After that hour all persons traveling from Long Island City and Manhattan must pay an extra fare and change cars at Wood-side for points cast of that place, and No matter how large or how small motorists are never too much for the Traffic Court and its corps of motorcycle riders to handle. On a charge of speeding-, the tallest man in the world was arraigned before Magistrate Fish today. George Auger is eight feet four inches in height and is one of the freaks at the circus now under the bis tent in Brooklyn. Auger and the circus manager, Richard Cook, were riding in the bitter's car the other day on 4th when omcer Claude Smythe took up the trail.

The posting of forfeits and other details, Dcmpsey added, are being discussed in London by Jack Kearns, Dompsoy's manager, and Francois Descamps, manager of Carpeinier. Definite arrangements, however, arc awaiting the outcome of the Lewis-Carpentier fight. Dcmpsey asserted It was immaterial to him whether he met Willard before or after his second go with the French champion. "1 am also ready -4 meet Wills or any one else provided they mean business," said Dcmpsey.

"I hope something definite will come out of all these offers. All I want is a few months' training. I've seen Europe and had a line rest and am now anxious to get back to work. "1 should like to stay in Kurope a little longer but 1 must return and fulfill a theatrical engagement in the West and a motion picture contract in Xew York. I cannol afford to default on eilher of these.

I shall leave Paris for London Tuesday and shall probably sail for New York May 13." The champion said lie had not actually signed a contract for a fight at Michigan City, under the auspices of the American Legion, but declared he would always be glad to do anything he could for the Irf-gion op' for Iiis old friend, Floyd Fitzsimmons. who was trying to promote bojing in his arena at Michigan City. Dcmpsey characterized as pure nonsense the reports linking his name with an actress who has been much in tlie public eye of late. He also denied recent reports that he was going to marry a French girl. "All reports about that," he said, "are pure bunk.

As 1 have already told you, my heart is in America where it is held tightly by an American girl. I'm afraid my girl in America will be jealous if she reads all these yarns about my going around with French girls, and will make me do some tall explaining when I get home." 13 1 KM ny proji or wrrc already under way vith Mi-.

The inquiry into the affairs of the agricultural school will be confined solely to the disposition made of Federal vocational education funds. This Is being done al the request of Col.

Forbes, director of Ihe Fedora! Veterans' Bureau. The criticism was that the investigation of tlie school last February was a "whitewash" lor which Air. Zimmer was responsible. The Governor pointed out that the Deputy Controller had nothing to do witli the February investigation, although it was under tlie supervision of Controller James A. Wendell.

It was a routine auditing of the school's finances rather than an investigation, and was conducted by Charles l. Johnson, one of the Slate Controller's auditing staff.
