CHAPTER v.
In secret Paths.

Nippon, the home OF the Samurai,
In her adoption OF newer methods, had
not permitted her secret service de-
partment to remain In ancient form.
Modelled on those lines which had
made the intelligence bureau Of Rus
STA one of the most effective in the
entire world. and profiting by the pub
licity given to nearly every movement
of Importance IN the United States,
she was infinitely informed OF all that
had been and was taking place In the
country she hoped to overcome. She
had depended upon this knowledge as
q valued factor for the subjugation of
the American colossus, not foreseeing
that country capable of closing Its
doors to the world would also find
means to circumvent foreign agents.
To the last minute she relied upon her
emissaries In nearly all the larger
cities of America under the direction
Of Count Seigo.
Away back In the time of the Toku-
gawa Shogunate. when the almost in
vincible leader Seigo was an idol to
the youth of Satsuma to be toppled
over only In the civil war of 1877, HIS
son was being educated in q leading
American university. The downfall
of the father practically exiled the lad
In the United States until family and
political influence had time to reas-
sert itself, when by progressive steps

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 13.-Jim JEFF
fries, in a telegram sent to his Los
Angeles business partner, Jack Kiper
hands out a blistering indictment
against Promoter T. J. McCarey. He
calls the local fight magnate hard
names, and when Jim resorts to this
stand it is safe to say that the big
fellow is thoroughly aroused.
The Jeffries telegram. which was re-
ceived here at noon yesterday, reads as
follows:

JAMES ]. JEFFRIES."
This is taken to mean that Jeffries is
angered at the screened statement made
by McCarey upon his arrival home last
Friday. McCarey, upon this occasion
gave 1T as his belief that he had been
counted out" by the rival promoters,
said in so many words that no mat
ter how big he might have made his
bid that the opposition would have
found a way to beat him out
The Rochester telegram was read to
McCarey over the telephone. A mo-
ment of silence followed before he an
swered in a firm voice.
I shall refuse to enter into any con-
troyersy in this matter. 1 lost the fight
and that settles it. SO far as am con-
cerned my future interest in the JEFF
fries-Johnson battle will be only that
of a spectator. Jeffries will hurt only
himself and his own interests by call
ing me names. 1t is unlike Jim to do
this sort of thing. and I am sorry that
he has made, this mistake-for mistake
it is. This telegram will act in boom
erang fashion.
The whole sporting world knew in
advance how scant my chances were of
securing the fight. The New York crit
les were saying two days before the
bids were opened that my trip from
California to that city was but a waste
Of time and money l merely went
through with it to show that 1 was
sincere and game. Every move I made
spoke for itself. Nothing that l could
say now would help the prospects of the
big battle.''

The second team of the Hammond
Athletic association basket ball squad
journeyed to Chicago last Saturday
night. where they were defeated by the
Hull House Midgets by the score of 81
to 9.
The game was played in the Hull
House gymnasium, at the corner of
Polk and Halsted streets, and the Ham
mond boys report that they We're given
the most gentlemanly treatment by the
Chicago boys
The game was arranged through the
Intercity Basket ball league of Chi
cago, of which Eddie Mason Of this
city is vice president. The defeat of
the Hammond aggregation was due to
the fact that the team which made the
trip never had any practice together
and was merely a scrub team.
The lack of team work on the part
OF the Hammond boys and the evidence
of 1t in the case of the Hull House
Midgets explains the defeat of the local
team.
