RENO BUSY DISCORCING FANS
Groups Of Fight Experts Still Linser,
However, and johnson is Given
Credit for His Victory. jeff
Is Glum.

Reno, New, July 5.-Reno is as
busy disgorging fight crowds today as
IL was Saturday and Sunday welcom-
ing them. The getaway began three
quarters of an hour after Jeffries went
through the ropes yesterday after
noon. Today Reno began to look nor
NAL as far as population Is concerned.
Here and there groups of fight ex-
perts still linger on the principal
streets and in cafes and hotel lobbies.
The big battle is discussed in cold
calm manner. The big mans decisive
unqualified and thorough whipping
seems personal sorrow to these
men of the sporting world.
There is no animosity against John
ability as a fighter, but apparently
most of these men persuaded them
selves into the belief Jeffries was the
Jeffries of six years ago.
With Johnson the undisputed
worlds champion the next question is
who will wrest it from him. Ring
followers agree no man now in the
game measures up TO the job.
No one knows just how many peo-
pie saw the fight or what the receipts
were. The lowest estimate of the gate
money is s2SO.O0O, and the highest.
s27O,000. Guesses among the promot-
ers place the attendance at $4,000 to
10000. the largest crowd that ever saw
I prize fight.
AT Moana Springs an air of gloom
hung over the defeated mans quar-
ters. True to his character the van
quished man remained hidden from the
gaze of chance visitors. Jeffries re-
iterated his purpose of departing for
his home in California as soon as ar
rangements are perfected but beyond
that gave no idea OF his plans.
At the resort where johnson trained
not a vestige OF his own camp re-
mained today. Johnson withdrew to
his private car last night.

EASIER TO OPEN GARAGE
NEARBY BUSINESS PROPERTY's
CONSENT ASSUMED.
Neighbors Enough to Make Up rs
Per Cent ALI Together Must
Still Show Willingness.

Automobiles generally, and garage
proprietors particularly, will be interested
in an amendment to the building regula-
lions which has just been ordered by the
Commissioners.
The new law relates especially to build
ings which. 1t is contemplated, will be
occupied as public or semi-public garages
Under its provisions 1t probably will be
a much simpler matter for prospective
garage owners or managers to secure the
necessary building permits for their es-
adjustments.
Under the old regulations 1t was neces-
sary for tie person or persons who con-
templated opening a garage to secure tie
written consent of the owners Of at least
10, per cent of the remaining property
in the same block before they could use
the building. purchased or leased, for the
desired purpose. The question of a
change In the system of consents" was
raised i'm connection with the proposed
. establishment of a branch of the Terminal
Iaxicab Company in the old Heurich
s Brewery building. Goth street northwest
between NJ and N streets
Several owners of adjacent property
objected to such use of the old brewery.
Attorneys for the taxicab company pre-
scented evidence to the Commissioners
which showed that New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston and other large cities In
the east permitted the opening OF gar
ages simply on permits from their re-
spective building departments.
After weighing the problem the Com
missioners decided not TO waive entirely
the proviso which requires IS per cent
of consents, but to so amend the law
that business property In the same block
with a proposed garage should be re-
garded ''consenting property without
