But despite tho apparent' deadlock between .the rival factions the- loud ballyhoo continues and it looks now an though no definite solution to the problem vlll be obtained until Wills, wno is now ironing aruunu rjuiujd-, plants his feet once more on Ameri can soil. Wills cabled his manager yesterday for a thousand dollars, pre sumably to use for return expenses.

The se'eond statement, given with an air of finality that seemed to elim inate air chance of Tox RIckurd stag ing the bout in New York, was brief and unqualified. "I will not fight In New 1 York State." 'i A third remark concerning state ments by Jack Kearns thiit he still had managerial power over Dempsey's engagements and that he intended to sign for a Dempsey-Wills fight, also was brief and unqualified. It was: '' "I'll do my own signing. . Let Kearns sign If he wants to, but what good wiir it do mmvr: ' ' 1 1 tV PALUSO RE-MATCHED MACEiDlS LOS 1 ANGELES. Aug. 13.

Further differences between " mil- roads over construction projects in central Oregon woro developed be fore 'the interstate commerce com mission today when tho Orecon Trunk railroad tentatively assumed a. hostile position to tho plan of the Central Pacific to build 40 miles o lino- from Klnmalh Falls, Ore., to Cornell, -Cal. Tho OreKon Trunk declared ' Its own proposal to 1 extend' u railroad from Mend, Ore., to Klumath Falls, would be1 nffcctcil by tho Central Pacific's plan. "The Oregon Trunk desires tu In vestigate and dotcrmlne whether a lino of railroad, extending southeast erly from Klamath Falls through the territory referred to In the appllca tion herein- and continuing to connect with existing lines in California would be Justified," the declaration said. V'It believes that the applicant (the Central Pacific) should not ho given permission to build a 40-mile exten sion from Klumath Falls southeast erly if the granting' of. tho applica tion would adversely affect the con sideration of a future application for the right to build another lino of railroad southeasterly from Klamath Falls, ore., to a connection with existing lines In California.
