Chapel Hill, N. c., April 27-The cata-

Writing of Winston Salem and some
phases of the Conference, DR.. Abbott
says:
The Fourth Annual Conference for Ed
ucation this year was held at Winston
Salem. The hyphen of this hyphen-
ated town represents at least half a
century. Winston is a modern town, dis
tinctly typical of the New South, enter
prising, energetic, hustling American.
Salem is an ancient Moravian town, with
the old buildings unchanged the old
church and the old graveyard, and SEM
mary for girls which celebrates it's cen
tennial next year. The two towns have
now grown together SO that there is
nothing to separate them except their
antithetical spirit and street which is
almost impossible because neither town
will assume the responsibility for keeping
it in order. The one criticism | should
make on the conference is that it was too
little a conference and too much series
of mass meetings

Frankfort, April 26.-ByN II o'clock
this morning eighty bodies had been re-
covered from the debris of the Electro
Chemical Works near Griesheim, but
there are still many missing. About
one hundred and fifty person We're I'M
ured, many of them seriously. The
work of fighting the flames proceeded
throughout the entire night, though
the danger of further explosions was
regarded as averted at midnight The
search of the ruins continues. The
scene which occurred throughout the
night were most distressing. Villagers
and survivors are going about the ruins
in search of relatives and comrades
and endeavoring to recognize in the
charred bodies or dismembered and
mutilated corpses the identity of miss
ing friends. The flames gutted Marx
and Mueller's chemical factory and
part of the Griesheim Color Works.
A number of children who were
hurled by the explosion into the river

could reach them. Several firemen are
among the victims. A special train with
relief firemen and additional doctors
and nurses was sent to the scene of the
disaster this morning. A number who

themselves this morning.

The inhabitants fled, panic stricken,

DR.. Lyman Abbott, who took a leading
part in the Educational Conference at
Winston Salem last week, gives his i'm
pressions of the Conference and the
Southern educational problem in the last
issue of The Outlook He writes
The Southerner has less prejudice
against the negro and more interest in
his welfare than the Northerner has; he
desires the negroes education, but be-
lieves that whatever it may become in
the future, It shodld be industrial rather
than literary; the South has spent on the
negroes education three or four times as
much in taxes as the North has in con-
tributions; the work of the North
among the negroes should be carried on
in fellowship with Southern whites, not
in antagonism to them; TO attempt to
force either political or social equality
is to infict incurable injury on the negro
ard the nation. In a word, the Northern
'er should recognize the fact that the
Southern white man now wants to be-
friend the negro; but that the negro

An American colored boy, who was
sleeping on the second story says he was
awakened at about l o'clock in the morn
ing by choking sensation and found a
man with his face half hidden by a
handkerchief kneeling on his chest with
his thumbs pressed on his windpipe.
Another man beside the bed pointed a
revolver at his head A third man held
a portable electric lantern, the light from
which was shining in his eyes. The lat
ter said with a good American accent
Don't move or I'll shoot you. We have
come here to do little job and mean to
do IT."
The burglar, it is claimed then stuffed
a towel into the mouth of the boy, who
said he was almost scared to death and
tried to wriggle his head, whereupon one
of the men dealt him a heavy blow on the
head with his fist, which left big
bruise The burglar still, according
TO the boys story, then tied his
legs and arms so tightly as almost to
cut the flesh, while he left the marks
of his knees on the boys chest. Two
of the burglars, after conversation
in English, left the room End the third
according to the story told quietly drew
up a chair and sat by the bedside
with a revolver pointed at the boy and
the rays of the lantern directed at his
face, The burglar, the boy added, agan
said Now, lie still and you will not
be hurt; but if you are troublesome
will blow out your brains.
The boy continuing his story said he
then heard the noise of the burglars
working, drilling, hammering and laugh
ing, apparently with not the slightest
fear of interruption. Later he said he
heard an explosion and then a second in
tonation which shook the premises After
a short interval his guardian, who from
time to time had exchanged kind of bird
whistles" with his confederates below,
smeared something On the boys face and
said: Il am going down stairs to help
my pals for ten minutes If you stir |
will kill you when l come back.
But the boy added he never came
back. The boy said he then lost his
senses and had evidently been chloro-
formed When he recovered he asserted
he was afraid to move.
An office cleaner who arrived at the
Express Company's offices at $3.50 a. m.
found the street door ajar, the safe dy-
namited an dthe boy, gagged and bound,
lying on the floor beside his bed up

heavy carpets from the reception rooms
and wrapped them around the safe in

order to deaden the sound of the explo-
sion. An astounding feature of the bur-
glary is that the policemen heard
or saw nothing of the burglars in spite
of the fact that the latter worked loudly,
and that the sound of the explosions was
sufficient to waken a porter on the top
story of al building across the street and
cause him to descend and search his own
house for intruders.
Later it became known that the police
had detained the colored boy, the watch
man not being satisfied with the story
told by him of the burglary
