SULLIVAN IS INSULTED

BUT JEFFRIES DENIES THAT HE BLAMES CORBETT FOR THIS AFFRONTTHE WHITE CHAMPION CALLS JOHN L. A FOOL. Reno, Nev., June 25. If Jack Johnson 1b a superstitious negro he may regard with apprehension certain peculiar facts connected with hla arrival In Reno. When Jack left San Francisco Thursday night it was an undertaker who said the final words to the champion to speed fhlm on his journey. Twenty-three was the date of his departure. Early Friday morning In the snowsbeds ' near Truckee, Johnson's train was delayed three hours by a freight car derailment in tunnel 13. When the champion finally detrained Mn Reno It was just thirteen minutes past 1 o'clock, three hours after 1 a. m., the hour set for his arrival and which figures make thirteen. To round out the combination he settled in his training quarters at Ricks Roadbouse on a Friday and the cook Ignored a yard full of chickens tad prepared a fish dinner for him. Laughs at Sign. Johnson's attention was called to the ominous combination but he laughed and declared It Indicated only that he would defeat Jeffries in thirteen rounds. "I hope that cook don't make another mistake though." said Jack. Then as an afterthought: "I guess that was an the hoodoo business was about." Jim Jeffries denies that he placed all the . blam for the affront given John Sullivan on Jim Corbett. A statement to this effect was made last SMsWWt m Am a finlllvan'a a r m I rAisi ASrB IS .7 vuv vs. umitTou a nvituiiviih Here Is Jeffries' version of what he I did say during the course of a conversation with Muldoon: , "I am sorry- it happened." said Jeffries, "and yet I'm glad. Sullivan has a lot of friends and la a pretty good sort of a fellow, but he ought to have kept his mouth shut. ' "He has surely made a fool out of himself, going around calling this fight a fake. .It makes me sore to hear certain fellows running around all the time yelling 'fake, fake!' That is just the thing that Is putting the game on the bum and it is bad enough as it is. Ignorant of Row. T didn't know ariythlng about the row at the front gate until it was all over. I am sorry it had to happen that way but I guess it had to. If 8ullivan has been calling this fight a fake he certainly had a good roast coming to him and I don't know who could do it any better than Corbett." Both Jeffries and Johnson are now thoroughly established In their training quarters. . From the viewpoint of privacy, the negro has much the best of it as his quarters are more difficult .to reach on account of the bad roads and limited transportation facilities. '.. Jeffries, on the contrary, is within access to the city and it is Impossible for him to work without at tracting a large crowd, a thing which all hands admit is a handicap to the big fellow. Johnson has decided to take only a limited amount of road work until ha assures himself that he will not be seriously affected by the altitude. Boxing the Limit. "Boxing and gymnasium . work for the next two or three days will be his limit," declared Flanagan. ."He may go out for 'short spins on the road, but no heavy work at present". Jeffries handlers are also insistent that he- cut out road work , and con fine .himself almost exclusively to boxing. Jeffries has promised he will do so, but there is more than a chance ha will change his mind. Tex Richard lnslsti he will referee the fight "I wachoBen as a com promise candidate," said he, "and both fighters agreed upon me. That is good enough and you can say for me that I'm going to serve." Betting on the fight is practically at a standstill. There is plenty of money In sight, however, and it is believed that just as soon as' the sport have sized up the fighters un der the changed conditions, there will be a boom in the financial market WILL PLAY GIANTS The fast Garfield baseball team of Dayton which has been seen here several times will play the Giants tomor row afternoon at Athletic park, the gam to be called at 3 o'clock.

TONIC FOR SPORTS Will Be Ladled out by Ketchell and Wiggan to Limit of Indiana Laws. MUCH GINGER: NO GORE Training still goes on at the Ketchell (Charley, cousin of Stan) headquarters at Hawkin's Springs, and the big fight is now less than a week off. Following thirty to forty miles of road work and a cool dip in the spring, Charley said this morning that he hopes to tip the beam at 158 on the eve of the scrap and do all for Kid Wiggam that the law will allow. The manager and assistant manager and sparring partner here, excused himself to take a drink he is rot training and Charley told why Stanley is not the only "Ketch" in the fighting game. Assurance is given that the mill will be on the square and purely exhibition in nature. However, of course, if this were not Indiana, and Mr. Wiggam would consent to step down on the river bank for a few seconds, there might be a but that is out of the question. ACT Oil COAL BIDS Harsh Company and Mather Brothers Land Contracts Awarded Today. INCREASED PRICES PAID Contracts for coal for the court house and county jail were awarded by the county commissioners this morning. Only two bids were submitted on each contract, the A. Harsh Coal and Supply company getting the contract for furnishing 500 tons, more or less, of Pocohontas mine run for $3.05 prior to September 1, and for $3.12 after that date. Mather Broa. were awarded the contract for supplying 50 tons of Pocohontas mine run coal at $ 3.65 per ton before September 10 and for 34 after that date. The county did not do as well this year as last in the purchase of coal. The contracts made last year called for an expenditure of $2.774 per ton for coal of the same quality. The cause for the increase is do to higher prices charged by the operators. The bid which Harsh and Company made had a qualifying clause which stated that the price would te increased or reduced proportionately to the Increase or decrease of freight rates. The contract may not be closed because of this as the specifications called for flat rates. Mr. Harsh seems willing to take out this qualifying clause. He said that the only reason it was added was because the railroad companies were threatening to raise the freight rates from $1.60 per ton to $1.62. The bid submitted by Mather Bros, for the court house contract was a flat rate of $3.22. Harsh and Company's bid for the jail contract was $3.75 before September 1 and $4 after that time.

AN INGENIOUS INVENTION

DEVICE WILL CONFER MORE AOVANTAGES ON THE HUMAN FAMILY THAN PHONOGRAPH TRAIN CALLER TO GO. Chicago, 111., June 25. No longer , will guests In hotels be annoyed by the rasping voices of bell boys shouting the names of those who are wanted at the telephone or the desks, no longer will travelers bo in doubt a.3 to trains the announcer is brawling out for their benefit, and no longer will persons in a large auditorium be , , . , . , how far away from the stage they are ; suung, ior an auioamuc en nciaior . . . , , , nas oeen perieciea wnereoy a person , , , . . ! ephone In an ordinary tone of voice may be heard in every part of the building simultaneously. President Joseph Harris of the Automatic Elec trie company, who is testing the ne Invention, declared yesterday that a person talking in New York micht be heard by millions of people in Chicago clearly and distinctly. The invention has been installed in Mr. Harris' office, which is situated on the third floor, and the mouthpiece of the instrument has been placed on the fifth floor in each corner of the large office, near the ceiling is a small enunciating trumpet similar to the horn of a granhonhone. Voice Distinctly Heard. Speaking in the mouthpiece in a low

quiet tone the words ctwld be dis-iJAFT SENDS A tinctly heard in ev ." ccrner of the! office, and, what was most remarkable j "

but one trumpet cov.ld be heard at the i same time. There was no overlap- j ping or reveroerp.uon oi tne sound to confuse the hearer,, and even when standing half way between two of the instruments only one of them could be heard. As one moved about the room the voice could be distinctly heard first in one trumpet and then in another. When the enunciator is installed in hotels, a person may be located instantly in anv part of the building, and the bell boy system of paging will become unnecessary. A woman shopping in a large department store may be located by he husband immediately. A person witnessing a ball game, may, by speaking into the mouthpiece, transmit a graphic verbal description of e "ery play that is made to fifty five-cent theaters at the same time. In large depots where the announcer's voice is oftentimes indistinct because of the echo, instruments stationed in every part of the station will adequately inform travelers of the departure of all trains. New Company Ready. The new company which is being formed to push the invention will be known as the Automatic Enunciator company, and Mr. Harris announced yesterday that machines would be on sale in less than thirty days. Already several hotels In the cource of construction have made arrangements for the installation of the new device. A circuit of wires from Chicago to Pittsburg and back has been successfully tested to prove the distance at which the machine Is available. Mr. Cole, who is taking care of the business end of the new concern, said yesterday that every day he finds new uses to which the machine can be put, and said that a manager of a large dance hall had already announced that he would install them to call out the figures.

MESSAGE IN WHICH HE ROASTS CONGRESSMEN FOR EXTRAVAGANT APPROPRIATIONS IN TWO BILLS WHICH HE SIGNED. (American News Service.) Washington, June 25. Congress will adjourn this afternoon. An agreement was reached this morning by the house and senate to conclude the present ses sion as early in the day as possible. President Taft signed the rivers and harbors bill, carrying fifty-three millions in appropriations, and the public building bill carrying twenty-two million. Later under protest he sent a message to congress in which he warned the legislators that unless there is a change in the manner of forming bills of this character they will be vetoed by him. His chief objection is the large number of projects appro priated for and uneconomical methods. The senate today adopted the reso lution offered by Gore that no con tracts relating to thejsale of Indian land in Oklahoma be approved pending the report of the senate committee on Indian affairs, which is to investi gate the same. The house adopted the conference re port on the McCall campaign publicity bill which now goes to the president. PERMIT FOR FACTORY. A building permit was issued yester day by the city controller to the Richmond Underwear company for the erection of their new factory building onrXorth, Tenth n street. The cost of the plant was stipulated in the permit as approximately $40,000 and the work is to be finished within ninety days. FALLS INTO CISTERN. Yesterday, the hottest day of the summer, Mrs. Fred Pardell, of North Sixteenth street, fell into a cistern, but fortunately was only slightly injured. She stepped upon the lid, which tilted, dropping her into the depths below. She was rescued by members of the family. The venerable earl of Wemyss, who was present at King Edward's funera was alive when George III was on the throne and has, therefore, lived under no fewer than six British monarchs In spite of his ninety-two years he still envinces a lively interest in politics. while physically he is one of the most active nonagenarians of his time. He still occasionally drives his own moto car, the mechanism of which he has thoroughly mastered. It is related that one day when out driving something happened to the motor which the earle's chauffeur could not remedy Springing lightly out, the veteran peer crept under the car and quickly put the mechanism in order. When he was ninety Lord Wemyss was attending the house of lords fairly regularly. He has sat in parliament for sixty-seven years continuously, save for an interval of six months. A Life Amusement. Threeear-old Loren was pulling baby's pink toes for amusement. Papa, who was holding baby said. "Be careful, son, you might pull his toes off." To which Lores replied. Oh, no, daddy, they won't come off; they's got nails in 'em. Delineator. A REWARD.

Tv. .i. ... . .. , The wreck was due to a waterspout which had undermined the tracks. The tnUn was traveling at the speed of fifty miles an hour through the darkness when the headlight revealed to the engineer the fact that the train could not pass. He set the emergency brakes and leaped with his fireman. Both were hurt. The engine, baggage car and two coaches plunged into the ditch, the engine turning turtle. Luckily, the Pullmans remained upright or the list of injuries would have been much heavier. The two coaches were shattered and the passengers were plunged into a fighting mass of men, women and chil dren as they toppled over. Physicians and nurses from Percy cared for the injured as well as possible until the arrival of the train which was immediately summoned to bring the injured to Des Moines.

cARHART IS REMEMBERED

DIRECTOR OF THE AFFAIR WAS GIVEN A SUBSTANTIAL CASH OFFERING GOLD WATCH FOR MISS HASEMEIER. With the exception of the claim of Soloist Ilersh of Cincinnati, all accounts against the May Musical Festival, which was given at the Coliseum under the auspices of the Commercial club, have befn paid. The directors of the club met yesterday afternoon and accepted the report of the executive committee of the festival and afterwards discharged it The executive committee turned over fiWO to the club. Out of this the directors made some . appropriations, one for the purchase of !'',. ., ... - Elizabeth Hasemeier. the accomplished pianist who was of so much assistance to the two choruses, orchestra and soloist. The other was a cash amount paid to Prof. Will Earhart for directing the work. Both well -de-, served the remembrances of the club directors, although neither had expected any remuneration, having given their time and attention because of their interest in the affair. The demand for salary by Soloist Hersh is equal to that which was to have been paid to Soloist Miles for whom he substituted when Miles found I it impossible to appear here. The di rectors do not believe that Hersh is entitled to the amount of his demand and it is probable a satisfactory com- ; i" " - total amount of revenue -as j Y- r9d 'l? ?L mission tickets. The balance which is ! 1 ...111 K - n A left in the club treasury will be set ' aside as an appropriation for musical festivals to be given in the future. The club Is very well pleased with the assistance it was given by the public. Letters of thanks have been extended to each person who assisted in the affair.
