Suicide cases fill our papers and physicians, The stage is all set for the battle. for the heavyweight championship between Jack Dempsey, thepresent title holder, and Tom Gibbons, which is to be held at Shelby, Mont., July 4. It was not believed that Gibbons would be the man picked to meet the champion, but there came the offer of such a big purse that Dempsey and his manager, Jack Kearns, could not very well pass it up. Jack will receive $300,000 for his bout with of which has Gibbons, been placed in his hands already. The rest will come later. Dempsey has not been seen in action since he battered Georges into submission at Jersey in rounds. This bout took four City place July 2, 1921. Despite his long period of inactivity, the titleholder is reported in superb shape. Before leaving for Chicago to sign articles for the Shelby battle, Jack Kearns, Dempseys manager, announced that the champion could be prepared for a bout in defense of his title within Admirers of a period of a month. the champion, appreciating that perfect condition is characteristic with Dempsey, are confident the titleholder will have plenty of time in which to prepare himself for the skirmish with Gibbons. They are confident, too, that Dempsey will dispose of Gibbons without extra difficulty. The majority assert that the champion will have as easy a time with Gibbons as he had with Carpentier. A minority .regard Gibbons as capable of making things interesting for Dempsey while the St. Paul boxer survives usually without attracting the slightest serious attention. We need instant action. The most trivial causes, according to the report, operated in leading people to the last resort of the desperate. A. girl ended her life because she became depressed after bobbing her hair, a man because he was forced to quit playing golf. A woman killed herself after missing two trains, a man because he feared the end of the world was at hand, another because of a row over a cat. A designer was driven to suicide tryfor ing to guess the spring styles bewomen. One felt driven to it cause he didnt want to face another winter. Another killed himself for the fun of it, and still another ended her life just to get a new thrill. This is sufficiently bad, but, continues, the report, as it is quoted in the press: The suicide of children is a matter particularly distressing, and a most serious problem, to be carefully considered. In 1919 we reported 477 In 1920 there were child suicides. 707. In 1921 the number had increased to 858. In 1922 there were over 900, or nearly 3,000 in four years. The average age of boy suicides is sixteen, girls fifteen. Most girls use poison; the boys inuse a four gun. When five school-girl- s days commit suicide it is time the public asked the reason why. The conclusion reached probably will be that they were temperamentally disordered, or home conditions were intolerable, or that the school system was at fault. All three are the chief causes for child suicide. Child marriage is another serious cause. In 1920 there were 1600 boys and .12,000 girls fifteen years of age in the United States listed as married, and nearly 500 of them were recorded as widowed or divorced. The married boys of sixteen numbered 3,222. Those of seventeen numbered 7,690, those of eighteen 24,644. Girls who hatl married at sixteen numbered 41,6 20, at sevteen 90,930, and those at eighteen 186,-64Many of these children, soon after marriage find that they have made a great mistake in their choice, and quarrel, separate, get divorced supply many of our suicides as well as homicides.

Nakamura was dismissed. Prohibition enforcement agents entered the Nakamura home and seized a quantity of mash, according to their testimony on the witness stand before Judge Miller. They said that they smelled the mash and saw the distillatoin apparatus through a window. Judge Miller sustained a motion of counsel for the defense to suppress the evidence and dismiss the case because there was no search warrant. He commented in making the ruing: Sometimes the law doesn't work out in individual cases as perhaps in th is case. It may delay justice sometimes, but on general principles it does work out.
