SHIP SUBSIDY
FOES PLAN
FIGHT
international News Service

AS the answer to President
Roosevelt's request for q merchant
marine second to none" entered
the Senate today in the form Of a
compromise ship subsidy bill, q
strong bipartisan bloc organized
to "filibuster it to DEATH"
Headed by Senator Clark Cd,
Of Missouri, the bloc contended
the new bill contained "jokers''
which would permit the President
to grant unlimited subsidies, let
ship operators and contractors
make unlimited profits, and that
it fails to provide adequate pro-
lection for American Seamen.
Clark said:
"As the bill was reported to
the Senate by the Commerce
Committee, we might just as well
come out for outright Govern
ment ownership and operation
of the merchant marine. I'm
going to lead the movement to
fiIibuster it to death when it's
: called up on the floor"
Clark's fight to kill the bill will
also be supported by Senators Guf-
fey CD of Pennsylvania, and Glib.
son (R.) Of Vermont, authors Of
ship subsidy bills that were turned
down by the Senate Commerce
Committee. They announced they
will move to send the Administra-
tion bill back to committee and If
successful, then call up their meas
ureS.
Senator Copeland CD Of New
York, chairman Of the Commerce
Committee, said the fate of the bill
rests with President Roosevelt.

| Oily. Nose was coasting, a. his lead
was big enough to waltz through the
cision. johnson held Nose off in the
18th. There wasn't much action, and
it was even.
Nose was on top of his a in the
18th. From bell to bell he carried on a
fist assault that baffled the e%asterner,
but johnson was able to stand on his
pins. His strength seemed to be sapped
as he went to his corner. Feverishly. his
seconds worked over him to rouse him
from a daZed condition.
LaFontise Scores KayO
Nose rushed in for the kill in the
10th. johnson was floored twice, taking
nine counts. Just as the bell rang he
fell to the floor as the referee parted
the men from a clinch. johnson was
round. Nose centered on a facial at
tack. johnson wa floundering around
the ring. Nose deliberately planted a
left to the jaw and a right to the
stomach to send johnson to the floor.
He was counted out. His seconds drag
ged him to his corner and spent sew
eral minutes bringing him to.
Nose showed some effects Of the
hard milling. He carried a few bruises
and his sides were crimson. JohnSon'S
face was a sorry sight. One eye wss cut
and swollen; his upper lip was split and
there we're Jumps on his face. In his
corner, after the fight was over, he
complained of a belly ache. His usual
dark complexion had become a sickly
gray
Before the special pulled out of Bill
lings for Butte, Nose visited the White
Front saloon, operated by Bud Wright.
The bartender told Nose that MI. john
son was in the back ROOM. Seated at an
idle poker table, with his face buried in
his hands, johnson refused to talk to
Nose, who wanted to say good luck
and goodbye" johnson didn't get q
penny for his ring efforts. Nose then
panhandled the Butte crowd, who also
stopped at the White Front, for funds
to be given his defeated opponent. When
he emptied his hat on the bar it con-
tanned almost $500. Nose brought it to
johnson, who swept the money on the
to leave him alone. Nose and a few
friends gathered up the currency and
silver, leaving it in trust of the White
Front proprietor. johnson claimed the
money next day and headed back to
Philadelphia.
On the return trip to Butte, Frank
Conley OF Deer Lodge, decided to ride
home with the Butte crowd, a. he had
an early hour appointment at the Sill

on Conley by forcing the giant TO- &C

day; Present Day Resident of Butte
champion of Montana. Frank Brady
was anxious for johnson to annex the
title. He made a trip to Butte to sign
Nose for a bout with the Philadelphia
at Billings. While negotiations were
he was willing to back johnson to the
extent of $500. He peeled off a grand"
from a bulky roll. Hoy and DR.. Iron
side matched his bet.
Two Special Trains
It was the 81 900 bet that caught the
fancy of the sportsminded. It made
for interest in the match. Sheriff John
Mcmahon of Powell county, together
with Frank Conley and Col. Tom Nc
Tague were IN Butte when Brady signed
LaFontlse. When they learned that the
match had been signed, and were told
Of the $1,000 bet, they declared they
would hire a special train out of Deer
Lodge: They wanted to see Nose do his
stuff. Not to be outdone, Jack Hoy, DR..
1ronside, Tom Kinds, Frank Jines,
Charlie Rogers, Fred Brogan and w. A.
Clark Jr, arranged for a special train
from Butte. Brogan and Rogers were
sent to Billings a week in advance of
the bout to make bets for the Butte
gang. In this regard, they found In
Billings, plenty of Johnson minded fans
who were eager to Cooperate in max
ing bet placing an easy task. -.
At 3 o'clock on the day of the fight,
n men were weighed. The boxers had
posted 500 to make 142 pounds. John
son got on the scales first. There wasn't
a ripple to the indicator. The Phila-
delphian intimated that he was down
to 140 pounds. Nose stepped on the
platform, showing that he had barely
made the weight, the scale balancing
perfectly. Johnson, who owned a mean
disposition, made some wise crack about
Nose needing all of his weight to last
the rs rounds. Nose then proposed that
they fight winner take all. johnson
agreed, after firing a volley Of insults
at his opponent. The articles were then
and there changed to read winner
take ALL" instead of "65-35 split on the
gate"
BY agreement the main event vas to
start at $50. Two Billings colored boys
opened the show, then Jack Waite and
Kid Oglesby of Helena boxed -four
rounds. At 9:25 LaFontise, accompanied
by his brother Jack, Kid Oglesby, Jack
Waite and Professor Langdon, ap-
peared in the ring. johnson had not
shown up at 10 O'Clock. Dune McDon-

Good Advice
On Role

Pat O'Brien received technical
advice right from the sources for
his Omen role in Public Enemy's
Wife," the Warner Bros picture
which comes to the Earle Theater
tomorrow. His tutor was J. Edgar
Hoover, Chief of the Bureau of
Investigation of the Department
of Justice.
While making personal appear
anceS in Washington at the Earle,
the Warner Bros star was in
vited by Hoover to look over
the complicated and interesting
methods by which Uncle Sam
rounds up crooks all over the
country.
O'Brien spent some time at
headquarters. He fired off ma,
chine guns, looked over the
fingerprint and chemical analysis
department and inspected the
records and souveners of famous
man hunts.
In addition he had the oppor
tunity to tag" a wanted man
in Memphis, Tenn. Photostatic
copies of the fingerprintS of g
man picked up for vagrancy in
that town came hot off the wires
Hoover said:
"YOu pick him out, Pat"
The actor went to the correct
claSsificationS in the tremendous
series of fingerprint files and riff
fled down the cards. He found
one and it was put under the mic
roScope.
Pat compared the two prints.
"They're Identical" he said.
Hell be in Jail in Memphis
within an hour" Hoover told
him.
The most important thing he
did, in preparing for this role,
was to talk to the real Omen"
OBrien declared.
II found them quiet, modest
chaps who had no desire to talk
much about the splendid work
they had done. 1t seemed hard
to believe that these same men
had battled it out with blazing
machine guns with the most
dangerous criminals Of the cOun-
try"
