BURNS NEVER IN CONTEST
Championship Fight Easy for Jack
johnson.

Sydney, N. 8. W., Dec. 26.-Arthur
(Jack) Johnson of Galveston, Tex, is
the new worlds heavyweight cham
pion fighter. In fourteen fast and furi-
GUS rounds the big black hammered
Tommy Burns, the little French-Cana-
dian, into an unacceptable pulp and
only the timely interference of the
police prevented a knockout. From
the tap of the gong at the start until
the end Johnson had it on Burns at
every stage of the going.
In the opening round Burns went tc
the floor for the count of eight and
thereafter it was only a question of
how long he would last.
At the end of the thirteenth round
the police officials held a conference
and decided to stop the bout, but
Hugh d. Mcintosh persuaded them to
let the uneven contest proceed into
the fourteenth round.
Burns came from his corner a pitt.
full looking sight and when Johnson
tore into him like an enraged tiger
and he dropped his hands, unable tc
defend himself any longer, the bout
was ordered stopped.

The Ananias Quartet

A dog quartet that sings way
Down Upon the Suwanee River" with
a pretty good semblance of tune. was
the star feature of social at the
Bethlehem Methodist church tonight,
says a writer In Maiden, Mass.
The dogs are owned by the Rev. r.
A. Sheridan, the pastor. and he says
he trained them himself. The basso
is a big bulldog. A little terrier takes
the soprano, while two hounds sing the
tenor and contralto. DR.. Sheridan says
he picked them out of hundreds of
dogs because of their fondness for
music, and that it was not much work
to teach them.
The dog quartet is, however, tame
and inartistic when compared with the
cat quartet trained by Los Angeles
impresario.
Recognizing the subtle indefinable
quality in cats voice whichs impels
the hearer to throw bouquets, shoes,
hair brushes and even fits, a painstak-
ing citizen who loves music haunted
the back yards night after night un-
til he had made selection of quar-
tet.
The basso is a brindled tom, with
tremendous vocal range. The tenor is
Maltese with wonderful compass.
The contralto is tabby, matronly and
dignfled in appearance, and the So
prano is an elfish black kitty, elegant
ly constructed, and able to take c in
altissimo while in the act of skimming
over a high fence.
The quartet will be in great demand
for Sunday school entertainments.
Dates are now being booked.

JAPANESE WANT A PART
IN FLEET FESTIVITIES
Question of Representation May Be
Discussed by Officers Commit
tee at Session Today-An-
other Contribution

How will the Japanese of Los Ange-
les. who have contributed $1,000 to the
fund for the entertainment of Admiral
Evans great fleet, be represented in the
festivities?
That is the question that the officers
committee may discuss at its session
this afternoon at the M. and M. rooms.
If the committee reaches no decision,
then the question may come before the
executive committee at its meeting on
Tuesday. :
AS there is no japanese consul at this
city there is no government ofnclal OIL
the mikado to be invited to participate
in the various functions. Yet 1t is gem
orally known that the Japanese would
not feel that they had been properly
appreciated in the spirit Of their gifts
to the fund If they were ignored.
Most of those who have interest in
seeing that they are not overlooked
suggest that the Rev. j. K. 1nazawa,
superintendent of the japanese Presby-
terian mission on West Eleventh street,
would be the one to represent the Jap
anese in the festivities. A number or
others were suggested by Mr.. An1u'
secretary of the Japanese association,
which raised $1,000 for the fleet fund.
The Japanese of Orange county sent
$3.50 to the fleet fund yesterday which,
with the amount previously credited 20
the Japanese of Oxnard and the Los
Angeles contribution makes the total
gift to the fund $1236.5O.

HELIE THE CHAMP

A NEW world-defying champion has
"a arisen. Prince Helie de Sagan
- has cast the chapeau of valor
unto the ring of courage. and with
folded arms but gnashing teeth, invites
Boni de Castellane and all his clan TO
meet him in combat. De Sagan ex"
plains that Boni did not get the better
of him in Paris. on the contrary, De
Sagan lunged with his cane, missed,
and as the ground was slippery. fell.
The Bible says that the wicked stand
in slippery places, so Boni stood. But
the righteous De Sagan executed
few curley-murlies and spirals on his
left ear. and when he settled down
he was temporarily disabled. But now
his fighting steam is up, and he is
anxious to meet his hated rival.
Il will go in a room with him and his
two brothers." he announces, land
will let some one lock the door from
the outside, and you will see what
will happen. 1t will be difficult to
find Boni and his two brothers when
they open the door and 1 make my
departure from that room." Helie
must have some of the blood of the
Kilkenny cats in his veins. As no
other prize fighter has at any time
seriously proposed to knock out three
antagonists simultaneously, it is evil
dent that De Sagan is a claimant for
the all-around championship of the
world If Tom McCarey knows which
side his bread is buttered on, he will
have Helie signed up and in training
ere another week passes. In I. Burns,
ESQ, the ferocious De Sagan may find
a foeman worthy of his fists. If, how
ever like most Frenchmen this noble
youth believes that the manly art of
offense and of self defense should be
practiced with the feet and not with
the hands, if he believes in the savate
and not in the punch, his bluff will be
called hard in the south, where the
wiry, eloquent and forceful mule
familiar to the Georgia cracker knows
more about savate i'm minute than
the most accomplished Partisan pro-
fessor knows in all his life. The Amer
lean mule is a natural-born savatist.
He savies savate! Let the boatstful
De sagan beware. We foresee his
finish.

HUMAN KINDNESS

VNVER since The Herald published
II the pathetic story of Madeline
AA Thompson, who is doomed to be
a chronic cripple from painful rheu-
matism unless she can obtain treat
ment, there has been a. quick and sub
stantial response from knd-hearted
people who became interested in the
case and believe that actions speak
louder than words and that the best
way in which to express sympathy
with poor little Miss Thompson is to
send money or checks. The Temple
Baptist church headed the list of sub
scribers with $25, but small sums are
acceptable. The success of the sub
scription for Madeline Thompson is
evidence of the wide circulation and
influence of The Herald, as we'll as
the generosity of it's good readers, the
subscribers to the fund. whom it

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
ROSEBERY'S FORECAST

ORD ROSEBERY, a shrewd OBJ
server and keen thinker who has
suffered from the misfortune of
having been born a lord and debarred
from intimate association with the
plain people. whom he likes best, in Il
recent address discussed the political
outlook in Britain from purely phil
osophical and scholarly point of view.
That is to say, he put aside party
prejudices and tried to make deductions
from precedents and present day hap
penings which would afford a measure
of guidance to the inquirer who asks:
What will be the end? To what is
English-speaking civilization travel
ing? Rosebery said that, in his opinion
the Scotch, Irish and English nations
which form the British union, that in
turn is The nucleus of huge, ponder
Gus, worldwide empire, were being
driven to the adoption of a policy of
protection. He said that protection in
itself was a great evil, that it was an
economic mistake and that it invariably
and inevitably led to the temporary
shattering of all political parties OF
posed 20 it and their ultimate merger
in a powerful new party, the party Of
Socialism. Rosebery spoke with horror
of protection, which he said had been
proved to be a great evil but he talked
with even more horror regarding So
cialism, which he said was "the end
of all-empire, religion, faith and prop
erty." To persons familiar with phil
osophical Socialism, with it's mild doc
trines of peace on earth, among men of
good will and regard for your neighbor
equally with yourself. the greatest good
for the greatest number and a square
deal for everybody, Lord Rosebery's
definition of Socialism, in such wide
variance with authorities, is amusing,
but it explains why so many good,
honest, conscientious souls, commons"
as well as lords" poor as we'll as rich,
regard the new political movement
with distrust. Like Christianity, it is
looked upon as a revolutionary doc
trine. 1.-THE men are come among us
who would turn the world upside
down." cried the Roman officeholders
and politicians when the Christian
leaders began the most wonderful re-
form movement in history-the reform
movement that is still, after nineteen
centuries, the strongest force in civili-
zation. And the Roman official cry of
alarm was followed speedily by the
cowardly, bloodthirsty clamor: Away
with them! The Christians to the
lions! The Christians to the lions!"
The spirit of resentment against
great moral and civil reform move
ments still possesses mankind. PRO
lection is a great evil" and great are
the social evils that afflict civilization
today. but, says Rosebery, the most
radical of the antdotes proposed is
worse than the disease!
Lord Rosebery represents a large
class, to be found in every country
where the English language is used,
who, if they dared, would cry: The
reformers to the lions! The reformers
10 the lions!"

An attempt of some of the local
liquor interests to rush the council
and stampede it into giving family
liquor stores another year of existence
outside the liquor zone failed yester-
day in spite of the fact that the attack
had been planned with most consum-
mate political adroitness and strategy.
The liquor question will come before
the council formally on Monday. and
in view of the unsuccessful assault by
the raiders the friends of temperance
will be more on the alert than ever
before.
