Jess Willard and Frank Moran. Such
action was the only thing expected,
as the fight is being held according
to the New York laws, and there is
no reason for legislators to horn in.
If the New York people, the fight
followers, care so little for their coin
that they are willing to put up $25 or
more to see the champion and Moran
mix with each other for half an hour,
that is their own lookout. It may be
our opinion that they need prOtec-
ton, but the legislature isn't the
place to get it.
Chicago s WelI-knoWn psychopath-
&c laboratory could do a thriving
business, however.
And we are assured by New York
correspondent that Willard is in fine
shape, for some trainers have looked
him over and pronounced a verdict.
They say Jess looks fit to fight right
now.
Just what the champions condi-
ton is will not be known until end
of the tenth round. If he is right he
should be able to keep Moran off, if
nothing else. But if he is not right
the Pittsburgh man will drive
through his defense and put home
many blows that will make them
selves felt.
Lots of space is being wasted in
serious consideration of this fight,
and it doesn't deserve it. However,
there is a bit of humOr surrounding
the preliminaries Tom Jones pulled
a brand new joke when he informed
New Workers that he wasn't a tight
guy he had been painted, and would
rather have Jess train in private than
before a crowd of two-bit customers.
While Jess is defending the heavy
weight championship, it might be a
good card if Tom would declare him
self lightweight" champion, and
meet all corners.

Manager Rowland started the
South Siders off with a hard drill be-
fore they had been off the train two
hours, and he plans to drive the men
every day. Eddie Collins, Ray Schalk
and Buck Weaver, being down to
weight, will be allowed to do the pre-.
liminary work in their own way, but
for the other fellows there will be
lots of exercise to work off surplus
poundage.
The most encouraging feature of
the SOx news is that Reb Russell,

Texan has come to regard baseball
seriously as a means of earning a liv-

American league.
Red, right, is as good a southpaW

MELVILLE'S COMEDIANS.

Melville's Comedians will present at the Big Tent on Tuesday night the drama, "In the Eyes of the World" It tells a story of heart interest with comedy intermingled with situations of great tenseness.
 A man is killed from ambush by an unknown assassin who also deals a blow to the hero which renders him unconscious. He is found near the dead man and is charged with killing him. He is convicted on circumstan- tial evidence and is sent to the peni, tentiary. He escapes but is recap tured. In some states convicts can be released to individuals as was the case when John l.. Sullivan, the great prize fighter, was sentenced to prison in Mississippi for prize fighting and was promptly released by his friends. In this play the governors daughter becomes the lessee of the hero, her father consenting to it for certain political reasons. She is convinced of his innocense but cannot prove it. Eventually a tramp who was wit ness to the killing comes to the front and tells all he knows. The innocent hero is pardoned and all ends happily for the lovers.
 There will be vaudeville between acts. this being a feature of the Mel vile shows and one which has been most favorably commented upon by the newspaper critics.

RAVEN IMPORTED FROM
 CANADA FOR USE IN PLAY

The success of Essanay's six-act feature, "The Raven," from George c. Hazelton's romance of Edgar AL Ian Poe, was not assured until a raven, bird almost extinct in North America, had been obtained.
 For several weeks every effort to get one of these rare birds proved futile, but finally Charles J. Brabin who is directing the picture got in touch with an old friend living in northern Canada, who captured q raven alive, and sent the bird on it's long journey to Essanay's Chicago studio.
 The cast was then complete, and immediately work was begun on the production. The raven plays it's part admirably. "The Raven" featuring Henry B. Walthall and Warda How ard, will be seen at the Gen Theatre tonight.

HEAVY ANCIENT FORESTS
 IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Fossils have aptly been called the illustrations in the great book re- cording the worlds history, the pages of which are the layers of rock that form the outer part of the crust of the earth By looking at some of these illustrations that represent plants we can restore in imagination the ancient vegetation of parts of the world.
 Fossil plants are very abundant in the Fort Union formation in North Dakota, where they are found in the sandstone. in the harder concretions or lenses, and in the clay between the beds of sandstone. Most of them, es- pecially those in the clay, are pre- served with remarkable fidelity. About 300 species of plants from this for nation have been described, and the total number of species it contains may perhaps reach 800 or more.
 This abundant fossil flora shows that what is now an almost treeless plain was once covered with splendid forests of hardwoods, interspersed with scattered conifers and ginkgos. The presence of numerous and at many places thick beds of Ignite make it clear that in this region there were great swamps, which must have existed with but little change for long periods of time.

THE PRICE OF GASOLINE.

Secretary of the Interior Lane is bt ontimistic as to a decline in the lice of gasoline. In a recent inter lew he calls attention to the fact kat there is no longer a trust on |hich to lay the blame and from |hicb to seek redress. Out of the bmpetition that we now have in place the trust, there has grown the bssbilty of certain rich dealers pur- passing crude oil in such large quan- ties that the supply is reduced for be small dealer. In this connection lr. Lane says Under these con (tons a marke. shortage of crude ] may be developed which is not |hoIy warranted by facts of actual FOduction, yet it no less surely leads higher prices in both crude and kfned products. This furnishes the PpOrtunity to the well-supplied refin-
 s to sell at the highest price gaso- he which is derived from crude oil Prchased at lower market"
