AFTER POLICIES ON BOXERS

Nw York, March 25. -Jack Johnson, the heavyweight pugilist, was again In the court of general sessions yesterday before Judge Mulqueen, where he came to renew the bail bond on which he was released yesterday pending his trial tor assaulting Norman Pindar, a negro of diminutive stature. The pugilist had been In court for some time when Judge Mulqueen noticed him seated In the rear and said: , "I "see Mr. Johnson In the audience. Is he being detained here? Call him up." Johnson stepped up to the rail and faced the judge. He wore a quiet, dark uit. In marked contract to the light clothes he had on yesterday. He asked the Judge If he might talk about his case, and, being permitted to do so, said: "I have been here In this court every time I was wanted, and I have always actad In good faith In this matter. I am being sued civilly for theatrical con. tracts which I have been compelled. to break because I have been detained here. I have come at times from CanAda, Kansas City and other distant places when wanted." "I have nothing to do with that," anawered Judge Mulqueen. "You must .settle the question of your bail bond.

It Is all your -own fault. You may be a strong man, but you are not strong enough to overcome the law. Where are the witnesses who should appear In

your case?"

Johnson said he knew of one witness a woman whose name he did not know. "I call her Redhead," said the pugil

ist, "and she lives at "West Thirty-fifth street." He gave the address to the court. Asked if he knew where Pindar was, Johnson replied that he did not. and wished he could find him, so that the matter might be settled and he could get back to his theatrical work. The new bond was made out and Johnson went away. Johnson was finally admitted to ball, the security being furnished by Mrs. Hannah C; Walker, a negress, who conducts the Press hotel at 19 West 135th street. She said she had a $40,000 equity In the place and Judge Mulqueen accepted her. As Boon as he was free, Johnson went

to the office of the city chamberlain to get the $1,500 cash he first deposited when indicted. This done, he made a quick rush for his suitcase and left on the Twentieth Century Limited yesterday afternoon for Chicago.

Each Berger Plans Big Tour.

the big end of the purse was evident, as he had a conference during the day with H. H. Fraxee for an around-the-

world tour after the big fight. Berger, Gotch, Corbett. Ketchel and possibly Ad Wolgast or Battling Nelson may be

Included. Gleason will meet Jack Johnson to

day upon the latter's return from New

York and impress upon the colored fel

low the necessity of being out at his coast training quarters at least by May 1. Jeffries will be at his own quarters by April 4, and Gleason thinks the black should at least be on the coast two

months in advance.

NO FLUFFY RUFFLES FOR PIRATE CHAMPS Pittsburg, March 25. A communication has been received from Fred Clarke at the office of the Pittsburg baseball club saying that In choosing uniforms for the coming season he has decided not to have "World's Champions" across the breast of the blouses, as has been the custom with other champions. Clarke says he does not think -'f rills" do his team any good and orders further that the little monogrom which the Pittsburgs carried on their sleeves last year be eliminated. .

That Jeffries will be a 2-to-l favorite against Jack Johnson when the pair meet at Emeryville July 4 was the belief of Jack Gleason of San Francisco, who, with 'Tex" Rlckard, Is staking the

big battle. Gleason, in company with Sam Berger, manager for the boilermaker, arrived In Chicago yesterday to

make the preliminary arrangements for

the bout. Gleason, however, asserted that the odds were not of his making.

but that the people on the Pacific

coast have already made up their minds as to who will win, and Jeff, in the opinion of the "native sons," will draw down the prize. Gleason nailed the stories about the possibility of either fighter flunking 6ut of the match by stating that one of the reasons why he came east was to get an Insurance policy of $50,000 on each of the gladiators. He expects to hear from the Lloyds of London today or tomorrow In regard to the deal. He said there would be no preliminaries to the big fight and no other side attractions. Berger came east principally to gather in a few more human punching bags for-the use of Jeffries. He has already engaged "Farmer" Burns, Frank Gotch, Roger Cornell, Bob Armstrong and

' James J. Corbett.

"Corbett and Gotch will simply be at the camp in an advisory capacity," said Berger, 'but the rest will have to work. There is bare possibility that Sam

Langford may be added to the camp, but that hadn't been decided when I left the coast." That Berger expects Jeffries to get

achievements.

Near riots preclpitated by peevish Cubs added to the color scheme which had for its background the colossal slag pile where Frank Smith of the

Sox established his world's record for long distance home running a few seasons since. About 2,000 fans, thinking the regulars would perform, ambled out to West End park, all being with the strong-arm, near-sigted arbiter. But for the fact that a kind-hearted Justice here makes a practice of lmposinf fines of 50 bucks per capita, chances are the enranged Cublets might have started a bit of battle royal stuff.

Peary's Own Story Thrilling Adventures in Arctic Hunting: Preparations for the Long Night Here in quick, terse language as vivid and dynamic as lightning, Commander Peary describes the great hunting; the stocking up of game food, deer, musk oxen, and polar bear; the laying-to of the Roosevelt for the long winter night amid the ice, awaiting the Spring and the sunlight for the final dash. No narrative since Caesar's own book xn the Gallic Wars has contained such graphic detail handled in so simple and self-revelatory a style. De Bello Gallico is a Latin Classic; ' Peary's Discovery of the North Pole as instalment after instalment appears, is slowly forming the conviction in men's minds that lere is an Anglo-Saxon Classic.

The Great Millionaire Mill The Story of the Southern Pacific Railroad System and the Great Fortunes Created by It By Charles Edward Russell For the first time the true record of this powerful organization is recounted, giving information from private letters, court records, etc. Mr. Russell's minute analysis of the careers of Collis P. Huntington, Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker and Mark Hopkins throws a strong searchlight upon American railroad methods; shows how the whole state of California was throttled; how the "ultimate consumer" has had a staggering burden of debt put upon his shoulders to increase his cost of living.
