ger attempts to run amuck. Jean
netle Dorr, the girl with which John
Bon has been implicated, It has been
discovered has boen kept a prisoner
nt the home of Jack Curley. The
j Mayor has found that Johnson has
j been violating the early closing or
j dlnance by keeping his cafe open
after closing hours. The Alder
men are probing the cafe menacc
(through which young girls are lur
ed *o their ruin. The Dorr girl
Is kept by the authorities under con
finement. Johnson has offered U»
put up twenyt-flve thousand cash
bond for the girl's release, but he
was refuted. Cablegrams from
Australia state that the sportsi of
