April 23 Whether Think Pugilist Was Slain for Fighting Fair Check Theory Boxer Met Death for Refusal to Be "Fixed" CHICAGO, April 23 Police Thursday were asked to investigate reports that the recent slaying of Andre Anderson, pugilist and wrestler resulted from his refusal to "throw" a boxing match to Wayne "'Big" Munn in Kansas City Dec. 23. The pugilist, whose real name was Fred Boeseueilers, was shot to death in a Cicero roadhouse. A coroner's jury found that he had been killed by a bullet fired by Leo Mongovern.

The verdict of the coroner's jury was that Mongovern had fired without excuse, although several of the 10 witnesses testified that Boeseneil-ers fired first from a small, circular, compass-like device held in the palm of his hand. Mongovern was pictured in the report to the police as the "fixer" who never let Boesneilcrs out of sight, and who finally killed him through anger at the boxer's refusal to He knocked out Munn in the first round of their contest.

An executive meeting of the House agricultural committee broke up in a row Thursday night when Chairman Hau-gen wanted to withdraw from his farm relief bill the equalization fee on crops, the chief financial feature of the corn belt plan for stabilizing prices. A motion to "defer for two years," the fee which the bill proposed to levy on wheat, corn, hogs and cattle, was made by Representative Andersen, Republican, Minnesota, and concurred In by the chairman. An uproar followed that could be heard in distant corridors of the House office building, and adjournment was voted in the interest of peace. The motion will be disposed of Friday.

Fists Pounded During the argument members advanced threateningly toward one another, fists were pounded on tables, and a babel of voices was raised. Representative Williams. Republi- lllinois. declared that Mr. Hau- that the administration opposed it.

and he wanted to see "some sort of farm relief legislation pass Congress." Meanwhile, representatives of middle-western farm organizations waiting in an ante room were appealed to by a member of the committee, who. slipping out of the committee room, asked whether they would "stand for" dropping the fee. A lively argument with the delegation followed, and it had not been settled when the committee adjourned.

C. C. of Water TO REORGANIZE BODY BY DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright 1926, The Decatur Herald) WASHINGTON April 23 Promises to exercise a regulatory power in handling ocean freight rates probably will accompany the acceptance' by the shipping board of the bid made by the Dollar lines for the remaining ships in the trans-Pacific trade to be sold by the American Government. There is still some opposition to the bid made by the Dollar lines even though it ws the highest offered. Some of the lumbermen of the Northwest who think the Dollar lines might be inclined to favor their own lumber Interests in the matter of transportation rates have been discussing the possible sale to the Dollar lines as giving that organization a monopoly of American-owned lines on the Pacific coast.

To offset this the suggestion has been made that any rates made would still be subject to revision on an equitable basis if shippers applied to the shipping board for relief. Indeed, the thought of many people here for some time has been that ultimately as the Government withdrew from the ocean transportation business, the shipping board would take its place as a regulatory body handling rates very much in the manner of the interstate commerce commission in its relations to the railroads. Coolidge Has Upper Hand Important changes in policy are inevitable in the shipping board especially as President Coolidge now appears to have the upper hand in the matter of personnel. For a time his policies were opposed by men unsympathetic with his program and he believed Congress would give him the necessary legislation to change the whole scheme of things in the ship- ping board. Congress however has declined to change the present method of sectional representation which guides the President in making appointments, in fact the tendency has been so pronounced that Mr.

Coolidge has been compelled openly to recognize sectional representation in appointments he promises to make to the interstate commerce commission. Feeling, therefore, that the present system is to be retained, Mr. Coolidge is endeavoring to make the best of it by picking men who will follow out his policies. At present P. S.

Teller of California, T. V. O'Connor of Western New York. W. S.

Hill of South Dakota, all of whom are Republicans, and J. H. Walsh, of Louisiana, Democrat, are regarded as entirely favorable to the president's program while the two independents on the board are E. C. Plummer of Maine, Republican, and W.

S. Benson of Georgia, Democrat. There is one place made vacant by the resignation of Commissioner Hancy, Democrat of Oregon, and this goes to the Pacific Northwest. Undoubtedly Mr. Coolidge will wish to add another man to the group on which lie can depend upon to vote as a unit.

Another step in connection with the proposed re-organization of the board will, come soon when a chair nnn i nintaH Mr- n'Cn. IK at present chairman and there talk of having Mr. O'Connor whose term expires on June 15th re-appointed to the board but a rotating system of chairman started. Mr. Toller of San Francisco is slated to be the first, chairman under the rotating plan with a different chairman appointed each year as with the interstate commerce commission and the Federal trade Commission.

This step is by no means certain to bo taken but President Coolidge is giving serious consideration to it. I.ir.i.iw kast CHICAGO, April 23. Lillian Gisli, motion star, left for the Kast Thursday to sail from New York for Kng-hind. where her mother has been stricken with paralysis. ford.

April 23. A mayor, a temperance leader, a former bartender, and a couple of United States senators were the principal characters in a swift moving' drama Thursday before the Senate prohibition committee. The lines ran the scale of denunciation, humor, pathos, opinion, and fact, and kept at high pitch for more than two hours the crowd which packed the hearing room.

Ilecel Central Figure The central figure again was Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, who clashed with his colleagues time and again, vigorously cross examined witnesses and characterized as "fanatics and fools" those who laughed at his declaration that he was not on either side in the wet and dry controversy. Another figure bulking large in the proceedings was Mayor Dever of Chicago, who appeared at his own request to refute what he regarded a3 aspersions cast upon the Chicag'o police by United States District Attorney Olson of Chicago in testimony before the committee. Accused of Bullyragging E. C. Dinwiddie, superintendent of the National Temperance Bureau assailed the wets for proposing to bring back light wines and beers, and engaged in a verbal sparring match with Senator Reed qyi the proposition that the legal sale would improve moral conditions.

At one point in the exchange. Chairman Harreld accused Senator Reed of "bully ragging'' the witness, and the Missourian replied that he had been more polite "to this witness than you are to me now."

Pat Murphy, postmaster at Up, who said he was sorry to confess be began selling liquor in a "blind tiger" at the age of 8. Mayor Dever, who will return to the witness stand Friday, declared Chicago had been maligned twice before Senate committees within a few months, and that he was on hand to vindicate it if he could. Knp At Olson Turning to the claims of District Attorney Olson that the Federal forces closed up the Chicago brew eries.

Mr. Dever declared that when he first asked co-operation of Government officials he did not receive a satisfactory reply, and got assistance only when he threatened to lay ail the facts "on President Coolidge's desk" and ask for aid. Flatly denying Olson's statement that the district attorney's office closed the breweries. Mayor Dever said he had put police in the breweries and closed them up. and that the district attorney padlocked on evidence presented by the Chicago police.

Not An Uas.v Job The mayor also hotly denied Olson's statement that there were stills known to the police in every precinct in Chicag'o, and that it would not be difficult for 5.000 polic -men to "pull them out by the roots." Going into a recital of the "deplorable" conditions he found in Chicago when he became mayor in 1923 and telling of his efforts to clean up the town. Mayor Dever demanded to know if the committee thought, the city officials would "sell out the city to bootleggers and beer runners."

WILL RESUME DEBT PARLEY French Ambassador Empowered to Make a Settlement (Bv Associated Press) WASHINGTON. April 23 The American debt commission will resume negotiations Friday with France for a funding of Its debt, with a motion pending in the Senate to re consider its ratification Wednesday of the Italian agreement.
