CARPENT|ER SENDS
DIRECT CHALLENGE
To JACK DEMPSEY
tsr so"~'rO JOURNAL sr,erAl LEASED w,.p

New York, Dec. 1.-THE direct
challenge issued by Georges Carpenter
to Jack Dempsey to fight for the
worlds heavyweight championship
virtually assures a match during the
coming year. The American title
holder has expressed his willingness
to face the French boxer and there
remains only the agreement on the
terms and conditions to govern the
contest
When the articles of agreement
finally are signed it will be found
that all former purses and similar
inducements given to championship
heayyweights in the past will have
been dwarfed into insignificance by
the sums to be handed to the boxers
for the first international ring battle
of Importance in years. Johnson and
Jeffries divided $101, 900 for their
Reno bout and the Willard Dempsey
purse at Toledo amounted to nearly
$4,000. Dempsey and Carpenter
are quite likely to battle for purse
approximately twice as large as that
offered for the Willard Dempsey
match. The division probably will be
arranged upon sixty and forty per
cent basis, the larger share to go to
tHC WihleE UT the present lllle nOlQeT
as the agreement may call for.
Several American and European
fight promoters of strong financial
standing are already endeavoring to
sign the two heavyweights to binding
contracts. The rivalry to obtain their
signatures promises to furnish a bit
ter and exciting struggle in which
sums running into hundreds of thou
sands of dollars will be offered in turn |
by rival promoters.
The date of the bout can be set
down for Midsummer, but the loca-
ton of the ring is a matter of much |
speculation, Shrewd ring followers4
express doubt that England would |
supply the huge gate receipts neces- |
sary to finance successfully such |
match, as neither of the contestants |
would have the drawing power there
of a Briton. Owing to the intense |
French pride in the ring achieve
ments of Carpenter, France probably
would supply record gate, but there
is some doubt whether Dempsey
would agree TO box Carpenter there
unless certain restrictions were
placed in the articles of agreement.
The impression appears to be grow
ing in America that Carpenter will
prove to be one of the best opponents
to face Dempsey since the latter dom
ned gloves. The Frenchman, a ring
veteran of long experience, is credit
ed with being an exceedingly clever
boxer and a fast, hard hitting fighter

COAL SITUATION SERIOUS.
Fuel Committee of Winneshiek
County Issues Following Letter
To People.
To the people of Winneshiek coun

To the people of Winneshiek coun-
ty.
Charles Webster Fuel Administra-
tor of Iowa, writes US that the coal
situation is becoming very alarming
and the supply in many localities is
very low.
In some localities it will last but
few days, many families even now
are without coal, except such as can
be obtained from their neighbors
Those who are fortunate enough to
have plenty of coal in their cellars
and are able to heat their house, do
not fully realize or appreciate the
seriousness of the situation.
We earnestly request that the peo-
pie of ~Winneshiek county will see
the necessity to conserve every pound
of coal, and this should be done at
once, even though the strike is end
ed. or may be ended very soon, be-
cause at best, we cannot expect any
large shipments of coal for weeks, be-
cause there is no reserve, and be-
cause very little coal has been taken
out of the mines for sometime, which
condition has already made tremen-
dous shortage.
The Fuel Administration correct
ly say the strike is producing the
same result as an invading army, II
shuts off water, heat, light as well
as food supplies, and if the strike
should continue, it will throw thous-
ands out of employment, it will close
shops, schools as wen as-maay other
public places, in fact it will bring
hardship to every home in the coun-
try,
We earnestly suggest that those
who have wood will use it instead OF
coal for the time being at least. We
ask this community to see the
seriousness of the situation, because
we feel by united effort, by strict
conservation of coal, and in hopes
that the strike may be settled verye
soon, that we will in some way be
able to pull through this very criti-
cal time.
Very sincerely,
Euel Committaa of WinneShiek Co

flooded with water last week, On
Monday evening Mrs. j. j. Nc
Andrews while on her way home
thought she heard the sound of water
running in the house, and remarked
about 1t when she arrived home, but
thought perhaps the bathroom was
being used, not knowing the family
was absent from the house. Nothing
much was thought of the matter un-
TIL Wednesday, when Mrs. Nc
Andrews passed the house again she
still heard the sound of the water
She notified Mrs. e. w. Oxley, a
next door neighbor Of the Pfisters
and they went to the residence and
investigated and found that the
water was running through the
house. Mr.. Oxiey telephoned for a
plumber and when he arrived enter
ed the house with a skeleton key
and shut off the water. A small
break was found in pi1e on the
second floor attached to the. bath
tub. If it hadn't been discovered
when it was it u Aard to tell what
damage might nave occurred. As il
was the PAPER On some of the rooms
was ruined, and of course some oil
the furniture was soaked. About Is
inches OF water got into the cellar
also Mr.. and Mrs. Pfister were sent
for and arrived home the next day
Before they arrived their son ALVIN
came in from his farm ana mac
things pretty well cleaned up.
One thing to be remembered
when family leaves their home fol-
any length of time. water and gas
should be shut off entirely, and sucf
accidents will be averted.
