Then Abbott n Steffens wen. to
police headquarters with a crowd of a

shouting. Steffens told Chief Blmson
that his prohibition Of free speech
would get Paterson into trouble. When
they left the chief Abbott declared that

At that m a policeman grabbed
Trcsca. and others put Abbott
and Wright under arrest. The crowd
raised "A great ''boo-hooing." the police
tried 10 disperse them. and the rioting
developed.

Paterson or getting out Of town. They
took the latter. So they were escorted

JOHNSON CAN GET IN
BUT CANNOT GET OUT

Ell PASO. Texas. Feb. 27.-An en-
tirely different angle was put on Jack
JohnsOn's present attitude regarding
the -JuareZ-El PasO contro-
versy by a private letter received from
the black champion today
Johnson never at any time was
worried about the means that were Sc
lected 10 get him into Mexico and up
through the rebellion cursed country.
What he was chiefly concerned in
was how he was TO get out of Mexico
with his $4,000 after the fight with
Jesse Willard
The champion is a long way from
being q fool and while he was in a
mad quest for that 10000 pesos. He
was not blind to all of the details. He
felt satisfied. he said in his letter,
which was dated at the Barbados,
B. W. l.. that he could get into Mex
leo without anything but the loss Of
a lot Of time
But it appears that a lot of people
have told him things about conditions
i'm the northern section of the repUb-
lie This got him to thinking. He
figured that if he were paid off on
the Mexican side he would either
have TO send the money into America
with some trusted friend or run big
risk of being held up on his way out.
III was a tough proposition and
Johnson could not fathom it. That 5
why he did not come to Juarez and
battle Willard. At least this is the
intimatiOn in his letter.

was SO slippery it required the great
est skill and strength of the drivers TO
prevent disasters in every lap Ralph
