JOHNSON SENDS MONEY
To GALVESTON FRIENDS
One Taught Him to Box and Gets
$3.50; Another Saved Life,
Receives $500

GALVESTON, Tex, July eight
men here were made happy by Jack
Johnsons winning the championship
without having to wager any money on
the fight. They were former associates
of the Galveston negro, who at different
times in his career in this city befriend-
ed him.
These remembrances from the cham
pion were in the form of remittances
ranging from $3.50 to $3.50. The biggest
remittance was for $3.50 for Ed Harri-
son, an ld-timer here who taught
Johnson how to fight when a boy, and
gave him his first lessons in the ring
along the docks.
Jack appeared anxious to become
fighter, and years ago promised his
volunteer Instructor that when he got
TO be champion and wealthy he would
fit MIN out in fancy clothes AMI a rel
hecktie. Sure enough, ne kept his
III mise, and one of the first messages
he sent after the fight was to Harrison,
telling him to order two suits of clothes
ard not to he etingy on the price
While swimming in the bay from the
docks years ago when Johnson was a
small boy he was sucked under YES
sci and would have drowned had it not
been for CaheIty Williams, an assoti-
ate, WHO saved him. Williams is le-
n,.mbered for $500.

THINKS BIG BOY NOT IN SHAPE
Associated Prcssl

CHICAGO, July Slack Johnson,
the pugilst, responded this afternoon
to a report that his defeated rival was
seeking a new bout Johnson says:
Il will give Jeffries another chance
to win the championship if he wants
to. l will meet him at Reno on Labor
day If that suits him. l don't believe
Jeffries was in as good condition on
that, and for that reason l am willing
pion. Il don't want any dispute about
my superiority. If they want to fix
fight for Labor day at Reno l am will
ing for my part, and there won't be
any quarrel about the division of the
purse, either"
Johnson, in the course of his inter-
view, took occasion to reiterate his
charge that a former manager of his
attempted to fix" the fight for JEFF
fries to win.
He offered me 100000 providing 1
would bet half of it that jeffries would
win in the eighth round. He knew he
could not get that sum back by bet
ting on the outcome and so wanted 1t
fixed for a certain round. And there
were a lot of people led to believe that
l had been fixed One Chicago the

 "When We think of Harvard or Yale, the former dating from 1888 and the latter from l701, we think of them as old universities" says writer in the American Educa tional Review; "but when we pass to the other side of the world We discover that even the oldest American universities are in reality very young .nstitutions.
 ''The oldest educational institution iu the world is the University of El Ashar. Cairo. founded III the year 00e by the Eraa: Sai.,,.:.. 1t Is the central seat of learnins for tho whole Mo- hammedan world. as well as foun- tain of spiritual life It occupies an ancient mosque in the Arab quarter of Cairo. surrounded by a confusing maze of narrow streets where the population Is made up of representatives of every race that follows the prophet
 "The old mosque covers several acres rounded by long cloisters with low roofs supported by forests of columns. The floors of red tiles are covered daily by multitude of men and boys, squat ting fin semicircles around their teach CTS, who sit with their backs to tho columns featuring in monotones.
 '"The chancellor of the university i always descendant of the prophst and Is usually man of ability and learning. He occupies apartments in E Ashar and Is not only the supreme educational but the ecclesiastical head of the church of Egypt
 "There is no organization similar to that in modern universities. Any rep utable man who desires to teach eau obtain the privilege by application and Is assigned a column where he may sit and impart the truth as he thinks proper His fame or ability will ut. tract more or less students and dis ciples, who pay him fees according te their means"
