Will TRY IT
Believes That he Can "come Back"
and Defeat Jack johnson
For Heavy-Weiaht
Championship.
IN ACTIVE TRAINING
Retired In 1908 After his Is Round
Bout With JeffrIes But Has
the Fever Once
More.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2f.--Down at
Sheepshead Bay Thomas Sharkey,
able seaman, who retired from the
prize ring in 1908 after sensational
career, during which he put up Won
derful twenty-five round fight with
James J Jeffries, is secretly training.
To speak plainly, even though it
may amuse the sporting fraternity.
Sharkey is training for the sole pur-
fight with Jack Johnson. the negro
heavy weight champion of the world.
Sharkey saw Johnson defeat Jeffries
at Reno and Immediately after the
alleged fight he hit the trail for his
home at the bay, secretly confident
that If able to regain his old form he
could whip the black man and recover
the championship for the white race.
Sharkey did not waste any time in
getting into condition for a fight with
Jack Johnson, the negro heavyweight
champion of the world. Sharkey saw
Johnson defeat Jeffries at Reno, and
Immediately after the al1ege fight
he hit the rtail for his home at the
bay secretly confident that If able to
regain his old form he could whip the
black man and recover the champion
ship for the white race.
Sharkey did not waste any time in
getting down to business Always in
pretty fair condition he began train
ing lightly, and, finding that his speed
4 and strength were simply dormant, he
gradually Increased the daily exercise
though keeping the entire plan of ac-
ton to himself
Sharkey is SIS years old, a year older
than Johnson. He has always been re-
garded as physical marvel, but when
he got through with Jeffries at Coney
Island he was taken to iDospital suf-
i fering from two fractured ribs and a
broken nose That was in 1899, when
Sharkey was in his prime, but the
terrific beating he received on that
} occasion took away much of his stamf-
ma and year later F'itzsimmons
| stopped him in two rounds with few
: well-directed punches. Sharkey tack
} led Jack Monroe in six-round bout in
: Philadelphia in 1903 and was soundly
beaten. His poor showing in that af-
: fair convinced Sharkey that his fight
ing days were over, and he retired.

BRYAN BOLTS
Head OF TICKET
Issues Statement in Which He Says
He Cannot Vote for
Democrat For
Governor.
s AGAINST DAHLMAN
Liquor Question in Nebraska is the
Paramount Issue in the State
Election This
Fall.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 21-In a
statement in which he declares that
the crusade which he feels impelled
TO wage against the liquor interests of
NEBRASKA and the nation overshadows
personal and political friendship of
twenty years, William ]. Bryan last
evening announced he had bolted the
head of the democratic ticket in Ne
praska and would not support James
G. Dahlman for governor.
Mr.. Bryan says he regrets that he
is compelled to take the stand he
does-his first departure from polit-
ical regularity but says he feels it
MS duty to do so because of the po-
sltlon taken by the democratic nom
lnee on the liquor question. The
statement which, in way. is apollo
getic In tone, does not Indicate that
Mr.. Bryan will support the candidate
OF any other party, but announces that
ne is pronounced advocate of coun-
| ty option and the early saloon clos.
ing law, both of which he insists are
menaced by Mr.. Dalhman's candidacy.
I Mr.. Bryan's statement, in part. fol-
1 lows:
| am just leaving for Missouri, and
shall be absent practically all of the
time for about a month, campaigning
In Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Indiana
and Illinois. After that shall be al
liberty to speak for Mr.. Hitchcock
the democratic candidate for congress
and for the state ticket in Nebraska
q In speaking for the state ticket, how
ever, shall not be able to present
any arguments in favor of the cleo
tion of Mr.. Dahlman. His position
on the liquor question makes that i'm
possible. regret this exceedingly
for he has been a political and per
sonal friend for twenty years, and i
would give me pleasure to speak fo
him if | could indorse the policy TO
which he stands, but he has chosel
to make the liquor question the para
mount issue, and makes his appeal OF
that issue.
Possibly it is just as we'll to hav,
the issue clearly presented, so that /
may be settled this year instead o
two years hence. Troublesome as tn
question is now, it would be even NOR
embarrassing If presented in 191.
when we have presidential electio
on hand. If Mr.. Dahlman is electe
it will be a declaration of the voter
of Nebraska against county optic
and against the o'clock closing law
If he is defeated 1t will be declare
; tion in favor of county option an
in favor of the O'Clock closing Law
In other words, the voters now hav
an opportunity to decide whether tn
state shall go backward or forwar
on the liquor question.

fight OPENLY
OR fall BACK
President Taft is the Leader Of the
Republican Party and Roose-
veIt Must Make His
Decision.
COURSE MADE CLEAR
Taft Does Not Intend to step Down
Unless His Friends and
Supporters Ask
Him to.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-soon
after he entered the white house,
President Taft, in a speech said he
considered himself the titular head
OF the republican party which elected
him. The Interpretation of the out
come of the meeting between Presi-
dent and Colonel Roosevelt at New
Haven, among the presidents friends
in Washington, is that he will prob
ably consider himself from now on as
the manager of his party, as we'll as
it's titular head, having become con-
vinced that the people expect him to
lead. AS understood here, the presi-
dents attitude also is that, unless the
people say no. he will be willing to
run in 1912 If nominated. The same
I'll" can be applied to his assuming
the leadership of his party now. The
president has never been a politician
in the sense that his predecessor in
Office was, and is. But his friends
say that the dignified attitude he has
assumed in the last few weeks has
greatly strengthened him with the
I
thinking people of the country, who
have not yet passed judgment upon
him as president, and that henceforth
his conduct as leader of the party will
| show the real stuff of which he is
| made
Persons here who are in the con
! fidence of the president said he was
only waiting for an opportunity tc
make clear the course he intends te
I pursue That opportunity came in his
conference with Col Roosevelt. 1t Is
/ generally understood among intimate
4 friends of the president that he sa
| to Col. Roosevelt what he said to the
general public later through the news
/ papers-that he has no thought Of
surrendering the leadership of his
party unless the people indicate that
they don't want him to lead. By TAX
ing such stand, the president, ac
!. cording to his friends, has put Col
Roosevelt in position where ht
must either openly fight for the lead
ership of the party or fail in behint
the president as a high private.

LONDON, Sept 21.-strong escort
of police prevented Miss Ethel Claire
Leneve, the alleged accessory in the
supposed murder of Belle Elmore
Crippen, from being mobbed today as
she made her way from closed cab
to the Bow Street police court. Hun
dreds of people gathered about the
building, began hooting and kissing
her the moment she stepped from the
cab.
Quickly realizing the menacing at.
titude of the mob, the two officers
who accompanied THE girl from the
jail, summoned the police who were
guarding the entrance to the police
court, the squad formed Gordon
about the girl and fought back the
| beligerant spectators until the pris
! oner was inside the building. The
demonstration was wholly unexpected
and was the result of testimony at
yesterdays inquest when Mrs, Jack
son said that Miss Leneve told hel
that if Mrs. Crippen was out of the
way the doctor would marry her. Miss
Leneve almost collapsed.
She sat throughout the hearing
| pale and trembling.
