San Francisco, April "A fighters
opinion of fighter isn't a thing to pin
much faith to at the best of times, and
when the fighters become rivals each
ones estimate Of the other isn't worth
the breath-or the ink-required TO
place it on record.
Take Battling Nelson and Packey
Mcfarland, for instance. About the
time the Dane lost to Jimmie Britt at
the Auditorium he began singing the
praises Of a budding phenomenon in
the lightweight division whose habl-
.at was the stockyards region OF Chi
cago.
He is only II and not done grow
ing said Nelson. He's a wonder
d great all-around fighter He is the
coming champion OF the world, all
right, and he'll lick us all some day.
Times change. and men change With
them When Packey reached his full
development and became a challenger
of Nelson, the Dane spoke differently,
even though may not have thought
differently.
Who did he ever liclo?" asked Mel
son. with curling lip His record
was faxed up by his manager. and un-
til he shows himself worthy of it he
Will never get fight from me.
Then there is Jim Jeffries and Jack
Johnson To read all that Big jim has
had TO say about Big Jack lately, one
would be led TO think Jeffries has the
utmost contempt for Johnson's fight
ing abilities, and courage as well.
/ don't know whether Jeffries has
taken TO making disparaS1ng remarks
about johnson. but l do know that
while Jeffries was fer out OF the game
and had little idea that he would be
yanked into II again he considered
Johnson the greatest heavyweight be
fore the public. / had his own word
for 1t, and knowing what a level
headed, fairmfnded follow Jeffnes
is. / do not believe he would hesitate
over awarding Black Jack the same
need Of praise right now.
They say that personally Jeffr1es de-
tests Johnson. This may be so. but
II seems TO me that II would be easy
enough to persuade the big fellow that
he ought to feel kindly toward the
conQueror OF Tommy Burns. Certain
ly Johnson has put Jeffries In the

Jeffries never enters the prize ring
again.
Just look at the way things were a
few months back at Los Angeles. Jef1
had tried alfalfa farming and hadnt I
made more than million year at

loon scheme, and If reports spoke
truly, the gin-mill was not a partic-
ularly big money-maker.

interested was the Vernon Athletic

author, shot himself in his room in
the home of Mrs. Theodore Phoenix
at Mendham, where he had been for a
few weeks, at nine -forty-five this morn
ing and died about an hour and half
later.
He had evidently contemplated the
act for some time as he borrowed the
revolver with which he shot himself
from William Phoenix a week or SO
ago for the purpose as he explained Of
target practice. He was in his room
this morning, and hearing shot Mrs.
Phoenix called in j. w. Garabrant,
who found Mr.. Speed unconscious.
Medical attendance was secured. but
nothing could be done for the unfor-
tunate man and he died as stated.
Mr.. Speed had wide reputation as a

Philippines by the government. His
wife died some years ago, and he is
survived by a married daughter.

William Hughes, one of the oldest
engineers of the Lackawanna railroad
was struck by bridge near here Wed.
nesdag afternoon and rendered uncon.
scious. His fireman noticed his plight,
dragged him back into the cab and
brought the train to Morristown. The
bridge, which is close to Homer Daven-
ports farm, about three miles from
Morristown, is low and its sides quite
close to the track.
Hughes had his head out of the cab
window to see the signals when he hit
the stone abutment. At Morristown
he was taken from the engine, and
soon recovered consciousness. He was
found to be not seriously injured, and
returned to his home in Scranton on
the next train.
Hughes is engineer on one of the fast

CHERRY TREE CONTENTION
Norris County Traction Co: in Con-
troversy with william Dickerson.

Morris County Traction Co. in Con-
troversv With william Dfckerson.
A cherry tree claimed by William
Dickerson, of Mount Tabor, as his
own, is causing the Morris County
Traction company lot of trouble and
the controversy has aroused the resi-
dents of that quiet little hamlet to
the point of mobbing the owner of the
tree If he attempts to hold up the troll
ley on its account.
The tree is about one foot outside
Dickerson's fence line on the road
| from Tabor to Denville. The trolley
company is at work on the construc-
tiOn of its line from Denville, through
Tabor to Morris Plains and the tree is
in the way.
Several years ago the Lackawanna
railroad, to eliminate two grade cross
ings near Tabor purchased strip of
land forty-nine feet wide on the oppo-
ite side of the tracks from where the
main highway lay az that time. The
road was moved over to the opposite
side of the tracks and the cherry tree
was allowed to remain as at that time
it was not in the way.
The trolley company wished to re-
move the tree but Dickerson said
| No." asserting that the company
owed him several hundred dollars and
that tine tree was valuable to him and
he had planted it. Inquiry by the
company's representative ELECTED the
information that Dickerson had got
ten quarts of cherries from the tree
last year. An offer to adjust the claim
of Dickerson against--th company and
| five dollars for the tree was refused,
Dickerson holding out for ten dollars
for his cherry tree Construction
work is going on on both sides of the
tree and until Dickerson is placated
the controversy will keep the company
from connecting up its lines. The ten
dollars will probably be paid but under
protest as OLD residents of Tabor and
Denville assert that the tree is wild
one and was not planted by Dickerson
or anybody else and that it's fruit is
unfit to eat. If the matter is not ad-
justed soon the residents are threaten
ing to mob the unfortunate owner OF
the cherry tree.

TO COMBAT WHITE PLAGUE
Arrangements Made for the Treat
ment of Consumptives.

Arrangements Made for the Treat
ment of Consumptfves.
Arrangements have about been COM
pleted by the Morristown Tuberculo-
sis society and the Memorial and All
Souls hospital authorities for the in
auguration of an active campaign
against the spread in Morristown of
the white plague" At Memorial
hospital will be established a clinic
and dispensary under the supervision
of the hospital staff. A large room in
the basement of the new wing is be-
ing fitted up under the direction of
Frederick G.. Burnham, of the hospl-
tai directorate, and committe. The
room has an outside entrance, is bright
and airy, having five large windows,
and though in the basement is almost
ideal for the purpose. The ground is
up only to the window sills and slopes
gradually away. The floor Of the
room is of concrete and the walls, par
titions, ETC., will also all be of the
same material or brick Having a
separate entrance and being shut off
from the rest of the hospital building
the other patients in the building will
not be exposed in any way to the con-
taglon.
1t is the plan of the society to have
all the embryo cases treated here and
then sending the patients to their
homes under the care of their regular
physicians and a trained nurse in the
employ of the society who will make
daily visits to the patients to see that
the doctors orders ARE carried out to
the letter.
At All Souls hospital the advanced
stages of the disease will be cared for.
A pavilion will be erected on the Van
Beuren property, recently purchased
by the hospital, on the opposite side
of the street from the main building,
and there will be given the regular
treatment for tuberculosis in it's ad-
vanced forms. Situated upon hill
the pavilion will have fine location
and the society expects to do fine work
with the hearty cooperation of the
two hospitals, which has been prom
ised, and the help of the physicians of
the town, among whom the movement
had its inception.

OLD WAN BURNED TO DEATH
Mendham Farmer Overcome by Smoke
While Saving Furniture.

Mendham Farmer Overcome by Smoke
While Saving Furniture.
Jesse r. Smith, sixty-five years old,
was burned to death at his home, two
miles from Mendham, Wednesday af-
ternoon. His body was practically
cremated, DR.. George L. Johnson, the
coroner, finding hardly enough bones
and bits of burned flesh to fill dish
pan. Smiths wife and one unmarried
daughter are living with her son-in-law
Charles Forsythe.
Smith formerly lived on the McCar-
roll place, owned by New York man,
and cultivated the small farm sur
rounding The house. Occasionally he
would spend the night in his old home.
He did this Tuesday night and was
seen working about the place Wednes-
day morning. Shortly after 2 p. M,
Mrs Smith looked out of her kitchen
window and saw smoke pouringout of
the McCarroll house. She ran scream
ing for help to the house, and when
she got there the roof fell in. The
fire was so far advanced that entrance
could not be effected and the Mend
ham Fire Department was not even
called, so hopeless was the situation.
DIR. Johnson went to the scene and
found EwO pillows that had evidently
been thrown out of the house bv
