ROUSES WIFE'S IRE
Reason for Making Slacker
Charges Told to Court.
DESIRE FOR MONEY DENIED
ider the formation of a community
club, there was enthusiastic response
and it was decided to organize. C. L.
Chenoweth was elected president;
Mrs. G. R. Underwood, vice-president;
K. D. Bridges, secretary and E. Q.
xoung, treasurer.
Already the membership is near the
hundred mark.
The purpose of the club is to pro
vide suitable social and recreational
activities for the young people; to
encourage the development of local
resources, and to further the moral
and educational interests of the com
munity. It will also conduct a pub
licity campaign, emphasizing the op
portunities in northern Douglas
county for prune growing, turkey and
Bheep raising.
Woman Unshaken in Testimony
That She Received Only $9 00
When Questionnaire Signed.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 10. Spe
cial.) How much money did Jack
Dempsev send to Maxlne Dempsey
during the years 1917 and 1918? Over
this point hours of cross-examination
developed today in the famous trial
of the champion on draft evasion
charges after Judge Maurice T. Dool-
ing had ruled that the divorced wife
might testify to matters not priv
ileged communications and had held
that the sending of money was not
such a communication.
Maxine said at first that Jack
Dempsey sent her $900 between the
dates of January 25, 1918, when she
sitrned the supporting affidavit of
his questionnaire. and November,
1918. when thev finally separated.
Under a cross-examination by Gavin
McNab she qualified her statement to
say that she "guessed it was about
900." She could not rememoer spe-
cifio amounts or dates, but eomehow
in a manner that even McNab's ques
tions could not extract, she brought
the total to $900.
Western I nlon Men Testify.
The defense asserts that she really
received at least $1800 ' during this
time. Three Western Union men from
Salt Lake City, introduced at this
time by permission so that they
mierht return to duty, testified that
Maxine Dempsey received many re
mittances by wire from Jack, so many
that they noted her as a frequent
visitor to the office.
J. B. McCloud, office manager, pro
duced records of money sent irom
other cities by Jack Dempsey. R. L.
Burton, cashier, said that Maxine and
Mrs. Celia Dempsey, Jack s mother,
both received money, but that Maxine
came more often than Mre. Dempsey.
"After the date of the Fulton fight
Maxine Dempsey Kot $200." said Bur
ton. "I remember, because she said
that Fulton must have hit Jack hard
to 1ar him loose from $200."
"Didn't you say to Beulah and
Peggy Murray at Wells." demanded
McNab. "that you had read in the
napers that Dempsey would get $250
000 for the Carpentier fight and that
you were going to have $40,000 of
it, or else you would drag Jack down
to the same level as yourself?'
"There was a discussion, but I did
not sav that." answered Maxine. "I
didn't pay any attention to it; I knew
Jack would never part with $40,000.
Photo Konfiri Ire.
"Why did you wait to make your
charges against Jack public until just
when you did?' asked McNab.
"We hadn't written to each other
for a long time, and then he sent me
a photograph of himself, and it made
me mad," answered Maxine. I did
not care what 1 did."
Earlier in the day the curious audi
ence had its longing for unpleasant
ness satisfied. Maxine Dempsey told
the story of her lif'i from the time she
met Jack Dempsey in Salt Lake City
until the present. The only thin
that made it different from the stories
of other women of Maxine's profession
was the apparent enjoyment with
which she told it. So eager was she
to dwell on the sordid details of her
life in one city after another that Bhe
ran ahead of questions to make it
unmistakably clear that when she and
Jack Dempsey had drifted apart after
a few months of life together, she
made a bee-line for the underworld
where, apparently, she was most at
home.
Under cross-examination Maxine ad
mitted, although with noticeable re
luctance. that during these months
when she and, Jack were together he
paid the bills.
In addition to her declaration of
non-support, one othe,r point adverse
to Dempsey crept into the record
through Maxine's testimony. The dis
located jaw for which she was treated
at a San Francosco hotel, she said, re
sulted from a blow struck by Jack.
"I hadn't made any money and he
knocked me down.' she said.
Dempsey Seems Embarrassed.
The testimony stayed in the record
because Judge Dooling ruled that a
blow on the jaw could not strictly be
considered a privileged communica
tion between husband and wife.
The questioning turned to Demp
sey's work for war relief. Maxine
asserted that she knew nothing of it
except what she had read in news
papers. "Did you know that when Jack
Dempsey went to work in the Phila
delphia shipyards and was photo
graphed In his overalls, it was with
government approval as a move to
advertise the yards and attract
labor?" demanded McNab.
"I didn't know it and I don't know
it now," she answered.
Jack Dempsey gazed steadily to
the floor and played with a twisted
scrap of paper as his share in raising
war relief funda was mentioned. It
seemed to embarrass him.
Although the government has ad
mittedly suffered a heavy blow in the
rule barring the letters and other
testimony oy Maxine Dempsey, the
trial is producing a mass of testi
mony and evidence. The question is
how much weight the jury will give
this testimony in the light of the
fact that Jack Dempsey is facing
trial, not for non-support, not for
anything in his relations with his
wife, but on charges of evading the
draft and conspiring to bring about
such evasion.

TLAXCA LANTONGO, State of Pue
blo, Mexico, June 10. (By the Asso
ciated Kress.) Indian residents of
Tlaxcalantongo, where President Car
ranza met his death on the morning
of May 21, scout the theory that he
committed suicide and declare that no
real defense was made of the presi
dent.
No official investigation has been
made here into the death of Carranza.
Indians interviewed by the Associated
Press correspondent, who was the
first newspaperman to visit the scene
pointed out the hut which they said
nad been assigned to the president by
Oeneral Rodolfo Herrero, who has
been charged with responsibility for
the death of the late executive. It
is built of fragile material and is lo
cated far from the quarters of the
soldiers whose duty It was to protect
him. The Indians asserted there were
stone houses available, to which thi
president might have been assigned.
Ballet Holes Through Wall.
Investigation by the correspondent
showed five bullet holes through the
thin wooden wall of the hut in a cor
ner where it was said Carranza slept.
One bullet is reported to have struck
him in the leg, and, according to be
lief here, when he sat up he was hit
by the other four.
Thirty bullet holes were counted in
various parts of the hut. Near the
door is one which is said to mark
the spot where Carranza's guard was
killed. Although the hut had been
used as the mayor's office before Car
ranza's arrival, it was furnished only
with a table, and the bare ground was
its floor. On the ground is a cross
mark, indicating the spot where Car
ranza's body lay. A candle has been
placed beside this cross and it is kept
lighted by Senora Virginia Vargas de
Luna, whose 15-year-old son was
killed by "a stray bullet during the at
tack. President Carranza reached Tlax
calantongo at about 3:30 o'clock on
the afternoon of May 20, according
to an Indian couple at whose home 10
of his escort were quartered. The
president was heavily cloaked but
was recognized by his white beard.
About 1:30 o'clock next morning the
couple heard firing in the village and
fled.
Evidence of Disorder Fonid.
They returned seven hours later to
find evidence of the disorder which
had taken place.
Three hundred yards from where
Carranza slept is a hut pointed to by
the Indians as one occupied by Ygna
cio Bonillas. former Mexican ambas
sador at Washington, who was one
of President Carranza's companions
in his flight from Mexico City.
According to the stories told by the
natives, Bonillas remained In his hut
throughout the night and in the
morning cut a hole in the wall to
see how the land lay and then es
caped. Tlaxcalantongo is difficult to
reach. A train runs from Mexico
City to Beristain and from there the
traveler mnst go oy automobile or
railway line to Necaxa. It is then a
15-mile horseback ride over rough
roads to this town.
Rumors have been heard that ban
dits are operating in the region, but
no evidence of them was encountered
by the correspondent.
Military Court Takes Evidence.
To have defended Carranza at
Tlaxcalantongo on the morning of
May 21 would have been "a useless
sacrifice," General Francisco Mur
guia, the former minister of war,
who accompanied the late president
on his flight, declared yesterday be
fore the military court investigating
Carranza's death.
General Murguia denied having any
connection with the disappearance of
national funds and he knew of no
guarantee having been received by
Carranza regarding his safety if the
president ceased his hostile attitude
Ltoward the revolution.

Huerta. Pablo Gonzales says that if
