Philadelphia, Pa, June 3d.
While the crew of the liner Greclan
was engaged in a race with death
by a fire in the oil laden hold of the
vessel, so passengers aboard the ves-
sci danced in the ships cabin OBJ
vious of the danger.
The news of the nre had been
kept from the passengers, save only
the wife of the captain, who volun-
teered to play dance music for the
passengers to prevent a panic.
The fire was discovered at mid
night, the vessel arrived at dawn.
The woman played almost continu-
ously during that time.
The Grecian was laden with wool
and turpentine for Boston. The fire
was discovered in the after part of
the hold and gradually worked its
way forward toward the inflamma-
BILE cargo. When told of the danger
the captain headed the Grecian back
to port and ordered full speed.
Meanwhile the crew was sent to
fight the flames, which, had they
reached the oil, would have resulted
in terrible explosion.
The unusual noises aboard the
vessel brought the passengers from
their berths. At this juncture,
when panic threatened, the captains
wife volunteered to quiet the
alarmed passengers. She told them
that there was little danger and that
the ship had suffered a slight acei-
dent. Then to reassure them she
sat at the piano In the cabin and be-
gan to play.
The spirit of the music soon pos
sessed the passengers and the re-
mainder of the night was spent In
gayety. While the men and women
above decks danced and laughed, the
men below were fighting for their
lives and the lives Of the passengers.
Port was made at dawn. A wire
less message already had summoned
the fire department TO the water
front. Fireboats met the liner down
stream and soon water was being
thrown into the hold and the sailors
unequal fight was at an end. Tugs
came up and transferred the passen'
gers without mishap.
The fire proved a stubborn one
and soon men from the fireboati

men ashore. Before the flames wer'

cree was named.
White, accompanied by big Tim"
Sullivan, stakeholder of the contest,
is due to arrive here today.
Sheriff Ferrel today confirmed the
report that all spectators at the
ringside will be searched as they en-
ter the enclosure, and all weapons
will be checked at the door.
Only the state police and the sher-
iff's deputies will be allowed to carry
firearms.
When Jeffries arose this morning,
the program of the day had not been
decided upon. He informed his as
sembled trainers that he felt in fine
shape, all his slight ailments having
disappeared. The big fellow ate a
hearty breakfast and lounged about
camp afterward, chatting with
Jrbet and Farmer Burns. Later he
said that he might do a little spar
fling in the afternoon.
Johnson has been assured that he
will be free from molestation at the
hands of any spectator during or af-
ter the fight. He will have num-
Der of men of his own choosing
around his corner, and they will ac-
company him to and from the ring.
The Jeffries crouch disappeared
yesterday when the big fellow went
through his stunts for the moving
picture men. The result of his sud-
den change of plan in giving the ex-
hibition yesterday, instead of tomor-
row, as announced, was that string
of autos and carriages brought all
the war correspondents and as many
people as could crowd out there TO
Mona. Jeff's exhibition with his
sparring partners showed that he had
his "eye on the ball" He held out
his chin and drew back just as the
punch struck where his jaw had
been; then stepping in line with a
flash hooked right or left to the body
or jaw.
During his bouts with Brother Jack
and Sam Berger, JEFF time and again
stuck out his jaw for them to slap.
Hitting as hard as they could they
never rocked his head.

interested spectator, and who watched
the exhibition keenly, afterward de-

Beverly, Mass, June 30.-Scores
of unlimited guests today crowded
around the grounds of the summer
capital" to join in the first meeting
of Theodore Roosevelt and William
Howard Taft since Inauguration day.
Reporters and newspaper photog-
raphers had prominent places in the
waiting throng and were jammed up
against the Taft front fence, while
the crowd behind showed and jostled
them against the pickets.
The grounds about the cottage
were barred and the crowd had to
wait outside AS soon as 1t was
known that Colonel Roosevelt would
visit Taft the visitors began to ar
rive. It was not long until ths
street in front of the Taft cottage
was jammed, and still the curious
hurried to the scene.
1t is known that Roosevelt does
not endorse some OF Taft's official
acts, and the politicians predict that
the meeting may cause an open rup-
ture between the two men.
1t is believed that the New York
political situation will be discussed
Roosevelt, according to the politi-
clans, will insist that federal inter-
ference with Governor Hughes poll
icies must stop, and that the gover-
nor be allowed to complete his legis
lative work.
1t is expected particularly that
Roosevelt viii make it very plain
that interference with the Hughes
ideas in general and the primary
election laws in particular will not
be tolerated If Roosevelt is expected
to be responsible for the future Of
the republican party in New York.
Taft was not the least bit dis
turbed by the prospective meeting
with Colonel Roosevelt. With John
Hays Hammond he motored to the
Myopia links during the morning
and went over the course.
Charlie Taft attended the boat
races at New London, Conn, and n
the afternoon will leave for Charles
p. Taft's home at Murray Bay.
where he will spend a month.
Senator Lodge arranged the meet
ing between Taft and Roosevelt. It
was decided that besides the two
principals only Senator Lodge ami
Taft's secretary, Charles d. Norton.
should be present.
It is understood that in arranging
for the meeting Lodge argued that
Il was necessary for Roosevelt to
seek the support of the administra-
tIon for the Hughes direct primary
bill. It Is believed here that the
outcome Of the conference may be
that Taft and the New York repup-
iican organization may throw their
support 10 tho primary law.

New London, Conn, June 3d.
Harvard scored two clean victories
over Yale on the Thames today
when the Crimson oarsmen defeated
their rivals of the Blue in the fresh
man eight-uared and the varsity
four-oared events. The jubilant fol-
lowers of Harvard predicted an easy
victory for the varsity eight in the
final water contest this afternoon.
The day was ideal and, consider
ing the fact that Harvard was the
preponderant favorlte and that her
varsity crews are veterans, Yale put
up a plucky fight,
In the freshman event the Har-
ward eight flashed over the finish
line a winner s seconds ahead Of

In the varsity four-oared race

boat lengths. So great was the
fight that the Yale men put up that

craft, collapsed.
The races were witnessed by the
greatest throng that ever attended a

Four revenue cutters policed the

inqulsitive craft from the path Of the

Yale had her proverbial luck IN
the toss and won all three choices Of
position at the start.
Haryard's two victories affected
the odds and the betting on the
