 The letter cpntai1iing the money order for $50 was addressed to Joseph Bohan, of 16o Washington street MT. Bbhan was out when the missive was delivered but the mail Carrier left it with a woman at 156 Washington street, who assured him he wrald see thak D0hars received 1t.

LITTLE CHANGE OF
 STOPPING BIG BOUT
Prosecutor Will Not Ask for
 Indictments.

ln0lctmentS.
 Jersey City, June 3O.-Prosecutor Pierre Garyen today told a representa- tive of the Associated Press that un. less more facts were presented to him by the international reform bureau, he would not recommend to the Hudson county grand jury tomorrow that it re- turn an indictment sought to block the Dempsey-Carpentier bout.
 Representatives of the bureau and the clergymen's community club of Jersey City, after having failed in three attempts to get an injunction prevent ing the match yesterday appeared be- fore the prosecutor and laid before him facts which they claimed tended to show Tex Rickard and the principals were planning violation of state law by staging a prize fight instead of a boxing match.
 MT. Garven today said:
 ''I will present all the facts which are now in my possession regarding a violation of the law on the part of the principals connected with the fight.
 ''If no further facts are presented to me other than those now in my posses sion, will not recommend to the grand jury an indictment in this matter"

Declines to Reply Whether Or Not He Knows Mrs. Leeds Or If He Is Father Of, Her Son. ..

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June SO.- Continued refusal by James -S. Still man to answer questions regarding his relations with Florence H. Leeds, former Broadway show girl, today marked his second appearance for cross s-examination in his divorce suit
 Today as yesterday, he brushed aside all such inquiries on the ground that to answer them might tend to incrirnfnate him. It was said that he again declined to say whether he knew Mrs. Leeds, whether he was the father of her son, Jay Leeds, born in September, 1918, or the father of still born male infant to which she gave birth in. November, 1919.'
 Repeating that the answer might tend to incriminate him, he would not say whether he was present when this second ohild came into the world, or when it was buried On the same grounds, he would not identify a photograph which counsel for Mrs. Stillman said was that of Mrs. Leeds. There were prolonged arguments among attorneys over the bankers resistance to questions and it was said one of Mrs. ..Stillman's lawyers proposed to advise him to answer if assured that no criminal action would follow :. ...
 To this. proposal, it was reported. that John E. Mhcks guardian ad litem for the infant Guy Stillman, whose legitimacy was rquestioned by the banker would rot agree. He made it clear, it was said, that if he could gather sufficient evidence he would bring criminal d1arges against the banker at the csncIusion of the di- vorce case.

City Will Not Receive Anticipated
 Si4, 1000 State Grant for Schools This Year.

Si4 900 State Grant for Schools This
 Year.
 Because of the failure of the legis- lature to appropriate funds whereby the city might receive the sum of $44, ,OOO which has been included in the esti- mated income for this year, together with a falling off in the payment of taxes may make necessary the levy of a special tax before the end of the fiscal year, city officials believe. The bill which would have given the city its state grant for schools has been passed over by the governor with a pocket veto. Collector Bernadotte Loomis re- ports difficulty in collecting taxes, property owners explaining that it is not possible for them to do so on time this year, due to the industrial de- pression. If the income is not su.fl- ciently large to pay the expenses of the city departments, it will be neces- sary for the city to provide means of raising money and the tax will be nec- essary, it is explained.

 DONATIONS FOR CAMP
30 Fresh Air Campers Start This Afternoon For

Young states has been received as the result of an issued appeal. and one of SIeg, which has been collected from Rotary club members. through F. E. Racklifre. The $500 reported by MT. Young Is largely through small gifts from sources which preferred to re- main anonymous. and was collected through circular letter
 Mr. Rackliffe finds that members of the Rotary club have donated about as s1s2.50 has already been given through other sources than Rotary, and has been acknowledged pre- viousiy. The additional s1s9. how ever. is added to our total.
