JEFFRIEs is STILL CHAMPION
Referee Graney Stops Fight in Second
Round to Save Munroe's Life.

San Francisco dispatch: AZ Me-
chanlcs' pavilion Friday night Jack
Munroe, TIE Butte miner, went down
and out In the first half of the second
round OF his fight with Champion
James j. Jeffries.
Munroe performed like tyro and
his showing was a great disappoint-
ment to the crowd. which vented IT'S
displeasure over the farcical affair by
loudly Kissing Munroe when he pro-
tested against the decision which had
been given against him.
The two giants had not been in the
ring two minutes when Il was seen
that the aspirations Of Munroe would
be quickly disposed of. The miner
was scared and awkward, and Jeffries
in the first round had him twice On
the canvas taking the count.
Referee Graney said after the fight:
II stopped the fight because Munroe
would have been killed IL allowed to
get up. | motioned to Mccoy 20
throw mp the sponge. but Munroe was
knocked down before the Kid had
time 10 act, and ] did the only thing
possible under the circumstances"

BREAKS JAIL

Iars," Escapes From Cell
at GAINESVILLE.
OUTSIDERS HELP PRISONER
Saw Through Heavy Bars to Release
Him, and Then Take Him Down
Rock River in a 6oat-Angers Post
al Officials.

Chicago, ILL.,, special Fulfilling his
boast that he never would go 10 trial
for the robbery of the Superior (Wis)
postoffice last winter, Eddie Fay,
termed by the postoflice officials the
king OF burglars" and who was sus-
pected OF having planned the $4,000
robbery of the Chicago postoffice
three years ago, has escaped from the
GAINESVILLE (Wis) Jail. lie made his
escape Thursday night. presumably
through the aid OF a confederate in
the crime. Edward Flaherty, who also
escaped. Charles Dennis, convicted of
the same robbery, is serving a five
year term in the Federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
Says He Gave Warning.
News of the escape of Fay came as
a thunderbolt TO Chief Inspector Stu
art OF the Chicago postoflice, who eff
fected the arrest OF Fay last April.
The information came TO Col. Stuart
in the following telegram from United
States District Attorney Wheeler at
Janesville:
Eddie Fay broke Jail last night.
Jail sawed into from the outside and
cell opened"
Replying, Mr. Stuart sent this mes
sage:
Warning was given by this office
to Wisconsin officials that cape
would be effected unless extreme pre-.
cautions were taken. Someone should
be punished. This is shameful ana
discouraging 10 those who have
worked so long and so heroically 20
bring this king of burglars TO JUS
tice.'
Fay Is Clever Thief.
This telegram" said Inspector Stu
art, indicates pretty we'll my feelings
in the matter. Fay Is one of the
cleverest postofflce thieves we ever
had TO contend with. Not only is
there n strong chain OF evidence con-
Meeting him with the $4,000 rouoery
OF the Superior postoflice last winter,
but there are strong indications that
II was he who engineered the $4,000
robbery of the Chicago postofiice
three years ago. lie is believed 20
have planned or perpctrated numer-
Gus other robberies of like nature In
various parts OF the country. We have
n list OF Offices which we believe ne
had planned to rob We are satisfied
he is a member OF desperate and
cunning band OF thieves. The chain
OF evidence we were prepared to pre-
sent against him for robbery OF the
Superior office was so strong that he
could not have escaped punishment
That is why he made his escape, be-
ing satisfied that he would be con-
victed and sent up for a long term.
May Have Fled 70 Europe.
AS to our plans for apprehendhg
the man, we shall lie low for time. IL
may be he is making his way to Eu-
rope, where he once spent some time.
The deplorable part of the affair is
that the man had not been placed on
trial. He was arrested and arraigned
with Dennis and Flaherty for the Su-
perior robbery. Flaherty escaped from
the Jail at Madison. Wis; Dennis was
convicted and sentenced, and Fay Sc
cured a postponcmont OF his trial TO
the September term OF court. Had he
been tried and convicted the case
would assume a different phase. II is
not SO hard TO handle an escaped con-

Won OGDEN VOGT WILL BE
AT STATE C. z. CONVENTION

Among all the speakers at the state
convention of the Christian EndeavOr
at Springfield July 40. none will be
more cordially welcomed that the gen
eral secretary Of the united society, Won
| Ogden Vogt, whom we may claim for
an Illinois man, for his home was in
this state before he went to Beloit
college. Wisconsin, from which he
graduated in 1901. He is a western
man, and his interest in Endeavor
work in Illinois has been shown re-
Gently, by his visits throughout the
state. From Cairo to Galesburg. all
who saw him and heard him speak
while on that tour will want to- meet
him again in Springfield at the con-
vention.
When he accepted the invitation of
the trustees of the united society to-
become its secretary, and took up the
work about a year ago of John Willis
Baer. those who had not heard before
OF this young man wondered what
manner of man had been chosen, and
hoped he would make worthy sue
cessor to one whom all had learned 10
love and honor. His work has proved
the wisdom OF the choice. He has won
the respect and love of those who did
not know him before, and illinois so
cieties count it one of the greatest
privileges to be enjoyed at the coming
convention, that they will have with
them the general secretary Of the unit
ed society. Won ogden Vogt.
Many who know him only through
his timely and helpful writings in the
Endeayor World viii be glad to see
him, hear him speak and enjoy the
closer friendship to be gained by these
means. with one so heartily in sympa-
thy with the motto of the Springfield
union, illinois for Christ"
