|| JEFFRIES "DOPED."
(Not Nervous Collapse in Fight With
Johnson.
Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 7.?That
James J. Jeffries entered the ring'
with Jack Johnson, at Reno, July 4,!
a drugged man and not a man suffer- j
ing from nervous collapse, is the pith i
of a signed article by Barney Old- J
field, which will be published here;
to-morrow and which has been au-j
thorized by the defeated champion, i
Jeffries, however, will not allow j
. the details concerning the alleged;
drugging to be published at this j
time, Oldfield says.
According to Oldfield, Jeffries took j
him into his confidence during a re-j
cent hunting trip in the Sierras.
Oldfield's statement is in part as.
follows:
"Mental or nervous collapse, Jeff
explained, would not have affected'
' him physically for weeks after the
fight. The poison which was given
him affected his stomach afterward,
and for a month he could scarcely
retain solid food. His favorite dish>/
es did not possess any charm of
taste and his whole body seemed as
if stricken with rheumatism. When
he began to get over the effects of
the 'dope' he felt like a convalescent.
He was positive it was no tempo
rary mental or nervous trouble. I
begged him to let me give to the
world all the information' he possessed,
but he said he would rather
have it come out from another
source. He is firm in the belief that
the details will all come out within
a year or so.
Pledged to Secrecy.
"Jeffries pledged me to secrecy
about the details of the treachery
and what he had been able to learn.
'He told me I was the only man who
knew as much as I told you. I promised
to aid him in getting some information
he cannot get himself.
Jeffries's story to me absolved the
members of his training camp of any
blame?that much I must say in
justice to the men who helped me
with all their heart.
"It was after Jeffries told me this
story that I. began to marvel at his
present physical condition. For the
ten days we were in the mountains
be performed stunts of endurance
that I did not think possible for any
man. Never once did bfe fail and
refuse the opportunity to scale difficult
peaks. To any man who has
ever had a bit of experience in professional
athletics, Jeffries's condition,
as he proved it day after day,
must come as a revelation."

GADSDEN GETS REHEARING.
In the Famous Lawrence Case from
Charleston.
Columbia, January 4.?Phillip H. 1
Gadsden, lawyer, president of the
Charleston Consolidated Railways,
president of the Charleston Chamber of
Commerce and Chairman of the
Equalization Board was allowed by
the Supreme Court to-day to file a
riotitirm nQkin? for a hearinsr by the
court on his professional conduct in
the famous Lawrence case, as he is
reflected upon seriously in a decree by
Judge Robert Aldrich.
At his request the court refrained
from acting on the motion presented
by Gen James Simmons, that the appeal
in the Lawrence case be dismissed
and the case remitted to the court
below for the taking of a consent
verdict.
The case involves $300,000 worth
of Charleston trolley stock and has
been compromised by a cash payment
of $95*000.
The court will later appoint a day
for the hearing and designate some
attorney to represent the State and
prescribe the mode of procedure. i
The appearance of Mr. Gadsden
before the Supreme Court to-day was
the outgrowth of the settlement of
the suit of Lawrence vs. Lawrence, :
wherebv the widow of the late Dr.
J. S. Lawrence, of Charleston, agreed
to pay over to the heirs of her husband's
half sister, Miss Mary S. Law- :
rence, the sum of $95,000 as the
relatives' share of Dr. Lawrence's j
holdings. Mr. Gadsden resisted this
settlement and announced his inten-j
tion of appearing before Supreme
Court to secure vindication of his(
conduct, criticism of which had been;
made by the judge who heard the '
case.
No case of similar nature has at-:
tracted wider attention in years than ;
the Lawrence case will. Mr. Gadsden
had Miss Mary S. Lawrence, half (
sister to Dr. Lawrence, sign away her;
x- - ? i. ootflto rtf U'hl'ph I
enure luicicot ajj. v*. ? u.vu
hid widow was administratrix, for
the sum of $500. Relatives of Miss
Lawrence, who lived in Georgia, invoked
the court to set aside the
document secured from Miss Lawrence
by Mr. Gadsden, and Judge
Aldrich, who heard the matter, severely
scored the Charleston attorney
and financier for his part in the affair.
Mr. Gadsden is largely interested
in the traction company of
Charleston, and it was largely
through his efforts that the property
has been brought to a high efficiency.
Dr. Lawrence owned 9,200 shares ?n
this company.

Mr. Gadsden was attorney for Dr.!
Lawrence's widow. Mr. Gadsden car-j
ried no one with him to see Miss
Lawrence and the signed decree was!
set aside on the grounds of fraud, j
Vindication of this charge was tr?e;
reason for Mr. Gadsden's appearance
here.
Mr. Gadsden is not only one of the!
r
leading lawyers of the State, but is;
president of the Cahreslton Consoli-;

corporations. He is prominently con- j
nected and wealthy.
NEEDED BREAD, SOLD VOTES.
Pitiful Stories Told in Ohio Election
Corruption Probe.
West Union, Ohio, January 7.? |
Footsore, ragged, half-starved and!
weary, three middle-aged men, one;
a cripple, appeared in Common Pleas
Court to-day to acknowledeg their
guilt of vote-selling. They had walked
by the light of lanterns from
Rockville, twenty-five miles distant,
to tell Judge Blair they had soldj
their votes last November in order;
to get money to provide food for!
their families.
The story of the three, John Richter,
Page Cook and Asbury Cooper,
excited the pity of the court, who
gave them a month to pay $5 fines
imposed, and disfranchised them for
five years.
The grand jui^y to-day after reporting
forty-five new indictments,
recessed until Wednesday to enable
the members to attend to private
business affairs, neglected for several
weeks.
Judge Blair believes that certain
workers are withholding some names
from the grand jury. A leader in
Monroe Township, who, on two previous
visits, could give but a few
names, to-day reappeared with a list
of twenty-five new ones, ah or tnese j
men, he said, had been bought by]
him last fall, at a price ranging from j
$ o to $ 15.
Every male elector in Billtown
township has been disfranchised, and
only women are qualified to vote at
the next election for school trustees,
and none but women will be eligible
to hold the office of trustee.
For the* first time in the history of
women's suffrage not a man will step
to the ballot-box to compete with
women voters. Three women have
already announced themselves as
candidates for trusteeships.
The probe has finished its third
week, and the results total 1,641 in- i
dictments. Of this number 1,350
have been fined and disfranchised.:
Ninety men to-day received fines and
disfranchisements. .

EJECTED FROM TRAIN.
Baptist Evangelist Put Off at Arden, ]
N. C.?Taken to Hospital.
Asheville, N. C., Jan. 6.?For failure
to produce his ticket or pay his
fare, the Rev. George Cates, a Bap- 4
tist evangelist, was forcibly ejected 1
from a Southern train at Arden, N. *
C.. vesterday morning and was *
brought into the Biltmore hospital
to-day for the treatment of injuries
which he claims to have thus received.
Mr. Cates alleges that he came to
Asheville from Canton yesterday, en
route to Hendersonville, and that he
did not have time to exchange his
mileage for a ticket, as required by
railroad regulations in this State. He
claims he offered his mileage book to
the conductor and alleges that on his
refusal to pay cash he was put off the
train and thereby sustained internal
injuries.
During the united revival services
in Columbia Rev. George Cates conducted
services in the First Baptist
church and in the State house. He
is well known in Columbia on account
of his stay in that city.

A Thrifty Pensioner.
William A Munson, notary public j
and pension agent, of Providence, R. ?
I., drew nineteen pensions regularly .
for years. The government paid ]
him about $20,000. Munson usually i
kept the pension' certificates of his j
clients in the office, and executed <
quarterly vouchers for the pension- .
ers. One by one the pensioners i
died. Munson continued to execute
the vouchers, forging the name of
the pensioner, and usually tnat or
the identifying witness. He kept .
up the practice until checks for six- ]
teen dead pensioners were regularlj
coming to him, besides cheeks for J
three pensioners who had remarried ]
and ceased to be entitled to them. 1
Among the beneficiaries was Mun- (
son's aunt. She had died in 1887, J
but he continued to draw her pen- ]
sion until 1897. He also continued 1
to draw for five years the pension 1
of his sister after she had died in \
her own home in 1892.?World's <
