SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-For a
time late yesterday it appeared that
one of tie principals in the July 4 bat
tie at Reno would be missing, because
Jack Johnson refused to be arrested
for exceeding the speed limit in his
racing automobile.
Johnson told Mounted Police Patrol
man Lewis that he could arrest only
his dead body, but when Lewis with
the assistance of two other patrolmen,
battered down the door of the room
in which tie champion had locked him.

as any ordinary violator of the speed
regulations.
Johnson had been down town secur-
ing transportation for members of his
camp and was speeding for his camp
at what Lewis claims was fifty-mile
clip, when the latter attempted to
halt him. Johnson laughed derisively
at Lewis, shouting, "On your way
kid" and was lost in cloud of dust
As fast as his horse could carry him
Lewis arrived few minutes after the
champion at the training camp, where
he told Johnson that he must be more
careful of tie speed laws. johnson
then dramatically declared that an ar.
rest could be made over his dead
body, and locked himself in his
room.

for this service, permitted mosquitoes known to
be inoculated with the disease to bite him. and
as a result established the theory at the ex-
