DELANEY SAYS
JEFF is BROKE
Champion all in Financially
Wife Wants Him to
Fight Again

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Jim JEFF
fries the champion heavyweight of the
world, is broke, poor business man,
and his wife wants him to go back to
the fistic arena for more of the "neces-
sary." This is the latest story re-
garding the big fellow to come to the
ears of his admirers in the East. Billy
Delaney, chief engineer of Jim's pugil-
istic campaigns, is responsible for the
report.
Delaney. while exchanging yarns
with a number of Broadway reliables
today came across with the following:
There is no truth in this talk about
Jeffries being we'll fixed. He has not
got a cent in the world he can call his
own. With opportunities lying around
on all sides, he absolutely refuses to
come out in the lime light. On the
money question Jeffries is as simple as
schoolboy. He loses every financial
enterprise that he goes into.
THAT ranch of his cost at least $1O,-
600, and does not produce enough al
falfa during a season to keep a Shet-
land pony in feed over night and,
what's more, he owns very little
part of the ranch in his own right.
Most of it belongs to his wife.
Wants Jeff to Fight Again.
Contrary to repute, Jeff's wife is
anxious to have her husband go back
into the fighting game. It's the big
eo1 /,
Why, Jack Johnson has offered to en-
ter the ring with Jeff for lump sum
of $4,000. They could easily draw
100000 house, and the champion would
get practically all the purse.
GAS much as he needs the money,
he will not consent to fight when it
comes to a showdown. He had given
me and Jimmy Coffroth and Eddie
Ganey his consent to fight again, but
when 1t came to the real arrangements
for a match there was nothing doing.
JEFF had practically consented to
hook up with Tommy Burns for e $780,
900 purse before a fight club IN Reno.
but at the last minute he wanted $50
900. He can whip anybody in the
world, but just simply lacks the am
bition to get before the public and
make money. He runs his cafe IN his
own small way, and is willing to let
it go at that.
That gambling debt of $4,000 that
jeff contracted in Reno, when he went
there to referee the Hart-Roo light,
still remains unnaid He has had a
thousand chances to work off that
debt by re-entering the ring, but has
passed them all up, The only chance
of Jeff's fighting again is the appear
ance of some foreign wonder who
threatens to carry the title away from
the United States. That possibility is
now very remote"

FIGHT SALE OF CEMETERY.
beatty Heirs object TO Proposed Con-
version Into Fairgrounds.

Protest against converting the old
Presbyterian burying cemetery. west Of
Wisconsin avenue. Georgetown, into a
public playground, is made to the Com
missioners by the heirs Of Charles A.
Beatty who, in 1904, dedicated the land
TO the Presbyterian congregation, the
Lutheran church, the Calvinists, and the
Church OF England. The cemetery was in
use from 1906 TO 1885. and in II are inferred
the bodies Of the members of many promi-
nent families of old Georgetown. It was
abandoned as a burying ground In 1895, at
which time many Of the bodies were re-
moved TO other cemeteries.
Protest against its sale as a playground
is made upon the grounds that the pres
ent owners have no power to convey title
to the land for the reason that II was
donated for use as burying ground, and
providing that at any time It should
ceased to be used as such, it should re-
vert to the heirs Of the donor; and also
that the offer TO sell the land is made
without a clause requiring the District
government to remove the bodies Of the
dead or to provide for their re-interment
in other cemetaries.

ONLY HEARD
 THE MESSAGE
Both Congressional Houses Adjourned Thereafter
A Sign In the House of Early Action On the Cur rency Question.

Washington, Dec. S.-The annual message ot Roosevelt was read today \ia both houses of congress. Practical ly nc business was attempted by either body beyond listening to the message. The galleries of both the senate and the house were crowded at the begin ming but as the reading progressed the attendance diminished somewhat. The senators and members were supplied with printed copies and many followed the reading clerks with scrupulous care. The reading consumed two hours and fifteen minutes in each house.
 In the senate so far, no bill has been introduced but there is scarcely sen ator whose desk is not well covered with documents. It is probable that the flood will break out tomorrow.
 Speaker Cannon treated the house to a surprise in announcing the member ship of the committee on bankinSand currency. This advance information regarding the committee led to the conclusion that it is his intention to press financial legislation, but those who are close to the speaker say his only purpose is to afford a depository for petitions and letters bearing upon the currency question. The member ship of the committee is increased by an addition of one democrat making seven members of that party on it in stead of six as during the last congress.
 This is in accordance with the re- quest of Minority Leader Williams but it is expected that it is not to be taken as an indication that the rule be com piled with in the other committees.
 Both the senate and the house ad- journed almost immediately after the conclusion of the message. The house adjourned to Thursday when it is prob able it will again adjourn for the week.

THE OLIVER
 GRAND JURY
The End of the 100 Day
 Investigation
The Final Report a Scath- ing Arraignment of the Old Regime.

San Francisco. Dec. 3.-After having met on 100 separate days in which 115 sessions were held and having returned Al indictments involving fl persons, the Oliver grand jury, the most noted in the city's history, made its final re- port to Superior Judge Coffey this ev- ening and was discharged from further service by the court. In all 591 wit nesses were brought before the jury sembling on November 9th, 1906 and the final adjournment today. Most of the work has been concerned with in dictments for graft and bribery con nected with municipal affairs and the public utility corporations of San Francisco. The final report is a vol luminous document and says in part: ''To summarize completely the work undertaken and the matters investi- gated by the grand jury would swell this report out of all reasonable pro- portions. We cannot even outline the vast amount of evidence received. showing corruption and vice of the lowest kind. involving the greatest moral turpitude, such as the participa- tion of the former mayor of the city in profits earned by prostitution of the lowest of fallen women and which con- stitutes recital of seemingly inconceiv able sin. shame and violation of the law
