Malachy Hogan, the Chicago fisl
dopester. says this about Jeffries:
linn Jenries Is the next one to be
heard from. 1t won't be long before
the big fellow will be making an
nouncements as to what he intends to
do in the heavyweight class after hay
inc returned from foreign shores.
lust how much good the baths at
Carlsbad did will be unknown until he
shows some real training work. Ca
bIe dispatches from abroad kept stat
ing that ne was down To 225 pounds.
This is not much above his usual
weight. His wind, of course, will be
the factor in case he is once more go
ing after active ring honors.
Jeffrlcs has always been the sphinx
of the business except on his last
vaudeville tour, whore, for theatrical
purposes, he was widely interviewed.
making him appear a very laxative
person. In reality Jeffries only talks
when pressed to, Sam Berger doing
most of the conversation for him.
If the big fellow really decides to
get back actively In the ring harness,
ne will attain popularity greater
than he ever witnessed before. The
public has been clamoring for his APP
pcarancc and there can be no doubt
that ne would be warmly welcomed
During his active boxing days there
was considerable prejudice against
him on account of the fact that he had
a tremendous advantage in size and
weight over practically every man he
boxed. Bob lrtzsmmons was in his
prime at the time, meeting men far
heavier than himself, and as Jcffries
won the title from Bob. who was so
much lighter that il seemed ridiculous
to believe that they should meet. jeff
had a good deal of sentiment to con-
tend against. Public sympathy is gem
orally with the smaller man, and Fitz-
simmons was far more popular than
Jefries--even if Bob did made many
enemies, unknowingly, by some of his
peculiar ways.
This has changed now, and il JEFF
fries decides to get back i'm the ring he
will have a different sentiment greet
ing him from followers of the ring.

GOOD WORK DONE BY WOMEN
Positions Occupied by the GentIer Sex
In Banks Have Come to Be Of
Importance.

In addition TO the stereotyped duties
usually performed by men In a bank
many women have made new positions
for themselves. some as managers OF
women's departments. where they ex.
plain carefully and patiently the mys-
tories of banking to other women. to
whose minds anything that pertains
to finance seems quite as puzzling as
the black arts.
Such a woman. says the Bookkeep-
er. must know thoroughly every detail
of banking. for her duties will cover
a wide field--from making out chez
for some old lady to explaining the
uses of letter of credit to party
of school teachers contemplating their
first trip abroad.
other women have taken upon
themselves the work of making a per-
sonal canvass of the tenements for
the savings of the poor. thereby &C
complishing in addition to their duties
a very practical sort of charity in
teaching those who most need such
instruction something of the difficult
art of saving.

light on the life history Of a very mys-
FERROUS fish.
All kinds Of theories had been given
forth with regard to the propagation
OF the eel. Some naturalists declared
they bred in fresh water. others that
they visited the estuary for spawning
purposes, hut thanks to the discovery

ticaily certain that after mature cells

the sea and there deposit their eggs.
From the egg comes a little ribbon
shaped creature, the larval form. In
due course this changes into an eel OF
still smaller size, strange to say, and
these small GELS or elvers afterward
ascend our rivers and there remain
until they reach maturity, when they
in their turn descend to the sea and
history is repeated.

KETcHEL is CRITICISED.
Purchases New Automobile Convinc-
ina Some Fans of Fraud.


The appearance on the streets this
week of Stanley Ketchel in a big brand
new $4,000 auto has given rise to much
gossip, not complimentary to Kctchel
and his manager.
The fight fans, who didn't like the
theatrical finish of Ketchcls fight with
Johnson. and who believe that both
fighters posed for moving pictures, are
now using Ketchers purchase of "a
high priced auto as proof that there
was something crooked about the re-
cent fight 1t was well known That.
deducting a $4,000 side bet which he
lost, Ketchcl only received $1,000,
which would barely pay his training
expenses. 1t also was given out he
had lost all his ready money on his
lasting fifteen rounds.
Now, n few days after this fight, in
which he received so little money, he
buys a $4,000 auto. Britt will have to
do much explaining to remove the bad
impression made by Kctchels pur-
chase.

Philadelphia fans are pulling hard
for fight between Manager Hughcy
Jennings and owner Navin of the De-

because of the taking of Olmstead. The

he made this known to Comiskoy. but
on an appeal to the national commits

From Far and Near
Night Colleges.

From the New York World.-The
trustees of the City College have re
solved to establish next fall night
college for bright boys who must
work in the daytime for living. 1t is
an admirable innovation. The old
fashioned American college course
was laid out upon the analogy of sew
en- years spent in learning a trade.
The student was four years apprentic-
ed to learning to become a bachelor.
Three years more he practiced what
he had learned, like a journeyman in
trade, and then he was fully fledg-
ed master Of arts in course" His
four years in college allowed generous
vacations to teach in winter and work
in the bayfield, in summer. Under
the modern point system, with the
aid of summer sessions, any bright
boy can complete a college course in
three years. One year more in resi-
dence gives him masters degree

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.

Ii Speaker Cannon devoting some
Of his leisure to the question OF the
. committees Of the house? Only the
ways and means committee. the COM
mittee on rules and the committee on
mileage have been named. As the
tariff alone was to be considered at
this session. the speaker decided not
to hurry In the matter of the other
committees. He may announce their
membership near the close of this
session or at the beginning OF the
regular session In December.
This time. ay is known. the speaker
10 reverting to the old custom OF as
sinments. He will decide as to both
the majority and tho minority mem
berships OF all the committees. Demo
Gratis and republicans alike will con-
fer with him by his invitation as to
their wishes.
During the minority leadership OF
Mr.. Williams he had practically the
assignment Of the democrats to their
committee places. Not only we're his
relations with the speaker pleasant
personally, but he was not advocating
the taking Of the power Of assign
monts away from the speaker and
putting It into commission. In the Of
flee Of speaker he would have done
unto Mr.. Cannon what Mr.. Cannon

OF the speaker-and that is Mr..
Clark's contentiOn-why not In the
case OF the leadership OF the minor
ity? Mr.. Cannon Is doing unto Mr..
Clark as Mr.. Clark, through a COM
mission, would do unto him.
But will the democrats-at least
the great majority OF them-accept
Mr.. CAnnon's assignments unless Wis
ed BY Mr.. Clark. Will they insist
upon bestowing upon their leader as
respects themselves the power he
would withdraw from tho speaker?

We are not likely to see this power

there must be authority. That is ele-

Those who have noticed the frequent
reports of the appearance of japanese
spies in our midst during the last few
years will not be surprised to hear
that they have also turned up in the
Canal Zone. In fact, that was exactly
what might have been expected.
No large enterprise really seems un-
der way these days until it has Jap
anese spy lurking somewhere near.
Both contractors and workingmen
have grown so accustomed to his pres
ence that they grow quite peevish
when he is absent. and the enterprise
naturally tends to suffer in conse-
quence. If you see lot of working
men and foremen dallying discomfort
eddy at their work and making small
progress. it is, ten to one. because the
Japanese spy has oversight himself
and thus disarranged the whole bust
ness.
The dispatches from Washington
say that the War Department discred-
tied the report that there we're Japa-
nese spies on the isthmus on the
ground that they could get all the in
formation they wanted without resort
ing to such means. That shows how
little the War Department knows
about japanese spies. They had rath-
er not get the information at all than
get it in such an irregular way rs the
Department suggests.
The average man DESTROYS OF learn
ing how the excavations are getting
on. say. at Culebra, would naturally
go right to the spot. give a foreman a
cigar and talk the matter over with
him and watch the men at work. II
that didn't satisfy him, he would see
the officials on the isthmus or at
Washington. examine the records. and
then draw his conclusions. But NO
genuine. mark-blown-in-the-gla Jap
anese spy would lower himself by such
silly Occidental directness.
He would probably begin by skulk.
