Is Now the Wife of an Outcast;
Not That of Once Champion

BY Cecilia Wright Keith, for the
United Press.]
HAVANA, April when wom-
an witnesses the greatest possible dis
aster-the fall OF man who tor
years has been the leader in his pro-
fcssion-her thoughts naturally 60
out TO the woman who is the most
vitality interested.
SO when Jack Johnson entered the
ring Monday, confident and assertive,
| turned to the ringside boxes, and
saw the white girl who had bound up
her life with that of the black-ex-
lied from her own family, her friends
and her country. She is pretty; per-
haps a little swagger because OF famil-
iarity with the boulevards of Paris
and Buenos Ayres, but nevertheless
she is a woman with the feelings of
n woman. And in the crisis OF her
life. her own sex must reach out the
hand OF understanding to her
hold no brief for her actions N
the past am only telling of her
looks as her partner in life went into
the conflict that was to change him
to one OF the heroes OF the past.
Every turn was followed by this
22-year- r-old girl from the west She
wore the same smile that Johnson dis
played. Both took the battle as a

Has Great Hopes
for Cash Boy

Ed Mead, secretary and general
manager OF the Cash Boy Consoii-
dated Mining company at Tonopah,
was an arrival in this city last night
and today is attending to some leg
al matters for his company.
Mr.. Mead is as enthusiastic as ever
over the prospects OF the property
he is managing, and believes, as do
many others who are familiar with
its location, that it is gong to be-
come one OF the big producers OF the
southern silver camp.
Operations for some time past nave
been retarded i'll the property by tne
presence of large volume OF water
in the shaft, but this is being reliev-
ed by drainage OF neighbor'ng mines

Oddie Impressed
With New Camp

When Jack Johnson fell down at
Havana he knew that Jess Willard
would rise up and be champion of the
world but he did not know that d
new mining camp would be named
after the white colossus in Nevada
before the sun quit shining on his
golden smile. But is was even so.
Tasker L. Oddie, former governor
and mining connoisseur, returned last
night from the new camp of Willard,
nine miles southeast of Lovelock, on
the road to Rochester He reported
that the strike had been made Sun
day, revealing free gold and that
Monday after the news of the other
gig strike in Havana, the miners as
sembled and formally named the
camp Willard.
Outside of this the former governor
says the camp looks very promising
and number of good locations have
been taken up. The ore shows free
gold near the surface and there is
something OF rush in that direction.
John Fount and one Opperman are
among those credited with having
particularly fine locations.
The former governor, it is under
stood, acquired some interests in the
new camp.-Journal.

jest. To them it was only another
misguided white man to be added to
Jacks ring record. Then as the
rounds wore on, every trick of the
champion was tried, but ip vain From
the smile of confidence to strained
look of worry was a transition of but
a moment.
At last the ebony Johnson showed
that he realized with the battle he
had reached the turning point of his
career. The face of the wife reflect
ed the feelings OF the fighter. In the
early stages, when Johnson's coni-
dent smile showed only that he was
confident OF victory, she smiled with
him. When the battle went past the
fifteenth round and Willard was baf-
fling the champion, Johnson's smiles
changed to look of seriousness AMI
was reflected in the pale face of the
girl at the ringside.
When she was the wife of the
champion, this white girl was the CEN
ter of attraction. As the wife Cf
plain Jack Johnson, dethroned as the
greatest fighter in the world, she IS
an outcast, subject to ostracism.
These thoughts, knew, ran through
her mind as Willard proved that
Johnson was not the Johnson t
Reno days.

IF THEY COULD SPEAK.

If they could speak, those dumb beasts
as they lie.
On battlefield where war has laid
them low,
What would the horses tell US ere they
die?
What bitthr grief do these mute suf-
ferers know?
They hold no hate at heart for human
kind.
Nor crave they aught, forsooth, but
what they need;
And man has taught them but to love
and mind,
Outlines in servitude to his own
greed.
Not glory lures them to the battlefield
Nor foolish pride that rails at fancied
wrong;
They are but thoughtless beast and can
but yield
The while they feel the letters OF the
throng.
But then, methinks, those eyes so filled
with pain.
Ere yet the glaze of death has rob
bed their sight.
Have known full well how hellish and
how vain
That carnage is an argument for
right.
Green meadows would they call the
fields of glory,
And brave ones those who help make
strong the weak,
And love and service then would be the
story
OF those dumb beasts, / they could
only speak.

THE TOMB OF NANCY HANKS

Half way between Jerusalem and
Bethlehem, at the side of the road, stands
the tomb of Rachel. Here pious jew
and pious Moslem meet upon neutral
ground. the Jew uneoyering his head,
the Moslem removing his sandals, each
as ernest as the other in expressing his
generation. So il will be with turfmea
at the tomb of Nancy Hanks on Ham
burg Place. where she was sheltered,
fed and honored during her declining
years by J. Z. Madden. The turfman
whose creed celebrates the virtues of
the thoroughbred will be as ready to
make a pilgrimage to the tomb of the
great trotting mare as will be the man
who stakes his faith upon and centers
his affections in the trotter.
There is a good deal of sentiment
among lovers of fast horses. Now and
again when a crusade against the
gambling and gamblers at the race
track is in full swing turfmen are
pictured as gamblers who utilize hor-
SEES as devices and whose only interest
in improving the breed is improving
the speed for purely sordid ends. The
