Leo Flynn was present and did
much of the talking as usual Jack,
he said, was never trained properly,
the trouble being that heretofore
Dempsey has been the boss of his
training camp. prescribing his own
diet and deciding upon the amount
of boxing, running and, in fact.
everything pertaining to his train
ing regime. Dempsey broke in at
this point to say:
That's right. Since my diet
has been changed, 1 feel much
better. | used to indulge in
heavy dessert with my dinner.
Now the only kind of dessert
/ get Is q gelatine or tapioca
pudding.
Il have cut down on my lunch
and find my wind is much better
for my afternoon workouts. / take
no tea or coffee in the morning. j
have some hot fruit juice and take
buttermilk with my other meals.
This change in diet has made a
great difference with my weight.
When training for my former fights,
! used to take on five or six pounds
overnight. Now / only pick up two
or three and / eat all the food
want to excepting that it Is now
prescribed"
Flynn then broke in by saying
that Dempsey doesn't have to burn
himself out by doing road work now
and thus sweating off excess weight
Jack just takes a long walk every
morning and then, according to his
own story, he takes an hours rest
every afternoon after lunch.
81 used to get all tired out
after working 10 rounds he
said, "but you noticed how !
was breathing normally today
after going IL rounds out there"
This was very true. took Demp-
sey's pulse and it was only going
"a beats to the minute, which is
normal. 1t was taken after solid
hours work. Jack says that this
time he is going to. do his fighting
in the ring and net in the gym
nasium.
/ sat between two former worlds
champions, Johnny Dundee and
Benny Leonard, during the workout.
While both agreed that Jack is in
fine physical condition, they were
sceptical about his boxing condi-
ton. While l would pronounce
Dempsey o. K physically, that
does not mean he is in good fight
ing condition.
have, in my work, seen men
of so who were perfect physically,
yet certainly in no shape to en-
gage in a boxing contest. An
athlete might be able to run 20
miles without effort but a punch
on a vital spot would cause him
ito collapse completely.
II Is true that Dempsey has
not shown well in his ring
work here. He has not shown
the, yiciousness of old. Still, /
would not attribute this to
slowing up or lost aggressive
ness. I think this is due more
to the routine training grind
he goes through and has gone
through for years.

dren by his will filed in the Probate
Court today. Nothing is left to
charity.
The four heirs, each of whom will

United States Senator Peter Goelet

Gerry of New York and Providence,

portions to the daughters as to keep
their fortunes separate from the
affairs of their husbands and free

bands.
Motives Are Explained.
Coincident with filing of the will,
close friends Of the family explained
what they believe to have been the
motives of Commodore Gerry, who was
one of the founders of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
and had given generously to its sup
port, in leaving nothing to charity and
in taking steps to prevent his daugh-
ters fortunes from coming under any
domination but their own.
1t was said that since the founding
of the S. p. c. c., in 1874, the philan-
thropist had given approximately

Near Capitol Says He Was
Forced to Confess.

Philip Jackson, colored, through At
torney John H. Wilson, appointed by
Justice Hoehling to defend the ac-
cused, today charged the police with
third degree methods in securing his
alleged confession to the felonious as
sault on Mrs. Daisy yelling in the
Capitol Grounds February 10.
Jackson says he pleaded guilty be-
fore Justice Hoehling through fear
that he would otherwise be returned
to the police whom he charges with
beating him. He now says he is in
nocent of the charge. Justice Hoehl-
ing refused to accept the plea of
guilty because jury might add the
death penalty If conviction was Sc
cured.
Jackson now asks that the trial of
his case be deferred beyond the term
of service of the present jurors who
heard his plea of guilty when he was
without counsel and in fear of the
police.
The accusation against the police
is in general terms and does not name
any officer. Jackson says at the time
of arraignment he was "in fear of
beating received at hands of the police

Is the United States Sinking?

Property owners on the shore lines
of the United States who have been
disturbed by scientific theories that
the continent Is sinking, at least in
part, may have their fears reinforced
or allayed by a Government survey
just undertaken. There are two pos
sible explanations, says the Popular
Science Magazine, for the apparent
lowering of the Atlantic coast at the
rate of one or two feet a century. One
is the gradual sinking of the whole
continent; the other is changes in the
sea level. To solve the mystery, geol-
ogists have just begun a series of
studies with tide gauges along the At
lantic shore line.

Two Break Through Fence at
/ Joliet Prison Quarry, But
Attempt Fails.
BY the Associated Press.

JOLIET, Ills, March 14.-On the
heels of three convicts who escaped
in a sensational Jail break here Satur.
day, two prisoners kicked several
boards from the high fence surround
ing the State penitentiary stone
quarry today and made break for
liberty. They were captured, how
ever, before they had gone far.
A guard turned his back for mo-
ment on Leonardo Russo, serving a
1 to 10 year sentence for larceny and
Joseph Pasquale, doing l to 20 year
robbery sentence, and they made their
attempt to escape. Although they got
through the high fence, they were run
down quickly.
The stone quarry is across the street
from the old penitentiary, and the
men were employed with about $50
others in blasting and crushing. Their
moments of freedom were short COM
pared with the three who broke from
the county Jail.
