EXPECT TUNNEY

Formal Announcement Of Re-

iunney's plans for the future. in.
cluding an announcement of his re.
tlrement from the prize ring, wer,
expected to come from the cham.
pion's own lips today at a formal
meeting with newspapermen.
The widest sort of rumors con.
corning the future activities of the
heavyweight titleholder have been
circulated since he scored a techni-
cal Knockout over Tom Heeney in
the eleventh round of their title
bout at Yankee Stadium THURSDAY
night.
Gene Tunney's sole adviser, man.
ager and confident is Gene Tunney
and until Gene Tunney announces
his definite plans there will remain
some doubt as to just what the
champion has up his sleeve.
1t Is not at all certain that Tun
ney will not defend his title once
more. Say, for instance, Jack Demp-
sey should decide to come back

think about cutting part of a S.
100000 gate?
If Jack Sharkey tends strictly to
business and fights his way to tn ,
top Of the contenders, who knows
that Tunney would accept a bout
with the Boston braggart. knowing
that such a contest would mean
more than million dollar gate.
Billy Gibson, the champions man
ager, announced during Tunney's
training period at Spectator. \. Y.
that the bout with Heeney would be
the last one for Tunney, only to
have the titleholder deny any such
intention.

NO SUFFERING BY MESSENGERS
 ABOARD STARR
Kept Comfortably in Trap per's CabinHCause
 of Accident

SEWARD. Alaska, Dec. 1S.-En- route from Dark Island, off Ko- diak Island, the Alameda, towing the mali steamer Starr, did not av- craze two knots an hour coming to Seward according to officers. For the first time the real cause of the accident was known. The trouble began when the Starr was ordered to go to Red Fox Bay. While enroute there she struck a reef. Her profellor shows it be- came locked and the Starr drifted short distance. then anchored off Dark Island where the passen- gers were immediately landed. One lifeboat was damaged in making shore.
 There was no suffering as a trapper's cabin proved adequate to take care of the passengers.
 It is understood here that a freighter is leaving Seattle to tow the Starr to Seattle, also that the San Juan Company is dispatching a boat from Seattle to take over the run of the Starr to Westward Alaska.

 Henry Ford's effort te grow cul- tivated rubber in Brazil is getting under way on a tract of land oi empire proportions, 125 miles south of the Amazon river. The Ameri- can may be the instrumentality through which Brazil will regain it's position as a world producer of rubber.
 The rise and fall of BraziPs rub Der industry is q fascinating story and the probability that an Ameri- can may lead the way to world prestige again is as interesting q sequel.
 The coffee industry in Brazil is one of nine government controlled combinations of as many raw ma terials which the markets of all lands demand.
 Coffee prices are maintained by control of the supply Only certain quantities are permitted to reach Brazilian ports, the re- mainder being held in warehouses in the interior.
 MT. Hoover's opportunity 10 study first-hand, Brazil's plan of valorization of coffee comes at a time when the government has been faced with somewhat acute problem of growing out Of the bumper coffee crop for the year ending June 30.
 As of that date. 19,109,077 bags of coffee were held out of market. Each bag contains 1S2 pounds. A

 American capital has been flow ing into Brazil at an aecelegratad rate lately, much of il finding ita way into public utility holdings.
 The world obtained most of it's rubber from Brazil until the last decade and half. Since then most of 1t has come from British and Dutch possessions in the mid dle east.
 Brazil's rubber grew wild Twen- ty-fiye years ago an Englshman left Brazil with 75,0OO seeds of the tree IIavea-Brasiliensis, the species which produces 95 per cent of the worlds rubber and which is indigenous to the Amazon valley.
 Transported ito 'Ceylon, Malaga and other middle east possessions, a few of those seeds developed into trees. From that has come the great cultivated rubber industry of the middle east.
 As cultivation increased Il e yield of rubber and made if better in other ways. Brazils market fer the wild product declined World exports of rubber now total COG, 900 tons annually. Brazil supplies less than 30.000 tons.
 In 1905 wild rubber composed 99.7 per cent of the worlds sup ply :: is 6.S per cent today.
 Whether MT. Ferd's efforts will result in successful cultivation of rubber in Brazil is a question that time alone can answer.
