A RACE WAR IS IMMINENT IN AR
KANSAS.
Old Mountaineers Who Object to the
Presence of Negroes Who Are En-
gagged in the Construction of a
Hallway.

TEXARKANA, Ark, Aug. GA
war between whites and negroes is i'm
minent in Polk county, Arkansas, on
the line of construction of the Texar-
kama and Fort Smith railroad. 1t
seems that the hardy old mountaineers
of that section have not allowed any
negroes to stop in that section for two
years The contractors building the
railroad now under construction are
employing colored labor, and as re-
suit the natives have served notice on
them that Sambo must move on, as it
is against their religion to permit them
to desecrate their soil with pick and
shovel or otherwise.
AS a last resort Contractor D. ]. Nc
Donald came here and employed force
of twenty guards to protect the negro
laborers, and these, armed with Win
chesters, have left for the scene of
the prospective trouble.
The railroad people express their
purpose to protect their rights, and as
the other side is known to be equally
determined serious trouble is almost
certain to follow.

CALLED HOME.
Nlrs. Anitn Hicks-Lord.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6-4Irs. Anita
Hicks-Lord, VINO was in her day one of
the notable figures of New York So
ciety, died last night, aged 81. Mrs
Hicks-Lord was descendant on her
mothers side from a titled English
family and was related to General
Robert Scneneck, once United States
minister to Great Britain. Her father.
EJlnico Peter Wilkins, married Adelene
Scheneck, whose family had a. great
dead of property on FiShkin river. The
couple went to Guiana where Anita was
BORN Subsequently, the Wilkins fam
lily returned to this state making
their home at Matteawan. Anita at %
was married to Thomas Hicks,
wealthy merchant of twice as many
years as her own. Her marriage set
Element included considera bic property
at Toledo, which, when Hicks failed a.
few years later, gave his wife am in
come sufficient for the maintenance of
both until her husband died. The
widows fortune was increased by an
inheritance from relatives in Holland,
so she was able to entertain most Law
ishly, her receptions being among the
most noteworthy of the period in New
York. Then Mrs. Hicks went to Eng
EadlQ, AND as a relative TO the United
States minister was presented to Queen
Victoria. Her establishment there was
as celebrated in its way as had been her
New York home After Mrs Hicks
returned to America, Thomas Lord, an
octogeuarian dry goods merchant with
a. fortune OF Sc, 1000 900 paid suite TO her
and in 1877 they were married. Six
children of Mr.. Lord sought to have
the marriage set aside on the ground
of the mental incapacity of Lord. The
couple, however, so completely seclud-
ed themselves in tine wifes home in
Fourteenth street that for months the
relatives could not reach them. The
relatives finally abandoned him. Two
years later he died. After a proper
season of mourning the widow re-
entered society, her entertainments
taking even greater nagnifcence than
these of her early career. Recently
her health failed and she Travelled ex-
tensively. She also devoted much Of
her thoughts and money to religion
A few years ago her fortune was es-
tfmated at 100000, not taking into
account a magnificent collection Of
plate canoes and rUbieS.

A Wholesale Case at OklmuIga, the
CAPITAL of the Creek Nation.

A Wholesale Case at OklmuIga, the
Capital of the Creek Nation.
PERRY, o. T., Aug. 6.-The final
decree has been promulgated from
Oklmulga, the capital of the Creek ma
ton, as it had been handed down by
Judge Adams. chief justice of the
supreme court of the nation, in the
citizenship case. It strikes from the
rolls of citizenship of the nation the
names of over LOO negroes. The de-
cision held that the action of the
Indian council, after the passage of the
emancipation act by the United States,
in admitting the negroes to tribal re
latious was unconstitutional, and
therefore at this time invalid Since
the passage of the act these negroes
have drawn in annuities S1,000,0O0 from
the Greek government; have held po-
sitionS of political trust and have
improved their farms and, educated
their children at the natiIln's expense
for twenty years. From the decision
of the court there is no appeal. The
interior department. has held to the
same opinion in a similar case. The
Dawes commission, which has been
appealed to by the depoeed negroes,
claims it has no right to interfere
with the decisinn of the Indian court.

BEFORE DECENTRALIZATION.

Before characterization both
metals constituted the redemp-
ton money of the world; and as
both metals existed in about
the same quantities, it gave US
twice as much money of re-
demption as gold alone will now
furnish US. There is in the world
now, according to the report Of
the director OF our mint, $3.727,-
O1S.S69 in gold. and $3.50, 81. 346
in silver. The dislocation of the
parity of the two metals by the
demonstration of silver, and
the attempt to maintain our
credit in gold, has reduced the
redemption money of the world
from 1851, 59O,215 to 1921, 01S,-
S69, or q little less than one
half the original amount

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6.-After
months OF skirmishing and sparring for
position among the army of attorneys
involved, order has BEEN finally secured
in the Fair litigation, and the trial of
one of the greatest will contests in the
history of the United States is now at
hand.
By an order issued by Judge Slack
yesterday, the merits of the so-called
pencil will, the document produced by
Mrs. NeGtie r. Craven as the last tes-
tamentary disposition by millionaire
James G.. Fair of his millions of money
and property, is to be decided at once
and legal pickering ON the part of
lawyers will give way to determina-
ton of fact and issue.
Fair has been dead almost two years,
but it was not until today that defin-
lite move in
THE COMPLICATED LEGAL FIGHT
was made. There have been motions
and counter motions, demurrers and
cross complaints and all the other end
less tactics for which law and lawyers
are famous. Some twenty millions are
involved in this, the biggest law suit of
California, and almost as many en-
de6cSVors have been made to postpone
the final trial of the case.
A will has been stolen from under the
very nose of the court clerks and a
second will flied. A widow has arisen
by virtue of her assertion that she was
married by contract TO the mining
king, to claim a million and half of his
property, and has filed deeds to sub
sItantiate her claim. Charles L. Fair
has disputed Mrs. Craven's claims. His
sisters Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia
Fair, have maintained a. neutral po-
sition on the ground that they knew
nothing of the facts connected with this
particular phase of the case. And now
Judge Slack is going to
PULL THE CHESTNUT OUT OF
THE FIRE
and see what the meat is.
If the so-called pencil will is genuine,
that is an end to it. The estate will be
distributed according to it's provisions.
If the pencil will is spurious well,
there will be more fun for the lawyers.
The trial of the pencil will has been
ordered to proceed at once by jury.
There are some minor legal technicali-
ties to be cleared away, and Monday
next has been set for hearing them
Barring accident or unforeseen delays,
the pencM Will CONTEST ought " ueSAi
Within ten days. How long it will last
is a. matter of doubt The Blythe case
was in court for years and it took thir-
teen months to hear the evidence, and
Senator Fair left three times as much
money as Blythe.
George A. knight thinks he can win
a. case for his cl:enr, Charles L. Fair,
and disable Mrs. Craven and her
claims, in sixty days. But others doubt
knights ability to settle the question
so quickly. 1t was said today that the
trial of the pencil will might consume
a. year. There are scores of witnesses
to be heard and back of it all is a
$50. 600 900 stake.

nation characterized the stock mar
kets here today. The closing was fat
on Americans. That market opened
dull and soon fell sharply on sales
from Glasgow and from the Kaffir
clique here and also by bear opera
tors. This combined selling in the alb
sence of all support had a demoraliz-
ing effect and prices closed at the low
est. Most of the other markets were
weak, but foreign stocks were better
on Paris support.
The demand for gold steadily in
creases.
The Paris bourse opened distinctly
better on the conclusion of the settle
ment and the closing was quieter.
The Berlin market was steady.

TOOK a HOPEFUL VIEW.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6-Professor Ber-

political science department of the Uni
versity of California, delivered a lee
ture to a large audience last evening
on ''The Laborers' Expectation of So
cialism." He took hopeful view of
the situation.
Men in this decade" said the lee
turer, have an increasing faith in
the effiacacy of the government as
agent, and are finding more and more
things they can do by cooperation.
This indicates in the society of today
there is a movement towards a condi-
ton akin to that contemplated in the
