Jeffries In Oakland Oakland, Cal., July 6. James J. Jef fries arrived in Oakland this morning In a private car. He was taken in an automobile to a hotel and immediately secluded himself, even declining to see old friends who called to extend per sonal condolences. Jeffries will leave for Los Angeles tomorrow evening and will go at once to his ranch. The big fighter still shows the marks of his encounter. His face is badly marked, his lips swollen and cut, and his right eye is almost closed. He walks with his head low, indicating in every line of his big body a feeling of sadness. His spirit seems to be gone. Jeff Is Surly. Jeffries refused to answer the a- I sertion of Muldoon and others that lie was "all in" before he ever entered the ring. Surly and taciturn, the big fight er maintains almost absolute silence, which his brother. Jack, and hisgfffflfe are unable to break. Jefrries refuses' to look at a paper, it is said, andfsnaps angrilv at anyone who offers a word of criticism of his tactics during the fight. "My steam was gone; I knew it in the fourth round: I tried to f igrTrv but couldn't," he has said once or twice since his defeat, but of the reasons which led up to this condition, he re fuses to talk. r Crowdr Rushiiijr Out.f r i - Reno, Nev..

Concord, where "the embattled farmers stood." whatever that should mean, and "Fired the shot heard 'round the world." Not a soul at the station. The train pulled out as though gladto be rid of me and left me standing oh the aban doned platform as lone as Lot's wife. I packed my "grip" a half mile over the crunching snow. Coming to a caravan sarie upon which a sign read "Thereau House," 1 found the door locked and none Inside to open it. Exerting my strength, I roughed my way In.

LL i null Humidity in the Air, Little Breeze Stirring; Typical "Back East" Night. TUESDAY HOT AS ANY THIS SUMMER Whew, it's hot! It was and Is hot. Even an absolute void of clothing makes little difference. It's hot in El Paso for the first time in years. While the delicate thermometer up in the Southwestern building where" the government weather dispensary is located only showed 101 degrees as Tuesday's maximum, even that was pretty high. That point was reached on official thermometers at 5 p. m. But, of course, it was much hotter down in the street,, and few persons live as high as a skj-scraper. June D was the only other day this year as hot as Tuesday. The real test came last night. There was little air stirring, an early even ing wind subsiding into an almost dead calm. Front verandas were occupied by many sleepless ones, and sleeping porches seemed little in advance of Turkish bath rooms. Tho minimum was reached at 5:30 Wednesday morning, when the government glass read SI. Last , night at S oclock It was 95: at 10 It was 93; at 12 it was 91; at 2 it was. SS; at 4 it was S6. Old timers are saying that it is the hottest night for a score of years, not hot in degrees, but hot in feeling, which, after all, is the only important thing. Everybody blames it on the "humidity in the atmosphere," because it was cloudv and still, just like "back east." But Col. Lane, the government weather dopist, .pays that the humidity is not so very high. It stood at 2C this morning, still the weather last night felt just like a "back east" night sticky, hot, close. While eastern cities are ' the thrall of literally killing heat, dealing out sunstroke and death. El Paso may be considered fortunate. Not a single ca lamity has been reported. Nothing has been lost except the public's temper. DRAGGED BY BURRO, LAD MAY NOT LIVE Brownwood, Texas, July C. The slxyenrold son of J. S.
