Nevada May Get Johnson langford
Fiuht. Should il Materialize.

Omaha. July 9.-That Nevada may
get another championship fight In the
near future. should Sam Langford
put up the $4,000 side bet demanded,
was the practical admission by Jack
Johnson when he was in this city.
Johnson reiterated what he had
said previously during the day, that
he would meet Sam Langford for
500, 900 side bet, but when told that
the governor of Wyoming had thrown
cold water on the proposed bout being
held at Cheyenne during the frontier
celebration, Johnson said that If ne
and Langford would ever meet II
probably would be in Nevada, and as
he had been well treated at Keno
il looked the best place
When Johnson was made acquaint-
ed with Langford's counter ptoposi-
ton that the latter would put up the
money at odds of two TO one, the
champion said that as he himself held
the title he would have something to
say about IL.

CONNIE MACK PUTS HIGH
VALUE ON HIS CATCHERS

Connie Mack-than whom there Is
no wiser club owner, manager or OBJ
server in baseball-said not long
ago:
THE best advice | can give a young
man who aspires To make himself
great name on the diamond Is:
Practice and study catching. Become
n second Buck Ewing There is
practically no limit to the salary that
n man the equal of Lou Criger or of
that Of Roger Bresnahan, when these
two catchers were at their best, could
command today.
Every ball player, every fan and
every club owner knows that Connie
who was once a first class catcher
himself--is right. The demand for
backstops of the King Bresnahan-
Gibson Criger Cardigan Sullivan
stamp Is vastly greater than 1t is for
great pitchers, hard hitters or fast
nelders; Infinitely greater, in fact, than
is the supply. ~
Singularly enough. II is only by cy-
cles or by decades, one might almost
say, that stad catchers are developed.
In truth. so seldom does IL occur that
when a Clarke. an Easterley or a Glib
son appears i'm the baseball sky the
whole country sits up and gives at
tention.
Major league scouts unite I'm saying
that only n small percentage of young
men aspiring to places on the major
league clubs today are trying to get
jobs as catchers. This is hard to
explain. inasmuch as the great catch
ers of the past occupy fully as i'm
portant a place in baseball history as
do the Radbournes, the Clarksons and
the McCormicks.
Indeed, no names In all the annals
of baseball are more familiar than are
those of Buck Ewing. Charles Ben
nett, Jim MCGUIRE. Duke Farrell
Jack Boyle. Charley Camel Lou Cri-
ger. Charlie thinner, Jick O'Connor
Tom DAILY. Doe Boshong Wilbert Rob-
inson, Dick Buckley, Charles Snyder
caliope Miller, John Clement. Emf
Gross, Mike Kelly, Silver Flint. Win.
cent Nava, Jim White and Cal Nc
Vey.
They were among the most fam.
Gus backstops that have ever stood
behind the plate. Those who saw
them in action cling tenaciously to thu
belief that no better catchers will
ever be seen on the diamond.
If" the major league club owner
are asking. these old backstops

Gotch agrees with Muldoon as to
Jeff's nervous condition. ON this
point the big wrestler said:
"He was whipped before he left

brought forth general censure.
SUNDAY noon, after playing sew

bad plays and said things exceeding
~ strange. Shortly after Mrs. Jeifries
was noticed to be worrying about his
condition of mind. Then he became
morose and refused to talk to any one.
Sunday night he did not sleep n

UNWELCOME IN ITALY.

Father Francis Xavier Wcrnz, gene
raj OF the Society of JESUS in Rome,
conferred for long time yesterday
with the pope and Cardinal Merry del
Val over the reports of the situation in
Portugal. 1t was decided to use all
possible means to at least save the
property OF the Jcsuits and other orders.
The reports that MANY religloniStS
expelled from Portugal intended to find
refuge in Italy has called forth pro-
test from the liberal press, which main
.ains that this country is already over
crowded with orders, Rome having
three times as many religious houses
now as it had before the fall OF tempo
raj power.
Tie government has determined to
prevent the expelled Portuguese
Jesuits from joining Italian commune
ties. A strict surveillance will be main
tanned on the frontiers to prevent any
OF the monks from going to Italy.
Spanish monks and nuns who have
fled from Lisbon are arriving at Nigo.
Badajoz, and other point on the frontier.
At Badajoz upon the order OF the bishop,
the nuns are succored at the Carmelite
convent. Owing to pending legislation
affecting the religious orders the in
flux OF refugees is embarrassing to the
Spanish government. Premier Canale-
jas said yesterday that the government
was moved with pity to receive the
exiles but that a permanent invasion
could not be tolerated.
A violent collision occurred IN the
streets OF Valencia, Spain, yesterday
between republicans aud members OF
tho Catholic Club. Many persons were
injured, and the police had to separate
be combatants.

Dcranged.

Over Quarter Of a Million OF Men out
Telegraph Lines and Signal System
Deranged.
Bordeaux, France, Oct. 1.-THE
employees of the Midi Central Rail-
road announced this afternoon that
they would join in the general railroad
strike following meeting Thursday.
This road operates in the southern part
of France.
Paris Oct. 1.-THE employees OF
the Eastern railroad joined the strikers
today and the 4, 94S kilometres OF the
road are now completely tied up. The
Orleans line, the second largest IN!
France, is ready to strike at mo-:
ment's notice. After long session,
the employees OF the Paris, Lyons and
Mediterranean, the greatest railroad in
France, adjourned this afternoon, and
Immediately cards bearing the words
six o'clock" were distributed among
the men. This was taken to mean that
the men on this line had been ordered
to go out at 6 O'Clock tonight. The
dismissal of Engineer MORN, the ma
tional secretary of the engineers, an
employee on the Western, exhibited the
men of this line to the point of striking.
The strikers have begun to tamper
with the brakes on the various trains,
and practically the entire French army
is under arms, prepared to protect the
RAILWAYS. The strikers are deranging
telegraph lines and railroad signals, so
that it is dangerous to run trains even
with army engineers in charge.
A strike OF the employees on the Met.
ropolitan Railway, owning and op-
Grating all the Paris underground
system, is also being favored by the
men, while strike of the omnibus
drivers and tramway motormen, in
sympathy for the railroad men. is be-
ing discussed and will probably take
place.
Paris, Oct 12.-After meeting of
the strike leaders this afternoon, it
was authoritatively declared that the
employees of every road in France
would be on strike by tomorrow.
A train started for Calais this morn
ing at 10:45, over the Western road,
but returned to the st Lazare depot at
8 O'Clock. ALI along the line, the
strikers are taking off the vital parts
OF the engines and leaving them Grip
pied on the tracks, forming an effective
blockade.
At Colonies, six miles from Paris,
800 strikers held up the supply trains
bringing food into the city. They
killed all the live cattle and despoiled
all the foodstuffs. That the strike is
spreading to The Great Orleans line
was manifested this afternoon when
the troops were called out to guard
the Borcaux express where the crew
had struck, after blocking the line.
London, Oct. 12.-The sale OF tick
cts from England to points in the in
terror Of France has been suspended,
owing to the railway strike in France.
Communication between interior points
in France and England has been cut
off exceDt by wire.

The Forest Fires.

International Falls, Mimi, Oct. II.
With the forest fires between Inter
national Falls and Beaudette under
control, citizens and militiamen under
the command OF General Wood, OF the
Minnesota National Guard, gave their
entire attention today to distributing
supplies and attending to the injured
refugees of the tire-swept zone.
Lumbermen today brought in many
bodies from the wooded districts on
wagons, but it is not believed the total
death roll will run over the estimate OF
$50 made yesterday.
Nine more towns reported here today
that they were threatened by fires and
asked that men be held in readiness to
rush to their aid.
Poposky, Nebish and Kelliher re-
ported they had been fighting the fires
for several days and during the last "a
hours the conditions have been alarm
ing.
Lumbermen today were unable to
state the exact figures that might repre-
sent their loss, but said that with pri
vate property DESTROYED in the towns, a
conservative estimate of the entire loss
would be between S15, 100000 and
$40, 100000.

Sensation i'm House of Deputies.

Cincinnati, o., Oct, PA sensa-
ton was sprung IN the House Of Depu-
ties at the triennial episode convention
today when Rev. J. 2. Winchester pro-
tested against any public intimatlon
that the deputies concurred in the
statement that the Bible is not the word
Of God. This statement is said to have
been made by Rev. A. A. Morrison, OF
Portland, Ore. A resolution was adopted
as follows: No person shall be or
dained and consecl ated bishop or or
dained priest or deacon unless at the
time in the presence of the ordaining
priest or bishop, he shall subscribe and
make the following declaration. / do
believe the Holy Scriptures Of the Old
and New Testaments TO be the word of
God and obtain all things necessary to
salvation.

THE Houston Post laments the

rants for federal office. What would
the return of the democracy to power
mean to its bone and sinew il there

MORE ALARM IN SPAIN

Government Renews War on Morocco
Belief that Republicans will Avail
Themselves of Present Opportunity to
Assert Themselves
Madrid, via Hendaye, Oct. 12.-
SPANS war in Morocco was renewed
today.
Coming as it does when Spain is in
the clutches of republican movement
following the successes of the republi-
cans in Portugal, the war in Africa,
which caused such bloody rioting all
over Spain last year, is almest sure to
be seized upon as basis for armed
revolt against Alfonso.
1t was the mastering of the reserves
to the colors for duty in Morocco that
caused the terrible rioting in Barcelona,
Saragossa and other centres last year.
The war was renewed because the
Moroccans declined TO meet the indem-
nifty to reimburse Spain for her expenses
in the war Of 1909.
A large Spanish punitive expedition,
commanded by General Aldave, left to-
day for Melilla, the scene of last years
siege, and for YAKIMA for the purpose OIL
forcing the payment of the indemnity
The cruiser Rio de la Plata is just
off shore, accompanying the land forces,
so that the soldiers may retire under
her guns and thus protect themselve:
in the event they are attacked by ar
overwhelming force.
The Moroccans are burning signal
fires on every hill, summoning thu
tribesmen to the front to oppose the
progress OF the Spaniards. 1t is be
lieved that this action presages deter
mined defense and a general outbreak,
especially on the part Of the Rieff tribes
men, who maintained the siege Of
Melilla.
1t was last years Moorish revolt that
indirectly caused the execution OF Prof.
Ferrer, director Of the modern school,
looked upon as a martyr by the Spanish
republicans. BY strange coincidence,
Ferrer's execution took place on Octo-
Der 10, 1908 year ago tomorrow.
Coming as it does on the very eve Of
the anniversary OF Ferrer's death,
this development was looked upon
with great alarm by Alfonso ministers
who realize that Thursday will be a
critical day for the young monarch.
