JACK JOHNSON'S
FRIENDS SEEKING
AID OF CONGRESS
Cold Shoulder Given Those
Asking Pardon to Allow Big
Smoke to See Fight.

Friends of Jack johnson. the dusky
former heavyweight champion. now
serving a term at the Federal peni-
tentiary for violation OF the Mann
act, have appealed to members of
Congress to help obtain a pardon in
time for him to see the Dempsey
Carpenter night on July 2.
That a small delegation is in Wash
ington for this purpose was revealed
by Representative Macarthur. Repub-
lican, OF Oregon, who refused to
listen TO their plea Other members
were visited, It was declared. as a
sort OF preliminary move to bring
ing pressure directly upon Attorney
General Daugherty TO release the ne
gro fighter.
1t is understood that little encour-
agement was given by any OF the
members seen. Those who have in
terested themselves in the sttompr
declare that the former champion
wants to be on the spot and chal-
ienge the winner as soon as the hg"t
is decided" They say he is to be
released on July I. his sentence hsv-
ing been shortened for good conduct
and believe they will be abl5 to OBJ
tain the Ave days grace.

Work on the monster arena In which
Jack Dempsey will defend the worlds

Georges Carpenter July is being
rapidly rushed to completion.
The arena is veritable ocean Of
lumber with tier upon tier of bench
seats in eight sections. stretching
outward from it's center where the

the big wooden bowl. from rim TO
rim. is more than a city block. yet
those who occupy seats farthest
away from the ringside will be able
to see the fight and the manner in
which the arena is being built is
unique.

Not Underestimate Jack.

Standing on q dusty beam in the hot.
stuny aeropiane shed back Of Jack
Dempsey's training quarters At Air
port, Pierre Maliet. close friend and
adviser Of Georges Carpenter.
watched the champion perspire
through forty minutes of bag punch
ing and boxing.
Mallet is Carpenters boon COM
panion at Manhasset. He is 4 broth
er OF Capt. Thierry MaIiet and ar
rived in this country several weeks
ago. He Is about Georges age and
they have been buddies for more than
ten years. He is from one of the
first families OF France, highly edu-
Gated and speaks perfect English.
In fact, he could pass anywhere for
an Englishman.
Georges young friend came down
here not as spy, for there is No
attempt to maintain secrecy at Air
port. but to see for himself what
sort OF . man the champion 10. He
rode out to the camp with Jim Cor
bett, greeted newspaper men cor
daily and had nothing but praise
for Dempsey. Nallet was duly I'M
pressed with Jacks left hand even
before he pulled on boxing glove.
DEMPSEY 10 STRONG.
"Ie is very strong" commented
the French visitor. "and q perfect
specimen of a man.

has ever been matched with In the
heavyweight class.

Georges was never better. We have
heard conflicting reports on Dempsey.
but IL 1 am q Judge, am sure he Is
in grand form.
I'VE have never underestimated
Dempsey, but you must remember
that Carpenter can also hit q terrible
blow. Dempsey counts on getting to
Georges with heavy body punches. but
he will find a fast, shifty boxer in

to assimilate the punches Georges Is
able to put over.
Georges is absolutely confident
that he will win. He doesn't say so.

Says There Used to Be Time When Chap

But that was when there were
more evenings than there were girls.
Now there are more girls than There

They used to sit out on the front
porch in the moonlight, drink root
beer and be scared to death that
father would catch them. Now they
sit in cafe, drink moonshine and
are scared to death that the police
will catch them.

II her name was in the Personal"
column of the paper once a week
Now she's not satisfied unless her
pictures on the front page every

In the good old days, II you'd 20
out with your girl and wouldn't hold
her hand, people would say you were
a gentleman II you 90 out with a

BATTALION CHIEFS
START PAY REVOLT
I3 Accompanied by 81 Cap
tains Ask Increase.

Thirteen battalion chiefs and forty
four fire captains kicked over the traces
yesterday and went to the Municipal
Public Service Commission to get an
increase of pay in the face of the pro-
test Of Chief John kenlon Of the Fire
Department.
Chief Kenlon followed the men to
the commission chambers. stayed long
enough to get into an alteration with
Charles l. Stengle, secretary of the COM
mission, and stallxed out in a huff
The battalion chiefs were led by Bat.
talon Chief James e. Heffernan, while
Capt. George G. Hogan was at the head
of the captains. The battalion chiefs
desired a ruling upon an application to
be made acting deputy chiefs of the de-
partment and the captains desired q
similar ruling making them legally act
ing battalion chiefs.
Since the two platoon system went
into effect the thirteen battalion chiefs
have been acting as deputy chiefs dur
ing the off hours of the regular deputy
chiefs, and the forty-four captains have
been acting as battalion chiefs under
similar conditions. II their requests
were granted the salaries OF the cap
tains would be increased from $500 to
s4.5GJ a year and the pay of the bat
talon chiefs would go from 1880 to
$500.
Morris CulSor. president of the COM
mission, advised the firemen that the
commission is without authority 20
remedy their condition. and suggested
the proper relief would be TO go before
the Board OF Estimate and have the
positions they are filling officially
created and appropriations made thorc-
for. Such an appropriation would
amount TO approximately $4,000 year.

ON TICKET SCALPERS
Must Act on TlUo Bills Before
Sunday.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, Feb. s5 !
Gov. Miller must act on the two ticket
spectators bills before SundSy. To-
night he was still undecided on the con-
stitutionality of the bill. making it a
crime for a licensed speculator 20 sell
ticket for more than so cents above
the box office price. He was asked this
afternoon If the ticket sellers could not
be forced to stamp their price on the
tickets. He said that that might be
done.
Briefs were filed to-day with the Cow
ernor. from the opposing attorneys who
appeared at the hearing before him yes
terday, and he will go over them care
fully before acting. The bill driving
the scalpers off the streets and out OF
the corrd ors and Railways is expected
to be signed, the doubt in the Governors s
mind being only over the licensing bill.
Gov Miller was asked If he favored
State censorship Of moving pictures. as
provided in the Clayton bill He said
that he had not made up his mind on
the subject. but that there were many
pictures that would stand improving.

Father Duffy Steps In.

Sir Philip by then had been talking
for half an hour, and the great body OF
the audience was either with him or
deeply interested in him. Suddenly when
a feminine voice was raised in a gallery
and a chorus OF other feminine voices
caught up the cry after her there was a
lack of gusto about it, and other cries
came from all over demanding her 81
lence. Here Father Duffy cut in.
He walked to the platform and ex-
plained who he was, and in the first mo-
nent of silence told the audience that Sir
Philip was the man who had done more
to restore the truth in regard to Ireland
and the war than any other man who has
written then he told those who were do
ing the shouting that they must be
nropagandists against Ireland, and ST.
lence fell in the house.
And so Sir Philip thanked him and
went along with his lecture. He was
interrupted rather regularly, but with no
great force behind it. until he concluded
his talk at nearly 10 80. Then he left
the platform with nearly all the house
standing and cheering him for a con-
Guiding statement he made to the effect
that he believed the bulk of the people
In the United States considered that
self-government for Ireland without
complete independence would meet all

Pat Glen stood UP in the gallery while
Sir Philip was speaking and shouted :
Take him off Take him off !" Police
man Francis Bertch of the West Forty
seventh street station heard Pat and
took him off to Night Court. where Mag
istrate Ten Eyck fined him $40. Pat did
not have the money, so the Magistrate
suggested he spend two days in jail.
