prortuding from beneath a racing car in the rear of the Johnson home, upon, Wabash avenue,. Chicago. By a trUb- j conscious process of mental deduction he connected the voice and feet with the physical body of Ja?k Johnson. . "I want to talk to you," he said"Tell it to the Kink of Henmark," replied the voice from the exterior. As was stated before, the reporter was a logician and,' reasoning from cause to effect, he cried: "You don't owe me anything; I'm not' going to sue you."

"I'm from The Lake County Times and want an Interview." By installments the mighty body of the fistic marvel emerged. "Pleased to meet you I'm leary of strangers no , offense, I hope," said Johnson cordially' Reporters are unused to being cred-, ited with feelings and the one address-! ed felt around to see if he was In bed. Looking up into the -smiling ' optics, glistening molars, genial features of the colored man, he was convinced that it was not a dream. I Interviews with leading ladles, soubrettes and the profesh he had classed as oassls in the monotonous plains of Journalism, but a heart to heart talk with a notorious son of Ham had been distasteful. But for some unexplalnable reason the essence of good nature that radiated from the dusky countenance dispelled" all such meditations. "The editor says that you broke your engagement at Hammond to escape arrest." "If he wasn't so gabby he wouldn't say that," smiled Li'l Artha' in reply. "Where did you go when you passed through Hammond Friday," asked the undaunted one. "Down to see der lake."

"It's old, but still good, remarked the

able and started upon a different line. 'What do you think of Jimmy Clabby, the welterweight?" "Clabby Is a very clever young fellow, although not fully developed. Ev erything depends upon his earnestness and habits," said Johnson seriously. "When do you expert to retire?" "In one year." . "Do you think that, the ten round limit will kill prize fighting?" The big fellow hesitated a minute, but coming to a decision said: "In time it will help it, but not for the time being." "Is it true that you adoped some of the methods used by Gans?'V The subject of pugilism exhausted, the reporter took the only alternative motoring. 'Have you any hobbies beracing?" "None." "What time have you made In your machine?" "Ninety-three miles an hour,' said Johnson enthusiastically. "But it guaranteed much higher." "Owing to the publicity attending you since July the 4th, the public has formed an unfavorable opinion of your character, said the reporter by way of explanation, 'Are you a religious man?" "I have my beliefs, but I simply practice the doctrineof treating people as they wish to be," said Johnson earnestly. By that time a crowd had gathered around the machine, which had been put in shape by two darkies. The big smoke seated himself at the wheel of the enormous gray speeder and in an instant disappeared around the corner and drovedown Wabash avenue. This Is not Intended as a sociological treatise upon the race question, for like the seven-year-itch agitation only enrages. The reporter who went with the conviction thaj: Jack Johnson was the most obnoxious of individuals returned wondering why the color glands beneath the dermis also blackened the heart of a man In the mind of all white people.

EL6I1 ENTRIES TO BE LIMITED FOB SAFETY In order to make for safety as much as possible, the contest board of the Elgin road races to be held August 26 and 27 announced yesterday that a limit of twenty-two had been placed on the three events of the opening day's program. . This action was taken because lt was felt that more than twen ty-two cars on an eight and one-half mrile course would make it dangerous for all the participants. The first foreign car to nose into the coming speedfest was- nomfnai:ed yes terday when E. A." Hearne named a thirty horse power Benz for the Fox River trophy event, for ears of from 161 to 230 Cubic inches piston displace ment. Another car entered was the j Jackson, which was put in by the j Ralph Temple Automobile company for the Elgin national trophy, the feature race of the second day. The. car will be driven by E. F. Schlefler. The edict of the contest board leaves ut few vacancies the first day five to be exact and there are enough knocking at the door now to fill these without any trouble. The Maxwell is said to be preparing a fleet for the first day, although formal entry has not been made yet. The Warren-Detroit, Lex ington and Corbin are alp lined up and there are several others who have 'nibbled" at the tempting bait. The contest board has decided that the practice hours shall be ficm 11 a. m. to 2 p. m. each day, althougbt It is thought the course hardly will be ready for the racers before next Mon day. The races themselves will start at 10 o'clock each day, which will give the spectators a chance to get to their seats. The course on race days will be closed at 9 o'clock in the morning, so every one will have to be placed before that time. EAST CHICAGO WINS IN TENTH INNING (Special to Trtn Times.) East Chicago.
