JOHNSON IS INDICTED.
Negro Pugilist Must Answer for As
sault in Second Degree.

New York, Feb 2-The grand jury
has handed down an indictment against
Jack" Johnson, champion heavy
weight pugilist of the world, charging
him with assault in the second degree.
The latest of the pugilist's troubles IS
due to the complaint of Norman Pinder,
who alleges that Johnson assaulted and
beat him in a saloon in West Thirty
fifth street about two weeks ago. John
son was arrested at the time but he
readily secured bail and was released
on 81 900 bond.
Pinder also is a negro and swore that
as he was drinking in a saloon with
two friends Johnson came in. Though
they knew each other, Pinder said he
did not buy Johnson a drink because
the fighter was drinking wine.
That's the only stuff drink" John
son said.
Pinder says he replied that he knew
the time when Johnson would be glad
to drink beer. A fight followed in
which tables were upset and when all
as though he had been through a
threshing machine, and he caused the
arrest of Johnson. When the indict-
ment was handed down, Johnson's at
torney said he'd have Johnson appear
in general sessions court tomorrow
morning. The news of Johnson's in
dictment spread with great rapidity
and there was much speculation as 10
the outcome. Many of the sports WON
dered whether the big fight" would be
interfered with. In the event of his
conviction it might mean he could not
begin training for his fight with JEFF
fries in San Francisco, which is to take
place on July 4. and therefore could not
be in condition

TWENTY CLERKS STRIKE
The Cook County Treasurer's Office
Tied Up-Want More Pay.

Chicago. Feb 2.-The county treas
Crer's office was tied up last night by
a strike of 20 clerks who refused to
work overtime unless the board of
county commissioners grants their de-
mand for an increase in pay for night,
Sunday and holiday work.
The striking clerks are members of
the Cook County Clerical Employees
association, which has been organized
with a view to aff1liation with the Chi
cago Federation of Labor.
1t is said that the so clerks of the
union who are employed in the treas
urer's office will refuse to work to-
night.
County Treasurer John R. Thompson
admitted the strike would cause delay
in making up the books of his office.
Il can do nothing for the men, he
said. 1.-The county board refused to
give them an increase and made its
annual appropriation fixing the sum
that should be paid for overtime work"
The clerks receive from 800 to $3.50
a month as salary for the regular work,
and say they have not had an increase
for years, though the cost of living has
increased 40 per cent.

HAIR REMOVERS
ARE DANGEROUS
Physicians Say: Don't Use Poisonous
Depilatories'

The eXtravagant claims recently made
by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers of hair
unquestionably justify physicians in eau
tionlng the public against the of this
class of depilatories. How many people
have been enUced into using these dan
gerous preparations, with consequent in
jury to themselves, cannot be estimated
but only guessed at.
The preparations above referred to are
invariably in the form of creamy pastes,
which are to be spread upon the skin
Sulphide of Barium, an insoluble chemical,
which cannot be dissolved; therefore,
cannot be absorbed by the skin. The very
compounds on the skin until they dry and
cake and then lift off with a knife is
proof positive that they are not absorbed.
If they are, why do they still remain on
the skin? The most they can possibly dc
is to remove the surface hair, which in
consequence will reappear stronger and
thicker after each removal.
There is only one logical and scientific
way to remove hair, and that is by means
of liquid containing soluble ingredients
which can be absorbed by the skin. De
Miracle. known all the world over as the
only real superfluous hair remover. is
just such preparation. 1t is easily and
quickly absorbed and after you have used
it you will note there is nothing left on
the skin. 1t leaves the skin free from
irritation, and what is more to the point
it is absolutely nOn-pOiSonouS; therefore,
it will not produce eczema or blood poison
ing. Remember, no matter what claims
are made to the contrary, no poisonous
pasty compound or other worthless con-
coction can reach the hair root, and we
can prove it.
Beware of the fake free advertisers and
others. Don't be deceived by them. Better
take doctors advice. De Miracle is sold
by Mills Dry Goods Co and Warren NJ
Crosby Co. We will send you 52-page
booklet containing full information con-
corning this remarkable treatment, as
well as testimonials of prominent ply
sicians. surgeons, dermatologists medical

should read this booklet before you try
anything. Write to the De Miracle Chem
