FRAUD CHARGED IN DIXON
SUn BY CHURCH
AGAINST OFFICERS
rQRTLAND, Ore.. Mar. 28. )
In a suit fllcHl In the circuit court
here today, JudRe 12. W. Wicker,
former Attorney for the nllen pro
perty cuAtodlun, U charged with
having -"fraudulently and wrong
fully," converted 46 hare of the
capital tHock of the 12. Henry
Wemme company estate to his
own UHe and Dow V. Walker, for
mer county commissioner and
local representative of the custo
dian and August Wemme, nn heir
of the estate, are charged with
having "aided and abetted Wlckey
In his fraudulent scheme."
The suit was brought by Howard
Sutherland, alien property custo
dian, through his attorney, John
R. I-tHtourelte. It asks for a Judg
ment of $75.645. 80 ugalnst the
three defendants.
The alien property custodian re-!
cently made an investigation at
the request of six of the eight
Christian Science churches of the
city and designated iLatourette to
bring a suit for an accounting.
Proceeding on tho theory that
Judge Wlckey alone was Involved,
Latourette first Instituted suit
against Wlckey alone in the fed
eral court here last January. In
his own. volition he later withdrew
the suit having discovered that the
court waif without jurisdiction over
the matter because Wlckey In a
resident of Indiana.
With the view of suing Judge
Wlckey In the Indiana federal
court, Latourette went to Wash
ington last February for a confer
ence with the alien property custo
dian and while there said he dis
covered evidence that Walker and
Wemme, Portland residents, wore
asserted confederates of Wlckoy.
It whs then decided that Iatour
etto should bring a suit against all
three In the state courts here and
If Wlckey refused to submit to
their Jurisdiction that ho should be
sued alone In the District of Co
lumbia. MEDFORD PILOT

by a request for annu ranees that

Judge realizes that if he spends a
season on the bench he is automat

FIGHT TUNNEY
LOS ANOfcUCH, March 28.
Jack Dempsey, former world's
heavyweight division boss, today
flatly dneied that ' he was to
meet Oeno Tunney next July or
August somewhere In New Jersey.
"Nothing to It at all," was the
ex-champion's terse reply when
he was afked if a copyrighted
story In the Newark Ledger to
day was correct in Its assertion
that the "off-again-on-agaln" tlt'e
bout was "on" once more.
Beyond a slight curiosity as to
"what It said," Deinpscy showed
little Interest In the story.
(By Alan -T. Gould, Associated

NKW YORK. Mar. 28. VP) The
campaign to make New York safe
from the devastating Influence of
a heavyweight championship fight
seems likely to be successful again.
The struggle between the boxing
commission, on the one hand, and
Tex Hlckard and the heavyweight
champion, on the other, faces an
other deadlock, seemingly designed
to force the promoter to other
fields.
The only difference between the
present dispute and those of the
previous few years Is that the 1928
fistic follies are being staged earlier
than usual. In the past they have
been reserved for summer view.
The probability is that Rickard,
alt hough ostensibly planning to
hold tho big title fight or figh'.s
in New Y'ork this year by leasing
the two main ball parks, all along
has had an eye peeled to windward.
Chicago and Philadelphia, as well
as Baltimore and Windsor, Canada,
have mado overtures for a cham
pionship fight, but New Jersey, site
of. Hickard's first "battle of the
century" In 1921, looms as the like
ly battleground If Tunney Js to de
fend his crown anywhere outside of
Gotham.
Jersey boxing laws have been
chanked this year to provide for
15-round bouts to a decision, the
same as In New York. Boyle's
Thirty Acres, tho once historic
wooden Haucer across tho river. Is

stood to have discussed plans for
mile for a Camel" t
erecting a big concrete arena in
Jersey.
Thus, he figures, a threat of tak
ing his "big money shots" outside
Xw York might help produce a
more compromising attitude by the
metropolitan boxing authorities,
fcio far, however, such threats have
not made much headway against
the three moguls who sit In state
in the KlaUJ.n building. ,
