To
APPEAR IN
THEATER

Los ANGELES, Jan. 6.-James
j. Jeffries has accepted the offer
of the Wigwam theater to appear
in that showhouse in a sparring
exhibition for one week. Jeffries
is to receive $4,000 for the week s
engagement.
The date of his appearance has
not been decided upon, on account
OF Jeffries' waiting a few days in
which to train.
In speaking of the matter this
afternoon, Jeffries said:
Three thousand dollars is not
to be overlooked these days. If
the money is paid in advance, l
will do the turn.
The sports here believe that this
is the first step toward his ulti-
mately re-entering the ring.
Jefferies started work today in
preparation of his theatrical ap-
pearance. Jim seems very anxious
to take up his training.
Quite a preponderance of flesh
on his middle section may bs TAX
en- off within a couple Of weeks
and then Jeff" will look the part

Judge Would Pre,enf Old Peope
From MurrYi,,S 6Z1ifbouf Conenf

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. g.
Poor Cupid! Lo, these man!
years he has had to fight agains
a minimum-age-limit handicap
Often and often he has shot hi
barbed arrows into some youth
full pair, only to see them balket
by a cruel issuer of licenses, wht
told Harry and Hettie to run ~alont
back home and wait till they were
a year or two older.
That's a tough situation for an!
Woodworking, well-meaning Cupit
to face, day after day.
But now comes o. T. Williams
Judge of the circuit court of Mil
waukee, Wis, and wants to put OIL
che brakes at the other end of the
matrimonial line. He wants law
fixing a maximum age limit.
Now, what do you think o.
that?
When Ezra Jones, II, and Vic
let Smith, aged As, or 35, or %
as the case may be, come to pro
bate court to get the necessary pa
pers, the unfeeling clerk will re
mark, pleasantly:
"Ah, Mr.. Jones, I trust you have
the written consent of son, OF
daughter, or legal guardian"
Pretty rough on Ezra, you may
say.
But Judge Williams says it ISM
rough on Ezra. He says such a
law will save many an Ezra from
a whole lot of trouble and sorrow
not to speak of financial loss.
A case came before the judge
only a few days ago in which a
man of 81 was suing his wife OF
81 for divorce. He had married
her two months after his first
wife's death, and testified that
constantly after the wedding she
had tried by every means she
could think of to get possession OF
his bank book and other prop
erty.
"There are many such cases,
says Judge Williams. "Old peo-
pie with property are constantly
the victims of designing persons
of the opposite sex, who marry
the msimply to get their money
away from them. There should
be law requiring the consent of
the adult children of couples over
a certain age, and in case there
are no children I would favor the
power of consent being placed
with some judge of a court of rec
ord-preferably either a probate
or circuit court Judge.
"a good reason for such a law
is that adult children are respon-
sible for the care and maintenance
Of aged parents. This being so,
the children should have a voice
in a matter affecting the financial
welfare of the parents.
"There is just one objection
that children of wealthy parents
might raise objections under the

TO keep OLD
MEN OUT OF.
ATHLETICS

The Washington State High
School Athletic association has de-
cided to weed out the old men In
the school sports. Hereafter no
one over FL years of age will be
permitted in interschool sports. In
some of the schools quite a few
students pass the 81 year marx,
and they generally make pretty
husky competitors for the younger
lads, so the association in session
at Spokane this week, decided the
old men must keep out.

The Courant has several times sug-

once any such performances as this

lists very substantially. Property is
put in the list at its true market vail
ne: this must be so because the law
requires it. This valuation is the
basis on which the property pays itH
share Of the cost of government. Now
if the city needs land, just let It take
any land it needs at the valuation
