Duvall has sixty days IN
which to file motion for re-
hearing. If he fails to do so,
the sheriff either can take him
to Jail or his bondsmen may
surrender him.
DuvaH was convicted upon an at-
fdavit charging that he promised
William H Armitage, then Repub-
lican political power, the privilege OF
naming the city civil engineer and
two members of the board Of pub
lie works if he was elected mayor
in return for a $4,000 campaign
contribution by Armitage and his
political support.
Armitage Tells Story
Armitage testified to these facts
in the trial which lasted several
days in September, 1927. The state
introduced twelve other witnesses
who testified about promises of po-
litical patronage by Duvall.
Duvall in his appeal, filed IN De-
cember, 1927, contended that Spe-
cial Judge Cassius G. Shirley erred
in permitting certain testimony of
the twelve witnesses to go into the
record. The appellate judges ruled
that Judge Shirley did not err.
The decision, written by Chief
Justice Willis c. AIcNfahan, declared
the testimony of the twelve wit
nesses was proper, "as tending to
show a system, purpose and intent
ol Duvall in making the promises
and that the promise made to
Armitage and each Of the twelve
witnesses was to secure votes and
support in the election, and the
combination Of circumstances was
sufficient to establish common
plan OH the part Of tne appellant to
violate the law to accomplish his
desire
Conference Is Called
The lower court is directed to
strike out Of the verdict the prohi-
bition to holding public office.
Michael A. Ryan and Martin Hugg,
Duvall's attorneys, said they would
confer with Duvall Wednesday upon
whether he will take further steps
to avoid the jail term.
Early in October, 1927, after the
conviction, DuYall was ousted as
mayor by city council The same
afternoon DuvalI resigned" and
passed the mayors Office along
through his wife, Mrs. Maude Duvall,
then city controller, to Ira M
Holmes, attorney.
There followed a week in which
the city had both Holmes and Claude
M Negley, then president Of city
council, claiming the mayors chair.
Slack Named Mayor
Council finally elected L. Ert
Slack mayor; a series of suits fol-
lowed, and ultimately a supreme
court decision settled the matter in
Slack's favor
The Duvall appeal originally was
filed in supreme court, but was
transferred to appellate court a few
weeks ago, under the act Of the 1929
legislature, intended TO relieve con-
gestion in supreme court.

and counselor, Tex Richard, dead
and buried, Jack Dempsey today
was = forlorn figure trying to grope
his way to the most important de-
cision of his caree-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 as he
did when he promised Rickard he

Dempsey's only announcement to-
Cay may be that he plans to leave

is starting for Los Angeles Satur-

Commissioner Says Schools Big Enough to Take Care

Northwestern athletic officials are
emphatic in statements that they
will not recognize the "a. A. u. as

The A. A. U, for years has desig-
mated itself as "the governing body
of amateur athletics in this coun-
try" 1t has not recognized the A.

Just why is hard to explain. The
Northwestern men who competed in
A. A. F. meets last summer are
amateurs. They have violated no
amateur rules and they competed
with the sanction of their university
The A. A. U. has not charged that
they violated any amateur rules
The only offense seems to have
been that they competed in a meet
which was not under A. A. U.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-The con-
troversial feeling which has existed
for years between the Amateur Ath-

versities and colleges finally has
been brought to an open fight with
Northwestern university as the
storm center.
The trouble started when a swim

found some members of the North
western team competed in A. A. F.
meets last summer. Since most of
the c. A. A. competition is with A.

Jack Dempsey Undecided on Plans;
Sharkey May Not Meet Stribling
Former Champ Confused and BeWdered; Garden Has No
Hold on Him With Richard Gone

at Miami Beach, Fla, never will be
held. There seems to be some doubt
as to whether Sharkey has signed a
contract for the bout and if not, he
may not.
Il 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 some one else.
1t was a strange crowd that paid
its last respects to Rickard. 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 Curl
Gus men. They formed line and
filed past the coffin.
The promoters slim, young wife
rested on Dempsey's shoulder. Later
she collapsed at the services at the
cemetery and had to be helped to
her automobile by Dempstey and
Walter Fields.
A death mask of Rickard was
made and from this a bronze bust
will be made and placed in the Gar
den as a memorial.
