CHOP SLAYER TO PIECES
Avengers Hunt Down Fugitive at
Mine and Cut Him Up

Johnstown, Pa, April 6.-Guiseppe
Perry was found dead yesterday near
the mouth of an abandoned mine,
mile from this city, literally cut to
pieces with huge knife. Saturday he
had killed Frank Perry. Both men
were residents of Johnstown's IS alien
colony, but were not related. Frank
was struck from behind with hatchet
and his head almost severed, and al
though the murder was committed in
broad daylight upon one of Johns
town s main streets, the slayer escap-
ed. He was seen running away by
some children, who recognized him.
How Giuseppe got to the abandoned
mine in which he stayed Saturday and
Sunday nights the police do not know.
In some manner he managed to obtain
an overcoat and a small sum of money
from woman. How Frank IS friends
found out where Giuseppe was hiding
the police do not know; but some time
Sunday night the fugitive was decoy-
ed from his hiding place and killed.
The police only know that Frank s
widow, who Sunday was weeping and
wailing, is now smiling and laughing.
They believe that some friend of
Frank worked his way into the con-
fidence of friends of Giuseppe and
then slew the murderer. They fear that
the vendetta has not been closed, and
that unless it is possible to make a
few arrests in the near future there
will be another murder.

PULLMAN PORTERS' TIPS
UNDER Federal INQUIRY
Wages Are &27.5O Month For First
is Years, Says Company Witness
at Chicago Hearing, and Then Five
Per Cent. Increase

Chicago, April 6.-The first govern
ment inquiry into wages and eondi-
tions of employment of sleeping car
porters and conductors was made here
yesterday by the United States Com
mission on Industrial Relations. L. s.
Hungerford, general manager of the
Pullman Company, was on the stand
for most Of the day and was question
ed by Frank P. Walsh, chairman of
the commission.
In the first fifteen years of sleep
ing car porter's service, Mr.. Hunger
ford said, he received $27.50 month
in wages. At the end of Is years he
receives an advance of . per cent,
which makes his pay $2S.S7 a month.
In the first ten years of service he
buys $3.50 worth of uniforms a
year, but thereafter the company takes
on this burden. A bonus system gives
men with good records an extra
month s pay for the year.
Mr.. Walsh brought up the subject
of tips.
''Do you expect the public to pay
the difference between these wages and
living wage?' he asked.
"No, don't think that was con-
sidered'
"You thought them satisfied with
these salariess''
"No, wouldn't say that. We re-
ceived no expressions of dissatisfac-
tion regarding them," replied Mr..
Hungerford.
"Have you considered the social
effect of wage which compels men
but recently removed from bondage to
subsist on gratuities from another
race9'
81 am not competent to answer
that"
"Well, can man live on $2I50s0
81 don't know, but it probably de-
pends on his perquisites.'
1t appeared from the testimony
that porters are permitted generally
to retire at IL or IL p. m. and must
go on duty again at 3 a. m.
care the porters required to polish
the shoes of passengersa" asked the
chairman.
"No; they are permitted to-" an.
swered Mr.. Hungerford.
Mr.. Walsh read from a book of
rules by P. c. Johnson, district super.
intendent of the Pullman Company at
Omaha. In this compilation it appear.
ed that porters were required to shine
shoes, and the witness said they
bought their own polish. Among things
forbidden were the use of tooth picks
| and tobacco. The porter standing al
the steps receiving passengers must
stand straight and must not lean in
dolently against the car. "Look pleas
ant" says the rule; ''don't give the
passenger the impression that it is a
more condescension on your part that
he is allowed to ride at ALL
A SYSTEM of small fines for the dis
appearance of linen was maintained te

linen, frequently carried away by care

NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD

could not win. This was based partly
on the belief that Willard could stand
all the punishment johnson could in
flict, and partly on the doubt as to
johnson S condition and his ability at
his age to fight a long battle against
the odds of superior heights, weight,
reach and youth.
Willard said before entering the
ring that he expected to take a beating
for 10 or Is rounds at the hands of
his faster and more skilled opponent,
and had trained to Withstand it. As a
matter of fact, he took 20 rounds of
severe punishment, but laughed the
blows aside and kept standing up
against the rushes OF the negro, who
several times in each of the earlier
rounds swept Willard before him to
the ropes. Willard 3 back showed nu-
merous welts raised by the ropes as he
fell into them.
johnson s continual grin through the
early rounds began to change to look
of wonderment as the battle turned
into the twenties, it was evident to the
spectators when the negro came to the
conclusion that it was useless for him
to try to knock out the young Western
giant. johnson also seemed to know
that he was in no condition to fight 40
rounds. His blows lacked the force
which sent Jeffries toppling from the
topmost rung of the pugilistic ladder
at Reno. Time had done its work.
1t had been the opinion of johnson
and many of his friends that he did
not have to be in the best of condition
to whip Willard, undertaking the lat.
ter's splendid condition and youthful
stamina.
The fight was all johnson IS during
the first 20 rounds, Willard once or
twice taking the aggressive, and then
swinging clumsily and wildly. Mean
while, his body was growing pink un-
der the blows that flashed from John
son.
In these rounds Willard took beat
ing which would have put an ordinary
fighter down and out. The crowd got
used to seeing him throw off these
slashing blows and expected to see
johnson do the same thing when Will
lard swung his right to the negro g
chin in the fatal 26th round They ex-
pected to see johnson jump up and con-
tinue fighting, just as Willard had come
back, but the old champion knew that
he had fought his last championship
fight.
From the goth to the final round,
the fight looked slow, and the crowd
began to hoot and ask that somebody
do something. There was single cry
of "fake-' but it was not taken up
by the other spectators. The reason 1t
looked slow was because Johnson, who
had been doing all the fighting, sud
denly stopped and began sparring for
time.
1t was some time before Willard or
his seconds realized that johnson was
through, and only needed blow or
two to send him to pugilistic oblivion,
During the early part of the fight
Johnson carried all his oldtime conf.
dence and self.assertiveness. He con.
stantly banded words with the spec
tators about the ring and talked stead
lily at Willard, who needed the negro s
chatter about as little as he did his
blows.

CURFEW DID NOT RING
Police Superintendent Found No ordi-
nance to Sustain Measure

Philadelphia, April 6.-The much
discussed curfew, calling children un-
der 16 years old off the city streets
after IL o'clock at might, did not ring
last night, as had been announced and
anticipated. Superintendent of Police
Robinson balked at tolling the go-to-
bed bell because he found no ordi-
nance to sustain such action.
eff such an order is to become
operative there first must be law
making proper provision for it," the
superintendent of police said.
Despite the fact that Director of
Public Safety Porter, District Attor-
ney Rotan and judges of the municipal
courts have urged the curfew, Super
intendent Robinson did not propose to
lay the police department open to
criticism and suits until he had law
to stand back of him.

STATEMENT BY NEW CHAMPION
BY JESS WILLARD
I knew I could do it.

I knew I could do it.
johnson gave me great battle for
20 rounds, but he could not hurt me,
although his punches were powerful.
l had not figured l would win be-
fore the goth round, feeling certain
that Johnson would show up well
until then. I was sure that my en-
durance was superior to his and that
by laying back / could tire him out.
I fought cautiously until the goth
round, and then in the 21st and 22d,
seeing Johnson firing rapidly l went
in to finish him.
In the oath l knew l had the cham
pionship within my grasp. In the 25th
I shot across two body punches, know
ing they would weaken the champion
and when the 26th came | went out
to finish him. When the round started
Johnson was slow in getting from his
corner and his grogginess spurred me
on.
l backed him into corner, feinted
with my left, forcing him to shift his
guard and then shot my right against
his jaw with all the power in my
body, ending the fight and realizing
my life's greatest ambition.

l met better man and was beaten.
l did the best 1 could and put forth
the best that was in me to win, but
despite the rain of blows Willard
seemed unaffected, although l hit him
hard enough and often enough in the
first 90 rounds to floor ten ordinary
men.
One consolation / have is that
proved to my friends that I was in
condition. This was shown by the fight
up to the I20th round. No man could
have tried harder than I to win, but
1 was up against man who wouldn It
crumple when / hit him and whose
right to my jaw took the champion

RAzE JAIL TO FREE YOUTH
April Fool Joke Causes Shooting and
Melee in Indiana Town

Elnora, Ind, April "a group of
indignant citizens yesterday tore down
the towns wooden Jail and released
Gray Farris, student telegraph
operator and well-known young man
held a prisoner in it. As result of
the melee one man was shot and is in
a critical condition. The trouble dates
to when Farris played an April fool

found out about the joke early yester-
day and put Young Farris in Jail.
Clifford Farris, trustee of Elnora
township and an uncle of the young
man, went before Justice Laughlin
and offered bond. He also offered to
pay the young man IS fine, if there was
any to pay, and then demanded his re-
lease. Cox became angry at this and
started to shoot at the elder Farris.
Arthur Dillon, hardware merchant,
trying to intergose between the men,
got in the way of three bullets from
Cox IS gun. He is in a serious condition.
A short time after this citizens tore
down the Jail and let out young Far
ris.
