linen. Accordingly when this Is well
dried and put away in the closet the
next duty Is to secure 1t from the eft.
fects of damp and insects. These In.
truders are often destructive, but they
may be prevented from doing injury by
making the bags and filling with layen-

all cases it will be found that the linen
as well as all the other washable arti.

JACK JOHNSON IS
 LOCKED IN TOMBS
Black Pugilist Couldn't Furnish Bail IS Served With PrOcesS-His Alleged Victim Is
 Missing.

New York, March 24.-Jacll Jobn- son, heavyweight champion of the prize ring, spent five hours today in a cell in the Tombs prison. Tonight he is free again but gloomy, for not on- ly was he locked up for nearly half a day, but while dancing and singing in the prison, a process server thrust through the bars summons and complaint in suit for $1,75S67 and costs brought againf him for the alleged repudiation oi a theatrical contract to appear in Kansas. This looks like a rough deal" re- marked Johnson, as tears came to his eyes. T have come here on g court order and now they take this aetien one me- He was served" Il ;twith- standing his protests.
 Johnson appeared today, grinning as usual, on the charge of ,eating one Norman Finder, a negro, one- fourth his size, in an uptown resort some weeks ago. Finder at tie time declined to buy a drink for Johnson because he could not afford "w;ne,' which he added dolefully was all that Johnson would drink. With a remis- cent touch, he then recalled that there was time when he and Johnson were glad to drink "suds'' out of a bucket.
 Judge Is WrOth.
 The rest is contained in the charge 'of assault against the fighter. But Finder and his witnesses failed to appear to press the case today and Judge Mulqueen of the Court of Gen. eral Sessions was wroth. He was in- clined to think that the court was be- ing imposed upon.
 Despite Johnsons plea that he had hurried hither on an 1S-hour train, he raised the big blacks bail from $1,500 to $5,000. Johnson's smile van ished. Unfortunately, he said, his roll, flattened by lawyers, contained only $2,500 and would the court ae- ceDt that in cash? The court would not, so the big prize fighter was led away to cell, where he remained un- til late this afternoon, when friend put up as security property in Brook lyn valued. at $12,000 Then Johnson was let loose.
 Though no trace of Finder, his ac- cuser, had been found tonight, the case is set for 10:3O o'clock tomorrow morning.
