[RepubiIcan A. p. Leased wirel

HoLBoRN STADIUM, Ringside,
London, Fig, Dec. Georges Car
pentier, the French champion,
knocked out Joe Beckett champion OF
England, tonight in a brief and de-
cidedly one-sided fight for the heavy
weight championship of Europe.
Seventy-four seconds as announced
by the official timer, sufficed to de-
eide whether Carpenter or Beckett
should meet Jack Dempsey, the Amer
lean heavyweight, for the champion
ship of the world next June. From
the moment the referee b. J. Angelo,
called time, Carpenter had the battle
entirely in his own hands. Beckett
never had a chance of hitting the
agile Frenchman, who landed blows
with enormous strength whenever he
felt inclined.
Amid absolute stiffness, most of the
spectators could hear the terrific
crack of the swing that put Beckett
70 sleep. There was a roar of cheer
ing as Carpenter assisted Beckett to
his corner where the Englishman
opened his astonished eyes and saw
his opponent being carried on the
shoulders of the enthusiastic crowd
around the ring-and the Frenchman
was smiling happily.
The contestants presented a notable
difference in appearance when they

Beckett seemed somewhat nervous.
Peers and peeresses, members of the
house Of commons, high officials OF
state, many women, most of them in
evening gowns, and the Prince OF
Wales looked the fighters over criti-
cally as they squared up.
As fight. the contest was not spec
tacular. Carpenter was fast on his
feet, dancing in and out and playing
havoc with the Englshman from the
first lead. With lightning swiftness

Much interest is being manifested in
the bout owing to the previous records

The president of the organization,
John Albertus, a Finn, is a fugitive

them that of obtaining money under
false pretenses. Disclosures have es-

AS a result of a raid. hundreds of

The working plan of the chief but

That the contest will be hard fought

given.
Mrs. Sullivan went through all the
requirements OF the society. baking nj
nothing outside of actually being led TO
the altar by a persistent sutton of an
other nationality who she remembers
only as Garlic and believes to have
been a vegetarian.
Arthur ]. BarnacIe. an electrical en-
gineer, living at the Y. NJ. c. A., was
one of the victims of the society. He
saws he met and married Mrs. Ida G.
Halliday through membership in the
organization But Mrs. Barnacle re-
fused to live up to the family name
and stick to the ship of matrimony.
She deserted him. he says. soon after
the wedding when she learned he was
not a millionaire"
Large numbers of women, Mrs. Sui
Ivan says, were gathered into the
temple by Albertus by advertising
in newspapers for a housekeeper. The
advertisement asked for an ablebodied
single woman to fill a position as
housekeeper for a single gentleman
and drew numerous replies from wo-
men. These replies were answered
promptly by Albertus with letter ad-
vising each applicant to become a
member of the New Hope and thereby
obtain a position as housekeeper-and
| incidentally as wife also.
The organization gave advice on do
nestle happiness and aided its mem
| bers in winning their mates, no mat
! ter under what handicaps. Some of
the letters taken in the raid are mis-
spelled. The society, evidently having
recognized this. says in a pamphlet:
| ut is hard matter for an educated
| lady to fall in love with bad spelling,
and goes on to warn the writers
against such errors in long distance
courtship. Another pamphlet an
nounoes that members will be intro
duced to persons of considerable
means and to people in all stages of
society" 1t promiess secrecy an6
success and generously adds that "any
voluntary offering after you are mar
ried is left to your good will"
That the organization is broad" is
shown by the following, which, with a
picture of pretty woman, adorns the
walls at headquarters:
If I should marry man of fifty,
To love him l would strive,
But would it not be far more thrifty
To marry two at twenty five?
To enjoy the second degree of the
society one went upstairs to a room
in which the chairs were arranged ir
i pairs, with here and there a sofa large
enough for two persons. Here one was
i privileged to meet his future mate anc
! even to hold his or her hand during
the second degree lovemaking.
One rule OF the society said: Gen
tlemen seeking rich ladies should re.
member that they require lavish en-.
tertainment and should avoid being
too close if success is expected"

NO SLASH IN WAGES
WITHIN FIVE YEARS
SAYS LABOR LEADER

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Dec. 3.-While
organized labor seeks a decrease in the
cost of living, it will not consent to
any reduction in wages for period of
at least five years, according to a
statement made today by James P.
Holland of the state federation of
labor.
The cost of food, clothing and rent
must come down first, Mr.. Holland
said, and under no conditions can the
workers of America be expected ever
to drop back to the wage level of pre-
war days when they were ridiculous
" underDaid."

NEW YORK. Dec. 3-Progress in
use of kerosene. crude oil and other
substitutes for gasoline. was reported
today at the annual meeting of the
American Society of Mechanical En-
glneers.
A kerosene motor would be success
full, in the opinion of Lawrence F.
Seaton of Lincoln, Neb., if designed so
that the piston displacement were
larger than commonly used; if the in
take passages were larger and shorter,
and If the incoming gas were heated
to a temperature considerably higher
than the boiling point Of kerosene.

type of engine which uses crude oil
had possibilities of being made as
small as one and one half horsepower
for use in farm tractor work and small
electric power generating.

speaking tongue in his head. Writ

criticism of the peace treaty he
says:
tThe peace conditions are not
harder than I expected. They were
unpleasant to the greater part of
the people. But could one really
have expected them otherwise?
''The Germans have not given very
convincing mental guarantees dur
ing the six months since the revolu-
tion that they have changed their
system; on the contrary the present
government and the press have US
ed the same of incitement, the same
trick of bluff as under the old rule
of the petty nobility.
The governments proclamation
and speeches are only bad copies
of the Kaiser's time. The whole
press resounds in protests and has
started a campaign of judgement
against the allies couched in violent
language. 1t is agitating for re.
