Park Avenue DebS End
Parties Early So They
Can Go to Even More.

Bv United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. SITS get
IN ting so the Park avenue
debutantes can get to bed before
sunrise.
The plan formulated last spring
by the Junior League and the
Parents League to end parties by
3 a. m. is working well this season,
according to social leaders.
The parents have been in favor
of earlier closing hours for some
time, but they feared their chill
dren would protest. However,
Miss Mary Delafield, spokesman
for the 1929 debutantes. came out
today in favor of shorter parties
1--WE didn't like the idea at
first" she said, because we didn't
want to go to bed early. But now
we feel so much better the next
day after a dance that We can go
to even more parties than we
planned"

Beer KING GETS
GENEROUS With
HIS UNCLE SAM
Terry Druggan Is Ready to
Give $4,000 Livestock
for $500, 900.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 3-The United
States government was wondering
today whether TO accept fifty-one
blooded COWS, a number Of race
horses and a flock of White Leghorn
hens as payment of Terry Druggan's
100000 back income taxes, or TO
seek other means of forcing the
notorious beer baron to pay his
debts.
Druggan. who ordered internal
revenue collectors, headed by Mrs.
Myrtle Tanner Blackridge, off his
farm Wednesday, relented Thurs
day and welcomed them with open
arms. Only reporters were barred
from the party.
Disregarding his patent leather
shoes, gray suit, gray hat, black top
coat, and red necktie, Druggan
marched out to the barn yard and
personally Shepherded his livestock
before Mrs. Blackridge.
He's Free Hearted
Really, you can have them all"
he beamed. They're eating their
heads off and making me
no money. The farm problem,
you know. You can have my
brewery too" he continued, folks
say its worth $500, 900, but I'm afraid
you couldn't sell it for tenth OIL
that. Too much Canadian beer
coming into the country just now"
But Mrs. Blackridge, who had
lien ready to serve on the livestock
of Sanola farm, as Squire Terry'S
estate is called, heSitated, then put
the paper back into her pocketbook.
Things were looking too good.
"I'll let you know tomorrow" she
eplained, mentally calculating that
the stock offered as a settlement was
worth about $4,000.
Terry Is Panied
Druggan looked panied, but he as
sisted his visitors into their auto
mobile, scared the chickens out OF
the way, and escorted the car to
the imposing entrance to the estate.
There his cordial manner con-
gealed as he surveyed a suffering
group of humanity that was
huddled together behind the locked
gates to escape the cold November
winds.
BLANK, blank, blank" said bash
full Terry. Are those unspeakable
reporters here yet" And he made
a wild sprint for cover as cameras
began to click.

Copyright. 1929, by United Press)
Tex Richard made a reputation
for himself as city marshal of Hen
rietta. Tex. for his ability to handle
men without gun play. Old timers
cannot recall single instance dur
ing his more than year in office
when he was forced to use his gun
on bad man.
Cattle rustlers, skylarkinx cow
boys who had a 'hankerin' to
shoot up the town and drunkards
were the principal customers Rick
ard dealt with in his capacity as
marshal. He received no stipulated
salary for the job, but made his
money in fees. Each drunk arrested
brought $3.50 and each loose hog or
stray dog 81.
1t was while serving as city mar
shall that Richard married his first
wife, Leona Bittick. They had one
child, boy. The child died early
and is buried beside his mother In
the Henrietta cemetery.
Time almost obscured all trace of
Richards first marriage and it was
not generally known that he was
married three times. Rickard never
talked about his private life.
Life as city marshal soon grew
dull for Tex. One winter night Rick

Crowds View Last Remains Of
Noted Sports Promoter

New York. Jan. 10 N-With a
last big crowd to bid him farewell.
Tex Richard has gone to his rest In
Woodlawn cemetery. For three
hours yesterday = long line Of mour-
ners, drawn from every walk of life,
passed through Madison Square
Garden to pay their final tribute to
the deao promoter and 10000 Of
them remained in the black draped
arena for the simple funeral serv-
ices.
Another crowd viewing the
funeral procession lined the street
outside the building that stands Is
monument to the man who could
conceive and conduct sports on such
a great scale az 1t required and yet
be a friend to the least of the pre-
liminary fighters.
The Rev. George Caleb Moor. pas
tor of the Madison Avenue Baptist
church. pronounced the final bene-
diction. saying "He was man with
out a meanness, 4 counselor without
conceit." And in their own words
the boys echoed the sentiment,
He was a good guy"
Many others added their tributes,
spoken and silent, to this. The Rev.
Cranston Brenton OF the Cathedral
Of St. John the Divine. for which
Riekard had helped to raise funds,
represented Bishop William Man
ming, who could not attend because
of illness. He ended his brief eulogy:
He fought a good fight and gave
happiness and pleasure to thou
sands"
Dudley Field Malone added. I'm

Today the black and purple dra-
peries were ordered taken down and

and Richard rode the crest OF the
boom into his first big money
He staked out two claims-No. 8
with Jack Dodson and No. with Al
Mayo on the Bonanza Creek. Both
claims were strikes" but along with
his good fortune came his first big
mistake. He sold his interest in No.
3 for $1,000, but in SO doing lost a
fortune. His successors reaped $780,
600 out Of No. j. He sold his interest
in No. I for $4,000.
Little more than a year after he
reached Alaska. Richard, only IS.
had amassed his first fortune. With
a stake OF almost 100000 he OPEN
ed his first gambling venture. the
famous Northern Saloon and
Gambling Palace in Dawson City.
The saloon prospered and soon be-
came famous as the only straight
gambling house in Alaska. 1t was
next door to Richards saloon that
Billy Wallace. the Cleveland light
weight contender was born. Wal
lace's mother in visit to New York
in 1925 recalled many OF Richards
deeds of kindness during his days in
Dawson
He never refused anyone help
and he had a way of doing it with
out really letting you know that he
was helping you" she recalled.
In less than year Richard was
broke again.
His policy of playing square"
even with gamblers led to his down.
fall. The other gambling houses in
Dawson closed earlier than the
Northern. and the faro dealers and
card sharps from those places would
come to Richards place to play their
winnings. Richard played them $3.50
and they broke him.

TO MAKE
HIS Plans known I.
Faces Most Important Decision
Of His Entire Career

New York, Jan. 10 (uP)-His
pal and counselor. Tex Riokard,
dead and buried, Jack Dempsey to-
day was = forlorn figure trying to
crepe his way to the most import
ant decisien Of his cireer.
He promised to make public his
future plans today.
After days and nights filled with
grief and torment. Dempsey rent to
bed last night termented by the
same old problem-to fight or not
to fight.
Dempsey would like to stay away
from the ring. but boxing needs him
now as it never did before. Demp-
sey needs the money. but he is not
considering that angle now al he did
when he promised Richard he
would meet the winner OF his 1899
elimination tournament in Septem-
Der.
They are telling Dempsey he owes
it to his departed friend to make
one last glorious gesture for him.
Dempsey doesn't know what to
do.
Il can't think" he said after the
funeral. Ticks gone. ! don't
know what to do"
Dempsey's only announcement to-
day may be that he plans to leave
for California Saturday. instead OF
returning to Miami Beach. Fla. The
former champion talked to his wife
over the long distance telephone
last night and it Is understood he
told her he is starting for Los An
selcs Saturday.
II Dempsey goes back to Calf
fornia the chances are that the
sharkey- Striblink fight schedule.
for February 81 at Miami Beach,
Fla, will never be held. There
seems to be some doubt as to
whether Sharkey has signed a con-
tract for the Miami Beach bout ami
it not he may not. Here for Rick
ards funeral yesterday Sharkey In
Dictated he would demand a $780,
600 guarantee and a percentage.
II don't know whether they can
put the fight on like Tex would
have" Sharkey said. Dempsey
would help some"
With Richard gone, Madison
Square Garden has no hold on
Dempsey and If Jack decides to re-
turn to the ring he may do his
fighting for someone else. Floyd
Fitzsimmons. Detroit promoter and
close friend OF Dempsey, would be
in line for promoting q return bout.
Fitzsimmons and Dempsey have al
ways been friends and Dempsey al
most fought Harry Wills for him.
1t was a strange crowd that paid
its last respects to Richard. Among
the 10000 who sat silently in the
vast ampitheater reared by the
genius OF the late promoter were
millionaires In high. silk hats, ex-
pugs In tattered sweaters, beautiful!
actresses. weeping women and
curious men. They formed 4 line
and filed past the coffin.
The services at the Garden were
brief.
The comm was borne away from
the Garden Tex loved SO well on
the shoulders Of % men. Traffic
halted along Broadway as the
funeral cortege wended it's way up
town and over the Harlem river to
Woodlawn cemetery.
After the services at the cemetery
chapel were over and the crowd of
1000 dispersed, death, mask Of
Richard was made. From this
bronze bust will be made and placed
in the Garden as 4 memorial.
