Dempsey Will Test Law Against Showing Of Fight Pictures Chicago TrlhoncOnmlis life Limed Wlrf . Chicago, Jan. 7. Jack Dempsey, world champion boxer, is the chief figure in a concerted move now under way to secure repeal of fed eral laws 'which forbid the trans portation of fight films from one state to another.' Dempsey has in structed his attorney, Ray J. Cannon of Milwaukee, to test the constitu tionality of the federal law. He has been advised that the statute would not endure a contest before the supreme court. There is a feeling that the law was passed chiefly to keep out of i this country pictures of Jack John son's fight in Cuba, which might tell a queer tale of how he lost the championship if the fans were per mitted to study the action of that event. It ; is proposed to begin at once the transportation and. exhibition of prizefight pictures. Arrests will follow and this will enable Dtmp sey to get the matter before the United States bupreme court. Legion Will Sponsor . Boxing in Missouri Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 7.
