LAWMAKERS ARE TRYING ID PUT
 STOP ID FIGHT

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 20.-A resolution asking the governor oi Ohio to prevent the championship fight between Willard and Dempsey was passed by the lower house of the state legislature yesterday after noon and has been sent to the senate for approval. Those responsible for the introduction of the measure claim that they have secured the support of numerous members of the senate, but it is by no means certain that the resolution will carry in the upper chamber. Op- position to the eleventh-hour anti fight movement is very strong.

that formal request is now being formulated for presentation to the Allied conference
 Whether or not the establishment of a new government in Germany will influence the Allies to consider a request for further time for the consideration of terms, cannot be stated at this time. Members of the conference refuse to discuss the situation and it is presumed that no action will be taken, one way or the other until the receipt of a formal request from the proper au- thorities.
 In the meantime, preparations continue to be made in this country and in German occupied territory to resume hostilities in case of a refusal of the delegates to sign the treaty before tomorrow night. Sentiment against the granting of further time is very pronounced throughout France.

 LEPROSY CAN BE CURED

HONOLULU, T. H.-Leprosy can be cured, in some cases, if subject ed to medical treatment while still in the first stages, according to J. D. McVeigh, superintendent of the leper colony on the island of Molo- kali
 In speaking to a party of terri torial legislators who inspected the Molokai colony recently, Dr. Me Weigh said:
 "If we can get it in the early stages there are great chances for arresting or even curing leprosy. Medical science recently has made great strides in the study of leprosy, and in the past few months we have paroled 19 inmates"

 SALVE STEAMER

VICTORIA, B. C., June 20.- Questioned today regarding the plans of the Canadian Pacific company in connection with the wrecked steamship Sophia, which foundered in Lynn canal last October, Captain Troup, local representative of the company, stated that the United States federal court virtually owend the Sophia now, the company having surrendered all claim to the vessel at the time of the filing of suit for limitation of liability.
 Captain Troup also stated that ar engagements had been made by the court for the salvaging of the ship by the Deep Sea Salvaging company, which is now at work on the wreck.
 The surrendering of the vessel in the manner stated, was done for the purpose of limiting the liability of the company for losses sustained, to the value of the ship.

MAY DELAY SETTLEMENT

PARIS, June 2O.-Acceptance by the king of Italy of Orlando's resig- nation, will necessitate an indefinite postponement of the settlement of the Adriatic question and probably result also in the sending of new Italian peace delegation to Paris. But the most disturbing feature of the Italian upheaval is the fact that there is no one now to sign the German peace treaty for the Italians. Un,ess Orlando is prevailed upon to ketain his office, or a successor is named, it will be necessary for the king of Italy to designate a special representative to attach the official signature on Monday.

CAVALRY HORSES
 PREFER AMERICAN
 TO MEXICAN FODDER

FORT BLISS, Tex. American cavalry horses seemingly prefer the daily diet of corn and alfalfa hay to the prospects of scanty feed in the campaigns which the Mexican federal army is preparing to make in the deserts of Northern Mexico. They showed this plainly when $50 of the 1000 cavalry horses which were sold from the remount station here to the Mexican government re- turned from 'Juarez after they had been driven across the Rio Grande at the Weber ford.
 Before the horses scould be cor raled in the stockyards at Juarez, $50 of them recrossed the river and returned to the remount station. They were loaded into stock cars and sent back to Juarez by rail for reshipment to Chihuahua city. These horses were bought and trained at the remount station here for the use of the American cavalry over seas, but were not needed. They will be used to mount the Mexican infantry for the new campaign against Villa.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20. There are indications that mem bers of the upper house of Congress who are opposing the League of Nations covenant may abandon their efforts to force a test vote in the senate before the Germans have made known their intentions regard ing the treaty which awaits their ac- ceptance or rejection.
 It is stated today that the Re publicans have virtually abandoned the hope of securing roll call on the Knok resolution providing for a separation of the treaty from the league proposition.

VILLA ASSURES ERWIN YANKEES
 SAFE IN SOUTH

FL PASO, June 20.--General James Erwin is in receipt of assur- ances from Francisco Villa that re- prisals are not being planned by the Mexican rebels. 4 courier ar irving her today from the Villa camp in the south brings the promise of the brigand lealer that nc fears need be entertained regarding the safety of Americans on the Mexi- can sidH
 The message, whic. was dis patched by General Angeles, would like to know, however, what excuse the American soldiers had for cross ing the line and giving chase to the Villista troops. Angeles states that his forces endeavored to avoid shooting across the Rio Grande and tried to keep the fighting away from the border.
 The Americans, in the opinion of the brigand leader, had no call to rush to the assistance of the Carranza troops, or to interfere in any manner with the battle in progress between the rival Mexican forces at Juarez.

MEN WHO VOTED
 ID START ROAD
 EXPECT HONORS

SEATTLE, June 20.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Seattle Times is authority for the state ment that members of Congress who gave their support to the bill au- thorizing the President to expend thirty-five million dollars in the con- struction of a government railroad in Alaska are hopeful that they ultimately will receive much praise for thus making the development of the northern territory possible.
 These men, whose confidence in Alaska has not been shaken by events which have transpired since the commencement of work on the railroad, are hopeful that the royal ties from Alaska's coal and oil lands will pay back the cost of the rail- road within a few years.
 Members of the geological survey believe that the passage of the pen-l- ing coal and oil land leasing bill will be the forerunner of great oil development in Alaska.

PARIS, June 20.-The collapse of the Scheidemann government is re- ported in official advices received in this city today from Berlin, where new government is in process of formation, with Gustav Noske, min ister of defense, directing the oper- ation. The reports indicate that the new government will accept the Allied peace terms, which are said to have been approved already by the German national assembly. Scheidemann is said to have been responsible for much of the opposi- tion to the terms, his firm stand against signing the treaty having resulted finally in his retirement.
 More Time Wanted
 The collapse of the Scheidemann regime has given the Germans an excuse for asking an extension of time for the consideration of the peace terms and it is understood
