FIGHTERS ARE READY.
Jeffries and Negro Have Both Finish
eel Their Training.

Reno. New, June 30.-James j.
Jeffries and Jack Johnson tonight are
both ready to fight. Both men com
pleted the long training work today
and will merely do light exercise
through the three days that will
elapse before they face each other to
fight out the battle for the heavy

AS johnson went toward his rooms
after boxing today he was asked what
work he contemplated tomorrow.

closes my work."
II am ready; my training Is finish
now and then to keep myself In shape
l will do no more work" This was
the statement made by Jeffries late
In the day.
Declaring that he would not work
out In the presence Of Joe Woodman
manager Of Sam Langford, Jack
Johnson personally ordered Wood
man out of the ground at the cham
pion's training quarters today. 1t is
understood that Johnson took .offense
at the reported declarations made by
Langford and his manager shat .he
champion dared not fight Langford.
The feeling dates back to the time
when Johnson boxed with Langford
in an exhibition at San Francisco
several weeks ago. 1t is said.
When Johnson returned from
jaunt on the road today he learned
that Woodman was on the grounds.
Summoning the deputy sheriff on
duty at the hotel he instructed him
to tell Woodman to leave. The off,
Ger did 80 but Woodman refused to
go. Later Johnson found woodman
standing on the porch of the hotel
and asked him to leave the grounds.
Woodman demurred but later reced-
ed and left.
The negro did eight miles Of road
work before 10 o'clock today. This
afternoon Johnson worked energeti-
cally. Under the rays Of the moving
picture camera he toiled at gynina-
sium, boxing and posing. john l..
Sullivan was on hand to watch the
fun. Al Kaufman and big Kid"
Cotton were Johnson's opponents in
several fast rounds.

ILLICIT DISTILLING INCREASES
Statement OF Commissioner of Inter.
nal Revenue Cabell.

Washington, June 29.-Commis-
sioner Of Internal Revenue Cabell re-
Gently gave orders dispatching eight
agents to Oklahoma, Tennessee and
North Carolina. to assist in enforcing
the laws against illicit distilling. Re-
ports received at the bureau show the
great extent to which the business
has developed in these States of the
South and Southwest, which local
prohibition laws have relegated to
the dry territory. Mr.. Cabell says
there is more Illicit distillng now
than ever known before in the States
referred to.
The field force has been increased
to the limit of the appropriation
Round-ups of moonshine outfits are
frequent and a count kept recently
showed that five agents or deputies
had been shot in a period of sixty
days.
The government officials labor un-
der considerable difficulty in making
arrests, because of the Indifference OF
the people in the localities affected to
act In the capacity of informers or
to give personal assistance in captur-
ing the persons in the Illicit busi-
ness.

Carl Hagenbec, the worlds greatest
wild animal trainer and dealer, was
born in Hamburg, June 10, 1884. His
father was a fisherman. who later
embarked In business as an animal
trainer with a small collection of
seals and a polar bear brought by
a whaling expedition from the Arctic.
The fathers venture proved a failure,
whereupon young Carl, at Is years
of age, took over the outfit and start
ed out for himself. Thus was com
menced the largest animal business
in the world. Within a few years he
had collected a fair-sized menagerie
and he made a business of training
the wild animals for exhibition. With
the increase of the business he sent
expeditions to the wilds of Africa,
Asia and South America to collect
animals. In the suburbs of Hamburg
he established a great geological gar
den, where he keeps his stock in
trade, consisting at times of animals
to the value of over $1,000, 900. Nearly
one hundred trainers and attendants
are employed to look after the great
menageries which supply circuses and
geological parks all over Europe and
America.-Selected

Mr.. August w. Smith. president Of

have to curtail to cover, in part, this
loss and create a demand for our
goods. should say the output will
be cut down one-twelfth by the cur
tailment, which will be done this
summer, and will amount in all 20

George Supanchis, timberman, was
mistaken for that of Augustine. but
this error was rectified Sunday when
the latter was found.
Lying across the doorway with a
handkerchief across his face the
body Of John Augustine was found at
1880 o'clock in the second southwest
entry about 1900 feet from the No. l
shaft of the Leyden mine.
The discovery was made by a party
OF four helmet men. headed by John
e. Davidson Of the mine rescue car.
who entered the mine at 1870 a. m.
preparing to make a dash OF 1.5OO feet
from the first southwest entry. to
which point the ventilation had been
established by canvas brattices. The
body was left lying. 1t being decided
to lend every effort to find the five
who are still missing.
At 3:45 p. m. Sunday another he'll
