CHICAGO, April 24.-Jack Johnson
the negro pugilist, escaped easily when
tried on charges of smuggling in the
federal court this morning.
Johnson withdrew his former plea
of not guilty and pleaded note con-
tendre. He was fined $500 on each of
two counts.
The indictments charged that he had
struggled diamond necklace valued
at $4,000, which was confscated by the
authorities, and that he had concealed
the struggled property.
Four indictments charging snug
Cling were dismissed. Johnson was
present at the hearing and was pleased
with his easy escape. His white wife

Then Johnson started out for him.
self, after he thought he had learned
all he could get at Choyinski's. Tom
my Burns went down before the giant
negro in Australia and others followed.
Then came the historic battle with Jim
Jeffries at Reno and the former Gall
weston deck-hand was atop all the bat
tiers of the world. With success in
the ring came almost fabulous wealth
and the rompanionship of white ]
woman.
Johnson's first white wife was Eta
Duryea, the divorced wife of wealthy
Long Island clubman and hOrsenan.
For her, it is alleged, he struggled
the necklace from Paris. Though she
was showered with wealth. the I'M
happy woman found herself completely
ostractized by her own race and by
that of her black husband. There
were charges by the white girls
mother that Johnsons kindness at first
later turned to brutality. And then
one night the woman murmured a
little prayer for forgiveness and shot
herself through the brain.
Johnson gave her a costly, SNOWY
funeral. He professed to be greatly
saddened by the death-and within
week he was paying such attention to
Lucille Cameron, the eighteen-year-old
daugter of Mrs. Cameron Falconett,
of Minneapolis, that the mother APP
pealed to the federal authorities to
save this young white girl from the
hypnotic influence" of the black pugi-
list The mothers efforts and the eff
forts of the entire legal machinery OF
ever, and Jack Johnson, laughing at
the girls mother, made her his second
wife. Inquiry into JOhnson's relations
with the Cameron girl, following a
marriage attended by characteristics
showiness, revealed the fact that
scores of pretty white girls, hardly
out of their teens, had been habitues
of the negro's training quarters, and
that Lucille Cameron was only one OF
many of her race who had been drawn |
to the black fighter. The case of Belle |
Schneider was selected by the govern
ment on which to base its indictments. |
Belle Schrieber was but eighteen years |
old when she first took the Negroes
fancy. Thereafter she became his
travelling companion, the government
charges His treatment of her, the
government will charge, graded from
generosity to brutality, and the most
revolving forms of depravity. The girl
left Johnson after making trips be-
tween Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland,
New York, Atlantic City and Pittsburg
in 1910. These alleged trips are the
basis of the governments charge that
Johnson illegally transported girls
for immoral purposes.

to leave for Canada ito fill an engage

Critics of the bout agree that ii
was the most splendid exhibition of
the mat game ever staged in the

in and was said to be seven pounds
too heavy. But he agreed to let the
championship 90 with the referees

meet Yokel for the middleweight
crown. Negotiations are now in

GAMBLING WOULD
Be LOCALIZED BY
FUCKERS MEASURE

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. Feb. Senator Tucker
has introduced the same horse race
bill that went through the last legis-
lature after having been offered by
Senator Cornforth, but which lacked
the endorsement OF Governor Shaf-
roth. The governor refused 10 le-
galize gambling at horse races.
The Tucker bill provides for a
commission which is given power to
regulate race meetings and privileges
at such tracks as the commission
may designate. A companion bill al
so opens uD gambling on races at
country fairs.
Strong pressure is being brought
to bear upon members of the legis-
lature to pass these bills by certain
business interests. and il is believed
both measures will be enacted and
that they will become law. There
does not now seem to be as much OPP
position TO such a law as there was
two years ago.
A stringent marriage law will
be placed on the statute books of
Colorado if the bill offered by Rep
resentative w. II. Andrews is per-
mitted to run both houses uninter-
ruptedly. The bill designs to make
marriage in this state almost as diff
ficult as they were in England many
years ago. 1t provides for five days
notice being given before licenses can
be issued, and 80 days must elapse
before the marriage is performed.
Both parents must consent to mar
riage before il can take place Com
mon law marriages are made illegal,
A marriage ceremony to be legal un-
der the proposed new law, must be
performed by an officer authorized
by law. 1t will take away source
" revenue, from the preacher who
usually performs marriage ceremo-
nies. There is scarcely chance for
the bill to get through this legisla-
ture. Already there is much opposi-
ton to it in both branches of the
legislature.

LONE SINBAD MINER
STRIKES RICH ORES
AFTER LONG TOLL

Joseph Adams, the lone miner of
the SiHbad, who for Is years has
toiled nightly in his deep mine. is
gradually reaching very rich ore in
the tunnels and drifts, according to
word that reaches this city through
Gateway people, who are in a mea-
sure in touch with Mr.. Adams.
The miner is a remarkable man.
lie has bored the tunnel himself in
to the hardest rock. $40 feet, doing
The blasting, drilling and shoveling
unassisted. He lives in a little stone
hut, almost a cave dwelling, about
500 feet below the mine on the side
of the cliff and reaches his abode by
trail a quarter of a mile long.
For companions, Mr.. Adams, who
is a bachelor and past 80 years of
age. has a faithful collie dog and a
pack of 10 burros. Once every few
months he loads 80 or 40 sacks of
high grade ore on the burros and
makes a trip to Whitewater. to ship
the precious rock, which runs high
in gold, silver and copper. With the
returns from the ore and the help of
a moneyed friend in the east. he is
able to live comfortably and well in
his little rock home.
II is automatically reported that
Adams is encountering very rich ore
as he follows the vein down, and
some of it runs as high as $500 a
ton. He claims to have several
thousands dollars worth of the ore
on his dump at the present time.
Mr.. Adams has lived in the Sin
bad valley . miles southwest of this
city for almost two decades and still
keeDs in touch with the world by in
frequent mail service. He is a de-
vout member of the Episcopal church
and very religious man. His little
home is a mecca to all travelling that
way, and his untiring thrift and
persistence have won him the un-
stinted admiration of every one in
that region. The word that he is
striking rich ore steadily will be
good news to his many friends and
acquaintances and will still further
prove the value of the Sinbad as a
mining section. The Adams mine is
two miles north and east of the fa-
nous Pyramid properties.

ROADS WANT
TRESPASS|NG
. LAW PASSED

"A Denver, Feb. 7.-Ninety-five peo-
IpPe lS9re killed outright and ! l,2bl
We're injured on the railroads of Col
orado during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1912, according to reports
made by the railroads to the state
railway commission.
Fifty-two, or more than half of
those killed were neither employees
or passengers, but people who met
their deaths while trespassing with
out any right on the properties of
the railroad companies.
The railroads, in an effort to pre-
VENT this useless waste of life, are
supporting a bill introduced in the
legislature by Senator Van Tilborg
which makes trespassing on railroad
tracks misdemeanor punishable by
a fine, or imprisonment, or both.
The measure was framed to save
human lives and reduce the number
of accidents for which the railroad
companies are in no way responsible.
1t is considered humanitarian mea-
sure in which railroad officials and
employees and the public are alike
interested.
Officials of the railroad companies
say they have exhausted all means at
their command to prevent people who
have no right upon their properties
from walking along or upon the
tracks and station grounds. They
say they have been handicapped by
the lack of laws which provide for
the punishment of those who persist
in the practice. A desire to remove
this obstacle prompted Senator Van
Tilborg to introduce his bill.
The reports of the railroads to the
interstate commerce commission
show that out of 10, ,1S5 people kill
ed by the railroads of the country
during the past year, 5,434 or 53.3
per cent were trespassers. The fig
ures show that the percentage of
deaths among trespassers in Colora-
do was 54.94 per cent of the total, or
greater percentage than shown by
the country as a whole.
The number of trespassers killed
in the state during the year was al
most double the number of railway
employees who met death while en-
gagged in moving trains, cars or loco
motives. The figures show the ur-
gency of the measure which is now
pending before the lawmakers and
the necessity of the Legislators Civ
ing aid 10 the railroads in their eff
forts to prevent this needless waste
OF human lives.
