banner of loyal and righteous ma

today by Chinese guerrillas at subur-

Chinese reports said the touch-and-

Rumors grew that guerillas from
PoOtung, across the river from Shang-

Blank Check
To Governor
Now Feared
Some Think Bond Bill
Gives Him Power To
Use Money AS He
Thinks Best
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 10.-Some of the leg
islatorS who Whooped the special SEES
sion bond act bill through the House
are now beginning to wonder if they
handed Governor Clyde r. Hoey anc
his Council of State something in the
nature of blank check.
Suspicious of this sort were at firs'
allayed and quoted by the fact thai
each and every purpose was set out
by name and specification and
it appeared to all that there was nc
earthly chance of using the money
for anything not so diagrammed and
specified in the act.
Careful reading and re-reading Of
Section 8 of the bill, however, has
put at least some to thinking some
what differently. They are begin
ming to believe that under certain cir
cumstances Governor Clyde r. Hoey
by and with the consent of his coun-
Gil, will be able to spend the money
for almost anything he sees fit.
1t is true that the section is full of
provided" and provided, further
clauses; but this fact is an addition
al source of worriment, rather than a
pacifier for those who are uneasy
in their minds.
Here's what Sec. 8 says:
"That the governor, with the advice
of the Council of State, is hereby au-
thorized and empowered to re-allocate
the sums appropriated in the forego-
ing section of this act, and to pro-
vide that the same may be used and

Nebraska Governor
Wins Third Term

L'ncOlntOn, Neb., Aug. 1O.-(AP)
Governor II. l.. COchrane gave
anti-third term tradition a licking
in Nebraska's primary yesterday as
additional returns today kept pill

Returns from 1,453 precincts in

New Congress
May Bar Some
1888 Winners
BY CHARLES Il. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, Aug. 1O.-Membership
in Congress of several who win the
November election may be contested.
An elected candidate can be barred
even though there is no doubt that he
outvoted all rivals, if it is proved that
he got his majority by unethical
methods. such as excessive expendi-
lures or the exercise of improper in
fluence in the primaries or in Novem-
Der. Such an exclusion does not seat
any one in place of the excluded as
pirant but it leaves that seat vacant
until another election has been held.
In my time in Washington there
have been three such exclusions by
the Senate. There may have been
more in the lower chamber but it is
impossible to keep track of the House
of Representatives.
Own Judge.
The Senate is it's own judge of it's
own membership.

Preparations already are under way

than a year in advance of the tour
ney, for the staging of the 1899 ma
tional women's golf championship, as
the club today is committed to hold
ing the feminine title show, II the
award is made by the United States
Golf Association.
The Congressional board Of gover-
nors, with all the financial facts on
the tourney before them, met last
night, quickly O.K'd the tourney,
and wired Mrs. Wright D. Goss Of the
women's committee Of the U. S. G. A.,
that Congressional would like to hold
the affair. The telegram was signed
by Theodore S. Grape, president. and
DR.. o. U. Singer, golf chairman.
Will Decide Wednesday.
Meanwhile the women's committee,
gathered at the Westmoreland Coun-
try Club near Chicago, was to hold .
preliminary meeting today to go over
the list of applicants for the cham
pionship. Several other localities and
several other clubs have put in bids
for the 1899 tourney, but the United
States Golf Association favors Wash
ington. A decision will come Wednes-
day when the entire women's commit
tee will meet with officers Of the
championship committee of the gov
erning body. The meeting originally
was scheduled for today, but was
postponed until Wednesday to give
Congressional time to act.
DR.. Robert A. Keilty, greens chair
man. and Mrs Ralph w. Payne, presi-
dent of the Women's District Coll
Association, who also is member OF
Congressional, have before them an
other letter from Mrs. Goss, ex-

TOMORROW NIGHT.
Future of D. c. SouthpaW at
Stake in Rain-De|ayed
Bout With QuarIes.
By BURTON HAWKINS.

Lou Gevinson, a steeple- -beaked To-
cal lad teetering on the brink of OBJ
livion. will attempt what has been
termed a comeback tomorrow night
at Griffith Stadium in a l0-round fea-
ture fuss with Norment Quarles. North
Carolina lightweight. Lou. in the
opinion of many ringwormS won't
have far to travel, for he never has
been anywhere in particular in pro-
fessional punching circles
The bout, originally slated for to-
night, was postponed due to rain.
Regardless of his mediocre record
however. Lou likely will attract a size
able gallery. for fans who relish
knockouts still flock to watch him
fling. Every pro he has faced, with
the exception Of Petey Sarron, has
caressed the canvas, but on three of
those occasions they staggered to their
feet and spanked Lou.
The misfortune of meeting Sarron
in the first outdoor show OF the sea-
son has confined Gevinson to punch
ing Government office equipment in
recent weeks. Lou decided he needs
more exercise and Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn feels Quarles is the ideal spec
linen for a strenuous session.
Ahearn, convinced District fistic
followers are interested mainly in local
fighters after scanning the sparse gath
erings at imported presentations, hopes
Gevinson re-establishes himself to in
sure a gratifying indoor season this
winter. The injured George Abrams,
who will return to action IN two
months. and Steve Mamakos have
given him the nucleus for cards to
cram Turner's Arena, and he would
like to add Gevinson's name to the
list.
Lou must win to qualify. Follow
ing losses to joey Archibald, Tony
Dupre and Sarron, Gevinson's popu-
larity skidded, and Ahearn will meas
ure his future on what materializes
against Quarles.
Quarles, former Southern Confer
! ence champion at the University OF
North Carolina, never has dropped q
bout to a southpaw, usually is q
winning mixer and is geared for the
route. Gevinsons lengthy layoff, mos
observers feel, will be a distinct handi.
cap against Quarles, who has beer
fighting steadily.
Bob Matthias, national amateur vel.
terweight champion, will make his
professional debut in the 6-rounc
