WILLARD MEETS DEMPSEY JULY
 ARRANGED

NEW YORK. Feb. 4.-Jack kearns, manager for Jack Dempsey, tonight reached an oral agreement with '"TeX Rickard whereby he matched Dempsey to meet Jess Willard for S27,500, and one-third of the motion picture rights. The time and place of the match were not fixed.
 Both Kearns and Rickard agreed to post s5,OO0 when the agreement is signed on Dempsey's arrival here from Salt Lake. Rickard will post 70 per cent of Dempsey's share, 60 days before the bout.
 Kearns offered to match Dempsey against Willard for one-third of the s100,000 the champion is to receive, but Rickard refused to pay s33,333 to the Salt Lake heavyweight and countered with a proposition of s25,000 and one third of the moving picture rights. Kearns reduced his terms to S33,OO0 and Rickard raised his to s27 500, and when the deadlock had continued some time, Rickard suggested that the size of Defnpsey's share of the purse be left to several newspaper men present. A blind ballot was taken and Rickard' s figures won, almost three to one.
 An agreement was reached that legal terms would be drawn up and the con- tract signed. as soon as Dempsey reach es this city, probably not later than Friday.
 Willard and Dempsey will have the | selection of the referee, who must be | agreeable to Rickard, and in case tne two fighters cannot agree, the promo ter will then name his choice, which 1 will be final. Rickard said that under 1 no circumstances would he act as the referee. as he did in the Johnson-Je ries fight in Reno on July 4, 1910.
 No date or place for the bout, which under the contract calls for not more ] than 40 rounds, has been settled, but Rickard expects to put on the bout or July 1. He has until March 25 to an nounce the site. Tickets will probably range from $10 to $50.
 Under the present agreement, the to- tai amount of the purse reaches $127,.
 300, the largest sum ever offered for puSillstic encounter as it is $6,500 nor,
 than the Johnson and Jeffries purse.
 No value can be fixed upon the mov
 ing picture rights at present. Tn
 syndicate of moving picture men wh
 paid $15O,O0G for five -sixths of tn
 Johnson-J Jeffries rights, collected. sS75, VVU Oit lllcH

TR|BUNE-FORD CASE
 MAY BE POSTPONED

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 4.-Probabil- ity of a further postponement of the trial of the million dollar libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tribune by Henry Ford, was strengthened today by the minute detail in which docu- mentary evidence was introduced in argument on the motion of the news paper for a change of venue.
 The defendant contends that the prominence of MT. Ford would tend to bias prospective jurors, if the case, set for February 10, is tried in Detroit.
 The greater part of the two days have been consumed by attorneys for the Tribune in presenting their case, and much documentary evidence re- mains to be introduced. Two motions by the plaintiff, one requiring presen- tation of the files of the Tribune for the period of the war, and another permitting the taking of depositions throughout the country. also are to be heard.
 Several witnesses testified today as to the extent of the Ford Motor com pany business in Detroit, and editors of Detroit newspapers were questioned in an attempt to shoWsthat< nos. all ] publications here are favorable to =he nlzfptiff 1

The vice president, since establishing a winter home at Scottsdale, has addressed at least two of the Church Brotherhoods, and all who heard him at these dinners vote him the most inspiring speaker they ever listened to on such an occasion. The honored guest has a special mes sage for church men and is at his best when addressing them
 All those who are interested in Christian unity are asked to identify themselves with this Saturday Lunch club as it is the only practical time to get 10 to 20 members of the various churches together at one time. The evening meetings have been tried re- peatedly and have never had large or representative attendance.
 All welfare work, such as the Asso- ciated Charities, the Anti-tuberculosis association, etc, should be backed by the united support of the churches There is much work for the Fedora ted Churches of Phoenix during these re- construction days and if the church fails here and elsewhere during these testing days, other organizations will 1 take up the work and receive the bless ing for real service to humanity. The lunches in the future will be s1 per month, except when there are five ! Saturdays. when s1.25 will be collected from each member at the first meeting of the month.
