The 803RD PIONEER INFANTRY WAS UP ON THE ARGONE DURING LAST BIG DRIVE Picked from 15,000 men of the colored draft is the body of the 803rd Pioneer Infantry, temporarily on duty in Pontanezen. On authority of a letter from the Adjutant General of the Army the regiment was formed during June, 1918, at Camp Grant, Illinois, under command of Milton L. McGrew. They were designated officially as the 803rd on June 29th, and the big portion of draft men were assigned on July 23rd. From the ranks of the 25th Infantry, regular army in Honolulu, Hawaii, there came twenty-five non-comissioned officers to finish up the training of the new men and drill continued up to September 10th when they left for the port of embarkation. Landed at Glasgow. Lincoln at Glasgow. The regiment was separated on several transports on the way over and landings made at Glasgow, Scotland, and Liverpool, England, on September 23th. A short time in rest camps there and then across the channel to Cherbourg, France. The crossing came on October 3rd and they were sent to Latrobe for further training. But they were not to stay there long. On the 16th came orders transferring them to the Second Army and they moved immediately to the sector around Xlvray, Buxieres and Esses. There the first battalion was detached for service with the Salvage Department of the 24thmaster Department. For a time the balance of the regiment operated with the Advance Sector of the S. O. S. and then on October 22nd went into the front line trenches as infantry. That was in the Toule sector and the big Argonne-Meuse offensive was on. Colors Decorated. It was the hottest fight in the war CARMEN MAY RESUME WORK ON SATURDAY UNION TO VOTE TOMORROW ON COMPROMISE SUGGESTED BY LOWDEN. Mahon Urges Offer Be Accepted Governor Considers It Alto- gether Fair. Chicago, July 31. — Chicago's street car and elevated railway strike cannot end before Saturday, in the view of officials of the striking union and of the operating companies today. Hope than it will likely end by midnight Friday was seen in a decision of President W. D. Mahon, of the International Carmen's union, to submit a referendum vote to the striking employees to determine whether they will abide by the will of an admitted minority of so-called radios, who were alleged to have forced the strike on cooler heads within the union. Lowden's Suggestion: Voting will begin at 8 a. m., tomorrow, and will cease at 4 p. m. Decision of the strikers may be announced within a few hours, Mahon said. The proposition of the referendum vote was suggested by Governor Lowden who issued a statement saying he believed the wages and working conditions provided in the compromise fair. "I appeal to every member to realize and appreciate the situation," Mahon wrote in an open letter to the 15,000 striking carmen. "This proposition of a compromise wage of 65 to 67 cents an hour and an eight-hour day, if not accepted by Friday night will leave us with no proposition at all. In my opinion our case will be serious." Mahon Urges Acceptance. Mahon told the men the two most serious objections to the compromise, the clause requiring all runs to be completed in fourteen hours, will be taken up and adjusted by the State Public Utilities commission. New time tables to work under the new running arrangement probably will be supplied, Mahon said. "I want to take this occasion to say that in my opinion the agreement is altogether fair," said Governor Lowden, who suggested the compromise proposal. "It includes the highest fare ever paid street railway men in any large city of this country. "I believe the men we'll best serve their own interests and those of the public by accepting the agreement in their referendum vote." Traffic Improves While officials parleyed, Chicagoans continued to walk or ride in make-shift hacks. Traffic today was much better handled than on any previous day during the strikes. Citizen soldiers, many of them still in uniform, became traffic officers directing the movements of vehicles and pedestrians at every important intersection. BROTHER DANIEL RODGERS Brookport, IL.

Ordinarily it was the policy of headquarters to send troops into a quiet sector at first to acclimate them to the condition of war. This was their first entrance to the front at any place, yet they carried themselves with credit and brought decorations upon their colors. They were in the Argonne until the armistice on November 11th. Then it was back to the Advance Sector about the Saint Maurice district with the Ninth Army Corps. They remained on duty here until May 16th when orders came for entraining to Brest, presumably for embarkation. On March 13th Colonel McGrew was succeeded in command by Colonel M. H. Barry, C. A. C. One of the outstanding features of the organization is their band. While on duty with the Second Army they were called upon to play concerts for practically every unit in that army, and since then have been on detached service, a good share of the time playing in different parts of the A. E. F. The great majority of the men of the 803rd are from Illinois and have a record for exceptionally good conduct and discipline at every point they have been stationed. Sergt.

DESOLATE SCENES Chicago, July 31.—Seared and dilapidated, its inhabitants bandaged and frightened. Chicago's black belt today was calm and orderly after four days and nights of race rioting, which claimed thirty lives and caused injuries to nearly 500 persons. RAIN DROWNS DANGER. Practically all fighting, except occasional outbursts coaxed with the arrival in the negro section of 6,500 soldiers, members of the militia and national guard. Presence of the troops and the fall of a steady rain accounted for a cessation of hostilities that had been an eighty hours' reign of terror for a district covering approximately 15 miles. The rain also served to combat the more than 150 incendiary fires which damaged or destroyed scores of negro homes. Many of the former occupants had abandoned the most dangerous portions of the belt, taking refuge in outlying districts, some even going north to Milwaukee and south to Tennessee and Mississippi, their former homes. DESOLATION IS RESULT. Desolation greeted the occasional visitor who dared penetrate the belt. Windows shattered, doors battered in, bricks and stones strewn about the sidewalks, yards and porches marked dozens of houses raided by white mobs. In many places household furnishings, bed clothes and wearing apparel were pulled out and left in the street. On the cubstones sat lazily and sullenly, scattered knots of negroes talking in subdued tones to each other. When rain fell they were driven to doorways and shelters. The problem of getting food into the district was taken up today by city authorities and civic societies. Provision wagons had not dared enter for three days. Supplies were exhausted and stores were closed. Today police and troops guarded load after load of bread, vegetables and fruits sent to merchants in the heart of the disturbed area. URGE LAW AND ORDER. Church and civic leagues, among the colored people, harangued on street corners and urged negroes not to molest white persons. Law and order, they were told, was the best way to gain redress for wrongs. Burial of the dead in the riots began today. Released by the coroner, bodies were taken to churches in the neighborhood where joint funerals were held. TROOPS IN GUN BATTLE The troops were sent to the nego district last midnight where they were distributed throuout five zones and were given their baptism of fire in a rain of more than 100 shots as soon as they made their appearance. They returned the fire. No casualties have been reported. The downpour also helped to quench the more than 150 fires at various points within the black district, which extends from 31st street to 58th street and for three miles west of the lake. Practically all of the fires were incendiary, police and firemen said. HOSPITALS FILLED. Hospitals throughout the south side, where the negro settlements are located, have been filled to overflowing with wounded of both races. More than five hundred who have been shot and injured by beatings are from the hospitals, police estimated. Several hundred others received treatment at home, it was believed. Additional pleas for order and regular process of the law were issued by public officials and leaders of both races. Mayor Thompson and Gov. Lowden asserted the law must rule and that rioters will be vigorously prosecuted, while negro civic leaders urged their citizens to keep within their homes and desist from molesting whites. P. M. N.

Major or rather Mickey as he is best known to his friends, is the type of soldier that brought the Army as it now stands to its present standard of good, clean fighters. His bearing towards friends is at all times that of a gentleman, but when his anger is aroused against an enemy he is a changed person. Quiet in personality, never loud or rough spoken unless crossed and then positive. While with the 803 Pion. Inf., he was appointed Sergeant of Company "F." and conducted himself as a soldier at all times. He was well thought of by his Commanding Officer as well as the men under him. Since such men as he are returning to civil life we can only expect to see the moral side of our race take an upward tend and leave behind them a reputation that our posterity will be proud of. MRS.

PLAN EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE STATE ASSEMBLY ADJOURNS SINE DIE—LASTS TWENTY- NINE WEEKS. BONUS BILL AND SOLDIER TUITION DUE FOR CONSIDERATION IN FALL. Madison, Wis., July 31.—The 1919 legislature, which has been in session since January eighth, officially ended late yesterday with the senate's concurrence in a joint resolution calling for adjournment since die. The resolution was introduced by Assemblyman P. M. Anderson. WAS LONG SESSION. Members of the assembly, who were on hand to witness the death of the session, were: Anderson and Jordan and Speaker Young In the upper house Senators Skogme, Staudemmayer, Huber and Nye, with Lieut. Governor Dithmar presiding, assisted in the last rites. The session has been in progress 29 weeks, the second longest in the history of the state. Two years ago it lasted 27 weeks. In 1915, the session acquired a record for duration, lasting far into August, totalling 32 weeks. Newlaws enacted into the session just ended numbered 702. Exactly 1,350 bills were introduced, 710 in the assembly and 640 in the senate, and of this number 743 passed both houses and went to the governor for his signature. He vetoed forty measures." DUE IN SEPTEMBER. Prospects for a special session before October 1 are bright. Should the soldier bonus bill be approved by the people at a special election September 2, it is thought the governor may call the solons back to enact legislation for its operation. The matter of free tuition for service men, should investigations now in progress prove its advisability, will require a special session. The governor has promised such action before the opening of the next school year if he is satisfied that there is sufficient merit in the proposal. The session practically closed on July 15 when the last of the bills requiring a quorum in each house was disposed of, but a handful of members has been present each day since then, winding up routine matters. LAND SETTLEMENT VETOED. Declaring the bill unconstitutional in several provisions and a scheme to put the state in the general land settlement business under the guise of a soldier aid measure, Governor Philip vetested the Fletcher land settlement bill. The assembly refused a motion to pass it over his veto. The bill carried an appropriation of $1,000,000 for the biennial period and provided that on application of soldiers out of employment the land settlement board should buy and improve lands to be sold to the soldier or unemployed person on the amortization plan. Interest at the rate of five per cent would be paid on the amount due. State President Wisconsin Progressive Association, who will be in attendance at the Triple Celebration at Milwaukee, Aug. 2-3.

The fire alarm was turned in shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Firemen who made the run were told that boys had started the blaze and succeeded in catching several of the youths. They turned them over to police who released them after a stiff seizure. Both firemen and policemen say that future offenders of this kind will receive more drastic punishment. L. J. OUSLEY, D. G. D.

They are arriving on every train. It is estimated 500 have come here in the last three days. The colored jubilee, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Negro slaves at Jamestown, has been postponed indefinitely. Police, while not anticipating trouble, are taking all precautions since they learned that scores of Negroes had purchased pistols. There is no law prohibiting the sale of firearms in the state. Captain of Detectives John Sullivan scouts the suggestion that something may develop. EX-SOLDIER STEALS $400; IS IN BFLOIT AFTER MAKING HAUL Four years in the French army seems to have made Paul Sage of Bradford, Pennsylvania, fearless. At least he is alleged to have appropriated some $400 of Rockford money and calmly walked about Beloit streets while the owner of the money passed him no less than three times. A warrant for his arrest was issued this morning following the complaint entered by H. A. Baker of the Forest City. According to the story that Baker told the court this morning Sage left Rockford about four weeks ago with an automobile which he was to deliver to William Maher there. Maher, a Beloit man, was working in Janesville at the time, and had ordered the auto from Baker. The plan was for him to give Sage a check for the $400 due when the car was delivered. Right here is where the plan went wrong. Maher handed Sage four $100 bills. Sage is alleged to have broken one of the bills at once and with about forty dollars of the money succeeded in gloriously celebrating the imminent demise of dear old John. Coming to Beloit he was arrested for being intoxicated. He told his army story to Judge Clark who suspended sentence. All the time that Sage was here, Baker was in town, and passed his agent three times in the course of the morning. As soon as the court action was settled, Sage "blew." The warrant was issued when no further word was forthcoming. Baker plans to offer a reward for information of the missing soldier: P. M. V. P. W. WOMACK G. U. O. of O. F. Chicago, Ill.

The girl's relatives, as well as county officials apparently were convinced her death was an accident. Miss Harris was drowned in Pompton Lake Sunday night, when Decker's canoe was swept over a dam. The youth failed to report her death until the next afternoon. Then he said he was lying down in the canoe and resting when the craft went over the dam.

Country Has No Intention Of Making Public Announcement Of Policy. BY A. E. GELDHOP. Washington, D. C. July 31 — I have obtained from the Japanese embassy a statement explaining the attitude of the Mikado's government toward the so-called "Shantung settlement" in the peace treaty, which is now the main stumbling block in the path of ratification of the treaty by the U. S. senate. This statement makes it clear that Japan has no intention of making a public pronouncement of its policy toward the Chinese concessions awarded it under the treaty, either now or later. Both President Wilson and the British government have hinted to Japan that it should make such an announcement. In the absence of the ambassador, Hirota, secretary of the embassy, spoke for his government. "Japan feels that it is unnecessary to make a promise to the alliance to China that she will return the Shantung territory to China," he said, "because it has already made such a promise, and has repeated it many times over. "It was first made in the treaty with China signed in 1915, after Japan had taken possession of Kiaochow by conquest from the Bermans. In this treaty China agreed to recognize any agreement made between German and Japan in the peace treaty relative to the leased territory. "At the same time Japan agreed that, if given absolutely free disposal of the territory, it would return to China in subject to these four conditions. "1. Kiaochow to be opened as a commercial port. "2. Japan to have the right to establish a Japanese settlement in the territory." "3. Establishment, it desired by other nations, of an international settlement. "4. Arrangements to be made between the Chinese and Japanese governments with respect to the German-owned properties in the territory. "To this treaty the Japanese emperor affixed his signature. He is the highest power in the land. What better promise could China ask than that? "Japan will not break her word as given to that treaty. She will return Kiatchew to China, if not in six months, at least within a year, but why should she make a written promise to the American Senate that she will do not? America is after all, only a part of the world—although a very important part. "Baron Makine at Paris already has repeated this promise verbally: Viscount Ishi repeated it before the left America, the foreign minister has repeated it at Tokyo, and my government feels that it is not necessary to repeat it again in writing. Japan has never broken its word. "If the truth were known to the American people the deplorable misunderstanding which has arisen regarding Shantung would disappear. "It has been said that 40,000,000 Chinese people have been turned over to Japan by the treaty. That is far from the truth. Kiaochow is a small part of Shantung province, has an area of about 208 square miles and a population of some 200,000. The art issues center about Kiaochow, and to speak of Kiaochow is not to speak of Shantung. "The treaty of peace provides that Germany shall hand over to Japan within three months all documents relating to the former leasehold of Klaeowch. Until that is done Japan cannot make sure of the records or even of the size of the territory she is granted by the treaty and cannot therefore open negotiations with China in a business-like way. "The fact that China has refused to sign the treaty also complicates the situation China, by so refusing has broken the treaty of 1915, but Japan will not break that treaty. She will carry out her pledges at the earliest possible moment." AGREEMENT OF FIRMS TO CORNER SUPPLIES OF FOOD UNDER FIRE Columbus, Ohio July 31.—Alleged plaintiffs' agreements "permiting produce firms in the big centers of the state to corner perishable foods under fire here today," Ohio prosecutors in conference in the problem of curbing prices and producers. Evidence gathered in various cases indicated that the agreements permitted one firm to control the butter market, another to eliminate the polite market, while theres held away over berries, nuts and other perishable stuffs. Prices on these commodities were and arbitrarily from day to day without regard to the law of supply and demand the prosecutorsarged. Next to the most trust, the most powerful combination is the "fruit trust" one official charge: cases were cited where whole branches of fruits were dumped andmitted to not while abnormal items obtained in the cities.

PRISON DOOR TO OPEN FOR LIFER AFTER 32 YEARS NEGRO WILL BE FREED FROM JOLIET AFTER SERVING RECORD TERM. Will Be Parrolled to Relatives for Life; Victims in Wielding Springfield, Ill., July 31—Within a few days the doors of Joliet prison will open to release Joseph Smith, colored, who has established a new record at the penitentiary for continuous years spent behind the bars. Smith was convicted in Lake county in 1887 for the murder of Shubail Swift. He was sentenced to Joliet for the rest of his natural life. Since going to the prison, Smith has been a model prisoner and made no application for release until several months ago. At that time he was sent with another prisoner to help Frank Sprague, a farmer residing in Lockport township near Joliet, harvest his crop. Sprague took Smith and the other prisoner in to 'inner and while they were eating S.ague noticed a peculiar scar on Smith's left ear and recognized in him the man who had Today's Market. NEW YORK STOCKS. New York, July 31.—Iregular price changes took place at the stock market opening today. A weak tone was underlying. Trading was brisk.

He casked Smith if he was the murderer and the latter readily admitted the fact and expressed his sorrow. Several weeks later Sprague met Smith on the public highway and the latter asked for his assistance in securing his release. Sprague wrote to the division of pardons and parole. The division sent an investigator to Lake county where the murder occurred. The investigator discovered that all sentiment against the murderer has vanished and that at this time there is no objection to his release, the residents taking the position that he has fully atoned for his crime. Consequently in a few days he will be paroled for life to his relatives who are prepared to care for him. When he entered the prison Smith was 24 years old. Today he is 56. Prison records show that the average life of a prisoner sentenced to the penitentiary for life is 6 years and 7 months. Smith therefore has beaten the average approximately five times, which indicates he was in splendid physical condition when incarcerated. He is still hardy, due to employment on the prison farm during the last five years. CHECK UP ILLINOIS RAILROAD MILEAGE Springfield, Ill., July 31 — The new state tax commission, created by the last general assembly to assume the duties of the state board of equalization, is rapidly completing its first job, that of checking up the mileage of the railroads operating in Illinois. The reports of the county clerks of the state will be considered next. Whether or not the state board of equalization intends to fight remains a matter of conjecture. It is reported the board will convene in Springfield the second week in August and proceed with its usual duties. Refusal of the state officials to recognize its powers would result in litigation attacking the act creating the new tax commission. STRIKE OF WHITE WORKMEN AVERTED Washington, July 21.

SEES NO CHANCE FOR GERMANS IN THE ARGENTINE SOUTH AMERICAN MINISTER SAYS GOVERNMENT AGAINST EMIGRATION. Need Co-Operation And Assistance Of All Of Her People In Fatherland. New York, July 31.—Fundamental national principles of the Argentine government will prevent any overwhelming swarm of German emigration to that country, according to Dr. Romulo S. Naon, Argentine minister to the United States. Naon's opinion was set forth in an interview with the New York correspondent of "La Prensa," of Buenos Aires, just before the South American diplomat sailed for home. "I place little credence in the report that the German government will encourage emigration and settlement in Argentina of some five million Germans," said Naon. "The policy of Germany in the matter of emigration was always opposed to propaganda aiming at encouraging nations to leave the country and settle abroad. I don't think such a policy will be modified in moments like the present. Today, more than before, Germany needs the cooperation and the support of her children for the reconstruction of her economic and financial capacity. "But even admitting that the German government or private German corporations cherish such a plan, I think its execution is equally impossible because fundamental reason of national Argentine policy are opposed to it. Argentina cannot admit colonizations favored by foreign governments because this would be highly detrimental to the formation of national sentiment which needs to be fomented especially in countries in process of formation. "Nothing that might even remotely cause the formation of a state within a state, could be viewed differently by the people of Argentine." FAVOR APPOINTMENTS TO SHIPPING BOARD Washington, July 31. Favorable report on the nominations of John Barton Payne, Chicago, and Henry N. Robinson, Los Angeles, to be members of the shipping board was voted by the senate commerce commission today.

It is expected the republican majority of the full committee will reconsider the action of the sub-committee, a opposition to nomination of Payne has been announced.

Action on Matter Foreseen at Annual Meeting of American Chemical Society. Philadelphia, Pa., July 31.—The complete freedom of the chemical industry of the United States from foreign domination is expected to be discussed by Secretary of War Baker in his address to be delivered before the annual meeting of the American Chemical society to be held at the Bellevue-Strafford here, from September 2 to 6. This is expected to be the largest assemblage of chemists ever held in the United States, the membership of the society having increased from 7,170 in 1914 to 13,600 in 1919. More than 5,000 chemists are now at work within two hundred miles of this city and thousands more are in Illinois. Ohio and other states only a few hours journey from here. One of the large delegations, it is believed, will be from California where there has been a tremendous advance in the chemical industry within the last year.

This effect is especially felt by the newly organized dye section of the society. The introduction of a license system would regulate for a limited number of years the importation of dyes, colors and medicinal substances. It was pointed out that Germany's war strength was largely due to the fact that, almost overnight, she could convert her great chemical plants into munion factories. Previous to the war her favorite weapon for attacking the chemical industries of other nations was the "dumping" of the products of these huge plants at less than cost prices, when any rival to her trade appeared. The protection from this "dumping" process will, it is said, make chemistry a mighty factor in the era of reconstruction upon which the country has entered. Thru the research and ingenuity of American chemists new sources of potash upon which farming and many manufacturing industries depend, have been found in the lakes and rocks of the United States and in the kelp fields of the Pacific coast. Before the war Germany was able, virtually, to control the potash trade of the world because under much of her territory are soluble ores from which potash is extracted at slight expense.

SAY GENERAL UNREST CAUSED RACE RIOTS Milwaukee, Wis., July 31.—Race riots in Chicago and Washington were the result of general feeling of unrest, said Rev. J. S. Woods, colored pastor here today. "These lamentable disorders are confined to the vicious and lawless classes. The better people of both races have nothing to do with the troubles. High prices and relatively low wages are also responsible. If the dollar were worth more all these disorders and the general dissatisfaction would stop." On the eve of June 21 at the residence of Rev. A. W. Herrin, Mrs. Francis Jones and Judge Mercher were united in marriage by the Rev. Herrin. Mr. Mercher left at once for New York City and Mrs. Mercher will join later. Hety George H. DeReef was in Deloitte on business last week.

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN SAYS HISTORY OF IRELAND IS GLORY OF RACE SAYS HISTORY OF IRELAND IS GLORY OF RACE PROFESSOR ROHAN DECLARES COUNTRY IS NOT A CONQUERED NATION. Professor Michael G. Rohan, of Marquette University, won the undivided attention of a large audience at the college chapel last night, in the delivery of a masterful address on the history and people of the Emerald Isle, and in his exposition of many beautiful slides showing the natural scenery of the country. Sings Irish Songs. Irish songs sung by Miss Elizabeth Carroll, "A Little Bit of Heaven," which received an encore, and "When Ireland Comes Into Her Own," delighted the audience. Miss Alice Monahan was accompanist. Professor Rohan is the possessor of the proverbial Irish wit, and not the least entertaining parts of his address were the flashes of humor interpersed throughout his talk. "Ireland," said Professor Rohan, "is the island of saints and seabolars, famous for its hospitality. Of course, you all know it is a part of the British empire, but perhaps you do not know that England is the richest country of the empire, while Ireland is the poorest. Her vast water power is not used, her harbors are empty, she is most heavily taxed, possesses only a few limited factories, and her inhabitants have only one means of living—agriculture." Farming Conditions Improved. "But farming conditions are now improved, and with political freedom from the landlords gained recently, Ireland, owing to the indomitable martial spirit of her people, is still a nation, for the reason that her people have never lowered the flag of Erin." The speaker declared that one of the great problems confronting leaders of the country was restriction of emigration. He pointed out that the press and clergy had won a fight for temperance, and were now working to raise the population of the country from four and one-half million to nine million. Nation Never Submitted. "The history of Ireland is the glory of her race," said Professor Rohan. "Her people remember the historic associations of the past, and look forward hopefully to the future. England never conquered Ireland, because a conquered nation submits, and Ireland never submitted. She is still fighting and will continue to do so." Professor Rohan refuted the charge that the move for Irish freedom was engineered solely by Catholics by giving the names of men prominent in Irish history who were Protestants. Beautiful colored slides depicting the artistic natural scenery of the country were thrown on the screen after Professor Rohan finished his main address. Most of the slides were made from pictures taken by the professor on numerous trips thru the country. Pictures of historic and artistic interest shown were those of Irish patriots; the vale of Clara, County Wicklow; the library at Trinity college, Dublin; the cathedral and harbor at Queenstown; Killarney; Lismore Castle, 1,800 years old and still in a state of perfect preservation; Blarney Castle, Cork; Tippieray; Dublin Bay, the castle of Derry; the treaty-stone at Limerick; and the Giant's Causeway. TRADE BODY DENIES PLAN TO PROSECUTE U. S. PACKERS ABROAD Washington, July 31.—The federal trade commission today officially denied that it had been in communication with officials of the British government with regard to prosecution of American meat packers in England. This dental was in the form of a communication to the senate in response to a resolution by Senator Sherman directing the commission to make known what correspondence it has had with the British government regarding export trade in meat. The report, incidentally, disclosed alleged details of the operation or the great American packers in foreign countries, especially in Great Britain. An attempt to prevent immediate publicity for the report was made. Senator Cummins, Iowa suggested it be referred to the interstate commerce committee without reading. Senator Kenyon, Iowa, demanded it be read and Senators Pomerone and Lafollette supported Kenyon. Later Senator Calder, New York, asked unanimous consent to suspend the erading of the report. Objection by Senator Lafollette prevented this second attempt. Mrs. D.H. Pollock Resigns as Head Of Federation Mrs. D. H. Pollock, president of the Beloit Federation of Women, has tendered her resignation to that organization. Removal to Madison for permanent residence obligates the step Mrs. W. J. Buchanan, vice-president of the federation, called a special board meeting yesterday afternoon, when Mrs. Pollock's letter of resignation was presented, and the business of appointing her successor was discussed. A nominating committee composed of Miss Margaret Goodwin, chairman, Mrs. C. W. Merriman and Mrs. L. Roadhouse was appointed, who are to report at another called meeting next Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock at Beloit Center. Mrs. Pollock's resignation is particularly unfortunate at this time as the Beloit Federation is to sponsor the annual state convention of the Wisconsin Federation of Women in Beloit on October 21, 22. Considerable organization work will fail or the president in planning for the convention and Mrs. Pollock was shortly expecting a visit from Mrs. H. S. Richards, state federation head, to work out some of the details of the big meeting. Her successor must therefore be appointed before that time. Mrs. Pollock has lived in Beloit for eleven years coming here from Milwaukee. She has always been an active club woman, with excellent executive ability. On the resignation of Mrs. A. H.

BLADELETS. Re maniy men; the hour demands it, TEST PILOT REAGHES NEW ALTITUDE MARK: GOLD CHILLS MOTOR TEPURAL LAW FOR LYACHERS. A remarkable editorial ariicle apperred the other day in one of the ablest of southern nswepapers, The Houston Post. The subject was lynch law and the oc- casion was the burning of a negro named Bragg Wil- Hams at Hillsboro, Tesas, The Post dismisses as of light consideration all proposals either to punish the lynchers or to mulet the community in damages, a is proposed by a bill pending before the Texas legisla- ture. It says “The Post believes, however, that the halt-century- old lynching problem is about to pass from the juris- diction of state authority into the domain of federal action. Surely, in the light of a halt century of lynch- ing, in which the victims have numbered thousands, the failure of the states must be confessed. * * * The failure has been shamefully complete, and when the federal government shall essay this task of sup- pressing anarchy and dealing with thoce who vet at naught the laws of the country and set themselves Up as judge, jury and executioner, no state which has 4 bloody record of mob law staining its escutcheon will have any right to protert."* Coming from a southern newspaper, especially one Like The Post, this is noteworthy. About its prem- ises there can be no dispute, The states have in truth failed to suppress Iynching, and this applies to north- ern states as well as southern ones. It is true that in ome instances law officers in northern states have shown more vigor in following up the crime than in ‘outhern states, but in the majority of cases little distinction has been observable. Now and then some unusually determined officer like Governor Stanley’ ot Kentucky han been able to prevent a lynching by a display of great energy and personal courage. But cases like this may almost be counted on one’s fingers, while the unprevented and unpunished lynchings are uncounted and uncountable. ‘The crime of lynching has been more prevalent in the south than in the north, and for that reason north- ern imen would be slow to propose any suck remedy as this southern newspaper does. The grave objec- tions to such an extension of federal power are ob- vious, But when the proposal comes trom so dignified and important an organ of opinion it shows that the wish and purpose to put an end to lynching are a force to be reckoned with. It cannot be that The Post speaks for itvelf alone. Other southerners undoubtede 1> hold the came view. The north, we think. will be disposed to etand aside and iet the south take the lead in suggesting remedies for what is not alone a |southern but a national evil, and it will give weight to the conclusion of the Houston newspaper that “fed. eral action would be less hampered in dealing with the peculiar difficulties surrounding mob violence than state processos have been.”"—New York Times, ‘The evident purpose of some of our hyphenated Americans is to reward the Negro soldier with an em- phatic imposition upon him of every old usage, cus- fom, embarrassment, slight, or tnoult possible in an effort to prevent the Negro from “getting the big head."—Pittsburgh Courier, Dr RR. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. te wrongs, most ascurediy wrong, when he says: “Pei sonaily, 1 do not believe that the majority of the white people of the South are in favor of terroriam or any form of mob violence.” He is absolutely correct, how- ever, when he says: “It appears to me therefore that now {s the time for calm counsel on the part of the leaders of both races to see that the Yest sentiment of the South prevaits."—Texas Freeman. “The most vexatious element of the entire negro race problem seems to be the ghost of social equality which bobs up every time the word negro is men- tioned. ‘This, however, 18 an issue by itself. Social equality is ne mere a matter of legislation than is Intellectual equality. To accord the Negro his politi. cal, educational and religtous privileges is the sacred conetitutional duty of the American people, tut this does not involve the question of social relationship. One ts not a social equal because he ts a white man Taste, culture, affinity and environment are the things that determine social equality, If either the Negro or the white man prefers to accord to his own ‘ace superiority and priority, that ts his privilege so ong 4 he does not interfere with the right accorded to others by the constitution —stockton (Calif) Record Much can he done throuch conference and wide Publicity to awaken the public conscience in regard to lynching.

One was an official looking envelope, while the other was a square one addressed in a lady's angular handwriting. She stood beside him while he opened the official-looking one with a tiberaion. "Hum," he said, "this is the water bill. It seems mighty high to me, too, considering how little water I drink. I think it is an outrage the way they charge for water when all the rivers and creeks in the country are just full of it." He put the other envelope in his pocket with a grim and started 'round the room whistling and looking at the pictures. When he had reached the window he pretended to look out, and, taking the letter from his pocket he held it so his body was between Imogene and the letter, and opened it. A card fell out of it to the floor, and he stooped hastily and picked it up. "I suppose you think that is funny," she said said sarcastically. "No," replied Andrew, "just unfortunate. I have always told her not to write me here at the house." "You certainly show very little respect for my intelligence!" said Imogene. "I know that no woman sent you that letter and I also know that you have every right to be ashamed of it. I saw that card which fell on the floor and it has 'Acme Club' on it. You should hide your head with shame. You belong to everything on earth except the Johnadabs and the Daughters of the American Revolution. "The money which you pay out in lodge and club dues would support a small family in ease and comfort, yet you allow me to go to the theatre in clothes which have been out of style since women wear waterfalls and bustles. "You spend your money on these men's clubs and lodges and their banquets and high jinks and let me sit at home alone till 12 and 1 oclock and darn my stockings until the feet are handmade by me with none of the original foot in them at all. "You contribute for flowers for dead lodge brothers in chunks of $5 and $10, and when I want a new hat you expect me to take a bird of paradise which has been moulting for three years and a willow plume which has lost its will, and make them over into a French confection which will make me look like a prima donna on a first night. "You put $10 in the hat when they take up a collection for the waiters and porters of one of your clubs at Christmas time and then when I want a new evening coat you throw up your hands in holy horror. "You object if I want a new walking skirt once in a while, and yet you go to a lodge banquet which costs $10 a plate and leave me home half the afternoon working and toiling with a hot iron pressing your clothes so they will wear you longer and make you look better. "Enough of anything is enough, and I think you are in entirely too many clubs and lodges and I think this Acme Club is the last straw which has broken the camel's back." "Dearie," said Andrew, "I don't like to hear you call yourself a camel and if you don't want me to I will not join this club. I haven't put up any money yet." He took the card out of his pocket and laid it on her lap. It read, "Acme Club. Gent's suits called for pressed and returned the same day, six pairs of trousers a week for $1."

Box 539 P. 0. Box 2331 THE STORY LADY Tells Children This Evening About. Peter- SHOWS "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS" Be Sure and Read Tomorrow's Story. Peter and his grandmother and Aunt Graco were sitting on the porch. "Ain't it funny," said Peter, "when I first come here I wasn't a bit homesick. And then first think I knew I was, and I like to have died. But now I aint a bit. I feel like I always lived here. "Mebble it would be somethin' awful if I had another spell. But I aint a gain' to. I guess I could stay here forever.

There senteny is, sed the man with the bald hed, and pop sed.

Meening me, and everybody erround laffed, and a man with short legs and long hair came out and sang in a forrin langwidge, and pop took his hat frum under his sect, saying, Ennuff of this, lets go. Recipes BY BIDDY BYL. Now is the season when we realize full well why everything beautiful delicious, or desirable is so often described as "a peach." Peaches are the fruit garden's triumph, and seldom has the crop been more generous or better flavored than this season. After the family has consumed as many plain, sliced peaches as they can—though it is doubtful if anyone ever reaches that state—try some of these more complicated peach desserts. Chilled Peach Soup. Pare, stone and chop ripe peaches. Sprinkle with 1 cupful of sugar and let stand an hour. Cover the chopped peaches with a pint of grape juice or claret, allowing pint for pint, and place all peaches in a bowl, covered with chopped ice, for one hour. Serve with shaved ice in glasses. BY BIDDY BYE. Hair Grower asked Aunt Grace. Peter leaned lazily back in his chair. "I aint a sayin.'" Just then a "honk-honk" sounded and a long gray car closely followed by a shiny black one whirled around a bend in the road and came to an abrupt standstill in front of grandma's gate. Peter and Aunt Grace may have been running a race and if they were Peter was the winner. For long before Aunt Grace got to the gray car Peter was in his mother's arms. Helen Carpenter Moore. Peach Moons. Make a sweetened short-cake dough and add 2 beaten eggs. Roll out the dough 1-2 inch thick and cut into large biscuits. Drop on each 1 spoonful of fresh, chopped peaches, and fold over, into half-circles. Press the edges together, brush with melted butter and bake. **Peach Pan Dowdy.** Pare and slice ripe peaches and fill a baking dish, sprinkling the fruit with sugar, butter dots, and cinnamon. Cover the top with a thick pastry crust of light texture and bake. Serve with chilled, sweetened cream. **Peach Custard.** Pare very large peaches, cut a slice off the top, remove the seeds and fill the center with chopped raisins and nuts. Sprinkle the tops with sugar and powdered cinnamon. Make a custard by mixing 1 cupful of sugar with 1 cupful of flour and 3 eggs, beaten light. Cook the custard, cool and pour over the peaches, and serve chilled. Peach Souffle. Peel and rub 8 large peaches through a sieve and stir into them 1 cupful of powdered sugar and the beaten yolks of 3 eggs. Beat and whip the fruit and eggs for 8 minutes. Set aside until the whites of 4 eggs are beaten stiff, then carefully into the peach, eggs mixture, turn into a greased baking dish, sprinkle with sugar and bake in a quick oven for 5 minutes.
