Waco Texas. August 26.-When the
board of trustees of Baylor University
elected DR.. Rufus C. Burleson president
for life on the same salary he received
before 1t was generally believed that such
action was complimentary to the venerable
educator II transpires. however. that Dr.
Burleson's official connection with the
university is practically severed. AS this
condition of affairs began to dawn upon the
friends of the old pioneer protests began
to appear. the first from the Corscana AS
ISOLATION of Baptist Churches followed by
others, and more recently the Crockett as
ISOLATION. An Endorsement of the trustees
by the students here, which was published
In the local papers, did not have the de-
sired effect, and the columns OF the Bap-
tist papers have been illumined with a
very suggestive halo for several weeks
The controversy seems to be getting very
spirited, and when the Baptist general
convention meets in Weatherford October
S there will be perhaps ore OF the liyelest
discussions that body ever witnessed. DR.
A. S. Hayden OF Dallas. editor of the
Texas Baptist and Herald, has espoused
DR.. Burleson's cause. while DR.. j. B.
Cranfill, editor of the Baptist Standard OF
Waco, Is defending the trustees. Baptist
circles here are divided. just as they seem

NEGROES ARE WARNED
WALTERS At HIGH ISLAND TOLD
TO LEAVE.
The Men Afraid to Sleep In Their
Regular Quarters and Now
Housed mt the Hotel.

Galveston, Texas. August 26.-The on
tlpathy to negroes. which has been caus-
Ing trouble up In Fannin county, seems
TO have broken out in South TEXAS. At
High Island. the popular little resort on
the Gulf and Interstate. between here and
Beaumont. the three negro walters at the
hotel have been warned to leave the coun-
try.
This news was brought to town yester-
day evening by a gentleman who had been
spending two or three days there. He COM
who sent a deputy to High Island on the
Gulf ard Interstate this afternoon.
The warning was given Monday evening
when n white citizen of the .ieighborhood
went to the hotel and frankly told the
throc negro walters that his neghbors had
resolved to run them ont of the country
He told the proprietor. C. L. Nash. that
the negro cook would be allowed to re-
main.
The negroes were naturally much
slarmed and Immediately packed their
belongings and prepared to emigrate. But
Proprietor Nash came to their Eescue and
guaranteed them protection. Since then
they have been afraid to sleep in their reg
ular quarters adjoining the hotel. and Mr..
Nash has allowed them to sleep in the
third story OF the main building.
Mr.. Nash has protested and temporizei
with the white men causing the trouble
until he couln communicate with Sheriff
Thomas.
One of the men offered to take the cook S
place at SIS a month, and another prof
fored his services as waiter.
The best citizens have taken no part in
| the movement. but It seems there arc
enough imbued with antipathy to the ne
| groes, or wanting their jobs. to overawe
the others and give fair prospects OF exc
cutting their threats.
| The hotel at High Island has been re-
| Gently opened, and as there Is little popu-
lation outside OF the country residents, ex-
| pert walters are hard to got and Mr..
! Nash is quite averse to having his busi-
ness handicapped by the efforts of cow
boys and farm hands to wait upon his
| guests.
| There has been no violence and 1t Is be
lieved that the presence of deputy sheriff
viii have reassuring effect.
