There will be no spots on the victor's

Luther has demanded of the men on

Though Willard will outweigh his
sailor opponent SO pounds, odds
shifted today, and the Smith party
is a 10-to-7 faYorite on the coast.
There is no question but what Smith
has knockout punch and expert
ence. Against this the Iess-experi-
enced Willard is matching a marve-
lous physique, reach that is some
inches longer than Smith and bar
rel of confidence. That SO pounds
advantage in weight will be a great
help to the Missourian, and the fact
that he towers head over Smith is
another point in his favor. Willard
looks good from here
If the Jack Britton-Eddie Murphy

PORTIONS OF TEXAS ARE
RLANkETED WITH SNOW

Dallas, Texas, Jan. For the first
time in several years a large portion OF
Texas was blanketed in snow today.
San Antonio, Texas's winter resort,
which is partly green the year round
was white with s1eet which remained
oil the ground for several hours.
Dallas had it's first snow in four
years. Fort Worth, Waco and nu-
merous other places reported snow
storms, mostly light.
At Houston, ice on wires and ira cks
seriously delayed traffic. The cold in
that section penetrated the citrus fruit
belt, but growers declared they felt no
fear of crop damage as IS above zero
is the danger mark and the prospect
was the cold wave would pass out of
Texas today without reaching that
temperature on the gulf coast
At Galveston last night the unusual
news that freeze was coming was
srread through bulletins posted in front
OF newspaper offices and was heralded
by the moving picture show screens.
Texas temperatures ranged from be-
low freezing in the Pan Handle to
freezing on the coast. -

HOPES OF ORANGE AND
LEMON GROWERS BLASTED

Los Angeles, Jan. Temperatures
from 4 to s degrees lower than Sunday
night were recorded last night, blast
ing the hopes of orange and lemon
growers. 1t was said today that citrus
fruit losses would be extremely heavy.
Estimates of damage ran from 10 to
so million dollars. Railroad freight
losses, figured in terms of shipment,
were approximately in the statement
of the shippers that the 1913 crop OF
oranges and lemons would be from ten
to twenty thousand carloads short.
Last years crop netted growers s35,-
100000. Eleven millions went to the
railroads in fruit and refrigerator
charges. At the beginning of the sea
son this years crop value was esti-
mated at $50,o00,0o0
Actual losses TO both growers and
railroads, however, will be dependent
to certain extent upon the attitude
o. the government toward the ship
ment of slightly damaged fruit.
The head of a big shipping concern
declared that if the government held
the same attitude as it did last year
ia the northern '.sweated fruit cases
the present crop would be the smallest
in the history of the citrus industry.

and other fuels were used in tbs

south and central sections, with rain
in the northern portion Wednesday.
Colder in extreme northwest, portion
with a cold wave at night; Thursday,
colder and fair except for rain in the
northeast portion with moderate south
winds shifting to northwest.--Moore.''
That is about all there Is to 1t. ex-
cept that it seems probable it will get
cold, perhaps as cold as zero, in the
northeast portion. This city would not
be guilty OF such spectacular recep-
ton Of the cold wave as Galveston,
where newspaper bulletins and bio
graph screens sent cilills up and down
the spines of a lot OF good folks
throughout the day.
However, reports which came IN last
night state that much Of the state of
Texas is now blanketed with snow.
The invalid suggests that it will
keep lots of folks warm during the
several hours of the freeze if they will
start in to figure how many square
inches of snow it would take to
blanket Texas one inch deep. And If
the sun hasn't driven of old Uncle
Zero when the result is attained then
turn to finding out how much this
would cause the Mississippi to over
flow If it all melted and ran in.
This is guaranteed.
