Dempsey had the edge" from every angle, he had the advantage in age. height. reach. punching power, and he proved to be quite as fast as Car pentier.
 Dempsey entered the ring shortly after o'clock. He looked to be in the pink of condition. He did not display any of the "Nervosity" which French writer accused him of be- ing subjected to, when about to en- gage in a grueling contest. He walk ed about the ring acknowledging the greetings of thousands of adm.rGr- CTS. his face draped with his accIs- toned grin.
 Georges followed a few moments later and was given q hearty reCep- ton, he had many admircrcrs in the arena. He seemed to be slightly ner- yous. The men were called to the center of the ring for the final in- struclions. and the gong sounded at 3:1S D. m.

on a number of claims in the Mayo district. and are at present engaged in doing some development work on | their claims"
 To further emphasize the conf dcuce that this district has inspired other big capital, COfIey said: The Consolidated Gold Fields company, of south Africa. thI tough their man ager. F. R. Burial. have taken an op- ton on about forty claims in the Mayo district. and expects to start active development work in the near future"
 That this distr,ct has not been thoroughly pruspected yet. is evi- dent by Mr CoMey's statement that, new discoveries are being reported almost monthly. in the extension of the mtucralizcd belt. and il is diff cult to assume. he remarked. the eN- tent of the minerulzed zone of the Mayo district
 Mr. COney further stated that. the government is eXpending approXi- matrly $2U.0UO in roads improvement work between Mayo and Keno Hill. a distance uI about forty miles. He ,urJher stated that the government was also cXpeuding some money OH river improvements, to aid river nav .-ution.
 According to Coffey, this road and river improvement will materially as sist in the development of this dis Jv.ct. It is aiso expected that a trail will be opened between the stations oI Miuto on the Yukon river and Mayo. during the coming summer, Mr. Cuucy. explained. this will bring Mayo nearer to the outside business rcu,rrs.
 "TEis district is further handicap ped." explained Mir. COffey, "on ac- roua, of wire communication. The only improvement not receiving at .cutiou al this time is in the way of telegraph or radio service. and it is hoped that some private concern will consider the installation of either one or the other of these services iu | ilc near future. A telegraph line IS HOW under construction between Mayo and the mines
 In speaking about government aid 10 tine small operators, Mir. CofIey said. William c. Sine, the govern mcut assayer is now located at Min 10 Bridge. with an assay office. This wili be of great assistance to the pruspecror as il will allow them to receive quick returns from any new discoveries.
 Another evidence of permanency. according to Mr. Cofrey. is the es- tabIishiug by Taylor and Drury co. Ltd. who have opened store at Mayo City. and according to Mir. Cof ley. il lS rumOreu that thlS company will carry a stock of goods aggre gating one hundred thousand dollars. by the time navigation closes.
 Nr. Coffey stated that he could not say just when he would return 10 the North, his stay in California would depend on his physicians, but his many friends will hope for his quick return, with a renewed body. and spirit. Mir. Cofrey is one of the landmarks of the KlOndike, having been actively engaged there ever since it's discovery. He will sail south on the Jefferson tonight.

PHIL CAMPBELL IS RAPIDLY BECOMING
 B|G COAL SECTION
Dreams of Many Years Devel- oping Into Rosy Facts and Apparently Every Farm Is
 Genuine Coal Mine

Phil Campbell, February 23.-(Special)-
 The 1owly denizen of this ordinarily
 quiet and serene little village is now daily
 startled by the heavy bombing of the
 powder blasts as development proceeds
 in the way of unearthing the black dia- monds'' from numerous coal mines with Tn earshot of the town. Only recently has blasting operations begun in the nearby mines. this being an indication of the fact. of course, that considerable pro- gress has been made in making entries and other development.
 ]. M Guthrie, owner of something over 100 acres of coal and timber land about two miles northeast of town, and having had many years experience in the coal fields of Jefferson and Walker counties. is now busily engaged in developing an opening on his property and brought in the first offerings from his mine to local consumers yesterday Mir. Guthrie had just finished opening up mine on the property of e. B. Messer. adjoining his
 interests. Mir. Messer has been ill for
 the last two weeks, and work in the mine has been temporarily suspended. MT. Guthries mine is so situated that he can easily construct and operate washer for
 his coal. and he stated today that it was his intention to do so at an early date. w. IT. Hornsby, while in town today

 And the Senate. it is certain, would not have taken action but for the threat of filibuster by these democratic senators. The republicans were ready to put the measure in such Dosition that it would have had to await it's turn which in view of the congressional jam" would never have come. The democrats in conse- uuence were forced to fight for the bill, which despite it's unsatisfactory contents, was judged better than no legislation at all.
 The attitude of the republican majority of the Senate led to the conclusion that the political strategists of that organiza- tion were convinced that the racial groups in the United States were more formid- able than organized labor, and those se- cret organizations which proceed against the Catholics in America

By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau Tho Age-Heralt 300 Davidson Building

Washington, February 23.1(Spe- cial.)-The insistence of the American Legion that the people of the United States awaken to the fact that Ger many is playing game in two parts against this governmes.s, the one in the form of insidious propaganda, and the other in an effort to amalgamate slisgruntled racial groups for political advantage, has put Washington to thinking and talking.
 There IS surprise expressed that the American Legion is just aware of the situation. Germany has conducted it's propaganda since the initial stages of the recent national campaign, and Ger many. by amalgamating the racial groups, contributed a yveman's part in the election of Senator Harding to the Presidency. These conclusions are un- challenged, although it Is stated with obvious truth that in the campaign, Germany was determined primarily to punish President Wilson. rather than to elect a pliabie German tool to the first office of the land.

 HYPHENS AID c. o. P.
 And there rises in this cOnnec-
 lion for consideration the pos-
 abilities of the immigration bill
 which the Senate has passed as
 substitute for the House bill
 which would have excluded all im- migrants for a period of one year.
 During the campaign it was
 early indicated that the Germans, the Italians and the Irish would
 support Hnrding--the Germans be-
 cause Wilson hnd checked them in
 their ambitious programme, the
 Itnlians because of the Plume de-
 cision, and the Irish because of
 strange belief that Wilson was
 hand fin glove with Great Britain.
 It is safe to conclude that Cover nor Cox received no vote from among the unusually large following of the foregoing nationals. When the foreign vote is added to the normal republican vote, and the solid negro vote, the answer to the problem. Why did Harding make such a sweep?" is evil dent.
 Immediately after the election, mem bers of the House concluded that an immigration bill must be immediately enacted. For preparing such a bill Representative Johnson of Washing ton, chairman of the immigration com mittee, called his committee together two weeks prior to the convening of Congress

The House very quickly enacted an exclusion bill. It went to the Senate. When inordinate delay developed, it was reported that republican politi- clans at the suggestion of the racial groups were made aware of the sup port of said groups in the campaign, and the danger in future campaigns of offending them.
 It was reported that the Senate con- mittee was advised to make haste slowly. That advice if given, was fol-
