PLEA FOR HUMANITY.
DR.. Swan Urges Better Care For In
digent Sick.

Dr.W. B. Swan, secretary of the state
board Of health. will in his forthcoming
annual report call the attention of the
governor to the condition now existing
in Shawnee and many other Kansas
counties in reference to medical and
surgical care of the poor. He will COM
ment in strong terms on the efforts of
the city and county authorities in the
majority of instances to shift the re-
sponsibility.
I'm Shawnee county there are no IA
cilities for caring for the sick and in
jured poor said DR.. Swan, and this
is true of practically all Kansas coun-
ties. In cases of injury to tramps or
extremely poor residents the city and
county authorities Immediately engage
in a struggle to unload the RESPONSE
bility. It is an fnhuInan state of affairs,
and something that cries out for legis-
latiye action

Mr.. Editor:-

Mr.. Editor:-
Through your paper wish to call the
attention or our race as far as possible
to the fact that the Census bureau is
planning to make q special effort during
the taking of the census in June TO
Ind the exact amount OF property OF
every description that is owned by
the Negro race. This means great
deal to as ss q people, as we will be
very largely judged by the world by
the result. sI5 is of the utmost impor-
lance that eacn individual member of
the race IN every part OF the country
begin at once to make Q careful list of
the amount and value of the property
that he owns so as TO be ready to give
it at once to the census taker. 1t is
also important that as far as possible
ministers and teachers call the atten-
tIon OF the people to this matter as far
in advance AS may be Thoughts best.

st. Louis, May 9.-In accordance
with the decision reached by the st.
Louis Transit company's employees, a
general strike was inaugurated on the
entire system at daybreak yesterday.
NO cars were in operation, save a few
on the Park Avenue division. The
hrst car on this division left the sheds
at O'Clock. The strikers at the sheds
did not attempt to prevent the crews
from taking the cars out. The crews
were allowed to run the cars unmo-
Tested until 12:45 o'clock, when car
No. 5 of the Park Avenue division was
badly wrecked on Webster avenue by
q volley of stones thrown by a crowd
OF men and boys.
The suburban line, many OF the en-
ployes OF which had been on a strike
for several days, was also tied up af-
ter the early morning hours. Cars
were run as far east as Thirteenth
street, but when efforts were made to
bring them down town crowds of
strikers and sympathizers interfered
with the crews and in several cases
dragged them off the cars.
From time to time during the after
noon and night attempts were made to
operate the cars, but In nearly every
case resulted in attacks on the crews
by crowds along the streets, practi-
cally stopping traffic. The strikers de-
clare that they have had no active
part In the hostile demonstrations.
