Everyone was rushed from the vicinity of the building and the speaker remained behind until sev- eral minutes after the crowd had vanished. ‘Two Cathollo priests, In the army uniforms they had worn as chap- jains during the world war, were foremost among those to object to the speaker delivering his address Their appearance on thelr feet was the signal for the general furore. Many hooted the priests for their interference. “Others maligned the klan and the mayor for permitting the meeting to be held in the mu- nicipal building. Intense feeling was aroused tn the city when {t was learned the meeting was to be held. Scathing criticism of Mayor Stapleton was forthcoming from many prominent People and organizations, including & severe attack from Governor Sweet, who declared the Kian waa meliher needed nor wanted in Den-| ver.

Like a bomb in a plenic party, thousands of yotces broke forth in one of the wildest demonstrations ever witnessed in Denver, and at this juncture Col. Means was compelled to call police to quell the disturbance and dis- band the thaeatening assemblage, Some fears for the safety of Miner were at first expressed, but rio vio- lence was started and the thousands melted- into the thorofares of the elty without further ado. ‘ HERE’S MORE ABOUT SHELBY STARTS ON PAGE 1 and many criticize Gibons for not having heavier sparring partners. Others give Gibbons a fine chance on the ground that Dempsey, for natural reasons, cannot be as good as he was four years ago or two yeara AKO. Shelby was deep in mud again to- day after a heavy rain, and the pro- moters of two rival rodeos in town were lending voice to the dirge of the tight promoters. . Says Fight Looks Like “Flat Tire” GREAT FALLS, Mont. June 28,—The Dempsey-Gibbons July 4 fight transaction looks like a “hopeless flat tire,’ John O'Neill, one of the most liberal of Great Falls contributors to Dempsey'’s purse, declared here today. He predicted that the promo- tion would go down as the great- est fiasco of the kind that ever occurred, O'Neill made these statements after conferrin with Dan Tracy, who yes- terday resigned the directorate of the show, following a conference in Shel- by. Dempsey must continue per- functory training until next Tues- day, when the final installment falis due, but O'Neil admitted that there is only the remotest outside chance that the champion will ever be called upon to raise a hand against Gib- bons for his $200,000 already received and banked outside of the state of Montana. Dempsey lacks the sparkling en- usiasm in his training for the fight with Gibbons that character- ized his work at Atlantic City be- fore his bout with Carpentier. Dempsty's skin shows many wlemishes, decidedly noticeable on a man who in his previous expositions 4o close publtc serutiny showed leathery tan and fieckless skin. Yesterday Dempsey sparred with the little fellows, going two four. minute rounds with Billy Wells, English welterweight; Lee Moore, featherweight, and Connle Curry, bantamweight.

The secretary of the interior is of the opinion that if an Indian can lease his land for more money to an alien, then that Indian should take the alien’s bid rather than that of a citizen of the United States, Barnett declares. Protection of the Indian, rather than protection of federal lands, {s the secretary's stand. Because of the decision, Thomas N. Swale, local attorney and chair- man of the National Oriental com- mittee of the American Legion, an- nounced, Thursday morning, that an effort would be made to combat the ruling on legal grounds if possible. SENTIMENT STILL STRONG IN YAKIMA “Because the Indian lands are un- der federal jurisdiction, and, there. fore, are not subject to the laws of the state of Washington, we must renew our old fight all over again. Sentiment is strong in Yakima against the Japanese and if public opinion has anything to do with it, ‘we'll get a reversal in a few months,” said Swale. Don M. Carr, government Indian agent on the Yakima reservation, has announced that he has received no copy of the order as yet, but expects to by next week. betting even money that there will be no fight. “1 think the fight will go thru,” was the only reply Dempsey made to the question of his intentions with regard to the third payment ot $100,000 due him. To the same question Jack Kearns, his manager, replied: “I'm not crossing any bridges be. fore I come to them so I can't give my plan for after July 2 if payment fails, but I don’t look for it to fall.” He intimated that final decision was up to Dempsey as to whether he wanted to risk hig crown for 100,000 less than the contract calls tor.
