ABOUT TO BEGIN
New Federal Government
Starts Campaign to Compel
Recognition of Huerta
Regime.
El Paso, Tex., July 30. Mexican
federal forces numbering several
thousand men are being mobilized
' and moved against Lower California
to put down the rebellion against
., federal authority of Governor Este
ban Cantu, it was announced today
by General P. Elias Calles, Mexican
minister of war and marine, who is
here en route to.Torreon, Durango,
to confer with Francisco Villa, the
bandit, concerning the latter's sur
render. "Cantu never lias accepted ' tlr:
. authority of . the Mexican central
government neither now nor under
the late President Carranza," Gen
eral Calles said. He attempted to
.run the state as separate from the
balance of Mexico and for his per
sonal ends," the" war secretary
added.
Refuses To Close Gambling.
"Cantu was ordered to close gam
bling and vice of the worst kind,
which has operated under his pro
tection," said General Calles. "He
refused to do so. continuing to
flaunt to the world , a disgraceful
condition that works against Mex
ico as-a whole. The, federal govern
ment is determined to end vice as
ciufckly as can be in every possible
place. Baja California is a terri-
, tory not a state of Mexico, . and the
governor must be subservient to the
wishes of the national government.
"There has been much agitation
in California against the vice in the
neighboring state of Mexico and we
know the women of California will
praise us for attempting to clean up
these pest holes. Highways in the
United States leading to Mexico
cities, in Lower California have
signs-reading, "This road Jo hell."
. These signs tell the truth."
The federal government of
Mexico has funds arranged to
carry out several big irrigation pro
jects in Chihuahuf. and Sonora, ac
cording to General Calles.

Jack Johnson's White Wife
Ready .to Quit Him, Believe
Many of Her Acquaintances
Wife Who Has Been Driven Out of Country After
Country, Always Remaining Loyal to Her Black
Husband, Now Feels Sting of Pride and Ostracism
May Abandon Him .Forever.
Chicago, July 30. "My God,, . I
might just as well be dead!"
That is the despairing moan of
the woman who is the white wife of
Jack Johnson, the negro outcast.
It is the wail of a woman in a
surge of desolation, and Tia Juana
today lays ominous speculation and
recalls the , tragic end of the big
black man's first white wife in Chi
cago nearly a decade ago. She died
by her own remorse-stricken hand.
Reports of a rift in the domestic
mesalliance of Johnson, the modern
"man without a country," are on
every tongue.
Woman Is Ostracized.
Mrs. Johnson, whose life psychol
ogists say must be in fact what "Les
Miserables" was in fiction, gave
voice to the expression, "I might
just as well be dead," while dis
cussing her situation and position of
ostracism. ,
Sensational stories are being told
here today, most of them based on
evidence in the. hands of the white
wife's former 'maid. A '.'reliable
white woman in whom Mrs. John
son confided, however, has also
talked.
One of these stories is that with
Johnson nearing the end of his trail,
Mrs. Johnson is secretly, glad at
heart, feeling that thus her unenvi
able situation will be over.
May Divorce Him.
She accepts his surrender with re
lief, seeing in it the safest way for
her to bring about a parting of their
ways.
Ask her direct, however, and she
will tell you it is not so. But in the
same breath she will imply that she
wants to "get away;" that she wants
to go some olace' where she isn t
known."
Around Jack she acted contented,
and when' questioned concerning her
marriage to him and his position
just now, she invariably says: -
"I would not trade Jack for any
man right now. I include white men
in that statement, too. .j, ,
Will Take Rest
"What will I do? Oh, I can hardly
say now. I'll go some place where
I am not known and rest." ,
She looks as if she needed it in
the worst way. She looks weary
weary of being a wanderer with her
"black man" on the face of a scorn
ful earth. . ' (
If she ever possessed any beauty
or charm she has lost it now. She
is of the blonde type and they break
fast, scientists say. She has paid
toll to the deadly ostracism anl the
weary shadow under which she has
lived since her marriage to Jack
Johnson in Chicago eight years ago.
She is a small- woman, thin and
pale-r-"washed out."
Eyes Are Faultless.
She is in her middle thirties. I
should say. And though compara
tively young ve't, something deep,
something stifling, has ' smothered
out the soul in her eves. They are
empty, almost dead. They strike you
at once as an index to . every re
morse she must have known.
Her intimates sav she holds Up
remarkably well. They find she has
schooled herself to try to accept un
flinchingly her status in life, to try
to make the best of it. feigning con
tentment. But on occasions her pose
breaks, as for example, when she
was quoted thus:
"Of course, I am not contented
here. How on earth could I be? It
is sordid and horrible. It is not like
Paris,, it is not like Vienna, Lon
don or Madrid. I have been nearly
everywhere. Even Havana and
Mexico City vere 1,000 times bet
ter than this."
No One Talks to Her.
But Johnson was driven out of
these great capitals, , and she with
him, always running before public

$corn,The records show that, and
it is not hard to know how she was
treated wherever she went with her
black master, when it is so 'plainly
seen how she is treated here.
"Nobody associates with her," a
gambler in Tia Juana stated, and a
bartender and a business managir
confirmed his words. "She some
times had to sit 3t the cash regis
ter in the negro cabaret in order
to get to talk to anyone at all."
She won't talk about herself to
strangers, but she is said to be
quick to confide in women who will
associate with her at all, and it is
from such sources that her story
has been revealed. . '
"I don'4 let myself think about a
lot of ' things," she told a certain
American woman who sat with her
in the cafe one afternoon in San
Diego. "What's the use they're
done. "And, anyway, it is not good
to brood. But the other day when
I was nursinj; Jack's nephew in San
Diego when the doctors thought he
might die had almost given him
up, in fact I couldn't help an awful
depression. I just thought to my
self: "My God, I might just as well
be dead.'
Jack Good to Her. ( .
"That may sound awful; but isn't
it the truth? Some people weren't
intended to live life right, anywav,
and those people oughtn't to be
scared of death.
"But Jack was scared of it for
his nephew, I thought he would
nearly go crazy then, when Gus was
so low. He was nearly wild. All
he'd do would be to walk around and

pull his hands and moan, 'My God,
am I going to kill my own nephew
like this?"
"Under different circumstances,
though, Jack is always good to me.
That is, he is considerate and kind
when I'm around. You know. But
that can't make up for everything.
And yet I wouldn t trade Jack for
any white man I've ever seen not
now."
She tells that last story to every
one. She is said to dike to tell it
in the presence of Jack, who beams.
Yet it is said of her that she spent
as little of her time as possible on
the Mexican side of the line. She
went to San Diego where her hus
band could not go without being
seized as a criminal for days at a
time, always driven in by Johnson's
white "man Friday,'.' young
"Brownie" Brown, the boy who says
he was once in the glorious Argonne
but who is now valet and chauffeur
to the black man and his white wife.

Pretty Woman James Maloney
Loved and Married Is
Remembered in His
f Will.
Chicago, July 30. Love and riches,
two wealthy men and a fascinating
woman, are all mixed in a romantic
story brought to light today when
the will Jif James Maloney, former
president of the Maloney Belting
company, was filed for probate. He
left an estate of $600,000. -
The woman . is now known as
Helen H. Shelton and lives with her
sister, Mrs. Madeline E. Barker,' at
the Plaza hotel' in New York. She
married Maloney after meeting him
on a voyage to Europe. Later they
were divorced. At that time he only
had $50,000. She thought he had
more.
Then she married William , J
White, chewing . gum millionaire,
former mayor of Cleveland and con
gressman. This marriage also proved
unhappy. She ijnas been getting
$30,000 a year alimony from White.
Maldney's will leaves $10,000 a
year to Mrs. Barker for the support
of herself and her sister.. This is
said to be Maloney's way of leaving
the money to his former wife.
He also left $5,000 to Mrs. Theo
dore A. Backe "in consideration of
her kindness and care ! of the sick
and suffering.",
Mrs. Backe and his former wife
and her sister are friends. Maloney
has been a student of spiritualism.
Mrs. Backe is said to have been the
medium who usually told him what
to do during his attempts to con
verse with the departed. '
Mrs. Maloney-White came into the
limelight in 1913 when Gail Borden,

Fire Stops Traffic
On Williamsburgh
! Bridge In New York
, - .
New York, July 30. Traffic
across the Williamsburgh bridge,
spanning the East river, was
stopped late last night by a spectac
ular fire of undetermined origin
which destroyed large portions of
woodwork under the railroad tracks.
Firemen from Manhattan and
Brooklyn fought the blaze for an
hour before they could control it.
Great difficulty, was exoenenced
iii getting streams of water on the
flames, which were almost .'in the
center of the bridge. Lines of hose
first had to be hoisted to the struc
ture from the Brooklyn side, then
run 'along the bridge for several
hundred feet. The intense heat, bent
the rails on the elevated railroad
tracks and twisted parts of the iron
vork on the bridge. The damage'
has not been estimated.
A theory of the fire's origin was
that sparks from passing river craft
may - have ignited the oily wood.
Thousands of persons gathered on
the Manhattan and Brooklyn water
fronts to watch the fire.
