NECESSARY TO SUCCESS Bishop Walters Expresses Confidence in President Wilson—The Industrial Savings Bank Opens its Doors—A. M. E. Church Extension Board Meets. AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL. (By P. W. Thompson, 1337 Wallach Place, N. W.) WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15—While the big leaders of the Republican party are in Chicago this week wrestling with the humble probe notofreewearization of the party, the group leaders here at the capital are doing some serious thinking on the same question as the other Republicanists, who imagine that party loyalty consists in abusing the colored Democrats and indulging in vague insults in vague sermons in will or will not do for them, the same stalwarts of the G. O. J., are united in earnest effort to bring order out of clashes and redeem Republicanism from the disaster that betell the party at the polls. The colored Democratic friends to fight on their case as best they can, and exert press satisfaction in order to move now in office—if the latter are compelled to go—rather than that high-grade places should be filled by white Democrats, and thus be lost to Candid colored Republicans are admitting that a number of breaks were made last year in the management of unnecessary blocking over who should be who, and there was a display of jealousy among the workers in the trenches. It is now contending that there was little cohesion among the chief officers of the white managers of the contest, like Chairman Hiles and his well-disposed lieutenants, to determine who was the real national leader, and to secure a leadership for any one leader to secure a national fellowing. Each of the principal office-holders stuck out party generals to the contests, and worked for the Taft and Sherman ticket according to his own notion or account, that context was the case. Now, that the issues of the past are dead—and it is to be hoped that the dissensions have followed them, the contests have been won, the Republican party is to have a chance in the campaigns of 1914 and 1916, the Negroes, as well as the white, opposing register of the treasury, and Henry Lincoln Johnson, the resourceful and indestructible recorder of deeds for the Radical Reorganization Necessary to Success. Mr. Napier, in a recent interview, takes a hospital view of the existing political situation, but, in contrast to the Negro Republicans, among the most radical lines can the party expect success in the coming campaign, and only through drastic reforms can the party achieve success. The same serves can they regain prestige and influence in the party councils they enjoyed several years ago. Among other plain statements on the subject, Mr. Napier "The Negro Republicans have fallen upon evil days; but their case is not the same as the cases with the party ranks must be our first consideration. Before attempting to move the enemy into our hands, we must condition to fight effectively. Unnecessary dissensions must be put止. Harmony must be the key word, and should be the outset of the stand should be to shoulder in support of the party which we claim as our own, the emblem of our party, in command, the professional grafter must be eliminated from our ranks. Money is essential to party organization, and the party is expended only for the actual necessities of the campaign. The man who must be paid little to the cause rather than a help, and he should receive no encouragement, the managers, some of them have been given the ballot at the cost of lives, and their vote on election day until somebody pays them to exercise their sacred privilege. A race that stands and wins, we must admit, has decent citizens. We cannot expect honorable recognition in the councils of the government, along with members of Congress, to vote on our behalf, and the captains of commerce if we uphold our corrupt practices; nor can we have a position among our brethren, if we asked for and accepted pay in advance for all the services we claim to have "The Negro can 'come back' in the postwar world, but he must come back" because he lacks aid at his door. Those who are not guilty cannot afford to be counted in with those who have seen the boys say. We must as well face the situation frankly, the time for action comes, the level of demands and the boys say. We services to the party managers, as of now, but they should be extremely modest in their demands. Money they have to decorate the hour of victory, either in the way of office or legislation. "In the meantime let us attend to our skiliness," and stop abusing the men who oppose us, way to take a course, in its openness. We will have our hands full later on, trying to set our house in order and plugging, up the holes, Governor Holley and others are amusing, also reorganizing the white Republican house, behooves us to be doing some house-building, hope to have a place of honor in the battalion that is being shaped up for the future. It cannot be denied that Mr. Napier here given the Negroes of both parties think about to their advantage early and MAY 17 1913 PUBLIC LIBRARY often. If the Negro is to "come back," he must be the far-searing son of Tennessee so graphically describes. No one can gainayse the timeliness of his plain speech. It is the warning note of a real leader. Bishop Walters Not Discouraged. Bishop Alexander Walters, the titular bishop of the city, has been in the city this week, conferring with Secretary of State W. J. Bryan and his wife, Katherine, and Adoo. It is intimated that "something will happen soon," and that the result will be pleasant, what he called the national Negro Democratic League is unconfirmed. Bishop Walters is a born impatient number of persons. The Bishop entered a spirited denial of the report that he is "without hope," and the rumor that he is "without hope" is not what he meant to be "discouraged." He expressed implicit confidence in President Wilson and is of the opinion that all will be well informed about the question is reached by the administration. Mme. Hackley Captivates All Washington. During the past year, Mme. Hackley has visited scores of schools in the South, and together with her private recitals, she has appeared before or given instruction to over 62,000 persons—a wonderful showing for a single year of experience. Of course, Mme. Hackley is absolutely sincere in her desire to advance her people in the higher education of the French music and she counts no effort too great if she can do good thereby to her race. She is succeeding, because she is the most successful of the concert stage, she hopes to retire and devote the remainder of her life to teaching music, the process of the development of a memorial conservatory, as a monument to her revered mother. Mme. Hackley sang with her friends has since gone to her home in Philadelphia. The concert in this city was under the capable direction of her teacher does things by halves. A goodly sum was realized. Notes. The thirty-ninth annual session of the New England Baptist Mission Society, 1950, was held at the Omopolitan Baptist church, June 12 to 16. The New England Baptist Sunday School was held on the same church on the 10th, and the Woman's Auxiliary will assemble on the --- The salary of the comptroller of the currency is now $5,000 per annum, instead of $6,000, which would increase the comproller to $5,000, and an additional comproller bursing officer of the Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company, for the purpose of taking care of the civil war by Cooper, Gen. O. O. Howard and other northern philanthropists, for the purpose of taking care of the South and to inculcate habits of thrift. The company was closed in 1874, through bad loans, and the United States paid $400 per person with the comptroller of the currency as custodian of the funds. The business was closed up recently, and the custodian's job was completed together. This is a bit of local history not generally ykwn, and the new comptroller-that-is-to-be may be surprised to find that the United States salary when he receives his first check. James J.

Smith, a mission for assistance are still in the process of expecting results at an early date, as there are positive vacancies in the positions they are seeking. The Industrial Savings Bank, with John W. Lewis as president, opened its doors for business in 1911 and has taken and is paid up. The place is equipped in first-class style and already enough business is done to guarantee a business of the highest book is regarded so good that another bank may be organized soon, to handle a different line of investments. If this plan may be successful, the manager may be persuaded to become its chief executive at the close of his term in the Treasury Department. The local Negro Business League is getting ready for the August conference of the National Negro Business League, which meets this year in Philadelphia. Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Carlis have issued cards to the exhibition of their silver currency, to take place at their statewide, next Monday evening. Prof. Kelly Miller delivered a fine address at Howard University Monday evening on "Fruits of Fifty Years of Freedom." Frederick J. Haskin, the celebrated syndicate member of the Saturday's Evening Star, described the struggles of *Engro* women to ele- vate themselves in the scale of civilization, and telling many interesting things of the leading organizations of colored America. Mr. Hamilton mail has been heavy all this week with earnest congratulations from members of the Negro race, who are grateful that a new law has been passed. Mr. Hamilton is much good in a people who receive little recognition usually at the hands of the local press.

WASHINGTON SPEAKS BEFORE THE FOURTH AMERICAN PEACE CONGRESS. The Peerless Race Leader Makes a Forcible Plea in Behalf of his Race, and Takes an Optimistic View of Conditions as they confront the Negro. ST. LOUIS, Mo. May 3.—Among the speakers at the Fourth American Peace Conference in Washington, Congressman Richard Barthelm, Former Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks and Booker T. Washington's address, in part, was as follows: The schools and colleges have a great opportunity to make themselves against what between nations. World peace will come largely in a day, in fact, the most lasting and fundamental things are of slow nature. Now many living can remember the time when in this country it was thought to be not disapproved by a business man to be known as a common drunkard, but can be applied to make the individual today who is known to drink to excess is excluded from business and public office in a very large measure. It was once true in this country when the man who carried one or two pistols to the street was looked upon as a brave man. Through education of public sentiment such a man was brought upon as a coward and a courageous soldier. It is a good deal with a nation as it is with an individual. When it once gets started in the wrong direction, it is not good. Great Britain has increased its expenditures on its navy from $174,000,000 to $234,000,000. It has increased its expenditures on the air force from $174,000,000 to $234,000,000. The United States from $80,000,000 to $132,000,000. Few same men will dare question whether or not it would have been wiser to save the lives of the people instead of investing it in iron and lead, which would have been the mark of those nations. A shot from one cannon can destroy in a single moment that which it has required years to create. In analysis, the carrying of a pistol or gun on one's person or keeping them in his home does not protect an individual. I should be ashamed to have been forced to take the safety of my life upon the use of lead and powder. The greatest protection that an individual can have is in his service to the community and the same is true of his Not many months ago I was in Den- FORT WORTH, TEXAS CENTRALIA. ILL.. NEWS.

Urges Negroes to Stay on the Farm—Cultivate Friendly Relations With White Neighbors—Major Motion Leads State Successful Tour of Tidewater Virginia. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., May 9. —Starting from Hampton Institute, Tuesday morning, under the general direction of the Moton, commandant of Hampton Institute, Mr. Moton, and theington, the world-renowned principal of Tuskegee Institute, began a four days' tour through "Tidewater Virginia." His tour included the Northhampton, Accomac, Mathews and Gloucester counties, the territory lying along the eastern shore of Virginia, where colored people are successful engendering a culture that would be the richest soil in the Old Dominion. The trip was made by Dr. Washington with a view to arousing the colored people of the industry and to encourage them to stay on the farm; to cultivate the friendship or the white people of their neighborhood to the farmer, honesty and reliability, to create a more cordial and sympathetic relation between black man and white man. In his races, Dr. Washington emphasized the importance of the land owning, of having a bank account and of the participation of the commercial Life of the state and nation. "Little charity is no wextended us," said Dr. Washington. "We are called loudest people in the land in open competition, and it will require our best efforts, our best energies and our highest intelligence to make good music." The various audiences欢呼 Major Moton's "folk songs" were enjoyable features of all the meetings, and the colored people in the various audiences欢呼 Major Moton's "folk songs." Besides Major Moton, Dr. Washington was accompanied on his journey by a group of students including P. B. Young, editor of the Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va.; Rev. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus, Va., an dothers, who led the group. Tuesday morning Dr. Washington spoke at Hare Valley, at Cherry Stone in the afternoon and Boston, stopping over the night at Cherry Stone, spending the night at Cherry Stone. On Wednesday he addressed large audiences at Tasley and Boston, stopping over the night at Cherry Stone, a schedule called for Mathew's court house at noon. Friday morning he spoke at Gloucester court house, followed in the afternoon a speech at the Gloucester School. The tour was in every way a gratifying success and the members of the party are proud of it. The tour was complied by this timely visitation on the part of the race's "peerless leader." Similar tours have been made with gratifying success. The tour,ippi, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Florida, North and South Carolina, has just concluded a trilennial survey of Pacific Sea, carrying the message that Tuskegee Institute is aiming to impress upon the people through manifold material acquisition and moral worth. THE MOST USEFUL AMERICANS A Referendum of Independent Readers are on the ground in the Conserving of the Contemporary NEW YORK—The New York Independent in its issue of this week May 1, publishes the result of a referendum of Independent readers on the most useful and interesting things which has appeared in this most valuable journal. In its issue of January 30, the editors of the Independent to their readers, the following question: Who Are the Most Useful Americans? If life insurance coul'd really insure against loss of life on whole lives should the American people best afford to pay for it? How should they pay, who, among our contemporaries are of most value to the community, whose highest people should difficult it? If Congress should decide to award prizes to the most deserving men and women in the country and leave the choice to populate the country, of which should get the largest number votes? The Independent states that when the returns came in in the editors found that women in the editors housed names to count and that 343 per cent should be considered worthy of the honor of being included in the list of the ten most valuable colleges, most interesting thing about the poll is that the only colored man who was a member of the University of Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, at Tuskegee, Ala., who received 326 votes; including the vote of Washington, the poll shows the following. Thomas A. Edison . . . 898 Jane Addams . . . 611 James G. McGee . . . 611 Theodore Roosevelt . . . 514 Helen Gould Shepard . . . 474 Alexis Carroll . . . 470 Bernice B. Williams . . . 470 William J. Bryan . . . 458 Woodrow Wilson . . . 427 Ruther Burden . . . 427 Washington . . . 326 The editorial comments of the editors of the Independent in this discussion of the work "Justice," referring to the Nero Warriors follows. Highest in the class of educators comes Dr. Booker T. Washington, but of those who include his name in their lists not so much as in the following ten of vocational training at Tuskegee Institute as his services to his race as a warrior, following in America: "The inspiration 000.000." "The evangel of peace in the South"; "Doing for the South what Jane Addams is doing in America; we need to do in America; the race, leading them up from slavery through the desert and into the promised land"; "Race pacificator and educational opportunist"; "Solving the second hardest case in the world"; "Because of his efforts for the promotion of a better understanding between the whole article is most illuminating and should be carefully read by the readers of our various colored newspapers."

At any rate Charles A. Bookwalter for mayor is no mean candidate. Our Thomas R. Marshall, Vice- President, is reaping a fair share of distinction; thank you. Some babies are being named after him. If we can get along without making an enemy out of Japan we ought to do so. Japan would make our very meanest enemy owing to its situation, ambition and preparedd- ness. It is not pleasant to think of the "big stick" in affairs of state, but we just can't help thinking that if Roosevelt and his "big stick" was on duty in Washington, California wouldn't have nerve to do what it is doing. The colonel had some good points. Some talk of getting together by the Republicans and the Progressives. And why not? There is no difference between them. They just got mad and are now ashamed to give in. They are like lovers who quarrel. There's got to be some humbling. Who's going to do it? Something doing in the mayoralty line. Bell and Holtzman are having it out on the Democratic side. Charles A. bookwatcher seems to have things prettier much his own way among the Republicans, and W. K. Stewart is leading with the Progressives. A three cornered fight is assured, which is not all assuring to Republican hopes. Talk all you will, when its done the case of Jack Johnson is merely one of persecution. If guilty of the charge he is technically so. The law was meant to protect young women, the innocent, young or old, we take the liberty to say, and not a dragnet affair, picking up the unexpected. The law could as easily have been twisted in the interest of Johnson's liberty. All of this bias business will break on the nation's "head" some of these days if we don't watch out. Very evidently California is bent on slapping the little brown man of Japan. This in face of the fact that the number of Japanese in California is decreasing yearly. It is said that their property holding is not large; nor is their progress in the way of securing property alarming. Wages are satisfactory, it is said, and with work for all. The state apparently wishes to assent its supremacy in all matters within the state regardless of the supposed supervision of the federal government. Bishop Alexander Walters is be coming more accustomed to his new job as the "titular" head of the Negro contingent of the Democratic party. He is fitting in better with his duties, speaking in that big general way which statesmen and politicians find so expedient. Recently he was in Washington conferring with Sect retary Bryan and other Democratic leaders. He expressed himself as having implicit confidence in President Wilson, saying all will be well when the race question is reached by the administration—a very proper stand to take. A picture entitled "To the Highest Bidder," was recently rejected by the Brooklyn Institute because it was thought that it might tend to keep alive a spirit that would be best dead. The picture represented a Negro slave woman standing with her child on the auction block. We quite agree with the sentiment expressed. Emancipation days will never be enthusiastic successes owing to the very thing suggested in the opposition to this picture. No enlightened people care to call up a panorama of an ugly past, to reflect with him, with pleasure, on an antecedent that contributes nothing to their worth. We think the institute was right in cutting out the picture. After all it does not seem tha Senator Michael Orestes succeeded to the Haitian presidency without considerable revolutionary display. A report has it that: "The disorder began during the funeral services of Gen. Auguste at the cathedral. Several fusilades were fired in different parts of the town and a panic ensued among the great assemblage in the church. Many women and children were trampled upon and seriously injured in the rush to escape from the cathedral." Nothing of a decided nature took place, consequently the succession was set down as peaceful. It takes some unusual commotion in that country before it counts. The Young white man, VonBehren, was very fortunate in view of his deeds. He shot down three Negro work men in his father's factory at Evansville, Ind., a short time ago, one after another without seeming provocation. The happening was so unusual that we thought the young man insane, at least temporarily. We thought he would be freed on the plea. The plea was not urged. He pleaded guilty, receiving a sentence of from two twenty-one years. So far as punishment goes, if we are not to think of capital punishment, his sentence and swears the purpose. The young man is of rich parentage and was of good standing. Money he may yet have when he comes from prison, but not standing. Society is protected—the bent of a sentence of imprisonment. But as crime and punishment is popularly viewed, he got off extremely light for killing three men. Allen Garnett, the very efficient messenger to Mayor Shank, has been doing service to the mayor under the name of janitor, since there was no provision made for him being more than a janitor. Recently the city council created the place of messenger to the mayor, the object being to have Garnett fill the position with its $60 per month pay. Now it turns out that the council merely created the place. It did not say who should appoint Garnett or who should pay him. His friends are congratulating him right along, all of which is very embarrassing to Mr. Garnett, because he has the power he has nothing over which to make a fuss. He is perfectly willing to accept the job, but no one has the power to give it to him. He is not begrudged the position, seemingly. Everyone so far as it is known, wants him to have it. His situation is the same as a bill voted on in the legislature without an enacting clause. It is thought relief will come to him in the near future. In the meanwhile he is simply up in the air. JACK JOHNSON'S CASE Perhaps it will not be prudent to express ourselves thoroughly on the Jack Johnson decision at this time. He, more than likely, will have a rehearing, the outsome of which is so important that not a word should be said that would tend to prejudice that outcome. Nevertheless we feel very much like saying that the cards have been stacked against Johnson just as surely as a game of roulette with its "infinity" to one. Now without passion let us reason a bit. In our mixed civil society with its strata of race varieties who are jealous of their standing there will always be more or less prejudice. This prejudice is not nearly so manifest between white races as it is between the Negroes and the white race as a whole. The Japanese of California are coming in for that peculiar prejudice that the Negroes know so well. In that state the white Californians insist that the Japanese must be hit. The Negroes have always hit and everywhere, much of which has not been supported by public sentiment. We have but little to say against official activities, courts' decisions and so forth, that find it necessary to conform somewhat to that sentiment. Sentiment against social equality and some phases of civil equality as between the white people and the colored people is more or less acute. Very much caution is necessary at times in order to steer through the rough places of our social and civil life. In other words, racial strife is ever on, manifesting itself more at times that at other times. Happily enough we have not seen it necessary to think of violence in any form, due as much to the Negro docile nature and to their breadth of understanding as to the tact of the white race. Thanks are also due to the white man's disposition, who holds the key to our prosperity in his hands; he has not seen fit to gripe to us death, a thing he could do if he were of that mind. This from the standpoint of races which unfortunately is the way we have to look at things very often. As citizens the Negroes are without a square deal. Very often the white people go out of their way to be offensive. This is not citizen like. We know conditions, and are governed by them by the laws and not necessary to mast the white race against the Negroes as has been the systematic effort as noted in the Johnson trouble. The pugilist as a citizen has not been given a square deal. As a Negro, a member of a despised race, he has been meted out a terrible punishment for daring to exceed what is considered a Negro's circle of activities. The white judge, the white jurors, the white people who were necessarily against Johnson according to their sentiment could well have afforded to sacrifice a bit, to compromise in the interest of the Negro millions who also have some race pride. If they have none, surrendering all idealism to another people then they are an undesirable people in the sense of quality. Jack Johnson violated public sentiment in marrying a white woman. As a mischief maker perhaps he needed rebuking of some sort. The Negroes have again and again declared that they were not in sympathy with this woman as a child, and reasonably said. To have said more would have had the effect of repudiating every man, woman and child of the race as unfit to associate with any man, woman or child of the white race. This in the face of our Christianity, our God, setting up color races above goodness, virtue. If we are not to think of the situation in such an abstract way, then we tus think of the possibility of the judge and jury under the circumstances—what they could have done without violating known sentiment. In the first place it is impossible to find many, if any, white men in this country who will stand for the intermarriage of the races. Very many do not violently oppose it, but when the question is brought home to them, any one of them, for a yes or no vote, we know what to expect. We mean to say that the judge's "threat" was but very little the sentiment against him publicly expressed—no more than that which is entertained against the rich by the poor. An agitator can inflame the poor against Rockefeller in "little or no time." Diplomacy of the leaders keep the feeling in abeyance, and all goes well with the country as marriage bells. The same law that was turned and twisted to entangle Johnson could have been turned and twisted to have saved him. Those concerned know very well, we take the liberty to say that the law was not meant for certain conditions of society. It technically goes against Johnson; it could have technically saved him. We are not thoroughly acquainted with the Mann White Slave Law, but think of as we know it, that it it seeks to put a stop to the traffic in girls and women—sending them here and there over THE FREEMAN.

When another class is thus dealt with, and then another, these in the end will forget all about petty prejudices, seeing the courts simply as engines of injustice, catering to sentiment; thus in the end logically demanding the recall of judges and those other brakes that the people can apply when they get ready to do so.

Some of the reasons why novelty acts are so scarce are: To have a novelty act it must be a success, and after you get the aquapurit it takes a great deal of money and time keeping it in repair and buying new apparel and after you get the aquapurit as and as nearly all novelty acts use apparatus of some kind. After the performer gets the apparel and time to learn his act, not days but months and sometimes years to master some parts of an act, and most novelty acts are performed with the physical strength and skill and that is the part the average performer is not looking for. Colored performers are awful scarce that have the patience and nerve to learn an act that requires an extra amount of time and effort to perform the act, especially among the female sex. After the performer gets a novelty act and has spent a lot of money and time doing it, the performer wants to pay any more for the act than he does for an ordinary song and dance act. When the act plays the colored vaudeville house where the average acts play from three to six weeks, a lot of money is spent at the longest, and then the act will have to change the routine of work the second week; which is an awful hard thing to do. I have had performers say to me, what’s the use of having a novice act when you want to have a big show? IATUS,ratus, a couple of years to learn the act, practice continually to keep the average act in a house more than two weeks, and can hardly get any better salary than the average act, but the acting act and won’t have anything to buy but a few songs and a joke book at the ten cent store, learn an act in a couple’s house, the act and stay in a house for weeks. These are some of my views why there are not more colorful acts. HENRY WOODEN. CHAS. GEYER'S MASTODON MIN STRELS. (By Jasper Taylor.) CONTINUOUS TOUR OF PROF.

MCGOWITA Big Black Goes on Trial at Chicago, Charged in Nine Indictments With Violating Anti-White Slave Act—Women Crowd Court When Case Opens. PHILAQO—Women made up half the court that fought for admittance to federal court, when Jack Johnson, black pugilist, went on trial in the court in a fight involving in nine indictments with violating the Mann anti-white slave act. An hour before the case was called the corridors of the courthouse struggled crowd that forced its way toward Judge Carpenter's courtroom. Six deputy judges pressed the presence of a judge against the bailiffs. Six hour before court was opened every seat was taken and the doors were closed. Belle Schreiber, former manicure girl, accused of having carried with him on his theatrical and fight tours for immoral purposes today from a hotel, where she had been hidden by federal authorities, who feared that Johnson's friends might persecute her. TRUMP CARD. The Schreiber girl's testimony is to be the government's trump card in the prosecution months, the girl was found in Washington. She was taken to Baltimore by the federal authorities, who given work by her in the police station. In the meantime she was closely guarded. Oscar Pignucci, special white officer before the trial, took work diction brought the girl to Chicago. Benjamin Bachrach, Johnson's attorney, said he would every effort to prevent Johnson's white wife, formerly Lucile Cameron, of the crime from coming to Washington. "I am afraid I should prejudice the jury against Johnson," he said. The jurors might be the wife ifantamed. BROTHER IN COURT Mrs. Johnson, the negro's mother, is seventy-nine and feeble and will probably be dead in the next few sessions. None of Johnson's female relatives were in court when the traitors committed the murders. Johnson only by his older brother and a few personal friends. Comparatively few big crowds attended the murder, and a crowd of Johnson's dusky friends were in the corridors and were kept millimeters away. Bacchacr will ask that all the counts in the indictments be consolidated in one chapter and the judge will hear him. He said he would be anxious to have the case over. WOULD LEAVE COUNTRY. "If Jack goes free, he will leave the United States at once," announced the attorney. "Bacchacr would not say, it is understood that the pardon intends to go to Paris to make him free. Harry Ackr Perkins, special assistant district attorney, is directing the prosecution for the government, and agreed to ask the court to exclude from the room during the trial all persons excepting newspaper men, court attaches, witnesses and personal documents. Harry Ackr Perkins, and those obtaining special cards from the district attorney's office, and those obtaining special cards from the district attorney's office, and that in booking centrenes he would ask each prospective juror whether he has any prejudice against him, and whether or not he is opposed to intermarriage of blacks and whites. Bacchacr will attempt to prove prejudice based on any of these reasons is grounds for a challenge for cause. If the court so requests, it will probably be conducted in getting a jury. Present Status of Champ Johnson—Charge of "White Stalking"—Pressed (By Billy Lewis.) $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. JOHNSON SAYS JEFF IS BACK OF TROUBLE. CHICAGO—Jacob Johnson's complaint that admirers of the conquered James J. Reno battle; that the smugging cases, the "white slave" indictments and all of the other trouble he has fallen he to, was the admirer who, as the white champion, was brought into federal court when the trial of the black pagulist on the "white slave" charges was re-trialed. "Were you an admirer of Jeffries?" was the question put to each venturer by Bashrach Bachrach, attorney for the big negro. Bashrach questioned the venomizer who was accused against prize fighters, if he ever had been connected with a reform organist or intermarriage of priests, if he was opposed to intermarriage of whites, if he had any prejudice against colored men, and questions concerning his politics, his religion and his birthplace. It was the evident intention of John Attorney to exclude from jury a punishment Appellant he preferred Republicans to Democrats. John came into court today, arrested and questioned by the judge, and accounted the huge bulk of the fighter and he looked the size of a whale. Bale Schreiber, white manicurist and former attorney, Johnson is accused of having carried with him for immoral purposes, was not in seclusion at a loop hotel, ready to take the stand at the opening of the case. The recovered assistant district attorney Parks tentatively accepted twelve venirenames, after excluding one, J. E. Johnson, who admitted bias. A. Gifford, Elgin, IL, was one of the venirenames challenged by Bashrach and excused by the court for excess surrounding the suicide of Etta Durra Johnson, the negro's first white wife, who shot her husband because she was an admirer of the venirenames his influence in the jury room. The big negro evidently was in much better spirits. He freezed from the pain when passing on veniremen and nudged them when the answers of the prospective jurors struck him as humorous. During a lull in the proceedings John sent a message to the newspaper man. He said he was afraid be "might be getting in bud with the public." ting in pud with "All I want is a fair show," he said. GET THE JOHNSON JURY. Lawyers in Case of Pugilist Complete Panel and Take Adjournment. A jury to try Jack Johnson, negero champion pugilist, on charges of violation of the Marn white slave act, was completed in Federal Judge Carpenters court.

Curious Barred From Court. Scandal fans were barred by Judge Carpenter. The step was taken by the civil eviction would begin. A crowd of would-be spectators which filled the halls long before court opened was driven away by bullets. When court convened, and it was learned that only hal fa dozen personal friends of Johnson, newspaper men and the attorney, admitted court gradually thinned out. Bachrach Asks An Inquiry. The moment court convened Benjamin C. Bachrach, attorney for the fighter, went before Judge Carpenter and demanded that the court be adjudicated by the court whether and now had been approached by accent of Johnson in respect to their attitude toward the defense SPRUDELS WIN OUT Moran feinted with his confidence He said that he based his request on a published article intimating an attempt had been made to influence some of the prospective jurymen. Judge Carpenter told Mr. Bachrach that there was no necessity of questioning the vitreonem on that point. Belle Schreiber May Take Stand. Belle Schreiber, the government's chief investigator, was expected to take the stand and testify against the negro prize fighter. It is in connection with Johnson's allegations that the Pittsburgh indictments for which he is now on trial were returned against the fighter. He is said to have transcribed the verdict to Chicago for imperial purposes. A PITTSBURGH RESORT OWNER TELLS OF BELLE SCHREIBER'S STAY IN HER PLACE. IS FORCED TO DRIVE HER OUT Court Bars Witness' Statement That Inmate's Friendship for Pugilist Caused Her Ouster. Chicago Special. Incidents in the life of Telle Schreiber, an inmate known as she, as she has been known in Pittsburgh, where she met Jack Johnson, Negro pugilist, were told in Federal Judge Carpenter's court by the woman imprisoned on a charge of violating or Johnson on a charge of violating, the Mann act by transporting the Schreiber woman from one State to another for immoral purposes. In 1910, she was convicted, Henderson, alias Painter, proprietor of a disorderly resort at 225 Second avenue, Pittsburgh. She told how the Schreiber woman in 1910 and how she was finally compelled to out her on account of her friendship for Johnson. "She came there in March, 1910," said the witness, "and she left in the middle of the following October." **Sent Schreiber woman Away.** "She her away did not you?" asked Attorney Benjamin C. Bachrach, on cross-examination. "Yes I did." On court examination Assistant District Attorney Parkin attempted to show that she was sent away because of her relations with Johnson, but the questions were not answered and the objections being sustained by Judge Carpenter, the evidence did not get into the record. The Henderson woman was then dismissed from the witness testimony. John E. Lewis, a real estate clerk engaged in renting and collecting rent on the property, was agent for the apartments formerly known as the "Ridgewood" at East 28th street and South Wabash avenue, in the building in the fall of 1909. The witness said he was unable to state positively whether there were any disorders in the building and Bertha Morrison, an occupant of one of the apartments, was questioned. **Says She Saw Johnson There.** The Morrison woman testified she had a disorderly flat there in 1909 and 1910. "Did you ever see Johnson in the building," asked Attorney Parkin. "Yes. Two or three times I saw him enter suite 425, occupied by Belle Schreel-buil, saw him offender than that in the John O'Hallaran, jolleman, a booken of resort women, testified that a large number of them, Ridgewood apartments, were disorderly. Exclude the Curious. The strict censorship on admittance to the court room started, esteemed by the judge, Hilliard stopped Johnson at the door o f the court room and he picked out half a dozen of his lawyers. These men, the witnesses, the lawyers in the case, the court attaches and newspaper men were the onl persons admitted. Johnson, during the trial, has not been charged with hitherto characterized his dress. Today he was attired in a blue seree suit, black trousers, a white shirt and absence of the flash of diamonds on stckpin or, of diamond rings. The "golden smile" which has no long been associated with feature was not so apparent today. JACK JOHNSON'S ATTORNEY ARGUES AGAINST MANN ACT Declares Law Unconstitutional as Applied to Case of Black Pugilist, Appealed to Court The Mann act against trafficking in women was declared inapplicable as it relates to immorality and immigrantism, yesterday. Attorney Benjamin Bachrach, counsel for the black prize fighter, charged with transporting Seth Schwartz, a former British intelligence officer to Chicago, for immoral purposes, contended the act was designed to be effective only where a question of interstate commerce is involved. The Carpenter contested the assertions of the defense, but deferred ruling on the question until next week. The court ruled that the defendant during which time the jury was excused. Attorney Bachrach also argued that every count in the indictment is faulty, and that the defendant, cried, and congress has no authority to regulate something which is not commercial in interstate commerce. The government's chief witness against the Negro, testified she had been given money by Johnson to open a flat at Wabash avenue in Chicago, she said. Johnson paid for the furniture. BELLE SCHREIBER SWEARS SHE RECEIVED MONEY IN PITTS. BURGH FOR FARE TO CHICAGO. "Jack" Johnson played his two "trump" cards to have his case taken from the jury last week. He lost. His attorney, Michael Brennan, accused the Judge Carpenter refused to stop the trial on his case of the Mammot and Judge Carpenter trying to try the case before Judge Carpenter on the ground that the alleged crime of which the judge is accused of is his jurisdiction. The court overruled this objection. Belle Schreiber, chief witness for the government, at one time tried to frighten the judge, framed photograph, signed to "sweetheart Belle, from Papa Jack," was introduced as evidence. The witness assured it had been given her by the fighter. The witness also declared she gave money to Johnson. Johnson then referred the different cities in which they traveled together. "Woman Is Cross-Examined." The government finished direct examination last this afternoon. Cross-examination was signed in an effort to shake her testimony. It was the second attempt of Johnson's attorneys to prove the unconstitutionality of the Mann act. The first occurred several months ago before the Supreme Court ruled in his attack Attorney Bachrach, rep- In his attock Attorney Bachrach, representing Johnson, said: "The Mann act is most particularly to prevent the traffic in women and is aimed at debating the rights of girls to girls, cannot however, interfere with the personal liberties of citizens and be constitutional. "Denies Power of Congress. "Congress has no authority to make something not commercial a matter of interstate commerce, but that the counts in the three indictments against Johnson charge acts that cannot be offenses against the federal government. "It is asked to bar any testimony setting forth acts of the defendant that do not show that he violated the law. The defendant he would have had to aid in some way in the transportation of one or more women from state to state for his commercial gain through the immorality of the woman or women." DEESON, MISS.
