'ABS0LUTELYOONE
WITH LITTLE"

BY MAX BALTHASER.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 6.-Jack
Johnson made 1t plain this morning
that he is through with George Lit
tie forever and that the man who
has been handling his managerial
reins for the past year will have
nothing to do with his affairs in any
manner in the future.
Make it as strong as you like"
said Johnson, after coming in off
the road. Il am absolutely done
with Little. The contract he holds
is not worth the paper it is written
on and the threats he is making
about stopping the fight are rank
nonsense. He cannot stop the fight
nor can he collect any part Of my
earnings. He himself has rendered
that contract, even If 1t was binding
when drawn up, null and void The
trouble with Little has been that he
did not like Sig Hart, who is my
special guest out here. and as such
I did not intend to permit anyone
to miStreat him."

the body of a man answering the

stuffed with hay and his body was

seem to tell Of blows struck foul,

The skull of the corpse is whole
and bears no evidence of blud'

appear upon the body. There is q
hole in the left side, just below the

Total absence OF clothing on the
