APPEAL TO THE SOUTH
AFRO-AsIERICAN LEAGUE ASKS PRO-
LECTION FOR NEGROES.
Wants Fair Trial and Lawful Pun
inaIIy Assault White Women.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Afro
American Council of the United States
issued appeal TO the Governors, legis-
lators 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 refer
ence to the burning Of Sam Hose, the lynch
ing of Lge Strickland and the political
riots in South Carolina and North Carolina,
the appeal says:
Since the 1st day of January there have
been twenty-eight 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 humans the former. 1t
famiIiarizes the latter with Iawlessness and
crime. creating in them contempt for lawful
authority and desire for mob rule. 1t is
hurtful and destructive to the best interests
of both.
I'VE deplore condemn and denounce in un-
measured terms criminal assaults upon
women by whomsoever committed and desire
the apprehension 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 fair
anu tIldi-lne course pursued WITH
white men charged with the same offense.
I'm most of the Southern States your peo-
pie are in the majority and in all of them
you are in absolute control. Every branch
of the overnment-executive, legislative
and judicial-is in your hands. The judges
are all white men and the jurors are almost
exclusively composed Of white men Colored
offenders have little chance for escape
when guilty Of petty offense, and if guilty
OF serious crime their conviction is GER
tain. This fact is known to all men. There

crime and that inhuman and barbarous
methods have no terror for criminals The

will more thoroughly and completely rid
communities of these miscreants than the
brutal acts of bloodthirsty and irresponsible
mobs. The appeal closes as follows:
Your oath of office imposes upon you the
duty to execute the laws and protect the
people, irrespective of race or color. The
reputation of your State, your honor and the
honor and reputation of your people demand
that you rise TO the level of the occasion
vindicate your assumption of the capacity
to rule by the restoration of the majesty

ARBITRATION PROPOSALS.
Americans still Hopeful of Seeing
Some of Their Ideas AdOpted.

THE HAGUE. June t0.-The chief dele
gates to the peace conference met to-day
TO discuss German complaints against the
secrecy imposed on the delegates and the
misleading reports published. and 1t is un-
derstood that Count Munster. head of the
German delegation, was instructed to pro-
pose that the protocols for the plenary sit
tirgs OF the committees be published i'm
n ediateiy after they are drawn up.
American delegates tell the representa-
tive here of the Associated Press that they
are still confident of the adoption of some
of their chief projects for arbitration, but
the preliminary discussion yesterday indi-
Gates the impossibility of maintaining them
all. For instance. ii is impossible to carry
the proposal that the judges of the arbi-
tration tribunal be elected by the highest
court OF justice of each country. as some
of the European countries do not possess
judicial organization permitting such pro-
cedure. II Is expected the likeliest out
&C me will be each country will be free to
choose the manner of nominating its own
Judges. The Americans propose to Insist on
permanent tribunal If this Is impossible
they hope to obtain at any rate the insti-
tuition of permanent commission They
will also insist on other points.

occupied there. The Americans three weeks
ago were forced to camp outside the walls
