Follow ing the knowledge here of the break iu the ranks of those who have controlled the Independent Telephone situation in Indiana, Illinois it is stated tonight by persons said to be well informed, that the indications are rjng that a story will comd out of New Yolk in few days of a big Ueiii between either tbe Western Union or the Postal Telegraph Company and cer tain telephone concerns.

JStifcl is said to be backed by St. Louis capital which controls tho tele phone situation in Illinois and Missouri, with considerable influence iu Indiana and Ohio.

Because of an agreement between the Bell Company and the Western Union several years ago, the Bell cannot enter the telegraph field. Nearly 210,000 coin cards have been sent out this year by the Young People's Missionary Department of the Methodist Episcopal boards of Home and Foreign Missions, in furtherance of, tb plan to promote in the Sunday Schools such regularity in giving as shall insure a million dollars' annually for missions from these schools.

WINS FINISH FIGHT Theatrical Managers Are Festering Jeff With Offers of Dead Oodles of Coin to Go on the Stage Fight Looks Like California. New York, Oct. 30. Following the signing of the agreement between Jan.

J. Jeffries and Jaok Johnson to fight for tlig world's heavyweight championship by July 6 of next year, offers are already pouring in to the managers from athletic elubs and individual promoters who wish to- handle the greatest attraction of modern pugilism, One offor of has been received from promoters in Centralia, Washington, A second offer, $75,000, guaranteed, has arrived from Hid Hester of the Mission Athletic Club, Sao Francisco. A third guarantee $60,000 an( some additional inducements to holV the hijC fight in Cbico, California. That other offers and probably even larger ones will be forthcoming, and will be filed according to the regulations of the agreement as signed yesterday, is certain. In the meantime Sam Berger gases wistfully down Broadway.

Would Fight In New "If only some dispensation of Providence could be obtained to allow the contest within reach of New York ana' its millions," is spoken as plainly by attitude as though he used the words. Even the suggestion tonight of a floating arena which might be towed to soa beyond the jurisdiction of the Eastern Slate restrictions, brought a momentary 'gleam to Berger 's eye. "We could' not g't a ship big enoiiorh," hp sighed. "Tn the meantime Jeff will remain in New York for at least, three weeks. Since the signing of article, theater managers have ben keeping wiring offers for theatrical engagements, "Soft money," such as has never appeared in the wildest dreams of the triumphant pugilist, now confronts the big men, $2,000, a week is being offered for the attraction of Jeff.

"We will probably appear in New York for a week, beginning November 8, "snid Berger tonight. "Beyond that our plans are somewhat vague. Of course, we will go back to California in the, near future, There is a possi bility that some engagement may be ac. cepted whjch wp can All on the trip West, but there is nothing definite," he said. Looks Like California.

Asked where he thought th fight would take place, Berger replied: "It looks like Califfiniia. California amV Nevada are the only States I know if where ft finish fight can be polled off, and this is surely going (o be a finish flodit. Out Wast there may be plenty of efforts. The Washington offer of $125,000 though, I am afraid can't De accepted. There is a Stat? law there which will block up the finish fight.

Nevada is a little quiot, so it looks like California." Tomorrow Johnson leaves for Chicago where he must face action in a civil suit on Monday. Little will follow bim on Monday or No definite arrangements have yet been made by the men for theatrical appearances. But these will probably be arranged during the week.

"Smith most favorably Impressed all who met him- He Is rather short, but stocklly, athletically built, and looks like a man who knows how to handle men and who Intends to do so when he has the authority.

He stated Saturday that ss he had Just signed his own contract he wns unable to give even tbe faintest Idea as to what his plans would be, "'That silly story printed that I hsve given out a statement that the Atlnnln club officials were sore at me and had let me out as manager because I refused to draw a closer tlnish ond thus attract more crowds to the games will necessitate my attendance at Memphis next week In order to answer the charges made against me. I do not anticipate any trouble at all after I make my s'de of the case clear. 'I want to state here that I Intend to put the best team that ciln he obtained Into operation In Buffalo. I am luckily In the friendship of such men as Connie Slack of Philadelphia, Hugh Duffy of Chicago. Hughey Jennings nf Detroit.
