JACK MAY NOT BE ALLOWED ON STAGE (National News Association) LONDON, Aug. 20. There is a possibility that Jack Johnson, the American negro pugilist, will not be allowed to appear on the stage in this city. The announcement that he would do a turn next week at one of the smaller west end music halls, brought a number of remonstrances to the management to the effect that the London public, after the revelations of Johnson's violations of the white slave laws of the United States, would not stand for the negro pugilist as an entertainer. The manager replied that he did not think that should enter into the consideration. The Federation of Variety Artists will discuss the subject at a meeting in this city on Thursday.

The Russian police system is extremely complicated, for it practically gives Russia an assistant policeman in every house in St. Petersburg. The landlord has a private porter or acta as porter himself. A porter has authority to make an arrest, and he is obliged to rush from the house to the street at the sound of a police whistle. As there is a policeman stationed at every block, which is the limit of his beat, and as every policeman within a certain radius may respond with the porters to the signal, it takes but a few seconds to get a platoon of uniformed men, with almost a regiment of porter policemen together. Russia has also a most elaborate system of training its policemen, and some time ago there was opened at St. Petersburg a fully equipped policeman's college, designed to train men in all the various duties of an officer of the law. At this college policemen are made familiar with the tools used by criminals, their teachers holding that they cannot become proficient policemen in any other way. The Russian policeman attends lectures at which burglars' methods and Instruments are explained, so that he can checkmate them, while he has the advantage of the criminal museum, which is attached to the college. There every appurtenance known to the breaker of the law must be experimented with until its every use Is thoroughly understood. London Tit-Bits. In parts of Europe the roads are successfully cleaned by means of a vacuum machine. It consists of a suction mechanism containing a stiff brush which revolves at a great speed close to th ground.

WHITE SLAVE CASE GIVEN TOJHE JURY Diggs Makes Poor Witness Places All Blame on the Girl.

(National News Association) SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20 The case of Maury I. Diggs, charged with violation of the Mann White slave act in transporting Marsha Warrington a 19-year-old Sacramento girl from one state to another for immoral purposes, will be in the hands of the jury by nightfall. Arguments which were begun yesterday afternoon will be completed by 4 o'clock this afternoon. Judge Van Fleet will deliver his charge to the jury and the twelve men will retire to deliberate. Diggs a Poor Witness. It is the belief of many who have j followed closely the progress of the j trial that Diggs, as a witness in his own behalf, made a bad impression on the jury. His efforts to place entire responsibility for flight to Reno at the door of the Warrington girl, his statements that he was half crazed with fear on account of the reported anger of his wealthy father because of his numerous escapades, and the action of the attorneys for the defense in preventing Diggs testifying with reference to the movements of the elopers after they left Sacramento, appeared to impress the jurors unfavorably. Afraid of Father. Speaking of the wrath of his father, Diggs said he was afraid of what his father would do to him. He said he was so frightened that he was half crazy and did not know what he was doing. He told how he hid from his father in the Columbia hotel; how he spent a day on the outskirts of the city to keep away from Diggs, Sr. Took Girl to Room. Diggs admitted that after he had own apartment when hia wife was away he arranged a dinner party to which he brought the girl to sit at his table with Mrs. Diggs. He admitted that he feared thhe juvenile court officers, though he denied a charge that this fear was due to reltions with young girls of 15 and 17. When court convened today Attorney Roach resumed his opening argument for the prosecution. He was followed by Attorneys Coghlan and Devlin for the defense. Special Prosecutor Matt I. Sullivan will make the closing argument for the government this afternoon. CREDIT ASSOCIATION By Frank Parker Stockbrldge. This is the age of credit.

Manuel Perez Romero, who is also accused of lobbying for the constitutionalist party of Mex.co. is called the confidential agent- of that party and is the unaccredited diplomatic representative of it at Washington. in manufacturing and in the wholesale trade. And as credit increases the need of agencies for the protection of those who give credit increases. It is probably true, as a famous merchant said recently, that 90 per cent of the American people are honest and will always pay their honest debts. There is, however, the other 10 per cent that is not honest and among the 90 per cent there are plenty of honest ones who, while perfectly good pay eventually, are far from being the prompt and desirable customers the successful merchant must have. One of the most important functions, therefore, of a commercial association, in most communities. Is the collection and distribution among the business men of the town of that very sharply-defined and important class of

news which is railed credit InfornuH tion. Probably no other one co-operative activity is carried on by so? many different organisations as this one. Ia some communities the Mer chants' Association. Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade, Itself, acts as a credit information bureau. Ia others a subsidiary credit association or committee performs this service. A properly equipped and properly managed credit bureau of this sort not only saves to its members thousands of dollars every jear. by giving them warning of those ho do not pay their bills promptly, but performs a real service for every honest persoa in the town, by the simple process of informing the merchants that thos honest folk do pay their bills. Some credit bureaus deal only ia negative Information. Other not only list the "slow pay" and "blH pay" citizens, but also the "prompt pay ones. Many supply further informaton concerning the general financial standing of individuals, their manner of fettling accounts, their general reputation and supplement this with transcripts of court records, of chattel mortgages and transfers of property. On association in a small town publishes once in two years a book containing Information gathered for its credit record, copies of which are sold only to members. Most such credit bureaus furnish Information to members on request and many other variations of well-established methods of credit rating are practiced by others. If the. retail business of this town is to be established upon a firm and unshakable foundation, not only

the retail merchants of the town but every one who Is interested In the (stability and progress of the commujnity ought to encourage every effort , to put the town and Its people upon a credit basis. This is one of the community services in which the co-operation of every one having the community spirit is important.
