cox DEFENDS BOUT
Ohio Governor VIII Not Stop
Willard-Dempsey Go.
Won't Take Buck Legislature
Passed to Him.

Columbus, Ohio. June 21.-with
reference 70 the situation affecting the
Willard-Dempsey contest. Governor
Cox today made the following state
ment:
THE propaganda begun a short
time ago under political auspices is
based upon such deliberate attempt
to deceive the public that it would
seem proper for me to give the facts.
Under the laws of this state and their
Interpretation by the courts, boxing
contests are legalized under direction
OF local municipal authorities
Several attempts within the past
few weeks were made in the Ohio
legislature to change existing statutes
on the subject but without result.
Failing in this, one branch of the leg
isIature passed a resolution requesting
me to interfere with the contest In
other words after the assembly itself
failed to give me legal authority. one
branch of it urged me to proceed with
out right. Dictatorship has not even
prospered in Russia and the executive
policy of Ohio will be within the laws
OF the commonwealth so long as / am
governor.
Boxing contests are conducted in
at least dozen of our largest cities.
During the winter they were held
within square of the legisla tive halls
IN columbus and were attended in
goodly numbers by members of the
legislature. If the law is Changed
giving me the right of interference. II
would be exercised. but 1 shall not
meet hypocrisy with usurpation of
power"

Atlantic City. n. J., June 21.-
Samuel Gompers today was reelected
president of the American Federation

president of its Indianapolis branch,
was slated to succeed Alpine.
This morning Denver was leading

altho there was strong sentiment for
selection of an eastern site for it.
The convention was expected to
conclude its business today and ad-
journ.
Gompers received many kilograms
of congratulation today, giving him
credit for swinging the convention
overwhelmingly in favor of the league
of nations principle. The resolution
favorfng the league was adopted
29,755 to 420 after Gompers had made
stirring speech in favor of it. Irish

BILL BUTLER DEAD
Santa Fe Station Master Sue
cumbs to Stroke of ApOplexy.
He Was Known by Thousands
of Persons in Topeka.

William Butler, Santa Fe station
master for the last twenty-one years
and one of the best known railroad
men in the state who was stricken
with apoplexy at the depot at o'clock
Friday afternoon, died at IL a. m. to-
day at the Santa F'e hospital.
"Bilr' Butler had been in the service
of the Santa Fe thirty-SiX years. Dur
ing this long period he has made the
acquaintance of thousands of travel
ers, and was known by railroad men
from President Z. p. Ripley down to
the day laborers on the sections.
Looked After Women.
Despite the fact that Butler had
only one arm. he was able to render
excellent service to his company and
to the public. He was noted for the
kindness and courtesy he always
showed to women and children travel
ing alone, and to old and feeble men.
For twepty-one years he took. a per-
sonal interest in everyone who came
to him for assistance at the Santa Fe
depot, and he never failed to volun-

Bill Butler didn't need any instruc-
ton to carry out the Santa Fe motto

official today. He did more good to
the road In his quiet way than any
other person in the employ, in my
opinion. Not a train passes thru but

Many Friends Anxious.

"Watchful Waiting" Discarded
for "WatchfuI Preparedness"
PLACE NO FAITH IN VILLA
Carranza, on Other Hand, Has
Made Good Impression.
Promises Satisfactory Settlc-
ment Commercial Disputes.

Washington, June 21.--Recent &C.
velopments along the southern border

learned officially today. have brought
a radical change in the attitude Of
this government towards Mexico. 1t
can be stated on positive authority
that "watchful waiting" has been dis
carded for ''watchful preparedness"

plans to throw a punitive expedition
of adequate strength across the Rio
Grande the moment official word is
received of reprisals on the part of
Villa for the Juarez incident. or in
case of other contingencies tending to
bring the Mexican situation again to
a stage approaching the crisis of last
Sunday. Orders for the advancement
of this column, however. it was said,
would be accompanied by instruction
for the military occupation of terri
tory necessary to insure the safety OF
the expedition and absolute protec-
ton of the border thru the creation
of neutral zone south of the line.
Further movement of the expedi-
ton would depend entirely on subse-
quent developments.

customs duties and equipment.
Although three federal generals now
are operating against Villa in northern
Mexico, confidential reports to the
war department are not optimistic re-
garding the success of the Carranzista
campaign there, while the withdrawal
of badly needed troops from the south,
it is expected, will be followed by
fresh incursions of the Felicistas-

Seems To Favor Signing.

Weimar, June 2O.-German political
leaders suddenly decided tonight to
withdraw the note to the allies in
which further concessions were de-
manded.
No reason for this action was ad-
vanced and the situation remains con-
fused. From the maze of conflicting
incidents, however, the general i'm
preston prevailed that the treaty
would be signed.

Berlin, June 20.-Mathias Erzberg-

reported to have sent note to Glenn

Germany's indemnity to 100000
100000 gold marks ($25. 5.000,000,O0

East Fortune. Scotland, June 21.-
The British dirigible R-34. which left

flight into the Baltic for the two-fold
purpose of learning whether there is
any unusual activity in German ship
ping and to further test the machine
before attempting to fly across the
