CUbANS plan BIG
SPORTING RESORT
Havana Destined to Become
One of the Greatest Gamb.
ling Meccas in World.

Havana, July 1.-Plans are COM
pleted for beginning work on what
the promoter sintend to be the big
gest sporting resort in the western
hemisphere. It ID to be built ON the
high banks Of the Almendares river,
in what is known as Buena Vista,
Just inside the corporate limits. 1t
will be backed by Cuban capitalists
who have incorporated a 100000
company.
The Havana city council has al
ready granted the company ten
years. franchise that permits of prac-
tically every known form Of gamb-
ling and other of the generally pre-
scribed sports. All that remains to
make this franchise operative is the
signature Of the mayor, and Aldredo
Misa, the head of the enterprise. says
no trouble will be found in getting
the mayors signature. er~
. The promoters plan to make Hav-
ana the biggest gambling mecca in
the world outside Of Monte Carlo, and
possibly Nice and Venice, for at least
four months of the year, the winter
months, when tourist travel from the
United States Is at its height.
Race Track Surveyed.
A huge casino is to be constructed
in Buena Vista and a race track is
being surveyed Just outside the town,
q big amphitheater, wherein may be
held prize fights, bull fights and ath-
letic games is also being considered.
as we'll as a baseball park to which
big league teams in the United States
will be invited for training seasons.
The franchise gives the company
the right to use during its carnival
seasons all the vacant lots belonging
to the city on which 1t is proposed to
erect temporary gambling booths and
places for other amusements. The
purpose Of this is to give the COM
pany an iron clad monopoly on all
the gambling privileges in the city.
The city authorities have promised Sc
curity from interference and in re-
turn the company will probably be
called on to make liberal division
with the city.
Lorenzo Castellanos, former secre-
tary to the president, is the attorney
for the company. President Gomez
himself Is quoted as favoring the en-
terprise.

strewn arena and almost fell over
"watchman" numbering on bed Of
boards. Search disclosed the other
two likewise enjoying calm repose.
Richard promptly discharged all three
and hunted around until he found an
other trio to take their places.
Special Gloves Made.
The gloves to be worn by thehght-
ers have been made and placed to the
order Of each contestant, careful
measurements of the hands and
wrists Of the men having been taken.
There was much rejoicing at jack
Johnson's camp as result Of the
champions splendid workout In the
afternoon. The presence Of Cover
nor Dickerson 10 believed to have
been a source Of considerable inspira-
ton to the big negro and his spirited
performance was enjoyed by the large
crowd that gathered about the boxing
platform.
Contrary to the usual sparring sys-
tom employed during the last several
weeks, the champion did not place
himself wholly on the defensive yes
terday, but forced the work himself
much to the discontinue of his OPP
ponents. At the conclusion Of the
twelve fast rounds that constituted
the workout, the negro was still
breathing lightly and though he was
perspiring freely there was no indica-
ton Of fatigue and he was in the best
Of humor.
johnson showed vast appreciation
Of the governors favorable comments
on his condition and was plainly high
ly hattered when the states chief ex-
ecutive visited him in his room. Man.
ager Tom Flanagan, who participated
In the chat, tried to draw from the
governor what he thought Of the spar
ring match, but the latter sidestepped
and dismissed the question.

REFEREES JOB NOT
WORRYING RICHARD
Promoter Seems to Take His
Position Easily-criticisms
without Effect.

Reno. New, July 1.-Promoter Rick
ard is not greatly concerned over the
momentous role he Is to play on the
afternoon of the Fourth, and he as
serts with convincing earnestness
that he has no misgivings whatever
regarding his ability to referee the
big fight.
why. I have not given the subject
single thought" he told q group Of
newspaper men. "The job will be a
snap. With seasoned fighters like
Jeffries and johnson to deal with. it
will be the easiest thing in the world
to take care Of the referees end. I
have been assured by both men that
they are entirely satisfied to have me
in tho ring, and they will do every
thing they can to smooth my way"
Someone asked him IL he ever had
presided over q big ring event before.
Nothing very big" the promoter
answered, "but don't think for min
ute that I'm not wise to every angle
Of prizefighting. I've followed 1t
practically all my life and II there 10
anybody that knows any more about
the ms and outs of the game, I'd like
to have him named. People come to
me and say I'm foolish to take on this
Job because I've not had much prac-
they are talking about. If q man
knows fighting as we'll as knew It,
there's no reason why he can't Jump
in and take charge Of a big tight, even
II he has not had much actual train
cerned, I don't believe IN working up
as referee through little fights to
big ones. I'd rather begin at the
top
"And then work DOWN. was the
testing amendment Of bystander.
but Tex, though he laughed with the
crowd, did not seem to catch the
point Of the joke, and he nodded as
sent.
VIII Act Square.
There are many who declare that
the appointment Of Richard was a
mistake, owing to his admitted mex
perfence as an arbiter Of contests.
Even his critics, however, appear to
be satisfied that when he enters the
ring, the promoter will do the right
thing as he sees It. and will endeavor
to give each contestant square deal.
Preparations for the fight are near
ing completion, and by the end Of the
week probably nothing essential will
remain to be done. Remarkable pro-
gress made on the construction Of the
arena has silenced the doleful pre-
dications Of pessimistic fans who
were fearful that the huge structure
would not be finished ON time, and 1t
has banished all doubts of there not
being an ample number Of seats for
the crowds expected to pour into Reno
between now and the day Of the fight.
Great care is being exercised by the
contractors against the danger of fire,
and three night watchmen were ap-
pointed at the beginning Of the work,
principally for the purpose Of guard
ing against .tramps whose careless
ness with lighted matches might
prove disastrous.
This fear Of conflagration has
weighed heavily on Richard and last
night he made a trip to the site to
assure himself that the necessary pre-
cautions were being taken. Upon en-
tering the Enclosure he was discon-
certed by the fact that no sign of a
patrol was visible. For i've minutes
or more he stumbled about the plank

THREE DAYS AND
THEN THE FIGHT
But Short Time Remains On.
til Big Affair at Reno is
All Over.

Reno. New. July 1.-only three
days to wait for the great. event for
which lovers Of the fighting game
have been preparing themselves mem
tally and financially ever since Jack
johnson landed that wallop on Tom
my Burns chin, Dec. s6. 1908. at Rush
Cutters Bay. New South Wales. On
ly six days are left for the fight Of
the Century. between the greatest
white. man that ever contested under
Queensbury rules and the greatest
negro gladiator since the day Of gal
liant old Peter jackson, admittedly the
greatest fighter tho race ever pro-
duced.
Reno 10 alive with the cream Of the
sporting world, with moro coming day
BY day. Never before have railway
men been confronted by such q prob
lem. Without sufacient trackage, the
ingenuity Of the trafic departments
will be taxed to the utmost to get the
many special and extra trains into
the city and out again, and room for
the DOZENS which will follow. Three
days more and Reno Is filled with
Thousands Of visitors. Some have
money and others have not. Mil
ttonaifes rub elbows with pan-hand-
lers and swap opinions with them.
Class has been cast to the winds and
.eyeryone meets everybody on the
sssne plane.
Weight IL Just Right
II looks now - II Jack Johnson
Will enter the ring within few
pounds Of the weight he originally
figured on, 2i0 pounds. He has been
singularly fortunate In holding his
weight, despite the predictions and
the apparent losses he sustained. The
TACT that he will do no work save
shadow boxing from now on gives
him an opportunity. to pick VI few
pounds before the Tight. With u ,ry
effort being made to divert Johnson's
mind from the fact that he has an
important engagement next Monday,
the camp at Kicks resort is as lively
IS. an interrupted st Patrick's day
parade. The champion works over
time at his favorite instrument, the
bass .viol, and the camp song birds
oil the mountain atmosphere with
melody.
Mock trials add merriment and the
baseball game between the newspa-
per men and camp followers, with
Johnson doing the umpiring, is in
tended to, keep :. the. big chunk of
chocolate from getting fretful.
Opinion is divided over Johnson's
condition. His followers say he is
better than ever. Others do not fan
cy his style Of work and complain
that he shows speed only at inter-
walls. There Is considerable truth in
the, latter statement.
johnson went through his training
stunts Thursday for the moving pic
ture men. The champion can be
banked upon when 1t comes to cut
ting up q good show. He is alwaps
accommodating when the publicity is
at stake.

COTTON COMPRESS IS NOVEL
Device Invented by Houston Man on
Entirely Different Plan from
That Of Others.

An electrically driven cotton COM
press. operated on an entirely differ.
ent principle from that on which the
ordinary compress in use works, has
been invented by a Houston man,
Lemuel Tanner.
The compress consists of a movable
platform, which works up and down
on four spiral rods. the motors for
driving the compress being on the
platform itself.
The screws, which work up and
down on the spiral rods, work hori.
zontally in the platform. the joint be-
ing arranged with ball bearings. This
screw extends two or three feet above
the level Of the platform, where it is
broadened. horizontally. and becomes
bevel gear. This gear is driven by
complementary bevel gear, which
Is In turn driven by an endless chain
or belt connected to the main shaft,
the main shaft running between the
two motors located on the platform.
Beneath the platform there is an
Offset, the base of which is the size
of bale. The base of this Offset is
the part which comes in contact with
the bale. The offset enables an op-
orator to stand beneath the platform
and work there. The four upright
spiral rods are bedded In concrete at
the bottom and secured above by
heavy beams.
The cost Of the whole affair is much
less than that of the style of COM
press now used, and the inventor main
tains that it will entirely change the
present system when completed. Pat
ents on the machine are pending.
This is one of several patents per-
fected by Mr.. Tanner, who has recent.
ly secured a patent on a track-raising
machine and ship-leakage alarm.

SCISSORS WITH A SAW-TO0TH
Teeth Hold Material Fast and Prevent
II from Slipping Toward End
of the Shears.

A very handy tool can be made from
an old pair of scissors or shears, as
shown in the accompanying sketch
One blade is cut with a set of saw
teeth inclined toward the handle.
These teeth hold the material fast,
and prevent It slipping toward the
point of the shears. Rubber sheeting,
strips, and all kinds of soft packing
can be easily cut with square or In
clined ends. 1t matters not in what
position the scissors are held; they
will cut without slipping. In using
these scissors for rubber and other
slippery goods, the saw-toothed blade
should be on the bottom to obtain the
best results. Heavy rubber and pack
ing can be cut with less effort, as 1t
Is not necessary to hold the scissors
against the goods to prevent slipping.
The same design of lower blade can
be applied to plumbers and metal
workers shears with change in the
relative positions Of the holding and
cutting blades, says Scientific Ameri-
can. If the saw-toothed blade is kept

Thorough Culture.

A good way Of maintaining soil fer

as oats stubble, corstalks and weeds
just before blowing in the spring, then
working down into the ground wit,

plant food in the soil, but loosens up
the top layer and acts as a mulch, pre-
venting evaporation. The disk goes
