add to the attractions, up the road a
bit towards the hills there is pri-
vate reservoir where small mouth
bass are found. If there is one
weakness the big fellow has, it is
hooking the small mouthed bass.
Therefore, Moana is homelike to
Jeff.
Jeffries had not been in town five
minutes before he inquired about
the fishing. StrOlling to the ball
park at Moana, he met a native
with all kinds of tackle hooked to
his hat. In a minute Jeff opened up
line of conversation that spelled
trout. For a full half hour he ar
gued as to the merits of certain
brands of leaders and flies, how to
work a sinker and when to make
the pull. If he thought of the fight
on which the eyes of the sporting
world are focused he was the last
man in the party who gave any
evidence of it.

mother!"
Downey approached the lad after
he had fallen and addressed insult
ing remarks to him. A crowd gath
cred and there were ugly mutter-
ings of violence toward the police
man when three or four other Off
GERS appeared on the scene and
backed up Downey.
Witnesses declare that Downey
after he came up to the PROSTATE
boy seized his head and said he
wasn't hurt.
After the patrol wagon was call
ed, the wounded lad was picked up
like some drunken loafer and pitch
ed into the wagon. This was too
much for the boy, in his wounded
condition, and he passed into con-
vulsion and became unconscious af
ter reaching the floor of the patrol
wagon.
Arrived at the station, the story
was manufactured and given out by
the police department that the
shooting was accidental and that
Downey, in falling in the pursuit of
the boy, dropped his gun, and that
the weapon was thus accidentally
discharged, hitting Curry.
There were at least 20 witnesses
of the shooting. II of whom called
up The Press to give the story
straight. rather than see the report
issued By the police department
passed by. ..'-
Curry, the wounded boy, is said
to belong to good family at AS

At the Sacred Heart hospital this
afternoon, his condition was report
ed to be very low and dangerous.
Officer Downey has been on the

recently been living apart from his

RENO. New, June 23.-When
Governor Gillett slipped a right
hook to the jaw of the fight game
in California and the big fuss was
moved up to Reno the crackers
said: Can Jeffries stand the high
altitude? Can the heart of man
of his age, worked to the fine edge,
stand up under the rarified atmo-
sphere and come out whole?"
The answer is simple. Jeffries
can stand the change and the
chances are 10 to l that when it
comes to a case of acclimation he
will be far better able to stand the
change than Johnson. Jeffries is a
born mountaineer.
Barring the altitude, Moana
Springs, where Jeff has set up
training quarters, is Rowardennan

tage is the greensward, to the rear
is a little lake, bordering the drive
ways are graceful poplars, the hills
are all about and within stepping
distance are trout innumerable. The

A PECULIAR METHOD OF
DEALING WITH SUSPECTS.

Men have been arrested as sus-
poets by members of the police de-
partment of Spokane in the last
few months who, when searched at
the police station, were found to
possess considerable money. After
some Of these suspects" had en-
gagged counsel they were suddenly
released by order of the heads of
the police department and told to
leave town, without giving their at
torneys a chance to explain how
they were so hurriedly let out Of
Jail and rushed out OF the city.
In one case in particular, a no.
tOrious confidence man was arrest
ed some three or four months ago.
He VISA slated as a Suspect" and
evidence sufficient to convict him
was secured by the officer that
made the arrest. On being searched
at the police station the man was
found to have $400 on his person.
The following day when the arrest
ing officer came around to see as
to when the mans case would be
called for trial he was informed by
one of the heads of the police de-
partment that they had found
nothing to the mans case and that
he had been turned loose and or
dered to leave the city. Some OF
the mans intimate friends after
ward told the arresting officer that
the confidence man had borrowed
enough money to get out of town.
What became of the $780," was
asked.
"Give me an easier question:,
was the answer.
Under circumstances of this char
acter the honest policeman Is
placed at a serious disadvantage.
When he makes good catch, in
an honest effort to do something.
his work is liable to be overturned
by the "higher-ups."

STILL MORE DLSCORD IN
RELIGIOUS CONVENTION

There was slight uprising yes
terday in the peaceful running of
affairs Of the Christian Endeavor
convention which is being held at
the Central Christian church.
Rev. w. ]. Minges, at the close of
the services, attempted to pass
cards announcing the meetings be-
ing conducted by Rev. Charles
Reign Scoville in the tent at the
corner of Maxwell avenue and Mon
roe street, when E. Clarence Frost,
chairman of the convention commit
tee, objected.
While w. F. Meier, the state pres
ident, and c. F. Cowan of the enter
tainment committee, were explain
ing to Rev. hinges the reasons for
the objection, Mr.. Frost carried the
cards to the basement of the church
and deposited them in a corner.
This is the second discord since
the convention began, to support of
four Presbyterian churches having
been withdrawn few days ago.

IF YOU WANT To
LAUGH SEE ANTI,
MATR|MONY SURE

Are you mat, or an anti-mat?
Are you in favor of the marriage
state? rpy
That was the question asked in
Henrietta Crosman's play, Anti
MatrimOny," at the Auditorium last
night. It's delightfully."- funny
piece, and as wholesome as it can
be, in spite of the title. Miss Cros-
man has kept her old charm, and,
although the play does not give full
scope to her talents. she is very
pleasing. Her support is splendid
all of them.
In the play the "anti-mats" are
cured very thoroughly of their the
cries, and the way they are cured
is the story Of the production.
"AntiMatrimony" will be given
again tonight. If you want an even
ing of hearty laughter, see 1t.

KILLED WITH MALLET

der fierce questioning by the police
broke down and confessed.
The state department notified
Captain Scott of the suspected
presence of Charlton on board the
Princess Irene. He notified Lieu
tenant Rogers of the New York po-
lice department and with Rogers
and Detective Sergeants Garrick
and Weinthal of Hoboken, boarded
the Princess Irene at noon. They
opened the cabin of man regis
tered as Jack Coleman, Omaha,
Neb.," and found Charlton. Captain
Scott identified the man as Charl-
ton The suspect denied his lden-
tty. He was hurried to police head
quarters and there compelled to
write his assumed name. The hand
writing closely resembled the sig
nature of Porter Charlton. Then he
confessed his identity and made a
detailed signed statement.
First of all he exonerated Con-
tantine Ispolatoff. the Russian ar
rested near the Villa Legnazzi, as
Mrs. Charlton's murderer. He said
that his wifes temper was ungov-
ernable and that she frequently
used vile language.
On the day he killed her, accord
ing to Charlton's confession, she
had cursed him He struck her with
a mallet and after putting her body
in trunk threw ii into Lake Como.
On the following day he went to
Genoa to elude the authorities.
CHARLTON'S STATEMENT.
Charlton's statement follows.

world to me, but she had an UNI
governable temper and we had
Quarrels frequently. She used vile
language, the meaning OF which l
am sure she did not know.
The day killed her, she cursed
me and | told her that if she did

struck her with mallet with which

which we had been lying. l
thought she was dead.
Il stuffed the body into trunk
and threw the mallet in after her.
That night, after midnight,
dragged the trunk to the pier near
Moltrasco and threw it into the
lake. On the following day I left
Como for Genoa and boarded the
Princess Irene four days later"
Charlton signed the statement
and then underneath he wrote: 81
understand that n. c. Ispolatoff
has been charged with the crime
He is absolutely guiltless. | have
no defense to make and wish tC
make none"
While Charlton was calmly max
ink his confession Captain Scott
listened in silence. Almost abrupt
ly Charlton made a serious charge
against his dead wife. Scott rose
drew a revolver, and pointed it al
the prisoner.
Charlton sprang from his chail
and fell to his knees begging the
captain not to shoot. Detective
Weinthal and other policemen
grappled with the Infatuated arm,

from his hands.

The beauty of the divorce trust
to those within the combine and
the patrons that derive its benefits,
is that there is always an assur-

asked and the whole proceedings
go through with ease and rapidity.
Where the grounds for the divorce
are a little uncertain a connection
of this kind is valuable for a man
