Pointing out that violations of the "white slave" act are not extraditable, Solicitor General Bullitt filed a brief today de claring no reason exists why Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, confined In Jail in Chicago, should be admit ted to ball by the United States Su preme court. ' ; The solicitor-general said a guilty offender might be quite willing to jump a small amount of bail and es cape to a foreign country. "Administration of the criminal law," said Mr, Bullitt's brief, "would be brought into disrepute If one com mitting such an Infamous crime as that for which Johnson Is Indicted, could by forfeiting even a considera ble sum of money, escape to a place where he would bo free from further prosecution." " Referring to the possibility of John- soon leaving the county the solici tor-general's brief adds: Thirty thousand dollars, while a large sum, is not excessive because it is obviously not prohibitory. The very fact that Johnson is willing to deposit cosh to that amount is conclusive that the amount fixed Is not excessive." Attempt to Uelea.se Johnson Falls. Chicago, Nov. 13.
