worthless ball.
Attention was called to the fact that
defendant had stated that it was his
intention to leave this country on No
Vember 80, and this statement was not
contradicted either by the defendant or
any of his counsel" added the telegram.
Referring to the possibility of johnson
leaving the country, the solicitor gem
erals brief adds:
Thirty thousand dollars. while a
large sum, is not excessive, because it
is obviously not prohibitory. The very
fact that Johnson is willing to deposit
cash to that amount is conclusive that
the amount fixed is not excessive"
Attempt at Freedom Fails.
Chicago. Nov. 13.-Another attempt to
procure the release of Jack johnson, the
pugilist, from Jail, failed today Fed
eral Judge Carpenter denied a motion
to reduce the $4,000 bail under which
the negro is held on a charge of violat-
ing the Mann act w. G. Anderson
Johnson's counsel, then asserted that he
would offer new securities later in the
day.
Replying to the complaint that the
trial court refused to accept a $780,
600 certificate of deposit, or $4,000
cash in lieu of bail, Solicitor General
did not provide for the acceptance of
cash in lieu of bail and that the court
would have no power to do so.
Ball was defined by Mr.. Bullitt
as IAN undertaking, guaranteed by
sureties, that the defendant shall be
produced at the proper time in time

gubernatoriaI contest. This news from
Great Bend reduced = rthur Capper :
majority to IL. Capper gained one vote
today in LeaVenworth county and lost
one in Ford county
Even though official returns have
been reported to Topeka from all of
the los counties of the state returns
from but 45 counties have been en-
rolled at the secretary of states office
and in a number of counties changes
of one or two votes are being made
in the final checking. Following the
news from Reno county, the Barton
county report makes a decided gam
for Hodges and leaves him but IL be-
hind in the Kansas gubernatorial fight.
In a telephone message to the State
Journal today, the county clerk of
Barton county gave the official vote on
governor in that county at 1921 for
Hodges and 1856 for Capper, or a ma
jority of 765 for Hodges The hodges
majority in Barton had been carried
at $50 and had been previously reported
as official.
Officials at Democratic headquarters
did not appear in the least surprised
when informed concerning the Barton
county change Chairman Henderson
s. Martin smiled a modest "I knew it
smile and refused to make any new
figures on the governorship fight He
indicated that Capper's figures were too
high but fatty declined to say where.
Hodges is ahead and that's all 1
care to say about it, said Martin
We have won the election and they
can't count US out
Two slight changes were made at the
secretary of states office today. One
included the reduction OF Hodges ma
jorfty in Leavenworth county from 973
to 972- The other was a loss for Cap
per and left honors even. 1t was a
change of one vote in Ford. That
county had been carried at 55 for Cap

National agreement requires the adop-
ton of the limit, makes the question 4
delicate one for the baseball diplo-
mats. The report of NJ E Justin and
mend salary limit exchange read IN
part as follows:
Many Questions to Settle.
The number of players each club,
regardless of its classification may
carry, already is fixed by the National
commission and these restrictions are
believed to be satisfactory. 1t is un-
derstood no rule viii prohibit a club
from employing less than the number
of players, or of paying a total of sal
aries less than the limit that shall oe
fixed for that class by this association
There is another important question
which probably can be settled best by
the leagues of each class in separate
caucuses. 1t is the amount that shall
be set as a maximum for an Individual
player. Enforcement of whatever lin
its are set is of paramount Importance.
Failure to abide by the rule means
wreckage either from lack of finances
or at the hands of the association
which is pledged to withdraw proteC-
ton from clubs transgressing the rules.
Sworn Statement Requested
1T is recommended that a system be
devised whereby each club president
shall tender to the president of his
league three days after his semi-montn-
ly payday a sworn statement of the
amount distributed to players in sal
aries during that period. A league
president doubling the statement
should report it to the commission and
the burden of proof should lie upon
the club.
1T is recommended and urged that
the present system of requiring aff1da-
Wits from players and club presidents
as to the correctness of salary figures
submitted be continued and strict pen
aIties be attached to infractions of the
rule.
''FfnalIy-and this is of more i'm
portance than any other thing-it is
urged that all executive officers of
leagues and clubs affiliated with the
National Association apply to the mat
ter of selary limit enforcement the
same honest and straightforward meth
DDS that are followed in other business
pursuits"
No Explanation From O'Neiu.
Pr -sident O'Neill of the Western
League had no reason to offer for let
ting his umpires go. He said he liked
to meet new people and that he want
ed to give the umpires a chance to
get in bigger company" He said he
had no criticism of them to make as
he was too busy selecting new men,

BAIL IS NOT HIGH
Johnson Should Be Kept in
Chicago, BulIitt Says.
Black Would Lose Money to
Escape Trial.

washington. Nov 13.-No reason ex-
lists. according to brief filed today on
behalf of the government by Solicitor
General Bullitt, why Jack johnson, the
negro pugilist confined in Jail in Chi
cago on a Charge of violating the white
slave act, should be admitted to bail
by the Supreme court of the United
States
The solicitor general pointed out that
while violations of the white slave act
are punishable by five years imprison-
men or So. .0OO fine, or both, they are not
extraditabie.
"A guilty offender might be quite
willing to jump any small amount of
bail so as to seek refuge in a foreign
country. and thus avoid punishment for
a crime which the public policy of this
county denounces with a heavy pen
atty he said.
'aThe administration of the criminal
law would be brought into disrepute if
one committing such an Infamous crime
as that for which johnson had been in
ciicted could. by forfeiting even a con-
sidera BILE sum of money escape to a
place where he would be free from
further prosecution" he declared.
Court Told of Attempted SwindIe.
A telegram from United States Attor-
new Wilkerson to the department of

closing facts which fully justified the

THREAT OF DEATH.

When the legislature meets in To-

be organized by the Kansas Demo
Gratis. Both houses will present good
working majority and the Democrats
will transact the states business &C
cording to their own notion. Even
though Sheffield ingalls,, Progressive
Republican, is elected to the lieutenant
governorship, it will not block the
plans Of Kansas Democracy. The 1911
session established a precedent whe1
it dehorned r. ]. Hopkins, appealed
when he made an adverse ruling and
themselves named a committee on
committees. That will be the plan
adopted in the Kansas senate next win
ter and Ingalls, will be shorn of his
power early in the session
In the house there will be a bat
tie royal for the speakership. James
w. Orr, of Atchison, is an avowed
candidate for the speakership. It
is also probable that Iron Jaw
W. L. Brown, of Kingman. may
break into the running. A three
cornered fight among the Democrats
will make the speakership contest
worth the watching.

There will be many new faces in
both houses this year, judging from
the first reports of candidates elected.
