NO FIGHT At JUAREz
Johnson Refuses to Meet Jess
Willard in Mexico.
MAY BATTLE AT HAVANA
White Hope" Ready to Go Any
where to Get in Ring With
the Champion.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
Ell PASO Tex, March 6.-It is set
tied beyond all doubt that Jack John
son will not come to Juarez to fight
iceived here today by L. Lawrence
Weber from Jack Curley. who has been
in Havana for week or more en-
deavoring to persuade the ring cham
pion to leave the Cuban capital.
This means if there is / fight it goes
TO Havana.
Curley has been able to show John
son every possible assurance under ex-
listing circumstances that he will not
be molested coming into Mexico or
leaving that country by way of Tampi-
co as, according to the representative
business men Of Ell Paso and an officer
of one of the largest banks here, there
has been an influential agent in Tam
pico for several weeks ready to show
Johnson how it could be done.
The only conclusion the promoters
have arrived at concerns Johnson's
fear to enter the warning republic to
the south or that he is afraid to meet
Willard and. is using the former alter
native as a subterfuge. to evade the
match. This.is. hardly credible In spite
Of. the splendid condition Willard has
displayed. but as the guarantee Is
ready for Johnson. together with the
cles of agreement. no one can make
lany other Deductions.
On the other hand the promoters also
have received private advices to the
effect that the mixed race question
will not comprise the basis OF any op-
position to match for the world s
championship at Havana, and from this
writing it is not unlikely that. it may
vet be pulled off there. Weber is
awaiting further cable advices from
Havana concerning terms and con-
ditions and Willard is quoted today as
saving that he would go anywhere to
fight the negro, as he is confident of
wrestling the championship from him.

ever one player stood between Connie

third baseman, but alluded to just now
as simply citizen of Trappe, Md. Par
tisans of the Boston Red Sox. and many
there are who have picked the Huh
city team to romp away with the 1915
bunting, may take objection to this as
sertion. Be their rebuttal as it may
the fact remains that Mack players in
training here are confident they would
share in the coming October spoils il
the Maryland mauler were on the jot
with his f1fty-two ounce Louisville
slugger.
Whatever the opinion of Boston fans
as regards the Red Sox's chances foI
the flag. it is a foregone conclusion
Bill Carrigan's men would rather see
Connie Mack's team take the field OF
hostilities next month with Baker still
intrenched on his Maryland farm than
in the vicinity of Shibe Park.
From the raw to the finished product
is the transformation demanded of
Mack. This applies, at least, to the
development of his pitchers. In the
matter of filling Collins shoes around
the keystone sack there is Larry
Lajoie. who returns to the domicile of
Mack after playing against him for
thirteen years. If the veteran Lajoie's s
enthusiasm over returning to the
Philadelphia base ball elite and his de-
termination to make the fans more or
less forget Collins is realized then
Mack has solved this problem.

POISONED TONIC VICTIMS
Mrs. Farrell's Condition Unchanged
and Doctors Optimistic Regard
ing Effect of Accident

The condition OF Mrs. May Farrell. who
drank some nerve tonic with which BIZ
chloride of mercury had been accidental
ly mixed, was said TO be unchanged at
the Jefferson Hospital today. It is not
believed that she is in serious danger.
More than 25 persons who stopped at the
booth In her charge at Market street
department store yesterday are believed
to have sampled the poisoned tonic, but
no cases of bichloride poisoning have
been reported at the hospitals.
Mrs. Farrell had prepared three gallons
OF the tonic for patrons of the store to
sample. Into this she had poured a cup
ful of a bichloride solution, thinking it
was water The bichloride was used to
sterilize the glasses used by customers
She was told by those who sampled the
tonic that It was bitter. and drank some
herself. When she discovered what she
had done she became hysterical and COM
planned of nausea. Physicians said that,
judging from the small size Of the sam
pies given TO patrons, those who tasted
the mixture between II and - o'clock
yesterday morning probably had small
quantities OF bichloride in their systems,
but not enough to endanger them.

VESTRY WINS POINT
IN RICHMOND SUIT
"Curbstone" Board Is Permitted
by Judge to Recite
Proceedings

The "curbstone" vcstry OF st. Johns
Episcopal won the first legal point in the
court proceedings to oust the Rev.
George Chalmers Richmond from the rec
torship OF that congregation today in
Court OF Common Pleas No. g. Mr.. Rich
mond's attorney. Edgar NJ. Black. was
overruled by Judge Ferguson when he
objected to a recital of proceedings before
the Standing Committee OF the uiocese
germane to the case.
The session started today is the final
hearing I'm the movement to force Mr..
Richmond to turn over TO the so-called
'curbstone vestry" the keys, books and
funds of st. Johns. Mr.. Richmond was
deposed as rector of that church by
Bishop Rhinclander. but declined to get
out. A vestry was elected on the side
walk in front of the church, and when
MIR. Richmond refused to recognize it,
suit was brought.
George Chandler Paul, Sr., formerly ac-
counting warden the latest target for Mr.
Richmond's verbal fire, was between two
fires when he appeared as a witness to-
day. At the outset Mr.. Richmond and Mr..
Paul were friendly, but recently the
clergyman accused the former account
ing warden of misappropriating funds of
the church to his own use. After Mr.. Paul
concluded his testimony today an effort
was made by j. Wilson Bayard, counsel
for the "curbstone vestry," to cross-ex-
anime him, but Judge Ferguson said he
could not see the relevancy of such testi-
mony and ended the cross-examination.
Mr.. Paul then was excused. His testi-
mony had to do with the funds of the
church. He said Mr.. Richmond had taken
charge OF all collections since Easter, up
to which time Mr.. Paul handled the funds
of the church.
r. Francis Wood secretary of the
Standing Committee, was the next wit
ness. He was called by Mr. Bayard.
After the objection to this testimony had
been overruled, Mr.. Wood was permitted
to read from the minutes of the meeting
of the committee, at which it was de-
cided to oust Mr.. Richmond.

CARR ASKED TOLEAD

Appointment of Chairman of
Campaign Committee
Expected to Be Made
Tomorrow
NEW PARTY IN THE FIELD

George Wentworth Carr, who managed
the Blankenburg campaign and who led
tho hght OF the Independents I'm 1918. may
lead the fight to elect George ID. Porter
Mayor and to elect an Embossed Councils
this year.
gne leaders of the independent move
ment are endeavoring to prevail upon
Mr.. Carr to accept the place of chairman
OF the Campaign Committee. According
TO friends of Mr.. Carr, the place has been
onered him, and he is now considering it,
The appointment of the chairman is
looked for tomorrow. The independents
are hoping that Mr.. Carr will take the
reins In the fight, as he did in every cam
paign of the independents from 1905 until
two years ago, but Mr.. Carr's friends
are urging him to stay out of Il, as It
would mean personal sacrifice for him
to accept they said today.
The new party will be launched tomor-
row. definite statement to this effect
was made today by members of the Pub
lie Service Committee of 100.
At noon tomorrow five men from each
OF the 4S wards in the city will assemble
at the headquarters of the committee, 213
South Broad street, and there will sign
the papers pre-emptinR the title of the
new party in every ward. The papers
for each ward will then be taken to City
Hall in a group and the name of the
party will be filled In just before they
are filed there.
Every precaution is being taken to keep
the name of the new party secret. When
the Washington party was organized the
name became known before the title was
pre-empted. and the Republican Organi-
zation took advantage of the situation
and pre-empted the title itself in some
parts of the city.
The new party will be the vehicle with
which the independent candidates will
be placed before the voters at the gem
eral election on November 2.

WARMER WEATHER COMING

Baseball fans who are looking forward
,mpatiently to the worlds series here felt
awfully "blue" when they got up this

ical and mental. being in part due to
the cold and in part to the fact that
such cold weather isn't very reassuring

same breath that he said the cool wave
would not break VI for a day or two.
promised that 1t would surely end some
time this week,
So 1t may be warm for the world s
series games after all.
At getting-up time the mercury was
down to A., one degree lower than the
same time yesterday. SO that today has
the rather doubtful honor of being the
coldest day this fall. .t
The weather man made his usual pre-
diction, however "Rising temperatures"
he said. This early morning prophecy is
never wrong.
The Weather Bureau today sent out a
warning that another great storm. similar
TO that which recently killed scores and
caused immense damage on the Texan
coast, is sweeping northward over the
Gulf OF Mexico. IL is tropical storm,
attended by dangerous winds, and its In
fiuence, II is expected, will be felt In the
South late tonight and tomorrow.
The storm may eventually reach this
