This was written with the pic

want to retract the statement
that Johnson could have defeated
Jeffries at any stage Of his career.
I don't believe Johnson can defeat
Jeffries today. ! don't believe he
could have defeated the Los An
geles man a week before the
Fourth.
As sure as original sin, johnson
caught Jeffries at tho psychology
lcal moment when Jeff, his nerv-
Gus system shattered, was as help
less as babe. johnson was lucky.
How lucky only he and the men
who know how good Jeffries really
was before he succumbed, really
apreciatep.
Jeffries was the victim of sug-
gestion, just as is the subject of
hypnotist.
The dearest friends of the big
fellow" lost the fight for him.
Possibly. had Jeff followed the
training plans some of his advis-
ers wanted him to, the result
would have been different. Pos
sibly it would have been the same.
But one thing is absolutely certain,
the great fighter went to pieces
like soap bubble and from no
cause apparent to the public. Only
we who were with him could see
behind the curtain, and this only
AFTER the fight.
To begin with, want to say
that Jim Jeffries, a week, yes,
three days before the Fourth, was
an ideal fighting machine. He had
speed, strength, stamina and that
bulldog determination which car
ried him home in front in all his
previous fights.
To all appearances he was the
Jeffries who battered down Fitz-
simmons, Rubin, Sharkey and
Corbett
We were as confident as men
could be that he would win, be-
cause with Jeff right, none of us
could see Johnson, even with his
marvellous defense, standing off
the undefeated one.
But who could imagine Jeffries,
the lmpassive, the stolld, entering
the ring a nervous wreck? Not
even the physicians who examined
him, including Or. w. S. Porter,
who for six years has been Jeffs
personal physician and who lived
In the camp for a week prior to
the battle.
said Jeff's friends lost the fight
for him, and I'll tell you how. To
begin with there was Bob Vernon
and Hector Mckenzie, old friends
of the Jeffries family. They wa.
gered all they could afford and
probably more on the "big fellow;
there was Jack Ripper, partner of
Jeffries In the Los Angeles cafe;
there was Dick Adams of Oakland !;
there was Eddie Leonard, the min

PROSECUTORS OFFICE SAYS
ROHDE'S LICENSE IS ILLEGAL
Legal Fight Seems Certain II Attempt
10 Made to Reopen Dobson's
Place.


A legal fight TO test the constitu-
tionality OF the Warner Cramton liquor
law Is probable as a result OF the
granting TO Fritz Rohde OF a license
TO conduct a saloon in the premises
occupied until Wednesday by Billy"
Dobson. who surrendered his license.
1t had been known by certain per-
sons for several weeks that Dobson
contemplated this action. and previous
TO May l Rohde applied for and was
granted a license TO conduct saloon
In the building Dobson is now leav-
ing. He also paid In his $500. Rohde
went into the venture with his eyes
open, however. Several weeks ago he
consulted the prosecutor, and Assist
ant Prosecuting Attorney Fitzpatrick,
who has given the WarnerCramton
law careful study, advised him that the
granting of license would be illegal
for more reasons than one. First the
population OF Crosse Pointe Village,
which at that time was 40. now has
all the saloons II is entitled to under
the statutory ratio. II was also Illegal.
Mr. Fitzpatrick held, to grant two H.
censes TO the same PLACE, and since
Dobson's was granted first, Rohdes
license is illegal and void.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick also states that no
part OF the $500 can be returned to
Dobson. or to Rohde either, In case
ne is put out of business
1t is said that number OF residents
of Crosse Pointe will take action to
prevent Rohde conducting a saloon In
The old Dobson place.

Attorney Says Mrs. Richters Case
Has Cost More Than He Received.

In explanation of his suit against
Mrs. Annie Richter. widow OF a for
mer Detroit physician, TO recover sos
for services rendered In the circuit
court and the state supreme court.
Attorney Edward S. Greco declares
that he was forced to bring suit be-
cause Mrs. Richter refused to proceed
with the trial of her case after the
supreme court had ordered a new
trial. In this case Mrs Richter sought
damages against E. F. w. Stolze, JAM
itor OF the Union Trust building, for
alleged SANDER. and Judge Donovan
directed a verdict for six cents dam
ages.
The supreme court reversed Judge
Donovan last October. and Mr. Greece
says he tried repeatedly until April
to get Mrs. Richter to confer with
him regarding a retrial OF the case,
but without any success The cost OF
tho appeal. 1926, he paid out of his
own pocket. while he has received
from Mrs. Richter but $33.75, he
says, or not enough to compensate
him for the money he himself put up.
He denies that he had any arrange
ment with Mrs. Richter to take the
case on a contingent basis Of no pay.

originally. but was substituted for an
other.

LITTLE CHILDREN
Leaves Pair of Tots in Perrien PARK
Police Are Searching
For Her.

her baby brother. two years old. are
crying their eyes out In the Hunt-st.
station for their mama. who disap-
peared strangely. Wednesday morn
ing. leaving her children In Perrien
park. Chene-st. and Hancock-ave.
The girl, who hobbies about with the
aid OF a pair of crutches. says her
name Is Annie and her brothers name
il Johnnie. She does not know her
last name.
The children were found by the
caretaker of the park at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning. He notified a
policeman. who took the little ones
to the station. Just one hour after
they we're found, the mother returned
to the park. She asked the caretaker
II he had seen the children. and he
directed her to the police station. She
never appeared at the station and the
police are now looking for her.
A large market basket filed with
children's clothing, was In the park.
There was some other clothing for
adults. A whisky bottle bearing the
label Of Grand Rapids firm. and a
bottle labeled alcohol. formed another
portion of the baskets contents
Around another bottle. containing
hair dye, was wrapped In a copy or
a Grand Rapids newspaper, with the
date Jan. II. 1910.
A fruit vendor at Randolph-st. and
Gratiot-ave.. says he helped put a
large woman and two children an
swering the descriptions of the little
ones at the station. on a Baker-st.
car at o'clock Wednesday morning.
The woman had bought half-dozen
bananas from him. She had a large
market basket with her like the one
found In the park.
Capt. Marquardt and Police Matron
Jennie Ferris have tried In vain to
get from the children some informa-
ton concerning themselves. They
learned that the mother has been
seeking her husband. The children
spoke as II she were on her way to
Pittsburg.
The police believe that the woman
was In straitened circumstances and
that she took this unique method OF
having her children cared for. The
fact that she returned to the park af-
ter leaving them and then made no
effort to reclaim them at the Hunt-st
station, leads to this belief
