TEENIK JOHNSON, MOTHER
OF JACK JOHNSON DEAD
CHICAGO: Tennle Johnson, moth
er of Jack Johnson, former champion
pugilist, died last night. For a brief
time in the heyday of the career of
her BQn she knew a prosperity and
notoriety such as seldom comes to a
colored 'mammy.'.'
When Jack became champion and
money rolled in upon him he bought
.the Wabash avenue home and pre
sented It to his mother. He bought
her gowns and jewels and an automo
mobile and employed a chauffeur to
drive It.
Then came the champion’s convic
tion of. violating the Mann act. his
flight and the forfeiture of the heavy
bonds under which he was at liberty.
The automobile went, the house was
mortgaged and then came the last re
sort of humbled womankind, "board
ers wanted."
Johnson is said to be in Barcelona,
Spain, where he has, according to
friends, become a bullfighter. Owing
to* his conviction he dare not return
to the United States. Mrs. Johnson
was 74 years of age.
CITY KIKCTIOX TOMORROW
The voters of the city will hold an
