VIVID STORY OF DISASTROUS
 FIFTEENTH
By Associaoed Press.

By Associated Press.
 RENO, New, July 4.-Round 15, when the men faced each other, it was plain to all that Jeffries was in distress. His face was puffed and bleeding from the punishing lefts and rights he had received, and nj, movements were languid. He sham bled after the elusive negro, some times erOuehing low, with his left hand stuck out in front, and some times standing erect Either way, he was a mark for Johnson's accurately driven blows. Johnson simply wait ed for the white man to come in. and chopped his face to pieces.
 Knocked to the Ropes.
 They came into a clinch after a feeble attempt by Jeffries to land left hand blow on the body, and as they broke away Johnson shot his left and right to the jaw in a flash. Jeffries staggered back against the ropes. His defensive power seemed to desert him in an in stant. Johnson dashed at him like a tiger. A rain of lefts and rights, delivered at close quarters, sent lief fries reeling blindingly. Another series of short, snappy punches, and

JEFF WAS NEVER A MATCH FOR
 JACK
By Associated Press.

By AsSoctaoeo Press
 RENO, New, July 4.-Six years ago, when Johnson whipped Jack Jeffries, he walked up to Jim, who was in his brothers corner, and said, "I can whip you, too."
 This conviction was uppermost when the second round began. The slight indeeision and the trembling in Johnson's mouth, and the glint of trouble in his eye was gone. He forced the fighting, and into clineh and his first attempt was carefully developed right uppereut. Jeffries took it without flinehing. Johnson watched him carefully. He tried an- other and another, and missed. Then the men wrestled, but Johnson show ed as strong as Jeffries.
 ."AH right, Jim, I'll love you if yOn want me to-" he said, just before the gong.
 In the second, third and fourth rounds Jeffries had a chance if he ever had. The fight showed he could not stay long. . His friends claim that if he had started with his entire force he could have reached Johnson with sleeping blows.
 Experts say Johnson could have beaten Jeffries any time in his ea- Teer.

DEFEATED MAN NOTSERIOUSLY
 INJURED
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 RENO, New, July 4.-Jeffries, the pugilist, left his camp early this af- ternoon, and Jim Jeffries, the far mer, has returned He will never enter the ring again. That was set tied, once for all, today.
 Jeffries stepped from the house a few minutes after he had entered it, and went to his rubbing room. He walked a little unsteadily and seem ed a bit dazed. His trainers accom- panied him, and after bath he was rubbed down and drank a glass or two of wine. It was then that he made his first statement after leav- ing the ring, and said he was sorry for his friends.
 Not Seriously Injured.
 Jeffries' face is puffed from the blows, but the bleeding has been stopped. His right eye, to the blind ing of which his trainer attributes hls defeat, Tn so few rounds, IS swollen almost shut but was not ser iOusly injured. According to D-. Porter, Jeffries' physician, his in- juries are not worthy of note. He suffered far more serious damage in previous fights, the doctor said.
 Jeffries was invisible to all com CTS throughout the evening. He ord cred his friends to be supplied with champagne, but did not leave the house himself. There has been no change in Jeffries' plans. He pur- poses to return home to Los Angeles at once. He will leave with his wife and a few friends tomorrow.

By Associated Press.

By ASsocfated Press.
 RENO, New, July 4.-John Arthur Johnson, a Texas negro, son of an American slave, tonight is the frs, and undisputed heavyweight cham. pion of the world.
 James J. Jeffries of California, the winner of twenty-two champion ship fights, a man who never was brought to his knees before by a blow, tonight passed into history as a broken idol.
 While Jeffries was not actually counted out, he was saved only from that, crowning shame by his friends pleading with Johnson not to hit the fallen man again, while a towel was brought into the ring from his cor ner.
 At the end of fifteen rounds, Ref cree Riekard raised the black man $ arm, and the crowd filed out, glum and silent.
 Jeffries Damaged.
 Jeffries was dragged to his cor ner, bleeding from the nose, mouth and a dozen cuts on the face. He had black and a closed eye and swollen features and held his head in his hands, dazed and incoherent. Johnson walked out of the ring with out mark, except a slight cut on the lip, which was the reopening of the wound received in training.
 Jug Handled Affair.
 Ring experts agree it was not even a championship fight Jeffries had a chance in the second round, perhaps, but after this it was plain that the undefeated one was weak ening and was outclassed in every point, and after the eleventh round his case was hopeless.
 It was the greatest demonstration in a ring ever seen of the failure of a fighter to "come back'' after years of retirement. The youth and science of the black man made lief fries look like a green man.
 The great Jeffries was like a log. The reviled Johnson was like a black panther, beautiful in his alertness and defensive tactics. lief fries fought by instinct, it seemed, showing his gameness and great fighting heart in every round, but he was only a shell of his old self His old power to take a terrible beating and bore in until he landed a knockout blow, was gone.
 Jeffries But a Joke.
 After the third round Johnson treated his opponent almost as a joke. He smiled and blocked play fully, warding off the bear-like rusnes of Jeffries with marvellous science, now taking a blow under his arm, and again, plueking one out of the air as a man stops a baseball.
 Out of the sea of opinions and arguments that bolster up this fight and made it the talk of the world,

secretary OF the treasury disclose that fully 80
per cent. of this is not torn or tattered, in
reality shows any sign OF wear, but has been
turned back By the banks simply because 1t is
wrinlkled or limp and dirty. All Of this 80 per
cent of the currency could be Numbered and the
experiments seem to indicate that there is no
reason why each bill should not be Numbered

Millicent's Masquerade

Behind the frowning providence Of

She stood in the uncertain shelter Of
roadside elm, trying vainly to
shield her hat with a ridiculous par
asol, and specializing what chance
had such an object as she knew she

To be exact, the place was that OF

barest long chance. Because she
needed work so desperately, also be-
cause the morning had promised so
fairly, she had put on her modest
best-her white linen suit, null
trimmed hat and patent leather ties.
She had been pardonably proud of
herself as she stepped from the train
at the nearest station. There was
nobody to meet her, and her purse
forbade even suburban cab fare.
Armed with confused directions and
the rash confidence OF youth, she had
set out on foot for Overhill. the AL

half aloud. looking herself up and

The innovation is nothing short of a
scheme for laundering our currency.
lAll the processes OF washing, starch
ing and ironing will be carried out
Just as though the articles to be
cleansed were linen garments instead
of linen paper. The effect of this
scheme for freshening the currency,
when once the governments plant Is
in full operation, will be to more than
double the normal life OF our paper
circulating medium and to save the
government considerably more than
100000 per year.
That paper money can be washed
successfully is not, OF course, an en-
,tirely new discovery. From time to
time In years gone by individuals on
their own initiative have sought to
cleanse dirty bank notes with soap
