A LONG Caulif1ower Alley you can
hear talk (a) that all this shadow
boxing is preliminary to deal" be-
tween Jacobs and the Garden, here
tofore longtime allies in the ticket

All direct evidence, however, indi-

which is another name for Mike
Jacobs, Inc, intend to remain in the
lstic field, They probably prefer to
be friendly rivals, for number Of
sound business reasons. But if nee
essary, both are prepared for finish
fight
The Garden has survived inter-
mittent splurges of opposition The
current Garden matchmaker Jimmy

rival promoter that he finally was
taken into the fold Jacobs, for is
years, was associated closely with Tex

Objected to Johnston.

down the second of two propo-
sitionS to pool his flstic interests with
the Gardens. 1t was understood that
one stipulation, which Jacobs rejected,
was that Johnston must remain as
matchmaker. 1t is no secret that a
chronic feud exists between these two
operatives.
The origin of the Twentieth Century
Sporting Club was due partly to finan-
cial differences between the Garden
and representatives of the Free Milk
Fund for Babies, Inc, of which Mrs.
William Randolph Hearst is chairman.
This split led to an alliance between
the Hearst charity sponsors and
Jacobs. Jacobs has an agreement to
promote two milk fund shows year.
Otherwise, the Twentieth Century
8. c., says Mike, consists exclusively
OF Jacobs, Jacobs and Jacobs. For
window-dressing purposes, at first,
William F. Carey, who succeeded Rick
ard as directing head OF Madison
Square Garden. was named president
OF the club. Carey subsequently with
drew and now is sanitation commits
sioner of New York.
Fortified by his term contract
with the rings No. l drawing card,
Joe Louis, Jacobs steadily has
strengthened his position. In addition
to the big three" in the current
tangle, Max Baer's comeback now is
slated to be conducted under the
Twentieth Century banner. All told,
Jacobs has at least a dozen fighters
under personal contract.

SENATE GIRDS
: TO BLOCK TAX
INCREASES
International News Service

Needing President Roosevelt's
pledge against any tax increase
this year, Senate leaders rallied
today to defeat the insurgent La
Toilette drive to impose higher
Federal income taxes.
Senator La Toilette (PO of Wis
consin, offered four plans for
higher income taxes as amend
ments to the pending $3.50, 1000, 900
miscellaneous tax extension bill.
His proposals would raised from
$110,000,000 to $347 ,000, 900 in new
revenue annually.
Despite the greatest govern
mental debt in history, an unbal-
anced Federal budget and a stead
lily rising deficit, the leaders de-
clared higher income taxes now
might disrupt improving business
conditions and result in loss OF
revenue rather than a gain.
Surtax Boost Sought
One of La Follette's plans called
Tor an increase all along the line
In income SurtaXeS, to be accom-
pliShed by starting the lowest 4
per cent Surtax rate at $3,000 in
stead of at $4,000, as under exist
ing law.
Another would impose these new
rates and reduce the personal eX-
emptions from $1,000 for single
persons to $500 and from $4,000
for married persons to $1,000. A
third would impose a 2 per cent
normal rate on the reduction in
personal exemptions. A fourth
was combination of the other
three.
La Toilette based his whole drive
on increasing the Surtaxes by low
ering the bracket at which they
start from $4,000 to $4,000.
"BlOw to Industry"
At the same time Senator Van.

closed he would offer an amend
ment to modify the surtax on cor

ONCE UPON SEPT. 18TH


James Fenimore Cooper, who was
born 1863 years ago today, was without
experience a writer Che had, in fact,
been expelled from Yale for poor
scholarshipD when one day in the
course of reading an English novel
to his wife, he casually remarked, Il
believe l could write better story
myself"
Thousands and thousands have
made that remark.
Mrs. Cooper's response was, 'Why
don't you?"
Thus challenged and encouraged,
Cooper did.
The resultant Misunderstanding Tales
and other works, remain among the
most enduringly popular of all Anne
rican literature. Cooper is the best
known of all American novelists
Thackeray, Victor Hugo and Balzac
all paid tribute to Coopers power as
writer, and Joseph Conrad acknow-
lodged him as his master.
/ Yet in his own time, American crit
les attacked Cooper! One said of
him, in 1841: "He has disparaged
American lakes, ridiculed American
scenery, burlesqued American coin,
and even satirized the American flag"
Such epithets caused him to sue four
editors, including Horace Greeley, for
libel. Gle won three of the cases).
George B. Seldom had to do a lot
of suing, too, to establish his rights.
Having won the suits, the Rochester,
N. Y. man collected royalty on all
automobiles manufactured in the u.
S. for Is years, on the basis of pat
ent granted him AZ years ago today.
Seldom had filed his application for
patent in 1879; it required 16 years
for him to convince the Patent Office
a horseless carriage was worthwhile
invention and get financial hackers.

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-George Guyne-
mer, 21-year-old French lace of aces"
who had woman's face, was dead.
He was shot down in combat with
German reconnaissance plane, a day
after he had been credited officially
with destroying his 53rd German
plane. Unofficially he was credited
with 25 more. His ship fell into
huge mine crater near the German
front lines northeast of Ypres, dur
ing heavy British bombardment of
the area. Two German soldiers who
crawled through the boiling No-Man's-
Land to the plane, found the pilot
dead shot through the head, and took
his papers, which German authorities
sent to the French. Later there was
an unsuccessful attempt to find the
grave, and it is presumed that burial
never took place.
Guynemel shot down four planes in
one day, three of which he accounted
for in the space of 100 seconds. He
singlehandedly attacked group of
four, bringing down two.
With only three cartridges left,
minute later, while on his homeward
flight, he encountered another Ger
man and crashed him with one bullet.
His work was credited as the great
est individual military feat performed
in the air during the war.
Another day, with feints and lunges
he once drove an enemy plane to
earth inside the French lines when
the German machine had a crew of
three men and guns, while Guynemer
was alone and his gun was jammed
and useless. On another occasion, with
wing shot away by a shell, he dove
10000 feet to safety.
