A dozen of them éscorted bim inte the prison yard. He entered the doors of his istand prison home at § o'clock last night The nervy bandit, who was twice convicted of robbing Uncle Sam's mail, and who twice escaped from guards, bringing him from California, told his captors that he is “thru,” and all that he wants from now on is a “square deal.” But the guards here said today they are going to take no chances. —s _ _.

But we have got a high barbed wire fence and lots of watch tow- ers a no man yet has beat a Springfield bullet if it was headed in his direction. He may get away, but the chances are he'll go in a coffin if he tries to leave.” The location of the mafl sack which Gardner took from a train in California last month still is un- known. While the robber talked freely of his movements up to the| time of his capture in Centralia, he declined to tell where he had hidden the sack. GRINS AT CROWDS GATHERED AT DEPOT The bandit never entirely lost his smile during the journey from. the Centralia jail to the island prison. He grinned at the thousand curious Jentralians who jammed tlre station platform there as the train pulled ‘On the trip he was handcuffed on either side to railway special agents. With these officers were United States Marshal J. B. Holohan, of San Francisco, and two other special agents. When the officers tried to brush a camera man away at Centralia Gard- ner exclaimed: “Let him take it,” and the request was granted. As the train pulled out he ‘waved | his braceleted hands to one of the officers there.

CARP TRAINS HARD FOR GO Kilbane Lauds Georges’ Training Methods BY JOHNNY KILBANR (Copyright, 1921, by Beattie Star.) MANHASSET, N, Y., June 17. —One week of hard work would Carpentier in shape For the French challenger, who is to meet Dempsey July 2 for the heavy ttle, is an all-around athlete and an expert at many kinds of sport. He is using several of these side- lines in preparing himself for the \Jersey battle. He does a lot of tar-/ get shooting, also—says it helps his eye wonderfully. It's been a long time since I've seen a more nearly physically per- fect athlete than Carpentier when he throws off the.bathrobe and steps into the ring to work with Journee, the big sparring partner he brought from France, He's tali—nearly the same height as Dempsey, but the difference in build of the fightere makes Georges appear far the smaller, Dempsey has the ruggedness of a bull. Thick neck, broad shoulders, but with legs that taper down gracefully—an ideal build for a fighter. Georges, on the other hand, has a small neck—too small to withstand a hammering, some of his critics say—his shoulders are broad and his thighs and legs are stocky. The muscles in his legs. stand out like whipcord, altho his arm and back muscles are the deceptive, flat sort that do not impress one until the challenger gets into the ring and brings them into play. I am interested in Carpentier's eyes, I notice that while we talk he keeps them on me all the time, But they are pleasant hazel eyes, with a smile in them—atmost like a wom- an‘s, ‘In the ring his eyes tighten and the hard look comes. Georges, outside the ring, ts full of nervous energy. He never walks from the house to the old barn in which his indoor ring is located—he runs, He never crawls thru the ropes—he jumps over. In the ring he's calm and cool. The challenger is using every aid to put him into the best possible condition against Dempsey. For instance, Trainer Gus Wilson has strung up for him a bag filled with shelled corn. Georges ham- mers away at this daily, using the palms of his hands to toughen them. The challenger will have the edge in ring experience, for he has been battling for 14 years, while the cham- pion did not break into the record books until 1915, Woman Wearing Derby and Smoking Cigar Makes 2nd Ave. Rub Its Eyes Did you see it? If you didn't you surely missed something. Scientists claim the optic nerve is quite as susceptible to intoxication as | the brain and stomach, After view- ing “It,” promenading down Second ave. Thursday afternoon, we agree with science. Certain it is that fic cop at ond and Madison got quite a “kick” out of “It.” Men stopped and stared. Women asped. Children snickered, Perhaps fashions are changing. But even at that Seattle was not prepared for the sight that met its eyes, any- ene could sce that, { the afternoon crowds got an eyeful, and the traf-; i “It” was a woman, wearing a black derby hat, a cute little monocle and calmly puffing a big “White Owl,” apparently blissfully unaware of the pop-eyed stares of the populace, Women have made great strides in the last few years. Equal suffrage and equal rights are old stuff now, but Seattle is a bit too tame for such strides as this. Ladies, have a. heart! We don't mind the derby hat, or the monocie, but the cigar is a bit too speedy, even for the Seattle Spirit! ‘ After getting an eyeful, the re porter didn't have breath to ask ae | lady ber name, ALLIED GOODS The Blacklisting of Products Is Now and Thin io dispatches, BY MILTON BRONNER LEIPSIC, June 17.—“Kauft keine ‘buy po enemy That sign I saw forthe first time in a big Hamburg shop. I thought t first it Was probably @ leftover from the early days of the war. “Feindbund” literally translated means “alliance of enemies.” Henee it might bo translated “allied.” I soon learned, that the placard was not a relic of the old war, it wad the sign of a new war. German business men are appeal ing to German people to stand by them in a trade war which they say has been forced upon them by the allies’ action in putting up customs barriers on the Rhine and fixing a big tax on all German exports, Hamburg at once started a coun: ter-war. Figures showed that Ger- mans were buying large quantities of French wines, perfumes and toi let articles and various English products, especially cigarets, PATRIOTIC BOYCOTT PUT INTO EFFECT So Hamburg conceived the idea of a patriotic boycott. The cham- ber of commerce, the hotel men's |association and other organizations took up the matter, They adver- tised the idea in the. newspapers. They scattered handbiils. They got up little stickers. They put pla cards on all drays and delivery wagons, They stuck cards ip the show windows. The result? I went to a number of restaurants and hotels and asked for French wines, The waiter pointed to the wine list on which in red ink there was printed: Ve sell no enemy goods.” The women took up the fight. One of them wrote a newspaper that in 1920 Germans consumed 88 million marks’ worth of imported preserves, 40 millions of perfumes and soaps and 390 millions of liquors and wines. She appealed to the German women, (Turn to Page 4, Column 5) City Dads to Gallop in Footrace Classic Councilmanic circles were agog Friday over the proposed footrace between Councilmen Lou Cohen and R.
