Advance Reservation Already
Heaviest in History.
$4,000 SEATS PROVIDED
Big Amphitheater Being Built
by Richard at Jersey City.
Over $50 of the $50 Seats
Ordered by ChicagOans.

New York, May 12.-Altho the
opening of the public sale of seats for
the Dempsey-Car champion
ship contest in Jersey City. July 2,
will not begin for several days, the
advance orders for reservations assure
a record breaking attendance.

Dempsey Willard bouts are certain to
be surpassed.
To Scat $4,000.
Official diagrams of the arena dis
tributed today indicate that the box
ing amphitheater to be built by Pro-
moter Tex Richard will seat fifty
thousand or more spectators.
The present plans. which are sub
five rows of $50 seats and more
than one hundred mezzanine boxes
which, it is understood, will be
occupied principally by women. Back
four rows of $40 seats and a SINH
lar number of S35 rows. These
in turn are followed by thirty rows
of $25 seats, three rows of $40,
twenty-one rows of SIS, twenty-five
rows Of $40, and eleven rows of $3.50
seats.
Many Already Reserved.
AS the arena is to be an octagonally
shaped structure with radius of
more than 200 feet, the number of
seats included in each of these eight
sided rows may be approximately es-
timated. In the fifty dollar section
alone close to four thousand seats al
ready have been reserved.
Orders for these high priced sec
tions are not confined to local patrons.
San Francisco and Los Angeles en-
thusiasts have paid for 800 and $50
seats, respectively. Two blocks of
Chicago orders call for a total of
seven hundred and fifty $50 seats and
an order for fifty similar priced cou
pons was received from London last
night, with the information that adj
ditional seats would probably be re-
quired as several large parties of Eng
lish sportsmen were planning to cross
the ocean for the bout. A cable also
announced that a block order was on
it's way from Paris.
Carpenter and his party are ex-
pected to arrive here Sunday on the
steamer La Savoie and Richard is re-
ranging for a special reception COM
mittee to meet them. Carpenter will,
it is understood. spend a day or two
in this city, and then go direct to his
training quarters at Manhassett, Long
Island where he will settle down to
rigorous training. which will be UNI
broken until he is ready to leave for
the ring in Jersey City.

Investigators want to answer.
The Writer recently heard a heated
argument between a hotel keeper and

chickens for the city market
He worked in a sad bit Of country
dotted with oil derricks and side hill
farms, infested with copperheads and
black snakes and rendered almost IN,
accessible by miry roads and hil,y
grades.
After six weeks work he had Just
shipped a lot of eggs and chickens

about $500.

the country hotelkeeper. What bus,

mistake OF not telling us the amount
you desire to invest
Inasmuch as you indicate that you
are able to buy an InterbOrough bond,
we assume that you have somewhere
between $3.50 and $500.
We should say a purchase of either
five shares of United Fruit, paying s

five shares OF Delaware. LaCkawanDa

USES WINDOW
 SASH ROPE IN
 HOSE TOWER

Charles Kelley, a veteran of 9 years service in the Bridge port Fire Department, commit ted suicide early this morning by hanging, in the hose tower at Engine House No. 2, on Cres- cent Lane. A window sash rope knotted about his throat and suspended from the hook of a block and tackle ended his life by strangulation.
 Not the slightest motive could be advanced today by either the Inan's family or his associates for his act, and his recent behavior and dispoSi- tion affords no clue towards estab- fishing a reason for his successful at tempt at Self-destruction.
 The body was discovered at 2:20 o'clock this morning by Lieut.. George Myers hanging from the block and tackle in the hose tower with the legs dangling in the ten foot pit be- low. The failure of Kelley, who was on watch on the alarm apparatus, to respond to a still alarm sent in at 2:1S o'clock led to the search that ended with the discovery of his life less body in the tower.

No New Clues In Bomb Explosion
 Investigation

Police Investigation of the bomb explosion which wrecked the home Of pr. J. D. S. Smith, 737 Lafayette St, carly Monday morning came to a temporary halt today. No new clues have been discovered, but detectives are now worki 2 on several bits of evidence which were secured shortly after the blast occurred
 It is understood that the police are still searching for the mysterious woman who is said to have been seen 1oiterins in the vicinity of Dr. Smith S home on several occasions, and who was also seen in the neighborhood shortly before the explosion Import ant developments will take place as soon as the identity of this woman
 Theories that the person or persons who set the bomb made a mistake and picked the wrong house have been dropped by the police as i'm probable. The general concensuS in police circles seems to be that the explosion was the work Of some for 1ner patient who bore a Grudge against the physician
