JACK JOHNSON
ALL TO The GOOD

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Jack Johnson,
the colored heavyweight champion,
who claims the worlds title because
of Tommy Burns refusal to meet
him, stopped Ben Taylor. one Of the
best English heavyweights, in the
eighth round of scheduled ten
round battle at Plymouth tonight
1t was Johnson's fight from the
very beginning. He said after the
battle heslet Taylor staNjust to give
the spectators run for their money.
The men fought for $500 side bet
and a percentage Johnson was far
too clever for his hard-hitting OPP
ponent, and not once during the
eight-round battle did Taylor land
more than a light jab on Johnson.
On the other hand, Jack had his man
in bad way many times. but always
let up on him when he saw he had
him going. In the eighth round,
however, Johnson shot terrific
right hook to the Jaw and Taylor
dropped like log.
The English fight experts who
have seen Burns in action claim that
Johnson is Burns master at ali
stages of the game. One of the best
known critics in London had the fol-
lowing to say:
johnson Is 100 per cent better
mar. than Burns. He is cleverer, can
hit harder and is just as cool under
fire

MINERS DEATH
(By Associated Press. J

JACKSON. Aug. 3.-The shooting
OF E. Krevo at his home on the Ken
nedy grade last night is one Of the
most cold-blooded murders in the
history of the county Krevo, who
lost his sight by blast some time
ago, was sleeping on mattress un-
der a tree at the side of his house.
The bullet entered his ear, killing
him instantly. From first reports
the case looked very much like sui
eide, but as there were no powder
burns and as no revolver could be
found. this theory was soon aban-
doned. The position of the body also
weakened the, suicide theory, for
when the officers arrived on the
scene, the mans arms were folded
across his chest.
Kate Krevo, the sister of the dead
man, tells several conflicting stories
of the shooting and may know a
great deal more than she has told
the officers Shortly after being
blinded by the blast Krevo received
ia large sum Of insurance money and
had planned going to the old coun-
try. About two weeks ago the sister
got possession Of over 5000 and
planned to elope with young Aus
trian named John Dabovich, but
there plans were upset, and it is
thought that when Dabovich is To-
Gated he may know something that
will throw little light on the case,
Katie Krevo is 16 years old.

SHELTER OWNERS
SEEK new TRIAL

VALLEJO, Aug. 3.--In the case Of
the state of California VS.. the Selby
Smelling and Lead company, which
has its works located at Vallejo
junction, the defendant has fled a
notice asking for a new trial.
The case was tried two years ago
in the superior court of Solano coun-
ty, in the nature of an application on
behalf of Solano county in the name
of the state for an injunction re-
Istraining the defendant from main
tanning nuisance, and judgment
was rendered in favor of the plain-
tiff. The restraining order, however,
was never enforced to the full ex-
tent, but the defendant was permit
ted to continue to operate its plant
to certain extent while making ex-
periments with certain devices desig-
mated to eliminate the obnoxious
fumes complained Of by the people of
Benicia and surrounding country.
Recently, however, Attorney J. j.
C. Gregory, special counsel for the
county, and District Attorney J. M.
Raines have caused the Injunction to
be enforced, and the smelling plant
was accordingly closed down. The
grounds given by the defendant as q
basis for new trial are irregularity
in the proceedings of the former
trial, insufIiciency Of evidence to
justify the decision and newly dis
covered evidence.

APPOINT PROXYl
FOR The CONVICT

NEW YORK. Aug. 8. The Social
ist Labor party decided today by the
appointment of proxy, to smooth
the way for its presidential candi-
date, Martin r. Preston, who is serv-
ing twenty-five years sentence in
the Nevada state prison at Carson
for manslaughter. This means that
the proxy, who is Comrade August
Gillhaus, will, If elected, be a proxy
president, condition that would
form a startling precedent in Aneri-
can political life.
The fact that Preston also is not a
native American and is under the
age required by the constitution for
presidential candidates are added OBJ
stacles, but there are not considered.
