the fire is unknown, and since the

Foster Refuses to Act

Newark, y. J.. June 2s-Vice-
Chancellor John Foster late today de-
clined To stop the Dempsey Carpen-
tier bout in Jersey City next Satur-
day
When a petition was presented TO
him by Representative of the Inter-
national Reform Bureau, asking him
to issue an injunction restraining
promoter Tex Richard from putting
on the contest Mr.. Foster asserted
that he could issue no such order
against a probable or intended viola
ton of criminal law.
He told the reformers that If it
We're found after Saturday that any
one had violated the state boxing law
they then could be held responsible.
Mr.. Foster passed on the petition
after ce-Chancellor Stevenson had
declined to act in the matter be-
cause he had too much work to dis
pose of before going on his vacation.
Mr.. Foster told the petitioners he
had no reason to believe that the au-
thoritieS in New Jersey would permit
the law to be violated and he assumed
they would stop the bout the moment
it became a prize fight.
The refOrmers contended that pro-
and principals had entered into q
conspiracy to break the law and Mr..
Foster said if this We're true the COM
plainantS should seek an Indictment
not an injunction.
