JOHNSON'S WIFE IS SUICIDE
WHITE WOMAN UNHAPPY BE-
CAUSE SHE MARRIED NEGRO.
Wife of the Champion Pugilist,
Spurned by Her Former Friends
and Associates, Kills Self.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Etta Johnson, the
wife of John Arthur Johnson, negro
champion heavyweight prize fighter
of the world, died today in the Prov
ident hospital as a result of a self
inflicted bullet wound.
A white woman, former wife of
Clarence Duryea and then a conspie-
uous figure in Long Island society
life, she had been suffering from
nervous attack for some time. Last
night, after retiring to her room IN
the apartment above her husbands
new Cafe de Champion, she dismiss
ed her two negro maids. Five min
utes later they heard a shot. Rush
ing into the room they found the Wo-
man lying across the bed, revolver
by her side. Police were summoned
and the woman removed to the hos
pital.
A few minutes later Johnson ar
rived at his home. He was told of
the affair, and jumping into an au-
tomobile rushed to the hospital. He
arrived Just as his wife was laid on
the operating table, where a vain
effort was made to save her life.
FIoretta Whaley, EIoper, a Cousin.
For several years she was the wife
of Clarence Duryea. She obtained a
divorce in Chicago in 1910 and mar
ried Johnson. She was cousin OF
Floretta Whaley, the girl who 1--WE
years ago eloped with Rev. Jerre
Cook from Hampstead, n. \.
Friends of the woman say that the
real cause of her nervous breakdown
was the realization that she had cut
herself off forever from old friends
and associations. She was also treat
ed as an outcast by Johnson's friends,
who resented his having married a
woman outside his own race.
The Cafe de Champion was closed
today, but for hours after the trag-
edy the place rang with music and
curious crowds stood before the bar.
Crowds gathered in the streets to-
day in front of the place, and there
were numerous and heated discus
sions of the marriages of whites and
blacks. At times it appeared that
there might be trouble.
Johnson shut himself in the apart
ments and refused himself to all
callers.

NOT NECESSARY

Murray Butler, the temporary

convention. the session adjourned
until IL a. m. tomorrow, when
speeches discussing the platform
to be adopted will be made and
various resolutions acted upon.
Although nearly all the dele
gates apparently were against the
policies of Roosevelt, the conven-
tion seems split on the PROPOSE
tion of instructing the delegates
for Taft.
The fight Is being led by Sena-
tor Root and William Barnes, jr.
Barnes accused President Taft
of interfering" in the conven-
ton.
While the roll of delegates was
being called a messenger ap-
preached Barnes an dsaId:
Washington wants you on the
long distance telephone"
Tell him to wait half an
hour" Barnes replied.
Butler attacked vigorously the
recall of the judiciary and declar-
ed the impeachment plan suffi-
cient.
Butler defended the sufficiency
of the constitution to meet pres
ent day needs, denying that it is
outworn any more than the rule
of gravitation or the multiplied

his head.
why don't you leave booze
alone?" demanded Read. Eagerly
the ex-sailor promised he would.
The captain stared out into the
street, at the sun-splashed pave

the fresh beauty of spring. The
offender, penitent and downcast of
mien, waited.
The captain cleared his throat.

Republican machine leaders,
in the state convention here, side
stepped the question of instruct
ing the states delegates at large
for President Taft. The session
was devoted to organization and
the drafting of a platform. Vice
President James S. Sherman and
Senator Elihu Root urged the
convention to instruct the dele
gates at large for President Taft.
Just before the convention OPEN
ed Senator Root said:
1--WE need only a few more
delegates to have the state for
President Taft and we are going
to get them"
A heavy snowstorm failed to
keep the delegates away from the
convention.
William H. Barnes, leader of
the republican machine, fought
the efforts of Vice President Sher-
man and Senator Root for in
structions for Taft. He declared
Instructions unnecessary. The
standpat leaders said the platform
could ignore the initiative and
referendum measures, although
the recall of judges demanded
