PREMIER ACCUSED
IN COUNTERFE|T|NC
Hungarian Paper Charges
BethIen Knew About the
Conspiracy.
BY \. X. DECKER.

Ey Redo to Tho Star and Chicago Daily News.
VIENNA. February 19.-The Wen
ma Socialist urgan. Arheiter Zeitung,
asserts that Premier Count Hethlen
knew about the proposed franc coun-
terfeiting plot three years ago.
The paper says that Prince Win
disch-Graetz's secretary. Desider Raba :.
was taken from his cell at 4
o'clock in the morning to be ques-
toned concerning statements made
before the parliament investiea ting
committee. 1taba is supposed to have
repeated his statements, compromis-
ing TO Premier Bethlen, TO the effect
that Bethlen WAS kept informed by
Prince Windisch-Grae tZ.
Said He Warned Bethlen.
Count Teleki is said to have tes-
titled that he warned Bethlen in the
presence OF Police Chief Nadossy
Bethlen is alleged to have admitted
before the committee that he was
warned in 1922 by Teleki. but said
that after turning the matter over
to Chief Nadossy he forgot it until
the recent revelations.
The Hungarian Parliament is agi-
tated by the bitter campaign being
conducted by the opposition party in
its effort to Gust Bethlen. The de
bates are violent.
In one passage of arms the So
cialist deputy Carl Peyer declared
the government was back Of the
franc plot, whereupon a government
party deputy called him an inter
national Jew" Peyer retorted that
his critic was d murderer of the
proletariat Peyer was expelled from
committee.
The police had a bomb scare when
they received letter inclosing par
eel check for the missing 5000 franc
notes.

checkroom and gingerly carried to
police headquarters, where it was
carefully soaked in a pint of water.
When opened it was found to con-
tain merely bits of paper, not the
expected Internal machine.

COURT ACTION MAY
 STOP HEAVY BOUT
Tex Rickard to Fight to Limit
 to Carry Out Plans

Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. 14 P|- The famous ten dollar contract calling for a bout between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, Negro challenger, has bobbed up again this time as the basis of a super for court injunction 10 prevent the champions match with Gene Tun- ney at Philadelphia, September 23.
 Judge Clinton II. Givan, holding that ownership of the much dispu- ted contract represented a property right, granted the petition of the Chicago'Coliseum club for an injunc- ton last night, in spite of the fact that prize fighting is not sanctioned by Indiana law.
 Assertions of B. C. Clements, pre- sident of the Coliseum club, that suit would be entitled in Pennsyl- vania immediately to make the in junction operative in that state, were met with emphatic deClara- tions from promoter Tex Rickard that he was going right to the li- init to put on the fight as planned" :"
 Before signing Dempsey, I went thoroughly into the claims of the Chicago Coliseum club and was con- vinced that it was without merit"

DEMPSEY ENJOYS
 ANOTHER HOLIDAY
Champion 10 Work in Secret
 Starting Next Saturday

Atlantic City, x. J., Sept. If (P)- Jack Dempsey went into intensive resting again today and the A hours of peace and good will towards sparring partners was relished by the entire camp.
 Tomorrow, Dempsey will resume his polishing off process with a heavy workout, but the public. which ayidly paid it's S1.10 apiece ever since the camp was established here nearly three weeks ago will be cffectually barred.
 Only newspaper correspondents will be permitted to witness the On Friday. another holiday for Dempsey will be in order and on Saturday the correspondents will be allowed to peek at the condition of the worlds heavyweight champion for the last time.
 From then on, q more or less i'm penctrable wall of secrecy will sur round the dog racing plant where Dempsey will be putting the last edge condition. The correspondents will be barred, along with the pub lie. for the last three or four work outs.
 Dempsey says the secrecy is re- quirod because he desires to try out a few things which he may use in the battle for the defense of his title against Gene Tunney in Philadelphia a week from Thursday night. It is no secret that the champion is getting a bit bored with the gaping crowds and does not crave to see another until the shrieking ope which Promoter Tex Rickard says
New Britain herald., 1926-09-14

will pay around }l,50O,000 to see
 Dempsey trade punches with the ex.
 marine.
 Dempsey has been harassed until the most casual visitor is viewed sus- p1clously as a possil ie menace and
 even old friends are rallying in such numbers as to constitute q nuisance. From now on, Dempsey, becoming
 irritable and ne; ous, intends 10 de- lrote his entire time to the business lot getting himself into razor edge condition.
 The last public workout yesterday was light but highly satisfactory. Dempsey boxed six rounds. taking things rather easily, and Tommy Loughran, the Philadelphia light heavyweight, again showed to ad- vantage. Loughran, however, nov led around faster than he did last Sunday when Dempsey. fighting fur Iiously all but knocked him out. Loughran boxed more yesterday, in stead of trading punches and pop ped lefts into Dempsey's face. while the champion, bobbing and weaving into close range, speared him with left hooks as a counter for straight rights to the head.
 ! Martin Burke, the New Orleans l15 poun Ter, was the only sparring partner to feel the full power of iDempsey's attack. Burke is becom |. ing a tritle punch worn as a result Iof absorbing a battering for ten days land when he left the ring after two swift rounds he was bleeding from 1 the nose and 8 lacerated mouth. ! The animal instinct in Dempsey seemed to be aroused at the sight of Burke bleeding and he tore into
 him relentlessly, driving him around
 the ring under a furious whirl of
 gloves. in which Dempsey cut loose with some of the real power. Demp- sey also worked a round with Mike Arnold, finishing up a speedy ses- jsion with Herman Auerbach. vel Overweight from Salt Lake City. Auer- bach is the son Of the man who first managed Dempsey.
 Today the champion planned to 1 take only a long motor ride and a iaunt on the road. It will be a holi- day, but the sparring mates are jwopdering just what tomorrow will be like.
 Dempsey has agreed to referee one
 of the all-star bouts tomorrow night at a milk and ice fund show pro- imoted for charity by the Atlantic City Evening Union. It will be the champions last public appearance before he engages Tunney. The bouts will be staged at the scene where Dempsey trained five years ago to box Georges Carpenter.
 Benny Leonard. retired undefeated
 light weight champion, also will be one of the referees. Strangely, the
 program calls for him to officiate in
 the bout which will feature Lew Tender of Philadelphia, at one time regarded as Leonard's outstanding challenger.
 Dempsey also has consented to ap-
 pear at hospital benefit in Trenton,
 N. J.. two days alter his fight with
 Tunney. His appearance in Trenton
 was arranged by Mayor Hague, of
 Jersey City, a personal friend.
