LAURIUM
LARGE CROWD WITNESS
PICTURES OF Big FIGHT

The picture films of the Jeffries-
johnson fight at Reno, Nevada, were
shown at the Palestra yesterday af-
ternoon and evening under the au-
spices of Manager Roy Cooley Of the
Lyric theater. Large crowds visited
the Palestra for both entertainments.
The pictures are clear and show
distinctly every feature OF the great
battle for the heavyweight honors,
also Views of the picturesque town
Of Reno and Of the training camps
of the participants in that contest
The pictures but reproduce the story
OF the fight that came from the ring
side on the afternoon of the Fourth
and clearly show the supremacy Of
the giant black. AS most Of the mill
ing was at close range. the cleverness
Of the men and the scientific side of
the encounter is not as apparent as I'm
the pictures Of other fights. but for
anyone who closely follows the results
of the early rounds there can be lit
tie doubt about the outcome. The
pictures show. however. that Jeffries
put up n game battle and one which
was a credit to him. Pictures Of the
immense crowd which thronged the
arena and of the souvenir hunters and
notables at the ringside at the close
OF the encounter are also interesting.
While the pictures have been bit
terly opposed I'm many Of the larger
cities, it is hardly thought they have
done any real harm in this city. The

themselves both in the af-
ternoon and evening left the promOt-

GOOD FOR SMALL COUNTIES.
Constitutional Amendment to Be vot-
ed on in November.

The first amendment TO the new con-
stitution of Michigan will be voted up
on at the general election of Nov. s.
This proposed amendment is to give
some of the less prosperous counties
an opportunity to increase their debt
to per cent of their total assessed
valuation. The constitution as IL now
stands permits of total Indebtedness
to but 8 per cent of the total assessed
valuation. and i'm some of the smaller
counties this gives little opportunity
for making necessary Improvements.
The proposed amendment is as fol-
lows:
mo county shall incur any indebt-
edness which shall increase it's total
debt beyond 3 per cent OF its assessed
valuation. except counties having an
assessed valuation of s5,000,OO or less,
which counties may increase their to-
tai debt to per cent OF their assessed
The amendment is to Article VIII
Section IL. AS stated, IL gives the
right to counties with an assessed
of $5,O0O,0OO or unGer

is termed, or else procure quitclaim
deeds from all persons having a sha-

chance of subsequent litigation over
the validity of the title. The latter
procedure is almost invariably follow
