BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, August 30-Quoting
Secretary of Labor Davis as demand
ing quick action" in the investiga-
tion concerning the entry of Luis
Angel Firpo, the Argentine heavy
weight, into this country for his
nght with Harry Wills, September IL,
Bernard III. Sander, counsel for Canon
William s. Chase, rector of Christ
Church, Brooklyn, declared yesterday
that the question of the fighters pos
sible deportation is now entirely in
the hands of immigration Commits
sioner Henry H. Curran.
Mr.. Sander said that he had placed
In Commissioner Curran's hands last
Monday an affidavit containing the
names Of witnesses which purported to
show that Firpo had violated the i'm
migration laws year ago in con-
nection with the entry in this country

Interview With Davis.
when Mr.. Curran apparently took
no action" said Mr.. Sander. I'VE
took the matter to Washington to
present it, if necessary to the Presi-
dent personally. We were received
by Secretary Davis and got a fair
hearing. Mr. Davis told us that when
he read that Firpo had been allowed
to stay while the woman had been
sent back, he said to his assistants.
'Firpo should be thrown out of the
country if the law permits"
Mr.. Sander also quoted the Secre-
tary as saying: Il want quick action
here. What's Curran doing about
it?
After the alleged circumstances OF
Firpo's entry here had been ex-
planned, Mr.. Sander said, Secretary
Davis told his assistants: Seek
FlrpoS deportation as soon as pos
sible-he has no business here"
Would Be Victory for Rickard.
Declaring that delay in the inves-
tigation had resulted in the disap-
pearance of valuable aid to the
government" Mr.. Sander continued: :
IF the Federal Government is de-
feated through the inertia of its pub
lie officials in charge of immigration
laws, Tex Rickard can hang on his
belt the scalp of Uncle Sam to dangle
with that of Father knickerbocker."
Canon Chase has placed himself en-
tirely at the command of Commits
sioner Curran, in connection with the
investigation, Mr.. Sander said. He
also declared that the canon was sup
ported in his activities against Firpo
by the International Reform Fedora
ton. the Board of Temperance and
Prohibition and Public Morals of the
Methodist Episcopal Church and the
Lords Day Alliance.
Commissioner Curran yesterday an
nounced that he was conducting an
active investigation of the case, with
Instructions to arrest Firpo If the
circumstances warranted. He said he
had already started an investigation
when he received his instructions
from Washington yesterday.

Predicts Success Of Million
 Dollar Drive

MONTEVALLO, Ala. July 16.- Especial. IA strong tribute to the work of the Alabama college and the effectiveness of training given here was paid by President A. G. Patterson of the Alabama Public Service Commits sion, in an address at the close of the first session of the summer school to- day. Mir. Patterson referred to the re- suits achieved by Alabama college with the meager appropriations and limited facilities which it has so far obtained, and declared that it is entitled to more funds.
 He predicted success of the million dollar campaign for the Alabama col lege. not purely in a material sense, but in attracting to the college the moral and popular support of the people of the state, as the speaker voiced satisfac- ton over the fact that the people of Alabama appear to have come to the point where they can place a proper estimate on the vital importance of af- fOrding training to the young women of the state.

 COURT DECIDES
Piggly Wiggly Head Must Not Duplicate Origi-
 nal Enterprise
(By Associated Press. ]


 COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 16.-(By Associated Press.)-Clarence Saunders founder of the Piggly wiggly corpora. ton, and later it's president, may use any operation improvements of his own Origination in other enterprises, the United States circuit court of appeals ruled today in modifying an injunction granted the corporation against Saun. ders
 The injunction sought to restrain Saunders from organizing or operating similar self-serviee stores, claiming that it was an infringement on the patents owned by the corporation since Saun- ders lost interest in the corporation in Wall Street transactions.
 The modified injunction permits Saunders to use any improvements in the system which he may devise, but prevents operating by identical meth Ods By the courts decision, Saunders may engage in the retail grocery busi- ness and operate self-service stores. But under different methods than the pres ent Piggly Wiggly.
 The court ruled that Saunders may not use his own name in such con- nectiOn as to deceive the public or deprive the plaintiff of the benefits of the rights, privileges and good will of the business he originated, extensively advertised and sold to the plaintiff"
 In case of controversy or dispute over the use of Saunders name in con- neetiOn with any new business he may originate, the district court may make further orders specifically cOnstruing its original ordes in this matter, the decision stated.

COTTON DAMAGED
 BY TOO MUCH RAIN
Weevil Also Causing Loss In
 Tuskegee

TUSKEGEE, Ala, July 15.--(Spe- cial. )-The rains of the past week have greatly injured the cotton crop of Ma con county. The plant has splendid color and is putting on a heavy crop of fruit, but. the heavy rains along with the weevil are causing the squares to fall. Where the farmers have used a great deal of. poison the weevil is not hurting the fBdit but where no poison has been used they are appearing in great numbers. The farmers know that the crop is to be made or lost within the next 30 days and they are watch ing the weather and the weevil with great concern.
 Deaths RepOrted-An unusual num- Der of deaths have been reported from the government hospital in the last few days. There were three Sunday and two Monday. The number of patients have increased so that all of the build ings are now occupied. It is not known when Dr. Ward, the negro appointed to take charge, will receive his com mission from Washington. The citi- zenship of Tuskegee feel very keenly the breach of faith on the part of the government, in that they were prom ised a white personnel at the hospital, and are now being forced to accept negro administration. All, however, ex- press faith in Dr. Ward.
 Senator Powell Back-Senator R. H. Powell is back from New York. where he was one of the outstanding delegates representing Alabama at the democratic convention.

ONE TANGLE CLEARED UP
Saunders Plans For New Chain
 Baked By Decree

MEMPHIS, Tenn. July 16.-The decision of the United States court of appeals in the injunction proceedings brought by the Piggly Wiggly corpora tion against Clarence Saunders, or ganizer and former president of the concern. marks the end of another chapter in the long and colorful story of Saunders business and financial ca reer. and settles, for the moment at least. OneO f the many complicated le- gal tangles which resulted from his sensational expedition in Wall Street more than year ago.
 The injunction, aimed at a new chain stores system which Saunders organ ized following his resignation as presi- dent of the Piggly Wiggly- corporation last summer was granted by Judge J. W. Ross in United States district court here last March 6, the day be- fore Saunders planned to open the first Merely a restraining order in the be- ginning. the injunction prevented Saun- ders opening his first store and en- joined him from using his name as a part of a trade name which he had de vised for his new system.
 The restraining orders was twice ex- tended by the court, pending a hear. ing on the corporations application foI a permanent injunction, which was sought on the ground that the new busi. ness in which Saunders was about to engage. was a violation of a contract he made with the corporation several years ago and an infringement upon patents and trade marks which he had sold to the corporation.
 Saunders opened his first store here early in April. Since that time he has established three other units. Since the restraining order was modified, the former Piggly Wiggly head has used the trade name of Clarence Saunders, sole owner of my name"
 Saunders receivership suit against the Piggly Wiggly corporation, in which he alleges the corporation is insOlvent and seeks to hold it respon- sibIe for heavy stock purchases which he made during his Wall Street raid IS months ago, is still pending in the federal court here. His personal estate is now in the process of liquidation in the bankruptcy court, to which he turned for relief several months ago.
