day, for the first time since Angus,

vacation. With the exception of the
secretary of state, Mr.. Knox, and the
secretary of the navy, Mr.. Meyer, ev-
cry member was in his seat. Ste
nographers do not report cabinet
meetings, but the laughter which pen
etrated the walls and was heard in
the corridor of the executive offices in
dicated that Tuesdays defeat had not
brought gloom to Mr.. Taft's official
family.
Subjects considered at todays meet
ing were many. From the election to
the filling of several vacancies the
discussion covered much ground. The
messages which Mr.. Taft expects ia
write in the next few weeks We're TAX
en- up and ideas for them presented
by members of the cabinet.
1t was understood in Washington
today that at present no cabinet mem
Der intended to quit office until March
4. Several members let it be known
months ago that they expected to re
tire, March 4, even if Mr.. Taft were
reelected, and several were known t.
be anxious to get back to private life
before that date. The feeling of 10y
atty to the President. however, is ex-
pected to keep every cabinet officer
at the head of his department unit
the administration itself goes out o.
power.

Up AGAINST i!
Jack Johnson Can't Fool
With Federal Officers.
One Falsifier Held In $4,000 for
Contempt OF Court.

Chicago, Nov. Sack johnson,
champion heavyweight pugilist of the
world, tonight, occuAed a cell in the
county jail, due to his failure to fur
nish a $4,000 bond for his release on
a charge of violating the Mann act.
Johnson's attempt to provide bond
at the regular session of court failed,
but Judge Lands agreed to hold
night session and give the pugilist an
opportunity to obtain new bondsmen.
AS he left the federal building hand
cuffed to Deputy Marshal Edward
Northcrop, after a plea not to have
his wrist manacled. Johnson seemed
greatly detected, but he said nothing.
In his extended fight for bond John
son shed tears, pleaded, offered cash
bond in almost any amount and en-
pioyed two attorneys. Three prospec-
tive bondsmen failed to qualify and
one of them, Albert c. Jones. was sent
to Jail after he had failed to obtain
bond of $1,000 for his appearance in
court, next Monday, to answer a
charge of contempt, which was lodged
against him By the court when he at
tempted TO schedule property said 70
belong to his wife. Tony May, another
prospective bondsman, was ordered out
of court because he gave answers to
questions which the court considered
untruthful.
Both District Attorney Wilerson and
Judge Lands refused to consider a
cash bond.
An unparalleled attempt to swim
DIE this court by offering unqualified
bondslnen has been made said Judge
Lands I will not consider Il cash
bond.''
Mr. Wikerson said he understood
that Johnson intended to leave this
country, Nov. 80, If he obtained his re-
lease. The offence with which john
son is charged, is not subject to extra
dition.
Several other charges against john
son are to be investigated by the
grand jury, 1t is said
District Attorney Wilkerson said, to-
night, he intended to put johnson on
trial as soon as possible The case prob
ably will be called next week.
Catherine Dorsey, at whose home the
young white girl Lucille Cameron, lived
for several weeks, was arrested, this aft
ernoon. She had been hiding in u barn
for three weeks. She was held under
$1,000 bonds as a witness in the Johnson
case and also was remanded TO the mar
shal's custody. ea
