Dundee, who said he would continue to fight in junior lightweight ranks,’ an- nounced his decision to the state ath- letic commission, which he asked to take custody of the feather crown until a new wearer i¢ found. The commission also announced it had lifted the suspensions of Harry Greb, world’s middleweight cham- pion, and Kid Norfolk, negro pugilist, after similar action had been taken by Massachusetts «ing authorities, who suspended the two boxers after an unsatisfactory riatch in Boston last April. Dundee, whose sudden withdrawal from featherweight ranks caused a sensation, won the - 126-pound title from Eugene Criqui last summer at the Polo Grounds after Criqui had dethroned Johnny XKilbane -in the same ring. Dundee also held the junior lightweight championship until he was defeated recently by Kid Sul- livan. The commission announced it would conduct a tournament to deter- niine the successor to Dundee.

He assumed there was no ground for dispute there. “And now we come to turpitude,” he continued, “The hdseness and vileness of this crime are admitted. And nowhere in the jurisprudence of Tlinois is there a crime so vicious, so depraved as the crime at bar.” Mr. Marshall then cited a number of Illinois decisions, every one of which he said, had resulted in af- firmation of the death sentence, The first was that of Walter Krauser, who is in the county jail under sentence to die in October for killing a policeman. Krauser, Mr, Marshall pointed out, is 19 years old, the same age as Leopold. Mr. Marshall pointed out that Krauser's youthful companion, Ber- nard Grant, was also under sentence of death. “And can it be said,” he queried, “that these two shall be executed and two others of the same age but of bet- ter education and opportunities, who have committed a more atrocious murder, shall escape?” Mr. Marshall cited the case of! Eugene Geary, a Chicago gunman, who was sentenced to death, later found insane and is im Chester peni- tentiary. There was no parallel in the E(Hle-l ment of facts as to turpitude, said Mr, Marshall, Geary had no plan or pur- pose but yet he was convicted and if ever recovers his reason, must be re- turned: to this country for execution, Mr, Marshall recited a case in which a 19 year old youth named Anderson lost a plea from the death penalty for killing a policeman, Court then recessed, TAX APPEALS BOARD HAS DIFFICULTIES Claimants Fail to Comply With Regulations, Says Chairman Washington, Aug. 20.—The new board of tax appeals has found an additional difficulty in getting started with consideration of federal income tax cases, In a formal statement today, Chair- man Hamel declared the board was unable to receive a considerable num- ber of appdals because the claimants had failed to comply with the reula- tions, as a result about 200 cases are piled up awaiting additional responses from the appealing taxpayers. “In order that any question involved in an appeal may be brought clearly before the board it is necessary that the rules of practice be allowed,” said the chairman. ‘The requirements of the statutes are such that it is the duty of the board to make a report in writing of its findings of fact and a decision in each case. Its findings un der the act shall be prima facie e dence of the facts therein stated in any proceeding in court. “In order that this duty may be performed it is necessary that the is- sues be clearly defined and that the facts upon which the taxpayer relies are clearly and concisely eet forth. A fiumber of the so-called appeals which have been filed with the board are nothing more’ than mere notices cf an appeal without statements of a single fact or proposition of law re- lied upon. Others merely set forth a bccm-lunlnn #6 the effect that the tax liability as determined by the bureau is erroneous. It is impossible there- fore for the board to pass upon ques- tions involved in such cases unlees the rules are complied with and the board fully informed of all propositions of law and facts." } DESERVE | LUGY PAGE GASTON VICTIM OF CANCER Woman Who Raided Saloons and Gambling Dens Dies in Chicago y The Associated Press. L Chicage, Aug, 20.~Miss Lucy Page Gaston, founder of the National Anti- | O died today n a rette League, Hinredale hospital, Death was caused by cancer of the throat, Miss Gastof® was injured in a street car aceident several months ago, Phy- sicians were unocertain to what extent her injuries contributed to her death, Sihe was conscious until half an hour before she died, She was born in 1560 at Delaware, Ohio and her carcer as a reformer began while she was attending the Iinois state normal school, Her par- ents had removed from Ohio to La- con, 1L, During her carcer she had led raids on saloons, gambling resorts and el- garette establishments, Undaunted by ridicule which often wmet her efforts, Miss Gaston was the drch enemy of tobacco for more than A quarter of & century as superintend- ent of the organizalion which she founded. In spite of her admission that smoking-#mong women and boys on the increi she ontinued her efforts, She sent a letter to President Hard- ing asking him to quit smoking clga- rettes and made a similar request of other nationally known persons. During the war when relatives and triends were snpplying soldiers with cigarettes she never relaxed her ef- forts in ‘spite of appeals made in the name of patriotism. She was first associated with the late Frances Willard in (he organiza- tion of Women's Christian Temper- ance Union. She had edited the “C{tizen,"” and later the "Boy Patriot,” among reform journals. Her aggres- sive spirit sometimes ended In clashes with her organization. When the Kansas branch of the national anti-cigarette league objected to pub- [ lication of a magazine there, she re- signed as superintendent of the league but her resignation was not accepted. In 1920 she filed petitions for the republican presidential nomination in the South Dakota primaries. VETERAN OF WORLD WAR IS KNOWN AT LAST Had Ban Back Home Three Times Secking Rocognitien Which Finally Came Menasha, Wis, Aug. 20.—Report- ed dead in the world war and listed as buried on the battlefield of Chateau Thierry, Urban Bergeron, shell shocked and battle scarred veteran of the world war, who returned to his home threé times and was not rec- ognized, today is ‘pack at the home fireside, while his family rejoices. In Oakhill cemetery here lies the body of an unknown soldier, brought from France ay that of Bergeron, as one bf Menasha's soldier dead. Bergeron came back home, heard the talk of his gloMous death in France, viewed his grave, sought rec- ognition and went away distllusioned. He came months later and again he failed, chiefly through his faflure to demand that he be heard. On his third attempt, he stood he- for hs home, hut there was no rec- ognition. - As his car sped away, ine stinct told his mother she had been gazing on the face of her som, changed by the ravages of war. She called aft- er him- but he was gone. A search of months followed ead he was found in New Orleans. Now, ill from his wounds, Bergeron seeks a recovery, while doctors say can only come through the sympathy and care by his folks at home, GAME POSTPONED. Philadelphia, Aug. 20.—§t.

American Cyanamid Co. earned $¥5.48-a share on the common stock in the year ended June 30 after pro- viding for preferred dividends, Net income was $1,555,5613. Tn the previ- ous year $25.38 a share was earned on the common, Group movements have been one of the most interesting features of re- cent stock market seasions. Specu- lative iInterest has shifted from one group to another and frequently some groups would be advancing while others were reacting, but rarely have there been opposing movements on important stocks within the same group. A notable exception, however, is the Pan-American issues which have displayed strength while other oils were heavy, but this probably due’to rumors of important develop- ments affecting the Doheny interests. Coppers and shippings the first to discount the expected benefit - from the adoption of the Dawes plan. Mail Order and Farm Implement stocks have advanced in reflection of higher grain prices which mean increased purchasing power for the farmer. Textiles, leathers and rubbers have responded to higher commodity prices. Public utilities have been strong on reports of in- creased earnings and super-power de- velopment plans. 2 ANERIGANS SEEDED AS ARE FORFIGNERS, Tennis Stars Ready for National Championship Monday have been New York, Aug. 20.—Eight Ameri- can and eight foreign tennis stars were seeded today among the 82 players drawn by the United States lawi icnnis association for the na- | tional singles championship, starting next Monday at Forest Hills.
