West Palm Beach. Fla, April 90
There is every indication that Joseph
Jefferson will recover Charles B. JEFF
ferson, IFS son, is confident, DR.. b. b.
Potter, his physician, is hopeful and
Mabel Bingham, the nurse, thinks the
worst is over.
The reports that Mr.. Jefferson was
suffering with pneumonia are untrue.
His illness is due to 0yer-exertion
while on a visit t o Hobe Sound. Add
ed to exhaustion, there was a general
weakness caused by indigestion from
With he suffered last spring. This all
ment returned and was in itself very
pronounced. Tuesday night. when
there was such a decided change for
the worse it came after days of fail

he told his son Frank, who was at his
bedside at that time, that he wanted

he appeared fearful of the end, he was
b first to say yesterday hat he would
recover and today he has been talking
cheerfully and asking that arrange
ments be made for his return to his
northern home.
From what DIR. Potter says the as
Surance of recovery came when Mr..
Jefferson was able to retain nourish-
ment. This favorable condition was
pronounced today when he called hour
ly for food and retained all given him.
Chicken broth was his diet for the
forenoon and this afternoon he has
taken tea, milk and toast.
At 4 o'clock he asked to be permitted
to sit up and his request was granted.
His is on the second floor of his
cottage, and only about fifty yards
from the ocean, which he so admires.
He did not tire and enjoyed the cool
breeze while chatting with tie nurse.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Jefferson
has been almost at the point of death,
DR.. Potter who lives at West Palm
Beach, two miles from the Jefferson
home, has not been constantly at the
bedside of his patient except during the
few hours Monday night when the
change for the worse occurred and was
called. Mr.. Jefferson revived to such
an extent that his physician felt JUST

Potter said to the representative of the
Associated Press at 1:3O tonight that

accented by his family as indicating
that the worse is over, and it came af-

AT THE HUNTERS CAMP
Secretary Loeb Heard the Story OF
the Killing of a Bear by the Presi-
dcnt-AII the Party Enjoying the
Recreation.

Glenwod Springs, Colo, April 20
royal sport in his hunt for Rocky
Mountain grizzlies is attested by Sec
rotary Loeb, who returned from the
camp late today, after having spent
last night with the Presidents party.
While the only game pulled down
thus far is a bear, shot by the Presi-
dent and a lynx Or bob-cat, shot by
DIR. Alexander Lambert, of New Yo:k,
there has been plenty of recreation.
Every day the dogs have followed
trails that looked promising, showing
that there are more bears to be fo:lnd
in the region @ being hunted. Camp
will not be moved until Saturday.
Then the party will settle on West d.
vide creek, within twenty miles of the
present camp, and four miles nearer
New Castle.
Secretary Loeb has told the story of
the killing of the bear. The dogs had
several times caught up with the beaC,
and had annoyed him until he was in
a vicious mood, when he was at bay
two or three members of the party,
including the President, came up with
the dogs. One dog had been killed aai
several others severely wounded, and
the grizzly was playing havoc with the
other dogs that were tantalizing ain
To save the dogs the President had TO
shoot hurriedly. Every sweep of the
bears paw bowled over a hound, and
rather than see any more of the pack
killed, the President took the chance
of shooting among the dogs at the
bear. He fired once and hit the ami
NAL in the shoulder. Firing again he
killed his game. He takes great pride
in his first trophy of the hunt.
The most important business be-
tween the President and Secre' ary
Loeb was in reference to appointments
that have been made. The President
signed the appointment of eco. e
Atkinson, Of West Virginia to be Judge
of the United States court Of claims.
as well as several pardon cases.

NOT A COLLIER WAS LOST
Japanese Missed Both the Quarry
and the DecOys-Black Sea Fleet
viii Not be Sent Out.

st. Petersburg, April 20.-5 p. m
1t is claimed here that Admiral Roj-
estvansky has not Over-stepped the
French rules of neutrality at Kamranh
occurring outside of territorial waters.
Rus STA has not been advised that Japan
has lodged a protest In Paris. The
charges of Russia's violation Of neu-
trality, coupled wit hthe revival Of tie
story taht Russia intends to send her
Black Sea feet through the Dardanel-
les and the report that the British
Mediterranean fleet has been sent to
the Aegean sea to head off the Russian
feet cause extreme irritation. The
Associated Press is again authorized
to state that Russia has no intention
of sending out the Black Sea fleet.
The admiralty officials are quite eiat-
ed over the receipt of news showing
that not a single collier despatched TO
the China sea through the straits OF
Sunda for the purpose of throwing the
Japanese off the scent when Admiral
R~ojestvensky passed through the
straits of Malacca fell into the haads
of the Japanese. Rojestvensky each
ed the straits of Malacca before the col
Tiers arrived at the straits of Suuda
and the Japanese then withdrew from
the latter straits, having missed both
the quarry and the decoys.
Tie admiralty is silent a. to wheth-
er Rojestvensky has left Kamranh
Bay.

JUD BRAHAM AND ALEX ROBERT SON, NEGROES, WILL BE HUNG ToMoRROW-BRAHAM IS ABSo- LUTELY CALM.

Although Jud Braham has only short time over twenty-four hours to live, un- less the Governor intervenes, which does not seem probable, the negro is absolutely calm. He is under sentence of death for killing his sweetheart Minnie Crenshaw at Pratt City about eighteen months ago, and the execution is scheduled to take place tmorrow morning in the county Jail yard.
 Alex Robertson, another negro, is also under sentence of death tomorrow for murdering a negro woman, and both he and Braham must expiate their crimes before noon. Braham says that he Is not afraid to die. He says he had rather be the first of the two to be hanged. His execution will probably take place be- tween 10:30 and II o'clock. Robertson will ascend the scaffold, which has once been rsed, between l. and 12 o'clock.
 Iraham has made all of his death ar arrangements. He has purchased a shroud and coffin from local undertaking firm The Rev. J. R. Saunders, teacher in the Selma university and schoolmate of the condemned man, will be with him until his death and will accompany the body of the deceased to his old home near Selma
