ALL THE NEVIS WHEN
 IT IS NEWS WRITTEN BY EXPERTS
DEMPSEY WILL
 REPORT TODAY

Toledo, O., May 16-Official sane ton for the heavyweight champion ship battle between Jess Willard ana Jack Dempsey, scheduled to be fought at Bayview Park here on July 4. was given by the Toledo Boxing Commission yesterday. Apernit was issued to G. I. Thacher and his brother, representing the Toledo Ath- letic Club.
 The permit, calling for a twelve round contest to g. decision. bears the signature of Mayor Schreiber, Chief Wall, Director of Public Safety and head of the Boxing Commission. and the remaining five members. This ac- tfon removes all speculation as to what the commission would do in re-. gard to sanctioning the contest.
 The actual construction of the arena, which. according to present plans, will have a seating capacity of 50,00Q persons, was started today. Tex Rickard, promoter of the contest. drove the first half doen spikes in the framework of the huge structure. Because Toledo lumber dealers were unable to furnish the large amount of material required the date for completing the arena has been set back from ten to twenty days, depend ing upon the arrival of materials. HunOreOS or WaSOnlOdQS or plankS were brought to the 600 acre site The first major reserva tionS of seats were made today. Officials of the aMumee River Yacht Club gave Rick ard a certified check for S3,5O0, which will go for s25 and s1O seats for club members. Sportsmen of Columbus, Ohio, also placed an order for 400 seats. They plan to make the trip in special trains.
 Because he feared tickets might fall into the possession of scalpers Rick ard today refused a check for S20.- 900 worth of seats. He declined to reveal the name of the prospective purchaser.
 Formal protest against the heavy weight battle was filed last night with Mayor Schreiber by the Toledo Min isteria1 Union, an organization of 25o churches. Copies of the protest were

mailed to Gov. Cox at Columbus and John F. Matthias, Sheriff of Lucas county. These officials were asked to prevent the contest.
 The protest said that the contest would result in an invasion of gam blers, thieves and thugs to Toledo; that it would teach youths to ''see red" and that the record and public statements of the fighters justify the expectation that we are to have a gladiatorial contest worthy of the Ro- man arena of infamous memory"
 Dempsey had not arrived late last night but is expected today to select a site for his training camp.

Quite a week for no-hit games. There already have been three. Hod Eller of the Reds, started it with a no-hit victory over the Cardinals last Sunday. Eddie Rommel, Giant rookie, with the Newark Bears, was the next to turn the trick. In the Interna- tional opening in Toronto last Monday, he pitched a no-hit game over Gibson's Maple Leafs. Wednesday Jordan of the Buffa- loes splashed a no-hit white washing over the Jersey Citys.

The Giants this spring are smash ing attendance records for the Polo Grounds. It is estimated that close to 135, ,00O people saw the Giants play their first eight games at home. The opening series with the Phillies drew GO, ,0OO-1 900 to the opening game. 10000 to the first Saturday game and 1000 to the first Sunday game. The two game series with the Braves drew 25,000. Last Tuesday, the day on which the 77th Division held it's parade, the attendance was 1s,00O. The next day it fell to 1000, the only gathering of the year under 10000. The three games with the Cubs have been played to two crowds of 1 4,000 and one of 10000. With a day like last Tuesday or Wednesday it is safe to say Father Duffy day would have drawn 25,0O0 instead of 10000. Never in baseball history have such attend ance figures been approached.
 The two teams that trained at home this year, the Philadelphia Attn letics and St. Louis Cardinals, are showing it. The As haven't scored a run in 27 successive innings. When the St. Louis Brownies hold a team runless for Is innings, something is wrong.

CAROLINA SPECIAL
PARTLY WRECKED
Northbound Train Drives Into Open
Switch at St. Matthews.
Engineer Senseny's Presence of Mind
and Quick Work Saves LOSS of
Life.

St. Matthews, July 5.-Driving in
to an open switch at good speed pas
senger train 27, better known as
the "Carolina Special" north bound,
was wrecked here today about noon
and a number Of persons injured. The
train was in charge of Conductor
Keckley, with Engineer II. G. Sense
ny at the throttle. But for the Won
oerful presence of mind and quick
work of Mr.. Senseny a number of
dead would surely have been the toll
The train was coming into the town
limits, and the engineer had just
sounded the station signals. He states
that when within about hundred
yards Of the switch, he noticed that
the bed slide was out. He signalled
to railway hanc standing nearby
to close it and at the same time cut
off the engine and applied the emer-
gency brake. Seeing that his engine
was going to strike some box cars
standing near deep embankment, he
jumped, and was followed by his fire
man. The train crashed into the box
cars, demolishing a number of them
and completely wrccking the engine.
A train hand with the work train
on the siding was seriously injured, be
ing seveerly cut about the head. A
number of the passengers were slight
~ bruised and badly shaken. Engi-
neer Senseny and fireman were Sc
verely bruised in their jump. Scores
Of people were Immediately on the
scene and the injured were rushed in
to town to local infrmary and placed
in charge Of the local railway sur
geon.
1t is pretty clearly established that
the train hand who threw the switch
open did it under the stress of excite
ment. He is said to have stated that
upon seeing the approaching train he
looked up and saw the red signal fac
ing him. He Immediately threw and
opened it, thinking he was closing it.
The material damage to rolling sock
is heavy.

ELSIE FERGUSON'S
NEW PICTURE BASED
ON STAGE SUCCESS
Under the Greenwood Tree" Was
First Produced in London
in 1907.

The policy of Aircraft to pcturiZe
leading stage successes and novels,
has met with unequivocal success.
When "Under the Greenwood Tree
was selected for Elsie Ferguson, the
beautiful Aircraft star, it was readily
conceded that it afforded Miss Fer
guson one of the finest portrayals of
her screen career.
"Under the Greenwood Tree" which
will be shown at the Pastime Theatre
newt MONDAY, JULY ID is based
upon play written by Henry V. Es-
mond, leading actor and playwright
of London. The play was produced in
that city in 1907 and on December
20, 1908, it was staged at the Gar
rick theatre in New York with Maxine
Elliott in the stellar role. The play
scored big hit and later toured the
country with splendid results artisti-
ca]ly and financially.
The story of "Under the Green
wood Tree" deals with young Eng
lish woman of great wealth and high
social position, who becomes disgust
cd with social life and yanities and
yearns for the simple life. She ac-
cordingly quits her station and goes
to The New Forest where she lives the
life of gypsy until by a queer COM
cination of circumstances, humorous
and dramatic, she meets the man of
her choice and under the spell of love
finds that happiness and contentment
which wealth alone could not insure
Miss Ferguson is finely supported
by competent players, her leading
man being Eugene O'Brien, young
actcr of prominence in the profession.
The play was adapted for the screen
BY Adrian Gil-Spear and the dircc-
tor was Emile Chautard

BIG WAGE, LITTLE
WORK IS OFFERED
IN CITY OFFICES
SIPS to $3.50 for Few Hours
Work Per Day If Only J. C.
HarreII Would Vote Fright"
in County Court.

That the city administration In It's
desperate efforts to keep the machine
in working order and to increase its
power, is going to the extent Of trat-
ticking in the city offices and city IL
nances for political purposes is eNl-
denced by statement made by J. G
Harreu, corporation magistrate OF
Binghamton. who was recently offered
lucrative city office with little or no
work il he would vote right with the
administration in the county court.
Squire Harrell told the story without
reservation. He said that IL. o. True,
secretary and Republican member OF
the Shelby county election commission
and Republican leader in the fight
against the city manager form Of gov
ernment for Memphis, and c. B. Quinn,
vice mayor and fire and police COM
missioner and Republican leader, re
Gently called oh him with a political
proposition.
Squire Harrell said that Mr., True
did all the talking, but that Quinn was
present. True, he declared, in an in
direct way, felt him out as to his po-
litiCal affiliations and evidently think
ing that he was one of the waverng
members of the court. If there were
any, asked him if he would not train
with the minority in the county court
in order to make it a majority. Squire
Harrell said that he did not speak free
evidently thought he was receptive to
their propositions. The result Of this
view was that Mr. True told the squire
that if he would vote right he could
procure a job in the city clerks office
at a salary ranging between $125 and
$3.50 month, presumably $135 month,
1t was also explained that he would
not have to be on the job more than
few hours a day to keep his name
on the pay roll at the stipulated sum
In retu.l. he gathered from the two.
he was to vote right was to vote
for a low county tax rate and to be
right" when the vote came up on
the proposition of fixing the salaries
of the election commissioners. True is
secretary of the election commission
and draws a fat salary for few weeks
work during the year and fears that
this salary may be cut by the county
court.
The city clerks office is directly un-
der the mayor, and True and Quinn
would have no right to traffic in jobs
in that department. unless the mayor
agrees.

PATRONS ESCAPE
JUNE RAISE, BUT
LOSE FOR JULY
City and Telephone Company
Compromise Litigation.-AII
Increases Already Paid for
June Will Be Refunded.

Notwithstanding the fact that at
torneys for the telephone companies
and the postmaster general, the city
attorney and attorney for the customers
OF the phone companies who sought
to enjoin the companies from raising
rates under orders from the postmaster
general, had failed to compromise the
suit Tuesday, an agreement Of COM
promise was reached Wednesday MORN
ing in chaneery court which saves to
the customers Of the company the sum
Of approximately $4,000
Under the provisions of the compro-
mise the government will not collect
the increase Of 81 for business phones
and SO cents for residence phones for
the month of June and will refund or
credit on future bills all increases al
ready collected during that month July
Dllls VIII be collected upon the increased
basis but payments may be made under
protest to protect the rights of the
customers in case, the matter is further
ltigated. That leaves the way open
for a further possible saving to the
patrons.
If you want to pay your July ac-
count under protest, have your receipt
from the company marked paid under
protest" or ii you pay by check write
on your check, "for July, 1919, telephone
bill paid under protest"
The compromise also protects all per-
sons whether party to the suit or not.
IL President Wilson signs this month
the bill recently passed by congress au-
thorizing the government to turn back
the properties Of the telephone comba-
mes to the private owners, federal cbn-
troll of all lines will terminate at mid
night on July 81 and the companies
will resume complete possession, super
vision and control of the properties
When that occurs the status OF the pa
irons and that Of the Cumberland Tel
ephone and Telegraph company will be
determined by the laws in effect at that
time.
The Cumberland company contends
that 1t has more than 10000 stations
and that under it's contract with the
city when more than 10000 stations
have been installed, the contract with
the city then in effect is void and
new contract must be drawn. II. ].
Livingston, city attorney, contends that
the company has not exceeded 10000
stations as claimed. He contends that
they are counting extensions which
we're not contemplated as stations at
the time VI the making OF the contract
@ II " Is held that the company has
more than 10000 stations the corpora
ton will contend for the advanced rate
after July / under a new contract; 10
not, the rate goes back to the rate In
effect before Postmaster General Bur
Ieson raised the rates on June l. The
telephone gcompany will then have to
take the matter Of increased rates be-
fore the state public utilities commits
sion in order to get an increase In
rates. They win be unable to get
hearing before the state commission be-
fore September and in the meantime
more litigation may arise between the
city and the phone company over the
matter of the validity of the present
contract, based on the number Of sta
tions the company now has.

Ratification of the peace treaty by
the German national assembly removes
an doubt of the acceptance of the terms
The national assembly by ratifying
the treaty makes it possible for the al
lied and associated powers to raise
the blockade. Official notification was
sent Germany June 20 thatfhe blockade
would be raised when the treaty was
ratified. Placing this condition on the
reason of the blockade was looked upon
IN peace conference circles as a sure
plan for securing speedy ratification
by Germany.
The council of five on Monday de-
cided to lift the commercial Censorship
on communications with Germany sim.
ultaneously with the removal of the
blockade. '''e
When three of the principal allied
powers: In addition to Germany, have
ratified the treaty 1t becomes effective
for those who have ratified it. After
Germany and the three allied powers
have ratified it, the treaty will come
into force for each other power on the
day when 1t notifies the peace con-
ference secretariat of its ratification.
The, resolution adopted by the allied
. council concerning the blockade was
as follows:
THE superior blockade council is In
! Structed to base its arrangements for
resembling restriction upon trade with
. Germany upon the assumption that the
allied and associated powers will not
wait to raise the blockade until the
completion of ratification, as provided
for at the end of the treaty with Ger
.lnany, but that it is to be raised inn
8mediately upon receipt of information
that the treaty of peace has been rati-
fled by Germany"
