JOHNSON PLEADS OWN
CASE IN FRISCO COURT

San Francisco. Feb. 1s.-Whether
Jack Johnson is guilty of violating the
speed ordinance and resisting officer
still is a mooted question jury in
Judge Conlans court yesterday after
noon wrestled with the knotty problem
for more than an hour without comfng
to an agreement. Eight stood for con-
viction and four for acquittal. john
son is still under a $3.50 bond, but in
all probability the case will not come
to trial again. Johnson acted as his
own attorney and the manner in which
he handled the prospective jurors caus-
ed the opposing legal talent to sit up
and take notice. All morning Johnson
wrestled with venre of fifty business
men and 1T was late in the afternoon
when he passed the twelfth juror. The
evidence was strongly against the
dusky champion and he left the court
room after the verdict wearing a gol-
den smile that would not come off.

KELLY GETS 2 BOUTS
IN \. !. NEXT MONTH
Eastern Promote Signs HUI.
go-Fails to Land NC
Farland for Moran.

Hugo Kelly indicated yesterday that
he is going after the much disputed
middleweight championship in dead
earnest The local Italian boxer, who
has been out of the game since he broke
a hand on Frank Klaus head last De-
cember, received a visit from Jimmy
Johnson. acting matchmaker of the
Fairmont A. c. of New York, and lost
no time in signing articles for two
bouts in Gotham next month.
Kelly's first opponent will be Jimmy
Smith of Brooklyn, said to be one of
the toughest of the eastern 15S pound
ers. This bout will be decided March T.
After exactly two weeks rest, or on
March 81. Hugo will clash with Frank
Klaus. whom he outpointed in twelve
rounds at Boston the time he fractured
his hand.
Smith will be remembered as the boy
who gave Stanley Ketchel a hard fight
in the last battle the late middleweight
champion ever fought. Smith was GO
ing along nicely and making a great
showing until he became overconfident
bumped his chin into one of Ketch S
lawmakers and took the ten count
Kelly hopes to make both these
fights winners and be in a position to
Smith of Australia in case the latter
comes to America.
Johnson. though successful in the
Kelley case. was unable to line ur
, Packey Mcfarland for his proposed
bout with owen Moran. Packey and
the Briton are just four hours apart or
the Weighing time and johnson hopes
to smooth matters over at another con-
ference today. Packey is holding out
for 135 pounds at o'clock. while Mo-
ran is insisting on the same weight a
o'clock. The latter is the notch Nc
Farland agreed to do for Wolgast, ant
Moran feels that he is entitled to the
same weight.
Johnson brought to Chicago a report
that Abe Attell is going back rapidly
According to the New Yorker, Abe wa:
in bad shape before he broke his shout
der against kilbane and soon will LOSE
his title The wonderfully clever IL.
pound champion is said to be losing
weight rapidly and to be in poor health
generally. Abe's first go when hi:
shoulder mends is to be with Jem Dris
coll. best of English feathers. who out
boxed him two years ago in New York
/ SO it would seem that he is in grave
danger of being beaten.

BURNS IS FIGHTING TO
SAVE BOXING IN WASH;
MICH. TO HAVE BOUTS
Tommy's Bill Seems AS.
sured of Passage in West
ern Legislature.

San Francisco. Feb. 1S.-Having fin
ished with the vanities of the roped
arena-that is, so far as active partici-
patton in glove contests is concerned
Tommy Burns is lobbying in the inter
ests of the ring game with a. goodly
show of success at Olympia, Wash.
Tommy stands sponsor for measure
seeking to permit sparring bouts in
the state of Washington, and even
while said measure is awaiting action
in the legislature it has come to be
known as the Tommy Burns prize fight
bill.
What is more. there is reason for
believing that the bill will become a
law. 1t provides for ten round bouts
with six ounce gloves and without de-
cisions. The bill has now reached its
third reading and will go on the cal
endar to come up for final passage
within the next few days. Tommy
Burns is on the ground and is in charge
of the fight being, made for the bill
1t is said that Burns will have con-
troll of the boxing clubs which will be
organized if the bill passes, and this
means, no doubt. that Tommy will con-
| fine himself solely to the promotion OF
pugilism in the future.

Denies
 What Schiff Says
 On Russian Jews
Especial from United Press


 Gloucester, Nov. 18.-Reiterating in even stronger terms than those prev tously that Jacob Schiff was guilty of an untruth in charging him with at- tempting to influence President Taft in regard to passports or any other Russian affairs, J ohn Hays Hammond, today, gave to the United Press, the following exclusive statement from his home on the North shore.
 (By John Hays Hammond.)
 MT. Schiff's statement that I have endeavored to influence President Taft in regard to passports or other Russian affairs is absolutely false. I nave never discussed the subject with the President, with MT. RockhiI or with Russian officials.
 "Mr. Schiff's declared hostility to- wards Russia, his statements that money of Jewish bankers made the success of Japan possible in the Rus so-Japanese war, have greatly en- barrassed efforts of Jewish friends and myself to improve conditions of his co-religionists in Russia.
 Il have endeavored to promote bet ter feelings between the people of the two countries by encouraging devcl- opment or commercial relations I am assured by Jewish friends in Rus sia and elsewhere that elimination of prejudice in Russia against Ameri- cans because of American sympathy with Japan was prerequisite to sue cesSful intercession on behalf of the Russian Jew.'

RAIN MAKES
 ROAD WET TO
 YALE GAME
New Haven Stores Are Cleaned of Rubber Coats, Rubbers and Umbrellas Some Improvise Caps of Oil Cloth.
Special from United Press.)

New Haven, Nov. a1S-Among the thousands of visitors who came here this morning for the Yale-Princeton football game, there was one old fel- low decidedly unwelcome. He was Jupiter Pluvius, who brought along a brand of rain not to be denied by rubber coats and shoes and umbrellas. A gusty wind carried the rain to every point of the compass at the same time.
 Instead of parading the streets as in former years, the main crowds sought shelter in stores and door ways.
 After passing through that ordeal known as the New Haven railroad station, incoming visitors were solicit ed to ride in everything on wheels, to the Yale Field.
 The roads to the gridiron were trav- ersed by a long line of vehicles of every description. Automobiles were SO. numerous that they might have cost nickel apiece. Several thousand of the reckless spirits braved pneu- monia by walking to the field.
 The old grads visited familiar scenes and looked up favorite haunts. Among the popular drinking places was .sMorey's" where it is said no women have ever entered except Carry Ma tion, Lillian Russell, Mrs. Langtry, Gaby Deslys and the scrubwoman. Tho lid was cracked and wide open.

JAYNES WILL BE CITY ENGINEER,
 NOTHING ELSE Foolish for Him to Consider Post of First Assistant at
 Present Salary Not Willing to Give Rail road Engineer Advantage
 of His Municipal Ex- perience

Frank B. Jaynes, of the engineering staff of Scofield & Ford, will not ac- cept a position on the staff of the city engineer He said today that he would accept nothing in the office of the city engineer but the position of city engineer.
 ''1t is absurd to suppose that would accept a post at the salary of $1,450 paid to the city engineers first as- sistant. I couldn't afford to do it,
 MT. Jaynes addressed a letter to The Farmer today in connection with his ing short of the city engineers posi- tion. It follows:
 'I wisl to deny the insinuation con- tained in your article of last evening, viz, that have been seeking or would accept the office of first assistant city engineer or any other position on the staff at the trifling salary named.
 Your informant on this point is in error (not to use the uglfer word), and as I consider your article derogatory I wish to have this letter made pub- lic."
 MT. Jaynes is considered we'll versed in municipal engineering in view of Ford, and Starr & McKenna, which positions brought him into close con- tact with the city engineering work.
 It was believed advisable by those interested in the New Haven road en- gineer, Albert Terry, becoming city engineer that MT. Jaynes should go into the office with him. MT. Terry's experience has been chiefly along rail- road work, and 1t was believed that Mr. Jaynes would prove valuable to him while he fami iarized himself with the municipal engineering of this city.
