King, for over a quarter of a century editor of the Dallas Express a week ly newspaper was shot and almost instantly killed at his home, 2811 Flora street, Wednesday afternoon, August 29, by Miss Battie C. Burleson, his former private secretary who surrendered to Justice of the Peace Samuel J. Bennett (white) shortly after committing the crime. Editor King was shot through the chest near the heart. He died en route to the Emergency Hospital. Miss Burleson is being held in jail on a charge of murder. JEALOUSY THE MOTIVE "I killed him because I was jealous of him," is the motive given by Miss Burleson for the crime. She told her story to Assistant District Attorney P. P. Ballowe. An affidavit charging her with murder was signed by Deputy Constable W. G. Kennedy before Mr. Ballowe and filed in Justice Barnett's court. "He had jilted me long enough and I just got tired of his fooling me," she declared. Miss Burle son said Editor King did not reciprocate her affectionate regards as she wanted him to and as she wanted other women and the public at large to understand. WOMAN PLANS CRIME The woman said on the morning of August, 20 she wept for hours he fore making her final decision. This decision was to slay Editor King and then turn the revolver on himself. After firing the first, he met at the editor and seeing his body drop to the floor her nerves became shattered and she rushed from the promises with the smoking revolver in her hands. She ran a short distance from the house and summoned an automobile and ordered the chauffeur to drive her to the office of Justice Barnett where she surrendered. She exhained upon entering the office: "Is this the sheriff's office? Well, I have just killed a man. He is W. E. King and you'll find his body in the house where he rooms, 211 Flora street. Here is my pistol." Two chambers of the revolver were empty. "What do you shoot him for?" he enquired Justice Barnett. "I loved him and he promised to marry me, but every time I asked him when he in tended to do so he would put me off." KING REPULSES WOMAN Miss Burleson carefully planned her crise, it is said. She appeared at the home of Editor King at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the day of the tragedy. She says that Mr. King be came angry because she told him of her mission and ordered her from his room. Thinking of her past association with him and deeming his scolding improper as an answer to her question Miss Burleson says she became furious and elected to settle the whole affair by the use of her revolver. Mr. King encountered to escape when she made for her weapon but the position in which she was sitting would necessitate his passing her to leave the room. She remembers uttering an oath as the editor endeavored to gain possession of the revolver and it was at this time that she fired. Power burns, indicating fire at close range were found on Mr. King's clothing. "I will tell the whole story when I am brought to trial. I want the pub lie to know what relationship existed between Mr. King and myself. I plead ed with him but he wouldn't listen," she said. MEN FIGHT OVER BODY When Mr. King's body was carried to the hospital two men prominent in fraternal affairs appeared and sought to arrange for the funeral. They be came involved in a heated controver sy as to what lodge should superintend the funeral. The men came to blows and were placed under arrest by Ambulance Driver W. Houston (white). Mr. King had been prominent in public and political life for a period covering thirty years. During this time he had also served as editor of the Dallas Express one of the largest enterprises in Texas. He was well known in fraternal circles. BORN IN MISSISSIPPI Mr. King was the son of Richard and Marguerite King. He was born in Macon, Miss., in 1866. He was educated in the schools of Macon. After completing his high school education he taught school for a number of years in the public schools of Landerale and Jasper counties where he enjoyed the distinction of standing the best examination of any teachers in these counties, white or black. Seeing the need of a newspaper to defend the rights of his downrodden Race he he gan the publication of a paper known as "Fair Play" about. 1885 which had a wide circulation and was suecistically managed until forced to close his shop and leave the state on account of the position his paper took in defense of his race. He came to Dallas in 1891 and seured a position as maging editor of the Western Star, published by Key, E. W. D. Isaacs. In 1892 he began the publication of the Dallas Bee; later the name was changed to the Dallas Express. He was editor-in-chief at the time of his death and by his uncompromising stand for justice and right the paper is considered one of the strongest publications in the Southwest. The deceased is survived by a brother, John King, of Greenville, Miss., who will come for the retains and to make funeral ar rangements. A NEW COURT AT GRETNA. Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., G. W.

JONES, Pres. DR. C. P. MADISON Sec'y. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1919. When the Court Convenes Hear a Trial GUILTY! MEMORIAMS OF THE CASE CHARGES SEARCHING SEARCHING SEARCHING THE ACCUSER GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF KNOXVILLE RIOTS (By W. L. Porter.) KNOXVILLE, TENN., September 3. (Special wire to Planet)—Conditions are back to normal about the city, following more than twenty-four hours of rioting. Excitement ran high following the killing of Mrs. Bertie Lindsey, white, at her home on Eighth Avenue, early Saturday morning. Miss Ora White, the only other person in the home with Mrs. Lindsey at the time of the killing, furnished the police officers a description of a colored man, as the one having committed the murder. Maurice Mayes, a well known character about town was arrested on the clue furnished Sheriff W. T. Cate. Fearing mob violence the Sheriff rushed Mayes to Chattanooga, Tenn., for safekeeping. As the news of the murder spread, excitement ran high and a mob of white men began forming early Saturday afternoon. Late $I_0$ the night the county jail was stormed and although the mob was thoroughly convinced that the prisoner accused of having committed the crime was not there, the front of the large brick structure was almost completely demolished. Members of the mob pushed in over the jailer and guards stationed there, who were powerless to do anything, and confiscated thirty or more gallons of whiskey. This whiskey was stored in the jail after having been captured in different raids. After seizing the whiskey the mob went to the first and second floors of the jail where many white prisoners were confined, and battered down the large iron doors, giving the prisoners their freedom. The third floor, occupied by colored prisoners was passed by unnoticed by the mob and no injury was accorded any colored prisoner. The looting of every hardware store, pawn shop and second hand store by the mob, followed the jail delivery. Firearms, watches and other valuables were stolen. The State Militia stationed at Camp Sevier and composed of inexperienced and prejudiced youths were ordered out by unknown parties and patrolled the city during Sunday. The only clash between the races was that between the soldiers and a small group of Negroes at the corner of Vine and Central, a point leading into the colored section. One of the officers commanding the soldiers was killed by Joseph Etter, a colored second hand store proprietor and Etter in turn was killed by the soldiers. Carl Chambers and Carter Warking were wounded by soldiers as the two young colored men stepped from a train on which they had been serving as dining car waiters. During Sunday the order issued to the soldier by unknown parties to search all colored persons was carried out and many of the leading members of the race, including men and women were greatly humiliated by the tactics employed by the prejudiced goldiers, who were strangers to this section. Mayor John E. McMillan came to the relief of the colored citizens by getting in touch with Governor Roberts and demanding that the soldiers be withdrawn. Frank Pate, colored deaf and dumb Above me is a beckoning gleam The golden glory of my Dream; The height of hope whereon I see The best of all I mean to be. Between that future and today The price is hard that I must pay. But all the sacrifice of earth Is less than one lone soul is worth. Love whispers from the lowly sod That serving Man is serving God. The sum of Heaven's charge to me Is what I am and will to be. I will—and grow the strength to climb Up from the base to life's sublime. University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill. man and with only one hand was ordered to halt by a bunch of soldiers and not obeying the command promptly was shot and seriously wounded. No fighting between the races has been experienced during the entire affair. No colored men have been lynched and the report of race voting having been engaged in utterly groundless. The object of the mob seemed to have been to release sixteen not serious criminals and to engage in a wholesale robbery rather than to avenge the death of the woman. Maurice Mayes, the young colored man charged with the killing, is a notorious character and while his guilt has not been established the colored people are not in sympathy with him because of his bad record. The fair-minded white citizens are determined to see that he gets a fair trial and had ordered a special meeting of the grand jury to investigate the charge against him. Knoxville has always been noted for the friendly relationship existing between the races and aside from the conduct of the soldiers who were placed on guard, that caused protests to go up from the colored citizens nothing has been done that would interrupt the pleasant feeling between the races. A. Card of Thanks. Mrs. Mary E. Hopson and family of 711 St. James street wish to take this means of expressing their appreciation of the sympathy and kindness shown them in their bereavement caused by the sudden death of her son Robert L. Hopson and also to thank those who sent so many beautiful flowers. The Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention is doing a great work on the foreign fields and the demands for more aggressive work is more emphatic than ever. All the other bodies have realized this new demand and are making strentuous efforts to realize the necessary funds wherewith to answer this new call. 'For Example' The white Baptist of the South has launched a campaign for seventy five million dollars to be subscribed or plodged by the 31st of December next and while our body cannot attempt anything so colossus it can certainly make an effort to do much more than heretofore, and for this let us all hope and pray. ST. LUKES HOLD GREAT SESSION IN WEST POINT VA. Th. Supreme Grand Council, L. O. St. Luke convened at West Point, Va. August 25, 26, 27. The session was full of business which was transacted with dispatch. It marked one of the greatest in the history of the Order. The official report showed a great increase both numerically and financially. The Old Mother Ship is still aloft and is heading over the top. Her slogan is, "Let's Go." Entered Into Rest. James Webly formerly of Richmond died August 17th 1919 at 237 Mulberry street Newark New Jersey. He leaves two sisters, Maggie Webly and Mrs. Elizabeth Vaughan; one brother Samuel Webly and a host of friends and relatives to mourn their loss. CLOSING OF A GREAT REVIVAL. Evangelist Skipwith's Great Success. Petersburg, Va., Metropolitan Baptist church, Rev. Eli Tartte D. D. Pastor. The great mid summer revival that has been going on at our church for four weeks came to a successful ending last Sunday night, with four hundred conversions, one hundred ad eighty for baptism and over one thousand dollars ($1,000) raised for the Church. The Rev. W H. Skipwith, B. D., our great international preacher, singer and evangelist through God stirred our city as never before. For four weeks and five Sundays this great man of God preached and sang so powerfully until men, women and children came flecking to the mercy seat crying what shall I do to be saved. Dr. Tartte the pastor, in speaking to a reporter about his meetings said, that Dr. Skipwith has been serving him and his people about eight years with great results; but this is his first time to put on a cam paign in August, so you bribe them, with God and the right kind of a man you can put on a revival at any time. May God keep and ever bless our dear brother Skipwith. RIOTERS ARE ROUNDED UP BY KNOXVILLE'S SHERIFF. Ten Already Jailed and Many More Face Indictment by Special Grand Jury. CITY SPENDS QUIET HOLIDAY. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. L.-Although still under heavy patrol by national guarisones and special outfits following the race riots of Saturday day night and Sunday morning, in which two men were killed and six teenen sent to hospitals with wounds, Knoxville today passed a peaceful holiday. Two of those wounded in one main battle Saturday midnight are not expected to survive the night. Sheriff Cate tonight caused the arrest of ten white men on charges of assisting prisoners to escape when the jail was attacked Saturday night. Other arrests on this charge and that of rioting are promised. Those arrested tonight are Dave Fox, Arthur Clinton, Von Luttrell, John Couch; James Finney; Dewey Layman; Will Davis; Bruce Chaday, Jim Dalton and Jeff Claiborne. The situation has so far improved that Admiral General Sweeney to right serve none the Third Battalion of the Fourth Tennessee Infantry from the western counties of the State and expects to release all other outside companies Tuesday leaving here the machine gun company and one rifle company which have headquarters in Knoxville. Labor Day celebrations were held separately today by the whites and Negroes as originally planned, the only change being that a scheduled parade was abandoned. No disorder of any kind was reported today. Troops still are patrolling the business district and the Negro sections with machine guns in position, but search of citizens for weapons has been discontinued and the barred zones in the Negro districts have been abandoned. A special session of the grand jury has been called for Wednesday to in vestigate the riots and to consider the case of Maurice F. Mayes the Negro accused of murdering Mrs. Bertie Lindsey early Saturday morning which crime inspired the storming of the county jail Saturday night and the subsequent race riots. Mayes is in jail at Chattanooga where he was taken Saturday noon before the trouble started here. In addition to the casualty list the rioting caused a property loss of more than $50,000 in damage to the jail and store buildings and loot secured by the mob, according to careful estimates today.

FRANCE WILL WELCOME Delegate Trotter tells of New Opening For the Race Where it Will be Appreciated. Boston, Mass., Aug. 3.—Color segregation and economic competition are the causes of the bloody race riots in Chicago, according to Wm. Monroe Trotter, the Colored Peace Conference petitioner at Paris, and secretary of the National Equal Rights League, who had just returned from the League's Eastern headquarters at 2152 Fifth Avenue, New York City, which deliberated on the recent race riots. "If the United States does not ap preciate the Colored Laborer enough to let him work for his bread by the sweat of his brow unmolested, I know postively that the Republic of France, which knows no color line, will welcome the black American worker for the restoration of the de vastated regions especially unskilled labor," declared Wm. Monroe Trotter who says that France is the land of equality of rights. "NEGRESS" IS NAUSEATING. The following from the Chicago Tribune is a mainly protest against the use of a word which is particularly offensive to colored women. ORIECTS TO "NEGRESS." Chicago.—(Editor of the Tribune.) In two recent issues you published very fine and highly commendatory editorials on "Race Progress and Common Sense," yet not withstanding that yesterday you state in glaring headlines the "Death of Mme. Walker Wealthiest Negress." That word "Negress" is nauseating in the eyesight of all colored women and should be eliminated from the vocabulary in which it has no rightful place. Above all your paper should be the leader in this regard if you really have the welfare of the colored race at heart.— SAMUEL Z. C. WESTERFIELD The colored men who persist in using "negro" as a race designation are largely to blame for the common use of a word which should be avoided. The colored people of the United States are Americans—that's all. The use of "negro" and "niggers" is the cause of many discriminations against the colored people. The word "negress" is nauseating, and so is the word "negro" when used as a racial designation for the colored people of the United States. THE TEXAS ASSAULT ON JOHN R. SHILLADY. Board of Directors of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Takes Action. At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of the National Assoc- ation for the Advancement of Color ed People called to consider the attack made upon its Secretary, John R. Shillady, in Austin, Texas on August 22 the following action was taken: The following telegram was sent to Governor William P. Hobby of Texas: The Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People cannot believe that your telegram of August 23 was sent with knowledge of the facts It cannot believe that the Governor of Texas can approve and condone the brutal mobbing of a native of another state who was in your state on a lawful mission or that you will view without the strongest disapproval illegal assaults by court officials in the public streets of your capital. We therefore call upon you to begin immediate proceedings to remove County Judge David J. Pickle and any other officials who participate in this disgraceful action if it is within your power, or to take such action as may be necessary to bring about their removal by the proper authority. MARY WHITE OVINGTON, Chairman. The following resolutions were passed: 1.—That the whole Texas matter be put up to Congress and that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ask for a Congressional investigation in this specific attack on the ground that the Governor of Texas approves and condones a criminal assault made by public officials. 2.—That President Wilson be requested to appoint without delay a responsible committee to report on the outrageous attack on John R. Shillady, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Crowd Then Begins Attack On Negroes, Who Arm For Defense. Regular Army Officer Assigned to Tennessee National Guard Among Dead. Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 31.—After a night of rioting and fighting in the streets between Negroes, whites and soldiers of the Fourth Infantry Regiment of the Tennessee National Guard the militia succeeded in breaking up mobs of both races although as the day wore on incipient rioting continued in various sections of the city. The police and military authorities estimate that seven persons have been killed during the trouble, while the list of wounded is placed between twenty and thirty killing continued this afternoon in which one white man and two Negroes were wounded. The trouble followed an attack on the county jail last night by a mob of white men bent on obtaining Maurice Mayes, a Negro charged with murder of Mrs. Bertie Lindsay in her home early Saturday morning. During the day, however, the Negro had been taken to Chattanooga for safe keeping. But the mob declined to take the word of jail officials and shot out the windows and battered down the doors to obtain entrance, sixteen prisoners, some of them convicted murderers, escaping during the excitement. In its attack on the jail the mob came upon a large quanity of confiscated liquor and quickly emptied the casks and cases. DRINK LEADS TO RIOTING. A portion of the Fourth National Guard Regiment was encamped near Knoxville and the soldiers were sent into the city by Governor Roberts at the request of the municipal authorities. The mob was driven away from the vicinity of the jail and then. In flamed by the whiskey that had been seized the mob spread quickly to the outlying parts of the city. Rioting by the gan almost at once and increased in violence after midnight. Bands of armed Negroes appeared on the streets shooting at every white man and white woman they saw. The Negroes broke into hardware stores and pawn shops and obtained weapons and with in a few hours after the attack on the fall several battles had occurred and several persons had been killed and wounded. The first known victim was Jim Henson, a Negro who was shot when he tried to lead a gang of armed Negroes in an attack upon several white men. The soldiers tried to quell the dis turbance without using their riffes, but so many armed Nogroos appeared on the streets that the troops brought up machine guns. One gun was placed at the alley of the north side of Vine street near State street an another was placed in line across the street. Squads of troops were sent up the various streets and other detachments were placed in advantageous places. MILITIA OPENS FIRE. The machine guns were hardly in positions before a large gang of Negroes appeared in Central street all of them armed with rifles and revolvers. The blacks refused to halt and the troops opened up on them with rifles and machine guns. Several Negroes were killed by the fire and others wounded, were seen crawling in to alleys. During the fighting at this point Lieut. James W. Payne of the United States Army, an instructor assigned to the National Guard, and Private Henderson of the Fourth Regiment were killed. They were stationed across the street from one of the machine guns and are believed to have been killed by the first burst of fire before the gun had been accurately trained upon the advancing Negroes. This was the last fight of any considerable proportions, although the rioting continued throughout the night and several other Negroes and whites were killed. Several had been wounded in the fighting at the jail between the mob and deputy sheriffs but they were taken away by their friends before their identity could be learned. Many of the militiamen were caught by mobs of Negroes before they could use their rifles and were badly beaten. In many sections of the city windows were shot out and doors battered down by mobs of both blacks and whites hunting for each other. Mrs. Lindsey whose murder caused the trouble was killed as she was trying to leap from a window in her bedroom after a Negro had entered the house and tried to attack her. Mayes had been arrested several days previous for prowling about a house occupied by another white family in which she were several girl but was released. He was rearrested shortly after the murder was committed. He denied any knowledge of the murder of Mrs. Lindsey. ENTIRE SECTION PATROLLED For fear of further trouble the militia threw guard around the section of the city where most of the disorder occurred and patrolled the place all night and, throughout Sunday. Early Sunday morning a few Negroes stepped from their hiding places and found their way back to their homes. There is not a firearm of any description to be found in a store in Knoxville as a result of the raids made upon them during the rioting. Plate glass windows were crashed in locks forced, and in some cases doors knocked from their hinges in an effort to secure weapons of any kind with which the rioters could give battle. Damage done to the stores and stocks in the city is estimated to be about $10,000. Hardware stores and pawnbooks suffered the heaviest loss, but several furniture stores also were broke into and looted of their stocks of kitchen knives, cleavers, etc. State troops were standing guard tonight in front of each of the loot ed stores with fixed bayonets and under riders to keep the passing throngs from even stopping to poor in at the damaged stocks. EVEN THE JAIL IS LOOTED. The mob which broke its way into the jail and the residence of Sherif Cate adjoining was not satisfied with damaging property, but everything of value including money, guns, whiskey clothing and books was taken. Part of the jail records were destroyed. The mob first made its appearance in the afternoon, small groups of men grouping about the jail but not in sufficient number to be alarming. Shortly before midnight the numbers began increasing until the building was entirely surrounded by shouting men. Despite the reports of its committees the mob refused to be lieve that Mayes had been removed to Chatanoga. For a little while the mob contented itself with shouting and shooting into the air. Soon they began pounding on the heavy iron bars of one of the front windows and eventually it gave way. Men began swarming in to the jail the jailer and deputys were overpowered. Heavy timbers brought up through the mob, passed from hand to hand over the heads of the men. Using these as a battering ram, they attempted to force the doors to the white cells. Failing with the battering rams, guns were brought into play and in this way locks were broken. Even then the mob was forced to break through another door to get the prisons. But they turned their attention to this forced the door and re leased all white men confined on the upper floors.

LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER It sure is fun to see how nice some people can be when they don't want you to talk about things you know on them, but that won't always stop me. Course I'm just bound to tell some things, but I won't call any names this time, as to the gentleman seen with a very pretty girl and refused to give an introduction, then handed us the dope, it was his cousin from New York. Its better to put me wise cause I might ask the wife about that pretty cousin. So don't slip by on that cousin game with "Little Willie," just slip him an introduction and, it's all O. K. Let you off this time. We have said many times in our letter that, "Nobody loves a fat man" but we have been ordered by one, (a little sweet one) with authority, never to use that expression again, at least where she could hear it, because she knew it wasn't true. Now I'm not going to tell you of the facts she set forth to prove what she had said, but at any rate, I took her word for it and I'm not going to say that any more—not now at least. So that gets "poor little me out" and leaves Tiff just where he was. Now its hard to tell what he will have to say when he returns from Buckroe, that's where I heard those beautiful words, down by the sad sea last week and they sounded good to me and I know Tiff will hear something while there, so we will reserve our sympathy until he returns.

Claytor entertained Monday night, September 1, in honor of Roanoke's newlyweds, Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Dudley and Dr. and Mrs. E. C.

For Dr. and Mrs. Dudley and Dr. and Mrs. Downing, we wish them long and happy journey on the sea of life. "Four Leaf Clovers" is the title of a very pretty love song, but there is only one who really can put the little poem over, that one's Dr. J. Sterling, no one charges him with singing, but he can certainly talk it over for you, in that soft mellow voice, full of tenderness and pathos. He repeats the words in a way that would stir the soul of the dullest man. Now how can a girl keep from forgiving him? But sure enough, no playing, it's some pretty. I fell for it myself, you know it must be some verse. Ladies who don't know it, ask Dr. J. Sterling or "Little Willie." At any rate when you get it, try it out on me. I can stand it and won't shed a single cry, but I can't say that for my pal. But there is a reason, but I ain't gonna' tell dis time. Yours truly, LITTLE WILLIE.

Crowd Then Begins Attack On Negroes, Who Arm For Defense. Regular Army Officer Assigned to Tennessee National Guard Among Dead. Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 31.—After a night, of rioting and fighting in the streets between Negroes, whites and soldiers of the Fourth Infantry Regiment of the Tennessee National Guard the militia succeeded in breaking up mobs of both races although as the day wore on incipient rioting continued in various sections of the city. The police and military authorities estimate that seven persons have been killed during the trouble, while the list of wounded is placed between twenty and thirty Rioting continued this afternoon in which one white man and two Negroes were wounded. The trouble followed an attack on the county jail last night by a mob of white men bent on obtaining Mau rice Mayes, a Negro charged with murder of Mrs. Bertle Lindsay in her home early Saturday morning. During the day, however, the Negro had been taken to Chattanooga for safe keeping. But the mob declined to take the word of jail officials and shot out the windows and battered down the doors to obtain entrance, sixteen prisoners, some of them convicted murderers, escaping during the excitement. In its attack on the jail the mob came upon a large quantity of confiscated liquor and quickly emptied the casks and cases. DRINK LEADS TO RIOTING. A portion of the Fourth National Guard Regiment was encamped near Knoxville and the soldiers were sent into the city by Governor Roberts at the request of the municipal authorities. The mob was driven away from the vicinity of the jail and then, inflamed by the whiskey that had been seized the mob spread quickly to the outlying parts of the city. Rioting by gan almost at once and increased in violence after midnight. Bands of armed Negroes appeared on the streets shooting at every white man and white woman they saw. The Negroes broke into hardware stores and pawn shops and obtained weapons and with in a few hours after the attack on the jail several battles had occurred and several persons had been killed and wounded. The first known victim was Jim Henson, a Negro who was shot when he tried to lead a gang of armed Negroes in an attack upon several white men. The soldiers tried to quell the dis turbance without using their riffes, but so many armed Negroes appeared on the streets that the troops brought up machine guns. One gun was placed at the alloy of the north side of Vine street near State street an another was placed in line across the street. Squads of troops were sent up the various streets and other detachments were placed in advantageous places. MILITIA OPENS FIRE. The machine guns were hardly in positions before a large gang of Negroes appeared in Central street all of them armed with rifles and revolvers. The blacks refused to halt and the troops opened up on them with rifles and machine guns. Several Negroes were killed by the fire and others wounded, were seen crawling in to alleyes. During the fighting at this point Lieut. James W. Payne of the United States Army, an instructor assigned to the National Guard, and Private Henderson of the Fourth Regiment were killed. They were stationed across the street from one of the machine guns and are believed to have been killed by the first burst of fire before the gun had been accurately trained upon the advancing Negroes. This was the last fight of any considerable proportions, although the rioting continued throughout the night and several other Negroes and whites were killed. Several had been wounded in the fighting at the fall between the mob and deputy sheriffs but they were taken away by their friends before their identity could be learned. } Many of the militiamen were caught by mobs of Negroes before they could use their rifles and were badly beaten. In many sections of the city windows were shot out and doors battered down by mobs of both blacks and whites hunting for each other. Mrs. Lindsey whose murder caused the trouble was killed as she was trying to leap from a window in her bedroom after a Negro had entered the house and tried to attack her. Mayes had been arrested several days previous for prowling about a house occupied by another white family in which were several girl but was released. He was rearrested shortly after the murder was committed. He denied any knowledge of the murder of Mrs. Lindsey. ENTIRE SECTION PATROLLED For fear of further trouble the militia threw guard around the section of the city where most of the disorder occurred and patrolled the place all night and, throughout Sunday. Early Sunday morning a few Negroes stepped from their hiding places and found their way back to their houses. There is not a firearm of any description to be found in a store in Knoxville as a result of the raids made upon them during the rioting. Plate glass windows were crashed in locks forced, and in some cases doors knocked from their hinges in an effort to secure weapons of any kind with which the rioters could give battle. Damage done to the stores and stocks in the city is estimated to be about $10,000. Hardware stores and pawnbooks suffered the heaviest losses, but several furniture stores also were broke into and looted of their stocks of kitchen knives, cleavers, etc. State troops were standing guard tonight in front of each of the loot ed stores with fixed bayonets and under riders to keep the passing throngs from even stopping to poor in at the damaged stocks. EVEN THE JAIL IS LOOTED. The mob which broke its way into the jail and the residence of Sheriff Cate adjoining was not satisfied with damaging property, but everything of value including money, guns, whiskey clothing, and bobs was taken. Part of the jail records were destroyed. The mob first made its appearance in the afternoon, small groups of men grouping about the jail but not in sufficient number to be alarming. Shortly before midnight the numbers began increasing until the building was entirely surrounded by shouting men. Despite the reports of its committees the mob refused to be lieve that Mayes had been removed to Chatanoga. For a little white the mob contented itself with shouting and shooting into the air. Soon they began pounding on the heavy iron bars of one of the front windows and eventually it gave way. Men began swarming in to the jail the jailer and deputys were overpowered. Heavy timbers brought up through the mob, passed from hand to hand over the heads of the men. Using these as a battering ram, they attempted to force the doors to the white cells. Failing with the battering rams, guns were brought into play and in this way locks were broken. Even then the mob was forced to break through another door to get the pris oners. But they turned their attention to this forced the door and released all white men confined on the upper floors. ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., September 1.—The services Sunday morning at Mt. Zion A. M.

LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER. It sure is fun to see how nice some people can be when they don't want you to talk about things you know on them, but that won't always stop me. Course I'm just bound to tell some things, but I won't call any names this time, as to the gentleman seen with a very pretty girl and refused to give an introduction, then handed us the dope, it was his cousin from New York. Its better to put me wise cause I might ask the wife about that pretty cousin. So don't slip by on that cousin game with "Little Willie," just slip him an introduction and, it's all O. K. Let you off this time. We have said many times in our letter that, "Nobody loves a fat man" but we have been ordered by one, (a little sweet one) with authority, never to use that expression again, at least where she could hear it, because she knew it wasn't true. Now I'm not going to tell you of the facts she set forth to prove what she had said, but at any rate, I took her word for it and I'm not going to say that any more—not now at least. So that gets "poor little me out" and leaves Tiff just where he was. Now its hard to tell what he will have to say when he returns from Buckroe, that's where I heard those beautiful words, down by the sad sea last week and they sounded good to me and I know Tiff will hear something while there, so we will reserve our sympathy until he returns.

"Four Leaf Clover's" is the title of a very pretty love song, but there is only one who really can put the little poem over, that one's Dr. J.

He repeats the words in a way that would stir the soul of the dullest man. Now how can a girl keep from forgiving him? Bat sure enough, no playing, it's some pretty. I fell for it myself, you know it must be some verse. Ladies who don't know it, ask Dr. J. Sterling or "Little Willie." At any rate when you get it, it try it out on me, I can stand it and won't shed a single cry, but I can't say that for my pal. But there is a reason, but I ain't gonna' tell dis time.

NUMBER 43 PROMINENT NEWSPAPER MAN FALLS VICTIM TO FURY OF JEALOUS GIRL. Dallas, Texas, Aug. 29.—Hon W. E. King, for over a quarter of a century editor of the Dallas Express a week by newspaper was shot and almost instantly killed at his home, 2811 Flora street, Wednesday afternoon, August 29, by Miss Hattie C. Burleson, his former private secretary who surrendered to Justice of the Peace Samuel J. Barnett (white) shortly after committing the crime. Editor King was shot through the chest near the heart. He died en route to the Emergency Hospital. Miss Burleson is being held in jail on a charge of murder. JEALOUSY THE MOTIVE. "I killed him because I was jealous of him," is the motive given by Miss Burleson for the crime. She told her story to Assistant District Attorney P. P. Ballowe. An avidfait charging her with murder was signed by Depu constable W. G. Kennedy before Mr. Ballowe and filled in Justice Barnett's court. "He had jilted me long enough and I just 'got tired of his fooling me,' she declared. Miss Burle son said Editor King did not reciprocate her affectionate regards as she wanted him to and as she wanted other women and the public at large to understand. WOMAN PLANS CRIME The woman said on the morning of August 20 she wept for hours, be fore making her final decision. This decision was to stay Editor King and then turn the revolver on herself. After firing the first bullet at the editor and soiling his body drop to the floor her nerves became shattered and she rushed from the prairies with the smoking revolver in her hands. She ran a short distance from the house and summoned an automobile and ordered the chauffeur to drive her to the office of Justice Barnett where she surrendered. She exclaimed upon entering the office: "Is this the sheriff's office? Well, I have just killed a man. He is W. E. King and you'll find him in the house where you found 2811 Flora two months ago." Two chambers of the revolver were empty. "What did you shoot him for?" inquired Justice Barnett. "I loved him and he promised to marry me, but every time I asked him when he in tended to do so he would put me off." KING REPULSES WOMAN. Miss Burleson carefully planned her crime, it is said. She appeared at the home of Editor King at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the day of the tragedy. She says that Mr. King he came angry because she told him of her mission and ordered her from his room. Thinking of her past association with him and deeming his scolding improper as an answer to her question Miss Burleson says she became furious and elected to settle the whole affair by the use of her revolver. Mr. King endeavored to escape when she made for her weapon but the position in which she was sitting would necessitate his passing her to leave the room. She remembers uttering an oath as the editor endeavored to gain possession of the revolver and it was at this time that she fired. Power burns, indicating fire at close range were found on Mr. King's clothing. "I will tell the whole story when I am brought to trial. I want the pub lie to know what relationship existed between Mr. King and myself. I plead with him but he wouldn't listen," she said. MEN FIGHT OVER BODY. When Mr. King's body was carried to the hospital two men prominent in fraternal affairs appeared and sought to arrange for the funeral. They he came involved in a heated controversy as to what lodge should superintend the funeral. The men came to blows and were placed under arrest by Ambulance Driver W. Houston (white). King had been prominent in public and political life, for a period covering thirty years. During this time he had also served as editor of the Dallas Express one of the largest enterprises in Texas. He was well known in fraternal circles. BORN IN MISSISSIPPI Mr. King was the son of Richard and Margaret King. He was born in Macon, Miss., in 1866. He was educated in the schools of Macon. After completing his high school education he taught school for a number of years in the public schools of Laudercale and Jasper counties where he enjoyed the distinction of standing the best examination of any teachers in these counties, white or black. Seeing the need of a newspaper to defend the rights of his downrodden race he gan the publication of a paper known as "Fair Play" about 1855 which had a wide circulation and was successfully managed until forced to close his shop and leave the state on account of the position his paper took in defense of his race. He came to Dallas in 1891 and so secured a position as maging editor of the Western Star, published by Rev. E. W. D. Isaacs. In 1892 he began the publication of the Dallas Bee; later the name was changed to the Dallas Express. He was editor-in-chief at the time of his death and by his uncompromising stand for justice and right the paper is considered one of the strongest publications in the Southwest. The deceased is survived by a brother, John King of Greenville, Miss., who will come for the remains and to make funeral arragements. A NEW COURT AT GRETNA. Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., G. W.

JONES, Pres. DR. C. P. MADISON, Sec'y. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1919. When the Court Convenes GUILTY! THE ACCUSED GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF KNOXVILLE RIOTS (By W. L. Porter.) KNOXVILLE, TENN., September 3.—(Special wire to Planet)—Conditions are back to normal about the city, following more than twenty-four hours of rioting. Excitement ran high following the killing of Mrs. Bertie Lindsey, white, at her home on Eighth Avenue, early Saturday morning. Miss Ora White, the only other person in the home with Mrs. Lindsey at the time of the killing, furnished the police officers a description of a colored man, as the one having committed the murder. Inchure Mayes, a well known character, was arrested on the cue furnished Shaw Ware Cate. Fearing mob violence the sheriff rushed Mayes to Chattanooga, ten, for safekeeping. As the news of the murder spread, excitement ran high and a mob of white men began forming early Saturday afternoon. Late in the night the county jail was stormed and although the mob was thoroughly convinced that the prisoner accused of having committed the crime was not there, the front of the large brick structure was almost completely painted. Members of the mob pushed in the guards stationed there, who were powerless to do anything, and conceded thirty or more gallons of whiskey. This whiskey was stored in the jail after having been captured in different raids. After seizing the whiskey the mob went to the first and second floors of the jail where many white prisoners were confined, and down the large iron doors, giving the prisoners their freedom. The third floor, occupied by color prisoners was passed by unnoticed by the mob and no injury was accorded any colored prisoner. The looting of every hardware store, pawn shop and second hand store by the bm, followed the jail delivery. Firearms, watches and other valuables were stolen. The State Militia stationed at Camp Sever and composed of inexperienced and prejudiced youths were ordered by the police and patrolled the city during Sunday. The only clash between the races was that between the soldiers and a small group of Negroes at the corner of Vine and Central, a point leading into the colored section. One of the officers' commanding the soldiers was killed by Joseph Etter, a colored second hand store proprietor and Etter in turn was killed by the soldier Watkins and a Carter Watkins, wounded by the two young colored men stepped from a train on which they had been serving as dining car waiters. During Sunday the order issued to the soldiers by unknown parties to search all colored persons, was carried out and many of the leading members of the race, including new and women were greatly humiliated by the tactics employed by the prejudiced soldiers, who were strangers to this section. Mayor John E. McMillan came to the relief of the colored citizens by getting in touch with Governor Roberts and demanding that the soldiers be withdrawn. Frank Pate, colored deaf and dumb Above me is a beckoning gleam— The golden glory of my Dream; The height of hope whereon I see The best of all I mean to be. Between that future and today The price is hard that I must pay, But all the sacrifice of earth Is less than one lone soul is worth, Love whispers from the lowly sod That serving Man is serving God. The sum of Heaven's charge to me Is what I am and will to be. I will—and grow the strength to climb Up from the base to life's sublime. University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill. man and with only one hand was ordered to halt by a bunch of soldiers and not obeying the command promptly was shot and seriously wounded. No fighting between the races has been experienced during the entire affair. No colored men have been lynched and the report of race having been engaged in is utterly illusory. The object of the mob seemed to have been to release sixteen not serious criminals and to engage in a wholesale robbery rather than to avenge the death of the woman. Maurice Mayes, the young colored man charged with the killing, is a notorious character and while his guilt has not been established the colored people are not in sympathy with the victim, had ridden on the fair-minded, white citizens are determined to see that he gets a fair trial and had ordered a special meeting of the grand jury to investigate the charge against him. Knoxville has always been noted for the friendly relationship existing between the races and aside from the conduct of the soldiers who were placed on guard, that caused protests to go up from the colored city to the white city, and that would intercept the pleasant feeling between the races. A Card of Thanks. Mrs. Mary E. Hopson and family of 711 St. James street wish to take this means of expressing their appreciation of the sympathy and kindness shown them in their bereavement caused by the sudden death of her son Robert L. Hopson and also to thank those who sent so many beautiful flowers. The Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention is doing a great work on the foreign fields and the demands for more aggressive work is more emphatic than ever. All the other bodies have realized this new demand and are making strenuous of forts to realize the necessary funds wherewith to answer this new call, 'For Example' The white Baptist of the South has launched a campaign for seventy five million dollars to be subscribed or pledged by the 31st of December next and while our body cannot attempt anything so colossal it can certainly make an effort to do much more than heretofore; and for this let us all hope and pray.

CLOSING OF A GREAT REVIVAL Evangelist Skipwith's Great Success. Petersburg, Va., Metropolitan Baptist church, Rev. Eli Tartie D. D. Pastor. The great mid summer revival that has been going on at our church for four weeks came to a successful last Sunday night, with four hundred congregants one hundred and eighty for baptism and over one thousand and dollars ($1,000) raised for the Church. The Rev. W. H. Skipwith, R. D., our great international preacher, slager and evangelist through God stirred our city as never before. For four weeks and five Sundays this great man of God preached and sang so powerfully until men, women and children came flocking to the mercy seat crying what shall I do to be saved. Dr. Tartte the pastor, in speaking to a reporter about his meetings said, that Dr. Skipwith has been serving him and his people about eight years with great results; but this is his first time to put on a cam paign in August, so you see brenth, with God and the right kind of a man you can put on a revival at any time. May God keep and over bless our dear brother Skipwith. ROTTERS ARE ROUNDED UP KNOXVILLES SHERIFE Ten Already Jailed and Many More Face Indictment by Special Grand Jury. CITY SPENDS QUIET HOLIDAY. Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 1,—Although still under heavy patrol by national guarensmen and special officers following the race riots of Saturday night and Sunday morning, in which two men were killed and six teen sent to hospitals with wounds, Knoxville today passed a peaceful holiday. Two of those wounded in the main battle Saturday midnight are not expected to survive the night. Sheriff Cate tonight caused the arrest of ten white men on charges of assisting prisoners to escape when jail was attacked Saturday night. Ojai was charged with this charge and that of rioting at the crime scene. The arrested tone are Dave Fox, Arthur Clinton, Von Luttrell, John Couch; James Finney; Dowey Layman; Will Davis; Bruce Chaffay, Jim Dalton and Jeff Clalberone. The situation has so far improved that Adjutant General Sweeney to right sort home the Third Battalion of the Fourth Tennessee Infantry from the western counties of the State and expects to release all other outside companies Tuesday leaving here the machine gun company and one rifle company which have headquarters in Knoxville. Labor Day celebrations were held separately today by the whites and Negroes as originally planned, the only change being that a scheduled break was abandoned. No disorder of any kind was reported to the Troops still are patrolling the bush ness district and the Negro sections with machine guns in position, but search of citizens for weapons has been discontinued and the barred zones in the Negro districts have been abandoned. A special session of the grand jury has been called for Wednesday to in investigate the riots and to consider the case of Maurice F. Mayes the Negro accused of murdering Mrs. Bertie Lindsey early Saturday morning which crime inspired the storming of the county jail Saturday night and the subsequent race riots. Mayes is in jail at Chattanooga where he was taken Saturday noon before the trouble started here. In addition to the casualty list the rioting caused a property loss of more than $50,000 in damage to the jail and store buildings and loot so scured by the mob, according to careful estimates today. --- PERSONALS AND BRIEFES —Dr. C.

In the Interest of Educational and Industrial Development. The annual speaking tour of representatives of the Negro Organization Society, Inc., in the interest of educational and industrial development of the colored people of Virginia will be conducted during the week beginning September 8. A total of sixteen meetings will be held in Prince Edward, Campbell, Nelson, Fluor, and William Stafford Spotsylvania; Caroline; King William; Kng and Queen and Essox Counties. The subjects to be discussed will relate to the educational needs and the health needs of the race as indicated by the world war. The Negro Organization Society as an instrument in helping to meet these needs will also be described. The men who are scheduled to speak in this camp are Major Allen Washington; J. M. Gandy; Rev. A. A. Graham; W. T. B. Williams; T. C. Erwin; Rev. W. T. Johnson; Rev. L. L. Downing; M. W. Conor; E. A. Long; Rev. James S. Russell; A. W. Holmes; J. H. McGrew; T. C. Walker; J. B. Pierce; W. E.

A preliminary meeting of the speakers will be held at Miller's Hotel Richmond on September 5th and the first meeting of the campaign will occur on the following day. This campaign will be the sixth of its kind conducted by the Negro Organization Society. During the past five years the people in thirty-five counties and ten towns and cities have been reached through this means with practical messages of education and economic development and from this source has come in large measure the inspiration and enthusiasm that have accompanied the efforts of the colored people for the improvement of their institution. Large numbers of white as well as colored people usually attend the meetings and it is customary to have prominent county and town officials joys also addresses. The Society on joys also addresses departments in its effort for "historic school, better health; better homes; better farms" for the colored people of the state. Its principal officers are Allen Washington president; J. M. Gandy executive secretary; Rov. A. A. Graham, chairman executive committee; T. C. Erwin and T. C. Walker Field Agents. TWO WASHINGTON POLICEMEN HURT IN FIGHT. One Loses "Gun" in Northwest "Schupa" and Pair is Arranged Two policemen of the Eighth precinct were cut and beaten and one deprived of his revolver in a fight yesterday afternoon between the bluecoats and Negroes whom they at tempted to arrest. Private Fred Antonelli, aged 33, suffered lacerations of the scalp as Mary Boston and her husband Fran Asi Boston strenuously objected to visiting the station house on U street near Ninth. While Antonelli was menaced by a group of Negroes at Fourth of V. streets his police officer as tat as smacked away. Private Herb Glassman was attacked with scissors, his uniform coat being hacked and shredded. The trouble started when Mary and France Boston left their home at 302 1-2 Bryant street and sailed to the house of a relative against whom they had a grudge. Mary was challenging occupants to fight when Antonelli arrested her with her hus band. He was about to phone for the racon when the battle opened. Among those who mixed in the fracas was James Finley Wilson of 907 N street Negro editor of the Washington Eagle. Mary Boston and Wilson were arrested but Francis Boston escaped with the revolver. It is said that a large Negro coningent is dissatisfied with the administration of Captain Harrison for merely of the Sixth precinct who succeeled in a depot.

Lays Plan to Political Play by Lloyd George for a Roman Show to Bob- ster British Prestige—Can't See End of Wars—Says Germany Will Come Back with a Mission. (By Karl II. von Wiegand.) Hanover, July 25. (delayed.) The demand of the Allies for the trial of the former Kaiser, German army leaders and other officers by tribunals of the Allies will if carried out not only violate sovereignty and do violence to the most fundamental principles of international law, but will also reestablish the ancient Roman precedent that patriotic duty and the defense of the country constitute a crime for the defeated in war according to the views held by Field Marshall von Hindenburg. The former head of the German General Staff and Chief Military adviser of the Kaiser in the last two years of the war talked to me freely of his views today. "Do the American people join in the demand," he asked, "that to defeat in war shall be added the bitter est himiliation that be visited upon a country and people—a return to the day of the Roman imperators—by ro establishing the ancient var custom that the leaders of the defeated may be draggel into the victorious countries before prejudice tribunals where the accusers and judges are one and the same. Do the American people desire to see love of country and duty to it and the flag and fighting for its proservation made a crime for the vanquished in war? Do they wish a premium to be placed upon disloyalty and disobedience to the Government and its authority in time of war? The prosecution, or rather the persecution of the Kaiser and the German army leaders will have that result." But the Kaiser is charged with in stigating and beginning the war," I interposed. CHARGE ALWAYS MADE BY VICTORS. "The victors in war always can make that charge as an excuse for demanding the heads of the ruler and the military leaders of the vanquished nation which they may deire to see annihilated or humiliated into the dust," quickly retorted the Field Marshal. "But Premier Lloyd George declares it should be done as a lesson for the future," I persisted. "That is what the ancient Romans said," replied Gen. von Hindenburg. "The Romans dragged kings and leaders of defeated armies behind their triumphal charlots as an example to others. History will answer if such examples put an end to wars or even lessoned them. "Premier Ilydoy George has the thoughts of a reincarnated Roman imperator; he would drag the Kaiser and the German army and political leaders behind the British chariot to increase his popularity; he would make a Roman show in London or some other city to add to British prestige by exhibiting the Germans as proof of the power of Great Britain. "He thinks perhaps by this means to terrorize the 60,000,000 of Germans even into the third generation. He is mistaken. Instead, he will implant a most implacable hatred, a hatred that would not promise perma nent peace to the world. He will fall in that goal which he professes to be his aim if he expects to reach it by such means, just as the Roman imperators before him with the same thought failed to terrorize the nation into permanent slavery to Rome. The aged Field Marshal spoke in short, terse, abrupt sentences, without passion, but with a forcefulness that betrayed deep feeling. TAKE ME INSTEAD, HINDEN- BURG PLEAS "I am not speaking for myself," he continued, I am an old man and I am a soldier, and as such I shall take what fate metes out to me. If it give greater hustre to the martial shields of Marshall Foch and Haigh to have the man who opposed them on the grim field of battle dragged behind their triumphal chariots, if it will add to British and French glory and chivalry then take me in place of my Kaiser: I am at their disposal. "I have written that to Marshall Foch as soldier to soldier, but as yet he has not designed to acknowledge my letter. But Marshall Foch and Field Marshall Haigh are soldiers and as such they understand a soldier's honor and a soldier's duty to his country. They did their duty, we tried to do ours; the fates decided for them. "We submitted as a nation soldom or never did; is it not enough? Or is it thumbs down "I respect Marshall Foch, Field Marshall Haig, General Pershing and the other leaders on their side and I hope I also have their respect as a soldier who did his duty. If political minds turn back to Roman war days I will not believe until it has been proved to me, that soldiers such as Foch, Haig and Pershing support the demand for the delivery of the Kaiser. My Kaiser did not desire the war; he is and remains my Emperor. Since my arrival in Germany in March Field Marshall von Hindenburg has declined a number of times to see foreign newspaper correspond dents. In his last refusal of my request for an interview he stated to me that he did not feel that he could say anything so long as he still was chief of the General staff. After his retirement he finally granted the interview when I agreed to confine the discussion to his views on the demand for the surrender of the Kaiser. LIVES IN VILLA GIVEN BY HIS FRIENDS. The Field Marshall is living in a large and beautiful villa placed at his disposal by his fellow citizens of Hanover. On the door is a small brass plate reading: "Von Beckendorf and Von Hindenburg." The aged General took his medicine like a soldier and remained in the army after the revolution. As he explained it himself: "I contributed what I could toward preventing a complete collapse and at the same time to keep Bolshevism at a distance." Fidelity to them has made the Field Marshall a living hero in the hearts of the Germans in the day of their mutual adversity. I found Von Hindenburg physically fresh and vigorous, but depressed in spirits. In a civilian suit of dark brown he looked even more massive than in uniform. "I feel strong, but inwardly I am a broken man, as might be expected after such events," he remarked. He denounced as untrue reports, that the Kaiser always had taken the initiative in the conduct of the war. Explaining the relations between the Kaiser and the General Staff he said: "After August, 1916 I was Chief of the General Staff and as such was the chief military advisers of the Kaiser in regard to battle plans and the general conduct of the war. I made my recommendations to him and he signed them. "I accept all responsibility for him during that period. The Kaiser held himself back and was very reserved in regard to military plans, listening to his advisers, although as Commander in Chief he could disapprove or intervene." PUTS PARALLEL BEFORE AMERINCANS Von Hindenburg asked with much interest if President Wilson was not Commander in Chief of our land and naval forces and therefore at least nominally responsible for the campaign determined upon. "How would the American people feel if after a disastrous war the victors demanded the giving up of the Pres., the army leaders and other officers?" he demanded. "Just as the American people would feel so do the German people feel today, except those who have lost all love of country and do not believe in having a country." I touched upon the devastation of France attending his retreat from the San Quentin line. "A deplorable military necessity," was the tense reply. he added: "What would the people of your North have thought if the South had been victorious in the civil war and the Confederates had demanded the surrender of General Sherman for his devastation in the famous march to the sea?" "How about the mistreatment of prisoners?" I asked. "If there is to be an investigation of that" he replied, then to be fair and just it should not be one sided, but should cover both sides in the war." "Turning he picked up a volume of sworn affidavits and official reports alleging mistreatment of German pris oners and said:" "Read that. It makes one's hair stand on end to learn what incredibly in human treatment some of our people were subjected to in some of your prison camps." The Field Marshall recalled our last meeting, in December 1916, on which occasion I had warned him against underestimating America as a factor if she were drawn into the war. At that time both Von Hindenburg and General Ludendorff remarked that the United States could not possibly raise and equip an army in time to take an effective part in the war. PRAISES EFORTS OF AMERICANS "The achievement of your country was colossal—yes, truly colossal—to stamp such an army out of the ground," he said frankly. There was a note of unmistakable admiration in his voice. "You Americans may have an opportunity soon of showing just how great peace angels you are," he re marked, referring to certain news despatches. Then you do not believe that this will be the last war? I asked. The Field Marshall burst out laughing. "Only dreamers believe that," was the answer. Then you do not believe the League of Nations will render wars impossible? I persisted. "So long as mankind exists there will be wars," he replied. There may be fewer wars, but no great people will ever submit questions of nation al honor or national existence to a tribunal of other people, or will accept an unjust judgment dictated by interest or might without a test of strength. Certainly this peace gives little encouragement to hope that wars may end." Will Germany ever come back? I asked. "The German people will rise again," declared the Field Marshall with conviction in his tone. But it will not take place in my day," he added. Then turning to Captain von Hindenburg of the General Staff, who had been a silent listener to the conversation he said: "My son will see it. Although he has been with the shock troops throughout the war God has spared him to me, perhaps that he may see the day denied to me when Germany shall rise again." He added: "Between the Romanic people on the one side and the Slavic on the other, the Gorman people have a mission in the world." Although the Field Marshall re monstrated twice against my leaving the topic to which I had agreed to confine myself I got him back to the part of the United States in the war.

"I certainly do," was the laconic answer, emphasized by an eloquent movement of the huge shoulders. As the broken spirited German national hero bade me good-bye there came to my mind a picture of our first meeting in the Royal Palace at Posen in December 1914 and again later in the winter during the battles of the masurian Lakes, then at Ptios in December 1916 on the eve of the fall of Burcharest, when he said in reference to the expected spring offensive by the Allies in the west; "Let them come on. We are ready for them. The Entente has lost 10,000,000 men; if they could not win with them they could not win with out them." I recalled also General Ludendorff's remark on that occasion: "The war will be decided before you can intervene effectively." Today the German war hero is nearing his seventy-second year and is waiting to end his days, a bitterly disappointed old man. EDITOR KING MURDERED Colonel F. E. King, Editor and Founder of the Dallas Express, the largest Race publication in the south west, was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock at 2811 Flora street. Mr. King lived only a few minutes after he was shot. He was shot in the upper right chest. Hattie C. Burleson, former person at secretary and boarding mistress of Mr. King voluntarily surrendered immediately after the shooting and an affidavit charging her with murder was filed in Justice Barnett's court. Born in Mississippi, Mr. King was the son of Richard and Marguerite King. He was born in Macon,Miss., in 1866. He was educated in the schools of Macon. After completing his high school education he taught school for a number of years in the public schools of Lauderdale and Jasper counties where he enjoyed the distinction of standing the best examination of any teachers in these counties, white or black. Seeing the need of a newspaper to defend the rights of his down trodden race, he began the publication of a paper known as "Fair Play" about 1885 which had a wide circulation and was successfully managed until forced to close his shop and leave the state on account of position his paper took in defense of his race. He came to Dallas in 1891 and so secured a position as managing editor of the Western Star, published by Rev. E. W. D. Isaacs in 1892. He be gan the publication of the Dallas Bee later the name was changed to the Dallas Express. He was editor-in-chief at the time of his death and by his uncompromising stand for justice and right, the paper is conidered one of the strongest publishi ons in the southwest. The deceased is survived by a brother, John King of Greenville, Miss., who will come for the remains and make funeral arrangements. $100.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Nortok, Va. July 25, 1919.

We hardly think that the Attorney General of the United States or Hon. James F. Byrnes, a congressman from South Carolina will find just grounds for complaint in the editorial which appears in the New York Crisis for September. It represents a position that we have taken and asserted for more than thirty years. Editor W. E. B. DuBois says: Brothers we are on the Great Deep. We have cast off on the vast voyage which will lead to Freedom or Death. For three centuries we have suffered and covered. No race ever gave Passive Resistance and Submission to Evil longer, more plenteous trial. To day we raise the terrible weapon of Self Defense. When the murderer comes he shall not longer strike us in the back. When the armed lynch ers gather, we too must gather armed. When the mob moves, we propose to meet it with bricks and clubs and guns. But we must trend here with solemn caution. We must never let justifiable soft defense against individuals become blind and lawless of fense against all white folk. We must not seek reform by violence. We must not seek vengeance. "Vengeance is Mine," saith the Lord, or to put it otherwise, only Infinite Justice and Knowledge can assign blame in this poor world, and we ourselves are sinful men, struggling desperately with our own crime and ignorance. We must defend ourselves, our homes our wives and children against the lawless without stint or hesitation; but we must carefully and scrupulously avoid on our own part bitter and unjustifiable aggression against any body. And again: This line is difficult to draw. In the South the Police and Public Opinion back the mob and the least resistance on the part of the innocent black victim is nearly always construed as a lawless attack on society and government. In the North the Police and the Public will dodge and falter, but in the end they will back the Right when the Truth is made clear to them. But whether the line between just resistance and angry retaliation is hard or easy, we must draw it carefully, not in wild resentment, but in grim and sober consideration; and then back of the impregnable fortress of the Divine Right of Self Defense, which is sanctioned by every law of God and man, in every land, civilized and uncivilized we must take our unfaltering stand. Honor, endless and undying Honor to every man, black or white, who in Houston., East St. Louis, Washington and Chicago gave his life for civilization and Order. If the United States is to be a land of Law, we would live humbly and peaceably in it,—working, singing, learning and dreaming to make it and ourselves nobler and better; if it is to be a Land of Mobs and Lynchers we might as well die today as tomorrow. "And how can man die better "Than facing fearful odds "For the ashes of his fathers "And the temples of his gods?" This is a conservative way of dealing with the subject. The unknown quantity in the equation are the list less, irresponsible, loafing, loud, mouthed elements amongst us, who talk much and who do little. They arouse one class of white people to the point of prejudiced fury and then after starting the trouble seek safety so that the innocent members of our race suffer when the fighting begins. What is true of our people is also true of white people. They have the white hoodlums, who see in a dark face a bitter enemy. They civvy the progress of well-to-do colored people and readily embrace the opportunity to arouse white people to energetic action and then they hide behind the officers of the law, who are expected to shoot down colored people first and investigate their alleged guilt after wards. There should be a union of the bet ter class of white people and the bet ter class of colored people in every community to the end that the law abiding and law enforcing elo ments may engage in one common crusade against both of these elements without regard to race, color or previous conditions of servitude. Colored men, in order to show their good faith have in many instances gone with mobs to hunt down alleged offending colored men and have been present at the lynching of these alleged culprits when captured, making them selves murderers in the eyes of the law but winning the good opinion of the white men who composed these murdering bands of outlaws. We do not see the wisdom of this, as it aids in one respect and does double injury in another. There can be no doubt of the fact that whether the lyncher and the rioter he white or colored Caucasian or Negro the time and place to punish him is when he is committing the outrage and the right of self-defense is recognized by all law, both human and divine. Selah. EDITOR H. C. SMITH AND HIS TRADUCERS. The condition of the colored peo now seems to be about the same in one section of the country as it is ed citizens of Cleveland, Ohio to have a United States riot gun in their homes. Editor Smith's report of the interview is as follows: All day, last Friday a few "Negro" employees of the Davis administration were circulating the report in Central Avenue that the editor of The Gazette was "going to be jailed tomorrow for the publication of that editorial" and most of the next day Saturday they were telephoning that he has been failed" All this time the editor was in blissful ignorance of it all. Not until he reached The Gazette office at 11:15 A. M., Saturday morning and found the invitation from Chief of Police Frank W. Smith to call and see him, had he any inkling that anything was impending. As soon as he could finish his morning mail, the editor went to the Central Police Station and found the Chief out at dinner (12:20) Leaving word that he would return in the afternoon the editor went to his dinner, returning to The Gazette office at 3 P. M., where he found the Chief's private Secretary Charles S. Smith, awaiting him with a message from the Chief to come to his office at once. At 3:30 P. M., after finishing his afternoon mail the editor accompanied Mr. Charles Smith to Chief Smith's office, arriving there about 3:45 P. M., and being ushered into the private room where he found the Chief and his assistant, Inspector Graul. For about one hour, the Chief and the editor discussed the editorial in question, the Washington, Chicago and East St. Louis riots, the Bundy case, mob violence, and lynching in general etc. the Inspector joining in occasionally. It was a gentleman's discussion pure and simple, and decidedly not what other persons trouble-makers had apparently tried so hard for two days to bring about. The Chief's prompt and praiseworthy reputation of the statement attributed to him in last Saturday's News is positive proof of that. A funny angle of this matter is the fact that that paper's publication of what it alleged the Chief said to the editor was made two or three hours before the conference between them was held. That is certainly "going some" for a Cleveland newspaper It was the rank News publication that moved the editor of the Gazette to call the managing editor of the Sunday News Leader on the 'phone, Saturday evening and insist upon the correction which was promptly made. The editor of The Gazette certainly appreciates the great interest the great mass of our people in this community exhibited in the matter and wishes it were possible for the local daily papers and all of our city and county officials to have witnessed their exhibition of friendship and loyalty on Saturday evening, all day Sunday and since. Their hearts were with "The Old Reliable" and it appreciates the fact more than it can say. They know we know and every body also concerned now, knows that the "father" of Ohio's Mob Violence or Anti Lynching law and of effective mob violence legislation in this country would not, could not promote mob violence as some malicious persons tried hard (but in vain) to make Chief Smith believe. On the contrary all The Gazette has or ever will print is for just the opposite purpose. It is unafterly opposed "to the mob and our readers well know this. A man's home—where is all that he holds most dear—is his castle! Advising him to have protection in that home, whether it be against a thief, a would-be murderer or a mob orer is no crime, is not contributory to the same, is not without the law but clearly within the law and good sound advice. There is hardly an intelligent home in this city or in the country for that matter, that is with out such protection and all know it. The law permits it, if indeed it does not encourage it. The Gazette stands for law and orer! No agency, among our people of this community has more constantly and incessantly for years urged our people to be lawabiding to the last degree but at the same time to be Men THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA and Women who know their rights and privileges as citizens and to insist upon them in season and out in a proper way. Among these rights and privileges is the invaluable one of being protected in the home against any and all unlawful eventuities. It seems to us that these white officials are more uneasy about race riots in the North than the white officials in the South seem to be and when they occur they know less how to curb and control them. With all of the reports of such occurrences in southern cities, we do not know of any instance where more discretion was shown and better results obtained than was either shown or obtained in Washington, or Chicago. Colored people defended them selves and the lower elements, both white and colored for a time seemed to have undisputed sway. In southern communities, the feeling between white and colored citizens has never been more friendly than it is right now. In the North, the colored citizen is being regarded as an intruder and as an interloper and outside of the pale of law. Many of our best and many more of our worst 'products have migrated to this northern land. In the meantime this important land. In the meantime those of us who are here are cultivating a closer relationship between the better class of white and colored people with the idea of building up a cosmopolitan Southland where the interests of one, regardless of color may be the concern of all. When we arm, it shall be for the protection of the white man's home against the lawless colored element in our midst as it is to arm for the protection of the colored man's home against the lawless white element that has left that trail of bloody law less achievements in this section for half a century and more. Let us have peace and let us talk peace and there shall be peace. WHITE AND COLORED PEOPLE UNITE. If the brutal beating of Mr. John R. Shillady in Austin, Texas had accomplished no other result, the fact that it has brought about a conference of the better class of white and colored people of the Lone Star State to discuss the race question will compensate in a large measure for all of the embarrassment and suffering experienced by that distinguished white leader. The Associated Press sends out the following: Austin, Texas., Sept. 1.—Resolutions declaring emphatic opposition to "people of the North who do not understand conditions in the South interfering with our relationship," adopted by the executive board of the St. John's Missionary Negro Baptist Association were made public at a meeting here last night of two thousand Negroes and more than one hundred white persons called to discuss the race question. "If we are left to ourselves," the resolution declared, "we will, in time adjust all our differences for the good of all concerned." The Negro Baptist Association which called the meeting has a membership of 20,000 Negroes in the vicinity of Austin. A portion of the preamble to the resolution declares: "Those magazines, newspapers and periodicals, published by Negroes, that magnify the wrongs and minimize the good, that publish and bran dish before the eye incendiary articles at this time, are enemies rather than friends of the race." Negroes here say the Austin meeting is the beginning of a nation-wide movement to establish a better under standing between the races. It is a fact that we have been left to ourselves down here and it is a fact that we are largely adjusting some of our differences for the good of all concerned. We join with the St. John's Missionary Negro Baptist Association's Executive Board in declaring that those journals, published by Negroes or by white people either that magnify the wrongs and mind mize the good are doing more harm to our interests than good, but on the other hand those that publish both the good and the bad are rendering a real service to both races. It seems to us though that the county judge, who was connected with this outrage and the men, who aided and abetted him are trying to hide behind the colored people of Texas in an effort to justify this rageous conduct. If the Negroes of Austin, Texas are to begin a nationwide movement to establish a better understanding between the races, it would be well for them to start right by aligning themselves on the side of law and order. PECULIAR CONDITIONS Congressman James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, in a recent speech delivered in the House of Representatives charged certain colored leaders and certain race journals in connection with the Industrial Workers of the World with instituting a propaganda to cause race riots. We find in a more extended report of his utterances that he did exactly what he charged these colored men with doing only in a more aggravated form. During the course of his remarks, he referred to colored men of education and refined men attending dances in France with French women. Just what that had to do with attending dances in this country with white women, deponent saveth not. He knows that conditions on this side and those on the other side are different both as to the women and the men. Over here thanks to Hon. James F. Byrnes ancestors and probably some of his associates, we are able to dance with both white and colored women in the Southland. It is also true that when we marry some of these women, they make us dance. The mulattoes now residing in all parts of the United States are as fair as the fairest. They have blue eyes and either black or blonde hair and their forms or the forms of some of them seem to have been modelled after Venus herself. Why then should sensible colored men sigh for white women either in this country or in France? Why should Congressman Byrnes endeavor to stir up race feeling by intimating that colored men hanker after fair haired daughters of the Southland when he knows that a white female is safer with the average colored man than she would be with many of the male associates of her own race? Congressman Byrnes is anxious to punish a colored editor who has never been charged with murder but he has absolutely nothing to say concerning the white murderers, who the day after his remarks lynched an unoffending colored man in the neigh boring State, burning down churches and school-houses and ordering innocent people to seek a home in other parts of the country. But God is raising up friends for us and for every gate that is closed in our faces some kind hearted white men and women will see to it that another one is opened. "God reigns and the Government at Washington still lives." THE RIOT AT KNOXVILLE. Some worthless colored man was accused of approaching Mrs. Bortle Lindsey, a white lady in her home at Knoxville, Tenn. and in her fright in running away from him she killed herself. This was conveyed to the public as an assault by a Negro up on a white woman and when a colored man suspected of the offense was landed in Jail, a mob formed and attempted to break into the jail and lynch the accused man without a trial. As a result of this action more than a score of people have been in jured some of them fatally, thousands of dollars expended for troops fifty thousand dollars worth of property destroyed and the good name of the community irreparably injured. It would seem that this is convincing testimony that mob-law does not pay. In the meantime, the man guilty of the offense has not been punished and at this time, it is not at all certain that he is even under arrest, although a man is being placed on trial to prove his innocence. The newspapers say that eleven hundred guardmen were on duty, two hundred special policemen and seventy five special deputy sheriffs. This is the way a southern city under intelligent and patriotic southern officials proceed to preserve order at a minimum sacrifice of life. Sheriff Cate has caused the arrest of ten white men, upon a charge of rioting. They are Dave Fox, Arthur Clinton, Von Luttrell, John Couch James Finney; Dewey Layman, Will Davis; Bruce Chaffey; Jim Dalton and Jeff Claiborne. So admirably was the situation handled, there being evidently cooperation between the better class of white people and the better class of colored people that the white and colored men in their own separate manner held their Labor Day celebrations without any particular inconvenience. It is a noticeable fact that the mob leaders broke into the jail and proceeded to loot the supply of liquor held there. They seemed to be more anxious to secure the liquor than they were after the persons guilty of crime for they released old offenders men who had committed folonies. We would suggest though that the sheriffs and other officials in Philadelphia, Chicago and Washington journey to Knoxville to take lessons from the Sheriff there and the officers of the law to ascertain how best to handle race riots and how best to quickly restore order. Sheriff Cate can also show them how to apprehend the guilty parties without arresting only those, who happen to be Negroes, who did not foment the trouble and release the white folks, who caused the fatalities and injuries and loss of property.

Declares America Should Refuse to be Party to Alleged Oppressive Compact. MEANS MORE BLOODSHED. Pennsylvania Makes Plea for Germany, Saying United States Should Be No Guarantor of Enforcement of Harsh Conditions. Washington, August 29.—Declaring that the peace treaty cannot be enforced but will lay the foundation "for centuries of blood letting" Sena tor Knox of Pennsylvania, a Republic can member of the Foreign Relations Committee and former Secretary of State, told the Senate today that the United States should decline to be come a party to the settlement effected at Versailles and should negotiate a separate peace with Germany. In its "hard and cruel" terms, he asserted, the treaty imposed on Germany penalties which violate international law and engender strife. He declared there was no reason why the United States should project it self into the dangers of such a situation. "The more I consider this treaty" said Mr. Knox, the more I am convinced that the only safe way for us to deal with it is to decline to be a party to it at all. SHOULD RENOUNCE ALL OLAIMS "I think we should renounce in favor of Germany any and all claims for indemnity because of the war and see that she gets credit for what we renounce. We ought to renounce all participation or membership in commissions, committees, boards or otherwise provided for in the treaty in aid of its execution to which by its terms we are parties. We ought not to accept cessions of German territory. We ought to declare a general policy to regard with concern any threat of disturbance of general world peace, but at the same time we should reserve complete liberty of action either independently or in conjunction with other powers in taking such steps as we determine wise for preserving the peace "We ought then to carry out the spirit of the act of 1916 which authorized the President to convene the nations of the world together to establish a code of international law, reduce armaments to establish an international tribunal and go as far as possible in the direction of securing peace through justice through a league to which all the world are parties in its formation. WOULD BE A DIGNIFIED EXIT. "This would be a fitting, generous and dignified exit from a situation in which, primarily we had no direct concern. "It is indeed a hard and cruel peace that this treaty stipulates and I have no objections to its being so, but see no reason why we who do not partake in its spoils should be come parties to its harshness and cruelty. I see no reason why we should be parties to imposing upon Germany a treaty whose terms our negotiators say, she will not be able to meet; a treaty that robs our ancient friend, China in a way disapproved by our negotiators; a treaty that lays the foundation for centuries of blood letting, into which we should not be drawn; a treaty that, contrary to our own judgment, fails to fix the amount of indemnity to be paid, leaving that vast question to the whim of a majority of a commission on reparations; a treaty predicated upon the assertion that a stricken and helpless world requires our counsel and support but leaves to the beneficiaries the decision as to the measure and character of the benefactions they are to receive; a treaty that, with ominous words presages our involvement in the eruptions of suppressed volcanic world conditions, treaty that would require us to underwrite all the regional understandings between nations recognized by the league, most of which are based upon oppression of weaker nations, many of which are as yet secret and undisclosed and when disclosed might drive us to acts of injustice similar to that in which the President felt himself compelled to acquiesce in the case of Shantung." SHOULD MAKE OWN PEACE STATUS. Senator Knok said a state of peace actually would be established in the world as soon as three of the great powers had ratified the treaty, and that the United States should make her own peace status complete by a concurrent resolution of Congress. Declaring the Foreign Relations Committee had tried in vain to get important data relating to the treaty the Senator said the people at last THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA were waking to the true issue as the facts about the Versailles negotiations leaked out. "Little by little," he continued, "they are bringing a divulgence of the facts connected with the treaty and they may now hope finally to see the whole of the great gaint tragedy into which those whom they had charged with protecting them were about to betray them. "What is it about these things that the people cannot know? What is there to hide from them? Must we take this thing, as the German people must take it unsight and unseen? Are we to be no more advantaged than our fallen enemies." QUIT WAR AS WE ENTERED. Quoting President Wilson's declarations in 1917 that the purpose of the United States in the war was to overthrow German autocratic power and leave the German people free to "choose their own way of life," the Senator said that with the signing of the armistice "we had achieved the full purpose for which we entered the war" and should have "quit the war as we entered it, stillfree and independent, masters of our own destiny." Senator Knox paid a tribute to the service rendered the nation by citizens of German ancestry, who fought gladly, he said in the hope that their kinsmen in Germany would benefit in the end. Instead, he said peace conditions had been imposed which the German people never could fulfill. Calling attention that Russia was not included in the peace settle he continued; "Think you. Germany—smarting and staggering under the terms of this trety will supinely rest content with the dole of grace and sufferance we are vouchsafing her—the crumbs from her victors' table? That people will no more cease to plot and plan to recover Qeirr former high estate than did Satan plunged into the aby small depths of hell. Whether they are in the league, if formed or out of it Germany's agents secretly or openly, will be at work with her former allies, and with injured Russsia and with Japan. As Russia goes, so will go the whole Slavic and affiliated people. And if Germany succeed in this Western Europe at least must perish, DECLARES A FENNISHMAN. Stripped of its idealistic phrases, Mr. Knox said the treaty really was but an alliance among five great powes against whom Germany would try to bring a stronger alliance. The real interest of France he said was in gaining the friendship and not the enmity of the German people. "The instrument before us," he said, is not the treaty, but the truce of Versailles. "It takes, Germany's territory, European and foreign without compensation it takes from her practically all of her ocean shipping and a large portion of her inland vessels; it do prives her of all special benefits of treaties and conventions; it takes her cables; it compels her to supply large quantities of raw material; it interpositionizes her great river systems and throw them open to traffic of all nations on a national basis, as if they were the high seas; it opens her constiwise shipping to all nations; it compels her to grant exceptional import and export privileges and to accept important restrictions; it closes out German interests in practically the whole civilized world; it closes out the interests of that same world in Germany. Having done all this, it assesses against her provisionally with a stipulation permitting an increase, a debt of 120,000,000,000 gold marks which is in addition to the property restored in kind and to the value of the boats, gold and securities delivered; it makes her responsible for these damages inflicted not only by her self but by her allies and even by the allied and associated powers them relies with a list of items which in cludes some admittedly contrary to the rules of international law hitherto existing; finally and in addition she is compelled for the value of the property taken by the allied and associated powers. "The United States is bound up in every one of the obligations and duties incident to the enforcement of these terms with the great responsibilities attached hitherto.

WARN AGAINST "OPPRESSION" Foreign Relations Committee Decides on Longer Sessions to Hurry Work on Peace Treaty—Charges of Extension of Opium Traffic in China by Japan—Townsend and Williams Speak in the Senate. Coupling its public hearings with consideration of proposed amendments to the peace treaty the Senate foreign relations committee plans an extended sessions today to hasten work on its report to the Senate. After completion of its open meetings during the morning the committee will close its doors and take up pending amendments. It is like that the first to be considered will propose elimination of the international labor section and reduction of the representatives of British dominions in the league of nations assembly. Yesterday the committee heard several Negro delegations who proposed amendments guaranteeing race equality and providing for an American mandatory over Germany's African colonies. The case of several mid-European nationalities will be presented at today's meeting. The delegation of Negroes speaking for the National Equal Rights League told the committee that serious trouble might be expected unless better treatment were accorded Negroes in the United States. NOTICE BY BLACK MAN. "The black man has given notice" said A. Whaley a New York Negro "that what he has suffered in the past will not be endured in the future. He means business now. There can be no compromise." William Monrece Trotter of Boston secretary of the league voicing a similar opinion said the "oppression" of the Negro in America is reaching a point where no one could be sure " that our land will be a land of peace." Neither witness was questioned as to what he had in mind by these dee harations. Only five of the seventeen committee members all of them Republicans attended the meeting. An amendment to give the United States a mandatory over the Kamerun, a German colony in Africa, requested by Joseph T. Thomas a Negro of Cleveland Ohio, representing the National Race Congress. American Negroes he said, could be recruited to police the territory under white officers. AFRICAN COLONIES' DIVISION. A petition that all the African colonies taken from Germany he "dived between Egypt, Abyssinia and Liberia" was filed by the League of Darker Peoples of the World. Two amendments were proposed by the Equal Rights League. One would provide in the league of nations covenant that the members would agree and vouchsafy to their own citizens the possession of full liberty, rights of democracy and protection of life without restriction or distinction based on race, color creed or previous conditions. The other would add a similar guarantee as a separate section of the treaty. (Washington, D. C., Aug. 29.) EUROPE IS ABOUT TO SUFFER WORLD'S GREATEST EXODUS. British Government Learns 10,000,000 People Would Leave Continent, if Permitted. London, August 28.—The greatest exodus in history is looked for as soon as Europe finds the transportation facilities to make it possible. In formation gathered by the British government indicates that 10,000,000 persons are eager to leave the continent. The situation is regarded as full of peril. In official quarters here it is suggested that the United States does not appreciate the magnitude of the coming emigration. Britain fully aware of all that this exodus will mean, will continue its immigration restrictions. A government official said today: Britain, cannot sustain any more than it has and the emigrants will likely seek homes in the United States." Living conditions all over the continent are so bad and the promise of relief in the immediate future so slight, that hundreds of thousands are expected to emigrate from European countries. Officials are inclined to warn the United States to take steps guarding against being swamped by the inevitable avalanche. --- CHARRED BODY OF A COLORED MAN FOUND IN CHURCH DERRIS.

Three other Negro churches and a Negro lodge near Caldwell were burned on Tuesday night. Cooper is alleged to have been talking considerably of late in a manner offensive to the white people. It is alleged that a Chicago Negro newspaper that had been circulated among the Negroes here for several days has caused unrest among them. The white residents were informed that an uprising of Negroes was set for thirty days from yesterday. Cooper's own remarks it is alleged. were to the effect that the Negroes had been "run over for fifty years, but this will all change in thirty days. Petways's Gift Church is near the line between Dodge County and Lau rens County. It is also near the plantation owned by A. P. Petway. Cooper was taken from his home Wednesday night according to a story told by his wife by a crowd of fifteen or twenty white men. The church was discovered in flames at 1 o'clock this morning. Shortly before the fire was discovered residents of the neighborhood were aroused by shooting about fifty shots having been fired.
