Lewis.— (Bureau, 2939 State St.) Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, IL, July 12.—Amid all the glory and honor that could attained a human being, Jack Johnson, the world’s champion prize fighter, at his home on Thursday and two men ad women, white and colored, were present at the depot to meet him. Auto after auto was stationed at the directional gate, on Thursday, and these also to give hi mul the protection needed. A parade had been scheduled to take place under the directional gate, but the meeting of John Theatre, but the meeting of him with a band of music and marching through the streets was forbidden by the mayor and chief of police. After the arrival of the rain the finally reached his home at 3334 Wabash avenue. In the presence of the wildly curious men and women he was greeted by his mother, and he held by her with her arms, she decring. Jack you keep on mourning." The scene brought fort htens and cries amid a storm of cheering. While there was no parade and playing of the band, this did not stop Mr. Motts and the reception committee from making the city a place of decorated anurs. When the champion reached swifth street, Mr. Motts and the auto driver came to him and the prize fighter was transferred to an auto and then the real parade began. Crowds thickened as the parade passed on Michigan and State streets. Finally the parade reached the Johnson home and the crowds grew denser. Blocks from the house was lined up and the crowd was much difficulty he reached his home, which was beautifully decorated with a large picture of the champion, surrounded by American flags and the men of Texas, hung over the roof of the porch. When Johnson reached home he jumped into his mother's arms, met his sisters and brothers and then went to the gym to play basketball called for him again and again. They yelled speech, speech, speech. He made his appearance on the front porch and bowed and bowed that the crowd and noise was so loud that it was unable to speak. During the time the Eighth Regiment band was stationed in yard and played "This Is No Place" Minister's Son" and other familiar tunes. Walter Ball, the famous pitcher for the Chicago Giants, drove up in an auto with a gigantic ham and a slab what Jack in the baseball bat. "Just look what Jack in the baseball bat" and the crowd yelled themselves hoarse. Mr Motts then and then the champion to the auto part and then another parade. The auto part then and then the theatre, and when it arrived there the crowd was so large that it was absolutely impossible to get in the theatre, to be caked off and the promised to appear on Friday night, which he did. He returned home and his dear mother said, "Ahh! I was staying home. Then he gave his time to his mother and near relatives, after he posed for several photographers. She said, "I'm going to rest for a few days and then go to New York, where I begin my vaudeville engagement." At this he was meeting and talking to such people as Jackson Lee, Hawkins, W. H. Smith, Cary B. Lewis of the Freeman, and who took part in the automobile races. The Banquet Precious to the banquet that was attended the World's Champion was given a box party at the Pekin Threaten. He met the Motts. The left box was beautifully made, meticulously decorated in honor of the hero, and during the middle of the show the champion introduced and delivered a speech. He said, "It makes no difference whether it is ten years or fifty years from now, I never will be broke." defeated the great Jim Jeffries. I was all my colored friends to be a race. Jeffries was the race. Jeffries was the fight me. He did not want to, but the newspapers and magazines haunted and hounded him until there was no other course let him but to come out of retirement and take up the 'white man's burden.' Could Have Got $150,000 for Fight. "They say that fighting is brutal. I have been fighting for years and I feel just as well as others condemn it. I have always tried to mature myself honorably, and when I married Daisy Champlain I was honorable. I could have gotten $150,000 out of my fight with Jeffries just as well as $15,000. Here again I showed my determination to be honest and straight. I felt in my bones when I married Wen. When Refickard talked to me before the fight, I told him I did not want the best of his decision. I said: 'Split it in half and let the best man win.' I want my colored friends to do everything they can to be an honor and a credit to the race "I thank you all for this kind reception and I go home to my sick wife, mamma and sister, greatly pleased with the honor you have bestowed upon me." Johnson was introduced as "L'I Arthur Johnson, champion pugilist of the world." During the performance Johnson left his and performed upon the stage. For five minutes the cheering and plaque continued before he was allowed to make a speech. "I have proved that a Negro can be honored appointed the Negro champion. Then for a more minutes the cheering continued. "I always want to be loved," continued the fighter. "the greatest fighter who ever donned the gloves, red, white, green or yellow," called out one of Johnson's trainers, who introduced the champion. "The applause subsided the champion was permitted to finish his speech. Ladies and gentlemen, how dare you give great pleasure to appear before you this evening as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. But before I mention fighting or go on any further I want to impress on you but I want my friends to be like the French. Wants to Be Buried in Chicago. "When Napoleon was winning battles he led by his people, but when he lost, he led by his friends my friends to love me just the same if I lose or win a battle to-morrow or if. "But a year later. "He said: 'When I die I want to be buried by the Seine.' I say 'When I die, I want to be buried in Chicago, because I want to thank the whole United States and the people of Chicago for the courtesy I have been shown. Again I want to say that I proved to the wrestler the greatest fight. After the show the champion was escorted to Mott's Inn, where an elaborate banquet was prepared for the champion. He was music and speech features of Mr. Bob Mott, chairman of the reception committee, acted as toastmaster. Mr. Mott was at his best. He delivered one of the greatest fire and vigor; eulogizing the fighter in the highest terms. After Mr. Mott told all about the career of "Jack" and his great fight at Reno, the champion gave "Not alone have I shown the world that there are honest men in the black race, but I also have shown the world that there is one black man who loves honor more than money. You have heard of read the story about my split Littie who writes as my manager and there is no use of my commenting on it further. Fair and Honest Always. Notables in Party.

Jack Johnson was warmly received in the city of Chicago. His home was continually crowded with friends and the love of a mother possible and Jack returned the same affection. His mother prepared him special meals and he enjoyed the delacies of the season brothers did every thing possible to make his short stay here pleasant and enjoyable.

He left Sunday for New York to accept an engagement with Hammerstein for a salary of $5,000 per week. Most pictures, but it is a foregone conclusion that Chicago will have them at an early date.

Crum Receiving Orders for Monrovia Service- Thompson's National News Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 13—"Tis mid-summer at the nation's capital, and the usual sensations have given away to me the coolness of the term here. Those who have "the price" are seeking ozone in the shady retreats amid the mountains of neighboring commonwealths or at the festive seaside resorts. Those who have said are borrowing it and going anyhow. Others claim—and not without some show of logic—that "home is where the least summer resort, and are spending the heated comforts rounded by the comforts to which they have been accustomed, and at the usual moderate outlay of the coin of the realm." Next to getting what one wants in the realm, this circumstance is to want one gets. Nevertheless, it is the fashion in Washington to go away somewhere in summer, and if you do not, you are "up against" an explanation as to why you have been accustomed to the allities of polite society. So, fellow mortals, go, if you can; stay, if you have the nerve. --- Conventions are all the rage in this end of the moral vineyard. This week the folks of the Atlantic seaboard are arriving where tuberculosis, sanitation and race journalism are to hold the boards for an extended discussion. On the 26th will come the Elks, who will browse the stores of the Town of Rivers' Hall as the chief herding place. The town will move on New York en masse August 16 to 19 to attend the meeting of the New York League, with its bankers, press bar and undertakers' annexes as an added attraction. Before that, however, the Independent Political Leaguers will hold their meeting for the fall congressional campaign. Beginning on the 23rd the National Medical Association will hold forth in this city, and the preparations for the fall congressional campaign that for magnificence and elaboration of detail has never been excelled in location capital, the November 28 meeting will be at Baltimore in the fact that a spirited contest is on for four of the principal offices within the gift of the Odd Fellows, gives assurance has the better chance to record the results. But Good Samaritans come to Alexandria in September, and the slumbers of that ancient burg will give place to the proverbial Virtue Garden, where we are not able but will be enough to hold most of us for a while. The race feeling is growing less acute day by day, and in a fortnight the bitterness of the heat is the moving pictures of the fight have been barred by the local . . . The matter of the Georgetown collectorship is hanging fire. The rumor that the place would go to a colored up a "hornet's face" from the South, stirred up the public ear. Even so good a friend of the Negro race as the Evening Star got red in the face; first, over a man to a purely local office; and second, because said appointee, if colored, might disturb the peaceful and accepted traditions of the town. The name of Henry Nashville, who is the collectorship of Internal Revenue, was mentioned in connection with the Georgetown Post; and later, it was mentioned in connection with the Nashville, Tenn., could have it if he would signify his willingness to take it. No confirmation of either report has, as yet, come this way. District Comptroller who was nominated by the President but failed of confirmation in the Senate, still has hopes, and his friends are making a desperate effort to land him. The office is the highest pay per annum. The office is an old-fashioned structure on 31st street, above M in Georgetown, and receives imports amounting to a snug sum in fees and over until the return of President Taft from Beverly. --- Dr. W. D. Crum, the newly appointed minister to Liberia, is at the State Department daily, receiving instructions not talking for publication, but it is evident that he is fully impressed with the gravity of the mission that is being held to his keeping, and that he realizes that he must be a berian Republic not to be a bed of roses. He will face problems that call for diplomacy of the highest order, but we have no reason to stamina to "make good," and will lift up to all reasonable expectations. Dr. Crum goes to New York in a few days, from which point he will sall for West Africa. Bon voyage! Col. Henry Lincoln Johnsen, Recorder of Deeds, is a busy man these days. He is adopting the policy of an "open at his own eyes and sees scores of callers, his duty to help the race which he, his duty to help the race must represent in much the manner that a member of Congress represents his constituents. Col Johnson has already been instructed in assisting a nummer of called campesinos, who have been seeking promotion, retention or to avoid reduction in pay. He is taking up other meritorious cases, and never seems to dare of doing so. He has asked no credit for himself for the obvious expenditure of time and energy. His office has become a rendezvous for the young men of the community who are progressive type. Without frills; hypocrisy, social fubdub, or senseless distinctions. Col Johnson is establishing himself as a leader of the masses, and that mind several projects of immense value to the race, of which we will speak in our next letter. Prof. Charles M. Thomas, head of the department of science in Normal School No. 2, a specialist in normal methods of research, has been treated on the subject, has received a commendatory letter from former president Roosevelt, testifying in positive terms to the effectiveness of Prof. Thomas's research practice. Prof. Thomas is the prime mover in the organization of the National Association of Negro Scientists, which is making considerable headway in the leading educators of the country.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER General News THE FREEMAN'S WESTERN BUREAU. OMAHA, Neb.—(Special)—In several of our former articles it has been pointed out that the colored population of Omaha, including her suburban home, what some of the 9,000 colored people are doing should not be without interest to the Negroes of the whole country. Omaha ha sa number of men who have risen to success in their respective walks of life, even against the competition of white men, and in the face of race prejudice. Not many years ago white men took their muskets to the police and made it possible for them to be in Omaha to cast his vote. The fight for his right, along with the Jew and poor white, to enter the fre public schools, was quite as hard as the fight for his right to vote. Out of the 9,000 black men presented in the state legislature by one of his own, and the free public schools which at first denied him admission have had teachers from the despised class. Step by step he has advanced over 100 years, and has his own churches, his own physicians, lawyers, dentists, druggists, undertakers, grocers, cafes, caterers, catereries, his own newspapers, furniture stores, playwrights, and many men who hold positions of trust and responsibility in the various walks of life. The Negro people here have it as their proud boast that Oscar, of the Waldorf-Astoria is the peer of the stewards of the Companion. They pride themselves in pride they claim that the race here has the best colored architect in the United States. They have their barber shops, their manicurers, their hair-dressers, their dress-makers and expressmen. And one of the highest claims we make is that the race has the highest per capita real estate holding than can be shown by the race in any other county in the United States. --- The colored physicians in Omaha have won their place. Dr. J. H. Hutten, a graduate of the Howard University Medical School, declares to be one of the best in the nation, has gained a competency. He has won the confidence of some of the best families and is reputed to be one of the most successful doctors in a large and lucrative practice. Dr. L. E. Britt, one of our younger men, has the best equipped office of any of the colored physicians in his chosen profession. Dr. August G. Edwards, a Meharry man, has a splendid practice, and is gaining in his profession as time goes on. Dr. R. A. and Dr. A. A. Robinson are kept busy, and will no doubt win competency. --- Nor are the dentists less successful than the physicians. Dr. W. W. Peebles, who has been here but three years, has built up a practice which is larger than he can handle. He graduated from the College until Surgeon Chicago, which school is said to be one of the best in the world. Dr. J. E. Jackson, a graduate of our own Creighton University, has recently entered upon the practice here. He is a graduate of the school and graduated at the head of his class. And when he took the examination before the state dental board, they pronounced his crown and bridge work the best that he had ever done. He has only been open for business for a month; but has all he can do. His success is assured. ... There are four lawyers in Omaha, Mr. Silas Robbins, Mr. Fred L. Smith, Mr. Joseph Carr and H. J.印林, Mr. Joseph Carr, two twelve years. In addition to his law practice he does a large and profitable real estate business. He has been clean and successful. Mr. Joseph Carr, who has been about sixteen years, has been the criminal practice, and has nearly all the police court, work of Omaha wherein colored criminals are concerned. Mr. Joseph Carr, a career as a carer, rager seller, money lender—now a lawyer and real estate broker. He is one of the best men in our city, and helps, with the help of competent persons, the bishop and persons, Mr. Pinkett has been here but two years and a half. He came to Omaha from the District of Columbia to be a prominent white lawyer of the city he has won a place at the bar for ability and integrity. His practice has grown rapidly each year, as his friends have multiplied. He is a university man, with Howard University as his alma mater. . . . Omaha has one colored undertaker, Mr. G. Wade Obee, who received his preliminary training at Fisk University, and graduated. He has been in business here for two years, and in that time has handled more than 150 cases. His establishment is as well kept as any undertaking he has done. His specialty is not questioned. His business in itself is a distinct contribution to race life and racial hope. Omaha has a new grocery store operated by color men. The owner, Worden. It has been open for a few months, important than the 799,998 people are giving much of their patronage to the store and the success seems certain. It is a racialized furniture store, and a second-hand furniture store here, and they have made it a distinct success. --- Mr. E. W. Pryor, steward of the Omaha Commercial Club, is generally conceded the right to govern Astoria, in his line of work. The leaders in the catering business are Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Mahamith, who, with Mrs. Margaret the large functions among the aristocrats of the Gate City. At this writing these four caterers have the field to themselves, and they are mindful of the fact. They are not permitting the opportunity to pass. Perhaps one of the most helpful colored men in our midst is Mr. Daniel Desmunes, the son of the distinguished writer and historian, Mr. Wren Desmunes, of owe him four years of education to Omaha four years ago there was no musical organization among the colored people. He organized the Desmunes orchestra, and later, making a combination of talent and talent to form the "Forty Years of Freedom," which was a distinct success. He appeared as a violin soloist in a joint concert between the Episcopal churches of the city, and won high praise as a violinist. But he succeeded in his "Lady Mist" with his "Buster Brown" and his signal triumph which made a record in juvenile shows for Omaha, "Manager Buster Brown." During the Grand Encampment in Kansas City, Mo., last year, in the musical contest between eight bands, Mr. Desmunes' band won second prize. His plays, which he composed and presented, have been pronounced by the press and public as artistic successes. Mr. C. W. Wigington, the best arch tect of his race, as Omaha believes, is a young man of excellent habits and life. He is identified with every good thing in community life, and is winning a competence in this profession. To use of the West he is Lankford and Pittman combined. --- The greatest agency for good in Nebraska today is the Omaha Enterprise. It has been responsible for nearly all the Negroes of the city buying homes and acclining to farm land, and its influence is left at this level. This section of the country, it is the cleanest. I have ever seen, and while I do not agree with its ultra-conservative policy respecting public men and measures, I am fairness bound to say that it has placed the Negroes of the city in the hands of any other paper in the nation. Nor can close this article without giving this word of praise to the owner and publisher of the Enterprise, T. F. Mahamitt. He has been the most business man, the city, as well as every business and liec man. He stands as the spirit of western progressiveness. For many years he has been the leader here in Masonic work. --- There are several barber shops owned and operated by colored men. Among the businesses are those of Fred Jones Alexander Tillery, who the large part of the colored work is done. Several colored men are carrying on successful express delivery. The Harvey is the Mr. Archie Harvey are winning success in this line. Our colored drug store is a success financially, and has a large patronage. The Western Bureau in this letter has mentioned only such callings and businesses as are comprehended under the rules of the law. The latter is to show the better side of our race life here, reserving the right, for the public good, to hold up to public gaze all who betray their trust in any walk of life. PENSACOLA.

GEORG) | KNOX, *ablisher and Managing Editor EL WOOD C KNOX, Business Manager. SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1910. It would be treason to utter one word against this splendid weather. Let us see. Some papers have a way of talking about the men most talked of today. To begin with, there’s Jack Johnson. Ex-President Roosevelt is expected in Indiana during the present cam- paign. ‘The Colonel will never want for, an audience, at any rate, ‘The well-known Prof. W. S. Scar- borough has again been chosen presi- dent of Wilberforce College, Rev. Hor- ace Talbert secretary and Rey. J. P. Maxwell treasurer. The Negro press fairly agreed on what it had to say about the Johnson- Jeffries fight. ‘There were now and then dissonant tones, but owing to the many voices they did not at all dis- turb the harmony, Ministers of the A. M. B. Church of Chicago went on record as opposed to the exhibiting of the fight pictures, ‘The ministers of the A. M. E. Church: es of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Del- aware and New York refused to favor the suppression of the fight pictures. i kee wei ae The well-known Rev. Dr. Graham has become editor of the Union Head- light, a new publication of Nashville, Tenn. Dr. Graham has long since been known for his forceful opinions ‘on publiv questions, In his salutatory he says that he hopes his journal to Join the hundreds more in bringing about better racial relations, contrib- uting to the sum of human good rath- er than filling a long-felt want. The doctor is modest as well as earnest, honest and informed. The journal seems to be well grounded financially, since it says it will not care for ad- vertisements excepting of a certain kind. Something unique and helpful will be expected of the Union Head- light. ON THE FIGHT PICTURES. If the fight pictures were being op- posed merely on the score of brutal- ity, immoraiity, loathing or disgust- ing scenes, and the rest of it that is being cooked up in these days, then in the name of decency all should join in and see to it that they go down. It is hardly the case. The fact of the matter is that there's “a darkey in .the woodpile.” The indictment 1s not quite complete in this instance. The omitted portion, however, is pretty well understood. We are used to fight pictures ana some that are not fight pictures. The some that are not fight pictures need also a public censor—that is, some of them. And, tree enough, they are being fought by Christian’ organiza- tions, but no such protest has been uttered against them as noted when Jack knocked out Jim. ‘These strong opponents of the fight pictures have been blind to all of these some other kinds of pictures, presumably enjoyed them. We have nothing to say against that. We have also seen them; they were just the things to turn one’s mind sharply from the cares of business of the day and thus avoid that monotony that brings on a tribe of mental disorders. In fact, everybody enjoyed them—men, women and children—and they were not Sunday school pictures, either. The “Foundation” for the suppres- sion of vice, if there’s any such thing, as we view it, might well be worked up about the fight pictures and then simply owing to the brutal features— on the score of brutality, and as it concerns the young—not grown-up men. We can not see that the pic- tures will do much toward increasing race antagonism. We must admit that they will not tend to reduce it, but will not differ in effect with any other situation where the Negro is vietor in a contest with white men, from otatorical contests down. Negro ministers have the heaven- sent American right to dissent in their opinions, the thing that gives our country its “bouguet”—civil aro- ma—among the nations, but at that it taxes one’s wit to discover on what line they come when they conclude to go against the fight pictures, when they know as much about the reason for the prohibition as other Negroes. So far, however, only the Chicago A. M. BL ministers have gone on ree- ord against them, while the ministers of the same church in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and New York do not oppose the exhibition. We feel that they view the opposition as hy- pocrisy, a growth of the race feeling, and which feeling is influenced as much by the suppression as by the exhibition of the pictures.

A few days ago the Chicago Giants were in second place, but with the two recent defeats they have come down a round, now making them third in the City League Standing. It was some more of that good pitching that won the game. While the Wost Ends are in first piace and are now considered the best in the city among the semi-pros., it seemed to have taken all the ginger out of the colored boys. Wil- Hams pitched for the iGants, but it was Fraser who seemed to master the sphere, the old scout allowing the Giants five scat- tering hits. Williams let the West Ends have nine hits, striking out only | three men, “Wallace as usual came up with his two-base hit, but this alone could not win the game. ‘rhe game was played at West Ends’ Park and the score was 7 to 2.

The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools which will hold its seventh annual meeting in Oklahoma City, Okla. July 21, 22, 23, 24, has passed the stage of experiment, and has become the permanent organization of the thirty thousand Negro teachers throughoutrthe country. The coming session promises to have an attendance running into the thousands. From eyery state where there are colored schools, delegations are formed, either large or small, and the present outlook is that the city of Oklahoma will have on its hands July 21, 22, 23,24, the largest gathering of Negroes that has assembled in the West, Already since the announcement of the coming meeting, half a dozen or more boarding and lodging houses have been constructed by wealthy Negroes of Oklahoma City, in order that they may properly entertain the large number of Negro teachers that will be present during the latter part of this month, Many of the leading educators of the country are life members of this association, many of whom will take part in the Oklahoma meet ing.

Mr. J. L. Fry, the present proprietor, is a man’ of vast experience in the business, congenial and deservedly popular among the great number of traveling men perhaps than any other colored hotel proprietor. in America. ‘The Keystone is situated at No. 3022 State street, and is but ten minutes ride from the down town theaters and shop- ping district; both the elevated and sur- face cars pass the door. The conven- fence of this location has done much to popularize the institution. ‘There are perhaps more than a hundred thousand Colored men and women pass the doors of the Keystone hotel every day, mak- ing it possible. thereby. for strangers in the city always to come in contact with or secure information of resident friends. and acquaintances.

A different tale's now told Out at Reno; There's a shortage in the gold, Out at Reno; The man we picked to win In the Fourth of July "spin" Pailed to make his "dukes" "cash in," Out at Reno.

Evidently the big bear was fast instead of fit. Indiana avenue has been rechristened Johnson promenade. There is little doubt that something was the matter with Jeffries. Johnson will quickly reinstate himself in the Joy Riders' Union. A picture of James J. Jeffries for use today is hardly considered apropos. In the meantime Sam Langford will make the most of issuing challenges that he knows are perfectly safe. Of the $80,000 words sent on the big fight, the two "Johnson wins" were more but it doing a good business. The colored As far as Jeffries' seclusion is concerned there hardly will be another attempt to bring him out for a fight, anyway. Reno will not be heard from again for six years, as it is figured that it will take Johnson that long to get in shape for a licking. Friso sporting men are said to be laying odds that there will be trouble when Johnson and Corbett meet, but these same sports made Jeffries a favorite over the Johnson and Little Still at it. The publication of the effort to have Johnson lay down brought Little promptly to his feet, and he says that Johnson is not only refuses to take anything back, but insists that if Little doesn't get his way, Johnson will back him and public retraction of his statements. Johnson not only refuses to take anything back, but insists that if Little doesn't get his way, Johnson will back him and manager's conduct while in his camp. It appears that Johnson has the whip hand and the only thing Little can do is to "come in." Speaking of his former manager, Jack Johnson recently had the following to say: "I was extremely glad to get rid of him. Following our little disagreement he made himself objectionable in every way in the training camp. He opened my door to him and sent me a telegram to my mother and folks in Chicago, telling them to come to California at once. This was only a small part of the effort. I was also slightly fall at San Francisco before actual training commenced, which hurt me slightly over the kidneys. Little advised my mother withdraw all bets on me because my injury was impossible for me to win from Jeffries." The reception tendered Jack Johnson at his home and the reception given Jim Jeffries at his home were the old stories to the world-wide interest in the outcome at Reno, one is continually reminded of the great battles that have been fought, down and those that have written their names high up. Napoleon and his Waterloo are eternally called on for comedy and Jeffries met his Waterloo and is now $3.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK MEN---FREE SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY —YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weak back, manhood, falling memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, and youth that has cured so many wounds and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think who wishes to regain his many power and vitality, and ability, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that man anywhere who is weak and discontented with repeated failures may stop drugging patients with repeated pain and medicines, secure what I believe the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, T-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and cure himself at home quietly and quickly. I drop my line like this: Dr. A. E. Robbins 1881 will build this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary esthetic free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing a prescription like this—but I send it enticed. BY HAROLD C. McGATH "exiled" to the quiet of his "Helena," where he will be in the gaze of the too curious who still have the heart to look curiously, and who are figures of the theatre of human affairs. They had great faith in Jeffries in Los Angeles, in fact the whole of California in his idol: it was but natural as a thing of St. John's, and pride, to stand by the son of the section and the white man's representative. The money poured forth without stint and the world knows the rest by this time. Where gloom and night. The "impossible" harp. The cheer and festival promised in honor of the favorite son gave way to gloom. Fortunes were wrecked, honor and repudiation. The home and mankind was in mental scablock and the idol was not without censure; it was his duty, as they saw it, to maintain affloat the banner. He failed. And for failing the banner, he failed. Following is a dispatch from his home: "Jeffries spent today in his brother's home at Kipper with all doors locked and with positively everybody barred. He arrived early morning and was met by less than a second of a step on his stepped off the San Francisco train. A dozen loungers, two or three of his old friends and four sporting writers attempt to speak to Jeff, but he shouted out that did not want to be bothered, and stepped into an automobile and disappeared." --- Johnson came to his own with the "blare of trumpets." "The citizens clung to the wheels of his charlot, drew from the shoulders of his man, the shoulders high above the shouting multitude." Not since the gladiator's days of Rome has there been a scene enacted that which greeted Jackson's return from ten. He wished away the distinctions with rich and poor all lose distinction in the crushing throng that strove to seize his hand. Men fought for humankind whose sway is not mapped or charted but universal as the sun. The whole world resounds in his praise, aning into him who spoke long since, "and Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands." a Sam Langford, a Negro, is the only one in sight that even has the nerve to challenge Jack Johnson for the championship. The very thought makes Johnson mad. Recently when told of Langford's success, he said he had better hunt up some one in his class. He, however, was not so careful as to how he said it, expressing him with a bigger better hunt some one in his class. At any rate, Langford is game. He says that he will fight and do a little side betting to the one of $20,000. It is Langford's action that will give him gain in fighting Johnson and nothing to lose. He says that he will follow Johnson around the world in order to get a chance to win. He doesn't bother with him; he feels that Langford's action is more impunity than anything else. It brings notoriety to Langford to be barking at the heels of Johnson's action and killing him. Johnson may have to turn and kick him over in sheer self-defense. It is given out that Jeffries said that he could not have whipped Johnson in his best days. It does not sound quite reasonable that he made the statement, but it is much more difficult. The truth of the remark is not questioned. Looking at the two men, it can be seen that Johnson is better made than Jeffries, and he is a good many people thought Jeffries had, muscle development in the right place to make a fighting machine. Jeffries was altogether a too regular man, too roundly and too rigid of the perfect man. His head, legs, arms, were in beautiful proportion. He got the very best out of himself in his best days and perhaps did so in his last fight. Jack was a very tough man, neck, thickens at the top of the thighs. Great muscles swell around Johnson's arms just where they join his shoulders. Here is the residence of strength. Those muscles are in trees, and which sometimes defy the steel teeth of the best saws. It made Johnson a fighting machine and until such another abnormally developed individual could hold his own until age 68 him down. --- The Chalmers automobile people made a lucky hit when they sent one of their cars to the station to take Johnson to his residence when he arrived in Chicago last week. Johnson was highly pleased with the compliment and in a spirit of reciprocity bought the car on the spot for his old "mammy," who would have none, he said, and he was delighted to have the thinking of going into the automobile business in Chicago, but the chances are that he will do better at the game he knows. The glory of being in the business was the Fetes and banquets the order of the day for Johnson on arriving home in Chicago. Practically the freedom of the city was tendered him, the white man's dislike of the chagrin led him to admiration for the big black specimen of humanity that has compelled the world to pause a while. The police, whose favorite occupation was to take the blood of the wronged blood, were profuse in attention, congratulating Johnson on his success. LANGFORD WILL NOT LET JACK JOHNSON REST. Sam Langford, who grins when hit with the sharp edge of an ax, will not let John Arthur Johnson rest. Johnson wired friends in New York that, on behalf of Langford, he will accept Johnson's offer to fight for a side bet of $20,000. Johnson wired friends in New York that, on behalf of Langford, he will accept Johnson's offer to fight for a side bet of $20,000. Johnson wired friends in New York that, on behalf of Langford if the latter could meet a $20,000 side bet. Woodman wired that he would post the $20,000 as soon as he could be paid in New York and posted his money. The feeling between the two Negroes is bitter. Langford positively refuses to join Johnson, who is paid in New York and fries fight Langford bemoaned the fact that Jeff was going "to kill that nigger Johnsongn" before he got a chance to do the job. Langford could give Johnson a run for his money. In Boston five years ago Langford gave Johnson a terrific argument. Johnson wired and then Langford to in. For the remaining ten rounds Langford had Johnson stalling and hanging on for dear life, although Johnson outweighed Since that time Langford has increased his weight to 180 pounds. He declares he is now a better fighter than he was necessary, to make him fight. Only a few months ago, in Baltimore, when the Negroes met in a Negro club, Langford took over and offered to tow Johnson on the spot. JEFF'S POOR SHOWING WAS CAUSED BY FEAR That Is Verdict of New York Physi cians—Fight Pictures Studied. The first pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson fight received in New York have been submitted to physicians, with expert descriptions as to Jeffries' actions on the day of the fight, and they have declared that the fight was suffering from traumatic neurasthenia. Traumatic neurasthenia is a condition of nervous debility produced by fear of wounds. The fight pictures show that when Jeffries was being introduced to the audience he stood like a drunken man with his feet three feet apart while Joe Choynski almost held him up with his hands on his shoulders. He sat who set at the camera. Jeffries staggered like a drunken man while the muscles of his legs and arms twitched as though they were being touched by a galvanic battery. Medical books describe traumatic neurasthenia as follows: "The patient is incapable of cone- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER محمد حسن SHOWING JOHNSON'S SPLENDID BACK DEVELOPMENT trating his attention to any subject that requires careful thought. "The emotions of fear and apprehension are greatly exaggerated. The patient is capable of performing all movements, but they are executed in an impulsive way with inco-ordination and an inability to respond. According to the reports of the fight, Jeffries' heart action was so low his hands and feet were cold. He had a serious attack of indigestion. He fought. He was not concentrated with his mind upon the fight. Yet there are some noted physicians in the city who declare that a man of Jeffries suddenly splendid physical condition could not have been attacked by any nervousness. SOME INSIDE INFORMATION CONCERNING RECENT FIGHT Inside information—some of it sensational—regarding the deal whereby Jeffries and Johnson agreed to mau each other for a year, and the deal was veiled by Tex Rickard on his return to San Francisco from Reno. The most startling statement made by Rickard was that two days before bids were made to Johnson in York and it was announced that Rickard and Gleason had outbid the others, he had the signatures of Johnson and Jeffries to arraign him, and that in making the deal, he dealt with Johnson personally and with Sam Berger, representing Jeffries. As a matter of fact, said Rickard, no other bid submitted by Johnson (except Rickard's), and other bidders had simply been double-crossed. Rickard said he was the man who signed the fighters and he took Jack Gleason in, and he insisted that Coffroth should not have a bit of interest in it, and Rickard felt that he ought to have a San Francisco man interested in the ANGE FURSE DIVISION. It was at first decided to cut the $101.000 purse 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser, but three days later the purse was reduced to the purse evenly with Jeffries, the latter consenting to a 60 and 40 per cent division. Rickard said the gate amounted to $120,000. GOVERNOR DICKERSON OF NEVADA TALKS. I do not at all regret that the fight was pulled off in Nevada. It was a clean act, but the fight was not one person were made perfectly good. I am in favor always of manly sport, just SHOWING JOHNSON'S SP as long as the game is played clean and square, as was this. There is absolutely no warrant, in my judgment, for the prosecution of the game made public, the fight just having to take place in. Demonstrated fully that there was nothing about it but what was proper for any State to permit. Our fair play had a strong hold on the thousands of people who witnessed it, of whom I was one, and that fact was made evident, as the crowd was overwhelmingly for Jeffries, but when the court ruled that the periority in every way and won the battle of thinking, seeing and acting simultaneously, as the result of greater mentality, speed and vitality, no demonstration of reproach or insult was offered in any man- The character of the men composing that crowd was not made up largely of the rowdy or thing element, as many of them were bored with such cases at such events, but of business and prominent men. Of my own personal knowledge, the holding of this event in Kwada benefited a factual reason, as many withstand the claims advanced by some, as it has made the possibilities and natural advantages of this State, with its undeveloped wealth, familiar to many otherwise would not be the State, and well pleased with the intelligent manner in which the tremendous crowd was handled and treated by the people of Reno, and I have heard only expressions of good will for the city upon all. It was the most orderly crowd of its size imaginable. There was an absence of any sort of harassment, of any sort, and that speaks volumes for the crowd itself, as well as for the officers of the law. I will further state that as long as the law licenses glove contests I see, the crowd is not such events in any manner in the future. As for the contestants in this fight, I can only say that the defeat of Jeffries demonstrated the face of face and contentment of students of athletics. A man has for some time been out of condition he cannot regain his former vitality and condition of his physical perfection, for nature will invariably assert itself. He never could be the Jeffries of former days. SOME JEFFRIES ANSWERS. Jeff had stage fright. His nervous system collapsed. Knowledge of his own physical unfitness unnerved him. His mentality collapsed under the strain and he did not realize what he was doing. KANSAS CITY GIANTS GO DOWN. A large crowd gathered at Riverside Park to see the Kansas City (Kan.) Giants go down. They were defeated by the Oklahoma City Giants by a score of 5 to 0. Shinn Norman of the Chicago Giants is now pitching for the Kansas City Giants. He was hit hard by the Oklahoma City Monarchs. Baby Webb for the Monarchs took it easy and let the Giants down with only two hits. Batteries for Kansas City Giants: Shinn Norman and Tenny. For the Monarchs: B. Webb and Bolden.

To the Editor of The Freeman: Sir—Please correct error of New Orleans baseball team that claimed to have been "winning 'em all", which is incorrect. When they played Centreville they beat us 9 to 4. The same team at Verdunville lost to Centreville 4 to 3. The team acctent on the team to have won in Verdunville by a score of 1 to 0, unless they thought The Freeman never comes down this way. True, the game was hotly contested all the time. Our boys simply playing them off their feet. We are very proud of our team, which has played fifteen games and won all save two, which were lost by a single score. The following players compose the Centreville team: Glimore, pitcher; Verdun, catcher; W. Drulhet, first base; C. Lullet, short stop; Thomas, third base; E. Drullet, left field; Chambers, center field; Bolds, right field. Very respectfully, E. F. DRULHET, JR. We cheerfully insert letter as correction—Editor. COMMENDS COLORED HEROES.
