 ! Jack Johnson smiled his famous gol- den smile at his headquarters this morning while he Idled away the tiIne before the fight. The black champion took a stroll before breakfast but be- yond that did nothing in the line ef exercise. Johnson is undoubtedly over his best ring weight and though he said he would enter the ring at z25 he appeared to be several pounds heav- ? ier.4
 .1'l be right there all the way laughed Johnson this morning. know when have reached my best condition All this talk of my having lost my punching ability is nonsense Just you ask my sparring partners, They will tell you. AS to Willard know he is a strong boy, but you know what old Fitzsimmons once said, I-he bigger they are the harder they fall I'll get him with a series of blows that will put him under before many rounds have been run off. I just love that championship and am not going to lose it. g
 Willard thought he would start for the ring about II o'clock while the champion said he would go over to from Key West brought many visitors. Before daybreak crowds of natives secure in the belief and hope that Johnson would retain his la.urels, be gan pouring into the city. The streets were filled with a motley throng and the training quarters Of the pugilists were the center Of ad-
 niring crowds. Hours before the two giants stepped into the ring the stands were black with spectators They went to the track by automo- bile, by trolley and in every de- scription of vehicle and on foot
 President Menocal and his cabin ct, the congress of Cuba the gover- nor of Havana province. the mayor of the city, foreign ministers and hundreds of women were in the au- dience. The electric lines were un- able to handle the crowds and many. walked the 10 miles from Havana

ARREST SHELTON STREET MAN ON SPINDLE CHARGE Post Office Inspectors In vestigate Central Neck
 wear House" In City LOCAL MAN IS HELD
 ON FRAUD CHARGE "No Money Back If Work Is Wrong Find It Was
 Never Done Rightly

Another mail order swind1e oper ating in Bridgeport has been detected by United States post office authori- ties. Clarence V. Baldwin of ASA Shelton street, was arrested Saturday afternoon on the charge of using the mails to ldefraud and was ar- raigned before United States Com missioner Wright in New Haven.
 Baldwin owned the Central Neck ware House." which is alleged to have been the means of swindling many poor women and girls throughout the country.
 Baldwin advertised for women and girls to do work at home. When they answered they were told to mail $1 for the work as a guarantee, and wheA the $1 was received he mailed them three cheap cotton ties to be sewed. The stipulation was incIud- ed that if the work is not. done cor rectly the s 1 will not be returned.
 According to post office inspectors; not one case has been found where the work was done right, according to Baldwin's way of thinking. Nobody ever got the $1 back. No matter how good the seamstress, she always did her work wrong.
 This resulted in complaints. An investigation was made. Inspectors P. D. Colvin and Don c. Rapp got out a warrant for Baldwin. Saturday and United States Marshall Sidney HawIey arrested Baldwin at his Shell ton street address.
 Baldwin was taken to New Haven and arraigned before Commissioner Wright His case was continued un- til April 8, under bonds of $500 The insp pectors declare that they have 100 cases against Baldwin. He is said to have operated in various parts of the country, but he has been here less than ayear The law provides d penalty of not more than sI.8asJ of five years in prison, or both

CROWD OF 15,OOO CHEERS
 AS FIGHTERS ENTER RING

Havana, April 5-Although Jack Johnson and Jess Willard were, not to meet till 12:30 o'clock this after noon. Havana time, for the heavy weight championship of the world, the early hours of the forenoon saw thousands on the way to the Marinao race course, where the fight was stag ed. Neither the black champion nor the cowboy fighter changed over night their. optimistic sentiments. Johnson said he was in good shape and didn't care if the fight was a hard one as he was eft to go any distance
 Willard's packers were certain that their man would win if the fight went beyond ten rounds. Willard himself asserted that he was not in the least nervous over the result.
 It was the old story of skill and strength against youth and strength with the betting odds at to on JoIanson's skill. Johnson. one of the largest men who ever stepped in to a prize ring, faced an opponent measurably larger and ten years younger than himself. The negro champion is ss years old, Willard IS 2s, weighing normally 20 pounds more than Johnson.
 Not in the history of prizefghting has two such fighters been brought to- gether. The scene of the fight was 10 miles from the city. Thousands made their way to the track hours before the time set for opening the show
 Tex O'Rourke. one of W1llard's ad- visers,, thought that in the first ten rounds the advantage would be with Johnson because of his superior skill. After that OsRourke thought Willard would wear the champion down. In thirty rounds or less, he thought, Will lard would win.
 tI am ht,' said Willard, to crowd of admirers who had come. to his train ng quarters to look him over. Why shouldn't I be ready? I have worked hard for several weeks and am down to my proper ring weight of 245 pounds. have left just enough fat on me to burn off during the fight. I have stud led Johnson's style, understand his methods and have planned my ring campaign accordingly. I rather ex- pect the fight to run about fifteen rounds at the least. Johnson's condi- ton will enable him to carry a fast pace for this distance Then the strain will tell and will push him to
