Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 27.-Jack Cox,
the Australian middleweight who ar.
rived in Los Angeles Tuesday after
noon, has shed some light on the pro-
posed fight between Jim Jeffries and
Bill Squires, heavyweight champion Of
Australia. Cox doesn't think it at all
likely that Squires can be persuaded
to come to America, notwithstanding
the rumors Of big purses of real money.
If Cox talks right there is not much
Of a chance for Jeffries to meet the
antipodean wonder. It is case of Jim
going toward the antarctic if fight he
must. Cox said: "Squires is a wealthy
man who likes the fighting game for
the sport there is in it, not for the coin.
Down our way certain American fight
promoters stand in bad odor-so much
so that men like Squires could not be
induced to go to the states merely for
purse.
:" If Jeffries will 90 to Australian he
will get square deal and good fight.
but doubt whether Squires can be
persuaded to. leave there even for the
biggest purse

WHEN WASHINGTON
WAS HARD UP

The Philadelphia Inquirer has found
in the recently published letters OF
George Washington to his private sec
rotary, evidence that in the days of our
first President there was "as much
complaint about the cost of living and
the wages and incapacity of servants
as in the Philadelphia of today. The
difficulties which Washington found in
getting his moneys worth, and making
his salary cover his expenses, are told
in the Inquirer:
Washington accepted $50. 600 year as
President on the assumption that it
would just about pay his expenses in
maintaining the dignity of the nation.
He seems to have supposed that he
could get along like any private
citizen.
He was soon undeceived. In the let
tiers mentioned the President pours out
the agony of his soul because Of the
exactions made upon him because Of
his position. He says that he can not
live as well as the ordinary citizen on
81. 500 or $4,000 year. nor. entertain SO
much nor SO well taside from state
dinners) as these private gentlemen.
Every one cheated him. He paid ex-
orbitant rent, it cost him enormously
for furniture, provisions, servants, and
travel.
It is commonly said that Washing
ton was the richest man of his day;
but most of his property was unpro-
ductive. In fact, the Father of his
Country was hard up most Of the time.
His servants, stewards, and ofHcious
friends were extravagant to a degree.
He had to hire double the requisite
mum Der of servants, whom he declared
to be the most expensive and incom-
petent ever known; his slaves tried to
leave him and he desired to hire
short, squat dutch servants at every
vacancy, but was anxious to make a
close bargain with them. His planta-
ton at Mount Vernon did not pay ex-
penses because he was continually rob-
bed. If he sold grain or tobacco he
got the lowest price, and sometimes
never got the money promised. His
tenants refused to pay rent on farms,
both in Virginia and Pennsylvania, his
houses in Alexandria went to rack.
His lands in the West were unstable
at any price. Moreover all friends and
many strangers were constantly desir-
ing to borrow money at times when he
was behind in his bills
