Coffroth's Arena at Colma to

Battle.
GLEASONWINS CONTENTION
Last Conference With Rickard Re
sults in Unofficial Announce
s nient That Calfornla Will
Get World Scrap.
6 ALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 8. (Special)
James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson will
meet July 4th in Croffroth's arena at
Colma or at San Mateo, close to San
Francisco, or in the Oolden Gate city
Itnelf, for the heavyweight championship
f the world. This Is unofficial, but un
doubtedly correct.
Tex Rickard and Jack Gleason broke
off negotiations temporarily tonight with
the place for the bout apparently in the
air as much as ever, but reliable inside
Information has it that Rickard has given
up and that Gleason has won in his tight
for San Francisco.
The only possible chance Utah has to
fret the fight is for the business men of
the city and state to rally to Rickard's
support in such numbers as to over
whelm fthe state authorities. Then the
light weuld have to go outside this county
on account of the County Attorney, who
has barred the match here.
As all the state authorities hold of
fices through the Mormon Church this
would put the church on record as fac
orirfg prizefights, and it is believed that
Institution would not care to have this
odium attached to It.
The last conference today ended with
Rickard gloomy and Gleason chesty.
Rickard refused to say anything definite,
but he is authoritatively quoted as say
ing that the fight goes to California.
Before leaving here the the East,
Sam Berger said: "Why, between you
and the rest of us, 'Frisco is the place
where the light Is most desired. Jeff
wants it there, but It's none of our mess
right now. When the promoters get
through with the wrangle everything will
be announced and final. There is no
doubt but that 'Frisco is most desired
by everyone. Not until there Is an ac
tual brach between Rickard and Gleason,
however, will he bother with it. If such
. a breach occurs, of course, the fighters
will step In and say something.'"

Is Still Mystery.
LETTER GIVES GOOD CLEW
Tnrlock Woman Tells of Seeing Girl
Answering Description in Port
land, Where She Telephoned
About Man at Tamalpais.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 8- The Identity
of the woman whose body was found on
the slope of Mount Tamalpais last Hhurs
day afternoon, which appeared solved, yes
terday, still remains a mystery. The
police have discovered that the girl
known as "Dutchy," who was a student
in Mrs. Eleanor Llttlefield's hairdressing
establishment, is alive- and living In this
city. Her name is Claudia Jurgensen.
Nothing is known here of the girl, Ellen
Jensen, whose trunk is now being held In
local storehouse.
A letter was received by Coroner
Sawyer, of Marin County, today from
Mrs. Pearl Wells, of Turlock. Cal.. saying
that the writer had met a young woman
answering the description of the mur
dered girl on a trip to Portland by boat.
The girl, upon her arrival in Portland,
telephoned to some friend to ascertain
the whereabouts of a man named Frank,
and she was told that he was employed
on the railroad on Mount Tamalpais. The
girl left Portland the next day for Cali
fornia. Mrs. Wells says In the letter
that she could identify the things the
girl wore If she saw them.
Work has turned upon this clew, which
is regarded as excellent.
Still another identification was fur
nished to the Marion County authorities
today by Mrs. Josephine Munnedun, of
Berkeley, who told them she believed the
body was that of her daughter, Mrs.
James Kutchnor. Her daughter was
married to a miner in Alsaka 11 years
ago and Mrs. Munnedun last heard of her
at Tonopah, Nev.. in September, 1909.
The mother declared that the comb was
very similar to one her daughter wore
and the clothes were the kind she was

BEEF TRUST SCALES LIE
BOISE MEAT C03IBINES MAN
AGER FOUND GUILTY.
Lard Pails Short-Weight, Is Verdict.
Sentence Tomorrow Victory
First in 2 3 Years.
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 8. (Special.)
State Pure Food Commissioner Wallls
won a signal victory for the State of
Idaho late tonight, the first of its kind
for 23 years, or since the short-weight
law was placed on'the statute books,
when he secured a verdict of guilty
against George Schwitzer, manager of
the Boise Butcher Company and presi
dent of the Boise Meat Trust, on the
charge of selling short-weight lard In
pails. Judge Dunbar will pass sen
tence tomorrow.
The law provides a maximum line of
$300, a prison sentence of six months,
or both fine and imprisonment.
The defense set up by Schwitzer was
that he, as well as other dealers, sold
the lard by the. package instead of
the pound. The palls, however, are
plainly marked, designating the number
of pounds they are supposed to con
tain. The evidence showed that the deal
ers had short-weighted six ounces on
three-pound pails, on five-pound pails
nine ounces and on 10-pound pails from
13 to 15 ounces.
Tomorrow Food Commissioner Wallis
will begin the prosecution of the al
leged misbranded butter case against
Swift & Co., and on Thursday the al
leged short-weight lard case against
W. F. Dolan, a local dealer, who sold
lard manufactured by the Cudahy
Packing Company, will be taken up.
CHILDREN ARE AIDED
MEDICAL INSPECTION OF
SCHOOLS PROFITABLE.
Curing of Physical Defects Enables
Pupils to Progress More Rap
Idly With Studies.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 8. Medical
inspection in the schools is saving
Pennsylvania a considerable portion of
$2,160,000 which otherwise would be
wasted on efforts to educate pupils
who. by reason of removable physical
defects, are unable to profit by their
instruction, according to the estimate
of Leonard P. Ayres, assistant director
of the department of child hygiene of
the Russell Sage Foundation in New
York.
Mr. Ayres addressed the department
of superintendents of the Pennsylvania
Educational Association today on the
relation of physical defects t.o school
progress. He said:
"If the children in Pennsylvania are
like their companions in Massachusetts
and New York, about 60 per cent have
seriously decayed teeth. These pupils
require eight and a half years to com
plete a course of study that a child
without defects would complete in
eight years.
"A child with defective breathing re
quires six-tenths of a year longer to
complete eight grades of elementary
scnool work. About one school child in
every seven, has defective breathing.
"The pupil suffering from enlarged
tonsils requires seven-tenths of a year
longer to complete the course than does
the normal, and about one-quarter of
the school children have enlarged
tonsils.
"Children with adenoids spend nine
and one-tenth years in the eight ele
mentary grades and those with en
larged glands nine and two-tenths
years. . About one child in eight has
adenoids, and nearly one-half of the
pupils suffer from enlarged glands."
LOCAL MEN INVADE CELILO

GILL AND M00RE LEAD
(Continued From First Page.)
district; and that if he chose, he would
refuse to reappoint Thomson as City
Engineer. m
He was followed by Austin E. Griffiths,
the third Republican to aspire to the
nomination. Then came the declaration
of candidacy of Oliver T. Erickson. Will
lam Hickman Moore and Charles H.
Miller, all Democrats, and of Ben Humes,
Republican.
Griffiths began with personalities. He
clearly felt that as the advocate of play
grounds and the champion of a higher
moral tone, he would outstrip his two
Republican competitors. He called Bouil
lon "the chameleon candidate," and he
poked fun at Gill's personal appearance.
GUI made a witty reply, declaring that
it was the first time he had heard that
a political campaign was a beauty con
test. Griffiths, in expectation of corner
ing the church vote, continued his at
tacks, bringing squarely to the front the
social evil and the restricted district as
the paramount issue. Ten days ago he
saw the futility of his campaign, and in
withdrawing attempted to throw his
strength to Bouillon.
But Erickson. the "smokestack" nomi
nee" of the Democrats, took up the gauge
where Griffiths threw it down. Both men
are prohibitionists, and both have de
clared for a town closed tight.
To Gill has been paid the unusual trib
ute of a noon-day meeting that packed
the Grand opera-house from pit to dome.
He is regarded as a rough diamond. His
language is straight to the point. The
other night, speaking of franchises, he
said:
If any belt line railroad wants to spend
a million dollars around the city, and that
franchise ever gets to me, I'll sign it so
quick it will make your head swim. I
don't care what people are going to think
about it 200 years from now. I want to act
for the benefit of this generation -and the
children of this generation. Nobody ever
looked that far ahead for me.
Position Made Clear.
He left no doubt in the minds of his
auditors as to his position on the ques
tion of a restricted district:
When I am Mayor a district will be set
aside for those unfortunates. There will be
no red lights about It, no brassbands and
no billboards. It will be quietly conducted,
and policemen will be patrolling their beats
about It. I don't think I shall ever go
back to the fine system. Outside of that
district I win give you a cleaner city than
you have ever had.
Miller started as a Democrat. He is
now recognized as the representative of
labor. He is a member of the Barbers'
Union, although a practicing lawyer. He
has -taken, the same ground as Gill with
respect to a restricted district, and he has
declared unreservedly that his first act
as Mayor would be to dismiss City En
gineer Thomson.
William Hickman Moore, Democrat, has
stood aloof. He has not made a speech.
His campaign has been managed by
George E. Ryan, who has used the mails
and billboards for publicity. Moore has
relied entirely on his record as ex-Mayor
and his standing as a Democrat of the
old school.
One of the lessons of the campaign has
been to illustrate the disintegration of
party under the direct primary. Seattle
has chosen nominees for Mayor on dec
larations wrung from the aspirants after
they took the stump. There is no plat
form, in the usual acceptation of that
term.
It has also appeared tn the Seattle cam
paign that the only real question over
which there was marked difference of
opinion as making for an Issue, is the red
light district and what shall be done with
its populace. Gill and Miller were the
only candidates who announced their po
sition without wobbling, while their op
ponents signified their intention of getting
a law through the Legislature empower
ing cities to deal with the social evil;
but an answer has been made to this
contention In effect' that a community
cannot license an evil and prohibit it at
the same time: and the fear is expressed
that the passage of a state law might be
to procure the city to open a Pandora's
box from which might escape unnum
bered ills.

PORTLAND WRESTLER READS
TO MEET JAP XIGHT.
M. Matsuda and Local Man Claim
Welterweight Championship so
Match Will Be Proof.
Eddie O'Connell, wrestling instructot
at- the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club, has accomplished the task of re
ducing himself to 142 pounds, at which
weight he Is to meet M. Matsuda, a
Japanese wrestler, at Merrill's Hall to
morrow night, and he says he feels as
strong as ever, which is good news to
his friends, who are confident that h
can defeat the Oriental exponent of the
grappling game.
Matsuda is due to reach Portland to
day. He has been training at Spokane,
where he has had several matches.
Matsuda claims the welterweight
wrestling championship, and O'Connell,
likewise, maintains that he is entitled
to the premiership, which means that
the Portland man will contest with the
Oriental for the honors. Both have
frequently met and defeated the best
welterweight grapplers In the United
States and Canada, and neither will
take any chances on losing tomorrow
night through overconfidence.
Catch-as-catch-can rules will govern
the bout. There is scarcely any differ
ence in the ages of the two grapplers,
and both have been wrestling for over
10 years, starting In when lads.
Both wrestlers are required to weigh
142 pounds, and on this contingency
each man has posted a $500 weight for
feit in the event of failure to mak
the welterweight limit.
Gene West expects to get on in one
of the preliminary bouts, though it is
not yet definitely settled. West wants
to meet Walter Arndt. but the latter
has been matched to meet J. Keppert,
and there Is a chance for West to be
staged In txie other preliminary bout.
