Hot any. He is as flashy as ever and thinks he has a -walkover, but I'll fool him if possible. I have had lots of people tell i me never to, fight Johnson, and some were San Francisco ' people, ' but I al .'ways said I would fight him when I got : ready. The ones who told me not to meet him didn't change my intentions, you see. In all my career I have used . my own judgment, and I have been very successful.

If I lose I am sure not to fight again. - e - haven't picked the . referee yet 'Johnson wants Eugene Corrie, who ref- nreed my contest with Qunner Molr, but I would prefer someone else. I wanted Jeffries, but Johnson wouldn't stand for him. He says Jeff is sore at htm be cause he beat Jeff's brother. (What a Joke).

New York, Deer. 19.- It takes but a glance at the Australian papers to see how remarkable is the interest In the coming Burns-Johnson fight. Burns, the champion, has made a tremendous hit in Australia, the new Eldorado of pugilism. And Johnson, by his gigan tic stature and his pantherlike skill In boxing, has no doubt 'made himself an object of awe to the natives, although he has been training there only a month. That Johnson has made an im pression is proved by the laconic state ment "Betting even. The negro sine has offset to a degree Burn s easy vic tories over Australian fighters Tommy has taken up the old stunt Invented by Bob Fitxalmmons, of charg ing admittance to his training quarters. No doubt seeing him In action Is well worth whatever he charges. And even if this is only a small sum. the receipts from 6000 people dally for a month or more will add materially to the $86 -000 that he is cleaning up In Australia in his three flghta and his few weeks of thentrical work at $650 a night. xtiAM , v, tax nno In direct earnings. he has this training camp money and the receipts from the moving picture film that he is to take to England soon after the fight. If he wins the fight he can easily make tSO.OOO more in Eng land. America and Canada with the moving pictures. The grand total of hla receipts in that case will thus be about $146,000, all for less than a years work In the ring and on the stage.

(Spedal Dispatch ta Th Journal. Olvmola. Wash.. Dec. 19. Attorneys for the board of resents at tha state college at Pullman yesterday presented to . the supreme court a petition for mandates to compel the state treasurer and state auditor to honor orders of the board for money- In excess of the tfmount appropriateu by the last leg islature for the Institution's support. They declare that unless the petition is ranted the college will have to close own and dismiss its 1200 students. The court took the decision under ad visement. This is a new move in an old fight. President Bryan has ever contended it Is no business of the state auditor, state treasurer or in fact oi' any state officer, other than the college regents, what the college does with its private Income, such as proceeds from sales of livestock from the college farm, and the like. Bryan has said these receipts are derived chiefly from the use of the federal appropriations; Last session legislators who objected to Bryan's attitude were behind the passage of the law which requires "each state officer or other person who Is au thorised bv law to collect or receive moneys belonging to the stato or to any department or institution thereof, to transmit to the treasurer of the state each day all moneys collected by him on the preceding day." Representative George Held and other legislators stated openly that this was aimed particularly at the college authorities. After the law went into effect both university and college authorities re fused to turn over collections. They had numerous conferences with the at, torney general. State Treasurer Mills addressed a sharp letter to Governor Mead asking in effect how long the gov ernor would permit his appointive re gents to disobey the law. Finally the regents did make remittances. To Octo ber 1 thia year the college turned over $7513.82 and the university $1683.46. Recently the college regents wrote to the treasurer and auditor demanding that some of this money be paid bv the state on account of debts of the college. The treasurer and auditor relied Upon the constitutional provision that no mnnev Hhall be nftlfl out of the state treasury except on appropriations, arid refused to act. The petitions for writs J of mandate followed. CHRlSiiSlOR GOTHAM'S POOR It Will Be a Charitable as Well -as a Prosper ous Yule. (Special Dispatch ta Tha Journal. New York. Dec. 19.
