yesterday said he had sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Jimmy Bronson,
manager of Bob Martin, heavy

I'm justice TO Jack Dempsey
must demand that you cease imme-
diately your propaganda to boost
Bob Martin and to promote fight
between him and Carpenter by
sending out literature, false and
misleading, in which you are at
tempting to convey an impression
that Jack Dempsey was 4 draft
dodger and unfit to represent
America in titular battles.
II have in my possession a letter
you are sending broadcast quoting
unwarranted resolutions to show
Dempsey was draft dodger and
which you are using IN an effort tt
discredit Dempsey and using thu
American Legion in an effort tc
boost your fighter.
Your action is the most outra.
geous injustice ever attempted by q
manager and rival fighter. ReaI
sportsmen do not have to adop,
those methods, and If there are any
more moves like that ! will bs

CALESbURe TO
PLAY ISLAND 5
Saturday Nights Contest on 7 Floor
May Prove Better Than Last
as Lineup Change Result.
BIZ sSPHEROID SLIM

The high school basketball squad
will play Galesburg Saturday night
in the local Y. Some changes in
the lineup have been made and it
is not likely that anything such
as happened last Friday night will
occur again.
Henke has been changed to guard
and Sundeen who is now back in
school, was placed at center. 1t
is thought that these shifts will
prove to be a life saver for the
team. Henke has not been show
ing up as we'll as he might at the
pivot position but it is expected that
he will do better at guard. Les
Sundeen is anticipated to fill up
the weakest position on the team.
He is fairly good basket shot and
it is too bad that he wasn't in the
lineup in the Canton and Elmwood
games.
Yesterday afternoon the locals
played a practice game with Angus
tana on the Swedes' floor. Friday
night the second teams of Rock
Island and Moline will clash in the
Moline gym.

Obligation in this contract which
would prohibit him from engaging

While Carpenters manager, Des-
camps. refuses to divulge the ac-
tual conditions embodied in the
contract, various promoters appear
to take it for granted the French
fighter will be permitted to engage
in some form of ring activity, and
there is certain to be wild

Wants to Talk TO Promoters.
The Frenchmen are thoroughly
familiar with the fact that fight

York legislature and that New Jer-
sey clubs hope to hove the presen.
law there changed to permit bouts
fully as satisfactory to the boxing
fan as the proposed New York
regulations. In view OF these CON
ditions, Carpenter is expected to
defer signing a binding agreement
to meet Dempsey until he has ex-
amined the field here first hand.

Mayors Statement
 On Christian Union

After an inspection of the entire new home of the Bridgeport Chris tian Union by his honor, Clifford B. Wilson, mayor, and others, he gave the following statement:
 The Bridgeport Christian Union has already done a wonderful work in our city. In its new home it will be possible, not only to continue the work which they have done, but en large their activities for the benefit of those who are less fortunate in our community, who are in need of assistance.
 Further, a hotel such is is conducted in their building, and the very low rates they charge will prove a grea. blessing. The mere presence of the building will be an inspiration to the community, and it's activities vii prove a, great uplift.
 I congratulate those in charge oE the Bridgeport Christian Union for their success, and upon what their ef forts promise for the future. They have worked necessarily and con stant1y for the purposes which called them together, and their reward is found in this delightful fruition of la bOrS.

MRS. VINCENT
 GETS DIVORCE
Husband Contested Action But Wasn't Present at
 Hearing

Helen Flames Vincent, daughter of President George M. Flames of the Park Board and prominent socially in this city, was today granted a di vorce from Noble B. Vincent, former ly of this city, but now of Chicago III. Desertion on August Is, 1914, was the ground. Judge John W. Banks of the Superior Court, heard testi- mony in the case last week but the decision was announced today.
 Vincent contested the wife's ac- ton. He was represented by coun- sel, who stated that Vincent is en- gagged in the grain brokerage business in Chicago at present. In addition to a divorce the wife was allowed the custody of one minor child, Martha. aged 10.
 It was agreed that the mother should take charge of the chiId's edu- cation and give Vincent opportunity to see the child at reasonable times.
 Vincent lived in this city until he went to the Plattsburg, N. Y, training camp at the outbreak of the war, and obtained an officers commission. He is a member of the wealthy family which controls the firm of Vincent Bros. in this city. The Vincents were married in 1908 following an elope. ment to New York state. Both were active in affairs at the Brooklawn Country club at the time of then wedding.

The witness told the committee tha. Admiral Benson repeated his admoni. ton during a conversation and that he made the remark six months late: in London.
 Admiral Sims said he did not pay particular attention to the statefnen: at that time because he believed Ad miral Benson was intensely anti-Brft" ish. He added that this belief was entertained generally throughout the service.
 An aide recently called his attention to the remark, the admiral said, and Admiral Palmer told him that he re- membered hearing Admiral Benson make the statement.
 The witness was reluctant to give the name of the officer, but Chairman Hale insisted.
 Admiral Sims said he did not wish to indulge in personalities but when pressed by Chairman Hale he said he referred to Admiral Benson.
 Admiral Sims said he included Ad- Iniral Benson's remark in his letter to Secretary Daniels in January re- garding the navy's part in the war because eff a man has a prejudice against men fighting alongside of him

Famous Restaurant
 Has Closed Doors

The famous Bullen's Cafe is no more At the stroke of 12 Saturday night the doors that had been opened for many of our most prominent bus mess men, world famous sporting men and politicians of national fame were closed, to open no more the seekers of good cheer and delicacies of food that could be obtained at no other place in this vicinity.
 The late Fred Bullen was the origi- nal proprietor of the cafe which was moved from place it opened some years ago in its present location, 1oS Bank street.
 For 35 years it has been the most famous eating house between New York and Boston and on it's walls hung many beautiful pictures of in ternational celebrieties in the thea tri- cal and sporting world.
 The genial manager, Frank Holly wood, today announced that the pass age of the Prohibition act was the main cause of the closing, but that the cafe might have continued for some time longer except for the sud den increase in the rent demanded bv the owner of the property.
