BY United Press Leased Wire

In a thrilling battle that was not

The Mexieali Military Band play
ed before and during the game,

Fight Promoters
Try to Dig Up
Final Pay m e n t
BY Henry L. Farrell.
U. p. Staff Correspondent.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 25.
While Jack Dempsey and Tommy
Gibbons started into the critical
part of their training for their cham
pionship fight in Shelby July Fourth
the promoters are trying to find the
money to put the show over.
They are seeking financial "an-
gel to dig down in his jeans and
advance enough cash to pay the
final 100000 installment cf Demp-
sey's purse.
Reports that Seattle lumber.
man had guaranteed to advance the
sum are discounted here. General
sentiment here is that another an
gel'' will be hard TO find and that
the money for the arena and the
Dempsey purse VII have to be raised
from the ticket sales.
Returns Mgst Be large
Dan Tracy. fight manager, before
leaving for Shelly said the tickets
IA the hands of agents had all been
recalled and that he hoped to have
some definite figures on the amount
of sales not later than Tuesday
night. He hopes to find enough
money to give Dempsey his remain
ing 100000.
1t was pointed out the returns
would have to be large because as
soon as the money is available the
promoters will have to turn over
the 100000 loaned to them to meet
the second installment and in ad
dition they will have TO pay the
contractors $4,000 for building the
arena before they have place to
stage the bout.
Dempsey planned to lay off train
ming today, according TO Jack
j kearns, who said the champion was
in good shape.
The champion, Kearns said, will
complete his training next Sunday.

UNABLE TO INTERPRET DISK
Scientists Admit They Merely Make
0uesses at Meaning Of Char
acters on Ancient Tablet.

Ever since 1908, when the Phaestos
disk was found on the site Of the pal
ace of Phaestos in southern Crete. IT
has puzzled psychologists. 1t looks
much like photograph record. 1t is
from three-fifths to four-fifths Of an
inch thick and is six inches in diam
eter. It Is made Of fine clay and Is
supposed to have been shaped during
the Middle Minoan period, or approx
imately 1000 B. G.
The disk is stamped with As pictO-
graphs arranged in spiral form to be
read, apparently, from the outer edge
to the center. Four-fifths of the char
acters are entirely new. One that Is
exceptionally puzzling-the plumed
head Of a warrior-appears not less
than 10 times.
At one time Psychologists hoped that
the characters on the disk would prove
to be elementary forms of the Phoeni-
clan alphabet. Then the thought Of
an alphabet was discarded and stu
dents sought to interpret the charac-
tiers by regarding them as notes Of
music.

A formal request that he have an
Investigation made of school books
by children throughout the State to
learn whether they are being used. by
pro-British propagandists to create ?
bias toward England in the minds of
the young has been made of Gov. Al
bert c. Richie by VIM. H. Logue, Jr.
This is part of a movement
launched Wednesday night of last
week by Mr.. Logue when, at his re-
quest, the Baltimore Federation of
Labor unanimously adopted a resolu-
ton calling on Mayor Jackson to in
vestigate histories of the local
public schools for the same purpose.
It is intention of the promoter of the
plan to interest many of the leading
citizens Of the city and State in the
movement.
Branding such. propaganda as Gin
sidious" Mr.. Logue calls, in letter
to the Governor, the attention of the
Executive to what has been done in
New York toward eliminating it and
asks that the textbooks in local
schools be given "the acid test" The
letter follows:
The Investigations by the New
York History Committee and it's
revelations suggests the thought
that the textbooks of the schools
of the State Of Maryland should
be subjected to acid tests to de-
termine their fitness to be used
therein.
The grave danger lies in the
use of such insidious propaganda
as molders of thought by the
Children of foreign-born parents
whose concept of American prin-
ciples and ideals is somewhat
vague. GAS the twig is bent the
tree is inclined"
The international American"
is a person who is supposedly
working "the hands-across-the-
sea" idea for the purpose of con-
cord and amity; but the eventful
result will be the undermining of
the foundations of the republic.
To avoid pollution of the foun-
tains Of American history a COM
mittee should be appointed by
Maryland to investigate, as was
done in New York.
"Put none but Americans on
guard" over the minds of the chill

The 17-year locusts have come a.
gain to Baltimore county.
The periodical pests made their ap-
pearance by the billions last week in
the Blue Ridge Mountains, according
to dispatch to the Baltimore Sun,
and, true to expectation, have extend
ed their occupation of the State to les:
rugged counties.
A recent bulletin of the Department
of Agriculture said 1923 should be a
big locust year in that section. Lo-
Gusts were thick in the State four
years ago-the first summer after the
war-and were then credited with
being the 17-year variety.
This seeming contradiction has been
explained by Government experts on
the theory that locusts travel in
tribes which, in the same section
might be running on Eastern, Central
Rocky Mountain, Pacific and day
light saving time all at once. AT
least, the 17-year period of seclusion
expires at a different time for each
Of the various tribes.
Remembering that the locust inva-
sion of four years ago did not result
in great damage to crops, the farm
ers of the State have not shown much
fear in advance Of its temperance
this summer. The insects attacked
trees rather vigorously, especially the
oaks, but little damage to fruit has
been recalled.

ing letter shown him, and supposed

John c. King, also colored, is serving

The missive is an alleged dying con-
fession by Walker, who neglected to
give his address. This Warden Swee-
zey is endeavoring to ascertain. AS
sistance of the police probably will
be asked, the warden said.
According to the warden, the letter
states that Walker is dying. In it the
writer states that he wishes to tell

der to keep them looking right, to go
over them each evening, collecting the
many small punches of leaves that
were cut from surrounding shade
trees.
Yellow shells hollow and dry and
very easily crushed, from which the
locusts have emerged, now hang ON

that the first arrivals have appeared
in that section. The shells are about

fectly, even to the legs, the bugs have
