For the first time in 20 years the gu

illness of Governor Greenhalge, accord
ing to the constitution, Lieutenant Gov

Tuskegee negro conference, under the
auspices of the Normal and Industrial
Institute in the Black Belt of the south,
convened here today, with Booker 4.
Washington, who since the Atlanta ex-

pie an opportunity of presenting state
ments regarding their present religious.
educational and industrial conditions,
and to subml. suggestions concerning
remedies for present conditions inimical
to the progress of the race. In his OPEN

upon the remarkable fact that, in order
to aid the movement, many of the col

MAYOR sUTRO IN A RAGE
Furious Because His Letters Regarding
Huntington Were Seized.


San Francisco, March 5.-Mayor Su-
tro was furious when he heard of the
seizure by the postoffice authorities of
his communications to the congressman
and senators at Washington, warning
them of the schemes of Huntington to
compass the passage of the funding
bill.
His anger was occasioned not so
much by the stoppage of the letters as
from the fact that he had not been no.
titled by the postmaster He con-
sidered that the holding of letters had
caused the loss of valuable time in the
fight against the funding bill, and that
he should have been told that the de-
partment considered the envelopes OBJ
jectionable, so that he might have de-
vised other means of placing them in
the hands of members of congress.
The inscription on the envelope, in the
opinion of the mayor, was nothing but
the expression of truth and therefore
not in the least libelous or scurrilous.
He believes that the statement that
Huntington would not steal a red hot
stove" with the inference that he might
be capable of stealing something. more
valuable and easier handled to be
strictly In accordance with veracity in
the light of past events and wonders
that the postoffice should seize upon
such an expression to stop the mlssives
to the men he wishes to reach.

MUSICIANS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE
War May Be Carried Into the Nominat-
ing Conventions.

st. Louis, March cit is not improb-
able that, as a result of the war be
tween the Theatrical Stage Employees
Union and the National League of Mu~
sicians. the committee on arrangements
for the republican national convention
may. arrive at the decision, "A plague
o. both your houses" and conclude that
the gathering can get through with its
oratory, its platform and its president
and vice president making without the
accomplishments of Hail, Columbia"
Rally Round the Flag, Boys" 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" and the patri-
otto melodies with which previous gath
erings of the kind have been enliv
ened.
The trouble between the two organiza-
lions is national in its character, and
the local branch of the theatrical stage
union has decided to make proposition
to furnish the convention with an or
chestra of 100 pieces free of charge, with
the provision that no negotiations shall
be entered into between the national
league of musicians. The latter or
ganization, it Is understood, will make
a similar proposition. and the fight for
supremacy will be waged even If the
lives of the members of the RESPONSE
BILE committee are made burden. The
same tactics are to be pursued with
the democratic convention in Chicago.
Previous experiences. however. have
indicated that the orchestra end of ma
tional political conventions is some
times very much of nuisance, especial
ly when the electrical attachment be-
tween the chairman's desk and the band
gallery refuses to work, as was the
case at the republican convention in
Minneapolis four years ago, when on
one occasion it took 20 minutes for a
messenger to reach the gallery and
stem off the music that had been I'M
guardedly started at a critical mo-
ment, and the local committee may
therefore be glad of the bitter war be-
tween the rival labor unions, as an ex-
cuse to dispense with music altogether.

ST. LOUIS TO ENTERTAIN HIN
Cardinal Satolli's Visit VIII BE Me-
morable Event.

St. Louis. March 6.-All the arrange
ments have been perfected by the var
iOus committees for the reception to
Cardinal Satolli, and which will be an
event memorable in the history of the
Roman Catholic church in this diocese.

bly, might be delayed until early Sun

tificating. dinner at the seminary on
Cass street, where he will be entertain

DEATH RATE Is INCREASING
National Union Voting on Increasing
the Assessment of Members.

the Assessment of Members
Toledo, Ohio, March 6.-The scores of
thousands of members scattered
throughout the country of the secret
beneficial society known as the Ma
tional Union, and which has its general
offices in this city, are voting by mail
this week upon a proposition to in
crease the rates of each assessment,
with a view to a reduction in the num-
Der called. During the past two years
the large number of double assessments
in this order has created considerable
comment. and the senate, or supreme
body, has issued a statement to the
members, upon which the ballot is
asked.
1t Is admitted the advancing age of
the order is causing a gradual increase
in the death rate, but figures are given
tending to show that in the aggregate
the rates of the organization are so
much less than those of other organic
ations as to make it imperative that
a greater number of assessments be
called to produce an equivalent amount.
The senate admits, however, that I'M
favorable comparisons have been made,
based solely on the number of ASSESS
ments without regard TO the yearly
amount paid, and that unthinking men,
bers have thus been led to drop out
through a mistaken idea regarding the
total cost. The ballot being taken this
week is a elimination of a considera-
ton of the matter by the senate ex-
tending over two years. and the out
come will be of interest to beneficiary
assessment societies of all kinds, as
well as to the "old line" insurance ele-
ment.
