WILLING TO MEET
BIG JACK JOHNSON
(By Robert Edgren) J

Willus Britt.-the irrepressible, is
east representing a wise little com
bination. One James Coffroth is on
the other end. The combination spells
trouble for Jack Johnson, the new
worlds champion heavyweight, and the
scene Of the difficulty will be at Col
ma. where johnson will be asked to
exchange wallops with Stanley Ket-
chel. Coffroth has offered $4,000 for
the match, and Britt, who travelled east
and annexed Ketchel has wired back
that Stanley accepts and will enter
the ring at lis pounds.
On the Pacific coast 1t is generally
believed that Ketchel Is the coming
champion. Some experts fear he Is
not quite ready to tackle Johnson
that ii would be better If he waited
year or two. but there are few who
Will not concede that he will some
LAY wear tho crown. The fact that he
lost to Papke in their first battle does
not count against him. He redeemed
himself in the second encounter He
is the greatest flghter-the real genu-
Inc article-thoy have seen on the
coast for some time, and all believe
that experience and time. with the
weight he is bound to pick up with
maturity, Will enable him to cope sue
cessfully with Johnson or any man in
the world.
Ketchel is a natural born fighter He
is a mixer. always ready to swap
punches. and confident that the one he
gives will do more damage than the
one he receives He will take punch
to land one. He has the strength and
pugnacity of wild beast and would
rather fight than cat.
Willus Britt-the same Willus who
discovered his brother was fighter
when the latter landed on his jaw dur
ing a quarrel at home-will steer
Ketchel up against Johnson Until
Britt took hold of Stanley he declared
repeatedly that he would not fight

Rainfall insufficient to
Cause Renewal of High
Water.

San Francisco. Jan. 24.-Despite
forecasts to the contrary, another
storm broke off this city and vicinity
today, rain falling at intervals. but
In no great quantity. The other sec
ton of storm swept an area in central
California. but the rainfall was not
enough to cause a renewal of high
water.
The Southern Pacific company has
reopened many of its routes blocked
by washouts and landslides and today
temporary repairs on the American
river bridge above Sacramento were
so far advanced that overland traffic
via Salt Lake IS now routed that way
The Sacramento local lines on the
west side of the river is still blocked
and the Stockton route is being used
The coast line is open to Santa Bar
bara. but blocked by a landslide near
Ventura Los Angeles traffic Is being
routed via Fresno and Mojave over the
Valley line.
In the flooded section about Stock
ton, Sacramento and Antioch condl-
tions are improving and unless thaw
sets in up in the foothill country no
further damage is looked for. At
Antioch the levee guards have sue
cessfully fought back the flood for
days and If they pass tomorrow with
out new breaks it Is believed that all
danger will be over.

tie anxious and nervous In his first
appearance. and in the second place
the man who stretched the canvas In
the ring got tired before he had done
his work properly.
The canvas was not stretched tight
y, and several times when Roller
luneed at his black opponent, his foot
slipped and the punch was spoiled.
Once Roller slipped to his knees from
this cause. Martin. as light as a kit
len on his feet. was not bothered so
much. But Roller digs his feet in
when he starts punch and the loose
canvas bothered him quite a bit.
Martin showed all kinds OF class
with both hands and feet, and Jim
Corbett himself never did any prettier
footwork than big Ed did last night
Roller was at a disadvantage In show
ing against such clever man as Mar
tin, and this fact must be taken into
consideration when sizing him up. He
would have looked much better had he
been facing Kaufman, Schyeck or Hart,
for none of those fellows compare
with Martin In the matter of clever
ness.
Russ Hall, who has probably seen
as many battles as any man in Seat
tie, watched Roller with a good deal

ler with the gloves on, and admitted
after the show that he did not expect
to see much Of boxer. "All Roller
needs is to learn to Judge his distance,
and he will be a mighty hard man to
beat" said Russ. AT times he start
ed his blows before he got within
reaching distance, and a clever man
like Martin makes him look foolish.
But Roller looks like a fighter TO me,

Roller floored Martin in the second
round. and in the fourth round he
landed a stiff punch to the body that
slowed Ed down quite a bit At the
end of the sixth round Roller looked
as fast as Martin, and had the bout
gone six more rounds, It is tossup
which man would have won. Referee
Gleason tossed both hands in the air,
signifying thar it was a draw, and
there was not a murmur from the
crowd.

WHITE PLAGUE" MAY CHEAT GALLONS OF
 ARIZONA WOMAN

STOCKTON, Cal, Dec. 2O.- Though her second trial is set to be- gin a few weeks hence, it now ap- pears to be matter of doubt wheth- CT Mrs. Emma Le Doux, convicted of one of the most sensational murders ever committed in California, will ever again nave to face a judge and jury. She formerly lived in Bisbee, Arizona. During the four years she has spent in jail, a part of the time under sentence of death, the woman has been gradually failing in health and now appears to be in the last stages of consumption.
 At the time of her first trial Mrs. Le Doux was but thirty-two years of age and possessed of more than Ordi- nary good looks. Born and reared in the foothills of the Sierras, she developed early into comedy woman hood and had many admirers. At 16 she married Charles Barret, whom she divorced four years later 10 marry William Williams, with whom she

lawyer, possessing great OraUOrieal ability. Like all the Morrisons, from father to son, he was always actively interested in politics, and has always aided in advancing the cause of the Republican party in Arizona. About four years ago he moved to Bisbee, having been invited to become the attorney for influential people in the southern part of the Territory, and since his appearance in Southern Ari- zona has become noted not only in the practice of law in the United States but also in Mexico.
 In the Cameron campaign he took very decided interest and stumped the greater portion of the Territory with Cameron. Upon the election of the Republican delegate, it was agreed that Morrison should be a can didate to succeed the incumbent of the office of United States Attorney, upon the completion of his term which occurred on December 15.
 Morrison's trained legal qualities and general aequaintanceship throughout the Territory qualities him in every way to fill this position which he will do with honor to him self and credit to the National ad-
 .. ly disposition, and his integrity is of the same sterling character found in other members of the family.
 This appointment was made at the request of the Territorial organization of the Republican party, and will re- suit in great advantage to the party in coming campaigns, and especially on the question of separate statehood.
