JEFF PICKS FITz TO WIN.
Champion Discusses Coming Fight
Between Veteran and Gardner.

New York, Nov. 23.-"The battle be-
tween Fitzsimmons and Gardner for the
light heavyweight championship which
takes place on next Wednesday night at
San Francisco, should prove a grand
fistic event. said Champion Jim JEFF
fries. No matter which one comes out
the winner. I think it will be hard
fought contest.
Personally, look for Fitzsimmons to
win. l have fought him and know that
he is a great fighter; in fact, think he
is the hardest proposition I have ever
encountered. He is a wonderful hitter
and is onto all the tricks of the game.
He is an excellent ring general. If,
however, Gardner should defeat F'itz-
simmons, 1 will be ready to fight him
for the championship.
1T takes a great fighter to defeat
Fitzsimmons and If Gardner is success
full we can put him down as a wonder.
OF course, FitZSimmonS' age is slight
disadvantage, but if he trains good and
ton he would be hard to defeat.
Like all other professions, fighter
cannot always last. Fitzsimmons has
had many hard fights. While they have
never injured him permanently ne has
received some hard knocks and he has
hit so many hard blows that his hands
are not what they were a couple of
years ago. The long rest he has r.
given his hands a chance to get strong
again. Fitzsimmons hands may hold
out and if they do Gardner will get the
worst walloping he has ever received
'T have followed Gardeners career
with considerable interest and he may
have a surprise in store for Fitz. He
has the advantage in years over Fitz-
simmons, but 1 doubt as to whether he
has any more strength
''FitzsimmonS' best move, I should
think, would be to finish his man off in
the early stage of the battle, while his
hands are still strong. If it is short
battle. Fitzsi1nmons will surely be the
winner. While Gardner may be ter
rife hitter 1 don't think he can COM
pare in delivery with that of his OPP
ponent In fact, 1 don't know of any
other fighter who can hit harder blow
than Fitzsimmons. In long drawnout
battle I am inclined to believe that
Gardner would have the advantage 1t
is in a long, fast battle that age and
good condition tell"

TO PLAY A MORNING GAME.
Missouri and Kansas Norma1s at
Association Park.

Warrensburg, Mo-. Nov. 2S.-The Mis-
souri, and Kansas Normals have trans
ferred their annual Thanksgiving football
game to Kansas City, and the turkey day
game will be played at Association park
at 1890 in the morning.
So far, Missouri has won both of these
interstate conteSts-the first by score r.
and the second, 1911. The teams have
always been very evenly matched and
the outcome was in doubt right up to the
last minute of play. This year the teams
are much stronger than ever before. In
the last two games before the Thanksgsv-
ing game, Kansas held the Terrible
Swedes" to 11-5 score and defeated her
old rival, the College of Ernporia, by the
decisive score of 20-6. She has SHOWN
great improvement in form and she. con-
fidently expects to win over Missouri this
time. The development of the Missouri
Normals has been slow and steady from
the first of the season. This team is now
playing first class football. Missouri de-
feated the University of Arkansas Mo-
vember Z, 1916. and November Is she de-
feated the University Medics of Kansas,
17-5-a more decisive victory than the Has
kell Indians beat them. The Indians could
make it only 11-6.

He DIED PENN1LEss.
William Austin, of Emporia, Once
Worth q Million.

Emporia. Kan, Nov. 2S--William
Austin. aged 81, died Saturday OF
paralysis of the spine. Though once
worth a million, he leaves nothing Tor
his girl wife and his friends will have
to bury him. In 1888 he fell heir to a
quarter of a million dollars. Half of 1t
was lost in four years in the importa-
lions of English and French stations
The remainder was lost in various
poor business speculatiOns. One was
the purchase of a large flour mill at
Marion, Kan. Mr.. Austin gave freely
to the Emporia Presbyterian college and
the church. He built William Austin
chapel at the college in 1889.
In 1891 he married his step niece,
who. until the marriage, attended COL
Iege. He was So and his bride, Mary
Barber, Is.
Mr.. Austin died penniless and will be
buried by his friends. For months his
family has been supported by friends
Mr. Austin held thousands of dollars in
worthless paper which he accepted on
various business transactions.
Twice Mr. Austin went to Europe. He
invested largely in Italian statuary and
paintings. The statuary was sold last
summer for $780, although 1t is consid-
cred some of the most costly in this part
of the country.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 23.-Cham-
pion Young Corbett and George Weeden
arrived from Denver on a delayed over
land train and the little champion soon
found that he had brought well de-
fined case of la grippe with him. A
doctor ordered him to bed at the Palace

his room until the skies have cleared
Corbett is here to talk fight with Ed
die Hanlon and was to haNA seen Man
ager Levy of the Hayes Valley club
last night, but the promoter failed to
put in an appearance. The fighters
version of the differences between him
and Levy puts a new light on the sit
uation. He claims that the hitch was
not the result of exorbitant money de-
mands on his part. Levy could not
guarantee to bring off show in Me-
chanics' pavilion and Corbett baked
at any other building. Unless the Hayes
Valley club can make such an arrange
ment the champion will take one, two
or three months as the occasion re-

leaving an estate valued at 100000, was
arrested and lodged in the county jail
m charges preferred against him by
his brother-in-law, William F. Ray

The arrest has caused a sensation
here as the De Fords are among the
most prominent families in eastern
Kansas Nathan B. De Ford came to
Kansas in 1857, and was one Of the
first supervisors in Miami county IN
territorial DAYS.
William De Ford is charged with
having threatened the life of George
T Wilson, the administrator OF the
estate. and intimidating his mothe el
and Rayrner The estate left py pe
Trord consists principally of Wen
stocked farm of 500 acres OF Valliaple

seven other heirs, four sons ana lniee
daughters. The other children clalIll
that their brother William resofted 70
desperate means to defraud them ana
their mother of their share OF the
property.
II is alleged that to gain possession
of some cattle belonging to the estate
he drew a revolver and knife and
threatened to kill Wilson, the admin
istrator. if he did not turn over to him
the cattle he wanted.
Finally with the consent OF Mrs:
De Ford Wilson let him have some OF
the cattle The Kansas state law
gives the widow an undivided half in
terest in the property. After the death
of her husband. Mrs. De Ford decided
her share of the property to her son
William. 1t is claimed by the other
heirs that he forced her to do so by
intimidating her.

Gardeners fercest attacks will be di-
rected, and is providing against dis
aster as far as possible.
Aleck Greggains, who is directing the
training of Gardner, is firmly of the be-
lief that Fitzsimmons system of body
defense will be OF no avail
Il claim that Gardner is the strongest
man in the ring today" said he, apart
from Jeffries. He is a vicious puncher,
and he can stand a terrible beating. He
hasn't the slightest fear of Fftz- He be-
lieves, as I do, that Fits left shifts
and all his other famous punches have
lost their sting. George will fight care
fully, but once they begin to mix it he
will give Fitz no rest. 1 see where Fitz
says he will win inside of ten rounds.
If the fight should go over ten rounds
the betting should be 2 to on Gardner,
for even if Fitz holds his end up that
long he will be past the danger point,
and the first well placed blow will put
him down for keeps

REGULATE FILIPINO WIVES
American Soldiers Will ASK Courts to
Legalize Desertion.

LeavenWorth Kan Nov 23.-The suit
of First Lieutenant Sidney S. Burbank,
Sixth infantry, against Mrs Conception
Fazquez, a Filipino woman, to set aside
an alleged marriage, will come up for
hearing in the LeaVenworth district
court today. The suit was filed Septem-
Der "a and the fifty days time allowed
under the Kansas statutes to answer has
expired. So far the woman has not
been heard from. 1t would require an
other month for the Filipino woman to
make a defense, as all the papers in
the case have to cross the Pacific
ocean twice.
The suit will be watched with great
interest in army circles, for dozens of
prospective weddings hinge on the out
come of the suit, having been held up
on account of the order issued in the
Burbank case that marriages of Off
GERS who had native wives in the Phil
ippineS would not be countenanced-
There are several of these cases at
Fort Leavenworth.
Lieutenant Burbank was engaged to
marry Miss Stone, daughter of former
State Senator Stone of Leavenworth.
The engagement was announced last
summer. Then the claim of the Fill
pino woman was sent to the war de-
partment, which called upon Burbank
for an explanation and threatened him
with court-martial if he married again
while he had Filipino wife. Burbank
In order to clear his name fled suit TO
set aside the marriage. He charges that
the papers are forgeries and that it is
a plot to marry this Filipino woman to
him or to extoFt money. The engage
ment with Miss Stone, it is understood,
is still on, but there will be no marriage
until the suit is decided. Miss Stone
father is Lieutenant Burbank's attor-
ney in the suit to have the alleged Fill
Pine marriage set aside.
Lieutenant Burbank strongly denies
that he was married to the Filipino
woman and in his petition says in part:
This plaintiff further ayers that he is
an officer in the army of the United
States and as such served about two
years in the Philippine islands. and
from May, 1900, to May. 1902, had hi:

headquarters at said municipality of
ValladoIid; that during a part of the
time he had his headquarters at said
town he was acquainted with the de-
PENDANT and met her frequently, as did
also other men in the military service
of the United States, but that his rela-
lions with her were not other or differ
ent than the relations to her of other
men in the army and in private HE;
that during all of the times that the
plaintiff knew said defendant while
stationed at Valladolid she made no
claim or pretension to being his wife.
Lieutenant Burbank is still at Fort
Leavenworth carrying on his army du-
ties The war department will take no
action regarding the matter unless Bur-
bank loses his suit in the civil courts

case before starting for ST. Paul. The
decision is in favor of the company
operating two big plants, one at lola
and the other at LaHarDe.
This is a case wherein H. c. Brown
of Illinois brought suit in 1899 against
the Lanyon Zinc company for an al
legged infringement of an ore roasting
furnace. There have been five hearings
of the various phases of the case. In
one case in the United States circuit

judged that the Lanyon Zinc company
must stop using a certain kind of fur
mace. This was in September, 1902.
The zinc company Immediately substi
tuted another furnace, called the Cap
peau furnace, to take the place of the
mace.
