NEGRO NOW IS LONELY Former Hero Worshippers Fail to Appear at Pugilist's Cafe After Kis Return From Incar ceration in Jail. CHICAGO. Nov. IS. (Special.) Jack Johnson's first night's sleep -out of Jail all but cost 400. That Is the amount of a bond that was declared forfeited by Municipal Judge Caverly while Johnson was peacefully sleeping at his home on South Dearborn street. The forfeiture was set aside, however, when It was learned that the pugilist was- celebrating his first day of free , dom by nothing more Berlous than sleeping. Otherwise tne day was not a par ticularly pleasant one for the negro : prizefighter. He made futile appeal to United States District Attorney Wil kerson to have the United States "let up" on the pending prosecution against him on a charge of violating the Mann ' white slave act. Former Friend Abarnt. He had to argue for five minutes to prevent Judge Caverly from setting the case in which he is charged with assault and battery for Friday the thirteenth. Moreover,, the hero-worshipers who once passed their time about his "Cafe de Champion" did not put in their appearance at an, ana ine day was a lonely one for him while he was not arguingwlth Judges and prosecutors. Johnson's case was called by Muni cipal Judge Caverly eX 10 o'clock in the morning. E. F. Weigle, newspaper photographer who charges that he was attacked with a cane by the pugilist, was present, and his lawyer ready for trial. But Johnson had not materialized. "Johnson is a sick man and could not come." said Edward Wright, coun sel for Johnson. "He's no better than anybody else, and I demand that his bond be for feited for his failure to be here," said the attorney for Weigle. "That Is right, his bond is declared forfeited," said Judge Caverly. Jury Trial Anked. After much discussion It was de cided to give him an hour and a half to get to court, after which he coum not hope to have his bond reinstated. His lawyer set out to find him, dis covered that he was enjoying a beauty sleep, and hustled him into court for trial. When Johnson finally arrived in court ha asked for a Jury trial and the case was transferred to Municipal Judge Cottrell and set for December 11. After the morning's court proceed ings, Johnson against the advice of his lawyer, called upon Mr. Wilkerson in the Federal building In an effort to ob tain a promise that a heavy fine might he Imposed against him in the white slave caes now pending. Mr. Wilkerson refused to say Just what transpired, but it was admitted that the pugilist was told that no cash settlement could be made where a crime was charged. "It you are found guilty you will have to take a penitentiary sentence," the Government prosecutor Is quoted as saying. "Why, my God, man, I Just can't go to the penitentiary," Johnson Is said to have responded. . Mr. Wilkerson grimly told him to wait and see, which Johnson ftnally agreed to do. 34.00 . 0 Postage stamps are manu factured each day by our Government.

He was a boy 19 years old when In Chicago Heights he visited a fortune teller, who told- him that Thomas Franklin White was not his real father. "I see a curly-haired woman who will tell you the truth," the clairvoy ant told him. Noll Immediately thought of his foster-sister and he went straightway to her. From her he learned for the first time that his name was not Noll and not White, and that those whom he . had looked upon as his father, mother and sister, were no relation to him whatever. This story was brought out today in the Probate Court in the testimony of Thomas F. White, the boy's foster father. Recently the boy learned of the death of his mother's brother, Joseph H.
