LOST MONEY ON
 BRINGING JIM JEFFRIES HERE

Billy Hogan. the well known promo tor of sporting p65times is a. consider able loser in hfStKentnre of bringing James J. sJeHr1es~to tff7s city Tor q SIX partner, Sam Berger. Stories without any foundation in fact were set af1oat for the purpose of throwing cold water
 upon the efforts of Hogan who has ever been a daring and aggressive worker in any movement in which he has been enlisted. He has been willing to take chance and give the public of this city an opportunity of seeing the best that can be had and there are always those who go out of their way to maliciously injure his entertain meuts.
 In order to secure Jeffries for Bridge port he had to give a guarantee of con- siderable magnitude as the big fellow and his retinue jumped from Pittsburg to make this city. Now that it is all over it may be news to the sporting fans of this town to know that Hogan was offered a nice bonus over .and above what expenses he had gone to if he surrendered his contract with Jeff rieS and allowed one of the big cities in Pennsylvania to have the local date Hogan rejected the offer and wired Jefries' manager that the big fello~ would have to come here on the date agreed in the contract.
 Perhaps in view of the attitude of certain individuals toward Hogan he would have been justified in cancelling the Jeffries date here and protect him self but he was too game to think of a thing like that Following the bo>Sts last night Jeffries and Berger visited an hour there. The big fellow told Hogan he admired his spunk and said in view of what he heard after arriv- ing here he was glad he came and that been nobody in the house but the news paper men.

There was a dull today in the activi- ties of the police in their search for

 Deputy Sheriffs Plumb and Stagg are convinced that the demented man arrested in Stratford on Wednesday has some crime or terrible accident on his mind, and that his mind is in such a condition that nothing can be learn ed concerning his whereabouts for the past two weeks. The sheriffs know he has been roaming through the coun- try. He claims to live at 20 Bond street, Providence, R. T., and today partment went to Providence. It is hinted that he made the trip at the request of the town of Trumbull for the purpose of learning all he can about the suspects antecedents.
 DOugherty, whose name was thought to be Clarity when he was first ar rested, was taken to the Dibble house yesterday and shown around s;fars tans purpose of seeing if he would say or do anything that would connect him with the crime. The sheriffs did not discuss the result of their visit, but they secured mittimus and placed the suspect in the county jail to await trial upon the charge of vagrancy.
