FL lictt, an expert in the fur seal indus try, before the Senate Commerce Committee.
 Elliott said She skins should be sold in their raw state at auction, so that other fur companies would have an opportunity to bid for then. He contended that the present plan ere ates a monopoly and that this mo- nopoly has been largely responsible for the increased price of fur.

SAN FRANCISCO The new Japanese ambassador, Hanihara, speaking at luncheon given in his honor by the Chamber of Commerce, said, Although the conditions in China at present are most unfortu- nate. have reason to believe, that as a result of the Washington Con- ference, we will soon witness the beginning of new peace on earth. |" The Ambassador told the business men to proceed with their ccnfi- dence in cementing trade relations with Japan as the outlook for the future is bright. Former Ambassa- dor Warren speaking said, Since the Pacific question was settled it is interesting to note that Japan's trade with China has been greater than ever before, and the silk trade with the United States is unprecent- ed. Japan's recent withdrawals is evidence of her desire to be good neighbor with China. We must be reasonable in regard to the feelings and sensitiveness of other nations where rights are the subject of dis cussion. We should not be guided by people who want to ride into high places on race prejudice of na- tions." Wallace Alexander. presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce, said, "If we could eliminate the yell low journals on both sides of the Pa cific we would be able to solve the problem"

NEW YORK, July 2G.-Jack
Dempsey will defend his world s
heavyweight championship against
Luis Firpo at the Polo Grounds ON
September - or -, it was learned
from a reliable source today.
Tex Richard, who has signed both
fighters, would not comment on the
date or the place he has ~fected
for the bout.
Dempsey will get a large per
centage of the purse and Firpo has
been guaranteed not less than $780,
600 for his end.
Firpo, with large Crouch on
board, was heading west today to
start Il string of setup matches.
The South American champion, it
was learned, claims that Rickard
forced him into the match before he
was ready and that this match will
cost him almost 100000.
Firpo considered the Dempsey
bout as dangerous, and so did
movie producers with whom he has
contracts. Firpo also figured that
the Dempsey match could wait n
while, but Rickard flashed the con
tract which Firpo had signed agree
ing to fight Dempsey before the
end of the year and the South
American was forced into the
match.
