Hardy noticed that the list was
headed "Elizabetha Romanovna. 1000

contributed equal sums. The last
name thus far obtained. and next to
which Hardy must sign, was that OF
Boris Romanoff, who was down for

The nihilists were thrown into
panic by this sudden move on the
part of Hardy For the moment he
was in control of the situation,
though he was well aware that he
could not remain so for long.
The American backed to the door,
still aiming at the ball, passed
through it after some little nervous
fumbling for the knob, closed it be-
hind him and started to run rapidly
across the empty room in which he
now found himself, not without, how
ever, making an effort to lock the
door, which was impossible, as there
was no key on the outside, and no
bolt.
A savage uproar broke loose in the
room which he had Just qlitted-thc

ROWARDENNAN TRAINING
CAMP, April 23.-The warm wealth
er of yesterday and Sam Berger's
repeated statements that in his
opinion Jeffries is too light has
aroused conjecture as to what JET

3ter begins flirting with the high

bliStering down here, despite the
shady pines and mountain breezes.
Jim's road work is done while the
sun is very young, but when the
warm days come it will be uncom-
fortably hot in the gymnasium and
as the real hard work is to begin
six weeks before the day of battle
it looks like the weight question is
going to increase Berger's wOr-
ries. When Jim begins to perspire

his face dripping and his under

Juggling at the pulleys, and when
he was through with them he look
ed as though he had had an invol-
untary bath.
Another matter that is going to
bother Berger is the crowd that is
sure to be down here toward the
end of the training spell. Jim
hates crowds. They get on his
nerves, make him sulky and gener-
ally intractable, and the worry
throughout the camp is correspond
ingly increased. Perhaps the frills
that Joe Choynski promised to put
into Jeff's regime will overcome
this difficulty. but if they do,
Choynski will have done something
that no other trainer has accom-
plished.

CLAUDE G, WHITE MAY
WIN $4,000 PRIZE

White will win the $4,000 prize Of
fered by the Daily Mail. The prize
has stood for four years and no
aeronaut has ben able to negotiate
the distance.
White, flying a new model Far
man biplane, started from London
at $50 o'clock this morning. Two
hours later he descended at Rugby
for breakfast. He reascended and
sailed as far as Littlefield, III
miles, where he was forced to de-
scend because of the intense cold.
He was almost exhausted from the
rigors of the trip. He will rest for
several hours at Littlefield and
then will reascend and endeavor to
complete the journey to Manches-
ter. The conditions of the prize
offer allows but two descents.
White declared if he had known
how cold it was today he would not
have attempted the flight.
White is Farman's pupil. The
biplane he is flying is new one
and has very powerful motors.
If White fails to win the prize
today Paulhan will attempt the
flight Monday.

heard from Lonnie Austin of the
seattle Athletic club, assuring the
presence at the smoker of num-
Der OF men from that place.
Austin will be here with Cliff
Dyer to match him against John
Kelly, the Sopkane terror, and it is
believed that this will be one of
the most interesting events of the
entire bill, as Kelly can put up
about as good fight as any man
on the coast. O'Leary and Owens
are also coming over from Seattle.
Givens is to meet Mccoy and
OLeary to fight Red" Hughes.
Each of these three Seattle men
is considered a star, having figured
prominently in the p. ~ A. meet.
AS the program for the smoker
now stands, wrestling matches are
to be held as follows: Frank Glahe
versus Burkhart, 115 pounds;
Brechin versus Brown, 1876 pounds;
Gesek versus Middleton, 1873
pounds.
Boxing bouts: Deshbeck versus

hangs over the ropes or yells for

makes Jeff grin, as it reminds him
of the closing rounds of his fight
with Armstrong in New York, when
the negro did the very same thing
after he had found out that he
could not hurt the California griz-
Fly with his hardest punches.
A great help to Jeff's training
will be the swimming he will be
enabled to do within a few days.
His swimming pool in the San Lor-
EMO river, a beautiful mountain
stream which flows about quar-
ter of a mile back of his training
quarters, is almost completed, and
when the job is finished Jeffries
will take a daily dip. He is eX-
tremely fond of the water, being
both an expert swimmer and oars
man.
The swimming strengthens his
heart and lungs and the rowing
loosens up the muscles in his back
and arms. Rowing also makes
the hitting good" he said the other
day.
Joe Choynski spent a portion of
the day in unpacking and getting
his gym paraphernalia in shape.
He refused to announce the course
of training he had planned for JEFF
fries and said that he would let
suits speak for themselves.
Jeffries plans boat race to-
morrow on San Lorenzo river with
the Papke craft. On the Jeffries
boat will be Berger and Jeff's
nephew. In Papke's boat will be
either Choynski or Farmer Burns
and the young friend of Jeff's
nephew.

ONE DEAD; 8 HURT
I'm AUTO SMASHUP
fBy United Press Leased wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, July f2.-Louis
Jaggar, go years old. a wealthy
commission merchant, is dead, and
his wife and two friends are seri-
ously injured as n result OF an
automobile smash-up last night
near Gresham, on the Mount Hood
road. Jaggar died this after
noon.
The injured: A. II. Shreve,
back sprained; Clifford r. Zones,
both shoulder blades broken; Mrs.
@. IL. Zones, spraiped hip, bruises;
Mrs. A. X. Shreve, badly bruised
on body.
The party, in Jaggar's automo-
bile, were driving rapidly toward
Portland late last night when
Jaggar, who was at the wheel,
suddenly relinquished his hold. 1t
is believed he suffered a stroke
of paralysis.
The big touring car a second
later struck curve, dashed
straight ahead and somersaulted
into a depression.
Another machine, following
close behind, was ditched to pre-
vent following Jaggar's machine.
None of the occupants were in
jured in the second car.
A passing automobile was
stopped and the injured extricated
from the wreck and hurried to
Portland, where they were taken
to hospital.
