COMPENSATION FOR
DISABLED VETERANS
RAISED BY ROOSEVELT:
I
I WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 7,—
i President Roosevelt struck boldly
to allay a Congressional revolt
against drastic veterans economies
signing an executive order raising
compensation for war disabled vet
erans above the levels of the origi
nal economy program.
Under the new regulations no
directly service connected veetrans
compensation will be reduced by
more than 25 per cent and the
average reduction will approxi
mate 18 per cent.
This regulation applies not onlyi
to veterans of the World and
Spanish-American wars but also
with directly connecting disabili
ties to peace time veterans who
served with an expeditionary force
in such campaigns as Nicaragua,
China, Russia or Haiti and who
have incurred injuries or disease!
in line of duty.
SPECTACULAR GAINS
COMMODITY SHARES
NEW YORK MARKET
—
NEW YORK, June 7, —Spectacu
lar new gains in commodity shares
with Postal Telegraph preferred,
spurting six points more to the
top, were outstandng in a further
advance in the stock market.
With Western Union and Postal
booming, stocks and bonds met
additional heavy demand to gain
new highs. The rest of the list
was stimulated by new gains in
bosiness and the new rise in car
loadings last week.
Gains were more limited, howev
er, and some of the leaders wbre
sluggish as they were forced to
absorb heavy profit taking.
Speculative bonds showed fur
ther gains; cotton and silver were
easy in commodities, while grains
ad others tended to improve. Trad
ing in stocks continued at a fur-;
ious pace which sent the ticker j
trailing as much as 7 minutes.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7,—
The Senate banking and currency!

ners which might have involved
tax invasion.
Meanwhile, public hearings on I
personal tax matters was ordered)
postponed for the present.
No Morgan partner was brought j
to the witness stand yesterday to |
answer questions about his tax re- [
turn.
FINAL APPEAL
GENEVA, June 7, —Having del
ivered a final appeal to the dis-;

fensive” against France tomorrow.
The SS Starr was reported due

GUIHS MIX BIER IS
I FOUL DIRTY FIGHTER
NEW YORK, June 7, —Contend
ing that Max Baer is a foul fight
er, Joe Jacobs announced he will
do everything in his power to pro
tect Max Schmeling against low
punches tomorrow night.
Jacob’s announcement came af
ter Schmeling’s final workout andi
he will go before the New York1;
boxing commission to request a
ruling whereby Baer or Schmeling
will pay a fine of $5,000 for each
low punch, the money to go to
charity.
This move by Jacobs is based on
pictures of Baer's fight with King
Levinsky last July 4 as well as aj
letter from Levinsky. The pictures:
show Baer landing low punches,'
according to Jacobs, while Levin- j
sky’s letter describes Baer as a foul
fighter. Baer denies it.
The commission does not recog-j
nize fouls. Baer, for instance could
score a kockdown with a punch
below the belt. But the commis
sion ruling is that a fighter who
commits a foul loses the round in
which it is committed. As Jacob’s
request is without precedent the
commission may not take any ac-i
tion on it.
