Commander at Department.

Commander Peary called at the Navy
Department yesterday afternoon in ODE
dience to orders and had conference
with Rear Admiral Hollyday, chief of the
bureau Of yards and docks, with respect
to his availability for regular duty under
that bureau. AS civil engineer he is
subject to assignment to duty either in
the bureau of yards and docks at the Navy
Department. or to duty at one of the
navy yards or stations where his techni-
cal knowledge could be utilized in con-
nection with the construction Of dry docks
or similar work. So far as can be learned,
Commander Peary did not see either Sec
rotary Meyer or Assistant Secretary Win
throp.
1t was officially stated at the Navy De-
partment today that no decision had been
reached in the case of Commander Peary.
Action will depend. to a great extent, on
the decision of the government with re-
spect to the proposed expedition to the
south pole. If the government becomes
identified with that enterprise, it is more
than likely that Commander Peary will
be selected as one of the representatives

RETIREMENT TO FOLLOW

A bill to appoint Commander Robert E..
Peary, L. S. N. rear admiral and place
him on the retired list was introduced in
the House yesterday afternoon by Repre-
sentative Allen of Maine. A similar bill
will be introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Hale The bill provides for extra num-
hers in the rank of rear admiral 30 as
not to conflict with the promotions of 9TH
er naval officers who are now ahead Of
Commander Pesry in rank.
The Maine delegation feels that the gov
eminent should honor Commander Peary
for his extraordinary service in discover
ing the north pole.
while Commander Peary's last trip
into the far north was not financed by the
government. said Mr.. Allen, ''he went
under orders of President Roosevelt. COM
mander-in-ohief of the army and navy at
that time. He made his researches for
the coast and gcodetic survey under these
orders and has turned in his report to
that bureau lie deserves more at the
hands of his country than to be put to
work again in an insignificant position as
a civil engineer of the Dayy''

May Get New Leave.

In the event that the government de-
clines to. participate it Is not believed
that it would deprive the scientific So
cieties behind the movement of the ben
eft of the expert services of the naval
discoverer of the north pole. In that
event Commander Peary would simply
be given leave of absence on three
quarters pay.
The explorer has made engagements
to deliver a series of lectures before
scientific bodies in European capitals
during the coming summer. For that
reason it is believed that he will be
given at least few months leave be-
fore being assigned to regular naval
duty. 1t is probable that the President
will be called on to decide whether
Commander Peary shall reassume his
naval duties or whether he shall be al
lowed to extend his scientific research
es to the Antarctic ocean.

JOE CANS SEEMS TO BE

Chicago. July 27.--It is matter of
hours with Joe Cans now. This is
the sorrowful story brought To this

lightweight champion and try to cheer
him up, ana If possible lend such aid.

Strangely enough. Langford re-
lates that Cans has "got religion and
spends almost all of his time praying

SAVAGE HORSES
START ON TOUR
LONG SERIES OF EXHIBITIONS
PLANNED FOR THIS STABLE
WILL TRAVEL NEARLY
10000 MILES.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 27.-M. w
ing and exhibition PAGERS will make
their first public appearance today on
the North Dakota state fair track at
Fargo.
This will be the beginning of the
most extensive tour ever attempted by
any stable of race horses i'm the United
States. The itinerary includes more
than a score of race meetings and
state fairs i'm the northwest, middle
west, east, far west and the sunny
south. 1t is roughly estimated that
the combination will travel by rail i'm
the neighborhood of 10000 miles and
will give exhibitions of speed from
Pennsylvania to California and from
North Dakota to Louisiana. 1t is very
probable that the season will be closed
at Havana, Cuba.
Mr.. Savage started out to corner
the worlds fastest PAGERS. His sue
cess has been attested by the enthu-
siasm aroused among fair managers
all over the United States over the en-
tertainment features he has TO Of

JEFF DECLARES
HE Is THROUGH
LAST CHAMPION OF WHITE RACE
TELLS TOM ANDREWS HE
HAS RETIRED FROM PRIZE
RING FOR GOOD.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 27.--"You can
say for me when you return east that
never again will | enter the ring to
battle for the worlds title, or any 9TH
er title" The above remark was
\ made to T. S. Andrews of this city,
4 at Jeffres' home In Los Angeles a
Few days ago. The remark by jeff
was IN answer to many reports that
the big fellow was not satisfied with
the result OF his battle with Johnson
and would demand another chance at
the title.
Here Is another bit of information
that has not been given To the public
as yet. On July 10, yhen leaving Los
Angeles, Jeffries still was bothered
with numbness on the right side of
his face; in fact, the entire right
side from the eye to the chin was
paralyzed. He had no feeling In IL
whatever, and to prove what he said
he invited Andrews to pinch the face
and run needle or such into il. His
gums were also affected the same way.
Jeff's left eye, which was hurt I'm
the second round of the bout at Reno,
was considerably better, but even at
this late day 1t bothered JEFF when
ever he turned suddenly and the Wis
lon was not perfect. From the above
1t is evident that when Johnson hit
JEFF over the left eye in the second
round he injured the optic nerve Sc
verely, aid the continued rain OF
blows to his cheek and jaw afterward
caused sort of paralysis of the left
side of the face. According to the
doctor jeff will be troubled with the
feeling for some time and careful
massage will be necessary to relieve
him. t,t. ~.

Bill LANCE, the Australian, to be held
at the Fairmount Athletic club.
Ketchel is very bitter against the
former heavyweight champion and de-
clarcs that Jeffries could never have
whipped Johnson even when he was
at his best. "Jeffries did his best
and he was whipped fairly" said Ket-
chel today. "1e was not the nervous
wreck that he has been reported be-
fore he entered the ring, and he went
up in the first round full of conf
dence until he got that nasty crack
over the eye. When nc found that
Johnson was his master in the clinch-
es it was all up with him. 1t was a
poor fight, for Johnson was never
