FROM JUDGE
nC0Uver, B. C„ March 10.—The Vancouver hotel p.
^rew the color line very strictly last night on Jack Johns.

..
White Wife. At the St. Francis he was told they were
<_|i to overflowing, The clerk was very sorry, but "really, Mr.
ohnson. is cannot be helped.” The same performance was re
reated at five other hotels.
F Johnson took the first turn down gracefully, but lost his teni-
ashe went from hotel to hotel and became abusive. Late in
evening he obtained accommodations at the Dominion, a
downtown house, and spent part of the night at the home of
George Paris, a boxing instructor.
This morning he could not be found anywhere, although an
„my of messenger boys with telegram and telephone calls from
Seattle and other places searched for him.
V Johnson repeatedly sidestepped when asked to make a def
inite statement that he would fight Jeffries. When pinned
down he always took another tack and brought up some irrele-
nnt story of Australia.
Sam Fitzpatrick, Johnson’s former manager, who was de
posed after the championship mantle fell on Johnson's shoulders,
says Johnson can lick the boilermaker or any other man on earth.

'■’cago, March 10.—Judge
.on today decided to in-
Si.
the jury In the case of
the government against the
Standard Oil Company to ren
der a verdict of r.ot guilty.
The decision came at the close
of a long argument by Assist
ant District Attorney Wilker
son, and the jury was immedi
ately brought into the court
room and instructed to bring
in a verdict of not guilty.
This means that all but two
indictments
against
the
Standard Oil Company Will
be abandoned by the gov-
ernment
and
eliminates
any possibility of a heavy fine
being imposed against the
company.
This is the retrial of the
case in which Judge Landis
imposed a fine of over $29,-
000,000, which was reversed
and set aside by the United
States court of appeals.
