while great crowd of 10000 cheered
and booed. The bout ended after
fourteen seconds of what was sup
posed to be fighting, but was really
arguing, in the closing round.

pened was that Carpenter rushed
Tunney against the ropes in the four
teenth round and was struck in the
groin by. Tunney's knee. He dropped
over in distress and no effort was
made to coun Manager Deschamps,
however, Immediately claimed that
Carpenter had been fouled. No at
tention was paid to his plea by the
referee. After Carpenter had
squirmed and twisted for perhaps a
minute and half on the floor. Des-
champs and his handlers dragged Car
pentier to his corner with the French
fighter making motions that he wanted
to return to the ring.
While this was going on, the four
teenth round ended, with the bout
still technically in progress AS the
gong sounded for the beginning Of the
fifteenth round Carpenter -imped to
the centre of the ring with his han
dlers supporting him. The excitable
Deschamps rushed to the referee and
demanded that the fight continue, but
Griffin stepped between the two men
and sent Tunney to his corner.
Announcer Zoe Humphreys then en-
tered the ring and held up Tunney's
hand in token of victory. He was
quickly followed by uniformed police
men who restrained Descamps, who
was trying to tear Carpenters trunks
to show the bowling and booing crowd
that Carpenter had been fouled.

REJECT ARMISTICE
Take Rebel Positions as Their
Bombardment Drives Out Sac
PauIo Citizens.
REFUGEES WILL GET FOOD
American and Other Foreign Resi-

of the Reconsideration
Dreadnaught Bombarded

Santos, Brazil - The Sac Paulo
revolutionists are reported on good
authority to have made efforts to en-
ter into negotiations with the Brazil
ian Governm Mt relative to an armis-
tice, but to have failed, President Ber-
nardes having announced that the
rebels must face the penalties of the
Brazilian laws.
The President of the Foreign Cham
Der of Commerce of Sac Paulo acted
as intermediary for the revolution
lists, who demanded that in addition
to an armistice the Government give
guarantee that no reprisals would
be taken and that the revolutionists
be restored to their original status.
The Governments reply was to re-
new the yigor of its action and it's
forces are said now to be gaining adj
vantageous positions around the city.
The Federals are reported to be con-
tinuing their artillery attack on the
rebel outposts and other positions in
the Sac Paulo industrial, section
seized by thu rebels in the early
stages of the outbreak. The rebels
are abandoning and the Federals arc
occupying these positions. the report
said.
Federal troops captured the air
plane which recently flew over Santos
and scattered propaganda publica-
lions.
American observers in Sac Paulo
say that the revolutionists are show
ing nervousness as a result of the re-
fusal Of the Government to agree to
an armistice, and also to their lack
of success in obtaining the consent Of
any leading political figure to accept
the Presidency offered by the rebels.
Foreign business interests in Sac
Paulo are in sympathy with the Gov
eminent, according to the latest re-
ports from that city, and indicate
feeling that the Government is cor
rect in refusing to agree to an armis-
tice.
American and other foreign firms in
Santos are contributing generously to |
the relief fund for the Sac Paulo ref
ugees. The first days total was $780,
600 in gold. A Government relief
train left for the Sac Paulo region,
carrying doctors, nurses and Govern
ment authorities to study the situa-
ton for the purpose of establishing
food stations and field hospitals to
give first aid to the sick among the
refugees in the vicinity of the be-
sieged city.
1t is estimated that of the more
than 100000 citizens who have left
Sac Paulo many of them went into
the interior and are crowding into the
smaller cities, to which the Santos
relief funds are being sent to supply
the refugees with the necessary food
and shelter.
Advices from the front declare that
the casualties among the Government
troops are small. Reinforcements Of |
regular army contingents are contin-
ling to arrive.

IL Jurors Consume
So Much 'EUidence'

MistriaI Is Ordered
By Court as Empty
Bottle appears.
By the Associated Press.

SAN JUAN P. r., December 30
Five inches of liquor in a quart bottle
is too much for II jurors to consume
in determining whether the "evi-
dence" contains more than one half
of l per cent alcohol, in the opinion
of Federal Judge Odlin, who ordered
mistrial of a hearing because the
jury spent part of its time in the
courtroom and part in the jury room,
and because too much evidence dis
appeared.
The bottle in question was almost
full when it was delivered to the jury.
The latter retired with the evidence
and, after several hours, reached a
verdict. But when the verdict was
handed in, the bottle was empty and
the courtroom was found in great
disorder" The judge discharged the
jury.
