SAN BENITO, July 23.-Possi-
bility Of infested citrus fruit or
other fruit from Florida reaching
the Valley is considered exceedingly
unlikely by j. E. Bell, chairman of
the Valley fruit fly cleanup COM
mittee, who was in Florida a short
time ago.
Bell went through the entire in
tested area, and said the uuaran-
time regulations which are in force
there are the most rigid that he has
ever encountered in any other Sec
ton, for any other reason.
1T is impossible to travel more
than a few miles in an automobile
without having to get out of the
car, have your baggage searched
the car locked up and fumigated
and other precautions taken to pre-
vent spread of the fruit fly" he
said.
Bell emphasized the importance
OF keeping a close and continuous
watch in this section, however.

Chinese and Japanese news agen-

Governmental and diplomatic circles
here today continued optimistic
over the course of the dispute be-
tween China and soviet Russia.
The feeling that hostilities would
be avoided was sustained, not only
by the assurances from the Marking
and Moscow governments that they
intended to comply with the terms
of the Kellogg-Briand treaty re-

from authoritative quarters that the

( And it is almost certain that any
such fruit reaching the Valley
would be seized Immediately and
destroyed.
There is no reason for people in
the Valley to get panicky over the
discovery Of some Florida fruit at
La Feria, although it emphasizes
the need for every resident of the
Valley to maintain a strict watch,
and to help in every way to pre-
vent infestation in this section 2
Ford said.
Entering of fruit such as that
found at La Feria will probably not
occur again, and the fruit was, Of
course, inspected in Florida, or it
would not have been on sale. Still
the regulations preventing entry
Of such fruit will be tightened in
every way, in order to remove this
threat in the future"
Danger In Texas
Ford explained that the greatest
danger of an infestation of the
Mediterranean fruit fly in the Val
ley exists not in the possible ship
ments Of fruit from Florida here,
but in an infeStation in some near
by point, such as East Texas.
Shipments of Florida fruit to
East Texas might result in light
infestation in the peach orchards
there, which are host fruit for the
pest" Ford said This infestation
might not be detected for some
time, and during that time consid-
erable quantities of peaches might
be shipped into the Valley. These
would constitute a grave danger to
this section.
I'VE are taking every precaution
against such danger, by inspect
ing all fruit and other hosts fruits
shipped into the Valley. Inspectors
in our department have been going
through all shipments Of peaches
and other hoss fruits before they
are taken out Of the cars, and in
this way the danger reduced to
practically a minimum -

BOXING FACES 4
 DISMAL OUTLOOK
No Outstanding Heavyweight
 Match Is in the Works

New York. May Rl-After a prosperous winter season. where Miami Beach shared the fistic spot light with New York, Boston, De- troit and Chicago, the boxing busi- ness faces | somewhat dismal out look for the open air campaign.
 The biz extravaganza built up over . period of years by the late Tex Rickard. with Jack Dempsey as the main magnet. reached their peak at Chicago in 1927. They have been skidding downhill ever since. The main affair of 1928. the Tunney- Heeney bout. was. financial bust The prospects are no brighter for an outstanding heavyweight feature for 1929.
 No outdoor season ever has reap cd . financial harvest without being buttressed by interest in the heavy weights The biz fellows set the pace as drawing cards but of the present crop. the experts regard Max Echmeling. the German clouter, as the only figure likely to arouse pop. ,,lar enthusiasm. If Schmeling scores decisively over Pauline at the Yam kee Stadium on June :7. it may then be possible to "smoke up an elimi- nation contest with Jack Sharkey for . September climax.
 For various we'll known reasons, the championship color has faded in many of the other ring divisions. Al consequence they offer few, if any. exciting summer prospects.
 The flyweiEht and bantamweighl titles are still in dispute. although the forthcoming match between Fi- del 1.abarba and Kid Chocolate in New York may help clarify the 11s- pound division situation.

stitutional form of government was adopted. he said. However. the acts although perfect in every sense and in conformity with the ideals Of the people, were late. The adjoining powers, Prussia, Russia and Austria. had already made two partitions of Poland and the third came soon aft CT the adoption Of the constitution.
 In conclusion. the speaker stated that although Poland had been di- vided and although her people were forced to give up their customs, the constitution was preserved and serv- ed as reminder to the people of the vain efforts of their forefathers to preserve their country and helped to mould future generations and in- still tn them a spirit of patriotism that finally brought Poland back to her former glory.
 John Zielinski Of Holyoke, Mass, spoke on the relation Of the consti- tuition in reference to uniting the many millions of Poles who had lived in every nook and corner of the earth through more than cen- tury of isolation. He said that such meetings as the one held last eve ming helped in a large measure to unite the Polish people and filled them with a never dying hope of seeing their country once again free. and the people unmolested. In con- clusion. the speaker reminded his listeners that continuation of the unity and cooperation so well evi- dent through generations. will mean faster progress in the pursuance of national and international recogni. ton.
 Alderman Peter J. Pajcwski took occasion to thank the Polish people for their united front in the last election in helping him to win the aldermanic berth and assured them that he would do everything in his power to repay them by looking after their needs. He said that the cooperation he received was evi-

 Dr. Bronislaw Lutecki of Hartford related the historical aspects of the constitution and briefly outlined the incidents leading up to the drawing up and adoption of the measures. He said that Poland realized the im- portance of including the masses l., the economical, political and social progress of the nation long before any other European country thought of it and for this purpose the leading statesmen and patriots gathered or the memorable day of the third Of May. 17sl and adopted . code os laws that gave the people the right to govern themselves in accordanc. with natural laws of liberty and equality.

Under . compromise agreement which was made at . meet1us Of the painters, paper hangeps and decora- tors Saturday afterpeon. the striking journeymen wW receive their de- manded 34t for 70 hours of work during the sixth months of the spring and summer. but will work under the former scale of $1 an hour for the other six months of the year. The new scale goes into effect imme- diately.
 This brings to an end the strike which began Wednesday morning and lasted until this morning when the men returned to work. Approxi- mately 50 men were affected by the strike. the greater portion being em- ployed in four shops, Occupin X Johnson, John Boyle Co.,, Crowley Brothers, and J. Johnson Sons.
 At first the master painters stead fastly refused to compromise. Later an offer to give the employees their Saturday morning holiday without pay was made and when this was re- fused the master painters offered to Grant the demanded Saturday holi- day with pay during the three summer months. When this offer was refused the master painters ad- vertised in New Britain and out-of- town newspapers for 70 employees to take the place Of the striking jour neymen.
 Although no official statement was issued Saturday morning it was hintcd by the union men that the strike would come to end that day. Secretary Walter P.

 The customers may sse aroused by

 ker and Ace HSAkins for the mid dleveieth tit1& or between Tommy Loughran and Leo Lomski for the light heavyweight championship. but se 1ps there is no frenzied bidding tsS either match. Chicago. Boston. Hos Angeles and Detroit can scram- hIs for these affairs, since the New York boxing rulers are not on speak ing terms with either Walker or Loughran.
 Since several we'll known rivalries expired. New York has had com parativeiy few 'big shots in out door fsticuffs and still fewer that have paid any substantial dividends.
 There has been no lightweight feud to pack 'em in as Benny Leon- ard and Lew Tender did on two oc- casions. at Jersey City in 1922 and at the Yankee Stadium in 1923.
 Mickey Walker and Harry Greb helped attract nearly half million dollar gate" in 1925 but the mid have experienced no such since then.
 The last Berlenbach-Delaney title fight. at Ebbets Field in 1926. an- other 35O0.000 affair. was also the last light heavyweight title in the big money list.
 The Dempsey Sharkey battle of 1927 at the Yankee Stadium was New York's last million dollar heavyweight show. Tunney's fare we'll salute in 1928 against Heeney. drew little more than $50a.000 and this figure is not likely to be exceed ed by any show here this year.
