NEW YORK, Sept. ga claim
for 20 shares of the seized German
owned assets of the American
Metals Company was disallowed on
August 2, 1921, by both the United
States Attorney Generals office and
the Alien Property Custodian's
office, while the $7,000,000 claim
containing the shares Of the same
trust fund was granted in Sep
tember, 1921, according to testimony
introduced today at the Daugherty-
Miller trial.
Harry M. Daugherty, former At
torney General, and Thomas w.
Miller, former Alien Property Gus
todian, are charged with conspiracy
in connection with the claim which
was approved by their offices in
September, 1921.
A letter was put in evidences from
Guy Goff, assistant to the Attorney
General, dated August 2, 1921, die
tated by Adna Johnson to Edward
Greutert, a Swiss, denying the lat
ter's claim to the American Metals
Company's shares amounting to
1884.
Previous testimony has shown
that when the Swiss Society nb-
tanned S7,000,000 claim in Septem-
ber, 1921. the official grant Of the
claim was signed by Goff. who is
now Senator from West Virginia.
1t has been brought out in the
trial that Richard Merton, head of
German metal trust which con-
trOlled the Swiss Society, came to
this country. for the special pur-
pose of having the claim allowed
and the $7.OO0,000 of assets returned
to the foreign interests.

WILBUR EFEIGY.
IS POUNDED
By International News Service


NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 22.-In-
censed over orders from Secretary
Wilbur, cancelling boxing carnival
that was to have been held tonight,
sailors from the naval base here
erected an effigy of the Secretary
and punched" it with gusto.
Base officers were conducting an
investigation today.
More than 1000 worth Of tickets
had been sold for tonight's show,
the proceeds of which were to have
gone to the Navy relief fund.
Wilbur's action was taken on
protests by Norfolk ministers.
Sailors from the base said some
body had rugged up a dummy and
put a sign on it bearing the words
"Wilbur-Fathead."
The dummy was used as a punch
ing bag until an officer discovered
it and had it destroyed. The men
at the base were cautioned not to
make mention of the incident on
the outside, it was reported, but
several did. Captain Chadwick, IN
charge of athletics at the base, said
he knew nothing about the effigy.

FIGHT
SPENT|N
+ REST
BY KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. %.
The slaughter of the Sesqui-
centennial, scheduled to begin
at about 8:45 p. m, Washing
ton time, tomorrow, will find
both principals in the pro-
verbal pink, and if you cant
take the word of the over
signed for that fact, perhaps
you would give credenee to-
the words of their managers,
who are in Philadelphia an
swering lawsuits, long distance
telephone, inquiring reporters.
If you are not familiar with
the ilk that makes up your aver
age run Of fight managers, per-
haps you will understand if we ex-
plain that they are the sort who
shake their head one way and
shake their tongue the other.
For instance, Eugene Normile,
now manager of Champion Jack
Dempsey, is a pal of James Cof-
froth, the Tia Juana promoter
and sportsman, and he is denying
everything, admitting nothing, and
asking for a recount of every
thing.
Smoke Screen
Asked If the coming fight is
strictly on the level and whether
there is any monkey business be-
hind it, he will tell you that the
climate in southern California can't
be equalled Today he will almost
take personal credit for the bad
spells Of climate they do have in
Florida.
But Normile does insist that
Jack Dempsey will win and is In
the best condition of his life, but
anyone who saw him at Toledo
Shelby, or Jersey City, knows that
Jack has never been as good as he
was that day he wrestled the laurel
from the brow Of Jess Willard.
So NOrmile tells you one thing
and he knows opinion is unanimous
that Dempsey will never be the
Dempsey he was at Toledo on that
sweltering July afternoon seven
years to the rear, when Willard
didn't answer the bell for the fourth
round.

ity, and his stunt of going through
small keg Is about as difficult as any
seen on the stage. The comedy is
about equally divided between Martini
and Joe Yule, the latter being particu-
larly good in a role that recalls the
Russell brothers of some years back.
Joe Yule, jr.. four years of age, vest
pocket addition of the Yule family, dis
plays remarkable ability in songs,
dances and monologue.
The feminine cast is led by Lola
Pierce. sparkling and shapely bru-
nette who sings new songs and
dances anything from the Charleston
to the Hawaiian "shimmy." Mabel
White also contributes in large de-
gree to the entertainment. while Thel-
ma Harris steps out of the chorus
long enough to present a speciality
dance that made quite a hit last night.
Sid Cold is a combination Of
straight man, singer and dancer, and
Grace WATSON stages an acrobatiC
dan while balancing n glass of water
that was greatly appreciated.
The chorus is young and well train
ed. and the scenic settings. particu-
larly the Land of Jewels" are plea $
ing to the eye. The Friday midnight
show is getting to he quite popular
thing at the Gayety Theater, and the
one this week will be staged a 100.
MANY surprises are promised.
