SOUTHERN PACIFIC
 IS SWINDLED
TRANSFORMATION FOR LABOR
 FRS SOLD BY RAscALLY GANG.
Had Good Grsft--Hundreds of Dol. lars Gotten by Fraudulent Sub. Contractors for Labor.

A novel scheme for swindling the Southern Pacific company has just been unearthed at Fl Paso. By the loperation of the scheme, which has been going on for some time past, the company has been swindled out of hundreds of dollars worth of railroad fares. The operators were a band Of some seven or eight smooth Mexi- cans. who worked their graft all along the line between this city and ! Los Angeles. t a | The scheme was this: One of the operators would go to Manning & Co. at Tucson, employment agents for the Southern Pacific. and ascertain if the company was in need of any men west of here. At Cotton, California. which is only a short distance this side of Los Angeles, the company is almost constantly in reed of laborers, as the climate is so warm that men l sent there do not remain long Quite frequently men in lots of two or three are wanted on short notice and in such cases they are ordered sent out on the regular passenger trains. Here is where the grafter would get in his work. He would propose to Manning l X Co. to get the men, and, having two confederates handy. they would be marched in before the superintendent. who would order transportation is sued. With transportation for two or three Mexicans as the case might be, the head grafter would then hunt up the same number Of Mexicans wno wanted to go to Los Angeles and sell them the transportation. Of course the MexicaEs travelling on this trans, portation would get of this side of IColton- and then being only a short distance to Los Angeles, would buy transportation from the railroad com. pany the rest of the way.
 The scheme was also worked pret ty extensively On the immigrant trains carrying laborers west. but in this case the company was not cut much
 as the. class of Mex cans who would buy this class Of transportation would never pay straight railroad fac= t California anyway. 1t is understood that the men who have been opera ling the scheme aye been working. al
 along the line. but most Of the trans iportation was obtained here.
 Detection of the scheme was diff tcult,, Of course the contractor [;
 whose camp, the Transportation vas is sued would claim the men neyel
 rfached him. but the officials here hat
 issued the passes to the men and tha
 let them out. Where men were sen
 on the regular trains in response to ; hurry order, and in numbers of two ol
 three, no guards were sent along. Complaints from contractors anC
 section men, who had sent for mel
 and who had not received them, came
 in so frequently that the fact tha
 there was something wroBg began 't' dawn upon the officials and an inves tigation was set about which resulted tn the detection of the scheme.

+Decrease.
| 1t would appear from this that out of
| $780, s9 negroes In the United States, only
ISL .oOs, or about one-twenteth of the
whole are scattered through eighteen
Northern States, having an aggregate
population of 44,493,2 s6. 1t is further
shown that from 1890 to 1900 the negro
popnlation in these States increased only
III 097.
If these figures are reliable, and we
suppose they are. they ought to arouse
some interesting inquiries among the rabid
element at the North, who are forever
talking about the ll-treatment of the
negro In the South. The negroes have
been free for nearly forty years. yet
only one-twentieth Of them have deserted
the South to seek the more congenial
society of their white brethren and sisters
north of the dividing line. They have
been free to leave and the walking has
been good, but nineteen-twentieths of
them preferred to remain in the land OF
their birth. Perhaps the New York Eve
ming Post thinks that they are held here
under the ''peonage" system. But our con-
temporary is Informed that many of them
who go away come back at the first
opportunity.
But there are Northern communities
where the negro population has greatly
increased Of late. New York, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg and the cities and towns
of New Jersey and Delaware have added
many negroes to their population in the
last ten years. and wherever there are
negroes in bulk there is a negro problem,
and wherever there is a negro problem
the whites deal with 1t much the same
way.
Minimize it as you may, there are
enough negroes in several Northern
States to make not only social problem,
but political problem, and the polti-
clans have got to reckon with 1t.

THE OLD SYCAMORE.

We wish that we might publish at least

Editor OF The Times-Dispatch:
sir.--You seem to have been pleased
with having tried a "reminiscences" In
regard to the big tree that has been al

Streets, and near the residence of DR..

daughters once saved it from destruction.

agreeable and hospitable house of DR..
Watson as far back as 1910. observed that
fine tree and was well acquainted with
the fair suppliant who saved its life.
Indeed, may have known it earlier, for
about 1886, I was the guest Of the Stan
ards who then lived not far from it on
Ninth Street, and had some fine trees on
their large lot. which ran along OH
FRANKLIN all the way to Eighth Street.
But since the above dates that grand
old sycamore has become quite dear to
me. The Rev. Mr. Tghe had his school
within a few feet of It, and my namesnke
son was one OF his pupils. He played
under and, around 1t and became warmly
attached to it, Inasmuch that when he
was here a few years ago. he enquired
about 1t and expressed n desire to SEQ 1t,
This. too, though he had Just returned
from England, where he had witnessed
the grandeurs of Queen Voctoria's jubilee
celebrations. We visited 1t together. and
the sight OF 1t greatly moved him by
the memories which it recalled He pat

sycamore, but far more regular and mag

no doubt enjoyed them in company with
his friendly Shepherd T!tyrus, whom he
thus saluted "Tityre IN. patulae recu-

LET US HAVE PEACE.

The city has now Quoted down. reason
h.e re.urned. and tho authorities believe
Il safe to begin to send the soldiers
home But when the military shall nave
been withdrawn there will rest a grave
responsibility upon the Richmond public
anon tho people as we'll as upon the
officers OF the law. When the strike was
first inaugurated there WAS much excite
mept and when the military came there
was indignation in some quarters. ana
under those conditions 1t was but natural
that there should be some outbreaks here
and there. One thing led to another, ex-
ctement ran high and some men were
hardly responsible for their acts But the
situation has changed. The excitement
is all over the better spirit OF the COM
munity has asserted itself, and Richmond
is herself again.
The people have had taste oof mob
rule. and they want no moro OF It. Ihey
are tired OF lawlessness and they are tired
of seeing armed soldiers on the streets.
Let the soldiers go back to their homes,
and let us all resolve as people tnat
we will respect the law and uphold 1t.
that we will discontinue and discourage
every attempt at lawlessness that may be
made hereafter, and that we will assist
the officers Of the law in preserving the
peace.
Richmond has the situation in her own
hands, and she can control it II she will.
1t is simply matter OF self-assertion on
the part of the body polite, and 1t Is
time for the body polite to assert itself.
1t was bad enough to have had to call
for the soldiers. it would be far worse
for US to have to recall them after they
have been sent to their homes Richmond
appeals to the pride and the patriotism OF
her sons and daughters. Let US have
peace.

THE INDIANA RACE RIOT.

Then mob OF negroes started on the

THE NEGRO AT THE NORTH.

ministers OF the country at Cincinnati,
Rev. DR.. William Thirlkield asserted that
outside OF New Orleans the great negro
ccnters are not now In the far South;
they are Washington, Baltimore. Pitts

statements was that "the negroes are
coming North in herds Upon these
asserted facts he predicted the opinion
that "lnstead of being Southern prob

reality a Northern problem"
