The Federal authorities learned that
johnson left Chicago last night bouno
for Toronto, and it is believed they
feared he might have the intention
of jumping his bond on the white

couple of days.

when they were taken to the home OF

United States Marshal DeWoody, OF
Chicago comes to take them back to
Chicago. Johnson was under S35, ,OOC
bonds not to leave the State of Hi
nois pending the disposition of his
case for violating the white slave
laws.
Immediately after Johnson was
taken to the station, Detective Col
by tels,graphed U. S. Marshall De-
Woody. DeWoody said to hold John
son here until noon then he will ar
rive and take him back to Illinois.
johnson also called up DeWoody
a.d said that he didn't mean to leave
hadn't taken trunk with him and had
told his bondsmen that he was going
away for few days. But he could
not get DeWoody to order him turn
ed loose.
Chicago, Jan. 14.-Jack Johnson
will be brought back to Chicago and
lodged in Jail on a bench warrant
charging him with being a fugitive
from justice. according to Charles F
DeWoody, special agent of the depart
ment of Justice here.

out for Johnson as soon as he is

jail again before his trial comes up
He will be treated like any other Grim
inal who jumps his bond. He left
the state without any knowledge OF
the court and this time / think he
will go back to Jail for keeps"

Terrific Storms on the Atlantic.

New York, Jan. 14.-New tales OF
the terrific storms that have swept
the North Atlantic during the past
week reached port here yesterday, one
brought in by the battered Cunarder,
Csronia and another coming by
wireless and telling of the disablement
of the Hamburg-American freighter
steamer, Abyssinia, which broke down
in mi6-ocean and is now being lowed
to port by the White Star line freight
er Armenian.
According to the Caronia's comman-
dec, Capt. A. H. Rostron, the mar
iner who brought The Carpathia to
the rescue of the Titantic's surviv-
ors the voyage just ended was
the toughest he ever experienced. The
Caronia was struck by a hurricane
last Thursday and lhe battering of
the winds and seas continued with
urabated fury for more than two
day
The wind tore one of the big life
boats loose from the davibs, and, lift
ing it high in the air, bore it far out
inJo the sea. The waves reached such
gigantic proportions that the upper
decks of the ship were almost contIn-
ually under water.

COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT
Finance Committee Expected to Sub
nit Statement of City's None
tary Condition

The first regular meeting of the
CITY Council since December 10 will
be held tonight. A number of matters
will be submitted from committees,
but the business for the most part
will be of general nature.
The most interesting matter which
will come before the two branches
will be statement from Alderman
Field, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, concerning the cityis liabil-
ties and assets. provided the exhibits
can be prepared in time. 1t will be
remembered that at a recsnt meeting
attention was called to the fact that
it would be necessary for the city to
move slowly during the next six
months, or until the close of the pres
cnt fiscal year, as the active spirit
manifested for street improvements
during the past year had made it
necessary to negotiate loan of $40. :
600 for the purpose OF meeting cur
tent expenses up to June l, 1913.
While there was some disappoint-
ment on the part of some at the state
ment that the city would not be in con-
dition to- resume street work until
July /, those who have been enthu-
siastic for modern highways are con-
servative in their demands, and ac-
quiesce with Mr.. Field in the sugges-
ton that it would be we'll to wait un-
til the city could see it's way clear, or
until the promised financial statement
could be submitted before any expen-
sive movements are launched.
A vacancy exists in the Common
Council by reason of the resignation
of C. B. Swan, member from the
Fourth ward, who recently became a
resident of the First ward, which sc-
cording to law, renders his position
vacant. 1t is not known at present
who will be selected to succeed Mr..
Swan
Two other members of the lower
board have, according to this law dis-
qualified themselves to, act as Coun-
cilmen by reason of removal of their
residences. MessIS. Julian Y. Will
liams, who has removed from AleXan-
dria city to Alexandria county, and r.

FRENCH ELECTION
CAUSES ANXIETY
United Socialists May Elect
Their Candidates on
Friday Next.
CHAOTIC CONDITIONS.
Prince Urges Country to Return to
Napoleonic Regime-Several Dark
Horse sare in the Field.

Paris, Jan. 14.-The French Parlia-
ment re-opened this afternoon. Little
else was discussed but the presidential
election of Friday. The United Social
lists, with about $50 seats in the cham
Der held caucus and designated NJ.
Valiant, socialist leader in the cham
Der, as their candidate for president.
Chaotic was the only word adequate
10 describe the internal state of the
republican party in regard to the pres
idential election. With preliminary
balloting 10 begin today, in the domi-
nant wing of the Versailles special
Legislature, the republicans were split
in every direction. Loyal friends Of
Premier Poncare insisted that he
still was the favorite and would be
elected on Friday, while it was said in
other quarters that the Du Patty de
Clam incident and the resignation of
Minister Miller and had made it pos
sible to elect any member of the Poin-
care cabinet.
It was predicted that the "lefts" as
the dominant republicans are known,
would abandon NJ. Poincare and at
tempt to bring out NJ. Pama, Minister
of Agriculture. Others professed to
believe that the manifesto" issued by
Prince Victor Napoleon in which he
urged France to return to Napoleonic
methods, was an effort by the pretend
er to shy his hat into the presidential
ting. -
With the republicans divided, and
dozen clark horses" in the running
it was conceded that the Unified So
cialists have the chance Of their lives
to put over "a president. 1t was limited
by several newspapers that the Du
Patty de Clam affair was a clever
scheme put through by the socialists,
to discredit NJ Poincare and put con-
fusion in the ranks of the dominant
party.
The socialists have $50 votes in the
chambers. They cannot participate
it, the caucussing tomorrow and
Thursday, but they can caucus among
themselves and put forward candi-
date
Should the republicans be hopeless
lv deadlocked, the socialists might
have a chance with NJ. Valiant, their
leader in the chamber as their candi-
date.

PREPARING TO
RENEW THE WAR
Allies Insist on Adrianople
and Islands in Aegean
Sea.
PEACE LONG WAY OFF.
Young Turks Will Not Allow Cessa-
ton of Territory-Moslem Troops
Pouring Into European Turkey.

London, Jan. 14.-The peace dele
gates of all the Balkan states today
informed Sir Edward Grey, foreign
minister, that they were authorized to
terminate the arrnistice with Turkey
Immediately unless the Turks agreed
to the terms offered by the allies, in
cluding. the cession of Adrianople and
the Aegean Islands.
In diplomatic circles, the outlook
was admittedly dark. 1t was conceded
as probable that the Turkish Grand
council would declare for war as the
young Turk and militarist factions
were in the ascendence and the Grand
Vizier, Kiamil Pasha, could not well
oppose them without sacrificing his
ministry and perhaps himself.
With Turkey and the Balkan allies
openly preparing for further fighting
and the great powers hesitating and
differing among themselves it was ad-
.mitted that peace seemed a long way
off. Neither of the belligerents were
disposed Ito take the initiative in re-
suming the peace negotiations, yet all
were loathe to assume their respon'
sibility of renewing the war, because
the powers have made it plain that
they are opposed to further fighting
Constantinople, Jan. 14.-No word
of the proceedings of the grand coun-
cilS. called by kiamil Pasha, Grand
Vuisr, wa 81. made public today, but
from "a semi-oficial source it was
learned that the council would decide
for war.
The Grand Vizier, it is known, IS
not in favor of renewing hostilities,
knowing that the Turks are not an
much better condition than when the
armistice was signed, but the military
party and the Young Turks, who are
decided "jingoe:" are in control OF
the council.
It is said that the Grand Vizier,
should he so desire, could not surren-
der Adrianople to the allies. The
military party would Immediately
overthrow the ministry, and take the
goverRment into its own hands.
Thousands Of Turkish troops from
Asia Minor have been pouring into
European Turkey ever since the pro-
tocol was signed, and the militarists
believe that the Porte now is in shape
to defy the allies. Also, it is known
by the Turks that the powers are op-
posed 10 the resumption of hostflities.
It is believed to be Turkeys hope that
renewed fighting would provoke fore
IGN intervention that might get for
Turkey more favorable peace terms
than those now offered by the allies.
