'' Carpentier Gets Hair Cut.
JERSEY CITY, N. .1., Juno 2S.
Vice Chancellor Stevenson today de
nied a motion by the International
Iteform bureau for an order directing
Promoter Tex ltlcknrd to Hhow cause
why he should not be restrained from
staging the Dempsey-Carpentler bout
In tills city Saturday.
WASHINGTON. June 28. Dr. Wil
bur F. Crafts, superintendent of the
international Iteform bureau an
nounced here today that the applica
tion of the Rev. Hubert Watson for
nn injunction in the chancery court
at Jersey City to stop the Dempsey
Cnrpentler fight was only the first
move by the bureau in its effort to
prevent the light. Ho said there were
many courts In New Jersey competent
to issue an injunction and that if un
successful in one, representatives of
the bureau would renew the effort in
others.
"You may rest nssurcd," Bald Dr.
Crafts, "that Mr. Watson, who is
president of our bureau, lias evidence
to support his case. All the world
knows that the match is a prize fight
and not a boxing contest-such as is
permitted by the law of New Jersey.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 28.
Jack Dempsey today is within forty
eight hours of the end of his training
grind. The champion is scheduled to
do his last boxing in public this after,
noon and tomorrow.
Dempsey and bis handlers had no
explanation to offer today fgr the se
cret workout late yesterday afternoon
when ho tolled for fifty-five minutes
ut top speed with only three specta
tors watching him. Dempsey worked
out In the stuffy old hangar, a quar
ter of a mile back of his camp, after
announcement was mado that he
would take a day off.
Some noted trainers und athletes
have been rather strong in their criti
cism of the chnmplon. They believed,
they said, .that Dempsey was too finely
drawn, that he had overtrained and
was on the verge of going stale. But
the workout yesterday satisfied those
privileged to watch that he is at top
form. .
MANH ASSET, X. Y.. June 28.
The tnnsorial artist of Manhasset to
day visited the Carpentier camp with
his clippers and took back to his vil
lage shop the fair locks of the chal
lenger. Now all members of the
camp are guying Georges because of
his ulmost bald pate. -
After the morning 'road work, a
rest- was prescribed for the French
man. He was said to be working se
cretly before noon with Charles Le
doux, the French bantamweight
champion, but this report was not
confirmed by his trainers.

ROME. June 2S. The volcano of
Stromboli, situated on the island of
the same name, off the northern coast
has burst Into activity. The
' eruption began with, a violent ex
plosion which was heard far from the

. , Stroniboli Is a volcano of remark-
fc.al,le force and activity having been In
ijiin-ipti'on for the .better part of the
uify '2,1)0,0 years. The two most vio
' loin outbreaks In recent years occur
'red in 1907 and 1915. The activity
of the volcano In 1907 was considered
by some observers as a precurser of
the great seismic convulsion which
virtually destroyed Messina the next
year.
In normal times the population of
tho island is aproximately 2,000 .

in this town a ltttlu over a year

spring, probably will bo expected
to cover all of the famed Jack-
son's Hole country one time ren-
dczvous for bandits and "bad"
outlaws. Returns compiled today
on Saturday's special election
show that the promised division

seven hundred majority and that
Jackson has been chosen as tho

With Jackson under a women's

CHARLESTON, W. Va., Juno 28
Governor E. E. Morgan by proclama
tion here today reaffirmed his declara
tion of martial law in Mingo county
and commanded the assessor there to
enroll all persons liable tinder the law
for military duty. He also ordered the
shoriff to draft 130 men, or to accept
130 volunteers who are to be mustered
Into the service of the state for sixty
days, to enforce all orders promulgat
ed by the governor.
Governor Morgan's proclamation re
cited that a "state of war, insurrection
and' riot," still exists in Mingo county
and that the Judge of the circuit court,
the sheriff and prosecuting attorney
have again declared they are unable to
control the situation and have repre
sented to the governor that thero "Is
grave and Imminent danger of greater
and more serious trouble in that
county." '

BATTLE SATURDAY
PATHS, June 28. The French
people arc solidly behind Cnrpcntier
in his coming battle with Dempsey,
but the sporting papers for several
weeks have been voicing a warning
against what they have" considered
over-confidence based on sentimental
loyalty. Krcnch sportsmen frankly
admit that few of them know Demp
sey, while Americans have a better
chance to nppralse Carpentier.
The big fight Is occupying large
space In all tho newspapers and
crowding International politics and
the "next war" out of conversations.
The American supporters of Demp
sey here, however ennnot get all
their money covered even at liberal
odds.

MRS.KABER BARS
WOMEN ON JURY
IN MURDER TRIAL
Alleged Slayer of Rich Mate to
Plead Temporary Insanity
Mother and Daughter Alio
Implicated Defendant Is
Calm in Court,
CLEVELAND, June 2S. Mrs. Eva
Cntheriue Kaber. charged with having
plotted the ussasslnatlon of her hus
band, Daniel F. Kaber, wealthy Lake
wood, Ohio, publisher, was formally
placed on trial this morning. She is
under indictment for first degree mur
der which carries the death penalty.
Mrs. Kaber appeared unconcerned
as she entered the crowded court room
and seemed disinterested In the trial.
"The corridors of the court house
were filled and the crowd In front of
tho building had increased to more
than a thousand persons before Mrs.
Kaber appeared.
Attorneys for tho defense protested
against the prospect of women being
placed on the jury and immediately
submitted a motion to annul a special
panel of 42 talesmen because five
women were included. Judge Hernoon
promptly overruled the motion on the
ground that the state constitution did
not bar women jurors.
Doubt was expressed whether a jury
would be selected before the end of
tho week.
When the trial opened attorneys for
Mrs. Kaber were prepared to ask for
a continuance. Falling in this, it was
indicated, a plea of temporary Insan
ity would be entered, which the state
announced would be vigorously op
posed. Mrs. Kaber Is tho first ofjklx persons
under indictment for Knbjr's murder
to be tried. Tho others are Mrs. Mary
llrickel, her mother; Marian McArdle,
MrsKuber'a daughter, and three for
mer servants. . .
Kaber, an Invalid, was stabbed twenty-four
times while asleep In his Lnke
wood home, July 18, 1319. At the cor
oner's inquest, Mrs. Kaber was prac
tically accused of the crime, but for
want of evidence was dismissed. Thru
effortB of Moses Kaber, father of the
dead man, the quest for a solution was
continued.
Four weeks ago Mrs. Iirlckel broke
down and issued a statement implicat
ing Mrs. Kaber. The arrest of the lat
ter and Miss McArdle In New York
followed.

was made before the National Social
conference last night by Miss Frances
Perkins, member of the New York

Miss Perkins' address, which was
greted-hy a moment's hush, followed
by exclamations of surprise, still was
a topic of discussion today.
"It was ultra modern, to say the
least," one of the delegates said.
"The" man had come before tho
board seeking Industrial conpenBa
tion," Miss Perkins said. "He was
blind, yet his eye reflex was perfect
Investigation revealed the victim to
be suffering from neurosis. We sys-
pected some fear was preying on hi?

truth.
"The! man was living In bigamy

was his wife because she loved him
and he loved her. Tho first wlfo had
been unkind and lie had deserted
her."

WASHINGTON', Juno 2S. Repre

sued a statement today asserting that
tho new republican members of the
house were dissatisfied with the pro
gress mado by congress at tho pres
ent specital session and dlsclosln
that he and tun others had Jolnel In
a call for a conference tomorrow
night of approximately 100 new re
puhllcan members to discuss tho sit
uation. .
"We are not meeting In any Bpirlt
of revolt," said Mr. Ansorgo, adding
that tho new members wanted to "cut
some of tho red tape and substitute
action for delay."
.Mr. Ansorgo said nono of the ob
jects for which congross was called
into special session had been accom
plished. "Nor Is thero any dofinito promise
ns to when they will bo," he added.
"Thero are upwards of a hundred
first term republicans in tho house
and they all feel as I do, that wo have
not been permitted to make our In
fluence felt.
"Congress was called Into special
sesson for certain definite purposes,
namely for revision of tho cumber
some, unwleldly and Inequitable sys
tem of taxation, tho passage of a fair
protective tariff and the passage of a
pence resolution. None ofthese ob- ;
JoctB havo as yet been accomplished.
"Nearly three mouths have passed i
slnco tho calling of tho special session
and we want to seo action, spelled
.with a capital A. .' " ' ,
"Wo bollovo, with the ropubllcaa
party, that what is bOBt for the coun
try is best for tho party nnd, we want
to impress that thought on some of
tho other members. Many of them
havo been here so long that they seem
to have forgotten It. '
"Wo are not mooting In any spirit
of rovolt. We have come more re
cently from the people and our oplnr
Ion should have some weight. Con
gress Is all tied up with red tape and
substitute action for delay. The se
niority rule can go too far. We feel
that our districts havo as much right
to representation as has Uncle Joe
Cannon's.
"This is not a now thought. I have
talked It over with tho new members .
ai.d they bollovo that conferences
from tlmo to time will serve a good
purpose."
Plans nre now perfected for n cam
paign for lted Cross funds, to act as'

will be opened on ThurBday. Volun
teer subscriptions can bo made at any

Tho question is sometimes 'naked '
"Does tho lied Cross duplicate the
