The Champion's Future

Money Indifference to
Strained Picture Case.
Chicago, July 7. Today John
Arthur Johnson, the best of modern
gladiators, with the modern cestus,
came into the city with his following
through a solid wall of people, and
ethical Chicago lined miles of side
walks with solid ranks to catch a
glimpse of the champion. So much
after his own heart was. this coming
into his own that the champion an
nounced all tentative plans for the fu
ture off.
"Sam Langford!" he asked. "You
make me laugh. I am not running
around looking for fights. Let Lang
ford put up his $20,000 first, then he
can talk. Just now I'm going to rest.
I am going to New York Sunday after
noon to begin a thirty weeks' vaude
ville tour; at least I have contracts
lor that many. It looks like a good
thing, and I may accept offers to go to
Europe.
Quit? AVell, I'll tell you sonny; I
never told anyone I would quiet .but
Jt looks as though I'd have to don't it?"
Five thousand members of his race
and a big sprinkling of white persons
made a living wall at the Chicago &
Northwestern railway statjon when
Johnson arrived at 2 p. m. The po
lice were, swept away like chaff when
the immense fighter, looming above tho
crowd, fought his way through hand
clasps and good natured pats on the
back to a waiting automobile. A line
of garishly decorated automobiles
containing newspaper men (amply
cared for at Johnson's personal re
quest) followed his machine until sud
denly it was lost.
Five minutes later with a rush and
a roar, Johnson shot out somewhere in
his new 100 miles an hour car and
dashed madly to his home, where his
mother, Mrs. Tiny Johnson and mem
bers of the family waited in the midst
of another crowd of thousands:
Flags abounded and an ornately at
tired drum major of a colored regi
ment of thevstate militia swayed to the
rythm of "America" and "MIstah John
sing, Turn Me Loose," and other simi
larly "patriotic" airs, and in the midst
of a mighty roar of "Oh, you Jack
Johnson," the champion alighted at his
own door.
He pushed his way into the hoirse
amid deafening roars and with real
tears streaming down his face, em
braced his mother. Behind him his
compatriots struggled through the
crowd bearing aloft a side of bacon,
syiribolic of Johnson's own message
home, "I'm coming home with his ba
con." "You doan need no bacon, chile," the
aged Mrs. Johnson cried. "Ah want to
tell you I'se got a mighty fine chicken
cookin out heah in -ie kitchln, an' you
knows how you likes watahmolon. We
all got some dandles. Jack."
The champion on the balcony of his
home paused suddenly as he caught a
camera pointed his way, lest the pic
ture be spoiled. He was about to
speak when he glanced at his racing
car, surrounded by a street full of
dark skinned "home folks." He didn't
talk. i
A few minutes later a figure ap
peared at the door and came struggling
through crowds. It was not the gla
diator, the victor with Ids laurels at
his chariot.
It was Jack Johnson, .the joy rider,
and the battle of the century was a
complete memory. His new automobile
can "go some" too. It went seventy
one miles for awhile till it was slowed
up by a park policeman.
"Here goes the profits," laughed
Jack, but the policeman clasped the
champion's hand, and clouted him on
the back. Leaning over he wispered,
"Don't tell anypne, vou old war horse,
but I won $20 on you."
"Good," answere Johnson, and. an
other whizz and a cloud of dust later
revealed him at a certain ."Corner up
South" where any one may acquire
liquid refreshments after a dusty ride.
"Now, Jack," an Associated Press re
porter asked, "what are you gotngto
do? What about Sam Langford? What
about your mother raying you are go
ing to quit? What about your trip and
also other things?
"I'm glad you asked me all at once,"
replied Johnson, "because I can say I
don't know. I have enough money to
last me till next week, and I am going
to find out what's doing before I doi
anything. Sam Langford or anyonf
else had better gt his money up first,
then proceed tp vhip,,me. after ward. jl

"Yes," he answered, ""bur It jCoesn't

bother me. They all told me 1 was a
fool to sell my share for $50,000, but
they thought I couldn't whip Jeff, too."
Friday night he will attend a ban
quet. He says he is too busy having a
good time, to be bothered with a re
plevin suit filed today by George Lit
tle, his former manager, for a $1,200
ring. His future plans, he said, can be
outlined only generally.
LANGFORD'S MONEY READY.
New York, July 7. Joe Woodman,
manager of Sam Langford, telegraphed
here today that he had accepted the
offer of Jack Johnson to meet Lang
ford for a $20,000 side bet, and asks
Johnson to post his forfeit for the
match on his arrival here Monday.
Woodman wires he will telegraph the
deposit to bind Langford's end as soon
as he learns Johnson's money Is. up,

A NEIGHBOR ARRESTED
FOR THE MAHARD MURDER
CHARLES RAY IS TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY.
Yavapai Sheriff Had Him Under Sur
veillance Two Months.
Prescott, Ariz., July 7. Sheriff
Smith said today that he had solved
the mystery of the murder of Mr.
and Mrs. George Mahard, when he
arrested Charles Ray, a rancher, in
Oro Fino district, near where Mahard,
a wealthy miner, lived.
The Mahards were slain in May.
There bodies were found badly mu
tilated in a cabin that showed every
evidence of a fierce struggle. No
trace of the slayer was found at the
time. But Sheriff Smith kept up
the hunt for evidence, and after keep
ing Ray under surveillance for two
months, arrested him last night.
Ray made no resistance, but de
nies any connection with the killing.
At the time of the discovery of the
murder It was supposed that it had
been committed bv two Mexicans who
afterward took one of Mahard's horses,
a stallion, and a rifle and a re
volver. The trail of the supposed
murderers was 'found and was fol
lowed south. Men with a horse
answering the description of the
Mahard horse were seen at various
points, the last time north of Glen-
dale.
Dut by that time, the Yavapai of
ficers had lost interest In the pur
suit of the Mexicans and it was
quietly stated that the officer! had
secured positive information that the
crime was not committed by Mexi
cans. It was said that Sheriff Smith
expected to find the murderer not
far from the scene of the crime. It
was later learned that Mahard's horse
had not been taken out the country.

NEW YORK STRIKE
OE GARMENT WORKERS
Fifty Thousand Went Out For an
Eight-Hour Day.
New York, July 7. Fifty thousand
garment and cloak makers, of which
S000 are women, walked out this aft
ernoon at the call of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers' union,
which demands an eight-hour day, an
increase in wages, and a guarantee
that contractors shall stand behind
sub-constractors for wage payments.
The fight thus far Is purely local, but
officers of the union said tonight that
if tho employes attempted to sub-let
their work in other cities the union
would call a strike there also.
The 1100 factories here employ 100,
000 hands of which approximately half
are organized. The strikers hope to
-draw many of the non-union workers
out by sympathetic appeals.

CUTS CITIES
W. U. Discontinues Broker
Service at Many Points
ACTION WITHOUT WARNING
No Explanation Offered.
But It Is Looked for in
the Washington Grand
Jury's .Investigation of
Bucket Shop Business.
New York, July 7. Without expla
nation and without warning, the Wes
tern Union Telegraph company dis
continued its service today In ten cities
of this state and Pennsylvania. The
cities affected are Pittsburg and Johns
town, Pa.; Syracuse, Ithaca, Rome,
Utica, Gloverville, Auburn, Water-
town and Cortland, of this state.
The executive officers of the com
pany took the stand today that under
the advice of counsel they could not
discuss the company's policy. Officers
of the New York exchange denied that
the discontinuance of the service was
in any way instigated by them or that
they had any knowledge of it.
Officers of the Consolidated Stock
exchange, the "little board," could not
be found tonight. There were many
subterranean rumors that the company
was, acting on the advice of some one
in Washington supposed to be close to
the attitude of the attorney general's
office. But these could not be con
firmed. Hitherto the Western Union has al
ways taken the stand that as a com
mon carrier it had no right to refuse
any business offered it providing such
business was couched In decent
language. In fact, the company
argued earnestly that any attempt by
It to investigate the private affairs of
its customers would be inquisitorial
and intolerable.
President Robert C. dowry of the
Western Union Telegraph cothpany,
when seen at his home In Tarrytown
late tonight answered questions by in
direction only.
"What induced your directors to take
this acfion?" he was asked.
"Have you been following the stir
the grand jury has been making down
In Washington?" he replied in a
counter query. "If you have you "will
know about all we know."
President Clowry's reply is to be in
terpreted in the light of the fact that
the Western Union was recently In
dicted by the federal grand jury in
Washington for furnishing alleged
bucketshops with quotations on stocks.
ON ITS OWN MOTION.
Washington, D. C, July 7. On its
own initiative, and not on orders from
the department' of justice here, the
Western Union Telegraph company
has discontinued the service to a
number of stockbrokers with offices
Hi New York state and elsewhere.
This was the declaration made to
night by an officer of the department
of justice who played a prominent
part in tho recent raids on so-called
"bucket shops." He said the depart
ment would have ho right to order the
telegraph" company to discontinue its
service unless It co'uld be proved that
it had broken some - federal statute,
and this had not been done.

THE COLONEL
FOR BEVERIDGE
He Will Make One Speech
In His Behalf .
SIGNIFICANT BEVELOPMENT
Support by Roosevelt of In
diana Senator Regarded
as Taking Stand Against
President Taft on the
Tariff Question.
Oyster Bay, July 7. Albert J. Bev
eridge. United States senator from
Indiana, one of the most prominent
and consistent of the "Progressive"
Republicans, came down to Sagamore
Hill this afternoon with a promise
from Col. Roosevelt to delfver a cam
paign speech in favor of his fight for
re-election to the senate. Mr. Bev
erldge departed contented and smil
ing, and left it for the colonel to
make the announcement of the pro
posed campaign speech in the sen
ator's behalf.
Col. Roosevelt said: "Mr. Foulke
and Mr. Swift came to Sagamore HHJ
last night and spent the night here.
They came to request me to go to In-
diana and speak in behalf of Mr.
Beveridge. I promised that I would."
He added that he had agreed today
to make only one speech for the
senator.
Those who have followed the polit
ical conferences at Oyster Bay sineo
Col. Roosevelt's return share the be
lief that he has been feeling his way
cautionsly in his attitude towarJ the
administration and insurgents, but to
day's incidents are considered the
most importaiit yet developed. Mr.
Beveridge is making a fight - for re
election as an insurgent. He is op
posed by John W. Kefn, who ran
with Bryan In the last campaign.
Col. Roosevelt stands in the fight
by placing himself squarely against
President Taft on the tariff measure.
The law which the president defended
as the best tariff measure ever en
acted was denounced by Mr. Bev
eridge, and the same Republican state
convention that endorsed Mr. Bev
eridge for another term virtually re
pudiated the law.
In the senate Mr. Beveridge fought
the bill to the last, and then voted
against it. It is pointed out, however,
that with this exception President
Taft and the senator tnux Indiana
"have been pujling together in the ad
ministration policies. There has been
no break between them.
OTHER OYSTER BAY GUESTS.
Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 7. Three
Indianans were among the visltors.at
Oyster Bay today. Besides Beveridge
these were Wiliam Dudley Foulke and
Lucius B. Swift of Indiapapolis. Rep
resentatives of New Hampshire were
AVInston Churchill, the novelist, John
Bass, war correspondent and his
brother .Robert R. Buss, candidate for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor. New York state was represent
ed by Representative Hamilton Fish
and James R. Sheffield, and Montana
by Senator Thomas H. Carter,
Colonel Roosevelt appeared well
pleased with the day's work and talk
ing politics. To interviewers, however,
he would say little concerning the con
ferences except that he promised to
make one speech for Mr. Beveridge.
These who- sought to interpret the day
in general as an insurgent rally look
ing toward the shaping of Roosevelt's
future attitude were let In the dark.
An indication that this is not the case,
was the presence of Carter, vho is
steadily opposed to insurgency.
Mr. Beveridge spent only a few
hours at Sagmore Hill. It was evident
that the press of other visitors and a
dinner engagement in New York ne
cessitated his early return and gave
him less time than he wished In which
to discuss the polftical situation in In
diana. "I have no doubt that Col
onel Roosevelt will give out any
thing he wishes to become public
about the interview"s.aid Mr. Bever
idge. "I have had many talks with
