JOHNSON GETS PRISON Term
pUGILlsT FINED $1,000 AND GIVEN
YEAR IN JAIL.
Convicted Of Violation Of the Mann
White Slave Act-Given Two
Weeks Liberty.

Chicago, June 6.-Jack Johnson,
champion heavyweight fighter of the
world, has been sentenced to one year
and one day in the state penitentiary
at Joliet and fined $1,000 for violation
of the Mann white slave act.
Sentence was pronounced on John
son after Federal Judge Carpenter had
denied a motion for new trial, made
by counsel for the negro. johnson OBJ
tanned two weeks time in which to
prepare a writ of error and the bond
for 100000 on which he has been at
liberty since his conviction, was al
lowed to stand.
Half a dozen deputy United States
marshals, who had grouped themselves
about johnson in anticipation of re-
sistance when the prison sentence was
given, left the room when Judge Car
penter announced that the fighter
could continue temporarily at liberty.
The sentence to the state peniten-
tiary is the result of recent order
from Washington that all persons con-
victed in the federal court in this dis
trict should be sent to the state pris-
on, owing to the crowded condition
of the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth, Kansas.
Johnson left the court room, declar-
ing that he would not give up his
fight for liberty, and that if the writ
of error were denied he would make
further appeals.
The arguments for a new trail came
up as a surprise. The case had not
been set previously, and the proceed
ings began with the unexpected ap-
pearance in the court room of john
son and his lawyer.
at has been hard to determine
what punishment should be melted out
in this case," said Judge Carpenter.
1--WE have had many cases where VIOLA
tions of the Mann act have been pun
ished with fine only. We have had
| other cases where defendants have
been sentenced to one or two years
in the penitentiary.
"The circumstances in this case
have been aggravating. The life Of
the defendant, by his own admission,
has not been moral one. The defen-
dant is one of the best known men of
his race and his example has been
I far-reaching.
"The sentence shall be that the de-
| PENDANT shall be confined year and a
day in the Joliet penitentiary and that
he shall be lined $1,000.
The court denied request of coun-
sci for Johnson that the negro be al
lowed to serve the term in the city
Bridewell instead of the States pris-
on
Johnson was convicted May 10 of
having paid for the transportation of

WOULD LEVY SPECIAL EXCISE
GRADUATED TAX PLANNED ON
TOBACCO AND SNUFF.
Would Reach Manufacturer When He
Controlled rs Per Cent Of Trade
The Revenue Feature.

Washington, June Z. - In accord
with suggestions of Attorney General
McReynolds, Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska introduced an antitrust
amendment to the Underwood tariff
bill which would levy special addi-
tional excise tax on a sliding or grad
uated scale upon manufacturers OF to-
bacco, cigars, cigarettes and snuff.
The amendment, coming from Dem.
ocratic member, will receive thorough
consideration from the finance COM
mittee.
The progressive excise tax proposed
would not reach manufacturer until
he controlled about % per cent of the
total production of the articles.
Over that amount he would be taxed
in rising scale on tobacco, one cent a
pound for the first million pounds per
quarter, two cents a pound for the
second million pounds, and so on up
to six cents pound. These gradu
ated taxes would be in addition to the
regular eight cents a pound tax that
all manufacturers pay on tobacco.
The same is true Of the progressive
YAK on cigars, cigarettes and snuff.
Companies of ordinary size would
got be subject to this tax because it
loes not apply to a production below
eighty million pounds of tobacco or
four million pounds of snuff a year,
20 that of the 1900 tobacco compa-
aies in the country probably only
,hree would be affected and of the Is
snuff companies also only three would
oe taxed.
In the matter of cigarettes the tax
| would only fall on two or at most
.hree companies out OF Ats and of the
10000 cigar companies only two have
| 4 product large enough to be taxed.
| Seventy million dollars was the
amount of the total excise last year
IN tobacco products and Senator
Hitchcock has estimated that if the
proposed tax had been levied on last
years business, 'the following trust
concerns" would have paid the addi.
tional tax as follows:
american Tobacco company, ST.,
! 100000; Liggett and Meyers, 3,100,
| WV, LOA lAAtAAu SOA4PeAAJ3 PII1,VOo
American Snuff company, $4,000;
George w. Helm company, $4,000;
Weyman and Burton company, SOL,
0OO There would also have been 9th
er companies subject to this tax if il
could be shown that they We're under
the same ownership or control as any
of the big companies" said Senator
Hitchcock yesterday, land in the case
of the Lorillard company it would be
subject to much higher rate of tax
alton if it could be shown that it il
owned or controlled by the same in
terests that are back of any othel
company.
ut is probable, therefore, tina
this tax in the aggregate would reacl
100000 a year, which is so larg'
that it would soon cause real disso
luton of the tobacco trust. If it di'
not it would yield a handsome revenue
to the treasury and so handicap tn
trust that it could not carry out it
program of crushing Independent CON
panies.'

SWEEPING INQUIRY .
IS DECIDED UPON

FLUENcE LEGISLATION TO
BE INVESTIGATED.
COMMITTEE VERY Determined
Lobby" Probe So Extended That
Members Do Not Know When
1t viii Be Ended-NeW
Move Monday.

Move Monday.
Washington, June 1.-THE senate
lobby" investigating committee has
decided to extend it's present inquiry
into a sweeping investigation OF all or
ganized efforts that have been made
to influence action upon legislation of
any kind now pending before congress
or under consideration in the recent
past.
This action was determined upon
after several senators had added to
the testimony already given tending
to show that we'll organized and Wig
orous work is being done by CONNER
cial interests upon the sugar, wool
and other tariff issues.
To Subpoena Many.
The committee decided to subpoena
practically all persons thus far men,
toned by senators, as amongst their
tariff callers and to learn the exact
nature of all organized work that is
being directed toward influencing any
member of congress upon any sub
ject.
The efforts of the committee will
be centered first upon the sugar fight;
next upon wool and after that full
investigation will be made that will
take in the activities of prohibition
and liquor 'lobbies," the Alaskan rail-
way forces, labor unions, farmers pro-
tective organizations and practically
all other organized bodies that have
carried on publicity campaigns, END
less chain" letter writing or other
means of influencing members of the
senate or house.
Senator Overman, chairman of the
committee, stated that the investiga-
ton had already established the fact
that powerful influence was welded Oh
senators by the organized forces con-
| Quoting campaigns to mold or in
fluence public opinion. This, he said,
constituted new style lobby Of
tremendous power.
End Not in Sight.
The decision of the committee has
so broadened the scope of it's work
that the members do not know when
the inquiry can be concluded. The
ten-day limit fixed by the Cummins'
resolution will expire tonight, but Sen.
| ator Overnan will ask the senate to
give him unlimited time for the probe.
Thus far only senators have been ex-
amined, the senate list just having
been finished
New Phase Monday.
The next phase of the situation will
be taken up Monday with the calling
of the first men identified with the
free sugar and anti-free sugar cam
paign. Names given by President Will
son, others furnished by the members
of the senate on the witness stand
and still others that have been sent
to Senator Overman by outside par.
ties, constitute the list of these who
have been or will be subpoenaed.
Members of the senate have almost
unanimously testified that no improper
methods have been used to influence
them and that the men who have
called upon them are not lobbyists
in the sense that that term is gen
orally used The committee found il
impossible, last night, however, to de
fine a "lobbyist' or to fix a limit tt
it's investigation. 1t was determined
therefore, to investigate everything
that shows any sign of having beer
an organized or prearranged plan tt
influence any congressional action.
