NOT A WAR OF ARMIES” “Battles Merely Have biol Influence on Peoples, In- ducing Collapse.”’ AMSTERDAM, Dec. 3.——Gen, von Ludendorff, right-hand man of Field Marshal von Hindenburg, is guoted | by a correspondent of the Vienna Neue Freie Presse as making the pre- diction recently at German headquar- ters that the war would not end in a draw but be decided in favor of the central Powers. The correspondent, says the Viewna | dispatch, obtained this expression | from Von Ludendorff, in conversa- | tions with him during a visit to head- quarters where he also talked with Von Hindenburg. “It appears the Russians are the first to be inclined for peace, Gen. | von Ludendorff said. ‘I will not say that I regard the Bolsheviki mani- | tinued. ‘ There must be a secure | Government for this purpose, one which possesses power to enforce in- ternally and externally the results of the negotiations with us. Of course we can conclude an armistice with | Russia at any time as soon as we have the assurance that it will be maintained. A general armistice, | however, will be difficult to achieve.” ; Want Armistice to Be Brief. Gen. von Ludendorff expressed be- lief that a general armistice would interrupt submarine activity and al- low the entente to improve its posi- tions, while on the other hand no supplies would reach the central | Powers. Therefore he thought such | an armistice should be a brief one. | as otherwise the military situation | would suffer. 9 Gen. von Ludendorff considered the Russian revolution not a mere piece of lutk for the central Powers, but a natural resuk of the war oper- | ation a Modern war, said the General, “is a war of peoples, not of armies, | and a war ends now when an enemy people is defeated.

The correspondent says he gained the impression that Field Marshal von Hjpacndure and Gen. von Lu- dendofff desire a peace which will create conditions of security and sta- with it secure frontiers With reference to the Russian gave the correspondent his opinion that no more military activity on a large scale could be expected from it.

Wilcox, Franchis : Ex ‘a Finds Bill Is Designed to Rel Company Not to Benefit HE Post -Dispatch publishes a the ninth of a serves of articles telling why the bill grant- ing the United Railways Co. a new franchise for 31 years, abolishing the mill tua and de- priving the city of its taxing power over the company, should be beaten. These articles are written at the request of the Post-Dispatch by public-spi rited men who have studied the bill— which has been agreed upon by the company and Mayor Kiel’s administration and who may be regarded as authorities from the standpoint of the public welfare on m fis subject of proper public utilities franchises. + 3 ORDINANCE NO. 2 By Delos F. Wilcox. , MUNICIPAL. BUILDING, NEW YORK, Die. 2 > * * Granting eri rights to the United Railways Ce. of St. Louis, as amended—analysis prepared for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch by Delos F. Wileox of New York City. [ have examined the amended draft of Ordinance No. 2, recently made public by the Utilities Committee of the Board of Aldermen, and have compared it with the original draft of July 27th last. It is very hard to give an adequate criticism of this proposed franchise, as its provisions are complex and often doubtful. More- Ais their real meaning and effect depend in large measure upon the provisions of the city charter, the State Constitution, the Public Utilities Law, and the decisions of the Missouri courts. The ordinance bears the earmarks of a measure designed primarily for the relief of the Co. rather than a measure for the resettlement of the relations between the city and its street Railways on a constructive basis for the furtherance of the public welfare. One might be led to suppose that the city of St. Louis and its people existed for the benefit of the United Railways, instead of the vice versa, The whole plan of the ordinance is so defective from the public point of view that it is hardly worth while to attempt to lead the reader painfully through the technical details of criticism. I have concluded, therefore, to take another tack, and by touching the high spots of & constructive policy as applied to the re- settlement of the street railway franchises of a great city like St. Louis, to present a criterion for a broad judgment of the pending ordinance. ment in what I consider to be the logical order. 1. The Inventory and Valu- ation. ag The first thing to do in a case like this is to find out exactly what property the company has which is already in use and nec- essary for the public service, and what the fair value of that prop- erty is. This is the foundation of everything: What do we start off with? An excessive valuation is likely to be disastrous in more ways than one. It may lead the enterprise down so that the most carefully devised scheme will not work. The great trouble with an ex- céssive valuation is that it gives’ security to the speculative in- vestments of the past and leaves no reward for the honest invest- ments of the future. We cannot go “over the ‘top” with our financial plan unless we are freed from the ball and chain of overcapitalization. This is % street rail- way optimism. The day when any sort of a franchise for a street railway in a great city was regarded as a gold mine able to. support securities represent- ing several mes the actual amount of the investment is past. How does this proposed St. Louis franchise meet this fundamental requirement? [ assume that the inventory of the property contained In Schedule „B, which I have not seen, is reasonably complete and accu- rate, though I should like to know, before accepting it, whether or not it contains a Jot of property that is useless for the street railway service. * yp ep As to the valuation, the ordi- nance fixes the figures at $60,- 000,000. The St. Louis Public Service Commission, in its report dated Nov. 19, 1912, after point- ing out that the company’s total eapitalization was $101,380,300, sald: “‘A liberal valuation as made by the commission shows the present property to hat fair value of $37,638,667. 16. 4 The commission then proceeded to discuss the evils of over- capitalization, concluding as fol- lows: “The extravagances and wastefulness of over-capitaliza- tion can be seen immediately by taking the example of a com- pany which has issued security obligations in excess of its real assets and then is obliged to ‘obtain more capital for exten- betterments or replace- ments. By its former issues the credit of the company is im- paired and the new issues if sold at all must be marketed at an extravagant discount. It can- not reasonably be claimed in such a situation that the con- sequences of the evils created by speculation in ‘franchise values’ and the hope of exploit- ing the public should be as- sumed by the public.“ TI’ have read the statement made by pir. Charles E. Smith, consulting engineer for the city, published in: the. Post-Dispatch of Sept. 18 last, in which he ex- plains how he added 60 per cent to the Public Service Commis- sion’s valuation and got $60,- 000,000. 1 am fairly well ac- quainted with the career and professional standing of Mr. James E. Allison, who is a chief engineer for the Public Service Commission, made the 1912 val- uation, and I feel certain hat hie methods and his judgment would not be likely to bring about a result that would be un- just to a street railway company. Lt see no sufficient warrant for sions, the additions which Mr. Sayth Delos F. Wilcox an Authority on Utilities Franchises considered one of the leading authorities of the United States on municipal government and franchises, frequently being called into consultation by municipalities and corporations in framing ‘franchise provisions. He was a th D* F. WILCOX is” “mission, First D | trom sf 1907 until 1913, Dial. from signed.

He is the author of several technical works and political essays, including “The Study of City Government,” The American City,” “The Govorn- ment of Great American Cities,” “Municipal Fran- chises,. Great Cities in Amer- Yea” and “Government by All the People.” He has been consulted re- garding the United Railways ordinance by President Aloe of the Board of Aldermen, who has had under consideration the employment of Wilcox as an adviser of the city in its negotiations with the United Railways. >... mber of the made to the Allison valuation, except, of course, the item of new investment, which he places at $3,000,000. From the evidence that is available I should say that a recognized capital value of more than $15,000,000 would be clear- ly excessive. I have no desire that cities should be flliberal or unjust in dealing with street railway companies, but in this business we are confronted by a condition, not a theory, and street railway capitalization and the secured investment under a modern franchise be got down to rock bottom. In my judgment, therefore, the proposed franchise ts radically defective with respect to the most important factor in the problem. It is from 831-3 per cent to 50 per cent off. 2. Immediate” Requirements we for Extensions and Addi- tional Facilities. The second thing to be deter- mined in a street railway reset- tlement is the chacacter and extent ot the accumulated defi- clencies of the existing system which require immediate action. ries of years is apt to fall be- hind the requirements of the community it serves.

The third, thing to be looked after in a street railway reset- tlement is a provision for the normal expansion of thé com- pany’s facilities to needs of a growing community as they arise from time to time during the life of the grant. St. Louis is a big city. Thirty-one years is a long time. Local transportation is a. vital fune- tion, and as a city approaches the million mark the problem of rapid transit becon.es acute.

TOMORROW ‘| President Will Read Address to Joint Session—Prohibition - Bill Pending. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—The Sixty-fifth Congress reconvened to- day for its second and “long” session, with the leaders prepared to stay here until next autumn. The keynote of the legislative pro- gram will be sounded tomorrow: by President Wilson in his opening ad- dress to be delivered in the Hou: chamber at 12:30 p. m., at a join session. It will be the President's first appearance before Congress since the night meeting of April 2 at. the opening of the special session called to permit him to ask for a declaration of war against Germany. As in the special war session which ended Oct, 6, prosecution of the war is the principal task facing the legis- lators. Today's opening meeting was an usual brief and perfunctory, ac- companied by the ordinary scenes of anew session—handshaking and other felicitations with well-filled galleries and much b e and confusion. After appointment of comimttees by both bodies to notify President Wilson and each other of their presence for duty and fixing their daily meeting hour at 12 o’clock, the Senate and House adjourned until tomorrow out of re- spect to members who died during the recess—-Senator Husting of Wis- conain and Representative Martin of Illinois, Ready to Go to Work. Organization of both Senate and House under Democratic control hav- ing been effected at the special ses- sion, both bodies were ready plunge into the mass of waiting busi- ness. Legislation, however, is not turther authority, especially over en- expected to get into full swing until next month, after the Christmas re- ‘cess, although there is some agitation to forego the holiday. Tomorrow will come the initial fiood: of bills, resolutions and peti- tions. Among the latter are many petitions accumulated during the re- cess, demanding the expulsion of Senator La Follette of Wisconsin for alleged disloyaity. His speech last 2 at St. Paul, Minn., was ered today by the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee in comnection with a subcommittee’s investigation. General miscellaneous legislation iz to come immediately before Con- grees, possibly including some meas- ures affecting this country's course in the war in view of widespread sentiment among returning members for declarations of war against Ger- many’s allies, Austria-Hungary, Tur- key and Bulgaria. Congress is ex- pected, however, to follow the views of the President in this respect. Appropriation measures will re- quire much time. Fourteen general and probably several special supply | bills for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1918, as well as estimates of additional money for present war needs, are to be considered, prob- ably immediately after New Year's. Two bills, the legislative, executive and judicial and District of Colum- to “JOSEPHUS DANIELS.” —— — * bia measures, already are preparation. With $21,390,000,000 already ap- propriated for the present fiscal year’s needs, many members believe | that, with forthcoming appropria- tions, the $50,000,000,000 mark may be reached for two years of war. New war revenue legislation is not | { under | taken up by the Senate Judiciary Committee. It operates in the na- ture of moratorium, suspending court processes against members of the American military forces. Other un- finished war legislation includes Sen- ator Chamberlain’s resolution to sub- ject aliens to the draft; Senator Cal- der’s bills for daylight saving and scheduled for active consideration | expeditious naturalization of aliens, for a month or more.

Important general legislation pend- ing because of its exclusion from the last special war session are the Webb bill permitting exporters to combine in foreign trade, which has twice passed the House and is the Senate's | ‘unfinished business; the Shields wa- | terpower development bill, the Walsh- Pittman oil and coal land leasing measure, and the Colombian treaty, proposing payment of $25.,- 000,000 to Colombia.

The pro- posal of Chairman Fitzgerald of the House Appropriations Committee for 48 Republicans, with cne seat—Sen- | ft the | single committee to control war appropriations also is pending. Spectacular features during the session are regarded as possible de- from the agitation against Senator La Follette and some war legislation.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.— Dr. Felix Adler of Columbia University, speaking before the Ethical Culture Society in the South Broad Street Theater today, sald: “President Wilson wrote in his book, ‘The New Freedom,’ before he was elected President, that ‘the state exists for the benefit of the individ- ual.’ If it exists for that purposes; if it exists for the purpose of life, lib- ‘erty and happiness, why should the individual be dragged from his home and fireside to subordinate his indi- vidual rights for the benefit of the nation?“ A few people left. ek Ess DAY” CLUB FORMED; | Seven East St. Dean to Anne From Beverage on Tuesdays.

When an independent mine succeds in getting empty cars, the operators said, their loaded cars Wai four or five days on the track before the railroad will take them.

The Chamber of Commerce of East St. Louis has appointed a committee to expedite the movement of coal, but that body is dominated, like everything else in East St. Louis, | by the Terminal Railroad Associa- tion. An efficient committee over there could ‘expedite the movement but this committee should have no railroad connections. Scheme to Retard Movement. “There seems to be plenty of coa) in the yards over there awaiting the pleasure of the Terminal company, but this company does not seem to care whether people freeze or keep warm. From all I can learn there is a well defined scheme to retard coal transportation in East St. Louis.“ Karch suggested. that the com mission appoint a committee to in- vestigate conditions in Kast St. Louis, authorized the local committee of Operators and Jobbers to work over there and report. back to the commission.

T., Dec. 3.—John IL. de Saulles Jr., 4% yeara old, was restored yesterday to the custody of his mother, Mrs. Blanca de Saulles, who was acquitted of the charge of murdering her divorced husband. The young Chilean woman had just told a group of newspaper women who called at her home that posses- sion of her boy was “the only thing needed to make my happiness com- plete“ when an automobile stopped in the driveway. A moment later the boy rushed into his mother’s arms. The reunion so soon was a surprise to Mrs. de Saulles, as she had feared it would be necessary to resort to legal procedure to regain custody of her child. The boy, a precocious, chunkily- built little fellow, with dark brown | eyes and hair of the same color, wore on the breast of his sailor blouse ‘a Deputy Sheriff's badge, a gift of Sheriff Phineas Seaman of Nassau County, in whose custody his mother was for three months. i * The World’s Fiscal Fear Ends November 30th ents from December Ist, 1916, to November 30th (inc.), 1917 ST.

Wednesday.—Late yesterday aft- ernoon I got a note from Prin- cess P de B——, asking me to go to see her. I got away from my toil and troubles at 7, and went up to find out what was the matter. The old lady was in a terrible state. A member of her immediate family married the Duke of „ A4 German who has always lived here a great deal. At the beginning of the war, things got so hot for anyone with any German taint that they cleared out. For the last few days German officers have been coming to the house in uniform asking to see the Princess. The servants have stood them off with the statement that she was out, but she cannot keep that up indefinitely. "hey are undoubtedly anxious to see her, in order to give her some mes- sages from the ’s, some of her «ther relatives in Germany; but if it gets around town that she is receiv- irg officers in uniform the town will be up in arms, and the lady’s life would be made miserable whenever the Germans 4° vet out. She wanted me to start right away for Antwerp tnd take her along, so that she could | tend her intendant around afterward to say that she was away on a jour- ney, and could not see the officers „ ho had been sent to see her. I la- bored with her, and convinced her that the best thing was to be abso- lutely frank. She is going to send her | intendant @round to see Von der lancken, and explain to him frankly the embarrassment to which she would be subjected by having to re- ceive officers at her home. I am sure that Lancken will realize the difficult situation the old lady is in, and will find some way of calling his people off. German Spy Reports on Him. At noon, day before yesterday,’ I found a man with a copy of the Lon- don Times, and carried it in my over- coat pocket to the Palace Hotel when I went there to lunch. Last night a lot of German civil officials were sit- ting at a table near by and holding forth in loud tones on the punish- ment that should be meted out to people who had forbidden newspa- pers in their possession. The most vehement one of the lot expressed great indigation that the Amerikan- ischer Legationsrath had been seen in that very restaurant the day be- fore with an English newspaper in his overcoat pocket. Pretty good spy you have, Fritz. A telegram has just been received from - Liege, saying that Shaler and Covehman have been released and are on their way to Holland. A Dutch messengér was in after lunch, and told me that he had seen the two men at headquarters yesterday after- noon, and that they were far from happy. He said he did not blame them, as the Germans are dealing out summary justice to anybody who falls into their hands that they do not take a fancy to. A.

We were in the big car, heavily laden—two trunks, several valisas and a mail pouch on top—my two stuff, the chauffeur and I in front. We made quick time out through Tervueren and down to Namur, hearing the heavy booming of can- non all the time away to the north. Ruin was all the way—odd farm- houses burned, towns with half the buildings in them, the Grand Place The great square at | Namur a heap of brick and mortar. The great bridge across the Meuse was dynamited and the three sec- tions hung in the river. All the way to Liege the main bridges had been destroyed, and we had to cross on temporary affairs constructed by the Germans. And the Germans were thick all, the way, holding us up at frequent intervals to look at our papers. They have it in for Belgium, and are in bad humor. We had some fine sam- ples of it during the day. | We stopped not far from Huy tor a picnic lunch, and then got under | way again, being stopped frequently all the way to Liege, where we sought | out the consulate. The Consul had gone to Spa to look after some En- glish people, but I'said my few words to his wife and daughter and then hurried away toward Vise and the Dutch frontier. “Vise Exists No Longer.“ Vise n’existe plus! Goodness knows what was done to the place, but there is nothing left but black- ened walls. It took us a long time to find unincumbered roads and get through between the fallen walls. Not far from the edge of town we found promptly put under arrest because my laisser-passer did not bear my photograph. The officer in com- mand cursed me'roundly for daring to come through Liege without re- porting, placed two armed soldiers in the car, and ordered us sent back. It was futile to point out to him that passes issued by the Military Govern- or-General did not need to conform to the local rules; in fact, it only made him peevish We scorched | back over the road to Liege, | but I succeeded in making the sol- diers stop at a small town where there was a local headquarters of sume sort with a Colonel in command. I got him to look at our pass which had been confiscated by our guard, and, after hearing my case and thinking heavily, he unen- thusiastically said we might proceed. We went back through Vise even faster, and enjoyed the look of our Lieutenant when told he had been overruled. After a minute or 30 he became very affable and said he had a brother in Jefferson City, Mo, and a nephew in Sacramento, Cal., who runs an apoteke. Just to show there was no hard feeling, I gave him a cigar and a few minutes later we crossed the Dutch frontier, where we created a sensation. A big crowd time the leisurely custom officers had examined the papers given me by the Dutch legation, they were packed so tight that it took the united effort of several officers and citizens to get us extricated.

Kerth was unknown at the embassy. that entered by the heads of the en- tente embassies here to the negotia- tions for an armistice between Rus- sia and Germany. The omission to join the protest ordered by the other allied Ministers was due to the fact that it was based on the London agreement against a separate peace to which America is not a signatory. Ambassador Francis, however, has assumed the attitude that all aid that America has extended to Rus- sia, and all recommendations to that ne added, would return to his village | ‘with his arms and form a part of the local Red Guard, which would be established to safeguard the revolu- tion and liberty.

PETROGRAD, Thursday, Nov. 29. —The report of the representatives sent through the German lines by Ensign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki Commander in Chief, to begin nego- tilations for an armistice was given out here today. It shows that the agreement to take up the negotia- tions was made on behalf of the Ger- mans by their Commander in Chief. It was agreed as reported yesterday that the conference should be held Sunday, Dec. 2, at German head- quarters in Brest-Litovsk. The text of the report follows: tee “We crossed the line, preceded by y sign, and at the best drug a trumpeter carrying a white flag. in the | Three hundred yards from the Ger- . man entanglement we were met by — [German officers.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 3.—MajJ. | Kerth; American military attache, has been ingtructed by Ambassador Francis to make a protest on the part of the United States similar to 50 Ono 00000 moro Objects to protest at Armistice and Communications to Gen. | Dukhonin. LONDON, Dec. 3.—Leon Bolsheviki Commissary of Foreign Affairs, according to à dispatch to the Daily Mail from Petrograd, has issued a warning with reference to the French and American communi- cations sent to Gen. Dukhomin, who has refused to resign as Commander- in-Chief, regarding the armistice and peace move in which he says: “Nobody demands from the pres- ent allied diplomats recognition of the commissaries’ Government which is responsible for the fate of the country. The Government cannot permit allied diplomatic and military agents to interfere with the internal affairs of our country and to attempt to incite civil war. Further steps in this direction will bring the gravest complications, the responsibility for which the Government now dis- claims.“ A dispatch to the Mail dated Sat- urday quotes Trotzky as saying that Gen. Dukhonin’s quarters had been surrounded and that it was expected the General and his staff would sur- render within 48 hours. Trotzky said that the demobilization of the army had begun but that its development further would depend on the peace negotiations. Every honest soldiér, Ä].

But at 7:50 o’clock the first answer from the chief of the general command already had been received, announcing agreement to our pro- posals and leaving the details of the next meeting to Gen. von Hoffmeis- ter and the parliamentarians.

To prepare it some water. is put into a bottle, and then as much powdered borax, as the liquid will dissolve. If a little extra goes in, no harm will be done. This compound will cut grease and dirt a patent soap powder. of using it is to sony no as quickly as A good way with a square of cheese cloth more than six inches wide and long. This should be wet with the solu- tion and used as a wash cloth. The ' solution may be used at any or al i times. and is thoroughly cleansing. It may be allowed to dry on the flesh or rinsed off. The former way is preferable if there is a ten- dency to abnormal greasiness of the Borax has an advantage over preparations are likely to act too parching the skin g0 this condition happening with borax as long as the least trace of greasb ness remains in the complexion.

All the powders are thoroughly mixed by sifting, and then the olls are worked in. This preparation should be put into tight jars. To use it, first wet the hands or face and then rub on a little of the powder, using more water. Finally wash off. Oranges are clearing to the skin.

So manufacturers were encouraged and the export of their product was assisted by boun- ties, while the export of raw ma- terials was taxed and that of bullion forbidden by law.

The heavy tax of 10 cents a pound on colored oleomargarine, from 33 to 50 per cent, in time of normal prices, is of course not a revenue tax, but a tax in restraint or prohibition akin to the tax on state banks of issue. It is undisguisedly a class tax in the interest of farmers. And what farmer, considering the present price he receives for his products, can protest legitimately against the slight reduction in the price of butter that may be foreseen from the competition of oleomar- i garine, taxed only on a revenue basis, which would mean a material decrease in the present | tax? The tax is hardly more of a success in its 2 straint feature than as a revenue-raiser. While | only 8,000,000 pounds of colored oleomargarine taxed at 10 cents was made last year, 225,158,000 | pounds of the uncolored product taxed at a fourth | of a cent a pound was made. Its most tangibie | effect was to limit the consumer's preference for | butterine having the appearance of butter. It is time to consider the consumer's needs in | the matter of this product. It is time to con- one case in which a war tax will mean a smaller, the disabled will be otherwise provided for.

The Post-Dispatch, assisted by the committee, is only the medium by which the peo- ple of the city offer this Christmas hospitality to the poor. Its end can be achieved only by the co-operation of the St. Louis people, who act as hosts. Every cent contributed will be expended upon the festival.

The Fuel Administration is said to be ponder- ing over a plan to have all schools in the North- ern and Central sections of the country closed The plan should have approval only as a last resort on a clear showing of absolute necessity. It is pro- posed that as a compensatory arrangement the schools shall close one month later and open a month earlier than usual next year, but those ad- ditional months in the warm season would hard- ly be the equivalent of the two fruitful months of and disorganization of educational forces result- ing from the change would be regrettable.

And the year on Jupiter, as meas- ured by the time of its rotation around the sun, is equivalent to al- most 12 years. This is due to the fact that we are just 93.000,000 miles from the sun, while Jupiter is 390, 000,000 miles distant. That enor- mously increases the distance this planet must travel in its orbit. But Jupiter gains something in speed to compensaté for his size. Our own planet revolves once every 24 hours, but the huge mass of Jupiter turns completely around in a little less than 10 hours. There are some striking differ- ences between Jupiter and the plan- et we inhabit. The force of gravity upon the greater body is more than two and a half times that upon our own earth Thus a girl or boy weighing 100 pounds here would find their weight increased to 265 pounds if they suddenly should be transported to Jupiter.

Rutherford thinks that the smaller Schools have been hit so hard by en- listments and the draft that they are unable to put out representative teams strong enough to even cope with the greater schools.

Here is a youth who won his way to the leadership despite the fact that he was playing his first year, and that he did not participate in the Washington game. Higgins, a halt- back, is 20 years old and weighs about 164 pounds. He was injured in the Marquette game, and although he stood on the sidelines weeping be- cause he could not get into the Piker game, Rademacher thought it better not to take any chances.

EFORE telling avout Bob Fitz- simmons’ second fight with Jim Jeffries, I'll have to go B er maker. I'm going to tell how would never have been made in the first place had it not been through my anxiety to do a favor for a friend. At the time of the first Fitz-Jeff fight at Coney Island, June 9, 1899, William A. Brady, who is now a rich theatrical and moving picture mag- nate, was not well off financially. George Cooke, who was one of the owners of the old Metropolitan Job Printing Co. in New York City, a friend of Brady's and mine, came to me and asked me as a special favor to him to let Fitz fight Jeffries. I wasn’t anxious about this match. First, we didn’t think much of Jeff's fistic ability. He had come to New York some time previously to box two men in one night—Bob Arm- strong and Steve O’Donnell. He was — he had hurt his arm and he wouldn't go on with O'Donnell. Couldn't Stand Roasting. by the newspaper critics, as he came to Gotham widely heralded and came so peeved by the roasting and his own failure to make good that he suddenly packed up his duds and went back home. Naturally 1 didn’t think Jeff | would be a strong card w Fitz, or at least a fighter that wodld be con- ‘sidered a worthy opponent of Fitz 's by the public. But at that anybody freckled one, he was so popular. Billy ages who was then Jeff's pet trie several times to clinch a match, but I always turned a deaf ear to his demands. Then it Wag that Brady appeared on the scene and Delaney, I understand, of- fered to declare him in on Jeffries’ end if he got me to consent to the result that I agreed to the match. Alex Brown and I were the owners of the Coney Island Sporting Club where the fight wag held.

What Julian Related in Opening Chapters of Fitz’s Life Story ARTIN JULIAN, Bob Fitz- simmons’ lifelong man- ager, has brought out many in- teresting points in the opening chapters of the former cham- pion’s life story. First he told how Fitz lost a world’s title through superstition and of his being robbed of a victory in the Sharkey fight. Julian in his next articles also brought to light that Fitz made money out of both the Corbett and Hall fights, instead of not receiving a cent, as has \) generally been understood. Fitz obtained $28,000 from the Hall contest, while the moving pic- tures of the Corbett battle gave him a big slice. Julian also has told of the second bout with Peter Maher, which the Cornish- —— ————— —— tsa tt sittin asst tn agreement was abrogated by the sign- ers. It was the first “worthless scrap of paper.” Jeff only consented to meet Fitz a second time because of the public’s insistent demand that he meet Fitz again. : After the first fight, Fitz went along beating all comers, and so bol- Stering his record that the Califor- nian either had to give him a chance to regain his title or quit the ring and acknowledge that he was afraid shown up so badly by the colored | fighter that he made an excuse that round; Ed Dunkhorst in two rounds; R this, Jim was roasted to a turn | much was expected of him.

A FRIEND of mine, who admired | Jeff because of his strength and dulk, suggested this clause to me. He said: * e ng Fits ig beaten, Martin, will Jeff give you a return match?’ “Beaten!” said I, “it's too silly to contemplate. Why that big boiler- maker couldn't beat Fitz in a hundred years.” “Well, no harm will be done, any- | way,” said he, “if you have a clause demanding a return match put in the agreement.” And to satisfy him, I had it done. Well Fitz lost in the eighth round. as 1 told in my first cle, and it Wasn't until July 25, 1968 that we were able to get Jeff into the ring at San Francisco, in the second fight, at Mechanic's Pavilion. — es lage inven tn Tuts was probably,one of the first Instance where a a fide written — — — sre eewone to receive $100 in good American cur- of the Kangaroo. Has String of Victories. ITZ knocked out Jeff Thorne in one round; Jim Daly in one Gus Ruhlin in six rounds and Sharkey in two tounds, besides whipping a bunch ot lessed lights of the ring. Can you wonder that Jeff was forced into the match? : Fitz was again knocked out in the second fight, but it was not until he cut Jeff to ribbons. Often since, both publicly and privately, Jim hag ad- mitted that in this scrap he was given the worst beating of his ea- reer. At the time he sunk a wild, dying punch, which. Fitz failed to avoid, blinded in both eyes. He was just able to see. Another minute of fight- ing and he would have -been blinded. As it was, it took the most heroic efforts on the part of eye special- ists to save Jeff's sight. But for that heart punch Fitz would have re- gained the title, and maybe success in ‘this attempt would have made a big difference in his career.

Finally Jeff and Fitz both agreed to let their opponents continue as long as possible and “save the show from being a bloomer.” Fitz went on first. I don't recall now the name of the local fighter he met, but anyhow I know he stopped him in about three rounds. Then came Jeff's entry into the squared circle. He was scheduled to meet Jack Munroe, a local product and a miner, too, who had achieved quite a local reputation. The miners were betting all kinds of money that he would stay the limit with Jeff and win the $100. Bad Luck for Jeff. EFF wasn't in very good condi- tion that night. He had been out celebrating for several nights and his wind was poor. He let Munroe go along nicely for three rounds, making an awful show of him. Then, in the fourth round, in a mad desire to put him away, he slipped chasing Munroe. It wasn’t a punch or any- thing that resembled one that caused Jim to fall, but some water in one of the corners. He was up in a flash, trying hard to corner Jack and stow him away. Fitz was in the wings. yelling: “Hurry up, Jim, don’t let that bum stay!“ a Well, Jeff started too late, and when the gong sounded Munroe was still on his feet. Can you imagine how Jeff balled out those promoters for demanding that he let Munroe etay? Jack had a press agent on the job and he sent wires all over the coun- try as to how he had floored the mighty Jeff—Jeff, the champion heavyweight of the world. Munroe received so much advertis- ing out of this incident that I de- cided to bring him along to New York with us. I booked him for big money at several theaters. I had intended to arrange several matches for him. but he became dreadfully ill and I decided to quit managing him. It was later that he was signed up to fight Jeff for the fight in which he was a toy in Jeff’s hands, being knocked out in the second round. So you can see What advertising will do.
