I have trained faithfully and if defeated tonight, I will have no excuse. My ambition is to defeat Firpo in a convincing fashion and then to get a match with Jack Dempsey, whom I think I can defeat without doubt and win back the championship." Firpo: "I am in the best condition of my life. This is the first time I have trained seriously for a fight in my life. I will give the public my best." That a good big man can beat a good little man is the accepted public theory. But whether a good big man endowed with skill and priceless experience can beat an equally good big man, with youth and strength in his favor, will be put to a test tonight when Jess Willard, former heavyweight champion, clashes with Luis Firpo, the meteoric South American, in a 12-round no decision bout at Jersey City. The winner has been promised a title bout with Jack Dempsey. The Broadway gentry have made Firpo an eight to five favorite. It is possible Firpo may even be a longer favorite as there was a preponderance of money to be bet on him this morning with little Willard currency showing. Jimmy De Forest, Firpo's trainer, said he has schooled his charge in his only apparent weakness—a left hand. Jack McAuliffe II of Detroit will meet Floyd Johnson in the semi-final. McAuliffe was knocked out by Firpo and Johnson by Willard at the recent milk fund show. Seldom has any bout arranged in which no championship is at stake, aroused such an interest as the feature bout tonight. The show is a sell-out, it was announced today, with an advance sale of more than $500,000. BABE HITS ANOTHER CHICAGO, July 12.

Staff Correspondent) CHICAGO, July 12.—Dollar wheat means ruin for thousands of farmers all over the United States." In these words O. E. Bradfute, president of the American Farm Federation Bureau, today epitomized the situation facing the great army of approximately three million wheat farmers in the grain belts following a drop of 10c a bushel on wheat in the past two weeks. "Continuance of wheat at the dollar a bushel mark means nothing short of bankruptcy for the thousands of farmers who are dependent on the price they get for their wheat for a livelihood," said Mr. Bradfute. He declared that the loss to the farmer in revenue from what based on a crop of $000,000 bushels has been approximately $8,000,000 during the past two weeks when wheat dropped from $1.10 to its present level of $1 a bushel."

Clayton L. Peck, "marrying justice." The pastor issued today a copyright map which guides eloping couples from the railroad station to the license bureau and thence to his study. Judge Griffin started it all by kissing the brides free of charge. Then Rev. Peck issued free rules for the pursuit of wedded happiness. The "Marrying Justice" came back with a plan for "spotting" the elopers on their arrival in Redwood City. Now that Rev. Peck has checkmated him again, Redwood City awaits with interest the next move of Judge Griffin. CITRUSHOUSES TARGET OF FIREBUG Blazes Indicate Plot to Burn All Fullerton Packing Plants Notable Divine Confirms Large Episcopal Class St. Michael's Episcopal Church was filled last night, when Rt. Rev. W. B. Stevens, D. D., Bishop Coadjutor of the diocese of Los Angeles, confirmed the largest class in the history of the parish—10 adults and seven young people. After the service and reception which followed, the Bishop visited the home of an injured candidate and confirmed him and his wife. "Let Patience Have Its Perfect Work." This was the title of the Bishop's sermon. Patience, he said, meant steadfastness. The Bishop showed how progress was due to the steadfastness of certain groups of people to their convictions. In spite of the chaos which it was said appeared to be threatened at times, the steadfastness of these people who possessed convictions was saving the day. Applying the idea of steadfastness to the religious life, Bishop Stevens said it meant regular church worship and attendance. The Bishop pointed to John B. Gough, the English temperance leader, as an example of a man who, after being down and out, became one of the world's greatest reformers. Another example of steadfastness, he said, was John A. Staunton, who was recently awarded a medal by Columbia University, for his achievements in human engineering. Staunton, who afterward became a priest of the Episcopal church, went among the head hunters of the Philippine Islands, started a sawmill—after waiting four years for the parts to arrive at Manila and be carted over two mountain ranges—and finally established a large community with schools, a printing press, a newspaper, stone church with a capacity of 1000 persons, etc. The church is used on week days as well as Sundays. A full choir led the singing of favorite hymns, appropriate to the occasion, in which the congregation joined. F. B. Padilla, a Mexican, arrested by the Fullerton police early this morning as a suspect in the incendary fires lighted in Anaheim and Fullertol, was identified today by P. J. Bagnell of the Gentile Packing Co. of Anaheim as the man whom he saw come from under the Gentile Co. packing house Tuesday afternoon. Padilla has not been definitely identified as the man who lighted the fires, but company officials believe he is the guilty man. Police have not had an opportunity to closely question the suspect, but he is held until such time as they can. Finger prints are being taken at the scene of the fire traps, and comparisons are to be made with the fingerprints of Padilla. Incentary fires, lighted in six places, kept the Fullerton firemen on the jump yesterday afternoon and last night, the first one being lighted about 1:40 p.m. and the last one about 9:30 o'clock. Firemen and police regard these fires as the result of a widespread plot to burn up all the packing hours in Fullerton, and taken in the light of the two incendiary fires lighted in the Anaheim industrial district on Tuesday night present a mystery not easily solved. Two attempts were made to burn the packing house of the Placentia Orange Growers' Ass'n on East Commonwealth ave, the first attempt being made at 1:45 o'clock, and the second attempt about 6:45 o'clock. One attempt was also made to start a fire in the Americanization school of the Placentia Orange Growers' Ass'n. An attempt was made about (Continued on Page 8) RADICALS SING ON WAY TO S.

A full choir led the singing of favorite hymns, appropriate to the occasion, in which the congregation joined. The visit was the first the bishop has made in about a year. The reception in the parish house which followed the service was entirely informal, the bishop merely shaking hands with the audience. The Bishop spoke highly of the rector and prophesized great progress for the parish under his leadership. Speaking to the class of newly confirmed, he said he would depend upon their steadfastness. The Woman's Guild provided coffee and cakes. POPCORN STAND POPPED BY AUTO The popcorn stand of G., W. Foster at the corner of Amerige-ave and Spadra-rd was run into yesterday afternoon by a car driven by Mrs. M. L. Kinney of Placentia. Mrs. Kinney told the police that she was trying to avoid striking a woman, and ran into the peanut stand as the alternative. The peanut stand was not badly damaged, it is said.
