ZOzs Gibbons Is ZhrOugh,
 Declares Brother Mike

St. Paul, March 1S-Tom Gibbons who. built up a string of n score of knoclxoutS in his quest of the heavy weight pugiHstic championship only to be outpointed a few days ago by Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh rubber ball, cannot punch any harder than he ever could and has been ruined as a superb boxer, temporarily at least. So says his brother, the Ia nous Phantom Mike, according to news dispatches from Grand Forks, N. D.
 T feel sorry for Tom," Mike said, s.bu't it was his own fault. Tom has fallen into the same rut that has been the downfall of many other great boxers. He thought he could hit, and he knocked out a couple of dozen of big, slow fellows, which >St him quite a standing in the pugilistIc world, but it has ruined him as a boxer.
 Tom now neglects to apply him self properly. When training to fight
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-03-18

a fellow of the Greb type he should have trained for speed with fast box CTS: Instead of that he worked out with big 'hams' and was always prac- ticing knockout punches. The result was he was too slow. Tom also placed a lot of confidence in a secret punch, a left hook to the liver. This punch is no secret; in fact, it is older than Tom himself. Everyone knew Tom was trying to use it. DaI Hawkins first made this left hook to the body punch famous 20 years ago. Battling Nelson also used it. Nell son was not a good boxer and forced to resort to his punching ability.
 With Tommy it was different; he was a good boxer, but made himself believe that he developed a punch. The fact is Tom cannot hit any harder now than he ever could, but he has been boxing big, slow fellows that generally would rather quit than go the distance"

Mrs. ChGmbless Held
 In Connection With
 Her Husband's s Death

Samson, June 2s.-working on g theory that a conspiracy existed to do away with Ben ChambIess. whose body was dragged out of Pea river. near here June 20. and that Ed Bout well and Mrs. Roxie Chsmbless. wife of the dead man, were involved, Constable o. M. Hargette today arr rested Mrs. Chambless on warrant charging murder. Will Boutwell,. brother of Ed. was arrested as a material witness.
 Shreds of blue silk were found on the bridge near the pool of blood that first called attention to the crime. At first it was believed that these shreds came from waist worn by Donie Holiday. All efforts to prove the presence of the Holiday woman in the crime having failed, attention was turned to the other woman who had similar waist.
 This taken in connection with her separation from her husband for months previous to the killing, the breaking off between Chambless and the Holiday woman and the formers s apparent Intention of becoming reconciled with his wife, and reports reaching MT. Hargette as to alleged relations between Mrs Chambless and other men, led to investigation of this feature of the case.

M 'CORM|CK SAYS
 HUMAN GLAND NOT
 USED BY DOCTOR
Declares He Will Sue News papers Publishing Stories That He Bought Organ
 From Another Man
Rx associated Press

Chicago. June 2S.-Harold F. Me- Cormick, head of t!e executive com r:ittee of the International Harvester company. today announced his in- tention to sue for lib,l every news paper which published the report that he purchased a gland of another man to be grafted Into his own body.
 With this as the first count in his suits otter counts. he declared. will include charges of invasion of his sick room, the trespassing on his property.
 MT. Mccormick went to the Wesley memorial hospital for an operation all mots three weeks ago.
 That I purchased human glands is utterly untrue" he said, and he point ed out that when the rumor first be- came current. Dr. Victor D. Lespi- nasse, who attended him In the hos pital, issued denial that a human gland was used.
 This denial" said MT. Mccormick, "was printed by some, but not by all of the newspapers which printed the original story.
 "Is have considered this matter care fully: and I have decided upon the only course open to me--action for libel"
 That the telephone wires into Mir McCormick's home had been tapped was officially reported to the Chicago Telephone company during the day Telephone tapping. it was said, is a criminal act.

FATE OF CAPTIVES
 IN MEXICAN CITY
 REMAINS MYSTERY
tContinued From Page one)


 check up with what was previously understood in official circles here to be the situation in the Tampico re- gion. The consul's message said there were no Mexican federal forces in the vicinity of the Aguarda camp of the Cortez Oil company where the raid and capture took place. Other reports indicate that there are at least 2.500 Mexican federal troops in the Tampico region.
 Labor and other disturbances to the south of Tampico- a short time ago resulted in the movement of con- siderable bodies of troops to other points
 In view of the serious consequences to the Mexican government which any injury to the captive Americans would imply, however, 1t was argued that the government would feel 1t necessary to rush it's forces back to the Tampico region in sufficient strength to guarantee protection of foreigners. should that course be pursued.
 Release late today of A. Bruce
 Bielaslxi held for ransom by
 bandits near Cuernnvnca was re- ported by Charge summerlin, who snid Bielaslxf was "safe and
 welID and was expected to arrive fin Mexico City tonight.
 There Is no question, that the Cor tex Oil company incident has farmore serious possibilities if full informa- ton sustains Consul Shaws first message. No official comment was obtainabie here nor any indication as to how long the Washington gov ernment might be willing to wait for negotiations between the Mexican of- ficials and the rebels to bring about release of the captives

Hardwick 10 Present Message to Georgia
 Legislature Today
By AksocIated Press

Atlanta, Ga, June 28.-RenewaI of last years fights over the tax equilization law and the state highway department marked the opening of the annual session of the Georgia general assembly today.
 Senator J. B. Jackson introduced a bill to repeal the equalization measure and he and other senators announced they would press the re- peal measure. Representative Me Michael introduced a resolution to have the house adopt a minority re- port criticizing the highway com mission on grounds of extravaganza which was made on the closing day of the last session.
 Governor Hardwick will present his message to the legislature to- morrow, recommending among other things changes in the states fiscal system, reduction of the railroad commission to three members instead O the present five and creation of state auditing and budget system.
 Minority members of the taxation committee which sat during the re- cess since last year announced they would submit recommendations call Ing for per cent state 1n- come tax.

ALABAMA MEMBERS WANT FORD ACTION
 BEFORE VACATION
(continued From Page one.)

House throughout July. But were the Ford strength as overwhelming as MT. Almon declares it, there is no assurance from the Republican leader, Representative Mondeil, or the chairman of the rules committee. Representative Campbell, that the House will be given an opportunity to express itself. Another equasion which casts doubt on the prediction of Mir Almon, is the fact that while pro-Ford sentiment was expressed in a majority of 40 last Saturday, there were 1So absentees.
 Norris Bitter
 It developed today that Senator George w. Norris. chairman of the committee on agriculture, is on the war path against the bid of Ford some time ago, he agreed to collab- crate with Senator Underwood in securing action at the first available moment on the Muscle Shoals situa- ton. Today, he notified Senator Underwood that he would withdraw that agreement. and fight his battle for government ownership with all the honorable weapons. to which he might have resort.
 He Is admittedly disgusted by the action of the House In delaying work on Wilson Dam and by the action of the Senate in agreeing to a course which every member ot the Senate declared to be ridiculous, although a majority felt impelled to accept the situation rather than run risks of losing a completed structure.
