STILL Hope FOR
AMERICANS SAFETY
Captive Of Mexican Bandits May
Yet Be Released

Mexico City Sept. 16 P,-Hope is
expressed by the police authorities
last night that Jacob Rosenthal of
Woodmere, n. Y, who was captured
near Cuernavaca by bandits last
week will soon be released. It is
said the hiding place of the bandits
in the mountainous region in the
state of Morelos has been discovered
and that the authorities will imme-
diately endeavor to secure his re-
lease.
Special dispatches from Nazatlan
say that former President Oregon,
who was on a train held up by re-
bellious Yaqui Indians in the state
of Sonora last Monday, is being de-
layed at KilOmeter 90, station on
the railway line to Cajeme. General
Obregon sent a telegram from Ca
jeme expressing regret that his pur-
pose to conduct to safety all the
passengers on the train which was
held up prevented him from keeping
his engagement to attend todays
celebration Of independence day in
Mazatlan.
The telegram OF General Obregon
said: Notwithstanding the critical
situation of the train. the civilian
passengers only suffered minor in
Conveniences. The dead and wound

CHAIRMAN resigns
over fight EDICT
0. W. HunCke Of Illinois Com
mission Disguised With Strife

Chicago, Sept. 16 P-The Chicago
boxing world, jolted by the sensa-
tional banning of the Rosenberg
Taylor bantamweight title fight, was
stirred anew today by reports that
o. w. Huncke, chairman of the IL
linois athletic commission, has re-
signed, apparently as the result of
disgust over continual strife with
disreputable elements Of the boxing
game.
Mr.. Huncke, while declining to
discuss the report, admitted that
threats had been made against the
lives of the three boxing commits
sioners, that his home had been
bombarded by anonymous telephone
calls, and that the boxing heats
were continually bounded by Crooks
of the game"
The chairman told OF difficulties
which the boxing commissioners,
John Righeimer, Paul Prehn and
himself, had been forced to sur
mount to keep the revived boxing on
a level Of dency in the three months
since the lifting of the ban clamped
down years ago as result OF a
crooked match. Rowdyism at fights
here has made it necessary to call
upon the National Guard to preserve
order at future shows, he said.
The Chicago Tribune said that
Huncke's resignation was sent to
Governor Len Small three weeks
ago, the news leaking out in Spring
field, where it said every effort was
being made to have Huncke recon
slider. Governor Small refused to
confirm the story.
It was on Huncke's orders that
the Rosenberg-Taylor fight set for
tonight was called off. The boxing
commission gave as its reason the
failure of the champion to post
s12.5oO forfeit money, together with
the Injunction of political and
other influence pertaining to our ap-
pointment of a referee
The Tribune said the real reason
behind the edict was said to be the
| uncovering of an attempt by d
clique of New York gamblers to
cash In on the fight by bribery or
gun play.
Gunner, It was said, according to
the newspaper, had obtained ring
side seats at Cubs park, to intiml-
date the referee.
The fight officials had taken
cognizance of the gunner story to
such an extent that detectives had
been hired to attend.
The commission also barred Ros-
enberg from Illinois rings for life
and announced its recognition of
Bud Taylor Terre Haute as ban
tamweight champion.

Judge Arthur w. Marsden OF
Madison, on the witness stand yes
terday before Judge John K
Beach, state referee. in suit
brought against him asking for an
accounting of his administration of
the Augustus NJ. Dowd trust fund
and his removal as administrator
of that fund. refused to state in
what banks he had kept the funds.
At first he claimed he could not
remember and when further
pressed was advised by Philip
Pond, his attorney, to decline to
answer because it would humiliate
him.
Judge Beach overruled the OBJ
lection and instructed the witness
to answer the question. This Judge
Marsden refused to do.
Counsel for the plaintiffs, the
trustees of the fund, moved that
Judge Marsden be attached for
contempt Of court for failure to
answer the question.
Judge Beach informed Marsden
and his attorney that he would be
compelled to either attach Mars
den for contempt OF court or find
the facts against him, that his re-
port to the town of Madison that
the funds were on deposit in saw
ings banks We're false.
The statute provides that all
trustees of testamentary trusts

Jumper the Hare has big feet, Yes sir, he has big feet. His cousin Pe- ter Rabbit, often had thought about those big feet of Jumpers and se- cretly he had laughed at them and been glad that his own feet were not so big and awkward looking. Jumpers feet were too big to look well. His footprints were big enough for some one twice his size. Reddy Fox used to laugh ct Jumper and peer at him for having such big feet. But Jumper didn't mind. He really didn't care about his looks, so it didn't trouble him at all because his feet, especially his hind feet, were too big to look well
 Really Jumper was glad that his feet were big.

 Then she sighed again and thought she would rest few min. utes in the summerhouse before turning back.

ikc this none of his enemies would be abroad. There was nothing at all for him to fear. So he slept soundly.
 When Peter aWOke the next morn- ing snow was still falling. By this time it had pretty well covered the old log in which Peter was shelter ed and, of course, was growing deep CT and deeper all the time. It was mt until the middle of the afternoon that the storm ended, Peter had to dig his way out. That wasn't much of a job, for the snow was soft and very light. Peter soon had dug It away from around the opening in the end of the old log and climbed up on the latter for a look around. Peter sighed. Yes, sir, he sighed.
 i've got to stay here until this snow pack down or there Is a crust" said he, talking to himself "I can see that clearly enough. This snow Is 30 soft that l would sink in with every step and I couldn't run if l should try. Here I'm reasonably safe. Shadow the Weasal is the only one who could get at me in this hoi- low log, and somehow don't be- lieve he'll be around here. So there is nothing to fear. But III have to go hungry, and I don't like that"
 That night was a moonlight night. just the kind of night that Peter dearly loves. He couldn't sleep. You see he had slept all day. So he climbed up on the roof Of his house, so to speak. and there squatted and wished and wished that he could run about.
 He had been squatting there a long time when he saw something moving in and out of the shadows and presently he recognized ReddS Fox. Reddy was having hard work getting about. He must be hungry, thought Peter. to be hunting while this snow is 50 soft. am glad had sense enough to stay here"
