honor at dinner given by James
Brown, of Editor and Publisher, and
JOHN Nee. Bowman, hotel owner, at
the Hotel Biltmore last night to 100
sporting writers who reported the
world championship bout in Jersey City
on Saturday.
Francois Deschamps, Carpenters
manager, who was one of the speakers
said that the French puglst would not
tolerate a sponge in the ring
ave talked it over" said Deschamps,
before Carpenter went into the ring
and he said that there should be no
sponge. He said, let the beaten man 20
down with blow on the jaw, and that
as far as he was concerned, if he was
to lose, he would go down fighting and
with colors flying"
Carpenter in his address, which was
made through an interpreter, was pro-
fuse in expressing his gratitude for
the treatment he had been accorded in
America.
when I climbed into the ring
said Carpenter, 81 could see the people
were all the best in the nation The
greeting 1 received, however, made me
feel that they must have all been
French.
"For the last ten years it has been
my ambition and aim to be the world
champion. Last Saturday l had try
for it. You all know the result. l do
not wish to look to an excuse whatso-
ever. The man who beat me is the
best boxer in the world.
81 wish to extend all my thanks to
the American people, and especially to
the press for tho manner in which |
have been treated. And I now drink
a toast to the health of Jack Dempsey

JAPAN VICTOR
IN SHANTUNC
DECISION GIVEN
Obtained Goal She Aimed
For Before Arms
Conference
HAS BEEN TOKIO'S AIM
To Remain in Manchuria-This Stand
Regarded as Final-Naval Ton
mage Agreement Still Blocked.

Washington, Dec. Japan, after
careful maneuvering in the several
fields of discussion by the Arms Con-
ference, agreed today with alacrlty
to a plan for disposing Of the Shan
tung difficulty. Under this plan japan
and China will attempt to reach an
agreement by themselves.
Japan, it is felt, gained decided
victory, for this has been the goal
at which she aimed. But it is cause
for relief outside the Orient, for, II
the main Chino-Japanese difficulty IS
removed, Japan is expected to accept
without great delay not only the 5-o-3
naval basis but also various other
proposals on which the other powers
may agree.
At the same time Japan explained
the functions of her troops in China
and reafirmed the intention to with
draw them from various points-but
not from South Manchuria, where con,
tinuance is an absolute necessity" +"
This is regarded as final, regardless
/ of compromises on other Chinese
questions.
Italy is now expected to take the
lead in calling for a plan to fix land
armaments. The French are opposed
to it.
Although Japan made her formal
demand for the 10-10-7 naval ratio
and the naval experts were compelled
to turn the matter back to the main
Conference, it remains the belief that
the 5-5-3 Hughes plan, firmly backed
by Great Britain and American will
he accented next week.

Observation-Disclosures of the most
horrible murders in recent years was
committed about one mile north OF
the courthouse in East Cambria Sun
day night when Leslie Carter shot
and instantly killed his wife, Omie
Carter, near the front door OF their
residence, and made good his escape
before officers could arrive on the
scene. From best obtainable infor-
nation and the evidence before the
coroner's inquest, it seems that Carter
left his home for Christiansburg,
where he works in a garage, leaving
his wife and her mother, and two
white men, p. C. Iddings and H. c.
Yearout. at his house. Carter re-
turned later, coming by his fathers
who lived near his home, and got a
single barrel shotgun, and stood on
the outside of his house, and when
his wife was passing the door Just
inside he fired the entire load into
her head at close range, killing her
instantly.
