Jeff Received.
$62,8l2 for Trip
Just Ended.

Chicago. Feb. 1S.--James Jeffries
drew down s62,S12.2S for his tour of
SO days. in which time he appeared at
1O1 performances. He received SAL
airy allowance of $12,666.66. while his
share OF the profits amounted TO $780,
1850. The gross receipts of the tour
amounted to s2O3,7121s. of which the
company's share was s14S.616.2S.
This was the pith of the statement
issued by Harry Frazee. who managed
the show from the time it started at
Atlantic City, Nov. II. 1909, until it
closed at Hibbing. Mimi. on Feb. H.
Wrestling Champion Frank Gotch
received a salary of $13,166. Frazee and
sam Berger. who was the formers
partner in the venture. took for their
end s43,3261s. There was considerable
expense attached to the tour. which
was paid by FraZee, except hotel bills
these being paid by the principals
Railroad fares, including private cars
on part of the journey, amounted to
so. 1919, while incidental expenses
reached se291.31
From this statement it easily can be
seen that no show of the kind ever at
tempted netted such huge profits, and
If Ieffries is successful in defeating
johnson on July 4. the world tour OF
10 months which Frazee has planned
should bring hundreds Of thousands of
dollars The receipts ran from $500 at
Hamilton, Ohio, to 5000 at Denver At
no stage of the trip was Frazee, the
promoter, in danger of losing money
on the venture, and the tour served
the purpose OF testing the pulse of the
people in regard to the coming battle.

THEFT FROM CHURCH
Thieves Mingle With Pensioners and
Carry of Purses.

While attending devotions at the
Immaculate Conception church last
Saturday evening Miss Maud Rey-
nolds was the victim of theft She
left her purse beside her in the pew
when she entered and thought no more
Of it until she was ready to leave when
she was unable to find any trace of it.
Father Cullen said that a number of
similar thefts had been reported dur
ing the last year and warned the con-
gregation to be more careful with
their valuables when in the church
and especially on Saturday evenings.
The Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception is located in the heart of the
downtown district, making it a very
easy matter for thieves to step in and
perform their work of looting during
services. Practitioners naturally do
not expect to come in contact with
thieves and often the women leave
their purses on the seats beside them
SO that those who want to steal can
do so without any fear of detection.
