FORTUNE STORY
is IDLE TALK
Carpenter Much Annoyed by Yarn His
Fortune Was Lost in War--Is
Fighting Dempsey for
Glory.

Manhasset, N. Y. June ls.-The
story that Georges Carpenter lost his
fortune during the war and consented
to fight Dempsey as a means OF replen-
ishing his bank account has been
branded here as idle talk"
One of the challenger's most inti-
mate friends said to-day that Carpen-
tier has been much annoyed over this
report and wants the American pub
lie to know that he is fighting Demp-
sey for glory. -
"While his share of the purse will
be large in the gross, it will dwindle
in the payment of taxes and division
with manager, trainers and other
members of the party, and will be
comparatively small" his friend said.
Few persons in America know that
Carpenter has money enough to per-
init his retirement from the ring right
now and keep him and his family in
luxury for life.
"His beautiful villa at Diephe is one
of the show places in the country. He
has a large number of servants there
and at his parents home, which also
is place Of beauty and luxury. He
keeps half dozen automobiles and
has valuable property in different
parts of France, from which he re-
ceives a comfortable income.
Georges Carpenter wants to be
heavyweight champion of the world, he
is not in America with any greedy de-
sires."
Carpenter was much refreshed to-
day after his enforced idleness of yes
terday, when he was compelled to cut
the training program short because OF
rain.

CLOSE COOPERATION
WITH UNITED STATES
Great Britain Will Not Be Party to
ANY Alliance Directed Against
America.

London, June 10 (By the Associated
Press .--Ausen Chamberlain, govern
ment leader in the House of Commons,
declared in the House yesterday aft.
ernoon with regard to the renewal OF
the Anglo Japanese treaty;
although I do not in any way wish
to prejudice the action OF the imperial
conference, it is right to say at once
that we shall be no party to any al
lance against America, or under which
we can be called upon to act against
America"
He made this statement during de-
bate on the agenda for the forthcoming
imperial conference.
IL think it will be found possible, =
he continued, Ito reconcile our desire
for perfect understanding and close
cooperation with the people OF the
United States and the continuance OF
our close and intimate friendship with
an ally who acted so Loyalty on the
occasion when the alliance became OPP
erative and rendered such valuable
support to the empire during the war.
i'That after all, must be the object
of any British cabinet, any British
minister, or any government Of any OF
the dominions or India. Surely 1t must
be their object to secure such confi-
dence, such and understanding, such
corporation among the great Pacific
powers as may prevent that new com
petition in ornaments of which men
ton has been made, and TO secure the
peace of that great ocean and the lands
abutting upon it,

punches at Dempsey, probably is sad
der but wiser to-day. Ghee faced the
champion for the first time yesterday
and was on the floor three times dur

out, the Memphis boxer hurried to a
dentist to find out what could be done
to save two teeth Dempsey knocked
loose. As result Of the punching he
received, he win probably be given an
opportunity to rest up for few days.
Dempsey boxed six rounds yesterday.
