naturally / concluded that as
each hour. brought me nearer to
fight time and the chance at
Dempsey, that those boys would
become happier and more cheerful.
Imagine my surprise when
walked into my dressing room, an
hour OF two before the fight ard
found the whole group of them shf-
fertng from nerves" and depres-
sion. They were q gloomy lot-the
gioomiest group of men / ever ex-
pect to see in my lifetime,
The reaction had come. An
the work Of getting me fit and
ready was done. There wasn't
anything else to do but think.
And guess they began to
think about Dempsey-abOut his
reputation as q Killer of the
nurder0us puncher that he was
renuted 70 be.
They thought about how Demp-
eey had knocked down the gigantic
Jess Willard seven times, they
thought how he had flattened the
huge Luis Firpo seven times: how
he had beaten other huge men
with the sheer fury OF his attack
and the power Of his steel fists.
And those thoughts seemed to
crowd out their earlier enthusiasm
about me.
They had become depressed to q
sad extreme. And when / saw
that group. trying in pathetic
way to be cheerful and to conceal
their gloom, / had to laugh. The
whole thing struck me as funny
not as reason for me to share
their depression.
] had felt from the day the match
was made. that could whip
Dempsey. / never faltered in such
faith in myself. And as each day
brought the fight nearer, / was
happier, for 1t meant that was
rapidly approaching achievement OF
my LIES ambition.
When / walked into that
dressing room. i was in d
happy frame of mind. Faith in
myself was strong and the fact
that battle time was only an
hour or so away, instead of
making me nervous, made me
happy. So ] took good look
around the room, laughed at
+ the gloom boys, reached over,
grabbed Billy Gibson and said:
''This Is the way you want me
TO do It isn't It, BilI?"
And then I shot a powerful right
hand blow at phantom foeman-

been practising secretly during all
my training days.

the first round-with right hand
punch ] did land that blow, but
my misfortune was that it missed
the chin and landed on Dempsey's
cheek. Had it struck the mark.
II feel certain. Dempsey would have
gone down-and arisen only as an
ex-champion.
But that punch, landing on the
cheek, staggered Jack-took much
Of the fight out Of him. It really
paved the roadway that led along
to my Ultimate triumph. Dempsey
never was really dangerous after
that-except during the fourth
round furry.

MEN TO CARRY CANNONS'
If STRIKER is KILLED

Denver, Oct. 20. .-( (AP) - Orders
from state and county authorities to
arrest all pickets in the Colorado
coal strike today brought warning
from Industrial Workers of the
World that they were prepared to
use firearms in case there was blood.
shed among strikers.
I'VE intend to continue this strike
peacefully" Paul Seidler, I.W.W. or
ganizer, said, "but if a striker is
killed - our men will be carrying
cannons around with them. Mark
my word on that point
More Deputies Sworn in
United Mine Workers officials
and members Of the state industrial
commission met the. I.W.W. threat
with renewed demands for organized
labor to disregard the strike call,
while sheriffs in southern and north
ern fields swore in more deputies to
protect those wishing to work.
With the majority Of the 1000
strikers in the southern field, au-
thorities concentrated deputies in the
Walsenburg area. Wives of strikers
were on the streets with their hus-
bands early today. Seidler declared
500 men and women pickets would
be used at Walsenburg.
Twenty pickets arrested Tuesday
were held on charges Of violating the
strike statute. Mine officials an
nounced that a large part Of the
strikers were of foreign descent and
that at least 40 per cent Of them.
were Mexicans.

ALABAMA STATE
OFFICIAL RApS
KU KLUX KHAN
Organization Condemned by
Attorney General Charlie c.
Mccall, Who Quits

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 2O.-(AP)
"A klansman, whose wholesale IN
vestigation of reported floggings in
criminated the invisible empire, has
branded "the ku klux klan in Ala
bama as the greatest menace to con-
stituted authority" in rendering his
unconditional resignation from that
order.
In a sweeping condemnation of the
organization, Attorney Genera
Charlie g. Mccall withdrew from the
order yesterday. !,
This action follows Immediately
after the extensive probe of the at
torney general into q series of al
legged whippings in Blount and Cren-
shaw counties. His activities 5
prompted an investigation by spe-
c;al Crenshaw county grand jury
last week at. Luverne which scored
the klan in returning 102 indict-
ments against residents of that Sec
tion charged with completely in these
floggings.
While protesting an adherence to
"those fundamental principles which
the Klan has publicly pronounced" )"
the attorney general in his letter de-
clared that he had "become con-
vinced that the klan in Alabama is
in the hands Of . lawless leader
ship"
He said he regarded his oath as
an officer of the law superior to any
private or fraternal obligation.

ROAD WORK IS
MOVING FAST
Considerable Crawling May
Be Done Before Cold Sea.
son Sets in

Rapid progress in road construc-
tion is being made by contractors in
all parts Of the state, many of whom
are working large forces in an ef-
fort to complete certain contracts
before cold weather sets in.
Heavy demands for harvest help
handicapped many contractors dur
ing the last two months, some of
them being forced to work with re-
duced crews because Of the fact that
farmers were paying higher wages
than they figured on paying when
they took the contract. With the
threshing season nearing its close,
however, help again is plentiful and
work is being pushed.
Indications are that considerable
graveling will be done before it be-
comes too cold for outdoor work,
highway department officials said.
This work, it is pointed out, can be
done even after the ground is frozen
If the contractor makes proper prep
arations for keeping his gravel pit
open.
Preparations now are being made
at the highway department for the
letting Of contracts for work to be
done next summer. It is probable
that q large number of jobs will be
listed and bids received at. intervals
during the winter and early spring.
The exact amount Of work to be
scheduled for next year will be de-
tcrmined by the prospective funds
available and the amount Of federal
aid which will be allotted to this
state, department officials said.

BROKERS READY
TO TESTIFY IN
LAND BANK CASE
Government Alleges They Hal
Negotiations With Men
Who Are on Trial

Mankato, Mimi, Oct. 2O.-{P)--
Brokers from New York, Boston
and other eastern cities were pre-
pared to testify for the government
here today in its case against six
former officers of the Southern
Minnesota Joint Stock Land bank.
The brokers arc alleged by the
government to have had negotia-
tions with the defendants, who arc
charged with obtaining nearly
$l,OO0,O 900 illegally from the Joint
Stock Land bank.
Defense Objection Sustained
Counsel for the government also
centered their attention today on a
defense objection against federal
farm loan report, which forms the
basis for substantial part Of the
testimony of the governments star
witness, v. R. McHale, Washington,
D. c., chief examiner Of the board.
The court sustained the defense OBJ
lection yesterday.
:. McHale supervised the invcstiga-
tiQn leading up to the indictment OF
the six men-Guy and John Huston,
brothers. former fiscal agents of
the Southern Minnesota Joint Stock
Land bank; William H. Gold, former
president, Glenn w., and Donald w.
Gold, his sons, and William G. N.
Smith, former vice presidents OF
the institution.
A. j. Sawyer, Winona. Minn.,
chief of defense counsel, objected to
McHale's report as incompetent and
lacking proper foundation to con-
meet McHale's testimony with the
dealings of the bank with the farm
loan board. 1t was contended the
board report, as prepared. was not a
true portrayal Of the affairs Of the
bank.
Will Compare Items
Government counsel were ready
today to take up each item in the
boards report, and compare it with
bank records which they have in
their opssession, in an effort to cir
cumvent the adverse ruling.
McHale alleged in his testimony
that $147,O0O Of the banks money
was charged to reserve for ex-
penses." Mortgages. he testified,
were reported on the books as in
good standing when in reality they
were in distress.
