Mexico City, Dec. I4.-Jack Johnson,
toreador premier.
By such suspicious title is the for
mer heavyweight boxing champion of
the world being hailed In Mexico.
LII Arthur made his debut in the
bullring this afternoon before huge
crowd. He scored a technical knock
out over two large bulls after a real
fight during which he was felled twice
almost for the count. He proved him
self an able jumper on two occasions
by clearing the high wall OF the en-
closure when an enrased toro's horns
came close to his anatomy.
Jack was given a great ovation when
he STROBE across the ring. He scorncd
the conventional outfit of the bull
fighter, and appeared attired in 2 stiff
collar, shirt sleeves, white flannel
trousers and duo colored sport shoes.
A flashy multi-colored toreador's cape
was thrown about his shoulders. His
head was bear and the sun beat down,

and In accordance with the custom of
bestowing the cape on the lady of the

The bull then entered and Jack

and Jack tented and iabbed with his
old-time cleverness. The bull, how
ever, found an opening and charged

Johnson rammed the spear between
the front launches and the bull was

CARNIVAL COMES SUNDAY.
Sacred Concert That Afternoon, Shows
Open Monday Night.

The S. w. Brundage show, that IS 10
be at the fair grounds all Of next
week and shown under the auspices or
Frank Lewis Click post of the Ameri-
can Legion, will reach the city Sunday
afternoon. The opening performance
of the attractions will be Monday
night.
The carnival will occupy the base
ball diamond and the entrance to the
show ground will be near the west end
Of the grand stand. Automobiles VIII
not be allowed to cross the race track
and motor vehicles win have to use the
east entrance to the grounds from
Main street so as not to interfere with
passengers and street car traffic at
the west entrance. A somewhat novel
feature Of the show will be the sacred
concert on the steam calliope early
Sunday afternoon by William T. Ware
An illustration Of the added cost OF
handling a railroad show under federal
administration of the railroads Is
pointed out by the company. The
Brundage company owns its railroad
cars. which will be switched onto a
siding and stored during the week, but
the show company will have to pay 81
a day for the storage of each car. Such
a charge was unheard of before the
federal administration took over the
railroads.

Makes Naturalization
Easy For Veterans Of
the World Wide War

That naturalization II to be made
easy for those aliens. who entered the
service OF the United States in the
world war without having to do so be-
cause they were not natudalized, Is
shown by notice that has been recei-
we'd at the office of Clerk of Courts q.
w. Gilbert. The notice Is to the effect
that a federal examiner for the depart
ment will be here "Wednesday, Aug. D
to examine and assist veterans who
want to be naturalized. All those who
are interested are expected to appear
with their witnesses at in the morn
ing at the office of the clerk of courts.
It should be borne I'm mind that this
service is only for discharged soldiers,
sailors and others who served in the
war. 1t will not be necessary for
these veterans first to take out pre-
liminary papers. All they need do Is
to make formal application for nat
uralization when they come wednes-
day. They must bring with them two
witnesses and their discharge from the
army. No certificate of arrival OF the
alien in this country is necessary or
required and 1t will not be necessary
for the veteran to file a declaration OF
intent. The witnesses do not have to
know the applicant for naturalization
for five years, as is ordinarily required,
but they need only have known him
for short time.
The leniency of the government in its
naturalization of aliens who served
Uncle Sam is apparent from the re-
quirements listed above. Ordinarily an
applicant must file, first certificate
Of the time he landed, showing his
place of birth, date, when he landed
and on what ship. He is then required
to file a declaration of intent of his
purpose to become a naturalized citl-
zen. After the required lapse of years
the applicant must then appear IN
court, with the witnesses who have
known him in his last residence for
five years, and the applicant must pass
an examination in civil government or
his state and counary that many nat
ural born citizens could not pass.
The government has taken for
granted the aliens loyalty, by the
very act of going TO war, for the United
States when he was not compelled to-
because he was not a citizen, ana
could not have been drafted for the
same reason.
