stumps, set out orchards and vine
yards, paint the houses, beautify the

DEMPSEY Is WINNER.
Jess Willard Loses Belt In Three
Rounds.

Ringside, Toledo.-Jack Dempsey,
in three bloody rounds, during which
the issue was never in doubt, annexed
the worlds premier fistic honors by
defeating jess Willard. In the first
round Dempsey sent home a body
blow from which the big fellow never
recovered. The gong alone saved him
from defeat in the first round, for
with swollen cheeks, right eye closed,
Dempsey knocked him down and
threw him helpless against the ropes
seven times Dempsey thought he had
won when the gong sounded and had
to be brought back into the ring.
willard, who lowered above his antag-
onist like a lighthouse over tug,
acted like a sick man. He was beaten
and knew it. He swung wildly and
feebly, while his relentless antagonist
pounded home blows like n great riv-
citing machine. There were cries of
"Stop itr' "Stop it!' ITS murder ~
Jess managed to last out the third
round and sank into his corner where
he was given spirits of ammonia. He
revived, tried to smile, and then his
seconds surrendered the match.

NO ARRESTS ARE MADE
DENIAL SENT TO SOVIET BY
ASSISTANT SECRETARY STATE
WILL NOT coyNTENANcE ANY
REPRlSALS FROM TROTZKY
GOVERNMENT.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, July 2.-The protest of
the Lenine-Trotzky government in
Russia against the reported arrest of
its representative, Martens. in New
York was met by the State Depart
ment with a denial and a warning
that the threatened reprisals against
American citizens in Russia would
arouse overwhelming Indignation in
this country.
DIR. Martens has not been arrested,
Acting Secretary of State Phillips in
forms the soviet authorities. He
claims to represent regime at Mos
COW which this government has never
recognized and is at the same time a
German citizen, according to his own
declaration when he entered the
country in 1916 The indignities and
hardships to which American consuls
have been subjected in Russia are re-
viewed and the plain statement is
made that the threat of further Illegal
measures against Americans is viewed
with grave concern"
The Russian note, received through
Swedish officials and cabled on June
"a by the American legation at Stock
holm, is as follows:
1.-The Russian government fears that
this arrest may not be an isolated
case, but forms part of general per-
secution of Russian citizens loyal to
their peoples government, and de-
mands the cessation of such persecu-
tions and the immediate release of
Mr. Martens.
"The soviet government expects to
be accordingly informed at an early
date, and not compelled reluctantly to
take reprisals against American citi-
ems to be found on Russian terri
tory"
In reply Secretary Phillips cabled
to Stockholm:
please inform proper Swedish au-
| thorities at once as follows: The
statement purporting to emanate from
Moscow is wholly untrue. Mr.. Mar
tens has not been arrested, nor does
this government contemplate any ac-
ton against law-abiding Russian citi-
zens in this country. 1t is understood
|
as representative of a regime at Mos
COW which the United States has not
recognized as a government. AT the
same time he is German citizen, hav-
/ ing voluntarily SO declared himself
when he entered the country in 1916.
"This government has not forgotten
the unwarrantable arrest and deten-
ton for months of Consul Treadwell
and the illegal and unjustiflable i'm
prisonment under severe hardships of
Vice Consuls Durri and Leonard, con-
trary to the fundamental practice of
civilized nations. Nor has it forgot
ten that an American citizen, Kalama-
tinno, has been held in prison at Mos
cow for months under sentence of
death, without proper trial, and with
out opportunity for his government to
assist him. The government of the
United States now views with grave
concern the reported threat of the au-
thorities at Moscow to take further
| illegal measures in the form of re-
prisals against American citizens in
Russia. Such a course, If adopted,
would be certain to arouse in the
United States an overwhelming pub
lie sentiment of Indignation against
the authorities at Moscow responsible -

GREAT .eRITAINs DlRIeieLE R-s4
LANDS AFTER LONG
FLIGHT.
REACHES DESTINATION
FIRST LIGHTER-THAN-AIR CRAFT
TO CROSS ATLANTIC
OCEAN.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mineola, N. Y, July 7.-Great Brit
aims super-dirigible R-34, the first
lighter-than-air machine to cross the
Atlantic ocean, anchored here at
Roosevelt flying field yesterday after
an aerial voyage Of 108 hours and Il
minutes, which covered 5000 miles.
Passing through dense banks of clouds,
with the sun and sea visible only at
rare intervals, the R-34 was forced to
cruise 2,050 miles to reach Trinity bay,
Newfoundland, from East Fortune,
Scotland, and 1,0S0 miles from there
to Mlneola.
When the super-Zeppelin arrived
here she had left only enough petrol
to keep her moving ninety minutes
longer. Her crew, almost sleepless for
four and half days, were weary al
most to the point of exhaustion, but
happy at the successful completion of
their trip.
Haggard, unshaven, their eyes blood
shot from the long vigil and lines Of
care bitten deep into their faces, Maj.
G.. II. Scott, the commander, and his
officers showed plainly the effects of
the anxious hours through which they
lived yesterday while they were cruis-
ing over the far reaches of Canada
and the Bay of Fundy. beset by fog,
heavy winds and terrific electrical
storms.
ut seemed as though the atmos-
phere was haunted by 5000 DEVILS"
said Lieut. Guy Harris, the meteoro-
logical officer.
With the R-34 long overdue at its
destination, petrol supply running low
and buffeted by strong winds, Major
Scott decided while over the Bay of
Fundy to send wireless call to the
American Navy Department to prepare
to give assistance If it were needed.
This was merely measure of precau-
ton and did not Indicate discourage
ment.
While destroyers and submarine
chasers were racing to her assistance,
the R-34 was plugging steadily ahead
on the way to Mineola. Once clear of
the Bay of Fundy, the hoodoo which
had beset the craft from the time it
took the air was gradually left in its
wake.
The R-34 headed southwest out
across the Atlantic along the coast of
Maine, her nose pointed for Cape Cod,
with the United States destroyer Ban
croft hanging on her tail, and in con-
stant wireless communication with
her. The destroyer struck close in the
wake of the air monster, running un-
der forced draft, until Cape Cod was
reached, and then the dirigible cut
across lots.
While the R-34 was circling the field
at a great height, Major Pritchard
jumped off with a parachute. He land
ed safely near headquarters and smil-
ingly hurried indoors before an ambu-
lance that had been rushed to the
scene could reach him.
Lieutenant Hoyt, U. s. N, the
ground officer, had assembled on the
field a force of more than 500 sol
diers and sailors ready for immediate
action as the R-34 circled lower and
lower. When she was only 200 feet
from the ground huge hawser was
let loose from under her nose Brit
ish non-commissioned officers with
American soldiers and sailors shouted
gleefully as they seized the rope and
hung on.
