effect that it was manifestly unfair
to pit the gigantic negro against SO
small an opponent, it is said that Ket-
chefs weight was given out at 176.
when as a matter of fact he did not
scale more than 16s. according to the
information reaching this city, and
that Johnson weighed more than 2O9
pounds, which gave him an immense
il not iusurmountable advantage. BY
announcing that Johnson weighed 1875
and Ketchel 176, more interest was
excited in the fight than would have
been shown if the alleged real weights
of the men had been disclosed. East
ern sporting men are awaiting the
fight pictures to personally Judge the
size Of the two men.

feature of the convention Of the In
dian Rights Association here, today,
was the address of r. G. Valentine,
commissioner of Indian affairs.
Mr.. Valentine said in part
eThe people Of the United States
ought TO know certain things about
their Indian bureau They know to-
day too little about the two or three
fundamental principles in the light Of
which all the multiform activities Of
the Indian service fall into well order
ed array in an advance toward single
goal. In the minds OF most people the
Indian service is a mere hodgepodge Of
activity. Indians are going to this or
that kind of a school, being allotted,
raising stock. working in the woods
learning to irrigate. drawing per CAPT
ia payments in some cases and rations
in others, owning banA accounts Of all
sizes from few dollars TO many thous-
ands, going to church and engaging in
pagan rights, dealing shrewdly with
traders or becoming an easy mark for
them, developing all kinds Of diseased,
getting drunk and even keeping sober.
loafing and making some of the best
workmen the United States possesses.
All these various activities are kept in
further confusion by the kaleidoscope
charges introduced by the rapidly de-
veloping economic and social life of
the white people scattered more and
more around and through the Indian
This apparent chaos in Indian af-
fairs is only true specifically It is
for the people at large to
understand what the fundamental prin
cipals governing the bureau are in or

surface and to demand of the Indian

FINALLY, one great force, perhaps

men there existed different moral

themselves and the Indians. Men who
would not think of stealing from white
men apparently consider it no crime to
steal from Indians. This must be cor

SAM BERGER TALKS OF
JEFFRIES' PRONEsS

Chicago. Oct. 20 Jeifries will meet
Johnson just as soon as details for a
bout can be agreed on; and he'll knock
Jacks head off. sure"
This was the prediction made by
sam Berger, recently sparring and
vaudeville partner with Jeffries, who
passed through the city yesterday. And
his assertion was backed up by Ed
ward Ieffries, brother of JIM who is
also on his way to New York to meet
the big fellow when he lands from the
steamer
eThat bout out west looks queer in
a good many ways" said Berger, com
menting on the Johnson and Ketchel
fight 1T was a mistake to send Ket-
chell against a man SO much heavier
than himself. in the first place. 1t was
lust putting money in Johnson's pock-
cts.
.Jenries has written that the baths
at Carlsbad have done him world Of
good and that he is coming back here
feeling so per cent better than when
he left. It's only question Of time
now before final arrangements are
made for the bout.
In case arrangements can be made
for a go in the near future, Berger
says Jeffries will probably drop any
engagements he may have
been considering. He expects to re-
main for a few days in New York.

5ALDHEADED MAN HAS Re
NEWED HIS YOUTH.
Tried Every Suggestion Made to Him,
Used Every Nostrum, and Finally
Purchased Wished-For Lux
uriant Locks.

y have just finished counting the
baldheaded ones here" a travelling
man dining in one of the downtown
hotels said to a Kansas City Times
reporter Il find that about 30 per
cent. of the men are baldheaded Do
you know, you can hardly meet a man
past 40 years old who is not affected
with badness?
When a schoolboy | thought it fun
to see baldheaded men. When | was
|16 years old / was mighty proud of
|my fine growth of hair, By the time
| was 80 | noticed that l pulled out

At 35 | began to read advertisements
where advantages of hair restorers
were illustrated. Two years later |
was trying to save the few locks
which fringed the edges of my ears
and the back of my bald head.
when / first started to treat my
hair | was told that rain water was
the stuff to use Then my wife read
lin one of the womens papers that
salt water was the greatest cure for
badness. The article used sound ar
|gument II said all badness is due
Ito germs; that germs work at the
.oots of the hair and destroy It and
that when the air once falls out it
will never come in again. Salt water
was a great germicide. tried salt
water faithfully.
Then | saw an article in a health
magazine. 1t said that badness is
contagious. The theory seemed rea-
sonable. so I was more careful about
not using combs in hotels and other
public places
One day my sister-inlaw came to

bureau and OF Congress their intelli'
gent and forceful application.
Continuing. Mr.. Valentine said that
the Indian service was today wide
open to the whole country for inspec'
tion. He said it was impossible for
him to hear and see all the good and
all the bad in the service personally,
and that it was necessary Tor Congress
to give him to this end corps Of thir-
ty competent inspectors with the nee
essary qualifications. Real superin-
tendents also were needed. These
superintendents should be big men,
for Indian affairs above all is a human
business, and to get good men ade-
quate salaries must be paid
1T is impossible to do two things
with the Indians" Mr. Valentine went
on, ito exterminate them or make
them into citizens. Our present
course is a cross between extermina-
ton and citizenship. If we would es-
cape a disgrace greater than any
which has attended this Indian busi-
ness yet we must stop at The beginning
of this twentieth century and think
clearly about the Indians and set our
selves resolutely to certain clean and
high courses. The whole American
people must do this thinking. and this
course which the thinking Of all the
people will make clear demands of us
more than would be demanded in the
case of the backward among our own
people. or in the case Of the immi-
grant"
Mr.. Valentine then declared that the
Indian today was not yet ready to
live under a perfectly constructed and
highly developed irrigation system.
He must first be given instructions
from which he can see results. and
in this way in one year many Indians
could be taught to use highly develo-
ped irrigation system, who without
that preliminary training would for
ever fail
The commissioner then touched upon
the health Of the three thousand In
dians in the United States. He said
that tuberculosis and diseases of the
blood should not be permitted to
creep in among those peoples and that
liquor must be kept away from them.
What is the use of a maimed and
poisoned citizen. he asked? There
should be an unexcelled Indian ser
vice
Referring to education, Mr.. Valen
tine said all Indians should be taught
10 speak the English language, to read
easily, to speak effectively. to write
clearly. and to figure easily. For the
Industrial education of the Indian. the
at hand in the broader sense is the
very valuable property owned by the
or given them by the govern
nent. on which they get the expert
ence of actual life
IN conclusion Mr.. Valentine said:
