THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 190D.
NELSON IS iT IN
GOOD CONDITION
Dane Seems to Have Acquired
. "the Weight at a
Jump.
MANAGER APPEARS INSANE
Jeffries Arrives in San Francisco and
Says He Will Referee the Go
"With Britt Xext Sat
urday Night.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sopt. 7. (Staff Cor
respondence.) Tbls town is fight-crazy.
On the streets, in the cafes, at the the
aters, in fact no matter -whore you go
there the morits of the Brltt-Nolson fight
is the topic of conversation. Never in the
history of ail the fistic events pulled off
in this place has there ever beon sudh &
discussion pro and con as there is over
the coming Saturday event.
Coupled with the question as to "which
will win Is the question whether Manager
Nolan, Nelson's manager, is Insane. If
you "wore to take a poll of the situation
tonight, the verdict -would be that Nolan
is Insane and instead of being a manager
of a fighter he should be in a stralght-
jaoket and In the insane ward of some
institution for incurables.
Jim Joffrles did not reach here until
after 11 o'clock and up till the time of
his arrival It looked as If Britt and Nelson
-would ontor the ring without a referee.
The b4g ex-bollermaker, brawny and as
indifferent as ever, arrived on the late
train from Los Angeles and declared that
He was here for the purpose of reforeelng
the flght. From the way things look lato
tonight nothing but a crazy act on the
part of Nolan can prevent Jeffries from
officiating Saturday afternoon.
Keeps Back the Betting:.
The squabble over the referee has kept
the betting back and not over $9000 has
been wagered on the event so far. Thero
were a few scattering bets made tonight
at 0 to 10. with Nelson at the short end.
Tb betting angle should not discourage
the Britt followers, for this is due to
countless crazy things which Nolan ha6
done during the last few days.
I was out at the Nelson camp this af
ternoon. Nelson is training at a road
house called Joe Millet's, and if the
crowd there this afternoon is a fair
amie of the crowd that has been fol
lowing the Dane during hie training, he
is sure in bad company. Nelson did not
look the part of a lighter prepared to go
a long route. He Is down to weight, but
he haa the appearance of having reached
that point in a jump.
Larry Sullivan was with me thh after
noon. Sullivan Is a pretty fair judge of
human nature, and after he saw Nelson
go through a few of his ""gym" stunts he
shook his head and declared that the CW
cagoan did not look good. There is noth
ing but consternation in the Ncteon camp,
while from the Britt camp there la noth
ing but confidence.
The Foolishness of Nolan.
There would have been nothing of this
Jeffries quibble but for Nolan. Instead of
Nolan being a manager of a lighter, he
should be tending bar, a calling which I
understand he Is moft fitted for. If some
one tomorrow .should swear out a com
plaint for insanity, he would be convicted
without the aid of an expert jury. A
month ago he declared that Nelson would
light Britt on the utraet. in private or In
public, with or without a referee. Now
he is so suspicious that he would have
the young goslings that run around the
garden of his training quarters arrested
for catching llies.
Mrs. Nolan doos the cooking for Nel
son, and Nolan has gone so far as to
have a scientist tost the food that the
Dane taats, so fearful is he that some
one will drop a bit of poison in Nelson's
broakfast food.
No Side Bet Placed.
All the advance talk of the side bet
of Jl 0,000 is a myth. The bet looked
good In print, but I learned today that
neither of the principals has come
through with the money. In fact, as
late as August the purse was divided
Of and 40. This agreement, although
signed in August, is dated Soptember 8.
This proves more than anything else
that the fight that Nolan is making Just
at this time is merely for the purpose
of "splitting the pot." He may gain
this, but it Is doubtful. W. G. M.
Responds to Voice of People.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 7. Fully .de
termined to referee the Brltt-Nolson con
test .next Saturday. ex-Champion James
J. Jeffries arrived from Los Angeles to
night. "I have accepted the offer of $1000 to
referee the contest between Britt and
Nelson and I will be the third man in
the ring when the men meet and that is
all there Is to it," said Jeffries as he
stepped off the train. "1 understand that
Nolan fears that Nelson will not get a
square deal. But the public has demand
ed that I officiate, knowing full well that
I will .give both sides a square deal. If I
suspect that the least bit of crookedness
is going on I will call the fight off in an
instant."
George Slier, the veteran referee, who
has been spoken of as an umpire in the
event that Jeffries could not be finally
decided, on, arrived from Chicago today,
accompanied by the. father of Battling
Nelaon. They later went to the training
quarters of Nelson, whom they hope will
be the victor dn Saturday's contest. Slier
declared that "he was not anxious to
referee the fight and spoke as though
he would not take the place even if it
wore offered him.
Nolan Declares Against Jeffries.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept- 7. Nelson
has done the hardest sort of work up
within the past day or so, keeping up
his grind, in fact, until yesterday evening
Today he took it somewhat easier. Britt
let up in his extremoly heavy work sev
eral days ago. cutting out all boxing
and his swim in the surf after his daily
-work. Nolan, Nelson's manager, said
this afternoon In regard to the referee:
"If they try to force Jeffries upon uh
there will not be any flght; that's all
thore is to It I've conceded everything
else to the Brltts and I do not intend
to concede this referee matter.
"I am even more determined than be
fore for I have received many telegrams
from friends informing me that the sure
thing men all over the East are trying
to get In bets on Britt. That-looks bad
to me.
"I don't know what was said In that
Delaney telegram to Jeffries which Willie
Britt dictated and which caused the big
fellow so suddenly to abandon his de
mand for $2000. For all I know. It might
ave guaranteed Jeffries ?1000 If he would
come and serve. I intend to stand on
my rights."
Notwithstanding Nolan's stubborn stand
in the matter, no. one thinks at this time
that the flght will be called off.

Turner Outclasses Long:.
'SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Sept 7. "No con
test," was the decision given in the sec
ond round of the fight tonight between
Rufe Turner, of Stockton, and Louie
Long, of Oakland. All bets were de
clared off. Long was so clearly out
classed that his seconds threw up the
sponge when Turner sent him to the floor
with a terrific smash to the stomach.

Norwegians Propose Arbitration,
Which Swedes Reject Norway"
Increases Force on Frontier.
KARLSTADT. Sopt. 7. The conference
of the delegates of Norway and Sweden,
appointed to discuss the dissolution of the
union of Norway and Sweden, adjourned
today until September 13. to enable the
delegates to return to their respective
capitals and confer with their govern
ments. The result of their deliberations
is uncertain.
Christian Lundeberg. the Swedish Pre
mier, who is one of the commissioners,
said that an agreement had beon entered
into to make no communication regarding
the proceedings of the conference. It
is evident, however, that the negotiations
have reached a point which necessitates
consultation by the commissioners with
their respective governmonts. Premier
Michelsen, of Norway, will remain here.
No special session of the Riksdag will
be convened, and this fact Indicates thit
the conditions submltU-d by the Swedish
commissioners are unalterable, and that
an amicable settlement will depend upon
the action of the Norwoglan Storthing.
It is probable that the Norwegians In
sisted on the formulation of an arbitra
tion treaty as the basis of further nego
tiations. The Swedish government, it Is
believed, will never agree to this, as it
would moan the arbitration of questions
arising from present conditions and the
recognition of the sovereignty of Norway.
The Norwegian government has. within
the last few da3s, concentrated a oon
sidorable rrtimber of troops fin the fron
tier and has removed other troops near
the frontier.

Broadway Theater. With the excep
tion of a few minutes, during which

ferring to the Daughters of Votorans

association, overcame him and he sat
down with tears streaming down hjs
cheeks. The paragraph was read by
Past Commander-in-Chief Wagner.
General King's address covered the
full terra, of which General Blackmar
sorved 11 months. Of pensions he said:

RE-ENACT THEIR QUEL
TAGGARTS GIVE DRAMATIC DIS
PLAIT FROM REAL LIFE.
Appear in Good Humor and Might
Have Made Up Taggart At
tacks Wife's- Lawyer.
WOOSTER, O., Sept. 7. (Special.) Cap
tain Taggart and his wife enacted In
court today a family quarrel scene to sat
isfy Mr. Sterling, the attorney, and both
found plenty of fun in doing it. It did
not seem at all as If the two had been
combating each other for weeks, and stor
ies of their troubles had gono all over
the world. And It was a very nice por
trayal of a family "ocrap," too that is,
as far as it went. The scene was sup
posed to be a duplicate of that on the
night of June- 30. 1&D8, when Captain
Pooro acted as escort home for Mrs. Tag
gart. Captain Taggart seized his wife by the
arm and tried to scowl. The wife tried
to jork her arm away and to look dag
gers. In this attractive "struggle" the
sleeves of' her waist wero supposed to
become torn. But somehow or other they
wouldn't tear. Neither would the scowl
ing or the dagger-looks bear up under
the strain. It all wound up In an out
break of merriment, the Captain and his
wife seemingly being In the best of humor.
Psychological Moment Lost.
Critics declared It might have been a
psychological moment for Judge Eason.
He might have loaned forward and or
dered: "Kiss and make up."
Thore were many in the courtroom who
would have been willing to wagor It
would have been the last of the Taggart
divorce case right there.
"Mrs. Taggart never struck your was
asked.
"No, she pimply tried to get away. I
did not drag her down the stairs. I told
her we would have an understanding be
fore she went upstairs, and took her by
the arm and wc walked down the hall."
he continued. The details of the alterca
tion were then again gone over. Finally
the scene was actually enacted.
TagarL Denounces Smyser.
Captain Taggart was re-examined at
great length upon the letters that passed
between himself and his wife. Speaking
of one written by Mrs. Taggart to the
War Department through her attorneys,
asking the department to take action for
a court-martial on Taggart, the witness
said:
"It was the most scurrilous and dirty
letter ever written by a human being who
claimed to have a onclencc."
"You know. Mr. Smyser." said Tag
gart, "that you said you would take ad
vantage of your position as a Congress
man and your Influonco with the War
Department to bent me in this lawsuit."
"No, I did not ever say that." answered
Smyser, vehemently.
"Well, Mrs. Taggart said you did," re
plied Taggart.
Not Trying Suits as Congressman.
After recess a copy of the letter was
produced and read to Taggart. He looked
at the letter-book and said:
"There la no signature."
"I signed it," said Smyser. "It is not
customary to put the signature In a
copybook."
"Did you sign It as a Congressman?"
"No I didn't try lawsuits as a Con
gressman." "Well, It .looks very much that way,"
said Taggart.

testified against Mrs. Taggart, was mer

Texas Mob Inflicts Dire Pen

HE HAD CONFESSED CRIME
Fierce Gale Fans Flames and
Quickly Ends Agony Husbnnd
of Negro's Victim Starts
Fire Great Crowd.
FORT WORTH. Tex., Sept- 7. A spe
cial to the Record from Waxahatchie
tells of the burning tonight of Steve Da
vis, a young negro, who confessed to out
raging Mrs. 8. P. Norrls, aged V). last
Sunday night.
A mob consisting of Si00 persons' tied
the negro to a piece of gas pipe that had
been set in the ground, piled fagots
around him and set the mass on Are.
The sufferings of the negro were of Bhort
duration, owing to the fierceness of the
fire, which was fanned by a gale of wind
which blew across the prairie.
The husband of the woman Is said to
have set the match to the tinder and
started the blaze that consumed tho
negro.
After waiting an hour In order that the
negro might bid goodbye to his brother
and sister, Davis was chained to the
stake. He pleaded and struggled vio
lently. A match was applied to the huge
pile of lumber and brush saturated with
oil, and the negro's struggles and moan
ing ceased In five minutes.
The fire burned SO minutes after the ap
plication of the match and nothing but
embers and charred remains of the negro
marked the spot of the awful tragedy.
The mob was comparatively quiet and
soon dispersed.
The bones and ashes of the victim of
the mob's fury were gathered up by his
brother and sister.
Davis was arrested last Tuesday and
taken before the woman, who at that
time was not sure it was he. She had
been desperately ill. Today he was again
taken before the woman, who on sight
of him fainted. When she recovered she.
Identified him, and his fate was sealed.
The negro finally confessed, detailing the
crime.
This Is the third negro that has been
burned in this section of Texas within a
short time. One of these waa lynched at
Sulphur Springs, and another at Waco.
FOUR PATROLMEN ARE UP
Charge Against Three Dismissed,
Fourth Suspended Thirty Days.
Four patrolmen were on the mat before
the police committee of the Executive
Board, yesterday afternoon, the charges
against them all being dismissed with the
exception of one. who was merely sus
pended for one month without pay.
The charges were ignored against Pa
trolman E. Burke, whose beat Is on East
Burnslde and East Third streets, and who
waa accused by Bernard Gobbl with bru
tal conduct while arresting him. July 22,
for riding his wheel on the sidewalk; Jo
seph Scallon. charged with extortion by
John Muchow. a saloonkeeper, of 333 First
street, and H. A. Galbralth, whom Ed
ward Stone, proprietor of a wood-sawing
outfit, claimed had been brutal to him
in connection with making an arrest for
violating a city ordinance by leaving his
machine on the street, and afterward
when forcing him to move on while he
was waiting on a corner. The testimony
against the officers did not prove suffi
ciently strong. In the estimation of the
committee, to Justify any stringent ac
tion, hence all the charges of misconduct
were dismissed.

who was suspended August 20 for not
being present at the fire which destroyed
the State-Room Inn rooming-house, near

You Must
If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or q-ngested state of
the brain, which will soon de
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex
hausted vitality.
Dr. Miles' Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it,
soothes the irritation and re
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev
ery nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles' Nervine.
