DEMPSEY-TUNNEY
INJUNCTION ASKED
Club Which Held Former Cham
pion's Contract to Meet Wills
Would Stop Fight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September "A petition
for an injunction to stop the proposed
Dempsey-Tunney heavyweight cham
pionship fight here September % was
filed today by attorneys for William
Clements, president Of the Chicago
Coliseum Club, which once held Demp-
sey's contract to fight Harry Wills.
Summonses were turned over to
bailiffs for service and notices were
to be served today on six defendants.
Those to be served were: George Getz,
chairman Of the mayors committee
and promoter of the Tunney-Dempsey
bout; Floyd Fitzsimmons. the South
Park Commissioners. the State Ath-
letic Commission and Dempsey.
The petition alleges that Dempsey
failed to carry out contract dated
September 29. 1925, to fight Harry
Wills.
The Coliseum Club. of which B. E.
Clements Is president contends there
was a contract between Dempsey
Wills and FitZsimmons, entered into
at Niles, Mich. and that this contract
was transferred to the Coliseum Club
on March 6. 1926.
1t is further alleged that up to July
10, 1926, Dempsey represented that he
would fulfill the Coliseum contract,
but on that date he repudiated it, and
since has refused to comply with its
terms.
1t is intended to seek a temporary
restraining order, the notices calling
for the appearance of the defendants
on September 6, when a prayer for
relief can be made pending final de-
termination of the issues involved.

POTSDAM SCENE
OF FLAG DISORDER
Neutral Police Intervene in
AssembIage of Republicans
and Reacti0naries.
By EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.

Bv Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News Copyright. 1927
BERLIN, September 2.-Potsdam,
home of Prussian glory and militarism
aptly symbolized all Germany last
night. when, under the eye of "neu-
trail" police, republicans, reactionaries
and Communists assembled in the
chief square before the former town
palace of the Hohenzollerns and tried
to shout each other down.
The preteXt was a manifestation
called by the republican Reichs ban
ner organization to protest against
Mayor Rauscher of Potsdam bringing
suit against the Prussian govern
ment for compelling the Potsdam mu-
nicipality to fly the republican tricolor
on constitution day.
Acting according to order, the Pots
dam feactionaries. under the leader
ship of the Steel Helmet Boys, occu-
pied the square, and, reinforced by
about 1000 Communists, blocked the
entrance. When the Reichs banner
procession arrived they found the
square occupied and had to push
through hostile throngs. Despite the
assistance of couple of military
bands, they were unable to make their
speakers heard above the roar of
Kisses, cat calls, whistles and patriotic
hymns sung by the reactionaries.
The police intervened only to pre-
vent fights, and the general demon
stration ended with negative victory
for the reactionaries, who succeeded
in destroying the efforts of the Reichs
banner demonstration, thus summing
up the general condition of political
Germany.

PRESIDENT FAVORS
CRUISER FOR FLYER
Expected to Approve Assign
ing Naval Ship to Take
Williams to Italy.
By staff Correspondent of The Star.

RAPID CITY, S. Oak. September 2.
1t was believed today that President
Coolidge will give his approval to the
proposition submitted to him by the
Navy Department of assigning a
cruiser to rush Lieut.. Afford j. Will
liams, jr.. Navy aviator, and his
privately constructed plane to Italy
in time for the Schneider interna-
tional trophy seaplane race at Venice
"a days hence.
Because Of the Presidents. known
interest in the development of Army
and Navy aviation and his desire to
have this country represented in the
international race, it was said he is
inclined to act favorably on the pro-
posal of Acting Secretary of the
Navy Warner. The President is fully
aware that no merchant ship is due
to sail in time to put Lieut.. Williams
on the scene for the race, and If the
United States is to be represented, it
will be necessary to transport the
racer in a naval vessel
Secretary Warmers telegram was
received by the President yesterday,

dent was known to be opposed at
first to the idea of assigning a
cruiser for Lieut.. Williams benefit,
but since he has been advised of the
circumstances, those who discuss the
matter with Mr. Coolidge say he is
now inclined to favor the proposition.
When he expressed himself on a
previous occasion, the President indi-
Gated that he thought the transat-
lantic liners were adequate for such
purposes, and that the assignment of
a cruiser would be an unnecessary
expense for the Government.

CHAIN BRIDGE TOLL
MAY Be COLLECTED
District Considering Means of
Financing New Concrete
Abutment in Virginia.

Establishment of toll fee for We.
hicles crossing Chain Bridge is being
considered by District officials, it was
learned today, as one means of
financing the new concrete abutment
to be erected on the Virginia shore
to replace the present stone masonry
the deteriorated condition of which
caused the closing of the span to We.
hlcular traffic several months ago.
Virginia's declination to share In
the cost of repairing the bridge, it
was pointed out, will force the District
to pay the entire cost of the work
AS no appropriation has been provided
by Congress for the new abutment
the money will have to be drawn from
the $50 900 bridge repair fund. While
the officials are unwilling to estimate
the probable cost of the project. they
believe it will take the major portion
of the repair fund and thus deprive
a number of other bridges of needed
REPAIRS
Nominal Toll Charge.
The establishment of a toll fee
which would be collected until the
abutment is paid for completely, was
first suggested to Engineer Commits
sioner William b. Ladue when plans
for financing the work were first
under consideration. The commits
sioner made no comment on the pro-
posal at that time, but he did point out
that toll fees appeared to be gaining
in popularity in different sections of
the country as method of paying the
cost of new bridges.
Since that time several other Dis.
G hn YoiI L.,
nection with the financing of the new
abutment the establishment of a nom
inal toll charge of either or 10 cents,
which would be abolished lust as soon
as the District has been reimbursed
for It's outlay. Adoption of the toll fee,
they argue, would be an equitable So
luton of the financing problem. as 1t
would force Virginia residents and
tourists who cross the bridge to assist
in paying the cost of the abutment and
not place the entire burden on Dis
trict residents. Ringgold Hart. prin.
cipal assistant corporation counsel,
has advised, however, that the Com
missioners would have to get specific
authority from Congress to esta blisll
a toll charge on Chain Bridge or any
other bridge under their jurisdiction.
Specifications Nearly Complete.
Specifications for the new abutment
have virtually been completed by the
office of the engineer of bridges and
Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, assistant
Engineer Commissioner, and bids on
the project will be sought shortly.
1t Is believed that it will take three
months to construct the new abut-
ment from the date of the beginning
of the work. In the meantime, Capt
Whitehurst explained. Arlington Coun-
ty, Va. which has it's water mains
on the bridge, probably will be de-
prived of it's water supply should the
water be turned on through the coun-
ty by that time. The specifica tions
contain a specific item requiring the
contractor to state the cost of moving
and replacing the water mains. An
effort will be made to have Arlington
County pay this item.

SHANGHAI, September Ma
tionalist officials estimate that the
| Northern commander, Sun Chuan
| Fang, has suffered losses totaling 40,'
900 in attempting to set his foot on
the south bank of the Yangtze River,
though Sun himself would put his
losses at much less and foreign OBJ
servers here assert that 10000 is an
exaggeration. However, todays in
| formation makes it clear that Suns
campaign has resulted unhappily and
that he has withdrawn to the north
| bank after a desperate and sanguinary
| battle.
The killed and wounded during the
| last few days have been more numer-
Gus than during months Of fighting
between Tientsin and Pukow north
of the river). All along the YangtZe
the South is reported to be preparing
strong defenses, and as Sun Chuan
Fang is presumably similarly engaged.
another stalemate has developed in
the lower Yangtze valley. Both armies.
metaphorically speaking, are licking
their wounds.
Shanghai Is Apathetic.
Shanghai is apathetic, betraying
rather joy nor sorrow as yet. Even
Kuomintang tSouthern) flags were
hidden few weeks ago and they are
still kept in bureau drawers. Those
forces in Shanghai in plain clothes
waiting for Sun Chuan Fang victory
before declaring allegiance to him and
trying to take over the city still have
to continue waiting.
As a result of the present military
irnpasse, other armies doubtless soon
will take a hand in the fighting.
Chinese newspapers assert that the
Shantung (Northern) militarist, Gen.
Chang Chung Chang, has promised to
send two armies to assist Sun Chuan
Fang, but they have not arrived. It
will be remembered that Chang Chung
Chang's assistance to Sln last Spring
was just too late to be Of value.
Triple Drive Arranged.
The Nationalists (Southerners) an
nounce details of triple drive against
Pengpu, which is eight miles north of
Pukow on the Tientsin-Pukow Rail
way, to cut off Suns retreat by rail
The three phases of the offense are:
First, Wuchang- -Hankow forces via
Anking; second, Marking armies via
Pukow; third, Christian Gen. Feng
Yu-Hsiang from the northwest. Gen.
Ho Chih, commander of Wuchang-
Hankow forces, is reported already to
have reached Pengpu.
Shanghai has rather been expecting
naval battle at Woosung, close at
hand, as the cruiser Haichi and four
other Northern warships left Tsingtao
two days ago and are expected at
Woosung. While Chinese were an
ticipating that Sun Chuan Fang would
attack Shanghai from Tungchow, his
