EX-CHAMPION PROVES RIGHT TO MEET TUNNEY Stages Comeback in Hard-Won Victory With Terrific At- tack in Seventh. By the Ascociated Press NEW YORK, July 22.—The official slow motion pictures of the Dempsey- Sharkey fight, showinz the milling in the seventh round. revealed today that the disputed blow which con- tributed to Dempsey's victory was apparently fair. The films were shown only to newspaper men. “Tex" Rickard, promoter of last night's.exhibition, was oue of the wit- nesses to today’s showins. He said that in his opinion, the blow was “a fair one, right in the pit of the stom- ach The film was run off three times to permit the newspaper men to com- pare their judsments. The slow mo- tions of the fighters revealed that Dempsey struck three hard rights to the stomach of Sharkey before de- livering the left to the jaw that knocked out his opponent. Sharkey's Trunks Higher. The pictures showed that Sharkey was wearing his trunks pulled higher up than Dempsey was wearing his, which led newspaper men today to assert that this fact had probahly contributed much to the confusion of last night's witnesses of the bout. The pictures show that a great majority of Dempsey's blows were to the body. They were short, vicious jabs and hooks for the most part, many of them in the ribs or near the pit of the stomach. The continual raining of these blows caused Sharkey to slow up perceptibly after the fourth round. “Slow” movies were not made for every round, but it so happened that the operator took the slow action of the deciding round and, as the final count of 10 was given, his “tape” ran out. The slow movies were made by ew Haven, Conn., firm, which has been making the secret slow movies used by the Yale foot ball team for Mead Coach Tad Jones. The camera was operated by a motor and the pic- tures were more distinct than those ordinarily shown. Final Blows Shown. When the final blows were delivered the fighters were at a slight angle. Dempsey’s heavy upper thrusts ap- peared just above the belt of Sharkey's trunks. Some of the ob- servers thought the blows were close 10 the line. A few newspaper critics still claimed the disputed blow was Jow, but the majority agreed that the punch was fair. “I have never seen heavyweights fight as fast as they did last night,” said “Tex” Rickard, as he watched a showing of the pictures. “There was as much action in the seven rounds as you will ordinarily see in 15 rounds. The fighters fought every second, and there was surprisingly little clinch- ing.” As the slow motion picture of the seventh round was shown “Tex” leaned intently forward in his chair, his eves gleaming in the darkened projecting room. Looks Fair to “Tex “There goes the right,” said Rick- , to a_reporter the “It lands in the pit stoma Now the left goes to the jaw. That's the knockout. All very plain.” The “hollow shell” of Hollywood was loaded after all, it seems, and to- day Jack Dempsey, at 32, is on the highroad of a sensational come-back s the result of a stunning knockout victory over Jack Sharkey. In a finish as sudden and dramatic as it was marked also by sharp con- 1rovers; the former king of the heavyweights drepped Sharkey for the count in the seventh round of their 15- round match and put an abrupt end, for the present, to the confident course of the young Boston sailor. A vicious right to the midsection—a blow that roused bitter controversy as whether it was fair or foul—started Sharkey downward, and a short left hook, flush to the chin, completed the sailor's downfall.

RUSSELL YOUNG, Staff Correspondent of The Star. STATE GAME LODGE, BLACK HILLS, S. Dak., July 22.—President Coolidge has before him today a defi- nite program for further tax reduc- tion to the extent of about $300,000, 000, which has been carefully prepared by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, who, as chairman of the Senate finance committee, will have personal charge of the framing of the next tax bill. ‘While laying his plan for another generous tax slash before the Presi- dent Senator Smoot pointed out the advantages to be gained by giving Congress an early start and again urged the assembling of Congress a month or six weeks in advance of the regular meeting time, the first Mon- day in December. Besides discussing his plan for another tax cut and his efforts to impress upon the Executive his views regarding an extra session of Congress, Senator Smoot gave an outline of what he thinks should be adopted in the way of a legislative program to be followed when Congress | meets. Wants Deficiency Bill Passed. He would like to see the deficiency bill, which failed to pass when_ it got | caught in the eleventh-hour jam at the last session, disposed of before anything else is consic Whether there is an extra session or not, this lett-over bill, which has caused so much embarrassment and no end of hardship by its failure to pass, should be given preference over all other leg- islation. Senator Smoot anticipates no difficulty in getting this bill thorugh both Houses when once it ‘- brought up for action. It is merely a ques- tion of giving it a clear track, he said. In this respect, he ente. ‘ains the same view as exp1 sed here a few weeks ago by Representative John Q. Tilson of Connecticut, Republican leader of the House. In drawing up his tax- reduction plan, Scnator Smoot insists that the slash should not exceed $30f 1000,000. At least one-half of this re- | duction, according to his plan, would | be brought about by wering the cor- | poration tax rate from 131;, the pres- lent tax rate, to 12 per cent. He proposes elimination of the | dues, admission and other so-called { nuisance taxes; reduction of the tax |levy on automobiles from 3 per cent, | the present rate, to 113 per cent, and reduction of taxes on incomes rang- ing from $15,000 to $60,000. In sub- stance, Senator Smoot’s plan is ve similar to the tax-reduction ideas ex prossed to the President by Repre- sentative Tilson when he was here. It is believed the plan will be gen- erally approved by Republicans of both the House and Senate. The Senator, however, looks for a lively fight in both Houses before the tax bill is finally passed. “It must be remembered,” Senator Smoot poin.ed out, “thav Congress will be meeting in What is referred to as a_political .r—on the eve of a national election and the #omptation to play politics and m er for political advantage will 1 t.

By the Associated Press. BUCHAREST, Rumania, July 22.— Prince Carol remains in exile and he cannot return either to his father’'s funeral or later, government officials declared today. This statement was made during comment on reports from Paris, inti- mating that Prince Carol had not abandoned pretentions to the throne. These reports were based on a state- ment given out in Paris last night on behalf of the prince by a high person- age closely connected with him. In this statement the former Crown Prince was referred to as “King Carol.” Officials here today referred to the law ratifying Prince Carol's abdica- tion of his rights and to King Ferdi- nand’s will, in which Prince Michael’s succession again was accepted with- out question. Body Rests in Palace. In a simple golden oak casket, cov- ered with flowers from Queen Marie and his daughters, the body of King Ferdinand rested today in the golden hall of Cotroceni Palace. Thousands of sorrowing Rumanians passed the bier to do honor to their beloved King. The body was brought to the Win- ter palace vesterday from the royal Summer estate at Sinaia, where the monarch died. It will lie in state un- til Sunday, when burial will take place in the royal mausoleum at Cur- tea de Arges. On his tomb will be engraved the words: “I am a Ru. manian, first, last and all the time.” Guns’ boomed as the funeral train came to a stop in the capital. Al- though rain was falling, silent crowds watched as the coffin, surmounted by the sovereign's sword and cap, was borne from the station to a gun car- riage and thence through the streets of the city to the palace. Men, women and children wept as the cor- tege passed. Officials Await Arrival. Awaiting the body at the palace were the regents, cabinet members, the commander-in.chief of the army and civil authorities. When the pro- cession made its way through the por- tals of the palace, Prince Nicolas, in crepe-banded_naval uniform, walked (Continued on Page 5, Column 1.) .

By the Associated Press GENEVA, July 22.—The American delegation to the tripartite naval con- | ference remains adamant in upholding the right to build cruisers armed with S-inch guns, according to information in reliable quarters here today. Furthermore, it is understood that taking this stand in defense of | American naval requirements the dele- gates advocate cruisers large enough to carry a battery of six 8-inch guns instead of merely one or two. Naval experts here estimate that a cruiser carying six 8-inch guns should have a displacement of 8,300 tons. Might Break Off Negotiations. British delegates have been insisting on limiting secondary cruisers to 6,000 tons, with no guns larger than 6-inch caliber. Should the British delegates return from their present visit to Lon- don with a mandate from their govern- ment to uphold this demand, it is feared in some conference circles that definite breaking off of negotiations might ensue. Belief is expressed here that the British government has been fore- warned that the American delegates are determined, whatever may be the outcome, to insist upon the liberty to construct whatever type of cruiser the United States may deem essential for her naval needs. Japanese Win at Base Ball. | | 1 The American base ball team, made up of diplomats, naval officers and newspaper men here for the three- power naval conference, after tasting defeat at the hands of the Japanese team Wednesday, has demanded a chance for a return game, which the Nipponese readily accorded. ‘The score of Wednesday's game was 26-S.

CONFER WITH BRITISH CABINET Cecil and Bridgeman Encounter Op- position to Concessions. LONDON, July (®P).—Political interest here today was centered on the meeting of the cabinet called es- pecially to consider the report of the two chief British delegates to the Geneva naval reduction conference. ‘W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the admiralty, who came from Geneva ‘Wednesday, spent a good part of yes- terday conferring with permanent officials of the admiralty, Sir Austen Chamberlain, secretary for foreign affairs, and some members of the committee for imperial defense. This committee was largely responsible for the framing of the British plan as submitted at Geneva and for the gen- eral instructions given to the British delegat Viscount Cecil, who returned with Mr. Bridgeman, also had important interviews with some of the cabinet ministers. Nothing official could be learned re- specting the views of the ministers, but, according to some political writers, there are certain members who are strongly disinclined to budge from Great Britain’s position on the cruiser question as enunciated at Geneva, The newspapers had little to say ahout the matter today, the Conserva- tive Morning Post being the only one to comment. “It is indeed difficult,” it says, *to perceive by what means an agree- ment with the United States may be reached as long as the American dele- gates urge Great Britain to reduce her fleet in order to suit the ex- igencies of American domestic poli- ics.” CHINESE CIVIL WAR | CRISIS SEEMS PAST | 22 Request for Return of Missionaries Teken as Indication of Quieter Situation.

Jews Are Barred From Wailing Wall Because of Quake JERUSALEM, July (Jewish Telegraph Agency).—For the first time in many centuries, the pray- ers of pious Jews at the western wall of the temple, commonly known as the wailing wall, have been interrupted. The recent earth- quake that shook Palestine, and Transjordania is responsible, the authorities preventing pilgrimages of the Jews to the wall, because they say the houses in the narrow streets adjacent to it have been ren- dered unsafe by the quake. The earthquake has called forth a deeply religious mood among the Arab population of the affected re- gion. Emir Abdullah, ruler of ‘Transjordania, has decreed a fast of three days, the populace being urged to spend the time in prayer and repentance. Any Arab subjects of the Emir found eating during these three fast.days will be liable to six months’ igfprisonment. federation to fight plans of the United | States Government to obtain “undue | control” of the Nicaraguan govern- |ment's finances and ordering an fin- vestigation of reports that a Marine | killed a worker in Haiti. Adoption of the resolutions was ef- | fected after a bitter attack on Ameri- can bankers by the Nicaraguan, Salo- { mon de la Selva, and a wholesale de- nunciation of the Latin American ; policy of the United States by Ricardo | Martinez of Venezuela. Martinez’ tirade, in which he bitterly criticized the procedure of the convention, pre- cipitated another fight similar to that which took place yesterday when he demanded that a communication from President Machado of Cuba be re- jected. To Probe Shooting Reports. The Haiti resolution ordered the executive council of the Federation further to investigate reports of the shooting of a worker by the marine. Santiago Iglesias, secretary of the fed- eration, explained that because of the unofficial nature of the reports they should be investigated further to de- termine the facts of the situation. Martinez declared that Iglesias, “In- stead of doing anything to help along the resolution, has done all he could to_annihilate.” He declared that the same situa- tion exists in Haiti as in Nicaragua, and that “the United States Govern- ment manipulates Haiti through the 1ational bank, the last visitation made on Haiti, by that trader, President Borno.” Senator King, seeking to investi- gate the misery and tyranny in Haiti, cecently was denied admittance to the country, Martinez said, declaring that it was the duty of the convention “to strive to criticize the United States.” Attack Halted by Green. He then launched into a review of the Nicaraguan situation and was in- terrupted by President William Green, who demanded that the discussion he confined to Haiti, the subject of the resolution. Martinez explained that he went by the route of Nicaragua to show that the influence of the same banking interests that oppresad Nica: ragua is working in Haiti. “I feel that if we don't get up and denounce the criminal exuWitation which was begun by President Monroe we will never convincu Latin America of the effectiveness of the policies adopted in this congress,” he said. President Green took this occasion to rebuke the Venezuelan. “While the representatives of Latin America feel that they have been imposed upon and have suffered many grievances,” he declared, “this federation is not a clearing house for all the political grievances in the Latin American re- publics. We are always in danger of extremes that might hurt the cause we are trying to help.” Denounces “Exploitation.” ‘When the Nicaraguan resolution was introduced, Selva, in an eloquent speech, denounced the “exploitation of his country by American capital ists and appealed to the federation for its co-operation in the efforts of the “icaraguan people to win back con- rol of their country. “There is something rotten in the Nicaraguan intervention,” he said, asserting that the fight at Ocotal the other day was a répetition of what happened in 1912. “The people of the United States do mot know the real reason for this intervention,” he de- clared. “The people believe it is a move to save the life and property of citizens of the United States and to uphold the country’s honor. “What has been done in Nicaragua has been done to serve the bankers.
