KEARNS SAYS JACK
WILL BE IN PINK
GREAT FALLS, Mont., May 26.—If Jack Kearns is an authority on condition, then those who labor under the belief that Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, has been hurt by his long layoff, may now rest assured that the champion will be in the pink July 4 when he meets Tommy Gibbons the challenger.
"Don't wonder at Dempsey resting next week. He could lay off from now until July 1 and be ready in three days training, so perfect is his condition," said Kearns as he boarded a train here this morning for Salt Lake to attend to business in connection with the large coal holdings he and Dempsey are interested in.
Kearns stated that should Dempsey win the bout with Gibbons the Great Falls offer for a match with Harry Wills, negro heavyweight, would get the first consideration.

BOOTLEGGERS CREDIT
LOS ANGELES, May 26.—A new system of "credit" in paying bootlegger's fines was inaugurated today by Superior Judge Shank.

Lub Armenti, who pleaded guilty to violation of the Wright act, was one of the first to be bined under the new system. He was fined $500, with $100 payable immediately and the remainder suspended during good behavior and abstention from bootlegging. Should the court's ruling Armenti will be forced to pay the remaining $400 plus a possible additional fine.

MAY ARREST MANY LIQUOR SMUGGLERS
NORFOLK, Va., May 26—With three under arrest at a hotel, federal prohibition agents are expecting to make more arrests in New York and other cities in connection with a gigantic international conspiracy to smuggle liquor into the United States.
Norfolk at present is the center of interest, a part of a cargo of 75,000 cases of liquor aboard four runners having been smuggled through the coast guard.
These under arrest are William L. Burwell, alias William E. Baker, self-styled second in command of the Atlantic rum fleet.
It was Burnwell's business to act as shore representative of the allied smugglers and negotiate sales, according to the authorities. Burwell denied that 8,000 cases of whiskey had been landed at Virginia Beach and gone to Washington, officials state, declaring that only an occasional bottle or two had come ashore here through visitors aboard the rum ships.

E. Frank Garrison, Oakland; Seth BALDWIN FACING VIOLENT STRUGGLE
(By David M. Church)
(I. N. S. Staff Correspondent)
LONDON, May 26.—Faced with a violent struggle in the house of commons Monday over the Irish deportation indemnity bill, Premier Stanley Baldwin retired today to the country place at Chequers Court to prepare for the fray.
This measure was designed to protect against financial losses incurred through the illegal deportation of Irish Republican sympathizers from England to Ireland where they were arrested by the free state. It will be the government's first test.
Possibility of a second attack against the government over the Anglo-Russian dispute seems to have been averted by the conciliatory note delivered to Great Britain by Moncow this week.
Failure of Baldwin to induce Austen Chamberlain of Sir Robert Horne to enter the ministry was taken as an indication that the feud in the Tory ranks still exists.
WM. HART TELLS OF MEETING ACCUSER
(Copyright, 1928, by I. N. S.)
(Reproduction prohibited)
LOS ANGELES, May 28.—Breaking the silence he has maintained for thirty-six hours, William S. Hart declared he had only sympathy and sorrow for Miss Elizabeth MacCaulley of Boston, who has retracted her sensational charges that he was the father of her six-year-old boy.
Hart declared he first knew of Miss MacCaulley in 1916 when she wrote him "fan" mail and he was starring in films. Her letter addressed his attention, he said, because of her flawless English and led him to believe she must be a woman o' unusual intelligence, he said and he did answer them.
In December, 1916, I met her in person. When I returned from the studio one evening my sister told me the woman who had written me such fine letters from Boston was in Los Angeles and had called by telephone.

(By International News Service)
CHICAGO, May 26.—Expressing himself as confident that the nation at conference on valuation of Amex railroads was a move in the right direction and declaring that the conference would be productive of much good, William Jennings Bryan addressed the assembly here today, concluding the conference's two days sessions.
The "Great Commoner" was introduced by Senator La Follette of Wisconsin who said:
"He is one whom I could talk about all day."
"I am glad that Senator La Follette has been placed in charge," said Mr. Bryan.
"I know of no one who has done so much on the people's side of the question of the railroad problem as Senator La Follette."
"It has been my experience that the heart in politics as well as in religion, is the dominant factor. It's a poor head that cannot find a reason for doing what the heart wants."
The conference was called by Senator Robert M. La Follette, heading the progressive group in congress, and a protest against excessive railroad valuations, which would result, it was said, in reducing railroad rates $5,000,000,000 annually.
Bryan expressed himself as not desirous of seeing public ownership of the railroads but felt that it was inevitable.

ASSERT REDS PLAN TO SWEEP EUROPE
(By S. D. Weyer)
(BERLIN, May 26.) German newspapers declared today the red rising in the Ruhr is the opening gun in a deep laid Moscow plot for the Bolsheviks to sweep through Central Europe.
Three Russian communists, arrested at Dortmund, were serving as couriers.
Karl Radek, the cleverest and most cynical Soviet spokesman in Europe, is in Berlin.
"We will not accuse Lord Curzon (British foreign secretary) of having hired the assassin of Vaslav Vorovsky at Lausanne" said Radenk.
"We will not allege that the Lausanne murder was the beginning of a carefully plotted series of assassins of Soviet officials and envoys, but I will say: When we begin killing we will aim straight and the death toll of our enemies will be far greater than our own."

"In December, 1916, I met her in person. When I returned from the studio one evening my sister told me the woman who had written me such fine letters from Boston was in Los Angeles and had called by telephone. I suggested that she be invited out for dinner which my sister did.
"Only once did I see her alone, that was a night or two later when I took her to a local cafe to dinner.
As for his future plans, Hart said he had none at present but that he has a standing agreement with a local production company that when he does re-center pictures he will do so for them.
