WALL STREET BEHIND LEAGUE BORAH CHARGES

Says Business Men Are Mem

bers of Organization Supporting Covenant. WASHINGTON, July 1. Debate on the league of nations flared up again in the senate Monday and reached a climax in the declaration of Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, that Thomas W. Lamont, representing the Morgan interests, had purchased the New York Evening Post for the purpose of using it in connection with propaganda in favor of the league. Senator Borah declared that before the debate on the treaty of peace was ended he would Bhow that big financial interests are in conclave to exploit the natural resources of Europe and have the United States underwrite the investment. Sees Business Support "The mask of hypocrisy will be torn off," he said, "and even the sacred name of a former president can not be used to protect the men who propose to sell out this country. Previous to Senator Borah's ppeech, Senator Garry. Democrat, of Rhode Island, spoke in support of the league and Senator Fall, Republican, of New Mexico, delivered a speech against it. Senator Borah read from a publication of the League to Enforce Peace a statement that three-fourths of the contributions to that organizaion came from business men and said that while the name of Kuhn, Loeb & company was not among the concerns mentioned, he had evidence that it should be there.

Here Are Four Men Who Will Give Decisions in Championship Battle

Connersville Boy Kills Self In Despondency OXFORD, O.. July 1 Russell Sands, 20 years old, of Connersville, Ind., employed on the George Prlfogle farm eight miles west of here, in Franklin county, Ind.. committed suicide Monday by discharging a shotgun in bis mouth. He is said to have been despondent for several weeks, and to have repeatedly threatened to kill himself. For these reasons the Prifogles kept their shotgun hidden. Yesterday Sands entered the house, leaving his employer at work in the field. He asked Mrs. Prlfogle where he could find the gun, and when she refused to tell him. he searched for it until he found it. Then he started upstairs to his room, mumbling incoherently to himself. Mrs. Prifogle and her nine-year-old daughter followed, pleading with him not to do anything rash, but their entreaties were in vain. He blew off his head in their presence.

Next to Williard and Denipsey, the busiest gent in the U. S. A. July Fourth will be Ollie Pecord. Pecord will be the third man in the ring at the big melee. While the army, navy and civilian board of boxing control named Maj. A. J. DrexelBiddle and Tex Rickard as judges to assist Pecord, he will have complete charge in the ring, and it will be up to him to make the men obey the rules and fight, if there is a tendency on the part of either man to fiddle

club in the Southern association in 1S93 and Toledo club of the old Western league in 1894. The next year he played with two clubs in the ThreeI league, the ones at Rock Island and Galesburg. It was at Williston, O., in 1894, that he refereed his first fight. The fighters met for a side bet of $250 and 75 and 25 per cent of the receipts. He estimates that he has refereed about 400 fights since that time. Back in the old days Pecord carried a revolver for use in emergencies should the crowd or fighters turn on him. When the Toledo boxing commission was organized about fifteen months ago he was named official referee and has been the third man In the ring in all the contests staged in Toledo since then. Last winter the Toledo commission decided to conduct shows for charity and Pecord donated his services as his part of the plan. Physically, Pecord is not a large man. He is five feet eight inches tall and weighs about 175 pounds. This means that Dempsey will be three and a half inches taller and about fifteen pounds heavier, and Willard will be eleven inches taller and about seventy pounds heavier. This means that Pecord will have a couple of men much bigger than himself to handle. Major Biddle Ring Fan Major Biddle is a member of an old and very wealthy Philadelphia family. He has been an ardent supporter of amateur athletics for many years and at one time was said to be one of the cleverest amateur boxers in the country. Some years ago he had a gymnasium built at his Philadelphia home. "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien, famous middleweight fighter, was engaged to teach him boxing and Biddle took lessons daily. It was stated at the time that he also invited other leading professional boxers of repute to stage friendly little settos with him in his gym.

Biddle served in the war and since the armistice was signed has devoted considerable time in trying to place boxing on a clean basis. He organized the army and navy board of boxing control and sought government recognition of it. Although Rickard has been connect

ed with the ring game for many years his experience as an official in the fighting end of the game is very limited. The only bout of importance he ever refereed was the fizzle between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries. As all know, there was little need for a referee's services in that battle. Ric

kard did not want to serve as Judge in the coming battle, but consented to serve at Willard's request. Willard had hoped that Rickard would be named referee. Jack Skelly is a veteran boxer and ring official. He is sporting editor of the Yonkers, N. Y., Herald.

(By Associated Press) LOUISVILLE, July 1. Louisville people who in past years greeted the barkeep coming and going to work apparently were downcast today as they passed former drinking establishments closed at midnight last night by wartime prohibition. Notwithstanding the enormous amount of whisky sales in the past week, Kentucky liquor dealers today claimed to have a surplus of forty million gallons. How to dispose of this, they say, is undetermined. Louisville joined the nation last night in paying last respects to John Barleycorn. Thousands of enthusiastic revelers overcrowding 400 saloons and several score rathskellers, drinking gardens, hotels and roadhouses today, although sorry, claimed they had the "time of their life," hundreds of persons from Indiana, which previously was "dry" crossed the Ohio river and helped in the celebration. Only forty demonstrants were arrested the police said. Meanwhile saloon and other liquor dealers declared it the busiest night and. day in history, many disposing of entire stocks. No saloon dealer would say today whether he would reopen for business. However, many of the hotels and roadhouses opened up as soft drink emporiums.
