San Francisco, July 7. While at
present It Is not, possible -to make
known the exact sources of informa
tion regarding the report that Jef-
- fries put up a gigantic - 'fake' In his
fight with Johnson, good authority
has 'it that the fight was the biggest
"bunk" ever perpetrated on - the
American people and that it has
sounded the death knell of fights in
nearly every state of the union."
Jeffries never was nor never could
have been put In shape Tor bis fat feat
with Johnson. . The Colored man la cley
er but no nearly ao clever aa the word
j artists have tried to paint him. His
record shows him to ba either an extra
ordinary man who his either been able
to accumulate skill and action' In hie
Old age or a strong active fellow who
has In the past been ''laying down."
i Jeffries, It la said, was known to Gov-
ernor Gillett of California, to be a brok
en down boxer, a man frame wracked
with nervous dlaeasea and totally un
fit to enter a ring In opposition even
to the fattest dub who ever aspired to
"the heavyweight class."
Gillett undoubtedly stopped the fight
because he had been made acquainted
with Jeffs tactics. He remembered the
remarkable coincident of the fight with
Fltzslrhmons being forecasted for the
eighth round by a well known ring ex
pert: he recalled the fact that 24 hours
before the Fits-Jeff farce was pulled
off that a man outside the game, entire
ly fair and one who had followed fights
from boyhood, had told the then mayor
of San Francisco and several others
how the : fight: would ..end,- when It
would end and why It would end.;
Mayor McCarthy (present admlnistra
ttnn) when In Chicago said that he fav
ored the Jeff -Jack fight being held in
San, Francisco and he also eald that the
state ."had no right to interfere." Law-
ntlnued on Pegre Thirteen.)
San Franelsco, July 7. Close
friends of Jeffries are urging the big
fellow today to undergo an examina
tion by specialists. They are fearful
that. the mental strain under. which
Jeffries passed before and after Ills
DSuie Wlia jacK' jonnBon may reuuii
In eerloug nervous breakdown.
Roger Cornell, .the. trainer, who
witnessed the nervous collapse of
Jeffries just before the fight, has
grave, apprehensions for the welfare
of, the defeated man. ...
Jeffries today is at the home of
his friend, Dick Adams, at Oakland.
His wife and brother are planning
to-take him to his southern Califor
nia ranch tonight :.

- "Jeffries suffered a mental and ner.
voua breakdown la the rub' room," said
Cornell. , "That was shortly after noon.
on the day of the fight Hecollapsed
under the strain. We were pussled what
to do. We hoped for the-best; ; There
was no turning back at that stage. Jef
fries was In fine physical condition and
It was that which kept him going the 15
rounds. -He went into that ring like a
dish cloth with his strength and mental
powers : gone- We thought he . might
worfc out of - He shook his head In
the ring, trying to get right, but It was

La Grande, Or., On Board the Elks'
Special, July 7. Btlll dased by the re
markable outburst of enthusiasm which
characterised their departure last night,
a sendoff unparalleled In the history of
Portland fraternal organizations, 1(0
Jolly Elks and their ladies sleepily
rubbed their , eyes this morning and
wondered if it was all a dream. The
multitude which thronged the Union de
pot to wish the antlered herd Godspeed
on their 2500, mile Journey Jto the me
tropolis of Michigan, had no realization
of what the cheers, -the handshakes and
the adieus meant to the excursionists.
.There was many a tear dimmed eye as
the palatial special rolled aoross the
steel bridge and started . up the climb
through Sullivan's jtulch. and they are
still talking about It . this morning.

their appreciation of the efforts being
made to bring to the Rose City, the con

ternlty in 1912,: I want to express the
thanks of all the train. .
EnthnsUam Is Keynote.
Enthusiasm Is the keynote of this ex
curston. With-every mile post the en
thusiasm is Increasing, and it is a safe
conclusion that the Mlchiganders , will
know Portland is very much on the map
before tlfi delegation leaves Detroit.
Right In time the special rolled into
Pendtetoit at 7:30 this morning. Eagerly
awalting'the coming of the train was a
carload of Spokane, Wallace and Lewis
ton Elks and their ladles. As the Port
land train rolled Into the yards i
mighty cher went up from the Wash
ington and Idaho delegations, and there
was a handshaking and Introduction
fest.
Despite the early hour a large number
or Pendleton Elks and prominent citl
sens were at the station to pledge their
support for "Portland, 1J12." Oregon is
Just waking up to the fact that the Elks'
convention two year hence means the
making of the state, and It looks like a
certainty that the northwest will St last
receive recognition at the hands of the
grand lodge. ,

It is given out today that, all of the

step any action that Is likely to run
counter to the will of the people of
Marlon; county except possibly In' one
instance. The assembly does not feel
strong enough With . the voters. . The
single exception comes about, from the
fact that B. D. Allen of Sllyerton is
serving his second- term as county

San Diego, Cel., July 7. There was

the absolute refusal of A. G. Spalding,
