FIGHT PICTURES NOT

PARIS, July 21.-All France would have paid willingly enough to see Georges Carpenter knock out Jack Dempsey, but it is different mat ter when the result was different There has been a Carpenter slump The firm that has the right on nov ing pictures of the fight has discov- cred to it's chagrin that theaters have found that their clients are not so burningly eager to see the downfall of their idol that they need to pay the high price demanded for first exhibition rights. The films are due to arrive from America, but so far the firm with the selling rights has not been able to dispose of theii property and not a single movie the ater in Paris is billing the sight as an attraction.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-A re port published in the San Francisco Bulletin" that fund of 5000, 900 or more is being raised here to ef- feet, if possible, the open shop in the building industry, was confirmed by w. H. George. secretary of the Builders Exchange, an organization of contractors.

MODEL FARMS " kn -
 IN RUSSIA IN
 BAD CONDITION
Bolshevik Newspapers Criti- else Many Ventures of
 the Communists.

RIVAL, Esthonia, July 21.-Those who have the idea that Bolshevik newspapers printed in Russia say only rosy things about the country could quickly be disillusioned by perusal of the papers themselves During the past four months, the principal Moscow and Petrograd newspapers have been startlingly frank about some of the conditions that Communism has produced : The Moscow Economic Life not long ago wrote the following de scription of conditions on one of the Communist model" farms:
 "The farm presented picture of complete desolation. Foi. years there have been no repairs. Windows are broken. walls are falling in, and some of the buildings are in ruins Workers live in terrible. dirty rooms, black from smoke. In one ol the rooms there lives a calf. placed there by the foreman despite pro tests of women tenants.
 "There are neither potatoes nor vegetables for the workers. In the summer no one has bothered to store them. People are starving. cattle are starving. In the farm there are 32 persons, of these six are off cials.'
 The old program of the BolshevIk government called for an increase in the number of these "model'' farms. The new program by which the peasants are given nine years tenure of their land, practically does away with them.
 No less frank were more recent admissions in the Moscow newspa pers about the economic state Of Russian factories. some of whicl were shown to be producing les than per cent of what they pro duced before the war

HAWAIIAN SWIMMERS
 TO CHALLENGE WORLD

HONOLULU, T. H., July 21.-Ha- waian swimmers are planning to challenge swimming champions of the rest of the globe to defend their titles at an international swimming tournament to be held in Honolulu next October during the sessions of the Press Congress of the World, ac cording to George D. Dad) Center, president of the Hawaiian Associa ton of the Amateur Athletic Union The national Amateur Athletic Union has been asked to sanction the tour nament.
 The 40 or more countries repre-. sented in the Press Congress will be invited to send their best swim mers to Hawaii, if the sanction is received.
 Outstanding features of the meet, as tentatively arranged. will be two relay races, one of GOO yards and the other 1920 yards, in which picked teams of Hawaiians compete with picked teams from among all the visiting swimmers. In addition there will be regular swimming program covering all the usual dis tances.
 Fitting a team of Hawaiians against practically the remainder Of the world in the relays would appear to be a large contract for these islands. but the list of possibilities for places on the Hawaiian team pre- sents strong lineup. These in clude Duke Kahanamoku, worlds champion sprint swimmer and Olym- pie winner at Stockholm and Ant werp; Pua and Warren Kealoha, both world and Olympic champions; William Harris, Jr., another world and Olympic winner; Ludy Langer, still another globe beater and Olym- piad hero; Harold (Stubby) Kruger, sixth holder of similar honors; Clarence Lane, former title holder; John Kelii and George Cunha, both prominent Hawaiian swimmers.
 Among the girls who would con test for titles with such champions as Ethelda Bleibtrey, Charlotte Boyle and other mainland stars, would be Mariechen Wehselau, who recently swan Miss Blebtrey to dead heat in 50-yard race; Helen Moses, who was a member of the American Olympic team; Miss Els telle Cassidy, an Outrigger club star of Honolulu, and the Keliipio sisters of Hilo, both Island champions.

Germans Not Enthusiastic.

UermanS NOJ EnJHuSldSClc, e.
 German business men are appar- ently not enthusiastic about Rus sian business on the terms which the Bolshevist. agents offer, and there is no disposition to execute wholesale contracts without some thing more definite in the way of payment than Soviet signatures. German papers continue to be skep- tical about the possibility of trade with Soviet Russia, especially since the Soviet government has refused to grant admission to many Ger man business representatives who have sought to make an investiga- ton of economic conditions there.
 Recently a number of German fur dealers and leather merchants asked permission to visit Russia, but were denied vises. This caused much comment in commercial circles The Soviet government said it would admit these men if the government desired to send them as official trade experts. but would not allow them. to enter as representatives Of commercial concerns. Small ship ments of sample hides and furs were made by the Soviet government from Moscow to Leipsig, with the eX- planation that these samples would make it possible for German mer- chants to make contracts in Ger many for Russian furs.
 | The Soviet governments refusal to admit William F. Johnston, the president of the American Interna. tional Machinists, has also been much commented on by the German press, which express surprise a Johnston had been an earnest ad
