In mercantile circles in Germany there Is
very little sympathy for the japanese, and
probably one reason is that it is becoming
more and more difficult to export to them
since they have taken to utilizing the
knowledge acquired in Europe for estab-

which, of course, they must be applauded,
but which, all the same, is against the i'm

The following is from the Charleston Is.
CO News and Courier:
ut is a notorious fact says the Indian
apolis Journal, that the negro stands no
chance for justice in the South" If the
Journal will consult the last United States
census, taken under the direction OF a rad
ical Republican, it will find that a larger
proportion of black and colored people are
imprisoned and otherwise punished for
crimes in the Northern States than in the
Southern States.
If that proves anything it proves that the
laws are better enforced in the North than
in the South. Conviction for crime does
not necessarily argue persecution or a de-
NAL of justice. If a larger proportion of
negroes are convicted of crime in the North,
no doubt a larger proportion are acquitted
also. Is a negro charged with crime ever
acquitted in the South? However, it is not
legal prosecutions or convictions that the
colored people down there complain of, but
lynchingS.

ing the tariff fight by accepting the Sen
ate bill the Sentinel said:

all TO the Senate bill, with the coal, iron
and sugar schedules as dictated by the

Again in an editorial on Aug. Z it said:
The opinion is universal that rather than
surrender to the Senate no bill whatever
should be passed. 1t is absolutely beyond
question that the people will support the
House and the President to any limit i'll

The House did surrender to the Senate
and the President failed to veto the bill
which he had characterized as a measure
of party peridy and party dishonor. Now
the Sentinel is enthusiastic in support of
the new law.

parallels.

from Virginia they could have reached the
line at some station below Marlboro in

travelling on the line will be subject to
close espionage by detectives for several
days.

THE DETECTIVE HELD,
Judge Miller Sends Charlie Edwards
to the Grand Jury.

Charlie Edwards, the alleged colored de-
tective who was locked up yesterday
charge of perjury growing out of his work in
connection with the Soldiers Home fire, as
printed in yesterdays Star, was given a
hearing in Judge MIXERS court today. MIR.
Mullowney, for the prosecution, called
number of witnesses, who gave evidence
concerning the detective. Witnesses APP
peared and told of the repetition of the al
legged confession by girl represented by
Edwards as being Sarah Smith, the chief
witness against the soldier Ryan. A SOL
der named WEIGH testified that he saw Ed
wards soon after he had been admitted to
the home, and Edwards told him that he had
come to detect speak easies,' and clear up
the fire. WEIGH promised to assist him, and
did So. He was one Of THE three men who
hid under tree on Tuesday night during
the storm and listened to the story told by
the girl who was with him. He heard what
she said, and being satisfied that the girl
was not Sarah Smith. he hurried around ard
headed them off. Then he struck match
and flashed il in the girls face, but she COW
cred her face he"coud not see her. Wit
ness said he was we'll acquainted with
Sarah Smith, and he failed to recognize the
voice of the woman as that of Sarah Smiths
Sarah dGnied that she had ever made any
confession to The private detective, or any
one else, and said she was not at the home
Tuesday night when girl made the alleged
confession. J.. -
he saw Sarah Smith in his store about $40
O'Clock Tuesday night. about the time Sarah
was said to have been at the home.
Policeman Matthews told of his inYeStiga-
ton Of the case.
The defendant, in his own behalf, denied
the charge. He told Of having met Sarah
Smith in the woods several times, and he
declared that she had confessed having set
fire to the place. But he was unable to ex-
plain why the girl refused to let WEIGH see
her Tuesday night. When questioned by the
court, he said he was admitted to the home
for the purpose of breaking up the speak
easies," and also to discover, if possible,
who set fire to the place.
He then charged that when searched at
the police station, he was robbed of s., and
his memorandum book destroyed.
This, Policeman Matthews charged, was a
job he wanted to put up on the police the
same as he had attempted to put up one on
the girl.
Judge Miller held the prisoner for the
grand jury. and committed him to Jail in de-
fault of $500 bail.
