In the opinion of Charley White, tle
old-time referee and pugilistic expert,
the coming battle between James Ed
ward Britt and Jabez White, England's
best lightweight, will be one OF the
best ring engagements seen in years,
and, on his own ground, the American
should win after the hardest engage
ment of his career Here is what
White has to say:
Ry Charley White.
NEW YORK, April 16.-When ia
bez White fights Jimmy Britt it VIII
be virtually for the lightweight cham
pionship of the world.
A thousand men have asked me to
pick the winner, but I am free to con-
fess the task is too much for me.
Fighting on his native soil will give
Britt a shade of advantage, but only
a shade, and the men who talk about
Britt looking for easy money in TAX
ing on the champion of England had
better study the public form of the
fighters.
Both Fierce Fighters.
Britt's record and his abilities are
we'll known to American fighters. ia
bez White is recognized at his weight,
Al one of the best men that England
ever produced 1 saw him beat our
own Spike Sullivan, one of the
strongest. gamest, fiercest men in the
business. and 1 must say that I nave
great respect for this pale young Eng
lishman.
Looks Like Mccoy.
When Jabez White strips in the ring
the people of San Francisco will be
surprised. He looks like a small KID
Mccoy, but very much paler. His
skin is dead white, his hair lght
brown, his eyes large and prominent
and very blue. In fact, they look like
the eyes of a fashionable tenor until
he begins to fight. Then they blaze
all right. In build White has the same
coffin chest and long, lanky limbs as
Mccoy. You can't see any muscles
to speak of on either arms or legs;
vet somewhere in that long body he
has the power to hit a fellow that Will
drop any man it lands on.

Like all boxers not OF the sluggMg

the end of the sixth inning Is safe ones

GIRL BATTLES THE SCIENTISTS.
Develops Ten Personalities in Twenty
Months-AIl Entirely Separate.

LONDON, April 17.-An astonishing
case of a girl possessing ten separate
and distinct personalities within twen-
ty months is being mucn discussed in
medical circles.
The girl was the patient of Doctor
Albert Wilson, and so remarkable was
the case that Doctor Wilson laid it be-
tore the committee of the Medico-
Psychological association. Many Of the
members of the body were at first skep-
teal, agreeing that the manifestations
were undoubtedly genuine, but they
were unable to offer any explanation
of the occurrence.
Doctor Wilson also reported the case
to the Phychical Research society, WAC
nave now published it's details in their
proceedings.

ARRIVES TO FIND
MAN HAD SKIPPED
An Oklahoma Deputy Sheriff Has =
Thousand-mile Trip to Atlanta
for Naught.

Atlanta, June H. Especially After
traveling for a thousand miles to reach
his prisoner Deputy Sheriff J. c. Bour-
land of Caddo, Okla. arrived in Atlanta
only to fine that he had been released
III Coraelo just one hour before he had
reached the Georgia capital
Deputy Sheriff Bourland was in search
OF j. IL. Shrouder, a white man. whom
he alleges is wanted in Anabarko Caddo
county, Oklahoma to face the charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses
lie states that his man was apprehended
IN Cordele, Dooly county, Georgia, and
mat he wired the chief of police there
TO arrest him. This was done and the
Deputy Sheriff started for his man.
Yesterday Judge Henderson of Dooly
county called up the governor and ask
ed II he had Issued a requisiton for
Shrouder- The governor had not been
advised that a requisition had been re-
qeested as the Deputy Sheriff brought
the request with him instead of wiring
IN advance, SO the governor told the
Judge that he knew nothing of such a
fequisition. The man under arrest took
out habeas cor-us proceedings and was
released on a 5000 bail
Then he skipped
Shortly after the phone conversation
took place Deputy Sheriff Bourland APP
peared at the governors office and pre-
scented request for a requistion for
Shrouder which was promptly granted
The Judge was called up at Cordele TO
be notified of the requisitlon and 1t was
then that the deputy was notified that
his man was gone. He went down to
| Cordele to satisfy himself that there
was no chance to recapture his man and
| today he returned to the capitol to tell
the governor that no blame was to be
| attached to anyone for the loss of his
man.
Speaking of the case Deputy Bourland,
who is typical westerner. standing six
feet three high. broad shouldered, deep
chested and with the walk of a man who
misses his ''broncho." said
"Wall, 1 missed him. Thets about all
to 1t | reckon. I'd like to have got him
though, for he was such slick one Why
do you know the burned cayote would
mortgage property whether he had II or
no. 1t made no difference to him. The
main charge | have against him is that
he mortga ged the same pair o mules
seven times and the last time added
couple o. cows and a calf which he didn't
have at all. Now you know seven mort
cages is too many for any pair o mules
to hold up, naow pardner amt it.
Guess he's running like jack rabbit
by this time. Wall. / reckon I'll go BACK
the same way / come-empty handed. 80

torches" I nSver mad an opportunity to
examine them, and I do not know how
they were made but from their appear
ance and behaior l concluded that they
were combination of bomb, a para
chute and large wad of flax or hemp
Sc turated with soma liquid which burned
with bright flame. When the bomb was
exploded in mioair by means of time
fuse it liberated mass of flaming ma
terial attached by wires 20 a small para
chute. This parachute descended very
slowly, and the torch harging from It

minute and a half 1t made a light

the star rocke. in brlliancy but it had
the compromising advantage of lasting
longer and c rrying the illumination
closer to the ground. If the time fuse
were cut short the flaming wad would
burn until it actually reached the ground.
and when l..ere were three or four of
these torches in the air al once they made
quite light enough to reveal the move
nents of troops in the trenches or ravines
over which they were thrown.
1t can readily be imagined that when
searchlights, star rockets and parachute
torches were all in simultaneous opera
ticn, when bursting shrapnel cases were
making FREELY flashes in midair. when
the illuminated slopea of the Russian
hills were blazing with the red fire of ar
tillery and WHOM the significance of the
illumination was emphasized by the BOOM
ing of cannon. the pom, pom. pom of
quick-firers and the steady rattle of per-
haps a thousand rifles the spectacle was
one of thrilling and absorbing interest.

Will Joe Hall Enter the Arena? Is
Asked on Every Hand.


Atlanta, June 14-(Special.) When
will Joe Hill Hall definitely announce
for GOVERNOR" That is the question
generally asked throughout the state
today by the politicians interested In
the gubernatorial race.
That he is to all intents and pur-
poses a candidate already seems
foregone conclusion.
A caller at the state capitol, whose
name is withheld for obvious reasons,
stated today.
why, Joe Hall is running now. He
ma. not be running for himself, but
he is certainly electioneering for gov
ernor for somebody who is not yet an
nounced. 1 came up on the train with
him to Macon last week, and at every
station we stopped he had friends
present to come up and shake hands
with him and urge him to run In
each case he would tell them to wait
and that a candidate to represent the
principles for which he had always
stood would soon be announced. He
gives you the idea of eanyassng FOR
the principles he represents and that
the candidate to fit these will be made
later"
The latest gossip along the lines of
another candidate who has not yet been
announced is that Seaborn Wright OF

put forward for this honor by Mr.. Hall
and his strong following. Just what VIII

THE ART OF WAR.
Use Of Star Rockets and Aerial
Torches at Port Arthur.

In vivid description of a night at
tack at Port Arthur an eye witness,
George KEENAN,, the Outlook's represen-
tatiye in the far east, thus tells of some
novel war appliances:
As means of Illuminating a field of
battle at night the searcniight had one
serious defect, and that was its ten
dency to cast black shadows into ra-
vines and depressions of the ground. In
order to illuminate such places the Rus
slams made use of star rockets and
aerial torches, which shed light directly
downward into natural or artificial hori-
zontal rays of the searchlight could not

tube of quarter inch iron eighteen inches
long and three and a half inches in d.
ameter, with an explosive head at the up
per end and a long and rather heavy
at the base of the tube were eight or
ten half inch holes, through which. l
presume, the propulsive powder forced
its way as the rocket assembled When
1t reached its height the burning compost
ton inside the tube set fire to the head.
The latter then exploded. setting free
sixty or eight brilliantly white stars or
spangles. which fell slowly in a silvery
shower, lighting up an area of at least a
square mile underneath very much as It
would be lighted up on a less extensive
scale by the burning magnesium used in
fiash-light photography. The stars kept
bright for a period of from five to eight
seconds and the illumination of the
ground underneath seemed to me to he
quite as great as that caused by the rays
of fun moon.
In combination with these rockets the
Russians used what l have called aerial

WILL COUNTY BE DRY" ?
Attorney General Hart Of Georgia Is
Working on the Question.

Atlanta. June 14-tspecial)-If new
county is carved out of a dry county
is the new county bound to be dry?
That is the latest query propounded
to Attorney General Hart and is de-
eIdedly the most novel which has been
received by him for sometime. He has
the matter under consideration and will
render an opinion on the subject within
a short time.
The prohibition question comes from
Dolly county which has been voted dry
recently and which is one of the large
counties In south Georgia which has
been marked out for carving" when the
eight new counties proposed for Georgia
become realities. 1t seems that the prohl-

ton of creating this county. The prohibit

and dry while the "antis' will seek to
have a new county made and allowed to
