The Lcrepancv between the ticket sale to st and the amount he received was due to the fact that Kearns sold approxi matfiy 2.200 $20 tickets for $10 shortly hpfore the hour, as a crowd, apparently svertp to paying regular prices, surged «gainst the gate barriers and the fence surrounding the arena.

Tom Gibbons, defeated, but winner of moral victory nevertheless in the' eyes of Shelby, which celebrated hilariously last night will return to his St. Paul home with his wife and three small children tonight or early tomorrow. He was given a mighty ovation by the townspeople, with whom he has become immensely popular durlnng his training 'here. As he left the ring a war cap or Indian feathers wa spushed on his head and his seconds fought desperately to keep back shouting, congratulating fans as he was rushed to his quarters. His wife, awaiting his coming, greeted him with a kiss when he reached home. Last night he celebrated Independence day by shooting off firecrackers for the edification of his boys and greeting scores of friends who called to congrat ulate him on his showing against the champion. Offers No .Alibis Gibbons o"er»d no'alibis for his de feat, but declared he desired a return match with the champion, that he had tired under the strain imposed by the wrestling in fightlnng during the bout and that he was unable to rally when he sought to put over the knookout punch he desired. He was unmarked, except for a large, blue welt on one thigh which he said was caused by a blow which inflicted severe pain. Fans who have been bewailing the fact that the challenger probably would receive nothing for fighting the tcham I'inn, were hearted today by the fact that the motion picture rights in the fight. 25 per cent of which are owned by Gibbons, will net the promoters a considerable sum. Terms of the contract showed that Gibbons was to receive 50 per cent of the receipts above the champion's guar antee of $310,000. Inasmuch as the gate receipts were only slightly more than $200,000, he receives nothing from the promoters. Gibbons' trip to Montana was not en tirely barren of profit, however. . He received $5,000 from Shelby for training expenses, from $100 to $400 a day dur ing the three weeks of training in ad missions at bis training camp, and a tour of the stare immediately preceding the bout netted him $5,000. Gibbons has no regret over the finan cial end of the bout. He has. met the champion, the goal toward which he has struggle^ for the last three years, retained his record of never having knocked off his feet, and with the knowledge be has gained of D'empsey’s ftyle, lie is confident that the outcome '* tc'urn match would bs different 1 cm that nf y<*3tertlt!y..

Representative Hawes Tells Tammany America Is A Meddlesome Nation Says Habit of Trying to Regu late Everyone’s Conduct Be coming National Nuisance DEMOCRACY UNSAFE, MONARCHY NEARING NEW YORK, July 5.—“The United States is getting to be a meddlesome nation and the intolerant habit of try ing to regulate every one’s conduct is becoming a national nuisance,” Repre sentative Harry B. Hawes, Of St. Louis, declared in his address at Tammany Hall’s annual Fourth of July celebration, “During the war we proclaimed to the worhl that we would make the world safe for democracy,” he said. “Since the war we have been making democracy unsafe, even in our own country, and we are heading for a monarchy.” Taking for his text the assaults which, he said, were being made on the fundamentals of American democ racy, Mr. Hawes paid his respects to the Volstead act, the Ku Klux Klan and to “small but well organized minorities,” who, he declared, are as sailing the “essentials of a democratic government.” "In many cases, public officials are tehmaelves guilty of what might be termed official lawnesness in trying to carry out the- extreme wishes of or ganized minorities,’’ he saicU What we shall eat, what we shall wear, l what we shall read, how we shall work when and how we shall play and ho shall be permitted to be idle are at tempted to be controlled by statute law rather than by personal inclina tion. We are now engaged in the mischievous Occupation of trying to I regulate the habits of the rest of the j world.” Referring to the Ku Klux Klan the speaker said that “this organized minority group of intolerant*” is j “openly violating the constitution of the United tSates and that of every separate state.” Mr. Hawes opposed the proposal to take from the supreme court the power of judicial reviews of legislative enactment, declaring it would destroy the heart of the constitution an'dl leave j 110,000,000 people subject to the in therperate, hasty of arbitrary acts of the two remaining branches, of the government.” Many ,of the new laws are being written, Mr. Hawes said, by some de partment clerk. He urged a legisla tive “rest for the country." FOUR INJURED IN .
