tout-Gardner contest, but that catastrophe
Will clnch the matter. Mayor Black, of
Columbus, refused to issue ii permit for the
NIcCoy-Ruhlin affair. claiming that the
Business Mems Athletic Club. under whose
auspices the battle was TO be fought, had
no authority for the statement that the

asked to take this position of opposition by
representatives of the club. who feared they

lision of Sheriff Carnes not to interrupt or
interfere with any scientific contest where
gloves are used. Sheriff Carnes was ap-
preached by patrons of pugilsm in an effort

of frequent prize fights, but II has not been

THE SYNDICATE" AWAKE.
Various Movements Against the Out
side Breweries.

There is talk of passing an ordinance ex-
tending the jurisdiction of the brewery
license ordinance four miles beyond the city
limit. This is brought about by the fact
that the Madison Brewery Company evades
paying the tax, as it's place of business is
just without the limit of West indianapolis,
where 1T moved to escape the tax when the
law was passed some time ago. 1t is likely
that the city attorney will first bring suit
to collect the money which Controller john
son thinks should be paid-$1,OO0 a year. If
the suit fails, the ordinance may be intro
duced in Council.
Jacob Metzger and f. c. Wellmann, of
the Metzger firm of beer bottlers, were ar
rested on the charge of selling liquor with
out a license. In Police Court yesterday,
a continuance was granted until April Is.
The arrest was made on warrant sworn
out by License Inspector Manning. 1t is
charged that while the Metzger Company
supplies the trade with bottled beer, the
same as the regular brewing companies, it
has failed to take out brewers license.

Little Probability of Troops Gather
ing Here Next Week.

An apparently authentic report was out
last night that orders had been given TO
| mobilize the Indiana militia at indianapolis
not later than next Tuesday, to be held sub
ject to the call of General Alger, secretary
of war. Colonel Wilson, the Governor $
private secretary. was aroused from his bed
at an early hour this morning ami Dues
toned about the report. He said:
There has never been any communities
ton between this State and the national
government on the subject. The report
that the troops are to be mobllized here
is probably a natural conclusion, but
it comes without official authority III the
troops are called ont they will probably be
modified here, and it did not take very
good guesser to start that report But 1t
has been settled apparently that only one
regiment besides Battery is to be asked
from Indiana on the first call, ana 1T IS
likely that this Will be the Second Regi-
ment. most of the companies of which are
of this city: There would not, therefore, he
much modifying. -
A dispatch this morning from the jour
nails Washington correspondent had the
following to say:
when the call for troops is made Gov
ernors of States will have the unques.oned
right to designate what regiments or parts
of regiments of state militia shall be called
upon. From Indiana, where there are three
regiments or artillery ana three Oh infantry
in the National Guard two regiments will
probably go to the front on the first requi-
sition. The famous Indianapolis Light Ar
tillery will be honored, that is certain; but
it does not follow that any single infantry
regiment will be designated. By an ar
rangement with the three. colonies the Gov
ernor might take companies from the three
regiments and consolidate them into new
regiment, or he could If he wanted to, make
the move without consultation. When reg
iments of state militia are formed they Will
not go into encampments at state capitals
but will be modified at Atlanta or some
other point most advantageous FOR military
purposes, assigned to duty on the seacoast

THE CoIoRED TROOPS.
Indignation Meeting DenOuncing Ac-
ton of Ex-State and State Officials.

There was a mass meeting of colored citi-
zens IT I'd Fellows Hall on Indiana ave-
nue. last night to discuss the action of the
state authorities in mastering out of serv-
ice the colored militia companies The
meeting was called to order by G. nj. Z.
Willis. j. II. Lott was made chairman and
James Shelton secretary.
In stating the purpose of the meeting Mr..
Lott called attention to an article III an
afternoon paper which stated that meet
ing was 10 he held to denounce Governor
Mount and the Republican party. II do
not know who was responsible for that
statement" said Mr.. Lott, "but desire
to say at the outset that it is false and
misleading. We have not met to denounce
anybody. We meet as citizens-I had al
most said as Republicans-to express re-
greet that certain things have taken place
under two administrations and to condemn
the actions of certain persons under those
two administrations. If any one came here
expecting to make political capital out of
this meeting he will be disappointed
Mr.. Lott said that the bravery and pa
triotism Of colored people was a matter of
history. and ii was with regret they learned
the state officials had seen fit to muster out
two companies on the verge of war crisis
when tIiey We're anxious TO AGAIN demon
strate their soldierly qualities
On motion Mr.. Lott appointed commit
tee of five to prepare resolutions, consisting
Of Dr. S. A. Furniss, Charles w. Brown, J.
A. Puryear c. Nj. c. Willis and Joseph
Broyles. When the committee retired there
were calls for speeches. w. II. Jackson was
the first. 1t was matter of regret that
the authorities had decided to muster out
the companies, but that was only the re-
suit of a policy inaugurated by Governor
Matthews, who took 1t into his head to
separate the colored militia from the regi-
iuents," said he. I'VE have let it run too
far. Right then and there it should have
E~en nipped in the bud. The blame should
be conferred where ii commenced. We are
not here TO make political capital. We
should blame those who started this. The
colored men preferred to be mustered out
not because they were towards not be-
cause they were afraid, but because they
were mistreated."

cal speakers. He has been one of the most
active I'm the present controversy. He said

G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT DATES
Two Congregational Conventions Con-
Hict with Them.

Members of the Grand Army are annoyed
over a conflict Of dates which may cut
down the attendance at the State Encamp-
ment, TO be held at Columbus May Is and
10. 1t has lately been ascertained that two
of the congressional district Republican
conventions have been set for May 10. They
are the Eleventh and Twelfth districts. In
the Eleventh district Major Steele the pres
ent member of Congress, is a candidate
for a denomination. He is an old soldier
and has many friends among the veterans,
who, it is thought, will prefer to attend
the convention and assist him to attending
the encampment. An effort will be made
to try To have the dates of the conventions
changed. 1t will be impossible now to
change the date of the encampment. 1t was
decided on last December and has been
published in general orders, and ii would
probably now be impossible 10 advertise the
change so that il would be known by all
the veterans of the State.

The first aeronaut to volunteer his serv-
ices to the Governor i'll case of war, sent

A new smokeless powder has been invent
ed by Ansil r. Moffett, a chemist of this
city. 1t is claimed for it that it has many
advantages over the other smokeless pow
ders already in use. The powder is white,
almost like flour, but Mr.. Moffett claims
for it a, strength of So per cent. of that of
dynamite. 1t will explode only when con-
fined, he says. When merely spread out on
a fiat surface and ignited it will burn with
absolutely no danger and without even a
fash. 1t has been tested in blasting stumps
and stone, and Mr.. Moffett says its value
has been clearly demonstrated. The explo-
sion is accompanied by a flash and loud
report, but produces no smoke.

AN OHIO SENSATION.
Report That John r. Mclean W
Enter McKinIey'S Cabinet.

Report That John r. Mclean Will
Enter McKinley's Cabinet.
Dayton, O., Aug. 23.-A special from
the Cincinnati Tines-Star was repro
duced in the papers here that John r.
Mclean would not be represented by
Chairman Dan McConville, Lewis q.
Bernard or any other Of his former
lieutenants who are in the Democratic
state convention, and the reason for
him not taking part was said to be due
to the report that John r. Mclean is
to succeed General R. A. Alger as Sec
rotary Of war In McKinley's cabinet.
This caused more stir among the dele
gates than anything that has been
sprung for years at Ohio conventions.
Although Mclean was prominently
before the last Democratic convention
for the presidential nomination, and
would have been elected senator in
place Of Hanna If the Democrats had
carried the legislature last November,
and although his paper, the Cincinnati
Enquirer, was considered a leading ad-
vocate of Bryan and free silver, the
story about Mclean probably becoming
the successor of Alger was believed by
many of the delegates. They cited the
case Of Hayes appointing Keys, a
southern Democrat, as his postmaster
general, and later of Cleveland making
Gresham his secretary of state, and
said that Mckinley had appointed Lee,
Wheeler and other Democrats to lead
ing places and that greater surprises
in politics than this had happened. 1t
was conceded if Mclean should be-
come McKinley's secretary Of war, and
the Cincinnati Enquirer an admins
tration paper, that it would cause po-
litical revolution, as Mclean and his
paper have been the most potential
factors in this state, as we'll as in
Kentucky, Indiana and other states for
free silver.
While some delegates are busy de-
nouncing the story as an ante-conven-
ton sensation, and ridiculously abb
surd, it is certainly commanding more
attention than other matters which are
not disputed.

Connscated Supplies and Personal
Effects Of Our Soldiers.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 23.-On the
breaking up of General Wheeler's camp
on the Caney road on Friday the tents
and general equipment Of the division
headquarters were left in charge of the
quartermasters department. During
the night the Cubans stealthily con-
fiscated all the tents, stores, arms
and personal effects of the soldiers.
There is no clew to the robbers. On
Saturday General Lawton ordered the
ammunition and arms to be brought
into town, but it was too late. Every
thing was gone.
General Kent's brigade, stationed
three miles from Santiago, also lost
their tents, and the soldiers marched
into town barefooted, their shoes and
everything portable having been stolen,
the Cubans equipping themselves with
the arms, tents and provisions of the
Americans. They are continually stalk
ing about the camps, and constant
vigilance is necessary.
There are ass patients in the hospital
at Siboney. and the authorities urge
their immediate removal. Climatic de-
bility is as bad as the fever. The doc
tors say that delay in moving the
patients will menace their lives. The
death rate is high.

AccoMAo COURT HOUSE, VA.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 81, 1928.
Entered st the Postoffice at Accomao
G. H., Va, as second-class matter.

General Fitzhugh Lee has an,
nounced his candidacy for the United
States Senate and the fight, there
fore, is on in earnest between him
and the Hon. Thomas Martin for the
seat in the Senate, now filled by the
latter. The fight will be a bitter one,
perhaps, and go very far to decide
whether the people or the bosses are
to rule Virginia. Lee will have the
people behind him in the contest.
Martin, it is said, has a strong hold
on the young politicians and that
many of the men in Office in Virginia
are under obligations to him. The
people are for Lee, because he has
filled every place to which he has
been called either in peace or in war
with credit to himself and to their
satisfaction. The politicians are for
Martin because he is for them. The
people have confidence in Lee and
love and trust him. Martin is adj
mired by his followers, because he is
master in politics and usually "gets
there" Lee ought to be the winner
in the fight and will be if the people
have their way in the matter.

The twenty-first annual fair of the
Eastern Shore Agricultural Associa-
ton closed on yesterday with success
in every way very gratifying to the
thousands of people in attendance.
1t was success this year not only in
attendance, and therefore financially,
but in the other requirements OF a
frst-class county fair. Every de-
partment was full of exhibits of best
quality. The speed trials were up to
public expectation, the amusements,
provided by the managers were pleas
ing to the people and good order
prevailed throughout the entire tair.
1t will be held another year, despite
the predictions of some to the con-
trary, and though unlike the brook, it
may not go on forever, the indications
are that it has long lease of life
ahead of it, and will certainly con-
tinue to run so long as it is under its
present efficient management.
