to meet Gunboat Smith, the American
heavyweight, in a 20-round fight at
Olympia on Thursday, came to London
yesterday. Arriving at Charing Cross,
he was given a demonstration that for

arch.
Enclishmen and Frenchmen, literally
by the thousands. jostled each other
in the sweltering heat to catch a
glimpse of the champion OF France or
shake him by the hand. Nero worship
ran riot such an extent that traffic
i'm the Strand was completely blocked.

lieve that it will be a hard fight. |

Will Base Defense on Declaration
That Miners Blew Up Own Hall

Butte. July 1.-THE city of Butte
will resist the claim of $13S,291 for
mally made by the Butte local of the
Western Federation of Miners for the
destruction of Miners Union hall The
city intends lighting 10 the last ditch
the suit which the miners will file
Acting Mayor Smith and Deputy City
Attorney Davis are the authorities for
the above statements. Each declares
that there are circumstances sur
rounding the destruction of the build
ing which constitute a good legal de-
fense for the city.
Deputy City Attorney Davis added
that while there are number of de-
fenses which the city will set up, one
of the principal ones will be that the
miners destroyed their own property.
"The legal department of the city
will do all in it's power to resist the
claim" declared Deputy Davis. while
these defenses have not been outlined
yet. the city attorneys Office is already
at work preparing for the issue. There
is plenty of time for this defense, as
the claim made Upon the city will
have to be referred to committee
and then it will be formally turned
down by the city council before the
suit is begun by the miners"
The claim upon the city, filed with
the city clerk by Attorney Peter Breen
will be presented to the council at to-
nights meeting. Under the law, all
claims must be referred to the judici-
airy committee Acting Mayor Smith
is chairman of this committee. AS he
has already announced his views on
the question. the committee will re-
commend that the council refuse to
pay the claim. After it is rejected it
will be up to the Miners union to
bring "a damage action i'm the district
court, if they are disposed to press the
claim.

Man, Aged 80, Who Sees For First

Stockholm, July ia Swede, 30
years old, who had been blind all his

complete revolution in his conception

conception of it was "a tree.
