DON'T BACK JOHNSON
WIRES HIS MANAGER
George Little Gives New
York Friend Strange
Tip on Fight.

New York, Jan. 6.-A letter now in
the mail coming from Pfttsburg may
have an important bearing on the JEFF
frfes-Johnson battle. 1t is addressed to
Baron Wilkes. a close friend of John
son, and is signed by George Little,
who has been posing as the manager
Of the negro. What this missive con-
tains can only be guessed at, but the
following wire from Little to Wilkes,
received today, gives an opportunity for
all sorts of speculation.
DO not make any bets on Johnson
until you receive my letter"
wilkins had telegraphed asking the
advisabilfty of placing $1,000 on John
sons chances against the same amount
produced by Bob Murphy. Wilkins has
collected $4,000 to bet on the champion
and merely wanted advice as to wheth-
er even money was a good quotation.
1t may be that Little and Johnson
have split They have been together
longer than Jack usually sticks tc a
manager. Whatever the cause of this
strange message the arrival Of the ex-
planatory letter will be awaited with
considerable interest.

Over 800 Agents Attend the

New York, Jan. s.-The tenth annual
automobile show in Grand Central Pal
ace will come to a close Friday night
after one of the most successful bust
mesh weeks in motor car history Not
only have users of cars in and around
New York attended the big exhibition
extensively, but over 500 dealers in au-
tomobiles and carriages from all over
the country have accepted the Ameri-
can Motor Car Manufacturers asocia-
ton invitation to get in touch with the
new ideas for the coming season. This
is an Unprecedented list
If not single retail sale was made
during the week-and this has been one
of the selling shows-the visitors would
feel repaid by being able to place their
wares in front of such an array of
agents. No trade exposition in any
other line of products ever gathered so
many out of town buyers.
Every large city in the United States
is represented among these dealers and
a great range of smaller cities as we'll.

Absolutely NoiSeproof Room.

Utrecht is a quiet enough Dutch
country town, where the plant of the
a%nti-noise leagues is never heard. This
situation, %curiously enough, does not
prevent Utrecht from possessing the
only absolutely nolseproof room in
the world.
Heretofore it was Professor Will
helm Wundt of the Psychological
Laboratory of Leipzig who had come
nearest to the scientific elimination
OF ell sound from an enclosed space:
but Professor Zwaardemaker Of
Utrecht University has gone one step
further. and he has communicated
details Of his achievement to the
Amsterdam Royal Academy Of
Science.
For an absolutely %noiseproof room
it is essential not only that no sound
shall penetrate u from without, but
also that IL shall resist sound propa-
cation, reflection and r%efraction
within. The first problem is com
pa%rativcly easy.
The walls OF Professor Zwaarde-
makers room consist of six layers. al
ternately of wood, cork and Eand.
There are spaces between the second
and third LAYER and between the
fourth and the fifth from which the
air has been extracted. The inner
walls are of porous stone covered
with q kind OF horsehair cloth known
as trichopiese. "a Belgian invention
which is sound resisting and il widely
used in Belgium in telephone booths.
The walls are pierced by acoustically
isolated leaden rods.
