Their training finished for the world's championship battle on -Monday. Jack Johnson and Jess Willard rested today with only a stiff walk this morning. Neither is down to normal fighting weight, and in consequence both will abstain from taking liquids until afternoon on Mon-day. According to statements, they have taken no liquids the past two days. Johnson spent his leisure hours in packing up, to leave after the fight for Martinique and thence to France or South America. The last word from him was: "Tell the fans I am in perfect condition and sure of Winning." He says he will weigh 225 pounds and looks ten pounds heavier. The gong sounds at 12:30. Willard lounged on the plaza and listened to the band concert and re tired early. He shows no signs of won-y and says he expects to heat Johnson any - way the negro fights. The total sale of tickets amounts to $80,000 and the sale of $50,000 more at the ring tomorrow is expected. Johnson's backers at best offer six to five. Everybody is afraid to bet big money. The promoters announce they will pay Johnson $30,000 at 11 o'clock Monday morning in accordance with their agreement. o - VIEWPOINT MATTERED "What's wheat worth now?"

Annual Benefit tor Sick Fund . at Patrick Hall Tli is E vciii lit? A rra uuv nients Are All Completed for Affair The. Typographical Tango tonight! once a year there is an occasion in the lives of the Phoenix "prints" when they step the light fantastic tor char ity'fl sake, and collect large bunches of scads for the most worthy of purposes. Tonight the Phoenix Typographical union holds its annual dam e at Patrick hali with all the trimmings and a lot of enthusiasm. First, about the purpose of the dance. It is to raise funds with which to care for the sick and discouraged (finan cially) of the union, who come to Ari zona because they cannot stand the higher climate at the Colorado home of the international union. l'hoenix is about the only place in the world where the local maintains a fund for the benefit of its sick coworkers. About a thousand dollars a year is the sum spent in keeping the down-and-out members who come to the land of sunshine, of this, the dance brings in by far the largest part the rest comin? from subscriptions taken among the more fortunately situated members of the union. The dance will start tonight with a grand march, which is to begin at 9. Hesse's orchcestra will furnish the muidc. Refreshments will be dis pensed as at all previous typographical balls. The committee ' in charge is com posed of Tom Adams, chairman: Harry Broderiek'and Clyde L. Timbcrlake. At a' meeting yesterday this committee, together with its sub-committees, made all the arrangements, so the fireworks await only the match. TO END WHITE SLAVERY CHARGED HIM OVERTIME Wilson Barrett used to tell an amusing story against hmiself. At a time when he had a lot of work men redecorating, his private resi dence, thinking to give them a treat, he asked , if after wrk one evening they would like to have seats to go and see him play in "The Lights o' London" at the Princess Theater. They said they didn't- mind if they did, and being; complimentary tickets, all went on a Saturday night to see their employer's performance. At the end of the week Barrett's eye caught sight of this item against each workman's name on the pay sheet: "Saturday night. Four hours' overtime at Princess' Theater, eight shillings." Tit-Bits.

Thi ef forts of this association were about to bear fruit when the outbreak of the European war upset all co-oper.i-tion in the European diplomatic a. d consular corps. Last October, however, the otto man authorities abrogated the Capit ulations under which foreigners lwd enjoyed their privileged position in the empire, and although the foreign powers have not accepted this abro gation, the entrance of Turkey into the war has caused a general acqui escence. The time for the Tii-Ki.m! authorities to attack white slaver.- in the capital had therefore come. The control of the police is in the hands of Hedri Bey, who for the past year has been in active accord with Am bassador Slorgentliau in his effort to purge Cmistainople of the wjist phases of white slavery. Hedri Cev has for some months been gathering exnience against the cadets in the city. Over a score of them had their foyer in a quasi synagogue in the most notorious quarter of Galata on the Goiden Horn. The synagogue was independent of the Grand Ri'-r binate of Turkey and thus was 'able, to escape religious investigation, in January Bedri Bey's officers descend ed upon the synagogue and .-losed its doors. They likewise raided the places of the ca'lets and arrested no of them. ON- THE BRIDGE T stood on the bridge at midnight, and looked at the sizzling town, where the. pleasure seeking people were holding the sidewalks down. The moon rose over the city and shone on the dames and gents, but the glare of the lights electric made it look lik,. twenty cents. The windows of homes were darkened.for no one was staying there; the children, as well, as grownups, were 'all in the C,rea.t White Glare. Deserted -were all the firesides, abandoned the old time game: alas, that the old home circle is naught but an empty name! The father is out chug-chugging, the motner is at her club, the kids see the moving pictures, and go to hotels for grub. How often, oh. how often, in the davs that' seemed s-oorl tn a have I looked at the children playing ot nome. where they ought to be! How often, how often, in thou. Hco of the proper stamp, have I gazed on tne parents reading, at home, by the evening lamp! But the world has gone to thunder, forgotten that elder day; and I took up the bridge and broke it, and threw all the chunks away.
