Sheriff Harold J.

Brown of Santa Cruz county tonight was running down what he termed a "reliable report" that Alfonso de la lluerta rumored to have been executed by Mexican federalists was in Nogales, last night.

Scheduled to nresent its ease tn the parley today, the Arizona delegation begged leave to postpone presentation of its stand until Thursday afternoon.

This drew from W. B. Mathews, member of the California river commission, the charge that Arizona maliciously was delaying progress in order to study the of California's position, delivered by Charles L. Childers. attorney for the Imperial vaney irrigation district, this morning.

Sudden action on the motion of Ktate Senator Winsor. of Arizona, to grant his state additional time to prepare its answer, which was seconded by W. R. Wallace, of Utah, caused Governor Frank C. Lmerson.

of Wyoming, to object to the "railroading through" of motions without discussion. He criticized Governor George H. Dern, acting as chairman, for not allowing time for discussion before flues-tions were put to a rote. United States Senator Kev Pitt- nian's committee was expected to report at 10 a. m.

Thursdav, several hours before the Arizona statement relative to water division was to be presented. On the character of the report made by Pittman's commit tee was expected to rest the nature of the Arizona answer to the upper basin otter of conciliation. Presented with two concise questions by the spokesman for the Arizona delegations, the California over commission 'tonight was con sideling answers on the power is sue, to date an effective stumblln; block in the path of any comprom ise on the problem of water divi sion. The questions were: Were Nevada and California prepared to effect an agreement on the benefits to be derived from the development of hydro-electric power on the lower Colorado river; and, if no would they agree that there would be no power development in tho lower river pending the conclusion of an agreement on power Arizona thereby forced the power issue to the forefront of the problems besetting the parley, and demanded of California a concise statement of her position with re-card to power Arizona has contended repeatedly that Nevada and Arizona should receive compensation for Ihe use of their lands and water if the proposed boulder canyon dam were built on their soil, as outlined in the Swing- Johnson bill.

TUNNEY MEETS, CHALLENGER IN FIGHT TONIGHT Declared to Be Greatest Fight in History of Squared Arena LEGAL TROUBLES OVER Betting Steadily Drifting in Favor of the Flashy Ex-Champion By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Prese Sports Editor) CHICAGO. Sept.

21 W) With its last legal harriers cleared today and the city swarming with the greatest fight crowd of all time, the Dempsey-Tunney battle of dollars, open letters and mixed opinions moved toward its climax of actual fistic combat tomorrow night in Soldier Field's spectacular setting. Subjects of more debate than any other gladiators in all ring history. Gene Tunney and Jack Dempey will meet in their return battle for the heavyweight championship of the world before a colorful crowd that is expected to shatter all rec ords by numbering close to 150,000 and contributing to a "gate" of probably $2,750,000. Greatest Battle of Ring In its attraction of World-wide interest, In the firco and bitter character of its preliminary de-hates, in the size of the stakes Involved $1,450,000 for the two fight ers as well as the magnitude of tho promotion enterprises, the second chapter of the Dempsey-Tun ney feud far outstrips any sports event in history. So-called "Battles of the Century, within the past few years pale by comparison with the proportions of this unprece dented struggle for gold and ring glory.

It will pit Tunney, the soldier, masterful boxer and champion. against Donspsey, the plunging, per sonally magnetic slugger, badly beaten a year ago by his handsome foe, but now primed for the big act of the most sensational come-back drama the boxing game has ever known. Who will Win? The answer to that question, ear-erly sought and discussed every where by millions, debated at the cross roads as well as on Michigan avenue, Broadway, and the Rue de la Paix. will be known between 9:30 and p. tomorrow night Chicago daylight saving time, when the 10-round championship fight to a decision will hold the little square of limelight amid a cheering mass of fandom.

Dempsey Favorite In Betting So far as the strange contrasts of pro-battle speculation go, Dempsey will climb into the ring a probable favorite in the betting as well as with tlie support of popular sentiment, but Tunney will be the choice of a majority of the assembled army of experts. There are powerful under-cur-rents and cross-currents of suspicion and doubt, always a forerunner of big heavyweight fights, hut more pronounced here than ever lie-fore. There are sharp conflicts ol opinion everywhere but the general prospect is tnat, on its merits, the fight will be closely and senation-ally fought between a resourceful champion, fully confident of himself, and a reckless, punch-throwing challenger substantially improved over his dismal failure of last September, Tunney's supporters insist that the fighting machine that all but (Continued to Page 7, Column 1) QUEER PRIZES WON AT BISLEY SHOOTING LONDON.

Blinding headlights on automobiles are again an Issue In France. The practice of shutting off the lights when passing another car at night is said to be responsible for many accidents. Leaders in the driving world suggest It would be. safer to let the lights glare rather than drive in comparative darkness for two or three seconds. The law requires headlights to be so directed rts not to blind other drivers, but this has been found difficult.

One solution has been to direct the right light well to the rigot and to shut off the left light only When meeting other cars. Professor de Papersonne, of the Academy of Medicine, a noted expert on optics, says most people suffer a sort of blindness for several seconds when the brilliant headlights are shut off suddenly and during these seconds each car travels usually a dozen or more I I car lengths.

General Pablo Macias, the com-mandant, when confronted with the report of Alfonso's execution, rer iterated his previous denial ot the report and laughed at the rumor.
