Chicago July 26.-Jack Johnson's
hope OF early freedom under bond
was considerably dimmcd tonight art
or every effort Of his friends and
tcrneys to obtain his release had fail
ed. Indications are that the former,
worlds heavyweight champion who
fled to Europe six years ago, after
being convicted Of violating the Mann
act, may remain III Jail at Joliet for
a month.
Judge Samuel Alschulcr, Of tho
United States District Court today
refused to hear an application for
oail because Judge Carpenter, who
sentenced Carpenter, who Is recover
ing from an operation performed last
week, told Johnsons attorneys he
might not be back to his Office for q
month or more.
Johnson has private cell and is
permitted to send outside for his
meals. -
Although Johnson forfeited a bond
or $3O,000 when he fled from the coun
try, his attorneys said today they
were prepared to furnish bonds up
to $4,000 to bring about Johnson s
release.

New York. July. 2s.--Twanty.sev-
eli Negro women, inmates Of the
State Reformatory for Women at

of a cottage in which they were con
fined today and in q pitched battle
with ten State troopers set as guard

all the Negro women had been round

BY that time, Miss Jones realized
the riot could not be stopped by her
farce of guards, hampered as they
were by special orders against disci
pine. She called i'll the local police
and asked DR.. Pearce to summon the
conStabulary.
The colorcd women were sent to
their cottages by the police, but the
Fighting continued when the cops
refused to let the white inmates go
after them. There it was that Police
man Wade struck tho centre OF tho
riot with his club swinging aud
quelled it.
1t was late in the afternoon when
the last Of tho fighters had been lock
ed up. At that time DR.. Mary Conanr
reformatory pysichian was beginning
a task that would occupy her all
night attending the burns and
wounds of tho rioters. 1t was esti-
mated that fifty OF the women re-
quired her attention.
Following the riot Miss Jones is
sued the following statement:
Il told the managers I did not feel

ALICE BRADY IN THE FEAR MARKET Popular Star in Elaborate Production Coming to the
 TrianOn for Week

One of the most elaborate productions of the screen, The Fear Market" fea- turing Alice Brady will be the attrac- ton at the Trianon for one week only beginning Monday.
 The first half of the picture is laid in Italy and the script calls for elabo- rate sets of Italian gardens, villas and hotels From three to four hundred Italian extra people will be used in these scenes The duplicate of one of New York's large hotels and a large mask ball are other features of the picture.
 Miss Brady has a highly dramatic role as Sylvia Stone, daughter of Major Stone a wealthy New Yorker. who. un- known to her is the editor of an in discreet blackmailing soceity sheet. Sylvia has been brought up in Italy by an aunt, and falls in love with Ettare Forni, celebrated Italian tenor
 Tn moment of madness Sylvia eIopes with the tenor, but she discovers he doesn't intend to marry her. She only escapes from him by playing on his superstitions by pretending to be .jetta trice," evil eye, and threatening to bring misfortune on him. Sylvia tells her friend. Mrs. Hill wife of a New York artist about her experience, and her friend in turn. relates an escapade she had before her marriage.
 A short time afterward an agent of. Major Stone. Jim Carson, calls on Mrs. Hill and threatens to reveal her youth full indiscretion if she doesn't pay him S10000. Not having the money and wishing to conceal her past from her husband Mrs Hill kills herself and leaves Sylvia a note of explanation. Sylvia determines to avenge her friends death and find the unknown head of the paper.
 The unwinding of the story with it's many complications and thrilling cli- maxes, with it's wonderful ending make an intensely absorbing picture.
