It is claimed that Chicago has the class of the largest number of men here who are wealthy and have the elements of honesty, integrity and business capacity, it is believed that such an institution could be made to go. Racial enterprises are starting up freely. Those in business are largely successful. By abiding by the laws of such a business, colored people who are depositors in other banks would put their money in the proposed institution. "It would mean that all the colored churches and fraternities would deposit their money in this new institution," said a colored people who are depositors in other banks would be pleased to see such a bank in Chicago. It would reflect great credit on the Negroes of this city. It would assure further confidence among people along the business and commercial world. It would also give our competent young men and women an opportunity to employ such an institution as he gladly such an institution launched in this city. Already the Binga Bank has won the confidence of the people of this city and would be the logical bank to begin with such a gigantic institution." Dr. A. J. Cary, pastor of the Institutional church, requested that the D.C. and the representative of THE FREEMAN called to see him in his study. He said, "I have just returned from the capital city. My stay was most representative citizens, both white and colored. A large number of ministers called to see President Taft, and I was elected spokesman. I was deeply insulting the passage of the Freedman's bank. We also presented a plea, asking the President and Congress to favorably act on the National Negro "I also called to see and talked with Congressman Joseph Cannon, MacVengh, Secretary of the Treasury; Nagel, Secretary of the Department of Commerce; Senator Colum, Senator Schmidt and McKinley. It was the opinion of these gentlemen that this was one of the most critical times in the history of the race. We were assured that Mr. Cyrus Fields Adams would be retained as Assistant Register of the Treasury. I am no candidate or political office." There was no truth in the statement EX-PRESIDENT NORD ALEXIS, OF HAITI, EXPIRES IN EXILE FORMER PRESIDENT OF HAITI, WHO RULED WITH SWORD, PASSES AWAY AT KINGSTON, JAMAICA, AT THE AGE OF NINETY YEARS. 6 KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 6—Nord Alexis, a former resident of Sati, died on Monday after a long illness. His health, however, had been considerably broken by the experiences of the last year and a half after he was deposed and sent in exile. He refuge here since the revolution of 4908 and was possessed of considerably property in Kingston. A picturequeque rules were removed from that I am to go to Pittsburgh. You may say to your readers that I am in Chicago to stay; that I love institutional work. I dedicated much of my car to carpentry. I love much more members of the board of directors as Judge Elbert Hancy, Rabbi Emnic Hirch, Sam Fallows, W. J. Calhoun, Senator Lorimer and Hon. Paul G. Gorman of the U. S. These distinguished gentlemen confer with us and give us their moral support." This is Dr. Carry's twelfth year in the city of Chicago. He was 95 years at Quincy church, five years at Bethel and came to Institutional church last September. Dr. Carry is known all over this country as an able and eloquent speaker and the biggest men in the A. M. E. connection. --- Memorial exercises were held on last Sunday in memory of the late Wm. R.

He did everything possible to prolong his life from the dread disease of tuberculosis. He went to the American Hospital in New York to receive his degree. He was a brilliant young man, well educated and refined. This part of his character was beautifully brought out by Miss J. Farrall, a longtime resident of the Life of Mr. Harper, "Mr. Harper as an Artist," was the subject of H. F. French, director of the Chicago Institute of Art, address of day was that of Mr. Lorando Taft, a relative of President Taft. Miss Victoria Bondz, H. H.

Fresno, Calif., Ma. and Mrs. W. Wilson entertained last Wednesday night at their beautiful home on the bay shore in honor of their daughter, Miss Wilson. Miss Wilson had spent the day office when Nord Alexis was compelled to abdicate and ree from Hatt. Dec. 23, 1908. Por Au Prince was then in the hands of the king, and in and Antoine Simon, who afterwards became president, was marching up the peninsula with an army of 5,000 men. Nord Alexis was variously estimated at from 90 to 100 years old. He was a descendant of one of the oldest families of the king, having been educated under the care of the king, and overthrown by Halten army and his bravery soon drew him into public attention. He took part in many wars and in 1886 rebelled against Hippopotamus, and had overthrown President Legitime. Hippopotamus died the same year, while preparing to march against the rebels and he was succeeded by Gen. Sam. Nord Alexis became president in 1902. His term was to have expired May 15, 1909, some notorious footers of the national treasury had spiked widespread dignation, as it was regarded as a gross breach of precedent. Early in 1908 the movement against Alexis had gained great strength, and in March a reign of terror was suddenly in effect, some notorious footers of the national treasury sending out troops, who seized many revolutionists, even dragging them from their beds and summarily put more than a score of them to death. The number of executions, according to some reports, reached as high as 48. The war was ended by the arrival of Port au Prince and their arrival into the sea of security on the lives and property of foreigners. President Alexis achieved the double purpose of killing as many of his foes as he could lay honds on and striking terror in hearts of those who were beyond his reach. For only a few months, however, did Alexis maintain his rule. In November he ordered Gen. Antoine Simon, commander of the south for 20 years, to come to Port Au Prince and confer with him on the political situation. Gen. Simon refused to comply and took up arms against the president. His march to the capital was summoned one for the large number of towns and gardens located near his banners. With his approach to Port Au Prince the people of that city turned against their president. They surrounded the palace on the morning of Dec. 2 and took possession of the town. A large number of the soldiers yielded to the pleas of those about him and decided to take refuge on board the French warship Duguy Trouin. Away from home and on her return found a number of her young friends there. The occasion was served with palms and other flowers. A very pleasant evening was spent in games and amusements. Refreshments to suit the occasion were served in a dainty style, and an spent with a kisses Katie and Gladys Johnson, Ethel White, Cindy Sims, Ophelia Hart, Blanche Ball, Josie and Camille Horton, Anise Wynn, Misses Walton, Mr. James Townsend, Irene Wynn, Cora Davis, Messrs.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. SHORT FLIGHTS. BY R. W. THOMPSON Some of the people who do not believe any one reads Negro newspapers are awfully mad when their names are left out of the list of "those who occupied seats on the platform" or were "present" at a swell society function. * * * The Negro press is showing great wisdom and generosity in giving a large amount of space to the literature sent out by the Census Bureau. It is to the black man's interest to get all the light he can on how to present himself to the enumerators in the most favorable light. It is highly essential that we know how to answer intelligently all of the questions that will be propounded. The National Negro Bar Association, of which Counselor Albert S. White is president, will make a strong showing at the New York convention next August. Hundreds of the ablest lawyers of the race have written to Mr. White, assuring him of their sympathy and support. The New York "powwwow" bids fair to be the most notable meeting of the Negro bar that has ever been held in this country. No better time for such a meeting could have been chosen, either. * * * Recorder of Deeds John C. Dancy can felicitate himself upon the proud record of having served for sixteen years in presidential appointments, and retires from office without a single blot upon his escutcheon. The race is made stronger by having in public place men of Mr. Dancy's sturdy and unimpeachable character. THE NEW PASTOR OF SIMPSON CHAPEL J. H. H. Rev.

This is gala week for theater goers, three houses playing big colored acts: Belle Davis and her cracker-jacks at the Lions Club, the co-star with Williams and Walker next season, at the Empress, and Ten Georgia Campers at the Crystal thater. They are all storming the houses at every performance, Robinson, and daughter are at St. Werk's Robinson, and daughter are at St. Werk's * * * *** Special to THE FREEMAN: DECATUR, ILL. Special to THE FREEMAN Special to THE FREEMAN. It is our guess that he will be called to the helm again within the fewest of years. * * * The accuracy of the thirteenth census will depend largely upon the zeal the Negro takes in seeing that everything he has is listed correctly. It behooves every colored landholder and worker of every description to see that nothing escapes the eye and pen of the enumerator in his district. The enumerator is making history for us. The record he turns in will fix our status in the eyes of the world for the next ten years. *** It is a genuine pleasure to see that veteran quill-driver and champion of race progress, J. Thomas Turner, back in the regulation harness, although his pen has not been idle while engaged in the practice of the law. Mr. Turner has taken editorial charge of the Nashville Clarion, and can be depended upon to make the sparks fly in the interest of civic righteousness in the vicinity of Tenessee's historic capital. * * * Bishop Alexander Walters' "Diary," now running in the Star of Zion, is a most interesting story of his experiences in Liberia, and should be kept for preservation in some permanent form.

A constant habit of his was either to have a cigar or pipe in his mouth. What did it profit this man to gain the world fame and at the last loose his own soul? Contrasted with the death of the lamented President McKinley, who said when dying, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," is quite a different dying. "Let me die the death of the righteous" should be the aim and ambition of all the living. Big Jackson, Mayor Shank's "political mascot" during last fall campaign for the Negro votes, owes an explanation to the Negro citizens, who are beginning to think that they have been deceived. A mass meeting of the Negro citizens ought to be called and an expression by resolution or otherwise should be made indicative of the present feeling of the Negroes of this city toward the Mayor and his administration. The Mayor and Big Jackson assured the Negro citizens that elected Mr. Shank would give the Negro a square deal, and that there would be no departure from the manner of treatment by the Bookwalter administration during which it was said that the total amount paid the Negro employee out of the city treasury annually was the round sum of $100,000, and that if elected Mayor Shank would add to that sum by additional openings for the Negro, but the contrary to date is true. We have been getting it where the chicken usually gets it, in the "neck." The appointment of three new patrolmen, and the promotion of none of the old ones does not satisfy the race by a long shot. We contend for the sort of recognition which his honor promised and that in proportion to the Negroes' voting strength, or, in other words, we insist upon a "square deal." We ask for nothing more and will be content with nothing less. DIGEST OF LETTERS. Two communications from the globe trotting reporter, Chas. Stewart, one referring to Bishop Wesley J.

DEAR Co-WORKERS: In the name of the National Association of Colored Women, I address this letter to the mothers of the race. We, the mothers of the race, to our motto of, "Lifting as We Climb," appeal to all Mothers' Clubs, whether affiliated with the National Association or second Sunday, in May as oMothers' Day. Whenever a little soul is born into this world it is the mother that God gives the duty of watching, guarding and training of to children of thought, ideals and minds of thought, while also giving to memory's pages, long after subsequent events will have been forgotten. It is through the eyes of the mother that he learns to look upon the beauty of kindness and precepts, his little mind like a rosebud, unfolds, leaf by leaf, to beautiful thoughts and lofty aims implanted upon its virgin soil by her example. Mothers in your hearts show their reverence in the lives of the little innocences around you. It is for that reason, we beg of you to observe this day as a solemn pledge to place your child's footsteps in the pathway that leads the soul to heights of truth that guides to eternal life. The National Association of Colored Women meets in olušiville, July 10 to 15. inclusive. It behooves every Mother's Club in the land to at least one person to the meeting to take part in the intelligent discussions, occasioned by a free interchange of thought on vital questions which will of themselves furnish the necessary inspiration, and thus show their interest in the cause of education, morality and christianity. As the future of the race depends upon our children and our children's children, no other investment of time, labor and money will bring a higher rate of interest than that made for the uplifting of a true master of ignorance, poverty and prejudice. Mothers, call your meetings for the second Sunday in May and send your delegates to the biennial convention of the National Association Colored Women at Louisville, July 11. Respectfully yours. DEPARTMENT MOTHERS' CLUB. HON. GEORGE MONTAGUE BECOMES SUCCESSFUL AGENT One of Chicago's Best Known and Most Reliable Citizens. One of Chicago's most notable citizens is Mr. George Montague of 2817 State street, where he moved to City in 1871, leaving his native home in Lancaster, Va., where he was known as a "Mother of the City." He coming he has been known as one of the THE LEGEND OF THE TAPOE oldest as well as the ablest politicians in that city. Some of the greatest victories in the county have been secured through the many great fights made by the Hon. George Montague. He is also well known as the greatest victories in the chaplain even elected to the Uniform Bars. P. Perhaps there is no one individual in Chicago who has sold more papers than Mr. Montague. He is said to be one of the best salesmen in the country and already the FREEMAN's agency department lists him. In the list, he whispers much for him in the short time that he has handled the FREEMAN. We want everybody to secure a copy of THE FREEMAN of Mr. Montague, as he is very deserving, being a most reliable citizen. If you order it from him you are sure to get it and in proper time. J. BURDETTE LITTLE A CANDIDATE. J. Burdette Little, attorney, has announced his candidacy for the nomination on the Republican ticket for State Representative from Marion county. He has served as a member of the United States court of Indiana, Ind., in 1875, lived in Greencastle, Ind., for nine years prior to coming to Indianapolis, and has been a resident of Marion county for over eight years. He is a graduate of DePauw University, where he also served as a professor of history and instructor of military science and tactics. He was graduated from the Indiana Law School in 1903. In the same year he was admitted to the bar in Marion county, and was appointed appointee to the supreme courts of Indiana, and the United States circuit and district courts, and has been in active practice ever since. He has assisted in the probation work on the Marion county juvenile court practice, and has served as a member of the United States circuit and district courts, and has been in active practice ever since. He has assisted in the probation work on the Marion county juvenile court practice, and has served as a member of the United States circuit and district courts, and has been in active practice ever since. He also expresses interest in legislation tending to facilitate the speedy termination of the litigation. His announcement says: "Above all, he stands for the enactment of laws which are for the public welfare and against those which would tend to favor the interests of the public, and to sense of the interests of the many. He does not and can not stand for any special interests which are not the best interests of the public, and feels that a representative in Legislature is peculiarly a servant of the people. The fearless, capable, progressive and patrolistic statesmanship of our leader, Senator J. Beveridge, commands his bestest interest. Beveridge is the leader of that school of practical, advanced statesmanship founded upon the permanent prosperity and real welfare of the whole people. Mr. Little would like to see the statesmanship continued in the Senate—News April 21.

Mr. Benjamin was offered the great sum of $7.50 to hold his position. Mrs. Benjamin, the devoted wife of Mr. Benjamin, the pianist of great ability, being a sight reader, was offered the same to hold her position. It is needless to state that they, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E. Benjamin, very quickly not amateurs. A hint to the wise is sufficient.

Another good bill pleased the audience of the Pekin Theater the week of the 51st Comedy Festival. The Lemon, as an audience, Miss Taylor in the character of Sal Skinner, was really laughable. The act closed with Miss Taytow, who was being forced to return for several encounters. Petromia Tazo, a Cuban beauty, captivated the audience in her rendition of "The Lemon." Jennings and Jennings (Henry and Elsie) offered one of their original creations. The truth is that Jennings brought burst of laughter, and Elsie as a character artist can be beat. This team of clever performers are named the Company. Company presented a one-act musical comedy by Tim Owlesy entitled "More Money Than Sense. This act ran 25 minutes long. Jennings did the comedy part. The musical numbers were well received, opening chorus being "The Belle of Gay White Way."

COOK AND STEVENS TOP THE BILL AT MOTT'S HOUSE The Pekin at Chicago Has Strong Program and Draws Great Crowds. BY CARY B. LEWIS CHICAGO, May 3—"COL," R. T. Motts, managerof the Pekin Theatre, gave the patrons of his theater a magnificent bill Monday night, and it will continue until the end of the week. The patrons on the bill and cash was a good one. The first was an English novelty musical act. It was a classy number and showed conclusively the desire on the part of the audience to see the numbers on the vaudeville market. Tibos. Reese performed on a dozen musical instruments, each air being new and pleasing. Cook and Stevens are the headliners of the week, and well do they deserve the honor, according to the appreciation of the large audience that greeted them on Monday night. The two comedians are not new to the Pekin Theatre, but they are big hits, very big hits, and they continued to make a big impact among their many friends. Many of their old friends waited until after the show to tell them of their appreciation of their work. Says one of the dailies of their work: "Wash-ee,' are a delight, and the long-tailed celestial has the house roaring merely by a dozen words, suction pipe for a laugh and an indescribe look." These two colored comedians are immense. From pit to dome was heard screams of laughter the whole time they were expected to draw large crowds the remainder of the week. Get in the rush and see them. "Adobe" Kelly and Ann Davis are two colored performers that work. They are just from the Rocky Mountains and are fresh with new "gags." The matter they use is amusing, much of it re-telling the dthey sang song "Kafer Babe" with the dthey sang song "Kafer Babe" was well rendered. One does a soft foot dance, while the other repeated with an eccentric clog dance. They took well. Another big feature of the bill was Kafer Babe, which is decided over as a palmist. Not only that, he is a good talker, and this is half of the battle in an act of this kind. He is billed as the "Man of Mystery." He tells your fortune in a stage by reflection of the spotlight in your hand and tells one of his general make-up and characteristics. He even knows an individual's name. To him, Adelaide Lorraine is putting it mildly. Adelaide Lorraine and it gave a high class playlet entitled "Mistakes Will Happen."

I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weak manhood, falling memory and lame drains, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, the fores of youth, that has cured so much of the woman man right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many powers and virility, quickly and quietly, should send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-acting accommodation for the cure of deficient manhood. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that any man anywhere who is weak and discharged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting, restorative, upbuilding, STOE-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly.

And now they say there is grave danger of the Tommy Bursam-Sam Langford fight being called off unless Bursons considers his determination to insist upon a bounty end, there will be no bout, at least under the command of St. Hester's club. This was brought about by the refusal of the Mission Club to give Bursa $25,000 outright and the refusal of Tommy to listen to anything else. When the original offer was cabled to Bursa it was for $25,000 to him alone. This was done, however, while Hester was still in the East, and it was after Sid returned and looked over the situation that he was forced to pay too much money for such a bout. The overruled what steps had been taken. CHICAGO GIANTS TAKE ONE FROM MONARCHS Monarchs Win from the Oklahoma Indians. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, April 26.

DECLARE LANGFORD-KETCHEL MILL A FRAME-UP Big Dailies of New York Say It Was a Put-Up Job. Special to THE FREEMAN NEW YORK CITY, May 8.—A larger portion of the leading metropolitan daily papers of this city are the opinion that at Philadelphia the Langford company six-round at Philadelphia was nothing of a real frame-up. They are saying that the frame-up was proposed to interest fans and make business good for a sure-fire promotion. They are saying that creation for a great big purse. Of ocurce, there was nothing bad about the six-round draw, which brought them a even split in why not be satisfied. It is believed here that Sam Langford could have easily put Ketchel out of business had not contrarily been able to do anything contrary. All along it was known that Sam was "laying off" during the contest. However, there are many who believe such people are going cause the finish battle to come off in big time.

Little Primm is a good man for young pitchers. His handling of the delivery of Brown Sunday was clever. Watson is still in the game. Keep at 'em, old boy. That's right. Emory; play ball!

JOHNSON DENIES THAT DELANEY WILL BE TRAINER Tom Flanagan Will Have Charge of Road Work. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 30.—Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion if the world, arrived here today with his party of nine, including his famous autobiography, which he said, the fair shape was evidenced by the way he boxed with his sparring partners, Cutter and Kid Cotton. The champion went three fast rounds with each and finished in third. There was no fooling in the sparring with Cutter and Cotton. Johnson waded in and belted his ipponents all over the camp, but restrained himself from hitting "In Jeffries' camp will be a number of men who will be unable to stand the beating which Jeffries will give will give and consequently Jeff will not derive the proper exception of Gotch, Jeffries will not nifhe a man in his camp who will do him a bit of good in a practical way.

Colored Fight Friends of Johnson to Arrange Special Train. CHICAGO, May 7—Champion Jack Johnson will not lack for support when he enters the ring on July 4 to defend the against James L. Hare for an arrangement to complete the "king pins" of the colored district to run a special train from Chicago to the fight. This special will leave one week before the mill and return immediately afterward. According to those who are behind the movement, arrangements were completed about a month ago and pledges received by the team make a trip. If the demand for reservation warrants the special will be divided into two sections. The train will be the first one of its kind to arrive at a great distance to prize fight. It will be made of six sleeping cars, buffet and observation and the railroad officials say it will make the trip as quickly as the limited trains. The people who already have engaged reservations Johnson is said to be the originator of the plan, and it was mainly through his efforts that the railroads would furnish such train stations championed as hostile to money when the railroad cover any losses which might result, for he is anxious to have his friends at the ringside when he steps into the ring. The name of the road which will run the train and the people behind the movement would be given out until all plans are completed. JOHNSON LIONIZED BY NEGROES AND WHITES OF OMAHA. Special to THE FREEMAN. OMAHA, Neb. April 25.—Jack Johnson, champion pugilist of the world, after being heralded long, arrived in this city in 1912, and was sent from Chicago at 12:30 a.m. m. Fully 3,000 people were at the station to see the big champion. There were as many whites as black. As the champion stepped from the train, he wore a white wig on his head, the handed him a large wreath of roses, which he promptly handed to Mrs. Johnson. Fully 30 minutes were taken up by the camera gods and the champion was patient all the way through, as he waited for the train, which appeared in all the local daily papers, showing Johnson's "golden smile." A way had to be made through the immense strong by two policemen to permit the champion to reach his auto, which shipped ahead that he might use it here. Mr. Johnson was taken to Murray Hotel, where he stopped, then began the homage which was paid him in Omaha. He was taken to a cafe, and there the crush was so great the people had to be taken as they do at five and ten-cent shows. Meets Mayor Dahlman. The daily papers here commented upon the fact that the Commoner, W. J. Bryan, and the Reverend Johnson, and only three people (newspaper men) met him, while 3,000 met Johnson. The papers observed also that a couple had been met as the Negro was as to numbers. Johnson attended a big dance that given in his honor, and a reviewing line had to be formed to permit all to get a handshake. When he was taken to a dance, a foot of 2,500 plate was spread. It is said champagne flowed as water. At this reception Johnson showed himself to be a musician as well as pugilist; half-hour he attended the bass voice. Norach attention was shown Jeff when he passed through here. Says They Will Be the World Beaters of 1910. JACKSON, Tenn., April 27.—When it comes to picking the Penn-winning team for 1910 I want to say that Leland's team will carry off the honor. I have seen them all play, and Mr. T. C. Leland has the greatest organization of ball players that was ever together. They will come to win together of games, they will they will shine. This is why they will: To start with, the whole team hits the ball, and Leland will not have only two stars, but three. They will have five and more stars, and they can win from four or five stars in a series just as often as they meet. It is just like a big man, a big man, a big big man. The little man may win now and then, but the big man has all the best of it. Leland Chicago Glants has an outfield that looks kood to anyone, and with a lift that strongest outfield corner, they will have their infield come as near being a perfect stone wall as I have ever seen. Their star statistic is the best that I have ever seen on a colored wall with Taylor, Cyclone Joe and Walty Ball are a pitching staff that cannot be beat in to catchers. Mr. Leland has two of the best catchers, and way is the only catcher that has a look-in with Pettus and Johnson. I think Pettus the greatest colored catcher that ever put on a uniform is not only a headcatcher, but throws like one is of the fastest base-runners that ever put on a uniform; and when it comes to the best catcher, he is one of the very best. Frank Leland is so strong that he will have star players on the bench. Frank C. Leland's Chicago Giants go for mine. J. C. ALLEN THE SPIKE QUESTION By CHARLES EARLE, of Royal Giants, New York City. BOTH FIGHTERS SAY THEY WILL WIN Whoever Says Jeffries Will Win Are Wrong. As the eventful time approaches interest in the big heavyweight championship fight between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries increases daily. The two pugilistic rivals have settled down to their real training, and final arrangements for the big affair are well under way. The two pugilistic rivals have refrained from making any positive declaration of their ability to beat the other one would discuss for the moment the tendency to fight or how long he would take to wind up the other's career as a championship titleholder. The have, as a matter of fact, have divided divulging the methods they intend to bring into play when they don the leather mitts. The big Negro has been the first to break the ice by coming out with a complete description of the manner in which he is confident he will make a back number of Jeffries in less than twenty rounds. The quietus in eighteen rounds, but condeing two additional rounds. The ebony-hued fighter further deposes the same way that he handed the sleeping potion to one Thomas Burns. He bows in deference to the fact that Jeffries and Burns are two different fighters, but in Johnson, as proof of his assertion that those who pick Jeff to win are all wrong, says that they have not got enough facts to prove that while Jeff has gone his limit in several fights, he himself has never been forced to extend himself. Therefore, he reasons, the dopesters have not been able to figure him in a proper fight. Conceding that all these statements reported to have been made by Johnson are true, he himself has left out some very important facts. He has been considered a necessary adjunct to a fighter's winning ability. Over-confidence, of course, is an injury. But the latter is not a part of Jeff's makeup. He has not been considered adjunct to old hick. No more. If the giant Californian were over-confident the question of supremacy would have been settled long ere this, while Jeff would not have waited until next July. On account of the death of Paulist Moran, the English prize fighter, at San Francisco, many papers stated that the Johnson-Jeffries battle would be called off. But it is now claimed that the incident would way interfere with the coming big battle. In the first place, Moran's knockout blow did not cause the death of the fighters, but it did cause the death of McCarthy received. In failing the fighter in some way fractured his skull, which brought about concussion of the brain, causing a brief route to death. The resulting happening is nothing short of what occurs more frequently in other lines of sport. TYLER, TEX. Prof. J. V.
