George Lytle, man ager for Jack Johnson, today posted with Ed Smith of thia city $5000 aa forfeit for a flrht with Jeffrlea. Jeffrlea has already posted a like aura with Robert Edgren In JNew York. Thia makes the bla match for the championship of the world seem more oi a reality man ever Derora Johnson's money will be transferred immediately to New York, where It will be placed in the hands of the aportlng editor of the Livening Journal, dgren, who holda Jeffries' money, la aportlng editor of the Kvenlng World. The only conditions set by Johnson are that Jeffries formally agree to the match and set a time and place before he sails for EuroDe. Johnson will leave Detroit Wednesday for Toronto and from there will proceed to New York, where he hopea to meet jerrrles personally in arranging xor tae flaht. The black giant, , who wbn the title of ohamplon of the world by defeating Tommy Burna in Australia last Christ mas, aeemed to think Jeffries would try to impose so many conditions that the fight would be impossible. He tried to give the Impression that he thought jerrrles would back out. When Jeffries posted hla $5000 last week, he said he meant business, and his friends have little doubt . that he waa serious. Jeffries ' made it clear that he intended to try to mako good on his promise to "win back the cham pionship for the white race. Lytle said he considered Jeffries' claim to the championship to be "all bunk." and that Jeffrlea could not af ford to be dictatorial. James O'Leary still holds Johnson's check for $10,000, which Lytle said this afternoon would stand as a side bet that the colored man would beat Jeff. ARBOR LODGE 10 E.

Washington, Aug. 2. The conference oommlttee went into session this after noon to consider proposed changes in the tariff report, not waiting for the senate to adjourn. Washington. Auk. 2. President Taft told congressmen who called on him todav that the alleged "1oker" in the leather schedule was not a joker and that the hide schedule was acreed UDon by him with Senator Aldrich and Rep resentative fayne. The Droaresslve Republicans this afternoon practically abandoned hope of recommitting or de feating the report In the senate. Washington. Aua 2. Senator Borah of Idaho has not yet convinced western hide men that they weren't buncoed in the compromise In the leather manufac tures schedules. He Is in conference with President Taft this afternoon over the matter. Borah has received a letter from Taft Insisting that his (Borah's) interpretation of the -proposed law as to hides and leather Is incorrect, but Borah remains half convinced that his fears were well grounded. Meanwnne tne conferees have been called together to go over Borah's claims as to leather and hides. The finance committee's own fle-urea Issued today, show forty one-hundredths of one per cent increase on "total ne- rnl f 1 no " nvpr til Dfnlav it,a Th, cesslties committee figured the LMn gley average was 38.37 per cent Under the confer- ence report t It was 36.8 per cent Washington, Aug. 3. It was an nounced this afternoon that the confer ence report was withdrawn in the senate In order to permit change in the leather schedule and in the paragraph relating to maximum and minimum tariff. In order to quiet rumors of a "joker" in the leather schedule, it is probable that the duty on an boots and shoes will be reduced to 10 per cent. If the bill Is returned to the house for revised action, which apparently is probable, final adjournment of congress will be postponed several days. DR.
