NEW RUSE OF BOOTLEGGERS

If the obliging gentleman who sup

proposes tlint he put his automobile In
your name because he likes jou so much
and asks you, just as a matter of
form, to sign a paper showing thut
you are selling it to him on the in

?10.000 and two jenrs in jail.
Assistant United) States Attorney
Holger said today the bootleggers are
resorting to this method to save their
automobllese from seizure. If it Is rep
resented that an automobile docs not
belong to the bootlegger, nnd the owner
has not known that it was to be put
to nu illegnl use, it lies In the discre
tion of the court to return it to him.
The United States Attorney's office is
preparing to bring prosecutions for con
spiracy in such cases, the penalty for
which Js $10,000 fine and two years'
imprisonment.

Of the Evenlnir Tubllc Ledger Editorial Staff
Jersey City, July 2. More women
than ever before were gathered for a
nrlie fiiht anywhere, about 15i000
according to the most cautious guessers,
were packed Into tho front sections of
the big arena here today long before
Dcmpsey or Carpentler appeared for
their savage combat.
They were, for the most part, furious
rooters for the frenchman. About
$500,000 worth of summer millinery

nnrlr In tho Hnv the clouds lowered
ominously. Tex Itlckard bad made It
nlnin thnt thn flsht 'would nrocecd nnn
an umbrella-llkc canopy was ready to
be flung over the ring.
Hut there was no sign of concern
nmnnir tho fomtnlne snectntors. They
were clearly on edge and eager. Thoy
wanted to sec action. Old fighting men
nhnnk their hcails doubtfully. They
don't know what this new sign of the
times forbodes.
A lorgnette leveled suddenly at Jack
Kenrns made that hardy individual
jump. It was jeweled.
"Why," said a limpid voice audibly,
"he's not terrible looking at nil."
Pearl and Diamond Ladles
The feminine contingent was rep-
rosontntlve of the leisure set. Here
and there a man with two cheap tickets
fouirht n way forward into the far
hlpndirrs lrndine n woman, and Immor
ing her gently "to keep her hook on
hpr dlnmonds."
Hut most of the ladles who filled the
best seats didn't wear diamonds. They
were the sort who prefer pearls. Thnt
was tho significant thing.
Early this mornine there was an in
formal conference In which Mr. Jack
Kenrns, mentor, guide and manager of
Dempsey, confronted fight officials and
members of the Committee of Overseers
appointed by the New Jersey Boxing
UommlBslon ana spoke brictiy in a rasp-Inir-
voice. Hr huil had a hard day. a
harder night. An appalling weight of
worry was lifted from his snoumcrs
when his man got n genuinely friendly
reception in Jersey City.
"We," said a:-. Kenrns, "want one

violently toward heaven "and none of

upward "and none of this" he torn

silent nods of understanding and as
sent.
They got Mr. Kcarns. Tho sudden
pantomime was vividly reminiscent of
fouls charged against Carpentler in
