A crowd estimated at between 1900
and 5000 men, women and children
jamlned Eleventh street, between G.
and F avenues, for two hours last
night while Sheriff George Henshaw'S
clarion voice recited the blow by blow,
round by round account of the
Tunney-Dempsey championship battle,
from the balcony of the Daily Dis
patch building.
Everybody, it seemed, came to the
DiSpatch's party, from all Douglas
and from territory for miles around
the city. Babes in arms and bearded
old settlers with canes were in the
crowd that heard the vivid and color
full story. Some brought camp stools
while one ardent fight fan came in a
wheel chair with two friends to propel
him and protect an injured foot.
Through the densely packed throng,
mothers pushed baby carriages to
points of vantage beneath the balcony
and countless small boys piled bicycles
in great heaps along the side lines.
The early comers arrived shortly
after o'clock waiting on the curbs OF

police force had cleared of traffic, and
more than 5000 persons were there
at o'clock when the first of the pre-
liminary bouts came in over the As
Sociated Press wire.
L. r. Thompson started the broad
casting but stiff east wind carried
his voice toward G. avenue and a
rumble of complaints arose in the
eastern end of the. audience. 1t was
then that Sheriff Henshaw cropped
literally out of the sky, snatched up
the big red and blue megaphone and
announced that he himself would read
the fast-coming Associated Press bul-
letins.
A shout of approval followed his
first announcement and it soon was
obvious that his voice was ideal for
the purpose. His tones carried clearly
to the farthest reaches of the crowd
and occasionally when the breeze stiff
fened he was plainly heard around the
corner on G avenue.
The crowd shouted and whistled
hilariously as the sheriff concluded
each announcement and Immediately
resumed breathless silence whenever
he lifted the megaphone again to his
lips, hanging on every word. In the
alleys and lots nearby shouting spec
tators perched atop automobiles and

boys swarmed to the roof of one

Sam Smith family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith followed the
doctor to the stand and told the
court of the doubt in their minds
as to the parentage of the baby

The habeas corpus action was
instituted by Sam Smith after he
had been dissatisfied with the hos

Fight for Separate Avia-

PARIS, Sept. %, tP)-The Ameri
can Legion brought it's greatest con-
vention to a glorious close today af-
ter the Legionnaires had come again
to see Paris, seen it with eyes near
ly ten years older than when they
saw it last, and completely con-
quered the French capital.
The veterans came with a warm
ing that they would be pelted with
rotten eggs and assaulted. They were
thrown kisses and embraced. Dou-
mergue, Poincaire, Tardieu, Lygues,
Marin and other French statesmen
called them brother and a long line
of French generals hailed them as
comrades.
The Legion chose Edward Elwell
Spafford, New York lawyer, as Com
mander and adopted As resolutions
many of them designed to improve
conditions of American war veter-
ans, their wives and children.
Spafford was commander of the
New York department of the Ameri-
can Legion and before that was a
lieutenant commander in the navy
My title to fame" he told friends,
SIS that I am the first sailor to be
the Legion's commander
He was nominated and elected
without opposition in five minutes. :
Jay Ward, five year Old citizen
of Pennsylvania, shared with Spaf-
ford the honorS of the closing day of
the convention. Jay, the mascot from
his state, had been referred to by
the commander as a typical Amer
ican boy" and was elected national
mascot.
Child welfare, undesirable immi-
grafton, approval of the boy scout
movement and American aviation
were matters treated by the con-
vention today.
Before it's task was done the con-
vention endeared itself further to
thousands of French war veterans by
paying tribute to Georges Clemen-
ceau, Father of Victory" The aged
Tiger" returned to his Paris lair

SOLDIER FIELD, CHICAGO, Sept.
% @l-Gene Tlulney, the man o.
destiny, is still heavyweight champion
OF the world but his crown was
perilously close to being toppled from
his head tonight by the gallant thrust
of the old warrior, Jack Dempsey
in the greatest boxing spectacle Of
all time.
Tunney's hand was raised in vic
'ory 8 the end of slashng smash
ing battle, but only because he had
the courage and fighting power for
q sensational finish after being
shocked down for count Of nine In
the seventh round by Dempsey's
vicious two handed attack.
Only one second, in this seventh
round separated Dempsey from the
greatest victory of his career, and
an achievement no other ex-cllampion
had ever recorded, but Tunney back
on his feet, slipped from range, clear
ed his head and weathered as stormy
session as he has ever experienced.
Safely past the crisis, TI1llney fin
ished the last three rounds like a
champion, regained confidence, taking

into deefat with two handed, well
timed attack to the head With his
title in danger, Tunney had the stuff
to put on victorious rally. At the
close Of the final round, both eyes
cut and badly bleeding, Dempsey was
groggy and reeling, out on his feet"
So battered was the old champion,
his last charge expended, that he did
not seem to know the battle was over
and had to be led to his corner.
Tunney's victory was not without
it's dispute, however. for there were
sccCes in the ringside section who
thought the champion was saved from
losing his crown in lile seventh round
by a count that was actually several
seconds longer than the toll of nine
1t was unquestionably "lo1ig count

DFMPSFY'S WIFE COLLAPSES AS
RADIO REPORTS JACK DEFEATED

CHICAGO, Sept. % (R-Estelle
Taylor, wife of Jack Dempsey, col
lapsed in her suite at fashion
able north shore hotel tonight,
The Herald Examiner says, after
she heard over the radio that her
husband had been defeated in his
comeback attempt against Gene
Tunney.
Despite the urgings of her pri-
vate nurse, Miss Violet Watson,
to "be brave" Mrs. Dempsey was
unable to weather the strain, said
the newspaper informant.
Everything seemed well until
near the end of the eighth round,
when the tide of the battle turned
to Tunney. Mrs. Dempsey became
hysterical, ordered the radio shut
off and locked herself In the
bathroom, the newspaper said.
At the pleadings OF the nurse
that she "carry hope and believe
that Jack will win," Mrs. Dempsey
came to the radio again, ordered it

awarding the contest to Tunney,
was announced.

Legally the smith ''baby tangle"
was solved tonight, but in the mind

still Iurked - undisturbed by the
hand of justice.
81 shall accept the baby girl as
my child, but doubt as to its par
cntage will never be dispelled in

tonight through a veil of tears
after she had partly recovered
from her hysterical reaction to the
judges decision in the court room.
Judge Weygandt dismissed the
Smiths habeas corpus petition de-
mand their child George Smith"
after he had heard nurses, doctors,
hospital attaches and the Smiths
themselves tell their story from
the witness stand.
Mrs. Smith, the only thing you
as a mother will do, know, is ITO
accept this baby girl as your very
own" Judge Weygandt said in
dismissing the petition. There is
no evidence any place that any
other baby might be yours. We
will all hope, as the years go on,
that if this little girl lives and
grows strong, she will make you as
hapy as though she had been a

PROF. CHAPMAN
DENIES CARSON
CLAIM IN TRIAL.
University Professor Tes-
titles Carson Patent
Same as Siemens

TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. % R-
Pointer in hand, DR.. Thomas Car
field Chapman, professor OF metul-
lurgy and ore dressing at the Uni
versity Of Arizona and metallurgy at
the Arizona bureau of mines, held
class in the United States court this
afternoon.
The college professor, who has had
considerable experience in practical
smelling, was called as AN expert
witness by the defense in the case
Of the Carson Investment company
of San Francisco, against the Phelps
Dodge corporation and the Calumet
and Arizona Mining company.
The suit is a patent infringement
case involving claims for royalties
ranging we'll into the millions. The
professor testified that the furnace
disclosed by the two Carson patents
in suit and the general metallurgical
furnace of G. W. Siemens, covered by
British patent No. 2A13 of 1866, were
''metallurgically identical" and showed
no metalltrgical differences" The
defense claims that the Siemens fur
mace anticipated" the, Carson model.
In answer to a question by II. A,
Elliott, of Bisbee, chief counsel for
the defense, DR.. Chapman gave clear
definitions of blast furnace and re-
verbatory furnaces.
A blast furnace, he said, was one
in which the solid fuel is introduced
mixed with the ore, or charge ma
terial and blast of air forced
through the mixture, burning the
fuel and the heat for the smelling
operation is transferred to the ore
mainly by "conduction."
A reverberatory furnace, on the
other hand, is one in which the fuel
is not introduced into the chamber
mixed with the ore, but in which the
| heating is by radiation, the heat
being transmitted to the ore from
I hot gases, according to the witnesses
