JACK JOHNSON
IS CONVICTED
BLACK CHAMPION CONVICTED ON
ALL SEVEN COUNTS IN
INDICTMENT.
VIOLATED WHITE SLAVERY LAW
May Be Given Five Years In the Pen,
or Fined Ten Thousand DOL
lars, or Both.-Two
Charges Dropped.

Chicago.-Jack Johnson, champion
heavyweight fighter, was found guilty
of violating the federal white slave
law in transporting Belle Schneider
from Pittsburgh to Chicago in 1910.
He was convicted on all seven counts
in the indictment. The jury returned
its verdict after an hours consider
alton.
The maximum penalty under the
finding is five years Imprisonment or
$4,000 fine or both.
A motion of Assistant District At
torney Parkin that Johnson be order
ed confined in the county Jail was
overruled by Judge Carpenter and the
negro was released on bond of S10,-
600. A motion for a new trial was
filed at once and arguments on the
motion were set for May 10.
-Four ballots were taken by the jury,
the first having been four for acquittal
and eight for conviction.
Two counts of the indictment were
dismissed at the request of Judge Car
penter, who declared that no good
purpose could be served by exposing
the relations of Johnson and the white
woman, Lucille Cameron Johnson, his
present white wife, who did not ap-
pear in the court room at any time.
Only a few persons were in the court
when the verdict was read as an or
der of Judge Carpenter was made
that "scandlers" be barred from the
hearings.
Taking of testimony was ended aft
er the prizefighter had taken the
stand in his own behalf and denied
the statement of the Schneider wom-
an that he had paid for her trans
portation.
Johnson admitted on the stand that
he had sent the woman money in re-
sponse to her request by telephone,
but denied he had made any stipula-
tion that she should use it to come to
Chicago.
Suit for $63.5O was filed against
Johnson by an automobile company,
that Johnson had failed to
pay for goods he had purchased.

Presbyterlans Get ronether

Atlanta. Ga.-With highest officials
of the northern, southern, united and
associate reform Presbyterian churches
participating, and 1900 commissioners
OF these organizations, representing a
total membership of 100000 people
in attendance, ten-day session of the
"Pan-Presbyterian Pentecost" was be-
gun here. A spirit of intense enthusi-
asm marked the gathering which was
the first in the history of Presbyteri-
anism at which the four leading organ
izations Of the denomination have
jointly been represented. Frequent
references by speakers to a proposed
organic union of all Presbyterian or
ganizations were greeted with ap,
plause by the delegates.

The Tariff Scrap.

Washington. - Senator Simmons,
chairman of the finance committee,
and Senator Penrose, leading the re-
publican fight to refer the Underwood
bill with instructions for public hear
ings, delivered oratorical broadsides
against each other in the senate in
debate on the Penrose amendment.
Senator Penrose likened the secret
caucus on the tariff bill to "the meth
ods of the Spanish inquisition" and
brought laughter from both sides
when he described the caucus and de-
clared no one was present to witness
"the murder of American industry"
Senator Simmons declared that If
the democratic purpose to eliminate
hearings could be called rePTehensible,
it was the first time the democratic
party had copied the methods of the
republicans and he argued at length
why public hearings were not neces-
sary, averring that they were not
even demanded.

Frledmann License Protested.

WashiL gton.-Protest against SEN
ator Hughes bill to authorize a spe-
cial license to practice medicine in
the District of Columbia for DR.. Fried
mann was sent to congress by the dis
trict commissioners. The commission
ers insisted that the German physi-
clan, who claims to have discovered
a cure for tuberculosis should not be
allowed to practice in the District of
Columbia without submitting to the
usual test of qualifications prescribed
by law. THE efficacy of the system
of practice of the proposed licensee,"
the commissioners said, does not ap-
pear to be sufficiently established to
Justify a recommendation that he be
accorded the special exemption sought
in his behalf" They added that II
the bill should become law, it would
establish a precedent that might serl-
ously impair the administration of the
present statute.

ANOTHER STORM

TEN PEOPLE KILLED AND FOUR
TEEN INJURED IN THE
LATEST TWlSTER.
PROPERTY LOSS is $3.50, 900
Town of Seward Suffers Worst, With
Eight Deaths and 100000 Loss.
Omaha Barely Misses
the Tornado.

Omaha.-The tornado which swept
the southern part of Seward county
took a toll of ten lives, injured four
teen persons and destroyed property
valued at $250,0OO
The greatest destruction was at
Seward, where eight persons we're
killed and fourteen injured. At Nc
Cool Junction two deaths occurred.
The property loss in Seward is es
timated at 100000 The tornado ap
parently originated southwest of Nc.
Cool Junction and gathering force as
1t moved to the northeast struck with
full force at Seward.
The storm crossed this city near
the southern limits but its strength
had been so far spent that that the
damage done here was nominal. Many
Omahans sought refuge in cellars and
other places considered tornado proof.

RepubIIcans oppOsIna AppoIntment.


Washington. - Senate republicans
began their first big fight on Presi-
dent Wilson's nominations when the
appointment of w. j. Harris of Geor-
gia as director of the census, succeed
ing e. Dana Durand, was taken up
in executive session. For nearly five
hours the senate played at cross pur-
poses on the Harris nomination with
out going into a discussion of the
merits of the case.
Republicans forced roll call after
roll call on questions of procedure and
and in support of tactics which the
democrats termed dilatory. Motions
to put the nomination over were put
and defeated and finally when the
membership had dwindled TO almost
nothing adjournment was taken.
Republican leaders have served no
tice that they are to keep up the fight
against Harris until July at least
when Mr. DHrand has announced his
intention to quit. Under the senate
rules, there is no question of their
ability to flibuster to their hearts
content and If they are willing to go
into long executive sessions day after
day, they can prevent confirmation as
long as their talking powers last.

STEELE'S STORY
READ LIKE FICTION
Convicted Of BIackmaiI Ten Years
Ago and Asks to Serve
Sentence.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
CINCINNATI. o., March Throw
ing himself on the mercy of the court
Thomas Steele, a prominent attorney
of Columbus, Ohio, caused a sensation
today when he appeared before FEEDER
al Judge HOLSTER and asked that he
/ be sentenced for crime he was con-
victed Of ten years ago. The court
sentenced him to thirteen months in
! the Fort Leavenworth penltentiary.
Shortly after sentence was pro-
nounced, there came message from
the department of justice in Washing
! ton, asking that the execution OF the
| courts decree be deferred.
According to the story he told in
court today, he was forcibly placed on
1 a train and sent out of the city by per-
sons interested in keeping him away.
Three persons also made good the
4 bond OF $4,000 which was forfeited,
the court was told. Steele went to
Canada, where he entered into politics
and, according to his statements, has
attained position of influence in
high government circles in that coun-
4 try.
1t is said that the message from
Washington came as a result of the
pleas made by Canadian government
officials in his behalf.
