Charles F. Clyne, United States dis
trict attorney in Chicago. It said
Johnson would go to New York by
the way of Havana, arranging
through rtie American embassy hert
for federal agents to meet him in
New York. Johnson requested Mr.
Clyne to give him 36 hours of lee
way after he arrived in Chicago so
that he might secure bondsmen and
make other legal preparations.
Johnson asserted yesterday ihzt
he weighed 213 pounds, but would
go into training immediately after
reaching the United States and
would-be able to easily make his
old fighting weight.
- Convicted in 1913. "
Johnson was tried in Chicago
early in 1913 on charges of having
violated the Mann "white slave"
law, and, being convicted, was sen
tenced to a year's imprisonment in
the federal penitentiary at Leaven
worth.'Kan. Johnson appealed, but
befpre the case was argued before
the higher court he forfeited his
bail bond of $15,000 by fleeing from
his -home , near Chicago to Mon

Late in Jne, 913, he sailed for
Europe and has not'been on Ameri
can soil since that time.

Chicago) Janv 29. Charles F.
Clyne, federal district attorney, who
prosecuted Jack f. Johnson, - then

cago. Mr. Clyh would not com
ment upon the protfable reception
of-Johnson should he follow out his
announced intention to return to
Chicago and face the charges against
him.
Johnson's indictment grew out of
allegations that he paid the railroad
fare of a woman from Pittsbufjf to
Chicago. .

- Do Not Oppose It.
-Lester P. Barlow of Minneapolis,
slate organizing manager of the
northwest division of the World
War Veterans, addressed a meeting
of ex-service men in Labor tem
ple last night. '
'.'We have heard much about
Atnericanisilt patriotism and democ
racy, which expressions have been
used by scoundrels and profiteers,
so we have adopted a better slogan,
which is, 'The enforcement of the
constitution of the United talcs
as it is written,'" the speaker said.
I He referred to the ..American
Legion as "tailor-made," adding that
.the World War Veterans, are . not
opposing the legion, and he refuted
an assertion ascribed to him that
his organization v?ould be -merged
with the legion. ' -
"America is sound and equal to
any crisis," Mr. Barlow added, lie
denounced Governor Bumquist of
Minnesota and stated that the World
War Veterans as an organization
are strong, enough to "take on any
one." '
Mr. Barl6v plans to establish Ne
braska headquarters of his organiza
tion in Omaha and. to organize posts
here and in other Nebraska towns.
He was introduced by E. C. Peck;
who was elected temporary chair
man at a . meeting held last week.x
