CURLEY AND JONES SETTLE WILLARD ROW
 WITHOUT FILING SUIT

CHICAGO, April 12.-Jack Curley and Tom Jones held a peace confer ence with Jess Willard, champion heavyweight pugilist, and settled their differences, it was announced tonight It was understood that the two man. agers settled for half the amount they sued Willard in New York. The suit, which demanded S20,00O. was filed on the grounds that Willard had fired" them. thus terminating a contract which they alleged had several months to run.
 The suit was taken out of court a number of months ago on a technical ity. Curley and Jones had threatened to file further proceedings, but it was generally understood that all parties were willing to get together. None of the principals wished to make an eXac, statement of the terms of the agree ment but it was said Willard's checks were in the hands of Curley and Jones tonight.
 Willard, who is in Chicago to take the part of the hero in four reel western movie drama, said he knew nothing about the site of his coming fight for the heavyweight champions ship with Jack Dempsey.
