; GOVERNMENT
AT OMSK HAS
GOLD RESERVE
OMSK, June 5 (by mail).—The
Omsk government has turned out its
pockets, speaking figuratively, to con
vince any skeptics there might be
among allied representatives present
in the capital that it is not without
gold reserve to back . its currency
issues.
Fifty members of allied diplomatic
and military missions filed through the
vaults of the state bank, on invitation
by the ministry of foreign relations,
and viewed the precious metal stacked
ceiling high in boxes and sacks.
There was represented in coin and
bullion a total of 651,532,117 rubles,
computed at standard rates before the
^ ruble became the uncertain measure
it is today, according lo figures fur
nished by the treasury comptroller.
An interesting feature of the exhi
bition was hundreds of gold and sil
ver gift plates, trophies, dinner sets,
statuettes, candelabra, ikons, running
into hundreds of thousands of dollars
in value, representing loot which the
Bolsheviki had assembled in Kazan
and Samara, and which was removed
for safekeeping when the Czechs cap
tured those cities a year ago. A large
part of this collection represents per
sonal property of the bourgeoisie,
which can easily be identified by right
ful owners when peace is restored.
MEEHAN OF FRISCO
WANTS TO ARRANGE
GO WITH DEMPSEY
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30 (by As
sociated Press).—Followers of pugi
lism here are interested in the ef
forts being made by certain local pro
moters to arrange a bout,between the
world’s champion heavyweight boxer,
Jack Dempsey, and William Meehan,
a local product, in view of the fact
that the California laws prohibit any
boxing matches except between ama
teurs for medals or cups.
The last time these two men met
in the ring Meehan was awarded the
decision in a four-round bout which
was staged for the benefit of one of
the war funds, the principals being
awarded silver cups for their perform
ance. As four rounds is the limit al
lowed by law, it is hardly expected
that Dempsey is likely to be willing
to risk his title for the sake of a
“medal” in such a short fight. Even
should he be willing to engage in a
“no-decision” affair, ring followers are
wondering what sort of a “medal”
would have to be offered as an in
ducement.
The well-known “Westinghouse”
electric heaters are now for sale by
the Northwestern Hardware Co.

AUTOMOBILE GARAGE
THAT IS AN ODDITY
LOS ANGELES, July 30— A four
story garage, from any story of which
entrance and exit is directly on the
street, is one of the architectural
landscape oddities of “automobile
row” in Los Angeles. The explana
tion is simple—the garage is built on
a hillside.
