JACK JOHNSON FORFEITS
HIS $50, 900 BOND

Chicago, Oct. 13.-United States
Judge Carpenter today declared for
feited the s30.0 personal bond OF
Jack Johnson, the negro heavy
weight prizehghter, put up when he
appealed his white slavery case.
The case was called in the federal
court this morning, and the bond
was ordered forfeited when the negro
failed to appear.
BENJAMIN Bachrach, Johnson's at
torney, requested continuance of
the case, saying he was convinced
the colored man would return after
finishing his vaudeville engagements.
Judge Carpenter, however, refused
to entertain the request.
United States District Attorney
Wilkerson announced that ne would
proceed at once to recover the for
feited $50 900 bond by seeking judg-
ment on saloon property offered as
security. He said he might request
that the French government recog-
nize any. judgment obtained in the
American courts and levy against any
personal property the negro fighter
may have in France. Wilkerson said
he thought France would acquiesce.

way of telling some plain truths
which if said by another might not
have the desired effect. In his
speech at the commercial club on
Friday night this disciple of progress
not only told many things which
made his hearers swell with pride
but he told them some truths which
pointed the way to future improve
ment. In introducing the speaker,
Mr.. Blanchard spoke of him as the
living exponent of optimism" and a
physician and surgeon of municipal
diseases, which phrases were emin-
emily suitable to this man who has
made a study of municipal progress
for many years.
Mr. Richardson pointed out the
fact that Oregon this year has the
greatest crops in its history and they
are bringing the best prices. The
Oregon apple, which has been rele-
gated to the background for the past
year, has again taken front rank and
is gaining its place as staple. The
Rogue River valley climate is always
with us. the best all-the-year-round
climate to be found in any country
on earth. He said II we had nothing

Enthusiasm was let loose at the

when Tom Richardson, who is know
all over Oregon, was introduced anC
commenced practical, sensible
speech, after he had set the company
roaring by story that was not only
new but had the added distinction Of
being really funny. The lunch was
the first business of the 6S or ~
business men present, but when R. E.
Kroh, after few words, called upon
Mayor Smith to introduce Tom Rich
ardson, interest was diverted, and
when Richardson began his speech
the remaining courses of the lunch
received scant attention
Mr. Richardson spoke of the vast
number Of people from all over the
world who would visit the greatest
exposition the world has ever dream
ed of In 1915, and pointed out the
fact that California was attempting
to prevent the visitors from coming
to Oregon and northern points, and
that there was an opportunity for Sc
curing large percentage OF the
travel, but that an effort must be
made to secure it.

The appalling death-rate from

fact that the little kidney troubles

often give place to chronic disorders

complaint.

500 MEN AND BOYS
ENTOAIBED IN MINI

Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 14.-Five hun.
dred and sixty men and boys were
entombed tonight in the Universal
coal mine at Singhenydd, ten miles
from here.
1t was certain that many of them
we're already dead. OF saving those
who still lived there was no hope
whatever. The timbering inside the
entire mine was burning, forcing the
abandonment of rescue work at Z
p. m.
That any of the men would be
burned to death, however, was deem
ed unlikely. The fire had reached
the intake air shaft and it seemed
certain that long before the flames
could reach them they would have
died painful but still comparatively
merciful deaths by suffocation.
The ire followed a gas explosion
just after the day SHIFT OF miners had
descended the shaft this morning. Ae-
cording 10 official figures there were
9Sl men in the mine when the blast
occurred.
1t was SO violent that several men
were killed at the surface, one man
20 feet away from the shaft entrance
having his head torn from his body.
Aroused by the terrific crash of
the explosion, the members of the
night shift OF miners were speedily
on the ground almost to a man, vol
unteering their services for rescue
work.
The ventilating and hosting ma
chinery had been completely wreck
ed, however, so that much difficulty
was experienced in even entering the
mine.
A way into the workings was final
ly found through an adjacent shaft.
but even then rescue work was car
ried on under circumstances of the
greatest danger.
BY desperate exertions S7l of the
men in the mine at the time of the
explosion were gathered together,
however, and brought to the surface
before the fire had gained such head
way as to driye out the rescue par
ties.
Many OF the rescuers wept In their
grief at being compelled to abandon
the imprisoned men to their fate,
and some had to be dragged out for
chilly, so determined were they to
continue their efforts even IL their
own lives paid the forfeit.
OF those who were rescued many
of the miners were badly burned and
some probably will succumb to their
injuries.
AS has happened before In Eng
land, the mine owners were talking
tonight of sealing up the mine as a
means of smothering the fire, argu-
ing that, as the men inside can not
be saved in any event there is no
reason why their property, too,
should be sacrificed. II seemed
doubtful however, II public opinion,
which has been outraged in this way
in the past almost beyond endurance,
would permit such step.
Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 14.-At least
100 were known this afternoon to
be dead as a result Of the explosion
in the Singhenydd mine. According
to official figures 931 men descended
the shaft before the explosion. At
3 p. m, 81 had been brought to the
surface, most OF them badly and
some fatally burned officials of the
mine admitted that the number OF
deaths might reach 200. They es-
timated that $50 men were still en-
tombed alive and, though they said
they hoped to rescue them, admitted
that the work would be extremely
hazardous.

Topie.-Mission Work at Home and
Abroad-vl. Missionary Tours.-Aets xy
s6-4l; xvi, les. Edited by Rev Sherman
Ii. Doyle. y. y.
Christian missionary tours began
with Christ Himself. No sooner had
He entered upon His public ministry
than He made tour from Jerusalem
TO Galilee. the principal incident of
which on the way was the conversion
of the Samaritan woman. Nor did He
limit Himself in His missionary labors
to Palestine. but upon one occasion at
least visited the region OF Tyre and
Sidon-a foreign missionary tour. In
addition to His own lahors He sent cut
the seventy upon missionary journeys
and later ON the twelve apostles. Thus
by example and precept He taught His
disciples to so from place to place to
preach repentance OF sins and the glad
tidings of salvation.
The example OF Christ in making
missionary journeys has always been
followed by His disciples. Beginning
with Penteeost, the apostles first
preached in Jerusalem.
Then after the marty riom of Ste
phea they went throughout all Judea
and Galilee and to foreign lands.
Through Saem the gospel was carried
into Syria, Africa, Arabia and tradi-
ton says as far as India. From Anti
och, in Syria, Paul, the apostle TO the
gentiles. began his great missionary
journeys. He took charge Of no def
mite field OF labor. but went from place
to place. preaching in synagogues, in
private homes and upon river banks.
gathering the people together and or
ganizlng the converts into churches
and then passing on to other places of
missionary endeavor.
The missionary tour Is an important
factor In modern missions. 1t Is i'm
possible to permanently locate Chris
tian missionary in every town and city
In heathendom: therefore stations are
established, and from these stations
the missionaries make tours 70 the sur
rounding villages, towns aud cities.
The meetings are usually held upon the
crowded thoroughfares, and the people |
gather in multitudes to hear the gospel !
in sermon and In song.
In this way the gospel is spread
abroad, anu as soon as possible definite /,
organizations are made. Native Chris !
tians are of great service in missionary |
towns. They understand the manners |
and customs Of the people. tell the |
story of their conversion. distribute
Bibles and other Christian literature /
and visit the people in their homes. |
as do the missionaries themselves. 1
Such temporary tours are but the SOW |
ing Of the seed. but subsequent events |
prove how often the result Is an abun- |
