[By H. C. Hamilton, United Press Staff Correspondent.] NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The willing ness with which this country has re sponded to the French need for re lief fundB probably, will have a strong effect In putting ovdr €he proposed bout in New York between Jesss Williard and Georges Carpentier. Tex Rickard, promoter of the bout, said today he had received strong assur ances that ..Carpentier will be given a month's furlough from the army provided his share of the purse and a'sum stated by Rickard and Mc Cracken is turned into the French war relief fund. Miss Anne Morgan, treasurer of the fund, and Miss Elizabeth Marbury said they have agreed to take charge of money collected for the fund through the bout,' and Miss Morgan has guaranteed a bond of $150,000 for the safe return to France of the soldier boxer. Carpentier, in a con tract, which should be in his hands within a few days, has guaranteed the sup of 100,000 francs ($20,000) and in addition will receive $2,000, for training and traveling expenses. He is" expected to arrive ift New York about-December 31, provided he is given permission to make the trip. Rickard tackled an exceedingly troublesome matter when he began to plan for Carpentier's first appearance in the United States. He found it would be practical impossible for him unaided to^frevail upon the French government for the soldier boxer's release.' It was necessary for him to tie up negotiations through the American fund for the French wounded and he found persons con nected with this iVi a receptive mood. Miss Morgan and Miss Marbury ad mitted they were apprised of the pro ceedings several weeks ago and agreed to take charge-of Carpen tier's share. This will be turnedT over to relief work in France where, they said, it is badly needed. Rickard has received tentative (agreements from both WiHard and Carpentier to enter the rfng. Willard has given his word to meet any opponent which may be, selected for him by Rickard, provided nent is not black. demand at least $50,000 for his share, but Rickard never has been known hs a piker, It is more than probable his terms will be met without a quiver.

Abolishing a Legislature. Canova, S. D., Herald: With R'. E. Dowdeli elected to the state senate we can look for some real action started towards abolishing the state legislature and substituting in its stead a commission of ten or twelve men to make the laws. The Herald has always favored such a change and we sincerely hope that our illus trious senator will succeed in getting something started along tih&t (line. Everyone will admit that our legis lature in its present form Is clumsy and inefficient. We send men to the legislature who have had no experi ence and expect them to make sen-! every two years, sible laws^ in two months' time, and' then two years later we send up a new bunch to do the same thing overj again. The result is that we have such bungled up laws that even a Philadelphia lawyer can't figure theml out.
