George McManus LESDARCY BARRED FROM EMPIRE STATE Governor Whitman Objects to Putting a "Slacker" On a Pedestal STOPS BOUT WITH DILLON Albany, N. Y., March 2. Governor Whitman today directed the State Athletic commission to prohibit the boxing bout scheduled for Madison Square Garden, New York, on Mon day night between Les Darcy and Jack Dillon on the ground that Les Darcy is a "slacker," The commissioners were informed of the governor's decision by the ex ecutive himself in his private office. Grant Hugh Brown, manager of the corporation under whose auspices the bout was to have been held, also was notified, to give him an opportunity to provide a substitute for Les Darcy. , Governor Statement The governor outlined his position in the following statement: "I have directed the boxing com mission to forbid the holding of the so-called 'boxing exhibition' at Madi son Square Garden on Monday night. I am credibly informed that one Les Darcy has planned, or that his man agers have planned, that the fight con templated shall be what is commonly known as a 'light to the finish' or 'knockout.' "Les Darcy, so I am informed, is a runaway frdm his own country. In disguise and under an alias he left his native land (Australia) because he was afraid to fight in the Cause for which his fellow countrymen are sac rificing their lives. He prefer to give a brutal exhibition at some personal risk for a purse of $30,000. "I believe that the citizens of this state will support the governor in his mitted in New. York." , Barred from New York State, At the conclusion of the conference with the governor Chairman Fred A. Wcnck of the athletic commission said that Darcy would not be permit ted to participate in any boxing con test in this state. "The governor be lieves," Mr. Wenck said, "that as this country is on the verge of war it would be both unpatriotic and un seemly to place a man upon a pedestal who-jhas virtually deserted the mili tary service of a nation that will be our ally in the event of hostilities. This executive order is directed solely against Les Darcy and not against the boxing game," . .. . . , , , V Boone Is' Negotiating for Franchise in the Central sBobne, Iowa, March -(Special) Boone is negotiating for a franchise in the Central' Association, and the Chamber of Commerce last night in structed the secretary to confer with Jimmy Archer, formerly of the Boone Jowa State league team, to take a job as manager.

The,niorniiig was chiefly given over to testimony by freight agents of Ne braska roads, including the testimony of H. H. Holcomb of the Burlington and W. H. Jones of the Northwest ern. All the roads wer.e represented. The roads' want the minimum in creased from 24,000 to 40,000 pounds, which is the present interstate mini mum, ft is the contention ot the roads that cars are growing larger year by year, and that they should be loaded heavier as a matter of economy in transportation. The opposition, represented by grain and alfalfa millers and by re tailers, is taking the position that smaller dealers cannot handle the larger cars, since the capital would be too great and the storage facili ties would be lacking. Therefore thry would have to pay the less-than-car-load rates, a big increase over the present tariff. Many Make Request. ' The railway commission has re ceived over 100 communications from retailers protesting that the increase would increase the price of flour to them, and hence to the ultimate con summer.
