TEN CENTS rrPi UVJL I Mill n( I r II U LTU U li Dempse y Knocks Out Carpentier Frenchman Beaten to Pulp by Rushes of Champion Floored Twice in Final Round. Blow to Jaw Wins Bout Manhasset, N. Y., July 2 Georges Carpentier broke his right thumb in two places and suffered bad wrist sprain in the second round of his fight with Jack Dempsey in Jersey City this afternoon. This was reported by Dr. Joseph Connolly of Glen Cover, N. Y who examined him at his training camp tonight "We noticed that there was some thing the matter with Georges' wrist when he came into ths dressing room after the fight," said Gus Wilson, Calender's trainer, "but he assured us there was nothing but a sprain. It began paining him on the journey nome. "Georges said he hurt the wrist in the second round when he hit Demo. sey on the jaw, but that he did not think he had broken it." By The Aaaoclatrd Prtt. - Ringside. Jersey City, N. J., July 2. Jack Dempsey is still heavy weight puigiistic champion of the world. A crushing right swing from the fist of the American fighter shattered the titular aspirations of Georges Carpentier in the fourth round of the so-called ' battle of the century" here this afternoon. The pile-driving blow landed flush upon the jaw of tne frenchman, flooring him for the second time in a trifle more than a mmute of fighting in the final de cisive round. Although he had staggered to his feet after the initial knockdown, he was unable to survive the second knockdown and was motionless -when Referee Harry Ertle tolled off the fatal 10 counts. Although the knockout punch was day-en to Carpentier' jaw, ,the way of blows which landed on every sec- iion ot tne cnanenger s body. Each swing, jab and uppercut, scored to thq stomach, ribs ahd sides, contrib uted to the sewing up process of the speeay carpentier. Blow on Neck Helps. In addition, a clubbing right which landed flush on the back of Georges' neck in the third round, played an important cart in his de feat. The Frenchman folded over in an attempt to protect his body, left the back of his neck exposed, ana uempsey, with the lair target in front of him, drove down a terrific slam to Carpentier' vertebrae. After the knockout the Frenchman stated in his dressing room that this punch was the cause of his pugilistic downfall. He said that the punch stung his entire physical and mental make-up and he was thereafter un- able to carry on any effective attack. Regardless of just which blow caused the vanquishing of Carpentier the Frenchman gave a remarkable exhibition of pugilistic skill and gameness against a heavier and more punishing opponent. The favorite, when he entered the ring, judgink from the amount df cheering he re ceived, he left the aren with even a ceived, he left the arena with even a in his cars; a tribute to an exhibition which in every way verified and up held' a record which had preceded him regarding his boxing ability and danger-defying work during the war. Dempsey True to Form. Dempsey as the winner ran true to his fighting form. Although Car pentier struck the first blow of the fight, a flying left to the face, Demp-. sey nevjr at any time backed up or showed a disinclination to avoid (trading blows with his opponent. While the champion bored in at every opportunity, he devoted as much of his attention as was pos sible to close infighting. Rights and lefts were steadily driven home to Carpentier's body, alternated at times by drives, jabs, hooks and cuffs to the Frenchman's face, jaw and head. For the first round Carpentier did not appear to feel the effects of this punishment He fought in and out at close quarters, using chiefly a right swing or drive to Dempsey's face and jaw with an occasion! shift of the left to the body. Most of the body blows Dempsey blocked or partly checked with el bows and forearms, but he was not able to protect his face as well. Time and again Georges shot over his right to Dempsey's face and in the second round when he turned loose the heaviest batteries of his blows, it appeared as though the champion might be forced to assume a defen sive attitude. The pause in Dempsey's attack, however, was due more to surprise and fluster at the savageness of his opponent's rally. After a few sec onds of indecision he gathered him self again, and although Jthe round was undoubtedly Carpentier's on ag gressiveness and clean blows landed, there was not the slightest evidence that Pempsey had been hurt by Car pentier's punches. Carp Forced to Ropes. . He shot out of his corner at the bell for the third round with every evidence of an intention to finish (Twa U Far Two, Col amis One) Antioch Potash Plant That Cost $500,000 Burned Catholic Church and Smaller Buildings Catch Fire From Flying Emhers Origin Undetermined. Alliance, Neb., July 2. (Special Telegram.) The town of Antioch, 18 miles east of here, will be without electric lights or power service in definitely as result of a fire which swept through the plant of the Ne braska Potash Works company Sat urday afternoon, destroying a large portion of the plant. The fire is reported to have been started by sparks from the engine of passenger train No. 44, eastbound, shortly after noon. No estimate of the loss was made, but it will reach a large figure. The plant was erected three years ago at an approximate cost of $500,000. ' All buildings were destroyed ex cept the engine and boiler room, which were saved by a fire wall. The plant had not been in operation for several months, except to furnish light and power to Antioch. Assistant Superintendent Tim Ma honey stated the plant might not re sume light and power service. Kero sene lamps are the only means of lighting the town. About 150 tons of potash in the storage room was partially destroyed. The Catholic church, two blocks away, caught fire either from the en gine or embers from the plant and was totally destroyed. Several smaller frame buildings also were destroyed. The plant was controlled by F. E. Stevens and J. D. Mallan of Denver. The Hoffland Potash company also held considerable stock. Insurance Agent J. W. Guthrie of Alliance, after inspecting the ruins, said insurance loss would not exceed $50,000. This is the second big fire at Antioch in three months. The American Potash company's $500,- 000 plant was destroyed by fire of similar origin with a loss of over $500,000 a short time ago. The plant was the first erected in the state. .

Plattsmouth, Neb., July 2. (Spe cial.) The heaviest rain storm of years visited this vicinity, three and a half inches of rain falling. Main street resembled a river and base ments of business houses were flood ed. Storm sewers proved wholly inadequate to carry the water and backed up into cellars over the lower section of the city. On some streets the mud washed down from the hills was piled as high as three feet. Pro tecting dykes surrounding the Bur lington shops were broken and dam age xeceeding $1,000 is estimated. A rapid tall in the Missouri river, coupled with the heavy rain caused the sweeping away of 5U0 feet of Missouri river bank rip rapping on the Iowa side. The Burlington had just completed the work when the lowering waters undermined the banks. Division Superintendent N Allen, who has been at the scene of the trouble for several days, im mediately sent a call for additional help to Plattsmouth. The Burling ton has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to protect the tracks, and today the swirling waters are nearer than ever to the main line leading east from the bridge over the river here. Flood waters have reached the high-water mark of last year's June rise, inundating hundreds ot acres of land north and east of.this city, but indications are no further rise will follow. The ball park is under water as well as the road leading to the Missouri river ferry. Mining Enginer Killed By Dynamite Explosion Oakland. Cal.. July 2. Harry E.

Railway Workers Agree to Accept Wage Reduction Little Danger of General Strike Men May Submit -Compromise Plan to Executives. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bn Ias,Wlre. Chicago, July 2. Danger of a gen" eral railway strike disappeared to night, following two days of con ferences between the heads of vari ous railway unions over the 12 pet cent cut recently announced by the United States railway labor board. However, while it was indicated that the 1,500 leaders now here would accept the wage reduction on behalf of 1,500,000 railway employes throughout the country, it will nor be an unqualified acceptance. The conferences will be continued over Sunday, thus giving the leaders an opportunity to listen to Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, who is now in Moose Heart, 111., and who will come to Chicago tonight. Reports seepine from the execu tive sessions being held by the rail way union heads, indicate that a compromise proposition will be sub mitted to the railway executives. The plan, it is understood, will be to abide by the order of the federal labor board temporarily, but to open new negotiations with individual railroads for better terms. This plan was reported after several lively tilts with the extreme radicals, par ticularly among the maintenance of way representatives. 1 he pay ot these men was slashed about 20 per cent and they were strong for an immediate strike. If the labor chiefs go ahead with their compromise plan, it will vir tually ignore the United States labor board. Members of the board an-. nounced that their decision lopping $400,000,000 from the pay rolls of the country's railways is final, as far as they are concerned. It is expected the vote of the fed erated shops crafts on the reduction will be' announced late tonight or. tomorrow.
