OFFICERS READY TO
GRAB JACK JOHNSON

San Diego, Cal. June 16.-Agents
Of the department of justice and i'm
migration were on watch along the
border line between the United States
and Lower California, Mexico, a few
miles south Of here today, to arrest
Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, should
he enter this country. Johnson is
wanted under conviction for VIOLA
ton Of the Mann act.
The federal officers indicated their
watch was not based on any great
confidence in reports emanating from
Mexico that Johnson would be de-
ported, but on the possibility there
might be some truth in these rumors.
They particularly discounted a report
printed in one Mexican paper that
Judge Luis Cacho Of Tia Juana
Lower California, had given the negro
30 days in which to leave the coun-
try. The reason for the order, the
report said, was Johnson's alleged
conduct toward Mexican girls.
Dave Gershon, special agent of the
department of justice, said last night,
Judge Cacho had denied knowledge
Of any such decree.

MOBS RUN RIOT ON THE
ST Reefs OF MINI ESOTA
CITY AND IA n c III Rec
NEGROES ACCUSED OF AN
At TACK ON WHITE G| RI

Duluth, Mimi, June 16-Virtually
normal conditions prevailed today on
the Duluth business streets over which
mob of 5000 persons surged last
night, sweeping the police from pow.
er and seizing and lynching three
negroes held in connection with an
attack on a l7-year old white girl.
y When two companies of Minnesota
national guardsmen reached here at
an early hour on q special train from
st. Paul. they found only a damaged
police station and Uttered streets as
visual evidence of the mobs activ.
ity.
Under personal command OF state
adjutant General W. F. Rhinow. the
l24 men and six officers went into
temporary camp, preparing to patrol
against any eventuality that might
arise as the aftermath of the mob's
mad run.
Last nights lynching, however, was
accomplished after the city's rre hose
was captured by the mob in an az
tack on police headquarters, whic 4
fronts Superior street, Duluth's prin-
cipal business thoroughfare. For at
least two hours, the mob ruled, only
relinquishing its power after the
negroes had been lynched.
Six negroes had been arrested by
the police in connection with the at
tack on the girl, which took place
at a circus ground Monday night. The
negroes were attached to the circus
as roustabouts.
The mob held mock trial, declareo
three of the negroes guilty and a.
quilted the other three, who today

1t took three starts to hang the first

early today the police cut down the
bodies of the negroes, which had not
been mutilated.
The authorities did not expect any
further trouble today and eXbressec
themselves doubly sure Of this, in view
of the presence of the guardsmen.

FORMER CHIEF JUSTICE
DISCUSSES P ROSP Pee rs
OF BUILDING ARDMORE-
LAWTON ELECTRIC LIN {

Judge Samuel w. Hayes former
chief justice of the Oklahoma supreme
court, but who is now devoting his
time to corporation law and to the
management Of corporate interests is
an Ardmore visitor today from Ok
laboma City.
Judge Hayes, in speaking Of rail
road construction work in the United
States says there is not much chance
FOR any considerable building except
in the oil field district where very
heavy traffic would justify the prices
that must be paid at this time.
In 1919 prior to the world war
railway companies borrowed money
at five per cent and now they are
required to pay 7A per cent. With
500 then they could purchase as
much as they can now for 5000 and
these conditions would make the first
cost of construction something like
three times as much while the ad.
vance in the freight rates have been
only 40 per cent. Besides the rail.
way companies are bending every
energy they have now to provide bet.
ter roadbcds and better equipment
to take care OF the crop situation this
fall
II is the opinion of Judge Hayes
that the situation as It stands now
should not deter the building OF a
line of road between Ardmore ant
Lawton for the reason that such n
road would tap the richest oil fielt
region in the state and the traffic
would be heavy enough to justify the
expenditures that would be required
to do the construction work

 and Blanche Fight to DrasU

Sailor Blanche of New Orleans obtained a draw from Dummy Harrington last night at the s. A. C. when he staged a great comeback in the tenth and last round of the fight, In the ninth round Dummy had the sailor pretty grogey but he came back strong in the last round and made things look rather shaky for Barringtons packers.
 The fight started off like it was going to be knockdown drag out affair. Dummy started mixing things from the first and won the first two rounds with ease. Blanche, however. came back and took the next round, then it was about even until the seventh round, when Bar rington went out for knockout and mad things going his way in the seventh, eighth and ninth rounds, but the Sailor came back in the tenth and almost scored a knockout over Dummy with only the gong saving him.
 Harrington fought the best fight of his
