FIRPO GRANTS MORE TIME
 FOR PUTTING UP FORFEIT
Argentine Senor GraciousIy Extends Date To March First For $50,0O0 Post.

By The Associated I'ess.
 Buenos Aires, Argentina, Feb. 20.- Hugh Garland, business representa- tive of Luis Firpo. the Argentine fighter, announced today that Firpo had granted an extension of time to March 1 for the posting by Lew Ray
 mond of the s50,000 preliminary for ieit money for the prospective bout which Raymond's syndicate is trying to arrange between Firpo and Harry Wills.
 If the money does not arrive by that date,' said Gartland, there will lac no fight between firpo and Wills, HOW or ever.' Firpo previously had demanded that this forfeit be posted in Buenos Aires bank before the end of this week.
 Referring to reports that Raymond would not post the s5o,000 forfeit un- til Firpo arrived in the United States, Garland said this contlicted with the understanding he previously had had with the syndicate and had cabled William McCarney, his partner in New York, for further information.
 TIT po htit ullufi SteiiiS tiN liiNiiN ly relations existing between Raymond and Wills manager, Paddy Mullins, and if it appears that they have just been trifling with F'irpo in order to boost Wills. l can assure you that Eirpo will draw the color line toward Wills the same as Dempsey and Tom Gibbons have done and never will fight the negro. Firpo does not have to meet Wills before gaining a return match with Dempsey for the cham pionship but he has been quite will ing to do so because he was not wor- ried over the outcome. However. un- less the syndicate's guarantee is forth coming by March 1, Firpo will drop all negotiations with it. He has many other profitable offers in view in ad- diton to the return fight with Demp- sey."

WOULD-BE ASSASSIN'S
 FAMILY GOING TO EXILE
Man. Who Tried to Kill Jap Prince Brings Punishment Upon His
 Relatives.

Tokio. Feb. 1.-CBy Mail 10 the Associated Press. )-Daisuke Namba the young man who attempted to as- sassinate the prince regent last Decem- ber, has brought punishment not only upon himself. but upon all members Of his family. That too. in spite of the fact that Japan's modern criminal code does not contain the harsh old Oriental provisions that made an of tenders relatives liable to punishment with him.
 Namba comes or a family whose honorable traditions are long. His great grandfather attained high court rank through services rendered in the restoration Of 1868, and his father was a member Of parliament until shame, brought down by his sons act. forced him to resign. Now the father is about to lead the family into exile in Java. Even married sister Of the would-be assassin will go. leav- ing her wealthy husband at her fath- CTS order to join the emigrants in their effort to escape the scorn the young mans act called down.
 Namba was student in Tokio when he made his attempt against inc princes life, Japanese authorities say there is no precedent for such an attack upon the emperor or prince regent Of he blood imperial. Namba is representative Of growing radi- cal element among Japan's young men, some of whom seem half crazed by badly digested ideas Of liberty and democracy.
 It is noteworthy that newspapers here are still forbidden to publish ID l details Of Namba's identity and that no announcement has been made re- gsrding his examination or trial. Cap ital punishment is prescribed for the perpetrator Of such an attempt as Namba's.
