SAN FRANCISCO, July 7. Close frlenda of Jotfrlos aro urclnn tho oIr
follow today to undergo nn examination by specialists. They nro fear
ful that tho montnl strati under which Jeffries passed both boforo and
after his battle with Jack Johnson may result la serious breakdown.
Itogor Cornell, tho trainer, who witnessed the nervous collapse of Jet
frloa Just boforo tho fight, has grave apprehensions for tho welfaro of
tho defeated man.
Jeffries today Is at tho homo of his friend, Dick Adams, at Oakland.
Ills wlfo and brother aro planning to take him to his southern Califor

"Jeffries suffered a mental and nervous breakdown In tho rub room,"
nld Cornell. "That was shortly after noon on tho day of tho fight. Ho
collapsed under tho strain. Wo were nuzzled what to do. Wo hoped for
tho best. Thoro was no turning back at that stage. Jeffries was In tlno
nhvfilrni pon.lltlon and It was that which kept him going t' o fifteen
rounds,
Many State Executives to Help Move

Jeffries-Johnson Fuss Those
Who Decline Say They Lack Power
nOSTOX, Mass., July 7. Many
stato governors will help tho move
ment to suppress the oxhlbltlon of tho
Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures. In
repuy to teleKn.ms sent yestcday by
Secretary William Shaw of tho Chris

hlo head in tho ring, trying to net right, but It was no use."
Ho shook
A local sport wrltor. who spent
two months in tho Jeffries camps both
at Itowardcnncn and Moana Springs,
said teday:
"Jeffries has a disposition and will
nit liia mvn nnd tho free rein he
wielded In training Is not in accord
with his own best wishes. His train
crs thought best to colncldo with him
and this clearly worked against tho
final test that came so dlsastnusly
oa the Fourth.
"Tho facts In a nutshell point to
Jim Jeffries being a beaten man be
fore he crawled through tho ropes
and his tight against Johnson was
only for tho matter ot putting it bo
foro the public that demanded It.
"Tho bic fellow's nerves went to
pieces at 12:30 Monday afternoon, as
near ns can bo figured. Ho had just
returned from a stroll on the road
with Frank Qotch and had proceeded
to his rub room to jjo under a inns
boro by Koper Cornell. Gotch had
noticed tho mental stniKgle because
of tho bijr fellow's disinclination to
talk, lie was rational on the out
side but an old friend like Qotch no
ticed tho cliauRo tho minute they
started on thehroad.
"In tho rub room, Jeffries' nerves
Rave away entirely. He shook like a
leaf, Cornell said, nnd when he had
passed the first stapes of the col
lapse, he was an limp as a rap. Da
vid Lewissohn. Jeffries' Chicapo-
friend, tried to have the fifiht de
clared off but this was decided to be
out of the question. The trainers
that knew also thought that Jeffries
would recover his strength shortly,
and they hoped for the best.
"At any rate Jeffries was prepared
for the encounter, while Lewissohn
and others havinc the information
wired East and tried to hedge on
their bets. The rest of the story
lias been told. Jeffries went into his
dressing room at the arena nnd it
-was there that his brother Jaek dfc
covered his real conditon.
"'What his happened to Jim?' ho
whispered anxiously in Cornell's eye.
'He's us wenk as a cat.'
"Jeffries also was troubled men
tally. He refused to talk and hi- as
sistants could not raise him from
tho stupor that has given use to t'lr
rumor that ho was doped. There
was certainly a marked change ir
tho man. The writer was present
was present when he wns led into
tho ring by his seconds nnd he op
pcured for all tho world us though
lie were in a daze.
"Jim Jeffries is such a carious in
dividual that his condition was not
so noticeable at the time but follow
ing the circumstances, it bears out
to a remnrkable degree the sloiv of
hit collopse."

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., July 7.
Tho stato republican convention has
adopted n platform that endorsed
Prcbidlent Tnft without qualification

ing adherents will wend toward his
home.
At tho Johnson residence, bought
for "Mnmmy," Johnson, with inoncy
won by the fighting negro, n fonnnl
reception will be held. Meanwhile
n brass band in the Johnson back
ynrd will entertain the entire black
population.
The order throughout the black belt
is "silk hats and frock coats" for
(he men and the finest gowns for
the women. Little Africa is far
from poverty stricken, thanks to the
prowess of "Lil Arthn."
"Mammy," who impatiently await
ed her son's return, has prepared a
collation of chicken, pork chops and
water melon graced n goodly supply
of ico cream for her son and hi,
admirers. Jack's ability in absorb
ing the melting ices is second only
to his defensive work in the ropod
sounro.
The Johnson boom for alderman
is n healthy one today. The enthu
siastic blacks have nllicd to tho crov
nnd cottoned to the idea. Johnson
clubs are being formed nnd if the
enthusiasm does not languish it looks
as though Alderman Johnson might
become n reality.

CHICAGO, July 7. The Jeffries
Johnson fight at Reno is merely an
Instance of tho remarkable recent ad
vance of the black race, according to
Professor W. L. Hamilton of tho Uni
versity of California, who is a mem
tor of tho faculty of the summer
school at Northwestorn university.
In a lecture boforo a class In sociol
ogy, Professor Hamilton declared that
tho negro is no longor the whlto
-man's inferior. Ho pointed to the
ltono fight as partial proof of his
assertion.
"In art, music, literature, warfare
and physical development tho negro
has gone forward rapidly in tho last
half century and no longer can bo
considered inferior to tho whlto," ho
said. "Ho is rapidly nproachlng
equality with tho whlto so far ns
civilization Is considered and I should
not bo surprised were I alive to watch
his progress 300 years to see tho
negro and tho white inter-marrying
and meoU evorywhero on common
ground."

OPEN ON JULY 14
The Xatatorlum plunge will bo
open for business July 14, Is tho wel-
como announcement made by Mana
ger Charles D. Hczelrigg today. Also
the dance floor will bo dedicated that
night. Thia is not the formal open
ing of what will undoubtedly bo a
most popular resort, for -that will
not take place until somo weoks
later when all departments aro completed.
On the samo day tho Frank Miller
Carnival company will open a three
days' engagemenC on tho Natatorlurn
grounds with the usual shows and
midway, a balloon ascension each aft
ernoon and four big freo acts before
each performance. There will bo no
charge for admission to tho grounds
or building until tho formal opening.
On the morning of July 5 a house
holder on Xorth Central avenue on
arising noticed that a pet dog was
having considerable fun with a hat
and a shoe on the lawn in front of
the house.
Investigation revealed not only tho
hat and ono shoe, but two boxes of
candy and a bottle of beer. Also In
tho dampened grass was the imprint
of a human form. None came to
claim any of tho property, but a man
was seen later In the morning making
his way south, bareheaded, the In
formant did not know whether he
was barefooted also or not.

in the sweatband. Tho shoe, also new
bears tho mark of an Ashland dealer.
The deduction would seem to bo
that overcome with fatiuge and other
things he bad laid down under the
rose bushes on the lawn to rest, that
walking about all day in his now
shoes had caused discomfort and ho
had removed one. When ho awoke
bewildered In tho morning with a
small but active dog yapping at his
heels he proceeded to put as much
spaco as possible between himself and
the aforesaid dog without taking
time to resume his raiment or pick
up tho candy and the beer.
The hat and shoe aro awaiting a
claimant, but tho candy and tho beer
havo gone tho way they should go.
vlllo W. Fuller is rumored hero to
day. Tho report declares that Presi
dent Taft is considering tho action
in order that tho court may hear tho
tobacco and oil trust cases without
i further delay. ,
No official statement rogardlng tho
matter has been made and many per
sons lire doubt tho authenticity of tho
report. They declare that a special
session would cost $00,000 and be
llovo that tho president would not
put tho country to such an expenso
unless somo more urgent need pre
sented Itself.
