frogs to the boys who were throwing
stones at them, and there are many incl
dents that seem amusing to people until
they are brought in contact with the
tragedy that lies behind.
q remember watching an amusing
scene in Whiteford street, Just off Totem
ham court road, one winters Saturday
night. A woman--a rather respectable
looking woman-had Just been shot out
of a public house. She was very digni-
fled and very drunk. A policeman re-
duested her to move on. She called him
fellow and demanded to know of him
if he considered that was the proper tone
in which to address a lady. She threat
ened to report him to her cousin, the
lord chancellor.
Yes, this way to the lord chancel-
lOT,' replied the policeman. You coms
along with me- and he caught hold of
her by the arm. She gave a lurch ana
nearly fell. To save her the man put
his arm round her waist. She clasped
him round the neck, and together thew
spun round two or three times, while
at that very moment a piano organ at
the opposite corner struck up a waltz.
Choose your partners. gentlemen.
for the next dance shouted a wag; and
the crowd roared.
q was laughing myself, for the situa-
ton was undenlablv comicll-the con-
stables expression of disgust being quite
Hogarthian-when the sight of a chiIfs
face beneath the gas lamn STAYED me.
Her face was so full of terror, that /
tried to comfort her.
It's only a drunken woman I said;
he's not going to hurt her.

BELIEVES JOHNSON
ANXIOUS TO FLEE,
FORGETTING BOND
Government Files Brief Op-
posing Motion to Re-
! lease Pugilist.

The intimation that the Government
believes the reason why Jack John
son IL so anxious to get out on bail at
Chicago Is that he may fee the coun-
try and escape prosecution under In
dictments charging violation of the
white slave law, was made in a brief
filed at the Supreme Court today by
Solicitor General Bullitt The brlei
,strenuously opposes the motion by
Johnson's attorneys to admit the pugi-
list to bail.
Sum Asked Not Excessive.
THE administration of the criminal
law would be brought into disrepute II
one committing such an Infamous crime
as that for which johnson has been In
dicted," says Mr.. Bullitt, could by for
lfeiting even a considerable sum Of
money escape to Il place where he would
be free from further prosecution.
Thirty thousand dollars, while large
sum, Is not excessive, because II Is OBJ
Nriously not prohibitory. The very fact
that johnson is willing to deposit cash
to that amount IL conclusive that the
amount fixed Is not excessive.
Bullitt argues that $4,000 is not ex-
Ccssive, because In the proper enforce
ment OF the criminal law 1t Is necessary
that large discretion be vested In the
trial court.
This discretion, Bullitt says. should
lot be abridged by the Supreme Court
He says the court was perfectly right
in refusing a $4,000 certificate Of de-
post, as It would have no power to ac'
ccpt cash in lieu Of bail.
One Bondsman a Perjurer.
Bullltt quotes telegram United
States District Attorney Wilkerson, In
which Wilkcrson says that one OF the
suretics rendered by Johnson, commit
ted perjury In his examination. Wilker.
son further says
attention was called to fact that de
f,Ldant tJOhnscm had stated that II
was his intention to leave this country
on NovCmb,r 80. ana this statement was
not tontrIdictcd by either defendant Oi
any Of his counsel. In view of th@

DUBLIN, April %. The Irish
nationalist party met In convention
here today to decide whether they will
accept the home rule bill framed by
the Asquith ministry and presented
to the house of commons recently by
the liberal leader.
John Redmond, leader OF the ma
tionalists in the house, advised the
acceptance Of the measure In Its en-
tirety as the best home rule that
could be expected at this time, but
it was considered extremely probable
that the convention would endorse the
bill qualifiedly, demanding certain
amendments in the fiscal policy for
ireland outlined in the Asquith meas
ure. The nationalists generally be-
lieve that complete control OF the
finances Of ireland should be vested
IN the Irish authorities under the bill
Thirty-five hundred delegates were
in attendance when the convention
met John O'Callagan represented the
United Irishmen of America.
Great crowds We're at the hall
where the convention convened long

IN charge ordered all women excluded
