Willie Meehan's fight with Jack
Dempsey in Newark. N. J., in Decem
ber is still decidedly up in the air.
It is the same old trouble with the
Kan Francisco fat boy. He has about
three dozen wouIO be managers and
all of them rush around with seem
lnprly full authority.
Meehan recently announced that
Dem (Jay, the well-known Reno
sportsmen would be hts honest-to-Roodnens
manager and that the latter
has faithfully promised him to land
a match with Dempsey. About a week
later Gay arranged a match with Bill
Larue for Meehan and then Willi
raised a howl to the skies. He said
that he was off of Gay and that the
Nevada sportsman was only author
ized to get a match with Dempsey for
him. It seems that Gay had a written
contract and under a threat of dire
punishment was forced to hand it
back to Meehan one dark night.
Dave Mackay of the Newark Sports
men's club is the one who has been
dickering with Jack Kearns, the
champion's manager and has obtained
the latter's word that Dempsey will
box for him in an eight-round bout
on or about December 8.
Meehan Haa Indian Sie-n.
As Meehan holds two decisions
over Dempsey and has the Indian
sign on the titleholder naturally he
was the opponent suggested despite
that fact that he has been beaten by
mediocre boys on the Pacific coast
the past few months. Back east they
don't hear all about his bauts with
Ole Anderson and Bill Larue and no
doubt would fall hard for tho bout.
This fellow Mackay, who is match
maker of the Newark Sportsmen'
club is evidently like the general run
of boxing managers and matchmakers
and is out for all tho "bees and
honey" he can garner. As soon as
Kearns and he got talking over
Meehan, Mackay telegraphed Willie
nt onco dealing- directly with him
figuring to make the manager's cut
of 2i per cent or more as well as his J
end as the promoter, which probably
would not be much, figuring the
amount ho will have to fork over to
Dempsey. Meehan fell for Mackay
and jumped at the chance for the
bout. Later Dem Gay and a few
others began to get telegrams sup
posedly from llaekay as to Meehan's
terms.
Mackay offered Meehan personally
11000 for every rpund he stayed with
the champion. Meehan was more than
willing to fisrlit Dempsey and also
agreeable to Mackay handling him in
i hat one match, but when he received
the terms balked.
Meehan had the following to say
In San Francisco Saturday. "Why
nhould I agree to take $100(1 a round
for fighting Dempsey? Supposing I
should knock him out It. a round. I
wouldn't get expense mc ley.
Ilrniimry Twice Dratrn.
"That big stiff k;.ock men out?
Kny where do you get that junk?
Dempsey is- one man I can beat and
Dempsey knows it. Yes, maybe I am
a clown, but don't forget I gave him
a beating twice and 1 am going to
lick him again if they give me the
chance."
From some source or other the in
formation leaked out that Meehan has
been offered a gaurantee of 112,000,
hut that is out of the question. On
top of it all Mackay comes out back
from his haunts in New Jersey and
denies that he lias offered Meehan
anything yet. So there you are.
Meehan and Dempsey may get to
gether in Newark in December and
they may not.
Dempsey is still with the circus
touring the tank towns in the south
and his contract is due to run until
November 15.
After that he is slated, to trek to
T,os Angeles and reel off a few rounds
of movies for a said sum of'iSU.OOO
which can probably be discounted
about 50 per cent and then taken
will) a grain of salt.
It is the opinion of most of the
close followers of the fight game that
Dempsey will knock Meehan for a
string of beans or make him look
like a shredded wheat biscuit if Demp
sfy should stay eight rounds, when
they meet. Brinp, on the next one.

Franz, local sportsman and member
of the Hood River Game Protective
club, front Walter F. Backus, secre
tary of the Multnomah Anglers' asso

Mr. Backus states in his letter that
the new game code provides for a

and extending to April 1. Sportsmen,
however, will be prohibited from tak
ing mature sea-run salmon trout at

"The Speed Maniac" will be the fea
ture. Thursday is also the date for
the special mid-week concert by the
Strand symphony orchestra under the
direction of Phillip Pelz.
Primarily the present Strand fea
ture is the film version of Longfel
low's famous epic poem, "Evangeline."
To bring the story of early America
more in contact with modern life and
modern romance, the producers of
"Evangeline" have skillfully worked
it into a new -setting. The result is
that the audience has the feeling it
is reading Longfellow's own poem
rather than just sefctng a motion pic
ture based on the plot of the Acadian
tragedy. Instead of detracting from
the original poem, the novel setting
adds. Captions taken from the poem
and a few explanatory inserts giving
actual historical data increase the
value and the clearness of the pic
ture. Particular attention was paid in the
production to obtaining correct cos
tumes for not only the principals but
the entire cast. The simple costumes
worn in Acadia change to the buck
skin made necessary by travel and its
Hayes of Portland to the mat for the
count in the third round. Joe Dailey

Screen Gossip.
Tom Mix, the cowboy star, has what
is probably the costliest saddle in the
world. He used it recently in San
Francisco, where he managed a rodeo,
and where cowboys from all over ad
mired this work of art.
The decorations and metal parts
of the saddle are all sterling silver.
The bridle is sterling, and the saddle
is undoubtedly , the finest that can be
made. Tom says it is none too good
for Tony, his favorite mount.
The saddle was on exhibition when
it was not being used by Mix in
San Francisco, and it required two
policemen to keep the crowds in the
lobby of the St. Francis hotel moving.

Gareth Hughes, whose notable
screen work as the boy in Florence
Reed's "The Woman Under Oath,"
following upon his success as "lead"
to Marguerite Clark led to his being
starred in a recent feature, will again
be seen in support of Miss Reed in
the forthcoming photodrama, "The

Teddy Sampson, comedienne, tried
to imitate Houdini the other day with
painful results.
When John McDerinott, Miss Samp
son's director, left Teddy at the stu
dio while he departed for the San
Fernando valley with a motor cop to
take a scene, the officer's handcuffs
were intrusted to Teddy with a sol
emn warning that they should not be
snapped shut. About the middle of
the afternoon the little comedienne
fell into a beauty snooze.
The omnipresent studio joker
snapped the handcuffs on Teddy's
ankles. When Teddy woke up, she
couldn't walk, neither could she stand
up on both feet, and the officer with
the key was many miles away.
And so they carried her off to Jail
to get the master key.

H A ,I",.t. Or., Nov. 3. (Special.) A
petition proposing to amend the state
constitution so that the limitation of
indebtedness for road purposes may
be increased from 2 to 5 per cent
probably will be filed with the secre
tary of state here Thursday. James
Stewart, representative from Wheeler
county in the last legislature and
now a resident of Corvallis, is sponsor
for the petition and was. here today
arranging for its preparation
Mr. Stewart had previously an
nounced that he would seek to have
the indebtedness limitation fixed at 6
per cent, but after discussing the
matter with many citizens he decided
that a 5 per cent limitation would
provide the state with sufficient
money to carry on the highway work
for several years.
Mr. Stewart says that under his
plan there will be dw-ect taxation,
but that the obligations involved by
the increased indebtedness .imitation
and additional bonds will be wiped
out through the normal growth in the
number of automobiles and a slight
advance in the tax on motor vehicle
oils.

CAMP ' SHEIIMAN, Ohio. Nov. 3.
Charges that willful negligence on. the
part of steamfitters employed in the
construction of the base hospital at
Camp Sherman resulted in exposure
for weeks to the zero weather preva
lent In October, and all of November,
1917, of sick soldiers confined there,
were among the disclosures made be
fore the congressional sub-committee
by Joseph Poole, Chillicothe contrac
tor, late today. This evidence will be
followed up to fix the responsibility
for the suffering of the men. accord
ing to Chairman John C. McKenzie
and Chief Examiner Roscoe C. McCul
loch of the committee.
While sick soldiers were pinched
and actually blue to their finger tips
with the bitter cold, steamfitters sup
posedly equipping the wards with
steam heat were gambling and warm
ing themselves over their gasoline
torches, Poole told the committee. He
asserted that the weather wes so cold
the nurses wore their furs when they
tended the sick, and the doctors wore
their sheepskin lined coats and the
patients had no heat whatever.
Foremai Calls Attitude Disloyal.
Poole, who was employed by the A.
Eentley & Sons company of Toledo, as
a carpenter foreman at the base hos
pital, characterized the attitude of the
steamfitters as "disloyal" and the
"worst" he had ever seen.
Games of chance were worked
among the men, he declared, and two
or three days every week somebody
would come around and have the men
buy chances on automobiles, wrist
watches, and other things, he said.
"That was a graft worked by some
body," he declared.
Other witnesses corroborated Poole's
testimony as to the idling of the men
and the wastage of material and gen
erally agreed that the work could
have been done more satisfactorily and
in quicker time by from two-thirds
to one-half tb,e number of men on a
given job. Taylor Thornburg, Chilli
cothe laborer, told the committee that
his foreman told his gang to "hide In
the cornfields" and that from 18 to 20
of them spent from a week to ten
days in the corn. He said he drew
pay from the Y. M. C. A. and from the
government for the same work, and
that he did not dare say anything
about it, "because they were not al
lowed to."
"You might as well have some of
the extra time the other men are get
ting," was the statement Jesse Bran
don testified a foreman made to him.
On the following payday he said his
pay envelope contained $12 extra.
When he spoke of it to the paymaster
he declared the latter told him he
"couldn't count." On another occasion
he haid there was $6 extra in his pay.
Work la manufactured.
He said lie was told to "watch
gravel wagons." and as a .rule, not
ti.ore than three wagons appeared
where he was on a given day, and
sometimes he said there was only
one; for this, he said, he was paid
Jul. SO weekly.
When the men could not get any
thing else to do they chiseled pieces
cut of the floor so that they would
have to cut and fit new piece, was
Hie assertion made by R. D. Fergu
son, Chillicothe carpenter. Ho told of
a man spending three days at the pay
window to collect 30 cents he was
short iti ills pay, all the while draw
ing his regular pay of 60 cents an
hour as a carpenter. Other witnesses
related how men hired as carpenters
were utilized to carry water.
That a collection was made to buy
a mantlepiece for Ma jor-General E
F. Glenn's Chillicothe home was the
statement made by Poole. He said he
knew of about $1300 that had been
collected and that if the rest of the
workmen had contributed proportion
ately. a fund of from J5000 to $i00
must have been available. He de
flared that the men never heard any
thing more of the mantle.

shot and killed her f-year-old son
perhaps fatally wounded her 7-year-

herself last Friday in her home, 1053
Thistle street, is mentally irresponsi
ble, according to a report made today
to Prosecuting Attorney Fred C.
Brown by Dr. Donald A. Nicholson,

Dr. Nicholson says he found that
Mrs. Graham was subject to melan
cholia and could not be held responsi
ble for her acts. Prosecutor Brown
said, after receiving the report, that
he would take steps to have the
woman's mental condition examined
in the probate court. He said that in
view of, Dr. Nicholson's report he
could not prosecute Mrs. Graham as a
criminal.
The condition of the little girl was

Phil Eslcrday, Manufacturer in
Vancouver ii First Witness to
Take Stand for Accused.
Direct testimony that the Oregon
Portland Cement company entered tho
Washington field and sold its product
