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

Hearing Begun on Application
to Raise Minimum on Car
load Shipments.
MANY ARE INTERESTED
(Krom a Staff Correapondent.)
Lincoln, March 2. (Special.)
Hearing of the application of Ne
braska railroads to increase the mini
mum weight on carload shipments of
Hour within the state, the findings and
evidence in which case the Interstate
Commerce commission, will consider
in establishing an interstate minimum,
was begun before the Nebraska Rail
way commission this morning.
Representing the national commis
sion at the hearing was W. P. Bartcl,
an examiner. This is the first time
the Interstate Cbmmerce commission
haso-opcratcd with a state commis
sion in a question ot rates and taritt.
Roads Present Case.
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. The retail dealers were represented
by Cliff Crooks of Fairbury, and
others. J. W. Shofthill appears for
the co-operative elevators of the state.
Flour millers are represented by H.
E. Gooch of Lincoln, C. L. Aller of
Crete, Chauncey Abbott of Schuyler,
and others. B. . J. Drummond of
Omaha and others represented a half
a dozen alfalfa meal mills in Omaha
and over the state.
