JOHNSON IN JAIL
BUT FIVE HOURS
Mystery In Release of Color
ed Champion BY San
Francisco Judge.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. March 26.-
John Arthur Johnson, negro. cham
pion heavyweight pugilist, who has
scoffed at speed laws for years and
been arrested in nearly every large
city in the country, was released last
night after spending five and a half
hours of a twenty-five-day sentence
in the county Jail
The order for his release is not
quite understood. 1t was issued by
Superior Judge Mogan, after every
one. of the other superior judges had
refused to consider the application,
on the ground that johnson mad
pleaded guilty, and there could be
no appeal.
The order signed by Judge Mogan
provided that the champion should be
released on the posting Of $500 bail.
AS soon as the order was issued the
money was forthcoming and John
son walked out of Jail, temporarily a
free man. What the developments
will be is hard to say. There is still
another charge against. him for ex-
ceeding the speed limit, and indica-
tions are that the coIored champion
will have a very interesting time of
it before he is through with the
California courts.
When searched before being taken
to Jail johnson was found to have
about $1,000 worth of diamonds on
him, besides other valuables. At his
request these were turned over to
Eddie Graney.

MACKEY ANNOUNCES
BOUT WITH PROKOS
Wrestlers Are to Meet At the
Lyceum Thursday
Evening.

Robert r. Mackey, Washingtons
veteran wrestler. announce today that
he has completed arrangements for a
bout with Jim Prokos, the Greek cham
pion, at the Lyceum Theater Thursday
evening.
This pair was supposed to meet sew
eral weeks ago, but Prokos injured his
arm and was forced to cancel He
reached Washington the other day and
Immediately got into communication
with Mackey.
There was considerable discussion OF
detail before the two could agree, but
it was finally settled that Prokos was
to throw Mackey three times in an hour
or lose the purse. Considering Mackey;s
admitted ability as a defensive wrestler,
he will probably be heavily backed, and
this despite the fact that Prokos will
have an advantage of more than ten
pounds and is generally considered one
of the best men of his weight in the
world.
Mackey expects to weigh in at about
$50. while Prokos, in his recent bouts in
the West, has been tipping the beam
around $50. ProkOs is decidedly popular
with the Greeks. and IL is expected that
his fellow countrymen will be present
in large numbers in the hope of seeing
their favorite win from the man who
has been so consistently successful thus
far this season.
In the articles Pat O'Connor was
agreed upon as referee.

The Tire Book
Tells How to Double Your Tire Mileage
How to Save Half On Your Tires
How many motorists will write postal to learn
about modern economical tires?

About six years ago - after six
years of tire making-ws perfected
the Goodyear No-Rim- Cut tire. Over
100000 have been already sold.
Last year our tire sales trebled-
jumped to So, o0,000Ibecause Of this
patented tire. Yet. during most of
the year, No-Rim- Cut tires cost one
fifth more than other standard tires.
Now they cost an equal price.
This year. "a leading motor car
makers have contracted for Good
year No-Rim-Cut tires on their latest
models.
Today. Goodyear No-Rim- Cut tires
outsell our clincher tires almost six
to one.
All of which shows that men who
know are buying these modern tires.
The day of the elincher is ending.

New Football Idea
Exploded By Expert

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, March 26.-The
new football idea. which may result in
meeting between PENNSYLVANIA. Har-
ward. Princeton, and Yale, was ex-
ploded today by DR.. Carl Williams.
Pennsvlvanias representative on the
football rules committee. Dr. Will
Jams said in brief:
THE only way that we can hope to
pIav football with either Princeton or
Harvard is by adopting a rule to ex-
Clude professional school men from ath-
Ietic teams. IL a mutual agreement en-
bodying such rules were to be adopted
with Harvard we would in all proba-
hility be playing them football game
within a very few years.
Or. Williams went on further TO say
that there was movement to restrict
this rule so as to apply only TO the foot
halI team, but it was found to be diff
ffcult to do this.

NEW REGULATION
FOR AUTOMOBILES
Identification Tag Rule for
Cars Entering District

By HARRY WARD.

The police regulations requiring iden-
tificatiOn tags for each automobile
brought into the District, which has
worked great hardship upon automobile
dealers who have changed their firm
names since the first issue of the tags,
Will shortly be amended.
The new amendment will prescribe
that a dealer may purchase as many
identification tags as may be necessary
to his business, and these tags may be
applied to any machines he may have
for sale, or which he may use in his
business for demonstrating purposes.
This end has long been sought by the
dealers. w. S. Duvall, president and
attorney of the Automobile Club of

amendment which will secure the object

Response to Taft's Suggestion.

When President Taft, last December,
enunciat ted the doctrine of comprehensive
arbitration, he received a quick response
from Ambassadors Rryce and Jusscrand
that Great Britain and France were
willing to begin negotiations with this
country for the peaceful settlement of
practically all differences that may arise.
The President instructed Secretary knox
Immediately to crystalline the arbitral
proposition which this government would
offer to foreign nations.
The Secretary has evolved document
which has necei-ad the approval OF tic
President and the other members of his
ca binet, providing that all differences
which are internationally justiciable
shall be submitted to arbitration. 1t eX-
pands the scope o. the existing s.rbitra-
ton treaties by eliminating the excep-
tons referring to questions of vital In
terest and national honor
This elimination is the real accomplish
ment of the proposed treaty. The ex-
ceptions mentioned are found in arbitra-
ton treaties the world over and have
constituted the chief obstacle to the APP
plication of the arbitration principle, for
it is hard to conceive of a problem
which in its essence cannot be regarded
as having a controlling bearing upon
national honor" or vital interest
Recognizing that there may be ques-
tions of policy and other matters likely
to force nations to the brink of war. but
which no people would be willing to
bitrate. the tentative draft of the treaty
provides that differences that either party
consider within this category shall be re-
ferred TO a commission of inquiry en-
powered to make recommendations for
their settlement. In this connection the
treaty will take another advanced step
by binding the disputants to arbitration
in case the commission of inquiry de-
clares that the controversy should be ar
bitrated.

Thinks Not internationally Justi-

SECRETARY KNOX EXPLAINS

Great Britain and also France are now
in diplomatic negotiation with the United
States for general arbitration treaties.
The draft of the American proposition,
meant to be a model for similar pacts be-
tween other powers that may desire to
arrange an arbitration agreement with
the United States. was laid before Am
bassadors Bryce and Jusserand yester-
day.
That France was interested in the ne
gotiations was surprise. Secretary
Knox explained that Ambassador JUS
serand had expressed the concurrence of
France in the general proposition Of arbi-
tration for the settlement of all interna-
ton disputes. and had intimated to the
United States the desire of his country
to enter into negotiations.
The draft is a basis for negotiating
permanent treaties on general lines. Cues
tons Of honor and vital interest are to
be subject 10 arbitration. The Hague
tribunal will decide issues.
Questions which both parties agree are
not justiciable are to be referred to spe-
cial commissions to devise means of set
Element. Agreements are to be submitted
to the United States Senate for ratifica-
ton. The remainder of the treaty pro-
vides the necessary machinery for arbi-
tration.
