to have formed an Organization which

II was noted that Major Steele, who
gave the first informing description
OF the workings OF the organizations
which have been fighting the com-
mdttee tooth and nail was not asked
70 give his present business. Counsel
refused to state whether Major Steele
had stipulated that his present bVAi-

he appeared on the stand several
members OF the Bureau and the as

Members OF the association asserted
yesterday their right to refuse 10

Mr. Untermyer had recourse to day

Long LayoFf by Champ and Good
Showing by NIisl1e Mixes the Dope.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Aug Is
The long layoff he has taken since he
won the championship from Jess VIII
lard. and the increasingly optimistic
reports from Billy Miske's camp are
causing much speculation among the
followers of Jack Dempsey here as to
his chances with Miske in their ten
round bout Labor day.
That Miske's chances are not taken
so lightly as they appeared to be sew
eraI weeks ago was indicated today
when it was learned that a hurry-up
call had been dispatched to Pittsburgh
for Harry Greb to assist in training
Dempsey. Greb, it was said, was ex-
pected to arrive tomorrow or Friday
to assume the role of chief sparring
partner TO the champion.
Dempsey is training carefully for the
fight. He boxes eight rounds daily
with four sparring partners and does
long stretch of road work.
Miske is in training at Eastman
Springs. a mile from here. He has
four sparring partners and has forced
one to leave camp. He let loose a
right for a knockout, by accident he

SEE No CAUSE
FOR ALARM DUE
To INFLUENZA
While More Cases Are Report
ed, No Deaths Have Re-
suited In This City

At the Health Department today 1t
was said that additional cases of the
influenza have been reported by tho
physicians of the cityy, but there Is
no cause for alarm. 1t Is maintained
by many that a close study of the
disease to date, fails to reveal that it
is the same type of influenza that
swept through this city two years ago.
the present illness seems to be more
along the lines of the old fashioned
gripp and 1t Is understood, many of
the doctors have found that gripp
medicine quickly acts for the better
after 1t Is given to the patient.
Two facts would seem to bear out
the belief that the present disease
is not the epidemic ''fu' of two years
ago. One of these facts Is that there
have been no deaths as yet from the
disease and the other that pneumonia
does not seem to follow the Illness
as was previously the case. Some of
the doctors of the city seem to be of
the opinion there will be an epidemic
of the disease here, but only a very
slight one.
There are a large number Of cases
of gripp in the city at the present
time but these 1t was said at the De-
partment of Health today are not re-
portable. Almost every business in
the city has felt the results of the
sickness, as large numbers of en-
ployes are confined to their homes by
the disease. Particularly Is this true
of the schools. Yesterday twenty one
teachers were absent and today there
are seventeen unable to attend their
clAeses. Superintendent S. e. Shull

The Indictment on which they were

tional in that the constitution gives

Jury in the state where an offense Is

admitting that there appeared to be

DEMOCRATS ID ANSWER
SENATOR LODGE TO-DAY
Another Bipartisan Conference
to be Held Thursday
BIZ The Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2T-The fate
of compromise negotiations on the
peace treaty remained in doubt to-
day after the bipartisan conference
had discussed without decision the
refusal of the Republicans TO COM
promise on Article 10. Another meet
ing viii be held Thursday.
Democratic leaders replying to the
Republican ultimatum regarding
Article 10 did not present a definite
refusal to go on with the negotiations
but expressed great surprise, declar-
ing Article 10 compromise already
had been assented to by most OF the
members of the conference" before
the Republicans served notice they
would not agree to a compromise
Under the proposed compromise as
made public by Senator Hitchcock.
of Nebraska. the acting Democratic
leader, the senate would declare by
reservation that the United States
would not employ the economic boy
colt or its armed forces to preserve
the territorial integrity of any other
country unless congress acted in each
specific case.
After the meeting which developed
some heated discussions, some sena-
tors on both sides professed to SEQ
hope that a compromise might yet
be reached. The general attitude of
the conferees. however, was not ene
of optimism.
The Democrats announced they
would reply to the Republican leaders
today. If no progress can be made
in conference toward establishing
middle ground on which the factions
can get together the Democrats 1t is
understood have decided to draw up
notifications and call for vote on
the floor of the senate.
