''Of course importance is the creation of
healthful obedience and respect for law The
moral life of the city must be sound Life and
property must be protected. If we must in
duce others to make their homes here. South
Bend must possess a reputation for moral
cleanliness and decency, it must be known as
a safe and wholesome place to live. To these
ends officers must be placed in charge Of the
law enforcing agencies of the city, who are
honest and intelligent and who will be eff
cient. They must function, not intermittently
but constantly.
South Bend Tribune, March %, 1921.
The creation of healthful respect for law.
There must be vigorous and sincere effort
made to rid the city of lavlessness and to give
the city a reputation for decency. These pur-
poses may be and should be attained not only
by the employment of processes of the criminal
courts but those of the civil courts in enjoin-
ing the use of places and buildings for prosti-
tuition sale of Intoxicating liquors and gam
bling. Clean and healthful amusement. and
recreation on Sunday should not be interfered
with but there can be no tolerance of immoral
acts.
South Bend Tribune, April 9, 1921.
Continuing Mr. Seebirt told his audience
what he had told the ministerial association
last Monday that while he stood for law en-
forcement he was not an advocate of blue
laws He asserted that those who wished that
kind of law enforcement would find allied with
them all prostitutes, bootleggers and public
gamblers These he said would be found lined
up so. in the hope that in the public exaspera-
ton the pendulum would swing backward and
all that had been accomplished in the last Is
years would be lost. Il stand for law enforce

CARP. FINISHING UP
French Challenger Keeps Right to Work Behind Barred Doors-Win End Training On Thursday.

New York, June 2s.-Georges Carpenter, challenger for Jack Dempsey's heavyweight title, put in strenuous day of training yester- day at his camp at Manhasset, l.. I.
 The French boxer engaged on the closing stag ges of his preparatory
 work, is also engaging in his most
 severe work of the camp grind lead ing up to next Saturdays battle. This
 has become known despite the eff
 forts to provide additional privacy through the medium of picked Mas sau County deputy sheriffs. Carpen- tier Is doing his work in strict priv ate now, but it doesn't necessarily follow that he is invisible or that there is any real mystic haze of i'm penetrable volume about the camp. The intrepid can get a peek if prop erly trained, and training is only a matter of being properly advised be- forehand.
 Carpenters camp schedule had ex- perienced a complete revision. The challenger is confronted with only two more days of intensive work. He is working in morning and after noon sessions. Carpenter will rest today, but will work tomrrow and Thursday, completing his training. No work is contemplated for Friday, but it is probable the challenger will visit the gymnasium for a session in order to keep on edge. Extra pre- cautions have, been taken to pre-

DEMPSEY KEEPS AT IT
Champion Disregards Managers Or ders and Engages in Bott With Sparring Partners.

Atlantic City, June 2S.-Jack Dempsey today is within 4% hours from the end of his training grind. The champion is scheduled to do his
 last boxing in public this afternoon and tomorrow. After the secret workout with the heavyweight to- day, Dempsey probably will box with the lighter men in camp in the two final sssions with the gloves
 The champion and his handlers
 had no explanation to offer today for
 the secret work out late yesterday afternoon when he toiled for 55
 spectators watching him. Dempsey
 worked out in the stuffy old hangar a quarter of a mile back of, his camp after announcement was made that he would take a day off. He sue cessfully evaded newspapermen who
 were thrown off the scent by the announcement that the champion had left the camp with. his two dogs to have them sheared. Two cores pondents however, managed to get by the guarded gates along with Battling Nelson, former lightweight champion.
 Jack simply felt he wanted to work and he decided tQgdo it on a minutes notice," said 1Rddy Hayes, trainer of the chax ion. ''We thought he was going to4oaf all day. But after he took a nap, he ordered the sparring partners into their clothes and went after them."

Ring History in Europe As Centcred About Challenger of Dempsey.

partnership with Cochrane or if
 Dempsey would agree to fight fol him. However, Descamps couldn't make his point clear and none of the writers understood French. So there it was.
 Naturally I hated to be considered what you call money grabber' by engaging in the movies and on the stage. Of course I did want to make some money as I was badly in need of funds and I thought I could not be blamed for accepting motion pie ture and theatrical contracts when the champion had been doing the same thing.
 Althopth the criticism did hurt me it did not spoil my visit to America as I found the majority of the people and the press very generous to me.
 I enjoyed greatly the work in the movie studios. It fattered me |; little bit to think that I could do some acting. At first the directors said they were not sure that I would register we'll but after I had done several scenes the directors told me that I would do. It was some what out of my line to make love to movie actresses for the camera but l enjoyed the novelty of it. There is a great fascination around a studio es- pecially for one who is entirely new at the game.
 After finishing the picture I ac- cepted a contract for exhibition work with a circus. I did not like that work because it did seem too much like exploitation but the managers told me that the people all over the country wanted to see the man who was willing to fight the great Demp- sey and I accepted on the grounds.
 As I toured about the middle west and west the papers began to be- come more critical of men. In every town reporters would come to me and ask: Why don't you fight Dempsey" ,
 We finally made it clear that I could not meet the champion for at least a year unless the Cochrane con- tract obstacles were removed. Then the newspapers started questioning my ability with the demand that I meet some second string American heavyweights to prove that was ' orthy of a contest with Dempsey.
 Of course I was willing. I wanted | to fight and show the Americans who | had been so kind to me on the whole | that I was not taking advantage of | their hospitality. But getting a fight | with any. of the "contenders'' was | easier said than done.
 Finally, Battling Levinsky, the | light heavyweight champion, who up | 10 that time had been favorably con- ,idered by the American ring fol- lowers was suggested and we en- cred into negotiations with him.
 I never did think that Levinsky | would be a suitable opponent for me put the Americans seemed satisfied ! when he was suggested and we finally made the match.

AMERICANS MISUNDERSTAND
 OUR PLANS.
Chapter xXXVII.

Chapter xNNVII. Copyright, 1921. by United Feature Syndicate).
 We had heard that the Americans did everything in punches and we expected that after our great recep- ton on our arrival in New York we would be lost as public personages in the rush of happenings that keep the minds of inhabitants of a great city occupied.
 However. to our great surprise. we continued to be greeted by great crowds every time we appeared on dined. I shall always remember the pride that thrilled me when I was made a guest of honor at a wonder full dinner given by the Internation- al Sporting club.
 The presence of a former gover- nor. prominent state and city off, cials and officers of the army and navy of course fattered me when thought they had been gathered to- gether as a mark of tribute to me. But what impressed me most was when a large bouquet of beautiful flowers was presented to Mime. Car pentier.
 Tn this connection I can say that I never shall forget the nice things the Americans did and said about my wife. Naturally she felt a little strange in coming to America and at time she was a bit lonesome when I was forced to be away from her for any length of time but she told me that it was all forgotten by the nice way she was treated. Even the ser wants at the hotel went out of their
 
 home.
 After aIl this nce treatment it came as a great shock when the press suddenly changed it's attitude and starte criticizing me. I don't mean all the press nor do I mean to criticize some of the papers that did say unkind things about me be- cause I knew it was all the result of q misunderstanding.
 The papers said that I had come over to fight the worlds champion Jack Dempsey and not to engage in motion picture and theatrical work where I could get a lot of easy money.
 Some Of the writers quoted a state ment from Descamps coming up the bay on L- Savoie that I was ready to fight Dempsey within a week. AS far as that is concerned I was ready 10 fight Dempsey then and that is the point that Descamps tried to make. He knew very little English and misunderstood the questions lsked him.
 We were then under contract with B. Cochrane, the London promoter which bound us to him all during the year 1920. Descamps tried to tell the newspapermen that would fight Dempsey if some Am srican promoter would enter into a

Paris, June 2s.-The. French peo- pie are solidly behind Carpenter in his coming battle with Dempsey. but the sporting papers for several weeks have been voicing warning against what they have considered overconfidence based on sentimental loyalty. French sportsmen frankly admit that few of them know Demp- sey. while. Americans have a better chance to appraise Carpenter.
 The big fight Is occupying large space in all the newspapers and crowding international politics and the next war, out of conversations.
 The American supporters of Demp- sey here, however, cannot get all their money covered even at liberal odds.
