(COnLlnueQ rom Page 1.) Jacobs cabled to both Mike Jacobs and Johnston stying that he would fight both men and each was on hand today, with a horde of re- porters, to learn what it was all about.
 Will Confer Today
 The breakdown Is this: Joe Jacobs will confer with Johnston at the Garden office at p. m. He will then go to Mike Jocobs' office. After he has seen both he will announce his choice definitely.
 One very substantial reason for believing that the choice will be the Detroit Negro. Joe Louis, rather than the California Hebrew, Max Baer, is that Mike Jacobs said immediately on ship board that he would lay the $150,000 on the line this afternoon.
 Johnston, when asked if he stood ready to put up such a guar ahtee, said. ''We'll have to thing that one over"
 If Schmeling fights Louis, the fight will be at the Polo Grounds on September II. If he fights Baer. the fight will be at the Gar den Bowl some time in September.
 Joe Jacobs was very definitely set on the spot. The little man from New York's East Side put in a rectic hour talking for few mo- ments with one faction before be- ing nailed by the other side.
 Louis Is Almost Certain
 Boxing men were. however, fairly we'll agreed that Schmeling would fight Louis if he fights at all. There were some who believed that the German who once held the

 Mystery Box Delayed
 An unnamed congressman al- legedly received the "box" after q conference with a utility represen- tative in a swanky hotel here the day before the house voted on the controversial death sentence" clause in the Wheeler-Rayburn holding company dissolution bill.
 Whether the box contained cig- ars or something else is unknown. The committee hopes to find the answer to-day by questioning John w. Carpenter, president of the Texas Power & Light company. who established headquarters in luxurious Mayflower hotel during the battle against the death sen- tence."
 There was conflicting reports on the importance of the mysterious package as evidence in the con- mittee's inquiry. Chairman Hugo L. Black, d., Ala, insinuated, in questions directed at Carpenter yes- terday, that 1t contained something other than cigars.
 Denied Giving Anything The Texas Utility officials denied giving anything to anybody" and said he did not believe any con- gressmen visited his room the day before the vote.
 If ever gave anything away" he said, 'it was only few cigars"
 After almost an hour of talk about the "box", Black dismissed Carpenter, told him to "refresh your recollection" and to return for further examination to-day.
 The gray-haired Texan. who ad- mitted his company spent more than $30,000 fighting the utilities bill, testified to numerous hotel room meetings, lunches and fishing trips with Texas congressman be- fore the vote was taken, but de- nied his activities extended beyond efforts to persuade" the represen- tatives that the legislation was "de- structive.'
 Patton Was Angry The name of Rep. Nat Patton, d., Texas, was mentioned frequent ly in connection with visits to Car penter's swanky hotel suite. In. formed that he had been brought into the inquiry, Patton de- ] nounced the committees line of questioning as a 'vicious insinua- tion," and said he and his family were out of town that day the mysterious "box" was reputed to have appeared under a congress- mans arm.

 The Shine Boys of the Green are blamed for all the things done on the Green.

1 has decided on its policy. But Ethiopia's policy Is to de- mand firmly that the league carry out its pledged obligation to pro- tect members from attack from any sources.
 Joseph A. Avenol, secretary gen. a meeting next week. Then will come the test of the leagues desire and power to en- force it's covenant against war. Great Britain's most recent in- clination has been to seek to up- hold the leagues prestige if pos- sible through some happy formula that would not alienate Italy. Italy has said that 1t is none of the leagues business what she does in Ethiopia because Ethiopia has not fulfilled its obligations as a league member. It also holds Ethiopia to be the aggressor because of iron. tier clashes.
 At its last meeting the council provided for the joint conciliation commission, which Tecla Hawariat mentioned today. Italy and Ethi- opia had two members each. They failed to agree. The council pro- vided that if the delegates had neither agreed by July 25 nor ap- pointed a neutral chairman to cast a deciding vote, the council should meet to appoint one or take other action.
 If there had been no definitive settlement of the dispute by August 25, the council was to meet again.
 But Italy agreed to this com mission only on the ground that it consider frontier clashes alone, and ignore the wider issues of frontiers and spheres of influence. :
 Ethiopia wants the whole dis pute to be put under league juris- diction.

 Thus Benito Mussolini, pointing an enthusiastic nation toward war with Ethiopia, has worked out plan to develop the worlds most Efficient race of citizen soldiers.
 The plan to train youths of the 1915, 1916 and 1917 classes on Sat nrday afternoons from September 20 next to February 21, 1886, was announced by the United Press July 20. It is now learned that in addition they will be given spec ial night classes during the week.
 Their training, 1t Is indicated. will be highly intensified along technical lines. This is the reason sor the specialized courses for 4O,- 900 militia officers, one to every i2:5 youths.
 The classes are numbered by birth years, hence include the youths of 20 19 and IS years. N. Not only pre-army but pre-navy and pre-6ir force training will be given to the youths. born in the { World war years, many of them orphaned in their infancy when .their fathers died in the ar.

We Never Grow Up.
Cincinnati Enquirer.1


 Perhaps it is a mistake for governments news papers and clergymen who share the genial task of exhorting and coercng people into being good, to take seriously the petty rackets like ten-cent chain letters which appear spasmodically in these States The send-a-dime craze is admittedly di- vertng scheme to mulct the gullible as a penalty for their credulity It will not cost anybody very much small change before he gets wise to the rather obvious falacy in the idea. And if we are not falling for this bait, shall be losing as much cash in some equally unprofitable enterprise.
 It is a mistake to suppose that there is such thing the economic man." postulated by the economists, who acts always in his own best n- terest Probably it is also mistake to assume that man can be made into creature without lot of petty vices Human kind has shown through all the centuries a curously persistent fondness for being duped by wiser heads. One has but to read O. Henry's delightful volume called "The Gentle Crater" to realize how very easy it is to separate the average mortal from of his money.
 Manners change with the times No longer do peddlerS fill bottles from the tap, add dash of color, and sell the resulting potion on street corners by the light of a kerosense flare Neither do many artists in salesmanship offer genuine gold watches for a dollar, and leave town when their quota is sold The technic of the gentle grafter has changed with the changed mentality of the people But of grating, gentle or otherwise there still is about much
 By denying the public a lottery such this country used to have, have brought reckless folk to the dull extremity of wagering bank cearings and bowling scores to mention the theoretically nonexistent bookmaker flor the race tracks Our clergy have opposed legalized lotteries, and per- haps rightly but innumerable churches supplement their silver collections with the proceeds of their own little social lotteries
 In short it seems to be of mans natural and inalienabe rights to throw his money away if he wants to. No fiat of government no thunder GUS exhortation from press pulpit, will deprive him of that right To be sure public policy should and must be against the grafter, however gentle, and probably it must seek to protect the gullibe on every count. But it would be just well to put the emphasis repressing the rackets that serious drains the family pocketbook, and leave such gentle gratis the send-a dime campaign to die of their own stupidity.

More Cooperation Against Crime.
CNew York Herald Tribune.) )


 We count it good news that plans for the es- tabishment Of a national crime institute and of a central radio station for the broadcastng of police information both in Washington nearing com petion The crime institute was specific recom- mendaton of the National Crime Conference called together last fall by the Attorney General The conference urged that a national scientific and educational center be established in Washington for the better training of carefully selected personnel in the broad field of criminal law administration and the treatment of crime and criminals" This is the general purpose Of the institute.
 An advisory subcommittee, appointed by the De- lpartment of Justice to study the project has made preliminary report wisely suggesting that modest beginning be made within the scope of the de partments present facilities It would organize the institute in three divisions one to train State police parole and probation officers another to give prosecutors postgraduate course in the best meth ods of combating modern crime and a third to act "a clearing house for practical information
 Such clearing house is already in partial being result of the rapid development in recent years of the departments bureau of criminal Identification Though still far from adequate police chiefs the country have been learning more every day to depend on its records and in turn to add to them with information of their An obvious corollary of this interchange is the proposed cen tral broadcasting station, an idea of MT. J. Edgar Hoover's, which would make possible the instan- taneous 'banketng" of wide after the com mission O1 DanK rODDerleS ana Slmllar crlmeS anu the immediate dissemination of other important police
 Please note that neither of these two innovations -the crime institute and the central broadcasting saton--would involve any usurpation of the police powers reserved to the States. Their whole object would be of voluntary assistance to State and local authorities in line with that resolution of the National Crime Conference which stressed 'co- operation by all departments and agencies of Fed era State and local authorities as essential to the solution of the country's crime problem It will be hard to find objection to them

WEAR A POPPY SATURDAY.

AS President Roosevelt has said too much cannot be done for the disabled in the World War for the widows and children left fatherless by the gigantic struggle And it is upon this premise that American Legion Auxiliary and those interested in disabled veteran welfare hold the sn- nual poppy sale the proceeds of which go toward bringing little sunshine into the lives of those ravshed by war.
 Only honor can be paid to the dead. but the living victims of that armed clash must carry on some how and a generous people can show, Saturday, that they have not forgotten by wearing poppy. Women of the Legion will distribute the flowers the streets and the money thus raised will be expended entirely in the welfare work of the Legion and Auxiliary. It is laudable and the little poppy gives opportunity to prove that memory and gratitude for the sacrifices made for America during the still endures

 An ardent advocate of temperance, Miss Addams favored Prohibition but did not approve of the methods used in it's enforcement. Speaking of Pro- hibition she once said, If true temperance could be had I would much rather have that" Deeply
