 Tn a reminiscent as well as pro- pbotic mood at tn" dinner and first convection" of sper,s champions, given by the "Coo Miilionaires' of the Madison Square Garden club, the heavyweight champion predicted that the time was soon coming when the big bouts would draw twice as much as they do now--in croHds'

TUNNEY TO DEFEND
 TITLE IN CHICAGO
Herald-Examiner Says Champion Will Fight Some Time in June

Chicago, Jan. 5 tT7-The Chicago Herald and Examiner in a copy righted news story today said that definite plans are being formulated for Gene Tunney to defend his heavyweight, championship here sometime in June.
 Anton J. Cermak. president of the Cook county board and personal friend of the champion; Edward J. Kelly. president of the South Park board controlling Soldier Field where the fight would be held; and Michael J. Igoe. a member of the South Park board, have been work ing out arrangements for the fight more than month, the Herald and Examiner said.
 Tunney was understood to have tentatively agreed to meet the best opponent available under Cermak's . direction. The two conferred last month when the champion attended Christmas charity banquet here.
 The newspaper explained that the proposed bout would be held in con- junction with the democratic nation- al convention, should it be held here. George F.. Brennan. national com- mitteeman. will go to Washington. according to Cermak. prepared to offer the bout as an inducement to the convention makers.
 Arrangements provide for holding the fight on the eve of the conven- ton. Regardless of the convention. however. the fight, if closed. would be held at Soldier Field in June.
 A percentage of the fight profits would go into q community chest fund for the benefit of Chicago's E needy.
 Mir. Cermak was quoted as seeing only one possible hitch in the ar- rangement. There is a possibility, he said. that Tunney may not be able to defend his title because of a con- tract with Tex Rickard. The county board president. however, said it is Tunney's belief that the Rickard contract will not interfere. At conference next week be. tween Tunney, Cermak and Jgoe, the Rickard contract will be gone over by attorneys. If the Chicago match can be arranged without violating the Rickard agreement, it will be signed then. Cermak said. James q. Mullen. Chicago pro- moter who has been negotiating in- dependently with Tunney. would promote the bout, the newspaper said.

With Wreckage on
Glace Bay Coast

GLACE BAY, N. s, May 2.-tP,-
Wreckage picked up around Scatari
Island and the body of man washed
ashore in Fluek's Head cove today
told a mute story of the wreck of a
ship in the graveyard of the North
Atlantic. Her crew of 81 was be-
lieved lost
Saturday night the Dutch freighter
Callisto sent out an SOS stating
she was aground near Port Novo
Ledges in the forbidding Cape Breton

Since then wrecksge, seaman's
clothing and the body Of man have
been picked up along the coast and
although the Canadian government
steamer Montealm has been patrol
ing the vicinity Of the accident since
Sunday morning. no sign Of any sur
vivors has been found.
The latest wreckage found was a
lifeboat and a piece of board on
which were the letters "isto.r the
last syllable Of the freiRhter's name.
II left little doubt in the minds Of
seamen that the ship foundered
quickly in the boiling waters that
surge endlessly back ard forth over
the wreck-strewn reefs of the coast.
and that she probably carried her
crew down with her.

ready have answered. To their pro-
tests against crime have been add
ed those OF the city governments OF
Oak Park. where Miss Egglestcn
lived, and Berwyn, where she was
slain.

adding $500 70 rewards already post

ton, els stunned with hnrror at the
wanton. cold d-blooded murder OF
Miss Eggleston. This crime il q

PEELED to intervene unless public
opinion itself ended crime and its
union with politics.
Circuit judges appointed three OF
their number TO investigate charges
