LONDON CROWDS
WITH J.JOHNSON
Negro PugiEst Receives Wild
Greeting From Great
Mobs in Street.

London, Aug. 26.-The man in the
street showed last night In an emphat-
ic manner that he does not share in
the hostility to Jack Johnson, the
American negro pugilist. He regards
the negro as the victim of persecution
which is due to color prejudice.
Notwithstanding the announcement
that Johnson's appearance had been
postponed, the Euston music hall and
South London music hall, where he
had been billed to appear, we're denSe-
ly crowded last night, and there were
great mobs outside of each.
Johnson's first turn was at the
Euston. Here there was a great up
roar from the moment the curtain
went up. The audience was determin-
ed to have Johnson, and stood up and
shouted for him.
They refused to listen to two come
diennes who had refused to appear il
| Johnson did, but in consequence of the
announcement of the postponement of
| his appearance had agreed to go on.
The audience drowned the efforts of
|
cat calls, and Kisses, and they were
Obliged to retire. and the whole show
was held up.
Presently roar of cheering outside
the hall announced that something
was happening. Johnson's car had
arrived with the big negro, who was
all smiles. The crowd yelled with de
light at Johnson's appearance and
climbed all over the car In an effort tc
shake hands with him.
Johnson was almost smothered BY
the mob that got on all parts of the
car, and the police had great difficulty
in clearing pathway for the pugilis
to the entrance.
Johnson and his friends marched II

Discrepancy of s3,741 in one special
Improvement fund.
ment fund, aggregating $500, had
been paid twice.
That bond issue of $4,000 was in
duplicate and that the duplicate bonds
were signed by city officials and to all
appearances are regular and could have
been sold.
That large number of paid bond
coupons have not been Cancelled. but
are permitted to remain in various
Offices.
The report says these coupons could
be paid a second time and that the
practice affords an opportunity for
wholesale robbery of the city. 1t urges
a complete audit of the treasurer's &C.
counts, an audit of all coupon transac-
tons and an audit of the special tax
collectors office.
Former Treasurer Gerold, the report
points out, made good the discrepancy
of s3,741 when it was called to his
attention. He told the accountants
that before they called his attention
to the discrepancy he informed the
mayor that his official cash was over"
by s2,700 and that he would hold the
amount pending examination of his &C.
counts.
In addition the report indicates that
"a large number of prominent property
owners are escaping payment of special
taxes" but the special tax collectors
books were IN such condition the &C
countants did not complete the investi-
cation they began. The report says
the property owners involved never
pay their assessments except when
compelled to do so to clear title"
When such properties are put up at
tax sale, the report adds, "the county

NOT SENDING CANNON
TO MEXICAN BORDER

Word was passed about the city to-
day that a large shipment of arma-
ment was being made from Rock Is
land arsenal to the Mexican border.
Asked in regard to it, Colonel Bur,
the commandant, said that the ar u.
lery was being removed from shop x
to make more room for the harness de-
partment and had been loaded onto a
car for convenience in transportation.
A place for the big guns will be found

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 26.-Possi-

courts over the constitutionality of
Canada's drastic immigration act, I'M

Harry Thaw, was the favorite theme

Thaw continued to show little inter

| He was mailing and telegraphing state

notwithstanding all theories about
court delay here, he apparently ex-

I'VE believe Thaw will be promptly

Vermont is none of our affair."
Thaw's many lawyers, fearful lest
he might hurt his case with his con

DR.. w. G. Bagley Gives Excellent
Address at Teachers
Meeting.
MANY MORE ARE ENROLLED
Large Number Join Classes This
Morning-Committee on Pen
sions Holding Session.

That genius is nothing more or less
than the habit of receiving discipline,
was the keynote of DR.. W. c. Bagley's
address this morning on the "Out-
come of Teaching before the Teach
ers' institute now being conducted at
the high school.
DR.. Bagley in his address contended
that skill was an outcome of specific
habit and that it required great effort
without which nothing was really
worth while. specialization and atten-
tive repetition he pointed out as the
great factors in habit building. He
declared that neither he nor any one
else could point out an easy road to
success-that it came only with the
greatest effort.
HAPPINESS IN SKILL.
THE greatest joy and happiness OBJ.
tainable comes from mastery" DR..
Bagley declared THE kealest de-
light comes from the tasks over which
We have complete mastery. Happf.
ness comes from skill. The mere fact
that there is no royal road to success,
that it is attained only through great
efforts, is in reality what makes it so
dear to US and gives US such joy and
happiness when We once have OBJ
tanned it,
