$lOl,OOO PURSE TO
BE SPLIT EVENLY
Jefries' Profits, Including Nov
ing Pictures, to. Reach To-
tai of $I27,5O0
Especial DispGtch 10 The Cali


RENO, New. July 2.-The Jcfries-
Johnson purse, the greatest that the
prize ring has ever known and the
greatest that it will ever know, will
be divided evenly between the men.
There is s1O1, 900 at stake, and it makes
no difference which man wins, each will
receive as his share s5O,5OO.
This agreement was entered into dur
ing that famous secret conference in
Hoboken, when the wide world was
shut out so that the promoters, the
fighters and their managers might get
together for the purpose of arranging
the details to suit themselves. They
agreed then and this agreement has
been in order ever since. Neither man
tried to violate it. Neither manager
attempted to break it. The burning
question of finance reigned' supreme
throughout.
JEFF $4,000 AHEAD
Besides the purse there was a bonus
to each fighter. and the big. shaggy
white man managed to outwit his black
rival in the matter of frenZied finance
And he did. too, TO the extent of s2,50o
Jeffries received $40, 600 for signing ar
ticles with Rickard Johnson got
$4,000. And then when ne learned that
his opponent had beaten him to that
particular play, he dogged the foot
steps Of Rickard, and the promoter in
a fit Of desperation and frenzy, COM
promised by giving Johnson an addi-
tionaI s2,50O.
These facts have been made plain to
all the prominent sporting men who
claim to have an insight into the work
ings of the gigantic financial deal
They We're kept under cover, out Of the
gaze of the scrutinizing public, for
many weeks and many months, but the
real truth finally leaked out. 1t seems
to be common property now.
Neither fighter will talk on the di-
vision of the purse other than to say
that the settlement will be reached on
a 15 and 25 per cent basis. But this
explanation is not taken seriously any
more. The cat is out of the bag. The
truth has been told. Each consented
to play safe so that no matter which
won there would be no financial mis-
understanding.
Although it is generally understood
that the division of the purse goes no
matter what happens. still this can not
be taken as an Indication that there is
anything wrong with the fight. II
merely goes to show that the fighters,
their managers and the others sat
down and made a cold blooded, calcu-
lating business deal.
EACH WAS SUSPICIOUS
Each was a bit suspicious of the
other.
Each figured that, while he should
win, still there was a chance for the
other to come in with some sort of a
lucky punch.
SO far as the picture deal goes, JEFF
fries apparently has a shade on John
son. He got s67, 900 for his interest,
while $4,000 was the best the cham
pion could do.
According to the best information
Johnson has sold his rights to Tom
O'Day and Sid Hester for this price,
though some of them are of the opinion
that there will be trouble ere long.

day and many sportsmen were out
early in the fielCs with dogs and guns
eagerly seeking the favorite little
game bird. The day is good one for
the pastime, and it is probable that
the birds have had strenuous time.
According to general reports the birds
are not plentiful as the season was
most unfavorable for Matching and
rearing the young because Of the rain
and cold of April and May.
Sales of shells and equipment for
the hunt indicate that the number or

average of the first day of the open
season.
Many people are expecting quail

none of them will be disappointed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Finan.
ciers who have returned from the ma.
tional monetary commissions confer
ence, held in New York last week, ex.
pressed the belief today that Sena-
tor Aldrich would attempt to accom-
plish at the coming short session Of
Congress, the enactment Of currency
reform bill, and that the Central bank
idea would be one of its features.
Such bill, IT was said, is now in
course of preparation, though its de-
tails are incomplete.
A subject of much speculation here
is the question of what disposition OF
the $7OO,OOO,OOO Of per cent bonds
now held by national banks will be
as the basis of note circula-
tion in a central bank scheme. The
market value OF these bonds Is now
much below their purchase price.

them up with the postal savings bank

ASBURY, PARK. n. J., Nov. a.
The maltreated body Of little Marie
Smith, a 1O-year-old school girl which
had been missing since last Wednes-
day, was found at dusk today In a
ciump of woods not far from her
home. Since instinct seems to warn
her mother of how the search had
ended, for although an effort was
made to shield her from the truth,she
ran from the house and took in the
full horror of the fact before she
could be withheld. Half fainting,
half in commissions, she was carried
into the house and there is grave
fear that she will die, and with her
the life she was soon to have brought
into the world.
Chance Dissolved the body as
chance had hide nit. There seem
ed to have been no effort at conceal
