Kayo Like Dream, Declares Retzldf.
Louis Seen as Substitute for Ether.
By JOHN LARDNER-
rushing in At the wall and

smashing your chin against it.
Be that as it may, Charlie tried to
fight. He came galloping in at the
gong and threw right hand at Louis.
1t caught the Negro's shoulder. The
second rush landed him on Louis hip.
On third down, Charlie elected to
buck the line again, but this time
he used his chin for interference. The
chin hit Joe's left hand, kerplunk, and
that was the end of Charlie.
After the fight, Louis said: Boy,
that man swings some right hand. I
hate to think that would happen if
he caught me with it. But that man
can't take no punch himself"
And that sums up the fighting
equipment of Charlie Retzlaff-A
right-hand swing as strong and virile
as the wind on the Dakota prairies,
and chin as fragile as a monocle.
He'd Like Another Helping.
IT'S ALWAYS interesting. though. to
hear what Louis victims have to
say after the fight. It's their only
real excuse for existence. Retzlaff
said, first Of all:
"He didn't hurt me. I'd like to try
it again, just for the H Of it."
Now, that speech is good, clean
comedy. the sort of thing no American
parents need be afraid to have their
children overhear. But 1t doesn't
make sense, and a few hours later
Charlie was talking in . calmer,
saner frame Of mind.
1T was q short fight" he said, "be-
cause gambled. came in swinging
and I caught one on the button. It
would Of been longer II lay back and
covered up, like them other guys done
with Louis. But don't get me wrong.
I couldn't lick the fella. He's got
everything it takes for q great fighter.
"He don't hurt you when he hits
you. At least, he didn't hurt me. It
was like q short, clean shock. I'm
coming in. thinking and worrying and
looking for my opening.
"Then all Of sudden. I'm
not thinking any more, and they
tell me I'm knocked out. It was
like q dream, them two trips to
the floor. 1 didn't know MOTH

CUSTER IS DEF|ED
BY ARCHBISHOP
Vatican Order Follows Fail
ure to Prevent Church
Scandal.
BY the Associated Press.

6y inc ASSOClateu EEcoS.
ROUEN, France, May l6.-An aged
Catholic archbishop, shorn OF power
because he failed to prevent a church
scandal involving his protege, refused
to relinquish his official post tonight,
pending q personal appeal to Pope
Plus.
Archbishop Andre Debois de la
Villerabel 72, defied q Vatican Or
der deposing him as apostolic admin
istrator OF the Rouen diocese and
naming Msgr. Jean Chollet, Arch
bishop of Cambria, in his place.
Secrecy surrounded the case, but
residents of this historic commercial
city pieced together these facts:
The archbishop some time ago dis
covered his vicar general, Msgr. Ber-
tin, was involved in financial irregu-
larities as administrator Of diocesan
converts.
Bertin, 63, had risen to his high
position as result of instruction in
church matters supervised by the
archbishop personally.
The facts and figures laid before
him, the archbishop allowed govern
ment agents to audit Bertins books,
thus bringing the case openly into
civil courts.
News of the investigation reached
the Vatican, where the deposition or
der was issued.
Msgr. Chollet. succeeding Arch
bishop de la Villerabel, appeared in
Rouen, May 2, to assume his new
duties, met with his subordinate off,
cials and prepared to move into the
Episcopal palace.
The archbishop, however, refused
to move from his quarters-an actor
which under French law is techni
cally legal because the lease of the
residence is in his name.
He dispatched personal appeal t
Pope Plus and maintained his posi-
ton pending reply.
In the meantime, at least one gov
ernment official was reported to hav'
interceded with the holy see on Msgr
De La Villerabel's behalf.
The foreign Office at Paris said
was unable" to confirm a repor

bassador to Vatican City, had dis

in the religious bulletin, which said
Msgr. Jean Chollet, Archbishop o

of the Rouen Diocese, a vacant see

Bank Robbery Law.
The Federal bank robbery statute
one of the more recent crime laws
passed by Congress, gave the F. B. I.
Jurisdiction in all robberies of Ma
tional banks and of some 5000 small
banks having membership in the Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corp.
There has been a marked decrease
in bank robberies since passage of
the law-attributable, according to the
American Bankers Association, to &C
tivities of the G-Men. Yet there are
about Is bank robberies a month still
requiring attention of the agents.
The little -publicized but very i'm
portant fugitive felons' act, passed
by the last Congress, placed upon the
bureau responsibility for arresting fu-
gitives from such State charges as
murder, kidnapping, burglary, robbery,
mayhem, rape, assault with a dan
gerous weapon and extortion by
threats of violence. Witnesses in such
cases who flee across State lines also

like millions Of other men, Is suscep-
tible to head colds. These colds are
uncomfortable, but not serious, and
during the more than three years that
Mr.. Roosevelt has been in office he
has not lost more than one days work,
although, following the advice of his
physician, he has remained In the
even temperature Of his bed room on
several occasions to do his work.
Frequently. on public occasions,
when Mr.. Roosevelt has done consid-
erable travelling and walking, or after
he has stood shaking the hands Of
hundreds or even thousands of people,
some have gone away saying how badly
he-looked. Some have said, in a con-
fidential tone, on such occasions, He
Is a sick man."
Only the other night at the recep-
ton given by the President to the
newspaper men Of Washington, more
than one, after shaking his hand in
the receiving line, made some COM
ment Of this kind. 1t is possible no
one stopped to think that Mr.. Roose-
velt had stood in line with his paraly-
sis affiiction for more than an hour
and q half shaking hands with more
than 1900 persons. This exertion
followed a days labor which included
more than 20 engagements of from IS
to 20 minutes each at his desk, and
the signing Of hundreds of pieces of
mail and the dictation of an equal
number Of letters.
He Exercises Daily.
Then, there are those who ask,
'What is Mr.. Roosevelt doing about
his health?" There is only one way
to answer this: There is nothing the
matter with his health. Probably this
question is intended to include the
question as to what Mr.. Roosevelt
does to keep fit physically.
In the morning before going to his
office, Mr.. Roosevelt calisthenics for
limbering up purposes, and each eve
ming after closing his desk at the
Executive Ofhce, he stops at the
swimming pool on his way to the

ROOSEVELT STILL !
|NBEST OF HEALTH
Any Whispering Campaign
Due to Be Discredited
if Used by Foes.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Certain foes of President Roosevelt
who have limited they will oppose his
reelection on the grounds that he Is
physically unfit for another four years
in the White House are likely to find
their argument is futile.
According to Mr.. Roosevelt's ply
sician, Capt. Ross T. Mcintyre, U. s.
A., who sees him virtually every day,
and who watches him like q trainer
does an entry in Kentucky Derby or
the Preakness, Mr.. Roosevelt Is
physically stronger today than he was
when he entered the White House
more than three years ago.
Despite his infantile paralysis
handicaps, Mr.. Roosevelt has found
he Is able to hold down the Job of
President. He has the blood pressure
OF man much younger than 81. His
l83 pounds is about normal for his
age, and he is more than 6 feet tall.
He has no known organic trouble. He
sleeps well and eats heartily, and,
except for susceptibility to colds in
the head. aggravated principally by
chronic sinus trouble, he Is in better
physical shape than the average man
in public life, particularly one over so.
Whispering Campaign Hinted.
Just the same, there is an inkling
OF the existence of whispering cam
paign which would have the public
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt Is not q
well man.
There is not the slightest indica-
tion that the Republican high COM
mand would sanction such an attack.
Just the same, 1t is likely that some
thing Of the kind will be heard in
the forthcoming battle.
About a year and half ago q whis-
pering campaign of this nature got of
to good start. 1t was seldom in any
social gathering in Washington that
some one did not ask, What is the
truth about the Presidents health?"
This writer can take the credit for
being the first to write a frank answer
to this question. If the enemies of
President Roosevelt have any idea of
using an attack of this kind in the
forthcoming campaign with any hope
of success, they are likely to be sadly
mistaken.

Reporters Not Admitted.
Anxious to preserve the privacy OF
her guests, Mrs. Roosevelt did not
admit reporters to the party, but left
details of the affair to DR.. Carrie
Weaver Smith, the superintendent.

declared afterwards.

neglect.
What Mrs. Roosevelt has done to-
day will no doubt affect public opinion
favorably and accomplish more for de-
linquent children than all the White
House conferences of experts"
School Conditions Deplored.
Mrs. Roosevelt gave the party be-
cause, as she explained at her press
conference Friday, she thought it was
high time the girls had q good time.
Her visit to the home left her ashamed
and indignant over the conditions she
found there: The buildings "antiquat-
ed and rat-infested," the windows SO
high the girls could never look out.

and the girls were driven back to the

ChOpping Champion
Coming To Maple

Maple, Sept. 9-Pcter McLarcn,
who claims the wood chopping
Championship of America, will
stage a log cutting contest and
demonstration here on Saturday
October 3rd, at 1870 O'Clock.
w. H. Snowdcn. local SaWmill
operator, arranged for the visit OF
McLarcn, whose Wizardry with an
axe has carried him from a poor
farm lad in Australia, to the peak
of his profession.
In chopping tours covering a
score of years he has chopped be-
fore hundreds of thousands. both
here and abroad. McLarcn who IS
nearly so years old, claims that
outdoor chopping is a great ply
sical developer. His own condi-
ton bears out this claim.
The contest is open to any 10
cal man who has not previously
completed against McLarcn. A
prize of fifty dollars will be paid
to any contestant if McLarCn fails
to chop through q log in two thirds
of the time the contestant takes.
The handicap gives all good
choppers a sporting chacc to win
the prize money. as it is just like
giving 33 yards i'll hundred yard
dash. The only restriction made
is that no contestant use an axe
Of the only particular brand that
MCLarCn favorS.
Every one is cordially invited to
attend the demonstration. Chop

NuLLIFICATIONISTS
OF A GOOD LAW

.ome length on the subject of drunken drly-
ing charges having been whitfield down 10
lesser offenses in Wake county inferior
re- courts. s'' ..s.~- ..'~r,s' .'
We are inclined to agree with much OF
the criticism accorded Wake officials by the
capital city journal. 1t is not only Ill tna'
county, however that such things happen
I'm TUESDAYS session of the Raleigh court
three cases of drunken driving were trled,
two defendants having their licenses revoked
and the third being allowed to plead gu lty
to reckless driving which does not carry the
revocation provision.
Not onlv in Wake do such things happen
but all over the state defendants are allowed
TO escape full penalty of the law by the SUD-
terfuge of admitting lesser charges.
For the safety of the people OF North
Carolina no law recently has been enacted
that would have more far-rcachlng effect
than the license act For court officials all
over the state to nullify that act and hence
endangcr the lives and limbs OF citizens IS
nothing short of criminal act III itself.
In respect to the local enforcement otti-
GERS, this charge cannot be made because
there has been more than one instance OF
police refusing to amend drunken driving
warrants once they have been drawn. And
the local officers have not gone OIL halt
cooked on such charge, each time the evil
dence being overwhelmingly against the de-
fendant. For this attitude they are to be
,n,,n,nndpI
Yet by the disgraceful acts of jurors III
our courts. defendants plainly guilty under
the testimony of intoxicated driving have
been released by vcrdicts of mot guilty.
A defendant who is certain the recorder
would find him guilty of the charge, prefers
to take his chance with six men, some OF
whom can be worked on beforehand by lax
attorneys.
So it is that he is turned loose again to
proceed on what might develop murder
Gus campaign. If drivers want to operate
their cars under the influence OF liquor, all
right; they should not squeal and squlrm
when they have to face the consequences.
Would that our police court Jurles ana
