CONDEMN LYNlHING
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Elk.
PRESSES ITS VIEWS.
Recent Killings at Pierce, MO-, De-
nounced as Acts OF Madness
and an Atrocity.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated FreSS.)
Chicago, Aug. 22.-Delegates to the
second annual convention of the Negro
Business League, which is in session in
Handel Hall, declares the lynching at
Pierce City, Mo-, an act of madness and
an atrocity.
The fact that within few hundred
miles of Chicago the citizens of a town
had proclaimed that no negro will be
permitted there to live, or spend the
night, astonished the delegates.
Booker T. Washington president of the
league and leader of the convention.
would not talk about the affair. He said
it would be too difficult to express him.
self so that he would not be misunder-
stood.
1T is disgrace b American civiliza-
ton that such atrocities are committed,
said Edward E. Cooper, of Washington.
Look at the participants as individuals
the black who committed crome against
a woman, and the whites who committed
a crime against innocent persons-do
they not stand on the same plane?"
Other prominent delegates expressed
similar sentiments.

A. W. BoTKIN, LIVINGSTON

The semi-finals in the state tennis
tournament are being played today, and
a large number of spectators is watch
ing the game with great interest.
Rotkin of Livingston and Busch of
Eutte were the winners in the singles
and will meet tomorrow for the tourna-
ment championship. BOtkin defeated
Armstrong, 6-3, 3-6. 6-3. So. in hard
fought contest. best three out of five.
Busch defeated Matteson of Great Falls,
as. Sc, 81, Us and 60, it requiring the
full number of games to decide the vim
ner. Both games We're intensely inter-
esting.
The semi finals for double teams are
being played this Observation-Disclosures
lin and O'Connor against Chessman and
Illlman, and Botkin and Armstrong
against Busch and Jones. The play is
extremely fast, and there is little choice
as to winners. The finals will come off
tomorrow.
Busch of Butte has one of the prettest
and most effective back-hand strokes
ever seen on court. 1t Is q pleasure
to see him, when playing near the net,
return a ball that has been lobbed to
the end of the court, while on the run
back to where it strikes. The play is
loudly applauded whenever made. Bot
kin of Livingston is perhaps second to
him in this one particular stroke.
None of the players have had the long
experience of Neel, the present state
champion. He plays with such quiet
ease that one might easily be mistaken
as to the quality of his game. He serves
what looks like a ridiculously easy ball.
like pop-up fly in baseball, seldom
uses hard, vicious drive. His strong
hold is in judgment of distance and plac-
ing a return where it will be effective.
Low returns which barely clear the net
are his favorite strokes. His partner,
Matteson, in the doubles, serves a swift
drive that is very effective, and when on
the defensive plays fine net game.
Hunter Of Anaconda is one of the
newest men in the tennis court. He is
of slender. almost girlish figure, but
sinewy and active as a bundle of steel
springs. He is one of the hardest servers
of the tournament, and plays as good
defensive game. especially at the net, as
one could wish. This Is almost his first
year at tennis and he bids fair to be-
come real star at the game.
Botkin of Livingston is one Of the most
interesting players to watch. He is not
especially graceful. He Is a muscular.
quck-eyed player, always on the alert.
and his back court work, as well as his
serving, is above criticism In the
doubles he covers the rear court as we'll
or better than almost any other player
in the tournament. He is somewhat
weak at the net, where a crafty oppo-
nent will endeavOr to draw him. His
judgment in placing returns is likely to
bring him near the top in this years
meet. Armstrong. his partner. plays a
great game, and the two make as fine
team as one could wish.
O'Connor and Mclaughlin of Butte
play a good clean game, and will have a
place in the semi-finals today. They are
surprising even their friends by the ex-
cellence Of their play.
Yesterday afternoons games were as
follows:
Consolation singles-Hunter won from
Putnam. Ga. 2-6, Us.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)


Helena. Aug. 22.-1n the supreme court
here today two important applications
for orders in the big mining suits rend-
ing before his court and the court of
Butte were made. and the applications
were supported by sensational affidavits.
Frank III. klepetko. manager of the
Anaconda and Boston s Montana smelt-
ers. was the maker of one of the affi-
davits and J. X. Mcdonald, Lee Hayes,
William Casey and Philip Wing made
the others.
In the big Pennsylvania case which is
before the supreme court, the Boston &.
Montana Mining company applied to the
court for an order requiring the Montana
Ore Purchasing company to give an / l.
ditional bond. The petitioner claims that
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
has extracted ore from the disputed
lodges amounting in value to about ST.
45O 900.
The Montana Ore Purchasing company
has up bond now Of 81, 300, 900. OF this
amouat $350000 is in cash and the bal
ance ~ bonds. This is the case in which
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
sought to give the Delaware Surety COM
pany as surety, an in which it was re-
quired by the supreme court to put up
cash and bonds.
In the Minnie Healey case application
was made by the plaintiff, Miles Finlen,
for two orders, one for an injunction and
the other for an inspection Of the prop
erty in dispute. The injunction asked for
is wanted to cover the time during which
the appeal from the judgment of Judge
Harvey is pending before the supreme
court.
Both applications were set to be heard
| on next Monday morning at 10 O'Clock
a. m. The applications were presented
by John H. FERRIS. counsel for the Bos-
ton & Montana for Miles Finlen

A Watermelon Feau.

A short. time ago there arrived at an East river pier a small steamer loaded to gunwales with watermelons and manned by crew of negroes. The men on the neighboring docks watched with great interest the process of un- loading. for 1t was evident that the roustabouts would far rather eat the melons than pile them In wagons. They broke a good many. and others were not perfect, so when the last cartload was driven away there was still a great. luscious pile of fruit. eatabie. but not salable. The boss of the job mounted a barrel. Boys" he said, you've worked hard, and you ain't ct too many melons. Invite your friends tonight. and you can have all that's left" Not many speeches get the en- thusiastic cheers that that did.
 The watermelon party that night was attended by a hundred or more able bodied "coons." and after the refresh ments had disappeared there were sing ing and dancing and banjo playing most of the night.
