The Human Side of the News
Bu EdlUin C.. Hill

don County Council called
upon DIR. Cannon to resign
his post as the head of a
noted institution, but, after
further inquiry, withdrew
the demand.
1t was DR.. Cannon who
in his new book, "The In
visible Influence" went on
a journey to the Grand
Lama of Tibet and wit
messed many things beyond
the ken Of human experience
and belief. He saw a tree
withered by a pointed fin
ger, and used his camera to
record the fact.
Pure Mental Effort
Nearing the monastery
where the Grand Lama
dwells, DIR. Cannon and his
guides came to a gulf so
feet wide, impossible. A
messenger from the Grand
Lama waited for them on
the other side of the gulf.
He told them what to do
DR.. Cannon and a friend.
It was a matter, it seems,
of being able to suspend
the laws of nature, to
tighten the weight of the
body by holding the breath,
by pure mental effort. In
a few moments the doctor
and his friend were on the
other side of the gulf, but
their guides and their bag
gage remained behind.
He was received in full
audience by the Grand
Lama. A blush aura, three
inches thick, surrounded
the whole person Of the
Buddhist saint. A coffin
containing a dead man was
brought in and DR.. Cannon
was allowed to. examine as
he pleased. He concluded
that the man had been dead
for more than "a hours. At
the command of the Grand
Lama the dead man opened
his eyes, raised himself and
walked to the Grand Lama,
assisted by two monks. He
bowed and walked back to
the coffin, apparently be-
coming lifeless again.
Strange Testimony
No book in many years
has stirred up as much con-
troversy. Major Yeats
Brown, celebrated for his
book, "The Bengal Lancer,
and a veteran Of many
years experience in India,
had this to say in the Lon
don Sunday Express: Il
cannot explain the phe-
nomena produced by Tibetan
magicians. 1 do not know
how they can overcome
physical fatigue so that
they can run more than one
hundred miles without stop
ping. Nor how they can
conquer gravitation. Nor
how they can swallow
deadly doses of poison
without injury. Nor how
they can pass at will into a
trance which closely re-
sembles death, with heart
and lungs at a stanustlll.
I haye seen three of these
mysteries with my own eyes,
and although I cannot ex-
plain them, I know they
exist"
There is much other testi-
mony along these strange
lines, that of Madam David
Neel, for example, and of
many other travellers to the
Roof of the World where live
men whose only concern is

mond Street Jail to a cell in
another gray pile Of stone in
the interior of China-the
Use Shan Monastery. One
of this worlds strangest
characters has made this as
tonishing transition. The Ig-
natius Trebitsch Lincoln, who
was a war-spy prisoner in
Raymond Street fifteen years
ago, is today the Abbot Chao
Kung, in the religious house
of the Buddhist faith.
Lincoln is but one Of the
many hundreds of white men
who have embraced this old
faith and it's rules; severe
rules, meant to humble the
body and liber ate the spirit.
The Buddhist monks dress
only in rags, sewed together
with their own hands, a yell
low cloak thrown over the
rags. They eat only cne meal
a day, of the simplest food,
and before midday. They
possess nothing in the world
except the rags they wear
and the begging bowl with
which they collect their food.
Gamut of sects
For a part Of the year they
live in the forest, with no
other shelter than the shadow
of a tree. There they must
sit on their carpet, and even
during sleep it is forbidden
to lie down. They must alb
stain from dances, theaters,
songs and music, personal
adornments and perfume,
luxurious beds, gold and
silver. The good things Of
this world are not for the
monks of Gautama Buddha.
And now Trebitsch Lin
coin, the Abbott Chao Kung,
has organized band Of II
European verts to
Buddha and will 60 with
them to Europe to spread
the gospel Of the 227 pre-
cepts.
In his SIS years the Abbot
Chao Kung has run the
gamut of sects and creeds.
He was born Jew in
Hungary. In his 22d year
he was a Presbyterian in
Canada. Later he became a
curate of the Church of
England. And then he was
out Of the ministry and a
member of the English
Parliament. Next, he went
into the British Intelligence
Service and began traffick-
ing with the Germans. Ar
rested as a spy, he man
aged in some way to make
his way to America.
Fantastic Tales
He was caught here, jailed
and finally deported, and
the gates were closed for
ever against him. He was
not even to see his con-
demned soldier son, who in
a rage had killed a woman.
But he wrote this line to

Boxer AGAINST Hitter.
THAT is the same thing Ross will

THAT is the same thing Ross will
i have to guard against. Art
Winch has handled fighters for
the past Is years. He knows that
the battle between his boy and the
smiling 1rishman will pit a boxer
against the hitter.
This does not mean that Ross is a
better boxer than McLarnin. Barney
must depend on smart boxing to null
lily Jimmys punching power to es-
cape knockout. The latter does not
step around as much as his opponent.
Hence the idea that Ross is faster and
the better boxer. Jimmy depends
more on feinting his opponent into
position for a sleep-wallop, while Ross
steps in with his jab and backs up
just enough to counter with a left
hook That is the difference in the
boxing tactics of the boys.
It was noticeable that when Pop
Foster selected Sparring partners for
McLarnin he favored speedy boxers.
In the case of Ross, Winch lined up
hitters who did not move around
much. Training bouts give you a
good line on the battle plans of con-
teStants, and at this writing it looks
as though Ross will depend on fast
footwork, while McLarnin is stressing
a body attack and a short right-hand
counter to the head of an aggressive
boxer.

Displaying Much Speed.

THROUGHOUT his boxing drills
i with Phil Rafferty, and AL CAST

darting in and out and keeping both
hands pumping blows with the even-
ness of piston rods.

up any openings. He Is as sharp as
whip and those who tasted his sleep
punch did not know what happened
until after it landed
Take Tie fight with Young Cor
bett, Sd. Corbett's own words are
illuminating and, in the case of
Ross, instructive:

minutes of pounding l had him in a
corner and switched to my left to
put over the finishing punch The
next thing I knew the fight was
over and I still don't remember how
1t happened"
Ringsiders will tell you that Nc
Larnin played foxy game by let
ting Corbett take the fight to him
and riding with the punches of the
southpaw. Jimmy knew his ad-
versary depended on a left swing to
win the fight and, as he backed into
corner, kept his eye peeled for that
left. AS Corbett drew back to get
more power behind the blow, Jimmy
jabbed to the body and crossed his
right. That was all that was neces-
sary. because the mitt was laden with

of Fatal Accident.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TIME suspension which threatened
to bar AL Gordon. race driver
of Long Beach, Calf, from the
50O-mile race at the Indianapolis
Speedway May 30 was lifted yesterday
by the Contest Board of the Amer
ican Automobile Association.
T. E. Allen, secretary OF the Con-
test Board. telegraphed Gordon from
Washington that the 45-day suspen-
sion against him had been lifted as
the result of a hearing before A. A. A.
officials at Indianapolis.
Allen said actions by Gordon had
been considered "prejudicial to the
best interests of racing" but that the
suspension was lifted in view Of
pledges made at the hearing and testi-
mony that Gordon had apologized to
persons involved.
A hearing also was given Art
Sparks, part owner Of the car which
Gordon is scheduled to drive at In
dianapolis, but the 2-year suspension
pending against Parks was confirmed.
Allen refused to discuss the back
ground of the suspensions, but it was
said in informed circles that the
actions against Gordon and Sparks
resulted from a controversy following
the racing accident at El Centro,
Calf, last March in which Ernie
Triplett was killed.
Gordon's car was involved in the
fatal accident, and officials of the
automobile association awarded prize
money to other cars which were
stopped by the red flag after the
crash. The officials said this was
the usual procedure, but Gordon and
Sparks protested vigorously.
Sparks behavior at the time and
statements made by him later were
objected to by the association.
