FAILS
TO HOLD TRUCE
Liberals Insist on Fight Against
House of Lords and Plan
Campaign.

LONDON, July 9.---Although- no
definite announcement has ben made,
1t Ia known on all sides to-day that
Premier Asquith has failed to force
the liberal party into an agreement
with the conservatives for the In
definite shelving of the reform pro-
gram, for which the liberals have
been working for so long.
The premier's defeat is due TO the
progressive liberals, who realized that
ii a bargain is definitely closed be-
tween the premier and Arthur ].
Balfour. former premier and leader
OF the conservatives. 1t will be at
least a year before the liberals win
be In ahape to renew their progressive
campaign. The liberals were willing
for a brief respite out OF respect to
the memory OF King Edward. but they
have not seen the necessity of con-
tinusd truce. The conservatives had
the support OF the Irish and labor
mbers and the combined opposition
has been 80 strong that Asquith was
frightened into dropping his scheme.
The hght for reforms In the house OF
lords will. therefore, probably be re-
Sumed at the autumn session OF par
lament. and by January 1t Is pre-
dtcted that another general election
will be In order. on the definite issue
of the lords determination or the
stripping them OF all their privileges.

JOHNSON CAUSED
WORRY To LITTLE
Champions Manager Feared Ne
gro Would Throw the
Big Fight.

ISAN FRANCISCO, July 9.--That
George Little did not make a propo-
sition to Jack Johnson to throw the
fight, but that the split between the
chicago manager and the champions
was directly due to Little's fears that
johnson would lie down, is the state
ment made BY Frank MoEvoy. Me-
Eyoy acted as attorney for Little dur
ing the preliminary details of tha fight
and in the absence of Little, who left
for Chicago yesterday morning. his
announcement carries weight
1T Is a huge joke to accuse Lit
tie" says McEvoy. land no one un-
derstands that better than Johnson
Johnson simply wants To show up
Little in the worst possible light. Ev-
erybody knows Little had thousands
bet on johnson, some of 1t at even
money, and there would be no reason
for him to enter into such a deal
Little was suspicious of Johnson
long before the fight took place. There
Were mysterious conference in the
park back of the Cliff House and
there We're other times that johnson
would go into private rooms late at
night TO meet people. Little told me
alt this, and he knew what he was
talking about. because he had john
son followed. | am not going to name
the people who were at the confer
cnces, but l. know who they were.
. ghnson merely smiled and5then came
the break. Little went to Reno to
look over the situation stil' fearful
lest johnson might have arranged a
deal with the Jeffries crowd whereby
Jeffries would win. Little commenced
to lay off as much of his money as
possible and even bet something like
si,Tee ON Jefrries at the ringside.
The only way | can figure it OUT
said one of the sports, lis that the
money was not passed over to John
SON.. and then he decided to go in
and win on his merits. l think that is
why he insisted at the last moment
upon an even division of the purse
and finally accepted 60 and 40 per
cent. cut.
Il don't believe Jeffries knew any
thing about 1t. think his friends
did, however. and they buoyed him up
to the very last moment. Then when
they found the deal was not going
through, they broke the news to him.
and their lack of confidence unnerved
him. / do know that men who had
never bet cent before In their lives
were placing their money on Jeffries
One fellow in particular wanted to bet
all kinds OF money that the fight
would go over eight rounds, and ! fol-
lowed him around enough 10 know he
placed some big wagers."
