Man in Third Round.

San Francisco, Cal, March 22.-Jim
Jeffries of Los Angeles easily defeated
Peter jackson in the third round tonight
at Woodward's pavilion. jackson did
not make much of q showing after the
first round. He displayed some of his
cleverness in ducking and jab-
bing with his left, but could not land
hard enough to stop the PUSHES OF his
younger and stronger antagonist.
Jeffries showed considerable clever
ness. using his hands with both judg-
ment and precision.
The second round was lively until Pc
ter got a hard left swing on the jaw
which sent him down on mis- back. He
arose only to go down again from the
same blow, and was saved ny the gong
sounding time. Jackson came up look
ing fairly fresh in the third round, but
soon received a hard left on the jaw
which made him wobble helplessly about
the ring Another blow sent him against
the ropes, where he hung unable to lift
his hands. JefTries stepped back await
ing the recovery of his opponent, but as
Peter was plainly out the referee stepped
between them and declared Jeffries the
winner.

in the House.

Washington, March 22.-The naval ap-
preparation bill was reported to the

bated until o'clock, when the house,
owing to the illness of Mr.. Rhea of Ken
lucky, who was to speak this afternoon
adjourned until tomorrow. The case
will be disposed of tomorrow.
The prevailing impression is that Mr.
Eppes, the sitting member, will be un-
seated. as upon the decision in this case
Will depend largely the decision in the
two other Virginia cases, in which prac-
tically the same questions are involved.
Mr.. Eppes had 1921 plurality on the face
of the returns Extensive frauds were
charged, and the majority of the COM
nlittee found that Mr. Thorpe should
have received 307 plurality, and, upon
their finding, recommended that he be

liable. He declared that uniformity

thority were the only means at hand
properly to meet the dread invasion of
