A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.

Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, and former heavyweight champion, is truly a man without a country. Jack was forced to flee from the United States a few years ago to escape Mann act charges. The negro went to Spain where he was a public idol for a time, but his numerous escapades in that country caused the government to sour on him and ’he w# ordered to hunt a new home. France, England and Germany wanted none of his kind so, as a last resort, he turned to Mexico where bad morals do not injure one’s standing. But it seems that Mexico, as bad as she is, can’t put up with Johnson, and he has just been ordered to leave that country. U. S. officials are waiting for him at the border and he probably will"be in the clutches of the U. S. court within a few days.

FISH AND GAME CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED HERE

State Organizer A. E. Bodine of the State Fish and Game department, Indianapolis, is in the city today talking to local fishermen and hunters concerning organization. / The state department is anxious to have a fish and game club in every county of the state, says Mr. Bodine, to which the department may make its shipments of fish and game. More will be sent co an organized county than will be sent to individuals. This-is not a commercial proposition in any way. The state needs the co-operation of ’local fishermen and hunters in improving fish and game conditions, says the state man here. A meeting of sportsmen has been set for Friday night, June 25, at which a Jasper county fish.’ and game club will be discussed and probably launched, if the sentiment is sufficiently strong for such, a move. The meeting will be held at the Moose club rooms. The' state organizer will be there. About forty county associations exist in Indiana at present. These are united into a state league, called the Fish, Game and Forest League, before which all questions relating to conservation and propagation of wild game come up. An annual meeting is held by this league at Indianapolis in the fall of each year.

HIGH SCHOOLS SHORT 26,000 FOR THEIR STAFF

Washington, D. Q., June 16.— Twenty-six thousand teachers are needed to fill vacancies in high schools opening in September, according. to the federal bureau of education. The estimate is based on 7,088 replies to questionnaires sent out by the bureau. The total number , of high school teachers needed will be 98,775. More than one-fourth of those who taught last year do not intend to teach during the coming year, it was found. Replies received from colleges show 10,620 graduates of this year plan to teach. The shortage must be filled in two days, the bureau says: “First, by recalling former teachers, and, second, placing teachers with less training than that of college graduates in charge of high school classes.” /

WILL RESORT TO BOOZE

DEMOCRATS WILL ADOPT WET PLANK IN EFFORT TO STEM REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE •’ . ■ With certain defeat staring them in the face at the election this fall, the Democratic bosses, who are in secret session’at French Lick this week, did exactly what was expected of them Wednesday when they 'declared themselves in favor of anti-prohibition plank, the eradication of Wilsonism and the squelching' of Willie Bryan. . The Democratic “big guns” realize that the situation is a desperate one and that if they are not to be annihilated this fall they must curry the favor of the wet voter, which will lose them more votes than they will gain. The following are the outstanding features ,of the Wednesday con-; ference at French Lick: I—A stiff fight will be made at San Francisco to eliminate President Wilson from party councils and to nominate a ticket which will go before the people free of Witoonism. 2—This fight will center on William G. McAdoo, the President’s son-in-law, and will advance the presidential aspirations of anti-ad-ministration candidates. 3—The strongest of these entrants at present is Governor Cox of Ohio. Governor Smith of New York and Herbert Hoover also are mentioned and may be uMed as run-ners-up in the anti-McAdoo fight. No Place For Bryan. 4—William Jennings Bryan also is to be attacked. It was decided today to force a “personal liberty” plank at San Francisco. This probably will find expression in party commitment to state’s rights in prohibition enforcement ana liberalization of the Volstead act to permit consumption of light wines and beers. s—There is a strong, undercurrent against any league of nations declaration and a move will be _made first, to declare, against President .Wilson’s league, and second, to underwrite the league with reservations if defeat meets the first proposition. The anti-prohibition plank at San Francisco will be directed against William Jennings Bryan, Ex-Senator C. W. Watson of West Virginia, and Senator Mark O. Smith of Arizona, were outspoken tonight for .personal liberty in' regard to prohibition.

Dry Sentiment Wanes. Additional reports from the South and Southwest showed a sharp falling off ’in prohibition sentiment and an inclination to seek- votes on a beer and wine basis. Tammany will play .a' leading role in the anti-prphibition fight, it was stated today. _ The New York delegation also is expected to lead the fight against President Wilson. Leaders here are loathe to express open aversion to the President, or the league of nations, but covertly they are. bitter against the Washington administration and today began plans to take control'from Wilson followers. A sharp fight against the league of nations will be made on the convention floor and strength enough is promised to make necessary a compromise hy administration representatives, which is counted upon to eliminate McAdoo. . Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, President Wilson’s spokesman, win ■be the center of attack along with McAdoo. Wilson and Bryan Fight. This program of independent Democrats will present a curious alignment at San Francisco. Wilson men will line up with the independents in the anti-Bryan fight, while Bryan is expected to co-oper-ate with the same body in the antiWilson campaign. This may leave the anti-WHson and anti-Bryan delegations in a strategic position. It is expected a balance of power will result in repudiation of many of the Wilson policies. There is no disposition to manhandle the President, but his managers will be quietly informed tiiat “f or the good of the party the less said about the league of nations and other Wilson policies the better. Another project of Democrats is the incorporation in the platform of a definite policy looking toward the reduction of the high cost of living, and a labor program calculated to crystallize labor resentment against the Republican platform as expressed at Chicago.

ILLINOIS PRIMARY LAW IS DECLARED UNCONSTITUTION’L

Springfield, Hl., June 16.——The state supreme court today held the Illinois primary law unconstitutional. ' t The validity of the primary Section law, which was passed by the state legislature in 1919, was attacked by attorneys for" William Fox, convicted in Chicago of fraudulent voting in the primary election held April 13, 1920. The case was brought to the supreme court on a writ of error. The decision throws state central committees of the political parties and all county central committees out, and reinstates old committees elected under the old primary law now revived. It dislodges the Mayor Thompson faction in Chicago and returns to power the Deneen-Brun-dage forces. Elsewhere it upsets plans for special elections.
