I from guards seeking to take him to

j a statement made yesterday by

"I want to be operated on and lead
the life God intended me to lead," is
the statement Gardner made to her,
Mrs. McColl said.
"Gardner is a wonderful specimen
of manhood," Mrs. McColl contin

thought to be caused by a deflection
of the cranium, and it is possible
that surgical care will eliminate it.
He is to be X-rayed and the physi

Senator Smoot of Utah, said there

Chicago Police
Capture Biggest
Still in Country
Apparatus Cost $25,000 to
Construct Will Have to
Tear Down Building to
Remove It.
Chicago, July 1. Police and fed
eral agents last night found a still
which they herald as the greatest in
America. It will take dynamite and
the tearing down of the building to
confiscate it.
An alarm of fire brought about the
discovery. One of the great boiling
vats had become overheated. A
pedestrian saw smoke, and, though
he saved the building, he destroyed
a business that eventually might have
netted millions of dollars.
Little Fire Damage.
The fire did little damage. The
damage was done by federal agents,
who were called by the police. JLhey
destroyed about $75,000 worth of
wines, grain alcohol, mash and fin
ished "moonshine" by a judicious
mixture of ashes, dirt, coal and what
ever was handy.
The vats were in the basement
vats 14 by 18 feet by 6 feet deep
and pipes ran through the house.
John Lyons, custodian of the fed
eral warehouse where confiscated
liquors are kept, said it was impossi
bh for him to do more than spoil
the stuff.
Owner Is Not Found.
"We'll have to get a wrecking crew
to tear the building apart to con
fiscate all this apparatus," he said.
"And it will be necessary to dynamite
the vats."
The police say the moonshine is
the variety that has been selling at
$20 a gallon. There was a fortune
of it ready to sell, besides 36 barrels
of mash and grain alcohol.
Lieut. Luke Garrick went all
through "little Sicily" trying to find
the owners of the still, which must
have cost $25,000 to erect, he says.
Mexican Petroleum
Hits Lowest Mark
Focal Point of Spectacular
Stock Raid Drops
To 96.
New York, July 1. Shares of the
Mexican Petroleum company, focal
point of the recent spectacular move
ment on the stock exchange were
again under pressure today and
dropped to a new low point of 96 in
the first hour's trading.
The stock, which closed yesterday
at 101, was offerad freely after the
opening at 101 1-2, and quickly fell
below yesterday's low mark of 98.
At 96 it showed a loss from the high
for the week of 22 1-4. It was a de
cline within two months from
167 1-4- The record high price is
264, made October 22, 1919.
The decline is attributed by Ed
ward L. Doheny, president of the
corporation, largely to circular let
ters sent out by W. C. Moore, who
was arrested yesterday after his in
dictment on a charge of criminally
libeling Mr. Doheny. The indict
ment charged that Mr. Moore dis
tributed in stock market letters of
which he is the publisher, statements
calculated to depress Mexican Pe
troleum stocks. Mr. Moore pleaded
not guilty and was held for trial.
Bodies of 1 18 Unknown
Persons Laid to Last
Rest in Potters Field
. Chicago, July 1. One hundred
and eighteen bodies of men and
women, unclaimed by relatives and
forgotten by. friends, were buried
Tuesday in the Potters field. This
was the accumulation of three months
at the county morgue. The bodies
are held for that period in the hope
someone will put in a claim.
During the three months a mul
titude of persons had passed among
the glass cases. Now and tUen a
body would be recognized and taken
away, but for the 118 there were no
claimants.
Doubtless some of those put
awav carried with them secrets that
would cause sensations in other cities.
Missing persons who will always be
"missing," probably went into pau
pers' graves under assumed names
or not identified by any name what
ever. Half of Farm Owners

Manhassct, N. Y., July 1. Only
light exercise was on the work pro
gram of Georges Carpentier today
and to keep his mind off tomorrow's
battle Trainer . Wilson prescribed
phonograph music, a walk through
the woods and a long automobile
ride. The camp was besieged by an
army of last minute well-wishers, but
they met stout resistance at the gate
in a squad of county policemen -and
camp attaches and were turned away.
This of all days, Trainer Wilson
said, was to be a day of peace for
the challenger and he was not to be
bothered even by personal friends.
All members of the camp were
busy getting things in order for the
morrow, with only a slight display
of nervousness in the entire camp.
This was on the part of Manager
Descamps, who appeared to be up
in the air" because of a number of
telephone calls. He said there had
been no less than 75 up to noon and
that he had been asked all the fool
ish questions imaginable.
Will Retain Camp.
Some fellow who said he was going
to bet on Carpentier wanted to talk
to the challenger himself and ask his
advice. A woman thought Descamps
rude because he refused an invitation
for the challenger to attend an ice
cream social tonight.
Although he declined to say what
plans had been made for after the
fight, Descamps intimated that the
camp here would be retained.
Trainer Wilson will be placed in
charge and will condition Charles
Ledoux, the French bantamweight
champion, and Paul Journee, the big
French heavyweight. It is also prob
able that Marcel Denys, the French
lightweight, will train here under the
supervision of Wilson. Should

New York Eagerly Awaits
Gong for Fight of Century
New York, July 1. -New York
hotels were crowded to overflowing
today and in the lobbies, dining
rooms or hallways there was a buzz
of conversation in which the word
"Dempsey and Carpentier" predom
inated. JFully 5,000 out of town folks
registered yesterday who announced
their intention of seeing the cham
pionship bout and some 20,000 were
expected to flow in today from every
corner of the continent.
Every hotel last night announced
it could care for no, more guests
Most of the large hostelries plan to
install cots in corridors, on the
roofs and in other places not often
slept in.
The crowd attending the bout, the
largest in history of the sport, will
be the most orderly, police promised
today. .
Elaborate preparations have been
made by Jersey City police and the
"way of the transgressor" promises
to be made hazardous by nearly 2,000
policemen and detectives inside and
outside of the arena.
Most novel in the plan to prevent
confusion will be the establishment
of a "dead line" extending approxi
mately four blocks on all sides of the
arpna. Blue coats stationed at in
tervals of a few vards on this boun
dary will bar admittance to all per
sons who do not possess iicKeis or
other proper credentials.
