JEFFR|ES DRUGGED
 BEFORE THE FIGHT
Barney Oldfield Makes Sensa-
 tional Charges
TOLD IN CONFIDENCE
OIdfieId Says That Jenrfes Recently Revealed to Him the Fact That Someone Drugged Him
 at Reno

Los Angeles, January That James J. Jefries entered the ring with Jack Johnson at Reno, July 1, a drugged man and not a man suffering from nervous collapse is the pith Of signed article by Barney Oldfield which will be published here tomorrow. and which has been authorized by the defeated champion Jeffries, however, will not allow the details concerning the alleged drugging to be published at this time, Oldfield said.
 According to Oldheld, Jeffries took him into his confidence during Q re- cent hunting trip in the Sierras.
 Oldheld's statement Is, In part, as follows:
 Mental or nervous collapse, Jeffries explained, would not have affected him physically for weeks after the fight. The poison which was given him af- fected his stomach afterwards and for a month he could scarcely retain solid food. His favorite dishes did not pos sess any charm of taste and his whole body seemed as If stricken with rheu- matism. When he began to get over the effects of the dope" he felt like convalescent from a spell of typhoid. He was positive 1t was no temporary mental or nervous trouble. I begged him to let me give to the world all the information hs possessed, but he refused, saying that he would rather have 1t come out from another source. He Is firm in tho belief that the de- tails will all come out within year or so.
 "Jeffries pledged me to secrecy about the details of the treachery and what he had been able to learn. He told me I was the only man who knew as much as I told you. I prom ised to aid him in. getting some in formation he cannot get himself. Jef- fries story to me absolved the mem bers of his training camp from any blame-that much I must say in jus tice to the men who helped him with all their heart
 'Tt was after Jeffries told me his story that I began to marvel at his present physical condition. For the 10 days we were in the mountains he performed stunts in endurance that did not think was possible for any man. Never once did he tail and re- fuse the opportunity to scale difficult peaks. To any man who has ever had a bit of experience in professional ath- letics or possesses a whit of knowledge gleaned around training camps, Jeffries' condition as he proved it day after day, must come as a revelation"

.L0RIMER MAY GIVE
 UP SENATE SEAT

Washington, January 7.-(Specfal. J. Senator Lorimer of Illinois, appalled, by the storm that will break in the Senate Monday over his election, may resign. Canvasses of the Senate are bringing out surprising amount of strength in opposition to the seating of the senator.
 Predictions today were freely made that Lorimer will be forced out of the Senate if he does not resign. Col leagues are voicing their criticism that he should appear on the floor of the Senate at a time when his fate is hanging in the balance. Others are say ing that he ought to resign.
 Many senators feel keenly that the Senate of the United States itself is on trial in the eyes of the people and that If 1t calmly submits to the seating of Lorimer in the face of what has been disclosed as to bribery in the Illinois legislature, that its standing will be ir- reparably damaged.
 One of the striking developments in the situation is the democratic strength In opposition to Lorimer. Inquiry among the Senate meneoers today dis closed that there is probably not over a third of them that will stand by Lorimer. Despite the fact that Senator Bailey of Texas has lined up for him. Two Virginia senators, Martin and Swanson, are the latest to be disclosed a in the oposition.
 This news. coming on the heels of the announcement that both Senator Rayner and Senator Smith of Maryland are against him, Is certain to havo weight M
 If Lorimer does not resign before Monday the fight will open then and will go to a finish this session.

Dug gar. director of the state experiment sta tion at Auburn. an experienced official is needed to look after the orchard dem- onstration work in Alabama. They point out that the $40O0 appropriation would be sufficient for the entire work.
 A table of expenses and receipts is add. ed to the report, showing that the re- sources of s225O were expended as fol- lows:
 Salaries, s1621 .26; travelling expenses, s430. .55; office supplies, $31 "A; postage, $39 s5; freight express, $1; farmers instl- tutes. s126.2O
