UTAH'S EFFORT
TO DELAY PACT
NIPPED IN BUD
PRESS ADMITTED WHEN
DIScONTENT FOLLOWS
EXCLUSION

SANTA FE, New Mex, FEB.
l6, Especial TO the Age)-The
Tri- State conference at Santa
Fe, New Mexico took on a fav-
orable cloak Of optimism this
morning when the members of
the delegation from Utah who
have been in an attempt to
introduce a resolution which
would wreck the Boulder Dam
Pact as passed by congress
and send 1t back for several
years more Of legislative back-
ering, were defeated In their
effort to have the resolution
adopted.
Wallace Loses
The resolution, which was pres
ented by Commissioner wallace oil
Utah, followed a meeting OF the
of the upper basin
states. The representatives OF New
Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming
and a portion of the delegates from
Utah were not at all sympathetic
with the Wallace movement and
threw the proverbial monkey
wrench into the mill.
The conference between the
states of Nevada, Arizona and Cali
fornia went ahead harmoniously
with the reading, discussing ana
interpreting of the Swing-Johnson
bill. No serious differences Of opin-
ion were registered by any Of the
conferees.
Allow Press
Starting this morning with only
the representatives of the lower
basin states present, the conference
was later thrown open to observa-
ton and newspapermen from all of
the state but not until it had be-
come apparent that the exclusion
Of some was breeding discomfort.
Predict Okeh
The commissioners Of the
three lower basin states showed
a more sincere desire for har-
mony and understanding than
has been noticeable In any
previous conference which Is
taken here as an omen Of ul-
innate acceptance OF the
Swing Johnson bill provisions
by those states.
While it is too early to venture
any opinion of the result of the
developments so far are
very encouraging.

VANEMAN is
VANQUISHED IN
BOUT WITH BULL
MONTANA GETS z FALLS
ON Ex-ARMY CHAMP
AT ELKS' HALL

Bull Montana put Sam Vane-
mans shoulders to the mat
twice.
That is the story Of the
wrestling match staged last
night ct EIks' Hail between
the movie man and the ex-
army champion.
A combination Of body scissors
ana deadlock did the trick, the
first fall coming after three quar-
ters Of an hour of give and take
the second coming within five
minutes after the two huSkieS fac
ed each other, following a ten
minute rest period.
Challenge Hurled
. "A challenge from the audience
hurled by Art Hudkins. brother OF
Ace Hudkins, at Bull Montana be-
tween round caused a stir. Hud-
kinS made it known that he had
$500 to stake that he had a man
who could throw the Bull three
times in rs minutes.
"Ill put up just as much money
as you want to bet," Montana re-
piled in no uncertain manner. But
first I want to finish this match,
then I'll talk"
Ace Exhibits Skill
The feature match was preceded
by two sparing bouts in which Ace
Hudkins, scheduled to box Mickey
Walker here July 4 for the worlds
middleweight championship, showed
his skill with the assistance OF
Willie O'Brien, one of his sparring
partners, and Mickey Wallace,
local fistic idol.
The wrestling match between
Bull Montana and Vaneman was
featured by attempts on the part
of each to bring the body scissors
into play to get a fall on his op-
ponent.
HeadlOckS Fail
Both tried also to use the head
lock, Vaneman getting this deadly
hold on the Bull at one time 50
effectively it took him about two
minutes to break 1t.
One of the high spots of the
match was the toe hold with which
the ex-army champion put an ex-
preston of agony on Montana's
face. With a supreme effort Bull
extricated himself after several
minutes of torture.
Bull had the body scissors on
Vaneman about four times, and 1t
was this hold that won him the
two falls.
A crowd of some 500 fans saw
the match, which was promoted by
Roy Wilson. The contestants had
$4,000 side bet on the outcome OF
the match.

Todoy's Worst Yarn
By A Dam Site

They all leave money In Las
Vegas when they come here, no
matter how short the visit.
Some they leave In exchange
Tor board and lodgings; some
they leave invested In real es-
late.
But Bull Montana, big, bold,
bad man of the movies, who was
party to a wrestling match in
this city last night, found the
newest way to leave money.
1t all hapepned because Bull
left his car parked in an inap-
prOpriate spot on which Traffic
officer Zeimer was keeping his
weather eye trained. 1t seems
he parked the car at II am.
yesterday, and returned at 1:55
pm. to find tag number seven
"at the wheel"
And so the wrestler left So
with the court as his assurance
that he would appear there

AND SAYS CHARGE
UNCROUNDED

Little did the wrestling fans
who attended the mat fracas at

ciety, realize that one Of the
contestants was being closely
an dcarefully guarded on all
sides of the arena by squad

champion of both wrestling and
boxing for five years, was placed
under arrest by Sheriff Gay and
lodged in the county jail on O
telegraphic warrant from Salinas
California where the wrestler Il
said to be wanted on a charge OF
grand theft.
According to Deputy Sheriff Nc
Cubrey, Vaneman states that he Is
the subject Of an attempt to col
lect money which was lost In g
business venture. Vaneman stated
that the complainants offered to
give him time to raise the money
but that when they learned that
he had left California became I'M
easy and the telegraph warrant
followed.
Waive Extradition
McCubrey asserted that Vaneman
is willing to go back to California
and face his accusers and that he
is certain that everything would
be adjusted.
It was In an attempt to raise
the money In question that Vane-
man offered to wrestle Bull Mon

KENNEDY DUE
SUNDAY WITH
FIGHT PLANS
WILL OPEN OFFICES HERE
TO CONDUCT PRELlM-
MARY BUSINESS
By GEORGE ELLIS

As announced exclusively In
the Age several weeks ago, the
"Ace" Hudkins- Mickey" Walk
er title watch will be staged
here on July 4.
Tom Kennedy, noted sports
promoter and whispered as q
possible contender for "Tex"
Richards crown as king OF
spOrtdom, announced exclus-
lively through the Age that he
had signed Walker on an op-
ton. which for pr0tectOrate
reasons. was an OPTION.
Money No Worry
Since but $15O,O0O needs to be
raised for this great event and
since Kennedy's personal fortune
exceeds that amount by several
telephone numbers, there Is no
fear that the middleweight title
belt will hang from Las Vegas
arena on Independence Day. AS a
matter of fact even if Kennedy
didn't know what he was doing
and didn't have the mazuma him
self any one of three Neveda but
ter an degg men would do a hand
spring to bring the fight here.
But Kennedy will arrive in the
Gateway City tomorrow with a
pocket full of loose change and a
coterie of lawyers and SOME
THING is going to happen.
Hudkins Here
The Nebraska Wildcat" is here
to stay. His training quarters, tenn
porary though they are, are con-
Structed and lent has begun for
the contender whom this writer
has picked as a winner.
Hudkins went through a COM
plete physical examination yester-
day. The physician who handled
the ouija board said that ACE"
was in perfect physical condition.
But it doesn't take doctor to tell
that.
The wildcat" will go through
several rounds of fist business
every day at the training camp on
North Second street. Here Las
Vegas sport fans will have chance
to watch the contender from the
very beginning of his training.
Where the camp will be moved is
up to Kennedy who will, perhaps
decide this matter during the next
week. Several strategic locations
are already under advisement.
Arena Site
The gigantic arena, which will
be constructed to take care Of a
crowd of 100000 will be located on
the immediate outskirts of the city.
Construction will not begin for
some time but Kennedy will bring
with him several architects who
will begin plans for its construc-
ton at once.
The promoter and his office
force will mountain headquarters
here. Temporarily Kennedy will
conduct his business from q local
residence which has been fitted In
to office quarters for him and his
staff. Later all business will be
conducted from q building which
will be built on the arena site.

The average visitor Is not looklns
for LIQUOR. He is looking Tor
chance to make some money. Inc
citizens of Las Vegas are not IN
terested in booze. Either they are
business men or chronic card play
ers and neither class will mix PAD
booze with his daily quest for the
elusive dollar.
Also the Federal men are re-
ported to be headed Las Vegas

in town were raided. It Is gener-
allv understood in Las Vegas tnat
Uncle Sam Is going to see tnat
the town Is made bone dry before
actual construction begins on the
Boulder Dam, twenty-five miles
distant. SO the substantial citizen
nv of Las Vegas expects the town
to become even dryer rather than
wetter, With the progress OF the
boom.
May Get Fight
One thing Las Vegas seems 70
be pretty wei agreed upon. That is
the desirability and likelihood OF
pulling off championship boxing
contest here next summer. They
are quite fusesd up about making
$4,000 or 100000 Elks and others
come here to see two pugs pummel
each other around in the broiling
July sun for twenty rounds, more
or less. They think 1t win focus
the eyes of the world on Las Vegas
and the Boulder Dam development
district. AS If the world hadn't al
ready sat up and taken notice. Oi
course, it's just talk about the
championship scrap in Las Vegas
so far. 1t may wind up In just
talk. But some Of the best citi-
