to President Wilson's relations with
the senate and compared them with
conditions when President Buchanan
and Senator Douglas Joined issues.
He said in part:
Senator Douglas signalled his en-
trance to the United States senate by
a break with the president of the Unit

demanded the distribution of public
Offices in support of his policies.
President Buchanan differed from
Douglas and permitted the patronage
to be used against Douglas.
President Wilson presents the op

good above the public office and de-
clines either to give out offices to SEN
ators as compensation for their sup
port or to penalize those who oppose
him by denying them public patron

Black Prize Fighter, Under

washington, June 27-'Jack'' john
son has made good his escape from the
United States for the time being at
least and can neither be eXtradited nor
deported from Canada, according to the
latest official view here.
Johnson, it had been learned, is trav-
cling on a tourist ticket and Canada
cannot return him because her immi-
grafton law does not exclude a tran
sient alien in such circumstances.
Johnson's Offense is not extra ditabIe in
Canada.
Officials here were making an eff
fort today to have the negro returned
to this country under Canada immi-
grafton laws but it has failed.
If the United States circuit court Of
appeals sustains Johnsons conviction,
his one year sentence for violating the
white slave law will be enforCible any
time he returns TO the United States.
