HAWLEY BROTHERS TO RECOVER FROM
 SISTER, $II,925

Judge Howard J. Curtis in the Su-
 perior Court has found for the plain
 tiff to recover $11,925 and costs in
 the suit of William and Alan HaWley of New York against their sister, Jennie M. Hawley Levee of New Ca naan, according to a decision render ed this morning. Prior to 1905 the two brothers advanced to their sister about $9,000 in notes. These notes the sister claimed were gifts. The court finds that the three lived in accord, mutual trust and confidence up to 1905. The sister kept house for her brothers, who in turn gave her various sums of money The court finds that if the estate of the mother had been divided at the time of her death, the sister would have received an equal share with the brothers, less the 5000 advanced to her through them. The court finds that the brothers held the notes against their sister in case something should happen. AS has been shown, something did happen, for the sister eloped with one Louis Levee, an aeronaut, though the brothers never had expected such an occurrence. as the sister had passed the half cen tury mile stone.

what Trains leaving the city today were damned and the railroads, that maintain service to the beach re- sorts, carried regular trains with a number of trailers following to carry away the crowds. It was estimated by Police Captain Michael Calvin, commanding the Coney Island pre- cinct, that more than 50,O00 spent the night on the sands at the beach resort. With the certainty that the weather would continue hot and the weather observer declaring that only thunderstorms (and the prospect of them remote) would interfere with three days of pleasure, the proprie- tors of every beach resort within 50 miles of this city prepared to reap a harvest that would make up for the vast amounts lost by the wet spring season.
 All the exchanges were closed to- day and will remain closed until July 9th, and many of the big stores also shut down to give their employees q three days rest.

NEW YORK CASTING FROM EFFECTS

The parks, roofs, fire-escapes and beach resorts were turned into camping places last night where thousands tried vainly to get refreshing sleep. The humid atmosphere caused more suffering than when the mercury was lowering about the hundred mark and the emergency hospitals and regular in- stitutions all reported cases of pros tration.
 Five deaths, directly due to the heat, had been reported to the police early today and many of the prostra- tions were recorded as very seri- ous."

With this end in view, Jeff has actually spent more time on the massage table than in the ring and the result will be an athletic masterpiece for speed and en- durance.
 A great deal has been said about Jeff's lack of boxing practice. On the eve of the fight, now that secrecy is no longer of any value, I will say that Jeff has had practically double the amount of boxing and massage that the public has heard of. For sev- eral weeks past and on every day when the crowd was disappointed in not getting in to see the big fellow work. he was boxing. Jeff has been rising at a. m. and thus has been pulling out his brother Jack and Bob Armstrong for secret boxing. These workouts were invariably followed by massage, the whole proceedings being Kept secret in order to clinch the be- lief in Johnson's camp that Jeff was not working as hard as necessary.
 Jeff will win this fight we'll under 20 rounds but should the battle go be- yond that it will see Jeff carrying the ' as to surprise all except his most in- timate followers.

 HOW THE PURSE
 WILL BE DIVIDED.
 It has been known for many months that Jeffries and Johnson would battle for a purse of $101 ,0OO. The articles of agreement call for a division of this purse on the basis of 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent. to the loser. Regarding the matter Rickard said:
 Absolutely, and upon my word as, a man, as the word is understood in Nevada, there is a $10OO0O purse for which Jeffries and Johnson will fight. UT TCHeTmOre, IHIS purse IS IO De split 75 and 25, as called for by the arti- cles of agreement There is not and never was any agreement between the two fighters to divide the purse in equal parts, win, lose or draw.
 "Ever since the articles were sign ed in New Jersey each man has been confident that he would be the win ner, and for that reason was not will ing to split even when he believed that he could get the big end of the purse by simply defeating the other man. Both men have been put to big expense in preparing for this fight and naturally desire to make all they can out of it, and know as the one who has been closest in touch with both of them that at no time has there been a desire to evenly divide the purse. Each one wants and expects to win three-quarters of it for himself"
