TO Be
IN PITTSBURG
FORMER CHAMPION WILL MEET
SAM BERGER AT SMOKY CITY
TUESDAY NIGHT

Now that Jim Jeffrlees has positive
ly declared that the last thing he will
do in this Life will be to beat johnson,
there ds increased interest in MS ap.
pearance in Pittsburg next Tuesday
night with Sam Berger. That thee six
rounds he is to go with the former
amateur heavy weight champion will
be the most severe tryout the big boil
ermaker has yet had is now conceded
on all sides.
When JEFF retired from his alfalfa
farm and gave heed to the call of tae
footlights and the glare Of the public
press he was so hog fat that It would
have been next to impossible for him
to stand on his feet in a ring for e.gh-
teen minutes, or in other words six
rounds. But since that he has been
faithfully at work and every day late
ly has gone three rounds VITA Berger
in public.
There is a question in the minds OF
mnay whether he can so the six, or
twice as many as he has becn accus,
toned to. He cannot afford to stall
for even minute, as there will be
newspaper correspondents present
from all over, and the Slightest slow.
ing up will cause these gentlemen to
spread the news far and wide that
big JEFF is not there"
A New York sporting writer here
on Saturday seemed to size the thing
up about right. He said:. st doesn't
much matter who JEFF goes against
here. We know that he couldn't have
gone six rounds against a bantam
three months ago." Row what every.
body wants to see is If he has improv.
ed enough to go sly rounds against
anybody, and they want to see how he
dcss IT."

New Brunswick Man Convict
ed Of Keeping DisorderIy
House Loses On Appeal.
COMMENT IS JUSTIFIED
special to tAs RVBNINo NEWS.


Trenton, June 15:-The court of err
rors and appeals, having by an opinion
written by Justice Swayze affirmed the
conviction of James e. Callahan, the
latter will now be compelled to serve
a prison sentence for keeping disor-
derly house in New Brunswick. Callas
han was convicted some time ago and,
after considerable delay, the case was
finally argued in the supreme court
where the conviction was affirmed.
From the supreme court the case was
then carried TO the court Of appeals.
The ground Of the appeal upon which
Callahan attempted to have the verdict
against him set aside was that the trial
Judge, in his charge to the jury, called
of the defendant to 20 upon the stand
as a witness in his own behalf
After reciting the evidence put in at
the trial to show that Callahan was
maintaining disorderly house, Justice
Swayze' 3 opinion says that the facts
presented, II believed by the jury, were
conclusive proof that the house was dis
orderly. In order to convict the de-
fendant it was necessary to prove i'd
addition his knowledge, and this could
IDe proved only py CIRCUMSTANCES
The opinion concludes as followss
''1We think that when it is proved that
man is the owner and in control Of
house of this character where acts such
as described take place at time when
he is in the house, and he is present in
one room when men and women are
present, and then leave the room and

pears that he is an unmarried man and
has four women of the character PROV

house, or at any rate there at midnight

ence of knowledge on his part If so,
his failure to deny knowledge justifes
the comment made by the Judge in this
ease The Judgment should be afRrms
