Can't See Ruling That Lou

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

4 fit boxing shows main event
loomed today as Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn prepared to buck the District
Boxing Commission and force show
down on the muddled Lou Gevinson-
Ray Ingram situation.
GevlnSon and Ingram, local feather
weights, have been signed to fight one
Of four l0-round bouts on that card,
but the local swat body has refused to
sanction the argument-a direct con-
Iadiction OF statement made by that
group less than three months ago.
The commission, on February 10,
vent out Of its way to say it would
desire a fight between Ingram and
Gevinson. This was after Gevinson
had lost his only professional start to
Johnny Pena. The boxing body at that
time issued q written statement to all
papers recommending Lou and Ray
collide for the District featherweight
title.
What has happened since that time
to disturb the commissions belief that
the bout would be desirable is beyond
the comprehension of Ahearn and
Promoter Joe Turner. Ingram since
has gone undefeated against crack
opposition, while Gevinson has re-
manned idle due to an injured hand
and case of sun poisoning received
while vacationing in Florida
Four Fights to Be Featured.
THE commission bases its ruling on
the fact that the scrap is not of
enough importance to warrant feature
billing, yet the bout, while admittedly
more attractive locally than the other
three fights planned for the card, still
Is only one of four 10-rounders. What
would prove the feature attraction,
therefore, would depend totally on the
customers.
Another puzzling angle is the fact
that the commission allowed the same
thing to happen in 1885, with the
result that the card drew the second
largest gate Of the year. On that
occasion Buck Everett met Bob God
win, Sid Silas fought Phil Fur and
Petey Sarron battled Joe Rivers, none
OF which then could hold the pro-
verbal candle to the interest which
has been worked up for a Gevinson-
Ingram match.
That card was promoted by the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club, with
Maj. Harvey l.. Miller. secretary of
the District Boxing Commission, as
matchmaker. 1t drew more than $l6,-
900 and was regarded as one of the
high lights of the season, being sur
passed from a financial standpoint
only by the Tony Canzoneri- frankie
Kick debate.
Meeting at ringside last night at
Turner'S Arena, Commissioner Ken
meth Parkinson and Maj Ernest w.
Brown, chairman, vetoed the bout.
Claude Owen, the third member Of
the commission, was not present.

 "When he came to himself. he learned that a marriage ceremony had been performed and he greatly regrets the embarrassing situation in which the young lady and his friends are now placed"
 The new Mrs. Ryan talked to her husband a few minutes yesterday. She said that Bagby's statement was grossly unfair" She intimated she intends to answer his statement with one of her own.
 Friends of the bride said Ryan first came here on Tuesday of last week while visiting Western North Carolina. They said he proposed to her three minutes after starting an automobile ride last Thursday and they were married the same night by justice of the peace here. The bride later returned to her parents home.
 Neither Bagby or Paul Barkley, father of the bride, would discuss possibility of an annulment. Her child, 1t was said, was born last September. Mrs. Ryan was in see clusion at her parents home. Dr..

 On the same day he revised his report on the number of dead and fixed 1t at "thousands." He said that on Oct. 2 50 Haitians were killed and "their bodies thrown into the sea at Monti Cristi."
 A visitor told the writer that a large prison at Monti Cristi was packed with others, men, women and children, and that when the or- der came they were assassinated, and that not one escaped"
 Matters Very Serious
 The next communication, dated October 26, reads in part:
 Last week mentioned the trou- ble in Santo Domingo. Matters are now very serious, in spite of the fact that circulars have been distributed announcing that an inquiry is to be AkkHuO ulJV UktG HiuoouOASs 4AO AAuo sacres in santo Domingo constitute one of the major crimes of history. I made an investigation yesterday. The testimony of all parties con- firms what has been reported.
 "The rural police rounded up the Haitians in the different districts and brought them to Dajabon in bands of about 150. When they ar- rived there they were told that they could not cross by the bridge and were led six at @ time through the belt of forest south of the customs. Here men armed with clubs, mach- etes, daggers with three prongs, and bayonets awaited them. The men were clubbed first and then hacked to death with machetes. Women were told to raise the right arm, and were killed with three pointed daggers, and the children were toss- ed on bayonets.
 Soldiers Shot for Refusing
 "There Is abundant evidence that many of the soldiers were shot rather than carry out the cruel or- derS. Those who did the executions were kept in e drunken condition.
 Tt is quite impossible to know the number of the dead but they must amount to thousands. One of the officers told me that @ conserva- tive estimate was 5000.
 Haitian Foreign Minister Georges N. Leger and minister to the U. S. Ellie Lescot conferred yesterday with Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles. Leger said that both he and Welles were hopeful the situa- ton might be resolved by peaceful diplomatic negotiations.
 Welles then defended this coun- try's interest In 1t against a state- ment by Andres Pastoriza, Domini- can here, who criticized the United States unusual" interest in what he described as Q local incident.
 Try to Avoid Break
 It was believed that this govern- ment would make every effort to facilitate 0 settlement to avoid e possible break in the Buenos Aires inter- American peace treaties.
 There were no official reports from Haiti, and 1t was believed that the reported attacks had ceased. Earlier there were reports that Dominican troops were being massed along the border in readiness for an expected uprising among Haitians.
