Chicago, and Placed Under
$4,000 Bail.
FACES PENITENTIARY TERM
Negro Pugilist Indicted on Four
Counts for Transporting
Women Into State for
Immoral Purposes.
TBv Telegraph TO The Tribune ]

Chicago, Nov. Jack" Johnson,
champion heavyweight 2rizefighter,
was arrested by federal officers to-
night. charged with a violation Of the
Mann white slave" law. His arrest
followed the return by the federal
grand jury of an indictment charging
him with having caused the trans
portation of Belle Schrieber, a white
woman, twenty-six years old, from
Pittsburgh to Chicago on August 10,
1910, for an unlawful purpose.
Federal officers searched the South
Side several hours before Johnson was
found hiding in the Hotel Vendome,
surrounded by four negro guards
An attempt was at first made by the
guards TO prevent the officers from
entering Johnsons rooms, but they
were pushed aside and the government
warrant served on the negro fighter
without serious difficulty.
At the Federal Building tears came
to his eyes as the officers put hand
cuffs on his wrists.
You don't have to do this; I'm not
going 10 run away" he said. I'm
square, YOU ought TO know that
Johnson's bonds had been fixed at
10000, but all the federal judges had
left the building for tho night and de-
clined TO leave their homes to go
through the formality Of accepting
bail.
After several hours Johnson found a
court clerk willing TO act, and the
prizefighter was taken TO the home OF
his mother, on the South Side, who
signed the bonds along with several
others and Johnson was released from
custody.
All Johnson's property has been
transferred TO his mother, Mrs. Tiny
Johnson. who signed his bond, giving
her residence. on Wabash avenue. and
the building in which Johnson's resort,
the cafe De Champion. is located, as
security.
The grand jury also voted an indict-
ment against the pugilist, charging
Illegal relations with Lucille Cameron,
a young white girl from Minneapolis.
II is charged that Johnson brought the
girl from Minneapolis for immoral pur-
poses, and. with the same motive, took
her from state to state. Many other
women are named in the indictment,
hut the Cameron incident is the one on
which the United States officials will
bring their most damaging evidence TO
bear penitentiary sentence will be
asked by District Attorney Wilkerson,
who has assumed personal charge OF
the case
Johnson is also under bond Of 81 800
for disorderly conduct and 5000 for
smuggling He disappeared about
roontime. when word OF the probable
indictment was brought TO him. and
every available federal Official In the
city was put on his trail.
Max" and David Weber offered
$1,000 bond for Miss Cameron. but
Judge Lands refused to accept II. He
gave no explanation for his refusal
Plans were made to return Miss Cam
eron to Rockford. Ill. where she has

DYNAM|TERS LONG BUSY?.
Active Four Months Before Los
Angeles Explosion.
JURY HAS MORE LETTERS
Witness Testifies Dynamite Was
Taken to Headquarters Just
Before Mcnamara Arrest.

Indianapolis. Nov. -Four months ac-
tivity on the part OF labor leaders on the
Pacific Coast preceded the fatal explosion
in Los Angeles, according to letters and
kilograms introduced by the government
at the trial of the forty-fye accused
dynamite plotters" to-day.
From kilograms and letters read to the
jury the government set forth this part
of its contention as follows:
Four months before the Los Angeles
Times Building was blown up Eugene A.
Clancy, labor leader in San Francisco,
who had been instructed to investigate
labor conditions in Los Angeles, tele-
graphed to John J. Mcnamara, in Indian
apolls:
The fight is on in Los Angeles. We are
going 10 win. Send Hockin at cnce."
Mcnamara, after referring the request
to Frank NJ. Ryan, president Of the Inter
national Association of Bridge and Struct-
ural Iron Workers, wired Clancy:
Better get man in Los Angeles TO
DO the work HocKin too busy In the
East"
1t was about this time. according to Or
tie h. McManigais confession, that Her
bert $. Hockln was leader OF the 'dyna-
miting crew
Clancy went to Seattle, and on August
l6, 1910. II. w. Pohlman. a labor leader
there, wrote TO j. J. Mcnamara
Clancy met his man here after wait
ing a week for him. and he. being here
every day, ! think | understand the situa-
ton"
James B. Mcnamara was then in Seat
tie. and the government charges that
Clancy met him there. On August 81 an
office building under construction in Seat
tie was blown up. At this time 900 was
voted by the ironworkers' union eXecu-
tive board TO the California Building
Trades Council for use in promoting the
union at Los Angeles A receipt for the
amount, signed by Olaf A. TvetmOe sec
retary of the council, was produced.
James B. Mcnamara In the mean time
visited San Francisco and later went TO
Los Angeles. where he blew up the Times
Building on October J. Clancy visited
Michael j. Young Boston, another de-
fendant but. according to telegrams, hur-
ried back TO San Francisco when he heard
twenty-one persons had been killed.
The government contends the corre-
spondence shows that McNamara's mis-
sion 10 the Pacific Coast was known 70

ton Of the eth Regiment. New York, may
be named by Governor Dix to succeed
Major General John r. Organ. recently
retired. according TO reports current here

tive he would not accept the Office OF
major general commanding the national
guard, In the event Of It's being offered

ton. IL was pointed out, was at the head
OF one OF the leading regiments Of the
National Guard OF the United States. and
to accept the major Yeneralship under the

fairs, IL was held would be foolish.
The Senate, pending a settlement Of the
