Crafts Confident

Washington, June 2S--Dr. Wilbur
f. Crafts. superintendent OF the In
tcrnational Reform Bureau. an
nounced today that the application
, Of the Rev. Robert Watson for an in
junction in the chancery court at
Jersey City to stop the Dempsey Car
pentier bout was only the first move
by the bureau in its effort to prevent
the fight. He said there We're many
courts in New Jersey competent to
issue an Injunction and that if un-
successful in one, representatives Of
the bureau would renew the effort in
others.
You may rest assured said
Crafts that Mr.. Watson, who is
president of our burc au, has evidence
to support his case All the world
knows that the match is a prize fight
and not a boxing contest such as is
permitted by the New Jersey law. but
! it takes specific evidence to prove the
contention"

entertain the department heads an

ter than ever, was revealed by Mr..
