ten on vellum containing President
Fillmore's autograph, is now in the
possession of William Crompton's son,
S. S. Crompton of this city. The doc

signee of William P. Wilson, a private
in Company K, I'd regiment, Louisiana

This was carried to Johnson. who
warned Berger never to call him that
name again.
Berger denied he had said anything
OF the kind, but Johnson's followers
declared he did and muttered among
themselves that If Berger repeated
what he had said he would never
leave the room.

You're just an educated dog" said
Johnson to Berger. Now come out
and fight il you want to. I'll give a
thousand dollars IL you will come right
out with me and box just three
rounds"
They were finally quieted down and
the session resumed.
At the start of the meeting Berger
again named the ..ye men he wante -
Eddie Smith, Billy Roach, Charley
Eyton, Phil Wand and Johnny Herget.
Johnson renamed Welch and Graney
and said he would not even allow the
promoters, to do the selecting for him.
All sorts of compromises were sug-
gested. Berger said he would be will
ing to having the sporting editors of
the five San Francisco papers name
the referee or that he would allow
these same sporting editors to act in
conjunction with the two promoters.
There was a world of horseplay all
the way through the session, with
Johnson playing to the galleries.

RICHARD WILL BE

San Francisco, May 17.-Tex Rick
ard, who is associated with Jack Glea-
son in the promotion of the Jeffries-
Johnson contest, and who came into
prominence four years ago when he
engineered the Gans-N Nelson fight at
Goldfeld, New, was yesterday selected
to referee the battle between the two
heavyweights.
In accepting the place, however, the
Nevada promoter made 1t clear he
would step aside if JerfrIes and John
son agreed upon another man.
This settlement of the difficulty
came when 1t looked as il the meeting
to select a referee would end in an
other deadlock and after bitter words
had passed between Johnson and Sam
Berger, Jeffries' manager.
Johnson first suggested Richard,
but Berger refused to consider the Me-
vada man, saying he would not accent
him on account of his inexperience.
The colored champion declared he
would stand pat on the three men he
had mentioned-Jack WEIGH, Eddie

Minot N D.. May 17.-Plans are
being made for an endurance run, open
for owners of cars in northwestern
North Dakota and eastern Montana.
The run will take place June ii and a
handsome cup has been hung up for
the winner The route will be from
Minot to Lake Epsilon in Bottineau
county, through both a level and hflly
country SO that ample opportunity viii
be given the contestants to test both
the speed and hill climbing possibili-
ties of their cars.
Stations will be established and a
strict account kept of time taken for
repairs and time taken to make the
run. The path will go through the
following towns: Glenburn, Russell.
Newburg, Bottineau, Belcourt, Rolla
and ST. John.
Nearly every prominent automobile
owner in Minot has entered for the
run and entries are coming in from
other points through this section of
the state. 1t is thought that about
nifty cars. or more will enter. There is
keen rivalry between the agents of
various cars to test the ability of their
cars
This will be the first endurance run
ever held in North Dakota in which
practically the entire route is across
the prairies The roads for the most
part In the section, except where the

Graney and Rickard-and Berger in

attended the session that the last word
has not been said and that sooner or
later the referee question again must
be taken UP for consideration. II has
been rumored that to give the impress
sion everything Is in working order,
that Richard is selected temporarily in
order to give further time to look the
field over. This feeling, in fact, has
been strengthened by the statement
made by Richard.
Berger, during the negotiations, lost
his head completely and missed many
a chance to score a telling point. From
the start he showed his temper and
toward the close it looked for a time
as IL there would be a free for all fight.

reached, Berger in an undertone, de-
