Secret Service Investigations Of
the loss of $101, 900 in Federal

Of Engraving and Printing have
negatived the possibility that they
might have been simply mislaid

learned today.

Cor Louis "A. Hill declared in an in

the interviewer significantly that the

He further declared:

the disappearance Of the bonds. 1t
will simply react upon the person OK

institution Of an alright system to
prevent similar occurrences in

completed, he said, and will not be
regarded as complete until every

1t was on that date, or around it,
that the argus-eyed probers from
the Secret Service succeeded in
establishing that the SOL 900 worth

last step in their processing before
they went to the Treasury for

FOR dempsey BOUT
Luis Pulls Weights OIL Walls and
Breaks Punching Bag

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 23.-Lui'
Angel Firpo arrived in this city late
yesterday and opened training cam.
pagn which he believes will end ir
the worlds heavyweight boxing title
going south of the equator.
Under the direction of Horatio La.
valle who came from Buenos Aires tc
point the South American champion
for his title fight with Jack Dempsey
at the Polo Grounds, Sept. IA, Firpo
worked until night fell, then ambled
via the boardwalk to his hotel for
dinner and early to bed.
J Luis Angel tried out the punching
bags and the weights that were rugged
up for him in Atlantic park and
proved that they weren't rugged exact
ly to his liking.
He pulled the weights off the wall.
The punching bag was blown too tight
and he burst it with one of his ter
rife rights.
Then he boxed four rounds, two
with Frank Rochelle. the Brooklyn
light-heavyweight and another two
with Natalie Pera, the Argentine
Adonis. Senior Pera has a wealth of
curly hair, wears pearl gray spats
and carries cane, as well as a wal
lop. He is a heavyweight.
Lavalle declared he was overjoyed
with Firpo's showing.
"They say he hasn't a left hand,
but they'll learn when he fights
Dempsey that his left is as dangerous
as the right. He'll be using it as
much as the right in tie title bout"
Firpo ate hearty dinneraand was
in bed at o'clock. He expressed
the desire yesterday for more SPAR
ring partners and was told that they
would be employed. Lavalle wired to
New York for list of pugilists desir-
ing strenuous work for three weeks
and will let Firpo select his own play
fellows.
Charley Schoenman, under Lavalle's
is caring for Firpo's muscle
conditioning Carlos Vega, formerly
of Buenos Aires, is acting as inter-
prefer, and Myer Saul, a local hotel
man, is managing local business af-
fairs for the party.
The whole outfit probably will
move into cottage on the outskirts
of the city Friday as Firpo wants
to be away from the crowds of vaca-
ton folk while he is working.
