"Who is doing this?" Judge 1-orltou
asked, refining to the alleged outrages.
"It is done by sin organized baud
who have deliberately sought to create
a reign of terror, or was it started
by men with more or less worthy objects,
who undertook to arrogate mm.
themselves the functions of government
and have allowed the situation
to get beyond their control? Is it bev
jug done by men who still believe they
can usurp the functions of the courts.
The jurist said thai men who
thought that they eould serenely am*

of punishment wore lacking in knowledge
of history or the understanding
of human nature.
""Law and order must bo restored a',

Detroit. Mich., Sept. 20.?Doubi*crossed

* newspaper notoi'icty, Karl 11. Johnson
tliroc-times national amateur champion,
and the greatest niiddle-distanco
runner tho country has over known. ,
was tire victim of unscrupulous white
press agents here last Saturday. |
Johnson,, who won tho 102J Petro.t ;
' News Marathon, had hocn invited to ,
take part in tho race this year.
lie informed the race' ollieials tluw !
he would not run the race unless lde
course lie changed.
The men agreed to this, but when
Johnson reached Detroit lie discovered
that the course had not been changed.
lie forthwith notified the officials
that ho Absolutely Refused to 'Run
They then advised him that, inasmuch
as the advertisement was built
around him, that it would be best foi
him to start, the race.
Johnson started the race, and quit
after he had run five blocks. The announcement
came out later that Join
son had quit after lie had run five
miles! Such bosh!
Could anyone with just a spoonful
of conimonsense conceive of a nation
nl five mile and ten-mile champion
quitting after running five miles?
And then, to make it appear worse, no
excuse was given to warrant such act
1011 .
QIear-minded and fair-sporMovi'K.
can readily son the motive for this mi
derhmid method of double-crossing.
Later Johnson won the flve-ml! >
race hands down.

to tell just, how live and active
the people of a town are Is by observ

contains strong editorials on thrift;

in tlio boxing me. together with tiro
unprecedented demand for a Wills*
Dompsry meeting, arid the willingness
of a certain group of promoters to conn
ply with the almost impossible liemantis
of the commission, is regarded
as the entering wedge to a championship
match, with a colored man and a
white man as (lie principals. It is
thought that the New York public,
i wl? cli has not been used' to mixed

mixed mutches, go that when the groat
est of all matches of this type,?tlio
Wi'l:>Doinpscy affair?is announced, it.

This angle of the situation can bo
taken for what it is worth, but the
fact remains that tlio invisible ban

of the stithest contests from start to

Ph., got tho decision over Eddie Caw*

During the first four rounds it seemed
as (hough Carver had tho host of tho
affray. At the hegining of the fifth
session Carter sailed Into Eddie with
all might and main, fighting like mad
and managed to land a few stingers
During the sixth, seventh, and part of
the eighth Carver managed to put up
one of tho cleverest defensive fights
seen hero in many moons. Many oi
the fans, however, thought that Carv
er should have heen given the decision
as his method of fighting showed moro
scientific boxing than Carter's but tho
rofereo handed the clocision to Carter.
Wihile it. was only the preliminary

be yes and maybe no. We shall wait

It is said that the now application
blank, which includes requests for
statements of race and color of applicants.
is not intended to anticipate
the conclusions of the eofaiinittoo now
investigating restriction of enrollment
Hut why should the Negro or the
Jew worry :j.boul entering Harvard so
much. Hotli races are developing
strong institutions of learning in var
ions places in this country, we are ii> ;
formed. Hut, the point of contention
seems to be based on the const iutionnl
right of American citizens to enjoy tlie
iidvantage of whatever nature any-,
where in this country. Harvard is sup
posed to be the foremost institution of
learning in this country and leading i
in disseminating the broad-minded
principles upon which this country
was founded .
