Water Wagon Always Safe Anyway.
The bill introduced at the legislature
for county option will. if it become a
law, be a pretty radical one. but if
we understand it correctly, will work
no dissension in the majority of the
counties in the state. 1t means that
if the bill becomes law it will pre-
vent license being issued in a town
unless the majority of the towns in
the county favor it, and not by ma
iority vote many would, perhaps infer.
The longer the people keep on discuss
ing the rum question the more intri-
cate the subject appears to get. So if
we all ride on the water wagon it will

Jeffries Spends a Day of IdIeness
in Training Camp.

Jeffries' Training Camp. Moana Springs,
! New. July 3.-This was a day of ldleness

| the shade trees of the lawn, the white
! champion was apparently the calmest man
/ I'm the camp His wife his three brothers
and his tried and trusted friends spent the
DAY with him and no one mentioned or
limited at the ordeal of tomorrow JET
/ fries mind apparently was at peace ana
he gave no sign Of worry.
Whatever the outcome of the fight. JET

The staring. curious crowds have tried ms
patience almost TO the breaking point. For
months he has submitted to the INVASION
Of his private life: his every move has
been watched and ChroniCled. his most IN
innate thoughts and plans discussed and
he yearns for tbs Seclusion OF MS own
home.
All was strangely quiet around JeiIIltS
camp to-day But for the shifting rest
loss crowds that thronged the road before
his cottage there would have been no hint
Of the impending battle. From the hotel
across the road came the whine of the

Jecries does not want any one around
his camp who has been on friendly terms
with johnson since he came TO Keno
This was shown this afternoon when he
had Stanley Ketchel nIiddleweght cham

Ieffries was engaged in a game of cards
with some of his staff on the lawn when
Ketchel. who had motored out from town,
came strolling up He stood behind Jeffries
for a moment before the big fellow became
aware of his presence. When he nnally
saw him Jeffries calmly turned around and
said:

MINISTER DENoUNCEs NEVADA
By Allowing Prizefght Befouls the
Reputation of Nation. He Saws.

In his sermon on THE Fourth of July at
the Bedford Presbyterian Church. Nostrand
avenue and Dean street, Brooklyn, yester-
day morning Dr. S Edward Young de-
bounced Nevada and her Governor for al
lowing prizefght at Reno He said:
The decadence of sthe old patriotic cele-
bratton was bad enough, the prolonged and
dangerous bombardment by fireworks was
worse, but to have as our one national In
dependence Day event this brutal exhibition
of pugilists is relapse into barbarism for
which we will pay A terrible penalty. The
beast in hundreds of thousands of men and
boys will be terminated and will show
itself in countless lesser fights. The race
problem will be upon us afreSh, the battle
being between a black and a white. Think
YOU the Booker r. Washington luncheon
at the White House was circumstance 10
the race feud this contest is likely to pro-
woke? If the negro wins. the perfectly nat
ural increase of sef-assertion by multi
tudes OF negroes will make life miserable
particularly throughout the South.
Nevada and it's Governor have grossly be
fouled the reputation of the United States
among all nations. Our best influence Is
impaired everywhere. Nevada ought TO be
made to suffer as an example to all states.

For many years the struggle to hold the
blue ribbon of the ring has occupied the
undivided attention of the followers of
boxing. The title has changed hands any
number of times, but James j. Jeffrfes was
the only one who voluntarily gave up his
claim TO It and retired unbeaten because
Re could not find a man who dared to face
him. After knocking out Jack Monroe in
two rounds at San Francisco on August Is
1901, Jeffries stepped aside.
Three we'll known fighters had held the
title before Jeffries fought his way to the
top. John l. Sullivan became the undis-
puted holder when he defeated Jake Kilrain
al Richburg, Miss, on July S. 1889, after a
grueIling struggle of seventy-f1ve rounds
without gloves Corbett was the next star
to appear. taking care of Kilrain in six
rounds at New Orleans on February 49,
1850, and humbing John L. Sullivan in
twenty-one rounds at New Orleans on Sep

years. and in the mean time promising
contender in the person of Bob Fftzsimmons
sprang into notice. match was arranged
with Corbett at Carson City on March Il,
1897. and Fitzsimmons won after fourteen
rounds with the now famous solar pleXuS
blow
At this time Jeffries began his career au-
spiciously by defeating Fitzsimmons in
eleven rounds at Coney Island on June 9,
1899, and again in eight rounds at San
Francisco on July 5. 1862. Next Tom Shar-
KEY fell before his mighty punch at the
end of twenty-five rounds at Coney Island

down for the first time before the new
aspirant for honors at Coney Island on

makers camp that these two men will tell
Jeffrfes what he should do and that all
other men in the corner must keep quiet
This was done to avoid confusing the
fighter.
In Berger, JeffrieS selected a young man
who has proved himself a fighter as well
s a keen business man. AS an amateur
pugilist he made a great record on the
Coast. winning more than forty fights by
knockouts. He represented the Olympic
Club of San Francisco at the ST Louis
Worlds Fair. Berger fought only few
professional battles. retiring from the ring
to engage in business. He has been JEFF
fries's business manager for a year
Corbett was chosen by Jeffries as his
second adviser because of his extensive
knowledge of the fighting game. Corbett
was brought out by Billy Delany, who will

The admission of Bob Armstrong into
the corner is generally regarded In the
jefries camp as a generous act on the ex
boilermakers part. Armstrong who is q
negro, has worried much over whether he
would be called into the ring He feared
that Jeffries would not admit him inside
the ropes. Still loyal to his employer. how
