JACK JOHNSON IS READY FOR
 TRIAL
Negro Has Spent $2o,ooo in Vain At tempt to Have Indictments Against Him Dismissed by
 the Courts.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 25.-After spending an amount estimated at s2O,OOO and carrying his case to the supreme court of the United States in a vain effort to have the indict- ment against him dismissed, Jack Johnson, the negro champion pugil- ist, was arraigned in the United States district court in this city today to stand trial on charges of violating the Mann white slave act.
 Johnsons troubles originated in his open defiance of public sentiment following the death of his wife, a white woman, who committed sui eide last summer. Within a few days after the burial of his wife the neg TO was reported to have lavished her diamonds and other jewelry on Lu- cile Cameron, white girl, whose mother came from Minnesota and made futile efforts in and out of court to end her daughters intimacy with the pugilist.
 The action of the negro in marry ing the Cameron girl in open def- ance of the pleadings of her mother aroused public sentiment in Chicago to a high pitch. Johnson's cafe !i- censes was revoked by the authorities and officers of the department of justice immediately took steps to prosecute the negro for alleged vio- lations of the white-slave law. John sons marriage is not expected to weaken the case of the governm ent, since it is understood that the charges are based upon the negro s alleged relations with Bell Schrieber a white woman, whom he is charged with having brought from Pitts burg to Chicago. It is understood that the Schrieber woman will be one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution.

Middle Names Once ILLEGAL.

! People have not always been allow
F, ed the pleasure of having as many
names as they wished; indeed, four
hundred years ago not even middle
name was allowed in England 1t was
| illegal. The old English law was def
| mite and admitted of no inffaction of
its ruling. The only exception made
to this iron-clad regulation was in the
ease Of persons of royal rank. If they
really wished it they could boast a
middle name. but woe TO the person
of ordinary rank who was sufficiently
unwisc or obstinate to insist on hav-
ing more than two appellations.
| For the first offence he would very
| likely be tied to a whipping post and
severely lashed For second offence
he would endure some more lasting
punishment, perhaps the removal of
his thumbs or ears. And if he still
persisted in his stubbornness he would
be hanged.
There is a case on record of poor
man--in all probability half demented
who insisted on signing four names
every time he wrote his signature to
any paper. OF course he passed
through all the legal stages of punish
ment until he was finally hanged

big meets. The same is true of the
Illinois A. c., Missouri A. c.. and the
Western Rowing Club of st. Louis and

Langford is guaranteed a lump sum
and a percentage of the receipts for
his appearance, Woodman says.
The Boston heavyweight was de-
feated by Johnson seven years age and
since has been seeking another bout
with the champion Johnson's report
ed need of money and the fact that
proposed bouts with white men in
Paris and London have been frowned
upon are the reasons. in Woodman' s
opinion, that resulted in the match
being made.
