ONE SECOND AWAY

Unly one Seccud In thlS
 seventh round separated
 Dempsey from the greatest
 victory of his career and an
 achievement no other former
 champion has ever recorded
 that of regaining his lost
 title. But Tunney, back on
 his feet slipped from raneo,
 cleared hin head and weath-
 cred as stormy . session as
 he ever had experienced.
 Safely past that crisis,
 Gene hnished the last three
 rounds like a champion. He . regained confidence, took tho
 aggressive and clubbed Dcmp-
 sey into defeat with a double
 fisted, well timed attack to
 the head.
 HAS STUFF IN RESERVE
 Tunney, his title in dan-
 ger, had the stu6 to put on
 victorious rally. Dempsey,
 both eyes cut badly, bleed-
 ing, groggy, reeling, was
 ''out on his feet" at the
 close of the final round. So
 battered was the old cham
 pion after his last char1e
 was expended, that he did
 not, apparently, know the
 battle was over and had to
 be led to his corner.
 That Long Count
 Tunney's victory, however, wa. not without dispute. There wers scores in the ringside section wht thought the Champion was saved from losing his crown in ths seventh round by a count thai was actually several second. longer than the toll of nine. Il was unquestionabIy a Hong count" from 12 to IA seconds but its explanation lay in thu fact that the illinois State box ing rules compel the fighter SCOT ing knockdown to go to hii corner before the count starts Dempsey's slowness in backing on to his corner accounted fol the late start of the count.
 Tunney took the count witl his left hand holding on to tn, ropes. He was groggy and II bad shape, but fully conscious Had the count started sooner. h, probably would have been abl, to regain his feet but nigh have been wobblier and thus al easier target. As 1t was he hal the advantage of few second of added rest in which to collec his faculties and ward on Demp sey's attack.
 Best Fighter Wins
 The mightiest tlPrOng in sport ing history. estimated at 150.OOl persons, paid $2,S00,0OO to see victory that unquestionably wen to the better man, crefticr boxer and faster and stronger fighter It was his. however, after tn cloest call he ever had. In fact there were some who believed th break which he got in the rev enth was the grtatest any cham pion ever got in . titular bout.
 Throughout the first half q the battle. Tunney fought coolly cautiously, shooting only when h' saw the target. Shooting accur ately while Dempssy. always go ing in, found himsslf brought u .-HH

net higher, wheat unchanged to u up,
oats unchanged to a off and provis-
ions unchanged to a rise of cents.
Almost from the outset, more
friendly feeling toward the buying
side of the corn market was in evil
dence. One reason was that corn Of
ferings from Ohio and Indiana for
shipment east had been noticeably
curtailed and that cash corn here was
steady to 1c better relatively, with
country offerings small. Furthermore,
ST. Louis reported indications of a
dwindlirg movement, and Indiana
points were buying corn here. Ad-
vices, too, from parts of Illinois said
that with spring weather and soft
roads not much corn would move from
the country until after seeding.
Better export demand for domestic
red winter wheat, joined with corn
strength was chiefly responsible for
late firmress of the wheat market.
Earlier, the government report on do
mestic reserve stocks had bearish eff

liberal wheat shipments from Argen-
tina. In some quarters, however, talk
was current that total exports of wheat
from the United States will foot up

Windsor, entered into a corrupt agree

other liquor exporters whereby in consid-
Grafton of the payment to him OF Ger

immunity from prosecution and from
government interference with the free eX-
port of their goods, and pursuant to this
agreement very large sums OF money
were paid to Egan.
"The Commission has not been able to
ascertain the total amount paid to Egan
owing to the absence of Egan from the
country and to the fact that books Of the
breweries and liquor exporters do not dis
close such payments. But the evidence
shows that large payments were made by

cred beer direct to consumers in spite of
the law which prohibited the sale Of beer

called a prohibition province.
Export Houses Offenders
But brewers were not the only offend
ers. The commission also found the So
called export houses along the border the
sources of much law violation. The To-
ronto Globe of June 8 reports the find
ings of the commission showing that the
export business by these liquor-exporting
houses has grown at rapid rate in re-
cent years, and that there are at least SO
houses between Sarnia and Port Stan
ley. OF course, these border exporting
houses existed primarily for the purpose
of exporting liquor into the dry territory
of the United States. However, large
quantities were sold in Canada.

GREELEY AS A PROPHET
His Words Published Seventy Years Ago

Horace Greeley, founder and long time
editor of the New York Tribune, was an
enemy of the liquor traffic, and Greeley's
attitude on any issue was so forceful and
SO direct that it did not have to be dia-
grammed to be understood.
Greeley was something of prophet as
we'll as an editor. In 1854 he published
an editorial in the Tribune, urging Pro-
hibiton law. Predicting what would hap
pen were prohibition adopted, Greeley
said, and his words sound today like
those of real prophet:
That all liquor selling will be stop

ticipate; but we will make it stealthy,
hidden, guilty business, so prosecut-
ed that he who will drink must sneak
down back stairs and through under

will not be one glass drunk where ten
glasses are now, nor one new drunk

now a hundred. And in spite of ex-

which the company had submitted to
the customs department as evidence
OF export, and direct evidence was
given before the commission which
clearly established that large guam
titles of these liquors were not ex-
ported but were sold for consumption
in Canada. The goods so sold for con
sumption were sold contrary to law
and without payment of the sale tax
in the domestic liquor so sold as re-
CURED by law, but the commission
was unable to determine the quantity
sold for consumption in Ontario.

corruption in the province OF Ontario. 1t
is recital of brberies and attempted
briberes of public officials by brewers and
their agents, OF frauds committed against
the government involving millions of dol
lars, of Justification of records sales Of
strong beer in the province of Ontario in
violation of statutes, and of perjuries.
The criminal practices revealed were
perpetrated during the period the On
tario temperance act was in force, but
reached their height under the so-called
four point four beer regime.
The revelations are made by Hon.
N. w. Rowell, K. C., counsel for the
Royal Customs Commission, which COM
mission has been carrying on an exhaus-
tive investigation covering several
months. Mr.. Rowel demands that these
cheating breweries pay the government
tax arrears estimated to be about two
million dollars. This is money due for
high-powered beer that was reported to
be of IS alcoholic strength and as such
was tax-free, and for beer that left the
brewery ostensib1y for export, but in re-
atty was dispensed in the province and
elsewhere III the Dominion, for beer that
was sneaked out of the breweries can1ou-
tagged as a commodity other than beer.
Hints at Bribery
Mr. Rowell says that in a number Of
cases items Of expense are recorded on the
books Of breweries with no specifications
as to how the money was expended. lie
says that there is strong suspicion that
this money has been used for the corrup-
ton of customs officials and agents. One
brewery is cited for having conducted
cash-and-carry business within the prov
ince; that is to say beer was sold direct
to the consumers for cash in spite OF the
law that prohibited the sale of high
powered beer within the province.
Mr.. Rowel is quoted in the To-
ronto Globe of June as saying that "28
breweries in the province of Ontario have
been investigated in whole or i'll part in
respect to the payment of customs duties,
excise duties excise taxes, sales taxes and
income taxes. Owing to the removal OF
the books of the O'Keefe Beverages, Ltd,
while the commission was in session and
after the auditors had demanded access to
them, the auditors of the commission have
not been able to examine the books of
this company prior to October l, 1926, or
to ascertain the amount payable to the
government in respect to gallonage and
sales taxes"
Mr.. Rowell also specifies number OF
breweries where vouchers and sales rec
ords covering the period to December,
1926, were destroyed. He hints that this
destruction took place while the commits
sion was in session.
Most Breweries De6ed Law
That the breweries had no respect
whatever for the four point four law or
the Ontario temperance act is indicated
by the following declaration by Mr.. Row
ell: with but few exceptions, all the
Ontario breweries sold strong beer in
Ontario contrary to the laws Of that prov
ince, and in most cases have falsihed the
records of the sales of the company SO as
TO conceal these sales, and have omitted
these sales from the government returns
