During the first six rounds, it didn't seem to tho United Press correspondent that Dempsey was striking low as he had been claimed by some at the ringside.

Sharkey was facing the camera and he and Dempsey came together, swapping punches. It seemed that Dempsey reached out with his left and drove it into Sharkey's groin. A few seconds later they came together again and almost exactly the same thing happened.

Sharkey's hands were at his sides. When he was hit he looked up plainly in protest. His face, however, did not show pain. Then, almost instantly, came the left to the jaw which floored him. Here is how the fight experts sized up the blow that preceded that left to the jaw which put Sharkey down and out: "It Was Foul" Joe Williams and George Underwood, Evening Telegram Wilbur Wood, Sun; Sam Taub, Morning Telegraph; Bill Coram, Evening Journal; Benny Leonard, former lightweight champion; Grantland Rice, Herald-Tribune; W.

closely allied Republican advisors over whether there should be an extra session of Congress about October 15 for enacting flood relief legislation. The affair started in Washington when Chairman Smoot of the Sen-ate'Finance Committee, announced after conferring with the President that Mr. Coolidge would summon Congress at that date. A few hours later Mr. Coolidge denied he had made up his mind on tho subject.

Now Secretary of Commerce Hoover and John O. Tilson, Republican floor leader in the House, have been drawn into the argument. Hoover favors the session and Til-rcn strongly opposes it. Both urged their opinions to the President during their recent visits here. Smoot who visited the President yesterday told the United Press he feared for the outcome of important legislation unless an extra session is called.

His taxation reduction program and special senatorial election contests are going to be thrown before Congress irti a deadlock on the opening day and this may jeopardize flood control measures which have not yet been framed.

I Smoot laid down a complete $300,000,000 tax reduction program which he will submit to his Finance Committee when it meets with the House Ways and Means Committee to plan the new tax bill. The Smoot I plan includes: One hundred and fifty million dollars reduction of corporations tax from 13 to 12 per cent, Thirty-seven million dollars elimination of taxes on theater admissions and club dues. Fifty million dollars reduction in passenger automobile taxes by cut ting present 3 per cent, rate to IVi per cent. General scaled reduction on income taxes between $15,000 and $60,000 a year.

Smoot expects to ect the bill through before March 15 in order to affect payments on this year's taxes. Schuylkill Controller Is Named by Governor Governor Fisher todav aDDointed William R. Adamson. of St. Nicholas, as conironer or schuvlkill County to succeed John E.
