No pen can write and no tongue can paint the true story of the great prize fight for the championship belt of the world, between John Arthur Johnson and James J. Jeffries, and how the latter was put fast to sleep at Reno Nevada, in the fifteenth round and for the first time in his whole splendid fighting career Jeffries was knocked down three times in his combat with Johnson, falling on the outside of the ropes limp and cold, he proved himself to be nothing more than a big man of straw, in the presence of the great and untamed and unconquered fighting lion who stood up before him looking him square in the eye, jolting him in the jaw and blackening his eye at the same time, and at no stage of the fight did Jeffries have the slightest chance to snatch the championship belt from its past and its present holder and to the great astonishment of those who know nothing about the fighting qualities of the Negro, from its beginning to its end, Johnson did not display the "yellow streak" so much talked about by the Gov. of Cal, the fight fans, the short stop white newspaper writers and the public in general, aside from the Colored people, who falsely labored under the impression that with his great fighting record Jeffries would say Johnson out cold and stiff with one or two of his terrific body blows and that no Negro could look him or any other white man in the eye and live thereafter. It is useless to dwell on the progress of the fight round for round on up to the fifteenth round how Jeffries had his face cut to pieces by the powerful right and left upper and lower cuts and well directed blows from the man born in Texas, how Johnson rushed at him like a madened tiger-hot from the jungles of Africa, how Jeffries spat blood like a stuck hog, how he staggered back to his corner HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY and fell on the outside of the ropes, how he stumbled around in the ring like a half drunken man, how he sank to his knees weak and utterly wore out and was unable to pull himself up again at the count of nine, how Johnson, at this point stood over him, practically unhurt in any way ready to finish him, how the twenty thousand spectators who witnessed the fight cried out in pain and distress "stop it, stop it, don't let him be knocked out," how, Jeffries' backers and seconds violated the well established rules of the ring by rushing into it in a vain effort to save the day and turn utter defeat into victory, how Tex Rickard declared Johnson the winner and the undisputed champion, has become a part of the history of the world. Since the termination of the fight the whole civilized world has stood agast at the cool steady nerve and boldness of the new gladiator, and it is the firm opinion of all the big chiefs of the prize ring that his sledge hammer blows well and scientifically directed, can wing any man on the face of the earth. Following the tip or the dope of the able and brainy Gov. of Cal., that the fight was a "frame up" that "Johnson had a weak back and that like any common Negro he would lay down or would be bought off for money" and his wild talk caused the greater bulk of the white sporting men to be guided by false sentiment and they went busted by placing their money on their defeated idol, while on the other hand the Colored sporting element raked in lots of money by laying it down on Johnson. Notwithstanding this fact the twenty thousand sports who witnessed the memorable fight believed in fair play and they displayed far more tolerance than the preachers and the so-called Christians who hated to see the black CHICAGO, JULY 9. 1910. Samson win and who think it is a burning shame and an everlasting disgrace for a Negro prize fighter to knock out a white prize fighter. There has been great rejoicing on the part of the Colored people throughout the United States, over the outcome of the fight, and many of them feel that they have not been forsaken by their Lord. Some of the pin-headed city and state officials in various sections, of the country; will not permit the moving pictures illustrating the progress of the fight, to be exhibited in their respective cities and states. Many members of the so-called superior-race, have vented their spite and bitterness against the Colored people because they were on the losing side. The conquering hero was welcomed to his home in this city on Thursday afternoon by thousands and thousands of his admiring friends both white and Colored, and when he alighted from the "Overland Limited" at the Northwestern depot at about two o'clock the police would not permit him to enter his new 90 mile per hour auto, and they the police, in order to make it appear that there might be a race riot rushed him into a one horse cab, and forced its driver to drive at a rapid speed and get entirely away from Robert T. Motts, Major John C. Buckner, B. F. Moseler, Dan M. Jackson, E. Johnson, George W. Holt, Louis B. Anderson, Charles Jackson, Alexander Stephens, and the other members of the reception committee, who occupied the twenty-five or more autos which were in evidence at the depot. Shortly before the arrival of the train the long line of autos headed by Col. "Bob" Motts, left the Pekin Theater, 27th and State streets, where thousands of people had swarmed all day long, cheerfully waiting to send up a mighty about for the unwhipped A.

This was true when Jack Johnson and the members of his reception The greatest arrived in Chica at Reno, Nevada MR. JOHNSON RETURNS Mr. John Arthur Johnson, king of fisti-cuists, is restored to the affectionate arms of his tumultuous kinsfolk and of those of his fellow townsmen who, after all, according to the recent announcement, of Prof. W. L. Hamilton of the University of California, are tanned members of the Caucasian race. As Little Arthur said when the Negro soldiers of the Ninth cavalry endeavored to run away with him in their joy at Cheyenne, "it is a great thing to make so many people happy." Never mind the manner. It is a great thing anyway. Little Arthur has grown rich, healthy, happy, and famous in a profession which causes exceeding distress to many people whose occupations are peaceful and whose dispositions are candid. It is a profession which cannot be defended, but there are reservations in intelligent criticism. It was not many years ago that a lightweight and a heavyweight boxer from an eastern American university went to London to meet English university champions in the ring. They fared badly, being either outpointed or knocked out. It is to be remembered that when Theodore Roosevelt's Harvard biography rated him as the champion heavyweight boxer of his class the veracity of this statement was sharply questioned by a classmate, who seemed to prove in his argument that Mr. Roosevelt was only a fair boxer, and that at least one man in the class could put him away. The colonel's subsequent distress was not caused by the biographer, who committee arrived at his elegant home 3344 Wabash avenue, which was surrounded by thousands of people both white and Colored, and no insulting remarks were uttered by anyone, in fact the home coming of Jack Johnson, was transformed into a long to be remembered holiday, and no one entering this city ever received a warmer welcome by it scitizens than the black king of the fistic ring. JOHN ARTHUR JOHNSON. best living prize-fighter in the world, as cago, after he had successfully put Jame ia. was suspected of being himself, but by the challenge of his ability. It would be useless to ask the average man if he would care to be expert with his fists. He would be proud of the accomplishment. The science itself can be defended. The conditions governing the fighting game cannot, and the pugilists cannot, except as perfect human machines. It is this perfection which commands the admiration of men whose respectability cannot be questioned. A top-notch prize fighter as he steps in the ring is a marvel of healthy human development and of skill, a marvel admired by all persons who have any knowledge of what differentiates him from the unconditioned, untrained average man. He must be, for the time being, at least, clean throughout or his shift is short. Almost invariably he is stupid in everything except his ring knowledge, heavy in the head as he is light on his feet, and, in the most cases, easily inclined to disreputability. But he is a perfect machine, showing the possibilities of muscular development. The fighting game in itself attracts all the gentry who live by violation of law, a motley crew of life's river rats. Their association would kill even a sanctioned sport. There will be no repelling if the Reno fight be the last, but it is just as well to understand why respectability can admire certain qualities produced by the profession of fistulcus and why it is necessary for The Tribune to announce that "owing to the extraordinary demand for the pink sporting section of The Tribune of No.40 This the last great prize fight settles none of the serious problems which confront the American people, and if the vast majority of the whites and the blacks still desire to feast on pork chops, fried chicken, watermelon, ride in automobiles, and live in fine palaces, they will have to hustle for the money to maintain themselves, regardless of the outcome of the Jeffries and Johnson prize fight. us he appeared when he mes J.

With all the beautiful "foats" that was in that grand pageant July 4th, not one was there to represent the "Progress of the Negro Race." Have we lost all race pride or have we none? We talk about race prejudice, lack of opportunity to display what we do know and have accomplished, but, still when that opportunity presents itself it is not grasped, but when it came to display of our "spirit of pugnacity" no greater demonstration was ever put forth in the "animals of history" than that given to Jack Johnson. Of course it is indeed a wonderful thing to know that a Negro holds the first place in some one thing in the world, but why not put forth the same efforts, and demonstrate to the other race that we are capable to produce of pugilistic champion, just as capable are we to produce persons and things in other lines. of the unassured and in devine ed fog and unassured mountainous and fog and unassured mountainous A The black Samson as he looked when he entered the Ring July 4, at Reno, Nevada, and looked James J.

"Directions for living and sleeping in the open air," is the title of a phamphlet being sent out today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to its representatives in all parts of the United States. The pamphlet is meant to be a handbook of information for anybody who desires to sleep out of doors in his own home. It emphasizes the fact that outdoor sleeping is as desirable for the well as for sick. The booklet will be sent free of charge to anyone applying for it at the headquarters of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in New York, or to the secretary of any local or state anti-tuberculosis association. Some of the subjects of which the pamphlet treats are, how to take the open-air treatment in a tenement house; how to build a small shack or cabin on a flat roof in the city; how to make one comfortable while sleeping outdoors either in hot or cool weather; how to arrange a porch on a country house; and how to build a cheap porch; the construction of tents and tent houses; the kinie of beds and bedding to use in outdoor sleeping, and various other topics. The book is well illustrated and attractively prepared. The object of the book is to suggest particularly to consumptives who cannot secure admission to a sanatorium how they can be treated at home under the direction of a physician. In view of the fact that there are less than 25,000 hospital beds in the United States for consumptives and fully 300,000 who should be in hospitals, the National Association urges that more attention be paid to sleeping in properly provided places at home, and that in every case the MOEINHOI SUNTRA WH TEE MOEINHOI HW HUR JOHNSON. when he entered the ring July 4, at Jeffries in the eye, while dealing him below his tabo to lead old durne brown hair, budd ango bus best he made of the patients environmen most new ours ago sld SAVING CHICAGO BABIES. The summer baby campaign this summer is based on the idea of having one nurse to one baby, and that every baby shall be cared for. The center of this campaign is the Baby Register. Owing to bad laws, we do not even know where the babies are in Chicago. By desperate efforts, Dr. Evans has brought up the birth register through work with midwives. Eleven different organizations register babies with this central register. The heaviest contributors are the Health Department, the Visiting Nurse Association and the United Charities. The cases are sorted by wards and then nurses sent into the fields to instruct the mothers, and to care for every baby. Sick babies can be reported to any settlement, to the stations of the Milk Commission or to any nurse in the field. Care will be provided in every neighborhood, in tents, free of charge. The babies will be kept there through the day and returned to their homes at night. The nurses in the field will also have ice-boxes for distribution and free ice where the babies are sick. Efforts will be made to teach the mothers in groups, the lectures being given by physicians who speak foreign languages. These will be given in the halls of churches, settlements, and at the tents. Lectures can be arranged for by any group of people who wish for them, by applying to the Health Department. These lectures are illustrated by lantern slides. PRIZE BABY RALLY. St. George Commandery Guild No. 4. will give a Prize Baby Rally entertainment at Masonic Hall. 3956 State street. Monday evening, July 25th. 1810. All babies in the contest will be given a bank account in Jesse Biuga's Bank. Good music by Bowman's Orchestra; admission 25 cents. Mrs. R. E. Moore, chairman; Mrs. M. E. Bish, secretary. CHICAGO BATHING PLACES. Chicago has by far, too few free bathing beaches, considering the fact that it has nearly 30 miles of lake front. At present, however, there are two, one located at 26th St., and the other at 70th St. The Lincoln Park Board has a free bathing beach at the foot of Diversey Blvd., there is also one maintained by the South Park Board at Calumet Park between 99th and 105th Sts. In addition to the bathing beaches there are 17 free public baths, where free showers are given. These are located as follows: SOUTH SIDE: 3825 Wentworth Ave., 2839 Halsted St., 3346 Emerald Ave., 4647 Gross Ave., 4226 Wallace St., 14th St. and Indiana Ave. WEST SIDE: 2133 Grund Ave., 1141 W. Chicago Ave., 19 S. Peoria St., 759 Mather St., 1849 Throop St., 1217 S. Union St., 1911 W. 20th St. NORTHWEST SIDE: 1153 Gault Ct., 1444 Holt Ave., 2415 Marshfield Ave. Then there are the shower baths at the parks and field houses, which, like the public baths, are free and available to all who care to use them. DON'T FORGET. Give the baby a drink of water several times a day. Babies often cry from thirst. Parks are the best places for the babies these hot days. Don't neglect the baby's bath. Keeping its skin clean, together with clean milk and right feeding, will keep the baby well. Dress the baby lightly when the weather is hot. Napkin and binder are all that it needs.

WATER FOR THE DOG. Human thoughtlessness is nowhere emphasized more sharply than in the general failure to provide better facilities for the relief of thirst among the animals of the city, observes the Denver Republican. The city of Mexico has a law. al most a century old, requiring storekeepers and business men in general to keep pans of fresh water in the doorways of their business establishments for the relief of dogs. The law was secured through the efforts of the kind-hearted women of the city, and in consequence Mexico City never has a mad dog "scare," and hydrophobia is unknown and muzzles are unnecessary. In enlightened America, in sharp contrast with "barbarous Mexico," when and where is provision made for man's friend, the dog? Only a small proportion of public drinking fountains are so constructed that dogs can drink from them, and the thirsty dog must wander disconsolately about until his sufferings become so acute that he is pronounced mad, and the usual tragedy is the result. The matter is one that can be regulated without the aid of law. Let the householder spare a thought for the dog, as well as for the horse. A pan of water under the hydrant in the yard will attract attention, and perhaps will be the means of preventing another one of those "scares" which speak so ill for public common sense. In summer never let the pan, provided for the household pets, be empty. One will be astonished, if he observes closely, at the number of times an animal will drink during the day.

Mrs. Julia E. Greer, of Cincinnati, O., returned to her home, Wednesday, July 6, accompanied by her little nephew, Master Vernon N. Johnson. Mrs. Greer, spent a very pleasant time with her niece, Mrs. D. W. Johnson. She took many pleasure trips, sight seeing in various parts of the city. Wednesday evening Mr. John W.

He will visit Norway, Sweden, England, Germany and France. Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller, of the United States Supreme Court, who passed away at his summer home in Maine, Monday, July 4, was laid to rest by the side of his wife, in Graceland cemetery in this city Friday afternoon, his remains were accompanied to Chicago by members of the Supreme Court, which he so ably presided over for more than twenty years, and all courts both federal and state were closed while the leading members of the Chicago Bar Association the Judges, old friends and associates followed his remains to their final resting place. The board of Directors of the Appomattox Club have decided upon Monday, Jul 25th as the day and date for their 8th Annual Picnic. Fox River Grove has been selected as the place, and the trains will leave from the Nortwestern Station Corner Wells and Kinzie streets. The prices have been fixed at $1.00 for adults and fifty cents for children, between the ages of five and twelve years. This is expected to be the social event of the season. Time of departure and return of trains will be announced in this column later. Master Frank Jordan Woods, the talented violinist, 5032 Armour Avenue, recently returned from a six months engagement with the Byron Brothers in touring the Western States, celebrated his 18th birthday last Friday evening.

Cuban Negroes Seek Legal Redress. The Negro situation in Cuba has recently assumed some very important phases. A large number of Negroes Sol Livingston, formerly of the real estate firm of Landridge and Livingston, 4742 State street, is doing a rushing business, since he broke away from his partner and started in for himself at 4711 State street. He makes a specialty of handling South side real estate, renting, and loaning money on good real estate security. He always has on hand, first class real estate mortagages, for sale. In the past ten or twelve years, Mr. Livingston, has sold a great number of houses and cottages to Colored people and he still transacts much real estate business with them. Mr. L. P. Lee, who is known to more Colored people, than any other real estate agent, in the Town of Lake, is connected with Mr. Livingston, and he would be pleased to have his many Colored friends who want to secure good bargains in real estate to call on him.

Feeling the need of some refreshments, I happened to enter the Netherwood, and there amid a profusion of roses and many Colored Electric Lights, in fact the entire Color Line that of a night in some beautiful garden, if one did not happen to glance under foot at the beautiful oriental carpet, I enjoyed a delicious sandwich, and a glass of lemonade, listening at the same time to the delightful strains of music from the throats of such able performers, as Miss Nettle Lewis, Mr. Wm. Abel and Mr. Lou Curtes. Everything form the gracious Miss Bessie Johnson lady attendant to the efficient service from a well selected set of waiters, pertaining to this charming well ordered place is suggestive and reflective of the very genial host, Mr. Howard Bilehl. The tone and character of the patrons present, makes one think that Chicago is at last ready to serve where service is demanded. Dinner For Y. M. C. A.

The dinner will be held at the branch, 405 Carlton avenue, on Wednesday evening, June 15. It will be an invitational affair. The object of the gathering, aside from its social features, is to lay before the citizens of Brooklyn the necessity of the work from a business standpoint. Stop Useless Extravagances.

Cuban Negroes Seek Legal Redress. The Negro situation in Cuba has recently assumed some very important phases. A large number of Negroes who were arrested some time ago have refused to be released on bail, claiming the right of free speech. General Freyse Andrade, secretary to former President Palma, has offered to defend the prisoners in their claim to be heard, and the situation now looks dark for the administration forces. VAN DORN WINS HIS CASE. Court Gives Aged Afro-American Clear Title to His Property. Justice Aspinali of the Queens county supreme court, New York, has decided that Primus Vorn Dorn, an aged Afro-American, is entitled to his home, which he has owned for forty-four years in Jamaica, N. Y. The land in question consists of four and a quarter acres and is valued at $15,000. Mr. Van Dorn paid $50 for it in 1866. He is now in the eighty-eighth year of his age. He is the son of a slave who was set free by his master in New Jersey and who afterward moved out on Long Island. The family settled in the Springfield section, which was then almost in the heart of a wilderness, midway between Jamaica and Far Rockaway. The family continued to reside on the place, and in 1856 young Van Dorn, then of age, married and purchased a plot from John Conselyea. The deed conveyed one and a quarter acres, more or less. The boundary was a little stream which has since dried up. As the years went by and the small water barrier was removed Van Dorn, who was engaging in farming pursuits, was a little careless of the amount of land he cultivated. No one fold him to stop, and he worked a section containing nearly five acres. He testified that he has held adverse possession ever since, and in this he was corroborated by others. No one paid attention to him, because the land was not considered worth while bothering about. Recently, however, all the section around has been developed, and the value of the land rose. Then some of the heirs of the former John Conselyes decided to evict Mr. Van Dorn and gain possession of the land; but, having held it so long, he fought back. In the case that was submitted to the court all the facts were agreed upon, and it left but a question of law for the court to decide to whom the property belonged.
