Reno, July 4.-Up to 10 o'clock this
morning the betting had stood steady
at 10 to with Jeffries the favorite.
San Francisco special trains brought
10000 from the coast cities and the
majority OF these came prepared to
bet on Jeffries. The big pool room
was damned until last night and fill
ed up again at sunrise today. Jeffries

the call was for those who fancied

who wants Johnson at even money
on twenty rounds?"
Even money that Jeffries will win
in twenty roundsl"
There were many tickets written at
these figures, but the sums were
usually small. The big betters appar-
emily have placed their money at bet
ter odds. Late last night there was
big commission sent for Tim McGrath,
who was handling several thousand
dollars. it is said, for a pool of San
Francisco men.
BY o'clock this morning the break
fast problem assumed a phase that
bodied Ill for luncheon and dinner.
Throughout the night and forenoon
special and regular trains had added
their cargoes to the thousands al
ready on the ground, and most of them
had gone foodless for hours. AS each
train arrived its passengers made a
dash for the restaurants, lunch stands
Or sandwich hawkers and Reno's food
supply began to melt
When the lucky thousands who had
places to sleep began to turn out by
sunrise, they found a homeless throng
had been before them. At every res
taurant and eating place the doors
were locked and guards kept the wait
ing ones in line, letting them in only
as the customers departed. At
o'clock the word flew through the
town that the bacon and ham supply
was exhausted. An hour later, was
merely a question of taking what the
red eyed and worn walters placed be-
fore one. The table linen had disap-
peared and dish washing was a pre-
tense.
What the mobs will do when they
pour out OF the arena this afternoon
can only be guessed, but 1t is safe to
say that the better part of them will
go hungry to the trains for a hungry
ride home.
From dark last night until $3.50 this
morning twelve trains arrived from the
east and west with an average load OF
500 passengers each. Seven more
trains, heavily loaded, are due before
noon. Up to 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, $500 excursion tickets to Reno
had been sold in San Francisco.

sold last night. Large blocks had been
sold to specultators, who were asking
$3.50 for them today. The only seats
on sale at the ticket office this morn 1
ing were higher priced places.
Very early the crowds began to as
semble at the arena. No one, not even
holders of the highest priced seats, /
was allowed inside SO early.

Edison TALKS on Aeroplanes.

New York, July 4.-Thomas A.
Edison is watching the development of
the aeroplane with the keenest inter
est. In an interview given out here
today he comments as follows on
Glenn Curtiss recent experiments at
Hammondsport in attempting to drop
bombs onto target resembling in
shape and size a modern war vessel.
1.-The experiments are very inter-
esting and give us an insight into
some of the big problems which must
be solved by the aeroplane inventors.
"a method of making the aim of
the operator more exact should not be
difficult to devise. I don't think that
a gun would be the ideal plan. /
rather think that some way should be
invented by which the missile would be
released down tube as soon as the
object to be hit had been sighted and
the aim properly regulated.

This Is Statement Of Student

Philadelphia, July 4.-"Today the
greatest foreign problems and re-

government are in the twenty Latin
American republics lying to the south
of u.s." declared John Barrett, director
of the International Bureau Of Ameri-
can Republics. in addressing a notable
gathering in Independence hall in this
city today.
"Seventy-five per cent of the time
and energy of the state department Is
consumed in the consideration of its
Latin American problems" he added.
fTt is therefore not true as occasion
ally intimated, that the United States
as a government is neglectful or un-
appreciative Of its sister American
governments"
Mr.. Barrett secuted the idea that
Latin-American, taken as a whole was
a land Of revolutions.
Despite the fact that the center of
the stage has been occupied for con.
siderable period by one country in
Central America, two thirds of the en-.
tire area and population of Latin.
American have known no civil war

.BALLINGER GETS
CALL TO BEVERLY
PRESIDENT TAFT ASKS SEcRE-
TARY OF INTERIOR TO COME
TO HIM DAY AFTER
THE FOURTH.

Beverly Mass, July 4.-President
Taft's ten days period of absolute va
cation, which was to have begun with
the close of strenuous Fourth OF
July, has been postponed.
The President sent q telegram to
Secretary of Interior Ballinger asking
him to come to Beverly tomorrow for
what probably will be an all-day con.
ference.
The vacation may begin next Wed
nesday but the President has his
doubts about 1t. But he already is
making the best Of his stay in Beverly,
mixing good deal Of recreation with
the business that must be disposed of
every day. He played golf this morn
ing and worked throughout the early
afternoon, and then went for a motor
ride.
President Taft and his military at
tache, Captain Butt, have been tied
hand and foot in the red tape OF Mas
sachusetts officialdom, and 1t was only
by the Intervention of Governor Eben
8. Draper that the tangle was I'M
snarled.
Automobiles caused all the trouble.
When the president arrived at Bev-
erly for the summer Captain Butt took
up the question of registering the Taft
automobiles with the Massachusetts
Highway commission. Attorney Cen
eral Malone, however, served notice on
the commission that government cars
DO not require registration. Such a
condition would subject the president,
the executive Office attaches and the
members of the presidents family to
excessive annoyance, but Governor
Draper came to the rescue. Out OF his
contingent fund enough money will be
taken to place number plates on the
eight Taft automobiles that legally
should be registered. Il

Loss From Blaze Is Estimated

Devlin, La ValIee and Stanley
Reduced to Ashes


Winnipeg, July 4.--With three towns
destroyed by forest fires and half a
dozen others in danger from the flames
the loss in the Rainy River district to-
day is generally estimated at Sc, 000,-
600. This includes the loss at Devlin.
La Vallee, Stanley and MiscampbeH as
well as the stations and box cars owned
by the Canadian Northern railway.
Fires are burning today fiercely the
wind having gained in velocity. If all
reports can be believed, dozen or
hre lives Fssve been lost. Fort Fran
els Is still cut OF by the flames and
no word either OF its safety or de-
struction has been received here. Esmo
Is in grave danger of being wiped off

having gone up in smoke and the town
sites are today marked only by plies
of charred wood and heaps of ashes.
1t Is reported that Cedar Spur, on
the American side, has been burned to
the ground and the information az
pears to be correct. Huge fires. famed
by a strong wind, surround Lake Ne
pigon and are eating their way north
wards through the reserves of timber
and unless rain comes, will reach the
main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific
railway. The loss to the Canadian
Northern system is already very heavy
for miles upon miles of telegraph lines
have been burned out, the tracks COW
cred with fallen and half burned tim
Der, bridges and culverts converted
into heaps of ashes, and some half
dozen station houses, beside several
section houses and loading platforms,
have gone up in smoke.
The report of the burning of a mill
at Atikokan at a loss Of $4,000 reached
here today. All the residents of that
village are on guard night and day,
watching their property. Several
houses in the townships near Port Ar
thur have been burned. Ashes from
fires up the lake fell on the streets of
Nepigon. but the town itself is not re-
ported in danger.
While no word of fires in the terri
tory now being built up the Ma
tional Transcontinental railroad, zoo
miles north Of Lake Superior, has been
received, 1t is believed that fires are
