Did Not Sign Contract Richard Shows
---WiH Fight Anywhere to Get
Money.

Portland. Ore, Jan. 29.-James
j. Jeffries and the all-star athletic
troupe arrived in Portland yesterday
and showed 10 a $4,000 house at
night Referring to the dispatch stat
ing that he had signed an agreement
at Ogden with Tex Richard, jeff de-
MED it cmphatically.
II have no agreement with any in
dividual in this fight proposition, -
said Jeffries. Il signed to meet john
son before club conducted by Glea-
son and Richard and | don't care a
rap where it takes place. The only
thing l am interested in is the long
end of that $1O1,0OO purse and I'm
going to get it. If Richard and Glea-
son are at outs l don't know it, but
| am protected by the forfeits they
posted at the time of signing the ar
ticles"
Asked where he thought the fight
would be held, Jeffries said:
Governor Spry of Utah has de-
clared he would not permit the fight
TO occur within that state under any
circumstances. It ought to be fairly
apparent that it will not be held in
Salt Lake. However, you know as
much about that matter as I do and
can draw your own conclusions.

ROCKFORD BOYS
DEFEAT LOCALS
Basketball Game Between High
Schools Results in Score
Of So to 20.
REAL MERITS NOT SHOWN
Handicap of Strange slippery Floor
Counts Against Rock Island
Well Treated.

Defeat was the lot of the Rock Is
: land high school team in the basket
ball game at Rockford last evening,
the Sox city boys winning by score
Of Sc to 20 and incidentally avenging a
trimming at the hands of the locals
uur1ng the football season.
The fact that the contest was played
on a floor which was slippery and in
a court which was entirely strange to
the locals was the principal factor in
the defeat. Coach Gray expressed the
opinion after the game that the Rock
ford team will fall before Rock Island
III case they should happen to come
together during the state tournament.
The team work of the losers was bet
ter at times than any shown by the
winners, but the Rockford boys were
accustomed to their own court and
were able TO make baskets whenever
given chance. while the slippery floor
caused the Islanders TO stumble around
helplessly.
Are Well Treated.
The treatment accorded the Rock Is
land boys was excellent and they have
40 complaint whatever to make. They
arrived in Rockford about noon yes
terday and spent large part of the
afternoon in sightseeing under the di-
rection of some of the Rockford boys.
During the game they were shown ev-
cry consideration by the Rockford stu

When the post-burial inquest

was to secure from them an ad-

the body from the basement they
used carbolic acid to counteract
the odors.
If carbolic acid were sprinkled
on the remains, Newton argued,

Newton also tried to show that
