Wright came back only to disap-
pear little while later This time
Mrs. Wright received letter from

The last time he disappeared he

and Rose Jungman we're taken into
custody in a rooming house in st.

wife abandonment and the girl was
held as "a witness.
The federal officials got busy on
the case, but they were not success
full in obtaining white slave evidence
when the girl said she had paid her
own way to join the man.
But Frank Jungman, the girls fa-

drop so easily. He has found letters
written to the girl by Wright which
he believe contain white slave evil

the department of justice investigate
the case.
One of the letters read:
Darling Rosa: You don't know
how lonely it is here without you. l
stay awake nights thinking of you.

Sweetheart Rosa, want you to be a
real woman for once in your life.
Slip on your velvet coat, your little

you'll never regret it. Say that you
are i'll and leave for few days quiet

: ROMANCE OF STATE ST. MAY
BE "SLAVE" CASE

T. BE "SLAVE" CASE ..
! A romance which caused consider
able, excitement and gossip around
the counters of the State street de-
partment stores when it first leaked
out has now come to the attention
of Uncle Sam as a possible violation
of the Mann white slave law.
The romance is. that of Charles
Wright, former manager of the tailor
ing department of The Hub, and Rosa
Jungman, a young girl who worked
for him as a seamstress. &c.
Wright is So. His wife whom he
abandoned lives at 802 S. Taylor st.,
Oak Park, with their two children,
Adelaide, IA, and Lucille, IL: Wright
appears to, be a gay dog" with the
girls. He has been married five
times. Two of his wives have been
divorced.
When Rosa Jungman first met
Wright four years ago she was 81.
The Hub job was her first experience
in the State street stores. And
through the rigid discipline practiced
in the department stores she natnr-.
ally looked up to Wright with the
respect that the bosses demand on
State street:
It became noticeable at the start
that Wright was very attentive to the
new seamstress But those who no
ticed it thought nothing when they
remembered Wright's. wife and his
two pretty children.
Finally the attentions of Wright
grew warmer and warmer and the
other employees of The Hub winked
knowingly at each other when they
saw the man and the girl leaving the
store together in the evening.
Three years ago Wright first dis
appeared. The girl was missed at
the same time. Mrs. Wright heard

announcer purse SUCH as In the GIBBONS
fight. -
Joe Tinker wants to cut his COM
bined Cubs and Whales down to 35,
men before starting the spring train
ing trip. That means that 10 men
must be eliminated before the first of
March, and the squad will be further
reduced during the conditioning pc
riod. Joe wants to start the season
with a roster of less than 80 men.
Several Cubs are slated to go in
this cut, among them the outfield,
with one or two exceptions. Tinker
favors Frank Schultz, but he is over
looking good man in Cy Williams,
youngster and a conner. Joe's best
move would be to get the co-opera-
ton of Roger Bresnahan in this
weeding-out process and rely on the
advice of the 1915 manager of the
Cubs.
Tinker also wants Heinie Groh, the
Cincinnati infielder, who is reported
to be dissatisfied under the manage
ment of Charley Herzog. AS mat
ter of fact, Tinker is tied up, so far
as deals are concerned, by the fact
that Weeghman has not succeeded
as yet in getting absolute control of
the West Side team.
Bresnahan was in Cleveland yes
terday with the American league
magnates trying to persuade them
to give him the Cleveland team of
the American assn, which he would
transfer to Toledo if he is let out as
manager of the Cubs. This switch
might be tagged onto any deal which
eliminates Charley Somers from
baseball.
The Cleveland bankers committee,
it is understood, has absolutely put a
damper on any plan to keep Somers
in baseball and demands that he sell :.
his holdings. Ed Gwinner and Har- I
ry Sinclair, Federal magnates, are
most prominently mentiOned as mr.

! ne FulIOn-WIIldTO pIIZeHSnC TOT
New Orleans March has been de-
clared off by the promoters after
considerable backing and filling, but
it is probable the sporting world will
continue to rattle along under this
staggering blow.
Tommy Burns, who was to have
run the fight, insisted that Fulton
fight some other man prior to meet
ing the champion. This Willard and
his manager, Tom Jones, refused to
consent to. Why, is mystery, I'M
less they figured Fulton a soft one
and feared he would be put away by
some other man before Jess got a
chance at him.
If this supposition is not true it is
hard to explain the attitude of the
championship contingent. A victory
for Fulton over man like Frank Mo-
ran would add much to his prestige
and bolster his record, which is at
present very slender.
There is little demand for a cham
pionship bout between Willard and
Fulton, because of the latter's OBJ
security.
Tom Andrews, up in Milwaukee, is
said to want the bout between the
two big men and will offer $25, 900
for ten-round engagement. This,
it is understood, would be the COM
bined share of the two men, but VIII
lard, of course, would get the great
er portion of it.
With the WiIIard-FuIton fight |
wiped off at New Orleans there is a |
movement on to substitute Charlie |
White and Freddie Welsh in light |
weight championship bout. The pro-
moters will have to put up much less
for such a show, as White is
willing to take small bit for a crack
at the Briton. At least, that is what
he has said on several occasions.
