TWO counts Dy the NATIONAL DOAlng ASSO-
citation.
The N. B. A. ruled that Lewis had not
defended his title within the required six
months limit, and in addition was vir-
tually blind in his left eye. A board of
physicians examined Lewis in Pittsburgh,
Penna., last week and reported to the
boxing group that vision of his left eye
was impaired by a cataract. The recon-
mendation was made, however, that he
be allowed to continue boxing.
The Boxing Association, however, did
not agree with the physicians request,
pointing out that it would be to the
advantage of Lewis and boxing if he
retired from the ring. 1t was pointed out
that Harry Greb, Sam Langford, Pete
Herman and other boxers were allowed
to continue fighting while partially blind
and that Greb died as result of partial
blindness. q. Lewis in our belief GER

Gas Suicide BIames Act
On Heating System

DR.. Carl G. Holstrom, IS, killed
himself by inhaling Illuminating gas
in an apartment at 1904 Nineteenth
street NV. yesterday after writing
note to the press saying: 1T Is
all due to that heating system which
deprives the air of all oxygen, rem
dering it unfit for human con-
sumption"
Other notes were addressed to q
brother and to police.
DR.. Holstrom was found, lying
face down, on table with blanket
covering his head and extending
over the open burner of a gas stove.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
issued a certificate Of suicide last
night.
DR.. Holstrom was found in the
apartment of friend, located above
his own at the Nineteenth street
address. The coroner said he was
informed DR.. Holstrom owned the
building.
The note to the press stated: Il
am sorry that have to take this
step, but I have been under such
intense depression and suffering
that I can no longer endure it,"
CThen followed the reference to the
heating systemD
Am trying to make the best OF
it, Until now, has made the best
of me- And, therefore, I can suffer
this depressed feeling no longer. l
have always tried to do my level
best and I feel that now my work
is done"

Buenos Aires that he had ex-
changed views with GUAM on such
action. There was widespread expec-
tation here that the administration
would be glad to join in such q
declaration. Mr.. Roosevelt already
has expressed this country's pro-
found shock" at the Russian cam
paign and has undertaken to halt
the sale of American-made war
planes to the Soviet government.
Firms Reply to Appeal.
Another step taken by the Prest-
dent-his appeal that Finland and
Russia promise to refrain from
bombing defenseless civilians-pro-
duced a favorable reply from the
Finnish government yesterday, but
State Department ofilcials said no
reply had been received from the
Moscow government. Premier Com
missar Molotoff has called the ap-
peal "pointless," however, contending
the Russians were not bombing
civilians and did not intend to do so.
Finland's reply was as follows:
THE government of Finland, ap-
proving the principle Of interna-
tional law enounced by the Presi-
dent of the United States of America,
afirms its determination that its
armed forces shall in no event, and
under no circumstances, undertake
the bombardment from the air Of
civilian populations or Of unfortified
cities, upon the understanding that
these same rules of warfare will be
scrupulously observed by all their
opponents"
The Finnish Legation also made
public here a denial of charges that
Finnish troops had used poison gas.
The charges, it said, were broad
cast by Russian radio stations.
