him, arrived today by the Canadian Pa
cific-Australian steamer Makura from sgd
ney. johnson unreservedly declared his
Willingness to meet Jeffrles or any other
man. In an interview just before leaving
for Vancouver. johnson said to an Asso-
ciated Press representative:
'I am willing to meet Jeffries. l am
willing to meet any man In the world, and
I do not think that any one can get a de-
cision over me. much less put me out. 1t
tires me to hear this talk about Jeffries
claiming the championship. Why, when
a mayor leaves office he's an ex-mayor,
isn't her When a champion leaves the ring
he's an cx-champion. Well, IL Jeffrles
wants to try and get the championship
back I'm willing to take him on. No, I'm
not making any restrictions. What's the
matter. though, with the talk Of orange
ments OF a fight with JeffriesH What win
johnson take9 In all the notices l have
seen it's all what Jeffries will take. What's
the matter with what Johnson will take?
I'm the champion. amt I? I want a
winner and losers end. I don't care
whether It is 90 and 10 or u and Is. but
! there's got to be a winner and losers end.
That's how I met Burns.
No Even Division OF Purse.
II knew / could get him and l followed
him around the world before / got on with
him at Sydney to show the people that I
could do It. II Jeffries wants a go, as the
papers say, he's got to see me-, and there's
got to be a winner and losers end"
1t is doubtful. according to the arrange
ments made by johnson, whether any fight
could be brought on with J%effries, Ketohel
or any other man within six months
While his plans are not absolute, he limited
at willingness to change them II anything
big was hung up for a match with Ketchel.
johnson intends TO devote several months
TO a theatrical engagement, having signed
with a syndicate in England for the Lon
don halls, and after an English tour to
tour france and Germany.
Johnson will leave the Makura at Van.

arriving there Saturday. He will continue
his journey to Galveston on Monday, ar

Through Outbreak.

When the South Omaha mob attacked the
Greeks over two weeks ago one victim
of the outbreak was a young man named
Elwood Price, who roomed in the same
house with a number OF Hellenes. All his
personal effects were destroyed and Price
himself fled to Omaha to the home Of
Mrs. Bernice Earle, l01h South Eleventh
street. with whom he formerly lodged.
Price returned to his work at q packing

abused by co-employes because he had lived
In the same house with Greeks. This, 1t is
claimed, preyed on mis- mind and rendered
him unbalanced. Mrs. Earle has filed a
complaint OF insanity against him and he
is now lodged in the county jail.

BRITISH PACIFIC SHIPS.
Empire to Put Formidable Fleet In
That Ocean.

The significant feature OF the report
of the recent British imperial DEFENSE
conference, which has at last been
submitted to parliament by Premier
Asquith. is the fact that the British
empire is again to put formidable
fleet into the Pacific Ocean. II is an
acknowledgement that the Pacific col
onies New Zealand. and
Australia-have finally impressed on
the statesmen OF the British Isles that
the Jap will bear watching.
II will be interesting to see how
Tokyo will receive the news from
London. Immediately following the
formation of the Anglo Japanese alli-
ance, Great Britain practically with
drew from the Pacific. Now, without
the status of that alliance being
changed in the least, she agrees to
put fleet back into the ocean
This move cannot be regarded as
precaution against Chinese or Ko-
rean aggressicns. because they as a
people are helpless. 1t can hardly
be regarded as anti-American. 1t must
be that the japanese realize that the
fears and suspicious of the Austra.i-
ans. the New Zealanders and Cana
dams have been impaired to Great
Britain, her ally. The alliance of the
motheriand with the Japanese has al
ways met with the pronounced disap-

and the New Zealanders and western

they have been clamoring for ships OF
their own ito keep the Pacific from

onstrative reception given the Ameri-

the Australians was planned-and
