Johnson as Seen From Pugisfc Standpoint

In the minds of a great many of
those who follow the game of fsticuffs
closely, the big Californian will have
more than a hard task to fit himself
for a strenuous battle, despite the fact
that he declares he will be able to do
so. There are many reasons why the
fans are on the anxious seat at the
present time, and are fearful of the re-
suit of the conflict on Independence
day. The most important of these is
the reports which have been coming
day after day from the cities where
Jeff was performing his theatrical
contracts. These reports have had
him suffering from various ailments,
principally colds and lumbago and no
effort seems to have been made to
"cover up the fact that Jeff is in bad
physical condition.
JEFF Must Be in Condition.
Jeffries, as we'll as anybody else,
knows the strenuous training program
ahead of him and he also knows that
he must be in good condition if he is
to knock chat black man, Jack John
son, off the throne he now occupies.
That is Jeffs ambition and it is the
ambition of the majority of fight fans
to see him turn the trick.
But there is no gainsaying the fact
that the reports of Jeff's poor condition
have served to arouse more doubt
than before existed in the public's
mind as to his ability to lick the ne
gro. 1t is true that the Californian
has been training while on the road in
an effort to get into better condition,
but it is doubtful if the benefit he has
gained through such activity has Off
set the ailments which he has incurred
by jumping from city to city for his
theatrical contracts
AS a financial proposition this the
atrieal work is certainly reaping a
harvest of golden sheke1s for the man
who is to face the negro but those
who want to see jeff defeat Johnson

confidence. then they will be satisfied
to- bet their money on him. -- is-es- y
With this confidence lacking it
would not be a hard thing for even
those who admire Jeffries to switch
their allegiance to the negro and there
are a great many who doubtless would
not allow their admiration to stand in
the way of better judgment when it
comes down to the real fight. Jef'S
success as drawing card as an actor
is not questioned. but if he is not in
the condition of his 1ife'' next July
it will not be hard for those to remem-

same people might change their minds
about attending it. And there is
where the promoters would receive a
jolt.
1t has been said before that condi-

white worlds champion or whether
black is to remain the ruling power.

OUT GOES THE VAUGHAN
Widow of King Leopold Quits Bel
GUM for Good.

Brussels, Dec. 21.-Baroness Waugh
an, whom Leopold made his queen in
fact, if not in name, has quietly left
Belgium, her reign ended, her power
collapsed. accepting the hint of the
government that if she did not depart
voluntarily she would be expelled
from the country.
The baroness packed up those mag
nificent furnishings OF her chateau
which were the personal gifts of King
Leopold and forwarded them across
the frontier. She herself took train
for France. To the Belgians this good
looking young woman with brown
hair and black eyes was always a
great mystery, but they accepted her
like they have the other whims of the
determined and self-willed king. They
have thought for years of her resi-
dence beside the kings, of the fam
GUS floral bridge linking the two do
mains. They have discussed with I'M
concern her absolute dominion over
the kings private life, yet, now with
the king dead, they have been driven
to deep resentment that as the kings
body was borne through the streets
and was lying in state at the palace
her photograph was exhibited and
sold in the Brussels thoroughfares
and her name shouted out by hawkers
as Caroline, the Queen
In spite of the dispatches from
Italy and other countries asserting
King Leopold and Baroness Vaughan
had been married according to the
rites of the church, the kings personal
friends persist in their disbelief, while
they characterize the stories of a
civil union as pure nonsense. They
say Leopold. whatever his faults in
private life, would never destroy the
official dignity of the kingdom.
The semi official twentieth Gem
tury'' points out that the Belgian code
stipulates that the rights of success
sion to the throne pass to direct de-
| scendants of legitimate birth. If
there was a civil marriage in Italy, it
| might create potential rights, but. it
| is argued, the absence of all records,
| all publication of such a ceremony,
especially the fact that Leopold never
proclaimed Baroness Vaughan his le-
Ultimate wife, effectually disposes of
the question.
Prince Albert's happy plan to re-
unite the eXiled and separated family
has been filed. As Baroness Waugh
an passed out forever, from Belgian
| life, Princess Louise triumphantIy en-
tered the city and was officially greet
| ed and acclaimed by the people. She
was conducted with regal honors to
J the Chateau Belvedere, which hence
forth will be her official home.

BOY JAIL BREAKERS CAUGHT.
Cold Weather and Bad Roads Made
Escape Impossible.

Oberlin, Kan, Dec. 21.-Harry Stone
and Roy Dempsey, who broke jail
here by overpow ering the sheriff's IA
year-old son as he brought them their
supper Thursday night, were captured
in the northern part of this county
near the Nebraska line. These two
young men had been serving a sentence
for petty larceny for having broken
into a hardware store and stolen
number of pocket knives and guns
Owing to the fact that the court
wished to allow them chance to re-
form and straisshten up, they were all
lowed to plead guilty to charge of
petty larceny and were sentenced to
the county Jail for 60 days.
While they were serving their SEN
tence they assisted the sheriff in re-
modelling the court house and when
they were about to leave the sheriff
took precaution to look into their
grips where he discovered that they
had secreted i quantity of material
they had PICKED UP in the different
offices in the court house.
When this was discovered they were
tried on another count and again put
in jail. Thinking that they would be
put in the pen the boys overpowered
the young son of the sheriff and es-
tcapedsz 0Wings sthe4 adeeonditio at
the roads and the stormy weather, they
were unable to get very far away be-
fore the sheriff captured them.
