NEW EVANGELISTS.
Brooklyn Faith Curists with Socialistic
and Other Tendencies.

Brooklyn Faith Curists with Socialistfc
and other Tendencies.
NEW York, March 30.--A queer re-
vival is now going ON in the southern
district of Brooklyn, in little ram
shackle hall in Ha5nilton avenue. 1t is
the new movement among the Swedish
Faith Curists.
Whole blocks in the. neighborhood of
Greenwood cemetery are occupied by
Swedes, and there are probably more of
them there than in any city of the world
outside of Stockholm. Within the past
five years sect known as New Evangel-
lists came over the water and church
was established here. The chief doc
trine of the New Evangelists is the be-
lief in perfect sanctitication and the i'm
mortality of fate.
The leader of the sect is Adolf Larsen,
a man of great force of character. The
New Evangelists refuse to treat sick
person, believing that if his or her time
has come it is not only useless but posi-
lively wicked to apply medicine.
According to their belief messages are
received directly from the Holy Ghost
at every one Of the meetings. They be-
lieve that churches and ministers are
but, barriers between man and his
Maker. 1t is regarded as sin to hold
property, and the strongest believers
give away all their goods to the cause.
A large number of their children have
died because they refuse to let doctors
inio their houses. The police authori-
ties have undertaken to force medical
attendance upon them. A large num-
Der of poor laborers have made them
selves destitute by giving their all to
the church. They are about to build
house of worship.

A white Man Becomes Forger In Order

LAKE PROVIDENCE, La, March 3d.
Monday afternoon Robert Caffall, white.
for the past year or more shoemaker in
this town, was arrested for forging the
county court clerks signature on mar
riage license, which enabled him to
marry Mrs. Virginia White nee Dorsey,
colored, who had been divorced from
her husband, Charles White, colored.
Deputy w. A. Blount took him IN
charge and lodged him in Jail. The cere-
mony was performed by Alexander Arm
strong, justice of the peace of the Thild
ward, on Saturday evening last. The
community is considerably exercis ID
about the matter. A white man marry
ing the colored wife of colored man
by colored justice of the peace is
something decidedly unusual in this
neck of the woods, and wIl doubtless
tend to the breaking sup of many such
Objectionable connections.

NEGROES PROTEST
Against Singing the Patriotic
Air of "America.''
They Don't Think This a Sweet
Land of Liberty"

Speeches Made In Which Colored People
Are Urged to Organize Leagues and
Associations to Resist by United Efforts
the outrages by the whites--The nIem-
phis Lynching.
CHICAGO, March 30.-One thousand
negroes assembled at Bethel African
Methodist Episcopal church Sunday
night to consider the recent southern
outrages upon their race. The first SEN
sation of the evening came when, after
a short address, the pastor, Rev. George
w. Gains, asked the audience to join
him in singing America" As one man
the audience rose and refused to sing
that song until this country is what it
claims to be-"sweet land of liberty"
The pastor substituted John Brown"
outrages Denounced.
Several addresses followed the sing
ing, among the speakers being State
Representative Morris, who urged the
colored people to organize into leagues
and associations to resist by united
efforts outrages by the whites.
The Memphis Lynching.
M. l.. Barnett, colored attorney,
speaking Of the recent Memphis lynch
ing, said: memphis calls itself the
Queen City of the South, and boasts Of
its intelligence and honor. Its inhab-
itants have all the wealth, all the infiu-
ence, all that power or cowardice could
suggest.
"And yet thus fortified the city per-
mits men of honor and business integ-
rity who have grown from infancy to
manhood about its streets, men who
never felt the force of the law, even to
featherweight. but were known far
and wide as Industrious, upright, credit
able citizens, to be cast into Jail for de-
Tending their property and lives. This
Queen City stands to their defense and
utters no word of protest." The jailer
In charge at the time of the lynching
was severely scored, as was the white
press" which, admitting that 1t was an
unfortunate affair" warned negroes
that ian attempt to regulate might be-
come serious" The speaker closed by
appealing to the negroes of the country
to abstain from rashness. but to use
cool, calm, calculating courage, and
carefully deliberate over the means by
which repetitions of the Memphis affair
may be averted.
Mr.. Barnett said Monday that per-
manent organization would probably be
formed here to employ detectives, who
would investigate lynchings of colored
men in the south and bring the perpe-
traitors to justice. There was a great
hubbub over tho protection of American
citizens in Chill" said he, ssbut there are
5000, 900 American citizens on American
soil unprotected, and nothing is thought
Of it because of their color. 10 them
the American flag or national hymn
means nothing substantial"
Rev. George Gaines, pastor Of Bethel
African Methodist church, Of Chicago,
is out in an interview with the state
ment that the negroes no longer love this
country and consider the United States
government the worst enemy Of the me-
gro upon the globe.
Frank Denison, assistant city prose-
cutor, colored, in counter-interview,
pronounces the refusal to sing Amer
lea" disgraceful.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The Spring

should be a hitch in the present pro-
gram of the Democratic majority of the
ways and means committee, which has
charge of the measure. Chairman
Springer, of the committee, is ON the
program to close the debate in an hours

ficiently improved in health by that
time to fulfil the task. Although still
nervous and weak, he is improving
steadily, and on Friday will leave the
city for Fortress Monroe, where recuper-
alton is. expected to be more rapid. The

These measures disposed of in the house,
and appropriation bills in excellent

the Democratic majority of the ways

early Adjournment of congress is posi-

FAmlsHINa CHILDREN.


Eittle Ones III nassla Forced to Eat Rags
and Refuse Go Stay rhcir Hunger.
ST. PETERsGCRe March 30.~- The
committee formed for the purpose of
providing relief for the children of the
famine stricken peasants of the country
has reported that in many of the dis
tricts where the famine prevails the
children are SO poorly nourished that
they are too feeble to undertake the
long walk, which. in many instances,
requires an hours time to accomplish,
to school, where soup is dolel out to
those who make application, Being
thus unable to obtain any food, the TN
fortunate children, driven desperate by
the pangs of hunger, resort to most un-
usual means of securing something to
stay the cravings of their stomachs.
To such straits are they driven by the
famine that they eat most unwholesome
and disgusting things, some devouring
that which even animals would refuse.
1t was found during the investigation
of the committee that the children,
when nothing in the form of food could
be obtained, were in the habit of greedi-
ly eating whatever rags fell to their pos
session, and that when the rags failed
them their hunger was SO great that
they actually devoured quantities of
earth.
The deplorable condition to which the
suffering children were reduced by this
unnatural diet can easily be imagined.
Those who were able to survive under
these terrible conditions were in the
most miserable plight, and were in such
poor physical condition that they We're
utterly unable to face the biting cold of
the Russian winter. and were forced to
remain in their wretched dwellings, and
huddle together for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the little warmth which this
cheerlcss companionship produced.
Many of the teachers employed in the
schools in these districts are also in
famishing condition. They have re-
ceived no salary since last autumn, and
their only means of support being thus
cut off they are in almost as miserable
state as the children.
The commissioner, who is arranging
for the distribution of the -four and
grain sent from America for the relief
of the suffering peasants in Russia, has
written letter requesting that seed
grain be sent from America. At Mr..
Murphy's suggestion the kitchens, in
the distressed provinces at which the
American food will be distributed, will
be named after the states from which
the food came.

MINNESOTA IRON LANDS.
The Supply Almost Exhausted and the
Rush Almost Over.

The Supply Almost Exhausted and the
Rush Almost Over.
ST. PAUL, March 30.-The great rush
to secure leases of mineral lands in the
iron belt in the northern part of the
state is practically over, inasinuch as
nearly all the land supposed to be ore
bearing is secured either by lease or
contract. Since the law protecting and
providing for the leasing Of the state
lands went into effect 1926 leases have
been issued, while large number still
remain on file waiting to be looked up
and cleared.
In few cases leases taken out some
time ago have been allowed to lapse, but
since the recent activity no lease has
been permitted to go by default. Fifty
year contracts have been issued in 124
cases. The most valuable finds in many
cases have been located on small hold
ings. The first noticeable effect favora-
BILE to the state is the tremendous in
crease in the school fund. There is
provision in the states law that Sections
10 and 36 in every township of the state
should be reserved for school purposes.
A large part of these lands have already
been sold and the fund derived from
these sales now amount to more than
81, 100000.

act, similar to the precedent established
by the United States in the case of the

WASHINGTON, March 30--A promi-
nent senator whose thorough knowledge
of what has occurred during the execu-
tive sessions of the senate on the Beh.-
ing sea treaty can not be doubted, said
Tuesday that the ratification of the
treaty contemplated would be in accord
ance with the report of the majority of
the committee on foreign relations, who
have steadily opposed the addition of a
stipulation imposing renewal of last
years agreement before the treaty
should become effective.
He said that feeling of hostility to-
ward the attitude assumed by Great
Britain has been so strong in the senate
that the report of the minority of the
foregn relations committee would un-
doubtedly have been adopted, and the
treaty suspended to await renewal of
the modus vivendi, had not Lord Sails
bury's last note expressed his willing
ness to arrange mutually satisfactory
agreement.
