FIGHT ANARCHISTS.
Battle With Police and Six Are
Burned to Death.

One of the most remarkable crimi-
nal outbreaks ever happening in Lon
don took place in broad daylight not
far from the heart of the city. A
band of suspected anarchists directrd
fusillade from building temporar-
lily converted into a fortress against
hundreds of armed policemen rein
forced by troops and guardmen, on
foot and mounted, who had besieged
the criminals, finally setting fire to
the:e fortress and destroying st. Six
of the desperadoes were burned to
death in the ruins of their improvised
citadel.
The affair took on the dimensions
of veritable battle.
Vast crowds gathered in the narrow
streets leading to the scene of activi
ties, while word of the desperate char
acter of the gghting ran throughout
London, causing widespread excite
ment and alarm.
At one time the besieging force de
manded machine guns, but these were
not brought into actual use.
A member of the ministry, Home
Secretary Winston Churchill, visited
the scene when the firhting was at its
height and assisted in the work of
subduing the outbreak.

BOLD AND POLITE.
Holds Up Conductor and Prom
ises TO Return Booty.

A lone robber at midnight held up a
car on the Texas Traction company's
line. Car was bound from Dallas to
Sherman. Robber boarded the car at
Dallas and presented a ticket for
Sherman. Between Anna and Van
Alstyne he covered the conductor with
revolver and compelled him to give
up $3.50. In polite manner, however
the bandit deported himself. He took
the conductors address, saying that
he regretted the necessity which forced
him to take the money and promised
to return it shortly. He jumped off
the car near Van Alstyne.
Three men and one woman were the
passengers, but they we're not modest
ed in any way.

this great gathering have already
been drawn and work Is now under
way which guarantees that the meet
ing is assured. Greenwood Park, the
most beautiful park owned by Negroes
in the United States, viii be the
scene of the Chautauqua.
Invitations have been sent to some
of the leading speakers Throughout
the South and North. and programs
with. special letters announcing the
plans will be mailed next week to
hundreds of people. The exact date
for holding the Chautauqua has not
been announced and will not be until
some time in February. Bids for the
grandstand and other improvements
at Greenwood Park have already been
let; tents will be secured either from
the state or government, and ample
provisions will be made for visitors
from everywhere.
That this meeting will be a sue
cess is foregone conclusion. The
very fact that the street car service
is perfect and that a five-cent fare
will carry one passenger from any
part of Nashville to the park means
that thousands of people will go out
day and night.
The promoters of the Chautauqua
say it is their intention to interest
every church in the city in the reli-
gious feature and the camp meeting
Rev. Preston Taylor IS at work and
has with him, in making these plans

The railroads will be asked to give

orders will add to the occasion. TIT

Will JOHNSON EIGHT?

The chances of the fight for Johnson
seem to be about as vague as ever.
Some time age word came from Paris
that the offer which French boxing
club had male AN riler of $4,000 TO
Gght before it, meeting the winner OF
g Jeanette-Larg ford battla-had been
definitely accepted by Johnson. This
report undoubtedly was due to what
Johnson said in Chicago when inform
ed of the offer. He said he would
accept the offer if his share OF the
purse-that is, the $25,000-was post
ed in the hands of a man he named
in this country before he sailed for
abroad next spring.
Since that time Johnson apparent
" did not worry his head about the
matter. He was willing to wait, and
it is safe to say that if he really in
tends to fight the $4,000 will have to
be up in this country before he makes
any plans to go to Paris. Johnson
is Just about as shrewd a business
man as ever was connected with the
pugilistic game in any capacity.
