Dempsey Attacked
BY Congressman
I'm Opposing Bout
Massachusetts, Representa-
tive Introduces Measure
to Pay Soldier Bonus Be-
fore Allowing the Fight
From The rribuns.s WASHINGTON Bureau


WASHINGTON. June 8.-An attemnt
is to be made in Congress to postnone
the Dempsey Carpenter fight until "a
reasonable and fair bonus for those
who served in the World War has beer
agreed upon" A resolution with this
purpose was introduced to-day in the
House by Representative James CALI
van, Republican, of Massachusetts,.
The measure states that millions Of
Americans thaye been waiting for &C.
ton by Congress to solve the question
of adjusted compensation and that the
millions of dollars which the cham
pionship fight will cost the American
public could be devoted to this rurnose.
"The millions which the Demnsev-
Carpenter fight will cost the American
public could very easily be devoted to
adjusting the pay of the real fighting
men, namely, the young chaps who
went into the army and navy Of this
country in the recent World War 1t is
notorious fact that Dempsev showed
himself to be big bum in that war
when he lodged the draft. and unless
l mistake, France was in distress and
had been fighting for months before
Carpenter Joined the color of his
country. After he did get into uni
form, it is alleged he did good service.
but my mind goes back to the early
days Of the war, when he was engaged
fighting as prize fighter for money.
"The men who will pay $50 for a
ringside seat to look at these two fight
ers' overwhelmed members of the last
Congress with their letters of protest
against paying a mere pittance of a
soldiers bonus to real champions, 1t
would not have cost these men indi-
vldually $50 to have helped meet the
cost of soldiers bonus bill, but they
are willing to pay that much and more
because of travel and hotel expenses,
etc, to see these men gather in about
$l,0Oo,OO0 pummelling one another. !
am for. the soldier boy, and until this
bonus bill is passed | think that the
Wall Street broker, and the steel mag
nate from Pittsburgh and the Chicago
banker, who helped defeat the soldiers
bonus bill in the last Congress, should
DC deprived of what they consider the
greatest pleasure of their lives.
II shall certainly press for the pas
sage of my resolution. 1t is unneces-
sary for me to state that I have been
intensely active in athletics, includ-
ing boxing, all my life, and that do
attend genuine boxing matches when
ever get an opportunity. But l am
opposed to this international bout on
American soil, where millions Of Amer
lean money are to be wasted, until the
American service men and women have
been fairly treated by the American
government"

Recruits for Plat!tsburg
Camp Now Number ZIP
Ninety-fve Per Cent Of Appli-
cants Under 2l: Hundreds
of Inquiries Received

Ofhcers in charge of recruiting for
the Plattsburg military training camp,
to be held August to September I,
report so far TIP final applications for
admission. Of this number forty-four
were received yesterday. Inquiries and
requests for application blanks are be-
ing made at the rate of about 500 to 600
day. Only about per cent of the
applicants are more than twenty years
old.
Colonel S. G. Shartle, of the I'd Army
Corps Headquarters, Governors Island,
said the camps senior instructor,
Major Thomas L. Crystal. had been in
structeds to take into account in form
ing the training companies the varying
ages and individual abilities of those
to be admitted The announcement is
taken as an indication that boys of six
teen or seventeen will be placed in
companies separate from those made
up of older men.
Regarding some opposition to the
mixing of men of extreme youth and
more mature years, Colonel Shartle cx-
planned that no student would be given
more work than he was capable Of do
ing, and that their classification for
drill purposes would be left largely
to corps of specially selected medical
officers.
Boys from sixteen to twenty-one are
especially desired for the camp, and
those from sixteen to seventeen will
receive special consideration.
The Military Training Camps Asso-
citation, under whose auspices the 1921
camp is to be held, will ask employers
to grant four-week vacations to those
of their employees who desire to enter
the camp, the last two weeks of the
vacation to be taken at the employee IS
own expense.

Hardings Welcome
Wounded Heroes
To White House
Members of Cabinet Assist
in Entertaining Service
Men; Blind Among 1000
Guests From Hospitals
From The Tri5nae's Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, June 8. - Like the
stirring days Of the war was the scene
presented on the White House grounds
to-day, when the President and Mrs.
Harding gave a garden party exclu-
sively for the wounded soldiers, sailors
and marines. The entire personnel Of
1000 men from Walter Reed Hospital
the Naval Hospital and other nearby
institutions moved on the White House
and completely took the spacious man
sion and it's grounds. The President
and Mrs. Harding were enthusiastic at
being with the wounded soldiers and
personally greeted every one. The Ma
rine Band played the popular songs and
some OF those that resounded through
out the country during the war Khaki
blended with navy blue, with the white
Of the army nurses and the lighter blue
OF the Red Cross and reconstruction
workers.
Almost all the members Of the Cabi-
net were present. The gayety was not
without it's touch of pathos. A long
line of wheel chairs, each bearing a
man too grievously hurt to walk, headed
the line Of soldiers. There were almost
one hundred such cases, but each
WOuiusu hppEIcutly WAS gay. men
came the fifty blinded soldiers, which to
the spectators who watched it, was the
saddest incident Of the afternoon. Mrs
Harding was visibly affected. She con-
trolled herself with difficulty as the
stumbling, hating line of heroes fled
by.
All types and ranks of wounded men
were present. The soldiers formed
"mess lines" at the refreshment booths
and by so doing speeded up the oppor-
tunity to sample the White House ices
and cakes. There was all they wanted
to satisfy their appetites, just as Mrs.
Harding told them there would be.
Secretary of the Navy DENLY corralled
fifty wounded bluejackets and marines
and personally conducted them through
the White House. Secretary of State
Hughes on several occasions assisted
in moving a wheelchair where it's oc-
cupant might obtain a better view.
Scores Of attractive girls were present
to minister to the soldiers The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding, walked over to
an automobile containing men unable
to walk and personally greeted them
Mrs. Harding jumped up on the run
ming board to extend her hand to
veteran.
Gee, Mrs. Harding, but this is
great" he said. The President was
made much of by the wounded men.
He come through, didn't he?" one
buck private with an arm gone was
overheard commenting to buddy. At
previous garden parties there was dane
ing in the East Room of the White
House. Mrs. Harding ordered it omit

wounded men, who would have been
compelled to forego the pleasure of
dancing in the White House.

Complains Of BraziI's Envoy
Negro Declares Vice Consul Re-
fused to Wise Passport

Philip Nolte, a native of the Virgin
Islands and citizen of the United
States by virtue of seven years service.
in the United States Army, has com
planned to The District Attorneys office
that Sefor Muniz, the Brazilian Vice
Consul here, has refused to wise a pass
port because of the fact that he is
negro. Nolte, who has saved some
money, is anxious to look over the
various investments possible in Brazil.
The United States government passed
on his passport, but when he asked
that it be vis6d, according to the story
told to Assistant District Attorney
Ferdinand Q. Morton, who also is a
negro, Senor Muniz told him his gov
ernment did not desire negroes to en-
ter the country. Morton wrote to the
Secretary of State and received reply
stating the matter should be taken up
with the Brazilian Ambassador in
Washington, as the government was
not an intermediary in having pass
ports vised.

Broker Sqtaandered
War-Bride Fortune,
Ex-Associate Says
Duff Wrote for Rum While
in Army; Wife Left Him
Because of Extravaganza,
Travis Charges in Suit

Frederick A, Travis fled an affidavit
ing Jay Robinson Duff, his former part
ner in brokerage firm, of using about
100000 belonging to the firm, and as
serting that he had been proaigate
spendthrift with war-bride fortune.
The affidavit was an answer to an
order to show cause why an accounting
should be had which Duff obtained
after Travis had applied for an ac-
counting.
During 1919, Travis says, the busi-
ness netted profit of more than $780,
600. In response to claims made by
Duff that he spent nearly eight months
in the army, Travis replies:
''The entire time spent by the de-
fendant in the army was not more than
four months, beginning October, 1917,
to January, 1918, and during that time
he never saw military service. He fire.
quently wrote to me and requested that
| send him cases of whisky, which ] re-
fused to do.
"As result Of his extravaganza and
spendthrift conduct his wife refused to
live with him further, and / am in
formed that she wentto Paris and sued
him for divorce l am informed that
ne was sued Dy ms father-1n-laW Tor
large sum, and that he is now paying
the amount in installments. I believe
that during 1920 Duff went to Paris in
regard to his wife's divorce suit, and
during the time that he was away from
New York continually drew drafts upon
the firm and spent large sums of money
in Paris"
In response to the allegations Mr..
Duff, who is now engaged in business
at &c Broadway, said:
That's all bunk. Travis had access
to the books at all times. | knew moth
had quarter of million dollars 'on
the books and found less than $40 in
the bank"
