CHAMPION JOHNSON
TO FAKE FIGHT
Report Comes From England
That Lii. .Arthu' Is Plan
ming to Lose

London, Aug. 2.-That Jack john
son, heavyweight champion of the
world. is planning to "lay down" in
his coming match in England with
"Bombardier" Wells and permit the
Englishman to win the heavyweight
title is openly charged here in sport
ing circles.
1t is declared that the preliminary
negotiations for the match are sus-
picious and that Johnson, sore on
American sports, and realizing that
he is getting older, wants to clean
up big money in one lump, and is
willing to drop the title to "get the
dough-"
That Johnson, If he does lay down,
will get big cut of $1,000,000 for
doing so is generally reported.
Promoters of the contest expect to
hold it in the stadium, where fully
100000 persons could see the fray.
This at an average of Ell a head
would result in gathering $1,000, 900,
and the cleanup on the side, If the
reported deal is consummated would
be enormous.
The Promoters.
A big syndicate of which James
White of Manchester, is the alleged
head, is to pull off the battle. The
identity of the members of the syndi-
cate is carefully guarded, but it is
authoritaively learned that its real
hackers are Terra Hooley, the famous
promoter, who is now in bankrutcy,
and H. Bottomley, editor of John
Bulls Weekly, which is also In finan-
cial distress as the result of liberal
verdicts against him for illegal pro-
motions which aggregate $575,OOO.
Both the promoters, it is said, hope to
recamp their fortunes through the
Johnson-Wels match.
1t Is supposed they have offered
Johnson not only the entire purse to
LAY down." but also a large per-
centage of the moving pictures, the
value OF which probably will be fabu-
lous, If Wells wins.
Have Private Contracts.
Copies of contracts between the
boxers giving Johnson 100000 and
Wells $4,000 for the bout have been
published, but this is reported to have
been done only as q blind. Both
principals are said to be tied up with
private contracts.
Since arriving here both johnson
and his wife have lost no opportunity
to attack America and Americans and
Jack openly declares that when he is
beaten he wants to see an English
man become the title holder.
Johnson wants to live. here after
his return from an American tour
which he Is planning next spring.
Soft and Fat.
Wells share in the reported agree.
ment is problematical. 1t is poi1ited
out that he has good chance to win
IN any event, as Johnsons stage sea-
son runs almost to the moment he en-
ters the ring and he will have practi-
caily no time in which to train.
johnson today is fifty pounds over
weight and soft as butter.
The general gossip is that if Wells
wins he does not intend to risk the
,.iie ute against American boxers. but

HEAD WITH BEER BOTTLE.
Saws Fellow Voter Got Peevish
on Election Day.

An aftermath of a Newark election
day fight was heard In the Orange Dis
trict Court today when, with Judge
BENJAMIN Jones sitting, John ]. Crosby,
as plaintiff in a suit for $500, sought by
the aid of witnesses to prove to the
court that he had been assaulted on
the day of election.
Crosby averred that he was in a
house on stone street, near Sixth ave-
nue., on election day, when, without
any warning, an incipient riot broke
out. He was struck on the Uranium, he
said, and the weapon used was moth
ing softer than a beer bottle. He
swore tina Nicolo Maria dealt the blow.
Maria was named as defendant in the
suit.
Other witnesses swore that Maria
used the bottle with telling effect.
Maria denied the charge. On the day
of the alleged assault all interested
were working in behalf of DR.. Angelo
Bianchi, Democratic candidate for
councilman In the fifth district of the
Fifteenth ward.
They had gathered at the Stone street
house and were discussing the situa-
ton when a fight started. The case
was before Judge Jones on Wednesday.

today. After listening to the testimony
the judge declared that he would an

LURE
LEADS TREASURER
TO END HIS LIFE
Edward St. John, Once Plain
fielder, browns Himself
at COney Island.
LspeelaI TO the Newark star.l

PLAINFIELD, Feb. 3.-He followed
q mirage to death. This is the sum
ming up of the life of Edward st. John,
made today by his old friends here, in
discussing his suicide at Coney Island
yesterday.
Mr.. st. John. who was assistant
treasurer of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio Company, drowned himself when
the discovery of the shortage in his
accounts seemed imminent.
Twice the tieker's song lured Mr..
st. John. Once was in 1897, while he
was a resident of this city and a prom
fnent figure in religious and social cir
cles. He held a responsible position
with h Northern Pacific railroad, but
when knowledge Of his speculations in
Wall street came to the ears of Coils
+. Huntington his resignation was de-
manded.
Within a comparatively short time
he was engaged by the Westinghouse
Company. IT Is not known as yet
when he made his second venture In
Wall street, but his accounts show, it
is said, a shortage Of $50, 900.
Mr.. st. John was so years old. His
home was at 593 East Nineteenth
street, Flatbush. He leaves a wife and
three children, two of whom are mar
ried.
Considered a. Good, Able Man.
For the past ten years st. John had
been assistant treasurer of the West
inghouse Company, whose New York Of
fees are at 1876 Broadway. When officials
of he company took him in they paid
no heed to his former errors, for, in
In - - -
man, who tried to do his best at all
times
When the office force had gone for
the day st. John wrote something on a
slip of paper, locked II in the safe and
went away. When the safe was opened
yesterday morning this note was
found:
Il have appropriated to my own use
some of the company's securities and
several hundred dollars in cash. l am
not in a position to make reparation."
A few minutes later word came from
Coney Island that a mans body had
been found there at the foot of West
Fifth street. There We're letters In the
mans pockets bearing Mr.. st. Johns
name.
When a reporter called at the COM
pdhy > olllCeS lie saw an Olffcer. who
said:
There is no need to make a secret
of this.
Mr.. st. John has embezzled some of
the Westinghouse Company's funds.
We do not know just wha the
amount is, but it is probable that $780,
900 will about cover It. Speculation
caused MI. st. John to AXE the money.
and, so far as We can see from a hasty
examination of the books, he commit
ted the thefts within a very short
time.
Friends Would Have saved Him.
THE news has shocked us greatly,
for we all thought highly of the man.
He shouldn't have taken his life even
after what he did. We were all his
friends, and if he had come to us we
would have made up the loss, for we
wanted to keep him with us
st. John McCutcheon, uncle of Mrs.
St. John and a lawyer at rs William
street, went to Coney Island late yes
terday afternoon and identified the
body.
