In 1906 a new era was opened in
naval construction with the compile
ton of III. NJ. S. Dreadnought. From
that time On>the race for naval arma-
ments took "a fresh squirt; the armor
barOns began to- be very busy and
the taxpayers began TO look glum. If
this was the first act I'm the drama,
the last act may be said to have
opened when the British fleet mobil-
lied in July, 1914, and the curtain to
have fallen when the German ensign
was hauled down, in the Firth of
Forth one evening in November, 1918.
But surely the epilogue has just been
played, remarks Christian Science
Monitor, with the selling of II. NJ. S.
Dreadnought by the British Admiralty,
to firm of ship breakers at a knock
down price.

Whalen of Tampa, Fla, in whose dis
trict much Of the smuggling has been
going on.
I'VE have learned that within the
past few months almost $1,000 Chinese
have been landed in Cuba, says
Whalen. According to the state
ments we got from some of the SNUG
Cling parties that we have rounded
up, these Chinese remain in Cuba only
long enough to make arrangements
with the smugglers to be landed on
the Florida coast.
"The fact that al the Chinese who
have been arrested in this Vicinity are
plentifully supplied with money and
are able to obtain unlimited funds to
defray court expenses indicates that
there is a well-organized smuggling
combine at work"
The latest arrests in the smuggling
war were in Charleston, S. c., where
four Chinese were picked up, with
railroad tickets from Cieagwater,
Fla, short distance from Tampa to
Washington, D. c. Six more were ar
rested the same day at Dunedan. Fla.

when they tried TO buy railroad tick

100000 offered Jack
For Bout on Coast

Los ANGELES, July 6.-Captain
j. M. McCaw, wealthy clubman, for
merly with the British air service and
now of Pasadena, has sent a telegram to
JACK kearns, manager for Jack Demp-
sey, asking if Kearns would accept an
offer for Dempsey TO meet Jack John
son on Labor Day, half Che receipts to
go to the fighters and half to the local
post OF disabled veterans of the Worl
War.
ITO insure Dempsey an adequate re-
turn for his services, will arrange for
satisfactory guarantees for his portion
to be not less than $200,000," the tele-
gram said.
"The public can have Dempsey
johnson match if it wishes, but I be-
lleve there is no demand for the bout
now or in the near future" Jack
Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, said
yesterday on learning that Captain
j. M. McCaw, of Pasadena, had offered
the champion a guarantee of 100000
to box Jack Johnson on Labor Day.
kearns stated that he had drawn no
color line on behalf of the champion.
tut suggested that Johnson should
meet Harry Wills or another leading
negro boxer before being considered
for championship match. He added
that he would demand the posting of
torfeits in case the match were made.
Dempsey is expected to return to
New York in ten days.

In His Corner
Champion Says Mysterious
Man Wanted to Thow i'm
Towel in Third Round

CHICAGO, July 6.-Jack Dempsey,
who arrived here to-day for a short
VISIT on his way to his home in Salt
Lake City, said that two men mysteri-
ously put in their appearance in his
corner in the third round of his fight
with Georges Carpenter last Saturday
with the intention, he believed. of
throwing towel in the ring to create
disorder.
One man had towel in his hand. -
SAID Dempsey, "and my friend Mike
Irant questioned them. The men told
Irant that Richard had put them there.
Irant did not credit the story and had
the police take them away. I believe
these men intended to throw the towel
into the ring from my corner, creating
scene of disorder
be1ore we entered the ring Referee
Harry Ertle told Carpenter and NV
self the battle must be decided on its
merits, and he would not recognize a
victory for either man unless Kearns
or Descamps came into the ring over
the ropes with a towel in his hand"
The foregoing statement of Dempsey
was a surprise to newspaper men here
who covered" the contest from ring
slde seats. Apparently the presence of
tne mysterious visitors went unnoticed
by the eight hundred news men. for
their stories made no mention of them.
10 reach the rlngslde the men either
would have had to press their wav
down narrow aisle heavily guarded
by police or climb over several rows
of workers, typewriters and telegram
instruments.
