 BY CH|CAGO REPORT THAT HIS FIGHT WITH JOHNSON WAS TO BE A FAKE He Was On the Point of Givina Up
 in Disgust

Ben Lomond, June 2-"For two pins, I'd pack up and take my family back to the ranch and call the whole thing off"
 James J. Jeffries made this state ment today when he was shown an interview sent out by news agency from Chicago, quoting Governor Gill lett as saying the Jeffries- Johnson fight was a fake" and arranged for the white man to win.
 Jeffries was hurt over the matter. T cannot believe" he said that Governor Gillett has been truthfully a word against the fight, but if he did, it was all uncalled for and un- true"
 T wonder what I have ever done in the ring or in any other walk of life to be accused of crookedness. I quit the fight game once because I did not care for those connected with it. or the knockers who were continually rapping it and now this story has come. It is enough to break man up"

Later when the Gill lett story was declared untrue by the governor himself, quiet returned to the camp and Jeffries went to work again. Handball and bag punch ing took up most of the time.

who are detailed as cooks in other companies. These amateurs get their jobs because they are too lazy to drill. or because they known how to peel potatoes well. Considering the cook ing which they are up against. it is a wonder that a third of the Michigan brigade is not stretched out on hospi- tai cots some time during the To-day camp.
 Major John s. Bersey. commanding the First Battalion, First Infantry. came to the conclusion this winter that an army cook should know all about army cooking. So he promulgated the order that the cooks in three com panies of his battalion should be eX- cused from drill and hie to the kitchen once q week
 He went along with them. and along with him vent what is probably the finest practical cookbook in existence It is called the Manual for Army Cooks and so great are it's possibiH- ties that a chef well veFsed in it can disguise the army ration SD temptingk that even the quartermaster would never recognize it
 The manual is an Old-timer. It has been in existence for years and years, and every recipe in it was gravely and scientifically tested by a board of army officers before being included.
 Major Bersey is of the opinion that bright. willing young fellows. properly taught. make better army cooks than the professional chef wrongly in structed in field cooking. The six men under his charge are of the former class. None of them knew anything about preparing meals when taken In hand. One is a chauffeur; another Is an automobile tester; the others are labOrers or factory hands.-Detr5dt Tribune.

CHAMP CLARKS VIEWS
ON PARLIAMENTARIAN PLAN
by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
Washington, March 29.-Representa-
tive Champ Clark, the minority leader
in the house has predicted that It
would be a long time before the house
would elect a non-partisan parliament
tartan speaker.
Mr.. Clark was questioned as to his
views on the proposition emanating
from some of the 'insurgent" republi-
cans to elect Asher c. Kinds parlia-
mentarlan of the house.
q thing the plan OF electing a parlia-
mentarian as speaker is very likely to
be adopted in the house some day, -
was the reply. 1T is a logical idea.
But | donbt If such a radical step will
be taken in the near future.
Great changes in government come
slowly For 100 years we have been
adding TO the power of the speaker OF
the house, and not until a week ago
last Saturday was a successful move
made to take away power. As we have
been a century or more adding to the
power OF the presiding officer, ! do not
look for Il all to be swept away in one
day or in a few days. II will take
time"
