companies. The conviction carries
with it fine of $1,000 to $4,000 on
each count. Judge Mcpherson defer
red sentencing the defendant until
June %. All four counts are practic-
ally the same. The case of Armour,
on which instructions were read to
the jury, charged specifically that the

from Kansas City to Liverpool at a
rate of 25c per 100 pounds from the
Mississippi river to New Yc~I, where
as the regular rate at that time was
35cents. The Burlington admitted that
the rate made was 20 cents for the
distance named, or a rate of 40 cents
for the whole distance from Kans as
City to Liverpool, but contended that
the only crime, if any, committed
was failing to publish the tariff under
the contract

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 25.-Bill
Squires, champion heavyweight Of Aus
tralia, is to be the first man to cross
arms with Jeffries in a finished battle
for championship Of the world for a
purse Of $4,000. The match between
Jeffries and the Australian will be ar
ranged today. Terms for the fight have
been dickered upon for some time.
F. G. Skinner, the fight promoter of
Rhyolite, Nevada, backed by Taylor, a
millionaire mine owner, is arranging
the contest, and has agreed to put up
the purse Of $4,000 which has interest
ed Jeffries. AS soon as articles for the
fight are signed and forfeits posted
Squires will leave his home in New
Castle, Australia, for this country.
Skinner wants the fight to take place
in May or June, and there seems to
be no reason why it should not take
place about that time.
Jeffries is said to be ready to fight
at any time. The only thing he insists
On is that the $4,000 be put up, and
will not stand for any stage money.
Now that he has decided finally to
get back into harness, Jeffries is will
ing to talk nothing but fight. He looks
at Squires as pretty easy money for
him.
