NEW YORK, May 10.-The cir
Gus having hit the high road
they're going to have fight in
Madison Square garden Friday
night, and it's about time In the
past two or three months every
body has been fighting but the
fighters-hockey players, second
basemen and even jockeys.
Friday evenings entertainment
will be furnished by Kid Choco-
late of Cuba and Honest Tom Wat
son, the estimable pubkeeper from
Merrie England. The featherweight
championship of the world will be
on the table. We like the Havana
Kid. It is with much fear and
trembling that we pick against the
Englishman for Honest Tom made
a magnificent chump out of us the
last time he went to the post.
That was the occasion, you will
remember, when Tom outpunched
and outgamed Fidel La Barba,
much to the surprise of everyone,
including Charlie Harvey, Toms
manager. 1t was two days before
this fight, in discussing Toms
chances. that We said he couldn't
knock Jackie Cooper's hat off with
blackjack at two PAGES, and asked
him please to wire his folks. So
what did he do? Nothing, except
wham La Barba all over the pre-
mises and win in common can
ter.
Our selection of Chocolate won't
stand scrutiny. The Havana Kid
has whipped La Barba but he also
has been beaten by Fidel. And the
two decisions Chocolate received
were closer than Roosevelt to the
general situation. He never handled
La Barba with the ease Watson
did.
Punches Hard
Furthermore, Watson, despite his
awkwardness, is wicked body
puncher. In close the seaman rips
in both hands after the manner of
a pneumatic drill. It was this stea-
dy rat-a-tat-tat to the belly that
slowed La Barba to a walk and
made his Sunday-go- meeting
punches Intellectual. Now Chocolate
isn't geared for body punishment
One look at his spidery little waist
shows you that.
What then, makes us like his
chances? Well, for one thing, we
don't believe Honest Tom will be
around long enough for his body
punching and unlimited stamina
to swing things his way. He is a
sucker for an uppercut and Choco-
late's uppercut is his best shot.
Moreover, Chocolate is at his best
against a slow-moving target. Wat
sons mauling, failing style will be
nothing new to the Havana Kid,
for he has fought and licked sew
eral men with that style, including
Watsons countryman, Jackie Kid
Berg.
What if Chocolate doesn't put
Watson away by the tenth or so?
Well, we agree with Tony CANON
eri about that. It's Tony's opinion
that if Honest Tom reaches the
ninth or tenth in good shape the
Havana Kid is in for licking. But
and you will pardon us now
while we scamper out on nice,
long limb-we don't think Tom'll
be with us at the tenth. Around
about the seventh or eighth we
look for Chocolate TO make him a
member of the landed English gen.
try, so to speak.

Kansas State Prison at Lansing
last Memorial Day.
A reign of terror throughout the
Southwest followed the prison
break. and several of those to
escape. including both Underhill
and Bailey, were accused by the
Government with participation
last June II in the Union Station
massacre in Kansas City, in which
four officers and their prisoner
were slain.
Underhill has been identified.
Federal officers have declared, as
the man who stood beside Bailey
as the latter turned a 1ethal fire
from a machine gun into the
group of officers and their
prisoner.
Underhill was not armed with
a machine gun during the massa-
ere, officers said, but, instead,
carried an automatic pistol.
Underhill has been termed by
officers as one Of the most danger
GUS criminals in the country and
has been identified as partici.
pant in numerous bank robberies
throughout the Southwest since
his escape from the Kansas
prison.
Sent Police Confession
Once he sent officers a econ.
fession" to the robbery Of q bank
in Arkansas and to make his con-
fession authentic he attached his
fingerprints to the letter. Of
ficers discredited the confession,
as the robbery took place the day
before the Kansas City massacre
and they believed the fugitive was
attempting to establish an alibi
for the massacre accusation.
Several weeks ago he surprised
officers by boldly walking into the
county clerks office at Coalgare,
Okla, and asking for a license to
wed his childhood sweetheart.
His actions were so bold that Of
ficers were not suspicious. It
was several days after the cere-
mony when his true identity was
discovered.
Escaped Two Weeks Ago
Only two weeks ago Underhill
barely escaped capture when he
slipped through trap that had
been laid for him by Joplin, Mo-,
officers.
Underhill was said by officers
to be a killer and they had pre-
dicted he would not be captured
without a gun battle. Officers on
his trail went in groups, all heav'
lily armed.

NEW YORK, Dec. SU N1.N.S.J.
The Federal Government chalked
up another victory in its war
against big-time gunner and
bank "stick-up" men with the
capture of Wilbur Underhill in
Shawnee. near the Bad Lands of
Oklahoma, the "hideout" spot Of
the country, renowned through
tho years as the secret "lying-up"
place for criminals from the Jesse
James gang to AL Spencer and the
Bailey -Underhill mob.
Detective Scores Again
Underhill, a mean, vicious, un-
hesitating gunman, was a little
too slow today, and Ralph Colvin,
"DJ" roundup expert, who has
been after him since the Kansas
City massacre last June II. and
who took Bailey and Kelley, his
associates, scored once more
against the mobsters.
Harvey Bailey and Wilbur I'm
derhill have been recognized for
long time by the denizens Of the
underworld as the "all-Amerlcan''
bank holdup men of the day.
And Underhill is said by all his
associates to be the most danger
Gus of the gang.
Too Quick With Gun
Bailey worked with him many
times, but always With some
trepidation. Bailey liked to pull
clean jobs, while Underhili never
was slow to shoot.
They came into unusual prom
inence on May 30, last, when they
were in Kansas State Peniten
tiary. and during baseball
game, flashed guns which hac
been smuggled in to them, kid
naped the warden and went ovel

BANKERS CODE
BLOCKED BY
JOHNSO
NRA Deputy 0usted For
Reporting Administrator Had
Approved Rules
By International News Service

On the WarpaCn over an MIA
announcement that he had seen
and approved the elaborate sched-
ule of fees q group Of New York
banks proposed to establish jan
uary / for servicing small &C.
counts, Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. Johnson today moved
swiftly to correct the apparent
misunderstanding.
First he dismissed Deputy Ad-
ministrator Cary N. Weisiger. jr.,
in charge of the banking code, for
being responsible for the errone-
Gus press announcement.
Next he ordered the indefinite
suspension of the proposal of the
New York bankers and those Of
bankers in any other city until
specifically approved by himself
In person."
Banks Get Time
Then he extended from January
1 to February / the time in which
banks are to file schedules Of fair
trade practices with the NRA
under code Of fair practices and
competition for banks. He said:
"It should be distinctly un-
derstoOd that the fair trade
practice rules now being formu-
lated by banking and clearing
house associations throughout
the country, in pursuance Of
provisions Of the bankers code
of fair competition, have not
yet been approved by the ad-
ministrat0r and are of no ef-
feet until they are so approved.
Each local or State assOcia-
tiOn, under the code, may sub
init such rules, but in every
case the proposed rules will be
subjected by the administrator
to careful scrutiny in the pub
lie interest.
"The statement that any
such standard rules have been
approved by the administrator
was absolutely unauthorized.
They have not even been sub
mitted to the administrator"
The NRA said banks through
out the country are now pre-
pairing or have prepared proposed
rules according to standard
form which it developed today
General Johnson had never seen
nor approved.
Bank Chiefs Advised
Johnson sent the following
telegram to Frank w. Simonds,
secretary of the Banking code
committee, New York city, which
had circulated the so-called
Standard rules to nearly 700
banking and clearing house as
sociations:
"The statement in your stand.
ard rules that they have been
approved by the National Recov.
cry Administrator effective Jan.
uary /, 1884, 10 not correct. had
never even seen these rules
until I saw them in this morn
ing's New York papers. These
will be suspended indefinitely
and Immediately until specifi-
cally approved by myself in per.
son.
'The time for filing accept
able rules to govern fair trade
practices is hereby extended 30
days. You will please imme.
diately inform all interested par.
ties including everyone to whom
you have sent these standard
rules to prevent those rules from
going into effect in any region"

CONGRESS ACTS
ROLE Of LAMB
|NMEEKNESS
Senators and Representatives
Bring Ideas to Session, But
No Fight Behind Them
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Washington is witnessing one
of the most unusual gatherings OF
Congress in many years.
Ordinarily the returning legis-
lators stamp into Washington
fresh from their constituencies
with ambitious programs which
they announce they are going to
fight for and figuratively die for.
Ordinarily, their pockets are
bulging with bills and resolutions
which they loudly acclaim. Ordi-
narily, the opposition breathes
fire and birthstone against the
administration in power.
It's Different Now
It's all so different this time.
The lawmakers are pouring into
Washington on every train for
the session that begins next We'd
nesday, but they are coming
quietly, with one eye cooked ap-
prehensively in the direction Of
the White House.
Few are offering any legiSla-
tive panaceas for what ails the
country. The legislative hopper
contains only dozen or so
bills, whereas in other years hum
dreds were on fill at this time.
They have bills and resolutions.
yes. and they plan to introduce
them,, but they say with apollo
getic shrugs that of course they
will not be pushed if the White
House objects.
TwO-FOld Reason
The reason for this strange
condition is two-fold:
Cd. The Administration Is
so completely in the saddle
with its overwhelming Demo
cratic majorities as to make
opposition virtually useless.
(2). Nearly all the members
of Congress are returning to
Washington impressed with
President Roosevelt's personal
popularity in the country. Some
of his policies. they admit. are
not so popular here and there.
but the President, himself, they
agree, has suffered no diminu-
| GAOu AA HIS pC4SOAAdA appeal.
The silver bloc is intent upon
completely remonetizing the white
metal and are going to fight for
it. But privately they admit q
disapproving nod from the White
House will stop the fight. The
nod has not come yet.
Republicans Pacific
The Republicans are not going
to offer a program. The Senate
Republicans. nearly half of whom
are openly supporting Administra-
ton policies, will go through the
motions of a party caucus on
Tuesday. but it will be largely
pantomime.
On the House side, Representa-
tive Smell, the Republican leader,
has not even called meeting Of
his followers.
Both he and Senator McNary
of Oregon, the Senate leader,
agree no party program will be
offered. Instead, the Republicans
plan to sit back and await de-
velopmentS.
