The Kansas cowboy, now the Idol of the fight world, urrlved In this city at 11 o'clock this morning to fill his engage ment at the National Athletic Club to night. He came unheralded. But that was designed. Experiences in Washing ton and Baltimore had taught Tom Jones, manager for the new champion, that tho flght-lovlng populace were not at all par ticular as to the manner In which they handled a world hero. In fact, while In Baltimore Jess Wll lard barely escaped with a whole skin, and some of that was exposed to public gaze. The crowds did not seem to mind, Just so they sot some kind of souvenir, whether It was a piece of the fighter's trousers or not. At about noon today, Wlllard ventured his massive head and still more massive body outside his hotel. He wanted a new hat, and of course he wan(ed to get It In Philadelphia. So he thought Just tho short distance across the street to Stet son's would not be too long a Journey for a poor, unprotected hero. But he found out differently. Somebody whis pered Wtllard's name, and by the time he had made his purchase and had adorned himself with a new headpiece, Chestnut street was blocked by a mass of scram bling humanity. There was not a chance. Wlllard, cham pion fighter of the world though he Is, could not have made the trip back to his hotel alone. Mounted police had to charge the crowd on the sidewalk and make way for the fighter.

"The opponents of the act of 1913 Bhould stipulate definitely their objections to that measure, and If their objections would not emasculate tho act entirely, there Is no doubt In my mind that their suggestions would be received in a conciliatory spirit by the advocates of the measure nnd given every consideration," said Dr, Zleg ler. Instant conference by both aides and agreement upon a bill which will be en forceable and which will give Philadel phia a housing code of the most advanced nature was urged by the Governor.
