L. } é BOXING ALL RIGHT: MENINIT WRONE, ASSERTS WHITMAN Governor Says the tical Is Now Up to the Legislature. Gov, Whitman ts not opposed to) boxing in itseif, but he hopes the Yagidetore will carry out the sug- Sestion he ‘made in a special mes- sage and repeal tho law under which Pablio boxing exhibitions are carried on. The sport of boxing is all right, but the men who surround it are not. The Governor said this to The Evening World to-day before leaving for Albany. He spent the night at the Hotel St. Regis. “Wolud it make any difference in your attitude if the present mom- bere of the State Athletic Commis- sion @hould resign?” he was asked. '"T don't see how it could affect the @ituation,” Gov. Whitman replied. “The whole environment of public boming te bad. That is the root of the trouble. Boxing itself is a healthy, manly eport, und properly conducted it dogs no harm. But the only way the business has been carried on here for the last few years is bad, ‘bad. There is a great deal more tality among the spectators than “I don't know what the Legislature will do. It is for that body to de- termine whether or not exhibitions shall be given under the present law, but for my part I am convinced that the boxing shows we have had for years tend to brutalize the com- munity and should be stopped. “If the present law is repealed it will make uo difference to amateur contests. Nor will it interfere with properly constituted athletic clubs giving boxing shows—always pro- vided that no admission feo is charged. There is the cause of the trouble—the giving of public bouts for money. “Young McDonald, who was killed Albany the other night, lost his fe in @ bout that was conducted agcording to law, so far as I have heard. course, I shall not anticl- pate the result of an investigation | thet is being made. But it ts bad, very bad, that boy can be killed in the ring, in conformity with law, and! the performance go right on to the! end of the programme. There must be something wrong with the law that fees Buch things hapen, It should be repealed. Gov. Whatman was asked if he favored the suggestion to enact « law iting betting at races under the Parti-Mutuel system. “J don't wee how any one can seri ly propose such thing,’ re Ripne Constitution of thix Stat S>rbids gambling.

WIFE AND THEN HIMSELF | Jealous BeCavineyeen Dying After Attempted Murder in Mother-in-Law’s Home. Using her two-year-old son, Nathan, as a shield, Mrs. Henry Weber dodged from room to room in the flat of her mother, Mra. Rose New- man, at No. 1382 Boston Road, the Bronx, to-day, while her husband crazed with jealousy and armed with a revolver, followed her with threats of murder. Finally Weber grabbed | the child, threw him on a bed and fired two shots at his wife. One bullet passed through her right arm, tho other penetrated her right #tde. Weber then fired two shots at him- self, aiming at his heart. One took effect. He 1s dying in Fordham Hos- pital, His wife, on an adjoining cot, Was unconscious this afternoon but the doctors say she will recover. Weber is an ex-cavalryman in the United States Army. He married! Sadie Newman four years ago. They separated two months ago, the wife, who is 24, going to live with her mother and instituting @ suit for sep- aration in the Bronx County Supreme Court. The deserted husband called sev eral times at the home of his moth in-law and his threats were so vi that doors were locked and barred keep him out. To-day at noon he en- tered Mrs. Newman's flat by crossing to the kitchen window on a fire escape from a vacant flat next door.
