JOHNSON SUES JESS
FOR FAKE Fight?
London Papers Say He Is After
Money.

Many attacks on the genuineness Of
the Jess Willard-Ja johnson fight
for the worlds heavyweight cham
pion have been made, but the worst
jolt appears in the latest issue Of
John Bull which has just reached
this country from England. Horatio
Bottomley, the editor or the paper,
stands by any disclosure his periods
cal makes He charges that johnson
declared that the fight was fake
and that Johnson now is forced to adj
nit it, because he has not received
$50, 900, a guarantee that was prom
ised him for laying down to willard.
Here is John Bulls story:
We are sorry we have to return to
our old friend Jack j ohnson, of whom
we hoped we had taken final fare
well after, as we thought, he had
been genuinely deprived Of the cham
pionship title by Willard in April last.
johnson evidently cannot go
straight, and we now put before our.
readers certain further facts, which
will satisfy them that this man should
not any longer be tolerated in our
country They refer to his recent
fight with Willard, and while throw
ing grave doubt upon the genuineness
of the contest prove oonciusively that
Johnson is man who should be
warned OFF, from the ring We are
not entitled to say that there was any
compact with Willard It may be that
so far as he is concerned the affair
was straight and above board, and
that he fought in ignorance Of the
sordid bargain to which Johnson
pleads guilty, but In view of what we
are about to disclose, some explana-
ton from him would certainly appear
to be desirable, and<we need scarcely
say that our columns are open to
him for the purpose.
We are not aware Of the date upon
which Johnson reached England after
the fight, but ne could not have been
here long before he was busy formu .
lating claims for having agreed to
| "lay down" to Willard, whom he de-
scribes, from the boxing point Of
view, as merely "a joke" and offers
! to fight for side bet of twenty five
THOUSAND" presumably dollars-the
! winner to take all and purse money"
These admissions and challenges are
! contained in certain cables sent to
| New York early in June. We do not,
for obvious reasons, at present dis
/ close the name of the person to whom
they were addressed, especially in
view of the fact that he repudiates
having been party to any such dishon \
est arrangement as that suggested
! although, Of course, johnson cannot
escape from his self-confessed fraud
| The first cable was despatched from
| London on June 9. and this IS how it
reads:

JACK JOHNSON
We do not know the exact terms
Of the reply which Johnson received
but it is obvious from his next mes
sage that it was not of satisfactory
character and that his demand was
characterized by a somewhat ugly
name For on June IL e8find him

fidence his ability to beat me will bet
twenty-five, thousand Winner take

JOHNSON
Now, as we have so often said, we
have no desire to pursue unduly this
dusky gentleman, but we do call up
on him to clear himself, if he can, of
this latest scandaEor to clear out.
When we exposed him before he
first challenged us to come and fight
shim-w is not in our line; Their
he offered to stake 1900 against q
similar sum from us if we could prove
the genuineness Of the documents
which we reproduced. To this we re-
piled to the effect that we would
lodge $4,000 against his goo and for.
felt it if we failed to substantiate our
charges But this did not suit Jack.
So next he issued a writ for libel
against us-subsequently allowing the
action to drop. S
1t will be remembered that we,
charged him with having endeavored
to square the fight in Paris with Mo-
ram and that we reproduced does
UNI ent signed by him and by which
he agreed to allow Moran a certain
percentage of the gate money pro-
vided he laid down" within eight
rounds. The scheme, however. Hid
not work, johnson had got. hold OF
the wrong man in Dan McKetrick,
Moran,s manager, whose instructions
to his "boy', was to go in and win
with the result that he went through
the twenty rounds, much to the sur
prise of Jack, who was constantly cal
ling on him to give in.
AS we have said, we have no color
prejudice We do not forget thas
prince of the ring-the acrf1e of AL
q sportsnna an, black or white, should be
Peter Jackson; and If johnson had
only taken Peter as model of WHIT
a real champion should be We would
have forgiven him much and acid
out the glad hand to him, but he real
ly is impossi ble-fand he must CO.
We therefore now call upon every
recognized boxing club and authority
in the world to rid the grand old
sport of his menace to its good name.
All our proofs are at their disposal.
Boxing is the white mans sport. Let.
us keep it clean. So ong as the game.
was played straight we put up with
the taunt Of having no white cham
pion and we freely acknowledged the
negro's skill il he has lost the title 1T
is his own fault but never again must
he be allowed to seek it back Jack
johnson is finished.

BECKER 5 APPEAL TO
GOV. WHITMAN FAILS
N. Y. Executive Says Statement
Has Not Changed His Opinion,

Albany, II. Ks, July 22.-Governor
Whitman said last night that care
full study of the statement Of former
Police Lieutenant Charles Becker.
, now under sentence of death, had
not. changed his opinion OF the gu.lt
Of the convicted man.
s.There is only one thing new in the
statement" the governor said. That
is the allegation that the late Alfred
Henry Lewis told Becker he was to
be framed up That would have
been an important bit Of evidence, If
true. But If ii were true, why was
not Lewis called to the stand during
Becker's second trial? Now, with
Becker facing death, we hear Of this
matter after Lewis is dead.
The governor said that during
Becker's trial he was familiar with
virtually all the allegations made by
the CONDEMNED man in the statement.
The governor added that ne would
have. questioned Becker concerning
them if Becker had taken the witness
stand in mis- own defense.
Confirms Roses's Story.
The Becker statement, the gov
ernor declared, only confirmed Jack
Roses story that, after the Rosenthai
murder Becker sent to Rose charg-
ing him not to tell anything he knew
about the case.
Bernard Sander, attorney for Rose
and for sam Schepps. another witness
at the Becker trial, conferred with
the governor yesterday
Sander told me, said the, gov
ernor, that he recently had talked
with Rose and that he would not re-
tract Dit Of his testimony
The Becker statement was deliver
ed to the governor yesterday John
3. Johnston, one Of the Becker at
torneys.
The governor said last night that
Harry Appelbaun. formerly big
Tim Sullivan's secretary, conferred
with him recently. Appelbaum added
no material evidence to the case. the /
executive said sss
New Britain herald., 1915-07-22
Appelbaum supports Becker.

New York, July Corrobora-
ton Of some features Of the appeal Of
Charles Becker under sentence OF
death for instigating the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler was
given here last night in lengthy
statement issued by Harry Appel
baum, secretary to the late Timothy
D. Sullivan, one time representative
in congress and state senator.
Appelbaum said that Following the
publication OF RosenthaIs af11davit
Sullivan sent him to see Becker and
to get the latter To come to Sullivan's
ONCE Appelbau1,a says that he met
Jack Rose. Bridge Weber and Har-
ry WALTON and got Rose to call up
Becker who promised to come down
to sullivans office. ...-s
Appelbaum brought Becker down IN
his ear with Rose. On the way Rose
showed his bitterness toward Rosen-
thai, saying Some one ought to
croak Rosenthal. I, Appelbaun added:
Becker Against Plan.
II Immediately protested at such a
thought and Becker spoke up and
said, No they hadn't. He wants to
be let absolutely alone, No friend of
mine must harm q hair of his head,
for If they do it will be blamed TO
me. I, sss
Reaching Sullivan's office Appel
baum said that Sullivan suggested to
Becker that perhaps it would be q
good thing to have Rosenthal 80
away " Until the thing was tided
over s s
Becker objected. Appelbaum said,
he lBecker) adding that Rosenthal
would say Sullivan sent him away.
Appelbaum said that when the con-
ference ended Sullivan called him
aside and told him in the presence OF
Becker that he must see Rosenthal
that night and tell him that he must
not go down to the district attorneys
i office to corroborate his AFFIDAVIT In
the aff1davit Rosenthal declared that
Becker was interested in his gam
| bling house
Appelbaum said that he met Ro-
senthal and that the latter promised
that he would not persist in trying To
get any one to corroborate the affida-
/ Wit.
so There was never. Appelbaun1
continued, any proposition made to
i Herman Rosenthal from Tim Sullivan
or from me to go away, or to receive
any sum Of money, for Herman al
ways stood ready to do anything Tim
asked him to do. Any meetings
that I had with Becker or with any,
one else after the murder were for the
/ purpose Of keeping sullivan's name
from being used in connection with
this matter
Loaned Roscnthal Big sum.
Here Appelbaum said that Sullivan
had loaned Rosenthal, on several oc-
/ casions, sums Of money aggregating
i $500 each, just as he had done to
many other friends. =
/ Appelbaum said that he had been
willing to make his statement at all
times since Sullivan's death Before
the second trial he said, he told John
I Becker, brother Of Charles Becker,
that the proper thing for his brother
to do, if he was innocent, was to take
the stand. =
Appelbaum's statement concluded:
IF there is anything IN this statement
i that will create such a reasonable
i doubt OF Becker's guilt In the minds
of the public, or those who have
power to act. am very glad to give
It in the interests of Justice

AERIAL TORPEDO
BOAT PATENTED
Rear Admiral FiSke'S Invention
for War Approved.

Washington, July 22.-An aerial
torpedo boat for attack on ships in
protected harbors is projected in pat
ents just issued, it was learned today,
to Rear Admiral Brady A. Fiske, now
attached to the navy war college, but
formerly aid for operations to Secre-
tary Daniels. The plan contem-
plates equipping a monster aero
plane, similar to a number now under
construction in this country for the
British government with a Whitehead
torpedo of regulation navy type.
Sweeping down at a distance of five
sea miles from the object of attack
the air craft would drop it's deadly
messenger into the water just as it
would have been launched from a
destroyer. The impact sets the tor
pedo's machinery in motion and it is
off at a speed of more than forty
knots an hour seward the enemy
ship
Land Locked Harbor.
Admiral Fiske believes that the
flying torpedo would make it possible
to attack fleet even within a land
locked harbor. The, range of the
newest navy torpedoes is 10000 yards
and even the older types will be ef-
ried on huge aeroplane the 1000
pound wapon would be taken over
harbor defences at an altitude safe
from gunfire. Once over the bay the
machine would glide to within ten or
20 feet of the water, the torpedo rud-
ders would be set and it would be
dropped to do its work while the
aeroplane rose and speed away

Radfo Controlled Torpedo.
1t is said ito be possible that type
of radio controlled torpedo might be
employed. one aeroplane carrying the
torpedo and another the wireless ma
cf1inery to control the missiles flight
through the water 1t is pointed out
that Admiral Fiske secured patents
on such a method of control in 1900
when he was lieutenant commander
in the navy. They are said to be so
broad, and far-reaching as to underlie
all subsequent development of radio
control devices.
my invention said the applica-
ton filed by Lieutenant Fiske, before
the battle of Manila was fought, is
especially applicable to automobile
torpedoes and makes it possible to
control the movements of torpedo
with great certainty from a shore,
from the deck of a ship or the like
Since the aerial torepdo plan was

man engineers were at work with a
somewhat similar scheme. 1t is pro-
posed to drop from aeroplanes tor
