ERTLE FOR REFEREE
Dempsey Readily Agrees to Selection of Jersey City Man as Official Disturbed Over Correspondent Talk

Atlantic City, June 22.-Selection of Harry Ertle as referee of the world s heavyweight championship contest be- tween Jack Dempsey, the titleholder and Georges Carpenter, at Jersey City, Fully ? is entirely satisfactory to Dempsey.
 The champion expressed this opin- ion today when he advised that Joseph Cassidy, secretary of the New Jersey boxing commission would officially an- nounce the selection of Ertle before night. Dempsey, however, had not dis cused the situation with Jack Kearns his manager, as Kearns had not re- turned from New York.
 ''I can truthfully say this, I honest ly do not care who is in there to referee. That's up to Kearns. It wouldn't make any difference to me if Descamps refereed. I think Carpen- tier feels the same way about the referee question as I do."
 Dempsey is more concerned over the report that he has been named as correspondent in a divorce suit at Pawhuska, Okla, than he is over the referee controversy. Today he in structed his attorney Ray J. Cannon of Milwaukee to investigate and start suit for libel if necessary against F. R. Boulange who in his petition for a divorce named Dempsey. Cannon tele- graphed for a certified copy of the complaint to determine if the charges were the same as reported in the press dispatches.
 Dempsey is no home-wrecker and this thing has upset him. Cannon said. "Hedosen't even kow anybody in Pawhuska and never has written to anybody there"

JOHNSON'S FINISH
Negro Used Everything He Knew in Early Rounds At Havana. But Youth Was Served

Some people think Jess Willard de ! feated Jack Johnson because he was 1 the better fighter. Others feel sure that Johnson was beaten by his own
 method of living and by the irresist- ible slowing-up process that time i'm poses on every man after he passes
 the crest of physical perfection. And there are those who believe Iil
 Artha' was not so anxious to beat Willard anyhow.
 Whatever the cause, the star of
 Jack Johnson's ring career f1icked out at Havana on April 5, 1915. That day, for the second time in his life, Johnson was knocked out. The first | enforced nap had mattered not. It was taken at Galveston in 1901 at
 the hands of Joe Choynski and Johnson was almost unknown beyond
 the island where he lived. But when the big negro arose from this second slunber, he was a has been Willard was 27 years old, ten years the junior of the champion and
 both his height and reach exceeded those of Johnson. The dusky title holder apparently put forth his best
 effort in the early rounds but he could not topple the giant to the canvas Willard was slow in lis movement, fighting on the defense and with great care, manifestly bid ing his time.
 His time kept him waiting quite while. Johnson was a little fatter, little slower and some of the old wallop was gone from his arms but his ring generalship, his mastery of tactics had not forsaken him. He was still the most clever boxer of them all.
 The early rounds showed him 70 be the same teasing scrapper he had always been. 'Why don't you come ahead and 1ght?" he frequently blurted at the cautious Willard. Later, the signs of leg weariness were apparent in the champions movements. In the 18th round he suddenly seemed to become exhaust cd, while the Kansan was still fresh and glowing.
 Plainly tired and worn out, John
 son kept up the fight for seven more rounds. Leaving his corner at the gong for the 26th round, he glanced at his wife with a look of distress
 and despair that warned those near
 the ring of his impending fall.
 As soon as he met Willard, almost, struck Johnson flush on the chin. He
 sank down and a new champion was
 proclaimed.

Eddie Anderson repeated his Mon day nights performance of winning nine games to two from Bill Sadler of Bridgeport, last night at Rogers Recreation alleys. The Park City bowler opened last nights match by wining and it was not until the final game of the evening that he managed to again be victorious. One or of the games were interesting. but the rest of them were uninteresting and there was little enthusiasm. It it had not been for Billy Quigley, some of the spectators might have fallen asleep.

DR. mAcFARLAnE IN THE cHAuTAuouA

Peter Clark Macfarlane, of Saturday Evening Post and Collier fame. who has developed wonderful knack of interviewing celebrities will discuss the sixth night of Chautauqua some of the great charac ters of modern history who have opened their souls to him.
 It has been his privilege to know intimately. and write about many of the great of the day and his estimates of public men have been surprisingly justified by elapsed time. He interviewed and wrote notable articles Mckinley. Taft Roosevelt and Wilson. He obtained the first authentic interview from General Goethals. He has interviewed the mys- terious Colonel House and the redoubtable Hiram Johnson. The fighting senator from California is great admrer of Macfarane. Recently he said, T have been with many of those who considered orators and great speakers There would rather listen to than MT. Macfarlane. As a public speaker he has few equals and superiors"
 This will be the first visit of pr. Macfarlane to Phoenix He spent days here several years ago in search of material for series of articles Golfers, The Average Man"

Ballade in A Flat. Chopin, No. }
This composition is picture of Paradise.
 That is. to me- Whether Chopin meant 1t
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

This composition is picture of Paradise.
 That is to me. Whether Chopin meant it so or not do not know. But what is the significance of anything except it's significance to you?
 am no musician, except in my heart, lack skill and all can boast of is tremendous loves And this Baade is one of them, perhaps the chiefest.
 First of all 1t is tune, most singable melody It IS no hodgepodge of vague sounds. There's fulrst impressionst nonsense about it.
 There's choir singing somewhere in heaven to be- gin with-singng divine hymn, with distinct and noble air. happy calm, sane, radiant the white soul of heaven unfolding.
 It IS proceSsional The singers marching, yet unseen, toward us.
 They round the shoulder of the hill, and suddenly there comes a clash of cymbas held high by white armed seraphs, changing in rhythm. All through the piece these cymbas recur accentuang the steps here and there with their red slashes of noise.
 And drums, silver drums, rolling in shrill tattoo.
 There is dramatic pause, eloquent moment of silence, such as keys the spirit to attend wonder.
 And then, out of the sacred grove, and down the grassy slope all pied with daisies comes troop of the little children of heaven, the lovliest imaginable ador able angels, swinging their May-baskes and keeping step lightly dancing Oh, if ever I am permitted to enter that country want of all to see those grace full beings, their dance and the flutes with them and the nkling xylophones that mark their seps Or it little glasses they are tnkling?
 And now suddenly wonder!
 For you know in heaven everything sngs-not only saints and cherubs but the very trees
 And to bear their part in the musicmaking there flies up from the grove flock of bright birds which as they and circle and dart utter the most ravishng warb ngs, rushing stream of melody notes strung like long strands of pearls sweeping the earth piercing the clouds but always in concord with them tha slng and dance and blow their horns.
 Yet although those parts be beautiful, there is som, thing more exquisite to come.
 It is the River. Listen! Do you not hear 1t! nat River of Life that flows from out the Throne It's is soft velvet, rich gold and bubblng in suppressed joy beneath all the other motifs even as young love swells in a maiden's heart.
 Later the deeper roar of the sea- The surf of the great ocean of Time is pounding its low dapason upon these eternal shores
 And always the persistent song The melody is never lost but pierces all silver cord binding everything together in admirable concinnity.
 At the last all the motifs converge The angelchildren dance, the cymbals cang the pour their smooth bass and the girls full throated their high soprano the river gurges, the ocean booms, and the wild birds swoop and carol and the celestial horns splendid and brave, blow the strong anthem to its proud conclusion

facts gleaneo from pages of schoo. geography.
 A collection of exhibits cannot, Of course, take the place of actually travelling through the country and visiting factories, mines, and farms, but a tour of AS state buildings would certainly give any one fair understanding of the complex ma terial that goes to make up the United States.
 At present, the visitor to the capi- tai goes away with an impression of the importance and dignity of the United States as a government, but there is nothing in Washington to make him feel the existence of the states for which the government functions.
 States Poorly Represented
 He is reminded of some ancient history of the states in Statuary Hall at the Capitol, where a motley crowd of statues is supposed to include the state heroes. The basic idea of Sta tuary Hall was sound. and the ear Hest entries were names still familiar to everyone, but since then, delegates selected are in a great many cases minor heroes, unrecognized even by the tourist from his own state In a country as well supplied as this one is with really famous characters, Statuary Hall could be one of the in spring spots in the Capital City. It could remind the visitor of the big gest achievements of the states, but | it does not.
 In the Washington Monument, blocks of marble and granite sent and inscribed by different states give an excellent idea of the many varieties of one product that the different sections of the country yield. Most visitors, however, have little oppor- tunity to regard this interesting col lection of stones. From the monu = ment elevator it is possible to catch | fleeting glimpse of few state blocks if you happen to be near the sides of the cage. To study the walls more carefully it is necessary to walk either up Or down the o55 | foot shaft, and this is an experience that the average tourist is willing to i forego.
 There are a few other vague re- minders of the states in statuary and painting around the Capitol and other public buildings, and congress S supposedly, a collection of sample
 products of the states. Throughout the city, however, there Is nothing
 to give any impression of each state as it actually is-its industries. art  science, it's agriculture. products and commerce An exhibit covering these points would be visited and used not only by tourists, but by students business men and government and foreign representatives.
