Carpenter Sldps
Le1uis To Sleep
With One Punch

) OLYMPIA, London, May H.
Georges Carpenter, heavyweight cham
pion Of Europe, blasted the last British
ring hope here tonight when he knocked
out Ted Lewis in the first round.
Coming out Of a clinch after two
minutes of fighting, the Frenchman
crashed right handler to Lewis jaw
and the Englishman went to the canvas
for the full count.
The crowd of 10000, expecting to see
Lewis last at least three or four rounds,
with an outside chance to win, was
stunned by the dramatic climax of the
battle.
Disappointment gave way to indig-
nation and the crowd yelled "foul,
FOUL" claiming that the Frenchman
had struck Lewis in clinch.
The referee, however, took no ac-
tion.
Lewis Starts Rush
When the gong sounded, Lewis rush.
ed from his corner, apparently trying
to carry the fight to the Frenchman.
They went into clinch and were
parted. They clinehed again and the
reIeree warned tHeHs
In the breakaway Carpenter shot
over right hand to the jaw and Lewis
went down in heap to stay for the
full count.
Lewis landed couple Of lefts and
one good right hand after tho first
clinch. After Lewis had been carried
to his corner the crowd came out Of
its trance and pandemonium reigned.
The feeling was intense and when he
left the ring, instead of receiving the
ovation that has always been given
him here, Carpenter was bOocd and
Kissed.
The crowd gathered menacingly
around the Frenchman and he was hur-
ried to his dressing room.
During this excitement Lewis, who
had been revived, sat in his corner
looking as if he did not know what.
it was all about. The fight had been
scheduled for 20 rounds.
Lewis was regarded in the betting as
having only one chance in three to beat
the Frenchman and only one chance in
six to knock him out.
Dempsey in Ring
Before the fight the arrival of Jack
Dempsey, worlds heavyweight cham.
pion, put the two fighters out of the
spotlight. The champion was introduced
from the center Of the ring, and re.
ceived an ovation. -t
He shook hands with both fighters
and gave Carpenter friendly slap on
the back.
After stepping out of the ring Demp-
sey was presented to the Duke of York
and Prince George. The champion
smiled and said:
81 am glad to meet you.''
Lewis weight was not announced
but the scales were said to have been
set at 100 pounds and he did not move
the beam.
81 have no doubt that IN going to
win. Jack Dempsey and other experts
figure that IN sure loser, but I don t
see it that way" he said.
Carpenter stripped before stepping
on the scales. He tipped the beam at
175 pounds and predicted he would win
quickly.

TWO HELD IN
KHAN raid
CHARGE
L. A. Grand Jury Findings
Hinged On Separate
Prosecution
BOTH MEN WOUNDED
Scores of Orange County.
Citizens Listed As
Ku Klux

LOS ANGELES, May 11.-While the
county grand jury paused TO-DAY N 1ts
investigation, preparations were com.
pleted for the first prosecutions result.,
ing from the masked raid at SInglewood
April %.
Walter Mosher and Leonard Reugg,
both of whom were wounded in the
shooting fray with Night Aarshai
Frank Woerner which climaxed the
raid, were to be arraigned today be-
fore Justice Bair.
Both men are charged with assault
with deadly weapon with intent to
murder, Mosher's father, Deputy
Sheriff Mariner Mosher was killed in
the shooting.
Wholesale indictments Of other mem
bers of the raiding party by tho grand
jury are now believed to hinge upon
the progress Of the separate actions
against young Mosher and Reugg.
The grand jury, after hearing testi-
mony Of 90 men who voluntarily ap-
peared, halted its investigation to take
evidence on radical activities. It was
expecter, however, that the khan hear
ing would be resumed late today. Many
of the voluntary witnesses yesterday
were retieent, it was learned, and re-
fused to give other than perfunctory
statements.
The future conduct of the klau Wit
nesses, it is believed, depends mainly
upon what they were told by Grand
Goblin W. 8. Coburn and Attorney
Paul Barksdale D D'Orr, who addressed q
gathering Of more than 4e0 klansmen
last night. f
Scores of prominent Orange county
citizens were listed as members Of, the
Ku Klux Klan in memorandum hapd-
ed A. P. Nelson, district attorney at
Santa Ana, by District Attorney Wool
wine today.
This list, it was stated, was supple
mentary to q list supplied few DAYS
ago to Nelson who is investigating
khan activities in his county, and de-
sires to have names Of all members
there.
