 Deputy District Attorney McClel- land stated he had received a visit to- day from representatives of motion picture interests" who had attempted to discourage the investigation. He quoted them as saying;
 There is much money involved. It will be very disastrous to the industry if the Valentino case is prosecuted" :" He said he replied;
 When you find damaged goods, you HluSl ldke the hazard or the gain.'
 He declined to name his visitors. He said they made no threats" but rather q plea" because of the finan- cial value of Nalentino's contracts and the probable effect Of prosecution on the box office"
 Saw "Shcik" and Friend
 The district attorneys detectives re- ported that the five witnesses they had located at Indo would testify to the appearance of Valentino and Miss at the Palm Springs hotel.

DEMPSEY WOULD WIN
Such Is Belief of French Sports Edi- tor Discussing Proposed Second Match With Georges Carpenter.

Paris, May 2o.-L'Auto. leading athletic daily, gives prominence to an article dismissing the proposed Ire venge match" between Georges Car pentier and Jack Dempsey as de void of sporting interest a mere rope tition of the Jersey City defeat and completely useless"
 Henry Dethes, writer of the arti- ce saw the fight in Jersey City when Carpenter was knocked out by the champion. and says the French pugi- list has not the remotest chance to win from the American. Georges he says, had the opportunity in the sec ond round of using his famous right but whatever may have been said about it, it did not put Dempsey in much danger"
 M. Dethes advised Carpenter to stick to the light heavyweight class in which he has given France the worlds championship.
