BENTON HARBOR. MICH., Aug. 28.
Billy Miske, the St. Paul heavyweight,
matched to meet Jack Dempsey in a
ten round championship contest here
Labor • day afternoon, declared today
that he has no fear of the knockout
punches the champion carries in either
hand.
Miske, who fought Dempsey twice
before the champion won the title,
surviving each encounter without even
being knocked down, impressed his ad-
mirers with the fact that he is bigger,
heavier and a better fighter than when
hr met Dempsey before.
The St. Paul challenger is proud of
the fact that he is the only boxed who
succeeded in facing Dempsey for ten
rounds without being knocked down
and is supremely confident that he
will be on his feet and fighting when
the final bell ends their meeting here
a week from Monday.
W hile frankly admitting the terrific
punching ability of the champion,
Miske asserted that Dempsey had wal-
loped him with his best, but that none
of the blows badly dazed him. The
St. Paul heavyweight said he would
carry the fight to Dempsey instead of
baking away and that he would match
his speed in boxing skill.
Miske and his sparring partners in-
vaded South Bend, Ind., for an exhibi-
tion this afternoon. Dempsey continued
to work at his camp on the outskirts
of the town.

More Than Hold His Own

A crisis in the fuel situation in Arkan-

to reporta to the Arkansas Corporation
Commission from leading firms and
corporations throughout the State. To
consider these complaints, T. E. Wood,
chairman of the cemmiasion. has noti-
fied all superintendents of railroads
IF HE HAD NOT PASSED HIS FORTY-SIXTH BIRTH-
DAY ON SEPTEMBKR 11, 1911 (the date set for registra-
tion), HE WAS SUBJECT TO THE DRAFT LAW.
Here la an excerpt from Section 3 of the Draft Act ap-
proved August 81st, 1918:
"Persons shall be subject to registration as herein pro-
vided. who shall have attained their eighteenth birthday and
who shall not have attained their forty-sixth birthday on or
before the day set for registration."
JF PAT NEFF WAS BORN ANY TIME AFTER SEPTEM-
BER 12,1872, HE WAS SUBJECT TO REGISTRATION AND
THE DRAFI!
HE DID NOT REGISTER!
Here is some of the evidence upon the issue of his age:
(1) The law requires the Tax Collector or his deputy to
swear a voter with respect to his age when he issues a poll
tax receipt. Here are true copies of Neffs poll tax receipts
issued December 31st, 1918, and January 10. 1930.

Received of Pat M. Neff on the 31st day of December.
A. D. 1918, the sum of one and 75-100 dollars in payment of
poll tax for the year A. D. 1918.
The said taxpayer, being duly sworn by me. says he is
46 years old: that he resides in voting precinct No. 1, in M©-
Lennan County; that his race is white; that he has resided in
Texas forty-six years: that he is by occupation lawyer; that
he resides at No. 2110 on Austin street in the second ward
and has resided in the city of Waco for the past twenty-five
years. All of which I certify.

LEE R. DAVIS. Tax Collector,
(Beal) By I- OLIVER. Deputy.
THE STATE OF TEXAS.
County of McLennan.
Before me, the undersigned authority, on this day per-
sonally appeared Warren Wood Hunt, who on oath says,
that he is a resident citizen of Waco. McLennan County, Tex-
as. and was formerly official court reporter for the Fifty-
fourth Judicial District of McLennan County, Texas; that he
personally made an examination of the poll tax records of
McLennan County in the Tax Collector's office showing the
poll taxes paid as assessed for the year 1919; that he made
a copy of said records as to the poll tax receipt of Pat M.
Neff as shown by said record.
' WARREN WOOD HUNT
Sworn to and subscribed to before me, this 31st day of
August, A. D. 1920 NORA DAMERON,
Notary Public In and for McLennan County, Texas.
The above shows that on January 10th. 1926. Neff swore
that he was then 47 years of age. His nearest birthday was
November 14th, 1919. and If the affidavit is correct it would
fix his birth date as November 26th. 1872.
(1) During February, 1920. Neff circulated at Hillsboro a
campaign card On one side of this card appeared his plc-'
tore and the following: "Pat M Neff, of Waco, Texas, can-
didate for Governor, subject to Democratic Primary July,
1920. Over." On the other aide of the card was a personal
sketch, the opening sentence of which roads as follows:
•pat M Neff 18 A NATIVE TEXAN, 47 YEARS OF AGE."
Neffs nearest birthday to the distribution of this card was
November 26th 1919. If he became 47 years old on Novem-
ber 26th, 1919. HE WAR BORN NOVEMBER 16th, 1878! RE-
MEMBER. this was Neffs own statement.
(8) In the yearbook of Texas published in 1908 by the
Librarian of Texas. Honorable C. W. Rains, appears the fol-
lowing statement: .. . ____/
-Pat M. Neff was born near MeGregor on November 26th,
197"ndoubtedly this date was furnished by Neff
(4) on page 106L Volume II. of WHO'S WHO IN
AMERICA.” 1910-1911 EDITION, appears a character sketch
of Mr Neff. The publishers of this book declare that
“Sketches for Who’s Who in America are prepared from
first-hand material only ” As a matter of fact, the material
is furnished by the subjects of the sketches themselves. In
said sketch it is said:
“Neff, Pat Morrim, Lawyer, horn MeGregor, Texan, No-
vember 26th, 1872, ete."
(6) W.A, Fraser a high officer of the Sovereign Camp
of Woodmen of the World of America, and a supporter of
Neff. Omaha. Nebraska, wired a member of a Woodman
lodge in Texas August list. 1910, as follows:
“Neff born TI Polley insued 1900. Hope bo will be your
next Governor."
....31 1 6 24 13 1
7
.This means that Mr. Neffs application for a Woodman
policy and for membership in the lodge states his birth date
as being November 26th, 1172. The telegram was in response
to telegraphic inquiry as to what the Woodman records show
about Neff's age.
(9) MARTINDALE'S AMERICAN LAWYERS’ DIREC-
TORY is an annual publication in general use by the lawyers
of the United States, and each volume contains a brief his-
. tory of each lawyer. The data for this publication is gotten
firstrhand, and whenever there is a change in the law part-
nership the publishers cal} upon the particular lawyers af-
fected for correct data. The volumes of this publication can
be seen in almost any lawyer’s office; they have been ex-
amined for the period of 1916 to 1920 and each year Neff is
shown to have been born in-1872. Neff has had constant
access to these volumes all these years and if the data about
him was incorrect he should have had it corrected.
(7) The Legislative Records during the period of Neff’s
membership shows his age. The Manual for 1961 states his
age as being 38 years at that time. His birthday nearest to
the publication of this manual was November 24th. 1900.
This fixes his birth date as November 26th, 1871. The man-
ual for 1903 shows his age then as being 30 years. His birth-
day nearest to the publication of this Manual was Novem-
ber 26th, 1963, and this fixed his birth date as being Novem-
ber 26th, 1871. The data for thane official records was fur-
nished by the various members of the Legislature. Neff was
a member of the House in 1901 and was Speaker of the
House in 1901 and it was a part of his official duties to see
to it that the records were correctly kept
(8) Congressman Tom Connally was a member of the
House when Neff was elected Speaker. In a speech support-
ing Neffs nomination for Speaker in 1901. Mr. Connally said:
"It is hardly necessary to apeak of his service. YOU KNOW .
HOW HE .ENTERED HERE AT THE AGE OF TWENTY-
SIX, etc., etc.” See page 6.Hoyse Journal. 28th Legislature.
Regular Session. Neff "ENTIIED HERE” in January, 1899.
The birthday nearest to his entry into the Legislature was
November 36th. 1898, and this fixed his birth date as No-
vember 16th, 1171. Neff, undoubtedly, would have corrected
Mr. Connally if an erroneous statement had been made!
(9) In the issue of January 14,'1961. The Dallas News
reported Neffs election as Speaker of the House and gave
a biographical sketch. Among other things. It said: PAT
M NEFF WAS BORN AT McGregor, Texas, Nov. 16th, 1872."
Neff, in his recent speeches, has repeatedly said that the
Dallas News is correct In its reports.
(10) Every man and women who has attended the State
University will remember that he or she was compelled to
fill out a detailed report of his or her family history at the
time of matriculation and file the same. Neff attended the
University and in his report stated his birth date as being
November 26th, 1871. .
MIND YOU All of the above evidence came into evi-
dence through a series of years and under circumstances
when there was no motive to make incorrect statements and
is, therefore, entitled to credibility. Some of it was made
under circumstances constituting a violation of the statutes
of Texas if it were false; and the rest of it was made when
it was of importance for it to be correct.
Neff now says that he was born November 16th, 1871,
and relies upon an alleged entry in a Bible to substantiate
his statement According to Neff his Bible has been in the
family for "seventy-five years,” but according to the Dallas
News of August 12nd, 1920, “the date in the front of the book
(Bible) shows it was printed in 1167.” only fifty-three years
ago. In this connection The News of August 22nd, 1910. con-
tains an affidavit showing entries in this book PRINTED IN
1867. as follows: Marriage of Noah Neff and Elisabeth Shep-

1864; birth of David Neff, Oct. 18. 1866 The last of these
events happened one year and the first happened thirteen
years before the book itself was printed! This circumstance,
under the rules of evidence, would exclude the book from
evidence in a court of justice unless the. circumstances was
further and properly explained And before it could be of-
fered In evidence in a court of justice the person, or persona,
interested in diaputing its accuracy would have the right to
Inspect It for evidence of alterations. With respect to the
credibility to be given Bible entries when a man's age is in
question the court in the case of St. L 8. W. Ry. Co. vs.
Bowles, 71 S. W. 454. said; , , , ..
"It is insisted that in proving age the record of births in
the family Bibi© ia the beat evidence Such record is hearsay
IT IS NOT THE BEST EVIDENCE. ” And why It is not the
“best evidence” everybody who gives the matter thought
will understand
if the facts stated in Neffs oaths before the tax collector
are correct; if the facts stated in the other records are cor-
rect, then, without question, Neff had not reached his forty-
pixth birthday on Sept. 13th, 1918, and it Was his duty to reg-
■star.
If th. fact, were incorrectly stateg by Nett when he took
th. oatha before the tea collector, and if he knew they were
inseraret, then another "erlous criminal ottense wai com*
mittfPNerr thought he wan etatine the real facte In hi. oatha
before the tax collector, and in hie campaign carda. and eln-
where, than without question, at the time for rexintration in

The conclusion is irresistible that Neff was either not
forty-ala years old Sept 11th, 1(1*. or he thouzht he wss nol
forty-sis years old oa that date. If this conelunion is cor-
rect. then Neff either violatea the draft law (tn the event

was escaping the draft in violation of law (In the event Iha
