REFUSE TO LET JOHNSON
US. District Attorney Wilker-
son today refused to accept $25,-
600 cash bail from Jack Johnson
for the release of Lucille Gamer
on, the white girl who is in love
with Johnson.
The girl is held as a witness in
the West Hammond Jeanette
Dorr white shaving case.
Wilkerson told Johnson that he
was under suspicion in the case
and that if he put 81 100000 bail
he could not get the release of the
girl.
The girl will be brought before
the federal grand jury and there
asked to testify. Federal agents
expect to arrest Jeanette Dorr in
Denver today.
After the refusal of cash bail,
Johnson engaged Attorney Rob
ert Cantwell. Cantwell went be-
fore Federal Judge Carpenter and
asked for writ of habeas corpus
for the release of the girl.
Carpenter fatty refused to hear
arguments on the motion, saying
they would be useless anyway as
the girl had to testify before the
grand jury.
Lucille Cameron now is in
Rockford, III. She will be brought
before the grand jury tomorrow.
District Attorney Wilkerson
said he expected Johnson to try

in condemnation of his actions in

him several times yesterday.
Johnson now is under bond to

REALITY OF THE AMAzoNs.
Relics of Women Fighters Of High
Rank In Olden Times.

The tradition of the AmaZons, val
liant race of women warriors, was n
favorite one with the writer's and art
lists of ancient Greece. but 1t has been
generally trented in modern times ms a
poetic myth. Now comes an interest
ing ar,hae illogical discovery which
makes II appear certain that there
were indeed women fighters of high
rank in the old days.
There was recently uneartlcd sep
ulchre in the part of Italy once known
rs Etrura In which was found war
chariot OF bronze and iron and crouch
ing in II the skeleton of II woman.
There were about her not only the re-
mains of rich robes and beautiful or
"aments of gold and ivory. nttesting
truly feminine vanity. but also the
same weapons which the ancient ira
1itions say the Amazons used in battle.
The bronze work and the terra Gotta
vDses definitely fixed the date of the
tomb MT about 900 d. G.
The earliest accounts Of the Ama-
IONS located them In the northeast part
OF Asia Minor, but Etruria was peO-
pied from Asia Minor and had attained
II high degree of skill in certain of the
arts long before Rome was founded
Such evidence rs this tomb affords ia
more convincing than the pictures of
AmaZons on the old vases or such leg
ends as that Of Queen Penthcsileia.
