Mrs. I'itzslmmons is in constant attendance upon her husband, who has been ap pearing at a suburban theater until yesterday, when his condition became suddenly worse and he was rushed to a hospital. F'hysicians at the institution late to day said there was small hope for the patient's recovery. News of the nrnsnActivo flpo th rr Itobert Fitzsimmons cast a shadow of gloom over the many frionds of the former great middle and heavyweight viinmpion in mis city. as me I nrniT p inmninn ti-.i t- known the world over, was a personal menu 01 jacK urant and other Port land fisht experts and in the many imes uiat ne was in Portland on his theatrical tours of the country, he was a viuitor with Mr. Grant Fitzimmona was born in the town of j-ieiston. Lornwall, Kngland. June 4. JSB2. A tall and rangy chap he soon broadened into an athlete of promise. Bob was one of three brothers. He claimed the protection of three nations Kngland, where he was born: New Zealand and Australia, where he was raised, and the United States, where he passed most of his manhood. He was a naturalized American citizen. He was known .as a Cornishman, a Xew Zea lander, an Australian and an American. Bob la Indifferent Pupil. Bob's father was a miner. He was of a roving disposition and when Bob was about nine years old the head of the Fitzsimmons family decided to leave Kngland. So with his family he board ed a ship for New Zealand. Arriving there the elder Fitzsimmons settled his family in a little place called Lyttle ton, where he obtained work as a min er. The three Fitzsimmons brothers tramped three miles to school each morning and back again in the after noon. Voting- Bob was an indifferent Ktudent, timid and bashful in every thing but athletics. Running and jumping were his favorite pursuits. At 11 years of age Bob decided he hud enough of school life and went to work In a grocery store. At 12 years he was known as the best fighter in the village. Then Bob turned to black cmlthing at Timaru, where his elder brother had moved. It was at Timaru that Bob saw his first boxing match and decided that it was the life for him. Ho had a quick eye. was agile, possessed unusual strength and was equipped with a good brain bo that he oon acquired and mastered the few principles of the boxing art that he aw displayed. Bob pestered the promoters of the Timaru fights until the latter decided to lot him have his first battle. His Initial fight was with a blacksmith who worked in the same shop with him. Bob weighed about 140 pounds while his opponent tipped the beam at 20 pounds. He keeled his fellow worker over in jigtime and from then on he was the village champion. DempKry Ik Brnten. lie later came to the United States and his first fight of any prominence was with a boxer named Black Pearl in 1SS1. which Fitzsimmons won in four rounds. Stories of his prowess began to circulate in the United States and there were numberless demands for Ills appearance in the different rings. His first big fight was with Jack Irmpsey whom he knocked out in IS rounds at New Oilcans. Later he fought Peter Maher and kept on mow ing down the fighters as they appeared in the ring with him. Bob won the heavyweight champion ship of the world from James J. Cor bett at Carson City. Nevada, March 17, 1S37. He held the world's title until he met Jeffries in isp;i, when the latter knocked Fitzsimmons out in the 31th round. The lanky heavyweight essayed a number of times to try and regain his lost title, but his attempts were fruitless. He did manage, however, to drfr;it Jim Daly, Kd Ininkhiirst, Gus l.uhlin and Tom Sharkey, but when he tried again to mix with Jim Jef fries in San Francisco in 190:! he was knocked out in the eighth round. lie later fought Joe t;riin, Cieorge Gardiner. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Jack Johnson, Bill Lang and JDan Ssweeney. Fighter's Iteacb Iw Long. From a fighting standpoint Bob Fitzsimmons was a physical freak. Although standing 5 feet 1 1 i inches, he never weighed more than 170 pounds, and In the great battles of his heavyweight career he declared he weighed in the neighbohood of Ji8 pounds. Spurting cartoonists made fa mous the Australian's almost top-lieavy figure the rnomous shoulders, the long arms, the narrow waist, small hips, seemingly pipe-stem legs, and the freckles with which hi entire body was dotted. Fitzsimmons had the un usually long reach of 75 inches.

In Judg-e Landis' court at today's session of the trial of tJustav H. Jacobsen, Chicago real estate dealer, and his three co-defendants charged with conspiracy. The plot against Dr. Cook and his party. Chatterji said, was revealed to him in Manila by George Paul Boehm, one of the defendants. "Boehm said that he had planned to kill Captain Cook and his crew, who were to make an expedition to the Himalayan Mountains," said the witness. "Boehm was to assume the name of Captain Cook and the other men in our party were to assume the names of the other sailors who were to be killed. I protested and the as sassination did not take place. It was Boehm's plan to go through India under the guise of an explorer and foment a revolt against Great Britain. The plan was to either kidnap or murder any British officials, detectives or spies who interfered with our plans." The witness said he came to this country in 3 912 to study journalism, but later he was induced to take part in the alleged plot by lieramba L1 Gupta, one of the defendants. He told of meetings held In San Francisco in 1915, at which plans for the alleged plot were discussed, and of going to Manila with the alleged conspirators.

EXPERTS WILL CO-OPERATE Purpose of Xew Council Is to Give Supply Purchasing Officials Full Benefit of Valuable Information. PARIS, Oct. 10. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The newest adjunct of the Cnited States Purchas ing Board, which was created several weeks ago on the initiative of General Pershing, is an auxiliary civilian ad visory council composed of five or six American business men resident In France. These, men, whose names have not yet been made public, have been asked to lend their assistance to the board in its gigantic work and to facilitate its operation by advice on conditions and prices in France, and by giving the board the benefit of their expert knowledge whenever it may be needed. The decision to create this auxiliary council is only one of the strides the board has made in the few weeks of its existence. Its chief. Colonel Charles G. Dawes, a former Controller of the Currency and president of the Central Trust Company, of Illinois, has already surrounded himself with nearly a dozen expert quartermaster officers, who are purchasing officers also of their respective branches of service, and is rapidly co-ordinating the work of purchasing supplies for the present as well as the prospective armies in France. The task with which the purchasing board is confronted and on which it is now working about IS hours a day is the accumulation in Europe of all sup plies of every nature that may be available, in order that tonnage may be saved and so that there may be a minimum of overlapping and duplica tion. In accordance with this plan, the en tente countries are being scoured for every kind of war material that may be available from food of all- kinds to airplane par and from iron piping to woolen blankets. The board is working with the co operation of both the French and the English army authorities. It expects to be able to import, and probably will itself transport from England, the coal supplies that are reeded during the coming Winter. Not the least of the benefits of the board will be the control of competi tion, so that prices will not rise as a result of one department bidding against another. POULTRY FEED IS CHEAP Wheat Damaged by Fire Offered at Attractive Price. Wheat that was charred or otherwise damaged in a fire at the plant of the Ground Feed Company. I? ail road ave nue and Lewis street. October 11. is to be distributed among poultry and stock owners at a nominal rate through the efforts of W. B. Ayer. United States food commissioner for Oregon. In all 25.000 bushels of wheat were held there and that spoiled for general use amounted to about 300 tons. Mr. Ayer referred the matter of using the wheat to K. L. Potter, professor of the animal husbandry department of the Oregon Agricultural College. The lat ter made an examination of the grain, deciding that it should be made avail able as feed for hogs and poultry. Professor Potter has informed Mr. Ayer that the grain could best be used as feed if mixed with shorts, middlings or barley, as it carries a greater per centage of charcoal than is ordinarily red. Mr. Ayer has in turn taken the case up with the Ground Feed Company and advised the owners to dispose of the grain at a feed value not to exceed $13 a tor and not to destroy the grain "un der any circumstances. It has been sacked and is being offered for sale. MISS MAMIE FLYIMN NAMED Portland "Woman Will Head War Work Entertainment Committee.

He is chair man of the sub-committee on alcohol of the "War Council. "The war," he said, "is a protest of humanity against Oermanity. It is a demand for purity against impurity, and ideals for purity should pro through all armies, especially our own. We are prolng to fight venereal diseases in the Army.

The military organization of today makes tempta tions to vice very scarce, compared with the temptations of the cities."
