FLYNN STARTS TO
 TRAIN FOR JOHNSON.

Las Vegas, N. M., June 1.-When Jim Flynn arose at o'clock, this morning, his real training for his fight with Jack Johnson on July 4th. be- gan. Tommy Ryan, the old middle weight champion who took charge of the Pueblo fireman, arose at the same hour. It is said that Ryan intends to shape his training course entirely by Flynn's slugging style. He will not attempt to teach his man the finer points of the game but wln give him plenty of hard work with the gloves and in the gymnasium in order to harden him. Those who have been watching Ryan believe that as a re- suit there will be some real battles in Hymns gymnasium during the next months training and not a series of dainty boxing matches. Johnson con- tinues to confine his training mainly to road work, taking long runs twice every day. His outdoor boxing plat form has been installed. however, and early next week he expects to taks on Cutler and his other boxers.

WOULD RESTRICT MOTORCYCLES TO
 SPEED OF CARS
Coroner Phelan's Sugges-
 tion to Authorities in Con
 nection With Exoneration of Dennison. &

Suggestion that motor vehicles of all sorts, particularly motor cycles, be re- stricted to the speed of trolley cars is embodied in the finding of Coroner John J. Phelan in the inquest into the death of Jerome Tplly,- killed two weeks ago by a motor cycle ridden by Clarence Dennison. >x
 DennisOn was exonerated of crim- inal responsibility in the finding of Coroner Phelan. However the !coro- ner took advantage of the opportun- lty to suggest <that the officials take steps to restrict the speed Of motor ists. particularly motor cyclists.
 Prosecutor Delaney acting on the finding of the coroner, entered noIle in tn granddaughter charge against the motor cyclist. Dennison,. a ship ping clerk, aged q, has been deprived of his license, and will have to show cause why its revocation should. not be made permanent, at hearing be- fore Secretary of State Rogers.

Will you please wire me New sYork city collect whether we can rely, upon your support for Senator Root for temporary chairman. .CSign- ed) William Barnes, Jr.''
