AMERICANS TO
 CONTROL PRICE

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 3O.- Up to this time few London brokers have controlled the worlds sil, CT price. Ray Baker, director of the U. s. mint, backed by the Pittman nollar Silver bill. knocked the London plan to bits by clever official control of the silver minimum. Now comes the announcement that a great triumvi rate composed of the Anaconda com. pany, the American and the U. S. Smelling companies will be organized under the Webb law, to handle all sil yer exports and to protect American silver producers from foreign domina ton and price control. The reaction of silver from $1.20, the maximun reached when the white metal was thrown into the open market, to- $1.10, believed to be brot about by European combination, forced the ac ton of the American interests.

MANY WRITERS TO ATTEND THE
 WILLARD FIGHT
FOURTH OF JULY ATTRACTING MORE NEWSPAPER REPORTERS
 THAN ANY PREVIOUS BOUT;
 FIFTY TELEGRAPH WIRES WILL CARRY STORY THRU COUNTRY.

TOLEDO, July 1-(R)-No previous fight in the history of the pugilistic world has ever attracted as much newspaper publicity as the Willard Dempsey battle scheduled for the Fourth of July. More newspaper correspondents will attend the cham pionship bout than were ever present at any of the famous boxing contests of the past.
 Fifty special telegraph wires have been run to the ringside and they will be used to carry the story, as the battle progresses, to every part of the United States. Scores of photo graphs of the fight will be taken and rushed to New York by airplanes in order that they may be published in the early morning editions. A num- Der of aviators are now here, employ ed by the various newspapers for this purpose.
 Both Willard and Dempsey will en- ter the ring barehanded and will tape their hands in plain view of the spec tators. Jess strongly protested against Dempsey's plan to adjust the tape bandages in his dressing room and insisted that the bandaging be done in public.
 Five ounce gloves will be- worn by the men. It is now thOt there will be five seconds in each corner, as an agreement to that effect has been virtually reached.
 BETTING EVEN
 TOLEDO, July 1.-(P)-From pres ent indications, it is believed Willard and Dempsey will enter the ring at even money. In case of any odds it is thot they will be in favor of the challenger as Willard money, even now, is very scarce while there seems to be thousands available to back Dempsey.

DEPUTY MAKING SEARCH OF FUR
 FINDS BEAVER
MARSHAL ERWIN MAKES OPEL CAL STATEMENT REGARDING SEARCH FOR CONTRABAND FURS; 343 BEAVER PELTS HAVE BEEN FOUND.

The latest reports received from the Tolovana telegraph station indi. cate that probably more than $5,000 worth of beaver belts have been dis. covered by Deputy U. s. Marshal Hagen and Special Fur Warden Eos ter, who are now engaged ill the ex. animation of AZ sacks of furs in the postoffice at that place, alleged to be the property of the Vachons. So far less than half of the parcels have been entered. The search will be car ried out completely.
 In an interview given representa-. tive of The Citizen last night, United States Marshal L. T. Erwin said: q had not intended to give the search for contraband furs to either local newspaper. But my attention being called to the articles appearing in the News-Miner this evening, I feel that it is my duty to make plain statement of all the facts connected herewith.
 "Information was recently received at this office. and by MT. Foster, at Nenana, leading to the conviction that contraband furs were being shipped from the country. Warden Foster swore out a search warrant and I took the matter up by tele graph with the attorney general with the result that the postmaster general instructed the postmaster at Tolo, vana to permit the search.
 Thirty sacks of furs are known to have been shipped before the arrival of these instructions. Forty-two sacks which remained were seized and are now being examined. The first sack opened contained 16 beaver belts. The first ten sacks were found to hold 165 beaver belts and the latest report re. ceived by this office from Deputy Hagen says that from 2e sacks which he has entered, there have been se' cured a total of 343 of these skins. !"
 The average for the parcels ex amined shows to have been slightly more than 17 belts to the sack. Less than half of the sacks seized have been examined. Out of the total AZ sacks 22 are yet to be opened.

 BE WHOLESOME
MEAT SENT TO CHEMICAL DE- APARTMENT OF BUREAU OF MINES TESTS FREE FROM PRE- SERVATlVES AND ABSOLUTELY SOUND.

NENANA, June 30.-According to a statement made tonight by Frederick D. Browne, engineer in charge of the interior end of the Alaskan railroad, the meat which the commission pur- chased recently from Waechter Bros. & Co.,, of Fairbanks, is absolutely wholesome and without taint. MT. Browne made this statement after he had received detailed reports from tests made by the Alaska Mining sta tion of the Bureau of Mines, at Fair. banks.
 Recently the commission sent the Fairbanks station number of samples of the meat used by the com mission, every kind being included and asking it to make thorO test for preservatives and report as to the quality. While MT. Browne was con- vinced at that time that the meat was good in every respect, so many wild rumors were afloat about it that he determined to make such tests as would stop these reports and ease the minds of those who had become af- fccted by them.
 The results of the tests were re. ceived here today. And MT. Browne stated that they prove the meat free from all conservatives and to be good stock of wholesome quality. MT. BroWne's statement will put an end to whispered stories about people be. ing poisoned by rotten meats.
