Charged With Abduction,
Is Increased by Court.

CHICAGO, October 19-Charged with
the abduction of a white girl, Jack John
son, the colored champion pugiIist, was

and the case continued until October 30
johnson became furious when counsel
for Mrs F. Cameron-Falconnet, mother
of the nineteen-year-old girl, demanded
that his bond be increased. Il don't see
why johnson should be shown any more
partiality than any other defendant
charged with a similar crime said
Charles Erbstein. the woman's attorney
II don't think it's necessary to increase
the bond,' Johnson told the court. Il am
a responsible citizen. l have a business
worth $60,O00."
1T may be worth that to you," flashed
back Erbstein. but it's illegal and you
ought to be put out of business.
'All right, Mr.. Mayor commented
Johnson. with a laugh.
IF 1 was mayor of Chicago you
wouldn't be in business three days." re-
piled the attorney.
Alter considerable wrangling Judge
Hopkins placed the bond at $500, the
usual amount in abduction cases. Then
Johnson asked permission to write out a
check to cover the increase.
mo checks go with me-" asserted the
attorney.
"All right. 1t will be cash, then"
shouted Johnson, spelling out the word
A professional bondsman posted a cash
bond for the negro.

----
Plan in View for Housing Dis
trict Supplies.
PURCHASES MADE IN BULK
Commissioners to Ask Congress for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as
Measure Of Economy.

A municipal department store will be
provided for the District of Columbia
government if Congress approves a
recommendation which is contained in
the Commissioners estimates for the
next fiscal year.
Believing that an annual saving of
from to 10 per cent would be effected
through the buying of the Districts sup
plies in bulk and storing them in one
place, the Commissioners, it is under
stood, will request in their estimates an
appropriation of about ,00O with
which TO build a general warehouse
Under the plan proposed, NJ. c. Har-
grove, District purchasing officer. will
be storekeeper. An appropriation Of
Slv0U0, with which to stock up and get
ready for business, also is requested, it is
understood.
Plan Long in View.
The decision to ask Congress for funds
with which to erect warehouse is in
line with recommendations made for sew
eral years by Purchasing Officer Har-
grove. The new building, if authorize d,
will adjoin the structure now used ex-
clusively as storehouse for the en-
gneer department of the District gov
ernment. which is located at 1ith and d
streets southwest.
At present the obtaining of supplies for
general use by the District of Columbia
government Is restricted. The Specifica-
tions practically preclude any bidder who
has no local facilities for storage and de-
livery of supplies from time to time. Un-
der the plan proposed, manufacturers
may bid direct and the District, it is ex-
pected, will be able to obtain better
prices.
Fund of 100000 Needed.
The engineer department. of the Dis
trict has warehouse of it's own and
Congress provides $4,000 annually for
stocking it. In order to run a general
storehouse an appropriation Of twice this
amount Will be needed, it is said. The
purchasing officer will be continuously en-
gagged in expending the appropriation for
supplies and selling the latter to the va
rious appropriations under which they
are to be used.
The Commissioners estimates, it is
stated, provide for the purchase of an
electric truck to be used in the delivery
OF supplies.

TROOPS UNDER ORDERS
TO BLOCK GAMBLING
Drastic Action by Gov. Mar
shall Against Race Track
Association.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October 19.-The
South Bend company of the Indiana Ma
,tional Guard today was ordered to hold
itself in readiness to go at once to Min
era Springs to stop gambling, said to be
going on there in connection with a rae
ing meet. This action was taken after a
conference of state officials and after the
states application for a restraining order
had been Withdrawn by order of Attorney
General Thomas NJ. Honan. while it was
being argued in the Lake Porter circuit
court at Valparaiso this morning.
Under the Governors Orders.
Mark Thistlethwaite, Gov. Marshall's s
secretary. who is acting for the governor
during his absence on a campaigning trip
in the west, said he could not say when
the South Bend company would be or
dered to move. One company of militia,
ne said, would be sufficient to stop the
betting, if it was necessary to send any
to the race course.
Gov Marshall. from Nebraska, last
night delegated his secretary to call out
state troops unless the Porter county
authorities put a stop to gambling to-
day, and it may be that the South Bend
company will be called out this after
noon.

Michigan Leans to Roosevelt.

AT hand is further information confirm
ing the statements made in my dispatches
from Detroit that Roosevelt was strong
in Michigan and will have to be reckoned
with very seriously.
The fact that the information comes

Considered for Some Time.

The department for some time has been
looking into the question of extending the
Mains to the high ground in Good Hope.
The Stantan School, located in that Sec
tion, is without satisfactory water sup
ply. In order to meet the needs of the
school temporarily, the department this
year deepened the Well which constitutes
the schools only water supply and erect
ed windmill 1t is said that the water
is still far from being up to standard
and that many of he children refuse to
drink it.
The pumping station to be erected will
be of sufficient capacity to furnish all of
the high ground east of Anacostia river
with water. The site for the station
cost the District $1,000. 1t is announced
that plans for the building. which is to
cost about $12,000 have been completed
and that bids for the furnishing of boilers
and pumps will be requested shortly. The
| necessary equipment will cost about $1O,-
COO.
Negotiations now are under way, It is
understood. for the purchase of a plot of
ground on top of the hill in Good Hope
for the erection of water tower. AS
soon as a site has been obtained a con-
tract for the construction of the tower

The Turks already have 2O0, 900 men in

for the moment have some advantage In

Towers to Hold 100000 Gallons.

The towers to be built in Good Hope,
Congress Heights and at Both and X
streets will have about 100000 gallons
capacity each, and will represent total
cost of about $4,000. 1t will be neces-
sary to purchase land in Congress
Heights for the erection of the tower
there. but it is said that the local gov
eminent owns sufficient ground on which
to build the Beth and r streets tower
This ground is part of the plat that was
donated by Col. A. Z. Randle for the
construction of the 3Oth and r street
school,
Extension of the mains will start at
18th street. At present the citys
water supply does not reach any point
east of Anacostia river that is more
than $50 feet above tide. The water
tower to be built in Good Hope will be
300 feet above tide.
Water carried in the Congress Heights
main has a pressure of only about fif-
teen pounds to the inch. 1t is eX-
pected that, as a result of the instaila-
tion of the pumping station, the pres
sure will be increased to thirty-five or
forty pounds an incn.
