HAMILTON. Bermuda. October 13

night whether it had witnessed the
passing of the great dirigible Graf

have seen it drop red and green signal

positive in their statements.
However. if the huge bulk had passed
across the sky within the range of vision
no one was able to discern it clearly
enough to satisfy the authorities that
1t was the airship. Residents of the

 Start Light Training

New York. April c3 R-Gene Tunney is back in New York, ready to strat training for his heavyweight title defense against the ploddins antipodean Tom Heeney, in July, and quite reconciled to Tex Rick ards program of one championship shot" q year.

 DO you know" queried the champion. anyone of sound mind who has a business paying him at least $750 900 a year who would jeopardize all that by getting mar ried? Last year l received $1.00o.- GOO for taking seven punches on the chin. After all. the man who is not willing to do that is just plain selfish"
 Backing Tex Richards selection of his opponent, Tunney said he be- lieved Heeney was the best of the challcngers.
 II have never seen Hecney with his hands up inside the ropes. but from what I hear he must be pretty good man. He wins his fights. and that's what counts"

SQUARE
 BOOKS IN COURT
Kearns' Counsel Demands Audit
 to Show Dempsey Payments

New York, April g (UP)-The books of the Madison Square Gar den corporation, balanced by suc- cessful deals in cauliflowers and showing profits of more than $l,- o0o,000 year. were to be eXamin- ed in federal court here today at the resumption of Jack kearns' ic- gal efforts 10 obtain about 3700. 900 from his former pal and protege, Jack Dempsey.
 Counsel for the plaintiff in the trial of Kearns' suit against the for mer heavyweight champion demand ed the books as part of their plan to show payments by Tex Rickard to Dempsey for his fights with Gene Tunney and Jack Sharkey. It is the contention of the plaintiff that kearns is entitled to a share of such payments.
 Dempsey continues confident that his former manager is not legally entitled to anything of the sort, and despite his nervousness on the wit ness stand. the retired boxer still is a favorite with the Broadway boys who are following the trial with in- tcrest.
 Tex Rickard. who was subpoenaed as witness by the plaintiff, is all for the defense.
 "kearns hasn't chance of col ,ncting.' the promoter declared. Dempsey fought Tunney for me and Sharkey. too-some time after this contract kearns talks 50 much about expired. Even if the contract were any good. it wouldn't apply 10 Dempsey's fights ;fter its expira- ton.
 Before they get through" Tex predicted, they'll find that Kearns owes Dempsey money"

Seattle Boy of } Years, Smokes
 Real Cigars, Perplexing Doctors
Belief Is That His Body Is Experiencing Cell Change That Demands Nicotine - Case Being Watched.

Seattle, Wash. April as Rp-Hav- ing developed into an ardent cigar smoker at the age Of three. Freddie Riggs. Seattle youngster. has become the subject of much speculation among doctors.
 The boys mother. Mrs. Ralph Rtggs explained that when Freddie was a baby he was weak and under developed and refused to cat until he chewed on a pipe. That was when he was 10 months old. Then he began to eat. He cut his teeth on the same pipe. When he was q year old he began to chew cigars and shortly after that to puff on them. Efforts to make him quit tobacco have resulted in his stop ping eating. Aside from smoking he has one cigar every night-he is a normal and healthy child.
 He will be four next month.
 pr. Ira C. Brown. public school physician, announced he would ex- anime the youngster today in an ef- fort to learn why he craves tobacco
 
 "I have known many youngsters who smoked" Dr. Brown said. but I never knew one to start as young as Freddie. There is a cell change going on in the youngstcr which gives him a craving for tobacco. There are cases on record where sick folks have benefited from smoking but they are exceedingly rare. One benefits where thousand are harmed. I have heard of boys four and older smoking. and usually it is their only shortcoming."
 'I have never heard of such case before" declared pr. David C. Hall. president of the King County Medical Aociety. "Of course the child would be irritable. cross and perhaps even go on a hunger strike if his cigars were taken away from him. A grown person who attempts to quit smoking is also irritable and nervous. cant understand a child's system needing nicotine"
