Jack Johnson may be convicted and TO O. W. WEST, OP PORTLAND. sent to prison, but his troubles with the law are not likely to cause a post ponement of the big fight. Johnson Is now under indictment on a charge of assault In the second de gree, the allegation being that he broke a chair over the countenance of a small negro named Pinder. If convicted he can be sent to state's prison for not more than five years. - ' ' ' Although' the general feeling in New York is that Johnson should be escorted from the arena to the rockplle, our sports do not want anything to in terfere with the set-to with Jeffries. Under ordinary circumstances, John son's case would not have been reached until September. District Attorney Whitman, however, has honored the prizefighter by transferring his case to the criminal branch' of the Supreme Court. This means that the trial will take place within a few weeks. Case Will Be Pressed. From inquiries made at the Criminal Courts building, it was learned that the District Attorney is determined to press the case. It can be said unofficially, however, that he will not over exert himself to save Johnson from having his "block knocked off" by Jeffries. According to the court procedure, any person convicted of crime (except it be murder) can be released on bail, pending appeal, if a justice of the Su preme Court will sign a certificate of reasonable doubt.

AIRSHIPS ON EXHIBITION PURE FOOD SHOW TO MACHINES. SEE Numerous Interesting Features Are Scheduled for Display During Next Two Weeks. Starting tomorrow and continuing for a period of two weeks, Portland will be given an opportunity for a rare educational exhibit of airships and airship models. This exhibit, to be shown free of charge, will be given in connection with the Pure Food Show on the fourth floor of the. Meier & Frank store. There will be numerous interesting features to the big aviation exhibit, not the least of which will be a large Farman biplane, which will be brought here by M. Lawrence Dare, the French aviator, and demonstrated by him. This Farman biplane i3 an exact rep lica of the machine with which Far man once established a world's rec ord for height at the Rheims, France, exhibit, with a mark of 765 feet, and which later attained a height of over 3000 feet. The car measures 30 feet from tip to tip and may probably be used for an actual flight by Monsieur Dare, should the weather permit. The real airship will be exhibited In conjunction with seven other models of airships, which will be demonstrated hourly by Monsieur Dare and two as sistants, who will accompany him here. These consist of a Bleriot machine of the cross-channel type, an Antoinette monoplane, a Santos Dumont mono plane, a Langley monoplane, a Sommer double monoplane, a Wright biplane and a Chanute glider. The exhibit will be continued for a period of two weeks and will be open to the public at all times. It will be held in the room which has been set aside for showing the Curti biplane recently purchased by Henry Wemme. Toy balloons, far above the usual size, will be released every few min utes from the top of the Meier A Frank building all week. These bal loons will carry an "aerogram," bear ing a message to the finder, which will be redeemable at one of the booths in the Pure Food Show. The balloons will be large, four-foot spheres, which will be released every few minutes during the remaining two weeks of the ehow. This will be done as an added attraction . to the Pure Food Show. The exhibitors at the Pure Food Show all declare that this. . the . fifth annual exhibit. . has been by far the most successful of the several shows held in Portland. As In the opening weeks, every booth continues giving away some . sample of the material which has been on display and for the last three days, which have been chil dren's days, the attendance at the booths where sweetmeats afid cookies have been handed out. has been no ticeably increased.
