CANADA MAY EXPEL BLACK Department of Justice Officials Say Pugilist Is Likely to Be Sent Back as Alien Under Conviction. Ball May Be Forfeited. MONTREAL, June 26. Jack John son, negro pugilist, who is under prison sentence in Chicago for violation of the white slave act, and who is out on bail, is in this city on the way to Europe. Johnson admitted tonight that he in tended to sail for Europe next Tues day to engage in fights in St. Peters- j burs next September. He -said he did not intend to forfeit his bail bond, which calls for his presence next November in Chicago. Wife Seen AVlth Negro. Reports reached here from Toronto that Johnson and his wife had been in that city, where the fighter had had an interview with his former manager, Tom Flanagan, and had started for Montreal shortly afterward. Flanagan is quoted as saying Johnson intended forfeiting his bail and going to Paris. CHICAGO, June 2C. As soon as agents of the Department of Justice, received a report that Jack Johnson, the negro 'heavyweight pugilist, had been Been in Montreal. Canada, they began to search. At Johnson's home here it was stated that the pugilist had gone on a fishing trip to Cedar Lake, Ind., Charles F. Dewoody, special agent, at once investigated at Cedar Lake and was told that Johnson had not been there for several weeks. "From the circumstances I think not improbable that Johnson has gone to Canada," said Dewoody. "However, he "lay be brought back if there, although the crime is not lnextradltable; as it is the custom of the Canadian police to expel aliens who are under conviction of crime." Bond Reduced Monday. Johnson is. under $15,000 bond pend ing an appeal from his recent sentence under the white slave act to serve one year in the Leavenworth Penitentiary. Ills bond was reduced Monday from $30,000 when the appeal was granted. "If Johnson has fled the country, he meted foolishly," -said Benjamin C. Bachrach, the pugilists attorney. "It was only two days ago we were in court together getting the bond re duced. I saw him Tuesday night, but he said nothing that would Indicate he Intended to flee." Johnson will be returned to this country either by the Canadian authori ties or by those of any foreign coun try to which he might go if It proves true that he attempted to forfeit his bond and leave the United States ac cording to Elwood W. Godman, Chief Assistant District Attorney here. "The Canadian police will send the man back if he is recognized there," said Mr. Godman. "If he goes to France, he will be extradited, as our foreign treaties provide extradition for the offense of which Johnson was con victed." EFFORT TO BUNCO FAILS (Continued From Flryt Page.) York attorney, under the supposition that Lauterbach was representing the user of the telephone. Lauterbach was in the committee room and listened to all the testimony of Mr. Palmer, who spent nearly two hours on the stand. Later he denied that he had tried to secure employment with big- Interests In New York on the strength of supposed power in the Cap itol. He swore that his only effort was to "restore the entente cordlale" he had previously enjoyed with Morgan & Co., and which he thought had been broken because of his friendly relations with David Lamar, whom he described as a "Wall-street operator" who usually op erates on the "bear side of the street." Wall-Street Men to Testify. As a result of Mr. Lauterbach's testi mony the committee probably will call I .a mar. George F. Baker, of the Frist National Bank of New York, Paul D. Cravath, Francis Lynde Stetson and Mr. Ledyard, all New York attorneys, and Charles Steele, of Morgan & Co. To several of these men, Lauterbach. maintained, he had talked about his re instatement in the good graces of the house of Morgan. His only reference to anything in Washington, he said, was as to the general situation here, the tendency to investigate things and the apparent desire for suits against big concerns. Mr. Palmer swore that Lewis Cas3 Ledyard, a New York attorney, had told, him of repeated telephone con versations with a man purporting f be "Representative Palmer, of Penn sylvania," who said he possessed, the confidence of leading Democratic leg islators. After many telephone talks, Mr. Palmer said, Mr. Ledyard met Ed ward Lauterbach, another New York attorney, who was supposed, to repre sent the mysterious user of the tele phone. Lauterbach, he said, spoke of this person's influence with high offi cials in Washington and named sev eral. Lauterbach Denies Assertions. Mr. Lauterbach later took the stand and made a statement denying that he ever had said he had influence with Congressmen. "I don't know people in Washing ton," he said. "I don't know any other people investigating things this year." Mr. Lauterbach explained his conversa tions with Mr. Ledyard by saying that he had talked with him about the al leged interest of Representative Rlor ian in his employment by the Union Pacific Railroad. Mr. Palmer took the stand at his own request. "In view of the turn which your in vestigation has taken by reason ot Judge Lovett's testimony yesterday," he said. "I felt it my duty to acquaint you with an experience of my own of that kind, so that you might-have til; .benefit of it if you cared to pursife this branch of the investigation deeply. Ledyard Calls on Telephone. "Early in February last, while I was nt my home in Pennsylvania I was railed to the telephone to answer what my clerk said was a call from New York. A voice at the other end of the wire said: 'This is Mr. Ledyard. "He spelled his name and said die was Lewis Cass Ledyard, and added: "You ought to know, for you have been talk ing with me over the telephone." "I said, 'You are very much mistaken, Mr. Ledyard. I have never seen you, I have never spoken to you directly or over the telephone -or 'had any commu nication with you. You will have to explain yourself a little further.' "He then went on to say that if that were true there was a strange and remarkable conspiracy afoot in which my name iiad been used, and he then went on to tell me what was to me an amazing story. Amaiias Results Promised. "He said that he had been called on the telephone a short time before that by a gentleman who, after some hesi tation about giving his name, saying that he was Representative in Con gress, finally said he was Representa tive Palmer of Pennsylvania, and this person told Mr. Ledyard that ihe was in a position by reason of his member ship in the House and his relation with prominent members of the House to be of service to interests which Mr. Led yard represented, even going so far as to Eay, as I recall it, that he thought the money trust investigation report could be controlled, that various in vestigations then proceeding, both in Congress and in the courts, affecting large financial interests in New York City, could be adjusted satisfactorily, and promising most amazing results from his efforts in Washington. "Mr.- Ledyard detailed that conversa tion to me and in- the next two or three days he had perhaps a half dozen other telephone conversations with the same person, in which this person went into even greater detail about how and why ne was in a position to grant legislative favors. Impersonator Fights Shy. "After each of the telephone conver sations that Mr. Ledyard had with this party over the wire in New York Mr. Ledyard called me on the telephone and repeated them to me for the double purpose of having evidence at hand that it was an impersonation, that I was actually at that time many miles away from New York, and also to ac quaint me with the proceeding, think ing that perhaps as a member of the House I ought to know about it. "Mr. Ledyard endeavored to ' get a personal interview with the man. He fought shy at that, saying, as I recollect It, that no good would be accomplished from a personal interview with him, but promised to see him later, and even went so far as to declare that in the next day or so he was obliged to be In Bethlehem, which is in my district, so that he could not meet Mr. Ledyard at an hour that Mr. Ledyard suggested for a conference. "Mr. Ledyard thought the telephone company, and I think various other agencies, made an earnest effort to lo cate the person who talked with him over the telephone. The best ho could do was to trace the telephone calls, and he traced them to a place which satis fied him as to who the party was. Lauterbach Appears on Scene. "Those statements finally led to Mr. Ledyard's making an appointment to meet the gentleman whom this person named and. at the hour of the appoint ment there appeared at Mr. Ledyard's house Mr. Edward Lauterbach, a mem ber of the bar of New York City, as I understand. "Mr. Ledyard and Mr. Lauterbach had a long conversation about this matter, Mr. Lauterbach taking it up apparently from the thread which had been laid down by the pseudo Palmer over the telephone. Mr. Lauterbach declared he spoke for several 'important gentlemen' in the House of Representatives who were able to do the things which the person who had been telephoning to Mr. Ledyard said could be done, and when doubt was expressed by Mr. Ley yard as to the truth of such allega tions, Mr. Lauterbach, as I recall it, urged Mr. Ledyard to come to Wash ington or to meet elsewhere in person certain gentlemen High in the House organizafon, even going so far as to mention the name- of the Speaker and the floor leader, and I think one or two other important members of the House."

SECRET Wife and Son Have Xo Idea How Much May Have Been Stolen by Man Who Slew Pendell. Finger Prints Puzzling. LOS ANGELES, June 26. Investiga tion today into the murder of Charles E. Pendell, a money lender, only tended to Increase the confusion of circum stances surrounding the case. The po lice were unable to discover what the murderer obtained other than the dia monds worn by Pendell. Nor did a series of arrests today definitely pro duce satisfactory evidence. Examination of the safety deposit boxes in two banks where the real es tate dealer and money lender kept his valuables and papers also failed to prove that anything was missing which might have a connection with the mur der. Family Can Help Little. Although most methodical in his habits, Pendell's accounts showed no clear record of his possessions and the widow and son, Harry Pendell, could assist the police little. "The loss may be $1000 or $10,000 or $100,000, I do not know," said the son. Pendell's abnormal love of gems is held accountable by many for the mur der. Aside from wearinsr twn monds of large size, he is said to have possessed many gems of great value which he frequently bought, sold or traded in connection with his money lending business. Just how many diamonds he pos sessed nobody could learn. Friends said that he once boasted that his gems, if collected, would fill the crown of a hat. Finger Print Experts at Sen. FingXir print experts puzzled over the lack of models from which to examine suspects. The murderer evldenly took great pains to prevent leaving any trace of his thumbs, using pieces of a handkerchief to protect his hands. A. few bloody finger marks on the body, however, gave some basis for an inves. tigation. Nothing was left in the room that would furnish a clew. David Parten, a hanger-on in a pri vate detective's office next door to Pendell's room, was released today. The examination produced nothing. Several other suspects were examined for thumb marks without results. PENDELL SLIDE FORTUNE HERE Los Angeles Man Tells History of Monte Carlo Gambling-House. Further light on the rich money -"ai-ies pendell, who was brutally murdered in .his office yester day In Los Angeles, was given to The Oregonian last- nivht k . .

" jwiew me deceased man qui wen. rendpn. it Aomo .. - ' -- - - ...... ,io.a x icbi dent Of Portland fnr enm lt.. 1- nine months and made considerable money by srambHnsr It was about 20 years ago that Mr. Pendell came here from the East with quite a large sum of money that he had made by his success as a card player back East," said Mr. Myrick. rHis real business before coming out here, however, was the grocery trade, and that also had netted him a com fortable sum. This he brought with him and did little else but finance what was called, I think, . the Monte Carlo gambling house on Third street. He never appeared much in the business, which was run by his partners, Fitz gerald and Durkee, for whom he put up the money. "Out of that he made a considerable fortune and then went down to Los Angeles, where he made some remark able deals in real estate and where he was noted for his clever lending of mony. It was generally understood there that he was worth between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, not $250,000. While in Portland he lived at the Hotel Portland all the time and did not ap pear in public a great deal. To my mind there is little doubt but that there was a motive to the crime." DIVORCE REFUSED NURSE Woman Who Married Patient to Save Life Must Remain His Wife. LOS ANGELES, June 26. Although Mrs. Dorothy Lander, in seeking a di vorce from Kirk C.

Mrs. Lander said she had met Lander In a hospital, where she had acted as his nurse. He had refused to submit to a surgical operation, she testified, unless she promised to marry him. So she promised and later went through the ceremony, she declared, for purely humanitarian reasons. v She never lived with her husband, whom she sued on a charge of non support.

SEATTLE, Wash., June 26. S. Fos ter Kelley, the former Seattle banker who figured in a sensational escapade two years ago with Mrs. Ivy May Henry, wife of a bank clerk, was sued for divorce today by Mrs. Sara E. C. Kelley. Mrs. Kelley alleges cruelty and that she has been subjected to hu miliation because of her husband's conduct. She asks for the custody of their three minor children. When Ivy May Henry sued Albert J. Henry, a clerk in the bank of which Kelley was an officer, for divorce two years ago, Henry filed a cross-complaint alleging that" Kelley had been unduly attentive to Mrs. Henry. During the litigation Mrs. Henry and her two children disappeared and were found in San Francisco with Kelley. Mrs. Henry and Kelley were arrested for violating an order of a San Fran cisco court requiring her to leave the children in the care of a Juvenile bffi cer pending the outcome of the case in the Washington courts. The chil dren were returned to Seattle and awarded to the father, to whom the divorce was granted. Several months after the excitement caused by the Henry divorce had died down Kelley returned to Seattle and effected a reconciliation with his wife.
