This deliberate cutting did not cause
death, was quite symmetrical, and OBJ
viously symbolical OF a secret society.
They had never seen anything Of the

theory that Boron was killed by the
members of an organization who left

PUGILIST JOHNSON'S SKULL
More Massive Than Texas Steers.
and 1t Took Five Minutes for
A-Ray to Penetrate 1t.

A recent dispatch from San Fran
cisco is likely to discourage such
white pugilists as may be industri-
ously training with the hope of fac
ing Jack Johnson in the prize ring
and snatching the championship
from his grasp. The dispatch, after
stating that the negro pugilist had
visited a hospital where his brother
is under treatment for threatened
blindness, proceeds:
While experts were taking X-ray
pictures of Charlie they suggested
that the champion sit down and have
an H-ray made of his head to discov-
er TIE thickness of his skull.
johnson accepted, and the result
showed that it required five and a
half minutes for the rays to pene-
tlate, thus proving that the cham
pion has q skull ranging from one
half to three-quarters of an inch.
which is more massive than the skull
d & Texas steer.
While it took five and q half min
utes fer the rays to penetrate john
sons skull they go through an ordi-
nary human head in from five to fif-
teen seconds.
The result of the X-ray exposure
amazed all the medical experts at
| the German hospital. All declared
that Johnson's skull surpassed In
thickness any which they had seen,
and proved that he could not be
knocked out by blow on the head. "
No white man can hope to stand
with bare fists before either the hind
hoofs of a mule or a negro whose
skull is thicker than that of a Texas
steer, and so Johnson is likely tC
hold the championship until some
gorilla or four-footed animal is al.
lowed to face him in the ring.-Ma-
con Telegraph.

AFTER THE PAPERS AGAIN
GOVERNMENT is NOT SATISFIED
WITH FORMER FAILURE.
1t Is Said Federal Officials Hope to
Start in Atlanta Wide Campaign
Along the Same line.

ATLANTA.-The federal grand
jury, under the urging of United
States Attorney Alex Alderman, is
again after the Atlanta newspapers,
presumably upon the same old
charges of sending out sample cop
les at the one cent a pound rate in
excess of the number allowed by
law.
Just what Mr.. Alderman and his
associates hope to gain is a mystery.
In the case of the Atlanta Journal,
against which an Indictment was
found, the judge threw it out of
court on a demurrer, holding that
there was no cause of action against
the paper.
In the case of the Constitution the
last grand jury spent two weeks or
more going into every detail of the
case at Mr.. Ackerman's direction,
and examining more than 100 wit
nesses, and then refused to find a
true bill holding that there was no
foundation for any Of the charges al
legged.
Before the new grand jury fifty
WITNESSES have been summoned i'll
the case of the Constitution, and the
report is that the whole thing is
to be threshed out again in the hope
apparently that different jury may
reach a different conclusion.
The theory advanced by Mr.. ACk-
erman's persistence in this fight is
that he has planned a campaign Of
criminal prosecution against numer-
GUS newspapers throughout the
country on similar charges, and that
he cannot afford to fall down on his
very first cases if there is any way
to avoid it, because it would mean
practically an end to the entire cam
paign, and of a certain ambition
which he is. said to have conceived
in connection with it,

1923 CONvICTS DIE IN MINE
Explosion Wrecks Banner Mines
Near Birmingham. Convict Hero
Saves Sixteen Lives.

LITTLETON, Ala.-One hundred
and twenty-eight men are tonight en-
tombed in the Banner mines, and
but three bodies have been brought
to the surface, following a terrible
explosion early this morning.
The fatal afterdamp which follow
ed the explosion has so far kept the
rescuers from penetrating the mine,
although they have been far enough
in the interior to see a gruesome
pile Of human bodies huddled to-
gether near the shaft.
1t is estimated that about twenty
men are in this pile. Officials of the
Pratt Consolidated Coal Company,
who own the mine, have practically
abandoned hope of bringing out any
of those below the surface alive.
Practically all of the men are ne
gro convicts, though there are some
whites among them.
TOday's explosion differs from
those of the past years in Alabama
in that there are practically no
mourners at the openings Usually
there is a great crowd of widows and
orphans waiting for their loved ones,
but the men at Banner were con-
victs, for the most part without any
friends. They were from surround
ing counties, and were under SEN
ten of from ten days to two years.
A rush order for 100 collins was
sent to Birmingham tonight and %
viii arrive before morning, while the
others will be hurried here early
Sunday.
Raced With Death to the Entrance.
Following the explosion several of
the convicts with mining experience
discovered that the black damp was
forming. They at once sounded the
alarm to those who were not in
stantly killed by the explosion, and
many started race with death to
the entrance.
Forty-fve of the miners either
reached the outside in safety or got
within hailing distance in the shaft
and were taken out by rescuers.
Charlie Brown, one of the negro
conVicts, was among the first to
reach the outside after the blast.
but he Immediately turned back and
penetrated the mine again as far
as the blackdamp in an effort to res
cue fellow workers.
Sixteen men reached safety only
through his assistance, and a score
more got as far as the main shaft
before they were overcome by the
gases.
