WASHINGTON, April IA good,
workable membership was present when
the house of representatives met today
for the first of its semi-weekly sessions.
Chairman Payne was in his accustomed
place and appeared as If a great weight
had been lifted from his shoulders by
the passage of the tariff bill. The CALLER
les were filled with Easter visitors, who
kept up an incessant hum OF CONVERSE

approved, Mr.. Payne offered a resolution
providing for the return of the tariff bill
to the house in order that 1t might be
amended so as to make it plain that
crude petroleum and it's products should
appear on the free list.

AS new states are added the difficulty in

JEFF-JOHNSON BOUT
DOPE IS WORTHLESS
White Man Himself Easiest to Deceive About His
Condition raining Work No Real Criterion
of Staying Powers.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Jim Jeffries arrives in New York to-
day, and the days Of tribulation are
hard for those who write pieces about
pugilism.
Sam Berger viii begin giving out in
terviews at the rate Of two minute,
with no minute intermissions. and after
he has made Jeffries look ridiculous sew
eral times a day. Jeffries will deny what
Berger has said and we will start in all
over again. The big wind at Denver
in the summer of 1908 will be as moth
ing compared with the tornado from
New York. and a cyclone cellar or a
ship without a wireless apparatus viii
be the only refuge for those who wish
to escape.
The matter Of Jeffries and Johnson
slipping OF together, signing rational
set of articles and then retiring to their
cages to prepare for the mill could be
settled IN seventeen minutes, but it Will
hardly be so. Instead, there viii be
blast after blast of hot air, and the
whole thing may shriveI to nothing at

training that he is not the broth Of 8
boy he was FIVE years ago
Records of Little Value
AS a matter Of fact, would that the
Ffadiators would settle their conten-
ton expeditiOusly and silently, for the
hght-if It is fought-will be such an
uncertain and difficult proposition to
forecast that the dope viii settle
down to mere speculation rather than
legitimate reasoning on the merits Of
the battlers as demonstrated by their
records Johnson's record against Dig
men lacks class. JefTries has been out
nd hefz ma so
before he started training that even he
does not know how good he Is. And
Br'er Jeff won't find out his own status
until he has actually been IN sure
enough fight, unless he wakes up in
preparing.
In discussing Jenries' willingness to
take on Johnson and his confident as
sertions that he is as good as ever, It
would be entirely unfair 10 claim tnat
he was Intentionally hOOdWinking the
public or iudulging ia idle boasts IL he
should afteTwaTd be beaten. II is not
only perfectly possible. but perfectly
probable, that Jenries VIII be the
easiest Of all 70 deceive about his own
condition. He doubtless feels as strong
and as hearty today as he ever did in
his life. and even better than when he
went into some Of his former mills.
Easy to Deceive Himself.

he could then, but that is not saying
by any means that he is the same JET
fries. There is no test on earth for
mans speed and endurance like boxing,
and TO go a route in the ring he must
have more than mere sJrength-he must
have the subtle nervous energy of youth
and the peculiar high-power reserve
force which good pugilist has IN MS
Orime and very, very seldom RECEIVERS
If he leaves the game for years, get the
set which accompanies q complete let
down, and then rc-enters the ring.
Not one puSiilSt in a hundred has the
brains to appreciate this, and when he
does have the thinking ability to grasp
the point. the optimism bred by his own
brute gameness causes him to ignore 1t.
Hence, the bettOr who places too much
reliance on JeffTies' manifestoes about
himself is a foolish virgin whose lamp Is
likely TO be eXungulshed by an uneX-
pected punch from J. Johnson.
Maybe So, Maybe Not, Maybe.
We do not mean to say that 1t is phys
icaIIy impossible for Jeffries to get into
condition for a fight or that he is neces-
sarily doomed TO defeat He may come
back good and strong and full of en-
durance. but we say that nothing but
work in the ring will settle the ques-
tiOn. He has a great many advantages
even now, and the writer thinks that in
his palmy days Jeffries would have had
little trouble in squelching the big
problem is 70 find out whether Jeffries
has changed with them.
Another complication is that Johnson
is nearly as old as Jeffries. and has been
which leaves the fight critic wondering
whether he would be able to stand d
grueling from an opponent as large as
himself who could land blows heavy
enough TO take the steam out OF a bull
elephant. That important fact has to
be borne in mind JohnsOn's only bouts
in which he was given even half run
for his money In recent years have been
with Tommy Burns, who was simply
pushed aside when he attempted 10 land
a telling whack, and with Stanley Ket-
chel who, because OF his smaller size,
could accomplish nothing Of conse-
quence in the way Of Furnishing the
black giant. In respect to his stamina
Johnson is as much Of a mystery as
JemTies. and the man who attempts TO
choose between them is simply gambling
in the dark.
Ware the Hot Air.
Just as a word OF kindly advice, we
suggest TO the gentle reader when he
peruses the thrilling tales OF prowess
and wonderful strides toward physical
and pugilistic perfection which viii
enanate from the training camps, that
some of the best twO-handed press
agents in the world viii be dealing out
the salve for the papers. Also, let US
not forget thar when Bill Squires, King
Of the Lemons. arrived in Frisco and
prepared for his Comicai incident with
Tommy Burns, he was enthusiastically
described by the hot-air dispensers on
the coast as a real prizehghter. Glowing
tales We're issued about his boxing, mis-
rope-sktpping. his scientific methods Of
6emolishing an opponent, the number
of spaTring partners he smashed into
the middle Of next week, etc, etc, etc.
This is only a friendly warning, but It
will be found useful in dissecting some
Of the stun which will be sent forth
when the men actually begin train ng.
