DEMPSEYS STAGE TOUR
SURPRISES FIGHT FANS
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, October 17-Those
who are close enough to Jack DENIM
sey to know his views uDon various
things of life are utterly surprised
To-Day at the announcement that he
hau signed up for theatrical tour
for the life of an actor. The elare
or the footllghts are about as attrac-
tive to him as the glare of a forest
hre is to the timber wolf.
II is regarded as cinch that only
the prospects Of an inactive winter
.nuuceu Jack 70 listen to Kearns'
proposition that he tread the boards.
And 1t was: of course. only those
prospects that induced Dempsey's
manager to propose the thing. Ry
lne tlme ne completes the five months
contract spring will be knocking at
the door and it will be time to begin
thinking Of training for a bout
against Jess Willard or some one
equally bad If not worse.
ihe trouble with acting" said
JACK. in the course of conversation
ir this city the other night. "is that
you nave to go out and remember
something that some fellow has writ
ana make up your own stuff the thing
would be cinch. For instance, say
you're supposed to be just what you
are in ordinary life-a champion
nshter-and you're supposed to come
INTO a room or somewhere in time to
save the heroine from a villain. Well,
ordinarily you'd say to that villain,
Hey. there. leave that lady alone and
beat it or I'll knock your block on
or perhaps you wouldn't say any
thing. You'd just hand the villain a
couple and let it go at that.
But on the stage you've got a
long line of drool. always the same,
night after night. until you almost go
crazy. And it isn't what you or any
body else would be likely to say in real
life; far from it. Consequence is you
feel like fool and you know you are
a fool. even if other people don't"

Watson, Democrat, Georgia. last night

cause of their denial of the senator's
assertions.
Alluding to a statement made to-
day by the war secretary that mo
decent man. would make charges
with respect to army nurses such as
made several days ago in the senate,
Senator Watson while disclaiming
any intent to attack the nurses as a
whole, said he would leave to any i'm
partial tribunal to judge whether he
or Mr.. Weeks was the more decent"
The senator said that his charge as
originally made was that officers in
too many cases made courtesans of
the nurses
"And 1 can prove it," he exclaimed
Reading General Pershing's state
ment as made yesterday in Nashville
Tenn, that the Watson charges of
illegal hangings and inhuman treat
ment of privates by officers was
most outrageous and untrue accusa-
tion," the Gergia senator declared:
when the general denOunces
senator as a liar he had better re-
member that it is within the power
of the senate to bring him here and
time may come when we will do
that. If he talks that way about more
senators it may be done. We have as
yet no kaiser that says: me and

I'm not going to lower myself"
Senator Watson continued, ''to the

General Pershing by indulging in
abuse. I simply content myself with
saying that it was great impropriety
for either of these gentlemen in the
public service to publicly condemn an
