DETROIT. Mich. July so.-In an
interview here last night Jack Johnson,
the colored heavyweight pugilist, saiA
that he considered a fight with Jeffries
an improbabiltty. as he anticipated that
Jeffries would exact conditions which
he would find il impossible to accept.
He stated that he would not stand for
any guaranty. but would demand
straight winner and loser division OF
the money.
The big fighter said nat the coming
fight with Ketchel did not worry him.
as he felt confident that he would have
no trouble in defeating the middle
weight fighter.
johnson was arrested here yesterday
by q motorcycle policeman on a charge
of exceeding the speed limit with his
automobile. The pugilist was escorted
TO the Central police station, where he
was required 70 deposit S25 as a guar
anty of his appearance in court his
morning. The pugilist produced a 81, 900
bill. which the officers at the station
could not change, and an officer ae-
companied Johnson 10 the factory Of
a local automobile company. where the
requisite s25 was procured and the
pugilist liberated.

Il is believed To- that Jeffries and

Lawyer Newcomb's Illness

Lawyer Leverett Newcomb is home
after six weeks In Philadelphia and
Atlantic City. Since leaving here he
has had some experience in the surgi-
cal line. For some years he has been
suffering with rheumatism and finally
it became apparent that wherever the
rheumatism was bad a lime-like sedi-
ment settled in the joints. To get rid
of this, several operations have been
necessary. Two joints on n hand
had to be opened and one toe had to be
partly removed. The physicians do
not know how to cure this ailment, al
though DIR. Augustus Wilson, of Phila-
delphia, who is we'll up / n medicine
and surgery, has been studying the few
cases reported throughout the country
in the past. Mr.. Newcomb is not yet
free from the ailment, and will no
doubt have to submit to several minor
surgical operations of the same kind in
the near future Nneidnd Journal.

Attended tuberculosis
Commission

DR.. II. III. Tomlin and Otto Koeneke
attended the meeting of the State Tu-
berculosis Commission at Trenton on
October Dist as representatives of the
Wildwood Board Of Health. They
were the only mes present from this
far south in Jersey and were common
ded by Governor Fort for their interest
in the meeting. New Jersey has no
public sanitorium for the treatment of
this disease and the commission was
appointed to see what other states are
doing and try to secure one for this
state. A site near New Elizabeth has
been selected of 1000 acres and an effort
will be made to induce the Legislature
to appropriate money for an institution
there. Governor Fort presided at the
meeting, he being introduced by Bishop
McFaul, chairman of the commission.
The Governor is deeply interested in
the work of stamping out this dread
disease and is doing all in his power to
help the work. Some of the most
prominent medical experts were pres
ent and gave interesting talks, includ-
ing DIR. Richard G. Cabot, of Boston,
the most noted blood specialist in the
country and Prof. William Welsh, of
John Hopkins University. DR.. Evans,
a noted Chicago specialist, also spoke.
They said that by having a hospital for
patients to go TO they would get treat
ment that they would not get at home
and emove them from the danger of
giving other members of the family the
disease. They also stated that fresh
air was the best cure for it. Statistics
show that tuberculosis costs the United
States nearly $3.50, 900 900 each year and
10000 deaths, mostly between the ages
of Is and 80 or one tenth of all the
deaths in the country. In New York
City alone it costs $23, 600, 900 yearly.
The deaths are mostly between the ages
of Is and Al when it claims one third
of the country's deaths. After the
meeting a military reception was held
at the state house in honor of the
guests.

priately decorated for the occasion and

basement of the cottage was the seem
of much merriment during the evening
hours. There was dancing and a
variety of games, recItations by the
children and selections on the violin by
Master Edwin Hewitt. Many pretty
favors appropriate to the occasion were
distributed among those present and
before leaving for their homes the chill
dren were ushered into the dining
room where a sumptuous luncheon was

The third game of the shuttle board
Tournaments at Hotel Grenoble was
played last night and resulted in a
victory for Harry Hewitt's teams by a
score of 1879 to 1877. The other teams
were captained by Lou Maier. These
games are played each week and create
much interest. An effort will be made
to play another series with the Court
House team which won the County
championship from the local team last

Letter to Oliver J. Leigh.
Holly Beach, N. J.

Dear Sir: Ten years ago, there was
one pure paint and 200 adulterated;
there are nov eight pure, 200 adulterat-
ed, about half of the latter short
measure besides.
There is still but one best, and the
difference is ten gallons Devoe goes as
far as eleven next-best-$5--in every
ten gallons.
A new word has come-up in paint;
1t Is strong. Strong paint goes further
and wears longer; weak paint takes
more gallons and wears-out ooner
The proper cost of a 10-gallon job is
$50. Paint that takes II gallons makes
it sos. Paint that takes II gallons
makes it $50. Paint that takes ID gal
Ions makes it s65. Paint that takes 20
gallons makes 1t 500.
The $50 job wears twice as long as
the 800. These figures are not precise
they are round. The ten-gallon paint
is Devoe.
Yours truly

1t became known today that DR.. f.

100 feet of state street frontage plans
the erection within year of a three
story business block
He has notified all of his tenants
that they viii have to seek another To-
cation after their present leases expire.
After he builds his block they will be
able to return to the new building If
they care to pay the rent.
This is but one of the improvements
that are contemplated on State street
and which promise to make this one of
the most important business thorough
faries in the city.
This new block will be a credit to
State street and will enable the many
business enterprises in the city which
are looking for locations to find them.
An answer to an inquiry by THE
TIMES as to what he proposes to do,
DR.. Braginton said he could not give
any definite information at the present
time.
He did not deny. however, that he
intends to build and the presumption is
that in view of the fact that he does
not intend to commence the construc-
tion of his block for year, he hest
tated to make a definite statement to
the fact that he would build.

The fifth quarterly meeting of the
Lake County Rural Letter Carriers as
ISOLATION was held in the Superior Court
building. at Hammond, Sunday. There
were carriers present from Shelby,
Lowell Cedar Lake. Dyer and Crown
Point. 1t was the most interesting ses-
sion of any yet held since the organi-
zation Of the association.
Two new members, Henry Wise. OF
Crown Point, and Ed Hoffman. Of
Cedar Lake were elected new members.
A great many subjects were brought
before the meeting for debate. among
the most important being the matter Of
better dirt roads Travelled by the car
riers. Resolutions viii be offered in the
State Carriers association meeting ap-
pealing to the legislators to pass road
laws to allow non resident free-holders
of a township to sign a petition for the
ealing OF an election for gravel road.

free-holder. being a taxpayer. should
have the right to sign a petition. thus
making it more certain OF an election
being called for the construction OF
more gravel roads which is sorely
needed in many country districts ira
versed by rural mail carriers. A law
will also be asked for empowering car
riers TO be assistant road supervisors,
1t being argued that they should know
if anybody does. how to work and
where to work, where it will be Of the
most benefit to the roads. to the gener-
al travelling public and to themselves.
The big automobile races to be
pulled of in June. wherein they would
effect the carriers in the performance
of their duties on those dates. was dis
cussed, but nothing definite was arrived
at The carriers had their pictures
taken.
