JOHNSON ORDERS HIM AWAY
Langford's Manager is Driven From
Negro Fighters Camp.

Reno, New, June 30. Joe Wood
man, Sam Langford's manager, was
ordered off the grounds at Johnson's
camp today. Johnson first sent dep
uty sheriff to Woodman and when the
latter refused to go, came out himself
and requested Langford's manager to
leave. Woodman drove back to the
city at once.
Contrary to the usual sparring sys-
tenn employed during the last several
weeks. the champion did not place
himself wholly on the defensive, but
forced the work himself, much to the
discontinue of his opponent. At the
conclusion of the twelve fast rounds
the negro was still breathing lightly
and there was no indication of fatigue.
Johnson showed vast appreciation of
the governors favorable comments on
his condition.

The Crimson Freshmen Eiaht.oared
Crew Beats the Yale Youngsters and
the Harvard Varsity Fouroared
Crew Beats the Blue.

New London, June 30. - Harvard
cleared up the Thames this morning
with two victories over Yale. The
crimson freshmen eight-oared crew
beat the youngsters from New Haven
by three lengths and the Harvard var.
sity four bettered this performance a
little later by rowing away from Yale
in the last eighth mile of surprising
race and finishing four lengths in the
lead.
A quartering downstream breeze
which rose to Fights knots an hour
before the second race began to cut
down the time and although both the
winning crews were strong, both races
were slow.
New London, Conn, June 3d.
Three hard races for the crews and a
scorching for the spectators were the
early morning predictions for race day
in the Thames river. The morning
dawned clear and the sun had an easy
task of dispensing the few clouds in
the sky. Harvard and Yale crews had
breakfast and then lounged about the
grounds until it was time to call away
the minor crews.
The regatta on the Thames each
year is a sight never to be forgotten.
The thousands who see it are beyond
count and the scene stretching away
for four miles is gorgeous with life
and color.

Hoqrefe Resided at Hooper.

Hooper, June 30.-Henry Hografe,
who has been arrested at Altoona ON
the charge of wife murder, is known
in Hooper. He formerly conducted a
blacksmith shop here.
About eight years ago Hografe
came to Hooper and shortly afterward
was married to the daughter of Mrs.
Charles Filing. Mr.. Filing is the step
father of the girl. He is an aged and
respected retired farmer, who retired
and moved to Hooper some fifteen
years ago. Filing, it is said, furnished
the money for his new son-in-law to
launch blacksmith shop. 1t was
opened for business in Hooper, but did
not flourish and the family moved
away. 1t was known here that Mr..
and Mrs. Filing entertained suspicious
concerning the death of the young
woman. 1t was known that they
caused her stomach to be sent away
for examination. The twin children of
Hografe have been in Hooper for the
last three weeks.

DIVES FROM BROOKLYN BRIOGE
t7-Year.old Youth In New York Leaps
Down 1856 Feet.

New York, June 30.--A sharp fea-
tured understood youth In ragged
swimming trunks, with a skinny coat
and an old pair of trousers thrown
over them, dived successfully yester.
day afternoon from the center span
of the Brooklyn bridge to the East
river, 1876 feet below, for $3.50 In cash,
two new suits of clothes and whatever
fame the world may hold In store
for a bridge jumper.
The late Steve Brodie acquired fame
as bridge jumper and long ran a
Bowery saloon on the strength OF It,
but many say it was never proved that
Steve really jumped.
Several would-be suicides have been
fished out of the river unhurt after
jumping, but Otto Eppers is the first
to jump with unquestioned witnesses
as part of an arranged plan.
The boys first words when he was
fished out of the river by a crew of
passing tug were:
Gee, but hit hard"
Eppers is II years old. When pick.
ed up he was on his back, half stun
ned, and padding feebly.

Neigh, Neb., June Especial to
The News: S. d. Thornton and Sons
will open up the third bank in this
city within week, with capital of
$4,000. 1t was at first planned to
open about September l, and occupy
the room that the postoffice is now in,
but it Is the intention Of Mr.. Thornton
at this time to begin business at an
earlier date, and secure other quarters
for the time being.
From all indications this city may
have the fourth bank soon. Rumors
have been numerous during the past
twenty-four hours, and in an effort to
down the information, it was learned
last evening from parties that are re-
liable that there is a possibility of
another institution of this nature
starting with capital of $4,000. The
new Lora Nash building, it is report
ed, will become the home of the new
bank. Neigh people who have pledg.

NO FUND FOR GORE COMITTEE
Senate Probe Committee, Without

Senate Probe Committee, Without
Cash, is Unable to Act.
Washington, June 3O-Members of
the senate committee appointed Sat
urday to investigate the charges made
by Senator Gore relating to Oklahoma
Indian land contracts have discovered
that the committee was not provided
with funds to defray the cost of the
inquiry.
When the inquiry resolution was
passed Senators Hale and Hughes
stated that no appropriation was de-
sired. This declaration escaped the
attention of Senator Jones of Wash
ington and other members of the COM
mittee and it is probable that the
committee will not take up the inquiry
until congress assemblies in Deem
Der.
The house committee appointed to
inquire into Indian affairs in Okla
homa, however, was given broad pow
ers and funds to cover the cost of the
investigation. The resolution provid-
ed that all expenses of the committee
should be provided out of the house
contingent fund.

sas Over Internal Revenue Job.
Washington, June 3O.-A bitter
fight is being waged in Kansas and in
Washington over the post collector of
internal revenue at Leavenworth.
President Taft has decided to appoint
Fremont Leidy of Buffalo county to
that Office on the recommendation of
Senator Curtis, but the present incum.
bent, James M. Simpson, backed by
his friends, has refused to resign as
requested by the treasury department.
Mr.. Simpson contends that there Is
no reason why he should give up the
office. He is regarded as wealthy.
About year ago charges were pre-
ferred against him but he was exon
Grated. The collectorship carries no
fixed tenure.
Officials of the treasury department
decline to discuss the case beyond
saying that it is in the hands of the
president.
1t is understood Secretary Mac.
Veagh has in contemplation the de-
tachment of Oklahoma from the Kan
sas district which, If done, will make

This declination to act is regarded as
a victory for the railways.
Only SO Changes; Some Reductions.
For nearly month the commission
has been overwhelmed with protests
against the proposed new classified
ton Of freight, many shippers seem
ing to entertain the idea that the re-
arrangement would result in largely
Increased rates. The subject was con-
sidered very carefully by the commits
sion. In the 5000 items and ratings
involved there are only fifty-eight
changes. of which twenty-eight are
reductions and thirty advances, the
latter including twelve increases in
carload weights. In an official state
ment issued today the commission
says:

The principal increases are the
carload minimum of horse vehicles
from 10000 to 1000 pounds and an
advance in classification of autos from
first class to 10 percent of first class
and the commission is not satisfied
that these items should be suspended

MOTHERS A BASEBALL FAN.
So the Neishbors Get Sarcastic and
Hang up Signs.

Newark, N. j., June 3O.-When Mrs.
Frank Bower of 425 South Tenth
street goes to ball game nobody
has to tell her why the pitcher is not
arrested when he hits the batter.
She has three children among her
assets, and among her liabilities are
nieghbors who are of the opinion that
1t is a sin and shame that Mrs.
Bower, in leaving home for the ball

old sister.
For some time they have been so
neighborly that Mrs. Bower became
weary of their solicitude for the well
fare of her children. So she hung out
on the pulley clothes line in her back
yard a placard which read:
'Neighbors: May I go to the ball
game?"
She thought this delicate hint would
make the neighbors see that their in
reference was unheeded. She reckon
ed without her neighbors.
Only little while after her satirical

the other back yards in the neighbor-
hood blossomed with answers. One
neighbor, who having no children OF
her own, and has ample time in which
to look after the children of others
hung out a placard which read:
Who is going to take care of your
children"
There was another:
Take your kids with you"
And another:
Ever hear of a home rum"
Piqued by these messages, Mrs
Bower went to the game just the
same. Last night her husband con
doled with her because of the attitude
Of the neighbors and let her tell him
the story of the game. He is satisfied
with things as they are.
