With a record-smashing field Of

remain before the sixth annual
Washington Herald-Times Golden
Gloves Tournament gets underway
tomorrow night at Turner's Arena.
Seventy-five entries we're re-
ceived by novices up to the dead
line at midnight last night, sur.
passing the entry list of last year
by 16 starters. This, with close to
so seniors, is by far the biggest
entry in the history of the local
amateur classic.
ALL SIZES
Entrants came from all parts of
the District; big one, little ones,
lean ones and heavy ones. They
all make up the big field, and local
simon-pure followers are certainly
in for a treat when the beginners
go to the post tomorrow evening. 3

tiers hold attention tonight at the
Knights of Columbia Hall, Tenth

pairings are properly made for the
big grind.
Boxers are also reminded that
they MUST HAVE their Amateur
Athletic Union registration cards
with them. Those without cards
can secure them at the weigh-in
at a cost of Is cents. This is the
only tax leveled on amateurs in
the Golden Gloves tournament.

lions are that the largest first
night crowd will be on hand to see
the 1888 inaugural. Tickets are
priced at 40 cents, general admiS-
sion, and IS cents for ringSide
seats. Children will be admitted
for 10 cents.
No. l man for the past four
years, and still seeking his initial
victory, popular Mike "Diz" Eslin,
is expected to beat the barrier
and again be first in line for the
medical examinations tonight.

Mr.. Roosevelt described the sue
cess of Hardy'S office nj New York
on obtaining the spy convictions
as perfectly amazing. He said
he and the retiring United States
attorney had canvaSsed the entire
spy problem at a White House
conference yesterday. .
Although Hardy's resignation
was received with regret, the
President added, the New Yorker
had said that he was determined
to resign to reenter the private
practice of law.
Mr.. Roosevelt's revelation of the
coordinated anti-spy system in the
Federal government was his second
discussion of the nations problem
in combating espionage.
At his Hyde Park, N. Y, home
this summer, the Executive de-
plored the wave Of, secret prying
into this country's affairs, par
ticularly armament, and announced
then that a plan of detection
would have to be worked out.

next two years to unite rather
than to divide the party.
If the attempt is going to be
continued to prescribe those
Senators who think occasionally
for themselves and are not mere
coat-tail riders, the Democratic
party will be doomed in 1910"

Wheeler said the recent cleo

This election has proven that

Plans at Farley

reorganization bill should be intro.
duced or whether the program
should be broken up into four or
five bills. as urged by Senator
James Byrnes CD South Caro-
lima. who piloted the measure last
session.
Everyone admits, the President
said, the need to improve govern
ment. Congress has as much
information on the subject, gath:
cred over a 40-year period, as it
will ever get, he said, and Con-
gress, being the legislative body,
it is up to it to act.
OUTLINE OF PROGRAM
However the reorganization pro-
gram is presented to Congress,
the main proposals are expected
to include the following:
/. Authority for the President
to revamp and regroup various
administrative agencies with his
changes to become effective
dlIeI d Ou-udy pCI1Ou.
2. Creation of a Department
of Public Welfare another
agency of cabinet rank-under
which all welfare agencies of
the Government would be
grouped. While this was under
consideration at the last ses-
sion. WPA Administrator Harry
Hopkins was mentioned as a
possible appointee to the pro-
posed post of Secretary of Pub
lie welfare.
g. Provision of six executive
assistants to the President, to
take care of some Of the ire
mendous volume of work which
devolves upon the Chief EXecu-
tive.
4. Abolition of the Civil Ser
vice Commission and the ap-
pointment of a one-man admin
iStrator.
5. Abolition of the General
counting Office and the
Comptroller-General who heads
it, and the setting up of an au-
ditor general. This provision in
the bill caused a bitter fight at
the last session, with the former
Comptroller-Genera John R.
McCarl, urging that Congress re-
tain the office as the best check
on the Executive branch of gov
eminent.
TALKS WITH ADVISERS
The President conferred at
length yesterday with Senator
Byrnes and Louis BroWnloW,
Charles E. Merriam and Louis
Gulick, his three advisers whose
survey of the Government formed
the basis for the reorganization
recommendations. NJ
Beginning about the middle of
the month. Mr.. Roosevelt said to-
day, he expected to begin con-
ferring with congressional leaders

the coming session.
