DIDN'T WANT KETCHEI. AFRO
Jeffries Has Him Elected From His
Camp.

Jeffries Training Camp, Moana
Springs, July Sunday was a day of
idleness but intense nervous strain at
the Jeffries camp. SPRAYED at ms
ease beneath the shade trees of the
lawn, the white champion was appar-
emily the calmest man in the camp.
His wife. his three brothers and his
trusted friends spent the daylight
hours with him, and no one mentioned
or limited at thu ordeal of today JEFF
fries mind apparently was at peace
and he gave no sign of worry.
Jeffries did not want any one
around his camp who has been on
friendly terms with johnson since he
came to Reno. This was shown sun
day afternoon, when he had Stanley
Ketchel, the middle weight champion,
put out of his training quarters and
off the grounds.
Jeffries was engaged in game of
cards with some of his staff the
lawn when Ketchel. who had motored
out from town, came strolling up. He
stood behind Jeffries for moment be-
fore the big fellow became aware of
his presence. When he finally saw him
Jeffries calmly turned around and
said:
II don't want you here. You have
been fooling around with that negro
and L don't think you belong here at
ALL"
away Jeffries continued playing for a
few moments and then. turning to
Farmer Burns, jerked his head in the
direction of Ketchel and said
Put that fellow OUT
Burns got up, took Ketchel by the
shoulder and turned him toward the
cottage. Walking with the middle
weight champion as far as the porch,
Burns gave him a mild push toward
the steps and Ketchel quietly walked
out at the gate and took his car to
town.

CONV|CTS ON STATE
ROADS
$50 Prisoners to Aid Build
ing Highways When
Jute Mills Close.

Between 600 and $50 convicts will
be at work on state roads and at the
convict camps where crushed rock is
being prepared for highway building
as soon as the penitentiary jute mill
is closed on July 1.
1t is expected that Warden Charles
S. Reed will distribute at least 400 Of
the 900 men employed in the jute
mill among the various convict camps
of the state. With the men now en-
gagged on road work the most thor
ough test the state has ever made of
convict labor will be undertaken.
Additional men will be sent to the
Lyle camp on state road No. s to
complete the highway around the
mountain above Lyle in time to make
the road accessible to farmers in Klic-
kitat County who will use it this fall
in hauling crops to market.
The convict camp at Blanchard,
where men are working on the old
waterfront or state road No. will
be increased. Bunk houses were plac-
ed at the states disposal for this
work by J. J. Donovan and extra
quarters will be provided for the new
men.
At a railroad commission hearing
last week a station and station agent
was ordered at Blanchard, the mill
company shipping from that point
guaranteeing to reimburse the Great
Northern for the extra expense. The
The new station will facilitate the
states work on the highway.
There the thirty convicts at each of
the rock-crushing plants at Meskill
and on Fidalgo Island and the extra
prison labor supply will allow the
state to work both these plants to
full capacity.
New Plants Installed.
New rock plants are being installed
at Marshall Junction, near Spokane,
and the new site near North Yakima.
Railroad spurs have been built to
each of the new plants. The output
of these new plants will be utilized on
road work in the immediate vicinity
of the plants.
Experiments with the convict labor
both on the state highways and at
the rock crushing plants is declared
to have proven profitable with the
short crews employed. Working the
camps to their full extent it is claimed
by highway officials that substantial
profit can be shown 1t is claimed ii
will be unnecessary to increase the
| number of guards at the convict
camps, and as all the manual labor
is done by the prisoners, the only ad-
ditional maintenance charge is the
cost of food.

For the past three years when she
left Durango for Salt Lake, Mrs. Ros-
