Dempsey on Trial
For Draft EvaSiom
Heavyweight Champion Fac
ing Long Imprisonment and
Fine If Convicted

WASHINGTON, June 8. Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight pugilist cham
pion of the world, went on trial be-
fore Federal Judge Maurice 7. Dool-
ing here yesterday charged with
evasion of the selective draft act.
Many members Of the American
Legion, various posts of which were
active in condemnation of his war
record, indirectly resulting in the
trial, were present when the first
witnesses took the stand today.
Jack Kearns, Dempseys manager,
will be tried later on a charge OF
conspiring to effect evasion of the
draft.
The statute covering Dempsey's S
case carries a maximum sentence of
three years and a $4,000 fine in the
event of a conviction. There are
two charges resting against him, the
actual draft evasion and the other
conspiracy to effect such evasion.
The Kearns case is covered only by
the latter charge.
Stiff Penalty Provided
On the direct evasion charge, Demp-
sey can be given one and on the con
spiracy charge two years and $1,000
fine.
The indictments were returned
February q following statements
made to the Federal Grand Jury by
Maxine Wayne Dempsey, divorced
wife of the pugilist, that he sought
her sworn testimony as to her de-
pendency upon him in order to avoid
military service and had given such
testimony against her will. Sub
sequently she retracted her charges
in a signed affidavit submitted to
the United States District Attorney S
office here, but despite such retrac-
tion the grand jury returned the in
dictments.

odds on Senator Hiram w. johnson
of California to win the Republican
nomination for President have gone
from even money to three to one

patch received by the Seattle Times
from New York today.
The Times Washington correspon
dent quotes w w Jermane, noted
news writer and political observer
as saying johnson will not be nom
mated and he knows it. He will
withdraw on an early ballot and mass
his forces to prevent the nomination
of Gov Frank O. Lowden or Mai
Gen Leonerd Wood. He will not
bolt but he may give the Republican
nominee such support as William Jen
nings Bryan gave Judge Alton B
Parker in 1904"
Samuel Blythe, rated by many as
the keenest political writer in the
United States, VOTES his view of the
situation at Chicago as follows:
NO hduICdi 10 w dHtCu
mo Radical need apply The Re
publicans will stand as pat as ever
and Progressives like Senator Albert
B. Beveridge, Senator William f.
Borah and Senator Medill McCor-
mick have been turned down. The
intention of the convention is to nom
mate a standpatter of the old order,
not a Liberal or advanced Conserva-
tive but one Of the Nelson Aldrich or
Mark Hanna brand"
William Jennings Bryan, who has
been keeping close watch on the
convention from the press box, had
this to say today:
probably the most remarkable
thing about Senator Henry Cabot
Lodges keynote speech yesterday
was the fact that it ignored the
great piece of Legislation the Repub-
licans can claim credit for, the Pro
hibition Enforcement Act"
Lodge QuibbIed, Says Taft
William Howard Taft, former Pres
ident. says Lodge quibbled on the
League of Nations issue, apparently
trying to straddle it. The nominee
cannot dodge the issue but If he de-
clares for the League with the Lodge
reservations he will lose the Sim
Feiners and other supporters of John
son. he said.
William Philip Sims. Washington
correspondent, declared Lowden,
Wood, Johnson and Harding all have
their fate sealed so far as the old
line crowd is concerned. Lowden and
Wood spent toe much money, he says,
Harding is weak in his own state
and was the enemy of Theodore
Roosevelt and Johnson has fought
all and will be fought by all.
Senator Capper declared today that
it looks more than ever like a
dark horse" He believes that Her
bert Hoover is playing a waiting
game and that Gov. William G.
Sproule is gaining strength. The
New York delegates, he said, do not
warm up to suggestions of Charles

from the National Comittee's de.
cision including the seating of Judge
Wallace McCamont, one of Oregon's

he would vote for Maj Gen. Leonard
Wood for the Presidential nomination
despite the fact that the delegation
was instructed for Senator Hiram W
Johnson of California under the Ore
gon primary results. The credentials
committee refused to unseat him, ig
noring the arguments of the Johnson
forces that breach in the delegation
would result in violation of primary
instructions not to be countenanced
