SAYS JACK CURLEY not
WILLARD'S MANAGER
Tom Jones Says He Has Contract TO
Manage willard for Three Years
from May 19l3-and Will Handle
the job
tBy Hal sheridan.l

New York, Sept l5.-Tom Jones
manager of Al WOlgast, is out with a
denial Of reports that Jack Curley of
Chicago has supplanted him as manager
of jess willard.
"Curley,' Jones told newspapermen
here, "is not Willard's manager and
never will be. About two weeks ago
Curley Informed the public that he was
now Willard manager was backed by
somebody with plenty of money and
proposed TO handle Willard in such a
way as to make him worlds champion
and clean up s250,000.
"Curley went TO Chicago recently to
grab Willard. He got big jess in tow
and invited him around to see some
shows, bought him dinners and liquid
refreshments and told him that if he d
only trail around with Curley he could
have any little thing he happened to
desire. At this iuncture big Jess, who
had been silently accepting Curley s
hospitality, opened his mouth and said
something worth while.
"'I have three wears contract
with Tom Jones, jess told Curley.
" After Curley had recovered from
several fanting spells he hurried around
to see me. He tried to buy Willard s
contract with me but | turned him
down flat Consequently Curley, in
spite of his recent press agent stuff, has
not anything to do with jess willard,
and is not likely to have in the future.
my contract with Willard is a brass
bound, unbreakable affair, sufficiently
signed and witnessed by notary. Ac-
cordiug to its terms, willard for certain
financial considerations I paid him

and sign articles for him and
to handle all Of his business affairs for
a period of three years. Our contract

STATE WILL AID
SETTLERS IF POSSIBLE

State aid will be given to settlers
who are members of the Willow Creek
Water Users association if such pro-
ceedure is possible through the usual
legal channels, according to a state
ment given out by Governor West this
morning. Harry Flynn, of Brogan, was
in Salem Monday representing the water
users association and soliciting aid
from the state to protect the settlers in
a foreclosure suit brought against them.
1t appears that along Willow creek,
which is in Malhuer county, a number
of settlers were induced to buy land
and water rights from the Willow Creek
Irrigation company. The company pro-
posed to dam the river to store the flood
waters for irrigation purposes. The
company went short on funds and was
obliged to abandon the project. The
settlers stayed with the land though
they received no water. The creditors
of the company formed the Willow
River Purchase, and proposed to oust the
settlers on the grounds that they had
not paid their assessments for maintain
ance or for interest.
The settlers claim that they have al.
lowed their payments to lapse because
they received no water. Nevertheless
the company has brought suit to fore
close. The settlers have brought their
claims to the attention of the State
authorities. Governor West is of the
opinion that some of the lands are held
under school mortgages. If such is the
case a test case can be brought by the
State to clear title to the lands and
thus aid the people of this district.
Many of the settlers are in hard circum-
stances and it is said that it would be
impossible for them to continue any
long sustained litigation.
