Jan PaderevSki was made here when
he returned to Warsaw from Paris.
Premier Paderewski's return home
from the peace conference was the Oc-
caSiOn for Il mammoth demonstration
in his honor and when he and Nine.
PadereWski stepped from their rail-
way carriage at the Vienna station
thousands of Poles were there to well
come him home.
Pair Draw Pistols.
AS the premier and Nine. Paderew-
ski emerged from the railway station
and were about to enter their motor
car two men standing near them sud-
denly shouted in unison: "DOwn with
PadereWski -
At the same moment they drew re-
VOIverS and tried to shoot the pre-
mier at close range. Before they could
level their weapons, however, d score
of men pounced on them, beat them
to the ground and diSarmed them. Be
fore the gendarmeS could rescue the
two men the crowd, realizing what had
happened, fought their way to them
and beat the wOuld-be assassins I'M
mercifully. Before the police could
intervene to rescue the men and place
them under arrest they were severely
injured.

is Pole.
The whole affair was quickly over
and in minutes time Premier Pad

ing his acknowledgment of the warmth
and enthusiasm manifested in the
greeting accorded him.
Despite the incident, this was, in
deed, PadereWski day in Warsaw.
For him, the whole city turned out.
Not long ago it was for General Hal
Ter, bringing home the army from
France. a little later, it was for Gen.
Joseph Pilsudaki, returning home
from Wilma, a cOnquering hero. Tues
day it was for Premier Paderewski,
and in crystal clear sunshine and with
bands playing and flags waving, thou
sands of people packed the square in
front of the Vienna railway station to
welcome his return to his own people
after weeks of labor in the peace con-
ference

True Version of Cinderella.

Cinderella never had glass shoe.
This is sad but true. The pretty
story OF the Cinder Girl came from the
French and the author made Cinderel-
La wear ''pantoufle en- war;" slipper
made of war;" a word which means
fur. There is French word ''verre"
which means glass, and the translator
mistook ''vaire'' for "verre" and con-
sequently history records Cinder Ella
as wearing glass slipper.

Paris, May 14.-The Hungarian gov
eminent has not yet accepted the in
vitatiOn to name delegates for the

Shea butter, the reddish oil of the
West African shea tree (Butyrosner-

BILE buffers that are now of unusual
interest to makers of margarine, chloe

and wholesome pulp Of the NIT is much
priced by the natives, and is said to
be nearly two-thirds butter. Great

Toledo, July 1.-The last of the pre-
liminary details of boxers, promoters
and arena constructors will be COM
pleted today and with the gathering up
of stray strands the stage will be set
for the heavyweight championship bout
between Jess Willard and Jack Demp-
sey, scheduled for Friday afternoon.
The principals will do but light train
ing work, Willard boxing few rounds
with his tired and battered sparring
partners, while the challenger will con-
exercises and some shadow boxing.
At about the same hour the last nail
will be driven in the arena, which is to
seat some $4,000 spectators and the
greatest fight stadium of ancient or
modern times will be ready for its
burden of humanity on the Fourth of
July.
The sale of seats has kept pace with
the speed in arena construction and last
night Promoter Tex. Rickard stated
that close to half of the $4,000 seats
had been sold, including the greater
portion of the higher priced sections
While he did not care to give the
exact receipts to date, he said that they
were well above his estimate of the
gate when he first contemplated the
possibilities of the match some six
months ago.
The usual sidelights Of heavyweight
championship bout, whether in a bis
city or on the sands of the desert, hav,
made their appearance and veteran fight
followers admit that the last touch o.
atmosphere necessary to complete tn,
picture is the place.
Counterfeit tickets for admission I,
the arena have turned up in the hands o
innocent purchasers who state that the!
bought them in other nearby cities. Tn,
tickets are but poor copy of the rea
steel engraved admission cards and ar,
not likely to cause trouble to the gat,
keepers on Friday.
The button and picture card vende
is also present in force as well as th
promoter of all kinds of games of chanc,
in which the player takes about 9t
per cent of chances.
The police have taken cognizance o
this particular angle and have issue,
orders that the wheel, dice and playinl
card must be conspicuous by their alb

Toledo, July =.
t.70HE on" remarked today an
- eminent boxing critic, who is
backing Dempsey, "cannot beat the
tiger.
"No." remdrked an aroused Willard
supporter. "but the elephant can"
AS it is generally agreed that Demp-
sey possesses all the fighting qualities
belonging to the man eater which drifts
, through Indias matted jungles, the
question now before the house seems
to be about this--is Jess Willard an OK
or an elephant?
| If he is an OK, or an adjunct of that
species. he is going to know very soon
for the first time in his life how it feels
to recline in the resin, a huddled rem
nant of bygone glory, as faint and far
away he hears the fatal count that
clocks off his career.
If he is an elephant. blessed with
the attributes of that ponderous animal,
he will very likely win.
! The mystery of this impending Jam
boree of jabs isn't Dempsey, but Will
lard.
Willard the Real Mystery
! Every one knows what Dempsey is
fast, young, powerful boxer in great
condition with furnishing punch. a
hectic hook and a wicked wallop. You
can read him as he stands and shifts
a bronze machine of speed and power
the best 200 pound boxer in the world.
1t is Willard who has them guessing.
The OK cannot beat the tiger, but the
elephant can. Which is Willard? Ok
Or elephant? Attempting to win with
sheer weight and power, or capable OF
being aroused to an elephantine fury
that can clear out young jungle in
its rush?
| While we have studied very little wild
life in its native state, the impression
we draw at this sultry date is that
Willard comes much closer to being ar
elephant than an OK.
Like the elephant he is ponderous
sedate and slow to wrath. There is
nothing nimble about his body or his
brain. But neither is he numbering

and mentally, that carries him steadily

Jess Plans Own Fight
Willard began pointing himself fol-
this fight nearly three months ago. He
has, all this time, been his own man
ager, his own trainer, his own condi
tioner-and when he gets into the ring
he will fight his own fight, unless
Jack Dempsey has enough to upset his
plans.
Jess has handled himself with at leas
good average intelligence in physical
way, while in financial way, like Jacl
Kearns, he has left a record for Wal
street to inspect for future profit.
The champion admits today that hi
has turned out the job exactly as hi

Thompson proved anything but a

from which club Washington secured
