CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT ID BE STAGED IN
 TWENTY-FOOT RING.
Jack and Jess to Fight in Arena Smaller Than tise Regulation Pro-
 portions

Toledo. June 13.-Jess Wi4lard and Jack Dempsey will meet in their worlds heavyweight championship con test here July 4, in 20-foot ring in- stead of the regulation 24-foot en- closure. This announcement was made by Tex Rickard promoter of the con. test, tonight after he had obtained the consent of both men. Rickard said that reducing the size of the ring will the ringside to install additional press seats, the demand for which has ex. ceeded all expectations.
 ''You can make it IS feet square for all I care" was Dempsey's reply to Richards proposal.
 When Willard heard of the challen- gers remarks he said:
 "It doesn't make any difference to me what size you make the ring The smaller it is the harder it will be for Dempsey to get away from me-"
 Willard did his boxing for the first time today attired in fighting trunks instead of the full length tights he has worn heretofore and there was 8 murmur of admiration from the crowd of 1500. persons when he climbed through the ropes When Willard started tugging at the weights the crowd surged toward the ring to care fully inspect his waistline, which has been concealed from public eye for three years. There was a slight roll of fat just above the kidneys, but Willard explained that he can easily remove this poundage in the remaining three weeks of his training period.
 JESS CLOSE TO WEIGHT
 It was revealed today that the cham pion is close to his fighting weight and that he expects to enter the ring weighing about 245 pounds, which will make him four and half pounds light CT than when he fought Jack Johnson at Havana. Willard sealed 252 pounds after the workout yesterday. He hay reduced about 15 pounds since his rival here two weeks ago
 Willard boxed eight rounds this aft. ernoon, tugged at the weights for round. and shadow boxed He was dripping wet with precipitation as he left the ring. Walter Monahan and Jack Hempel went three rounds each and Bill Ketchel the new addition to the sparring staff went two rounds. Willard dug a left hook into Ketchers stomach in the first round and he folded up like knife. Jess walked away to give him a minutes rest.
 Dempsey did not take on the gloves again today. but went through his paces before a big crowd. His dam aged eye may be sufficiently healed to permit boxing Sunday.

DEPORTATION OF
 REPRESENTATIVES,
 OF SOVIET URGED
By Associated Press

Washington, June 13.-Deportation of l.. C. A. K. Martens and other rep resentatives of the Russian soviet bu- renu in New York was requested in letters sent today by Senator King. of Utah, to Attorney General Palmer and Secretary Wilson.
 Tt is time" Senator King wrote, that these disturbers of our~peace and enemies of our country and civi1iza- ton should be driven from this land whose hospitality they have so griev- ously abused"
 There are thousands of Russian aliens in the United States who are enemies to our government and give support to the bolshevist autocracy. sible against this government and seek it's overthrow. Certainly the repre- sentatives of Lenine and Trotzky. who come here avowing their connection with the bolshevist organization, should be deported from the United States. As matter of fact, if the os5icials duty, they would not, in my opinion, have been admitted to our shores"
 Senator King called attention to laws excluding from the United States of alien anarchists and said there is no question but that the representatives of the Lenine-T -Trotzky organization come within one or more of the classes defined in the statute"

Ask MT. Hard
Fire Insurance Rates in Alabama, as Fixed by the Trust, Are Too High
 and Must Be Reduced

A man living in Des Mones, Iowa, in a one-story, shinge roof dwelling had his furniture insured for one thousand dollars (S1000) for $40 for one year.
 He moved to Birmingham, Ala, and the same company which had insured him in Des Moines for $40 wanted $14.50 for insuring in Birmingham the same furniture for the 5000 for the same man, and the dwelling in which the furniture was placed in Birmingham better risk from an insurance standpoint than the dwelling in Des Moines.
 Since that time the cost of the insurance has in- creased to S1S13 per thousand in Birmingham, and there has been no increase in the hazard sim ply an increase in the appetite of the trust, which Is unsuitable.
 Why does man have to pay over seven times as much for insurance in Birmingham as he does in Des Mones?
 One reason is that we have an insurance trust in active operation in Birmingham and there is not so much competition here as in Des Moines.
 The only forces which profiteers fear are the strong arm of the law and active competition The present laws against trusts should be en- forced and more stringent ones enacted.
 Competition should be encouraged by laws authorizing the operation of non-trust companies and encouraging the establishment of them. Those who suffer from the operations of the trust should place their business with non-trust com @ V panies.

German Designs on Austria

IL is clear one Of the first aims of the
new German government will be to Sc
cure the annexation to Germany of Ger
man Austria. Chancellor Scheidemann
expressed this idea somewhat cautiously
when he said, in an interview in the
Berlin Zeitung am Mittag"
The policy Of new Germany must be
based, not, as Bismarck planned, on oppo-
sition to, but in harmony with, Austria;
not on the slender pillar of egotistical
might of a single federal government, but
on the broad democratic basis Of the
united Will OF all the German tribes"
He also said in his speech to the Wei
mar assembly that if the Wilson pro-
gramme were followed Germany would
be the fatherland "of all who desired to
be Germans
DR.. Ludo Hartmann, the Austrian
Ambassador to Germany, is more ex-
plicit He said in Munich the other dav:
lin Austria are 100000 Germans liv-
ing IN territory contiguous to Germany.
They may be properly joined to Germany
without making new and fantastic from
tiers There are 100000 Germans in
Austria and 100000 in Bohernia.o
Thus the German politicians are al
ready counting on annexing portion Of
the new Czecho-Slovak state. as we'll az
all the provinces (some of them with con-
siderable non-German minorities) which
constitute German Austria.
