JEFF=JOHNS0N FIGHT
GOES TO TEX RICHARD.
Fight Promoter in Combination
Which Offered Sl0l, 900.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.--The worlds
championship fight between James j.
Jeffries and Jack Johnson will be held
in. san Francisco before q club organ
ized by Tex Rickard, of Ely, Nevada,
and Jack Gleason, probably. on July 4,
1910.
The bid made by Rickard and Glea-
son of a purse of s101.0Uo, and the con-
testants to take 90 2-S per cent. of the
moving picture receipts, was accepted
by representatives. OF Johnson and
Jeffries this afternoon.
The successful bid provides that the
fight shall take place i'll California,
Utah or Nevada, on a date to be set
later, but 1t was stated that without
doubt the mill would take place in San
Francisco. In view OF the fact that
James Coffroth, manager Of the Mission
Athletic Club of Colma, Cal, controls
certain patents on moving pictures, it
was thought that Rickard g. Gleason
would likely enter into some arrange
ment with him whereby they could have
the fight take place in the Colma arena.
Il. ]. McCarey, of Los Angeles, and
Eddie Graney, of San Francisco. made
a vigorous protest against the accept
ance of Richards bids, declaring that
their bids were higher and should have
been accepted. They asserted that
Richards bid had been virtually ac-
cepted in advance and that the other
bidders stood no chance Of having their
bids accepted.
The final articles for the fight will be
drawn up and signed in Hoboken, N j.,
tomorrow. The articles. viii be drafted
by lawyers.

SUNG FOR DIVORCE,
SAYS WIFE'S FIRST
HUSBAND IS ALIVE
Arlington Butcher Produces
Witness Who Tells of Hay=
ing Seen Him.

When Vice. Chancellor Howell today
called the divorce action of Frederick
Gilman, a butcher, conducting shop
in Arlington, against his wife Elizabeth.
Addison Ely, counsel for the husband.
through his witnesses, brought out one
of the most unusual stories heard in the
Chancery Court.
The couple were married May ). 1900,
in Arlington, and everything went well
until August, 1907, when the husband
taxed his wife with having a husband
and two children in Ireland. This the
wife denied, saying her first life partner
had died long before she married Gill
man. From then on, 1t is charged by
the wife in her papers. the husband be-
gan a course of cruel treatment, which
eliminated in her leaving him and
starting a suit for divorce and alimony
On August 13, 1907, she said. he
grabbed her by the hair and thrust her
head in a tub of salted meat, holding
her there until she almost suffocated
Frequently, she says, he beat her un-
mercifully, so that she was forced tc
remain in bed for some time after.
Gilman, in his answer, denied the
charges of his wife, and said her hus-
band was living. said that he had
been, in the habit of giving his wife
sums of money to deposit for him In
banks. but she deposited them in other
banks In her own name. He produced
bank books to show she had $4,000.
In response to the allegation that her
husband was living. Ms Gilman pro-
duced three witnesses &ho testified to
having seen the first husband, whose
name was jeremiah Norton, dead in a
morgue in New York. AS conse-
quence, the vice-chancellor threw out
the matter.
Today it came up on application OF
Gilman for divorce, to which the
wife had filed an answer and cross bill
asking for divorce.
Among the witnesses called was Paul
Cassidy, of Corona, L. l., who testified
that on Sunday last, in company with
two others, he had visited Bridgeport,
Conn, where he had conversed with
Norton for some time.
why didn't he come here to tes-
tify?" he was asked.
''Oh, he said he never wanted to see
her again." was the reply
He was asked when he had seen
Norton previous to Sunday and said
in 1895.
"Where?0 asked Mr. Ely.
"On the island.''
what island?"
''Blackwels Island
WAS he working
Eyes, serving a year in the prison.
came the reply.
At another stage he was asked what
relation he bore to the defendant.
81 married her sister,
Where is she?'
II got rid of her a good many years
ago."
Il suppose she is dead" smiled Mr..
Ely.
mo, she ran away with another
man."
The case came to an abrupt end when
Alexander Simpson, counsel for Mrs.
Gilman, said he did not feel like go-
ing ahead with the case if Norton were
still living, and Asked for time to in
vestigate.
The vice-chancellor then said that he
felt the only thing to be done was to
see il Norton were still living, and that
the best way would be to take depo-
sition. He then appointed his stenog
rapher. Jesse r. Salmon. The case will
come up again on January 13.

The scramble on the fire escapes did
not, however, result in anyone being
injured
Simon Lowy, q real estate operator,
who has offices on the SIKH floor of
the building, was cut off by the flames.
Firemen, seeing him wave his handker-
chief from the window and hearing
him cry for help, sprang forward to
save him. They rugged up a scaling
ladder, but they found that it was
TOO short and, having no hooks, were
unable to fasten it to the window in
which his figure was silhouetted against
the smoke behind. A hurry call was
sent for additional apparatus, but
Deputy Chief Sloane, who had merle
his way through the building, carried
Mr. Lowy to safety
Former Judge Thomas Anderson. who
has offices on the fifth floor, was hear
ing a divorce case as a special master.
The case was that of Harry Schools
against Agnes e. Schools, and the
charge was desertion. There were If
teen other persons present in the law
offices at the time. William e. Hamp-
son, an attorney was representing Mrs.
Schools, He was the first to smell the
smoke and at once gave the alarm.
Instantly there was mad run for
the door, but finding escape cut off by
flames, they retreated to the fire escape.
One by one they scrambled OUT and
reached safety, with the exception Of
Mr. Anderson. He is an aged man and
was overcome by the smoke.
Former Police Commissioner Fred
erick w. Kroeger, who was in the
building, came across the PROSTATE
body of Mr.. Anderson and dragged him
out. He was met by Chief Ashley and
two firemen and assisted in the rescue.
In the Empire Theatre. a few doors
away from the burning building, in
Washington street, a large audience
was attending a performance of the

sound of the changing gongs and when
police, in alarm, broke into the theatre
they found the audience enjoying the
performance. unconscious of the danger
without No announcement of the fire
was made, and the audience remained
seated throughout the show.
About 3:45 o'clock the flames began
to burst through the roof of the Met
