JACK JOHNSON ORDERED OUT OF MEXICO; U. S. FEDERAL AGENTS AWAIT HIM AT HORDE I
FORMER GLOVE CHAMP GIVEN MEXICAN BOOT Wild Life of OBIg Smoke’ Arouses Ire of Lower California Officials. HE’S HEADED FOR JAIL By W. BOYD GATEWOOD, International News Staff Correspondent. TLA JUANA, Mexico, June 15.—Jack Jehason, neftro, former heavyweight boxinf champion of the 'world, who for eight year* has been a. fugitive from Justice on a conviction of "white slavery” in Chicago, will be in the custody of the department of Justice of the United States late today or early' tomorrow, according to announcement emanating from the executive offices of lower California today. Johnson has been given twenty-four hourfc in which to leave Mexico, believed to be the last place of refuge on the face of the earth for him. DRIVE AGAINST UNDESIRABLES ON. Caught in the country-wide drive against the undesirables, which la now sweeping hundreds of "men without a country" out of Mexico, Johnson is being reported as an "undesirable alien.” United States officers are waiting at the international line. There is no place he can go except to Jail, it is said. Deeplsed by the Mexicans, disowned by the better class of Ms own race and boned by the Americans from their establishments here, Johnson gradually naa been getting himself marked for deportation. Such la the information given out in a statement made today by Superior Judge Luis Cacho of the Tia Juana court, before whom charges of lawlessness and "offensive arrogance” were filed against Johnson. Some ot the charges are theee: Johnson hag a white valet, a poor .American boy, said to have been shellshocked and gassed in the Argonne. He is Jack Johnson’s slave, to ao the black man’s every bidding, the victim of a weakened mental force from hU. war experiences and of which weakened condition Johnson is said to take outrageous advantage. There are two sinister charges on file against Johnson by two young girls. JBKRTAL ATTACK ON MEXICAN MAID. One charges a brutal attempted attack en Ylncenta Espinosa. 20-year-old maid, formerly In the employ of the black man's white wife, bet who was forced to take haveft in another house to escape Johnson's alleged abuse. The other charge Is one of a similar nature brought by an Americanized Mexican girl, by whose beauty Johnson was drawn. Then there is the common story of two white girls accosted by the negro, but protected when their friends intervened. These charges are actually filed with the Mexican Judge. The Mexican courts move slowly here, but Judge Cacho explained that thesc complaints were part of a chain of evidence gathered by the Mexican authorities as a basis for the procedure to deport the prize fighter as an undesirable alien. Part of other evidence concerns the mysterious shooting of Jack Johnson’# nephew, €us Rhodes, a young negro whom Johnson has taken around with him all over the world. Rhodes was shot when Johnson, his white wife and others of a party were en route from Mexico City to Mexicala. TWO STORIES Ok SHOOTING. Rhodes’ right arm was shattered bv a revolver ball. Johnson told one story immediately on his arrival at Mexicala with the wounded nephew and another story Biter on. ... The first story was that Rhodes had shot himself. But the wound was in the right arm. The next was that Johnson himself had shot him—accidentally. The Mexican authorities are working on the last story, eliminating the accident angle. The motive for this family shooting was a domestic one. the Mexicans claim. They base tbeir findings on the testimony Gs Mrs. Johnson's former maid. x Americans here have interested themselves into Johnson's white boy vaiet and are now conducting an investigation of his circumstances. He claims his name is E. W. Brown, formerly of Chicago. He says his mother lives in Clevela#!. 0.. and that her name is Mrs. Ruth Prentiss, she having married again since theydeath of Brown's father, which was ' before the boy gravttated across the border into the personal service of Jack Johnson, fugitive from the law. Meanwhile Jack Johnson's days of fteedom a-e numbered and are growing few. Mexico h*s moved to evict him and Uncle Sam's officers are waiting at the boundary wirh bracelets of steel. Jack Johnson's pathway has been long and sometimes thriving, but at Its end there leoms an American Jail.

His logic came down from the pas’. Pitchers of old batted mostly because the rules prescribed nine men in the batting order. The worth of,a modern pitcher, however, Is measured a great deal by hia power with the stick. Joining In the van of sluggers, hurlrrs In tne major leagues this year are helping to make It the hlttln’est of years. (Eleven games have been broken up so far by nie timely clout of a pitcher. Big Jim Vaughn of the Cubs has won two of his own games with the stick. Although his longest clout last season was a double, he tripled in the ninth with the bases full in a game with the Pirate# this season and won A 'l”' the Cards in another game he singled in the ninth and got tne decision. Jack Quinn, the veteran Yankee boxman, broke into the hall of fame by bitting a home run off Coveleskle with cne 00. beating Cleveland, 2 to 0.
