charce of violating; the Mann act.
i No longer la Johnson's "golden
smile" visible.
His hard. losing fight. waged
throughout an afternoon and evening
session of Judge Landis' court, dejected
him greatly.
A. he left the Federal building,
handcuffed to Deputy Marshal Edward
Xorthrop, after a. futile plea not to
have his wrist manacled, his shoulders
werj stooped and his head hung down.
He said nothing.
Johnaoa Sbeds Team.
In the course of his extended battle
for bond. Johnson shed tears, pleaded,
offered cash bond in almost any
amount, and employed two attorneys,
ruvld Backrach and Ertvard Morris,
In an effort to obtain his release.
Thre prospective bondsmen failed to
qualify, and. one of them. Albert Jones,
was sent to Jail after he had failed to
obtain a bond of $10,000 for nis appear
ince la court next Monday to answer a
charge of contempt which was lodged
against him by the court when he at
tempted to schedule property said to
belong to his wife.
Tony Mann. another prospective
bondsman, was ordered out of court
because ho gave answers to questions
which the court considered untruthful
terra Plrada for Liberty.
"Give cash bond in any amount, but
for goodness sake keep me out of
jail." Johnson pleaded with his attor
neys.
Roth District Attorney Wilkerson
and Judge Landis refused to consider
a cash bond.
'An unparalleled attempt to swindle-
this court by offering unquanriea
bondsmen has been made." said Judge
Landis. "I will not consider a cash
bond."
Mr TVllkerson said he understood
that "Johnson Intended to leave this
country on November 30 If h obtained
his release. The crime with which
Johnson Is charged Is not extraditable.
After Johnson learned that only
surety by. property owners would be
accepted he made a plaintive plea for
an extension of time. First he asked
that he be permitted to present new
bondsmen at a night session, which
the court was holding for the consid
eration of another case.
Court Refaaea Lraleaey.
Having failed to obtain his release
at the night session, his attorneys
sought to have the time extended until
tomorrow noon. Johnson thought he
would be able- to obtain bond which
his attorneys might not secure, but the
court was not Inclined to extend lenl
enev any further.
Coincident wtth the Incarceration of
Johnson. Mrs. Catherine Dorsey, with
whom Lueile Cameron Is said to have

The wide discrepancy In the complete
returns from Los Angeles County as
compared with the earlier returns a
change that wiped out an apparent
'cad of approximately 6000 votes for
Wilson In the state was due In part
to a switch In the method of tallying
the popular vote. At the outset the
record was made up from the vote cast
for the head of each electoral ticket.
Later, when It became apparent that
any Roosevelt Progressives had not

fContlmiFd From First Pt
Balkan allies and of the determination
of Austria that their ambitions snail
not be realized. It is difficult to adjust
the two points of view. It is said that
Germany. Austria-Hungary and Italy
will agree to let Servia have a port on
the Aegean Sea. but Servia wants part
of Albania and a port on the Adriatic
Sea, and her armies are now pushing in
that direction.
POWERS' CONCERT DISCORDANT
'Alliance" and Entente at Outs Over
Claims of Servia.
PARIS. Nov. 8. Two groupa of Eu
ropean powers, known as tne triple
alliance and the triple entente, which
together compose the so-called concert
of Europe, today found themselves
badly out of tune over the rupture be
tween Servia and Austria on the ques
tion of Servian access to the Adriatic
Sea.
With Russia leading, France and
England are inclined to support the
Servian claims on which Austria-Hungary,
encouraged by Germany and Italy
apparently has placed a direct veto.
Among other bristling international
difiiculties over which diplomatic Paris
s gravely concerned are:
The compensation Koumania wiu ae
mand as an offset to the aggrandize
ment of Bulgaria.
The future standing of ths Dardan
elles, Constantinople, Salonlki and Tur-
kev in Asia.
The fate of the islands' in the Aegean
Sea.
The regime to be Introduced in Al
bania.
The adjustment of the conflicting
Austrian and Italian special claims In
such a way that other powers shall
not be prejudiced.
Apart from all these visible contro
versies, comes news of the proclama
tion of a Russian protectorate over
Chinese territory equal in extent to
one-third of the whole of Europe.

Kemal added, if Albania were divided.

"The Maiissorl tribesmen are fighting

have the highest authority tof stating:
Firstly, that the expected disagreement
between Austria and Servia over the
Balkan settlement will constitute the

Secondly, that Servia must define her
attitude within a few days.
Thirdly, that Austria demands and
these demands are immutable a cus
toms and commercial union with Servia

tain this unless a great power inter

NEW JERSEY VOTE SMALL
Poll Estimated' as 83,000 Lees Than
It Might Have Been.
NEWARK, N. J., -Nov. 8. The total
vote cast for President last Tuesday
in New Jersey with a few districts
still missing, will fall, it is estimated
at least 68,000 below the vote of four
years ago. Taking into account that
the normal increase in voting popula
tion since 1908 is figured at 25.000, the
political managers estimate that the
total this year was 83,000 less than
might have been expected. In view of
the unusual Interest In the recent Na-
tlonal contest.
Based on present estimates the totSl
Wilson vote in New Jersey was 168,
000, 14,000 -less than the vote cast for
Bryan in 190S. The combined Taft and
Roosevelt vote was 221,000 In round
numbers, 44,000 less than the Taft vote
of four years ago.

WARSH1PSRfclVE ORDERS
Administration Believes Vessels May
Be N'eeded as Places of Refuge
in Event Disorder Is
Beyond Control.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. Two big
American armored cruisers, the Ten
nessee and the Montana, have received
rush orders to proceed to Turkish
waters to look after the interests of
American citizens.
The cruisers are now In reserve at
the Philadelphia Navy-yard, the Ten
nessee being the flagship of Rear
Admiral Austin M. Knight. They
should be ready to sail within 24 htfUrs
and under ordinary conditions should
reach Constantinople" about November
25 if they proceed with dispatch.
Full complements of marines wjll be
carried by the two cruisers when they
sail for Turkish waters? Orders were
issued late today for assembling the
required number at Philadelphia. From
the Norfolk Navy-yard, 400 marines
will be drawn. They will go by spe
cial train to Philadelphia.
Ships Intended for Refuge.
The first disposition of the State De
partment had been to refrain from
sending any American warships to the
Bosphorus, for the double reason that
Kheir appearance might be taken as an
evidence of American participation in
the present Balkan War and its set
tlement and that so rapid has been
the progress of the war that probably
the, ships could not reach Constanti
nople in time to be of any service.
Since the President's return from
Cincinnati, however, and after a con
ference with the State Department offi
cials, the fact was demonstrated that
American naval vessels could be em
ployed as places of refuge for Ameri
can citizens In Turkey, In case of gen
eral anarchy or the existence of con
ditlons of disorder beyond the control
of the military commanders on both
sides.
Formal Explanation Made.
The formal explanation of the is
suance of the orders Is as follows:
"In view of rumors of past disturb
ances in Turkey, the President has
ordered two battleships to proceed to
the Mediterranean with a view to re
lieving any apprehension that might be
felt by American missionaries and edu
cators, who are, there In great num
bers, especially at Beirut and Smyrna.
The American Ambassador at Constan
tinople is under Instructions to confer
with his European colleagues, whose
governments are more Immediately in
terested, and is understood to be pre
pared to take, what measures might be
necessary. IT by any cnance conditions
of turbulence affecting the safety of
foreigners should arise."
Cutter Sent In Emergency.
The revenue cutter Unalga, now at
Port Said, will be turned back from
the Suez and ordered to rush to the
Turkish coast, where, after a three and
one-half days' sail, she could arrive a
full fortnight ahead of the big cruisers.
The Unalga Is a fine new craft, com
manded by. Captain R. O. Crisp. She
carries a crew of 70 men and could
furnish refuge for 600 or more Ameri
cans.
A special , train is now taking 400
bluejackets from the Norfolk Navy
Yard to fill out the crews of the Mon
tana and Tennessee. Captain Harry A.
Field will be in 'command of the Ten
nessee, while Captain W. B. Fletcher
will command the Montana. Both ves
sels always carry six months' supplies,
and with the stocks of their larders In.

ber, should famine follow the disaster

Man Last With Murdered Man
Leaves Auto Unclaimed in 4
East Side Garage.
DETECTIVES ARE MYSTIFIED
Charles Bar teller, Representative of
"Buster Brown" Cartoonist, Pails
to Call Tor Machine. He Left
to Be Repaired. "
After weeks of fruitless Investigation
of the mystery- surrounding the mur
der of Harry G. Barr, which occurred
September 16 on the Linnton road, the
police detectives find themselves con
fronted by a mystery subsidiary to the
murder, though apparently not con
nected with it. The problem is to de
termine why Charles Bartcher, one of
the last persons with Barr before his
murder, abandoned an automobile at an
East Side garage two days before the
crime and never has reappeared to
claim It.
Bartcher was one of the party of
three whom Barr hauled to the Hut
tavern shortly before, .9 o'clock on the
night of the murder, and left there,
When his body was found by the road
side the next morning. Bartcher and
his companions were taken into cus
todv and were closely questioned, but
all probability that they knew anything
of the crime, was quickly removed from
consideration.
Car Remain at Garage.
Now it develops that on September
14, two days before the. murder,
Bartcher left at the Ford garage, East
Eighth street and Hawthorne avenue,
