She is a famae over the action of the board of education in regard to the Branch Normal, the political name for the State institution for colored. The matter has given to teachers control, and everybody is talking it—whites and blacks. The white press has taken the matter up and have given it to teachers. It is a well known fact that Mr. Harris is a white man and the only white man about the school and the body of students. Teachers in it seem to that he himself immune so he keeps it up. After receiving his proposal, it is for sending the hose, claiming that they were only samples sent him. We referred to Miss Wade's testimony, which included his proposal, to her originally from a gent's clothing firm and to bear her out. That is why she was sent to that series women's hose.

Allen's National News Bureau, 252 West $3rd Street. NEW YORK CITY, April 5.—One of the most inspiring sights that has ever been seen in this city was when Shelton Stevens, an ambitious colored boy from Oberlin, Ohio, received his diploma at the University of New York, and was the only student in the New York Trade School, one of the largest trade institutions in this country. Stevens was the only student who received a degree in the余辉文学 of the race among the large student body of over 1,800 men from every section of the country. He received his diploma as a graduate plumber, and, as a student, was a student at the University of New York, has been the first Negro to graduate from the school in some time, and when he entered this fall there was a disposition on the part of the officials to post his post as a professor at rest his ability to convince the principal that he was in earnest and he was admitted. He was one of the most experienced students of the field. He received special mention on the day of his graduation. Chauncey M. Depew, one of the most noted American orators, addressed the class and passed his class in a way that is similar to that of Mr. Ens since being in this city became one of the most likable young men of the community. He became active in church and literature work and spent his time in the church and the school. He could be found reading. While here he stopped with Mr. W. M. McCarty, at 114 West 53d street. Mr. McCarty was the first American student of the spondent last Sunday, said that young Stevens was an exemplary young man and was very attentive to his studies. He left for home at Odessa in the fall of 1840, where he was entered the plumbing business. Young Stevens is a graduate of the high school in Oberlin and at some future time will enter Oberlin college. The success that this young student has should inspire other young men through the country. Notable Protest against "Clansman." The notable protest of men and women against the viciousness of "The Clansman," continuing further in this week, against it, was seen last Tuesday afternoon, when prominent men and women of both races, and standing together, called at the office of Mayor Mitchell and called attention to the unwisdom of letting this play continue in this room, and that organization was secured through the vigilance of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the speaking room and lent their influence to the protest. Prof. J. E. Spingarn presided over the business and professional room and lent their influence to the test. He urged the Mayor to make immediate inquiry into the wisdom of permitting this infamous play to continue, emphasized how the pictures as shown were greatly distorting and and twisting facts as they related to the Negro Those playing in the room was designed wholly to inflame public opinion against the Negro Those Miss Lillian Wald, Dr. W. E. Dobbs, Rabbit Stephen Wise, Oswald G. Villard, Fred R. Moore and George E. Wibecan, who resigned resolution was passed roundly condemning the infamous play. A Beautiful Southern Woman Protests Against "Clampman." Prominent white women of this city have joined heartily in condemning the transgender Misty and protested the Misty's portrayed indecent scenes portrayed in the pictures. These women have written and directed the city's city which is aiding largely in bringing about the necessary pressure drive the city. Among the prominent women of city who are leading in the protest and loud in her denunciation of the city, Miss Rosalie Jonas through the play, in Miss Rosalie Jonas, a beautiful Southern woman from New Orleans. Miss Jonas since coming to this city has broad minded women in the woman suffrage movement, and she has influenced a large number of her friends to sign the Mayor. Miss Jonas is one of the most broad minded women or this country. She is prominent as a social worker among the colored people in this city, and is remembered for her kindness in distributing press to the needy col The letter that Miss Jonas wrote to the Mayor is as follows: "May we not race and classes in this great city, to beg you to act promptly and with justice to the Negro in this matter of the race and classes from our institution?" From its misleading title to its sacrificial ending, it is an effort to all the decent people of this community to a gratitude to our law abiding citizens, respecting people. It is a malicious and mercenary attempt to discredit them, to reopen old woes, re-awaken the people, to force the money in it merely. It prejudices by an entirely false presentment of the slave passivity of the past, and for the already unjustly handicapped freeman of today. It would not be permitted in any Southern state, and the people will perhaps arouse a dangerous condition of race and sectonal feeling, that may poison even this community, and the strong letters of protest that have gone to the Mayor this letter is one of the strongest and straightest of the Mayor's office. Miss Jonas in talking to your The Freeman an advertising me- clan is unequaled by any Negro Newspaper, going into the homes of a class of thrifty, money-spend- ing Afro-Americans not reached by any other Journal.

Washington "Tuskegee Wizard" Addresses Monster Crowd in Baltimore—First Public Health Conference Arouses Nation to the Slogan: "Disease Knows no Color Line"—Hospitals for Negro Consumptives Urged—"Clean Living" the Order of the Hour—"Health Week" Centers in Monumental City With Founder of Movement as Stellar Attraction. (By R. W. Thompson.) All roads led to Bethel church on Wednesday night. At 6 o'clock the corn maze street was blocked with a dense mass of people, numbering 6,000, striving for entrance to the immense mission, packing lower floor, gallery and aisles, as well as filling every inch of space in the corridors and rooms. Thousands were turned away from the doors, but waited in the vicinity for two hours, vainly hoping for a chance to hear the message of Dr. Booker. 28 Washington displayed by the best citizens of both races on this occasion, the Negro's natural leader in Baltimore, and to the enthusiastic interest all are taking in his campaign for the people of the entire country. Dr. Washington Stellar Attraction of Conference. M. Jason A. Hawkins, chairman of the organization, led the planning to order and after brief but very lucid remarks, outlining the plans and purposes of the organization, introducing the officer of the evening, Dr. Novak is a leading factor in the Medical and Chirurgical profession, voiced the pride of the state 'in being able to have at this conference the principals moved and felt the health work had arisen through the widespread interest manifested in the conference Dr. Washington had first proposed it. Hon. Robert P. Graham, secretary of state, spoke for Governor Goldsborough, who was unable to be present. Mr. Graham testified to the deep interest of the Mishra and the existing in the movement and his admiration for Dr. Washington and his aids in the work, and regarded the conference as a forerunner to better health conditions among the colored people and the entering wedge to a larger group of state aid. He said that he is a strong among the race. He said it was a regrettable fact that Maryland spent $300,000 annually on white tubercular patients, but not one cent for colored. He declared that the governor was heartily in favor of a sanitarium for colored consumptives, and believed that the plan would be the work of the along this line by the next legislature. Mr. Graham was firm in the conviction that there is no race line in disease, and that the white people, as a measure of general safety as well as for philanthropy, ought to exert itself to be the most strong conditions of the colored population. Dr. William H. Welch, of Johns Hopkins University, president of the station of health, and an eminent authority on pathology and hygienic subjects, spoke briefly and paid a fine about to "the race's foremost man," Dr. William H. Welch. The Baltimore Sun, in a comprehensive report of the meeting, observed that the audience, entrenched with marked attention to the white speakers and accorded them the compliment of generous applause, they turned out, naturally, in such numbers, the leader of the Washington, leader of the race in America." "The Wizard" receives an Ovation. Dr. Washington, in excellent humor and looking as vigorous as when he decided twenty years ago, received an ovation following his presentation by Chairman Novak, the audience rising and cheering. His address, lasting an hour and a quarter, was a call to the Negroes of Baltimore and the nation to live up to the challenge of the war the goal of improvement and a plea that they co-operate in the new movement to fight tuberculosis and among his people here and elsewhere. In the course of his address, Dr. Washington emphasized the importance of the conservation of health that he had built, a model new building for its colored high school, if each colored man would be a citizen, a friend of the project, and paid a tribute to the men and women of the race who were aiding the civic and economic uplift of the city. He always a pleasure to visit the Monumental City and that no colored people anywhere he has visited were better around the representative citizens here. "Disease Draws No Color-Line." "I am glad of this movement that is emphasizing the matter of health, the matter of cleanliness and the matter of education in institutions in which Maryland," said Dr. Washington. "In the past, we have not case draws no color-line. It's by reason of filth and unsanitary conditions in buildings, growing out of ignorance, consumption, outpour of贪ourious diseases, reach the black community, it is likely to strike from this richest white person in Baltimore." Pointing out particularly the influence of the colored woman in the consolation of health, Dr. Washington said: "When food is being prepared the Negro woman touches the white man's life when children are being nursed, the Negro woman touches the white man's life when clothes are being laundered the Negro woman touches the white man's life." For these reasons, he declared, it was as vital to white persons as to black people in contagious diseases. In Baltimore, he said, 5,160 Negroes were sick all the time in this county, but for Negro funerals, all this entailing a net economic loss to the Negro community, he said. There were 450,000 Negroes sick in the South every day, he said, involving a loss of millions of dollars in cost and a loss of productive capacity half of which was lost to prevent precautions in the matter of health. In prewar measures and actual aid in protection of the Negro citizens, Maryland should lead all the states of the country. Over the past decade, the Negro population all the time and each year some 4,750 die. This means a net loss in earning power to the state, which would then be more than $300,000,000. The net loss to the entire South through the ill health of the Negroes, the easily saved, would furnish six months' schooling for every white and black child, and build good schoolhouses for every black and white child in the South. More and more we should emphasize, not sickness and death, but health and build good schoolhouses everywhere in this health movement." Negroes Get a "Square Deal" in Baltimore Schools. Dr. Washington praised the colored schools of Baltimore and the splendid corps of teachers. "Baltimore, how much we care about the health of its Negroes, was, with the exception of Washington, the city. Nor does the Nero his rightful proportion of the public school THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. funds. Here the Negro population is 15 per cent of the whole, and he gets a share of the land, and cation. Referring to crime, contrary to general belief and contrary to what he used to believe, the Negroes of the North than among those of the South, in proportion to population. He wanted to stop the stamping out crime in the cause of stamping out crime and plead also for a fairer statement of the Negroes of the North. The worthy deeds of the race were ignored, to a very great extent, and its crimes were unduly advertised Dr. Washington was particularly severe on the idle, loafing, drinking and burgling that all unite in getting rid of these undesirables in every community, work, but prey on the gullibility of women, are a menace to the good name of the race, and pull down those whose high places in the esteem of all people. Prohibition a New Encampination for Southern Negro. Coming law favor of the stringent laws adopted in the several states of the South against the liquor traffic. Dr. Washington termed the encampment the encampment for the Negro, one not less helpful to his general welfare than Abraham Lincoln half century ago. "Segregation" Scored as "Unnecessary and Unjust" Dr. Washington was unsparing in his condemnation of the "segregation" measures adopted in Baltimore and New York, and Negro. Race segregation, he declared, was not only unnecessary, but in most cases unjust. Wherever the Negro is segregated, he argued, it that he will have poor lighting, poor streets, poor sidewalks, poor sewerage, poor sanitary conditions, poor health to those forced to live amid such poor surroundings, in the life of the race in its disadvantage and to the disadvantage of the white race. In his home neighborhood, Negroes lived up from choice, not to go to where they were not wanted. They made their neighborhood as at home, and did their best to make it difficult to detect the color of the owner by appearance, and to avoid their need to go where they were not wanted. They made their neighborhood as at home, and did their best to make it difficult to detect the color of the owner by appearance, and to avoid their need to go where they were not wanted. After all, the Southern man who gave the Negro most and to whom the Negro naturally turned when in trouble The speaker closed his eloquent address with an optimistic review of the challenges of freedom and declared that the record had no parallel in history. The record had no parallel in history because of the obstacles in his pathway. European whites are in a condition where they do not mean the "man farthest down." Better days are in sight. Let us be ready when people with our future before us. There is health, happiness and prosperity that will take advantage of the rich opportunities that are offered day by day. Many Attentions Shown "The Wizard." Dr. Washington's day in Baltimore was filled with the guest of Dr. T. S. Hawkins, 1206 Druid Hill avenue, who has one of the finest homes in the Monumental City. With the help of Afro-American Ledger, and others, Dr. Washington was shown many of the business houses conducted by colored men. In the afternoon he went to the fine steamer "Starlight," operated during the excursion season by a colored corporation. In the evening he met the home of Mr. C. C. Fitzgerald, Dr. Washington went to Stoney Run, Md., where he addressed a large gathering of businessmen in the gro Business League of Patapsco county. A big delegation came from Baltimore by special train. At the meeting, a large meeting was held in honor of Dr. Washington at the home of Dr. Hawkins, at which many of the distinguished present. The music at Bethel church was furnished by the choir of Grace Presbyterian church, led by Mrs. Eusebia Maryland Colored Nurses' Association served as ushers, and also showed the visitors the interesting points in co-operation with the chapel, which was a highly creditable display of charts, pictures, etc., descriptive of tuberculosis and other disgustings as to prevention and cure. The officers of the health conference were appointed by the success of the opening meeting and the subsequent meeting of the three days' meeting. The chairman; Miss Ann E. Smith, secretary; Harry T. Pratt, treasurer, and the chairman of the chairman of the executive committee. NEWS OF ST. JOSEPH, LA. (By G. W. Terrell.) MOUND CITY, ILL. Health Week Observed. Health week was observed at the A. M.

Little rivalry among the colored moving picture houses on Indiana avenue. As a result, the public is getting some mighty good pictures. Competition is generally good for the public. The convicted Terre Haute men could not reasonably expect anything else but what they got. They practically admitted everything that they were charged with. It appears shameful that men so high up must endure what is in sight for them, but they offended greatly and knew what they were doing. Consistently, they can not escape their punishment. W. H. Steward, of Louisville, KY, editor of the American Baptist, was in the city last Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Stewart is perhaps the oldest newspaper man of the race. He began his career in 1879, and is still doing duty, getting out "The American Baptist." He is noted for his reserve, his conservatism, also for his well balanced judgment. The opinions of his paper are always respected. The colored barbershop men of Savannah, Ga., were recently struck hard by the state law regulating the shops. Thirty-five in that city alone were ordered closed by the state barber examiners because they did not come up to the requirements. Twenty of the shops were permitted to reopen after having come up with the requirements. The examiners are campaigned against in-the-wall shops, whether by white or colored men. Indianapolis would not have much trouble in getting by a board of inspectors. A few shops, however, would have a little difficulty in standing muster. Jack Johnson, like so many who have gone before him, fought just one battle too many for the good of his reputation. He was so clearly the champion, and he had been so long champion, and he, until the fast, showed such championship ability, that the most of us couldn't figure out how he could fail. Not only the Negroes, but the majority of the white people were thorough, convinced that Johnson's had not come, had come, nevertheless, and he hows to his successor, Jess Willard, a great big young, fresh white man whom he could not stampeed in spite of his rain of blows. The Negroes of Pennsylvania feel sure that the Equal Rights bill before the legislature of that state will pass April 1. Such bills ought to be superfluous, because of that larger guarantee, the general constitution. Their possible good is in that they are more specific, "more" immediate mandatory, fixing a penalty—localizing the law. Indiana has such a law, and which was frequently tried out shortly after it went into effect. We can't say that it has been a success, least, it has not done that was expected of it. If it has any value it must to the fact that the Negroes have recourse to it; they may sue under it, even if they have only reaped a crop of judgments. They may do things better in Pennsylvania. We hope them success. The great Panama exposition is now on in California. It's a long, long way to that seaport, but we have concluded to make it easy for some who are anxious to go.

She is still doing it with an alarming consistency. Of course, it is not the pleasure or the will of Great Britain to do so, but the fact remains that she is doing so. Her immensely superior navy, in numbers, as well as formidability, perhaps, will save her against elimination from the seas, but the frightful losses by an inferior navy is not in the interest of that confidence of which England boasts as it concerns her title as the "Mistress of the Seas." England's very strength on the highways of the waters makes her weak in this respect. Ships riding "every wave" can not be sufficiently protected, meaning "points" of weakness always exposed. The moral ought to be that war has no proper place in this day of the utmost civilization. Rachel L. Walker, one of the leading American prima donnas, is again in this country after a long absence in Europe. Miss Walker has had excellent advantages abroad, studying with some of the best teachers; also teaching classes herself. Before going abroad she was considered the first singer of her race. With her experience and subsequent training abroad, she is able to hold her own with the best singers of the day. Miss Walker has not joined any company; she will tour the country, giving recitals where she finds it most convenient and agreeable. If we would attempt to class her with one of her own race as a singer, only the name of Azalia Hackley suggests itself. As for experience, and long years abroad, Miss Walker has had the advantage. If the two women could arrange to tour together the colored people of America would be very stupid if they did not give them all the support they need. The segregation ordinance passed by the Louisville Board of Councilmen was sustained by the court last week. The judge ruled that the law did not conflict with the Federal constitution, therefore it was not an act of discrimination. And, according to the letter of such laws, they are not discriminations since there are equal restraints. But here is a case where fair is false. The object is to shut the colored people out of good communities. The Federal constitution only exacts that the laws be fair, impartial, affecting one as the other. And as those new constitutions of the Southern states were made, respecting the letter, just so these ordinances are drawn up. We can only attack their purpose, insisting that the intent is to destroy the spirit of the laws, a very fleeting defense all must admit. The remedy, if there is a remedy, is to get those who make the laws, the white people, to believe in us as desirable citizens. And our part is to make the belief good by measuring up fully in all particulars. ARISE. COLORED INDIANAPOLIS. The colored citizens of Indianapolis have many members of worth, intelligence and thrift. They should all heartily unite to put an end to the disgraced denial of ordinary civil rights and begin a stubborn fight to defeat this victory of the Bourbon South in robbing them of equality.—The Boston Guardian. The above is visited Editor Trotter's observation after having visited the city last week. Taking in what he said in a general war, it is in order since there are biased conditions here as there are everywhere our people are in large numbers, including dear old Boston. There is no reason for a special campaign at this time, and because we are accorded just about the same consideration as we find accorded us under the most favorable circumstances. Some communities are somewhat better than Indianapolis, but when one takes into account the location and the number of colored people here, we doubt very much if any city has it on us. Of course, this is nothing to boast of, and yet it is a matter of congratulation that we are faring, no worse than others. It is nothing to boast of, because that would mean supreme satisfaction. There can not be supreme satisfaction as long as a people are in the least restricted in their civil rights. While restricted, we are not inconvenienced. Practically, or in some form we have every right that can come to an American citizen. This is especially true in Northern cities. We are not denied schools, hotels, railroad cars and so forth. We vote and are voted for them. Things come to us, some of course, that is an open way, and that's the rub. We mean that it may be necessary to attend our own schools, churches and hotels. This is unAmerican; not inconvenient; but dangerous because the tendency is to shut us out of general affairs. When optimistic we can find very much in our favor as Negroes. "As Negroes," that means very much. Nor is it necessary to awaken the long train of associations. As American citizens, we perish in our rights in that they do not measure up fully all along the line. But in this city there is no special reason for attack, nor is there any point for special attack. We have already stated that we are faring as the best one. There is no reason for a soriate. There can only be a genius at the time, and it can only be through decided preparation. Great broad principles, such as Health Week, Morals Week, and talks of domestic and farming interests, are the ground essentials. The general conduct of our society when abroad, when among interested spectators, is a good card to draw to. One bad actor in a theatre or in a street car can upset the good impression of ten well-disposed persons. We are given to thinking of ourselves when we rail at the white people, when every one of us that claims to be anyways careful knows that we have seen conduct by our own kind that has made us ashamed that white people should see it. Very much of this low buffoonery and clownishness goes on, and where it does the most harm. Can we expect the white people to treat us on equal terms in the circumstance that much as Mr. Tewah are the "vast" minority. What is needed most is to get a "kultur" of some kind that will hold the race to an ideal of conduct. The majority rules, ordinarily. If the majority is unleavened, the elect will have to fare similarly. Whatever we do may not raise us to what we expect; but if we work along the lines announced we will get more than we are getting. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THE JITNEY BUSSES. The jitney busses are with us, and, seemingly, fill a long-felt want. They were first heard of in the far West, in California, where, for convenience and cheap means of getting about, they were at once a pronounced success. Other states quickly followed "suite," and now the larger cities of the great Middle West are teeming with them, "breeding," as it were, as prolific as Australian rabbits. The jitney busses are automobiles that serve the pubs as street cars. They serve the public better, in that they carry the passengers, then, too, to the town. Then, too, they give that touch of luxury that comes from being conveyed in an automobile, much like that one gets when riding in an enclosed carriage, or back—all for five cents. But like most of the best things of this world, there seems to be a getting together on the part of some people to shut the Negroes out—a sort of unconscious conspiracy, perhaps. Whatever it may be, we know that in many places where the public generally is expected, the Negro is not expected. We have had our hotel woes, and theatre woes, and Jim Crow coach woes, and now we have our ittney busses woes. The opposition to Negroes began at once, right with the creation of the "institution," and where the Negroes thought they had "preferred" claims to exemption from civil iniquities. But California has long drawn on those sections which were unfavorable to the race, for its population. It was Dr. Jordan, of Leland Stanford University, of that state, who said in effect, that no matter where a people went they carried with them those attributes known to them when at home. The fact that a white Georgian now lives in California does not change his "spots." He took with him his budget of prejudices and hates, and in due time they were called forth to serve him—as if by requisition. The bus managers fought the colored people, and who fought back valiant enough, but with what effect we are not prepared to say. Nor does it matter so much as it concerns the purpose of this article. We are showing that effort is being made to shut us out of the great big, useful things, and which use is a common right. Owing to race conditions there are some things which may be viewed as common which might be overlooked. They are overlooked, based purely on differences of race, a thing which the general constitution does not stand for. There are other things, such as the one under discussion, which must ever be protested or we lose our citizenship through default. To protest may only result in protest, but the form of theoretical citizenship is maintained, which is much as a as a weaker people can do. The pretenders to thrones are respected for the pretense even if in exilement and total abandonment—their names have meaning, and when uttered cause the blood to surge through the viens of those concerned in suite of the known security. A few weeks ago a St. Louis judge said, in deciding a case of complaint against the jitney busses: "If Afro-American passengers can not ride in the new jitney busses they must be taken off of the streets." This decision was in agreement with the spirit of the laws. The judge in the case should be congratulated for his determination to stand for what the laws mean. Rarely, only, are men called to judicial places who do not know what is absolutely right in such cases. It takes nerve to decide right. Think of it! It takes nerve to decide right, and we sympathize with those of further South where prejudice has seized on, and holds nearly ever that this is grisp. Earlier even that this section we can see no reason why judges should not decide according to law. Speaking somewhat to this point, one of our race publications of the South recently had this to say: "There are some who are disposed to believe that Negroes whose home is south of Mason and Dixon's line, accept with thanks, the rules, regulations and laws that mark them as inferior beings, but the avidity with which they seize upon any opportunity to escape these humiliations, is evidence that they have not lost the spirit that makes a man a man. Take the jitney bus as an example. Shortly after the enactment of the Jim Crow street car legislation, in many cities of the South, Negroes ran automobiles to carry their people about the cities. This, of course, was expensive. But now, with the advent of cheaper cars the prospect of cheaper power, and the establishment of jitney busses, Negroes in many of these cities are seizing the opportunity to show they are restive under the laws that set them off as things to be scorned." We regret very much that we failed to note the name of the journal quoted. The editorial is timely and very sensible, showing through the earnestness displayed as well as the facts that a true condition is set forth. One may read between the lines what we have said above about the everlasting protest, even if it seems to avail nothing. Something avails. Nothing is in vain. If opposition is not struck down, then the race is buoyed up, breaking out for good on its own account.

She makes to make them go—a splendid full of warmth, a mouth which feels full and free and action in accord. she can ogle, use her eyes effectively. She makes a pretty stage figure. She sings "It's Hard to Get a Black of Your Mind," composed by herself, and also by herself. Her third song, "Want You," is by Mr. Minor, of her Minor. She sings all of them with her. On the Account of the Fatal Punch of Jess Willard. Ucar De Priest Leads in Aldermanic Fight in Chicago. CHICAGO, Ill., April 6.—(Special) One can hear on State Street is the sound of Willard. The losing of "Jack" on Bloom State Monday afternoon and night. One of the big losers was Jim Jones, proprietor of the Bible Church, who no big celebration as was two years ago. Every one however, was ready. All the cafes had extra cases of treats and beverages but when the surprise round announced that the church had instructed the curse south side, Mrs. Johnson, mother of the fighter, could not. When the news first arrived, she it could not be true; my son licked, and his prize was no. sir. He must have worms were heard at the saloons, the biggest crowd was at the Grand, but put a sign standing room only in the doors were opened. Mrs. Crowder says she never saw such a crowd and every reminded the woman was on the first time. "Fat" Rivers, the entertainer, sat at the ticker crowd and every one seemed to be in a conversation that "Jack" would be announced that Willard had won, they knocked out quietly, but surprised that No one seems of the crowd that Willard had pointed out that, if the fight had been "fixed" there would have wizard Wardian money just before the fight. Relief was going to Jack and his wife will go to Paris and conduct a boxing and athletic school. Oscar DePriest Leading: As we mail this letter on Tuesday evening, reports are that Mr. Oscar DePriest, the former chief of the fight of the Second Ward. His opponent is Mr. Russell, a saloon keeper. He pulls his badges but the majority ask for his badges before he enters in the history of Chicago have before him. The settlement upon one man as they have Mr. Priest and the forecast is that he will OUR NAV YCHAMPIONSHIP BELTS LONG AND SHORT BOUTS. Owing to the limit of eight rounds set by the Navy Department on boxing, California has enacted law more than four rounds, and the fact that it is absolutely necessary for both the fleet and both beets are together in San Francisco this spring, the rules governing the OUR NAVY championship waters only, champions must defend waters only, champions must defend waters only, and boats must shore. While in other than California waters or on board ship belts will be transferable in bouts of eight rounds or more. For the OUR NAVY belts must be at the required weights; no catchweight bouts permitted, and no catchweight bouts involved in a bout must be explicitly stated in the articles of agreement with the sporting editor of OUR NAVY must be furnished a copy of the articles and a report of the bout, so that a record may be kept of the wheatsubs of the 3. The weights for the OUR NAVY boat are over 158; middle=158 or under; welt-145 or or under; light-133 or under; middle=148 or under; light-138 or under. The last two weights are raised two pounds owing to the light feathers and bantams in the service. 4. OUR NAVY belts are also trans-required weights. 5. The required weights. 6. Elimination bouts may be at catchweights but the actual championship bouts must be at the re-required weights. There is a lot to be said in favor of short bouts. Many contend that short bouts are the toughest boxing. But no less an authority than James W. Cofforth states that short bouts both the tough and the work works both the boxing under clean breaks, no blitting in the clinches, the boxer would undoubtedly lose the case of Eddie Cump, who wins in short bouts and gets knocked out in long ones. How would Bat Attle be handled in four rounds? 9 zero for the Battler. On the other hand many a clever boxer has stepped over the four rounds and much route action is bigger and much action as possible into a short distance, has made a slugging match and rougher slugger than Willie Winkler. It has a frisco, and Willie beat many a clever boxer in four rounds. Some four rounds. There never was a slower starter than Willie Ritchie, but when he used to get off to a flying start, it is a straight 50-50 proposition and favors neither the boxer nor the fighter. He has only sixteen minutes work out for you and get busy in the first minute of that sixteen under ten minutes of TIMES, the four round shows provide all kinds of action and with eight or ten boxers at sixteen or twenty different ships, the most ardent fan will surely get his evening's enjoyment out of The Athletics. THE DOUGLASS THEATRE, MA CON, GA. (By H. Woodard, Trap Drummer.) The Douglass theatre put over another good bill this week. Berringer & berringer open gallery w/ Named Daisy, Mrs. Berringer has lost none or ner charms and her work is a great gift. Government Nugent, who is on the bill, got in late and was unable to go on, but the Douglass theatre had a great emergency had the returns of the Jack Johnson and Willard prize fight in which kept the large audience which was crowded into the street at a high pitch of interest. Of course it was bad news for Johnson, who knocked out. This pop-rock always has its share of the show going public regardless of what other shows are in the city, in fact, it has built a reputation that management can always depend on. MULE AND JEANETTE BRADFORD AND HAM TREE HARRINGTON DRAWING LARGE CROWDS AT THE RIBBY THIS WEEK. (Louisville, Ky., Special.) Ham Tree opened the show and what it takes to open it he happens to have it. Kleen and Dudley should get this one, but you don't. Ham Tree and Jeanette followed doing an entirely new act. Jeanette cleaning up with Mule's new song, "Caramel," their opening number was a winner. Merle says performers don't take these two numbers because he has restricted these two numbers. You keep on singing the others. WHY ALLEN'S MINSTRELS CLOSED Mose McQuity writes to let the readers of the Freeman know that Allen's Minstrels did not close on account of bad business as the show makes money.

The Russells Score at the Grand Three Kratons Last Week's Fen- tance The great fun producer at the Grand was Joe Russell, whose dancing march and comedy work made a hit. His wife, who is a good dancer, wore four styles of fine dresses and their act was new. The white acts were Patrick Miles, a fair Irish comedian. My friend, a young midwivesia, depicted his support included a young man with flowing hair, who acted with twitches and stared like a maniac, and a pretty soubrette. The two Alfreds were extra fine athletic balancers. Anthony & Ross were good in comical Italian dress and the Veggie Norma were five other club manipulators. The last half of last week had the Three Kratons, who attracted in their hoop-land comedy. The Blank Sisters in Luzon and other bright numbers, including lavish dresses, pleased well. The white acts were Charles and the Veggie Norma in "The Teacher and the Man" as a pleroid picture of domestic life, and his support was good. Nolan & St. Clair were good in animal imitations and the actress was a good singer. The diamond quartet were fair singers in a country school scene with a good character actor as a teacher and a well-colored bill in a contest is announced. Kelly & Davis at The New Monogram Yenble, Owens & Harper Make Good "What are you going to tell Master Peter?" is what Amon Davis, of Kelly and Rousseau, taught both he and Kelly, gave pleasure in a new act and danced cleverly. Sweet Venable, a good man and a pleasant sweet soprano, and Leonard Harper, a very fine scientific dancer, were new contenders who made good and attracted interest. Sweet soprano and Leonard should have worn a picture hat in the finale. George West, a black face comedian, was a good friend. Davis & Davis another new team, fared well and had good voices. The old comedian was opened as a picture house to very poor business. The patrons of that house care only for vaudeville. The pictures were hot up to the standard of the pop stars. The Picture Houses The States had big business as usual and the Lincoln is far exceeding expectations. The Henry is always crowded and will be able to withstand all opposition. The Fountain is growing in favor. The Washington keeps right in line and the Pekin is now a popular picture house. The Atlas fills up early The Cabnrets. The Panama has a splendid concert bill and Mexican Frank is doing well in the cafe upstairs. The Californian Inn has a large kitchen with a summer kitchen. All Russell took to his bed with a nervous breakdown on the eve of election day. The Deluxe had his business and the New York Times had his age at the old Elite is continuous and in the lead at Thirty-first street. The New York Times had his age at the late. The Transfer, Porty-seventh and State street, is the newest popular buffet in evidence. The Chateau, the most luxurious street in New York, is now in blossom. Manager Samuel D. Williams has proved his popularity and Joseph R. Duckett has more than an equal mortgage on the patrons and his friends. **STAGE NOTES AND STROLL NEWS.** Charles Gilliam, who has opened the New York Times, is looking to take a flashlight of all his friends all summer at 4715 Street street. Hiram Sorrell, the ventriloquist, and mutual friend of two acts has arrived in town and will probably be seen on the Stroll at an early date. Richardson and Towel have left for Philadelphia and from there they go to meet his old partner, Jack Smith. I sent a letter to the guardian of Cecil Watts children in care of the two accident victims, and am also expecting out of town managers to respond also. Buddy and Toy Brown opened last week at Delaware, Ohio. They are booked several weeks over the Gus Sun time. DeKoven Thompson's latest sacred sacerdote was the request of Geo. H. Webster and Mrs. R. T. Crane, was recently sung at Trinity white Episcopal church by the soloist, Mr. Raymond Gordwell. The defeat of Jack Johnson cast a gloom among both white and black race members, which is in such an unsettled condition at this period. I saluted his most important role, which is in such an unsettled condition before the fight. I did the same with a word of regret after the fight. But she wore a smile of content which is the home soon and both plenty of money. Get your way paid to the Panama- Expositor. The Freeman will your expense. MR. T. L. CORWELL GOES TO TEXAS. Special T.

They have got some trio. They have closed here to open April 5 on the Dudley time, the Smith, manager of the Douglas theatre, hates to see them leave, as their act is clean and chassy. Genevieve Stearn, the dainty little soubrette, is putting over some of her Genevieve Stearn, that dainty little Harold S. Jackson—"That Syncepted Man of Mine" and "Oh. How I Miss that Brown" and "How I Miss that she has it." Then comes Harry K. Stearns and old "Hard Tack" H. S. Jackson. Their talk is so with his neat dancing puts him in a Hard Tack, Mr. Stearns is some straight man and with his neat dancing puts him in a Hard Tack, takes off the comedy and what I mean he's got 'em. He is singing his own show with I Wouldn't Lend Brother Gable a jitney" and "Right Here is Where I Curve. We have to give him a stick to.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 6 Officers and many of the crew of the German cruiser, Prince Eitel, that is now undergoing repairs in the New York Port, was veryளுவாயுவா. He was a lorely and witnessed "His Excellency the President," while playing Newport News. They were delighted with the performance. It was noticeable, as the officer was a similar with the English language as they laughed heartily at the jokes. Dr. Kruger-Kroneck, the ship's physical work, was very good to the ship's song, "I'm Neutral," and ordered ten copies to be distributed among the crew. It was also impossible to look at the limit of fact that the ship's men and realize that perhaps before this paper goes to press most of them will have found watery graves. At any moment the Prinz Eitel may be ordered to be a dashing paper. The chance is one in a thousand, for just outside the capes and near the Hampton roads three British and one French cruiser are waiting for the return to the port. The ship's shipment is a converted cruiser and not a match in an even fight with a first or second line battleship. The Germans' prayings were very short and too late to be a superior speed of their vessel to make good their escape. After the show Mr. Corwell entertained the officers at the Elks Club. He was introduced to the Englishman who was neutral. Germany pronounced him a poor good fellow. Office King and Nina Marshall, of the Cuban Trio, visited the show in Baltimore. They were en route to Richland Park, which had been sent to the client-client health and were not at all discouraged by the hard theatrical season. While in Baltimore they received relevant information, he was a member of the Trio, who had remained in New York and was supposed to join Misses King and Marry and have been in the United States. He stated that it was impossible for him to join them, and the girls were at a loss what to do. Viola had committed the underdogs to the show. The girls need—quit without notice. The girls say she was unduly influenced by a male member of the Robinson Trio. It was not a personal practice of the other time. It is a performer being guilty of such a reprehensible act. There are performers, mostly men, who aspire to be the only men who are the only staffless to hustle around and discover good talent by their own honest efforts, but like disreputable birds of the same age, they are made up of the most once upon and steal away some choice morsel of talent from their most thrifty fellow workers. It being the one of the most thrilled in Virginia, we were able to loan the girls the assistance of Miss Ethel Marshall. He said that he had a high-approved degree that had a city. He was very well provided by the services of Miss Ethel Marshall. Miss King writes that she is undecided whether or not they will secure an in-law's position to the other two. He is a sister of the remainder of the season as a sister team. . . . Mr. Chas.

Shrevesport, La., March 25.—I wish to state to the members of the colored community in regard to disagreement between myself and the former members of my company, fourteen of whom got off course in regard to disagreement of course, as they gave me no notice they violated the contract they were working with. Many of their hold back salary. On December 7, owing to the financial condition of the country and the deep depression, I was in a businessiness, and as this was a tent show working out of season, I gave the members of the company a chance to take their chances of working for their board and promised them one-half salary if business conditions were all right. I would not take any chances on losing money trying to run a tent show in the winter time under such unfavorable conditions. Since that time and up until the first of March the show did not play to expenses and I put $1,200 into the show to keep it running. After giving these people employment and feeding them all winter as soon as spring opened up and other shows began to start out they commenced jumping to other shows without giving me a moment's notice. Those that gave me the usual two weeks' notice I paid in full. The others I refused to pay any back salary which they forfeited according to contract. Respectfully yours, GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA Miss Carita W, who at one time was leading lady with the late Ernest J. Thompson and the jovial jouisness since last we saw her. This handsome singer and comedienne was the headliner at the Standard and the United Nations and characterizations which were heartily applauded by an appreciative audience for their share. They are favorites wherever they go. The Robinson Thompson and Grant Rector and Farson Trio helped to round out a good show and sent every one my smileful and happy. HUNTINGTON'S MINSTRELS. (By Pearl Moppin.) The mighty minstrels were in Helen six days painting and repairing for the spring season, so we have a large musical stage. The gigger has a complete change of program for the audience each night. We have more than 20 cities. Mr. Erwin Watts thoroughly knows just how to handle his performers to get the best results. His difficult job is to create the features and minstrels don't have them. He is introducing it successfully and all singing and dancing with him, perfectly suited than with the old-time semicircle. Plenty of ginger and clean cut comedians perform their pictures; ballads are the successful efforts of the funny comedians posing as waiters, three-men orchestra and waitress. The waitress is Rastus Lee, who keeps the audience in an uproar with his funny dancing, peculiar movements and eclectic styles. The waiters are Billy Jones and Ed. Robinson. Good comedy and singing No Place on the Alabam" resumes the applause. William Saddler as a butler gets gingered by his sudden curtains in different events without an invitation. Songs by our ladies are all going big. Bute Dora Tora gets her hair styled in a tart, sings very sweetly "When You are a Long Ways from Home," and from the reception she receives the "You Have Got to be Kind to Me" no one in the audience would be otherwise. She sings the song with "Edwards with 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary," is just the favorite with the people as the song is good and pleasing. One would have to go a long, long way to hear this song better rendered in the rock concert. Renell Robinson sings "Bring Me Back My Loving Honey Boy," she is large but oh so light on her face. Renell Watts, Warren Irving and Jolly E. Davis as Professor Apus, monkeys and snowball orchestra close up, sets splitting comedy and queer music. Warren Irving's song, "Chesapeake Bay," and the work he does with the Snowball are the limit when it comes brings rounds of applause. Ernest to natural comedy, and A.J. McFarland, a lady assisted by A.J. McFarland, one of the most competent men of late. His rendition of "Song of Ages" gets him many en- Davis and Davis, Jolly and Mazie, have one of the best, neatest and cleanest acts in the big show, consisting of singing and shingling, with great success, singing with great success "Winter Nights" and "I Can't Stop Loving You Now." They are a big hit and wardrobe No. 1 on and last act in next issue Records to all. CINCINNATI, OHIO, THEATERS. The Lincoln. The spring opening at this theatre was very auspicious indeed. The pictures were excellent and the vaudeville Allen & Wiggins, for openers, were the strongest seen here and the whole time Ful of good, clean comedy, with singing and dancing. Mr. Allen still has his fiddle and Mr. Wiggins has lost one of his dancing actors. Mayme Payne Trio closed the bill to the theatre. The eccentric dancing of the elongated comedian of this act, caused continuous outbursts of laughter and applause in the audience, and the straight man were also very good. Miss Payne in her Spanish and other dances more than I would call a very good bill. LOCAL. It seems as though Cincy is beginning to be a haven for performers. In 1995, he played Davenport, Lonnie Crosby, Green Coleman Minor and, of course, Arthur Allen and Wiggins. They were later in Cincy when it is now classed as a Cincinnati favorite. Much gloom over the defeat of "our champion." It simply shows that age must bow to the inevitable and allow master to win. What he has away, what else might be said about Jack Johnson, let it be said to his undying credit, he achieved something that would not faults in his adversity. Mrs. Jane Goff, one of Cincinnati's pioneers, preached peacefully away at her home on Rosemont avenue yesterday. Noonday services, under the direction of Rev. W. A. Blackwell, have become very popular. Mr. Dempsey has kindled his Pekin Theatre for the meetings. THE J. C.

Boston.—Legalized boxing in this State was killed by the House yesterday, after a snapper in debate in the Senate, the rightmost member of the House of Representatives, took part. Representative, Caro, of Chelsea, instituted for an adverse report on the bill of Eddie Keevin, placing boxing under the State Board of Health, to permit six-round exhibitions to the 40,000 inhabitants. On a rising vote it was substituted, but on a roll call was defeated 32 to 115. Madison.—That the people of Wisconsin want boxing and appreciate the success of the sport, as regulated by the state, in the assembly yesterday, when the Julius Hanson bill, which would do away with the mitt game entirely by making even spectators subject to prison terms, was defended over two years ago. **65** to **60** and **24**. These figures tell the whole story in themselves, and represent about the line of action in the sport, calling. Two years ago, when the Hedding bill legalizing the sport was put on the statute books, the act was passed by only a few votes. **Arthur Duffey**, the ex-amateur spinner, remains the most well-known of his already long list of accomplishments; in the athletic game; but Drew would do better, according to his specialty. At the most, a spinner's life is none too long, and it is the easiest thing in the world to stretch in a spinner, which has knotted it than one champion in the sprint line." BOXING PERMITTED IN EIGHTEEN STATES. TENDENCY TOWARD SHORT BOUTS. It begins to look as if legalized boxing has come to stay. The tendency, however, is that boxers may not always prove satisfactory to those immediately concerned, but without doubt the threat of a legalization. Sheared of what appears the "wicked" features, the contests will continue and increase in popularity, even when states now permitting boxing are: Colorado—Twenty rounds to a decision. Pennsylvania—Shots bouts—no decisions. No commissiones. Work—Ten rounds, no decision bouts, with commission to regulate the same. Louisiana — Twenty-round. matches with decisions. Wisconsin—Practically same law as in New York. Maine — Six-round bouts, with decision Tennessee — Eight-round contests, decisions and no commission. Round bout with no verdicts, conilog. Kentucky—Ten-round bouts, optional in various communities. Washington—Optional contests, but not permitted to any extent. Colorado—Utah, Utah, Missouri. Oklahoma, Georgia and Wyoming—Short round bouts, optional. BOBBY DOBBS RETURNS FROM EUROPE/PARTNER LONG BOBBY DOBBS Opens Training Quarters in New York Town. Special to The Freeman. New York, N.

The fight probably has no parallel in the history of ring battles. For twenty rounds Johnson punched and pounded Willard at will, but his blows were great until at last he seemed unable to unwilling to go on. Johnson stopped, wading and for three or four rounds the battle between the two huge men was little more than a series of plastic poses of white and black fighters with muscular fifth round, when Jack got one of his widely swinging, windmill, right-hand smashes to Johnson's heart. This was the begin- Asks Wife to Leave. There is much discussion tonight and probably will be for a long time among the followers of the fighting game, but the real knockout. In the sense of being smashed into unconsciousness, certainly was not put out. Believe Negro Quilt. The concensus of opinion is that Johnson expected and knew that there was no possibility of his winning the game, but he took the count rather than rise and stand further punishment. Johnson has often stated that fighting would not submit to repeated knockdowns when he found he had met his master. A second or two after Jack Welsh, the former president and he would quickly got up. It was well that he did so, for a moment later a rush of spectators to the fighting place for the game.

Under the escort of the soldiers Willah and Johnson left the ring and went to their dressing rooms, while the crowd cheered and broke into wild discussion. Willard was out of his car and was driving his automobile on his way back to Havana. He was escorted half way to the city from the Marianacan race car, which was held, by a troop of Cuban cavalry. Cowboy Is Hero. Crowds lined the streets and narrow roadways, and the new white champion was loudly cheered. He was deceived through the fight, and tonight is the hero of the island, running to the city from the fight flew white flags and the news spread far and wide that the white challenger had beaten the new champion, and the crowd in the streets waved flags and lined handkerchiefs tied to sticks. At one point a group of negro children, a evidently weared black flag at the champion, who was much amused, probably is the most modest champion who ever stepped out of a prize ring, taking his victory as philosophically as he had looked forward, showed much evidence of having been engaged in a heavyweight championship battle, and left cheek shivers slight but, at no time was there more than a drop or two of blood in evil. Feared Bloody Battle. In this respect the fight was in great contrast to the Johnson-Jeffries fight at Reno five years ago, when he plashed over the spectators at the condition might prevail in linking that this Johnson might prevail to the presence of a white woman in the newspaper seats and relegated to a place out of possible range. The fight between heavyweights that has gone to a finish was cleaner or less brutal. Johnson's left eye was partly close in the early rounds, but his right eye was fully fighting. His lip also was cut inside, and his famous golden smile flashed. End Comes Suddenly. The end of the fight came with a suddenness that dazed the spectators. it followed two or three rounds of alarms, and then the crowd settled down of the contestants and the crowd settled down to a long drawn-out struggle, believing that it would go to the limit of the forty-five rounds, before being able to register a knockout. The early rounds were filled with matches of Johnson's former wonderful player, Willard, to Johnson's body and face, delivering ten blows to one from the big white challenger. Through all this match, Johnson's defensive and on one occasion Johnson played with him, once standing with card down and letting Willard swing at the awkwardness of his opponent. In many respects the fight resulted in many predicted, Willard and his friend, Johnson, both punishing that if the battle lasted twenty rounds Johnson could not win. This was based partly on the belief that Willard could inflict, and partly on the doubt as to Johnson's condition to his ability at his age to fight at a proper height, weight, reach and youth. Willard, who is being acclaimed to be the new champion, is going to the United States to play a fortier height, weight, reach and youth. Willard, who is being acclaimed to be the new champion, is going to the United States to play a fortier height, weight, reach and youth. When Johnson got $30,000 before the start, Willard taking only a small part of his share was in no known Willard said before entering the first that he expected to take a beat-eight for ten or fifteen rounds at the bar, the opponent, and had trained to withstand. As a matter of fact, he took twenty punishers, laughed the blows as he stood up against the rushes of the negro, who waited times in each of the earlier rounds to the ropes. Willard's back showed he roped wells raised by the ropes as in the rushes Johnson would attack Willard in the body, and when the hands and arms came down to guard the opponent, he would swing rights and lefts to unprotected jaw and face. After these attacks, Willard carefully cut these attacks, Willard Golden Smile Disappears. The early rounds began to change to the rounder rounds, and the battles entered into the twenties, and it was termed the spectators when the team was useless to the conclusion that it was the young Western giant. Johnnina also seemed to know that he was condition to fight forty-five, which blows lacked the force which sent defending the most rung of the pugilistic ladder. Time had done its work. It had been the opinion of Johnson and many, who have to be in the best condition to skip Willard, underrating the latter's condition and stamina. The first was all Johnson's during the first two rounds, or twice taking the aggressive. and then swinging clumsily and wild meanwhile his body was growing pink as the blows that flashed from Johnson. These rounds Willard took a beating from Johnson, the blows nary fighter down and out. The crowd got used to seeing him throw off these rounds and the defenders to see Johnson do the same thing then the negros lard swung his right to the negro's twenty-sixth round. They expire up and continue fighting, just as Willard had come back, but the old cham- pion had fought his last championship fight. Fan Cries "Fake." From the twentieth round to the final fight, looked slow and the crowd began to cheer. He had somebody do something. There was a single cry of "fate!" but it was not the other spectators. The reason it looked so bad because Johnson, who had been doing fighting, suddenly stopped and began sparring or so that time before Willard and his seconds realized that Johnson was through and only needed a blow or two. During the early part of his job, Johnson carried all the old-time confidence and self-assertiveness. He constantly mandled words with the specimen, and he rarely sat at Willard, who needed the egro's chatter about as little as he did his hows. Willard seconds were after Johnson all the time, warning him to keep away from Willard's terrific right. It was in the sixteenth round that one of Willard's seconds shouted: "Jack, you run into me," and he said: "we will pick you up right over here." Jess Has Bright Future. It so happened that when Johnson wrote to the count it was in Williams, corner. When a spectator called out: "Johnson, you will get your yours today," Johnson is good money in it, isn't there?" Willard will probably take his will already he would not fight, another he would not fight, another he would not fight, today's fight will do the new challenge for good. Today he was palpably nervous and at first was afraid to go at Johnson, then constant pressure to go out and then continue away instead of following up an advantage when it came to him. Johnson hardly be said at present that Willard is a great fighter, but he is a wonderful specimen of physical manhood, pressiveness and skill that may make him invincible for years to come. Johnson today is a great Johnson today. A more skillful man might have knocked Johnson out after the twelfth round for after that the negro was going on speed and nerve Throughout the fight the Cubans kept shouting words of encouragement like "bear!" and "knock him out and let us go home!" When one spectator shouted at Johnson that he was an old man the egro "shit! just match the old man with that man! Willard twice across the ring, knocking his head first to the right and to the left with a series of cross blows. Throughout the twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third and twenty-fourth rounds Johnson was knocked out by Willard who was ever ready to break ground. When Johnson finally went down in the twenty-sixth round he rolled over and down with terrid intensity and his arms drew up as though to shield his eyes from the glare while the referee There was virtually no big betting here on the fight. The odds for small wagers today varied from 0 to 5 to 10, but the big contest could hardly have been more picturesque. It was held in Oriental, Texas, a 12-mile miles from Havana. This park, in a sort of natural amphitheater, is surrounded by verdant palm trees, palm tree standing sentinel. The ring was constructed immediately in front of the grand stand and was surrounded by temporary fencing, patrons, and fashion overnight. Island Notables Present. The crowd which paid to see the fight would be difficult to estimate, but it looked to number between the 10,000 and 5,000 persons viewed the fight from the distant slopes and hills. The Cubans, who made up a large percent of the crowd, many women, both Cuban and American, were present, as well as all the notables in the island. The battle, a half-holiday having been declared informally, Tonight, however, the streets are ablaze with lights and the Cubans are celebrating. Willard's team blocked the plaza in front of Willard's quarters at the hotel when the new champion returned triumphant for the first time. The demonstration was something to Willard, who had been quietly about the streets or the last two hours blocked by the barrassed school boy. The giant was slapped and maudled and pelted with flowers as, with his training partners, Willard was shaken and thronged. Once in his own room he was his quiet self again, chatting informally as if he had just returned to the school. A victory in a championship battle. Willard said that none of Johnson's blows hurt more than momentarily, exerting twelfth round, which made him grasp for breath during the balance of the round to the deepest, but one of his left foot was slightly sprained and swollen from a twist. Johnson was the only one during the fight he kept extending his left foot until he could press against it. The new champion said tonight: "I have no immediate plans for fight in the future. I am obligated to play the fight and would like to rest at home after an exhibition tour which I understand is projecting of the final round that won him the victory Willard said: "The blow that brought a fight to a right-hand to Johnson's body a right-hand to Johnson's body early in the last round. I felt Johnson grow limp in the second championship within reach. A left to the body and a right smash to the jaw put Johnson down for the Johnson Goes to Country. Johnson returned to his room almost immediately after the fight. Aside from a cut lip he was unmarked. He denied himself interviewers and about to book this evening left him in an automobile. Up to a late hour searchers were unable to locate the former champion. It was reported that he had left the country until tomorrow. Johnson's house presented a gloomy appearance.

I'd like to explain to the readers of your valuable paper the way the navy finds a champion of his respectability. We have four divisions and other divisions. Each division has so many ships in his division. Each division eliminates one division. Each division has put up their best fighters toinate the divisions for the Atlantic fleet champions of each class. When we go to the west coast this summer we will have a battle for the championship of the navy. I was eliminated, as they changed the weight from 117 to 115 pounds overweight. I was overweight. The first divisions which I am in has eliminated their fighters respectfully: Bell, U. S. S. Texas, 115 pounds. Glavin, U. S. S. New York, 125 pounds. Murry, U. S. S. Arkansas, 135 pounds Saint Louis, U. S. S. Arkansas, 145 pounds Smith, U. S. S. Arkansas, 145 pounds Taylor, U. S. S. Arkansas, heavy-weight. Now these first division champs must meet the second division, and fourth division meet each other, and the winner of the first and second must meet the winner of the third and fourth and that's how we get our winners. We face each with a challenge to all bantams. Most truly yours. SAILOR BURTON, U. S. N. S. U. S. S. Arkansas SMART SET BEAT DALLAS.

As a rule our people do very little thinking, but are content with some else's doorknot for them and simply follow the leader whether he is right or wrong. I have used many different kinds of preparations before I began my own activities. I am always many of you have found them "No good." I began to figure on the proposition and after a good hard and long study, came to the conclusion that a successors were to be to be the ingredients that were healthful, nourishing and life-giving. This had to be applied to the scalp so as to reach the roots of each and every strand. With this "Pure Food Act" to mind, I finally have a strong understanding of the Hawaiian Hair Grower, Danduff Remover, Hair Restorer, Hawaiian Hair Straightener to be used only when using the comb. (Don't mistake straightener for the same data, I'm guaranteed. Straightener for hair growing.) I also make a preparation for the treatment of scalp diseases. In order to prove that my goods are high for the hair, there is not one that I make that can not be taken inwardly without the least fear of harming the stomach. Anything that passes through the stomach without coming to the least injury certainly can not help the hair. How many other manufacturers dare to handle the skin of a child who is injurious to the stomach, then it is also to the root of the hair. You can poison the skin with poisonous water, but by keeping the skin moist, you can keep the skin healthy. A woman in a white dress ties a child's hair. water, they will thrive for a short while, but after consuming a certain amount of the poisonous oil it soon dies out, the same way with hair, and that's why so many people complain about growing hair and then stopping, goods you use is not good for the stomach then it is not good for the skin. There is only one way to grow anything and that is to start at the root. The roots are tree by wetting the branches, a flower by sprinkling the blossoms or anything else, but you get busy and see to it. You can clear water, and if the soil is not rich enough you fertilize it so as it will grow. You can give life and strength to those roots. Just as everything that grows from the earth gets its nourishment, the roots of the hair set their strength from the scalp. Now, if this scalp does not contain the hair set their strength from the hair to grow, then you should use something that will act as a fertilizer. The lack of the nourishing ingredients in the scalp and people's hair being short and hard. Then this is the cause of Hawaiian hair. This happens for the scalp, furnishing it with what is lacking to cause the growth of hair. This happens for the roots of each strand gets the proper nourishments. By the roots THE FREEMAN.
