an expert gardner, suggested to the
attorney that he go some distance rom
the garden and get one of his wheel
man power cultivators Mr., Laurfschl
went to the shed and got wheeled
farm implement all right and had beenI
roofing up the soil with it for some
time when Mr.. Koppen called from

UNEMPLOYED MEN
RAID Restaurant

Montreal, Que, Jan. 2l-Unemploy-

to force the owners of big restau-
rants to feed them free, their leaders
Declared today.
This campaign was launched last
night when about five hundred urem-
ployed men paraded through the down
town district in a quiet and orderly
manner, entered a restaurant, and
seating themselves at the tables de-
manded food. The management or
dered food supplied, at the same time

While the men were eating and
while scores were standing outside
the restaurant waiting their turn to
eat, sixty patrolmen arrived and told
the crowd to disperse. Those out
side scattered. Those inside grabbed
what food was in sight and marched
from the cafe with pockets stuffed
with sandwiches, bread, and fruit,
some carrying pies and other edibles.
The demonstration seemed to be
thoroughly organized. The men march
ed with almost military precision as
they paraded to the restaurant. Many

New York, Jan. 21-The first round
of the Dempsey Carpenter battle for
the heavyweight boxing championship
of the world may be fought in the
courts.
Harry S. Hechseimer, attorney and
guardian of the boxers interests un-
der the original contract, has served
notice that he may bring suit against
any of the three promoters-Tex
Rickard, William A. Brady and
Charles B. Cochran-who seeks to
Withdraw his backing from the $780,
900 match.
AS the matter stood today, Brady
has definitely etfaced himself, Coch-
rams position is uncertain and Rick
ard has declared his intention of going
through with the match if he has to
stage it single handed. The latter eX-
pected to hear from Cochran during
the day and expressed confidence that
the London sportsman would abide
by the original articles of agreement.
Cochran Reported Ill
According to advices from London,
Cochran is i'll but has authorized his
secretary to state he had not been Of
ficially informed of Brady's with
drawal, and that he stands ready to
proceed with the match under the stip-
ulated arrangements providing a
purse of $5OO,OOO.
British newspapers, by the way,
have seized upon the tangled situa-
tion to pan the match to their hearts
content. For instance, the Evening
standard is quoted as saying:
John Bull Gets Too Much
"If it is true the match has been
called off the last word has been said
in what skeptics have described as
the worlds best joks.' While anxious
to see the fight take place, British
sportsmen We're sickened by the end
less round of press agenting and purse
boosting. Many bets were made
month ago that the fight would never
take place"
Rickard said that if Cochran in
forms him that he, too, wishes to with
draw there are a dozen men anxious
to associate themselves with him but
that he would prefer to promote the
match alone.

Ne VI HIGH SCHOOL

CLAIMS HAUGH TON
CHAIRMAN SCHOOL BOARD SAYS
NEW BUILDING ALREADY
CROWDED
COUNTY SHOULD
BOND FOR HOUSE
Already Has Lot and Palatka District
Is Providing High School For
All County

That bond issue be voted by the
entire county for the construction of
county high school is vitality. .,neces-
sary is the belief of Chairman j. H.
Haughton, of the county school board
He believes that steps should be TAX
en- Immediately to have the election
so that no time may be lost in reliev-
ing the congestion at the new school
building.~~
The new Palatka school building,
constructed from funds of the Palatka
school district, is now housing all
county hign school pupils. This was
all right so long as there was plenty
of room for the regular grammar
school children and children of the
Palatka district who attend the high
school. But there isn't a sufficient
amount of room in the new building.
Two more rooms are badly needed,
even before the new building is turn
ed over for use. There are over 100
pupils in the high school, many of
them from the county outside of the
Palatka district. Indications are that
the growth of the high school will be
as rapid during the next few years as
it has during the last two years, when
it has doubled in attendance. If this
proves true the present building will
not only be inadequate to take care of
the high school and the grammar
schools, but will also be inadequate
for the grammar school alone
County Has Lot
The county would not have to pur-
chase lot for a high school as the
one now owned on Oak street, between
Seventh and Eighth, would be an ideal
spot for the location of the school.
There is still some cloud to the title
for this property, but it is hoped to
get it, cleared up some time in near
future. 1t has been under inHestiga-
tion for several years, but so far
nothing definite has been done.
The school board cannot start to
work on plans for building the new
high school building until petition
has been presented by twenty five per
cent of the voters of the county asking
that bonding election be called. 1t
is understood that before this is done
campaign to show to the voters the
necessity of the school will be en-
tered into.

Montreal, Que, Jan. 21-Montreal
today was hot on the trail of the
Dempsey Carpenter fight.
Newspapers gave much publicity
to the move. One of them had BAN
ner across the first page reading:
Dempsey Carpenter fight for Mon
treal." This paper discovered that
there was no legal limitation on the
number of rounds that may be fought
in this city, although the custom has
been to limit fights to ten rounds.
A bill is now ready to be presented
to the provincial Legislature, provid-
ing for a boxing commission. This
commission is almost certain to be
headed by Pierre Belanger, chief of
police of Montreal, one of the most
enthusiastic boxing fans in the city.
He has already expressed himself as
favoring the bout.

New York, Jan. 21-Enrico Caru-
so, slowly convalescing after a criti-
cal illness with pleurisy, will leave
for Itay within a few weeks in an

With the great tenor definitely out
of danger as regards his life, the
efforts of specialists will now be con-

powers, with which be has thrilled
millions of persons throughout the

While Caruso's last experience in
Italy was far from pleasant, owing

Caruso is now permitted to sit up
for short periods each day and the
five associate physicians are called
into consultation with his private
physician, DR.. Philip Horowtz only
once a week. He has received a few
visitors within the last few days for
the first time since he was taken i'll
on Christmas day. He still refuses
to see newspapermen, however,
pleading that he wouldn't know what

Saying that it is still too early to

Vanderbilt for outdoor exercise, DR..
Horowitz indicated this would GER

Strong Physique Helped.
Caruso continues to receive scores
of kilograms, letters and floral gifts
from admirers throughout the coun-

room and once a day they are shown
to him in his chamber, afterward be-

institutions indicated by him.
