Dempsey Puts Pep Into
 His Road Work Tndar

Saratoga Springs, N. r, Aug. IS H-Cool, snappy weather put real pep into Jack Dempsey's road work today in the vicinity of the heavy weight champions training camp at White Sulphur Springs, near here After a five or six mile journey. he returned to his quarters to prepare Tor an afternoon in the ring with somewhat depleted force of sparrins partners.
 Phil Weisberger, Brooklyn light heavyweight. and Bill Clemens, of West Virginia, were released by the champion today because they fail- ed to measure up to his require ments for fast, lively work. Both were strong and able, Dempsey found, but a trifle slow.
 A wire was sent today to Tillie Kid" Herman of Fl Paso, Texas to report at White Sulphur as soon as possible to work on the sparring staff. Dempsey has worked with Herman before, the trainers an- nounced, and has found him clev- CT opponent.
 Arthur r. Driscoll, counsel for the champion. who was on his way here to get Dempsey's signature to papers intended to force the hand of the state boxing commission in the championship bout tangle, had not arrived by noon today.

 CHECKS UP BOOKS
(Continued From Page i.)

the Chamber, was busily engaged checking up the books and en- deayoring to find out just where the organization stands financially.
 There is nothing worth while making public at this time, accord ing to Mir. Hawkins, beyond what already has been made public, eX- cept statement that the Chamber is on sound financial basis. The organization does not owe a cent to anyone in the city, except to bank where a note was negotiated some time ago to pay outstanding bills. While the note was for $4,000, it is understood that unpaid memberships now due will exceed this amount. In addition, the directors expect that the 1900 or more S10 memberships which will expire on October 1, will be renewed.
 Despite repeated statements in other papers that Secretary Gould's activities on traffic problems here had something to do with the sud- den dismissal from the Chamber, directors state that this is the direct opposite of the truth. If MT. Gould's activities in this respect had been given any consideration. they would have reacted in his favor, since we hire secretary to help further the program of the city" said Mir. Hawkins this morning. "Ruthless Extravagance" Blamed
 Ruthless extravagance" is said to be the real reason behind the drastic action taken by the board Monday. Mr Gould's resignation was submitted to the board to take effect October l, In conformity with a verbal agreement. In voting to terminate his services at once, rather than accept the resignation. the board did not assume liability for a salary beyond the present date.
 It is reported on good authority that prominent local businessman was approached recently with suggestion by a director that he take the position at the same salary paid Mir Gould. which was sS,OOO a year. The offer was not accept ed, the businessman stating that ms present income was larger than that and that he was his own boss.
 Local Man May Get Post
 The committee. of which former President John C. Loomis, is chair man, which is seeking new secre-' tary, will be in no hurry to make a selection, it was said this morning. Extreme care it is said, will be used and there seems to be a strong tendency towards the selection ot a local man.
 MT. Loomis by a peculiar coinci- dence seems to be the storm center of Chamber of Commerce contro- versaries with its secretaries. He was president when the directors voted to dispense with the services of a former secretary, Ray l.. Maxim. He was chairman of the committee which selected MT. Gould. He was acting chairman and presided at the meeting which invested Judge w. c. Hungeford, and MT. Hawkins, the latter assaci- ated with Mir. Loomis at the Com mercial Trust Co.,. with power to act. and which resulted in the wholesale house cleaning" ratified by the directors at a subsequent meetinR

 In an address to approximately 5000 delegates, representing local unions through the United States and Canada, holding their annual convention here, Woll yesterday made a vigorous plea to use the strike as a weapon in industrial dis putes, but warned that it should be used judiciously.

Brooklyn Club Takes
 Carey on Waivers

Pittsburgh, Aug IS Rl-Max Carey, fleet outfielder, has been claimed on waivers by Brooklyn, National officials announced today. Waivers were asked on the Pirate captain after he had been suspended when 1t was discovered he was lead ing a movement to oust Fred Clarke, assistant -coach, from the players bench.

Agrarians Resist Order
 To Give Up Arms

Mexico City, Aug. IS LP - The governments campaign aimed at disarming the Agrarians throughout the country is being so rigidly car ried out that in some places virtual ly the entire civil populations are being destroyed. Dispatches from various points say that the people are giving up their arms with the greatest reluctance. They are amazed at the idea of being forced to live without weapons.
 In some places the troops are said to have encountered difficulty when attempting to disarm the people. A dispatch from Santa Magdalena, state of Colima. says Shat the Ag- rarians fled to the mountains, car- rying their rifles with them, declar- ing they would fight rather than be disarmed. The dispatch adds that the peasants generally are preparing to resist the order to disarm.

NEW HAVEN SCHOOLS
State Supervisor Says Best In Elm City Are Those located In the Italian Section,

Hartford, Aug. IS Pl-The best schools in New Haven are those in the Italian section of the city, while there are fine school buildings but rather mediocre schools in the so- called Hill section" of the city, according to N., Searle Light, state director of rural education, who made the statement this morning at the supervisors conference at the capitol. This mornings session was devoted to an open discussion of the question answered yesterday by five speakers, What Constitutes a Good School?"
 R. N. Brown, superintendent of schools in Thomaston, maintained that there could be no set criterion for a good school, claiming that To- cal conditions govern to such an ex- tent that what is a good school for one district might mt be good for another.
 Director Light claimed that the fundamental essentials of a good school are the same in Alaska as in Connecticut. He then said that while the school buildings in the richer parts of New Haven were very fine, the schools themselves were rather mediocre.

.DR. FROMEN TELLS
 OF EUROPEAN TRIP
Gives Interesting Account of
 Journey to KiVanis Club

Air ambulances to take help to injured miners in the north of Sweden and to transport miners to hospitals, during the winter months when the roads are impossible, have become an established thing and are admitted as a necessity, according to Dr. E. T. Fromen, who spoke to the Kiwanis club at noon today. pr. Fromen has just returned from a trip to Europe, at which time he visited his birthplace and the home of his aged father in Sweden.
 He dwelt in detail on the air serv- ice in Europe and said a regular passenger service is being maintained all over Europe. The service he said was perfectly safe, and quoted Swedish line, which is said to have operated upon regular schedule for three years, with few accidents and no deaths.
 Air service is free from a lot of the dangers people think there are" he said.
 A serious transportation problem In the northern part of Sweden dur ing the winter months has been solved by airplanes, according to the physician. He told how the roads to the mines are almost impossible from November 1 to May IS. The problem of getting to the mines in case of accident to bring aid to the injured miners was solved. Physi- clans are taken to the mines in planes and the injured miners taken to hospitals by the same method of transportation.
 An air ambulance Is maintained in Stockholm, also. according to the physician, who stated that these things have become necessities there. pr. Fromen sailed from Now York last April in the Drips- holm. He described the ship and said one of the things which im- presses the traveller is the fact that there is served on that ship not less than 27 different kinds of food, and ranging from 27 to S5 for each meal. This does not include fruit and desert.
 The liquor question in Sweden is being handled in way so that there is little or no drunkenness and has made a decided improve ment in the country. he explained. The law now requires that liquor may be served only when a customer or ders a cooked meal.
 The club was entertained by vocal music by Mrs. Fred J. Ward, who was accompanied on the piano by John J. Crean. N

Disarmament Experts
 Reach No Agreements

Geneva, Aug IS Pl-The military experts of the preparatory disarma- ment commission. who have been meeting daily, thus far have failed to reach an agreement on the vital question of whether international control shall be established over armaments.
 This, coupled with numerous dif- ferences of opinion on other matters such as the standards of measure ment of naval strength, has pro- duced a gloomy feeling here that the eventful cutting of world arma- ments will be greatly retarded.
 The delegates probably will ad- journ within fortnight and will as semble in October when new efforts will be made to produce a report harmonious enough to justify the council of the League of Nations ex- pediting an arm"ment conference.
