JEFF WILL NOT MEET KAUFMAN
Champion Does Not Take the Brady
Advertising Offer Seriously.
(By Tad)

New York. Nov. 17.-Jim JeflrleS
and Al Kaufman viii not meet That
was decided yesterday when Jeff told
the newspaper men that Kaufman and
his hackers were looking for little
advertising. Kaufman'S S manager hero
III New York deposited $4,000 yes
terday with a we'll known sporting
man up town. which was TO be handed
TO Jeff II he would agree TO box the
big blacksmith ten rounds There
were no strings upon the money: all
JEFF had to do was to agree to fight.
and then. II he cared to. he could have
$4,000 upon the side as a bet
Kaufman's manager declared that.
as JEFF wanted TO try himself out and
had declared that he was going to
meet all comers on stage tour. this
was a fine time TO make a little easy
money, and offered the $1,000 as a
bonus if he would fight in ninety days
item.
Sam Berger declared that the So.
600 WAS phony. that no one had II and
that the whole thing was a cheap ad
The Kaufman people declared that
the money was up, and the best way
to prove 1t was for JcffricS TO declare
himself and get the dough. They said
they had offered TO bet him over six
months ago. but the money was never
covered "If he really intended to
fight he'd grab this chance said the
backer. But the truth is this John
son match Is all bunk for a long the
atrical tour They Will never fight
Berger swears that they arc treat
Ing Jeffries wretchedly by such talk
and that JEFF and Johnson will surely
fight.

ed families.
Funerals of eight miners, killed
Saturday were held today.
TWO died while carving on rescue
work Part of the squad of miners

terry
The belief was expressed by Mine
Manager Taylor that men in the mine
died soon after the disaster on Sat
urday. Taylor has repeatedly risked
his life to get into the mine and yes
terday almost perished when he
wandered 200 feet from the main shaft
and returned just in time to see the
re-kindled flames eating their way to-
ward the cage-his only means OF es-
cape.
Every man In that mine died on
the day of the fire" said Taylor.
There is no reason in the world. why
anyone should try To arouse false
hopes In the minds of these poor
people.
1T is a mistaken idea. that the en-
tombed miners could have fastened
far out in the galleries OF the mine
and there found oxygen enough to
keep them alive for the day.
TESTS showed that on the day Of
the fire the air current in the mine
had a velocity OF six hundred feet
minute. The longest gallery In the
mine is three quarters of a mile. The
fire in the mine was intense and the
smoke and poisonous gases known to
miners as white damp were whirled
to every corner. No living thing could
survive IL.

It is not merely question of sen.

San Fernand valley. only ten miles
from Los Angeles, AS it Is JeGf's

To Jeffrles ranch life appeals most

used to every whlm of climate in the
San Fernando valley. The water
there agrees with him perfectly. He
Is thoroughly familiar with the lay
of the land in his native haunts and
could there do the necessary road
work to the best advantage.
Jeflries, however, does not intend
to slight his training In any way
from the natural tendencies Of home
life While he may spend half his

rigorous course Of gymnasium
work He will erect n gymnasium
of large proportions. with every mod,
