WICHITA, Kan, June 1S.-A case Of
peculiar and striking interest has been
made public here recently. May 30, j. A.
Newcome, a capitalist from gainesville,
o., was found lying in the private office
of +. l.. Tillinghast's bank, Clearwater,
with a bullet in his brain. The bank an
nounced that Newcome had, while sui.
fering from financial distress, attempted
suicide, and as the injured man was IN
conscious and unable to give any account
of the affair, the statement was accepted
by the public. Greatly to the surprise OF
all, and in spite of the fact that LIE car
rles in his brain a A -caliber ball, he com
menced to improve. With the first
CLEAN of returning consciousness, and
before he had strength to speak, he
seemed to be DESTROYS of giving his YER
sion of the affair. To-day he was able to
speak, and sending for his attorney, he
made a statement that he had either been
shot by Tillinghast himself or by one of
his employees in the bark at the time.
The reason he assigned was that he had
transferred to Tillinghast $50, 900 worth
OF property in trust, and hat he had
time after time asked him to either give
him a note or payment. Promising to
attend to the matter, TillInghast per-
suaded Newcome to come to his private
office and there attempted to kill him, and
subsequently, announced that it was a sui
eide. The statement was made before a
number of Newcomers friends.

Patriotic Order of Sons of America.
WASHINGTON, June lS.-The thir-
teenth annual national camp Of the Patri-
otto Order Of Sons of America began its
session to-day. President Smiths annual
address dwelt upon the necessity of COM
hitting to Americans the care and pre-
servation of American principles and in
situations; the control of the public schools
should be a matter of the deepest con-
Germ; the naturalization laws, he de-
nounced as a snare and a fraud; by e
of them in seventeen states and four ter
%ritories he asserted it is possible to en-
tirely overthrow the congressional act
against alien land owners in this country.
The following sentiments upon objects
now foremost in the public mind were
loudly applauded:
"A few more Haymarket riots and
Cronln murders instigated by organized
bodies OF foreigners, who have been per-
united to become citizens of this free
America, and who have shown their graf
ltude by sending messengers loaded with
dynamite back to their native country for
the purpose of destroying innocent peo-
plo, and who have foully murdered their
members when they fail to carry out their
hellish plans.
There will not be in u own western
country, lamp posts, telegraph or tele-
phone poles enough to hang the miscre-
ants. | ask you if there is room enough
in this ountry for societies like the Clan
na-Gael, that are not in harmony with
and are Injurious to American institutions;
that are dangerous to American order,
dlsloyal to American government, destruc-
tive to American principles, to
American ideas and disgusting to all
Americans who have any sense of
justice. any regard for consistency and
any respect for the s~anctity of human life.
Have we room for societies whose Off
GERS contract with men to commit whole
sale murder and then betray their tools
that they themselves may have more
money to spend for their own personal
benefitsH One-thIrd of our entire popula-
ton Is OF foreign birth or parentage; alien
flags and foreign emblems float from our
public buildings, emblazeon our streets
and head the professions of the people.
We are cursed with all kinds of foreign,
non-American issues; the vast unamerican
organizations are held together by issues
of foreign birth for the purpose of perpet-
uating foreign sentiments and corrupting
the ideals OF our fathers. Anarchy and
destruction of all law are openly advocat-
ed; the right to reform the discipline and
principle OF some of these orders is claimed
by secret c~onclaves, even to the extent of
taxing human lives

ing admitted the libel and paid the money

PTrsBURG, June lS.-To-dny's cleo
ton on the prohibitory amendment was
never equalled for strange sights and
sounds. The streets were filled all day
with amused crowds, watching the brass
bands of the Anti's and Infantile glee
clubs Of the Prohibitionists. Every one
seemed in good humor and the election
was freer from fights than any election
before known. The vote IN Allegheny
county is without precedent for a special
election and rivals the vote at any gene
raj election.

1T CANNOT LAST FOREVER.

I've a word of comfort for you
Who on life's rugged road
Are toiling meath the burden
OF n heavy, hopeless load
1t will make your heart grow lighter,
Whatever be your wrong,
And give you strength to bear it
II you take these words along,
And say when clouds of darkness
Around your pathway hover,
"The sun Is shining just beyond,
1t cannot last forever"
Just try them wheny you're wearied
By each petty care and strife,
By each little a~ggravation
OF your ommon daily life.
When angry words are rising
That you can scarcely smother,
And everything seems twisted up"
And tied In knots to bother,
You'll find these words aro like a knife
Each twisted knot to sever;
Then s~traighten out each tangle with.
at cannot last forever"
Or II some great disaster
Like a cyclone sweep your sky,
And stunned and helpless with the shock
Beneath the wreck you lie,
Remember that no storm comes
But has a clearing day;
The darkest night a morning,
An end the longest way,
Then take those words to cheer you,
You'll find them like q lever
To raise your sinking spirits up,
sit cannot last forever"
-LIln M. Alexander.

Description of the Great Race.

New YORK, June 1S.-The greatest
American racing event of the year was
determined this afternoon at Sheepshead
Bay track. A northern wind blew a
quarter gale over the course this after
aoon and the 80, 900 people present found
overcoats exceedingly comfortable. The
great suburban was the fourth event on
the card and through the three proceed
Ing races the throng was scarcely held in
check by the interest in the running they
witnessed. The hour had been fixed at
AZ p. M, but as soon as the preceding
race was run, there was a rush to the
betting shed to invest on it. Soon the
crowd became so great that it was only
by pushing and showing that betters could
get near enough to the bookmakers to
hand them money. Most betters acted
like crazy men in their anxiety to back
their fayontes. The track by this time
had dried put finely, and although damp
underneath and dusty on top it was a
trifie lumpy, but it was in TAR better con-
dition than the average suburban.
The fourth race, Suburban Handicap,
sweepstakes, 500 each. half forfeit, the
association to add the amount necessary
TO make the value of the race $40, 600. the
second to receive 50, 900 and third 81, 900.
Out of the money 50 added winning pen
alties and handicap allowances. Distance,
one and one fourth miles. Starters, Terra
Gotta, Eurus, Raceland, Badge, Elkwood,
Bella B, Gorge, Volunteer Second and
Brian Boru.
Raceland, owned by August Belmont,
won, Terra Gotta of the Chicago stable
second, Gorge, owned by G. Hearst,
third. Time by fractions: "a | 5, so,
l:l7, l:43 25, 2:09 5.
Raceland is a bay gelding. 4 years old,
by Billet, dam Calomet. He was pur-
chased by Joe Ullnan, a st. Louis book
maker, as a y~earlicg for 1920; his career
as a 2-year- old was most brilliant. Start
ing twelve times he was first nine times,
second once and unplaced twice. He met
and defeated all the besC youngsters of
his age in the country and placed to the
credit of his owner about $1S, 500. After
the race at Washington where Raceland
defeated Emperor of Norfolk in the Ar
l%ington stakes, in the best time ever
known on the Ivy City track, Bel
mont bought him for $l7, 500
