JEFFRIES' MANAGERS
Plan A long TOUR
AROUND THE WORLD

Chicago, Mar. 29.-(special)-sam
Berger, manager for Jim Jeffries,
has already counted ten" ON Jack
Johnson. After several days negoti-
ations the Frazee-Berger company
has been organized, which will have
for it's purpose the showing to peo-
pie of the earth how the boilermaker
did it.
1T is all over but the shouting"
said Berger yesterday, land we have
all our plans laid for the trip arouni /
the world after the fight at Emery
vile. Jeffries will be the headliner
and Frank Gotch will be another
one. There will be enough more to
make up party of 25. We Will
start from Frisco one week after the
fight and probably have the first per-
fOrmance in Texas"
But suppose that Jeffries is
knocked out?" was the query
Impossible" was the answer.
"Jeffries is already under the wire;
there isn't chance in the world for
him to lose; no, not to the darkey.
Besides, can tell you that Jeffries
won't retire from the ring as long as
there are any colored gentlemen on
earth to dispute his title. He will
quit for good If some good white man
comes to the front to defend the title
but he is liable to be in the game
until he is so years old if more Jack
Johnsons should show up"
Berger said that he had not closed
with Joe Choynski to become advis-
er as yet, but hopes to before he
leaves for the coast. Choynski
thinks he will be unable to get away
from his business, but lie has hopes
of arranging plans.
Jack Gleason, one of the two pro-
moters of the fistic undertaking, is
still busy with the railroad men and
may not be able to leave for the east
before Wednesday.

Washington, Mar. 29.-A speech in
the senate today by Senator Cham
berlain of Oregon in support of the
land withdrawal bill. the first Of the
presidents conservation measures
served to elicit from other senators
a number of remarks of sufficiently
varied character to Justify the pre-
iiction that the conservation bills
would be vigorously resisted when
their consideration is reached.
The debate aroused by Mr.. Cham
berlain's speech served to bring all
of the members of the conservation
subcommittee to their feet, and their
utterances were confirmatory of the
previous statement that Messrs.
Smoot, Dixon and Chamberlain
would be found supporting the con-
servation bills and Messrs. Clark and
Hughes opposing them.
The discussion was brought out by
quotations by Mr.. Chamberlain from
a report of the national conservation
committee, which report Mr.. Cham

Chief Of Police Ertle says he has
completed his chain % of evidence
against Catherine MANI, sixteen
years old, charged with the mur ier
of her sister, Elizabeth, three years
her senior. 1t Is planned to place
the young girl on trial in April. The
police still insist that the young
girl poisoned her sister with strych-
nine. They claim that Trey have
proof that Catherine was jealous OF
the pretty clothing and trinkets
worn by her sister, and to secure
these she killed her sister. The
young girl was confined in a dark
cell in Massillon for forty.efght
hours, but beyond complaining that
she wanted to have better clothing
in jail has shown no emotion over
her sisters death. She told story
of how some strange man had asked
her to buy drugs for him but the po-
lice declare this is a piece of fiction
on the part Of the girl.

RAINS IN MOUNTAINS
QU{NcH FOREST FIRES

The downpour of rain which occur
red last evening in the Blue mountains
did more in few minutes toward ex-
tinguishing the forest fires which have
been creating such havoc that all the
forest rangers, soldiers and settlers
have been able to accomplish in weeks
of the hardest kind of work. The
rain began falling a few minutes be-
fore 6 o'clock and continued for sew
eral hours.
Water was soon running in dry gull
lies that have not seen water before
in many weeks, the parched range
was frightened up and altogether
much good was accomplished aside
from the forest fire work.
Though the range was the best this
spring that was ever known in the
mountains. the long dry summer has
caused It to be in very poor condition
for many weeks. The grass is there
but 1t Is dried up until 1t has lost
much of its nourishing power and
owners of sheep and cattle have been
complaining for several weeks that
their stock was not doing well. If
last nights rain should be followed
in a few days with a second one as
heavy, the range conditions will be
greatly changed for the better.

Beverly, Aug. 16.-Scheme of Pres
ident Taft to reorganize the republi-
can party is steering a stormy course.
Speaker Cannon refuses absolutely to
be eliminated and information consid-
cred reliable says that Secretary Bal
lnger will not resign unless the presi-
dent so requests him. Senator AID
rich is still announcing he will retire
but it is generally understood he ex-
poets to retain his hold on party af-
fairs, and will not voluntarily re-
linquish 1t.
Senator Crane, who, it is believed
is the chief advisor of the president,
is alleged to have advised the chang
es 1t is understood tremendous pres
sure has been exerted to make Taft
get busy and make good the program
Crane has outlined. 1t is reported
that when Crane approached Ballin-
ger regarding his retirement, Ballin-
ger told Crane he could not see how
it would help the party and instead
would make him the scapegoat for
others leaders mistakes. Ballinger
declared Taft found him trust
worthy and would not resign unless
the president said so. 1t is understood
Taft is being urged to give the secre-
tary a resignation hint.

FRANCE LOOKS TO
j. S. FOR WHEAT

Portland, Aug. 16.-With crops
ruined by excessive rains, France has
turned to America for wheat and To-
cal exporters have been ordered to
buy bluestem. Although the wheat
market has advanced 12 cents, only
small lots have moved within the past
"a hours from the interior on the ia
sis of 9S 1-2 trackage, Portland. Far
mers are holding throughout the
northwest, seemingly believing that
higher prices will prevail. A promi-
nent French grain man in Chicago
said: 1T will take France several
years to- recover from her failure of
crops. eThe terrifif rains ruined the
farmes and the bankes' losses are tre-
mendous. We usually look to Bull
garia, Russia and Argentina for wheat
but this year turn to America as a
last resort

Prosser, of Seattle and Cleveland, for
the killing of her husband aboard a
passenger train near Libby in June,
began today with County Prosecutor
Maiden still examining talesmen. Mrs.
Prosser looked tired and worn in

since she learned the state will not
ask the death penalty If she is con-
visited. Yesterday afternoon she col
lapsed and the court adjourned until
late in the afternoon to give the wo-
man time to recover
