ALWAYS WAS
A KN0CKER
JACK JOHNSON TAKES FEW DIGS
AT JOHN L. SULLIVAN.
HE'S coNcEITED AND SELFISH"
Black Fighter Claims Sullivan Would
Have Been Easy Meat for Tom Shar-
key-Compares the Sailor With
Jim Jeffries.

Jim Jeffries.
Detroit Feb. l2.-"He always was a
knocker. Sullivan never boosted peo
pie. He's the most Conceited fellow
that ever lived. Conceited ana selfish
that's him." said Jack Johnson last
night discussing the criticisms that
the former champion of America Is
passing out regarding the coming bat
tie for the heavy weight championship
of the world
The old boy is living up to his
reputation, that's all. He's jealous OF
everybody but himself, but it never
gets him anything. Who is Sullivan
What did he ever do for the ring
Tom Sharkey, in his prime, had he
been matched with Sullivan wher
John L. was in his prime, would have
beaten him so quickly he'd likely have
| died from surprise. Sullivan never
saw the day when he was Sharkey's
equal as a fighter.
Then, what has he done for the
game that gave him reputation and
fed and clothed him? He done moth
ing, absolutely nothing. Corbett has
probably done more for fighting thar
any other man, give the devil his just
| dues, and Jeffries has done more fol
fighting than Sullivan ever started tc
do. Jeff has helped fighting a lot
Would | sooner meet Sharkey at
his best than Jeffries? Oh, | don't
know guess it would be a dozen OF
one and twelve of the other. | don't
see where either man has anything or
| the other"
Conversation later turned to the
present sQuabble between Gleason and
Richard. Johnson says that down in
his heart he has no preference what
ever regarding the location of the
fight. For publication he is hanging
out for Salt Lake City.
The big negro gives an argument
that gives convincing evidence that
Jeffries will not try to stall along and
draw out the fight in order to make
the moving picture end of the bout
profitable venture.
Jeff can't afford to do that" says
Johnson. "The longer he stalls the
less chance he has. Jeff's best oppor
tunity to win will be to put over his
best blows at the start"

Likes Oklahoma.

Durant Okla, Feb. Editor News:
| have written a letter to my many
friends in Tilden and vicinity, to be
published in that paper, but it seems
that all they will print, in regard to
Oklahoma, is a roast. If ii were Utah,
about seventy-fye miles from a rail
road, they would boom Fruitland Val
ley Oregon, or Washington. / think
as much of old Nebraska as any other
state, having lived there since 1875,
and do not believe there is any better
state in the union.
| think this one of the finest and
most healthful climates ! ever was in.
There are no agents, no excursion
trains booming Oklahoma; no real es-
tate men unless you come here to To-
cate. There are lots of opportunities
here for the poor man to invest little
capital in a farm; in fact, my opinion
at the present time is that this coun-
try is the same as it was in Nebraska
twenty years ago.
In regard to freak" legislation,
droughts and hot winds, Nebraska has
her record as well as Oklahoma.
The parties on my farm have as fine
corn as is raised in Nebraska. The
trouble with the south is, it has a
poor class of farmers.
Hoping you will see fit to publish
this in The Norfolk News, which |
know will reach them all, am,
Yours respectfully,

Alva b. Johnson, vice president

in New York city announced that
the company had received an order
from the Hartman lines for s. pas.
senger locomotives of the largest and
heaviest kind. The order means an
expenditure of about 81, l,l25,0OO by the
Hartman system. 1t is the largest
locomotive order placed in some time.
In reply to a question as to the re-
ported cancellation of equipment or.
ders by certain roads, Mr.. Johnson
said that no orders had been can.
celled and that there was no expecta-
tion that any would be. On the con-
trary, he said purchasing on a graft
tying scale was anticipated by the
management.
Business conditions and crop pros
poets are good he continued. "The
volume OF traffic is large, generally
speaking, and the only unfavorable
factor is the uncertainty of the rail-
roads as to freight increases"

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
Administration Measure Is Passed by
House After Four Roll Calls.

The administration postal savings
bank bill was passed by the house
OF representatives. On its final
passage II was supported by all Re
publcans and 22 Democrats II took
four roll calls to put the measure
through the house. The 20 Demo
Gratis deserted their party brethren
and voted for the bill justified their
stand on the ground that the principle
of the bill was endorsed by the Dem.
ocratic national platform of 1906.
The postal savings bank bill now
goes to the senate and in day or
two 1t win be referred to a committee
on conference representing the two
bills The bill has the approval OF
the administration and in the main
it is satisfactory to the senate leaders.
The indications are that an early
agreement will be reached in confer.
ence and that there will be few
changes in the bill passed by the
house.

fords. In doing this they have car" ried out ideas that they have had in mind for many years, but which they could not quite see the way of accom- plishing until fate brought them in contact with that wizard of stage producers, MT. Edward Temple, late of the New York Hippodrome. To the play mind the idea of introducing real gypsies, on real horses in a thrilling dash up the mountain, realistic barbecue, gorgeous pallets and other new and startling features in an old standard English opera with out interfering with the action of the opera or the proper rendition of the delightful music of the score might well seem impossible, but MT. Temple has accomplished it most satisfac- tori1y.
