The Carnegie Medal Award COM
mission of New York City have re-
ported on the case of Albert Schmidt
of Prescott, who last summer saved
five people from drowning in Lake st.
Croix, to the effect that no medal can
be awarded in his case as it does not
come under the rules of the Commits
sion. However, in the minds of the
five, and all others VINO are acquaint-
ed with the facts of the case, Mr..
Schmidt's act will always be remem-
bered as deed of splendid heroism.

No Carnival Boxing

There appears to be a persistent
rumor that one of the features of the
Carnival program is to be a boxing
match in the Armory. The Committee
has entertained no idea of. putting on
a boxing match, and furthermore, it
could not be legally staged by the
Legion anyway. On the two days of
the Carnival the Armory and the main
floor of the garage will be turned
over exclusively to the Legion, and as
this Post has no state license for
staging boxing bouts no such enter
tainment can be included in the Car
nival program.

the clang of the gong Chapman rush
ed Sauro into neutral corner and
they both went down. They We're up
in an instant, and the local boy landed
one-two that floored Sauro again.
The st. Paul boy came back and tried
to reverse the score, but encountered
a straight right on the point of the
chin that caused him to rest up for
the count of nine. Chapman was on
him again and Sauro took another 8
count. He came back gamely and
there was a minute of furious in
fighting, which proved that the visit
or knew how to use his fists, and that
Chapman could take punishment as
well as give it. 1t was Chapnan's
round, and the st. Paul boy was
clearly in for lacing if he continued.
Realizing this, evidently, he flop
ped at the first blow in the second
round, and stayed flopred. The re-
fierce started the count, then stopped
it to urge Sauro to resume fighting,
believing the st. Paul lad to be only
playing possum to escape further
punishment. Getting no response from
the rrostrate fighter the referee call
ed the fight off. Although Sauro was
not counted out, Chapman is credited
with a X. o. victory.
The Parsons Bennett bout gave the
fans six mighty entertaining rounds.
Both of these boxers showed lot OF
improvement over their last go. Ben
net did practically all of the leading,
but both got in some good healthy
wallops.
The curtain raiser was snappv
one, and the audience cheered both
boys for their good work. Young Gil
len was slightly bested by Finley, but
the Hudson boy was certainly game.
Gillen was floored in the first round.
and in the second stanza he went
through the ropes onto the floor,
striking upon his head. But he came
back and did his best to even the hon
ors. Finley had the advantage in foot
work and the ability to use both
hands, while Gillen worked entirely
dependent upon slow but powerful
right. An innovation was introduced
between rounds of this bout when one
of Finley's seconds produced comb
and proceeded to tidy Tommy's POM
padour.
Referee Dave w. Quinn of Eau
Claire was up against rather knotty
problem in this, his first program un-
der the State Commission, but con-
Quoted the bouts pretty much to the
satisfaction of the fans. The st. Paul
delegation, however, were not so en-
thusiastic over the rulings, as they
were apparently somewhat adverse
to actually earning their money. 1t
is expected that Steinhauer, who Of
ficiated here in the first program,
will be engaged as referee next time.
William Hart, representing the
State Athletic Commission was pres
ent. He upheld the referee in stop
ping the main bout. Despite the poor
roads, Hudson, Ellsworth and Prescott
were represented in the audience. Two
"fannettes" were among the st. Paul
delegation.

Judge r. G. Stafford to report this

declared this change was not in any
way connected with the policy he has
in mind for assisting the grand jury
in its probe of the Ku klux Klan.
That second call for veniremen

TALK PLANS
SELLING
GERMAN BOND
ISSUE HERE
Attractive Security Must
Be Offered Before Such
Loan Would Be Made
Says Secretary Mellon

WASHINGTON. June 6-Rear-
rangement of the present scheme OF
German reparations is to be expected
of tangible results are obtained py
the conferenc of international bank
ers now discussing a loan to Ger
many at The Hague. in the OPINION
today of high government officials.
Officials il. close touch with fl
nancial and economic developments
in this country and abroad expressed
the view which was coincided in by
Secretary Mellon, that German bond
issue lid not be floated in the
United States which would be looked
to for most of the loan unless at
tractive security is offered.
Laying aside political conslderas
tions involved in a possible rear
rangement of reparations payment
and basing their conclusions upon the
money market conditions in this
country. officials asserted that unless
bonds issued under the terms of an
international loan to Germany We're
to have priority in German revenues
as security in preference to the ex>
listing reparation bonds, very few of
the new obligations would be absorb
ed in the American market. Under
the present reparations arrangement
officials explained, the A. B. and C.
reparations bonds for approximately
100,000000 gold marks have priority
for their payment in all German rev.
enues but issue of the G. bonds
for about half of the total has been
withheld by the reparations commits
sion until it can be determined If
Germany can meet the interest upon
the $50,o00,0 100000 of the A. and b.
bonds. Under the latest arrange
ments, officials explained, Germany is
only required. after the expiration Of
the present moratorium. to pay about
$500. 900, 900 year, of which $1S0.000,-
600 is to be in cash and the remainder
in kind.
1t would appear then, according to
government economic experts, that
about $1S0,000, 900 or $500, ,000. .000
which Germany might be able to pay
in interest yearly. would have to be
the basis upon which loan could be
floated. or such part of that amount
as might be converted from repara-
tions to security for loan, should it
be decided to permit part, rather
than all OF Germany's visible Sc
eurity TO be used for obtaining an
international loan having priority
over reparations payments.

HOOVER SOUGHT TO
OVERTHROW SOVIETS
SEN. WATSON CLAIMS

WASHINGTON, June 6-Senator
Watson, Democrat of Georgia. re-
newed today in the senate his at
tacks on Secretary Hoovers admin
lstration of war relief organizations
and charged him with having aided
IN efforts to overthrow the soviet and
restore the czarist government in
Russia.
He asserted that Mr.. Hoover had
caused a slipping board steamer,
commanded by Captain James b.
Martin. tc transport cargo of mil
itary motor trucks and supplies from
Bordeaux to the Northern army in
Russia, TO be used in General Yuden-
itch's offense against the soviets.
The steame Mr.. Watson said. was
loaded for the United States when the
commar der received a message cam
ceiling the return nome and ordering
him to reload with army supplies. To
shbstantiate this statement, he said
he had what appeared to be photo
static copies of the cables, ordering
the Russian shipment, referring to
the recent White House statement in
defense of Mr.. Hoover. Mr.. Watson
inquired why the secretary was
above criticism He also reiterated
the charge that Mr. Hoover had not
published detailed statements of the
war relief expenditures and also that
allegations that food intended to go
to stricken peoples of Europe had
been permitted to decay on wharves
or in vessels through alleged lack of
proper administration.

High Water Mark
AT Yuma Expected
Saturday, June 10

YUMA, Ariz., June 6.--According
to bulletin issued here today by
the United States weather bureau,
the rise in the Colorado river may
be expected to reach crest here on
June 10 at height of 27. S feet with
an estimated discharge of 10000 Sec
ond-feet. A sharp drop is expected
to follow, succeeded by a second rise
to peak within probably two or
three weeks later. The condition of
a double peaked summer flood is not
unprecedented here although rare.
Records on file at the reclamation
service headquarters reveal that on
one occasion number of years ago,
the river crested here about June 25
and then rose again to a still higher
level about July 20. Ordinarily. how
ever. the summer flood reaches it's
highest peak here between June 20
and June 80. Much snow still is to
be found on the upper Colorado
watershed but unusually cool weather
is delaying its melting.
