ton was ended here Thursday night
Attendance. was rather light. due
probably to the heat, according to u
e. Whaley, Springfield, Ohio, man,
ager of the show. He placed total
attendance at about 25,OOO:
The demonstration was the most
successful ever held from an educa-
tional viewpoint, he said, adding:
'"The test work by the tractors was
not race-it was an effort to do an
honest job in a workmanlike manner,
to show the efficiency and economy OF
the tractor. The figures on the tests,
when they are given out, will show
power is cheap and efficient as com
pared to horses.
"These figures will not be given
out until later, officials of the show
declared.
Three horses are dead and two more

New York Braces Itself
Against First Shock of
Advancing Fight Fans
Betting on Dempsey
'Slu1nps in an Effort
to Shorten the Odds;
Six-Round Bet Made.

New York, June 3O-The flight
wave," sweeping thousands of enthusi-
asts from distant points, will engulf
Manhattan Friday.
Several special trains, numerous
special cars and extra sections on vir-
tually every first class train between
western points and New York will de-
posit their quotas within the confines
of the metropolis by evening ready
for the concerted advance across the
Hudson river to Jersey City early on
Saturday.
The Woodland Bards, Chicago's
famous organization of sports enthusi-
asts viii arrive Friday evening on a
special and their cars parked in the
Jersey City yards near the arena. =
Betting on the outcome of the fight
in the financial district here was very
light Thursday. For some reason,
presumably for the purpose Of short
ening the odds on Dempsey, followers
Of the American withdrew their sup
port almost entirely. At the same
time plenty of Carpenter money was
offered through several brokerage
houses, the Frenchman's supporters
demanding heavy odds.
One of the wagers reported Thurs
day was on the proposition that Car
pentier would not respond to the can
for the sixth round. Money, which
way said to come from the Dempsey
faction. was freely offered on the
phase Of the fight and was accepted in
moderate amounts by Carpenters
followers.

NAVAL BILL TIED
UP IN SENATE ON
CHANGES BY HOUSE
Technical Lapse in Funds
Caused by. Deadlock, but
Solution Hoped for.

Washington, June 3O.-Objections to
house reductions in the naval appro-
priation bill Thursday tied up the
measure in the senate and with all ap-
preparations expiring with the fiscal
year at midnight Thursday, caused a
technical lapse in funds.
Final disposition of the bill Friday
was the aim and hope Of leaders of
both the senate and house, but they
were prepared to rush through an
emergency resolution, continuing pres
ent naval appropriations, should the
deadlock continue.
Numerous conferences were held be-
tween senate leaders and once it was
decided to yield to the house on all
points and rush the bill to the president
to avoid lapse, of the appropriations.
Later, however, it was decided to throw
the entire matter into the senate Fri
day with the result in doubt.
Senate opposition to the house con-
ference report was largely on two
items-elimination of all provisions
for airplane carriers and house
amendment broadening the retirement
law SO as to extend regular retire
ment pay and other privileges to en-
listed men as well as officers Of the
reserve corps.
Elimination Of appropriations for
the Sand Point, Wash, aviation base
also met objection,

CARPENTER MONEY
ON BOULEvARDS Of
PARIS, IN SATCHELS
Under Secretary of State for
Sports Will Wire Challenger
Good Luck.

Paris, June 3O.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-Georges Carpenter will
receive, a few hours before he enters
the ring in Jersey City, Saturday to
meet Jack Dempsey, a cablegram
signed by CASTOR Vidal, under-secre-
tary of the state for sports, wishing
the Frenchman "a fair and even break
Of luck in the battle of your life"
Almost the sole topic of converse
ton here has to do with the approach
ing fight. Many prominent financiers,
although worried over the financial sit
uation, expressed the opinion that it
was a good thing ''that the attention
of the public is centered on the fight
rather than on the financial situation"
Madame Carpenter has requested
L'Auto to telephone to her home the
details, round by round.
About noon Thursday for the first
time since the fight was arranged, there
appeared on the boulevards money to
bet on Carpenter. Two men, one
carrying a satchel containing many
francs, entered cafes and expressed
Carpenters chance to win. They
were accommodated with about twenty
thousand francs.
The men with the satchel Of money
are both intimate friends of Charley
Ledoux, the French bantamweight
champion, who is now at Manhasset
with Carpenter, and it was whispered
quite loudly that the receipt of a tele-
gram from Ledoux had much to do with
their optimism.

Poughkeepsie, June 3O.-Six more
hours of cross examination failed
Thursday to break the silence of James
A. Stiliman, wealthy New Yorker, on
matters having reference to his -cla-
tions with Florence Ell. Leeds, former
Broadway show girl, named by Mrs.
Anne U. Stillman, in her affirmative
defense against her husbands suit for
divorce.
Mr.. Stillman replied to question after
question in one set way-T refuse to
answer on the ground that it might
tend to incriminate me- On only a
few occasions did Mrs. Stilman's law
years bring out an affirmative answer.
Mr.. Stillman answered their questions
only when they referred to gifts of
jewels to his wife. Thursday night it
was announced that the cross-examina-
ton had been completed.
It was said that Mr.. Stillman's law
years would soon complete their case
tnre hearings would be devoted to her
counter-attack.
Contentious Of Defense.
An indication of the nature Of this
came in the numerous questions which
Mr.. Stillman refused to answer. These
inquiries, it was said, sought to bring
out that the banker was intimate with
Mrs. Leeds in New York, on Long
Island, aboard his yacht, the Mod
esty," and elsewhere. and that she bore
him two children, Jay Leeds. 5 months
old, and another. who died at birth in
1919. The defense also sought to have
the witness say that he showered Mrs.
Leeds with jewelry, bought her fur

CAT CREEK
HAS OIL TO
LAST FOR 20
YEARS, CLAIM

lewistown, June 3O.-ProbabIe prof
table production Of oil in the Cat
Creek field for 20 years entered as a
factor in the rehearing Of the state
railroad commissions order of April
10, fixing pipe line Transmission charges
at 32l2 cents a barrel, which was OBJ
lected to by the Elk Basin OIL and
Refining Co., as excessive, with a
counter offer Of Is cents a barrel as
sufficient and equitable.
The commission at the close of the
hearing took the matter under con-
sideration.
The large court room here was
niied during the proceedings. The
Elk Basin and the Midwest. the latter
now subsidiary Of the Standard Oil,
torney for the Elk Basin; S. K
keouoghan, vice president Of the Elk
Basin; c. W. CoIgrove, for the Mon

Tax on Producers Charge.
Much of the morning session was
taken up by the opening statements,
Mr Ilark speaking for an hour and
a half for the Elk Basin, contending
that the high rate proposed, 32h
cents barrel, was simply in it's ef-
feet tax put upon the producers to
help out premature pipe line con-
Germ that was not required by the
existing conditions in the CatCreek
field.
c. W. Colgrove, opposing the peti-
tition to have the lower rate estab-
lished, dwelt upon the present output
of the Cat Greek field as in excess OF
the capacity of the Elk Basin line and
the certainty, as he claimed of notable
increases in the amount Of production
making additional facilities a necessity. :.
he claimed the charge of 3211 cents to-
be fair and reasonable, all things con-
sidered.
Estimates Differ Widely.
Much time was taken up in endeav-
oring to secure estimates as to the
probable increase of production in the
near future, the opinions as to this
differing widely. The most striking
thing said during the whole hearing,
80 far as the public is concerned, was
the statement of Mr.. Keoughan, to the
effect that the Cat Greek field was
good for 20 years as q profitable field
for oil production.

he ever posed as f. IL Leeds and gave

There were others bearing on the ac-
cusation made that Mr.. Stillman and
Mrs. Leeds conspired to bring the pres

answered.

EW TARIFF ADDS BILLIONS
TO COST OF LIVING, CHARGE
Conflicting Views of
Tax Burden Imposed
on People by G. O. P.
Measure Expressed by
the Leaders of Both
Parties in Congress.

Washington, June 3O.-Sharply con-
Gicting views as to the tax burden to
be imposed on the American people by
the administrations tariff bill were ex
pressed Thursday by Republican and
Democratic leaders of the house.
Counting the, free list, the average
duty rate was estimated by Chairman
Fordney of the ways and means COM
mittee at between 18 and 20 per cent,
compared with the 1855 Payne-Aldrich
average and the 6 per cent average
under the present Underwood measure.
Mr.. Fordney insisted, however. that
the average, after an accurate esti-
mate, would range lower than Payne
Aldrich schedules.
Highest Since Civil War.
Taking issue with the chairman.
Representative Garner, Texas, ranking
Democrat on the committee, declared
the rates, considering the American
valuation provisions. were higher than
those in any tariff bill passed by con-
gress since the civil war. Quoting
statements Of Republicans that the bill
If passed as written, would bring in
about 800, 600, 900 annually, Mr.. Gar
ner charged this meant an additional
cost of at least $1,000. 100000 and
that the larger portion of this burden
would fall upon the actual necessities
of life" &4us
Subject Of Controversy.
The upshot of all tariff talk verified
predictions made before the bill was
introduced Wednesday that the ques-
ton whether the new rates, taken as
whole, were higher or lower than the
Payne Aldrich duties would be subject
of unending and everlasting contro-
versy and discussion.
Members generally found the 346-
page bill almost bewildering. There
was resentment against some of the
schedules by Republicans, but broadly
speaking, members stood on the bill ac-
cording to party affiliations. There
was howl from the Democrats over
the free list, which, they insisted, had
been too sharply reduced.
No definite agreement was reached
at caucus Thursday night on the pro-
ceedure to be followed in the house.
A tacit understanding, however, was
reached that many of the contested
rates should be placed before the house
for straight amendment, separate con-
sideration and vote. M.@.
Contested Subjects.
The contested subjects include oil,
lumber, and hides, now on the free list.
and the provision respecting control OF
dye importations. On all rates not to
be put to straight amendment vote.
the Republicans, it was said. would be
asked to stand solidly behind the COM
nittee action.
The tentative plan provides for about
10 days of general debate after which
a special rule will be sought to pre-
vent amendments except through the
committee or to the contested list.
