WAS JOHNSON THE EQUAL OF JACKSON9,
By Tad

w Peter Jaeksons The other day
We spilled a lotta words about
johnson and Jackson. Today we show
you a clipping from a paper dated quite
a few years back. The stuff was written
by W. W. Naughton, who was, before his
death, considered the greatest boxing
authority in America
This is what he wrote concerning
johnson and Jackson. He knew them
both very well and, as we say at the
club, KNEW whereof he spoke.
ITO begin with, the two famous
colored opponents of the glove game do
not compare. 1 mean they had not a
thing in common They presented a
striking contrast and that is why l can't
make up my mind how a fight between
them would have come out if they had
hourished contemporaneously.
Peter Jackson. in my idea, was the
most finished Of all the boxers developed
under the Mace system. He was a mar
velous judge of distance, a wonderfully
sure hitter and he had tremendous
reach He could send in q straight left
that it seemed impossible for an op-
ponent to get out of the way of it. He
could draw a mans fire and meet him
with a right cross that would land
squarely on ear or chin.
He knew to a dot when to unload

M,VEY-JOHNsON BATTLE.

Sam McVey and Jack johnson min
gled in a Los Angeles ring IS years
ago tonight, Black Jack having the
better Of the 20 round argument with
the California negro. This was Nc
Vey's first real battle, and he put up
an excellent display for a novice
Sam was then in his 18th year. while
Johnson was 25, and had at least a
score Of bouts under his belt Nc
Vey had developed his muscles by
working as a lumberman. cutting and
loading railroad ties. After his fight
with Johnson he took on the veteran
Kid Garter, a great fighter in his
day. but then slipping back, and
knocked him out in the 18th round
Sans next triumph was over Denver
ed Martin, who stayed less than
round with the black boy. Sam then
thought he was riDe to fight johnson
again, but Jack whipped him in the
20 round affair at Los Angeles. A
third meeting in San Francisco re-
suited in Sans defeat by knockout
in the 20th round. After that McVey
went abroad. and he was one Of the
nioneers who popularized boxing in
France, where for many years he
was a popular idol.

an suffrage Association, who wait. /
on him at the White House at !
O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
Mrs. Gait, who is president Of his
association. headed the delegation,
and read to the President the mic
moral from the French suffraSists.
with her were Dr.. Anna Howard
Shaw, chairman of the woman's Com
mittee of the Council Of National De-
Tense; Mrs. Helen II. Gardener. OF
this city: Mrs. Maud Wood Parks
Miss Ruth White and Miss Rose
Young.
The International Woman Suffrage
Alliance. through which the President
delivered his message. is made up of
national suffrage associations OF
twenty-siX countries. Thus, in an
swering the appeal, the President IN
effect becomes the mouthpiece of the
suffragists OF all these countries in
his insistence that the family of ma
tons shall give a position Of equality
to the women of its household.
Mrs. Gait Responds
Commenting on the Presidents
action, Mrs. Gait said:
The President ztrikes at the very
heart of the matter. His utterance
will give courage and hope to the
women of our allied countries who
are bearing such tragic burdens in
this titanic struggle for freedom.
and Is sure to be the cause OF sin
cere qualification to suffragists all
over this country.
The President points out unmis-
takably that the principle of self
government for which America is
nghting so gallantly abroad must
De put in practice at home, and that
the immediate step toward that end
Is the passage of the federal suf-
rage amendment by the United
states Senate"
IL Is expected by the suffrage
leaders generally that the Presi-
dents action will mot only prod
the Senate to action on the suffrage
amendment, which has already
passed the House, but will give big
impetus to the suffrage movements
IN all the allied countries.
England May Follow
The woman suffragists in Great
Britain have declared a truce with
the government on the suffrage
question for the period OF the war
but IL would not be surprising here
IL a definite move in favor of the
franchise in England might be
drawn amicably from the Lloyd

The District Council of Defense. at
q meeting in the District Building
yesterday afternoon. recommended to
the commissioners that the Charities
Endorsement Committee of the Dis
trict be requested to make inquiry
into the activities of all unofficial
organizations soliciting money for
war purposes in Washington.
This action was taken in accord
ance with a notice being sent to
State councils of defense by the
Council Of National Defense. The
purpose OF the inquiry. it was ex-
planned, would not be to restrict the
work of any worthy society, put
merely to insure the public AGAINST
imposition. The action was not tho
result Of any complaint made in the
District.
The council announced the appoInt-
ment OF DR.. George NJ. Keber to head
the housing committee, in place of
Edward E. Clement. who resigned.
Arthur z. Holder was selected to
represent the council at a national
