Dn, Snow, much agitated, announced that he would pay a reward of $200 for theé\gapture of the murderer, and di- rected the students to begin an immedi- &te search for “a tall, heavity bullt man of dark complexidn,”’ which was the de- scription given to the dean by Sheldon. punctuated with faint but oft-repeated Warnings: “Don't go down there, doctor—don’: go down.

He alighted in front of the university build- ings and disappeared in the direction of the path leading to the library. He was tall and dark, and — a for- eigner. The examination of Sheldon by Dr, «| Van Etten, was followed by:the opinion that the young man was probably mor- tally wounded, and that the only hope was to have him removed immediately to a hospital for an operation. Through some means, which the dear of the uni- versity was unwilling to 4@jsclose, the big touring car of Miss Helen Gould was whirled up to the house. Sheldon was placed in the Fordham Hospital ambulance, and the would -auto, carry- ing Mrs. Snow and two women friends, followed to the hospital. Police Say It Is Suicide.

Sheldon came from Lockport, N. Y., to New York with his parents five years ago, when he was 19 years old. His father had been unfortunate in business. but wanted to have his son educated, and he and his wife become the care- tekers of Dr, Snow's house during the summer. Young Sheldon was working his way through college. One of the students saw him Monday night clean- ing a revolver like the one with which he was killed. Miss Helen Gould was deeply interest- ed in Sheidon’s progress, as she was in a dozen other students who had shown an ambition to excel.

CROWDED CARS COLLIDE TWICE ON A CROSSING! One Hits Other in Center, Rebounds and Smashes Again Into Platform. }

In a collision between crowded carr of the Bellefontaine and Spring lines ot the United Railways Co. at Eleventh and. Carr streets at the going-to-work hour Thursday, Michael Sobel of 2045 Dayton street was seriously burt. Miss Grace Winkier of 2609 Spring av- enue was hurled from the Spring car, but when picked up she insisted that she was not hurt. Other passengers, some of them wom- en, were also injured, but not seriously enough to be taken to the dispensary. Both cars were,on the way downtown and were filled with department store and office employes. The Pellefontaine car was going,south and the wpring car, which had the right of way, was going east. 5 Motorman Didna’t Slow Down, Eyewitnesses say that William Smith, motorman of the Bellefontaine car, did not check up at the corner, and it ap- peared that he and Motorman George A. Lake of the Spring. car were racing for the crossing. The Bellefontaino car struck the Spring car amidships. Then seemingly in re- sponse to the reverse lever it rebounded, but it lunged forward again and struck the other car’a second time near the rear platform. The Spring car was huried from the track at the second impact. Sobel, who was on the back platform of the Spring car, was thrown off. He was treated by Dr. F. H. Morse of 1190 Madison street, Who was a passenger on the Bellefontaine car. RUUSEVELT WILL TRY 10 BAG TWO Walle RAINUCER ae of f African Trip Are Wanted by British and U.S. Museums.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2% =President’ Roosevelt will make a special effort in his African hunting trip to secure two white rhinoceri, almost the scarcest ani- mal in all Africa, The National Museum in Washington is especially anxious for one of these, and if the President gets another speci- men he will give it to the British Mu- seum. The President will not end his journey until he has killed two elephants. The advice recently given him that he will get no elephants on the route he has decided to take has caused him to de- termine to go as far into’ the interior of Africa as is necessary to get ele- phants. , The white rhinoceri will be found, if at all, on the headwaters of the Nile, which the President will. strike after leaving Lake Victoria, Nyanza. The President today discussed with Maj. Edgar A. Mearns, who will accom- pany him, some of the details of the trip, and especially whether to take from this country most of the ammuni- tion to be used, It was decided that the bulk of the ammunition to be used will be bought in Nayrobi, located about two-thirds of the way from Mendasa, where hé will land, to Lake Wictoria;.

rt FLUSHING, L. 1. Dec. 4#.—Damaging testimony against Thornton Jenkins Hains in his trial for the murder of William E. Annis, was given today by Martin Skura,- the cabman who drove 4 with the Hains brothers from the rail- road station to the Bayside Yacht Club on the day of the tragedy. He testified that the *prothers engaged his cab, and that he left after the yacht club stage, but drove faster, and passed the stage. beer and let the stage go by, and I did ,” he added. ee DI you hear the defendant say some- thing when the stage went by?" “Yes; some one said, ‘We've got him now.’ "’ “Did the defendant or any one have any conversation with you while driv- ing to the club?’ “The defendant asked me if I knew Annis.”’ The cabman said he saw Mrs. Annis alight from the stage at the club.-The witness said the defendant and the other man left the cab at the club, and. the two men entered the club-house. Skurf said that about 10 minutes after the two men entered the club-house, they came out and went down te the dock. “Did the defendant tell you how far you were to drive behind the stage?” “The defendant said, ‘Keep behind the stage about 100 feet. Near the club grounds he told me to get as close to the stage as I could get. which I did.” Demands Arrest of Cabman, Under cross-examination, Skura, who is only 18 years old, admitted that he had signed a statement for Joseph Shay and Bugene Young, counsel for the defense, in which he said -there was no-conversation in the cab and MclIn- tyre asked the Court to commit Skure for perjury. District Attorney Darrin questioned Skura, who said that the false state- ment was made because he thought Shay and Young were. reporters, and he feared to get into trouble with Darrin if he.told the .truth. , Justice Crane refused to/ take any action and permitted the witness to go to lunch unattended. . : Defense to Begin Soon. | The lawyers for tne defendant expect to open the defense Saturday or Mon- day, and Joseph Shay will outline the case to the jury. It is.-not known how many witnesses will be called for the defense, but Mr. McIntyre and Mr. Shay are placing their main hope in the story that Thornton J. Hains will tell on the stand. “Thornton Hains’ recital,’’ said Mr. McIntyre, “will be clear and convinc- ing and will tear the State’s case to pieces. The defendant has no fear of the cross-examination of the prosecu- tion’s lawyers,’and after his testimony the shooting of Annis will be. seen in a different light.” Scandal May Come Out. After the introduction of the Ripley letter yesterday, Hains’ counsel will probably develop from Thornton Hains what he meant in his letter regarding Annis, and if this line of examination is allowed, the story of Capt. Peter C. Hains’ unfortunate marital trouble will come out. Here is the letter: “BAY RIDGE, N. Y., June 13, 1908, “Dear Mr. Ripley.—I think I owe it to you as a former patron to tell you that I now have your William Annis under a criminal charge. * * * Capt. Hains, my brother, has fully corroborated all the facts of this case by this time, and if it is of interest to you to know that you have a scoundrel in your employ, I take the liberty of telling you in this letter. If you wish any details you may refer to Tappan and Ben- nett of Wall street, or comé to me in person, and I will give you them. Capt. Hains will be here Monday night or Tuesday morning, and you can consult him in regard to this rascal who has ruined his home. These details will be at your 4dis- posal.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. IRVINE Ky., Dec:.24:—There was a tense moment during- the closing day of the Beach Hargis trial, When the feud question was injected, for the first and Lonly time. Tom Cardwell, Police Judge at Jack- to prove that the reputation of Judge James Hargis for violence was bad. He said he had not spoken to the Judge for ten years. He was asked why. “Well,” said Cardwell, “he was ac- cuse dof, and, I believe wag implicated in, the assassination of my brother-in- law, Dr. Cox, and my kinamen, Jim Cockerill and my friend, J. B. Mar- cum.’ Attorney Byrd asked\him if it was not true that his first serious falling out with Judge Hargis was on unt killed the Judge’s brother, John. He answered that it was. Attorney Young, for the defense, asked him if it Was an assassination, or a fair fight. He said the killing oc- curred on a train and-he supposed it was a fair fight. “But your brother was sent to the Penitentiary and Gov. Bradley pardoned him,” pursucd Mr. Byrd, alluding to **Yes,”” said the witness. Beach’s Grandmother Tells of Assault Judge Adams had been trying, in vain, to head off the fend question. He rapped for order and announced that he’ would exclude that line of testimony even though both sides were agreed on carrying it out. Mrs. Lourena Day, mother of Mrs. Lou Ellen Hargis, 82 years old, and so infirm that she had to be assisted to the witness: stand, gave a strongly dra- matic account of the attack made on Beach by his father, a week before the killing. She said: “Beach came home to supper. His father came in. He said: “What are you doing here? You have been dPink- ing again. You have got a pistol, ain’t you?’ ’ , Threatens Boy’s Life. “Beach pulled ck his coat and his father took his pistol. He Beach by the throat with his left hand, pointed the revolver at his head. “ll blow your ‘brains out,’ he sald. I cried, ‘Jim, don’t do that.’ He pushed me back. “*¥You get away from here,’ ‘or I will knock you down.’ ‘Just knock.’ “He got Beach down on the floor and beat him. There was a big pool of blood. Beach got up and went out on the porch. Jim jumped on him again and beat him there. Beach cried, ‘O, Ma, don’t let him kill me.’ ‘Next morning I went out on the porch and the floor was all bloody there.” Her voice broke and ‘she raised her hendkerchief to her eyes. She was Le cused without cross-examination. The argument began late Wednesday | afternoon and. was continued today. The jury is expected to bring in its ver- dict late Christmas eve. , Mrs. Lou Ellen Hargis said this morn- ing: “There is only one Christmas pres- ent that I want. That is the ilberty of my boy.’’ Closing arguments in the trial were made today, and the case is expected to go to the jury this afternoon. Mrs. Hargis says she expects an ac- quittal.

FORMER ST. LOUIS GIRL They Planned Secret Wed- ding, but—Dee-Da-Da!_ - Reporter Caught’’Em.

Artist George McManus, creator of the Newlyweds and of Panhandle Pete, and Miss Florence Bergere, the original of Mrs. Newlywed, are themselves the latest of the Christmas newlyweds. Their romance had its Funnyside. And the fun which’ Post-Dispatch readers have had from the pictures of the New- lyweds and Their Baby turns out to have had its romantic side. After being ‘‘Lovey” and “Sweety” and “Honeybugs” and ‘“‘Pudding Angel” tu each other for four years on paper, the originals of the Newlyweds began to apply the terms to each other . in earnest. They were married in New York City Wednesday afternoon. Posed for His Sketches. Miss Bergere, who is a native of St. Louis, commenced to pose for Mr. Mc- Manus’ sketches soon after the artist, a St. Louisan, went to New York to draw comic pictures for the New York World and the Post-Dispatch. Her high-heaped hair was the inspira- tion for the Mrs. Newlywed coiffure, which has been the envy of St. Louis young women for years. And her fea- tures became not only those of Mrz. Newlywed, but of every other young woman figure in a McManus sketch, If there was occasion to introduce a, dainty miss or a young matron into a Fanhandle Pete picture, it was always Mrs. Newlywed’s face and form that ap- peared. This was a frequent subject of comment for the artist’s iong-distance critics. Those near by came to know that McManus was drawing the only face in the world he thought worth pic- turing. It was the phtlosophi¢, though usually shabby and disreputable Panhandle Pete, who introduced McManus to the young woman who was to help hin’ 40 his greatest artistic success. Miss Ber- gere was playing in the original Pan- He Puts Responsibility for Trouble on Machine That . Was Contrary.

TOOK WRONG COURSE Kreider Says He Wanted to Go to Garage, but Landed in North St. Louis.

Edward C. Kreider sat so long in an automobile at Vernon and Walton ave- nues waiting for the owner of the ma- chine, L. G. Boyd, to return that he got tired of waiting, and concluded Boyd was not coming back. So he started to run the auto, a two- seated roadster,'to the garage, a few blocks south. - But ‘thére never was such a contrary machine. Instead of running to the garage, it turned right around, and ran and ran and ran in the other direction, and never stopped until a telegraph pole beside a North St. Louis railroad track stopped it. : That was the way Kreider to the story ‘Thursday in a cell at the New- stead Avenue Police Station, between frequent communings with the ice-water pitcher. Auto Was Abandoned. Kreider could not tell where he had left the auto. He knew only general directions. Boyd, who is proprietor of a Maplewood grocery, was out hunting the machine Thursday morning. He had an engagement to call at the Four Courts warrant office before noon, to tell the assistant prosecuting attorney what ought, in hig opinion, to be done to Kreider. Kreider was arrested at l1 p. m. Wednesday at’ his home, 4615 Delmar boulevard. ‘He told policemen he had been out riding with Boyd during the afternoon, and that Boyd had left him sitting in. the, machine at the Walton avenue corner. His remembrances were all of a hazy sort, but he was quite sure he had left the machine in North St. Louis, after a little mishap which almost cost some railroad company one of its telegraph poles, and that he took a Broadway car back downtown. Boyd told the police that he took the spark plug with him on leaving the machine, to keep Kreider from running it. off, and that he did not‘ understand how Kreider managed to start the ma- chine.

IMPROPER USE OF UNION LABEL Denies Charge, but. . Customers Convince Judge of Infrac- tion of Law. For imitating the union label, to the use of which his printing firm was not entitled, Edgar Romacker was fined $100 in the Court of Criminal Correction. His arraigned with him, was discharged by Judge Taylor. Officials of the International Typo- graphical Union of North America were in court Wednesday, and 8. 8S. Bass,

jJemployed by the union, acted as specia! counsel for the prosecution. Specimens of printing done by the Ro- mackers ‘in their shop at 130 South Broadway were introduced as evidence. In the lower left hand corner of the billa appeared a blurred symbol shaped like the union label. Close inspection showed that it bore no letters” The imprint of the firm appeared beside the symbol, as is the rule with firms ysing the genuine union label. The defense was that it was not in- tended to imitate the union label. This was overthrown by the testimony of customers who said they had asked titat the union label appear on their print- ing, and had even paid an extra price {for the use of the label.

Nearly every one of his series has sooner or later found a place upon the stage. “The Ready Mongy Ladies” was adapted by Nat Wills; the-idea compre- hended in “Cheerful Charley” was util. ized at the Victoria Roof Garden last year, and “Panhandle Pete” and the “Jolly Jolly Girls,” as well as Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed, were grouped in a play called “Panhandle Pete’’ and produced two years ago with success in New York and other Eastern c...e-. > 2.

BEATS MAN INTO INSENSIBILITY FOR ALLEGED INSULT TO SISTER Man Resents Use of Word “Way- ward” and Nurses Grudge for Two Years. SYRACUSE, N. Y., Dec. 4.—J. Frank Baumgardner, proprietor of a print shop, list night beat David Boyd, su- perintendent of the Syracuse braneh of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com- pany, into insensibility with the butt end of a whip such as is used by mule drivers. The cause of the attack, both men agree, was because Boyd, two years ago, asked Baumgardner if the latter’s sister was wayward. Miss Baumgard- ner died in Boston, and Boyd was fill- ing out an insurance report when the query was made. Boyd is a prominent Methodist, and is chaplain of the Central City Lodge, A. F. and A. M. He was on his way home from a lodge meeting When attacked. Baumgardner is locked up at police headquarters charged with assault in the second degree, and Boyd is still un- der the care of a physician. Baum- gardner will not talk, but Boyd says: “The word ‘wayward’ has always meant to me having one’s own way, dis- obedient or wilful, and I meant it in that sense when I asked the question. Mr. Baumgardner became very angry, and would give no more information In regard to his sister's death. The proofs of death were, I think, never com- pleted, but were sent to the headquar- ters office as I had taken them.”

Dr. Tanner, who twice fasted @ days, declares that bovine teeth harbor evil germs which pass into the milk, and thence into the babies, where they cut} up all kinds of capers. He therefore suggests that the teeth be brushed, pref- erably before bossy has had her break- fast.

If you are not a dinner guest or a working member of one of the various committees which have brought the en- terprise to its successful end, or have a ticket of invitation you cannot see the show Christmas afternoon. It As for the special delectation of the poor chil- dren. Of course, the regular perform- ance of the circus will take place at night, when anyone may see the show jin the regular manner and at the regu- lar price of admission. The free show given to the poor Christmas afternoon represents: a con- tribution to the cause by Mr. Royal and his dssotiates equivalent to $1000. That is going far in the way of a donation to a charitable entérprise, and it; is the first time it ever has Ween done. As a fittnge wind-up to a day of happi- ness for the 10,000 little children of the poor nothing could be -finer, Tlie clir- cus, like Christmas, is a children’s in- stitution, and it was a happy coinci- dence that Rhoda Royal’s big. circus should be in St. Louis at the time of the big dinner.

The associated clubs consists of the | following: Black, Feather, Narcissus, Sextette, Carlyle, Aberdetn, Norfolk, Dixie and Monarch, and the Christmas | #fternoon and evening programs. will contain special dances peculiar f° each of the clubs. There will be a big array of the most popular young ladies from the several! young ladies’ societies allied to. the clubs who will act as hostesses. | Tickets for the afternoon and even- ing balls may be obtained at Bollman Bros.’ store and at Trimp’s Hall.

In the automobile with Sheriff Nolte and his deputies will be Judge Virgil Rule of No. 9 and Judge Matt G. Rey- nolds of No. 4 of the Circuit Court, who will be present to see that Santa Claus does not escape on any technicality and to prevent him from bringing an in- junction to restrain Sheriff’ Nolte from keeping him in St. ‘houis over his hour. He will probably claim that he has been up all night oclmbing into and out of chimneys and is entitled to go home and rest. But the Sheriff is determined that the children at the Coliseum shall not be deprived of a sight of the merry old saint and is taking these precautions to prevent his absence. Santa Claus will leave the Post-Dis- patch building at 11 o'clock Christmas morning and will arrive at the Coliseum at 11:15, when he will lead a grand promenade around the arena so that all the children may see that he is there to lead the festivities. Otto. F. Karbe has guaranteed that it will be the real Santa Claus and that no substitution has been made, Dell E.

That the joyous Yuletide spirit is not confined to any one particular class, community or individuals, was forcibly demonstrated yesterday afternoon, wren a group of something like 200 employes of the Rhoda Royal circus, through a specially appointed committee, extended @ proposition to Mr. Royal, which for a féw moments caused that individual to wonder whether or not he was he-r- ing correctly, or whether the members | of his circus had suddenly taken leave | of their senses. Immediately following the close of the afternoon performance at the Coliseum yesterday afternoon, every performer and employe connected with the circus formed in line and marcheél to that sep- tion of the arena facing the main én- trance. - Every member of the party appeared to have something on:his or her mind, _ and when\a messenger ‘was sent for Mr. Royal and the owner ofthe circus has- tily appeared, the first thought to enter his mind was that his people ‘had come to notify him of either a -etrike or a demand for an ae 7 fee increase in salary. Royal Scents Trouble ; Stepping briskly into the arena, Mr. Royal. asked rather curtly what the] trouble was about, whereupon Miss Car- rie Rooney,. champion lady baréback rider of the world; Mme, Bedeni, the famous trick saddle rider; Migs Carrie Norrenburg, rider of the high school horse ‘.<athhouse John;'’.

Mr. Royal hastily uatied the ribbon, and for the next few seconds his his face was a study—then a broad smile over his features as he “Well, boys and girls, is @ surprise, and I am tion will be appreciated by in St. Louis.” Signed by Every The document which had : dered Mr. Royal was a petition sign by ‘every member of the circus that they be permitted to assiat in entertain- ing at the Post-Dispatch Fes- tival Association dinner to be glyen the poor children of St. Louls at the Coll- feum tomorrow. Aerial artists, dancers, sageters, tight- rope performers, bareback riders, clowns, musicians and even “a4 mel army of arena att , ing of the members of Wild Weat family, all ne their nam on the petition, and when it was dis- covered that Rhoda Royal also en heartily into the spirit ef the under- taking, every member of the show | clared they would go the absolute as happy as possible. ~ A second committee was then formed which is to confer with the ent ment of the Festival Asse at which time definite’ Eiemndanents will be made for the added aasistance offered by the circus emp All Will Wear Co The cowboys, cowgirls, oa many othe att y rs, vaing o ood

Baggot for Mayor, ; To the Editor of the ost-Dispatch. It is my wish, as well as that of a great many other St. Louisans, that the Democrats of this city would nominate Mr. William Baggot, a prominent real estate dealer of St. Louis, for Mayor. He has been a faithful citizen of this city for 40 years, and there is no one in St. Louis can say a word against him, unless it is that he had been a constant fighter against the ballot-box stuffers. He would make a clean Mayor, as well as a great one. Here's hoping that he may be our next Mayor. HONEST DEMOCRAT.

PITTSBURG AND ST. LOUIS. St. Louisans cannot fail to take a profound in- terest in the exposure of municipal corruption in Pittsburg, for one of its phases has to do with the establishment of free bridges. Pittsburg now includes the city of Allegheny, across the river, and toll bridges connect the two divisions of the town. It was a natural and laudable aspiration of the people to haye these structures free, but powerful selfish interests have thiis far been able to prevent action. 7 There as here it has been possible to create 9n active force favorable to monopoly and greed, and a proposition seemingly indisputable has encoun- tered opposition in the most unexpected places. Money, property and social position are never without political allies not all of whom are neces- sarily dishonest. A great wrong thus supported, however, almost always leads to corruption. . If many more delays appear in the St. Louls. free »ridge enterprise, the time must come when there willbe a closer scrutiny of motives than has yet been made. The disclosures now in prog- ress at Pittsburg will show how one monopoty maintained itself, and it may. be that! some light will be thrown upon conditions prevailing. else- where. = = i i ; ‘ A HOLIDAY SUGGESTION, Nothing thet a great corporation could do would be more in harmony with the spirit of this season of peace and good will than to announce a pur- pose to observe the law. : * -Pive years ago the city of St. Louis, in lieu of

Dirty Court Rooms. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I was called into the Court of Criminal Correction One day last week as a witness in a damage suit, and was horrified when I reached the door of said Court at the sight that met my eyed. Dirt, filth in abundances. Talk about pesthouses, that surely is one. The condition of the benches was awful. Of all the germ-breeding places in the city, that is one. It is a disgrace that a large city like this should allow the courtrooms to get in such a condition. There are plenty of idle men. Give them the chance to clean it at night, if no other time.

I worked for one of that kind, and my first check, which I took in payment of salary, came back, ‘‘not enough funds.” I investigated and found, through the courtesy of some friends who are employed in one of the banks in the city, that he had 65 cents on deposit. The check called for $3. This has been several months ago, and haven’t my money yet. I have found since that this ‘‘gentleman” has 40 judé- ments ging over his head.

MARY ANDERSON’S WISE CONTENTMENT. Mary Anderton, now Mrs. Antonio de Navarro of England, returning to New York to attend the ‘opening of the Maxine Elliott Theater, makes positive announcement of her maintained deter- mination never to act again. But she cherishes the tenderest memories of her stage life. “I wouldn’t have missed my career for the world,” she says. “It helped to broaden my life, and it made a better woman of me. It brought me in contact with some great men and women. I learned wisdom from them, and I took advantage of what they taught me. But now, I have every- thing I want—husband, home, children, friends— and I am content. I think it is better to have the question asked, “Are you ever going to return to the stage?’ than to have the people query, ‘Are you still acting?’ I have known that last to hap- pen—and it is heartbreaking.” Wisdom and a shrewd respect for Fate’s possi- bilities in the ironic line are in this utterance; al- so much of the sweet womanliness that made Mary Anderson the best-loved player of her day. She left the stage when her fame was at its flood tide. Her return after so many years lived in another atmosphere would almost inevitably mean disappointment to her friends and chagrin to herself. Her recollections of her cdreer are those of unbroken triumphs, and she loves the people with whom she was associated during that g’orious period. Happy woman—especially happy, in that sne is not tempted to imperil one of the most satisfying real-life pictn.es—herselt being would look after such cases they could certainly its central f:gure—ever presented in tue stage’s|-reatiy alleviate the sufferings of these animals, history.

As soon as the various civic bodies which stand for a million and other lo- cal ideals can get around to it, we must formally acknowledge the accession of Roger Bresnahan, We know that this is not usually done with baseball play- ers, but we believe that the organiza- tions which do the graces and take the advance steps for St. Louis will detect the unusual in this case when they read these ringing words: I wasn't a bit fussy about leaving New York.

I find the use of the check-rein upon horses has become so customary here that a great m&ny horse- owners are making use of it without knowing why, where and how to apply it, merely thoughtlessly aping a foolish fashion. A check-rein is in nearly. all cases nothing but a useless instrument of tor- ture, forcing the horse into an unnatural, painful, rigidly stiff position and, moreover tearing and rending its mouth sore. There may be some excuse for using it on a runaway, and also on a knee- sprung horse, but even then it is not necessary to draw it tight to the extreme. Whenever you see a patient horse abused with too tight a check-rein, you may be sure its driver is making up in atrocity or thoughtlessness what he is lacking in common sense. Another frequent occurrence you may behold every day is that depraved, degraded drivers apply the whip ruthlessly upon the most sensitive part, under and between the hind legs of the harrowed, helpless creature. Such a fellow, on account of his abom- inable cruelty, ought invariably to be made feel the whip himself. If the §. P. C. A. and the police Sterk: Thanks.

He never fought at less than 220, even when he was a youngster just entering the ring. When he began training for the last Corbett fight, Jeff weighed 272 pounds.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. %.—For- mer Champion of the World James J. Jeffries will re-enter the ring ‘‘if’’ Jack Johnson @efeats Tommy Burns for the heavyweight championrhip. This is the message coast fight fans got today. Asked what he would do if victorious Jack should come looking for trouble he replied: “If he comes around here and chal- lenges me “to fight him if ne wins from Burns, I'll grab him by the neck and throw him out. Interpreted by Mr. Jeffries himself, this means that his spirit rebels at the thought of a negro holding the heavy- weight championship and his revulsion at the idea is enough to overcome his repugnance to re-entering the ring. ‘However, the first chance at the win- ner of the Burns-Johnson go will be given to the winner of the Larry-Kauf- mann fight here Dec. 30. ' Battling Nelson, Sam Langford, Joe Gans and Tom Sharkey all are a unit that Johnson will be the winner. Here’ is what they say: Fitzsimmons—If Johnson is fit he will cut Burns to ribbons. think Jeffries could lick three men of Burns caliber. Nelson—Class will win the battle and Burns never compared with Johnson as a scientific pugilist and hard hitter. Langford—Johnson is a fighter and Burns is a bluffer and four-fbhusher. Jeffries—Burns is too small to have a chance with the big 1egro. Gans—Johnson will win by a knock- out in 15 rounds. Sharkey—The negro should win in ten rounds. Height, reach and_ science favor him, ABE-ATTELL PLANNING TO FIGHT OVER IN AUSTRALIA LOS ANGELES; Cal., Dec. 244.—Abe Attell, who has received severa) offers of bouts, will likely go to Australia in the near future, unless promoters at home offer him some better induce- ments. ° Jeffries has offered him a bout with Jem Driscoll, but it is said that Atteil is none too anxious to meet the little Briton. Instead, he plans a visit to Melbourne, where a purse has been hung up for a go between Abe and Johnny Sommers.

NEW YORK, Dec. %4.—Frank Bower: man, who is acting as manager of the Boston club, caused a slight ripple in local baseball circles today. He wired Manager McGraw of the Giants that he would like to trade Bill Dahien, Catcher Graham, Outfielder Bates and Pitcher Flaherty for Charles Hersog and ‘“‘Si’’ Seymour. McGraw’s reply to his former catcher was: ‘Nothing doing. I can’t enter- tain your proposition.” President Charley Ebbetts of the Brooklyn club is about the busiest man in baseball at the present time. What keeps him busy is contradicting reports coming from all parts of the country naming the future manager of the Hrooklyn team. Those who have been given the job by the “dealers in deals,” as Ebbetts puts it, are Bill Dahlen, Jack Dunny Joe McGinnity, Jimmy Ryan, Jimmy Sebring and “Peach Pie’ Jack O’Conner, who has recently been released by the St. Louis Americans. “I can only. repeat what I have sald since the National League meeting, ' said Ebbetts today, “that I have not signed a manager for the Prooklyn team and will not do so until Jan. 1.

Wednesday Dr. Taylor went to Belle- ville and obtained from the Circuit Court an injunction restraining the Mayor, the Chief of Police and all mem- bers of the Police Department from in- terfering with the work on the chapel and from declaring the old cemetery a park.
