CORBETT SAYS JEFF

Coltd Pnw LHHd Wlre.1
Chicago, Jan. 14. Jim Corbett Is tak
ing himself seriously In connection with
the present situation In the heavy
weight division ef the fight game. He
said today that while In Los Angeles
recently he learned that Jeffries con
siders it almost an Impossibility to get,
Into shape again and that it appeared
to him that with Johnson's present lead,
a fight for the title looked away off.
Corbett believes, though, that Johnson's
reign will be short lived. Discussing
the matter today, he said:
"I look to see two years the limit of
Johnson's reign unless he follows in the
footsteps of Jeffries and retires. He is
possessed of a nature that means a
fast life from now until he is separated
from the crown he possesses. Johnson
would do well to remain some time in
Australia. That is the place for him to
fight, for In that clime his color counts
for less than here In America,
"Another fight between him and a
man of reputation would mean even a
greater attendance than witnessed the
battle with Burns."

THREE YEARS OF
Ul FOOTBALL
Multnomah Discards Uni
versity's 2 Year Alternate
Thanksgiving Scheme.
Bill Hayward. Mart Pratt and Em
Angell sat In a -quiet little three handud
game last night with the stakes the
Thanksgiving day football game in
Portland the next three years. Pratt
held a pair of aces and when Angell
dealt him two more he won the jackpot
tnnd and tilentv. Havward was cleaned.
But to get down to facta. For the
next three years the Oregon Agricul
tural college will play the Thanksgiv
ing day football game with the Multno
mah club In Portland.
This was decided upon this morning
after Hayward, wno represented me
University of Oregon, last night re
fused to enter Into a contract extending
over two years. The contract between
the club and the college will be made
out at once and forwarded to CorvaJlis
for Angell to sign. The university will
sign up with the University of Wash
ington, according to present intentions
for its 1809 Thanksgiving game.
The two nhvslcal directors and the
club manaeer met last night for a final
discussion of the game. Hayward came
down from Eugene Instructed to enter
Into a three cornered contract covering
a period of two years. He was willing
to alternate with O. A. C. during the
next two games, the Aggies playing this
fall and the varsity In the fall of 1910.
He went further and agreed that if
there was to be a club college game In
1911, the date could go. to the Aggies.
This was agreeable to Angell, but
Manager Pratt would not concede to
tho arrangement. Pratt held out for a
three year contract and as Angell was a
semi-pasilve third party, the big man
ager won out
Colleges Would Bnlft. ,
Both Angell and Hayward are work
ing toward shifting the annual O. A.
C.-XT. of or game to the Thanksgiving
date, and Pratt was anxious to clinch
one of the big colleges to a three year
contract. Hayward wants a Thanks
giving Intercollegiate campus game.,
while Angell is not so particular In this
respect with Pratt it Is solely a mat
ter of finances.
Phatt stated this morning that had
he agreed to the two year proposition,
the club would have found Itself at Its
expiration in the same position as at
present This Manager Pratt is anxious
to avoid.
It has come to a point when football
followers want to see the club play a
college team Thanksgiving day. There
is a community of Interest between the
club and the two colleges, nearly all
the college athletes from Portland be
longing to the local organization. From
a financial standpoint the club college
game is the big money getter of the
year.
Manager Pratt has won a decided vic
tory In his effort to provldehe club
for a football date on the holiday in
entering Into the three year contract
With the Aggies.
Hayward, who leaves this afternoon
for Eugene, stated that there was some
talk about the university playing an
opposition game in Portland next
Thanksgiving. Personally! Hayward as
serted, he was opposed to this proced
ure. He said he was acting only tem
porarily and the Thanksgiving day mat
ter would be left to a student manager
or a graduate manager for final set

WHAT THE LAWMAKERS ARE
. DOING AT OLYMPIA, WASH.
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
. Olympla, Wash Jan. 14. Washing
ton Is about to try the experiment of
placing the state Institution ander the
control and management of one man In
stead of in the qbarge of a board of
three or more men. Governor Mead has
recommended a plan of charging one
man with the duties bow performed by
the board of control, placing the re
sponsibility where It can be readily
enforced, and paying such a salary as
will secure for tha nosltlon tha best ex
ecutive heads In the state. Many mem
bers, of the legislature have endorsed
the scheme, and It will likely be given a
fair trial.
The matter of handling the penlten.
tlary and other Institutions has always
been a disturbing element In the state.
Changes of boards, changes of methods
of handling the Institutions, have been
made at nearly every session of the leg
islature, but to the present time no sat
isfactory method has been found. The
state board of control has been tried for
a t aw years, but It has a number of
defecta
It Is understood that Governor-elect
cos grove is In favor of the change in
management and it is likely that the
present session will pass a law making
an entire change In the management of
all the state Institutions, save the uni
versity. Prison Conditions Improved.
(Special Dispatch to Tle Journal.)
Olympla, Wash., Jan. 14. The sys
tem -of paroles adopted at the last ses
sion of the legislature, and the plan
adopted by Superintendent Reed of the
penitentiary, of dressing prisoners in
plain clothing Instead of In stripes, has
worked a wonderful change for the bet
ter In the state penitentiary. Disci
pline, has Improved, the class of work
performed has beoohis more satisfac
tory, the men are more hopeful and are
given to lees disturbance and cause for
punishment
Under the law a man who has served
six months has a chance to secure his
freedom on parole If he conducts him
self properly. Unless he makes a good
record he is barred from participating
In the benefits of the parole law.
Nearly 200 have been given advantage
of the law, and but four or five have
violated the conditions of the parole Or
pardon under which they were freed.
In the matter of dress, formerly every
man wore stripes, which hurt his self
respect Now the nlan la in rlva tha
best prisoners citizens' clothing, and
only keep bad men in the old uniform
as a mark of dishonor. Red striped
suits have been substituted for the
black stripes where a prisoner has been
Incorrigible or made an effort to es

beneficial effect upon the entlrs popula

say treasury officials.
We do not desire to issue bonds. If

be the deuce to pay around here just

cry out In consternation at the deflolt,
sometimes smile In their sleeves as
they think of the gilt-edged securities
the bond Issues will throw on the mar

assuaged.
"None ever accused President Roose

It Is true, however, that no scandals
have arisen over projects for treasury
emptyings which have originated In the
mind of the Incumbent president, whose
policies, while compelling lnoreases in
expenditures, have been for projects of
quite general necessity and worth, un?
less there might be question as to the In

question ever which there la much di

ordinary receipts have grown 73

Olympla, Wash.. Jan. 14. Next Wed
nesday at noon the senate and house
will meet in joint session to cast the
first vote for a United State senator
to succeed Senator Ankeny. This will
be tha first time la tha history of the
state when the people have had a chance
to vote upon the choice ef a senator,
and Wesley I Jones of North Yakima,
present congressman, carried the state
by a large majority. Senator Ankeny,
who was' defeated for the nomination,
has not indicated any Intention of con
tasting In any manner the election of
Congressman Jones, and it is thought
here but one ballot will be needed to
bring-about the election.
This will be a radical change from old
conditions. In several legislatures the
election of a senator has caused prac
tically a paralysatlon of business in the
body during a large part of the ses
sion and all sorts of trades have been
made affecting legislation. There Is a
notioeable lack of the enthusiasm us

about the lobbies of the hotels nor
about the capitol building.
Provision for State Charges.
(Special Dispatch to Tsa Joernat)
Olympla, Wash., Jan. 14.The state
of Washington needs a third insane asy
lum, a home for aged and Infirm, and
an Institution for tne care of criminal
Insane and Insane criminals. Such are
tha recommendations of Governor Mead
In Jils message to tha legislature, and
the Ideas are not new. Scores of mem
bers of the legislature have already ex-
?ressed themselves in the matter, and
here Is but little, doubt that appropri
ations will be passed to make provis
ion for the establishment of the new
Institutions.
Washington now has two Insane asy
lums, one at Medical Lake and another
at Stellacoom, near Tacoma. Both insti
tutions are crowded to their full capac
ity, and It Is necessary that additions
be made or a new asylum provided for.
The governor and the board of control
take the position that 1000 persons are
enough to have in one institution, and
even that number are not given the
best of care. Over 1000 unfortunates
are confined In each asylum.
As was mentioned In these dispatch
es a few days ago, tha plan to take from
the various counties the care and main
tenance of the poor and ' aged, was
recommended by Governor Mead, and
plans have already been drawn for the
buildings. It Is proposed to establish
two homes, one on either elds of the
Casoade mountains, to lessen the ex
pense of transportation, ynaer tne
nlan all county charges would be gath
ered In the two homes and there cared
for by the state.
The provision asked for the ears of
Juvenile prisoners and for those weak
mantauy, or commonly Known as in
sane, has been considered for a number
of years, and Is now getting Into tan
gible form. Scores of weak minds are

of these facts that there is no au

Every committee which brings In an
appropriation bill believes It has best
served the oountry If It has aggregated
the largest sums possible.
These facts constitute the real diffi

My Original Methods Core Every
Case I Take for Treatment
I know exactly what to do to effect a thor
ough cure In every case that I accept for
treatment. Though this la something- that
every specialist oufht to know, it Is rare
knowledge, Indeed. The hundreds of evi
dences of mistreatment that come beneath
my observation prove the general lack of a
clear understanding of men's diseases and
their treatment. I have devoted 20 years to
the study and treatment of the very few ail
ments constituting my specialty and have
acquired the knowledge and skill and devel
oped the original and scientific methods that
enable me to accomplish results such as no
other physician anywhere has ever accom-
Ellshed. I understand my work from first to
tst, know what to do and what not to do,
and treat every case without the slightest
Idea of failure. I positively oonflne my prac
tice to the
Diseases of Msn
My practice has demonstrated that no ailment
peculiar to men la Incurable. - Failure to
care Is usually due to lack ef knowledge and
Improper treatment. Tou may consult me
free of charge and learn your exact condi
tion. I will not urge my services, nor will
I accept your case until I'm positive of my
ability to cure you.
Every patient who comes to me 'for treatment receives personal at
tentlon. All my assistants are graduates of the best medical colleges,
and act only under my supervision.

Weakness
"Weakness" is not a nervous disorder, demanding a tonic system f
treatment, but Is merely a symptom of chronlo Inflammation or conges
tion In the prostate gland. This condition exists as a result of early
dissipation or some improperly treated contracted disorder, and requires
carefully directed local measures only. . By my own original methods,
the prostate gland la quickly restored to its normal state, which results
In full and complete return ef strength and vigor. My cures are perma
nent because the condition responsible for the functional disorder- Is en
tirely removed, and I am convinced that by no treatment other than- my
own carefully directed local measures Is a radical cure of this ailment
possible.
Examination Free
I offer not only FREE Consultation and Advice, but of every ease that
oomes to me I will make a Careful Examination and Diagnosis without
