NEW YORK, Aug. 13. (A. P.)
The heavyweight merry-go-round con
tinues to whirl on its endless way with
rival promoters and managers Jockey,
ing on their wooden steeds. Tho whole
procession ' In -. cantering aimlessly
around the three central figures in
Irlngdom's latest drama Jack Demp-
sey, Harry Wills and Ocne'Tunney.
; Dempsey has cast his lot on a mid
western mustang ridden by Floyd
Fitzsimmons, Michigan City, Ind., pro
moter, while Tunney has placed his bet
on a metropolitan thoroughbred buck
ing under tho guiding rein of Tex
Rlckard. " "' - 1
Paddy Mulllns. business genius of
Harry Wills, holds the whip hand and
the key to the whole sltuntion. Both
Rlckard and FltzSImmons have made
the negro's manager tempting offers
I to get on and ride 'but Innumerable
.conferences have yet failed to' bring
a declsslon from the unassuming niui
lfns. - - .
'Outside of the 'big show, on the
main thoroughfare aitother attraction
Is being groomed. It Is a' big bag held
by the New York state athletic com
mission but which Jack Dempsey says
Is empty. - Jack Kearns.-' theoretically
tho business manager of the cham
pion, but to' use Detnpsey's terms,
"only a. figurehead." has announced
that he will fill that bag on Friday
when ho will appear at the commis
sion to make ' his peaco and sign
Dempsey for a title- match with Wills.
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.
Mulllns talked with Fitzsimmons,
Rlckard and Kearns yesterday and
even enjoyed a 3000 mile telephone
talk with Dempsey on the coast, whoso
signature is still tt premium.. Jf ,'

LOS ANGELES, Cal... Aug. ?'(A.

behind Floyd Fitzsimmontf effoi't to
obtain the right to stage a Dempsey

pionship with two declarations made
here lute today. The first was: ,
"FitKHiminons hus mado mo a bet

any other promoter Und ho hus my
signature to a contract." '
? 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

officers, fearing that knowledge of j
the Lane country possessed by Tonii
Murray, one of tho trio of convlctHj
who escaped from tho Oregon state
penitentiary last night, might lead,
the 'desperadoes to attempt the Mc-j

The local of fie em were aided ln

Fount and Sundefer,' and a life term
trusty, who camo hereupon receipt,
of word that a car carrying tho
escapees had heuded this way. Tho
''tip" proved erroneous.
The patrol of the highways was
continued today in the Eugene dis

Murray, one of the trio of escaped
prisoners, was sent ' up from Lane
county following the robbery of the
Florence bank on December 11, 1123.
Murray with others held up the
bank and escaped with several thou
sand dollars. He was captured about
a week later and was tried hero on
tho hold-up charge. He was sent

tentiary by Judge G. F. Sldpworth
of the Lane circuit 'court.

WASHINGTON, Auk. 13. (A. P.)
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. The
Oregon Trunk desires a hearing upon
tho application, in this proceeding."
