Wife Balks At
Being Look Out

Jessie o. Lowe Of Imperial believes
il is all right to expect a woman
to cook for her husband, make
needed repairs to. his clothing and
otherwise fulfill duties of the old
fashioned housewife.
But she believes also that her hus
band, Allen Lowe, exceeded the
prcrOgativcs of Il husband when he
compelled her to stand ON II ditch
bank and maintain Il watch for Of
ficers while he operated an efficient
still.
She felt 50 badly about this phase
Of her marital duties that she asked
for Il divorce, complaining that I'M
position Of such Il task constituted
extreme cruelty. She has filed
suit for divorce in superior court
through her attorney, Edgar HerVev.

TUNNEY Will. NOT
RISK CROWN FOR
SEVERAL MONTHS
Rickard Expresses Doubt
of Fight Between the
Champion and Wills.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

OilAtou leSS oIdll CUIICSpOlucUL
NEW YORK, Sept. 2J.-No def
mite plans have been made or even
discussed by any Of IT," interested
parties for another heavyweight
championship bout.
Despite rumorS to the contrary
Tcv Richard told the writer i'm
Philadelphia last night that he had
not made match between Gene
Tunncy, the new champion. and
Harry Wills or that ne had not
made any moves to get jack Dcmp-
scy return bout for the title.
= 'va enough to occupy my mind
for another month clearing up the
details Of this fight OF course. /
want 10 stage another heavyweight
bout b t il takes more than day,
a month or six months 10 make and
pat over these big shows. | haven t
any definite plans but I'll make a
match with Tunncv against any
fighter ! think the public will be
interested in Richard said.
He would not commit himself def
initcIy, but he gave a very strong
intimation that he had not changed
his opinion that a mixed bout for
the title could not be arranged.
S'Thosc who told me tina a
DcmpseyTunncy contest would not
draw money and that a Dempsey
Wills match was the only card GER
tainlv can get around the figures
that | can show now he said.
Tunnev has been quoted several
time that he had drawn the color
line and would not fight Harry
Wills but he denied the reports and
said that he would meet any man
his manager, Billy Gibson, picked
out for him.
Tia Juana Mentioned
1t Il cinch that Tunney will take
his time about meeting dangerous
opponent and if there is to be an
other big heavyweight match within
reasonable time there is a strong
possibility that it will be between
Dempsey and Wills in Tia Juana
this winter.
Some of the boys in boxing row
are asking themselves now "What
will Tunney do with the title now
that he has it,
He will be pestered as much as
Dempsey was by challengers and
boxing commissioners and he hasn t
any opponent that would draw any
kind of a money house excepting
Wills.
Rickard had two fine prospects
on the Philadelphia card that he is
building up fer the future-Montt
Mum and Harry Person and after
the way he worked up Luis Firpo
it is possible that in another ycal
either one of the pair will be a car,
for championship fight. ],
There are many good Judges O
! boxing who think that Mum coul'
give Tunncy the fight of his lift
right now.
! Rickard intimatcs that there
| ism I much of chance for a return
| bout between Tunney and DempseN
because Dempsey was too badly bea

Banks Gaining
In Power, Word
Of Reserve Board

New York, July 22.-In reviewing
banking operations for May and
June, the Federal Reserve Board in
its July bulletin points out that tbs
volume of member bank credit in
June was at a new high level, some
what above the highest figures
reached last Autumn.
The combined loans, discounts and
investments of the reporting mem
Der banks in leading cities now stand
at $40, Sos, 100000, an increase over a
year ago of $S94,000,0 00 Loans and
discounts account@for S723,000.000 of
the increase, loans against securities
for $405, 000 600 and "all other" loans
for 1888, 900 600.
Growth in member bank credit was
not accompanied by an increase of
Federal Reserve Bank credit in use.
All member banks are borrowing
at the reserve banks $514,930,00O
compared with $4,000, 900 at the end
of last October. With practically no
demand for currency from the banks
the larger part of this decrease in the
outstanding amount Of reserve bank
credit is accounted for by the inflow
of gold from abroad.
The total net imports Of gold for
the first six months of this year were
pproximately Sill, 100000.

The endowment Is required to en-
large the facilities of the law school

research professorships. These lat
ter will be particularly directed to-
ward adjustment of the law to this

Powell ARE in q position where with
proper facilities and resources they
can render real service to every
citizen by conducting legal research
which may be defined as scientific
investigation for the decidedly prac-
teal purpose of providing data or
which the law reforms of the future
may be based. This sort Of research
concerns not merely the profession
but economics and business interests
and in fact the whole of society

Hoppe Digs Way
Out Through Walls
Windsor, VT, Prison

Windsor, VT, July 22-(P)-Stephe
II. Hoppe, of Boston, 'spooned" his
way through two brick walls that
would not make prison and gained
his freedom from the State prison
here early today.
He was confined in prison within
a prfson-the death house-because
he had previously escaped and was
also known to have broken Jail at
the Maine State prison. Every pre-
caution was believed to have been
taken by the warden to prevent his
getting away again, but Hoppe out
did his keepers.
The first step in Hopes unusual
escape was the larceny of two spoons
from the prison dining room.
Equipped with these tools and much
patience he began picking and spoon
ing the mortar from between the
bricks in his cell wall.
Then in some manner he broke two
pieces of iron from his cot and used
them in the heavier work. The hole
hegan to grow and soon gave him ac
cess to the outer wall which sue
cumbed to the same method of attack
and brought him his freedom today.
