JohnsOn's Saloon
Closed by Police,

Chicago, Nov. 3.--Chieago has writ
ten ..finis" to the career of Jack john
son. Negro pugilist. He will not be
allowed to violate the laws here any
longer. The Cafe de Champion, his
saloon and resort in 3lst street. was
closed by the police of the S4th street
station.
The order came from Capt. Moot
baar who acted on instructions from
City Collector Cohen. After a confer
ence with the city law department,
Collector Cohen told Capt. Nootbaar
to close the saloon. as no license had
been issued. A squad of police went
there, at O'Clock, drove the patrons
and employees to the street, and lock-
ed the doors
The notoriety growing out of the
charges against the Negro pugilist in
connection with Lucille Cameron and
other white women caused the refusal
of renewal of his license. The col
lector ruled that Johnson was an UNI
desirable person and of bad eharae-
ter.
Richard Klegin of Paris. who says
he represents the owners of the.
Aquarium Gardens in Moscow, Russia,
gave johnson a certified check for
$4,000 and three round-trip tickets to
Russia.
johnson has signed an agreement,
said Klegin, ito fight Sam McVey for
a purse of $4,000 and one-third of
the proceeds OF the moving pictures.
He will leave Chicago, on Nov. 30, for
Moscow for series of ring battles.
L. s. Dist ATTY. Wilkerson. when
he heard of Johnsons plans TO go
abroad said: He'll do no such thing.
His first rlove TO leave the country
win cause MIN to be locked up. we
expect to indict him and convict nm
for violating the Mann (white siaVe)
law

TAFT'S STATEMENT.

New York, Nov. 3.-President Taft
issued the following statement here.
| tonight, shortly before his departure
for Cincinnati:
ION the eye of the national election,
it is suitable that short summary
should be made of the reasons why
the Republican party is entitled to
support. That party for four years has
been responsible for the administra-
tion of the government and has left
record of success in effective and
efficient administration and of legisla-
tive accomplishment that is not sur
passed by any administration since
the war.
1T has changed deficit of more
than S50,00oo00 to a surplus of more
than $30000.O00 by increasing the rev.
enue and by reducing governmental
expenses.
Its achievements in legislation show
that it has made definite progress, so
far as national legislation can pro-
duce progress in statutes looking to
the aid and relief of those classes in
the community who have had reasons
heretofore To complain of the unjust
operation of the laws governing thei:
relations to employers ard to the
community at large. The modern
tendency to use governmental agencies
to better the general condition of the
people by giving an equal opportunity
to all has been fully recognized in this
legislation and practically steps have
been taken To satisfy it.
''rhe Republican tariff legislation of
the Congress of 1909 while not perfect
has actually reduced excessive tariff
rates and has yet retained the pro-
teetive features which have been so
instrumental in creating industrial
prosperity. And this administration
has already taken steps to secure a
far means BY tariff commission OF
further reducing and readjusting the
tariff within the limits of proper pro-
lection to our industries
Enforcement of Laws.
The anti trust laws upon the stat
ute books have been enforced without
regard TO persons and without fear
or favor and the resulting DEGREES,
Grafton, will tend TO restore COMPETE
ton and still remove the opposition
that the statute was PASSED to pre-
vent.
In this view of what has been done
in the last four years. the Republican
party should not now be turned out

Constantinople, Saturday, Nov. a.
tUncensored).-Con is in q
fever of excitement over the alarming
reports from the field of battle. For
eigners and natives alike are suffer
ing from the tension caused by the Sc
ries of military disasters and although
the city is in a state of siege. crime
in some quarters is unchecked Many
families are leaving the city. The
people fear. first, an outbreak of Mos

ments of the lower classes, and sec
ond. a rising Of hordes of maddened
soldiers, who are being driven by the
Bulgarians to make their last stand a
few miles outside of Constantinople
and then perhaps to fall back to the
capital. The battle continues on the
plains of Thrace and if the Turkish
soldiers fall back within the gates of
the city, 1t is feared they may turn
their guns and bayonets on those who
are awaiting here in trembling the
outcome of the conflict. There is a
large and nnruly element in the pop
ulation which would be glad of any
pretext for massacre and pillage The
presence of more than 10000 refugees
from the war scene, who have lost
all their possessions. adds to the dan
ger of the situation. Rumors are cur
rent that the Young Turks commit
tee may start rioting with the object
of overthrowing the government. but
there are no tangible proofs sof such
a plan.
Danger to Foreigners. ~ a
II is doubtful whether a rising
would be directed against foreigners
as much as native Christians. but the
danger to foreigners is very real. If
the Turkish army sustains complete
defeat the lives and property of thou
sands of foreigners as well as native
Christians will be in imminent peril.
The presence of foreign warships is
of greatest Importance and would be
the surest guarantee of the security
of foreign interests and public order
generally. The government has made
more severe the state of siege; strong
patrols circulate through the streets
and the police have received orders
TO use the utmost vigilance and re-

District Attorney Refuses to Turn His Prisoner Over to New York Department
POLICE COMMISSIONER ANXIOUS TO GET HIM
Deputy Commissioner Despatches Several Teegrams to De- tective Having Gambler in Custody-Police Detectives Who Met Schepps at Train warned by District Attorney to Keep Hands Of-One of Important Witnesses.

accompanied by his own counsel, Ber nard Sandley. Under these conditions what will I do? Please answer.
 This Dougherty did not answer, nor did the deputy commissioner answer a similar message sent by Thomas the next day. But when the train bear ing Mir Whitman and the Schepps party arrived today at the 125th street station in New York city. five head quarters detectives, headed by Detec tive Haggeyty, boarded it and demand ed Schepps as their prisoner.
 Whitman Warns Police.
 T will order the instant arrest of any officer who attempts to take Schepps to police headquarters. Mr. Whitman told Haggerty, and you can present my compliments to your com- missioner"
 MT Whitman explained to the de- tectives that as district attorney of the county he was thoroughly familiar with the evidence against Schepps as an alleged accomplice of the murder, and told them that it was insufficient to arrest him on such a charge, this being the one the police have made against him.
 Dougherty Acted Under Orders.
 "Schepps has come as voluntary witness into the state on pledge from me that he be protected, and 1 intend to protect him." declared the district attorney.
 Other detectives were on hand at the Grand Central station, but no attempt to take Schepps into custody was made. MT. Whitman, immediately after his arrival, got into telephone communication with the deputy com missioner, who said, according to the district attorney:
 T was acting absolutely on orders from Commissioner Waldo It must be that the commissioner misunder- stood things in some way"

HORRIBLE BUTcHERY BY
 ENGLISH ARMY OFFICER.
Kills Wife and Three Children and
 Wounds Paramour.

London, Aug. 19.-Reports. which were given scare heads in the earlier afternoon editions of the London newspapers, that a rich American named Macl1ie had murdered his wife and three children and had then con- mftted suicide by shooting with d re- yolver, mortified the American colony here. Later the American residents were greatly relieved when investiga- tion disclosed the fact that the author of the horrible butchery was not an American, but the story is one of the most revolting tragedies that has oc- cured in England in recent years.
 Captain Hicks Murray, formerly of the Gordon Highlanders, some seven or eight years ago took as his mistress Florence Taylor, young woman of re- spectable family, and two years ago he married FIorence's younger sister, Edith
 By the Taylor woman Murray had two children and by his wife one. Mrs. Murray did not live with her husband long, but her sister remained in the house.
 Representing himself as Richard Charles Mackie, an American, the for mer army officer a few weeks ago rented @ house in Eastibourne, a fash 1onable watering place, 66 miles south west of London, installing there the Taylor woman and their two children. Last Sunday night the legal wife ap- peared on the scene and the tragedy followed. Murray in a fit of frenzy whipped out 8 revolver and shot his wife and the three little ones dead.
 He also fired two shots at the Tay- Tor woman, both bullets taking effect, and then. after setting fire to the house, committed suicide The bodies of the five persons killed were found charred in the ruins of the building.
 The injured woman who was the on- ly occupant of the apartment to escape alive, was taken to a hospital, where she lies tonight in a hystertcal condi i- ton. She was visited at the hospital this afternoon by another sister, who said that her brother law was for merly a captain of the Scots Grays and later connected with the terTitorialsts.
 He had twice suffered from sunstroke while in India, she said, and had shown signs of insanity, for a time having been confined in an asylum.
