 States N. Y. Times
By Associated Press

New York, January 1S.-An-
 nouncement that the heavyweight
 championship bout between Jack
 Dempsey, titiehoider, and Georges
 Carpentier, European champion,
 for which the enormous purse of
 SJO0,O0O had been offered, has been
 definitely declared offs was made
 tonight by the New York Times.
 Failure of the principals to deposit forfeit money, as was provided for in contracts signed by the promoters, the boxers and their managers, was given as the reason for the cancellation.
 Under the terms of the contest for the bout, the romoters-CharIes B. Cochran of England, William A. Brady and Tex Rickard-collectively agreed to deposit the sum of $100,0 as a guarantee of good faith. This was to be deposited with the Central Union Trust company here on or before No- vember 20, last. The managers of the respective boxers agreed to deposit S50000 each
 Only one deposit-that of Mir. Coch- ran for $33. .333 ,33-had been made heTe Francois Deschamps. manager for Car pentier, is said to have posted a check for $50,000 in France, but the money has never been forwarded to this coun- try. No time extensions, it is said have been granted the other promoters and Dempsey
 Under the terms of the agreement, Dempsey was to receive $300,000 and Carpenter $200,000, Twin. 4ose or draw in each instance. The contract provided for the match to be held either in March, 1921, or between May 29, 1921 and July 1, 1921. at a place to be designated by the promoters The contest was to be not more than Ia rounds and not less than 10 rounds.
 The articles for the bout also pro vided that if the contest was to be held in March the promoters would notify the boxers and their managers by registered mail not later than Jan uary 1 If the bout was to be held between May and July, the boxers were to be notified before March l. Tn either event, the boxers were bound to be on the battle-ground in training 40 days prior to the date of the match
 While the failure to adhere to the deposit stipulations of the contract are the alleged compelling forces in olctating an abandonment of the bout, other elements, notably the recent ac- ton of the National Boxing assocfa- ton in adopting a maximum price of *lo per seat for championship con test, are believed to have entered in the situation.
 Neither MT. Rickard nor MT. Brady could be reached for statement to- night.

 If you know of some one who is troubled with Catarrhal Deafness. head noises or or dinary catarrh cut out this formula and hand 1t to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. In England scientists for long time past have recos- nized that catarrh is q constitutional disease and necessarily requires constitutional treatment
 Sprays. inhalers and nose douches are liable to irritate the delicate air passages and force the disease into the middle ear which frequently means total deafness or else the disease may be driven down the Air passages towards the lungs which is equally a dangerous. The following form ala which is used extensively in the damp English climate is a constitutional treat to su6erers here who live under more favor- able climate conditions.
 Secure from your druggist ounce of Parmint (d0uble strength). Take this home and add to 1t x pint of hot water and . little granulated sugar; stir until dissolved Take one tablespoonful four times . day. This will often bring quick relief from dis dressing head noises. Clogged nostrils ahould open. breathing become easy and hearing improve as the inflammation in the eustachian tubes is reduced Parmint used in this way acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system and has tonic action that helps to obtain the de- make. eosts little and is Ipleasant to take. Every person who has catarrh or head noises or is hard of hearing should give teis treatment . trial-Adv.

INDICTMENTS TODAY IN LYNCHING CASE
 APPEAR CERTAINTY
IContinued from Page one)

1 A. This is but another indication of the remarkable speed with which Judge Will | kinson is proceeding in this histor', case-a speed, which. it may be stated is redeeming the majesty of the laws Of this stase, anC which will tend to causa other prospective conspirators and mob bers to hesitate and which will retain the unqualified approval of the decent cit izfnship Of Alabama. Already, the de- velopments have set new records in the
 annals of American courts and the chances are bright that even more new records will be established
 But there is chance that a change of venue will be asked Just what ef feet that will have depends entirely upon the court. The prisoners. those indicted by the grand jury, and it is generally conceded that indictments will be re- turned will be taken to Jasper to be
 arraigned-just when. of course. is not
 known, but probably the latter part of this week. Immediately after arraign- ment. it is understood. counsel for the defense will ask for change of venue provided they decided to file motion for a change. AND FINALLY
 As a concluding feature of crime | that stands alone in the Jurisprudence of this country if the suspects are indicted, the coroner's jury Is proceeding with it's investigation. Coroner A. B. I.egg is in charge and probably will finish We'd | nesday afternoon. The examinations are being conducted by Solicitor J. M. Pen nington and W. c. Davis. the latter counsel for Baird, the murdered young
 miner. As quickly as witnesses finish in the coroner's court they are rushed ] across the hallway into the grand jury ! room where Judge Wilkinson and his in- quisitcrial body Is in sAssion.
 Just why Coroner Legg and his jury continues their inquiry with the grand jury in session is not known. except that il might tend to prove conclusively that 'every possible effort is being made to get to the bottom of the lynching."
