WIFE OF JOHNSON KILLS SELF
Stunned and Unhappy Because She
Married a Negro.

A dispatch from Chicago says be-
ing Stunned and unhappy because she
had married a negro, the wife of
Jack Johnson, worlds champion
heavyweight pugilist, shot herself
Wednesday night and died Thursday
morning. She was 81 years OF age
and the daughter Of Mrs. David Ter
nv of Brooklyn. When she married
Johnson, she was the divorced wife
of Clarence Duryear, a we'll known
New York turfman.
During the trip to Las Vegas, N.
NJ, where Johnson fought JIM Flynn
the blacks wife told friends she was
very unhappy, as her former friends
avoided her because she was welded
to negro.
Soon after Johnson left his home
Wednesday night she called her two
maids and placing an arm around
each asked that they kneel In pray
er. After she had prayed for some
time, she sent the maids into differ
ent rooms. Hardly had they closed
the doors bslind them when then
heard a shot and rushing in found
the woman on the floor.
She had been in such a condition
or several months that, on the advice
of a doctor, Johnson had employed
two women attendants to watch her.
He was to have taken her to Las
Vegas, N. NJ, for her health, and
was away getting tickets when she
shot herself.

In that way no fewer individuals
can claim credit for the election of

public is responding to our appeal
We are very sanguine about the re-
suit of our undertaking. I think we
shall be able to raise the required

THREW ACID IN HIS FACE.
The Screams Of a Dying Man Dire"
Very Large Crowd.

Screams coming from park in
Brooklyn late Wednesday night caus-
ed a crowd of passersby to hurry to
a secluded bench where they found
a man with hands pressed to his face
moaning that girl had thrown acid
in his face. The police arrested a
girl who gave her name as Ester
Captain and led her to the park
bench, but the man was so badly
burned about the eyes that he could
not see her. Soon he became uncon-
scious and died before an ambulance
arrived. Under pressure from the
police the girl said that she knew
the man as Samuel Kaplan and that
he had taken all her money under
faithless promises of marriage. She
declared he was one Of group OF
swindlers wanted in Chicago. Al
though she insisted that he had tax
en the acid himself after trying to
force her to drink it, she was locked
up on a homicide charge.
