Broad was piling.r up a * bl! load on points in the early part of the round and then he would ease up and wait for the bell. The fourth round was Smith's last. He seemed to be very tired and the crowd yelled for. Broad to knock him out. Smith was cagsy enough to ward off Broad. Both boxers were tiring fast at thrs point.

Tile sec- onds pulled Smith off the ropes and carried him to the other side of the ring. They slide him undet- the ropes and took him to the dressing roam. Smith was apparently uncon. scious all the time. 'Dr. Rodney W. Howell. the club's physician. was called to the dressing room. When the doctor came book he said he examined Smith. but found no bones broken. Tile physi- clan believed that. Smith was out- ‘ faring from exhaustion.

Feb. 9. (AM—"Tho German government must decline to reply to Premier Mussolini in a tone which is better suited to mass meet- ings than to diplomatic convent!» tions with other nations." Foreign Minister Strcscmann made this declaration in the Reichtag to- day in opening his reply to Satur- day‘s broadside from the Italians Premier regarding the situation in south ’i‘yroi. “We have no quarrels with the Italian people. who. according to Mussolini's own words. written in 1920. have no interest incompatible with the Germans." Dr. Slrcscmann continued. "Germah-ltaiian difficulties. as Mussolini then stated. always were due to misunderstanding and Min trust—conditions of mind. rather than conflicting economic of politi- cal interest." ' VIENNA.

Against Compulsion. -. “To these appeals the Catholic Church cannot accede. .Voluntary to- tal abstinence she applauds. as in the case of a. strong self-willed man who ronounces fermented liquor for the sake of a wank-willed brother. "But compulsory universal prohi- bition is a different thing. For com- pulsory prohibition in general is flat- ly opposed to Holy Scripture and to Catholic tradition. Moreover. it is grossly untrue to say that pathology and diotettcs have brought in a ver- dict of guilty against the lmmemor- ial beverages of the world. "Although it has been made clear a thousand times that we will work with our separate brethren as tem- perance men. but will not as the tools of hose whose confessed policy is W0 d wide prohibition by install- ments. disloynl attempts are still be- ing made to entangle us. Wants "Clean Fight" "The real moral issue is illc‘ctcr- nal issue of liberty. upon which pro- hibition stamps as though it were u reptile to be destroyed. Catholic work for temperance will go on Just as it has gone on for 1900 years. but the extent to which we can go as Catholics in association with others must depend upon their willngness to run straight and fight clean." Senator Bingham in conlbatting efforts to make search and seizure processes easier for law enforccmnt officials said: "if i may paraphrase the words of our distinguished President. I believe that it does not follow that 'because abuses exist it is the con- cern of the Congress to attempt their reforms in such a way as to drive a citizen of his rights when he has done no wrong; and when no one can either swear or affirm that there is probable cause for search. and that in the interests of Justice he deserves to be seized and his house and papers searched." "The constitution has assured the right of the people to be secure in their persons. houses. papers and effects against unreasonable search- es and seizures.” He added that “the constitution promises that these rights shall not be violated and that no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation. it seems to me. that there is a tendency: to forget this part of our constitutional bill of rights.” “There are some who believe that under nionnrchlcs. obligttrchim or autocrnclcs. It seems to me that they have failed to read history. Even Plato observing the action of the Greek republics was led to affirm that ‘tyrnnny springs from demo— cracy'cvcn though the citizens of a democracy are at the time uncon- scious of it. Let it not be said of us. Mr. President. that our zeal led us to sacrifice the liberties. the com. forts and the happiness of then- sands of innocent citizens. whose do. sire is to self-reliant. to mind their own business. to lead their own lives without interfering in the slightest degree with the liberty of others to do the some."
