NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE
AT ST. LOUIS—BIG
PROGRAM ARRANGED
St. Louis, Mo., August 7.—One of the important features of the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League will be a discussion. "A Reconstruction and Readjustment Symposium—The Negro's Relation Thereto," in which national leaders of thought will participate. The subjects of labor, health, business and related questions and problems will be dealt with at length. It is hoped that a sympathetic Southerner of national repute will also be present to speak on this occasion. Addresses will also be delivered by Mr. William D'Arcy, president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America; Mr. Allen W. Clark, chairman of the Clean-Up and Paint-Up Bureau, with headquarters at St. Louis, and Col. Otis B. Duncan of the famous Eighth Illinois Regiment. The official announcement of entertainments for the league include a visit to the Anheuser-Busch Bevo plant, a special entertainment at the Booker T. Washington Theatre and an industrial and fraternal parade, showing the achievements of the Negroes of St. Louis and the Middle West. The Eighth Illinois Regiment Band will furnish music for the reception and banquet, which will be held Friday evening, August 15, at the Coliseum.
It will thus be seen that the local Negro Business League of St. Louis is making full and complete arrangements not only for the business meeting of the league, but also for the entertainment of the delegates and of the friends. The meeting begins August 13.

RULE OF U. S. RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION PREVENTING THE SALE OF PREPAID TICKETS FROM POINTS SOUTH NO LONGER IN EFFECT.
For some weeks the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, both through its New York headquarters and thru its Cleveland Branch, of which Mr. Harry E. Davis is chairman of the Legal Committee, has been carrying on correspondence with the United States Railroad Administration in regard to the refusal of their offices to sell prepaid tickets from points South.
The matter was first brought to the attention of the Association when the United States Railway ticket office at Cleveland, Ohio, refused to sell to the Rev. H. B. Bailey, pastor of the Antioch Baptist church of that city, a ticket from Madison, Ala., to Cleveland, which Mr. Bailey desired to send to his daughter, Mrs. Lottie Beadle. The clerk refused to sell Mr. Bailey the ticket saying that an order had been issued by the Director. General against such practice on the ground that it was "encouraging isbor to come North."
A letter of inquiry was sent from National Headquarters to Director General Hines, and at the same time Mr. Davis, Chairman of the Legal Committee, of the Cleveland Branch, wrote Senator Warren G. Harding and Congressman H. I. Emerson regarding the matter.
Through the combined efforts of the National Office, the Clea and Branch, Mr. Harding and Mr. Emerson, the rule has been abrogated and beginning August 1, prepaid tickets can be obtained from any ticket office.
Following is a copy of a letter from Mr. Davis: Mr. John R. Shillady, Secretary. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dear Sir: I have just been advised by Senator Harding that the rule regarding the sale of prepaid tickets from points South, which has been in force for some time, has been abrogated by the U. S. Railroad Administration. Effective: August 1st, 1919.
Very truly,

Chairman Legal Committee,

Big Program for Norfolk, Va.—
Meeting Opens Sept. 10, 1919.
Evanston, Ill., July 21, 1919.—To the churches, conventions, associations, pastors and friends; you are hereby notified that the National Baptist Convention of the U. S. A., will convene at Norfolk Va. Wednesday, September 10, 1919, at 10:00 a.m.
Drs. C. P. Madison, R. H. Bowling, and the other members of the Committee, in fact, the entire city are determined in perfecting every arrangement to make your stay hospitable and cordial, and it is well here to remember that the eyes of the world will be centered upon our activities and accomplishments at this the 39th annual session.
Educational Board.
Your Theological Seminary and Training School at Nashville, the one accomplishment in which our every interest centers is either a realization or a failure: Which? May I ask of you. You are the final arbiters. Come to Norfolk and answer as chosen men. $25,000 is the need. It can be raised if you will do your duty. See that the church and each auxiliary aids in the effort. The only hope of the denomination is in your hands and unless we would surrender that for which we have striven these past fifty years, it is vitally necessary that renewed endeavor mark our actions. Each church can give $100. Each Sunday school $10.00.
Let us thank God that He has given to us these wonderful opportunities and that our National convention stands alone in its humble efforts to formulate ideals vouchsafing "Self Help and Life." The Indian as a Race has gone down with the sun to rise no more for want of hope and so I plead that you come to Norfolk and there assist in putting over a programme to the glory of God and His Kingdom.
Jones Asks Morris To Join.
Evanston, Ill.: One of the first acts of President Jones of the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated), after getting a special wire from Dr. Boyd of Nashville, about the law suit, was to at once notify Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., of Helena, Ark., the former president of the National Baptist Convention, that he and his followers would be welcomed back into the ranks of the Baptist family in full fellowship if they would but come, as it were, and acknowledge their wrongs. "We believe in the forgiveness of sin; God forgives us and we should forgive our brother," declared President Jones in sending out this broad-cast invitation. He not only sent one to President Morris, but to Secretary R. B. Hudson of Selma, Ala., and to the officials of the Convention. At the same time he issued the call for Baptists of the country.
It is not known whether President Morris will accept this invitation and come to Norfolk or not, but already Dr. Jones is being assured of an overwhelming attendance, and since the recent two decisions, one coming so fast upon the heels of the other, sustaining the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) and giving victory to President Jones and his convention, and then the National Baptist Publishing Board of which Dr. R. H. Boyd is the secretary, they have doubled up and Baptists everywhere according to President Jones, are flocking to the standard-bearers, the original Baptist Convention and the original National Baptist Publishing Board. Some of the leaders up this way are predicting that there will hardly be room for the influx of Baptists at Norfolk.
It is also understood that President Jones has asked Dr. Morris for an immediate reply; so before the middle of August it will be known definitely whether President Jones' invitation has been accepted and whether Dr. Morris will come to Norfolk.
NO ARMS FOR BLACKS
Pittsburgh, Aug. 7. — Alarmed by the armed negro menace, police ordered orders today to pawn shops and other places to stop the sale of firearms and ammunition to blacks. During the last 24 hours more than a score of negroes have been arrested for carrying fire arms and acting suspiciously. The negroes declared they were "just getting prepared."

MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY AUGUST 7, 1919.
Chicago Goes Wild Whites and Blacks Clash Many Lives Lost in Riot-
Another dark heavy cloud hangs over the heads of the Chicago people, and in order to clear themselves of this disgrace they must demand of the proper authorities that in ferreting out the guilty parties of this crime, no partiality will be shown—be they white or black and to avoid future disturbances of this kind the guilty parties must be dealt with severely.
Most fair minded people have felt that the part the colored people have taken in the war has entitled them to at least just treatment on the part of the whites. For those who question this—I want to call attention to this fact;—When the call came to fight for our country, the line was not drawn on the colored boy and when his number in the draft was called he took his place willingly in the line with the other boys to help save his and your country. Will you now deny him after doing his part the right to live peacefully in it?
In Order to Show No Distinction
I shall agree to draw up contract in black and white, offering to build cottages on certain vacant lots in the city and agree to sell them with a small payment down.
To the first colored purchaser I shall offer to donate one hundred dollars for the colored church of this city.

The following letter reached our office shortly after the start of the horrible Race Riot in Chicago and clearly shows the attitude of the well minded people of our Race. Chicago, Ill. July 31, 1899. Dear Editor: As I look and see men and women shooting, cutting and in many other ways disgracing the country and city that for years has been the foremost in the hospitality shown our people. I am forced to wonder and stand amazed to think it should ever come to pass that men have lost their civilization to the extent that they kill proisitously without reason fellow men who have committed no greater crime than to be born black. Men are being taken from their places of business and beaten and sometimes killed like dogs. It brings to my mind the thought that "man is standing on sinking sand."
Some say let the law take its
course. Yes, that is the only reasonable course to take but when dealing with a lawless set of people of what good is the law? The only way to cope with the situation is to let it run itself out and then appeal to the Whites and Blacks alike and co-operate and come to peaceable terms. Our people have come here for industrial equality and have attained the same, but the White man thinks that they want social equality. If our so-called leaders fail to see things in this light or if they advocate any other policy they are not truly representing the principles that we expect of them and consequently they should not expect us to further stand behind them and we should seek leaders who will represent us as we really are, law-abiding citizens who believe in procuring only that for which we prove ourselves fit.
So I say to you preach the spirit of seeing that you are right and then forward march. Stop agitating or rather I should say stop others from agitating for I have never known you or your paper to agitate anything detrimental to the good of our people. But this I say to you be a peacemaker and accomplish and render all the good that you can for our people.

THINK DEMPSEY WOULD FAIR WELL TO STAY IN U.S.
WILL BE FLYING IN FACE OF
FATE OR BE AGREED TO
FIGHT IN LONDON.
American Champions Who Have
Entered Bouts Airlift Have
to Grief.
( F. H. C. HAMULTON.)
New York, Aug. 3 — It lacks Dempsey agrees to go to London to fight Joe Beckett or Georges Carpentier. He will be flying in the face of fate and part history of American boxers.
The American 'light follower' is jealous of his country's reputation as a producer of champions and will sing loud and jong of Dempsey allows himself to be laughed abound before defending his title in this country.
It seems improbable that Jack Hearns, who has showed to much mature business sense in guiding Dempsey to the world's championships, will now walk blindly into the pitfall where so many Americans lose
The average American sports follower takes defeat with victory and generally upshots up about it. He is not the king who erases a loss, but he is unable just now to erase from his memory the defeat of Willie Lattich by Freddie Welsh the defeat of Joe Lynne by Jimmy Wide, the victory of Willie over Fat Moore, and the feat of Georges Carpenter in winning from Gumbot Smith, although he had been knocked out to all intents and purposes by the American heavyweight.
There must be some queer twist to English rules that bookers on this side of the water cannot fathom. What it is no one yet has been able to figure out. Fugene Carr gave a world's championship to Freddie Welsh, although Willie Ritchie chased the Welst man all over the twenty-four foot ring they fought in and scored heavily numerous times.
Cord also gave Wilde a decision over Pal Moore, allying England's national little man was practically exhausted and was bleeding freely from the punishment bestowed on him by the American. He said Moore had fouled and thus lost the decision. He should have disqualified the American if there was noiling. With this history to gaze upon Jack Dempsey could do well to do his title-defending on this side of the ocean. New Jersey would like to see Beckett or Carpenter in action against the champion and would pay Keeney to assist on the going staged in this country. Dempsey is champion and has the privilege of naming the site for a championship encounter. He will cook no mistake if he exercises
CHINA IS NOT ALIENATED BY SHANTUNG DEAL
CHINESE PEOPLE SAY WILSON
DID BEST HE COULD UNDER
CHIRCUMSTANCES.
Says Only Chance For Escape From
Japanese Rule Is Thru Inter-
national Control.
BY JACK NEVILLE.
San Francisco, A.J. — The chanting award to Japan has not alienated the long-standing and firm friendship of China for the United States, contrary to the general impression in America.
"The Chinese people and most of the officials do not charge President Wilson and the American peace delegation with laxity in considering Celestial interests at the concert of nations."
This is the word just brought out of China by Paul M. Hinklehouse instructor at the Chunga University maintained by Nate university, and trained observer who has spent years in the Orient.
Hinklehouse explains it thus: "A negotiation with the groom takes place in the Paris conference to a poker game. William they said did the next game with the cards he hold. But they were tracked against him."
"We feel very sorry for President Wilson—that seems the general sentiment of the Chinese to whom I talked. These representatives open the shouting grate at the noise of their own militaristic harassment."
"National executive authority in China commits a treason, has little will without cause," the wail of taking. The real colors are the country's colors who have in many times written the power of the
accounts in Japanese institutions in both China and Japan.
"At present I believe China has but one way to escape Japanese domination. That is, by international control. This is far superior to Japanization and I believe educated Chinese see it as the best emergency treatment in a dangerous predicament.
"There is no doubt that Japanese militarists are bent on Japanizing western Asia. But the talk of Japan during concessions in Mexico is terrifying. Mexico is too far removed, and Japan at present, is unable to defend such territory. Also Japan is unable, industrially, to support a foreign war of long duration. The eyes of the militarists are upon territory in close proximity to home China, Manchuria, Siberia. Such domination would give her an almost compact, centralized empire, easily defended and paving the way toward western Europe.
considerable part in their own government. There are no Korean language schools, and the lands of south Korea have already passed into Japanese ownership through the aid of sanitary laws. With tile factories in the hands of Japanese, the Koreans were ordered to place roofs on their dwellings. High prices and high taxes forbade. Result—Koreans forced to sell their land and homes to Japanese.
"Few Koreans attend, any save
"The Japanese control of Korea
has been deadly to Koreans. The
people have been excluded from any
missionary schools. The scarcity of
these has left most Korea uneducated.
Also Koreans, not permitted by
Korean to hold offices of import-
ance, are in no hurry to over-educate
themselves. The acquisition of
real education puts a Korean out of
a job. The success of the Japani-
sian policy in Korea means the
unification of the Korean people."
Hinkhouse was a student of political economy at Yale; later he lived in Egypt where he studied the colonial policy of Great Britain.
His observations in Korea have
led to the conclusion that Japan
is a century behind Britain in colo-

behind Germany.
5-CENT LOAF OF BREAD IS SOLONS'AIM
ONGRESS CONSIDERS U. S
SELLING WHEAT AT MARK-
KET PRICE.
MAY BUY FLOUR
PROPOSAL IS FOR GOVERNMENT TO SELL AT REDUCTION AND STAND LOSS.
Washington, Aug. 2.—Cheaper bread may be one of the results of the present governmental efforts to reduce the high cost of living.
Whether the five-cent loaf will be put into the market basket is a question on which officials are at variance, but they agree that if the government allows wheat to sell at the market price instead of the $2.25 guarantee, a considerable drop in the price of bread will result.
The price of wheat is one of the things being considered by a committee of cabinet and other high officials who are tackling the living cost problem.
U. S. SALE AT LOSS
The proposal is for the government to take over the flour supply of the country at a nominal profit to the millers and sell it back to the public at a loss.
Officials state with the price remaining at $2.26 a bushel, flour can be bought fairly by the government as $5 a barrel after making allowances for all by products and a fair profit to the millers.
In turn the government would sell the flour to the public for $6, absoaching a loss of $2 a barrel.
The total domestic needs for the year are about 250,000,000 barrels, which would require the expenditure of just half the guarantee fund $1,000,000,000 provided by con-
THEN USE SURPLUS
Thus the farmer would get the guaranteed price for his wheat, peas, would be assured of cheaper and the half of the billion lars that are spent would be used reducing prices instead of merelyoping up the price of wheat to the farmer.
Nearly all food prices are affected wheat and officials believe lower and prices would bring down any other articles. Care would be given that the plan was carried out to event any profiteering after the government had reduced the price flour.
50 TELL GRAND JURY ABOUT LIVING COSTS
Cleveland, O. Aug. 5 — A comprehensive investigation into the highest of living was launched today by fifty men, engaged in every business from selling eggs to dry planting, were summoned to testify before a special grand jury.
In addition to the testimony of the business men, County Presenteror will present to the grand jury evidence gathered in secret by ladies from food produce, milkmen, merchandists and consumers, Presenteror said he had sample evidence combinations to manipulate fooduffs for the purpose of keeping up business.
Presenterors were the first ones summoned today. Presenteror said they an hour will be devoted to try the balance of the witnesses, said, will be asked to testify on food and meat profiteering. Presenteror said he planned to summon several additional witnesses.
SAYS LEAGUE RESERVATIONS ARE POSSIBLE
TAFT MAKES PLEA FOR ACCEPTANCE OF GENERAL IDEA OF COVENANT.
Explains Purpose of Fact in Desire of People to do Away With War.
After making a strong plea for acceptance of the general idea of the League of Nations, in which he pointed out that the sovereignty of this country would be impaired by the document no more than that of other great powers, former president William Howard Taft, admitted that reservations to the pact could be made by this country when he addressed a large audience at the Delavan Chautauqua yesterday afternoon.
Large Crowd Gathers.
Large Crowd Gathers.
More than a thousand persons gathered in a huge tent to hear the former president speak. Mr. Taft spoke for one and three-quarters hours. Large numbers of Beloit citizens and a big delegation from South Beloit, attended.
The former president commenced his address by explaining the general purpose of the league. He did not take up each point of the pact in detail, but explained that the general origin of the league was a desire of the people to do away with war.
Compares to U. S. Formation.
Mr. Taft explained how the United States was formed by a union of separate states under one constitution. He drew an analogy for the future success of the pact from the fact that this country held together in spite of bickering and discreme-ments by the separate states.
In speaking of the objections to the covenant, Taft explained in detail the famous Article X. "Before discussing this article," said Taft, "we must understand what external aggression is. For instance the case of Ireland is often cited as an example of a country which we would have to fight in case that country wished to revolt against England. But we must remember that such an issue would be a case of internal revolution, far removed from anything like external aggression."
Says is Constitutional.
"The claim the pact is unconstitutional is absurd," said Taft. There is nothing in the constitution about such a pact, and it therefore can not be unconstitutional."
Tatt declared that reservations to the past were possible, and that if they would protect this country, they could be made. He emphasized the fact that the covenant was only temporary in its present form, and would only receive a trial for two years.
MAY FORM AGENCY TO CONTROL PRICES
London, Aug. 5.—The purchasing and control of food supplies by an international agency, as a means of preventing further price advances in all parts of the world, had been practically agreed upon today, pending assurance from America that she will not operate in the movement.
Proposals with this end in view were receiving further consideration from the supreme economic council which declared that increases in cost in the past thirty days had been unjustified. Solution of the problem would be accomplished by a revival of the international organization which existed during the war.
The Allied delegates named a committee which will formulate the plan and present it to the United States for approval.
PACKERS WILL NOT RE-EMPLOY NEGROES
Chicago, Aug. 4 — Packers here today had decided that no negroes will be re-employed at the stockyards for an indefinite period following race troubles and fires. The decision was identified with that reached by Gox. Lowden and military authorities who had said they believed the colored workers should be barred until race hatred had abated.
More than 10,000 negroes had been employed at the packing houses. Their importation here from southern states was that to have precipitated the riots here last week that claimed 35 lives and caused injury to several hundred.
Frank Jacob, white, a painter, today confessed to police he set fire to several negro houses yesterday, adding a dozen new blazes to those which on Saturday destroyed nearly 100 houses of foreigners employed at the stockyards, and which were that to have been set either by negroes or labor activists.

BASLE REPORTS FOOD STRIKE STATIONARY
Berne, Aug. 3.—(Delayed)—The food strike situation at Basle was stationary today, according to advice received here by the federal council. Disorders at Zurich were on the decline.
Officials of the Swiss socialists announcing their program for a reduction in living costs, said they would demand immediate lowering of food prices, confiscation of stocks, shoes, dress materials and similar necessities, prohibition of further advances in the price of milk and state control over exports and imports.
Steps to prevent profiteering by real estate owners and immediate solution of the housing problem also were demanded.
COAL FAMINE DANGER SEEN BY SENATORS
FUEL SITUATION SERIOUS
CLOSELY LINKED WITH
RAIL PROBLEM.
Companies Complain They Can't
Gear—Fear Winter Will
Bring Suicides.
BY L. C. MARTIN
Washington, Aug. 5. — Danger of a coal ramine added itself today to the complications congress faces in the railroad and high cost of living problems. While the senate agriculture committee met to take up the food problem in a general way and the interstate commerce committee considers the railroad wage question, senators were seeking some way to get the coal difficulty solved before approach of winter makes it acute. Must Be Settled Soon. That the fuel question is rapidly becoming grave was the question of Senators Hitchcock and Pomerence, who were pained out that it is closely linked with the railroad situation and has such a direct bearing on the cost of living, that it trust, if possible, be settled before autumn.
"Goal men in Ohio and West Virginia have informed me," said Pompeo, "that they cannot get cars. One man wrote that the entire out of his mines for this year has been contracted for, that he has plenty of labor, but that he is unable to get cars.
"If this situation doesn't change miners will be out of work and next winter mills will shut down business will stagnate and terrible suffering will result.
"I know of one coal company in West Virginia which right now is unable to supply railroad coal it has contracted to sell in New England because it cannot get cars."

H. H. Underwood, a British subject and a resident of Seoul, Korea, arrived on the scene while the ruins were still smoking. He saw the bodies of some of the victims and was able to photograph them. These pictures were given to the British consul who laid them before the governor general of Korea along with a full report of the massacre. Fifteen villages in all, the majority of them Christian centers, had suffered the same fate as Cheamni. The homes and the male members of the families professing the white man's religion were destroyed. There had been no violent demonstrations on behalf of independence, the evidence showed. In a few places the people waved flags and cried "mansei." Korean for "hurrah," but they had no arms of any kind or means of getting them.
The foreign residents of Korea were so aroused over the latest atrocities that they made special excursions to acquaint themselves with the details, and on the steamer on which I returned to America there were several missionaries and English and American business men who were traveling to the United States to make personal reports in Washington.
"One student showed me his injuries," said a returning missionary. "He had been arrested by the police and they were attempting to force him to tell who the leaders of the independent movement were. One of their torture methods was an upright press which operated with a screw from the back. As this was tightened all four sides closed in, he could not give them the information they wanted, a cord was tied around the middle finger of his

I.W.W.NOT BLAMED FOR BOMB PLOT
OFFICIALS IN LOS ANGELES
SAY ATTORNEY LAWLER HAD
MANY ENEMIES.
H O M E WRECKED
THREATENING LETTERS MAY FURNISH CLEW-OFFER REWARD FOR ARREST.
Los Angeles, Aug. 4.—Police detectives said today they did not believe the bombing of the residence of Attorney Oscar W. Lawler, yesterday morning, was the work of Bolshevists, I. W. W., or other radicals.
BIG REWARDS OFFERED.
They said they based this belief on the fact that Lawler had in the past received many threatening letters and had been involved in many bitter cases which, they felt, would not furnish a definite clew. A total of $6,500 in rewards was offered by private parties and organizations for the arrest of the dynamiter today, and the city council will be asked to add $1,000 to that amount. It was expected the reward would reach $10,000 by night.
Lawler, former United States district attorney for southern California, is undergoing the heroic "paraffin treatment" for the severe burns he received. The skin is burned off more than half of his body, including his back, arms and head. The "paraffin treatment" originated for soldiers burned by liquid fire, is the only agency that can save his life, physicians say.
SAVES HIS LIFE.
There were two distinct blasts, persons living in the neighborhood said. Police say the first explosion must have thrown Lawler and his wife from their bed, on the sleeping porch directly above where the bomb was set.
The second explosion sent a spray of gasoline over the house. In a moment, it was a roaring furnace. A crowd which was gathering outside saw Lawler, his night clothes burned away, leaning out a window, his wife's limp body in his arms. Lowering the body as far as he could, he dropped Mrs. Lawler on to an awning, which broke her twenty-foot fall. Lawler then climbed to the blazing roof and leaped to the ground.
Neighbors rescued Oscar, Jr., and his nurse.
NITROGLYCITRINE USED.
So terrific was the explosion that it drove the cup of the five-inch iron pipe bomb thru three hedges and a board force and dented the front of a house 160 feet away. Nitro-glycene was the bomb's content, experts said.
17 ALLEGED RIOTERS UNDER INDICTMENT
Chicago, Aug. 5. — Seventeen persons were under indictment here today in connection with last week's race riots in which thirty-five whites and blacks were killed. Three were charged with murder during the first session of the August grand jury yesterday.
Other findings were to be voted today, it was expected. The first day's results came quickly on the heels of Circuit Judge Crowne's instructions to the jury to hang rioters to prevent race troubles.
WANT DEPARTMENT OF AERONAUTICS
Washington, Aug. 5. - Creation of an executive department of aeronautics, headed by a cabinet member, is proposed in a bill introduced by Senator New, Indiana.
New's bill provides for amalgamation of the entire aeronautical activity of the government, including the army air service naval aviation, marine aviation, post office air mail service and coast guard air observation.
SAY ARMY SALE WILL NOT CUT MEAT PRICE
Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. 5 — Selling of meats by the government will not affect meat prices, here said members of the Market Men's Association here Saturday. The fresh meats offered by the government are cold storage meats, they say. "Even Milwaukeeans will eat storage meats when served in hotels or dining cars but it is impossible to sell it at any price on the open market."
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN
Program To Lower Food Cost Secret
CABINET MEMBERS AND OTHER OFFICIALS TELL WILSON HOW TO DO IT.
SCHEME DEFINITE
PALMER GIVES NO HINT ON
SUGGESTIONS—INVOLVES
LEGISLATION.
Washington, Aug. 5.—"Certain
definite suggestions" for reducing
living costs have been prepared for
submission to President Wilson late
today, Attorney General Palmer and
announced this afternoon.
Palmer's announcement came at
the conclusion of a three-hour-and-
a-half conference of eleven cabinet
members and government officials
at his office. These officials heard
the recommendations of federal
trade Commissioner Colver. Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury Leff-
ingwell and Railroad Director
Hines, who have been investigating
food prices.
LEGISLATION INVOLVED
"Certain definite suggestions were made and have been prepared in writing in a form which I shall submit to the President at a conference today," said Palmer. "The suggestions involve some legislation. They include all those made at the meeting last week when economic discussions began and some other suggestions made today." Suggestions made at the last meeting, included, it is understood, reduction in the price of wheat, reduction of paper currency, licensing dealers in necessities and revival of the part of the food administration machinery.
NO HINT OF PLAN.
Palmer would give no inkling of what the new suggestions are. It is assumed that they have to do with prosecution of food profiteers because of the presence at the meeting of C. W. Ames, special assistant to Palmer, in charge of anti-trust legislation and administration of the food and fuel act. Ames is believed to have laid before the meeting some suggestions as a result of his study of the report of the "big five" packers made by the federal trade commission.
WHEAT PRICE REDUCTION?
The presence of Julius Barnes head of the United States Grain corporation, was taken to mean reduction in wheat prices was discussed. Governor Harding, of the federal reserve board, who was not at the first meeting last week, attended today. Others present included Secretary Glass, Victor Murdock, of the federal trade commission, and Secretary Houston and Secretary Wilson. Demands of railroad employees for government ownership of railroads with employees sharing the profits were standing out more clearly today as President Wilson's plan for settling the wage demands has proven unsatisfactory to the railroad workers.
H. C. OF L. IN FOREGROUND.
The high cost of living problem continued in the foreground with Attorney General Palmer's committee of government officials meeting this morning to discuss a tentative program for attacking the high prices, to be submitted to the cabinet meeting this afternoon. These two propositions took up almost all the attention of important government officials. A sharp fight seemed likely to break out in congress as soon as the railroad employees' plan for government ownership is mentioned in either house as those opposed to it have given out hints that they believe it would lead ultimately to nationalization of all industries and cause a bloodless revolution in the United States—one of the most for reaching revolutions in history.
LEAGUE NEARLY FORGOTTEN.
While Palmer's conference were drawing up their plan this morning for lowering food costs, further complications in this problem clamor to light when it was started by senators that a coal famine is threatened this winter because of a coal can shortage.
Julius M. Barnes, of New York wheat director and Governor Harding, of the federal reserve board, were invited to today's conference of the President and his cabinet. Barnes, it was learned, was to be quizzed on the feasibility of having the government purchase the present year's grain crop at guaranteed prices and resell it on the market at a lower figure.
Bread, the department of labor reports, sells for nine to ten cents a pound in most cities. It is armed if this price can be cut to five or six cents other foods will drop in sympathy.
Governor Harding was to be asked about the advisability of reducing the volume of currency in cir

culation, which officials say is twice that of pre-war days. They argue this is one of the chief causes of high prices. It is also suggested that federal banking machinery be used to contract credit. Some experts say it is now highly inflated.
CONSIDERS FOOD BOARD.
The President, it became known today, is giving serious consideration to the revival of the price fixing and profit limiting functions of the food administration and the war industries board, now inoperative for funds, although the laws which enabled them to operate are still on the statute books.
He conferred late yesterday on federal trade Commissioners Mar钻ock and Colver asking them what cost data they are prepared to furnish.
The commission, it was said, has production figures on $30,000,000,000 worth of commodities, including bread, flour, canned goods and other foods. These figures were used by the government in price limiting during the war and will form the basis on any action growing out of the present agitation, according to officials.
WOULD REPEAL GUARANTEE.
Repeal of the wheat price guarantee is scheduled to be discussed by the senate agricultural committee shortly, with senators from agricultural states apparently widely differing.
Chairman Gronna, North Dakota, favors repeal on the ground that the farmer then will get higher prices for his wheat.
Senators Norris, Nebraska, Capper, Kansas, and other members of the committee, declared the farmer will lose if the government minimum price is removed.
Millers and not the farmers are protesting by the guarantee law, according to Gronna. The United States grain corporation has used the government minimum price to beat down the amount paid to the farmer for grain while the millers and bakers are free to elevate prices, Gronna said. Wheat is already selling at more than $3 a bushel at Minneapolis and a world shortage will make the price higher, he asserted. Cappoons others opposed to repealing the guarantee say its removal would play into hands of speculators.
U. S. PROFITEERING?
Charges that the government itself, thru the United States grain corporation, which is marketing the nation's wheat crop, is guilty of profiteering in grains and thus is responsible for boosting the cost of living, were to be made to the house today by Representative McCulloch, Ohio.
The grain corporation, thru its complete control of the market, has increased the wheat price as high as usual, and the price of the $2.25 guaranteed price and the trade sanctions have resulted in a profit of nearly $24,000,000 to the government, he declared.
MAY RESTORE FUTURE TRADING IN WHEAT
Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 5.—Future trading in wheat may be recolored almost immediately by the United States Grain Corporation, owing to a crop shrinkage so serious that the United States may be unable to carry out its plans for the reprovisioning of Europe. Reports to this effect were current in grain circles here today. They were based on an announcement by Frank L. Carey, vice president of the United States Grain Corporation, that he will attend a meeting of executives of the corporation in New York next Tuesday, to consider changes of policy made necessary by the crop shrinkage. Mr. Carey declined to confirm or deny the report that the corporation may permit the resumption of future trading. He said, however, that plans formed in anticipation of a huge exportable surplus of wheat would have to be revised, in view of the likelihood that the exportable surplus will be small.
Kenaha, Wise, Aug. 5.—While playing wild west, John and Charles Shakus, 12 and 13, respectively, put Peter Wenkus, five, in a packing box failed with excursion and set it afire. The child and its father, Charles, were badly burned in the rescue. The boy may live.

Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 4.—Headed by a brass band and a decorated automobile bearing a banner with the words "the shame of it all," a procession of citizens today accompanied Edward T. Leech, editor of the Memphis Press, to the jail where it will serve ten days for alleged contempt of court.
Leech was sentenced following the publication in his paper of an editorial entitled "the shame of it all", which the court held was directed at Chancellor Israel Peres.
CHEERED BY CROWDS.
Leech contended the editorial was generous and tone and was written in connection with the political situation in Memphis.
It did not mention Peres.

Following the decorated car, in which Leech rode, were fifty automobiles containing citizens. The procession traversed the streets of the business part of Memphis. Crowds on the curbs cheered as it passed.
A large crowd of citizens gathered at the jail when the procession arrived.

An attorney mounted on the jail steps, made a speech in defense of the freedom of the press and of Editor Leech's conduct.
Inside the jail Leech was ushered into a cell filled with flowers. A brand new white bed, spread with clean linen, had been provided by his friends. A refrigerator filled with edibles was also provided.
Plans are being made to hold a mass meeting the day Leech is released from jail at which new laws will be proposed to the Tennessee legislature guarantee freedom of speech and of the press.

LENROOT IS AGAINST UNIVERSAL SERVICE; HOT FIGHT CERTAIN
Washington, Aug. 5 — Congress wants to hear from General Pershing before making up its mind about universal military training and the nation's peace army.
Indications today were that the war department bill for an army of a half million and universal service will be bitterly contested in both Senator Wadeworth, chairman of the senate military affairs committee, believes the general staff's proposal for a peace army is too large. Senators Leontro, Wisconsin; Capper, Kansas and others on the committee are opposed to the universal service feature. Wearings will begin at once, but no action will be taken until General Pershing returns from abroad.

Wherever these lines exist, white and colored people will always clash—of one blood God made all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth. The rights of humanity, without respect to persons, is the gift of God, and the gift of God is eternal life and whenever these principles are violated the darkest clouds of bloodshed and death are shown to manifest itself, as in the case of the origin of the Chicago riot. The ministers of the civil laws of this U. S. should make themselves familiar with the God given right of humanity; they should educate themselves on the all important subject—Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man; and avoid the spirit of becoming "judges of civil thoughts." Now some one is to blame for the cause of this existing evil in Chicago, and not only in Chicago, but in all other instances of like character. "Imaginary Line"—just imagine a poor little colored boy must give his life, because he simply drifted, yes, innocently drifted beyond the "imaginary line"—no line at all, no stake, no mark, no human reason assigned why he should not, only that, "he is a negro"—kill him, eh—no harm done, no danger of a digitation—"he is a nigger," "public sentiment endorses the act." "The niggers have no rights we are bound to respect." A worm will turn over when you step upon him, a sow will more or less squeal when you intrude upon her pigs, a nation resents it when you impose upon its citizens, and will muster all means to ends to make a defense, yet it may go down in defeat. Why not the wisdom of the great masters of the civil law, been applied in immediately bringing this murder to justice." Does this U. S. hope to maintain its powerful reputation among the nations, the earth, or even among its own citizens, with this system of world-wide democracy."
"Iimaginary Line." God dislikes human imaginations. Let us read Luke 1, 51, also Gen. 6, 5. Shall the colored man be lead to "desperation" from the simple fact that he has been forced to believe that even in the courts he cannot obtain a fair deal; that even the privileges and space assigned to him can be encroached upon in many instances; and at the same time he should "squail" be classed as an undesirable citizen. It is characteristic of the Negro that he does not ask special laws, or special favors upon the common things of life, but a square deal that he may in an honest way obtain bread and butter, as other men
All fair-minded people know that the part the colored soldier has taken in the cruel war, waged for human freedom entitles him to just treatment from the people who make all the laws—the white people of this country—remember there was no "Imaginary Line" during these awful crises. All we ask is just and mercy in the premises, as the case may warrant, let it be Neuro or white man—equally apply the law be they white or black—parry not the guilty one—this will be peak for this country a bright horizon in the future, in this reason we will not need to learn nor indulge in race store.

To Know The Negro Is To Solve The Problems Concerning Him.
Philadelphia—Mr. Benjamin A. Arnold, in a very pleasing, liberal and intelligent article dealing with the so-called "Negro Problem," has the following to say in the Philadelphia Public Lecture:
"President Wilhelm is very fond of telling a story about Charles Adam, the moral of which is 'at you cannot hate a man you know.' The solution of the Negro problem would be much easier if the American people would learn more about the people concerned. Very few people have any knowledge of the actual civic, economic, educational, business or moral conditions among the Negroes, even of their own communities, and with so little information at hand they can form no real opinion concerning the public policy that every
inside interview, he has ever
intended, asserted that:
1. That Bolshevist political aim is to
eve Americans and the Japanese
in Siberia.
2. Revolution, not reform, is the

President Wilson is very fond about Charlie Samson the moral of who not hate a man you know. The moral problem would be much easier if the wound learn more about the people few people have any knowledge of economic, educational, demographic among the New Yorkers, even of their own and with so little information at hand no real opinion concerning the public opinion would be.
SAYS REVOLUTION IS
BOLSHEVIK PROGRAM
SAYS REVOLUTION IS
BOLSHEVIK PROGRAM
(Copyright 1992 by HarperCollins Publishers
Park, Ariz.)—Nine of the prime ministers of the United
States entered in Moscow, on Jan. 1, 1992.
Negroes make up over one-tenth of our total population and over one-sixth of the working population. According to the last United States census, there are about 2,225,000 Negro illiterates in the South, or over 33 per cent of the Negro population ten years of age or over. In the prisons of the south there are proportionately five times as many Negro prisoners as white. Forty per cent of all persons engaged in agricultural pursuits in the south are Negroes. These facts show that the question of adjusting these people to the American ideals of government and civilization should interest all thoughtful and patriotic Americans.
One of the main barriers to the solution of the Negro problem is the fact that many honest persons have been led to believe that the Negro is trying to edge into political control and social equality. Nothing is further from the truth. As Negroes become educated and able to earn more, and thus live better, they are finding increased satisfaction among members of their own race. Intelligent Negroes are as proud as the proudest white, and have no desire to force themselves where they are not wanted. What they seek is to live in as decent surroundings as possible and not be eternally condemned to a life in the neglected slums with the lowest element of their race. Negroes want the ballot, for they know that a voteless people is a voiceless people, and most of them agree with Lincoln that no man is good enough to govern another man without that man's consent.
A careful study of the social and economic status of the Negroes shows conclusively that in many of the states Negro education is neglected. In several states where the Negro population is very large no serious attempt is made to provide adequate educational facilities for Negroes. The average length of the school term is four months; nearly all schools are taught in dilapidated churches, which of course, are not equipped with suitable decks, blackboards, and other essentials of a school. It might be interesting to note that through the generosity of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, rural schools are being provided in several southern states. For instance, in 1916 there had been erected in Alabama 107 school houses, North Carolina eleven and Georgia eight, through Mr. Rosenwald's benefactions. It is hard to find a reason for the indifference of the American people toward Negro education, for, laying aside all questions of equity, the liberal use of public funds for the support of schools for all the people is more and more clearly recognized as good*business, for no state or nation can be prosperous with a large per cent of its population ignorant.
In the border states—Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri—Negroes have not been disfranchised; the percentage of illiteracy is not near as high as in the southern states, as, for example, in South Carolina the percentage of Negro illiteracy is 38.7, in Missouri 17.4, Georgia 36.5, West Virginia 20. These facts show clearly that in the south, deprived of the right to vote and participate in his government, the Negroes are not given a fair chance to become intelligent American citizens. President Wilson says that unless a man performs his full duty he is not entitled to a right. How can people, denied the right to participate in their government, or a chance to get a common school education ever know the duties of citizenship or understand the fundamental principles of government necessary for citizenship in the American democracy?
The framers of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, knowing that the old spirit of John C. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis had not been crushed in the south, were careful to add to these amendments the provision that congress should have the power to enforce them by appropriate legislation. It stands today to the disgrace of democratic America, and to the Republican party particularly, that these safeguards of Negro rights have been ignored. The status of the Negroes in the South today is the same as if the Fifteenth Amendment had never been passed.
It is only by instigation of the wrongs of men that what are called the rights of man become turbulent and dangerous. When a Negro reads in the newspapers articles and editorials about the wrongs of Belgians, he begins to thing about his own wrongs? If autocracy is wrong in Europe it is wrong in America. If the plain people of Europe are to have no choice in their government, America can no longer allow any of her citizens to be disfranchised because they are Colored.
The returning Negro soldiers, many of them with an empty sleeve or wanting leg, will not be satisfied with some of the old conditions. They will want to share the new democracy. Ought they to be satisfied with the old conditions as regards voting, riding on Jim Crow cars, housing and wages? Can America expect men to offer themselves on the altar of freedom that Italians, Belgians and Czechs be free, and at the same time be compelled to suffer all kinds of humiliation at the hands of their countrymen? Many people excuse the south for lynchings because the victims are Colored. But President Wilson says that many of them have fought at the very front.
Negroes have watched carefully the events of the last two years. They have seen America, forgetting Washington's monition, to avoid foreign alliances, shake off the isolation of a century and decide the great world war. They have heard the president summon to the defense of America and her ideals all men brave and true, without regard to race or color; they have heard him declare that this war was for humanity, and that we were fighting to make the world safe for democracy. They listened with breathless silence when he said that we shall fight for those things we have carried nearest our hearts—for democracy, the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government.
They have seen over 200,000 black sons, fathers, husbands and brothers, go forth calm and serene to fight the Hun. They know that beneath the sode of Flanders held and Picardy sleep the bodies of many of those brave black men who laid down their lives at the call of their country, and today there goes up to the God of battles from thousands of dark bosons the prayer. How long, O Lord, how long with our nation hold up to the world with one hand democracy, justice and truth and with the other press down the thorny crown of oppression on the brows of its local darker citizens? Liberal-minded Americans anxious to see a league of nations and justice done to all peoples of the world cannot afford to ignore longer this burning question."

THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE
Says League Is Superior To U.S. Plan
SECRETARY LANSING TELLS
SENATE COMMITTEE OF
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Assumes President Drafted "Amer-
Washington, Aug. 6.—The plan finally adopted for the League of Nations covenant is far superior to the so-called American plan, Secretary Lansing declared today before the senate foreign relations committee.
Senator Lodge began the questioning of Lansing by asking where the committee can get a copy of the American plan for the League.
Lansing said he did not know. The state department has no copy, he said and none was ever laid before the peace conference.
Denies Lawyers Wrote It.
The American draft was shown to Lansing by President Wilson and Lansing returned it to the President, he said.
"Who wrote the American plan?" asked Senator Brandge.
"I assume the President wrote it," said Lansing.
"Don't you know two New York lawyers wrote it for the President and took it to Europe?" "That's not true," said Lansing. Committee members were unable to learn from Lansing of any difference between the American plan and that finally adopted. Lansing denied he had written a plan, but said he had submitted a general resolution covering broad general principals of the League before the League commission in Paris.
No action was taken on it, he
Expects Budget Expense.
Lodge also questioned him concerning the method of raising money to pay the League's expenses. Lansing said he assumes a budget will be made and each nation told how much it should pay. Congress can decide whether to appropriate the full apportionment required of the United States, he said.
The clause in the peace treaty, by which Japan was given the German rights in Shantung, failed to agree with the advice of the American delegates to President Wilson, Secretary Lansing said.
Advice Not Followed.
General Bliss, in the name of the other delegates, wrote a letter to the President a week before the Shantung question was settled. Lansing said.
"The President conferred with the commissioners in connection with the Japanese situation and he wanted to know if we would communicate our views in writing." Lansing told the committee.
"General Bliss prepared a letter which he showed to Mr. White and myself and we concurred in it. It was some days before the Shantung decision was announced and was in the nature of advice to the President.
"Did the advice correspond with what was accomplished?" asked Senator Borah.
"No." Lansing replied.
Minutes: Confidential.
Lansing said that Chinese delegates appealed to American delegates at Paris to protect their interests from encroachment by Japan. He said that President Wilson recently suggested that a demand by the French Senate for confidential minutes of the peace conference be refused as it might cause embarrassment because of the frank nature of some of the discussions.
SAYS U.S. IS PROFITING BY WHEAT PRICE
CONGRESSMAN MCCULLOCH
MAKES PUBLIC LETTER FROM
JULIUS BARNES.
Quotations Keep Above Guarantee,
Declares People Are Paying
Increase.
Washington, Aug. 6.—The price of wheat to the people of the country is being kept at 20 to 30 cents above the $2.26 government guaranteed price to make profits for the United States Grain Corporation a government agency. Representative McCulloch charged in a statement today, submitting letters from Julius H Barnes, head of the corporation.
Profit Of One Per Cent.
Profits have already mounted to $23,763,220.95, the letters show Barnes, in his letters, says he handled $2,000,000,000 worth of food-stuffs and therefore this represents a profit of slightly more than one per cent.
Machiloch insults it was the intent of congress to have the government stand the marketing expense of the grain and re sell it to the people at the $2.26 price.
In his letter, as submitted by McCulloch, Barnes states:
"To reimburse the accrued charges we made a price of 14 cents over the guaranteed price in March. 15 cents over April 1 to 10, 16 cents over April 11 to 20 and 20 cents from April 21 to 20.
Means Higher Prices.
"Under these prices, something like seventy millions of bushels were put in the domestic markets of the country and even then we had to curtain our shipments to foreign bushels. Of course, to the above price the union must add the railroad rates."
"Mr. Barnes has apparently forgotten these increases, directly from pockets of the people and that higher priced wheat means higher prices for all other commodities." Machiloch said.
I think the responsibility for the
death of living large rests on
himself.
WILSON WILL BE ASKED TO APPROVE PLAN
Washington, Aug. 4.—Revival of the food administration and the Lever law, under which the administration was created, is being considered by officials here and will be proposed to President Wilson.

UNUSUAL EXPEDITION GOES INTO AFRICA
New York, Aug. 5.—What is probably the most unique expedition of its kind has landed at Cape Town, South Africa, from which point it will penetrate the jungles of the dark continent.
This expedition is the first to go on a similar errand since the beginning of the world war. The expedition is larger than that headed by the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt and many members of the present party were with the deceased president. A full cinematograph equipment was taken on the expedition and photographic records will be made of all discoveries and will be brought back to American for portrayal in an educational campaign which is to be instituted by the government.
The director of the expedition is Edmund Heller, of Washington, D. C. Heller is a famous scientist connected with the Smithsonian institution and is an experienced ex-

ALL CLASSES HONOR
OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN
New York. Aug. 5.—All classes packed Temple Emanuel yesterday to pay homage to Oscar Hammerstein, who died Friday night. The services were simple and unostentations.
Doors of the Temple were thrown open to the public and hundreds surged in. A weeping colored cook and a ragged, whimpering stock boy, servants of the impressario, set in a pew beside richly gowned actresses from leading New York theatres.
Many were unable to get in after the flower beded coffin had been escorted to the Temple.
John Mc Cormack sang. Rabbi Joseph Silverman conducted "the services.
The body was intered at Woodlawn cemetery. The pullbearers were Lee Shubert, Abraham L. Erlanger, Marc Klaw, David Belasco, George M. Cohan, Al Woods, William A. Brady, J. J. Shubert, Morris Gest, Percy G. Williams, Lyle D. Andrews and Henry Rosenberg.

LITTLE BOY DROWNS IN OPEN CISTERN
Madison, Wis., Aug. 5—Poor eyesight, which is believed to have caused him to judge distance imperfectly, led five-year-old Ralph Tooney, only son of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Tooney, 841 S. Brooks street, to his death when he stumbled and fell into an open cistern near a partly finished house on Erin street. Neighbors took the unconscious child from the water and he was cushed to St. Mary's hospital, where all efforts to revive him failed. Physicians believe death was due to heart failure.

BOOST IN SHOE PRICES UNJUST: REPORT SHOWS
FEDERAL TRADE BOARD FINDS
FOOTWEAR MAKERS HAVE
BIG PROFITS.
Part Of Increased Cost Traced To
Packers—Urges Restricted
Monopolies.
Washington. Aug. 6—Higher
prices of shoes "cannot be justified
by underlying economic conditions."
the federal trade commission declared
today in a report to congress.
The report is based on investigations
began more than a year ago.
The report trades part of the increased
cost of shoes back to the Chicago packers who control the hide market
"Unprecedented Profits."
Large profits are also made by
tanners, shoemakers, wholesalers
and railroads, according to the report,
all of whom boosted prices
and "made unprecedented profits."
Some retail shoe dealers made
as much as fifty per cent profit, the
report states.
As a remedy for the situation, the commission recommends "rigid enforcement of the laws against monopolistic control," legislation for bidding producers of hides from going in the tanning business and the "adoption of a device in the distribution of shoes that will acquaint the consumer with the selling price of the manufacturer." In framing its conclusions that profits were unjustified the commission said it took into consideration a natural advance in the cost of leather and all materials due to the war.
Due To Hide Prices
"During the years 1914 to 1917," the commission says, "the cost of producing sole leather increased from 9 to 20 cents a pound of leather produced. About 85 per cent of the increase was due to the increased price of hides. The increase other than for materials, including overhead expenses during the four years ranged from about one-half cent to three cents a pound of leather produced.
"The earnings on investment in the tanning business were very much greater in 1916 and 1917 than they were in 1914 and 1915. Of 83 tanning companies, 24 earned less than 10 per cent in 1914 and 11 had earnings of over 20 per cent, while one earned as much as 40 per cent.
"In 1917 only two of the 55 companies earned less than 10 per cent, 22 earned over 20 per cent and 9 earned over 40 per cent."
Retail Profit Half.
In the shoe manufacturing business, the report says, more than one-third of 236 companies studied earned 25 per cent or more in 1917, while only one-sixth earned this much in 1914. In 1916, 104 of the 206 companies earned 25 per cent or more. In studying wholesale shoe merchants, the commission found that profits ranged above 20 per cent of the cost.
"The retailers gross profit is around 50 per cent," the report declares.
"In 1914 the retailers' absolute gross profit averaged a little more than $1 a pair while in '1918 it averaged more than $1.80 a pair."
ENGLAND PLANNING MODEL VILLAGES
London, Aug. 5.—It is said that the average middle-class home is so ugly it ought to be burnt down and Englishmen are just beginning to realize this fact, with the result that all over England villages are afoot to build model villages and model suburbs.
Brighton is the first to lead the way. They are building a super-suburb, consisting of 900 houses, so planned that there will not be more than ten to the acre. This will allow each house a garden of 16 rods—or 640 feet.
The suburb is to be built in an orchard setting. Fruit trees will line the roadways. There will be no walls, the gardens being divided by hedges. There will be recreation grounds, allotments and common playgrounds. The houses are to be built on modern and artistic lines, the internal arrangements being the last word in house-comfort.
The only fly in the ointment is the question of the small boys. Will they be model enough to inhabit a model suburb, or will they help themselves to the fruit that abounds in the public thorfoares? It is hoped they will become imbued with a great respect for communal rights and thus grow up first-class democrats.
Cleveland, O. Aug. 6.—Five men were killed, several persons were injured and approximately $2,000,000 damage was done to crops and dwellings by a heavy rain and lightning storm, which-swept Cleveland and northern Ohio last night.
Two men were killed by lightning, two died of electric shock by touching wires while another was drowned.
Hundreds of families were rendered homeless by floods in the low lying sections. Several hundred homes and barns were reported destroyed by lightning fire and wind.
Railroad and wire service also suffered.
The storm was the worst recorded in 15 years.

THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE
HUNGARY WILL BE FRIENDLY WITH ALLIES
JULIUS PEIDI, NEW PREMIER,
ISSUES STATEMENT ON
CABINET POLICY.
Declares Regime Temporary, But
Order And Safety Must Be Est-
ablished At Once.
Bupestad, Aug. 4.—The new Hungarian government, succeeding Bela Kun's Soviet regime, desires to establish friendly relations with the Allies immediately, Julius Peidl, the new premier, declared today when he granted his first newspaper interview.
In outlining his program, Peidl said the new cabinet regarded itself as a temporary government, but added there were certain policies which it intended to put into force at once.
Negotiate With Italy.
Negotiations already have been opened with Italy, he said, with the view of obtaining immediate cessation of hostilities.
"As a temporary government," Peidil said, "our first and most important task is to establish order and safety. At the same time we must organize an election, based on universal suffrage and call the assembly which will decide Hungray's new form of government.
"The composition of the present government is proof that we wish to maintain friendly relations with all peoples. We will do everything in our power to safeguard the life and property of the Hungarian population, as well as foreign subjects.
Food Situation Grave.
"Evacuation of the parts of Hungary now held by Entente forces would improve the situation immediately. Our government, which will strive to create normal and orderly conditions, counts upon the benevolent support of the Allied governments and peoples.
"The food situation is grave," Peidil added.
He declared the Entente's greatest help at this time would be the sending of food supplies. This would enable establishment of order, he said. Peidl said Hungary must also have a new military. Budapest was under a strict state of siege today and perfect order prevailed.
MAJOR CHARLES BUCK
RECEIVES DISCHARGE
MAJOR CHARLES BUCK
RECEIVES DISCHARGE
Major Charles Buck is back in Beloit today following his release from army service at Camp Dodge, Ia., after almost two years spent in France. Following the armistice Major Buck has been divisional adjutant of the division that trained at Camp Dodge. He was recompended for transfer to the regular army on the record he made withover-seas units but reduction of the regular army to the minimum was ordered before the transfer became effective. It is probable that Major Buck will resume his duties on the faculty of Beloit high school when the school year opens in September. It is certain that Wisconsin National Guard chiefs will ask that the Beloit officer aid them in the reorganization of the new guard in this state.
COUNCIL WILL HAVE IMPORTANT SESSION
City Fathers and municipal officials face an important meeting of the common council tonight. It is probable that the protest of downtown property owners against the boulevard light program adopted by the council will be presented. Action on the central bridge, which must either be rebuilt or repaired at once, will also be considered. The council will meet at 8 o'clock in the city building on East Grand avenue.

SECOND DIVISION TO MAKE PARADE REAL "HUMDINGER"
New York, Aug. 4. — Four transports unloaded men of the Second division at Hoboken yesterday. Before the "George Washington" reached the harbor on the marine board voted unanimously against parading, "We want to go home," they shouted, but reconsidered when told that Maj. Gen. John A. Leguene, their commander wanted to parade and agreed that "if the old man wants it, we'll make it a hundredtug." The date for the parade, which is authorized from Washington, is not set. Afterward, the Second, which has but 2,500 regulars left in its ranks, will be demobilized.

NEW YORK SAD AFTER MONTH OF DROUGHT
BARTENDERS LOOKING FOR NEW HARBOR FOLLOWING PROHIBITION LAW.
Broadway Misses Men Who Used To Frequent Cafes And Cabarets In Old Days.
New York, Aug. 6.—Bartenders, formerly helmmen of many a schooner, under the good skipper Old Man Hattan, are now looking for a sung harbor as a result of the demise of their friend, John Bar Lecorn, one month ago.
But the late mixers of merry munchage declare the first of July and the consequent advent of prohibition brought them one relief, viz. they no longer have to answer the question which was propounded about 85,764,834 times: "Well, Joe, whatta ya gonna do after prohibi-
The famous characters who work national reputations for their skill in conceiving jumps and toddlers are now seeking other employment, and they have become conspicuous by their absence from this city's famous thoroughfare. Broadway, and Broadway misses the men to whom it used to whisper its troubles. The well known cafes and cabarets are no longer patronized by the crowds of sun-dodgers who once almost lived in them. The owners predict that they will soon go into bankruptcy unless they on strong liquors is used. They are fairly whistling among tombstones in an effort to maintain optimism, but this is a difficult amid surroundings of empty tables. As the Great Thirst approached the proprietors were shaken with doubt. Some opined it might be possible with the capers and food at a proffessor without the admixture of alcohol, but they are now mostly advanced that it is impossible.
Prominent restaurateurs say people simply won't eat enough food to make a floor show profitable. There is a distinct height to which prices can go and there they must stop. Patrons were given a sad awakening as the prices began to jump immediately affirr prohibition. These patrons worried little about prices so long as they could drive away dull care by a cocktail. But there is slight exhilaration to be found in a ham sandwich, pina colada or vague hopes that some miracle will occur to save their fortune. The anti Saloon League may be declared unconstitutional and the eighteenth amendment repealed—perhaps.
Bon vivants intent upon eating green corn would—if perfectly sober resent the irruption of a young person dressed like a kewpie and playing a violin. Ladies from our best circles have in the past been known to think it a good joke when the young lady on the end tickled a fat husband on his second chin with her toe. Under present conditions such an incident would furnish a topic for fireside discussion for the rest of the year.
Then there is the chance that the cabaret proprietors might abandon the theatre business and entice custom by perusing very good food. But that has not been the New York way. The New York habit has been tolerated through plate of something coy, and followed by something cold irrigated by something hot. Then the dinner turns red and glows. Perfect service of perfect food may follow the departure of the cabaret from the better New York restaurants.

WISCONSIN LINE DISPUTE COMES UP IN OCTOBER
SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR SUIT OVER BOUNDARY STARTED BY MINNESOTA.
Controversy Started in 1916 When Gopher State Asked for Valuable Ore Docks.
Madison, Wis., Aug. 6—The state of Wisconsin today thrus the attorney general's department filed its brief in the United States supreme court in connection with the suit started in that court by the state of Minnesota in the Wisconsin-Minnesota boundary line controversy. M. B. Olbrich will appear for Wisconsin before the federal court on October 13.
Minnesota Starts Action.
Minnesota Starts Action.
The present boundary line controversy dates back to 1916 when Minnesota brought suit in the fed-casting boundary line between DuLuth, Minn., and Suprior, Wis., in the St. Louis river, changed to leave to Minnesota certain valuable docks which apparently were in Wisconsin territory. Under the enabling act of 1846, by which Wisconsin boundaries were set, the boundary line between Wisconsin and Minnesota at the points under argument were set by an imaginary line drawn thus "the center of Lake Superior to the mouth of the St. Louis river; then up the main channel of sud river to the first rapids in the same, above the Indian village, according to Nicollet's man."
Minnesota in the first instance claims that the mouth of the river is at a point fifteen miles below Grassy Point, held as the mouth of the stream by Wisconsin. In the second instance, the important question on which the United States supreme court must pass upon is where the main channel of the St. Louis river lies.
Must Decide River Channel.
In 1903 the United States dredged a new channel thru the river a considerable distance in on the Wisconsin side of the river. The big iron docks owned by the Carnegie interests were built out to the new channel.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 5. — That Indianapolis will be on an air mail route by spring has been practically assured in a letter received by Postmaster Springsteen from Otto Praeger, second assistant postmaster general. The letter, which was a reply to one written by Springsteen, said that Praeger now is considering making Indianapolis a stopover or a route from Pittsburgh to St. Louis. Such a route would mean a day less in time of transmission between Indianapolis and New York City.
OLD MAN DIES UNDER WHEELS OF TRAIN
Rockford, Ill. Aug. 5 —Tired of being a burden to himself and to his relatives, P. A. Frisk, seventy-five years old and partly crippled by rheumatism, kneeded by the side of the railroad track near Kishwaukee street and laid his neck on the rail directly in front of a switch train. His head was completely severed from his body, which was scarcely disturbed, as it lay beside the track

THURINGER-GARBUTT COMPANY
EDITOR GLAD TO GO TO JAIL FOR SAKE OF CAUSE
WOULD SERVE ANOTHER SENTENCE TO ADVANCE HONESTY IN GOVERNMENT
Memphis, Tenn.—"I am not sorry that I am in jail," admitted Edward T. Leech, editor of the Memphis Press, sentenced to spend ten of the hottest summer days in the Shelby-co, jail for alleged constructive contempt of court.
"I'd go to jail again if I thought by doing so I could advance the cause of honest government and decent administration of public office."
The Shelby-co jail stands, a low building, on the bank of the Mississippi, where it fairly draws upon the sun for the hottest of rays, and where it is securely protected against any cooling breeze. I spent but an hour there talking with Leech, but in that hour I had enough of Shelby-co jail life to last me the rest of my days.
Leech has ten days and nights of it, and yet, he says he is willin' to take another sentence of the me sort rather than quit his fight upon political corruption and judicial dishonesty.
**Plan "Coming-Out Party"**
The honest citizenship of Memphis is with him. That has been clearly manifest since the day Leech went to jail.
As soon as the door closed upon him, hundreds of Memphis men and women immediately began preparation for the coming-out party when Leech has served his sentence.
A former mayor, and a former candidate for mayor of Memphis were there. Labor leaders and prominent women, heartily seconded the motion for a great meeting, which they insist will serve a dual purpose: that of welcoming the editor when he comes from jail, and renewing the fight for civil decency.
Another, and a new, plank has crept into the program of these persons. Now they are determined not only to eliminate evil forces in government, but to limit the powers self-obtained, exercised by the judicial autocracy. Already a powerful current of public opinion has set in demanding that the state constitutional convention this fall define and limit the rights and privileges of judges. It will make it impossible for judges to make their own laws, and especially will the question of judicial contempt be a matter of much concern.
At the monster meeting now planned for the day Leech comes out of jail, it is planned, the good government people say, to lay the foundation for a constitutional definition of judicial contempt, putting it down in black and white on the state's statute books what is contempt and what is not, and how great, or small, a protection will be granted a judge against public criticism.
If that is accomplished, thousands of Memphis citizens believe Editor Leech will not have gone to jail frisslessly.

Say It's Philipp's Chance.
Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. 6.—"Gov Philipp has stated that he wants to see relief from high living costs brought to Wisconsin people. Well here's where he has a chance to prove whether he means it or is just bluffing." said A. W. Richter today, in speaking of his complaint on alleged food price agreements filed with the attorney general.
"There has been plenty of talk of official circles. This is the action in unofficial circles and it's up to the officials to prove that they are for the people and not straddling the fence between the people and business interests. Our present statutes provide plenty authority and penalty to curb profiteering."
MARKET RALLIES AFTER BIG SLUMP
New York, Aug. 5.—Following a slump which carried prices to the lowest marks they have seen in months, the stock market today responded to heavy buying orders and rallied just afternoon. Selling had been smothered by buyers, apparently, and steels led a climb that swept them into higher prices than they have experienced for two days. After selling below 105, United States steel advanced to 106, while Crucible quickly jumped above 133 after a low of 126 and a fraction. Other stocks responded in proportion.
