William E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson.

"Pussyfoot" Johnson, who will speak at the Richmond Chautauqua Sunday afternoon, has had a spectacular career. He appeared In England some time ago as America's advance agent in the war against strong drink. He became a storm center at once and there was instant resentment at what was regarded as the attempt of an outsider to come between the Englishman and his beer. To emphasize their disapproval of him and Us cause, a crowd of English students dragged "Pussyfoot" through the streets of London and as a result of a missile thrown during this manhandling, he lost an eye. "Pussyfoot" did not dt.mand damages, nor rail at the Inefficiency of the police, nor call for revenge on the mob. Costly as it had been to him, "Pussyfoot" accepted the hazing good naturedly, excused it as playfulness of mere .boys, and announced that he rejoiced to have one good eye left to carry on the fight. From an unwel government, having heard nothing from the Polish peace delegation at Minsk, has requested the Russian Soviet government to shift tTie peace negotiations to a more convenient place, Warsaw for instance. The Soviet government has not yet replied, according to the correspondent.

The anti-suffrage forces are also challenging the legality of ratification in Missouri, West Virginia and Ohio. Goodwin is Fined For Fight With Watchman Joe Goodwin, a truck driver, was fined $1 and costs in city court Thursday on a charge of assault and battery on Sam Eversman, watchman at the North Twelfth street crossing of the Pennsylvania lines. The trouble occurred last Saturday during a heavy rainstorm. Goodwin, not being able to see well because of the rain on his windshield, almost ran Into a freight train. Eversman made some remarks to him and Goodwin said that if Eversman had been present he could have warned him about the train. This remark led to hot words. Goodwin alighted from his truck to give battle and received a blow over the head from Eversman's lantern. The r.

England Dry come interloper he was immediately transformed into a "good sport" and a hero. i From that moment Mr. Johnson became a figure in international news. Wherever he went his reputation for true sportsmanship preceded him. He had won great admiration for himself and consideration for his cause that it otherwise would not have received. Mr. Johnson is a very forcible speaker and has been an earnest advocate of prohibition for many years. He received the sobriquet of "Pussyfoot" for the quiet, unobtrusive way in which he went about unearthing the illegal sales and manufacture of liquor while in the employ of the government. Upon his return from England a few months ago he was immediately engaged by one of the largest Chautauqua bureaus in the country for a series of lectures, but so great was the demand for his time that the bureau was forced to limit his engagements to the larger assemblies. men then engaged in a rough and tumble fight.

Wm. Boyce Thompson

Though the public at large Is hardlj . aware of the fact. William Boycc Thompson of New York is now and throughout the campaign will continue to be one of the really important personagesin the councils of the national Republi can party. It will be recalled that he was one of the four delegates at large from New York state to the Republican national convention in Chicago last June. Mr. Thompson was born in 1869 in Virginia City. Mont. He was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy and at Columbia University schbol of mines. Since its organization he has been a director of the federal reserve bank of New York and he Is a director also of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. In 1912 Mr. Thompson was a Republican presidential elector and he was a delegate to the national convention of his party in 1916. He spent four months in Russia In 1917 as the head of the American Red Cross mission to that country. He is a member of the Republican and Union League clubs and also of the Rocky Mountain club, in which he is one of the most active figures. He is president of the Roosevelt Memorial association. In 1918 supporters of Colonel Thompson urged him to enter the Republican primaries against Governor Whitman, who was seeking renominatlon. He had been one of the heavy contributors to the Whitman campaign in 1916, but had been dissatisfied, according o a report in political circles, with the governor's administration.
