Rain added to the general traffic distress.
 An effort to reach an agreement between the Interboro officials and the strike leaders will be made this afternoon at a conference with Pub lie Service Commissioner Nixon. MT. Nixon expressed the hope that a com promise might be effected, basing his hope on a statement attributed to President Connolly of the Brother hood that although the men made de- mands for an increase of 50 per cent. in wages, the strike would no thave been called had the company offered raise of 20 per cent. In the unsuc- cessful negotiations last week, a ten per cent. increase was offered.

REMOVAL OF
PILINC BONE
CONTENTION
County Commissioners Will
Insist That Temporary
Piling be Pulled and Not
Cut Off.

Opening of the bridge across Bayou
Chico. which has been rushed in order
to allow the steel ship Cushnoc to pass
out to the open sea, has been delayed
because of the failure of the contrac-
tors. il is reported, the Converse Bridge
company to remove pilings of the tenn
porary wooden structure. The bridge
itself is practically completed.
Instead of pulling the piling the con-
tracing firm had planned to cut them
off at the mud line, according to Gus
Soderlind. of the county bridge COM
mittee. This would mean, according
10 figures compiled by Mr.. Soderlind,
an expenditure of barely $40, while
the Job of removing them entirely
would total an approximate cost of
$4,000. and would leave the county
liable for obstructing the channel.
The board will insist that the piling
be pulled. as their presence in the
bayou would render the passage of
ships unsafe.

DEMPSEY EXPECTS
HE SAYS TO BE A
POPULAR CHAMP

Toledo. o., July 6.-There was a diff
ference of Sc pounds in the weight Of
Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey when
they entered the ring for their heavy
weight championship contest Friday.
1t was revealed today the new cham
pion weighed 1877 pounds while Will
lard scaled 243 at ring time. Winning
the worlds championship had no eff
feet on Dempsey today He acted as
If he knew it was coming to him and
he exhibited not the slightest bit of
surprise.
Il am going to try and be a popular
champion" Jack said. Il believe the
public wants a champion who will de-
fend his title frequently and I intend
to be that kind of champion | be-
lieve, however. that 1 am entitled 10
take a rest 1 want to lay off boxing
for six or eight months. But I will
fight just as soon as a man considered
a contender is found"
Willard has definitely retired from
the ring. He will devote his entire
attention to his oil interests. The de-
feated champion said today rumors
that he was severely injured and that
he was taken to a hospital were gross
exaggerations. The only injury he suf-
fered was a deep cut over the eye and
a badly cut mouth. He did not loose
any teeth, nor was his jaw fractured,
as reported
Dempsey asserted that he had no
feeling toward Willard except that Of
admiration.
Boxing is a business with both of
US, and Willard proved himself a game
square fellow all through the fight. He
took an awful beating and certainly
proved his gameness.
