NEW YORK, July 11.-John Ar.
thur johnson, negro heavyweight
champion of the world, was given a
reception by $4,000 Of his own race
upon his arrival here at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. Johnson's trtaIn
was five hours late and the delay
permitted thousands of negroes
from adjacent towns to join New
Works coIored population.
100 AUTOS AT DEPOT.
Before the train pulled in and
the colored champion showed forth
resplendant, the mob about the sta
tion caused the police authorities
to rush mounted reserves to re-
inforce the 100 officers on duty.
The crowds about the station en-
trance were driven back by blue
coats, who established police lines.
The 100 automobiles held in readi
ness to join in Johnson's triumphal
tour through the streets were cen.
ters of disturbance, and the police
decided that they should be moved
outside the lines.
The chauffeurs were told to
move on" The order was obeyed
literally, and soon the machines
began circling through the streets
adjacent to the station. This con-
tinued for more than an hour
Finally the police forbade the auto
mobile parade, and ordered the
drivers away.
When johnson emerged through
the depot entrance the crowd gave
him a noisy welcome. He was bun
died into Baron wilkins automo
bile. while broad-shouldered patrol
men kept the champions enthusi
astic admirers from mobbing him
in their eagerness to shake hands
Johnson was carried along Forty
second street to Ninth avenue and
thence to wilkins saloon. There
he was the guest at an elaborate
luncheon, and later was motored tc
Hammerstein's for his first theatri
cal appearance in this city.

Why Is 1t that the average man
will get soaking wet any number Of
Of times, but still obstinateIy refuse
to buy an umbrella? That's a ques-
ton which women sometimes ask.
He Is extravagant In everything
else. He wines and he dimes and
he smokes the best cigars, and he
buys his best girl five-pound boxes
Of candy, but when you want him to
buy an umbrella its like forcing a
kid to take cod liver oil.
The answer is simple. Mr.. Av.
erage Man has az much trouble
taking care Of "bumbleshoot" as
he would have in tenderIy caring
70 "a white elephant. So he would
get wet every day In the week,
rather than 90 to the trouble and
expense of buying and losing rain
protectors all the time.
