BOX FOR 3 MONTHS

LetUp.

II has just been learned that Bob
Martin, champion heavyweight of
the A. E. f., who lost to Fay kelser
at Baltimore on Labor Day. has been
suffering from a bursted blood vessel
and will not fight again for three
months if he is ever able to get
back in the ring again. The injury
was received in Martins fight with
Frank Moran in New YgSk several
weeks ago and although it was
known shortly after th3 fight that
he had suffered a brol&k blood YES
sci it was not expected to be of a
serious nature
However, it is now presumed
that a hard blow on the head at
the beginning of the fight 18th Keis-
er brought the injury back and fol
lowing the Labor Day fight he was
aiken to a specialist in New York
The physician located the trouble
and ordered him TO bed for three
months or more. However. he stat
ed that it was possible that he
would be out before that time but
it was not certain that he would
ever be able to fight again that
depending on the manner in which
the injury healed.
Martins bouts for the next three
months have all heen cancelled and
all thought Of immediate fights have
been eliminated from the Martin
camp.

Story Untrue.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 10.--Roy
Harris, held by the police on his con-
fcssion that he was concerned in the
murder of Joseph B. Elwell i'll New
York, today confessed his story is
not true. After questioning for two
hours by District Attorney Moore,
he admitted his original declaration
was all false.
Mr.. Moore sent word to Charles
S. Whitman and Captain Carey OF
the New York police, who were on
their way to Buffalo.
Harris gave as his reasons for the
hoax, that he had been separated
from his wife and had met her again
only last week and desired to know
whether she would stand by him
il he were in serious trouble. He
said that il she had not proved loyal
and true blue" he would have gone
to the electric chair.
Harris confessed the hoax to De

the fact because he wished, he said
TO talk with Mr.. Whitman and Cap
tain Carey. He placed a charge Of
first degree murder against the pris-
oner and ordered him held incoIn-

charge was withdrawn. Oswald said
that it was through his wife the
prisoners tale was disproved. He
let the woman and the prisoner talk
for an hour or so, after which Harris
admitted his story was untrue.

Premier Charged
With "Managingg"
British Strike
Prominent Politician Say S
Coal Mine Tieup biggest
Frameup'' in History
Of Country.
Bv 1oHN STEELE.

Chicago Tribune Cable. Copyright, 1921
London, April l0.-"The biggest
frameup in the history of British
politics" was the description applied
to the coal crisis this afternoon by
one of the best informed politicians
in England, who declares the whole
crisis was foreseen and managed by
Premier Lloyd George, who is plan
ming to dissolve parliament in June
and take chance on general cleo
ton securing him triumph as saw
ing the country from anarchy.
This man alleges Mr.. Lloyd
Georges private sources of informa-
ton told him there would be coal
strike about the beginning of April.
This was the cause of him attacking g
the labor party in speech a month
ago. He then definitely put labor
in wrong in the eyes of the conser-
vative Englishmen.
At the same time he prepared mil
itary measures for a show of deter
mination, while not neglecting to
get in touch with conservative labor
leaders, convincing them they would
get most OF what they wanted with
out the necessity of violence. Even
this moved just as he had planned
Radicals threatened the destruction
of the mines by the withdrawal OF
the bumpers, justifying his mobiliza-
ton of troops.
Laborites Alarmed.
The saner 1aborities, alarmed at
the situation, threw all their weight
in favor of a compromise, securing
the premier's help and if a settlement
arrives within the next day or two
as now seems certain, Mr.. Lloyd
George will be able to take the credit
of saving the country once again
This will commend him to the tory
party of which he now plans to as
sumo definite leadership, abandoning
liberalism which is politically dead
The tories are the strongest single
party in England today and are like
ly to increase in power at the next
election. 1t is also a fact that an
election soon will be necessary from
a constitutional point OF view. The
Irish parliament elected under the
home rule act, will cause the with
drawal of Irish members from the
Westminster parliament, upsettine
the balance of the various parties. Al,
factors combine to make June the
psychological moment for the world s
greatest politician to snatch another
triumph.
Marking Time.
Military preparations are more or
less marking time today in view OF
the imminent settlement of the
strike. | visited Kensington gar
dens, one OF London's great play
grounds where three battalions OF
guards are under canvas. Large sec
tons OF the gardens are turned into
military camp and crowds of chill
dren and nursemaids assembled this
morning to see the picturesque oerc-
mony OF mounting guard.
These guards are new troops and
are little more than boys, as the old
conscript war army has been de-
modified and the new troops have
seen only a year or less service.
However, they are magnificent
physical specimens and the officers
say the discipline is worthy of the
best traditions OF the guard. Many
were resruiting from the working
classes and the officers fear the re-
suit OF clash with strikers and
pray it will be avoided for the sake

a cheerful exception to the prevail

apartment houses, the most encour-
aging result of the tax exemption
is this springs growth of the lit
