every department of the fighting game.
Before l entered the ring 1 was certain

mind at any time.
"Jeffries' blows had no steam behind
them, so how could he hope to defeat
me? With the exception of slight
cut on my lower lip, which was really
caused by an old wound being struck,
am unmarked. I heard people at
the ringside remark about body blows
being inflicted upon ME. l do not re-
call a single punch in the body that
caused me any discomfort. L am in
shape to battle again tomorrow if II
were necessary. One thing 1 must give
Jeffres credit for is the game battle
he made He came back at me with
the heart of a true fighter. No man
can say he did not DO his best.
II believe we both fought fairly.
There was nothing said between US
which was rough. He Joked me and
I joked him. l told him l knew he
was a bear, but 1 was a gorilla and
would defeat him.
For the next few weeks l shall
play vaudeville. Then l shall go to

the statement he would retire perma-

pressions from all his friends here, and
there are close to 800 of them on the
ground, will be some comfort to him in
his defeat, as he really Is more beloved
tonight than ever before because of his
natural gameness and his sacrifice in
risking his unbeaten record in order
to hold the championship for the white

words Retired and unbeaten cham

lost none of his real prestige with
his Los Angeles friends, who regard
him as a martyr to their cause. The

New York, June 25.-Unaware that
his every move was being closely
scrutinized by police of1cials or by
alienists employed to establish the
fact that he is insane and thus block
his extradition to Italy for the murder
OF his wife. Porter Charlton was kept
under the closest guard in the Hudson
county Jail at Jersey City today.
After rising early and pacing nery-
ously back and forth he became calm
and seemed to enjoy the light break
fast which he ordered and paid for
with his own money. After break
fast he settled dawn to reading the
Last Days of Pompeii'' and a volume
OF Bulwer-Lytton.
Though apparently he has no idea
of injuring himself, extreme care is
taken that he shall have no opportun-
ity for suicide. Upon the finding OF
four alienists who have been retained
to examine into the condition of the
young man today rests his fate. II

SENSATION RESULTED
HOLY FATHER SAYS HE WOULD

TON or HIS PREMIER.
(American News Service)

Rome, June 25.-Revelation Of the
fact that Cardinal Merry del Val, papal
secretary of state. had rendered his
resignation to Pope Plus x and that
the pontiff had refused to accept it
caused a sensation here today. The
Cardinals action had not been unex-
pected but that of the Pope caused
great surprise in view Of the critical
situation now existing In the relations
between the Vatican and Germany and
Spain.
That the Pope will remain firm in
his support of the secretary was made
rejected the resignation. They were:
Il would rather renounce the pa
pacy than lose the services of Merry
Del Val"
Firm Toward Spain.
All this is ken to indicate that
the vatican will be firm in its atti.
tude toward Spain and that there will
be no modification of it's stand on the
protest against the Spanish govern
ment's religious program, despite the
pending concordat negotiations.
The vatican appreciates the fact
that Premier Canalejas of Spain would
give the papal power an opportunity
to recede but with Merry del Val at
the helm it is certain that the utmost
firmness will be shown at all stages
No further action will be taken on
Germany's protest against the encycli
cal.
The opposition to del Val in the
college of cardinals is increasing daily
but with the support of the Pope he
will undoubtedly be able to hold his
own.

Fortune for Purpose.
RELIGIOUS WORK IN INDIA
palladium Specially

Spokane, Wash. June 25.-Mrs.
Springer Of Anderson, Ind, widow OF
George e. Springer, a wealthy lum-
herman of Indiana, who is visiting In
Spokane and Chewalah, Wash. has de-
cided to devote the rest of her life and
fortune to converting the heather in
India to Christianity. She will sail
from Philadelphia on August 27, going
to Bilaspo, $50 miles west OF Calcutta,
after touring Europe and the holy
land.
"Since coming to Spokane I have at
tended every session of the revivals
under the direction of DR.. Scoville,"
said Mrs. Springer, who is young and
attractive woman. ""Dr. Scoville con-
verted my late husband, who at one
time doubted the divinity Of Christ.
Shortly before he died Mr.. Springer ex-
pressed the hope that would expend
the fortune he had accumulated in
saving souls"
Asked how much money she intends
spending in foreign missionary work
Mrs. Springer replied without hesita-
ton:
"All I have, and guess that is
enough to pay my expenses.
'If were asked what my blessing
has been, would say that it was the
influence of DR.. Scoville-not for my
self as have been Christian since
childhood. but for my husband, who
was a doubter. His conversion is the
most comforting thing that has been
given to me through earthly agency"
When Mrs. Springer entered the
Moody institute in Chicago, two years
ago, she offered to pay the expenses
of any orphan in India. and Mott Lal,
a young idolater, was chosen. He
came under the influence Of Christian
teachers and is a Christian today
Mrs. Springer recently received small
package containing Motifs last little
idol. It told the story Of his final sur
render.
