Vlitlt' WVWIJTT" - I MEDFORD UMV TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREqONMONpAY, JULY 4t 1030. i I FAFT SPENDS our in bosion BOSTON, Mass., July 4. Presi dent Taft was an Itlnornnt celcbra tar of tlio glorious Fourth today. A review ot threo parades la dtf- foront cities, participation In thu Dostoulan "Safo and Sauo" observ ance of tho Independence Day, and as a finale an address to tho dele gates to tho National Educational As sociation convention at tho Harvard Stadium was on his program. Tho President loft Beverly at S:30 a. m. yesterday In his automobile; at 9 a. m. ho was at Everett, Mass., and there reviewed a pmnde of chil dren. Half aa hour later Somer vlllo welcomed tho chief executive, whllo ho reviewed a military and civic parade. Taft was then joined by Governor Draper and his staff. At Harvard Brldgo Mayor Fitzger ald of Boston was waiting. Through streets crowded with en thusiastic Bostonlans, tho President was whlaked to Charles Street, and there rovlowed his third parado. The Booton City Club next claimed him as Its guest. He had luncheon nt the home of President Lowell ot Harvard. Late in tho r.tternoon camo tho address of the President to the National Association In the Harvard Stadium. DIVORCEE COLONY (Continued from Papti 1.) JEFF COOL. (Con tinned from Page 1.) front of the training quarters, went Into his cottage and stayed thore, bolng in bed and sleep before nine o'clock. Expects Punishment. It has been the opinion ot thoso who h&vo seon both men work and Jeffries himself has admitted as much to close friends that whatever the final result ot the battle the white man is duo to receive a lot ot pun ishment In the early rounds. Sharkey hit him hard and often, Fltzsimmons and Corbett did tho same. No one has arisen to dispute the cleverness of Johnson; and Jeffries, least ot all, has not blinded himself to the clev erness of the man whom ho expects to conquer, but If he winks at the thought of having his face bruised in uplto ot the pickling solution he has been using ou It for several weeks past, he gave no outward olgn of It. Today be Is as unconcerned as though today's program called for a fishing expedition, instead of a contest which means either e. pedestal inscribed "Undefeated Champion" In Flstlana's hall of famo or oblivion In tho dis card ot broken Idols. Slept Soundly Last Night. According to tho faithful Farmer Burns, who has been Jeffries' own Swiss guard, the big fellow was sound asleep within ten minutes after he had retired. Whllo. ho slumbered and wholly unbeknown to him, Jeffries and his entire training camp was pa trolled by a gtard of trusted retain ers, to Intercept any fanatic who might bavo sought' to Injure the sleeper. Even boforo tho champion awoke a party of his handlers wero speeding toward the arena at Reno to put the quarters In shape and get In readiness all paraphernalia which will be used In tho ring corner. Jeffries was In high spirits after oreaKiasi, apparently giving no thought to tho afternoon's contest. Ho joked with a number of close friends, but religiously refrained from discussing tho fight. tho ring was adjusted to the satis faction ot tho Jeffries crowd by stretching tho red canvas on which Jeffries had done most ot his box ing during hla training. How Over Picture Stand. Tho first row developed when $40 and $45 ticket holders discovered that directly Lbovo and over tholr seats a moving picture stand had been erected, the stand cutting off all view from at least GOO peoplo who became enraged when the manage ment gave them no satisfaction and threatened to tear .the structure down. To prevent violence, a spe cial guard was placed around the stand and Ulckard started In senrch of Qleason, who Is reported to havo given permission for tho erection of the stand. Among the celebrities to arrlvo early wero Nat Goodwin, Bat Mns- terson, Billy Muldoon, John L. Sul llvau, Jack McAullffe, Abo Attell, Eddie Graney. Hugh Mcintosh. Tommy Burns. "Big Tim" Sullivan, Harry H. Hicks, Jeff Heard. Bill Lang, Bob Fltzsimmons, Frank Fo garty, the monologlst, Battling Nel son, Andy Craig, tho Chicago sport ing man, Lou Houseman, Sam Lang ford and many others. Picture Stand Removed. Shortly beforo 1 o'clock a band en tered; the ring and aroused Intense enthusiasm by playing "America and "Dixie." The great crowd stood up and waved small American flags. All persons approaching the gates carrying bottles or suspicious pack ages were stopped and not allowed to enter until after dlschardlng them. The angry protest of those whoso view was obstructed by the moving picture stand had Its effect, a squad ot deputies being detailed to tear It down. When tho first pleco of timber yielded to the blows of a ham mer, a cheor went up. At 1:05 Tex Rlckard announced that there were 50.000 peoplo out side clamoring for admission. Rlck ard stated that room could not bo found for all ot them. At 1:15 p. in. the band left tho ring to give the picture man an op portunity to photograph tho crowd. BETTING 10 TO 6 (Continued from Page 1.1 FIGHTERS LATE IN APPEARING (Continued from Page 1.) Instead of 1101,000, each man hav ing been given a $10,000 bonus. He also stated that the purse of $101,000 after each man bad paid and $10,000 would bo split 80 per cent to wlaner and 40 per cent to tho loser. The original articles of agreemont call for a 76 and 52 split, but a fow days ago the fighters agreed to tho CO and 40 per cent division. At 1:35 Rlckard sent ward to the fighters dressing rooms asking them to como to tho ring at once. The houso, it la said, amounts to $250,-000. Rock Springs Coal. Two hundred tons of Rock Springs coal has been nlroady ordered by Bedford people thoso peoplo were "wise; thoy will have warm homes this 'winter. There is still timo to order '' the 'coal at the present price. See V. J. Burbridgo, the drnymun, ut " phono him you will want some jf tliis coul nnd to got it you must or u"9r now. There is no better coul In tho west. Got busy, price will udvnnco soon. 05 Medford, Oregen: This certifies 1 that wo faqye sold Hall's Texas Won ..der for tho core of nil kidney, blad der uud rhoumatio troubles for ten year's, and havo novor had a oom plaint. It givos quick and pormanent relief. Sixty days treatment in each bottle, Mudford Phannaoy. tf fighting game have journeyed over land and sea to tho undressed lum ber shrine of the great god Wallop, which, reared on a sage brush plain, a mile and a half outside tho city, will this 'afternoon be the scene of what promises to be the greatest battle between two human beings that the world has seen since Chris tianity drove the gladiators from the Roman forum, and gun powder dis armed the armored knights of the halcyon days of chivalry. Big Purso Fought For. A purse of $101,000, or the win ner's 75 per cent of It, thousands of dollars In moving plcturo bonuses and the honors of heading the world's list of physically mighty men is the lure which sends tho two modern gladiators at each other. Contrary to general expectations, the shortening of the odds this morn ing failed to materialize and unless tho Johnson money appears before noon there may be a lengthening. When Tim Corbett's pool room opened this morning tho price was 10 to 6. Even money was offered that Jeffries does or does not win InBlde of twenty rounds. Tho lat ter proposition seemed to meet with more favor than the general result betting, It being figured that Jef fries' chance of winning would be minimized if tho battle went beyond twenty rounds, but that up to that period he would be the most logical candidate for victory. Betting on Results. Two good Johnson bets wero re corded this morning, ono being $700 to $1,000 and tho other $075 to $1,000. Andy Craig of Chicago, who re cently bet $10,000 to $0,500 qn Jef fries Is hero with an additional $20,- 000, but has not been ablo to place much of it. Tho day opened bright and cool, but tho prospects are it will bo a hot afternoon and that tho fighters and spectators seated below tho level of tho entrances will suffor consider ably. Tho twolvo physicians appointed to take caro of any who may suc cumb to tho heat or bo affected by excitement whllo in tho arena will bo ready for duty by noon. Every Scut Sold. Every soat In tho arena had been Bold by midnight. Tho gato will probably net $250,000. All through tho night special trains arrived from tho East and West. Tho betting was given a now anglo whon Johnson bettors offered $25 to $100 that tho negro would win ln Bldo of nineteen rounds, but found Soveral trains duo to arrlvo soon are reported late and scores of fans may arrlvo too lato to witness tho opening of tho fight. i BOOTH LEE DROPS DEAD Uofilh Lee, of Contra I Point, died nn his way to the oolohrntioun nl Jacksonville ut noon Monday nlhoiu or.iire of the lungs.

Within a few iniiiu Its after :lihtiiur from the ear, Mr. Lee was d'ad, be for plijsieians who had been called could reach him.

JOHNSON IS HAPPY (Continued from Pnw 1.) and from his antics ono would hnvo thought that he was preparing to start on a picnic. Whatever his son tlmcnts tonight, thcro was no ques tion nbout It that today broko as tho most longed-for In tho life of the dusky champion. Whatuvor exports and critics may think, thoro Is not tho shadow of doubt but that In John son's mind the thought of defeat was entirely eliminated. As was to be expected In a camp full of colored men, Rick's this morn ing was all bustle and excitement. Everyone was nt fever heat except tho champion, who lolled back In a big chair with Imperial dignity nnd ease-, and enjoyed ovory movo of tho sceno of which ho was tho contor. Shortly after rising he Indulged In a little light oxercUo nnd had a rub, after which ho declared that ho felt In perfect shape. Shows Himself Off. Yesterday was a gala day, for Jack. His good nature and his willingness to bathe in tho limelight caused his camp to be the Mecca of thousands of fight fans of both sexes nnd for several hours Johnson remained In view of all who wished to havo a look. Whatever else may bo said of Johnson there is no denying that ho Is surcharged with that unfailing good nature and chronic optimism which has come to be most closely associat ed with the old timo Southern darkles. Late In tho afternoon, after tho camera men and moving picture peo ple had their final shot at him, John son retired to his quarters and a guard was thrown about tho place to keep away all but tho small coterie of close friends who had elected to spend "tho night beforo the battle" with tho dusky champion. Promises Sensation. This morning Billy Dolany took Johnson for a half hour's secret In terview and final review of tho plan of the fight. Johnson has all along promised a sensation for thoso who havo been expecting him to run away from the big grizzly's rushes and It would not surprise mo In tho least wero ho to carry tho fight to Jeffries after he has had a couplo of rounds to test out Jim's attack. Jack has supremo confidence, iu his ability to avoid and block Jcffrlec' swings, and MEDF0RD CONTINGENCE (Continued from l'ligoj Men up. Mnybo Beach will favor us. And so on down tho list. Jeff to datu has Invited some 9Ul celebrities and Is working on another ono now. By tho way tho Medford bunch Is on tho water wagon today. Not that tlfo bars nro cloned, but you couldn't got within 40 foot of n bar lot nlono get nn order filled. This placo Is Jammed to tho guard rail.

Tho Novnda stnto police, an admirable body of men by tho wny, has succeeded In hooping perfect order, and the crowd Is In n Mlondld humor. Two hours more will toll tho tale. Then wo can get out of this country which Is an admirable placo to hold prize fights ns It Is no good for any thing olso. Thoro was n great reunion In Reno this morning when the final members of the Medford contingent drifted In. Some of the boys arrived In tho city Saturday and some not until this morning. As 60011 ns a now arrival from tho lloguo River metropolis was seen ho wns Joyfully dragged over to Headquarters and told all about It. Wo are nil hero now nnd v 111 celebrajo together for a fow hours when, wo will start homeward. Some ot tho boys nro going to Frisco and others further south. It soeins that the whole world nnd his brother nro hero today. I hnve already met old time friends whom I have not seon In years. From all corners of tho world they hnvo como just to seo the big doings which nro scheduled to start shortly. Reno has become for n day tho clearing houso of tho world. If the big fight proves to ho worth tho admission foe nil will go homo satisfied. As for myself I feel re patd for what tlmo and expenso I nm out Just to ho a part of today's crowd and to rub elbows with a typical western hunch. Every na tionality on earth seems to ho hero and there aro celebrities without end. Reno Is at tho top notch of her ladder of fame today and she scouts to realize It. She Is having ono great glorious celebration of tho Fourth. Tho crowd hns greatly overtaxed uc- commodntlons, but as Jeff says, wo can stop in Ashland on our wny home and get a long sleep. The boys have asked mo to give tho folks at homo tholr kindest re gards: From Medford registered at headquarters aro Jefferson I). Heard, Mose Barkdull, Leon B. Hasklns, Charles Young, Russell II.

At tho conclusion of his confer ence with Dolanoy It wns announced that tho lattor would bo In charge of tho champion's corner and that ho would be assisted by Burns, Fu roy, Slg Hart, Al Kaufman and Stan ley Kotchol, tho lattor holding tho watch. A party of Johnson's handlers left Rick's, resort early this morning to prepare tho arena dressing rooms. Each man has boon coached In tho work he will do during tho fight and most of tho men havo boon with him In othor battles, thero is theroforo llttlo need of drilling them. "I don't oxpoct this fight -will be a pretty ono to watch. It Is bound to bo full of clinching, because It Is in tho clinches that Joffrles docs his most deadly work. By tho eamo token It Is whllo going Into and dur ing breaking from a clinch that John son Is most Huhlo to land tho punch upon which ho countB to bring homo tho money."
