Merged by Governor

special Despatch 10 THE Nrw YORK
HERALD.
A LBANY, ". Y, June 30.-Gov.
~ Miller carried his policy OF
more centralized control to
the state Athletic Commission to-
day. when he named the three new

diction OF the Athletic Commission.
Gov. Miller has merged the two into
one. His action followed the ac-
ceptance of the designations of Lau-

commissioners named by Gov. Smith
last year. The new Athletic Com
rnissioners will now have absolute

Seems Unconcerned.

While millions of people throughout
the nation have worked themselves into
frenzy of excitement over the coming
contest. Dempsey, whose championship
is at stake. apparently was the least
concerned. Outwardly he was as happy
and frisky as a youngster as Ne sat on
the broad front porch of his house this
afternoon. cutting Joe Benjamin. one of
the sparring partners, and joking with
friends
Dressed in an old pair of trousers, a
silk shirt and a tattered dark red
sweater coat Dempsey sat for hours in
a swing on the porch laughing and smil-
ing with no thought of a fight or what
might happen to him Saturday after
noon. Some one had left some sheet
music of popular songs on the porch and
the champion sang them to any tune
that happened to strike his fancy. Once
he clamped a head lock, a Furnishing
wrestling hold, on the unsuspecting Ben
jamin. and squeezed until he yelled with
pain.
The only time any mention OF the fight
was made was when rain soaked mes

this at the champion:

last. Jack?"

III tell you." the champion replied with
a grin, his white teeth cleaning through
his unshaven features. ''Ill be an ex-
pert on the fight then myself See all
these guys sitting UP here? They think
: they are experts"
While few chosen friends sat with
him Dempsey partook freely Of run
ming conversation that touched upon al
most everything except fighting. He
/. frequently sprang out In a hearty laugh
and slapped whoever happened TO be sit

on the back.

Saturday, and the rain fell in torrents

togo out In the old airplane shed back

Japan Understood To-

Concessions

Washington, Dec. "A new stage
in the negotiations over the question
of naval ratios, described as very
favorable, is understood to have been
reached at tonight's conference be-
tween the United States, Great Bri-
tain and Japan.
After the conference between Sec
retary Hughes, Admiral Baron Kato
and Artur J. Balfour was concluded
the japanese delegation immediate
ly began communicating with Toxic
The conference lasted about two
hours and intimations were given at
its conclusion that basis existed for
some optimism. One delegations
spokesman referred to it as one of
the most important discussions yet
held, which would mean much to the
success of the conference as whole.
The result was most favorable, he
added.
There were some indications being
construed to mean that the japanese
view point on naval ratio was being
brought more into harmony with the
American plan. 1t was understood
that in the discussions of far eastern
affairs today some concessions of
opinion were made toward the Japa-
nese contentious regarding mainte-
nance of foreign troops in China.
By some this was interpreted as
meaning that the Japanese We're
