that set everybody going again.
There was Il rush for room 4JI and a

calmly opened it. A porter, with a hose

Billy Delaney's Ne7o Candidate
For He0vy7oeight Ring
Honoys---His Record.
BY THOMAS r. CLARK.

There is n new heavyweight pugiliSt
In San Francisco who seems TO be
well worth watching. His name is ~
fesSional battle in San Francisco re-
Gently ill such beautiful and finished
form that California critics are prais-
ing him 10 the skies.
Even with due allowance for the en-
thusiasm that bubbles and gushes over
every performance of a native SON."
the cold record of fact shows that
Kaufman fought like a veteran. There
is fair ground for hope that he will
keep such men as Bob Fitzsimmons
Gus Rubin, Marvin Hart and George
Gardiner busy for awhile. The native
sons are already dreaming of seeing
him in the ring with Jeffries, the only
one"
The most promising thing about the
new wonder is that Billy Delaney has
taken him in charge. Delaney knows
his business. He has trained and han
died two men i'll his time--Jim Corbett
and Jim JeffrieS.
Kaufman is twenty-one years old
just the right age for big. healthy
fellow to begin his ring career. He is
the amateur heavyweight champion CT
the Pacific coast. That alone Is not
dazzling achievement, for fight con-
noisseurs remember that Jack Munrce
held that title for years before Jeffries
blew out his light with one puff; also
that Sam Berger, magnificent big
creature of 1872 pounds. held it last
year until little 1876 pound Bill Roden-
bach Of New York beat him with one
hand. so to speak.
1t was kauffman'S style rather than
the mere title that attracted Billy De-
laney's attention. During the year in
which he has been before the public
he has fought only six amateur battles.
Every one of these he has won in less
than one round. Sounds like the early
history of John l.. Sullivan. doesn't il,
except that John never wasted punches
on mere amateurs? But when Il man
blotS out all his opponents in such de-
cisive style il is sign that there is
good stuff in him, SO Delaney, who
has been growing fat and listless since
Jeff retired in disgust in finding no one
able to give him battle. at last hunted

FOUR MEN BREAK JAIL
NEGRO PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM
 COUNTY BASTILE.
Bored Way Through Wall and Used Blankets to Lower Themselves to Ground-Authorltaes
 Are In Pursuit,

It seems ironical that after a half dozen of the sharpest crooks in the country had made intellectual attempts to escape from the Montgomery Coun- ty Jail that four uneducated negroes should be successful in eluding the watchfulness of Sheriff w. R. Walters jail force.
 At 5 o'clock yesterday morning Night Jailer W. D. Hall made his last round of the jail preparatory to being re- lieved by Jailer P. M. McLemore. On reaching the second floor of the jail and on the northeast side of the build ing he noticed the cell occupied by Buss Banson, Henry Mallory. Prince Albert and B. Mack, negro thieves and burglars, empty.
 Jailer Hall made a hurried examina- tion and ascertained that the negroes had indeed escaped.
 The cell door leading into the corri- dor was open and 8 hole had been dug through the brick wall of the jail, just large enough for man to squeeze his body through. He alarmed the entire force of deputy sheriffs and JaHer Me- Lemore and sent a hurried telephone call to the Montgomery police station.
 A close examination brought to light a heavy piece of piping. with which the wainscoting of the corridor had been torn off. It was then an easy matter to take out enough bricks to enable the escape. On reaching the roof of the jail, the escapes tied their blankets together and, thus making a rope, let themselves down to the ground. The buggy of Deputy Sheriff 6. s. Belser was rolled to the corner of the high brick wall. separating the Jail from the government property and using this as a ladder, the negroes es- capped through the government build ing park.
 Notices of the escape have been sent out and every effort is making to re- capture the men.
 Banson is a yellow negro about 30 years old. six feet one or two inches in height and weighs 190 or POO pounds He is charged with robbery.
 Henry Mallory is a ginger cake coi- ored negro, height, five feet seven or eight inches and weighs between 14o and 15O pounds. He is charged with grand larceny.
 Prince Albert is a black negro six feet tall and weighs 175 or 1S0 pounds He Is a one-armed man and is charged with grand larceny.
 5. Mack is well known character in police circles of Montgomery. He claims to be deaf mute but the of- hcers have a suspicion that when Mack wants to talk he can articulate. He recently escaped from the city chain gang. He Is a yellow man, weighs between 140 and 15O pounds and is five feet six or seven inches tall. He is charged with burglary and grand lar ceny, having entered the house of Mrs. Ward few weeks ago.
 Night Jailer Hall made an inspection of the prison at o'clock yesterday morning. He says that everything was quiet at that time.
 Attempts at a jail delivery have been made within the past two years by Russell and Driscoll, white cracksmen. Walters Mccormack, white jewelry store thief, and more recently by less noted and experienced criminals,
