iastic than that of the champion.
Tunney and Dempsey met in the ring
and shook hands warmly, each leading
the applause for the other as the belts
were presented.
/ Dempsey's belt was for the cham
pionship he held seven years, the en-
blem not having been bestowed on the

the suggestion of Announcer Joe Hum
phries, the audience stood in silence

Greb, former middleweight and light

Many wealthy Americans have made
their homes there. When, by the treaty
of Paris, signed after the Spanish
American war, Spain relinquished the
island of Cuba to the United States in
trust for it's inhabitants, the status of
the Isle of Pines was left an open
question.
subsequently the supreme court of

relating to customs duties, that the is
land was part of Cuba. A treaty to
this end failed of ratification by the
United States senate in 1908 and re-
peated efforts were made by American
residents of the Isle of Pines to obtain
annexation to the United States.
1t was only in March, 1925, that the
status of the island was definitely
settled when the United States senate
ratified the Isle of Pines treaty, which
relinauished in favor of the republic of

CONFIDENTIAL FILES
OF TUCSON VETERANS
BUREAU ARE STOLEN

TUCSON, Oct 22.-(H0-Two hundred
sfxty-one confidential files, containing
the history of the cases at the Mac
Ar,an general hospital, veterans bu-
reau institution here, were the loot of
an unsolved theft at the hospital last
night.
Police and sheriff's officers are at
work on the case and a search war
rant for the premises Of one of the pal
tients at the hospital was issued late
today 1t was issued on request of
Mrs. Edith Cook Of the Red Cross, who
was in charge of the missing records
The resulting search Of the mans
quarters failed to reveal any trace of
the missing documents, which contain,
among other information, affidavits
which cannot be replaced, affecting a
large number of the ex-service men at
the hospital. Without the affidavits,
the authorities said, it would be i'm
possible for these men to draw com
pensation, or for their lelatives to re-
ceive anything in case of their death.
Col e. F. Tandy, chief coordinator
of the veterans bureau, who is here
conducting an investigation of charges
preferred against members of the hos
pital staff, began an inquiry today to
find if the theft in any way linked up
with the probe under way at the hos
pital Thus far no connection between
the two matters can be definitely plac-
ed, although the officer has not yet
abandoned his investigation. The Of
flee from which the files were stolen
was opened by a key and nothing was
damaged in their removes. Eight dol
lars in cash was also taken from thc
room Officers were baffled tonight
by the method used in disposing of the
files, since hospital employees declared
the entire lot~Would be heavy load
| for one man and hard to make away
with AS far as can be learned by Red
Cross authorities, the missing docu-
ments have no value except to the meil
! in the hospital at the present time.
None of the files of past cases was
taken, and the only ones who will suf-
fer will be the ex-service men whose
compensation is dependent on the re-
covery of the missing affidavits.
