FOR REFEREE JOB.
Eddie Graney, Jack Welsh or Eddie
Smith May Arbltrate Eioht.

San Francisco, March 14.-With the
site for the Jeffries.Johnson light Sc
lected, interest among sporting men
in the selection of a referee for the
big bout is increasing.
Three men stand out most promi-
nently as candidates for the third
mans position. They are Eddie Gran.
ey and Jack Welsh of San Francisco,
and Eddie Smith of Oakland. Graney
and Welsh are both well known and
capable referees, but of late Eddie
Smith has outshone them to some ex-
tent and has refereed the majority of
important ring battles around San
Francisco.
He was in the ring with Nelson
and Wolgast, when Nelson lost his
title, and recently gave the decision to
Tommy Murphy over Morgan, He Is
considered absolutely honest in his
ring work and is not afraid to draw
the line.
Jack Welsh has a reputation as one
Of the best referees in the country
and has refereed many important bat
ties.
Both Jeffries and Johnson are strong
for Welsh. Eddie Graney Is an old
friend of Tex Rickard, however and
the leading promoter is expected to
pull for him. Any OF the three men
assigned would be acceptable to the
general public.

PERHAPS, A FIGHT JULY 2.
Iem Griffin May Arrange Match for
Two Days Before Big Mill

Two Days Before Big Mill.
San Francisco, March 14.-It is said
that Promoter Jem Griffin has con.
ceived the idea of matching a brace of
good men for a date couple of days
in advance of July 4. If the notion
is original with Griffin it shows that
he has business acumen which may re-
suit in his standing shoulder to shoulo
er with the matchmakers who achieve
world wide celebrity.
There was a whisper some days ago
that Richard and Gleason would have
opposition on July 4, but the sugges-
ton was secuted as crazy one. A
man who attempts to promote a prize
ring event within fifty miles of Emery
vile track on independence day would
be voted a loon.
On July it will be different. The
advance guards of Johnson-Jeffries
delegations from many outside points
will begin to throng the streets of
San Francisco and pugilistic prattle
will sound. Anything, almost in the
shape of bout with gloves will ap-
peal to the visitors-to say nothing of
the stay-at-homes-and, of course, the
more important the contest the better
it will take.
Gritfin's first thought was given to a
match between Stanley Ketchel and
Sam Langford. 1t shows that Jim Ia
new to the business when he talks of
such sacred things so lightly, but at
that it might be just his luck to land
big thing of that character after all
the diplomats and lobbyists of the
matchmaking business had failed.
A Ketchel-Langford contest is one
that the sporting public desires to see.
In popular favor it ranks next to the
Johnson-Jeffries affair. 1t may be that
Griffin will bring the men together,
but it is doubtful. Langford, as ever,
is just aching for a chance at the
Michigan assassin, but if past happen
ings are any clew to what is in Stan
ley Ketchel's mind, the men will never
stride toward each other from the
angles of prize ring.

PROMOTERS BUSY.
Many Battles Proposed for the Coast
to be Held in JuIy,


San Francisco. March 1.-THE pugi.
listic pot is boiling over on the coast.
Not since the days of the great New
Orleans fistic carnival when John l..
Sullivan lost his title to Corbett and
Jack McAuliffe and George Dixon sue
cessfully defended their title of light
and featherweight champions, have
so many matches been on the boards
ae a"C M" 'nnteru lated by the fight
promoters OF the far west.
Witr the Jeffries.John fighting
ground fixed, steps are tping taken
today to crowd in few more cham,
pionship battles to appease the appe-
tites of the sporting fraternity.
The latest suggestion is & fight be-
tween Stanley Ketchel, middleweight
champion, and Sam Langford, the Bos-
ton tar baby. Promoter jim Griffin is
trying to stage this bout for July 2,
and he expressed confidence today
that he would sign up the men.
Another battle to be fought near
the date of the Jeffries-Johnson will
be between AID Wolgast, new light.
weight champion, and Freddie Welsh
the English champion.

Risked Lives in the River.

Bassett, Neb., March 14.-Special to
The News: One out of the three
bridges between Rock and Keya Paha
counties, taken out in the recent flood,
will be put in at once. The commits
sioners met and it was decided that
with the aid of the citizens of both
counties, that as the earns bridge was
the most urgently needed, the most
centrally located and it being an i'm
portant mail and freight route, to put
it in ut once.
Two hundred and ten feet of this
bridge is gone and a cable was con-
structed across last Monday for the
purpose OF transporting the United
States mail. Postmaster Stockwell,
with some helpers, went over from
Bassett to aid in it's construction. The
difficult feat of landing the first rope
across 210 feet of raging torrent, with
some ice still flowing, was problem
that would have baffled some civil en-
gineers, if they had no more material
to work with than did those on the
ground. But dire need and a bunch
of plucky pioneers has often been re-
warded by success, as it was in this
case. First kites were made and tried,
but the wind failed to blow in the
right direction. So floats attached to
binding Irvine were placed in the river
at a point where the current seemed
to make for across the river, but it
would not go close enough to the far
Their shore to enable the party to catch
it. There was nothing else left to do
but to make a raft and man it. This
was dangerous business, and had to
be done with all care, as the raft had
to have a rope attached to it, which
it had to pull across through floating
ice and swift current, it looked al
most impossible. Cheers went up
when all was ready and the two Both
volunteered to pilot it.
1t was an awful tug Of war, and sew
eral times the raft pitched under the
waves as the rope they were trailing
was caught by floating ice, dragging
those brave men down to their hips in
the icy water. However, they were
finally landed, amid the cheers of the
helpers and spectators.
Very quickly a cable with pully
and rope was made fast to what was
left of the bridge, and at shutdown the
United States mail was landed on the
Keya Paha side, and quickly supplied
to six postoffices in that county.

FORBIDDEN TO TAKE HoNoRs.
American officials Must Not Accept
Alien Decorations.

Washington, March IA. - American
diplomats, army and navy officers and
other officials will not be allowed to
accept decorations from foreign gov
ernments so long as Senator Shelby
Cullom of Illinois remains chairman
of the senate committee on foreign af-
fairs. He has called a halt on what
he believes is a desire to prefer for
eign to domestic approval of their
deeds.
The foreign affairs committee today
decided that it will disapprove Of all
applications for authority to accept
foreign decorations. 1t will approve
the acceptance of gifts, provided they
are trifles, made by foreign poentates.
A subcommittee of which Senator
Root is chairman, investigated the Gil
cumstances surrounding requests made
by more than 200 officials for authority
to accept foreign gifts and decorations.
At the state department there are
wagon loads of these mementos which
have been forwarded by foreign pow
ers and are being held pending grant
VI COllSltSSloudl dulhOllIy w uNNSPN
them. A bill will be introduced au-
thorizing the acceptance of the gifts
but the decorations will be returned
to the donors.
During the seven years that Senator
Cullom has been chairman of the for
eign relations committee, only two
decorations have escaped him. One
was the order of the Red Eagle, given
by Emperor William of Germany to
Rear Admiral McCalla for his conspic-
uous services in leading the allied
troops to Picking during the boxer
trouble. The other was the order of
the academy, awarded by France to
C. Dewitt Wilcox in recognition Of
book he wrote on military science.
The officials thus foiled in obtaining
the foreign decorations may accept
them after they have retired to private
life.
