JEFFRlES NOT SATISFIED
WITH RING PLATFORM

Reno. July 4.-"Jeffries will not tight
on that ring platform in its present
condition." said his manager, Sam Ber-
ger, this morning. The canvas is
stretched 50 that It is difficult to move
around on II. Unless we have anoth-
err platform floor, Jeffries viii not

II Is Berger's Intention to have the
floor padding and canvas Used 10 cover
the platforms In the respective train
ing camps OF johnson and Jeffries
brought TO the arena, stretched over
the ring surface and tested by the
fighters or their representatives. Ac-
cording TO Berger. either one of these
will be used, Jeffries preferring to ac-
cept the Johnson mat rather than the
one that has been offered by the pro-
motors.
sam Berger and Jim Corbett drove
out at o'clock and with a crowd Of
helpers re-stretched the canvas COW
ering Of the ring floor and frightened
up the ropes. When they looked over
the ring yesterday afternoon Berger
and Jack Jenries were far from salts
fed with tho Job They found the
canvas too loose. the ropes too slack
and complained Of the padding. JEFF
fries Is a big man and his advisors
were OF the opinion that the padding
was too soft, although the expert who
built the ring asserted that but one
thickness OF boiler felt lay between the
boards and the snowy cloth. Jeffries
remembers the floor OF the ring In
which he fought Corbett as the firm
est and fastest he ever planted shoe
on, and today one Of the men who
helped design that ring gave the secret
away. over the boarding a velvet car
pet was glued down, rolled by ma
chlnery, and then tho canvas was
glued on and rolled TO that. There
was no felt and Jeffries had said TO
his stan that ne hoped the Reno arena
would approach that ring in firmness
and speed.

CHIEF JUSTICE
FULLER IS DEAD
fContlnued from page one0---

tee reported II To the senate without
recommendation
For three hours that body debated in
executive session whether TO confrm
or reject the nomination. The attack
on MIR Fuller was led by senators Ed
munds. Evarts and Stewart Sena-
tors Cullom and Farwell defended him.
The reports that he had been a Cop
perhead" during the Civil war and
that he did not possess the requisite
ability as q lawyer were gone over.
Finally by a vote of ii to 20 his nom-
nation was confirmed.
Since that day the entire court. as IL
then existed has passed away with the
single exception OF Justice Harlan. OF
those prominent in the fight over his
confirmation only Senator Cullom re-
mains, and President Cleveland. who
thus honored the Illinois lawyer, has
likewise gone to his grave.
The service of Chief Justice Fuller
was noted for the dignity with which
he filled the position. He preserved
that manner. whether on the bench or
off OF IL. Although small OF stature, not
more than five feet seven Inches. his
wealth Of silvery hair and classic
features made him commanding fig
ure wherever he appeared.
Probably Mark Twain resembled the
chief justice in physical appearance
more than any other man Of prominence
in recent years.
