LUCILLE CAMERON IN JAIL

Chicago. Nov. SACK Johnson,
champion heavyweight prize hgnter'
was arrested by federal ofhcers mere
charged with violation OF the Mann
act. His arrest followed the return
by the federal grand jury of an indict-
ment charging him with having caused
the transportation of Belle Schrei per,
a white woman. 26 years old, from
Pittsburg to Chicago, August 10, 1910,
for an unlawful purpose.
Federal officers searched the south
side several hours before johnson was
found hiding in a hotel surrounded Dy
four negro guards.
An attempt was at first made by the
guards to prevent the officers from
entering Johnson's rooms, but they
were pushed aside and the government
warrant was served on the prize 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 am
not going to run away" he said 1T m
square, you ought to know that
His Mother Signs Bond.
His bonds had been fixed at $4,000,
but all the federal judges had left the
building for the night. Johnson ana
his attorney attempted to obtain
bonds but for a time IL 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 formal
ity of accepting bail Finally Johnson
found court clerk willing to act and
the prize fighter was taken to the
home of his aged mother on the south
side who along with several others
signed the bonds and Johnson was re-
leased from custody.
Johnson was indicted on four counts
and his bail fixed at $4,000 by United
States Judge lands.
The specific case against Johnson
was in connection with his alleged re-
1ation with Belle Schneider. Pitts
burg, Pa, white girl, in August, 1910.
Lucille Cameron, with whose abduc-
as a witness in SIS, 600 bonds
Johnson is said to have induced the
Schneider girl TO come to Chicago.
Refuses Bond for Witness.
After Max and David Weber had
offered a $4,000 bond for Miss Cam
eron, Judge Lands refused to accept
it. He gave no explanation for his
refusal. Plans were made to return
Miss Cameron to Rockford, where she
has been held in Jail.
Soon after disposing of Miss Cam
and left instructions that he should
not be called during the night.
Thought Girl in Australia.
Johnson admitted that he knew Miss
Schneider but declared ne never had given
her transportation from Pittsburg to CHI
cago.
''This Is one case where I can prove my
innocence by a hundred Witnesses" he
said.
Johnson was surprised when he learned
that the Schneider girl had testified
against him. He had believed her to be in
Australia. She is being held at a hotel by
government agents and no one is per-
mitted to see her.

like The FOREIGN
Tendency to Initiate Old COun-
try Is Seen.
Impossible to Do Things the
Old World Way.

"The attraction of the foreign is al
ways very strong" declared DR.. David
Eugene Smith, of Columbia university,
in an address Thursday afternoon in
the high school auditorium, therefore
when we talk about European educa-
ton we need to be on guard lest this
ancient temptation to exalt the foreign
shall gain mastery of our better judg-
ment."
DR. Smiths subject was ''Mathena-
tics at Home and Abroad" and he
drew most interesting comparisons.
I'VE would like to have fuchsia trees
from Ireland, German castles on the
Kaw and velvet lawns from England, .
he said, but these things are impossi-
BILE. In the same way, we cannot have
many educational advantages that they
possess; we cannot lengthen our school
year and day gecause of climatic con-
ditionS; we cannot select pupils be-
cause of democratic conditions-can-
not begin secondary mathematics be-
cause of administrative conditions and
cannot secure highly-trained teachers
because of social conditions.
I'VE can, however, train our teach
ers better, begin our secondary educa-
ton earlier, differentiate our courses
more scientifically; use our textbooks
more nationally and relieve ourselves
of the odium cast upon US by foreign
teachers Of doing our Work superficial
Iy."
r. P. Halleck, Ii. D., of Louisville,
KY, spoke most entertainingly on the
"Elizabethan Age of Adolescence
THE four fundamental possessions OF
every child" said he, ARE spontaneous
initiative, ingenuity, longing and a sense
of humor. A sense of humor will save a
person almost as quickly as New Testa-
ment doctrine"
AS the meeting was especially for
teachers of high school and college de-
partments, DR.. Halleck spoke par
ticularly of the child approaching high
school age. He said, in part: "A cheer
full atmosphere is unusually important
for an adolescent school. Psychology
has proved that a cheerful person is
more 'suggestible.' He learns and acts
quicker Ingersoll once said: IF were
the good God, I should make health as
catching as disease That is precisely
what God dill. The smile of a teacher
is even more infectious, more powerful
than his frown. From an adolescent's
admiration to his imitation is the short

WOLV ERTON TO co
HighIanders to Have New
Leader in 1913, the Report.
Frank Chance May Be Next
Manager of Club.

New York, Nov. S.-Harry Wolver-
ton will not manage the New York
American League club in 1913. Owner
Frank J. Farrell is now casting about
for a successor to the luckless Cali
fornia leader, who brought the i'll
favored Kilties home in last place
during the 1912 campaign. The head
announcement that Wolverton is
through with the local club.
The secretive attitude of the owner
of the local American Leaguers indi-
Gates some sort of trouble in the club
affairs. When Wolverton took charge
of the High1anders a year ago after
Hal Chase had fallen down on the as
signment, he signed a two years con-
tract. Having served but half of this
for any one to turn him out.
President Ban johnson of the Amer
lean League is very stern in the mat
ter of all parties of his league living
up to contract terms. Wolverton
might have insisted upon another
years trial. That he did not indi-
Gates come compromise of a voluntary
severance of the contract by the last
leader of the hill top tribe.
It has been rumored for some time
that Wolverton might go. When
Charles w. Murphy split with Frank
Chance, the wise ones connected Far
rell with an effort to bring the peer
less leader" here. That would neces-
State some diplomacy, of course, as
Chance is at present a National League
chattel.
1t is a cinch that Farrell has not
cut loose from Wolverton blindly, and
Harry's successor is big Lacquer of

Sophomore in Wilson's Old Room
Becomes Object of Interest.

Princeton, Nov. s.-With the election
of woodrow Wilson as the twenty
eighth president of the United States
a great many things in Princeton have
assumed a historical value. Chief
among these is the room occupied by
woodrow Wilson, Princeton 1879.
Valcoulon Ellicott, the Princeton So
phonlore, who now occupies room No.
7, in Witherspoon hail. did not know
when he got it that it was historic.
When he put a black coat of paint
on the mantel and puttied up its vart-
Gus carving Of initials and records of
athletic victories, he fears that he
covered up the initials Of IT. W. W.,
TO" for it was as Tommy" w. Will
son that the president-elect was known
in his college days. 1t is said he later
dropped the first name SO as to have
a name of 13 letters because he believed
IS a lucky number
No initials can be found. however,
that mark the one time presence OF
Wilson, the undergraduates. College
flags and the decorations of another
age adorn the halls, but above the
study desk is g campaign drawing Of
woodrow Wilson with his signature on
it.
He Got 1t by Chance.
at suppose woodrow Wilson never
dreamed said ElHcott today as he
showed his room to number of visi-
tors, that above the spot where he
studied there would hang some day a
picture of himself, the president elect
Of the United States"
Ellicott's mother is an intimate
friend of Mrs. Wilson and was the
president of the Women's Wilson and
Marshall club of Baltimore. When Mrs.
Wilson visited Baltimore recently she
