Weight of Two Men

TOLEDO. July 5. = Dempsey weighed 1S7 pounds and Willard weighed 243 pounds at the ringside yesterday. A vaudeville circuit has offered Dempsey $10,000 weekly for a twelve week run.
 Dempsey Feels Sorry For Jess
 Dempsey says he is going to try and be popular champion. He be- lieves the public wants a champion who will defend the title frequently and not stall
 'I intend to be that kind of a champion" he said 'I will take rest for five or six months and will fight whenever a contender is found"
 Willard was not injured seriously. His mouth and eye were cut, but he lost no teeth. Dempsey said he admired Willard as the latter proved himself to be game and square, and took a fearful beating, which proved his gameness.
 When Willard shook hands at the end of the big fight, Dempsey said: Well, Jesse, it's all over; l am sor- ny l had to cut you up so much. "

THINKS RAILROADS NOT MAKE MONEY FOR
 A LONG TIME YET

WASHINGTON, July 2-Director- General Hines, interviewed at Syra- cuse, said since ending of the war the volume of business has decreased and increase in business will not be sufficient to make the railroads selfsustaining for long time. There must be decided increase in freight and passanger rates or decrease in expenses, he said, but as increas- ed rates would start another wave of high cost of living he does not favor the plan He said govern ment control now protects public from rate increases that would be made to keep roads from bankruptcy and at the same time keeping rail roads from insolvcnsy He is heart ly in favor of turning roads back to owners at ends of this year and of consolidation of lines into few great systems

AMERICAS STRENGTH

Washington, Oct. 18.-Republi-
can representatives declared they
would not participate in the peace
treaty or in agreements with ref
erence to the representation of
America on the various commissions
of the peace conference until Con-
gress has passed laws regulating
such commissions and such represen-
tation.
Washington, Oct. 17.-After a
brief debate and without the far
mality of record vote, the Senate
today threw out two more of the
amendments written into the peace
treaty by the Foreign Relations COM
mittee.
The two amendments had been in
troduced by Senator Fall, Republi-
can, New Mexico, and had as their
common purpose cultailment of the
power of the American representa-
tive on the reparations commission,
an international body set up by the
treaty to fix, and collect Germany's
reparation bill.
The vote came sooner than had beer
expected, the leaders agreeing to it
as part of plan to complete the
consideration of amendments as
! soon as possible so that the Senate
might get down to the real work OF
drafting a ratification resolution.
Only two of the committees forty
five amendments now remain to be
considered land it is hoped to bring
them to a vote early next week
They both relate to equalization o
voting strength in the League of Ma
t1ons. Action on the two Fal
amendments came near the end of
session which had been enliyenee
Dy sharp debate over the dispatcl
OF American troops to Europe fo
service in connection with the ST

from administration quarters to moe
the objections of Irish-Americans +

day some progress also was mad
in the formal reading of the treat
text and the Foreign Relations com
mittee took under advisement al
offer from Colonel E. M. House t

RETURNING REFUGEES.

Warsaw, Oct. 17.-(By MaiD-
turning refugees are being eagerly
scanned by Red Cross workers in
every city of Poland each day in
search for the parents of ten thous-
and unclaimed children, lost in
the chaos of the German drive of
1918.
Every day from among the starv-
ed ranks of the wanderers, some
worn woman or broken father clasps
the thin waif from whom they were
mercilessly torn almost three years
ago,-a reunion that takes place
as often as not in some Red Cross
refugee station. There are thousands
who will never be claimed, for theil
parents, driven away when the Ger
mans came, found only temporary
safety in Russia where they were
caught in the web of anarchy and
suffered death in the day of the
Russian terror.
All of the children are now un-
der the care of the American Rec
| Cross and such supplies as are avail
able have been devoted to their
needs But for the thousands who
will never again me united with thei1
parents, more than temporary aid
is needed. Some permanent insti-
tutiona1 scheme will have to b.
| devised, but this must wait more
normal times than at the present
time.
Unless rescued from actual starv-
| alton and nakedness and mothered
by the outside world, until they are
| strong again, these children will
| bear the marqs of war for the rest
of their lives Armenia, ricketts, tu-
/ berculosis and kindred diseases
fast becoming chronic will forever
handicap them.

TARBORO

Tarboro, N c., Oct. IS.-One OF
the most important events that has
ever occurred in Tarboro and Edge
combe county took place Friday

sary to build community. Ihese
are cheerfulness, cooperation, cash

ner, which has made DR.. Daniel one
of the foremost after dinner speakers
of the country.

Coca Cola Co., of Tarboro, was
elected president of the organiza-
ton by acclamation. Other officers
and directors will be selected two
weeks later at the next meeting.

made to put the organization into
immediate operation. This was
| considered one Of the most impor-
tant steps ever taken by Edgecombe
citizens and one which will bring ru-
raj and town people closer together.

ing the interest manifested in the
movement The entire county will
