BOTH BRUISERS

New York. June 21 W Jack
Sharkey weighed In at 205 pounds
today for his heavyweight nuc
fight with Max Schmellng In Madi
son Square Garden bowl tonight,
17 pounds more than the German
champion who tipped the scales at
188. I
The weights were a surprise to
both men, some three pounds over
what Sharkey expected to weigh
and two pounds under what Schmel
lng thought he would do.
Sharkey appeared to be in the
best of condition, calm and smiling
while Schmellng appeared drawn
And a trifle pale. The champion
was the more nervous of the two.
Dr. William Walker, commission
pnyslcian, examined both men and
said they were In excellent physical
condition. . Scr.rr.cling was the more
nervous of the two, he said, with a
heart beat of 79 as against 70 for
Sharkey. Their blood pressure was
normal.
Their physical condition was the
exact opposite of that expected.
Heretofore Schmellng has always
been as calm as a burgomaster out
for a stroll while Sharkey always
has been on edge. Several con
strued the evidence as Indicating
Schmellng might be a trifle over
trained. DALLES TEACHERS

Good Evening!
Sips for Supper
By DON UPJOHN
The new 3 -cent postage rok into
effect on July . It would be a
great saving to buy up a lot of the
2-cent stamps In advance.
And the 2-cent check tax is now
i. Every time you write a check
it's the same as buying a box of
strawberries, or paying for the pick
ing of two boxes, personally we a
rather sit around and write ehecks
than to pick strawberries but it
wouldn't do the government any
good.
And today Is the longest day in
the year. It will seem like It with
folks having to start in paying the
new taxes. And also wth us being
delegated the task today of keeping
the lawn watered the rest of tne
summer. We know where somebody
will be able to get some already
well cured hay in about a month,
Well, well, people voted Wright
at the school election yesterday.
And decided that a Pound of cure
was better than an ounce of pre
ventlon. That's one place where a
Perry didn't conquer at the poll,
And the remaining candidate prov
ed an easy Mark.
Our old friends Ray Glatt lost
out for school director at Wood
burn by two votes. The co-operative
didn't co-operate.
By the time we get beer back
the downy mildew will have clean
ed out the hop crop. Doggone, Just
one thing after another.
"A three-egg meal for 25
cents," says a local restaurant
sign. It's worth two-bits to wash
the dishes after a three egg meal.
We can't get the remains of a
three-egg meal off our upper lip,
let alone off , a dish.
Sure, you have to pay the tax on
the check vou wrote yesterday if
it wasn't cashed until today.
- While a committee Is trying to
work out a plan to save food which
Is going to waste on tree and vine
to feed the unemployed and needy
next winter canners are wondering
what they are going to do witn
warehouses full of canned fruit
from last year which hasn t been
sold and will probably tie sold at
a loss when it is. There seems
to be plenty of grub, but how to get
it Into the right mouths at the
right time is the big problem.
And incidentally there seems to
be a local overproduction of air
ports. Seemingly a nice young wcu
behaved airport can be had cheap
by the right party who will agree
to nurse it aiong ana oruig it uv
to an age when Its services will be
more appreciated. ,

Raskob stood squarely behind

GARFIELD SAYS
BORAH WRONG
Washington, June 21 JF James
R. Garfield, Cleveland lawyer who
played a leading role In drafting
the republican platform, told news
papermen today Senator Borah
had "totally misinterpreted" the
prohibition plank.
He flatly disagreed with Koran s
contention In his senate speech yes
terday that the plank was tanta
mount to repeal, although observ
ing that the suggested 20th amend
ment would take the place of the
18th.
Garfield, who was chairman of
the resolutions committee at the
convention, said'Borah's speech did
not surprise him, as he was fam
iliar with the Idahoan's views.
Garfield said he expected to make
a statement soon as to how return
of the saloon would be guarded
against under the republican policy.
Garfield said the plank probably
would not be approved by those
who favor no change In prohibition
or by those who favor outright
repeal, but would meet the approv
al "of the great mass of people Jn
between those two groups."
When Garfield was asked about
his announced Intention to issue
a statement about preventing re
turn of the saloon, he said "there
are a great many things that have
not been tried."

Borah States
Brown Expects
Saloon Return
Washington. June 21 UP) Senator
Borah, republican, Idaho, told the
senate today that Postmaster Gen
eral Brown said to him in a pri
vate conversation several weeks ago
that he expected to see the return
of the saloon and would rather
have that than present conditions.
Borah's statement came during a
debate with Senator Fess, repub
lican. Ohio, on Brown's views. It
waa a backfire from the speech
made by Borah yesterday in which
he said the postmaster general was
for repeal.
Fess at that time took Issue with
Borah, and today he placed in the
congressional record Brown's reply
to Borah, In which the postmaster

CLAIM KLUXERS
AID ROOSEVELT
New York, June 21 WV-The New
York Times said today that John
M. Callahan, member of the demo
cratic national committee from Wis
consin, has sent to all delegates to
the democratic national convention,
copies of letters Intended to show
the movement for Franklin D.
Roosevelt In the south received aid
from the Ku Klux Klan.
The letters purport to be corres
pondence between Roosevelt, his
pre-conventlon campaign manager,
James A. Farley, and organizers of
the Roosevelt Southern clubs. Calla
han obtained the letter from these
organizations, F. B. Bummers and C.
W. Jones of Atlanta, who are now
suing the governor tor money they
.m. u f, mcnev thev
said they expended In his behalf;
Callahan, running unpledged as
a supporter of Alfred . Smith, In
the Wisconsin primaries, was defeat
ed by Roosevelt delegates. In an
"open letter" accompanying the co
pies, he said "with such damaging
Information In circulation it will be
Impossible to win the election in
November unless another candidate
is selected at the convention in Chi
cago." The attitude of the Roosevelt
camp has been that neither Sum
mers nor Jones has been connected
with the Roosevelt movement for
several months and that any im
plication that the governor was
aware of their alleged dealings with
the Ku Klux Klan are too ridiculous
to be dignified by a denial.
SENATE DEBATES
WABNER RELIEF
Washington. June 21 (LP) The
senate resumed debate on the Wag

knowledge that it would have to be
acted upon today to make possible
the hoped-for adjournment by Sat
urday.
The house has cleared Its calendar
of Important legislation and now has
only to act on measures that come
over from the senate. The confer
ence report on the agriculture sup
ply bill was debated today. After the

an appropriation for grasshopper
eradication, the bill was sent back
lo conierence.
Speaker Garner said house leaders
did not expect to take any positive
action on unemployment relief until
the senate passes the pending Wag
ner bill.
Politics drew much attention in
both houses. Discussion of Senator
Borah's disavowal of President Hoo
ver's candidacy on the republican
prohibition plank was combined
with a new development in the form
of a presidential platform declara
tion by Speaker Garner, in which he
advocated repeal of the 18th amend
ment. SHOT TO DEATH ON

A decree outlawing communism,
