Omaha, July 2 Mr. Victor
Rosewater, Editor of The Bee
Dear Sir: The following para
graphs are quoted from The
Omaha Sunday Bee of June 29,
last, under the caption, "Bootleg-7
gers expect to continue V their V
'trade' in spite of wartime dry
act."
"DdKng the last four weeks
thousands of gallons of whisky
have been brought to this city. It
- is estimated that never before in'
- the history of Omaha have such
great stores of liquor been con
. veyed here. Persons who are in
i close touch with the situation de-
, ,.v clare that not even when licensed
saloons were running full blast
was there as much whisky stored
. in Omaha as there is today." .
" 'We never did have much fear
of the Omaha police said one
( man who came into thje-city from
"". Missouri yesterday with his car
loaded down with 36 cases of
whisky. 'I have always figured
that I would get caught with
about one load out of 25, and
would charge it off to profit and
loss. I have been caught just
twice, "Snd was fined once.' "
"With the great amount of
whisky now stored in Omaha,
' -which is being augmented hourly
iday and night, it is estimated the
supply will meet the demand for
the next six months."
- - "Omaha bootleggers say they
will continue in their occupation,
excepting to contend with the law,
as they have done in the past; ex
' V pecting to pay for protection
V when compelled to do so by offi
cers of the law, as has been their
practice heretofore, and expecting
to pay a fine when they meet an
honest enforcer of the statutes,
A which sometimes is the case."
In the interest of law enforce
ment, will you kindly "assist the
police department by giving us
the names . of the reporters who
have the information upon which
- this article is basedso that we
ran call on them and get full data
for the purpose of prosecution of
those who are violating the law?
Everyone, except the criminal,
is interested in seeing that the
laws are vigorously enforced, and
we ask that you co-operate with
us in the way herein suggested.

PUGILISTIC
PRINCIPALS
T
Jess Willard and Jack Demp
sey, Both Said to Be in Top
Notch Trim, to Decide Heavy
weight Championship Today.
FIGHT EXPECTED TO BE
GREATEST EVER STAGED
Queensbury Rules; One Min
ute Rest Periods; Ollie Re
cord, Referee; Two fudges;
Twelve Rounds; Even Bets.
Toledo, July 3. (By the Associ-'
ated Press.) With the world's
heavyweight pugilistic championship
at stake, Champion Jess Willard
and Challenger Jack Dempsey will
box 12 rounds at Bay View park, on
the banks of the Maumee river here,
July 4, in what is expected to be
the greatest event of its kind ever
staged.-
Eclipsing all previous records in
this direction, Promoter Rickard
had guaranteed $100,000 to Willard,
win, lose or draw, and $27,500 to
Dempsey under the same conditions,
while the -profits from the moving
pictures will be divided into thirds.
An arena to seat 80,000 spectators
has been erected at a cost of $150,
000 and if the gate receipts are up
to expectations, more than $1,000,000
will pass through the hands of the
promoter. Seven per cent will go
to local authorities, 10 per cent to
the government in the form of a war
tax, while scores of other -expense
details will cut heavily into the
huge sum.
The giant boxers agreed to box
under the Marquis of Queensbury"
rules, with the kidney punch land
the side hand chop blow or rabbit
punch barred. There will be one
minute rest periods between rounds
and a referee and two judges to
pass on the pugilistic merits of the
contenders in case both men are on
their feet at the close of the 12th
round.
Referee's Decision Final
In case of a knockout, the action
of the referee in counting out the
fallen boxer will close the bout. If
the judges disagree after 12 founds
of boxing the referee will cast the
deciding vote. He will 'also be re
quired to secure confirmation of at
least one judge before disqualifying
a principal for fouling or other vio
lation of the rules.
Although Dempsey will wear
especially constructed five-ounce
gloves, Willard's will weigh nearer
six ounces, due to the size of his
hands. There will be no more pad
ding in his gloves, however, than
in those of the challenger.
The contest, will be fought in a
20-foot square ring and each boxer
will De allowed a seconas in ms

sistant Attorney General Fieson

Specific instructions were sent to

law had been reported, to act at once
to have the courts decide whether

-Retain His Title;
-"111 Win"-Dempsey
Toledo, July 3. In statements
prepared for the Associated
Press, Willard and Dempsey
gave their views on their contest.
Champion Jess Willard said:
"From the day I signed the
contract to defend the champion
ship it has been my one idea to
enter the ring in condition to
give my best efforts to the pub
lic and titular honors, which I
am fortunate enough to hold.
"I have trained with this in
mind for a period of more jthan
three months to the best of ray
ability, and intend to give every
ounce of strength and degree of
skill that I possess to the defense
of the championship. I know
hat some followers, of boxing do
not agree with my system of
training, but I am convinced I
know myself and my condition
ing requirements. I believe that
I am in perfect shape and confi
dent that I shall successfully de
fend the championship. If it
should prove that I am wrong I
shall stand up like a man and
admit the superior boxing ability
of my opponent without quibble,
excuse or alibi. Beyond that I
feel -that events must speak for
themselves." w
Challenger Jack Dempsey fore
cast his victory in the following
words:
"Six weeks of consistent train
ing has made me fit for the big
event of my life. In all my
career I never felt better than I
do right now and I am as certain
of victory as man cn be. The
bigness of Willard does not both
er me. I like the big ones. Carl
Morris and Fred Fulton were
not dwarfs and I put both of
them away, doing the trick every
time in less than one round. No
man in the world can withstand
the attack I will wage when I
enter the ring with Willard. My
youth, strength and natural fight
ing ability will prove more than
an offset to the extra poundage
of the champion.
"That I have real confidence
in my ability to take the title
away from Willard is to be be
lieved. I have never yet met a
man I feared. They all look
alike to me and unless Willard
is. the superman claimed by his
supporters, I will knock him out
in a hurry". I would not be sur
prised to listhim along -with
Fulton, Morris and the other
one-rounders. He may get by
the first, but if he does he is only
framing a lot f trouble for him
self. I'm sure ready to go to
hira. I hope it is a good battle,
no matter how short it is. Take
it fronf me, though, you are talk
ing to the winner."

London, July 3. William Ho

emperor, will be brought to Eng
land in a British ship and impris
oned in the Tower of London, ac
cording to the Daily Mail.
The death penalty, will not be
sought, the newspaper points out,
but if he is found guilty the allies
ask his banishment for life to a
remote island, following the pre
cedent of Napoleon's exile on St.
Helena.
The international trial court had
intended to try the former em
peror alone, the Daily Mail says,
but it is possible that the former
crown prince Frederick -William
will also be arraigned before it.
London, July 3. (By the Asso

George delivered in the House of
Commons Thursday afternoon an
explanation of the peace treaty,
which he described as "the most
momentous document to which the
British empire ever affixed its seal."
Speaks With Fervor.
Though showing-he effects of
his long labors at Paris and lacking
his usual fire, the premier at Jimes
made impassioned utterances- and
was loudly cheered. His announce
ment that the former German em
peror would soon be placed on trial
before a tribunal sitting in London
was cheered most of all, while his
presentation . of the Anglo-French
convention, providing for British
aid if Germany should attack France
unprovoked a convention analo

States and France was greeted
with unrestrairied approval.
The scene recalled some of the
great speeches of the War. All the
seats were taken and every inch of
standing room was pre-empted. The
Prince of Wales, the American am

Thomas Nelson Page, the Japanese
and Italian ambassadors and many
other noted persons were in the dis
