TAFT'S SON IN AUTO
RUNS OVER WORKMAN
LabOrer Seriously Hurt; Taft
Greatly Distressed

BEVERLY, Mass, June 27.-One of
President Taft's automobiles, driven by
his son, Robert A. Taft, ran over and
seriously injured a street laborer today.
At the hospital it was said there were
indications that the workman's skull
was fractured and that his condition
was serious.
Robert Taft, with two college friends,
Lendal King of Minneapolis and George
Harrison of Washington, started out
from the summer White House this
morning for a spin along the Massa-
ehusetts north shore. Robert was at
the steering wheel.
At Prides crossing, about two miles
from home, the streets were being oiled.
The automobile was slowed down. The
horn sounded and most of the men
stepped aside. One OF them, however,
was not quick enough and the machine
struck him, tossing him into the gut
ter. He was unconscious when picked
up by Robert Taft and his friends.
All those who saw the affair said that
it was purely an accident and that the

ARMSTRONG FALLS
FROM JEFPS BLOW
Dusky Retainer and Manager
Sam Berger Both Come i'm
for Rough Handling

RENO. New, June 27.&The last week
of preparation for the fourth OF July
struggle for supremacy between Jim
Jeffries and Jack johnson opened in
Reno without any of the excitement
which marked its immediate predeces-
sors. Such progress was made on the
arena yesterday and today that it's
completion in time for the fight is GER
tain; both fighters are in splendid trim
and showing no sign of their sudden
change from sea level to a high aIti-
tude, and everything connected with the
greatest sporting event of this or any
other age is moving along in a thor
oughly satisfactory way.
Swinging himself onto the boxing
platform at MOana springs shortly after
8 o'clock this morning, Jim Jeffries
plunged into IL rounds of continuous
boxing, alternating with Choynslxi, Cor
bett, Armstrong and Berger, and fol-
lowed up with two rounds of tugging
and hauling around the ring with
Farmer Burns. 1t was fast, furious
work from start to finish, and jeff kept
increasing his pace until in the final
round with Berger it was very close to
ment's rest during the melee, yet he
came out of it without a sign of ia
tigue.
Choynski was the first man to mix
it with the big fighter. Joe and Jeff
did not do any very lively work, JEFF
remarking that he was not fully awake
as yet. Corbett came next for one
round and things began to speed up
Berger mixed in for round and then
Armstrong, and at each change Jeff
added to his speed. In the last of his
three rounds with Armstrong he sent
his dusky retainer to the floor with a
powerful right. 1t was a clean knock
down and brought a round of laughter
and applause from the camp followers.
In all jeff boxed three rounds with
Choynski, three with Berger. three with
Armstrong and two with Corbett The
last round was with Berger, and this
one attracted most attention. Jeff, who
was dancing about the ring like a
schoolboy, 1nsinuated that Sam was too
tired to go another round. Berger re-
sented it and retorted I'll show you
whether l can go another or not"
He dashed at Jeffries with a vigOr
that carried the big man back a step or
two, and they went at it hard, rough
inf it around the ring without a pause
until the gong tapped. The blows they
exchanged appeared not to be lacking
in steam, and the training crew greed
after it was over that it was the fastest
work Jeff has done since he began
getting into shape.
John Jeffries, brother of the former
champion, arrived from San Francisco
this morning, accompanied by his wife

JOHNSON TO QUIT

Report Thar COIOred Champion
Is TO Cease His Trafninq
Tomorrow Denied

RENO, New, June 27.-Reports were
in circulation tonight that Johnson
proposed to do an unusual amount of
boxing tomorrow and close his train
ing. This was denied by everybody at
the camp. Johnson works from day to
day as rule, seldom planning ahead
and he is said to be as indefinite as to
the end of his training as he is about
other matters.
According to statements previously
made by the black champion, he will
close his work on Saturday.
Announcement was made by Tom
Flanagan today that a representative
of Canadian syndicate had arrived in
Reno and was prepared to make an
offer of $150,000 for the Canadian rights
to the fight pictures. Jack Gleason
is expected to return to Reno Wednes-
day, and further developments in nego-
tiations for his share of the picture
profits are anticipated.

with trying to work UP "Shallen-

pened to be in good position to take
the lead in organizing the Federation,
and recognizing the need of it he went
at it. Partisan politics has never been
mentioned in the organization, nor will
it be. Coffey ought to have the nerve
to go to it. He would make strong
candidate, and if nominated and elect
ed would be power for good in the
union cause in the Legislature. The
union man who would utter the false
hood that Coffey was trying to play
politics through the Federation would
simply convict himself Of being lot
