That the Eyes or World Are
Upon Economy Plan.
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 1.
President Harding called to order to
day a second meeting of government
officials on the budget. Today's ses
sion was behind closed doors. It was
attended by some 30 department
heads and representatives of major
government bureaus.
President Harding told the budget
makers there would be many heart
burnings, but that Director Dawes
would "have full authority of this
government back of him in a fight
for reduced expenditures. The world
Is watching this well resolved ex
periment." "A distinguished diplomat told me
that his own country had already
cabled him to keep close watch on
every step of our budget enterprise.
The rules to be promulgated this
morning by General Dawes have been
gone over deliberately, and he comes
with full authority." President- Hard
ing said that he felt the success of
the budget undertaking lay "in a more
intimate touch between those who
are responsible for details and those
who must report to the president."
Budget regulations made public to
day provided for a compilation, by
the budget bureaus of balances In
tended to be saved in each depart
ment or bureau which would go into
a special "general reserve fund."
The amounts approved by the presi
dent for expenditure under an appro
priation title "will be considered as
the maximum available for obliga
tions during the fiscal year. Esti
mates of minimum expenditure made
Dy the budget bureau, on its first
survey are to be subject to revision."

tives Leave for Ringside.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 1. A
magnetic influence having Its center
in- New Jersey, where tomorrow's

bout included McNary, Oregon; Poln
dexter, Washington, and Shortridge,
California.
FAIR FOURTH IS PROBABLE
Weather Outlook "Pretty Good," Is
Forecaster's Word.
"Conditions are somewhat unset
tled, but the outlook is pretty good."
said Weatherman Wells last night,
when interviewed, concerning his
views on weather for July 4. "That
Is as strong as I care to go at pres
ent." When Mr. Wells says "pretty
good." the general public has a right
to be encouraged, for he means just
that and has some good reason for
so believing. Moreover, be is In
fluenced only by what his instru
ments tell him, not by any mass
mind which, the psychologists say,
is telepathlcally conveying to the
weatherman the general desire for
a forecast of fair weather on the
Fourth.
PLANES TO INFORM PARIS
Lights Will Tell Whether Dempsey
or Carpentier Is Victor.
PARIS, July 1. (By the Associated
Press.) Six high-powered airplanes
tomorrow night will fly over the
boulevards and throw strong red
lights on the Parisian crowds if
Georges Carpentier succeeds in
knocking out Jack Dempsey. Soft
white rays will be flashed if the
Frenchman fails.
Frenchmen demanded 3 to 1 and
offered little money today even at
that price. At the bourse, it was
said, the odds probably would not go
below 3 to 1 in favor of Dempsey
and that extensive betting on the
result of the contest was not ex
pected. OFFICIAL PAPERS VANISH

YOUNGER GENERATION CANT
ot One Out of Ten Give Chance
to Poilu to Stick 12 Rounds
Small Wagers Laid.
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham
pion of the world, "is an overwhelm
ing favorite to retain his title via the
knockout route , over Georges Car
pentier today in Jersey City, among
Portland fistic followers interviewed
yesterday.
Not one out of ten gave Carpen
tier the chance to stick the 13 rounds,
much less win the fight. However,
a few were certain that Carpentier
would be returned the winner and
several even went so far as to state
that It was their opinion the French
man ' would"Tcnock Dempsey out.
Many wagers of small amounts
were laid In Portland yesterday at
even money that Carpentier would
not answer the bell for the seventh
round. Straight betting am the fight
was practically all registered at JS4
to 1, with few takers.
Most all of the betting was on the
knockout. There are plenty of fistic
followers betting and willing to bet
more that Carpentier will come up
for the seventh. There are a num
ber of fans who don't think the
bout will go over a round, but at
the same time do not care to risk
any money on it.
Following are what some Portland
boxing fans think of the outcome of
the championship RCap:
Bill Pangle I can t see anything
but Dempsey because of his brute
strength.
Ralph Gruman Denvsey should
stop Carpentier within six rounds,
although the Frenchman Niay put up
some unexpected oppositio .
Frank Kendall Dempsey Is a cinch
and I think he will turn ilie trick
within two or three rounds.
Dr. Earl V. Morrow I don'A think
Carpentier Is quite the setup Imag
ined and would certainly like to see
him win, but am forced to tavor
Dempsey.
Jess Rich Dempsey will knock
him kicking within six rounds.
Sol Stiller Dempsey may win. but
Carpentier will stick the limit.
Jack King If the battle goes over
a round I will be surprised. Demp
sey Is the greatest puncher of all
time and how anyone can figure
Carp even a chance of sticking is
beyond me.
Harry Hays I . would like to eee
Carpentier win, but it looks to me as
If Dempsey were too much for him.
George H. Ellis of Spokane. Wash.
I wouldn't know, either fighter if I
were introduced to him, but Carpen

will win. but hope Carpentier knocks
his block off.
Dick Grant I favor the sprinters,
so think Carpentier may linger a few
more rounds than most of the fans
figure.

Dempsey, Carpentier to
Make History Today.
LAST LEGAL HURDLE LEAPED
Grand Jury Refuses to Indict
Principals and Promoters.
SENTIMENT FAVORS POILU
Challenger's Demonstrated Prowess
in Arena and on Battlefield
Gives Him Halo of Heroism.
NEW YORK. July 1. (By the As
sociated Press.) Pugilistic history
will be made In a huge pine board
arena in Jersey City tomorrow after
noon, when Jack Dempsey defends his
heavyweight championship against
the fistic challenge of Georges Car
pentier. It will be an international
glove contest in the broadest applica
tion of the term. Every section of
the globe will await with keen Inter
est the outcome of the battle between
the American holder of a long record
of ring victories and the Frenchman,
noted equally for his prowess In the
squared circle and on the sterner bat
tlefield of the world war.
The last legal obstacle fo the match
was removed today when the Hudson
county grand Jury refused to return
an indictment charging the principals
and promoters with conspiracy to
hold a prizefight in violation of the
New Jersey law.
Seats Provided for l.OOO.
Seats have been provided for more
than 91.000 spectators and a majority
of them have been sold. A purse of
3500,000 has been given by Promoter
Rickard. Of this huge sum, an amount
far in excess of any. financial com
pensation ever offered pugilists In
the past, Dempsey will receive $300,
000 and Carpentier $200,000, regardless
of the outcome.
Advance ticket sales up to an early
hour tonight amounted to nearly 81,
500,000. Regardless of the enormous
expense attendant upon the venture.
Rickard is certain to clear a net prof
It several times larger than from any
of his previous efforts. It is estimated
that the purse, cost of arena and nu
merous overhead expenses will mount
close to .$1,000,000.
Uncle Sam to Profit.
Rickard, Dempsey and Carpentier
will not be the only persons to profit
by the "battle of the century," .as the
contest has been aptly named. Uncle
Sam will take close to $500,000 under
the income tax laws. In the last 48
hours virtually every incoming train
has brought its quota of fight fans
from all sections qf the United States.
Canada and Mexico. Trans-Atlantic
and coastwise steamships have added
hundreds more to the crowd .that will
descend upon Jersey City tomorrow.
France, the home of the challenger,
England, where he is almost equally
popular; Spain and other continental
countries. South America and the far
east all will be represented.
All past impressions of huge fight
crowds and the attendant pictures of
interest and enthusiasm retained upon
the mental retina of veteran boxing
authorities faded before the magni
tude of present scenes. Reno with its
gathering for the Johnson-Jeffries
clash; Havana, the site of the Wll-lard-Johnson
battle, and Toledo, where
Dempsey wrested his present title and
ring honors from Jess Wlllard, offered
nothing that compares with the
night-before scenes on the eve of the
Dempsey-Carpentier battle.
Sentiment Favors Carpentier.
The outcome of the battle appears
to be the only subject of discussion
among millions of persons who nor
mally take only slightest interest in
matters pugilistic.
Sentiment seems to lean strongly
In favor of Carpentier, probably be
cause of the halo of heroism the war
has given him. However, but a very
small percentage of the Frenchman')
well .wishers care to carry their en
thusiasm to the point of betting on
him to win. Dempsey Is a "V4 to 1
favorite in the wagering, and there
are thousands of dollars of uncovered
wagers here tonight, although bet
ting by the Frenchman's supporters
has increased noticeably within the
last few daye.
Polio Still Mystery.
Many expert followers of pugilism
express surprise that the difference
in odds is not greater, as- Carpentier
Is as much a "man of mystery" on
the eve of battle as he was the day
he landed on the Iele of Manhattan
to train for the clash. After weeks
of the closest application and effort
on the part of boxing writers and
authorities very little is known of the
real ring ability of the French chal
lenger. His few public training exhibitions
in his camp have shown little that
was not generally known before.
Lightning fast afoot, possessing a
powerful right-band punch which he
can shoot from various angles and a
well muscled body, except around the
mid-section, he appears to be at best
a middleweight wltn the legs of a
heavyweight. Of his ability to take
punishment from a terrific hitter of
Dempsey's caliber, little le known
and much is doubted.
No question arises regarding Car-

Woman, Recently Released From
Prison as Espionage Violator,
Kidnaped at Twin Falls.
TWIN FALLS, Idaho. July 1. Mrs.
Kate" Richards O'Hare. eocialUt
writer and lecturer who was released
from federal prison by President
Wilson after she nad served 14
months of -a sentence 'or violation
of- the espionage law, this afternoon
was taken from the Twin Falls home
of H. H. Freldheim, her sponsor, by a
party of a dozen or more unidentified
men.
Inadequate descriptions of her ab
ductors have been furnished to the
authorities, but no trace of them had
come to light late tonight
Mrs. O'Hare T arrived at Twin Falls
at noon today with her daughter.
coming from Vale, Or where she
spoke Thursday night. At Vale she
received a telegram from Friedheim
to the effect that the county and city
authortiles had warned him that Mrs.
O'Hare's coming here would be like
ly to result in dangerous conse
quences and advised him to prevail
upon her to cancel the engagement.
Mrs. O'Hare's reply as given by
Friedheim this morning was to the
effect that she would stand upon her
constitutional rights, that she had
been 'threatened before and nothing
had ever come of it and that "bark
ing dogs don't bite."
Feeling in Twin Falls against Mrs.
O'Hare, who has spoken here on two
different .occasions, has been high,
according to the authorities. Reso
lutions in opposition to her intended
appearance were adopted by numer
ous patriotic and civic organizations.
Mrs.- O'Hare had been scheduled to
address an audience here at 8 o'clock
tonight.
It was known here that Mrs. O'Hare
was carried so far that three hours
later the kidnapers had not returned.
' Agitation against the appearance
of the woman had been growing rap
idly and steadily since the first an
nouncement was. made a month ago
that the head of the' socialistic party
here, H. H. Friedheim, had con
tracted with her to make a public
address. The Legion first took cog
nizance of t.he plan and openly de
nounced the leaders of the movement.
Since then half a dozen fraternal or
ders, the Kiwanis, Rotary and Civic
clubs, as well as Boy Scouts, have
adopted resolutions denouncing the
scheme.

STIRRING SPEECHES GIVEN
National Adjutant and National
Chaplain Get Ovations; The
Dalles Wins Xcxt Meet.
EUGENE, Or.. July 1. (Special.)
Oregon's ex-service men will not rest
until a check is' placed upon the ori
ental. Such was the pledge taken
today by 250 ex-service men sitting in
their third annual convention of the
Oregon department of the American
Legion.
Recommendations to the govern
ment to take positive action by
"treaty or otherwise" and an added
provision whereby an anti-oriental
measure, forbidding ownership of real
property by members of the race, be
placed upon the ballot at the next
general elecfton, should no results be
forthcoming from the government,
were made to an accompaniment of
cheers.
Slated to come before the body to
morrow morning is a mountain of
convention business, including recom
mendations in the Albers case, state
aid matter, an expression on activ
ities of certain Germans. German
made propagandist films and election
of officers.
The Dalles Gets Con vent loa.
The Dalles was chosen today as
next year's convention city.
Stirring addresses were made at the
convention openng by Lemuel C.
Bolles, national legion adjutant, and
John W. Inzer, national chaplain.
Both received ovations in recogni
tion of their distinguished services to
the legion.
State Commander Gilbert of Astoria
opened the session but spent much of
his time on the convention floor, leav
ing the gavel in the hands of Lane
Goodell of Portland, vice-commander.
O. H. Foster, city attorney of Eugene,
welcomed the delegates on behalf of
the city.
Convcatloa Parade Held.
Following the opening exercises and
the convention parade arranged by
the local convention committee in co
operation with the business houses,
the chamber of commerce and the
citizens of Eugene, the body again
went into session and in the first few
hours of the afternoon disposed of a
mass of routine matter.
After a ringing address by Francis
Galloway, The Dalles was chosen as
the next convention city. A fight was
put up by the Baker post, but, swung
by Galloway's address and propaganda
previously spread by The Dalles dele
gation, the convention unanimously
selected the city on the Columbia,
"where the jails are so good that a
legion man cannot break by or. steal
into them," according to Mr. Galloway.
Gratitude Is Expressed.
Oregon's service men are grateful
for the state-aid measure recently
passed and their feelings were ex
pressed in a resolution introduced by
Lyman Rice of Pendleton, member
of the state bonus committee. J. A.
Beckwlth of Portland was chairmun
of the committee which fathered the
resolution. Service men were warned
against accepting advances on their
compensation.
Barge E. Leonard of Portland, head
ing .the committee on the Japanese
question, made his report with ease,
