ten properly.
Carpenter Ia resigned to the idea
that some American will officiate.
Jack Curley, who will advise Georges
in such matters, says there will be no
squabbling.
This, apparently, leaves the plum
hanging free for any one OF a score
OF men who have been suggested. But
there Is a new angle to 1.-THE ma
tive son" angle.
NAY BE JERSEY MAN.
We have II on good authority today
that the third man in the ring will
be a Jersey man. Our informant is
willing to back up his Judgment with
cash. 1t wouldn't surprise us II he
has the correct dope"
Two New Jersey referees have been
prominently mentioned--Denny Sui
Iivan and slim Brennan. Both are
competent, fearless officials. There is
no little rivalry between them for the
honor OF refereeinx the big battle.
Boxing critics throughout the coun-
try, however, lean toward other third
men" Jim Corbett, Tex Rickard, and
Ed Smith arc the leading candidates,
according to the best observations OF
the writer. Ricksrd can be scratched
now. He will be too busy taking
care OF the biggest volume OF fstic
business in history to think OF referee
ing. He would not accept the Job.
This apparently gives Corbett, Smith,
Sullivan and Brennan a lead over the
rest OF the field though there are
many other good men who deserve
consideration. PROMINENT among these
men are Bob Edgren. Bill Brown,
Otto Floto, Jimmy Doughcrty, Jim
Jeffries, Matt Hinkel, Harry Stout,
Remy Dorr. and Jim Griffin. IL
should be easy to select a good man.
HOW TO SETTLE wAGERs.
As the referee will not be permitted
TO render a decision In New Jersey,
boxing fans here and elsewhere are
wondering how wagers could be
satisfactorily decided should the bout
go the limit.
Along this line the writer has .
suggestion to offer.
There will be dozens Of newspaper
men on hand to "cover" the contest.
II might not be amiss should they get
together several days prior to the day
OF the battle, select by ballot com
mittee OF three competent and highly
respected referees to sit at the ring
aide, and. " the contest goes the limit,
meet in New York after the bout and
vote on y winner, providing there Ia
doubt IL 10 also suggested that the
identity Of the trio be held up until

hington.-President Wilson has
refused the request of railroad labor
union representatives that he investi-

fore the railroad labor board, that the
carriers must adjust wages or face
bankruptcy. He also declined to sub.
nit the matter to congress.
Confidence was expressed by the
president that all questions dealing
with railroad labor and management
might be left safely to the railroad
labor board and the interstate com.
merce commission. He accordingly in.
formed the labor and railroad repre-
sentatives that he was submitting
copies of kilograms received from them
to these bodies.
The reply of the president, on Sun
day. to two kilograms sent by the rail.

from the Association of Railway Elk

based on recommendations of Secre-
tary Payne, who still acts as director

MRS. PEETE is FOUND GUILTY
Life imprisonment Is Penalty Fixed
for SLAYER of Denton.

Lie imprisonment is penalty Fixed
for Slayer of Denton.
Los Angeles.-Mrs. Louise L. Peete
was found guilty by a jury, ON Feb
ruary 5, of murder in the first degree
for the Staying of Jacob Charles Den
ton. The jury fixed the penalty at life
Imprisonment.
In the trial of Mrs. Peete for the
alleged murder of Denton, which was
begun here January 10, the prosecution
sought. to establish tk9t Denton was
last seen alive June 2 last, and an
nounced the theory that he was killed
by Mrs. Peete on that date. A body
found September % in the basement
of the Denton residence was declared
to have been that of the missing man.
1t was shown that Mrs. Peete was
renting the house at that time, Den
ton retaining an apartment there.
Other testimony was that after June
2 Mrs. Peete pawned a diamond ring
which belonged to Denton and disposed
of wearing apparel and other of his
possessions, while several witnesses
asserted she had made contradictory
statements about his disappearance.
Mrs. Peete declared Denton was
alive after June 2, but she did not
know where he had gone. She as
serted she had his permission to dis
pose of the articles named. Her coun.
sci maintained that none of the prose-
cution's assertions in connection with
the case had been established beyond
Il reasonable doubt.
Mrs. Peete came to Los Angeles from
Denver month after the finding of
the body, announcing she would assist
the police in investigating the case.
Her Indictment and arrest followed.
