PARIS, Jan. IN. Descnmps, man

cabled James Conroth, manager Of
the Tia Juana race track, accepting
the latter's terms for a championship
bout between Carpenter and Jack
Dempsey in America. The only ex-

the battle, Carpenter being unwilling
to fight more than fifteen rounds and
favoring ten rounds.
The decision to accept Coffroth' q

MANY OF the best constitutional au-

For a supposedly declining party

and perhaps it is because there arc
