REVIVAL OF SLAVERY METHOD

Young Negro Sentenced to Be Lashed
Every Day for a Month.
A sentence just passed by the Atlanta,
Ga, city court upon Joe Lee, 10-year-
old negro boy, is creating a great deal of
comment. 1t is that he be confined in the
city stockade and whipped by one of the
officers every day for thirty days. There
is no law for this. The case, however, is
exceptional. While Lee is young in years
and small in stature, he is desperate.
He made several attempts to kill his sis
ter, and the last attempt came near sue
ceeding. AS a consequence she had him
locked up at the station house. The off,
Gals held a conference, and then asked
the sister, as the boys natural guardian.
for her permission to lock him up and lash
him for thirty days. She gave her can
sent.

Central Americans May Fight.

There is a general impression among
Pan-American diplomats in Washington
that Costa Kica and Nicaragua are very
near war. Both Governments have as
sumed belligerent attitudes, according to
information which has reached Washing
ton, and it is the expectation of Central
Americans in that city that President Ze-
laya will demand disavowal of Costa
Rica's responsibility in connection with
the revolution in San Juan del Sur.
Whether the president Of Costa RIGA will
comply with President Zelaya's demand
and whether Nicaragua will have the sup
port of Salvador and Honduras in case of
war, are questions which Pan-Americans
are asking each other. Those in touch
with the Costa Rica legation in Washing
ton express the opinion that that Govern
ment will not comply with the prospective
demand Of the Nicaraguan president, and
in this event war is likely to follow. All
is quiet at San Juan del Sur. Large bod
les Of troops are now on the Costa Rican
frontier, to cut off the return Of the rebel
invaders, whose flight before Government
forces took them into the interior Of Costa
RIGA. Many prisoners have been sent to
Rivas for trial. OF these, it is probable
that several of the most prominent will be
shot.
