Much Money in Empty Bottles.

From the Philadelphla Recorl
Very few people are aware Of the i'm
mense profits to be accrued in the gather
ing. handling and selling of old glass bot
ties. The traffic is large one. and by fol-
lowing it closely several devotees of the
calling have amassed comfortable fortunes.
This is particularly true of one old man,
who is well known down town. and who has
been gathering old bottles for forty years.
He is easily worth over half a million, and
today works just as hard as he did when
first building up his business. The old fell
low drives his own wagon and there is
hardly club steward in town who has not
done business with him.

Firmin Faure Advocates Strengthen.
ing Of the French Armx


During the debate in the French cham
Der of deputies in Paris yesterday on the
colonial budget, Firmin Faure, anti-Semite,
urged the necessity of strengthening the
defenses of the colonies and the colonial
army. in addition to a system of French
owned cables. He pointed out that while
Mr.. Chamberlain's Leicester speech was
perhaps only his personal view. the fact
that British minister had INDUCED in
such language toward France was suffi-
GENTLY grave cause for its consideration
by the chamber, and, he added, II was
high time to take notice of Mr.. Chamber
lain's warning.
NJ. Faure also intimated that British
emissaries were overrunning Tunis. dis
guised as Protestant missionaries, and SELL
ing ammunition to the Arabs.
The anti-British remarks were heartily
cheered.

key was willing to be assisted in his move

reached their destination, after a long ride
IN a cab, he was carried into the bath house
and rubbed down. During that operation
he talked a little, saying he would have
put Jeffries out if he had not wrenched his
left shoulder in the eighteenth round.

that he said. He did not know how the
shoulder was Wrenched.
Before coming over from Coney Island
JeffrieS was driven to his headquarters on
the Ocean Boulevard, where he packed his
grip. after which he rode in coupe over
to the borough of Manhattan. He remain
ed at the bathing rooms until noon, when
he set out for Philadelphia to visit rela-
tives. The champion seemed anything but
pleased over the result of the fight. He
had expected a much easier task. There
is a big lump on his cheek bone and
slight abrasion on the forehead between
the eyebrows. and the skin of his nose is
badly lacerated.
His left arm, which was strained while
training, is now almost useless. 1t bother

against DIR. Hodges, who put up a good
fight against the District champion, but
finally lost. Mr.. Lyman put up very
strong game against Mr.. Gwyer, who says
he tried hard to get into the game, but
never succeeded, and threw up the sponge
on the twenty-third move. Woodward and
Boykin adjourned their game after four
and half hours hard play in about an
even position. but each had made serious
error, losing a piece Adair and Walker
had fine game, which the latter won
after a good struggle by the sacrifice of a
rock, attaining winning position. Harris
lost to Sournin, after having a won game
well in hand, but let his opponent attain
winning position, while he was looking only
for what he could pick up. Messrs. w. II.

for a chance to strike while Jefries' hand

snatched his hand from the glove and so
the fight ended with the two men locked
and wrestling as if it had been sidewalk

The best authorities in New York esti-

In addition, the fighters received 80 per
cent of all moneys taken in over $40 900
In round numbers $4,000 came into the COT
fers of the club which added an additional
$4,000 to the sum to be divided between
the two fighters, each man getting half.

be successful it is estimated that at least

sHARkEY SAYS HE WAS ROBBED.
JeRries Declares He Was Sure of VIC
tory From Start.

In signed statement to the sporting ed
itor of the Philadelphia Press Sharkey
says: Il was robbed. That is the story in
a nutshell. L fought from the beginning
to the end. and according to my count and
those of my seconds had the best of it for
twenty-one rounds.
"Jeffries did the best work at the very
last that l know well as any one, but
how Mr.. Siler figured out the better up to
the twentieth is beyond me. ! said all
along that would not get fair show with
Siler, and tonight's experience proves that
l am not very bad prophet.
q fought as | expected to. I decided to
be the aggressor and put it over Jeffrles
from the jump. This / did, and the spec
tators showed an appreciation of my work
certainly punched him as much as he
punched me, and good deal more.
I'm matter Of blows landed l outdid him
three to one. This is the second time jeff
ries has been awarded the decision over
me, and l ask for return match under a
man who knows his business and will de-
eide fairly.
Il will fight him for any amount, and
will post the money Immediately. L am
certainly not satisfied, and l know that the
public is not either"
Jeffries in a statement to the World says
THE fight is over and / am still champion
1 have beaten the man who next to myself
is the greatest natural fighter in the world
l won fairly, and from the moment l en-
teTeu Tic IIuS L hiltW L was the sailor
master. The long, monotonous work
through which l went in my six weeks OF
training has had its effect, and the knowl-
edge that l stand now the greatest fighter
in the world and the undisputed champion
is well worth the pain and trouble and
worry that it cost me.
Il had no fear when 1 entered the ring
AS 1 sat in my corner and looked at
Sharkey. with his huge chest, bullying mus
Giles and massive strength, showing in
every line of his form, it merely inspired in
me desire to win from a man who looked
as If he might be fit to fight for his life
There was no terror there for me, how
ever for 1 had only to cast my eye on my
own chest, arms and legs, and see evil
dences of even greater strength and power.
l believe / would have put him out before
the limit, but the heat from those lights
almost overcame me. At times it seemed
to be a ball of fire on my head, but L came
through all right at last.
This was the hardest fight / ever had
and never expect to go through such an
experience again, for I believe l learned
enough in this fight to knock out any man
alive. Sharkey was game and awfully
strong, but there was not a minute of the
time that | did not get the best of it,
want to take a good long rest and defend
the championship against all corners.
Il expected when | went into the ring to
win in seven eight rounds. After that
time had passed 1 felt sure l would win
before the twentieth. About the eighteenth
round l decided that l would go the limit
and, knockout or no knockout, l knew l
had done the work and that the decision
should be mine
