Bryan Refuses To Grant Him His
Passports—Is Wanted for White
Slavery In United States.
HAVANA, Cuba, April 10.—Under
instructions from W. J. Bryan, head
of the American State Department,
the consular agents here of the Unit
ed States have refused to give Jack
Johnson, the defeated heavyweight
champion, passports stating that he is
an American citizen. Without the
passports Johnson cannot travel on
the continent nor in any territory of
the belligerents of the present war
in Europe and he will be forced to
■remain in Cuba.
It is known that special agents of
the Department of Justice are here
watching Johnson in the expectation
that he may try to leave on a boat
touching in the United States, in
which event they would cause his ar
rest on the white slavery charge up
on which he was convicted but fled
to France to avoid serving his term
in jail.
Just what course Johnson will take
is not known, but his attorneys hope
to secure the passports.

Months—Department To Be
Enlarged.
WASHINGTON, April 10.—The gov
ernment employment agency succeed
ed In securing jobs for 1,200 men dur
ing the months of February and

men congregate and make conditions
worse for themselves and those who
have positions by cheapening labor.
