] BIG SHIPS SAFE
Aerial Attack Against the Iowa
Not Success.
Only Two Hits Scored by Fight
ers of the Air.

On Board U. S. S. Henderson at Sea,
by Destroyer to Hampton Roads Ma
val Base. Va. June S0.-Officers of
the Atlantic fleet. who followed. the
air attack upon the discarded United
States battleship Iowa, were confident
today that the test has proved that
the modern battleship is comparative
ly safe from aerial bombardments.
Consequently there is great glee on
the Atlantic fleet.
About eighty bombs were aimed at
the Iowa by the four bomber ma
chimes that carried out the attack,
and the official report showed two di-
rect hits upon the Iowa's forecastle.
There was no defense from the Iowa.
The attack lasted two hours and
twenty-seven minutes. The fleet is
splitting up today and leaving the
Hampton Roads rendezvous for the
Fourth of July.
|, The Iowa was travelling about eigh-
teen miles an hour during the attack
and was steered in zig-zag course
by radio. There was no one on board.
The following facts were cited by
proponents of the battleships as OPP
posed. to, che aircraft:
1. The Iowa was sighted first by
blimps which were flying low, MAX
ing excellent targets for high angle
guns.
2. The first blimp was sighted at
9:57 o'clock and the first attack was
not launched until an hour and thirty
| minutes later, giving the ship under
battle conditions and battle speed
ample time for defense and changing
her course.
8. The first radio report sent out
by the scouting planes gave the posi-
ton of the Iowa twenty miles from
the spot where she was subsequently
located.
Naval officers contend the battle
ship is still the supreme fighter. The
proponents of the airplane were not
hsre to present their case.

Twenty-Five thousand refugees are

lombard the city.
A British force has been sent to
Yarimjk to disarm Greek refugees to
prevent them from drawing into the
neutral zone.
An attack by the Turkish national
lists upon this city is still a possibility.
1t is doubtful If there are sufficient

Cleveland. O., June s0.-Let the
eyes of the women of the nation turn
to the Kaber case. 1t may have far

( Francis Poulson, attorney for Mrs.
Katherine Eva Kaber, alleged hus-
band slayer, announced today that If

If the United States supreme court

By this faith she endeavors to drive
away thoughts of the death chair

With court adjourned until Tues
day, she spent most of today reading
Christian Science literature. Some
times, as in the court room, she closed
her eyes in silent meditation.
In the moments when even Mrs.
Eddy's teachings fail to comfort her,
she turns for solace to her cell mate

Chicago Packer Wires Dempsey and

With His Firm.
Chicago, June 30.-Monsieur Georges
Carpenter and Jack Dempsey. cheer
up!
No matter who loses the champion
ship fight Saturday, there will be a
job awaiting the loser at Morris &
Company, meat packers. Edward
Morris, president of the firm, today
telegraphed Carpenter offering him
a job as salesman at the Paris branch
if he should lose the fight, while to
Dempsey he wired that If he lost,
there would be a job awaiting him on
the company's police department at
the Chicago plant.
AS to further details of the offer,
Mr. Morris said his offer to Dempsey
carried with it free yellow and black
uniform with red buttons, while to
Carpenter there would be given a
white butchers frock.
He said if either position was not
to the taste of the fighters, he would
try to find the loser place on one of
his pig farms planting bacon seeds.

court with her. helps dress and
soothes her to sleep.
Today the possibility looms that the
defense may spring a surprise and, as
soon as a jury is impanelled. demand
a trial for Mrs Kaber on charges of
insanity. Under the Ohio procedure,
if they raise the question of insanity
before the state opens its case. the
court may order the impanelling of a
civil Jury to investigate the accused
woman's mental state. The state
could not try her for murder If she
were declared insane.

New York, June 36.--Jack Dempsey
and Georges CsrDon-itr viii meet in
installed today in the Jersey City
arena. This l. the minimum sized
fighting arena permitted under the
contract signed by the boxers.
The maximum was twenty-four feet,
and sporting men, both here and
abroad, expected that the Frenchman
would argue vigorously for a platform
that would give him more opportunity
for the skillful footwork for which he
is noted. The fact that no official
protest has come from the Carpenter
camp has given ground for rumors
Dempsey toe to toe.
Confusion arose last night over the
size of the ring because of the fact
that, altho it will measure eighteen
feet from rope to rope, there will be
an overhang of a foot or SO to pre-
vent the boxers from being knocked
from the stage.
Be Battle of Wits Also.
Before the gong rings at Jersey City
Saturday and while the big fight be-
tween Dempsey and Carpenter is in
progress, there will be another battle
going on-a battle of wits between
Jack Kearns and Francois Descamps,
managers of the rival boxers.
Descamps has an unusual reputa-
ton for craftiness. He is said to have
whole bag full of tricks. That he is
keen as a razor and quick as a cat to
take advantage of every opportunity
to discern an opponent of Carpenter
while in a ring or beat a rival man
ager to a mental punch before the bell
clangs, is well known.
Kearns is something of a "Hindoo"
himself at this game. He has han
died fighters a good many years and
never yet has he had anything put
q q 10 W
on his shoulders as a gross error.
Rehearse Battle Plans.
Both managers will have such bat
tie plans as can be made in advance
Of the actual conflict perfectly re-
hearsed with the fighters long before
ring time.
New Jersey law permits the use of
three thicknesses of soft cotton or linen
bandages with one thickness of sur
gical tape to hold them in place.
Another little matter that means
some sparring between Kearns and
Descamps will be the selection of cor
ners. AS usual. a coin is flipped for
this and in an open air fight the OBJ
ject is to get the corner facing away
from the sun. Carpenter has already
gotten an angle on where the sun
hangs at p. m. He overlooked
nothing that could have been to his
advantage when he visited the arena.
framing the bandages that Jack and
Georges will wear beneath their
gloves, Descamps, in particular, be-
cause he has heard the charge made
by Willard at Toledo regarding the
unnatural hardness of Dempsey's
bandages.
VIII Inspect Bandages.
1t will be remembered that Willard
claimed Jimmy Deforest, Dempsey's
trainer, used powdered plaster of
paris on tinfoil between the strips OF
adhesive tape that bound his ban
dages and that because of this, Demp-
sey's blows inflicted the painful
bruises that marked his face. Kearns
| denied this.
According to the rules governing
New Jersey boxing Referee Harry Err
tie will have the right to inspect the
bandages of both boxers and he has
received orders to do SO from the New
| Jersey boxing commission.
