INDICTMENT IS
FOUND AGAINST
JACK JOHNSON
Champion Pugilist Must An
swer the Charge Of Violat-
ing the Mann Act-Placed
Under Arrest.

Chicago, Nov. Slack Johnson
champion colored pugilist. was in
dicted by the federal grand jury yes
terday, charged with violation Of the
Mann act against the transportation
OF women from one state to another
for immoral purposes. johnson was
fixed at $4,000 by United States judge
Lands.
The specific case against Johnson
was in connection with his alleged re-
lations with Belle Schneider. Pitts
burg, Pa, white girl, in August, 1910.
In the indictment johnson is charged
with violation of the Mann act on four
counts. He is said to have induced tn }
Schneider girl to come to Chicago.
Federal officers searched the south
side several hours before Johnson was
found hiding in a hotel surrounded by
four negro guards.
An attempt was at first made by the
guards to prevent the officers from en-
tering Johnson's rooms but they were
pushed aside and the government war
rant was served on the prize fighter
without serious trouble.
At the federal building tears came
to Johnsons eyes as the officers put
handouts on his wrists.
You don't have to do this" he said.
I'm not going to run away. I'm
square, you ought to know that"
His bond had been fixed at $4,000.
but all the federal judges had left the
building for the night. Johnson and
his attorney attempted to secure bail
but for a time 1t seemed as if the prize
fighter would be compelled to spend the
night in the county Jail. The federal
judges declined to leave their homes to
go through the formality of accepting
bail.
After several hours work, Johnson
found a court clerk willing to act and
