"I'll discuss fight with each New York promoter in position to pursue battle of this proportion. The man who can show me real money, the man who proves to me he can go, will get match. But it must be Labor Day at earliest. Jack has been idle for long time and he'll need a few fights before stepping into tough one. Both Gibbons and Willis are tough fights, don't fool yourself. "Jack wants to fight. He is now happily settled in married life and change has made different man of him. He's all business now. He is doing light training on coast and as son as I get back I will close June match. I hope to close for Michigan City between now and my return to Chicago. We are for Fitz. All we want is assurance he can go. Dempsey and Firpo would make great match here." There is another man I am deeply interested in. He is Joe Benjamin. To my mind he is as great lightweight as Dempsey in heavyweight and I want to send him against Sammy Mandell. I suggested to Pitz he stage such go May 31."

Senate Today Over $10,000,000 Charge WASHINGTON, March 14—As sensational climax to fight over the collection of income taxes by the treasury department, the senate this afternoon deprived Senator Richard E. Ernst, Republican of Kentucky of the right to debate for having publicly insulted a fellow senator. The vote was taken on a motion to restore Ernest's floor privileges after he was "called to order" for asking permission to call a fellow senator "a wilful, wicked and malicious liar." Ernest did not indicate who the term would be applied to, but the drift of debate pointed his remarks to Senator James A. Couzens, Rep. of Mich. The vote was 32 to 48. Ernest was prohibited from debating the subject under consideration at the time he was called to order. With a new subject before the senate, the rules permitted Ernest to resume debate as though nothing had happened. The clash came after Ernest denounced Senator Couzens for alleged persecution of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon in his investigation of income taxes. Couzens retaliated by charging Ernest with "tipping off" the treasury to cases under investigation so that important records could be destroyed. Senator Gary Glass, Democrat of Virginia, former secretary of the treasury, criticized both Ernest and Mellon. Glass said Mellon's arbitrary assessment of $11,000,000 against Couzens on the old Ford motor stock cases was "tyranny." A moment later, Ernest sprang to his feet and asked the presiding officer whether it was in order to "call a fellow member senator a wilful, wicked and malicious liar." This produced an uproar in the chamber, a dozen senators shouting for recognition. Above the roar of voices, Senator Glass was heard shouting: "Do you mean me?" Points of order were raised against Ernest from all sides of the chamber and finally Senator Robinson of Arkansas, minority leader, formally made the objection. The point of order was sustained by Senator Fess, Republican of Ohio, was presiding, and Ernest ordered to resume his seat. "I want the senator to be specific," Glass persisted; "does he mean me?" "I can't reply," Ernest shouted back. Order was finally restored when Senator Moses, Republican of New Hampshire, made a formal motion to restore his floor privileges to Ernest. The senator from Michigan should be the last man in the district attorney won't prosecute." Denied after a heated against holding boy.

G. W. P. (Hunt) today sent special message to legislature on eve of final session and declared he seriously considered calling special session.

Gen. John W. Murphy, in opinion ruled original copy of resolution must remain in files of secretary of state and may not be returned to legislature at request.

Order was finally restored when Senator Moses, Republican of New Hampshire, made a formal motion to restore his floor privileges to Ernest. The senator from Michigan should be the last man in the world to attack the secretary of the treasury," said Ernest in his speech defending Mellon. "The latter has set a splendid example." Instead of punishing Couzens, the department has been extremely fair to him," said Ernest. "The assessment was levied give the bureau time to investigate charges from an outside source that Senator Couzens made too low a valuation on Ford motor stock in his 1919 income tax report," decaled Ernest. "The department offered Couzens a waiver to sign and the senator refused to sign it. "Had the waver been signed no assessment would have been made, and if upon investigation the department found that its information was incorrect no other steps would have been taken. "Had the bureau acted other than it did, it would have been grossly negligent," continued Ernest. "It could not have done other than investigate a charge that if passed by might have lost the government $10,000,000." The tax records show that while Secretary Mellon in 1823 paid an income tax of $1,173,987.85, Senator Couzens, whose wealth is said to be $30,000,000, thrus the investment of that wealth in tax exempt securities, paid only $5,676," said Ernest.

Last night I wired Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania that I would give no further consideration to the proposition to come to Pennsylvania. Mr. reason for the action is twofold. First, the Pennsylvania situation is complicated by a breach between the governor and the school leaders. I doubt whether it would be possible for me to heal this breach, thus enabling me to put over a constructive program of education. "In the second place, the school situation here in California is such that I feel that I should not leave it at the present. "Evidences multiply that the forces of reaction, anxious to attack the educational program for which I have stood during the last 11 years are awaiting my resignation with intent to undo so much of the achievement of California in school affairs as they can.

Landreth of Placen-Amazement Among Debating Solons WASHINGTON, March 14.—Official announcement was made at the White House late this afternoon that President Coolidge will give Charles Beecher Warren a recess appointment as attorney general if the senate persists in rejecting his nomination. The announcement created amazement in the senate, which was debating the Warren appointment at the time, for only a few hours earlier President Coolidge had informed senate leaders, they said, that if Warren was not confirmed on the second attempt he would drop him and send forth a new candidate. The senate reached an agreement late today for the second time to vote on Warren at 2:30 p.m. Monday. Previously, after a gentleman's agreement had been reached to postpone action on the Warren case until Monday, Democratic leaders, incensed over the Ernst-Glass-Couzens row, decided to abrogate it and from one acrimonious debate the senate was suddenly pitch-forked into another. Senator Walsh, Democrat of Montana, brought in the majority committee report, censuring President Coolidge for resubmitting Warren's name after its rejection, and Senator Pepper, Republican on Pennsylvania, took the floor as the first of Warren's defenders. Senate leaders were uncertain in mid-afternoon whether a vote would be reached today. The White House issued the following official statement: "Notwithstanding various reports and rumors, the president is making every possible effort to secure the confirmation of Mr. Warren. "As time is very short and to accommodate senate, he has consulted certain men, and certain senators as to what course should be pursued in case Mr. Warren is not confirmed. "He has decided on no other appointment. He will offer him a recess appointment. He hopes however, that the unbroken practice of three generations of permitting president to choose own cabinet will not now be changed and that opposition to Mr. Warren, upon further consideration, will be withdrawn in order that country may have benefit of his excellent qualities and president may be unhampered in choosing his own method of executing laws." Sen. Walsh declared president's authority to send back Warren's name was "open to gravest doubt." The report also challenged senate's right to reconsider Warren appointment declaring "the senate is forbidden by its rules" from entertaining a nomination which I have stood during the last 11 years are awaiting my resination with intent to undo so much of the achievement of California in school affairs as they can. I shall not quit my office with snipers in the rear.” The educators is expected to lead an active fight against the two Deuell bills before the legislature, one of which calls for the abolition of his office.
