L. WAS FRAMED
lBY Associated Pressl

Havana, March 13.-Jack Johnson,
former heavyweight champion, in a
signed statement to the Associated
Press today, declared that his fight
with Willard in Havana four years
ago was a prearranged affair and
that he allowed Willard to win.
johnson declares it was arranged
that he was to lose in the tenth
round, provided Wiilard's showing
was such as to. justify it, but, as Will
lard was doing practically nothing,
he was forced to wait.
The signal agreed upon was given
in the twentieth round, Johnson
states, but he waited until the twen-
ty-siXth round to give Willard an
opportunity to make a good show
ing.
In return Johnson was to have
$4,000 motion picture rights, to-
gether with the promise of assistance
in adjusting Johnson's difficulties
with the federal authorities at Chi

One Alleged Bad Check Ar

More are Fugitives From
the City.

Ell Centre has seemingly suddenly
been invaded by a regular army of
bad check artists. with the result
that half dozen or more merchants
are inconsolably guarding worthless
paper in their cash registers and
looking bitterly at their weakened
bank accounts.
The officers, both county and city,
seeking to cope with the problem
Of circumventing the embryo authors
who pen their masterpieces on blank
checks, have issued a general warn
ing against the cashing of checks eX-
cept where the person is personally
known as responsible.
In addition, the, officers are seek
ing to round up all suspects. One
man., F. Jordon, is in Jail charged
with the circulation Of nearly $3.50
in worthless paper, warrant has
been issued for the arrest of another,
and third suspect is reported to be
a fugitive.
Conservative estimates are that
nearly $400 has been lost by mer-
chants during the past ten days on
men of this ilk. They have framed
new and ingenious schemes, with the
result that it takes an exceedingly
wary person to beat them at their
own game.
Merchandise received by two of
these men during their operations
here has been recovered.
Members of the gang are said to
have worked other towns in the val
ley also.

AS
Legal Tender

Whiskey is used as legal tender
in this dryest spot in Southern Cali
fornia, both climatically and liquorly
speaking.
This startling fact is develop
ment of two liquor trials held during
the past twenty-four hours.
While the fact is genuine trib-
ute to the officers for their rigid en-
forcement of the "no-oasis' law, in
that it has made wet goods so scarce
and rare, yet it is a sorry commen-
tary. In one case where a team of
mules and wagon were hired, the
terms provided for payment with a
quart bottle of whisky.
In the other case, the trial of Oliver
Quick for bootlegging, the reigning
price of whisky was fixed at $5 a
pint, representing a profit to the
seller over the purchase price of more
