SIKI LAYS VICTORY
TO FIGHTING PIE
Battle With Carpentier Was
Framed, Says Conqueror.
PLANS TO QUIT BARED
Though Supposed to lAe Down In
Fourth Round, Battler Says
He Changed His Mind.
PARIS, Dec. 4. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Battling Siki. the
Senegalese , conqueror of Georges
Carpentier, declared today in the
presence of Deputy Diagne and two
witnesses that his fight with Car
pentier for the light heavyweight
world's championship had been
"framed," but that during the fight
he had determined to De the winner.
Siki said that once he was in the
ring with a crowd of 50,000 people
acclaiming him and conscious of his
own strength he had had a revul
sion of feeling, despite reminders
from his corner during his minute's
rest after the third round, and he
had decided to go in and win. '
Tragedy Due to.( Pride.
Deputy Diagne, listening to his
Story from the deposed black cham
pion, recently bereft of his title by
the boxing federation, told to news
paper men, said it wasexactly what
Siki had related to him as the story
Siki said he would tell In court and
of which Diagne said he had proof.
This was the only reason, the deputy
stated, for his agreeing to fight the
case of Siki.
That the Sikl-Carpentier battle,
which Siki declares was designed to
be the most monumental frame-up
in the history of boxing, "the frame
up of the century," became the
greatest tragedy of double-crossing
and caused the, downfall of Europe's
idol, was due Ho the pride of the
black fighter, lie declares.
Frameup Flans Bared. '
"I could not lier down before 50,
Vooo people acclaiming me," he said.
'Tev?-- befre had. I been on my
Jfliees to any man."
Siki declared that 15 days before
the fight he agreed to quit in the
fourth round.
"But inside my own heart," added
the fighter, "I kept repeating, 'I will
knock him dead if I can.
"I was supposed to take a short
count in the first round, to go to
the floor again in the second, fol
lowed by a 9-second count just be
fore the bell in the third round
come up groggy for the fourth
round, then drop with both arms
outstretched and be counted out.'
Jeer Chang; Mind.
"I entered the ring in a be
wildered condition," continued Siki,
and began to do as I agreed, drop
ping to one knee in the first round
after two minutes of fighting.
Bernstein (the referee), brought me
up sharply, saying 'get up Siki,
you're not hurt.'
"I was in a trance throughout the
second round discussing within my
self wSether.I should lie down or
fight. Georges wasn't hurting me,
although he reached me with two
hard rights to the jaw which caused
the ringside spectators to grunt
much harder than I."
"At the beginning of the third
round, I had fully decided that I
would take another count as
agreed," Siki went on. "But the
round had progressed two minutes
before Georges hit me hard enough
to give me a chance to go down. A
risht swing then hit me high on the
cheek, and I said 'here goes.' I
dropped to one knee, fully resolved
to stay there.
"Then the howls of the multitude
reached my head, which seemed to
clear. 'He's beaten. The negro is
finished' were the jeers that as
sailed me.
Blows Enrage Siki.
"Then during those seven seconds
I was kneeling before Carpentier I
made up my mind to fight. I knew
1 could win. I remembered how I
Jumped up and swung my left, and
caught Georges flush on the point
of the jaw."
Then Sik1 arose .and gave a dem
onstration for the benefit of Deputy
Diagne, who looked on with appar
ent pride at his compatriot.
"vou know the rest," continued
Eiki, "how Georges, with a pained
jook oi surprise "On his face, went

but instead he butted me twice and

TAX COMMISSION MAY NOT
RECOMMEND PURCHASE.
Trustees of r Eastmoreland Golf
Course Refuse to Relinquish
Title to Property.
If trustees of the Eastmoreland
municipal golf course stand by reso
lutions they transmitted yesterday
to the tax supervision and conser
vation commission there is strong
probability that tnis body will re
scind its former action of approving
purchase of the land embracing the
first nine holes of the course. Ap
proval of the budget item of $59,000.
put before the commission for this
purpose by the city commissioners
was only accomplished through the
vote of R. L. Sabin. By voting
with his associateson the tax body
he prevented the striking out of the
item, as this action required a
unanimous vote.
The position taken by the trus
tees is that they will not relinquish
their title to the .property and their
right to direct its operation until
the city buys the remaining half of
the course. Immediately upon learn
ing this the tax commission sum
moned city commissioners, the trus
tees and representatives of the Ladd
estate, ,-which owns the land, to a
conference. This will be held in
the commission's Quarters at 10
o'clock this morning.
The trustees who have been ad
ministering affairs and finances of
the golf course are Victor Johnson,
T. Morris Dunne and C. P. Keyser.
They were selected jointly by the
Ladd estate and. the city.

DIE FOR dGl
Message of Development Is
Sent Out by Radio.
NEED FOR FUNDS TOLD
Explanation of How $300,000 Is
to Be Used Given Audience
of About 50,000.
George L. Baker, mayor of Port
land, told the large radio audience
within receiving distance of The
Oregonian station, conservatively es
timated . as about 50,000 persons,
something of the wonders of Ore7
gon and what the people of Ore
gon intend to do in the way of state
development when he broadcast a
powerful and - striking talk last
night shortly after 9 o'clock.
The occasion was the opening of
the drive, for the development of
Oregon now being launched by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce on
behalf of the city and the entire
state.
Message Sent City.
The mayor's speech follows:
"As mayor -of Portland, Or., I have
an important message to convey to
the people of this eityone that will
appeal to every man and woman
within the boundaries of this great
and thriving metropolis. I am going
to tell Portlanders of a movement
that has been launched which has
for its ultimate purpose the placing
of Oregon in the forefront of the
states of the nation, where we prop
erly belong, a movement to acquaint
the world with what we have here
in this far western empire, treasures
far greater in value than ever have,
been dragged forth from the richest
of gold mines. Prosperity for the
business man, the merchant, the
manufacturer, the farmer, the pro
ducer, the worker and for every one
in Oregon, those now here and those
to come, is the aim of those engaged
in this most worthy enterprise.
We may have been a little too
self-satisfied in the past, contented
with the good things we were en
joying and forgetting to pass these
along to others not so fortunate as
we. That day is gone and there is
now springing to the front a new
Oregon with new leaders, deter
mined and enthusiastic. Portland
is going to make the world realize
what we already know, that we have
here in the best state in the union.
Advertising Is Object.
Oregon will advertise. That is
the announcement that I, as mayor
of Portland, am authorized to con
vey to the people. Oregon will tell
the w orld of her unlimited resources,
her unexcelled advantages, and op
portunities, her glorious; health-giving
climate, her magnificent high
ways and her marvelous and match
less scenery. We propose-totrrtng
here to share with us the good things
we have, the agriculturalist, the
horticulturalist, the industrialist, the
capitalist, the tourist, the business
man and every one who can be at
tracted by the superb display we
purpose making.
- "The leadership in this pretentious
undertaking has been assumed by
the Portland Chamber of Commerce,
an organization comprising the lead
ing business and professional men
of the city. Under the direction of
this bodv a drive will be started next
week for a fund of $300,000 to be
used in a "state-wide development
and advertising campaign. The
money will be raised in Portland,
but it will be expended for the bene
fit of the entire state. Two hundred
thousand dollars will be invested in
advertising and the remainder in de
velopment work, the programme t
cover a period of two years.
Tourist Travel Wanted.
It is the desire of the chamber to
attract to this state a large share
of the tourist travel westward in
1923. We want them to see the
wonders of nature that Oregon
'favored with and the equal of which
can be seen in no other country in
the world. Once these travelers are
made to realize the superiority of
Oregon's attractions, they will un
derstand why they have seen little
of America until they have seen
Oregon, and that they have not seen
Oregon until they have visited
Crater lake, the wondertui caves ot
Josephine county, the Klamath and
Wallowa mkes, famous Mount Hood
and 13 other snow-capped peaks,
the Columbia highway and the hun
dreds of other beauty spots , that
Oregon possesses. No other state
can give the tourist such value re
ceived for his money as Oregon.
Among these tourists, those seek
ing new homes or new fields of
endeavor, will receive the attention
of the chamber of commerce. They
will find here the most alluring cli
mate without extremes in either
summer or winter. They will be
asked to study health statistics and
they will find Oregon away in the
lead in healthful conditions and at
the bottom in death rate. For city
life, Portland is peculiarly attrac
tive, a garden spot, the Rose City
of the weft with all the advantages
and none of the handicaps of nu
merous other cities; a city where
desidents prosper and enjoy life to
the fullest.
Soil's Fertility Cited.
Those who wish to live in th
country will marvel at the fertility
and productivity of Oregon's soil,
he unequaled climatic conditions
and abundant means of transporta
tion by railroads -and improved
highways.
"As mayor of Portland I am par
ticularly interested in the advance
ment of the farming interests ol
the state, for I realize that Oregon
is essentially a farming community
and that the prosperity of Portland
depends upon the prosperity of the
state at large. So it is with the
greatest satisfaction that I refer
to the development feature of th
chamber's programme, which in
cludes the inaugurating of a co
operative marketing system that
will assure the producers ready
and profitable market for their
crops each year, such a system is
nioperation In California and
responsible for the good times th
farmers of that state are enjoying.
"As mayor I congratulate the peo-
pie of Pprtland upon the activity of
their Chamber of Commerce in be
half of the welfare of the state. 1
know that better days rre in sight
for all. The chamber will succeed.
there is no doubt of that. Let us
all strive for a united, enthusiastic
Oregon then, watch us.
DRIVE GETS GOOD START
Mail Sale of Christmas Seals Is
Ahead of Last Tear.
"It isn't every drive that can tell
ite whole story and give an unan
swerable argument in less than 60
words,", said Mrs. Sadie Orr - Dun
bar, executive secretary of the Ore
gon Tuberculosis association, under
whose auspices the loth annual sale
of Christmas seals is now being
held. Here is Mrs. Dunbar's argu
ment: '
"At this moment there are ISO.OOt)
people in the United States who are
doomed to die within the next 12
months of tuberculosis, a curable,
preventable disease, unless they
have help. Christmas seals are ded
icated to the stamping out of tuber
culosis." The mail sale retunps total $5330
to date, an increase of $817 the
same time last year. The downtown
booth sale Monday, which was in
charge of the council of the P. E. O.
sisterhood, netted $135.75. The booth
sale today will be in charge of the
Tuesday Afternoon club,, Arleta Parent-Teacher
association, Corriente
club, board of directors, of the fruit
and flower mission, the Catholic
Women's league and the Shake
speare club.

14 NEW UNITS FORMED
LAST TWO YEARS.
IN
Federal Money Received for Drill
and Camps Exceeds Cost to
State by $315,533.
SALEM, Or., Dec. 4. (Special.)
Approximately $500,000 in United
States treasury checks were secured
for the Oregon national guard dur
ing the years 1921 and 1922, or more
than 10 times the amount received
during the preceding two years,
according to the biennial report of
George A. White, adjutant-general,
filed with Governor Olcott here to
day. The amount of money received
from the government cash allot
ments for drill and camps exceeded
the cost to the state by $315,533, the
report set out.
Although 14 new units were
formed during the past two years,
with an increase in the membership
of the guard from 1371 to 2327, and
various expenditures resulting from
the distribution of 15,000 bronze
medals and securing and furnishing
the world war veterans state aid
commission with records of service
of Oregon men and women during
the' world war, the department will
get through the bienniirm .without
a deficiency.
Fourteen new units were recruited
during the past two years in vari
ous parts of the state and the ef
fective strength increased 96 per
cent. The federal disbursements
went into 20 cities of 12 counties,
including Portland, Hood River,
Gresham, Woodburn, Silverton, Mc
Minnvil'e, Salem, Dallas; Independ
ence, Albany, Lebanon, Corvallis,
Toledo, Newport, Eugene, Marsh-
field. Cottage Grove, KoseDurg,
Medford and Ashland.
While practically all officers of
the Oregon national guard have
seen active service in one or more
wars, an exacting standard of train
ing: is being maintained. Five offi
cers and seven non-commissioned
officers of the regular army have
been assigned to the state to assist
in the training of the troops. As
result of the strenuous schedule of
training, it is pointed out that thp
Oregon national guard could be
iHQbilized,-in event of necessity, in
a few hours and concentrated with
full equipment without delay
confusion.
LIQUOR DEALER ESCAPES
FEDERAL AGENTS SEEKING
IZZY KERCHEFSKY.
Local Bootlegger, Caught With
Whisky, Runs From Officers,
Who Take His Car.
With 1-!. auto and a warrant for
his arrest in the possession of the
United States marshal, Izzy Ker
ehefsky, well-known local boot
legger, has become involved in his
third criminal case in the past six
months. Kerchefsky was arrested
by prohibition agents Saturday
night but managed to escape. A
warrant for his arrest was issued
yesterday by United States Com
missioner Frazer.
According to the story laid be
fore .assistant United States Attor
ney Bynon, two prohibition agents
cailed Kerchefsky by phone Satur
day night and represented them
selves to be occupants of a down
town office building. They wanted
a half a case of whisky, they said,
and wanted it in a hurry.
"Yes, sir, 'thank you, sir. I'll have
it down in ten minutes," the boot
legger answered, according to the
sleuths' story.
In 15 minutes he arrived at the
building. The agents were hiding
in the doorway and stepped up and
arrested him. In his Ford coupe
were found the six quarts -of bond
ed whisky in one package and two
other quarts, each wrapped in sep
arate packages. Business was
brisk, Kerchefsky is said to have
admitted, and the two additional
quarts were for other customers.
One of the sleuths took cnarge oi
Kerchefsky's machine while the
prisoner, with the other agent, en
tered a government car and started
for prohibition headquarters. While
the second machine was traveling
along at a fair rate of speed, Ker
chefsky suddenly leaped from the
car and before the agent could stop
and give chase, had disappeared.
After searching for their prisoner
all day Sunday the agents placed
the case in the hands of the federal
prosecutor yesterday and secured a
warrant for the fugitive's arrest. ,

POLICE REQUIRED
TO BARE FINANCES
Autos and Expensive Homes
Be Checked.
!
VICE CLEANUP ORDERED
Morals Squad Again Shaken Up;
"Work or Go," Is Edict of
Chief of Police Jenkins.
with the statement that $140 a
month policemen cannot own ex
pensive homes and operate high-
powered automobiles on salary
alone. Chief of Police Jenkins, in a
sensational order issued yesterday,
called on every member of the po
lice bureau for a financial account
ing.
Policemen will be forced to sub
mit itemized lists of their property,
their assets and debts. "
, They will be finger-printed and
photographed "mugged" in the
same manner as the prisoners whom
they bring to jail.
Two city detectives Hellyer and
Mallett will be withdrawn from
regular duty and assigned to the
task of checking up on the past
records and present performances
of their brother officers.
Morals Squad Shaken Up.
The morals squad received Ha
quarterly shakeup. Four of its
members were sent back to uni
formed duty and full responsibility
for vice conditions was assumed by
the chiet himself.
While Jenkins made no open
charres of graft or; corruption,
there was little doubt, after the
reading of his order, that dishon
esty among policemen was the evil
he was striking at. A pure city and
a clean police department were his
objectives, Chief Jenkins said.
Illicit liquor and commercialized
vice are the two evils that Chief
Jenkins intends to eliminate from
the city. Police court prosecution,
abatement proceedings, revocation
of licenses and destruction of bar
fixtures in bootlegging establish
ments were ordered as means of
combatting lawnessness.
Through every possible avenue
action will be taken to enforce
existing laws pertaining to vice and
to stiffen the morale of the enforce
ment body. These avenues, as set
forth in yesterday's order, are as
follows:
Chief Jenkins will assume per
sonal command of the morals squad
and vice cases will be handled di
rectly through his office; with In
spector C. E. Klingensmith as chief
lieutenant in the work.
Morals Sqnad Getm New Blood.
Fresh blood will be injected into
the morals squad in five new and
proved men assigned to it.
The full co-operation of the mu
nicipal court, of the city attorney's
office and the district attorney is
sought in making the road rough
for offenders.
And finally, to purge any corrup
tion which might arise in the de
partment itself and to prevent any
original infection each officer in
the department will be required to
bare his personal and financial af
fairs, to have his fingerprints and
picture taken, and to furnish other
data as are required in many large
police bureaus and a score of busi
ness houses.
"You'll have to work or get off,"
was the chiefs ultimatum to the 12
men remaining on the morals squad
and the five appointees. Sergeant
Oelsner will remain on the squad,
but with Chief Jenkins and Inspec
tor Klingensmith as his immediate
superiors. Special attention will be
turned to the work of Patrolmen
Burdick and Schaeffer on narcotics
detailT the chief said yesterday.
In the change Patrolmen Russell,
J. W. Johnson, Chauvin and Sanders
were hit and will return to beats,
the latter two to the seeond night
relief, not the most popular pf the
three shifts. The new men are
Patrolmen Lyle, .formerly of the
first night relief; E. B. Willard, Hag
land, Gates and Morris.
Personal Data Required.
Rumors of the impending order re
quiring submission of personal data
were scoffed at about the central
station yesterday until it was fi
nally brought out. The section it
self follows in lull."
"Police officers will be required
to furnish itemized data regarding
their personal affairs. Including this
information, the amount of property
the officer owns; how much he owes
on the same; whether he has an
automobile; the state of his other
finances and how he spends his
spare time. An officer whose char
acter is not up to standard and one
who is living beyond his means will
be taken before the advisory board
and an investigation made.
'The pictures and fingerprints and
other information will be taken of
all officers. This will affect every
person in the bureau.
"No officer can own an expensive
home and operate a big car on the
salary of a patrolman alone," the
chief declared with no little em
phasis."
Strict Bleasnres Adopted.
In combating all forms of Vice
stringent measures will be taken.
Abatement proceedings will be in
stituted in all cases where convic
tions of prostitution arev obtained,
the order announced. In every vio
lation ot the prohibition law the
defendant will be booked on state
and city charges and a federal
charge where possible. The provi
sion of the state law authorizing
ponce authorities to confiscate all
fixtures used in connection with
places violating the prohibition law
will be called into use.
License revocation proceedings
will be instituted at once in every
case of a -violation of the prohibi
tion and gambling laws. The state
legislature will be asked to enact
a law which will enable the city to
revoke the licenses of so-called
clubs, which at present are operat
ing under state charters and are in
many instances nothing more or less
than gambling and " bootlegging
joints.
JUDGES PLEDGE SUPPORT
Severe Penalties to Be Imposed in
Liquor Cases.
"I have promised Chief Jenkins
my fullest co-operation," Municl
pal Judge Ekwall declared In com
ment on the new order. "Of course,
circumstances in each case are such
that I can make no hard and fast
rule, I will have to go on consid
ering each case as it comes up and
I will make my decision on its
merits. But we do want to make
the town as clean as possible.
"Complaint lias been made that I
give more severe penalties on liquor
violations than the federal court
The reason lies in this, that under
the federal law a fine of $500 is the
maximum which can be imposed on
manufacture and possession -where
no proof of sale is made, no matter
how big the operations.
"But under the city law we can
give a $500 fine and a six months'
jail sentence on each charge. I
really think that we are getting
more effective prosecution dawn
here under "the city ordinances on
the matter than in the federal
court.
"To the men who are running
stills and selling liquor I will con
tinue to mete out heavy fines and
long jail sentences. It is the only
way to get at the situation effect
ively. When you get the operator
of the Btill you hit at the source of
a great quantity of moonshine.
"Whenever a legitimate case is
made against an immoral woman .1
will impose a jail sentence.
"I have noticed an improvement
in the narcotics situation. Addicts
tell me that the combined efforts of
state, city and federal authorities
are making it mighty hard to get
the stuff.
"It is a situation at the root of
which one must strike to get any
results whatever.
The addict him- '
self is more sick and to' be pitied j
than -criminal, but get the sellers
and you've hit the root of In
fection." "We will go the limit in handling
liquor cases under this new plan of
double booking,' was the statement
made for the district attorney's of

Kirk. ' A similar sentiment was
voiced by Deputy City Attorney
Stadter. '

TAX FUNDS PROTECTED
SEATTLE CARFARE DECISION
IS REVERSED.
Federal Court of Appeals Holds
City Not Bound to Specific
Performance of Contract.
PTJGET SOUND BUREAU. Seattle,
Wash., Dec. 4. Protection of Seattle's-
general tax funds from in
vasion and use in, the maintenance
:and operation of Uie municipal street
railway system was reinforced by
the decision of the United States
circuit court 'of appeals filed in San
Francisco today. The decision of
District Judge Cushman, compelling
the city tospecific performance of
the terms "of its contract of pur
chase of the lines from Stone &
Webster is reversed and the case
remanded to the lower court for dis
missal, "without prejudice to any
right of action the power company
may hereafter have for future
breaches of the ordinance or bonds.
Substantial protection to the tax
funds had already been given by a
decision of the state supreme court
in another action, holding in effect
that all costs of the railway system
must be met out of its revenues and
no tax funds approprfated to such
use.
The action in the federal courts
was brought by the Stone & Web
ster interests in behalf of the hold
ers of the $15,000,000 in bonds turned
over for the purchase of the lines.
The advisability of waiting for the
circuit court decision has been one
reason of the de.ay of the movement
to reduce carfares to 5 cents, but
after learning of the decision Mayor
Brown said today that no reduc
tion would be possible before Feb
pendltures of the system had al
ruary l, as tne revenues and ex-
ready been figured to that time
when the next payment of bond in
terest and principal must be on
hand.

BUS STATION REQUIRED
VANCOUVER COUNCIL ADOPTS
STAGE ORDINANCE.
Drivers to Be Assessed 20 Cents
Daily and Must Use Terminal
to Obtain Licenses.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 4.
.(Special.) After a stormy session
tonight the city council passed the
stage terminal ordinance, providing
that busses operating out of this
city must establish by February 1
a brick or concrete station inside
the district bounded by Broadway,
Washington, Third and Eighth
streets.
The bus operators opposed the or
dinance on the ground that it con
tained a provision that the station
must have a minimum floor space of
5750 feet, 750 feet more than a city
lot. The bus men charced that only
one available tmilriini? nrovided that
much space. This building, they
said, was the Julius Sax structure at
Third and Main streets, now under
lease to William Paul and H. E.
Pardoe.
Councilmen Atkinson and Blakcr
also opposed the ordinance, which
was passed by a vote of five to two.
The measure has been a storm cen
ter for the past six weeks, ever
since it was first proposed.
' The bus operators charged that
the ordinance was drawn up by
Henry Crass, attorney for Paul &
Pardoe, and that it was framed with
the object of limiting the choice.
that only the Sax structure could be
used. The operators also declared
that the time limit precluded the
possibility of. building a new ter
minal, although it left ample time to
remodel the Sax building.
The drivers will be assessed 20
cents daily for the use of the ter
minal, and. all will be obliged to use
it in order to obtain licenses.
A big crowd attended the meeting
of the council. A petition, Bigned
by a number of business men, ask
ing that an ordinance be passed re
quiring the establishment of some
terminal, was presented before the
vote was taken.
