thing of the sort, but not to the ex

President This Afternoon
Conference Between the Secretary of
Interior and President Taft . Ex
pected to Last All the Afternoon
Will Discuss Reclamation.
(By WILLIAM MOSTKR)
Beverly, Mass., July 5 Secretary
of. the Interior.' Ballinger arrived here
shortly after 9 o'clock this morning
for a conference with President Taft
on department matters. The confer
ence Is expected to last most of the
afternoon.- Important results may
follow from it, for the rumor is per
sistent that Secretary Ballinger in
tends to retire from the cabinet on or
before September 15.
Mr. Ballinger strenuously denies,
however, that he intends to gat out.
"I am no quitter," he said in the
executive offices this morning, when
the question of resignation was put
up to him, ''and never have been. I
have not brought my resignation with
me, and I will not leave it behind me
When I leave this evening." ..'" .
He declared that affairs in the in
terior department are in good shape,
the reclamation bureau alone deserv
ing attention. It is this that he will
discuss principally with the president.
The matter of the distribution of the
$20,000,000 for uncompleted irri
gation and reclamation projects is to
be considered and several of the
proposed schemes will have to be
abandoned. The work of selecting
the projects most impracticable will
be left to the board of army engin
eers recently appointed. Secretary
Ballinger declared that this board
is. the best that could possibly have
been selected by the president and
under its recommendations he looks
forward to a straightening out of
the kinks in the reclamation bureau.
It was specifically denied that
there in any political significance
attaching to the secretary's visit.
Mr. Ballinger took lunch with the
president,, and will spend the after
noon at Burgess Point in confer
ence.. :
'President Taft is considering the
advisability of attending the funer
al services of the late Chief Justice
Fuller at Sorrento, Me., but is not
likely that he will make the journey.
Governor Hughes still looms up as
the' most likely successor to Chief
ustice -Fuller.

INQUIRY INTO CAUSE
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Middletown, O., July 5 The in
vestigation ; begun ' today , Into the
wreck of a section of the Twentieth
Century Limited yesterday, -In which
20 persons were - killed- and many
hurt, brought -out conflicting stories
as to the cause ttfj 'jw-disaster. The
declirat Ions vi ' riw "lrasseirgerv train
engine crew and those of the freight
trainmen do not tally.-
Besides the inquiry conducted by
Coroner J. A. Burnett, who arrived
from Hamilton yesterday aiternoon
soon after the disaster, the officials
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton Railroad, and of the Big Four
line also started to probe it.
George Wald, the pilot engineer
who was in charge of the Big Four
train which was wrecked, is one of
the principal witnesses. Today he
declared emphatically that he was on
schedule, though the freight crew as
sert that he was ahead of time.
Wald said that he' obeyed, the ord
ers given him when ho took charge
of the passenger train as pilot, after
it had been deflected- because of a
wreck on its regular route.
Railroad officials intimated today
that Wald had not obeyed orders,
having been told to pass the freight,
which was in two sections, at Post
Town. ' '
- Reports from Dayton and Hamil
ton, to which points the injured-were
taken, this morning indicated that
the death list would in all likelihood
be increased.
THE FISHERIES
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington, July : 5 Unofficially,
at the state department it was said
today that certain interests in Can
ada were trying to prejudice the
American side of the fisheries contro
versy now being argued (be!'ore the
Hague arbitration tribunal. ;
Certain reports have been widely
published in the Canadian press and
have received attention In this coun
try that the United States govern
ment had sent out instructions to
sealers hunting in Hudson Bay that
they were not required to pay a cer
tain license exacted by Canada. Tne
Idea, it Is said,' is to involve the state
department here in another contro
versy as to whether or not Hudson
Bay was an open sea, and stir up
other questions to the prejudice of
the case 'now being heard by the
Hague court.
The state department refused to
take notice of the reports and'insists
that there Is nothing before the de
partment concerning the matter.
. Assistant Secretary of State Hunt
ington Wilson when asked about the
case alluded to by the Canadian preS3
hunted through the flies of the state
department but could find nothing
bearing on the question. ; He stated
that the department was not aware
that there was any fight on between
this country and Canada concerning

Jeffries in defeat retains much of
his popularity now linged with a
pity .that is as bitter .as: gall' to him.
In the hearts of the sporting frater
nity he appears today to be held sec
only only to John L. Sullivan among
the men who iiave won and lost.
No one doubts Jeffries' sincerity in
essaying to take, up the white man's
burden, yet'even. 'defeat .has brought
him a pot of money which no winner
has ever gained. On the actual re
turns of the tight Jeffries received
only $3,534 less than the giant black

Intimate friends of the promoters, j
Tex Rick'ard and Jack Gleason, de
clnred today that their profits, even
allowing for the $25,000 or more lost
through changing the scene of the go
" h '
from San FraiJZy would be well
above' $200,000. The arena itself
cost about $30,000, and the expenses
of staging the bout, coupled with the
cost of the training camps to the
principals, makes another $100,000.
When an attempt is made to com
pute the total outlay by. the specta
tors, the sums get so prodigious that
doubt is engendered, in spite of cau
tious checking over. With seat prices
ranging from $10 to $50, the average
was $22.50 to each of the 16,000 in
the crowd. Thousands came from the
east and foreign countries. Famine
prices reigned in Reno. Although an
average of $100 expenses to each
spectator, it would seem that they
alone spent $1,600,000 on the big
mill.
Compution of the great sums spent
by newspapers and news associations
to cover the fight, sending reporters
and photographers from every large
city, and paying heavy telegraph
tolls, it is evident that the contest,
first and last, cost about as much to
cover as a national political conven
tion, if not more.
The amounts received by the fight
ers were increased by the $10,000
bonus given each, which was not an
nounced till almost the moment the
men entered the ring.
"I'd have willingly' given up the
bonus and a lot besides to have land
ed -a winning punch," said Jeffries,
sorrowfully today.
The boiler-maker arose somewhat
stiff from the ordeal, and his face was
still swollen and discolored this
niorning. Dr. W. S. Porter examined
him again and declared that there
was nothing radically wrong. His
wife seems ,to feel the defeat more
than he does. She sobbed today
every time the fight was mentioned.
His corps of rubbers under the di
rection of Roger Cornell, worked
hard to get the stiffness out of the
big fellow's muscles. v
- His face is still scarred, the Hps
being cracked and his forehead open.
Early in the day a string of auto
mobiles began to arrive at Jeffries'
headquarters, each filled with friends
of the deieated fighter. Yesterday
but a few ot Wif 'closest Wends, went
out to cheer up the old time ring he
ro. Jeffries received them calmly.
One of them was big Tim Sulilvan,

covered from the effects of the heat
but was taking things easy, under the
guidance of intimates from Tammany

Hotel Golden this morning, preparing
for his departure for the east as he
had originally planned, later in the
day.
Those who thought that the limit
of mining town festivities had been
reached before the fight saw a real
old time western whirl last night.

It is estimated that fully $500,000

Reno, Nev., July 5 Jim Jeffries
finished up his pugilistic career by.
playing the part of Jack Monroe in
that : thrilling melodrama, "Tna
White Man's Hope."
For the past six years Jack Monroe
has been the gent the Jokestera work
ed on. It was he, the Butte Miner,
who put up that ham fight with Jef
fries in Frisco six years-ago. Poor
Jack, how they laughed at him, what
a joke he was in the eyes of the fight
fans. . '
Yesterday James J. Jeffries waB as

I have ever seen In my life.

ever care to read about. Jim Jeffries,
the "bear man," the "white moun
tain," "the shaggy monster," wag a
newspaper tiger. The gong sounded
and he was through. . y 1 -
His bear-like rush, his rib-breaking
jolts, his bull ferocity, they were left
In the dressing room. He met the
big colored bear cat and he met
fighter. Johnson was as cool as an .
iceberg. He had the fight he longed
for six years to get and his confidence
was unbounded. He wanted Jeffries
to have everything his little heart;
desired, so that there'd be no holler
after the thing was over. When
Sam Berger asked him to toss a coin
for corners ; Johnson said: "Help
yourself. Take that one over there
so that Jim can have his back to the
sun. I'll sit in the other corner. I
don't mind a bit. I don't want to
toss."':'.' '''.:, .
Jeffries took that corner with his
back to the sun and Johnson took the
other.
Jeffries said that they should not
shake hands nor pose for ': photo
graphers before the fight. Johnson
said very well and waited for, the
gong. The Jeffries people had no
kick coming so far as courtesies were
concerned. All Johnson wanted was
to have the bear man face him in a
twenty-four foot ring. Ho had his
wish and all that went along with
said wish.
Jeffries was no harder than- Tommy
Burns. He was no tougher than
Ketchel nor stronger than Kaufniau.
It was all play for the colored follow
from the start to the finish. -.
He took things easy, that big black
cat. . -'
The poor white mouse just faded
and faded until there was no more
life in it. The mouse simply flopped
to the floor helpless, bleeding and
sick at heart. Jeffries really
thought lie was a bear man for
awhile. He swung hard and tried to
rought it but a bit later thought that
the hug and walk around stuff was
more to his liking and as long as the
referee said nothing nor touched
either man, continued to hug. "C)ult .
loving me," Bald Johnson, as he
looked down into Jeffries' face,
"Never mind," said the bear man,
"I'll give you all the loving you want
before I'm through with you." ,
He really thought he had a mark
and took the left jabs on the ntijse
and mouth without a whimper, feel- ,
Ihg all the time that, like Corbett or .,
Ruhlin, this fellow, too, would told
