John Jones Tells How He Killed His

The Youthful Prisoner Does Not

John Guy Jones, the fourteen year-old
colored boy who shot and killed his brother
Robert, two years older, yesterday morning,
at the residence of DR.. George g. Morris,
as fully told in yesterdays Evening Times,
slept as quiet and peaceful last night in
his cell in the First precinct station, as
though he were at home i'll his own bed,
with no charges OF crime against him.
The lad does not seem in any degree TO
comprehend the gravity OF his terrible
deed, though he is far from being a dull
boy. He talks little of the murder and
upon the subject only When it is addressed
to him.
He low says that the pistol went off
accidentally while he was pointing ii at
his brothers. head, and that he did not
mean to shoot him, though they had had
some childish dispute over piece Of
bread Then he ran upstairs and got the
physicians revolver, and corning down
pointed it at Robert, making some remark,
and as the weapon was easily discharged
it went off before he knew it. This IS

-PECKHAM FIGHT OFF
The Principals Disagree as to the
Amount Of Forfeit.
PeckhaIn Afraid Of Raedy's Weight
No Immediate Prospect of
the Men Meeting.

The Raedy- Peckham fight, which " as to
have occurred Thursday evening, before the
Eureka Athletic Club, has been declared
off This action is the result of a disa-
greement between the principals as to the
amount of forfeit money to be posted, and
as the matter could not be arranged, the
articles of agreement are void. 1t is
understood that Peckharn insisted on the
full amount OF 500 being posted, while
Raedy held out for $25; Peckham's reason
for wanting the larger emount being "a
fear that Raedy would be over eight at
the time OF going into the ring.
The articles specified that the men
should weigh in at the ring side, and in
case of Raedy's being several pounds over
weight ne would very likely he willing To
forfeit so small an amount as $50 in
exchange for that advantage Peckham
has been easily under the specified weight
ever since he began training, which ac-
counts for his fear that Raedy exceeds
the limit. From present indications there
is no Immediate prospect Of the two men
meeting.

BOARD VERSUS CYCLISTS
Local Clubs Opposed to the Newly
Adopted Regulations.
A MEETING WILL BE HELD
The Decision of the Dealers to
Withdraw Their Support From
Race Meets Is Unpopular-The
Appraising Scheme Is Also Dis
liked Meeting Monday Evening.

The various cycling clubs, as well as the
unattached wheelmen OF Washington, have
come to the conclusion that they have u
grievance against the local cycle board OF
trade. Some time ago the board adopted
certain regulations, two of which contain
the subject matter of the wheelmen's pro-
test
Tie first, and the one which concerns
the clubs, is the expressed determination
of the cycle dealers not TO contribute any
thing toward prizes or advertising for
the various race meets to be held here
next season. This is considered an espe-
cial hardship on the clubs giving these
meets, as they have heretofore depended
greatly on the bicycle dealers for their
advert isements in the program to help out
the expense OF races. In addition the
dealers have frequently contributed such
prizes as tires, bells, cyclometers, etc,
which added greatly to the list of prizes
The second point is one which concerns
the wheeling public of the city. 1t Is the
agreement OF the board to allow a uni
form price on every secondhand wheel
traded for new one, and Mr. Dakin. the
New York avenue dealer is appointed as
official appraiser of the board. Under this
rule a person desiring to trade wheel
must first take it To the appraiser and
the allowance he makes upon it is final.
Also, no matter in how good condition the
wheel may be. the allowance upon IT shall
not exceed $50.
Upon these two points the wheeling clubs
differ widely from the board, and while
they do not intend to convey the i'm
preston that their attitude is dictatorial,
they have issued a call for meeting of
the various organizations at the Capital
Bicycle Clubhouse, next Monday evening,
at 7:30. At this meeting resolutions will
be adopted urging the board to modify
the regulations under discussion. All un-
attached wheeImen who desire to attend
will he welcome.
