New York. March 23.-Jack John

pugilist, put up a losing fight in gen
eral sessions court here today.
Appearing to answer the charge of
a fellow member of the African race,
Norman Pinder, who accuses Johnson
/ of beating him. the big pugilist found
! himself the object of the courts dis

failed to appear. Judge Mulqueen de-
clared the non-appearance of Pinder
and the other witnesses convinced him
that the court was being trif1ed with
and forthwith raised Johnsons bail
from $1,000 to $4,000, committing him
to the tombs until he raised the larger
amount. johnson at first smilIngly,
then almost tearfuIly, pleaded his case
with the court.

Although he declared he had not

who ordered Johnson removed, caused
bench warrants to be issued for Pinder
and the other witnesses and an

looking for Pinder for the last week
The big pugiltst had been under 81, 500

Judge Urmy Imposed a Fine of
Ten Dollars.
BEST WAS HIS VICTIM.
Harris and Black Pals Beat
Him With Stick.
Is Dragged From Car, Kicked

His life saved by two white men

conductor for the Topeka Street Rail-
way company, told in police court
Tuesday after noon how he had been
first called an obscene name by George
Harris. a negro. and later attacked by
several negroes. dragged from his car
and almost killed. Harris and his
wife, Mabel Harris. were each fined
$40 by Police Judge Urmy.
To a casual observer it seems that
the charge should have been assault
with intent to kill rather than assault
and battery. Evidence showed that
the blacks had beaten Best on the
head with heavy stick, such as con-
ductors use III changing the signs on
the cars, had kicked him in the face
and ribs and trampled upon him as he
lay PROSTATE under their blows.
The trouble occurred Saturday night.
Best was a conductor on one of the
pay-as-you-enter cars running from
the return trip from North Topeka
Harris and his wife entered the car at
the Rock Island depot The woman
started to pass the conductor and he
caught her by the arm.

MY husband will pay my fare" re-
piled the woman.
st don't know who is your husband,
give me your fare" repeated Best.
Negro Issues Warning.
At this time Harris came up and
warned the conductor not to touch his
wife. Best told him to pay his fare
and move along as they were blocking
the entrance to the car. Then Harris
several times reached toward the con-
ductor with a coin in his hand but
each time the conductor tried to take
it. withdrew his hand. The crowd was
waiting to board the car and it was
exasperating but witnesses say Best
kept his temper.
Later, from inside the car, Harris
called the conductor a vile name, as
he passed. Best struck the negro, but
further trouble did not then result.
