FIGHT FILMS At NEW YORK.
Mayor GaynOr May BE Asked 20
View Them.


New York. July s.-The moving picture
people have decided TO proceed very eau
tiously In the matter OF presenting the
pictures OF the Jeffries-Johnson fight
No attempt VIII be made 20 ask aid OF
the courts or take any legal steps what
ever in localities where they are under
the ban until some moral suasion has
been tried and trial performances given
for the private view OF the authorities
1t is hoped that such performances will
bring about a change ia sentiment
The pictures Of the fight. or at least
one negative. comprising several rolls Of
films. arrived here to-day IN charge OF
". z Rock, president Of the Vitasraph
Company OF America. who has raced
across the continent.
Late this afternoon the Development
process had got FAR enough along for
the foreman to pronounce the pictures
almost perfect.
If everything goes well and Mayor
Gaynor does not follow the example Of
some OF the other mayors, people IN New
York win probably have a chance 10 see
the fight from orchestra seats a week
from Monday. On Wednesday Il IS the
purpose Of the moving picture folks TO
give a special performance for the news
papers and some invited guests, among
whom VIII probably be the police off,
Gals and possibly the mayor himself.
This fight against the pictures said
Mr.. Rock, affects us only indirectly
OF course. the bidders have got to take
the chances, but some undoubtedly will
count upon political influence to carry
them through. OF course. IL will be for
the successful bidder 90 make a fight 70

presented otherwise.

colonel. Hereafter they viii all haul

difficulty"
Referring 10 the time OF the French,
the colonel insisted that the development
OF the work as # progressed would have
soon suggested the feasibility OF a lock
canal to these earlier workers. They
would have had TO face bitter disappoint-
ment In finding that much of what they
had already done was useless. With
twenty-three rivers pouring into the
prism, and the landslides coming into It
from tine TO time, 1t is seen even by IN
skilled observers that sea level canal
was out OF the question, II the purpose
OF getting ships through az all times was
TO be achieved. The sea level advocates

TO conceal their identity. It was very
dark, but Jailer Crack thinks several OF
the band wore masks. They marched up
10 the Jail and awakened the jailer by
pounding on the grating OF a window
near his bedroom.

tend to get him. the ringleaders Of the
band said, in low. firm tones.
well, you can't have him. boys" the
jaiIer shouted back. You're too late. I
heard you were coming. and Jackson is
already out OF the jail"
At first the would-be lynchers were
angry at the failure Of their plan and
refused 70 accept the jaller's word. The
tailer himself, however, has been known
for years TO all the soldiers OF the fort
and to civilians living in that neighbor-
hood and he soon convinced them that
he was telling the truth and that the
negro was already far on his way to-
ward another place Of custody.
JaileF Fully Armed.
While the jailer was talking he was
wary about exposing himself before the
grating OF the window. He let the
raiders understand that he was fully
armed and was prepared 20 defend him
self against any attack upon the Jail.
The would-be lynchers themselves asked
the jailer not TO fire upon them and as
sured him that they would do nothing #
It was true, as he said, that Jackson had
been removed from the Jail.
Jailer Crack on his part. begged the
soldiers not TO fire upon the Jail. as he
had ten children. five OF his own and
five OF his sisters. in the Jail with him.
The parley before the door Of the jail
lasted several minutes, and finally the
band sulked OF, carrying the coils OF
rope with them.

Politicians here believe that Theodore

stump In the coming Congress cam

gagements-one a speech in Massachu-
sets in behalf Of Senator Lodge, and the
other q speech in Indiana in the interests
Of Senator Beverage. A third public ap-
pearanee Is in prospect. II the Ohio
Republicans should nominate either Mich
olas Longworth or James r. Garfield for
governor Mr.. Roosevelt could easily be
persuaded TO make a speech or two in
that State.
Up in the Northwest there is a demand
that Col. Roosevelt shall speak in behalf
of a number Of candidates. Once Mr..

Garfield still Has Hopes.
It became known yesterday that James
R Garfield still has hopes of landing the
gubernatorial nomination in Ohio.
He has in his possession letter writ
ten TO him by President Taft assuring
him Of support IL he is the choice OF the
Ohio convention. It Is needless 10 say
that this letter was written a long time
before Bfr Garfield was projected into
the Taft "in-bad" club by reason Of his
open support of the Pinchot side OF the
BaIiinger-PI nchot controversy. There is
a prospect that the Taft letter to Mr..
Garfield may be given publicity at the
proper time.

BRUSSELS SHOW INCOMPLETE

Brussels, July 9-Though It Is couple
of months since the Brussels Interna-
tlonal Exhibition was officially opened
by King Albert IN person. It Is neverthe-
less the case that even now the great
show is not quite complete There IS
one building at least within the exhibi-
ton which is only now leaving the con-
structor's hands. and. of course. its In
terror embellishments and furnishing
have yet to be begun. The plasterer is
still busy in divers places.
Every modern exhibition is more or
less a plasterers carnival. and here in
Brussels, the plasterer, to say nothing OF

his wake, has not yet said his .ast word.

exhibition on the afternoon OF the official
opening and who bends his steps once

struck by the vast amount of progress

Though not yet in possession of ali its
powers as a great object-lesson in the

the appearance Of a living thing. Incom-

MAYOR WHITLOCK

brutality Is dangerous-economlcal dam

brutality involves an economic risk-it
might hurt business. It might cost men
their soft positions. Since the fight end

some question OF race superiority was
involved In IT,
Race Question Not Involved.
THAT question IS not involved. and il
can't be settled that way, anyhow. For
instance, have no doubt that Jenfries
even In his battered and bruised eondi-
ton could whip Booker 7. Washington.
or that Johnson could whip Toistoi.
whenever he wanted TO. Perhaps he could
whip Col. Roosevelt and many other of
the leading Representatives OF our race
But even II he could and did nobo6y

superiority OF one race over the other.

Alexandria. Va. July s--A plant has
been raised already by property owners
who have looked over the new State
assessment. just completed by state AS
SCISSOR James B Fitzgerald. which shows
an increase Of s1.064. $50 over the ASSESS
ment taken five years ago, most OF which
Is due TO the raising Of taxes all around.
Doubtless. the matter viii be greatly
agitated when all the property owners
whose assessments have been raised
learn OF their new assessment. While Il
is true that some places IN Alexandria
have never been equitably assessed be-
fore. and in some instances the present
assessment on some Is regarded as low,
on the other hand there are other prop
erty owners who claim that their assess
ment just made is entirely too high.
There are certain sections OF the city
where property values have increased.
and. on the other hand, there are other
sections where the values have practi-
cally remained unchanged, and have re-
NAMED 50 for many years past. II is the
people who own property in these sections
who are particularly registering COM
plants. and their only redress will be the
courts.
In the meantime, It Is promised that
the city council viii reduce the present
city assessment. which IS $50 on the S1o0
Notwithstanding, property owners will
pay an increase Of taxes into the State
treasury and unless the proposed cut for
city taxes is very low, they will alto
gether pay considerably more taxes than
they ever paid before. The State tax
Is So cents on the 500.
