 E Willard was in no shape when he arrived here, and he hasn't done any thing that would get him into real condition since To make this state- ment quite clear. let me say that z do not mean that his outward appear ance hasn't tmproved-it has--nor that he hasn't taken off some weight, for he has that also, but that isu't the condition wnrcn is meant when discussed by athletic handlers of men, who realize what shape is necessary to weather 12 rounds of hard fighting under a midsummers sun.
 Willard admittedly weighed in the neighborhood of 290 pounds while on the coast. According to advices frcm there, he started in training before his departure for the scene of battle. We also know that he was engaged Tn a moving picture stunt at the same time The hours for taking pictures are the, hours for training, and belng e tired after posing for the camera Jess didn't do any training before he left --sueh is my information.

The day he was supposed
 to have worked out with the pull

The meat packers were charged by

said. for the purpose of controlling
prices As used by the packers it pre-
serves in seasons of plenty and per-
mits them to withhold such large
quantities of food stuffs from the
market as TO make a season of scarcity
at any time they see fit, and thus they

CHASED TWO NEGROES
Alley Fugitives Caught by Officers
This Morning.


Citizens living between Fourth and
Fifth streets on Topeka avenue were
today treated with a sensational po-
lice chase which would rival a scene
from the most dramatic Of the movies.
Three negroes were riding on a
Rock Island train and were told to
get off by the conductor They re-
fused. The conductor wired ahead to
custody here. Sergeant Long and the
driver of the police car went TO the
Rock Island depot to make the arrest.
When the negroes left the train here
they broke and ran. One of them was
caught after a very short chase.
But the other two furnished plenty
of excitement They ran west and
north and came within gun range of
the pursuing officers near the alley
east of Topeka avenue on Fourth
street. The officers began to fire. and
the negroes began to lengthen their
stride to an appreciate extent.
But the firing had attracted the at
tention of Bert Larimer, deputy sher-
if, who lives near the corner of Fifth
and Topeka avenue. He had just come
down stairs from his bedroom and had
laid his gun on a table He was put
ting a collar button in his shirt Hear

window and saw two big negroes hot

WILL EXPLAIN IT
Speakers Here To Talk on
Plumb Railroad Plan.
Shopmen VIII Hear Them Tall
Tonight.

The Glenn Plumb plan for the gov
eminent ownership of railroads will
be explained in detail tonight at a
mass meeting in the city auditorium
by c. G. Birmingham and Charles
Kelly. field representatives of the
Plumb Plan league. Both men are
from Washington. Practically the
whole membership of the santa Fe
shop federation here is expected to be
present.
Birmingham today pointed out that
the war had revealed to the unions of
the country the fact that their ma
chinery had become obsolete and re-
fused to function. as has been the case
with the average pre-war institution.
he declared that the time had arrived
when solution must be found for the
greatest problem the country has ever
taced-the operation0of the railroads.
a remedy, Furthermore. must be found
Tor the increase In wages and the de-
crease in the purchasing power Of the
dollar.
Purchase of Roads.
The Plumb plan calls for the pur-
chase OF the railroads by the govern
ment at fair valuation with money to
be raised by floating per cent bonds.
1t is estimated that In fifty years every
cent OF capital Will he retired and the
railroads operated for the mere cost
OF maintenance. He declared II IN
fair to compare the government con-
troll OF the roads during the war by
the pre-war standards. He pointed
out that when America declared war
on Germany the people put forth
every effort to win at no matter what
expense. It was the same with the
railroads, Birmingham declared. No
thought OF economy entered into their
operation. II was a case Of win the
war and win now.
He expressed the belief that with

nut away, that the roads could be
operated at less cost, resulting IN
