CAN'T GET JOHNSON FREED.
Two Other Attempts to Secure Bail
for Negro Pugilist Futile.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Another at
tempt to procure the release of Jack
Johnson failed to-day. Federal Judge
Carpenter denied a motion to reduce
the 100000 bond under which the
negro Is held on a charge Of violating
the Mann act. w. G.. Anderson,
Johnson's counsel, then said he would
offer new securities later in the day.
JohnsOn's attorneys later in the
day offered as bondsman a property
holder who could qualify for 500
900. When 1t was shown hat the
proffered bondsman was to be indem-
nified and paid for acting he was re-
fused.
"The government will fight any at
tempt to give an indemnity bond for
the defendant" said District AttOr-
ncy Wilkcrson.
No Reason for Release.
Washington, Nov. 14.-Pointing
out that violations OF the white
slave act are not cXtraditablc, Solic-
itor General Bullitt filed a brief to-
Ia declaring no reason exists why
lack Johnson, negro pugilist, confined
in jail in Chicago, should be admitted
to bail by the United States Supreme
Court.
The solicitor general said a guilty
offender might be quite willing to

ICE CRASHES DOWN;
MAN ESCAPES INJURY

Think of standing on the side walk

ice come crashing down along side OF
you and you will appreciate the feel
ings of couple of pedestrians who had
such an experience atnoon today, when a
large cake of ice fell from the top of
the L. S. McCabe and company build
ing to the ground beside them. Did
they run? Well, report has it that
they did not stop till they were
breathless from running, and then
they cautiously tip-toed back to see
who was shooting a cannon or some
such thing. Forced from its position on
the building by the weight of the
heavy snow, the ice crashed away
from the edge of the roof. Hundreds
of pounds of ice remained on the build
ing and It is to be dislodged in order
to protect the building and pedestrians.
Many other buildings in Rock Island
are covered with ice and owners are
paying men TO get up and wedge it
loose.

SUGGESTION OF
ARGUS FOLLOWED

Acting on the suggestion of The Ar
gus last evening, President H. A. Clev-
enstine of the Rock Island Business
Mems association today telegraphed
to Senators Cullom and Lorimer and
to Representative Mckinney asking
them to do all in their power toward
securing an appropriation which would
enable the government to continue the
operation of the small arms plant at
Rock Island arsenal. The kilograms
were all brief and to the point calling
attention of the law makers from this
district and state to the need of hasty
action in the matter
No communication has been for
warded thus far from the Rock Island
club, principally because President H
E Casteel is out of the city.
If the senators from this state and
Iowa can get an addition tackled on
tc the appropriation which is now be
fore the senate, it will mean the con-
tinued operation of the plant, other
wise, it is promised, the plant will
have to be closed in the fall at which
time the present appropriation will be
entirely expended. The house has
passed the bill with an appropriation
of 100000 for the manufacture
OF small arms. That amount
will suffice only to operate the
small arms plant at Springfield, Mass
during the coming year and it is no
believed that both places will be rur
under reduced forces.

ICE 40 INCHES THICK;
MAY DESTROY BRIDGE

Soundings were taken this morning
of the ice just above the Moline bridge
over Rock river and it was learned
that in some places the ice is 40 inches
thick. There is fear that when the
crystal breaks away that it will carry
the bridge with it. Because of the
thickness of the ice, there is little
probability that there will be a break
in it for many days.
The resiliency of the ice is such that
when three teams are crossing it, the
vibration makes it hard for man to
keep his feet.

RELIEF ARRIVES.
POSTAL INSPECTOR
IS VISITOR IN CITY

Captain z. L. West, superintendent
Of the railroad mail service was in the
city today looking over the local mail
situation. The severe weather lately
has caused much delay in the postal
service and Captain West is giving the
matter his personal attention. He has
spent the past week in northern Iowa
where he found that despite the fact
that the railroads were attempting TO
keep on schedule there was unavoid-
able delay. The mails are unusually
heavy for this time OF the year and
this augments the difficulty. Accord
ing TO Captain West, the heavy mail
service is sign of prosperity, a sign
that business is increasing. The post
office department is the pulse of the
people and evidently good times are
on the way.
