Following a night of seclusiou on Jack Johnson's part, tho negro pugilist fearing assas sination, a mob here this morning strung up a black faced dummy bear ing a placard with the words "This is what we will do to Jack Johnson." The police dispersed the crowd, but left the dummy hanging. Federal Attorney Wilkerson this morning uttered a curt refusal to the offer that Johnson would furnish ball In any amount to effect the release from jail of 10-year-old Lucile Cam eron, the white girl whom Johnson is accused of abducting and who Is be ing detained as n witness against the negro, who will face a charge of whlto slavery. Johnson kept himself carefully se cluded yesterday, presumably In rooms above bis cafe, nnd his body guard stationed in tho saloon below and at his mother's residence, turned all questioners away with n state ment Hint Johnson would see no ono. Telephone rails failed to bring blin to tho Instrument. s Following his rough experiences Saturday afternoon, when a mob of 1000 persons threatened to lynch him, Johnson realizes that his life is not safe hero at any time. He has received many warnings by telephone, by letter and personal mes sengers to the effect that plans are being made to kill him. Those plans are openly discussed on cars, in sa loons and everywhere that men con gregate and everybody believes that Johnson will be assassinated. Mayor Harrison says he is seeking some sort of legal excuse that will permit him to close up Johnson's cafe and drive him from the city. The authorities realize that if Johnson is assassinated or an attempt lpade to kill him, it will precipitate a race war that will be extremely difficult to handle, not alone in this city, but In other places where "bad" negroes have been especially obnoxious since thn Hello affair. Johnson's friends, realizing the de signs upon bis life, are urging him to forfeit his $1500 bond to the Gov ernment In the Lucile Cameron case and flee to Europe, as they fear he would not be safe anywhere in- this country at present. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 2 1 . Twenty-five hundred Detroit Y. M. C. A. members and their friends rose to their feet yesterday and tuuiullouHly applauded Hooker T. Washington when he declared that Pugilist Jack Johnson should be repudiated by all right-thinking negroes, In view of his recent Chicago exploits. "It Is unfortunate." he said, "that n man with money should use It In n wav to injure his own people with those who arc seeking to uplift hla race and Improve Us condition." i:(.ii'Mi:x nwi: close call I'Olt Til KIR I.I YES.

Perkins has been in conference with Portland archl- . tenia regarding the feasibility of adding three more storloa to me fine Perkins building in this city. This building was so constructed that the present foundation, walls, etc., have plenty of strength to carry an additional three stories, so Mr. A Perkins Is assured by the ar- J. chitectB. This would give It a J. height of seven stories and 4 double the present number of 4. office rooms. The present heat- 4. Ing plant would suffice for the 4. additional atorles but the ele- JL vator capacity would be 4 doubled. Estimates on tbe coat 4. of three more Btorles have al- 4 ready been made, but nothing further than this will probably h" done before next spring. Mr. Perkins anticipates great devel opment In this portion of Ore gon In the near future and be- Ueves that Roseburg will be a central featuro In the coming growth. HIIIII.;W4 NEW MOOSE BUILDING COMMITTEES AT WORK. At the last meeting of the Rose burg Moose lodge a special commit tee of about 20 members was ap pointed to work with the building commltteo In securing subscriptions of stock in the big Moose building to be erected In this city. The mem bers of the lodge will first be called upon to subscribe for one or more shares of stock and when this is done no difficulty Is anticipated In placing tho remainder, If any, of the 2000 shares. As this stock Is payable at the rate of only one dollar per month per Bhare, and as It will draw Inter est at tho rate of 7 per cent from tho date It Is paid up. there should be no difficulty In getting the whole amount subscribed at an early date. As Boon as this stock la subscribed active steps will be taken toward the erection of the building. Each com mitteeman has already choBen several assistants to help nlong with the work. Ron. T. R.
