the lumber producing industry upon
insinuations, unverified charges, sus-
picion or prejudice"
On receipt of the statement and pc
utlon of the lumber men, President
Taft referred the complaint to Secre-
tary Nagel, who furnished the Presi-
dent with a reply. This reply states
the position of the administration in
the matter. The lumber manufacture
ers, upon receiving the letter from the
Secretary of Commerce. made another
appeal to President Taft, saying.
I'VE hope Mr.. President, notwith-
standing the present attitude of the
Administration, as expressed by the
Honorable Secretary, that you will
promote the prompt justice asked for
by body of the citizenship now, as
they verify believe, misunderstood
and grievously maligned."
In the petition, reference is made
to the fact that while the Department
OF Commerce and Labor made public
Feb. 10, 1911, a partial report on the
lumber industry, it related only to
the private ownership of standing tim
Der in the United States, and advanc-
ed only one of the reasons for the al
legged high price of lumber; that this
partial report ignored the request of
Congress to report particularly as to
the existence of combinations, etc. in

Era Of City-PIannino.

Seventy American cities are now
spending 500, 100000 to beautify them
selves and 80 more will join in the
movement within year. This strfk-
ing fact was brought out in Boston at
the fourth national conference on city
planning. In this new movement the
cities Of the United States are fol-
lowing path where Europe has shown
the way. Nearly half of the popula-
ton of the United States is now urban.
More than one-fifth Is in towns or
cities of more than $500 and less than
100000 inhabitants. These are the very
places that have the best opportunity
for intelligent city planning. The time
for it Is while the town is smcsl and
while land is cheap. Mere multiplica-
ton Of parks does not carry out the
idea. The whole city should be treat
ed as a park or landscape garden and
its public buildings should form a
civic center on a definite architectural
basis. The only effective machinery
for the creation Of city beautiful is
a permanent city-planning commission
with power to condemn property. Har-
monious development OF the growing
city, with every street, tree, building
and spot of ground treated as detail
IN harmonious ensemble, Is not only
art but business. Civic beauty is an
immense municipal asset.

Meanwhile, Sir Colin Campbell had
arrived in India. He was to assume
the chief command Of the forces in
India, and his first task was to rescue
the garrison at Lucknow. Upon the
9th of November he led an army of
five thousand men and thirty guns out
of Cawnpore, and among these was
the naval brigade under William
Peel.

brick wall about twenty feet high, was

horrible story as related above, from

JACK JOHNSON is PUT IN JAIL
PUGILIST SHEDS TEARS AND
PLEADS WITH THE COURT.
Reported That the Case Against the
Champion Has Only
Begun.

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Jack Johnson,
champion heavyweight pugilist of the
world, occupies a cell in the county
Jail due to his failure to furnish a $780,
900 bond for his release on a charge
Of violating the Mann act.
No longer is Johnson's golden
smile" famous around the world, Wis
ible. His hard, losing fight, waged
throughout an afternoon and evening
session in Judge Knesaw M. Lands
court detected him greatly.
In the course of his extended bat
tie for bonds Johnson shed tears,
pleaded, offered cash bond In almost
any amount and employed two attor-
neys in an effort to obtain his release.
Three prospective bondsmen failed to
qualify and one of them, Albert c..
Jones, was sent to Jail after he had
failed to obtain a bond of 500 0 for
his appearance in court next Monday
to answer to a charge of contempt
which was lodged against hin by the
court when he attempted to schedule
property said to belong to his wife.
Tony May, another prospective bonds.
man, was ordered out of court because
he gave answers to questions, which
the court considered untruthful.
Both District Attorney Wilkerson
and Judge Lands refused to consider
a cash bond.
IAN unparalleled attempt to swindle
by offering unqualified bondsmen has
been made" Judge Lands said, 81
will not consider a cash bond"
Mr.. Wilkerson said he understood
that Johnson intended to leave the
country on Nov. 80 if he obtained his
release. The crime with which John
son is charged is not extraditable.
Coincident with the incarceration Of
Johnson, Mrs. Catherine Dorsey, with
whom Lucille Cameron is said to have
lived three weeks while in Chicago
and whom federal authorities have
sought as a witness against Johnson,
was arrested and taken to jail.
To add further to the puglist's
troubles, it was reported that the fed
eral investigation of Johnson's alleged
immoral practices has only begun. Sew
eral other charges against him are
being investigated by the grand jury,
it was said.
District Attorney Wilkerson said he
intended to put Johnson on trial as
soon as possible. The case probably
will be called for pleas next week.
