JEFF PICKS
SECONDS
BY MAX BALTHASAR.

MOANA SPRINGS, RENO,
July Jack Jeffries, brother of
the fighter, said today that Dr.
Porter told jeff confidentially that
Jack Johnsons frame seems un-
able to stand the strain Of long
battle. He also said that jeff
has the greater lung capacity. He
has the impression that Johnson Is
fat inside, due to the ale he drank
while training in order to hold his
weight. If this is true Jeff's
chance of winning is materially IN
1creased.
Bob Armstrong declared that
jeff will win the fight in three or
seven rounds. Farmer Burns and
Roger Cornell insists that IL the
fight goes over 10 rounds JEFF
will be 10 to / shot.
JEFF has picked Burns, Brother
Jack and Armstrong for his cor
ner. Corbett will be chief second
and Cornell will attend to his legs
and dress any cuts. DR.. Porter
IS held in reserve.
The choice followed an argu-
ment between JEFF and Berger.
Berger wants to be in the corner
but JEFF says he is too nervous
and is apt to become excited.
The articles of agreement make
no mention of bandages.
JEFF will not wear any and he
may insist that Johnson goes with
out or at least If the negro wears
them that they be applied in the
ring.
Mrs. JEFF is now showing some
signs of nervousness and efforts
are made to keep her away from
her husband as much as possible.

TINES EXPOSE KNOCKS SCHEME CONvEN-
TION-PEOPLE GIVEN OPPORTUNITY NAME
DELEGATES

The demand of The Times that
the people be given a chance to
express themselves in the selection
of delegates to the state convention
was needed by the county central
committee of the republican party
at its meeting today, and not a
voice was raised in favor of the
cut and dried program of the ma
chine of the state to have delegates
named by the central committee.
A primary election was called
for July 13, and a conveitno of
the delegates chosen at the pri-
mary will be held here July 16. AT
this convention delegates to the
state convention will be elected.
A motion was made to endorse
the action of the Fern Hill peo-

pie. in standing for their rights on
the street car fare proposition, but
on discussion it was agreed to
withdraw the motion and take it
up in the county convention when
the people will be given support in
the fight.
The county convention will be
al big one. There will be three
delegates at large from each pre-
cinct and one for each 15 votes in
the precinct or fractional part
thereof. This will give the con-
vention about 100 delegates.
Warburton and Ashton, candi-
dates for congressman and senator
both spoke to the committeemcl.
No attempt was made to endorse
either formally.

While Liabeufs was preparing to

several thousand revolutionists and
socialists gathered in the streets
about the prison. The fall of the
axe apparently maddened the
throng and an attempt was made
to storm the prison. Gendarmes
were trampled and beaten, prison
guards were shot. and the gates
of the prison yard were being bat

had been ordered into the city for
