Special from United Press.l

New York. March 3O.-That James J. Jefries is really a national eharac- ter'' and one in whom the entire coun- try is deeply interested, has been fully attested by the intense excitement created by the report wired from Los Angeles, Cal, that he fell off a. wagon not a water wagon either-while on a hunting trip and broke his arm. This report was wholly disproved by 6 United Press dispatch from Mojave, Cal, late yesterday afternoon. but up to the time the United Press carried this new inquiries by the thousand were pouring in to newspaper offices all over the country. It would have taken a lively imagination to have concocted a story that would have oc- casioned more excitement than that the future opponent of Jack Johnson had put himself out of the game by breaking one of his mawlers.
 The United Press dispatch from Mo jave said that Jeffries was furious over the report. and expressed de- sire to lay his hands on the man re- sponsib1e for it. Jeffries says his only chance to break his arm is to forget himself and land little too heavy on Johnson's jaw Had the report of tn e accident to Jeffries been true, it would have meant one of the most expensive broken arms on record, the cost of which to the big ''boi1ernalker'' might have reached a quarter of a million.

Their team this year would be much better and could well hold it's head up with the Factory 1eaguers. The em- plOyes, he said, were enthusiastic and the team would be supported by the factory officials.

 the collection, valued at more than 2,O0O,0O0, to be put on sale. The

 against each visitor. It is expected that the total to be realized on the 19S pictures will run into the mil

 vases. There is but one American painter, George Innes, represented. The chronological scope of the gath

PETER ENJOYING A sIEsTA

at the head of a long table with his invited guests and he certainly show ed table manners. When flash light photo of the diners w2s taken he aS- sumed a most serious expression and really posed for the event. After the their hands Peter clapped longer aad louder than any of them. During the luncheon which was an excellent one served by Professor Atlas of the Hotel Atlas where Peter and his owners are staying, Peter had the time of his life playing tag around the stage with the Poli ushers.s He showed conclusively that he could catch them but that they could not catch him. At one stage of his tag game he got busy with the proscen- ium arch and extracted bit of plaster of paris from it.
 Mrs. McArdle. became nervous over the fact that Peter might have swal- lowed some of the plaster which both she and MT. McArdle had a great time trying to poKe it ou- of Ieter's mouth. After they had bout concluded that Peter had swallowed it, Peter walked over to them, gave, st grin and opening his hand show cd the missing chunk of plaster in It.

Marigold. The Major and the group with him thought that was the most remarkable exhibition of intelligence of the evening. Peter wanted sleep SO badly that he bid his guests good bye about ten, put on his overcoat hat and muffler and went to his hotel to be refreshed with a good sleep for today's performance and when he de- parted he left almost two score peo- pie really amazed at the wonderful humanlike intelligence of this won derful animal. It is safe to- say that thousands more will be even more amazed during the week.
