CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Instead of the
admiring throngs that followed his
automobile through the streets of Chi
cago, Jack Johnson, negro champion
prize fighter. now faces angry crowds
The cheers that formerly greeted him
on his public appearances have been
changed into Kisses and the fighter is
obliged to safeguard himself by a
bodyguard of six strong arm men. At
one time today it was reported that
he had been shot.
This afternoon he was at the corner
of South Dearborn and West Monroe
streets He went into a building on
business and came forth to find a
crowd of 1000 people blocking the
path to his automobile.
Kill him, lynch him., were the
cries which followed his appearance
and from a window some one hurled
an ink bottle that narrowly missed
the head of the giant prize fighter.
The six strong arm men fought an
opening through the crowd and John
son was whirled from the scene of
danger.

No Communication Allowed.


To prevent communication between
her and the prize fighter, or his
friends, she has been taken to Rock
ford by federal officials in default of
bail. The plucky fight of the mother
has aroused sympathy throughout the
city. She scored point after point in
her desperate stand against the mon
Eey and influence of Johnson. The
little woman hurried from place to
place with her lawyer and never rest
ed until she had been assured that
johnson could not gain the release OF
her daughter. she owns small house
in Minneapolis and said that she
would sell it, il necessary, to raise
funds for carrying on her fight.
| Women's clubs throughout the city
rallied to her support, meetings were
held and it was announced that, unless
the administration took some action,
the women themselves would devise
some means of driving the black fight
er from the city.
Tonight Mrs Falconet had won all
the honors of the struggle. An idea
of what she had prevented can be OBJ
tanned from the statements OF her
daughter at the Rockford Jail and the
defiant announcement of johnson.
Il love Jack and shall never leave
him. said the girl.
I'm going to marry Lucille no mat
ter what they do" declared Johnson.
They can put her in jail, or try to
put her in the asylum, but I'll marry
her in time anyway
Tonight Johnsons cafe is guarded
by a special detective squad. The
negro says he has received threats OF
. death and dynamite.
United States District Attorney
