MILLIONAIRES' SO Carpentier Makes Miserable Sh OUTCLASSED IN EVERY ROUND Frenchman Lands Famous Punch Only Once and Without Damage CRENA, MICHIGAN CITY, Dempsey Challenges Winner of Contest MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., May 31.—Riding into town with the thousands of fight fans today came a telegram from Jack Dempsey, challenging the winner of the Tom GibbonsGeorges Carpentier bout of ten rounds here this afternoon. The message was to Floyd Fitzsimons, original promoter of the bout, and expressed the champion's desire to fight the survivor under Fitzsimon's auspices some time this summer. The challenge was to be read from the ring, Fitzsimons said.

Gibbons won all by himself in the presence of 30,000 souls who voiced their disapproval of the Frenchman's back pedalling tactics shouting "oh, the bum" and "fight, you dog." Carpentier led many times with his right hand and landed just once. That came in the fourth round, following a lift to Gibbons' head. It was only flash of fighting from the Frenchman, thrue the actual fighting. MICHIGAN CITY May 31 — "Bring on the big fight," the crowd called as it felt the first few drops of rain. It was announced that the main event would be put on immediately. Garcia earned our vote without a dissenting murmur. Tom Gibbons was the first to enter the ring, clinching thru the ropes at 3:58 central standard time. Not more than two minutes later, Georges Carpentier stepped into the ring grinning. The gave the Frenchman a go-seeception, but it was hardly a faint echo of the ovation the Frenchman received at Jersey City when he stepped out to meet Dempsey. He raised his hands above his head and clasped them to show his good will, smiling right and left. He wore a gray bathrobe and a carefree expression. The first thing he did was to clutch Gibbons' hand and shake it like a pump handle. Tom was confidence itself smiling greetings to acquaintances. Deschamps rushed frantically from one side of the ring to the other, pointing and grinning. He wore his trick skull cap, giving him the appearance of a Far Eastern monk. He insisted on Gibbons removing the bandages from his hands pointing and shouting excitedly "no, no" when the American protested. Gibbons was then unwound, while the crowd shouted impatiently for the proceedings to begin. FULLERTON POLICEMAN SUES NEWS Climaxing what observers believed was a "feud" between the Fullerton News and the police department, George Annir, police officer, today filed suit in the superior court at Santa Ana for $36,000 damages against the newspaper, alleging slanger was committed when a story was published recently portraying the plaintiff as fleeing in terror from an frate citizen. Joe Carrizosa. The newspaper article was a "malicious attack aimed at discrediting him and based upon pure fabrication," Annir alleged in his complaint, which was directed against the News and its editor, Redge S. Smith. It was filed by Attorney James L. Allen of Santa Ana, and his associate James L. Davis. Attached to the complaint is a clipping of the article, published May 26, in which Officer Jake Deist was declared to have encountered Carrizosa, who was driving a car. An affray followed the paper recounted, in which Officer Deist was "flooded." Annir the press account in the News had it, was seen traveling the "other direction" down the street. A statement was issued subsequently by Arthur Eells, city marshal, branding the article as faise and made of "whole cloth." He even expressed doubt that Carrizosa even had told the reporter of the News the items listed in the News story. Eells declared Annir was not on duty at the time and was not present. There was no altercation between Deist and Carrizosa, Eells continued, and there certainly was no "flooring," he said. Deist merely cautioned here this afternoon. The message was to Floyd Fitzsimons, original promoter of the bout, and expressed the champion's desire to fight the survivor under Fitzsimon's auspices some time this summer. The challenge was to be read from the ring, Fitzsimons said. 4 MOTORS Nearly Fatal Accidents at Mexican Colony in North Anaheim Local police were today investigating the mystery surrounding the firing of four shots at passing cars near the little bridge on the state highway just west of the north end of Lemon-st. around 8 o'clock last night, each shot taking effect in the car aimed at, and in three instances narrowly missing the occupants. The shots came from the north side of the street, evidently from the vicinity of the Mexican settlement at that point. The cars shot at included three Pickwick stages and a Dodge sedan. The Pickwicks were 7:30 Santa Ana to Los Angeles stage, driven by Holly Schofield; the 8 o'clock Los Angeles to Santa Ana stage, driven by G. A. Smith, and the 8 o'clock Long Beach to Pomona stage, driven by Carroll Parks. The bullet struck the Schofield car at the door of the rear seat, piercing the plate-glass window, and missing a woman and child only a few inches. The woman had just moved from the door when the shot was fired, it is said. The bullet striking the Smith stage pierced the front seat door, missing the driver's legs by an uncomfortable narrow margin. The shot striking the Parks stage went low, piercing it underneath, and endangering the life of no one. The shots were reported to the Anaheim and Fullerton police. The Dodge sedan was driven by I. J. Sullivan of Los Angeles who had his wife and baby in the front seat with him. He was going towards Los Angeles, and had the right window on the front seat of his car open. The shot came thru the window, whizzed by his face and the face of his wife, and shattered the window on the other side. He reported affair to the Fullerton police. O. B. Baxter and Andy Wells, local police went to the scene of the shots immediately but found no one in the vicinity, so this morning local police were able to find a number of tracks, but no clue as to who made them. Wells and Baxter picked up Francisco Rayes, Mexican, who lived nearby on suspicion, but he was released this morning for lack of evidence. He disclaimed all knowledge of Tom was confidence itself smiling greetings to acquaintances. Deschamps rushed frantically from one side of the ring to the other, pointing and grinning. He wore his trick skull cap, giving him the appearance of a Far Eastern monk. He insisted on Gibbons removing the bandages from his hands pointing and shouting excitedly "no, no" when the American protested. Gibbons was then unwound, while the crowd ahdotted impartially for the proceedings to begin. Rain had been falling just prior to the entry of the principals, but was kind enough to stop. Deschamps again approached Gibbons' corner expressing a desire that the American use a special kind of bandage. There was no protest against Carpentier, whose bare hands rested at ease on the second-strand of the ropes as he waited in his corner. They finally came to an agreement on Gibbon' bandages and Tom had rewound his hands when Deschamps rushed over with a roll of the same kind of bandages that Carpentier was to use. Gibbons smiled and consented to use them. An announcer asked for a few moments to read some telegrams that he declared "must be read." (Continued on Page Eight) Fast Fight Service For Anaheim Fans The Plain Dealer as usual, for results! This afternoon the largest crowd of fight fans that ever listened to megaphoned returns of a fight were served, the results of the Carpentier-Gibbons match at Michigan City, Ind., by the Plain Dealer in front of Applebaum's Clothing Store on Center-st. The leased wire of the International News Service direct from the ringside to The Plain Dealer office enabled Anaheim sport lovers to receive the news as quickly as in any other city in the country. The Plain Dealer was the only paper in Anaheim to serve the returns. A statement was issued subsequently by Arthur Eells, city marshal, branding the article as false and made of "whole cloth." He even expressed doubt that Carrizosa even had told the reporter of the News the items listed in the News story. Eells declared Annin was not on duty at the time and was not present. There was no altercation between Deist and Carrizosa, Eells continued, and there certainly was no "flooring," he said. Deist merely cautioned the motorist and permitted him to continue his way, the chief declared he was informed. The News was "actuated by malice and unfair motives and with the intent of injuring the plaintiff and to deprise him of the confidence of the citizens of Orange-co. and the city of Fullerton, when it caused the story to be printed, the officer set forth in his allegations. He asks for $20,000 for asserted slander and $10,000 punitive damages. Also attached to the complaint was the copy of an asserted front-page editorial commenting upon the news story of the day before CHARGES HUSBAND IN BRUTAL ATTACK Showing marks of a terrific beating, Mrs. Carmen Sanchez of Stanton today appeared at the district attorney's office and swore to a complaint charging assault and battery against her husband, Candido Sanchez and his father, Troblio Sanchez, the latter a resident of Los Angeles. Mrs. Sanchez declared she was attacked yesterday and would have been killed, she asserted, had not her young daughter summoned help. Though Ray Valencia admittedly was shot above the leg by August Labourette, in an affray at Los Alamitos, Valencia himself will likely be arrested, not the man who wielded the gun. It was stated today by sheriff's officials. All because Valencia was al-leged to have been in a party of four, including Ralph Munos who attacked Labourette's father and others with their fists and bricks. Labourette, 20, escaped into his house, got a shot gun, and shot and felled Valencia, who was taken to the Los Angeles-co. hospital for treatment of wounds that likely will not prove serious.

L. T. 5; Colgate, 1-2. CAMBRIDGE, May 31.—Glen "Tiny" Hartranft of Stanford established a new intercollegiate record in the shot put, when he tossed the ball 49 feet five 7-8 inches. The previous record of 48 feet 10 3-4 inches was made by R. L. Beatty, Columbia, at Philadelphia, in 1912. Hartranft's new mark is also a collegiate record beating the 49 foot 3-4 inches made by R. M. Hills, Princeton, in 1913 in a dual meet. G. L. Hill, Penn., and S. G. Hartranft, Leland Stanford, were the only double winners. Hill won the 100 and 220 yard dashes and Hartranft the shot put and discus throw. Two new records were created at this meet when W. A. Comins of Yale, leaped 24 feet and 6 1-2 inches in the broad jump and when Hartranft tossed the shot 49 feet 5 7-8 inches. The failure of Kerr, the Stanford miller, to stand the pace and finish among the leaders ruined California's athletes' chances. POSTS MORE BAIL Benjamin S.

The kidnaping was planned last November in a spirit of adventure, they said, and young Franks just chanced to come along on the day, and at the time and place they had elected to abduct someone. He was killed almost at once, strangled after being rendered unconscious by a blow on the head with a chisel, and the letter demanding $10,000 ransom sent to his father. The confessions came at the close of a night of grilling when a chauffeur for the Leopold family casually gave information which completely shattered the carefully concocted alibi of the young suesia. Leopold is star student of the Univ. of Chicago, and Loeb, a son of Albert Loeb, millionaire vice president of Sears, Koebuck and Co. Thus is solved, according to the prosecutor, a mystery that for days has puzzied and tantalized the authorities, ever since the hude and battered body of young Franks, son of Jacob Franks, another millionaire and friend and neighbor of young Loeb, was found under a cuvert in a lonely part of the south end of the city. Each of the youths is 15 years old. Richard Loeb, one of the confessed slayers, collapsed today in a restaurant where detectives had taken him and Leopold, for a lunch. The detectives and the two youths had gone to the garage where the maroon colored death car was said to have been rented and later went to the restaurant. Young Loeb suddenly slumped to the floor unconscious. Efforts to revive him proved futile and officers drove him away in an automobile while Leopoid looked on in wide eyed astonishment. Loeb was on the verge of hysteria as he made his confession. Leopold, told that the game was up, cooly and calmly added his story of the atrocious affair. The car in which the youths lay in WASHINGTON, May 31—The sealer-Brookhart committee ordered Harry M. Daugherty, her attorney general, to appear Friday for examination.

CLEVELAND, May 31—William Montgomery Brown, bishop in the Protestant Episcopal Church was found guilty of the ancient crime of heresy today by an ecclesiastical court which for a week has been trying him for “errors of doctrine.” The conviction was obtained on a presentation of 23 counts. Bishop Brown at once served notice of an appeal to be taken to the court or review and this notice served to prevent the court from passing sentence this afternoon. Under canonical law there are but three sentences that can be imposed.

Fitted Ads Bring Good Results The ancient crime of heresy today by an ecclesiastical court which nor a week has been trying him for "errors of doctrine." The conviction was obtained on a presentment of 25 counts. Bishop Brown at once served notice of an appeal to be taken to the court or review and this notice served to prevent the court from passing sentence this afternoon. Under canonical law there are but three sentences that can be imposed. 1. To reprimand him for his offense. 2. To depose him from the house of bishops. 3. To figuratively strip him of his ecclesiastical standing by forbidding him to exercise any ecclesiastical privileges, such as marrying persons or ordaining of the candidates, etc. The verdict was expected and occasioned little surprise. Bishop Brown merely smiled as the verdict fell from the lips of the presiding Judge, Bishop John Gardner Murray of Maryland, and he bowed in common with his fellow churchmen in the prayer which closed the famous case. The formal verdict of the court simply said in part: "The accused is guilty of holding and teaching publicly and adversely doctrine contrary to that held by the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States of America." CLEVELAND, May 31 — Both defense and prosecution in the trial for heresy before an ecclesiastical court, rested their cases soon after court convened this morning and opposing counsels began their summing up. Before night the jury—eight black-robed bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church—will be considering the puzzling question of whether a minister of the church may retain ecclesiastical standing while believing in the essential spirit of Christianity, and at the same time rejecting belief in a conscious, personal God; rejecting the story of creation told in the Book of Genesis; rejecting all the miraculous stories of the Bible in a literal sense.

Young Loeb suddenly slumped to the floor unconscious. Efforts to revive him proved futile and officers drove him away in an automobile while Loeboid looked on in wide eyed astonishment. Loeb was on the verge of hysteria as he made his confession. Loebold, told that the same was up, cozy and calmly added his story of the atrocious affair. The car in which the youths lay in wait for a victim was one rented from an agency. Thru all the hunt for it, it had stood in the garage, its grim part in the crime unsuspected. It was seized by the police and today will be used as part of the setting while the two young murderers re-enact the crime. Loebold wrote the ransom letter to the boy's father. The portable machine upon which it was typed was found in his home. He had admitted owning such a machine, admitted that he very easily could have written the letter, but said he was too good a speller to have made the error of spelling kidnapping with two p's. He made his denial stick too, until that fateful moment when his father's chauffeur ruined his alibi. At the request of the authorities he sat down and printed the words which had been on the envelope which carried the ransom letter. He readily admitted a strikingly similarity in the formation of some of the letters, but said he knew nothing of the kidnapping, murder and demand for ransom. Today he calmly confessed that he had lettered the envelope and seemed amused that he had deceived anyone with his earlier denials. A delay of a few more days, he said, might have permitted him to escape. He had made reservations to sail from New York June 11 for Europe to spend several months. The clothing of their victim, he revealed, was burned in the basement of the Loeb home. The fathers of the two youths, dumb-founded when they were aroused from their beds early today to be told of the confessions, refused to credit them. Loebold's millionaire father has been an invalid for years. Loeb's father, one of the most prominent business men of (Continued on Page Two)
