johnson Surprises Friends BY Ease
With Which He Wins.
San Francisco, Sept. lo.-Heavy-
weight Champion Jack Johnson sur
prised all puglistic experts yesterday
afternoon by the ease with which he
defeated AL Kaufman in their ten
round fight at the Mission street arena
From start to finish the negro proved
himself master of the Californian at
every angle of the game. and altho the
plucky Kaufman lasted the limit this
was largely due to the fact that John
son didn't force the fighting in the
early rounds When he did try to fin
ish his man in the seventh and sue
ceedings rounds he didn't have enough
steam. Johnson's most effective blows
We're heavy left hooks to the heart and
right uppercut. which he landed at
will when coming out of the cinches
johnson didn' tstand away and spar, but
fought close up to Kaufman and thus
prevented the California from utilizing
his great reach.

ing to reports compiled by the freight
department of the West Jersey & sea-
shore railroad, one of the subsidiary
lines of the Pennsylvania. More than
Ia, 900 carloads-140 miles of cars-of
perishable freight were shipped from
points on the road.
The shipments in 1908 were larger by
2,771 cars than those of 1907, an in
crease of 10 per cent. These figures
derive added Significance from the fact
that the railroad company in the past
year has been carrying on an active
campaign to encourage the further de-
velopment of New Jersey as an agri-
cultural State. The company has sup
piled to produce n commission mer-
chants desiring to buy in various ter
ritories a list of reliable grower and
shippers of commodities from those sec
tions. In addition, a farmers special
instruction train was run for the benefit
of the farmers by the West Jersey &
Seashore. The same policy is also be-
ing pursued in many other sections.
The ID, 042 carloads of produce shipped
from southern New Jersey in 1908 con-
tained the following; Berries, 77,2l0
crates; 519. 096 crates # tomatoes, 112,-

Says Kell0~~.

ST. LOUIS, Mo- April G sc Jrcfnnent
ing his argument in the go eernmens's
case to dissolve the STANDARD OF Conn
pany of New Jersey, stated With great
p~ositiveness that he would compete his
preliminary address by for and that
his associate, c. B.. Moe.ls3e. o. { hi
ernment's opening today. He asked
only five hours, he added, to close his
side of the case. He thought, therefore,
that the intervening three days tef2se
Saturday would be sufficient for the de-
Tense, and the arguments could he con,
cluded by Saturday evening.
Lawyers Milburn, Rosenthal, Johnson
and Watson gently smiled. when asked
RI the arguments could be completed
in that time.
Il guess we will make arrangements
to be here a few days next week. said
Lawyer John j. Milburn. when asked
about the case closing Saturday.
The crux of the argument today was
that the original twenty companies in
volved in the trust agreement Of 1S73
and 1882 were at that time competitive
and illegal under the then existing
common law. The trust was, therefore,
void. The same conspiracy to mnnopo-
lie and restrain commerce had exist
ed continuously until the present day,
bringing the defendants well within the
purview of the existing Sherman law
he insisted.
The attorney charged that the de-
PENDANTS had used interstate rates,
neither filed nor published as interstate
rates, In plain violation of the old in
terstate act.
1.-THE Standard pipe lines" he said,
have refused to comply with the laws
of Congress-, requiring them to act as
common carriers and file tariffs with
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Mr.. Kellogg stated that IF the court
finds this combination to be In re-
straint of trade, and a monopoly, 1t has
not only the power to enjoin the de-
PENDANTS, but possesses as wei tho
plenary power to enforce the terms OF
the provisions of the Sherman law"
