NEGROES APPEAL TO SOUTH
Afro-American Council Sends Plea for Fair
Play to Governors
LAW SHOULD BE IMPARTlALL\ DEALT OUT
Legal Trial is Asked for the Accused
with the Punishment Established
by the Statutes for Those
Found Guilty.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Afro-Amer-
lean council OF the United States has issued
an appeal to the governors, legislatures and
judicial officers OF the southern states ITO
prevent lawlessness and to secure to all
citizens the protection to which they are
entitled under the laws" After reference
to the burning of Sam Hose the lynching
OF Lige Strickland and the political riots in
South Carolina and North Carolina, the APP
peal says:
"Since the lst day of January there have
been twenty-eght cases of lynching in the
south and every one Of them colored. This
is not only an unwarranted outrage upon
them, but demoralizing to the white race
1t terrorizes and unmans the former, II
famiiarzes the latter with lawlessness and
crime, creating in them contempt for law
full authority and a desire for mob rule
1t is hurtful and destructive to the best
interests OF both.
I'VE deplore, and denounce in unmeasured
terms criminal assaults upon women, By
whomsoever committed, and desire the APP
prehension and legal punishment of every
criminal guilty of the crime. All We ask
is that the regular machinery Of justice
be employed and the accused given a fail
and impartial trial-the course pursued with
white men charged with the same offense

LISTEN TO A SUGAR EXPERT
Industrial Commission Calls n Treas
ury Ohlcial-Arbucklc Asks to
he Excused.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Industrial
commission has appointed a subcommittee
to visit the northwestern states during July
and August to investigate the alleged ele-
vator trust. This committee consists of
Senator Kyle, Al Harris and e. d. Conger.
John Arbuckle. the coffee and sugar mag
nate, has asked to be excused from testify
ing before the commission. He suggested
that his manager, James n. Jarvie, be sum
mOned in his stead Mr.. Jarve will reach
Washington some time next week
The Industrial commission today listened
to a statement by S. NJ. Buynitzky, sugar
expert in the Customs bureau OF the Treasury
department, concerning the methods of de-
termining the duties on sugar. Much of his
testimony was technical. He stated that
owing to Improvements in refining pro-
cesses, there had been a slight increase in
the quantity of a refined sugar capable Of
being manufactured from 100 pounds of raw
sugar since the Dingley bill became a law.
the quantity then being nlnety-two and one
half pounds. This increase has resulted in
a slightly increased differental in favor Of
the refner. Mr.. Buynitzky said he did not
consider the differential system detrimental
to the interests of the sugar consumer and
referred to the reduction of prices of sugar
in the last twenty years as sufficient evil
dence of the soundness of his position. He,
however, considered that there was GER
tain menace in trusts and suggested as a
remedy a law giving the president power to
reduce the duty on imported articles in cases
where such articles are made the basis of a
trust in the United States.

NEWS OF CRUISER NEWARK
Consumes Unusual Time in Reaching
Port in the Straits of
Magellan.

WASHINGTON, June 1O.-The cruiser
Newark has been heard from and is undoubt-
edly safe. The following dispatch was re-
ceived this afternoon at the Navy depart
ment:
MONTEVIDEO. June 10.-Secretary Navy,
Washington; The purser of a steamer of the
Pacific Steam Navigation company, which
arrived at MOntevideo June 2. saw the New
ark enter Sandy Point May rs. COLBY.
The above dispatch, it is said at the Navy
department, shows that while the Newark
was very much overdue at Sandy Point,
which is in the Straits Of Magellan it is not
overdue from that point to Valparaiso.
The signer Of the dispatch Is Commander
Harrison G. Colby, captain of the Marble
head, which is following Tie Newark around
South America, and who has recently ar
rived at Montevideo himself. 1t is the
opinion of the naval officers at the depart
ment that the Newark met with bad
weather on the way south from Montevideo
and was perhaps driven out of its course
so that it was greatly delayed In getting
into the Straits of Magellan However, as
it was near Sandy Point on May 2S, only
twelve days ago and certainly stopped in
the straits several days TO coal, 1t is now
no longer overdue at Valparaiso.

LAUNCH BIG TORPEDO BUAT
Finest Craft of the Kind in the
New Navy is the Admiral
StrinSham.

WILMINGTON, Del, June 10.-The tor
pedo boat Stringham, which the Harlan &
Hollingsworth company is building for the
government, was launched today.
Miss Edwina Strir CHAM Creighton, grand
daughter of the late Admiral Stringham and
daughter OF the late Rear Admiral Cregh-
ton, gave the vessel it's name. There We're
guests from New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington. The Washington
party comprised Charles H. Allen, assistant
secretary of the favy; Major General Nelson
A. Miles and wife, Rear Admiral Hichborn
and wife, Judge Advocate General Lemley
Captain Dawson. Naval Constructor Spear
and wife, Naval Constructor Taylor, Rear
Admiral and Mrs. Endicott and others.
The Stringham is the largest and most
costly torpedo boat designed for the govern
ment and upon completion will be the pio-
neer of the ocean going boats of its class. It's
guaranteed speed is thirty knots an hour.
The construction of the vessel was authorized
in March, 1897, and the following July the
contract was awarded. The keel was laid
March 81, 1898. Its length is 225 feet,
breadth twenty-five feet, mean draught six
feet six inches and displacement $40 tons.
This is seventy tons more than the Farragut
and twice as large as any other American
torpedo boat built or building. 1t will have
two vertical triple expansion engines of
combined 1900 horse power, which is greater
than that of the cruisers Detroit and Mont
gomery, 2,O0O-ton ships, and nearly twice as
great as that of the Atlanta and Boston. The
Strngham will have a bunker capacity OF
12O tons of coal, which will enable it to steam
straight away over thousand knots. Its
armament will consist of two eighteen-inch
Whitehead torpedo tubes and seven six
FOUNDER semi guns and will be
fought by a complement of four officers and
twenty eight men. The vessel is named
after Rear Admiral Silas Norton Stringham
who died in Brooklyn at the age of rs years
after a service of siXty-seven years in the
navy, starting at the age of II years as a
/ midshipman.

FIGHTING WITH A TOUGH PAIR
Two Detectives Have Hard Time
While Arresting n Brace of
Fad Men.

"A desperate fight between two detectives
and two men under arrest took place last
night at Sixteenth and Chicago streets. One
of the officers was badly bruised in the
fray but the prisoners were overpowered
and handcuffed in time to prevent their
escape
The detectives were Drummy and Heelan
and John Delbridge and John Sutton We're
the men in custody. Delbridge and Sutton
are notorious thieves, having been released
only recently from the county Jail, where
they have served sentences for larceny.
The men were arrested at Sixteenth and
Davenport streets. They made no resist
ance and accompanied the detectives to the
telephone box, block distant. While wait
ing for the patrol wagon, Sutton uneN-
pectedy landed a straight from the shoulder
blow on Detective Drummy's chin and at
tempted to break away. At the same in
slant Delbrdge tried to duplicate the feat
on Detective Heelan. There was lively
struggle for few minutes, blows and kicks
being exchanged rapidly. The detectives
used the heavy ends of pistols and hand
cuffs as weapons and finally enforced sub
mission. Detective Drummy was severely
bruised about the face and one of the bones
in his right hand was broken by blow
he landed on Sutton's head. The men were
charged with being suspicious characters.
