All right. Jim. But pray. what con-

Somewhere else Jim says;
Even JeGries himself lays no claim
to exceptional ability as u boxer"
Don't you believe anything OF that
kind A statement OF that character,
in fact suggests a lack Of knowledge
OF human nature. There was never
man or woman either who excelled in
any department OF endeayor who did
not consider himself or herself MASTER
of all the side lines in connection.
Jonries does not consider himself
highly finished boxer, or at least he
did not when he relinQuished the
game, He not only asked me prior 20
his fight with Corbett to watch n he
did not outlook the former champion.

In the old days Jeffrlcs not only
wished to be looked upon as a clever
exponent OF ringmanship. but he was
consumed with desire TO look dapper
and w.llowy iu action One time he
undertook 10 reduce the size of his
legs so that they might resemble the
underpinning OF a clever boxer rather
than the massive supports of thick
bodied strong man.

SMOOT GUEST OF
PRESIDENT TAFT
Utah and Rhode Island Senators
Eat Dinner and Discuss
Postal Savings.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Presidcnt TAFT
today had as guests at luncheon Sen.
ator Aldrich and Senator Smoot. The
purpose Of their entertainment was
To brnG the latter in line with the
administration view regarding the pos
tai savings bank bill.
Mr. TAFT made ii clear that he
thought the Smoot amendment which
would prevent the board of trustees
from withdrawing postal bank funds
from local banks Tor Investment some
where else would make the measure
unconstitutional.
Although unconvinccd that his
amendment would menace the conSti.
tutionnlity of the measure, Mr.. Smoot
told the president he was unwilling
to take the responsibility of a possi-
bic veto by the president or the de.
cislon Of the supreme court declaring
unconstitutional an act establishing
postal banks. II is said he did not
promise definitely to withdraw his
amendment but would abandon II il
the best lawyers OF the senate took
the position that 1t should not be
adopted.
Neither Senators Aldrich or Smoot
endorsed the proposition to create pos
tai banks, but at the same time they
said they would stand back of the
president in an effort to redeem the
republican pledge for their establish
ment-

Taft is following out the Roose
welt policies" said he. Taft is of
a different disposition and goes at
things In different way, but Roose-
welt knew when he chose Taft as his
successor that the latter could be re
lied upon to pursue the same pollti-
cal course as himself
"Tafts policy with relation to a
court of commerce Is correct one.
If commerce Is to be regulated-and
II must be-there should he a separ

UNDER FIRE

Washington. Feb. lS-LouiS r. Gla-
Wis was under crosS-eXaminatlon all
day before the Ballingcr-PInchot in
vestigating committee. and when ad-
journment was taken until tomor-
row morning. there was no indication
that John ]. Vertrees, counsel for Sec
retary Ballinger was approaching the
end of his constant fire Of interro-
cation.
The scope OF the testimony given
by CLAWS ard the latitude allowed
by the committee in his cross-eXamin-
alton arc almost without precedent.
The cross examination particularly.
Is one of long questions and longer
answers Usually the questions have
TO do with the construction 10 be
placed upon letters, kilograms, etc,
that have been read into the record.
IL frequently is necessary 10 go over
these documents several times and TO
quote freely from them.
Some idea OF the latitude given TO
Mr.. CLAWS may be gained from the
fact that, including the two sessions
today. the printed testimony of this
one witness alone covers nearly two
thousand pages. Mr.. Yertrees and
Mr.. CLAWS had several long wrangles
In the afternoon as to the meaning
OF many letters and kilograms A typ
ical instance was a telegram from
Mr. Balllnger In reply to a message
from Commissioner bennett of the
land office, In which the secretary
stated his reluctance to act In the
Alaska cases and suggested that Mt.
bennett made the necessary orders
himself as TO postponlng the hear
ings
Mr.. Vertress sought TO show that
this meant that Mr.. BalllnGer was not
directing the Alaska cases In any way
whatsoever Mr. CLAWS, on the other
hand insisted that the only construc-
tion he could put upon the telegram
was that 1t showed that none OF the
officials in the department dared do
anything In the cases without first
consulting the secretary Mr., CLAWS
contended that the telegram conveyed
a specific order by Secretary Ball
niger,
Mr.. Vertrees. at the morning ses-
sion. drew from the witness stand
the important fact that at the time
the Cunningham claims were ordered
clear listed" In January. 1908. and in
fact, up to the time that Mr Balling-
er lett the service as commissioner
of the land Office on March 4, 1908,
there had been no adverse reports
on these claims and that the Cunning
ham Journal. which contained the
first evidence of alleged agreement
among the claimants. had not then
been discovered
The late afternoon session was de-
voted 10 an inquiry into motives of
Mr.. CLAWS In seeking the assistance
of Gifford Pinchot. CLAWS said he
went 10 him because he had faith In
him and felt he was absolutely sin
