JEFFRIES TOLEAVE
The RING FOREVER
Says His Wife Does Not APP
prove of Practice
He ALSO QUITS THE STAGE
The Big Fisater VIII Go to California
and Engage In the Mining
Business With His
Brother.
He ALSO QUITS THE STAGE

Cincinnati, May 2-James j. Jeffrles,
champion heavyweight pugilist, will re-
tire from the prize ring and from the
stage and go into business with his broth
er, Jack, in California, according to a
statement made by him today to the
Times-Star He will leave the stage on
May 15, arrangements having been made
to cancel all engagements after that date.
Jeffries takes this action at the request of
his wife. In addition to this, Jeffries says
pugilism does not pay.
Immediately after his weeks engage
ment in Cincinnati in the role of Davy
Crockett, Jeffries will go to Chicago and
fill an engagement of one week there.
This will be his last public appearance.
One week from next Monday in Chicago
is the time set by him today for his per-
manent retirement as fighter and ac-
tor. This afternoon Jeffries received
word from Klaw & Erlanger releasing him
of all his theatrical contracts and en-
gagements. This action was taken at
the request of Jeffries, who then made
the following statement to a Times-St
reporter:
Europe with my wife, after which l am
going into the mining business with my
brother, Jack, and 1 shall hereafter de-
vote my time to it. The principal rea-
son for my retiring from the ring and
the stage is that my wife objects. That
has been the controlling influence In
reaching this determination. L have de-
cided to quite for all time. The last fight
l had in San Francisco was fairly well
patronized, and although l won the big
end of the purse. there was but little In
1t for me. | have determined, along with
my wife, that it is not worth while to go
into the ring any more. The public is
tickle | am well provided with this
worlds goods and | am done with it all.
Billy Delaney is also well fixed and he
will also retire from the business with
me. When my engagement ends in Chi
cago one week from next Monday l shall
make my bow as public character, and
shall never again go either on the stage
or in the prize ring"

Typos Give Testimony.

San Antonio. Tex. May 2.-Seyeral
members of the local typographical
union testified before the federal
grand jury today in the lottery cases.
Under the rule the character of the
testimony could not be disclosed, but
it is understood their testimony was
for the purpose of establishing the
identity of persons who had them en-
ployed by the proprietorship of the
lottery recently turned up here by the
federal officers. 1t probably will take
two more days to sift all the evidence
in the case.

Brazos River Overlooking.

Houston, Tex, May 2.-The Brazos
river is flooding the bottom lands all
along the valley from Hearn south to
Richmond and rising slowly at the
latter place. The water is foot and
half deep in the town of Columbia,
near the mouth, and has spread over
a considerable area of farm land.
The damage is greatly lessened by
the warming, which enabled the farm
ers to get their stock out. but the loss
to cotton and corn will amount to
many thousands of dollars. The other
rivers are apparently at a stand.

HERDING THE BOYS.

The statement in Saturdays East
Oregonian that in order to keep a
number of the larger class of school
boys away from saloons, it had been
necessary for the school clerk and
other officers to make systematic
search of all the saloons, will be a
surprise to many who have hereto
fore been friendly to the liquor traf-
fic.
Instead of obeying one of the
plainest and most vital laws of the
state and city many of the saloons
are so persistent in breaking the law
that it is necessary for the school dis
trict to be at extra expense and trou-
BILE to watch the saloons, and keep
minors away from them.
This should be evidence enough for
any fair-minded man that the liquor
traffic is devoid of respect for law.
1t is not enough to permit gambling
in their buildings, to keep wide open
on Sunday to furnish whiskey time
and time again to known habitual
drunkards, but the school district must
take active steps to prevent the whole
sale dissipation of boys yet in their
teens.
And yet there are citizens who pro-
fess the greatest loyalty to the city
who are afraid to raise their voice
for fear of losing trade. The trade
which will be held by this cowardly
policy is Insignificant compared to
that which will be lost to the city by
school patrons moving to Milton,
walla walla or other cities where
moral surroundings are cleaner.
Pendleton business men have just
taxed themselves 100000 for three
magnificent school buildings which
are a credit to the city and state.
Now if they permit moral conditions
to drive prospective school patrons
away this great expenditure of public
funds will not bring in its full reward
TO the community.
