ing bags to be in fit fettle to meet JEFF
fries. He can reach the prime condi-
ton notch in three weeks.
If he started sooner he might find
himself stale. He knows what's good
for him and doesn't have to monkey
around to find out how long he should
train or what kind of work suits him.
Johnson has his mind set on being at
concert pitch by July 1 and then be
able to hold himself In trim from then
until he faces Jeffries in the ring.
When Johnson arrived at the train
ing camp he tipped the scales at 226
pounds. After a few twelve mile runs
on the road he weighed 30. In talk
ing about his weight recently john
son said:
"It never worries me how much or
how little I weigh. My training is all
based on how l feel and perform. If
1 could hit as hard, be as fast and feel
as well 1 would not care whether 1
weighed a ton or $50 pounds. But
common sense tells me that 1913 or
200 pounds is enough for me to weigh
and be at my best. 1 do not expect to
weigh an ounce more than 1913 when 1
meet Mr.. Jeffries. 1t is not necessary
for me to tip over buildings or wrestle
with bears All need is some out
door work, a little boxing to retain
speed, and will be there without an
excuse prepared"
Manager Little has taken every pre-
caution to safeguard Johnson against
any tampering with his food. The ne
gro has a special cook and waiter, and
every care is being taken to see that

Care and Selection of Tires Saves Cost

If the tires are treated with the
same judiciouS. care as the other parts
OF an automobile the expense will be
found to be in the same proportion, If
not less. It is not uncommon for the
manufacturers of the different cars to
receive letters from owners of autos
telling Of tires which have given not
only the expected mileage, but even
10000, 1900 and as high as 10000
miles for a single tire. The following
essential points will help the owner to
a great extent:
First.-In buying a car to select the
proper type of tire for that particular
car. as high speed cars. small run
abouts, electric carriages and delivery
wagons materially vary in their tire
requirements. just as they do in me-
chanicaI construction.
Second.-Having selected the proper
type of tire, be assured that it is the
proper size. 1t Is no exaggeration to
say that most Of the tire troubles en-
countered today are caused by using
tires too small for the load they are
expected to carry 1t costs but little
more in the beginning to buy large
enough tire, and in the end the cost
is considerably less than buying too
small tire and having much trouble.
Third.-Having obtained the proper
style and size of tire, treat it well.
You would not think of abusing your
horse If you did his life would be
short. The same principle applies to
your tires. Treat them well and they
will live longer.

If you have oil lamps for your ma

matter what you do TO prevent IL, don't
neglect to see if you have stihed the

County Official Is Appealed to
by Opponents.

San Francisco, Cal, May 21.-The
attitude of the law officers of this
city toward the -Jeffries Johnson fight
was definitely settled yesterday after
noon by District Attorney Fickert,
who declared there was no legal
grounds for interference.
''If the contestants comply with
the provisions of the code and the
ordinance" he said, eft is not within
my power, the power OF the police
department, or of the sheriff to pro-
hibit the fight. have read the ar
ticles of agreement between Jeffries
and Johnson and they are in all re-
spects within the statutes.
"It is impossible for me to prede-
| termine whether there will be vto-
lation of the statutes or not. If dur
! ing the fight the principals or their
representatives violate the law they
will be punished. AS has been stated
by the courts both in this country
and in England, it is a question for
jury to determine whether such
contest is a sparring match or prize
fight.
Remedy I'm Legislation.
eff a majority of the people of
the state of California are against
professional sparring exhibitions, the
remedy lies with the legislature"
While in consultation with Chief
of Police Martin on the policing of
the big fight, Tex Richard was in
far . nF
attorney. He expressed himself as
delighted and said the promoters
would begin detailed preparations for
the contest Immediately.
The decision of the district attor-
ney was given in reply to a request
of the church federation that he take
steps to prevent the fight.
Champion Jack Johnson varied the
monotony of training yesterday by
appearing in one of the superior
courts to answer to a suit brought
by Sam Fitzpatrick. his former mana
ger, for balance of $1S7.50, said
to be due him for services. Johnson
received a knockout blow at the
hands of the court, which awarded
Fitzpatrick a judgment for Sis and
costs.
JeR Rough with Trainers.
Rowardennan, Cal, May 21.-Jim
Jeffries staged two good sketches for
the benefit of his camp followers
yesterday. In the morning he did
some exhibition juggling with his
sparring partners, tossing them about
much as the hero in a tank drama
handles the villain.
Bog Armstrong was the first to go
on with JEFF and in the first two
rounds escaped without damage, as
the morning air was chilly and JEFF
fries was slow to warm up. In the
third round. however, Bob carelessly
stepped in front of several heavy
ones. One left hook caught him on
the forehead and he would have gone
to the floor had he not hit the wall
first.
When Choynski's turn came JEFF
fries was becoming interested in his
work, and poor old Joe was tossed
about recklessly for three rounds |
He emerged from the scuffle with a
bruised ear and blackened eye. |
Brother Jack Jeffries made his box
ing debut in the final two rounds. |
Jeffries did not think his brother was |
in good condition and handled him |

TEXT IS FROM ST. JOHN
BY FLORENCE wEATHERLY

Jacksonville, May 80.-(SpeciaL)-
The commencement exercises of the
State Normal sch DOL began yesterday
morning with the sermon by Bishop
Beckwith of Admission. 1t is the Gus
tom to rotate the services with the
different denominations, this being the
Baptists' time. DR.. Preston Blake, pas
tor of the Southside Baptist church of
Birmingham, was to have delivered tn e
commencement sermon but owing to
the critical illness of his wife he had
to cancel his engagement. AS the SER
vices next year belong to the Episco-
palians the Baptists exchanged with
them for this occasian and next year
they win have charge of the services.
A fine musical programme, arranged
and directed by Mrs. A. L. BlaclSm
OF the music department, was rendered.
The choir was composed of the best
voices in the Normal school and the
town. AS the Baptist church Is con-
capacity Of any in town, the services
were held there. A large congrega-
ton was present and listened atten-
lively from the beginning to the close
of DIR. Beckwith's sermon. The church
was beautifully decorated with palms.
ferns and flowers.
Before beginning his sermon Bishop
Beckwith expressed his sympathy with
the people because of the absence of
DR.. Blake, and further stated that he
had risen from sick bed himself in
order to discharge a duty to one who
was providentially hfndered.
For his scripture reading Bishop
Beckwith used the eighteenth chapter
of st. John, taking his text from the
thirty-eighth verse: 'Pilate said unto
him What is TRUTH" He spoke at
length of the incidents transporting in
this chapter. the betrayal of Jesus and

and he pictured the mob waiting for
a leader, a mob composed of ignorant
people who were looking to PLATE as
their intermediator, their messenger
and upon whom the responsibility rest
ed as to what should be done with this
man Jesus.
In speaking of the betrayal of Jesus
he said he was betrayed by one of his
own, by friend. not by an enemy.
He said the attitude of the people in
the mob toward Jesus was due to ig
norance and to their teaching. He here
correct teaching and the dangers of
ignorance. He also called the attention
of his congregation to Pilates position
in the matter, how he weighed in
his mind the disadvantage 1t would
work to him personally should be re-
lease Jesus, and how he needed the cry
of the Jews, IF thou let this man go,
thou art not Caesars friend"
Bishop Beckwith said that human ma
as then and he asked the question re-
peatedly in his discourse: Are all the
Pilates dead? Do we not place too high
an estimate upon personal gain?"
Three Factors of Truth
More directly taking up his theme,
What Is Truth" Bishop Beckwith said
that in regard to truth there are three
factors and that the absence of any
one of them constitutes a falsehood.
The first in Importance in regard to
truth is that it must be true, not what
we think is truth, but In order to be
q truth 1t must be absolutely the truth;
the second in Importance Is that it must
be the whole truth. He here pointed
out the great danger that turks in par
tial truths. He said that they have
caused more disturbance, loss of friend
ships and heartaches than lies them
selves have done, for" he said, "a
lie can not live" It is the lie swimming
on the truth that hurts. He laid great
stress on the evils of gossiping. The
third fact brought out in regard to
truth is that 1t must be true in all
its relations to other truths. He
showed very forcibly that truth Is
not truth II in its relation to other
truths there Is a disturbance.
Bishop Beckwith used very effective
in bringing out these three
points in regard to truth. To illustrate
the relationship of one truth to an
other. rather one truth to all other
truths, he said that the hands on the
face of a watch meant nothing to
1t save in their relationship to the
other parts of the watch: that one
wheel alone was Insignificant except
in its relationship to the other por-
tons and that 1t took all parts to make
one complete whole.
He spoke Of relationships that ex-
list in the family and of those that
exist In every phase and feature of
life. Thus, he said, it is with the ques-
ton of truth.
In conclusion he addressed the grad
uating class more particularly. He
spoke of the great and important work
OF teaching, and placed the calling of
