That Dempsey Shooting Affair So many persons have asked us. since our return from Miami Beach, for the “low-down'’ on that mysterious early morning shooting affair reported by Jack Dempsey on the eve ; of the Sharkey-Stilbling fight, that we, have decided to come right out and • tell all about it. In the first place, it wasn't a publicity stnnt. As a matter of fact, it was mighty poor publicity and angered a number of people who felt their, intelligence was being impo sed upon. | The entire incident was a compilation of vivid imaginations. if the Miami police had been equally impressed with the dramatic possibilities of the affair, the handsome hoosegow on the twelfth flo«r of the city hall tower would be filled with suspects to this day. But the police, after lifting the tops from a few ash cans and peering into a few abondoned bath houses, decided that the mysterious little five-foot-two prowler with the celluloid collar must have made good his escape and so went back to their checkers. It develops that, what happened out at Harry Moir's house was this: Dempsey and his friend Floyd Fitzsimmons were sharing a bedroom and had also shared a large and succulent welsh rarebit shortly before retiring. Jack dreamed that pink elephants with celluloid collars were prancing on his bed posts, while Floyd saw something simple such as a big yellow snake, going down stairs with its shoes under its arm. A breeze from the ocean swept in through the wide windows. A door, left ajar, swung on its hinges, gathered momentum and closed with a crash! ‘ When Jack finally pried Floyd out from underneath the bed, they asked each other what had happened. "There were two of them,” suggest-

ed Floyd. "Yes,” agreed Jack, "there must have beert at least two of them." "It's very mysterious,” murmured Floyd, idly picking a bullet hole in I the plaster behind his back. “Aha," said Jack, "that gives me an idea. If it's mysterious, let us : send for Sergeant Tapscott, my faithi ful body-guard, who is sleeping off a hangover a few b'oeks down the beach. He is a detective and mysterous i things are right in his alley." Came the Tapscott, girding on his i trousers, and from that time on it was just a matter of getting together on the details, ascribing a logical motive and such simple things as that. Speaking of Publicity Steve Hannagan wouldn't have pollen a raw one like that. Steve has too much appreciation of news values to leave the original announcement to a chauffeur. He would have started it from the police station, and saved time for his clients, the newspaper-' men. This young and impish individual ■ with the infectious Irish smile is rap-I idly becoming a national institution. It was his quick wit, coupled in the betting with Dempsey's popularity and W. F. Carey’s generosity, which made that Sharkey-Stribling fight the financial success it became. Steve was ever at Dempsey's elbow, advising Jack, counseling him through the intricacies of a situation that was new to the Man from Manassa. When Jack got the blues, Steve cheered him up; when Jack got extravagant, Steve toned him down. And all the tim<> words, words and more words were flowing out beneath a Miami Beach dateline to newspapers it. all parts of the country. Fur Han- ' ragan, in his spare moments, was publicity man for the winter resort at which the fight was held. But you never would have guessed that. You would have thought he owned it.

HOPE FOR ARMS CONFERENCE IN 1929 BLASTED League Believes Earliest Possible Date Is Spring Os Next Year By Henry Wood (United Press Staff Correspondent) Geneva. March 15— (UP)— League | of Nations circles have informed the | j United Pt ess that there will be no j possibility of holding a general dis-1 a: moment conference this year The earliest date it was declared ; i at each such a conference can be con- I - voked will be the spring f 1930 but it I I is more than probable that it will be i i well along in the fall before it can be . I held. l! This delay is due purely to the pre | I sent lack of progress in the prepara- 1 I tlon for the conference. ! It will he necessary it was pointed ] | out. that the League's Preparatory I ! Disarmament Commission must have I at least two mon- sessions before ■ agreement can be reached on a draft j project f r a general disarmament | convention. j The first of these meetings has al- < I ready been fixed for April 15, While | ' it had been hoped that the commission I might at that time proceed to the see- j ond reading of the draft disarmament i i project was prepared last year, it ‘ is now considered doubtful if even that I can be done at the present time. Instead it is believed more than pro- 1 liable that the oommission which here | tofore has insisted on handling the j military, naval and aerial aspects of ' disarmament in plenary session, will j 1 now be forced to appoint at least a ! [ military and a naval subcommission I j to study those parts of the problem I! separately. In the event these two subcommis- j sions are able to reach a sufficient i measure .of agreement a second meet- ! ing of the preparatory commission can I it will still be necessary to allow six j ( months to elapse for the various gov- j ernments to study'the project before . convoking the final conference for l its adopt: n. I j This delay of six months has always f been accorded by the League for the = study of all draft conventions, and J it is consideerd especially necessary 1 in the present instance in order to al- j low the new administration at Wash- . « ington and the new English govern- j meat that will come into power in i July ample time for establishing their ; fl disarmament policy. I j As a consequence there is no pos- ’: sibility of the League's first general I disarmament conference being held ’ until well into 1930. To offset this delay, however, the I League expects to be able to convoke ! for this year its first international ’ fonference for the progressive codifi-j cat: n of international law. • This conference will be held at the , Hague in the fall. PLANS TRIP OVER FALLS By Harry Van Lunger (United Press Staff Correspondent) I Niagara Falls, N- Y., March 15—(U.R) —Jean Lussier, French-Canadian who i successfully made the perilous trip over the Falls last Summer encased ' in a rubber ball, probably will dare , daath a second time on July 4. Lussier went over the Falls in a specially constructed ball in daylight with more than 75,000 pers. ns witnes- ! sing the feat. He was fished from the | liver two hours after starting his trip ' by William “Red” Hill, veteran river-I man. Lussier is planning to make the sec- ■ ond trip in a vehicle which he calls , a parlor ball.'' The ball will be six I feet in diameter, electrically lighted and so constructed that the occupant will be able to remain upright during the entire journey, it will be heavily padded inside to insure escape from any gerious injury. As in foimer attempts, Lussier will i be staited on his journey from the rapids shortly above the falls. Here the ball will be subjected to a heavy whirpounding, the treacherous current whirling against pointed rocks. After passing through the rapids the ball will be can led over the brink of the precipice and plunged down to thousands of jagged rocks below the Falls It is estimated that the ball will be traveling at a speed of 75 miles an h> ur while dropping from the brink to the lower whirlpool. It will be impossible to release Lussier from the hall until it has reached a point at least 1,000 yards from the base of the Falls, due to the whirl- | pool. It is expected that 100,000 per- I sons will view the feat.” — oGet the Habit —Trade at Home, It Pays i
