THINKS HE SAW TIN THE WEST.

Mount Wilson observatory. May 19 -Dr George F.. Hale. director of the obsevatory issued statement tonight in which he said that the latest obser- Nation did not indicate that the earth had passed through the tail of Halley's comet and that his computations led him to believe that this planet would miss contact with the wanderers ap- bondage entirely.
 We saw the comet at 1:3S this evening"" said Dr. Hale. At that time it was one degree above the horizon, and had the appearance of a hazg ne- bular star. The color was reddish but that would not indicate anything be- cause it was SD near the horizon that surface dusts and slight fog from the ocean would likely explain the color.
 We looked carefully for the tail. and thought we saw faint indication ex- tending upward and away from the sun. but we may have been mistaken. | am not positive that we saw the tail at all.
 'I do not know whether the earth passed through the tail today or not. I have seen no indication of it. Ob- serVation taken today and carefully completed made me believe that we are likely to miss the tail entirely Certainly we will miss it if we do not pass through it tomorrow"

JEFFR|ES NOT TRAINING
 10 ENTERTAIN VISITORS
The Disappointment of Crowd of
 Admirers Yesterday.

Ben Lomond. Cal, May 19.-Ad- mirers of Jeffries spent busy day at the fighters training camp today down the roadway and throwing stones at the frogs in the pond.
 After reviewing the history of ring battles from the time of Jem Mace to the time of the Papke- Thomas fight, they returned home at night fall, pronouncing their days work one of the best since the present training season began. Jeffries went fishing.
 Among the visitors was an automo- bile party of five which drove from Salinas. forty miles away. to see the big fighter in action. The crowd watched the door of Jeffries' lodge through the earlier hours of the aft ernoon like a terrier watching a rat hole. Finally the fighter. having just awakened from nap rubbing his eyes. looked hesitatingly at the gym nasium and then down the roadway It was dramatic moment and the crowd was breathless Jeffries shoul- dered his fishing pole and went down the road.
 When asked tonight why he failed to go back to the grind. Jeff said he was directing his own system of training and that. while he did not wish to slight ,his visitors. he had picked olt the work that would be most beneficial.

spirit to go ahead in this matter. The site of the Hotel Adams can be leased for S5 years at an annual rental of s6. 500. I will take s75.O0O worth of the stock in a company formed for the purpose of erecting and conducting the hotel. If a like amount IS subscribed by the business men of this town there will be no trouble in erecting the best commercial hotel in any town of the same size west of the Mississippi.
 If a stock company is formed would like every business man in town to have some interest in it. The ren- tai of the ground floor space should bring in sl4.0OO A subscription to the stock will not then be d contribution; it will be an investment and pay good returns on the money invested"
 He was followed by w. J. Murphy who advocated somewhat more ela- borate hostelry than MT. Adams. He said. in part: Tt seems to me we have an opportunity here to erect fine hotel. perhaps on larger lines than MT. Adams has in mind. We are not as large as san Diego. but we are going to grow and we must live up to this thought. San Diego has million dol lar hotel and l understand that it pays. do not think the ground rent as stated by MT. Adams is eXorbitant. His offer meets the conditions as far as he is concerned. But let us put up half million dollar hotel. If we do not raise the money we can bond it. We need such a shotel and We can fil ii next year.
 Roy Goodrich advocated a fire proof hotel on the Adams site for conner cial purposes Judge Ainsworth asked for immediate organization and sus sested a half million dollar company. He referred to the Santa Rita hotel at Tucson and said it cost but s165.000 We want a hotel as big as the Van Nuys or the Angelus and if we build il now it will be ready for the fall trade and be a paying investment" Mir.

Alleged On Part of Assist ant Attorney General Lawler, Who Says That Former Chief of Field Service Was a Liar

Washington. May ls.-The Ballin- ger Pinchot investigation is likely C" end tomorrow. so far. at least. as the taking of evidence is concerned The defense" practically had rested when the days hearing ended and Attor- ney Brandeis tonight said his side would consume but little time m the examination of witnesses in re- buttal Attorney Vertrees- counsel for the Ballinger defense will csil one or more, witnesses tomorrow, but expects their contributions 10 be brief
 It is probable that the departure of Senator Root. one of the leading re- publican members Of the committee. who left today for The Hague arbi- tration tribunal. had a great deal [" do with the decision to bring the hearing to a close
 MT Brandeis concluded his cross examination of Oscar Lawler. author of the now famous tentative draft for the president of a letter dismissins Special Agent L. R. Glsvis.
 Commissioner Fred Dennett. of the general land office. also finished his testimony F.. T. Perkins. a Chicago officer of the reclamation service. was the last witness os the day. Whatwas regarded by the prosecution as an important admission was cb- tained from Lawler Brandeis was endeavoring to show that Lawler re- tained an old grudge against Glsvis that unfitted him for the preparation of judicial finding to assist the in charges
 He was questioning Lawlrr along that line when the latter uneXpect- edly volunteered the allegation that Glavis had demonstrated" him. self to be untruthful- This. he said. was three years a gO. when GlaViS had made complaint to the land office that Lawler was not competent [" conduct the governments prosecution of certain land fraud cases in south ern California. Lawler was then th.

 An attempt by Brandeis tO secUr" the production of all the papers and documents relating to this matter on file at the land office was block"i by the committee as involving a col lateral investigation. Brandeis sad he desired to show whether Secretary Ballinger knew that Lawler enter tained such a grievance against Gla- wis.

STAR SHARPS |. IN THE AIR The Failure of the Comet
 to Keep Engagements SEEN IN THE EAST When It is Due In West.
 At Yerkes Observatory
 the Astronomers Saw a
 Startling Sight Across
 the Suns Face

Yerkes Observatory. Williams Bay. Wis. May 19.-Following close upon the wholly unexpected astronomical condition that prevailed early this morning. when the tail of Haley s comet was plainly seen in the east astronomers at Yerkes observatory today were further bewildered by a startling apparition across the face of the sun at noon time. \ broad spec trum of light extending across and d considerable distance to each side Of the sun challenged the attention or vigilant observers in no uncertain fashion.
 For the second time in dozen years the little band of scientists was aroused to excitement. Professor F.. B Frost who first sighted the phenomenon. said he had neter wit messed its like. Hoping to secure an accurate check on the strange spectrum. Professor Frost at once telephoned to observers within ra = dius of d hundred miles. calling at tention to the peculiarity. The ap- partition continued for less than half an hour.
 Astronomers are without eXplana . ton of the failure of the comets tail to sweep the earth yesterday and they declare that a condition is now apparent without d parallel in astro- nomical research.
 Professor Mitchell of Coiumbia uni versitv united with Professors Barn. ard and Frost in an announcement that the phenomenon might be due to one of three causes. First. the curvature of the comets tail first discovered and noted by Professor Barnard Tuesday night may have developed a wholly unexpected degree, while the comet is passing the earth on sched- ule
 Second like the Borellis comet of 1903. Halley's comet may have ceased it's tail making activity and cutting off the glowing fan that now is puZ- zling scientists.
 Third. it is possible all calculations are wrong and that the comet has not vet passed the earth.

THOMAS CONVERTED
 INTO BACK NUMBER IN HIS FIGHT WITH PAPkE
 LAST NIGHT IL Was Demonstrates. However, That Latter Is Not ketchers Equal.

San Francisco May le.-Joe Thorn as attempt to re-establish himself a middleweight champion received a rude set back in his fight tonight at Drea inland rink with Billy Papke. It took Papke sixteen rounds to relegate the Californian to the list of fighters that were right swing high on the body sent Thomas to the mat. and after this several rights delivered with crushing force floored Thomas for keeps.
 Papke was to l favorite in the betting match with ketchel for the championship next month is se cured the victor
 The consensus of opinion among showing tonight. will have tc improve considerably to stand a chance with Ketchel. Although defeated. Thomas gave a very good account of himself and for while made things pretty hot for the kewanee lad.
 II was d llStleSS tAnlDlllpn up lp the twelfth round. marked by much clinching. wrestling and putting. in the latter department of which Papke greatly excelled. This style of battle aroused the wrath of the spectators. who showed no hesitation in exercis- ing their lungs with crief of Fake, Fake" and loud "Boos"
 This outbreak finally had it's effect on the belligerents. for in the next round-the thirteenth-a fierce mid- ring rally followed. Thomas drove Papke to the ropes and all but put him through. so fierce was his on slaught. The men battled again to the center of the ring and Thomas wallops to the jaw. Papke fought wildly in the fourteenth. and on the other hand Thomas displayed great cleverness and appeared to be in the acme of confidence.
 Thomas kept up his good work, and il looked as if he would beat the Kewanee man into submission in the fifteenth. After a fierce rally in the sixteenth. Papke hooked his right high on the body with sufficient force to send Thomas sprawling on the canvas. Thomas took nine. rushed in and proceeded to mix things at a lively rate. This was his undoing Papke. measuring his distance. sent in two rights to the jaw with crush ing force. and again the Californian went down.
 He came up reeling. It was but childs play then to finish him and Papke. shooting right to the jaw with frightful velocity. sent Thomas ! into pugilstic obscurity.

S11s.50O


 The subscriptions of Brady O'NeiL pr Martin and George Nj. Hahn were accompanied with the proviso that the hotel building should cost at least s25O0OO
 While the subscriptions were drop ping like leaves in the fall it was sug- eested by w. ]. Murphy that he would like to see some better organization and more definite plans. It had taken barely four minutes to add s43.5OO to the Adams subscription and much more would have been added in the next few minutes had not those present decided that il would be the part of wisdom. before going any further. to appoint a committee to report on plans for hotel corporation.
 A motion was therefor made to that effect and q committee of nine was appointed by the chair to report at an open meeting to be held Saturday afternoon at o'clock either in the Elks theater or at the board of trade rooms The committee consists of Judge C. F. Ainsworth. chairman: I. C. Adams. ]. W. Doris H H McNeil, w. J. Murphy. Barry Goldwater. NJ C. McDougall. Roy Goodrich. and Walter Talbot It is planned to make this an enthusiastic meeting which every busi- ness man in town who possibly can will attend
 This committee held session imme- diately after the geenral meeting It was decided to report favorablv on the proposition to incorporate for s250. 00O There was some opposition in the gen eraI meeting to incorporate for so small an amount. A half million company was advocated by some. Tt will not he necessary to sell all the stock" they argued. and it will give ample lee way Those in favor of incorporating for the lessor sum said that with s250.- 000 in cash another sl50.0GO could be borrowed if needed
 The committee also decided on a name for the new corporation. It is to he the Hotel Adams Company" pro- vided that name is found acceptable to the majority of stockholders The ar ticles Of incorporation will be drawn up this morning by Judge Ainsworth and Roy Goodrich and be ready by noon.
 The meeting opened promptly at 3 30 o'clock with Dr. John W. Foss. presi- dent of the board of trade in the chair. The first speaker was H l. Latham who outlined the purpose of the meet ing. J. C. Adams was then called upon to make a statement of his plains in order that those present might have some sort of basis to work on Mir. Adams said, in response to the re- quest:
 The first thing a western town needs is a good hotel. When I came here in 1896 and established the Hotel Adams I was possibly a little too en- thusiastic for that time. It has not been a paying proposition. But in the last two years there has been a radical change in conditions. Phoenix will now support a good hotel
 Il am not in condition to talk calm ly on this matter or to give you gentle men my ideas as clearly or as con- scisely as I would under other circum- stances, but I will do the best I can We own the site and if you men gath cred here today, think that a hotel should be constructed and that at once. we are in your hands. | believe that it should be built at once It is the hotels that have built up the cities of Southern California and Colorado.
