Great Falls, Mont, July 3.— All is in readiness for the battle tomorrow. Both fighters declare themselves thoroughly hit. The fight opens at 3 o’clock, Mountain time. Dempsey does not under-estimate the ability of Gibbons and will fight from the start, while the latter . says this is an opportunity which he will not let pass. Shelby, Monfi, July 3—Eddie Kane, manager of T( nmy Gibbons, express¬ ed gratificatid .1 today when he learn¬ ed the fight would be held. He said: “Tommy Gibbons will be the hap¬ piest man in the United States when I tell him that he is going to meet the champion after all. I had to tell him yesterday that there was some doubt about it.” 4 • “I think Kearns did a sporting thing in agreeing to go through with it,” Kane added. Takes “Gambling” Chance This statement, Which he had in¬ tended giving out upon the calling off of the bout, follows, in part: “The failure of the Dempsey-Gib bons fight at Shelby is due, purely and simply, to the inability of the promoters to meet a business obliga¬ tion. I did not seek the contract which they are unablA to carry out. In fact, it was virtually forced upon me - * “I did ... , not accept their offer. They followed me via airplane from Salt Lake City to Chicago and back again to Shelby and finally to Chicago. In the meantime, I had an offer for the Jack Dempsey-Gibbons fight from Tex Rickard and another from Tom O’Rourke, both better than the Shel¬ by proposition. I emphatically stated to lTns 7 Loy hat”l J. had*these Molumby and Mike 7 Taske«f| Col offers to cancel the Shelby proposition as I did not think they would be able to live up to their obligations. “From the outset they have never been frank with me. I have been as much in the dark as any stranger as to the actual conditions. I have been up against the same misrepresenta¬ tion of facts as have the press and public. “When the second $100,000 was due and it was plain that trouble was being experienced in meeting it, I gave the promoters a second chance to call off the show, before involving themselves any deeper. I told them the first $ 110,000 was in the bank, had not been spent, and would be -held, pending my success in mak¬ ing arrangements elsewhere for the match. “They still insisted that everything was all right, and I believed them. “When the date for the payment of the second installment: came and they had no money at all, I gave them an additional day, though I was not required to do so by the terms of my contract. “After nearly twenty-four hours’ delay, I finally had to give them $2, 000 of my own money to make the $ 100,000 payment possible.” “Some will ask why I didn’t accent the $ 210,000 advanced me to go through the fight. Affairs are Chaotic “In the first place, I am avised that things are in an extremely cha¬ otic condition at Shelby; there is but $4,000 in the box office. The promot¬ ers cannot pay the referee, the pre¬ liminary fighters and incidental ex¬ penses. In addition, men who reeeiv ed tickets in return for subscriptions to the original $ 110,000 are selling them at cut prices. “Police protection is entirely inad¬ equate. angle does not “While the Gibbons enter into my side of the situation, there is no question but what Gib¬ bons and Kane have been led to be¬ lieve they would derive anywhere from $110,000 to $175,000 as their end of a basis of a gate return that good management would have pro¬ duced.

BRUNSWICKTOADD BUREAU CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION CONFERENCE BETWEEN CITY MANAGER RINKL1FF, CHIEFS REGISTER AND SLAUGHTER The first steps for adding a bureau of criminal identification to the Brunswick police department were arranged for last night at a. confer¬ ence between City Manager George L. Ri^kliff, /Chief of Police Register and City'"Manage! Alsistar.ft,Chief Slaughter. iRinkliff after the conference explained that no order hgd been issued by him directing that me bureau .he installed, and that he did not believe it would be necessary to issue an order to this effect, or to designate anyone- to take the special course of training and study neces¬ sary to qualify as the criminal iden¬ tification officer. “In the course of a conversation with Chief Register Monday morning, I incidentally referred to the matter, and told him that I should be glad to go into the matter with him at any time,” said City Manager Rink liff. “The next time the matter was spoken of it was on the initiative of Chief Register and Assistant Chief StiWgh'Wrg'UTid they’’ both, assured me that and the officers of the depart¬ ment were anxious to have the sys¬ tem installed at as early a date as possible. “It is naturally highly gratifying to find the department so interested in improving the service, and to know that the members of the department want to do everything possible to make it rank as high as possible in police work. “Under the plan that will be adopt¬ ed in the department, we shall rapid¬ ly and at small expense accumulate means of definitely identifying a large percentage of the criminal ele¬ ment of the country. As the depart¬ ment has been situated, it has been seriously handicapped in dealing with strangers, who have broken the law here. All the man under arrest had to do was to keep his mouth shut and he could completely baffle the lo¬ cal police in their efforts to deter¬ mine, whether or not ae had a crimi¬ nal record. “The total cost of establishment of the bureau will be less than a hundred dollars, for this year. Next year we will have to invest about fif¬ ty dollars, and after that, the cost of the bureau will be not more than twenty dollars per year. Consider ing what the community will obtain j in return in improved police methods, the expense will be very small. “‘Chief Register and Assistant Chief Slaughter will be the first mem¬ bers of the department to familiarize themselves with the operations of the system. After that, any of the men wishing to learn how it is done will receive their istructions. “The finger print system will be installed this year, and next year, photographic methods. By the first of August we will already have ac¬ curate and definite means of identi¬ fying a hundred professional croaks who have made a practice of drift¬ ing from one community to another, and the records will be increased by that number every month thereaf¬ ter.” HOLIDAY HOURS AT POSTOFFICE TODAY Holiday hours will be observed at the post office today, the Fourth. There wilf be no deliveries by the city carriers, the money order and regis¬ try division will be closed for the day.
