8am Lant ford, the negro pugilist on whom man look as tbo moat likely
candidate to wren the heaTyweight championship from Jack Johnson. Is known br th. pollc. of this city, but not In th. tin way that th. more
Ulustrous Johnson Is known to the
officers of the larger cities.
When the Wayne county fairs were held In the eastern portion of the city several years ago, Langford waa one
of the MTeral toughs who were axrested on suspicion. Officer Bandy made the arrest and experienced no
difficulty In handling the pugilist
Nothing was proven against Langford and he was allowed to leave the city
without prosecution.
Langford, according to press dispatches, has posted a forfeit of $20,000 asking Johnson to acre, to terms for
a finish flaht for the championship.
He Issued his challenge on July 4 immediately after Jeffries had received one of the severest gruelllngs which
was ever administered In the prize
ring. The sporting world declares
that Langford and Tommy Burns are
the only pugilists who can give- Johneon a good fight

Into the Plum Island river and was pinned beneath the engine of his Bur
gess biplane while making a flight ov
er the Plum Island course today, he had attained an altitude of 75 feet when his machine suddenly shot downward like a bullet Pfltzner was
pinned beneath the machine for sev
eral minutes. Spectators and employes
at the aerodrome who had been watch-
ng bis flight believed that he certainy would be drowned. People hurried
to his assistance but they were compelled to run two miles across the marshes of Plum Island. .
Finally Pfltzner was Been to crawl
from beneath the machine, upon the bank and there collapse. When assistance reached him he was sufficiently
recovered so that with assistance he was taken to the aerodrome to have
his wounds dressed.

recently cancelled because of his operating an aeroplane.
OFFICIALS ARE CONFRONTED WITH
SERIOUS PROBLEM
(Continued from Page One.)
Ion alone the retrenchment will amount to about $117,000 a, year. Mr.
MacVeagb not only tblnka that the resultant economies are aa Important Improvement but adds that the expe
dition and accuracy of the audit sys
tem which baa been effected, especially In the money branch of the postoBce department is a step in the
light direction. Much Time Gained.
Under the old system of auditing money order accounts, which has
been followed for a great many years,
nine months were required to make a
flnal settlement of a postmaster's mon
ey order account, but by the use of adding machines. It ts said, the time of making the audit will be reduced to four months. The audit was formerly made by visual comparison and with great liability of error, but under the new system with the aid of mechanical
devlees the audita will be absolutely
correct
In the office of the auditor there are received between MO and 000 pounds of money order dally. This means that It la necessary for the office force to compare la the neighborhood of $200,000 In money orders daily with
the statements rendered by the post
masters throughout the entire country.
Under the old system of visual check,
It was discovered by the "reorganisa
tion committee which have effected the various changes throughout the
treasury department, that thousands of those money orders were being
checked as having been received in
the office properly drawn when as
matter of fact, they had never reach
ed the auditor's office. By the use of the adding machines which have been Installed, each money order is now
entered separately on the machine
and It Is Impossible for an order to
be checked unless it la already on file,
Another Improvement effected In
this office Is In the bookkeeping de
partment The accounts of the postal
service were formerly kept on the sin
gle entry basis, and no adequate sys
tern of control by means of aggre
gates were provided. After a thor
ough investigation it was found thit In some classes of accounts as high
aa 35 per cent of the postmaster's errors were passed In the audit without detection. A complete system of double entry bookkeeping has now been Installed, and controlling and clear ance accounts provided in order to
establish the correctness of detailed
accounts In the booka of original en
try.
Notwithstanding these Innovations,
Secretary MacVeagb. baa seen to t
that none of the employes displaced
by the new processes will be perma
nently thrown out of employment All of those temporarily dismissed have
been taken care of In other offices In the treasury department or provided
with places in other departments.

Troops Ordered Out by Col.
Garrard to Protect Negro from Lynching.
FEELING RUNS VERY HIGH
Washington, July 9. Col. Garrard,
In charge of the post at Fort Meyer,
Va., today ordered that the guard
thrown around the jail In Alexandria county last night to protect Robert Jackson, a negro who severely cut and slashed Private Scott of Battery D, third Held artillery, in a fracas following the Jeffries-Johnson fight be maintained throughout the day. Fearing a repetition of the Brownsville
case when negro soldiers from a near
by post "shot up'" that town, Col. Garrard threw out a strong force of pick
ets around' the military barracks to
prevent the departure of soldiers who
threatened to lynch the negro and keye to the gun racks and ammunition
rooms were taken away from the non
commissioned officers.
Owing to the precautions taken by
the post commander, no trouble developed last night, although, soldier friends of Scott demanded revenge when they learned that Scott was in a started In the case of Thursday night
when a body of soldiers appeared before the Jail and demanded Jackson. Subterfuge on the part of the sheriff
prevented the soldiers from storming
the Jail. They were told that Jackeon
had been removed.
Reports today from the post hospi
tal are to the effect that Scott's condition is somewhat Improved but still critical. The surgeons have asked that members of his family be sum
moned from Johnstown, Pa.
New York, July 9. Unique action
was taken today by the leaders of the
Cloak Makers' strike, in which 70,000 men and women are Involved, when
they voluntarily called off a great mass meeting which had been arranged for this afternoon in Union Square.
They declared the fear of possible
trouble to be the cause.
"We are going to make this a model strike," said Abraham Rosenberg, president of the union. It bad been estimated that between 40,000 and 50,000 persons would attend the meeting. The publicity committee of the union today denied that a loan of $100,000 from bankers was being sought, the committeemen declared that the union had ample funds for the fight as well as the support of the American Federation of Labor. Twenty-five manufacturers today made overtures for a settlement. The union leaders have completed a new form of agreement and sent it to the
printer. Not till It is ready, on Mon
day, can a settlement be effected.
When printed the agreements will be sent to the owners of all the 1,350
shops affected.
Ten thousand cloak makers, many
of them women, joined the strike today. They obeyed the call of the un
ion at the close of their contract week,

AGGRIEVED BOTCHERS
Demanding Justice Thought
They Were Being Badly Abused, When
SUDDENLY THEY "WOKE UP"
Dr. T. Henry Davis of the state
board of health tells an amusing story
of an encounter with the butchers of
Indianapolis at a meeting of the board Friday. The butchers swooped down
on the doctors demanding aa imme
diate change in the rules governing the sale of meats. The butchers
thought the board had formulated a
rule requiring all meats to be placed
in glass cases. The members of the
board listened until the butchers had exhausted all the atmosphere in the room and then quietly told them that the rule In question had feeen passed
by the city health department of Indianapolis. The state board had never considered the rule.
The butchers brushed the war paint
from their faces and retired from the
room as gracefully as the humor of
the situation would permit.
