TOMMY BURNS
CLAIM TO TITLE
Jack Johnson Will Be Hard
Man for Present Fighters
to Defeat.
BY w. D. RisAEL.

Since the retirement of James ]. JEFF
fries from the ring there has not been a
real heavyweight champion. although the
honor was generally conceded to Tommy
Burns, principally through the persistent
claim of Tommy 10 the title. When Tommy
grabbed that tWenty-round decision from
Marvin Hart at Los Angeles It brought
him before the public, but Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien claimed the honor at this
time by his defeat of Al kaufman. Then
came the memorable battle between
O'Brien and Burns. in which Tommy
double-crossed OBrien and got away
with another twenty-round decision.
Tommy at once laid claim to the title
and since that day has been travelling
around the world running away from
every man who was capable of giving him
a fight.
In America today there are a number
of fighters who, il is believed would give
Burns a hard fight They are Stanley
Ketchel. Sam Iangford. Al kaufman, Jim
Barry and Hugo Kelly. OF these named
the first two would probably be strong
favorites over Burns and the last three
would enter the ring on even terms in the
betting. Hugo Kelly has two draws with
Burns now. Mike Schreck Jack O,Brien
and Jack Twin Sullivan defeated him. Yet
with these conditions Burns has for
months Travelled in foreign lands claim
ing the title thrown aside by Jeffries.
Johnson Real Champion.
Jack Johnson has been considered the
best man in America next TO Jeffries,

600, and for 1904 they were 1851 ,000, 900.
II will be seen from this that the clear
ings for the year are above the average
for the past five years, and that Salt
Lake City is growing rapidly in import
ance as a business center.
During the year the Salt Lake Sc
curity & Trust company bank increased
its capital to the extent of $4,000. A
new bank was also established in the
city-the Merchants. a state bank,

Generous Response to Appeal of The Journal Courier for Aid for Earthquake
 Sufferers.
MAYOR TO MEET COMMITTEE
Will Confer With Representative Ital- inns This Morning-NiOney for Red Cross Aid Coming
 from All Sides.

Remarkably generous response Is be- ing made to the appeal for contribu- tions to the Journal -Courier's Red Cross fund for the aid of the Italian earthquake sufferers The people of New Haven have lost not a moment in showing their substantial sympathy and yesterday s36l was subscribed, bringing the total received by this na- per up to 10 o'clock last evening to s791
 At haf-past ten last evening Treas urer Samuel Hemingway, of the New Haven division of the American Red Cross. reported that he received yes. terday total of sl3s. This makes the whole amount received through this paper and the Red Cross s927, and 1t will probably pass the thousand dollar mark early this morning.
 As announced in the Journal-Courier yesterday, many of the organizations of the city are making plans for the as- sstance of the sufferers from the earthquake. President Warren of the chamber of commerce stated on his re- turn from New York last night that the chamber will not do anything as a body just yet but will assist the Red Cross Individually: later on they may take some action toward appropriatins funds. Mir. Warren stated that If 1t Is the general opinion of the citizens that the chamber should organize this work they will do so.
 The Italian societies of the city have already sent quite substantial sums to Italy, and house to house canvass of the city Is being planned by Vinccnzio Nicolosi, president of the Trinacria so- ciety, as the Red Cross solicits funds

DR. JEWETT IS DEAD Prominent Physician Passed Away Yesterday Afternoon
 from Typhoid Fyver. DEATH WAS NOT EXPECTED Was n Thirty-second Degree Mason and Member of Many Other
 Fraternal Orders.

The announcement of the death yesterday afternoon of Dr, J, Waldo Jewett came as distinct shock to his many friends in the city, as he was not thought to be In critical condi- ton until yesterday and even then his condition was not considered danger ous.
 The cause of Dr. Jewett's death was typhoid fever, with complications AL though he had not felt entirely well since early in November, he was really III until the first week in De- cember. when he had high fever. For this he treated himself for a few days, and then called in Dr. Henry Sage, who diagnosed the alment as typhoid fever For the first time In his life, Dr. Jewett then took to his bed on account of illness, on Decem- her 12. The fever ran it's course for about twenty-one days and then left him and he was thought to be we'll on the way to recovery. He did not improve, however, during the last three days, and to-day his heart gave out, Stmulants were administered, but were of no avail.
 Dr. Jewett was born in New Haven on March 30, 1854, and was thus in his 6fty-hfth year. His father was Joseph R. Jewett, native of Connec- ticut, and hIs mother was Sarah Page Gushing Jewett, and native of Mas sachusetts.
