HEAR THE BELL.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily,
Another collision occurred at the cor

when Louis Scholler, delivery boy for
the meat market of Charles Wagon Jr.,
was driving north on Broad street in q
buggy, with the top up, delivering meat.
He says that the top prevented him
from seeing the car coming, and that
he did not hear the motorman ring the
bell. As soon as he noticed the car
coming, he tried to get off of the track
by backing up, but the horse was
struck and Knocked down, and badly in.

boy escaped without injury. The horse
seemed dead for a time, but after re-

DEADLOCK OVER REFEREE
Jeffries' and Johnson's Managers
Fail to Agree.
BERGER WANTS EDDIE SMITH
COlOred Champion Insists on Either
Eddie Graney or Jack WEIGH of
San Francisco. So There
You Are.

SAN FRANCISCO May 5.-After four
hours gentlemanly wrangling at Jack
Johnson's training quarters on the ocean
beach today promoters and principals of
the Jeffries-Johnson fight came to a dead
lock over the choice of a referee. 1t was
finally decided to postpone the selection
of that official until May 10.
After the elimination of a few undesir-
ables, the controversy narrowed down to
Eddie Graney and Jack Welch and Eddie
Smith of Oakland, Johnson insisting on
one of the two former men, and Sam Ber-
ger holding out for Smith
Johnsons objections to Smith was that
Smith gave him the wrong end of de-
cision in fight with Hank Griffin in
Oakland a few years ago The negro re-
fused to consider Charlie Lyton of Los
Angeles, as he is a fellow citizen of JEFF
fries. ..t
Although Charlie White, who at one time
figured prominently as a possibility, was
not even mentioned, the outcome of the
controversy is thought to have left the
possibilities for the choice of an eastern
man.
johnson is firm in his objection to Smith
and Berger is equally firm in opposing
WEIGH and Graney. Johnson has an
nounced today he would begin training a
week from Sunday.
Five or six'weeks of hard work is all ]
need he said.
BEN LOMOND, Cal, May 4.--Jeffries
hurried back to his training camp here al
noon, bringing with him Mrs. Jeffries who
is recovering from an operation. Jeffries
did not visit San Francisco during his
late holiday, preferring to let Berger
squabble over the referee question with
Jack johnson and the promoters of the
fight.
Jeffries was pleased to hear that Frank
Gotch. the champion heavyweight wrestler
will join the camp in a week.

CHICAGO, Ill, May 5.-Frank Gotch.
champion heavyweight wrestler of the
world, Iowa farmer and acknowledged pre-
mier of the mat in tricky graphing, won
his first point in the championship match
with Zbyszko, the Polish giant set for May
80 at the White Sox ball park, when he
went to Minneapolis nearly four weeks ago
and began secret training for the climax
match of his career The Humboldt county
land owner at that early date "outguessed''
his foreign rival. He had not been matched
with Zbyszko because of his excessive
terms, but guessed" that the Pole would
not go home to Europe without wrestling
him.
"Gotch left everything here in Chicago
to Emil Klank, the Empire Athletic club
official and hir manager" said a local
follower of the game. "Klank was in
structed to ho,d out for 60 per cent for
Gotch, win, lose or draw, and Gotch knew
the Pole would have to concede his point
As result, Gotch is now in perfect CON
dition to meet the big man from Poland
Gotch was not in form when he mel
Zbyszko in a handicap match last winter
He has watched the Pole carefully and

"Gotch doubts his ability to successfully
work the toe hold on zbyszko But h,

YOUNG CIVIL WAR VETERAN
william I. PhilpOtt of Tecumseh
Celebrates SiXty-First Ami
versary of Birth.

TECUMSEH, Neb., May 5.-(Special.)-
Tecumseh claims to have the youngest
civil war veteran in Nebraska in William
l. Philpott, who was not yet 16 years Of
age when the war closed, but saw practi-
cally two enlistments, totalng nineteen
months, in that struggle. Mr.. Philpott was
81 years old on April % and celebrated his
birthday by joining the Grand Army Of the
republic of which he had never before
become a member.
When mere boy of u years Phipott
went to the front as fifer with Company
l of the Ninety-eighth Ohio. When the
soldiers were being recruited he played the
fife and beat the drum and helped stir up
patriotism The company took Phllpott
along and dressed him in the army uniform,
although he was too young to be regularly
enlisted. With his boyish appearance and
weighing less than eighty pounds Philpott
attracted much attention and one day when
the company was in Louisville, KY, a lady
was heard to remark, "Oh, what a pretty
little solder The boy, however, kept up
with the regiment on all the long marches
and saw many skirmishes.
After three months as a, fifer boy Philpott
took i'll, and was sent home, but in April,
1864, he enlisted in Company A, Eightieth
Ohio infantry, and served for sixteen
months, being on Shermans march to the
: sea and in many engagements.
Il don't see how they find any
| younger veterans than I am, for they
wouldn't have been old enough at the time
of the war to get in the service" said Mr.
Philpott in speaking Of his record.
Mr.. Philpott has lived in Nebraska since
1871, and in Tecumseh since 1884 He had
two brothers in the civil war. One of them
! is ttorney ]. L. Philpott of Lincoln, who
was colonel of an Ohio regiment, and the
other was the late DR.. c. H. Philpott Of
Tecumseh who was a private in the Eigh-
| tieth Ohio.
