JOHNSON ARRESTED AS WHITE SLAVER Negro Pugilist Taken by Offi cers on Federal In dictment. $30,000 BAIL FURNISHED rears Show In Black's Kcs When Handcuff Are Pnt On Him. Search Lasts Several Honrs Before Fighter Is Found. CHICAGO, Nov. 7. Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight prizefighter, was arrested by Federal officers to night charged with violation of the Mann act. Hia arrest followed the re turn by the Federal grand Jury of ar. Indictment on four counts, charging him with having caused the transpor tation of Belle Schreiber, a white wo man. 2 years old, from Pittsburg to Chicago. August 10, 1910, for an un lawful purpose. Federal officers searched the South Fide several hours before Johnson was found, hiding in a hotel, surrounded by nejro guards. Xearr Guard. Shoved Aalde. An attempt was at first made by the guards to prevent the officers from entering Johnson's rooms, but they were pushed aside and the Govern ment's warrant was served on the prizefighter without serious difficulty. At the Federal building tears came to Johnson's eyes as the officers put handcuffs on his wrists. "You don't have to Co this, I'm not froing to run away," he said. J'l'm square, you ought to kiow that." His bonds had been fljeed at $30,000. but all the Federal Judges had left the building for the night. Johnson and his attorney attempted to obtain ball, but for a time it seemed as If the prize fighter would be compelled to spend the night in the County Jail. The Fed eral Judges declined to leave their homes to go through the formality of accepting bail. Johaaoa Finally Gets Ball. After several hours' work Johnson found a court clerk willing to act and the prizefighter was taken to the home of his aged mother on the South Side, who signed the bonds, along with sev eral others, and Johnson was released. Lucille Cameron, with whose abduc tion Johnson was charged, was held as a witness in $15,000 bonds. Miss Cameron had not been released from jail, however, early tonight, as she had been unable to find a bonds man. After Max and David Weber had of fered a $15,000 bond for Miss Cameron Judge Landis refused to accept it. I'lans were made to return Miss Cam eron to Rockford, where she has been held in JaO TURKS RALLYING TO FRAY (Contlnqgd From First P. brave Ottoman army is confident of ultimate mocess and that the whole corps of officers Is unanimous for con tinuing the war. Support Promlacd Government The principal officers In Constanti nople have handed the Grand Vizier a eixned declaration in the same spirit, and the party of Union and Progress promises to support the government In prosecuting the war with energy. These conditions are having weight with the jrovernment. Reconnaissances by the eastern army today before Tchorlu failed to show the presence of any Bul garians, but Nazim Pasha reports that a Bulgarian reconnoltering party was repulsed about four miles from Ro il tis to. So far as can be learned here there has been little change in the military situation In the last 24 hours. A sort of self-imposed armistice ob tains on the Thracean plains. Both sides appear to require time to rest and reorganize after their exhaustive efforts. Mud Delays Final Battle. Further rains have transformed the plains into a morass. The roads are difficult for transport and It Is be lieved by Turkish officials that prob ably a week will elapse before hostil ities are resumed along the Tchatalja lines. This battle is expected to de cide the campaign. The rumor -that "alonlkl has been occupied has not been confirmed, but it Is known that the town Is hard pressed. Mussulman refugees continue to ar rive at the outskirts of the capital from practically the whole country south of the Bulgarian advance. The ,-eie outside the city walls at the Adrianople gate is one of direful dis tress. Refnicees Softer Intensely. Men, women and children, carts and cattle are huddled together. The au thorities are trying to supply the im mediate wants of the refugees and have decided to send them to Asia Minor. Thousands have tramped the country the last ten days and have undergone Intense suffering. They say they feared the Invaders would burn the villages. The Ambassadors of the five powers held a meeting; this morning at the porte and there met the Grand Vizier nd the Foreign Minister. It is un derstood they discussed measures of public safety and the question of me diation, but nothing Is known of the decision reached. The powers have made no move with reference to medi ation. GERMAN'S AIDING WOUNDED Fifth Red Cross Expedition Prepar ing to Jo to Front. BERLIX, Nov. 7. The German Red Cross Society Is displaying great ac tivity In furnishing aid to the sick and wounded in the Balkan war. The cen tral committee already has sent Its fourth expedition of physicians and nurses, with medical and sanitary sup plies. This expedition goes to the Turkish side in the western part of the theater of war. A fifth expedition, in course of prepa ration, will Join the Servian forces. Previous expeditions have been sent to Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria. Greeks Capture Zerovlon. CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 7. The commander of the Western Ottoman rrov telegraphs that Zerovlch. which Is on the southernmost loop of the Salonlkl-Monastir Railway, has been captured by the Greeks. He also re ports that a Servian cavalry detach ment with machine guns has been routed at Perlepe. POWERS MAKE NO PROGRESS Antagonisms Thought Certain to Arise Over Settlement. LONDON, Nov. 7. The . report that Saloniki has been evacuated Is prema ture and a similar report concerning Monastlr Is unconfirmed. There is no authentic news of the alleged defeat of the Turks before Tchatalja. On the contrary, a Constantinople dispatch sets forth the Turkish claim that there are no Bulgarians before Tchatalja and that . both' armies are resting. The present lull in news may mean that some important acton is proceed ing. In the meantime, diplomatic ef forts to end the war are making no progress and the European press is busv discussing all the aspects of the settlement of difficult questions. Everything tends to show that almost irreconcilable antagonisms will arise over the allocation of Turkish terri tory. Servia claims as her share a large part of Albania. Including the Adriatic ports of Durazzo, Alessio and San Giovanni In the Mudua. According to the Servian Premiers statement to the Paris Temps, the al lies desire the partion of European Turkey, leaving the fate of Constanti nople to the decision of the powers. According to reports current in Ber lin, the intention of the allies is to di vide Albania between Servia and Greece, but an agreement already ex ists between Austria and Italy which would be supported by Germany, guar anteeing the integrity and independ ence of Albania. The triple alliance Is determined to prevent Servia at all costs from reach ing the Adriatic. It is even asserted that the triple alliance has agreed to make . Albania independent, with the Duke of the Abruzzl as King. Another Important meeting was held at Bucharest today between the Rou manian Premier and the Russian and Austrian Ministers. It is reported that the powers tomorrow will communicate to the Balkan states Turkey's request for mediation. ' DEADLY BATTLE IS WAGED Sen Inns Take Strong Position From Turks at Point of Bayonet. BELGRADE, Nov. 7. Official reports describe the two days' heavy fighting which preceded the surrender of Prilip, 20 miles northeast of Monastir. The Servians outnumbered the Turks, but because of the nature of the ground were unable to use their artillery. They could bring only one mounta battery Into action against the vigorous lire of the Turkish artillery. The Servians were not able to form up in fighting line and were obliged to make big sacrifices, taking one posi tion after another at the point of the bayonet The Turks held such strong posi tions that they should have been able m annihilate the storming parties. Only at the end of the second day did the .Servian Infantry succeed in driving tne enemy from their strongholds and put them to flight tn tne oirecnon ui Monastir. The Servian wounded num bered many more than the Turks. TAFT IS XOT TO INTERVENE President Receives Many Appeals From Advocates of Peace. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.

T TRACED BY LETTER Government Contends Leaders Were Active Preparing Cam-. paign of Violence. HOCKIN "TOO BUSY EAST" Hurry Call Sent by Telegram Is Met by Advice to Secure Local Man: for "Work" in Prospect in Los Angeles. INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 7. Four months' activity on the part of labor leaders on the Pacific Coast preceded the fatal explosion In Los Angeles, ac cording to letters and telegrams lntrq duced by the Government in the trial of the "dynamite plotters" today. From telegrams and letters read to the Jury the Government 'set forth this part o.f its contention as follows: Four months before the Times' build ing was blown up Eugene A. Clancy, a labor leader In San Francisco, who had been Instructed to Investigate la bor conditions in Los Angeles, tele graphed to John J. McNamara in In dianapolis: "The fight is on In Los Angeles. We are going to win. Send Hockin at once." Hockin "Too Busy In East." McNamara, after referring the re quest to Frank M. Ryan, president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, tele graphed Clancy: "Better get a man in Los Angeles to do the work. Hockin too busy in the East." It was about this time, according to Ortle McManigal's confession, that Herbert S. Hockin was leader of the "dynamiting crew." Clancy went to Seattle and on August 16, 1910, H. W. Pohlman, a labor leader there, wrote to J. J. McNamara: "Clancy met his man here after waiting a week for him' and he being here every day. I think I understand the situation." Seattle Building; Blown Up. James B. McNamara was then in Se attel and the Government charges that Clancv met him there. On August 81 an office building under construction In Seattle was blown up. At this time $1000 was voted by the Iron Workers' Union executive board of the California Building Trades Council for use In promoting the union at Los Angeles. A receipt for the amount, signed by Olaf A. Tveltmoe, secretary of the council, was produced. James B. McNamara In the meantime visited San Francisco and later went to Los Angeles, where he blew up the Times' building October 1. Clancy visited Michael J. Young, of Boston, another defendant, but, according to telegrams, hurried back to San Fran cisco, where he heard 21 persons had been killed. Mraraaraa Mlaaion Known. The Government contends the cor respondence shows that McNamara's mission to the Pacific Coast was known to Clancy, Tveltmoe and to J. F. Mun sey, of Salt Lake City, who is charged with harboring the dynamiter for two weeks after the explosion. Testimony that dynamite was taken to the iron workers' headquarters in Indianapolis within a few weeks be fore the McNamaras were arrested was given by Martin J. Hyland, Chief of Police of Indianapolis. He Identified newspapers that had been wrapped about four packages of dynamite. They were newspapers from Cleveland.
