Charge OF Abduction Made.
On October i she swore out a war
rant charging johnson with abducting
Lucille. The girl was arrested, as
well as johnson. The girl was held
for grand jury investigation. The fed
eral authorities became interested.
The Cameron girl was sent before the
federal jurors. Evidence that she had
been brought into the state by John
son could not be obtained and the
abduction charge was shown to be
groundless and. was eventually dis

him in half a dozen cities and was
known as his wife. In Detroit, one
evening, after Johnson had been at

quareled with the Schneider girl. He
struck her, choked her and tore from
her ears the diamond ear rings he
had given her. 1t was in revenge for
this, and because of jealousy. 1t is
said, that she offered to come before
the federal grand jury.

sway less than three hours, nothing
but a heap of ruins remains to mark
the spot upon which many of Sheri-
dams most substantial business build
ings stood.
Hundreds of farmers, who heard OF
the fire on rural telephone lines or
saw the smoke and flames, drove to
the scene in automobiles or buggies,
and many were of great assistance in
aiding the bucket brigades. Frankfort
and Indianapolis were called on for
aid and both cities responded.
Firemen with chemical extinguish-
ers made the trip from Frankfort in
forty minutes in an automobile. A
special train conveyed an automobile

Jack Johnson Being Tried
For Alleged White Slavery

for immoral purposes, although there
was no intent to gain financially by
the transaction, is violation OF the
Mann act
Undoubtedly the negro's attorneys
will make a sensational attack on the
contention of the government, and the
fight against the constitutionality OF
the white slave act is expected to
bring out unusual points. In some
similar cases trial courts have held
that such interstate transportation is
not a violation of the act.
Supreme Courts Decision.
An appeal to the supreme court in
habeas corpus proceedings at the out
set of the johnson case, attacking the
constitutionality of the act was dis
missed without reviewing the law on
the ground that such questions should
first come up in the trial court.
The difficulties which eliminated in
the present trial of the negro bruiser
began after the champion decided to
open the Cafe de Champion, a saloon
and cafe, in Chicago. The doors were
swung open July II. Two months
later, September IL, Eta Duryea
Johnson, divorced wife of an eastern
society man, killed herself in her
rooms over this saloon. Johnson's
relations with other women about the
place are said to have been the chief
cause for her act.
The cafe became known as a resort
for whites and blacks. 1t was here
shortly after Mrs. Johnson's suicide
that Mrs. F. Cameron Falconet Of
Minneapolis, sought her daughter Lu-
Gle Cameron, and it was then, that
her name was first connected with
that of the negro. The cafe was clos
ed by the city in October.
After Johnson refused to tell the
girls mother where her daughter was
hiding, and after he is alleged to
have boosted to her that he could
"get any white woman he wanted"

CHICAGO, May SACK johnson,
the negro pugilist, was called to trial
before Federal Judge Carpenter today
on charges of violating the federal
white slave law.
Johnsons white wife, who was Lu-
cile cameron. 19-year-old Minneapolis
girl, was not in court. Johnson ap-
peared slightly nervous when the at
torneys began the questioning of the
veniremen.
Belle Schneider, the white manicur-
ist at a Milwaukee hotel and former
burlesque actress, who will be the
principal witness in the trial, was in
an anteroom guarded by deputy sher-
ifs. The government planned to call
her as the first witness.
Crowds of curious persons attempt
ed to gain admittance to the court
room, but they were barred after the
seating capacity had been filled.
"Yank'' Kenney, one of Johnson's
trainers for the Jeffries-Johnson fight,
also will take the stand against his
former negro friend.
Three Women Figure in Case
Three white women figure promi-
nently in the case. One of these, Eta
Duryea Johnson, former society lead
er of Brooklyn, is dead, suicide An
other, Lucille Cameron, is now the ne
gro's wife. The third, spurned after
the black had lavished gifts and ia
vors upon her, turned nemesis, fur
nished the evidence on which the in
dictments were based The woman,
Belle Schneider. who is alleged by the
government to have travelled about the
country with Johnson and to have
been known as his wife, will take the
stand to tell the story that will con-
vict him, if the government sustains
it's case.

matte story of the girl, lawyers who
have been watching the proceedings,

SHERIDAN'S BIG BLAZE.

SHERIDAN, Ind, May 5.-A dozen
persons were more or less seriously in
/ Jured and property loss of $4,000
sustained here Sunday by a blaze that
swept away two blocks and threat
ened the entire city.
A thirty-mile gale famed the flames
and caused them to spread rapidly.
Aid was called from neighboring
towns and from Indianapolis. Burning
bits of wood were carried hundreds
of feet and many incipient fires start
ed, but these were, for the most part,
extinguished without material loss
The entire population was soon out
assisting in fighting the flames and in
saving property from the buildings.
The blaze crossed Main street and
rapidly ate it's way through the build
ings on two blocks. Merchants on
the east side lost their all. Those on
the west side were able to save some
of their portable goods.
Two brick buildings in the path of
the fire, situated at some distance
from each other served to check the
tonrush of the flames and saved the
residence district beyond from them.
Bucket brigades were hastily organ
ized and men worked feeverishly to
prevent the spread of the flames.
Their task was almost hopeless, how
ever, because of the terrific wind
which carried the flames from one
building to another with incredible
swiftness.
Church 10 Burned.
Three blocks from the scene of the
fire burning ember carried by the
wind alighted on the roof of the Wes-
leyan Methodist church and before
the volunteer brigade reached the
flames from the main fire, it was total
ly destroyed. The parsonage which
adjoined the church, and which was
occupiew by TT Lee, pastor, was al
SO destroyed, the loss on the two
buildings being estimated at $1,000.
