DEMPSEY PLANNING
 THREE b|G FIGHTS
Says He Will Beat Sharkey and
 Tunney and Then Defend Title

New York. June 23 R-Three big fights today blazed the trail Jack Dempsey has mapped out to carry him back to boxing supremacy over all the ,rld.
 First is the battle with Jack Sharkey July 21 in the Yankee sta- dium. The other two are condition- al upon success in the ones that come before. but Dempsey is cer- tain he will still be on his feet when the third is over.
 The second Is return fight with Gene Tunney in September if- Dempsey says after" - he beats Sharkey.
 Third is d bout not later than September, 1928. for defense Of the title Dempsey would win back by downing both Sharkey and Tunney.
 This sized undertaking Dempsey is ready to sign his name to today, as soon as Tex Rickard can place the papers before him. After that Dempsey wants 10 leave at once to train for Sharkey, probably at Tom Luther's camp at Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
 With his well-known sense of the worked with Dempsey through most of the fighters career, has invited Dempsey and Sharkey to appear at his office at the same time today for the signing.
 The 1.-the young Boston panther man will see Dempsey bronzed and healthy, carefree and confident, weighing just over 200 with the slightest bit of oyer-fullness in his cheeks. "He looks great to me- ex- claimed Rickard on Dempsey's ar rival yesterday. "Snappy. light on his feet, clear eyes! And he carries himself as he did when he was Fl kid in this business
 An hour after his arrival by motor from Wilmington. Del. Dempsey and Rickard were agreed on terms for the three fights the eX-champion hopes to survive.
 Instead of splitting even with Sharkey, Dempsey is to receive 30 per cent and the eX-tar 20 per cent Of the gross receipts for their sta dium bout, Rickard expects the gate to run more than sl,0O0.000. If he wins the right to fight Tunney in the fall, Dempsey is 10 get rfore than the Is per cent Rickard at first .specifed, probably 20 or 26 per cent

(BY JIMMY POWERs)

New York, Juno 23.-We want you to know Tommy Armour.
 We want you to know the-real Tommy Armour-the stole, raven headed Scot with . face like a sphinx and a body riddled with shrapnel and heart as game as any guy who came out of the roar ing furance of war to win his best honors on the Battlefield of Sport.
 Tommy Is touring the golf courses of this fair land Of ours cashing in as befits . modern professional lately crowned champion of the U. s. A.
 Now Tommy, although he may not know it. will be the embodiment of a great Moral Lesson. Fellows who went about lugging great Moral Lesson were always more or less of a pain in the neck to this writer. But Tommy is different.
 Did you ever stand at tho first tee of the average country club and see the players drive of? Bankers with round dummies. thin. anemic doctors, lawyers. dentists. business men with delicate constitutions, un- derslzed chaps-all sorts. all shapes. Ask any one of them if they ever expect to be great golfer and you Why? Oh because, they'll say, they have not the broad shoulders of Hagen. the iron wrists of Jim Barnes or Harry Cooper. the stocky bulk of Bobby Jones or the game.
 That licked d-before-you-s stuff is all out now.
 Here's the champion. And look at him. Wounded in the face. he lost the sight of one eye. His left arm, too. was riddled with shrap- nel since being partially paralyzed at times. He is far from the phy- sical specimens of perfection that ruled the U. g. open dynasty in the long years preceding him.
 Remember also, that it seems only . short time ago that grim-faced youth of II quit the campus of Edinburgh University and went marching off to war. For four hec- tic and adventuresome years Tommy 1 went through enough hell to chasten the spirit of any man and yet today youll not find a pluckier or gamer man on the golf links.
 Some experts who failed to pierce his stolid mask have not understood him. Many have written that Ar mour is not a great golfer. Of course he is not a great golfer His score of 301 is not so much. Bu, that's not the way to look at it. He won 1t. He had to fight to win it. And it was thrilling. dramatic battle.
 Here is little insight into tho character of the man. He Is mol cocky to the point Of offensiveness T was memorizing under my breatf a little speech Of congratulation tt Harry" he told me in the Oakmon locker-room afterward. "and I kep talking it over and over. I started it at the eleventh green. wanted to show him ] was a good sport. kept fighting to win though. Some how at the finish I felt honestl, sorry that Harry lost" Beat tha for combination.
 Tommy has pronounced Scottisl accent. He came to America i, 1920 with the Walker Cup team He was the only invader to aualif. for the |. S. amateur. Franci Ouimet beat him In the third round He won the French amateur. tiet for the Canadian open and won tn Glen Eagles amateur the same year His pal, Bobby Cruickshank. in duced him to locate here perma nently He hooked up with th' Congressional club at Washington.
 Oh. well. the poor guy never hat a chance. Remember he's pro | the Congressional Cluh

Great Flood of Belated Mail
Arrives; North Route
Train Appears Here.

With approximately $50 sacks of
mail coming into the city on Saturday
night from the flood stricken areas of
southern California, Postmaster e. J..
Hu%table made special arrangements
early Saturday afternoon to sort this
mail as fast as it co3cs in so that last
evening by nine o'clock patrons of the
local post office were able to get from
their boxes the first mail received here
from the coast in three days, except for
a small consignment which arrived
on a stub train early Saturday morn
ing.
The first big mail of Approximately
so sacks came in on an unexpected
train when the Apache, number IL
which is usually run over the north
line out of Tucson rolled. into the
Douglas station in the early evening.
The baggage cars were heaped to the
roofs and the IL car train was jammed
with refugees from the flooded dis
tricts, and persons who have been held
up in their travels by the high waters.
Railroad officials reported that the
regular Californian scheduled to ar
rive here in the afternoon would prob
ably get in at about a. m. this

this train would carry nearly 100 sacks

ABANDON HOPE
FOR AVIATORS
IN F OG

FORKED RIVER, N. j., Feb. 1902
Miles of bleak sand dunes OF the Bar
negat peninsula were being combed
tonight by coast guardsmen, who BRAY
ed bowling sleet storm in the hope
of finding some trace of Lieutenants
Willard J. Harris and William A. Gray,
army aviators whose airplane crash
ed in the surf off Island Beach station
Thursday. Hope of finding the men
alive was abandoned.
The fiers were last seen flying past
Island Beach nine miles south of here
in a low fog Boatswain's Mate L. E.
Mitchell said the plane was only 20
feet above the water
Coast guards said the fact that they
were flying so close in-shore, precluded
the possibility of their being picked
/ up by a coastwise vessel
! Several hours after the plane was
| sighted the beach patrol found por-
tion of the right wing and the landing
gear in the surf. The propeller was
found on the beach.
Army officers were of the belief
that the machine crashed into breakers
and bounded inland, landing behind q
sand dune.

CHILD AND SELF

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 10 P-'
With no note, no explanation left
behind, Lloyd Emery James, 35, to-
cav Killed his wife, his one month
old baby and himself with three
close, mangling blasts of shot
gun The shooting took place in a
private hospital where Mrs. James
was employed. James was out of
work but was said to have had some
funds. From what police have been
able to learn, the couple quarreled
often but investigation tonight had
brought forth no adequate explana-
ton of James sudden burst of wrath
Mrs, James was killed first while
she was washing clothes in the
Easement of the building. The full
charge of the shot gun struck her in
the back of the head just as, appar-
emily, she started to turn to speak
to the husband James then climbed
tie basement stairs and went into a
/ front room where the baby was lying
in it's crib. A blast from the
shot gun in it's fathers hands struck
the infant full in the chest.
! James then put the muzzle of the
gun in his mouth and decreed for
himself an even more gruesome
death than he had inflicted on the
others.
! indicated that news of the marriage
of the couple had been received but
recently by relatives.

M'NARY HAUGEN
BILL FATE is
STILL MYSTERY
President Gives No linking
AS to His Attitude on
Measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (R)-The
traditional White House silence to-
night enfdlded the fate of the
McNary- -Haugen farm relief bill, for
after a days stay in the hands of
the president and his advisors, friends
and foes of the measure know no
more whether the president would
approve or disapprove it than they
knew when the measure was finally
passed by the house Thursday night
There were number of callers at
the White House during the day tc
discuss the bill with the president
and the best information they could
give as to this attitude was that
Mr.. Coolidge appeared interested in
their presentation of arguments.
Senator Gooding, republican, Idaho,
one of the callers, who spent long
time in conference with the presl-
dent said ne did not believe the
chief executive had made up his
mind on the bill. Senator McNary
republican, Oregon, co-author of the
measure, professed to have had no
Indication as to it's fate.
Soon after the engrossed docu-
ment was received at the White
House it was sent to the agriculture
| department for the perusal of Sec
retary Jardine. 1t is the usua

various departments to be submitted

HOUSE, SENATE
DISAGREE on
CRUISER BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19F1-An i'm
passe having been reached by senate
and house conferees on the question
of beginning construction this year on
three additional scout cruisers a. sep
arate vote by the house on this amend
ment to the naval appropriation may
be necessary.
An amendment similar to that APP
proved by the senate was rejected by
the house on a roll call vote although
republican leaders there favored pro-
posal upon which prsident Coolidge
had frowned When the bill reached
the senate, the cruiser amendment was
adopted by an overwhelming maporlty
and senate conferees will insist to the
last that this provision be retained
on the bill.
Representative French, republican,
Idaho, who was in charge of the bill
in the house and some of the other
house conferees apparently are equally
as insistent that the amendment go out
and after the conferees meet again
Tuesday the question may be referred
! to the house for instruction to it's
managers.
! Apparent failure OF PRESIDENT Cool-
idges efforts TO bring about an early
conference for the limitation of cruis-
ers, submarines and other smaller naval
craft is regarded by proponents of the
cruiser program as further reason
for proceeding with the greatest dis
patch in carrying out the program laid
down by congress four years ago OF
balancing the fighting fleet with an
J adequate screen of scouts,

Are on Way to Protect
Foreigners.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 19(R-Foreigner
i Shanghai counted their armed
forces today while $4,000 Chinese of
varied industries went on strike and
stoned tramway cars.
The strike was political. 1t was en-
gineered by Cantonese propaganda to
celebrate the Victory of their army
over Marshal Sun -Fang's troops
at Hanchow, and to weaken the posi-
tion of the ruler of this province Of
Kiangsu to prepare the way for Cam
tonese troops.
An all day rain prevented parades
and demonstrations that might have
caused trouble.
The international settlement mobil-
lied it's volunteer corps of residents.
Sixteen hundred of them donned uni
forms in readiness for the call to action
There was little apprehension, how
ever, by the many thousand white resi-
dents, including 1000 Americans, that
the 100000 Chinese in the native city
Of Shanghai would dispossess them.
Lying in the Whangpoo river off
Shanghai were 21 foreign warships of
five nations. Five of the fighting
ships flew the American flags. Other
foreign war craft were steaming to-,
ward Shanghai. More than 5000 for
eign soldiers are in the international
settlement and marines aboard the
ships Other warships and other ma
rines are coming.
