A complete investigation of the cir- cumstances surrounding the Carpen- tier-Siki_fight, which the Semegalese deputy, Diagne qualified in the cham ber of deputies last week in open de- bate as a “frame-up,” is to be made by the civil tribunal. The boxing federation has called a special meeting for tomorrow after- noon to discuss the accusations made against it by Deputy Diagne, and an- nounces that it will -take legal pro- ceedings—for damages against the dep- uty. On the other hand Diagne him- self has enzaged counsel to sue the federation in an attempt to obtain the rehabilitation of Siki and to prevent the federation from placing the Sen- egalese fighter in the position of be- ing unable to earn his living, thus leaving Siki, his wife and child, “fac- ing starvation.” - Diagne's accusations in open ses- sion of the chamber of -deputies, to which the federation takes exception, are quoted in the report published by the Official Journal as follows: ‘Siki refused to carry out instruc- | tions which would have caused the public to be fooled and swindled of its money. Suddenly becoming consci- ous of his own strength while in the ! ring, he refused to lay down in the’ fourth round and abandon to Carpen- | tier another victory.” \ Deputy Diagne explains that his; words as quoted above cast mo Te flection on the honesty of the mem- ! bers of the French boxing federation. | “The overtures made to Siki to get| neither guns, troops nor explosives, but | did carry 5,400 cases of ammunition, the official repoet of the vessel's cargo made public by Dudley ¥ield Malone, collector of therport at the time, shows, according to a copyrighted story in the New York Wiorkd. The cases-of ammunition, the report stated, werevcarried by specific permis- sion under the rulings of the depart- ment of commmerce in force since 1911. Mr. Malone's report, the newspaper says, was made to Secretary of the Treasurer McAdoo. It was dated June 4, 1915, and was called for after the Germafl septy of May 28 te Pfesident ‘Wilson's first Lasitania note of May 13, had =et up the contention the Lusitania had been armed and that her rapid sinking was due, not to the torpedo, but to the expiosion of ammunition.
