 "The scale of justice is evenly balanced. Put on 1t one grain of injustice and all justice is destroyed. Yes, I speak for the negro because I am Jew,
 Centuries ago my forefathers paid tribute to that great empress. Marie The resa of Austria, $4.S5 a head for every Jew living in that empire. My family pa- pers tell me that all the Jews in that empire had to wear yellow badges, and that great injustice has filled my heart with horror.
 Are you republicans willing to deco rate the negroes with the yellow badges? And when you do this, how do I know that the Jew will not come next? Then comes another, and then anarchy.
 Gentlemen, I beg of you nothing but justice. Do unto others as you would have others do unto yourself.
 NO DISPLAY OF PREJUDICE.
 J. c. Cook, a member of the sub-com- mittee, asserted that the racial question had not entered the discussion in making up the report but that the committee had acted solely from an adherence to justice and as it thought would be for the best interests of the party. He as- serted there had been no display of prej- udice whatever and begged that the re- port be adopted as read
 N. L. Steele of Montgomery opposed the adoption. of the report because his county was affected, more than for any other reason. He moved as a substitute for Mir Trimble's motion that the report be adopted except in counties where there had been contests. This was sec onded by Charles Alexander.
 D, B. Smith of Opelika followed in strenuous speech in which he disclaimed
 
 but declared the members of the race had been a millstone around the neck of the party for years and they must be thrown off He declared he wanted to see them shut out now and asserted they must walk the plank when the conven- tion meets.
 TWO NEGROES SPEAK.
 Nathan Alexander. a negro from Mont gomery followed in an impassioned speech in which he appealed for human rights as a matter superior even to par ty policy. His argument was along the lines that political equality had been the mainstay of the party for years and should now be followed. He declared the subcommittee report showed that the racial lines had been drawn, even if un- consciously He declared he had no ill., feeling. but only the deepest pity and commiseration for men who cannot con- ouer their own prejudices. He declared the party knew no party lines and that if in Montgomery it was desired to build up decent party it must be done after decent methods.
 Ad Wimbs, the negro from Greensboro stated that he did not like to speak from a racial standpoint, but was forced to do so. His protest was that taking the action contemplated would be out-herod- ing the democratic constitution-a step that would be cruel.
 OLD REGIME MUST GO. A J w. Davidson, in an able effort said the lines must be drawn and he was glad to state he had the backbone to boldly and bravely come forward and declare that the old regime must be put aside and new party built up. Judge J. B. Shields spoke along the same lines. asserting he had almost lost his life because of being a republican,

MADE
AN INVESTIGATION
Down State Town Visited by
Committee of Methodist
Episcopal Association
RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED
Pre- siding Elder Watt Tells of One
Church Member Who Was Asked %
Resign by His Pastor IN Lower
Delaware

''N~'o' -
Delaware
Although the Wilmington M. p.
preachers Association gave out TO GER
tain newspapers a copy Of a set Of
resolutions adopted at the weekly
meeting yesterday to the effect that the
charges Of bribery of church members
could not be verified, they did not tell
of evidence of corruption which was
laid before the meeting.
Last week some of the members Of
the association were greatly agitated
over the stories of bribery and corrup-
ton printed in the newspapers. They
felt hurt by an editorial in the Evening
Journal which charged that church
members and a class leader in the
lower part of the State had sold out
to Addicks. A committee appointed TO
investigate these stories called at the
Evening Journal office last week in
reference to the story and asked that
the charges be made specific.
This committee made further inves-
tigation and at the meeting yesterday
made a report One well-known divine
who occupies a pulpit of a prominent
church. said he had investigated the
stories Of the bribery and corruption
as apphed to church members in Della
ware, and found them unfounded. dhis
clerical gentleman said he had gone 70
one town in the lower part Of the State
and talked to the Democratic voters
assistant. who denied that any church
members had sold out. He neglected
to state that there were four voting
places. and therefore four voters as
sistants in the town. One minister
then arose TO his feet and said hG
voted the whole Addicks ticket
There was some talk of a further in
vestigation. when Presiding Eide
Watt said he had made little inves
tigation on his own hook He said h'
found one case in the lower part Of The
State where a minister had asked {
church member to resign.
After some more. discussion resolu
tions were adopted in which th'
preachers said they wished to pu
themselves, on record as being agains
bribery and corruption. They furthe
stated that unless those who have
made such charges against member
and officers of the church shall presen
the same we must believe the member
ana officers of our churches innocen
until they are found guilty.

4 Passengers were compelled to walk
to Havana, among these being the

Armen and conductors were injured

The mayor of Havana and the sec
stary of government, Dieg Temayo

athized with the strikers and had
iven orders to the police not to use
