RAEE7GH, Jan. 24.—The senate now

in no way connected to the garage
door below.
“Sec. 3. That the insurance commis
sioner is charged with the execution
of this law, and he or the chief of the

Dempsey’s Objective
Is a Bout With Wills
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—Jack Demp
sey's principal objective in his heavy
weight campaign this year is a bout
with Karry Willis, negro challenger.
Second choice is Jess Willard, who lost
the title to Dempsey three and a half
years ago at Toledo.
That was the way Jack Kearns, the
champion's manager, summarized his
plans today after his arrival for con
ferences with promoters which are ex
pected, to result in a definite program
for action for Dempsey next summer.
"The Wills’ match is what the public
wants most of all,” Kearns declared,
"and Dempsey is ready to sign for any
reasonable terms. I have had no bona
fide offer for a match with Wills, but
X am going tQgdnsist that it be given
first consideration.
“They say Willard is too old, that
Tom Gibbons and Harry Greb are too
light, and that Luis Firpo and Floyd
Johnson are not yet ripe for a cham
pionship match,” Kearns said. “But
we’re willing to fight any of them.
Willard is entitled to a return bout
and I think he would give the champion
a real battle, if he is in shape,”
Dempsey is ready to fight on short
notice during the indoor season, Kearns
added, or early in the spring.

Uses Part of Pig’s
Eye to Restore Sight
PATERSON, N. J., Jan. 24.—Dr. Ed
ward B. Morgan, who yesterday graft
ed portions of a pig’s eye to the eye
of Alfred Lemanowicz in an effort to
restore the 17-year-old boy's sight, to
day pronounced the operation a suc
cess. When the bandage was removed
young Lemanowicz declared he could
distinguish between light and dark
ness. The condition of the eye was
healthy, the doctor said. All hemor
rhage had stopped and there was no
fever.
It will be at least ten days, however,
before the bandage can be permanently
dispensed with, Dr. Morgan said.
I
GHAUNCEY HOLLEMAN
CITED FOR CONTEMPT
Warrant Served on Famous Lost
Witness by Sheriff Jackson
Yesterday Afternoon.
Chauncey B. Holleman, famous as
the lost witness in the Dallas case, will
face trial for contempt of court when
the case in which he appeared as the
main witness for th© state is com
pleted.
A warrant was served on Holleman
by Sheriff George C. Jackson yesterday
afternoon. *■
Holleman is cited to appear before
Judge Devin at the present term of
court to show cause why he should
not be adjudged in contempt for his
disappearance twice on the eve of the
, Dallas trial.
The order is signed by Judge 13. H.
| Cranmer, and is issued on the com
j plaint of Soliicitor Woodus Kellum.
Holleman’s repeated absence from
I the state when the Dallas case was
! called in superior court led to his ar
j rest in Charlotte after a chase that
| extended several thousand miles and
through half a dozen states, and ended
with his incarceration in the New
Hanover county jail, where he has
since been* held.
His evidence against Dallas produc
ed nothing startling and his character
was assailed by the defense imme
diately after his testimony was con
cluded.

SWAMP-ROOT FOR
KIDNEY AILMENTS
There is only one medicine that really
stands out pre-eminent as a medicine
for curable ailments of the kidneys,
liver and bladder.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root stands the
highest for the reason that it has prov

thousands upon thousands of distress

game is attracting no little interest in
Brigade circles and the youngsters from
I all the' companies will witness the

large delegation present to see the
game also.
It will be recalled that the Brigade

two teams met in Fremont a few w'eeks

over the Yankees and the Cardinals,
trimmed the Tigers 16 to 11.
The first game, between the Dodgers
and Yankees, the former won by the
close score of 16 to 15, in a well played
game. Both teams played airtight ball,
the passing of both teams being fine.

Dodgers made four foul shots to the
Yankees’ three. Copel and Cox led in
scoring for the losing Yankees, while
Yopp and G. Morton scored the most for
the Dodgers.

NO NEED TO
FEAR BALDNESS:
Tells How to Make Hair Grow
Strong, Thick and
Lustrous.
Thousands of men and women are !
growing hairless every day. This Is
needless because baldness usually
comes from neglect and anyone who
gives the ecalp a Little attention should
always have an abundance of good
looking, healthy hair. Dandruff and \
dirt cause baldness by clogging the j
pores in the scalp, and giving the
dandruff germs fertile ground for pro
lific breeding.
The treatment is very simple; remove
the dirt by shampooing and destroy the
dandruff germs by applying the genuine
Parisian Sage, a most efficient antisep
tic liquid that druggists everywhere are
nowJj’ccommending as one of the quick
est and safest treatments to surely I
stop itching scalp and falling hair, re
move all dandruff and to properly nour
ish and invigorate the hair roots.
Parisian Sage is in great demand by
discriminating women because it is
daintily perfumed, does, not color or
streak the hair and gives it a softness
and luster that fascinates and compels
admiration.—Adv. ‘ |
Cards, 16 to 11, in a fast game. Neither
side s.eemed to gain an advantage un
til the Cardinals, took a spurt during
the last few minutes of play. The
Tigers’ shooting was not as accurate
as the Cardinal quint. By their vic
tory last night the Cardinals are tied
for first place. Allen Burriss was the
star for the losing Tigers, he making
every point for his team. For the Car
dinal five H. Pinner starred, with nine
points.
