LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

In order to enlarge the scope of local
manufacturing concern company has re-
Gently been organized under the laws Of
the state of West Virginia 1t is known as
the Howard Label Company, and it is pro-
posed to continue the making of inspection
tags for meats which has been going on for
some time past. 1t is understood that this
tag has been adopted by the government
for use in the official inspection of meats.
There is also commercially a wider field for
this device, which supplies the need of an
indestructible yet harmless method Of
marking meats.
The capital of the company is SOC. OeO
and the shares are of the value of 500.
The organization has not been completed,
but the probable beard of directors will be
sise, George Howard. T. R. Newbold, Geo.
+ Dunlop. tr.: Joseph Saks. Paul Starrett
and H. c. Black. Mr. Prosise will prob
ably be the choice for president.
The output of the Chaplin Sacks Manufac-
turing Company, which makes artificial ice,
is to be increased. In order to provide the
needed storage capacity, some $4,000 square
ing the plant an Patterson street which
runs east and west through the square
bounded by M, N. North Capitol and Ist
streets northeast. The new street fronta ge
will be 100 feet, and on this additional space
will be erected building for the storage of
the plate ice which is made by the company
and used mainly by Chaplin & Sacks who
carry on wholesale butter business. The
purchase of the land was made through
Barnard & Mark, real estate brokers' and
the price paid was 80 cents per square foot
In order to effect these changes The capt.
tai of the company has been increased
from $15O,G0O to s225, OO0 The capacity OF
the ice plant is 100 tons per day.
There was practically no securities for
sale at the meeting today of the Washing
ton stock exchange, and in consequence the
business was unimportant The orders to
buy as well as those to sell were few and
under such condition the changes made in
the current quotations were without sig
nitficance. "a
Bonds of the Washington Traction Com
pany were taken as freely offered, al
though the aggregate of the sales of these
securities was only about $4,000. one-third
less than the amount of the sales made

which is witnessing liberal pairing down
of premiums.
The disturbed conditions in Wall street
evidently do not affect local financiers
who are enjoying their annual vacations on
sea shore and mountain. There is vet to
be afforded a single instance of local
fnancier who has been obliged by special
train or private yacht to hurry home in
order to sustain his tottering interests II
is evident that Washington men do such
things better than the thoughtless New
York bankers.
The first of the members of the stock ex-
change to return from the annual expedi-
ton after a coating of Sunburn was Mr.
David Greenlees. who reported today for
duty. The rich bronze of Mr.. Greeniees'
complexion impaired a glow, like that of

FIGHT ON McCoMAs.
Lively THE IN CONVENTION IT
CUWDEHI.AND.
Ex-senator Wellington Leading the
Anti-1GcComas Element In the
Republican Meeting.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, August 1.-THE
first blood in the republican county con-
vention this morning was drawn by the
McComas element. who succeeded In elect
ing DR.. William F. Twigg temporary chair
man over Charles H. Holtzman, who was
backed by the anti-McComas influences. The
vote was IA to IL and was taken by dis
trfcts. Ex-senator wellington, who Is
leading the anti-McComas forces, being q
proxy delegate from district No. 6. pro-
tested against this method Of voting very
vigorously, saying the vote should be by
delegates. of whom there are 123. Harry
T. Mullin for the McComas faction con-
tended strongly for voting by districts, say
ing 1t has been the custom to select tenn
porary chairman In that manner Mr.. Well
fngtOn appealed to the convention from
the chairs action, but Peter G. Cowden,
chairman of the county committee. who
called the convention to order. ignored the
appeal and said the vote should be taken
by districts. There was much uproar and
some Kissing while Senator Wellington was
speaking. He turned to some spectators
and said: 1T is not necessary to stamp
and howl all the time" McComas lieuten-
ants occupied wings of the stage and di-
rected the work Of the chairman. While
the vote for temporary chairman was be-
ing taken picture of the late President
mckinney was brought on the stage and
there was storm of applause. the cheer
ing being terrific. When the committee on
credentials and resolutions retired a spec
tator yelled to H. T. Mullin, a McComas
leader: Harry. remember the face Of poor
dead Mckinley" This caused more cheer
ing.
Later President Roosevelt's picture was
brought on the stage.
The ant-McComas people have a slate
which includes the names of five persons
opposed to the return of Mr.. McComas to
the United States Senate. They developed
eighty-four votes at a caucus last night. or
twenty-five more than necessary for a
choice.
The McComas people were able to accom-
in effective work. and they claim they will
break the slate. The weakness of the anti
McComas slate Is in not having the candi-
date for sheriff from either Frostburg or
Homecoming. In order to get the sixteen
votes of district number Ia. Cumberland, it
was necessary to put ]. George Nickel on
the slate for sheriff. The mining region
delegates say the nominat ton belongs to
their section. and Cumberland man would
lose at the polls. The McComas people are
trying to fix on William Gilchrist of Iona
coming for sheriff The anti-McComas peo-
rle claim now seventy-twO votes. The fight
is very close one. The Academy of Music
is crowded with spectators. and the conven-
ton promises to be the most exciting in the
history of Cumberland.
Representative George A. Pearre and Ben
Jamtn A. Richmond are directing the Nc
Comas fight from Mayor Whites office,
which Is in the Academy of Music building

CHICAGO CLUBS GO DRY.
They Decline to Pay a License Fee Of
$500.

CHICAGO. August 11.-Following the an
nouncement of the police authorities that
d1smshop licenses must be taken out for
9H clubs where liquor is sold the club house
lot the Chicago Athletic Association mas be-
Some dry. The total abstinence decree was
announced after meeting of the board OF
directors by President Alexander H. RevelI,
who said:
I'VE have voted that no drinks be sold
over the bar and the ruling will be re-
ligiously enforced We do not wish to get
into trouble with the law. and we shall not
seek to evade it,
Thirteen other clubs have served notice
on the city clerk that they have abandoned
their bars. Among this number are the
Lincoln. Menoken. Automobile, Tuscarora
and Press Clubs. The reason given by the
smaller clubs for this step was the fact
that they could not afford to pay the $500
license fee.

Speech of ]. T. Graves at
Chautauqua.
PREVENTIVE OF RAPE
DECLARES 1T rs ONLY PARTIALLY
EFFECTIVE.
The Only Permanent Solution of Prob
lem Lies in Separation of
the Races.

CHACTACQUA. N. Y. August IL
Tnique among all summer gatherings is the
mob conference now in progress here.
The increase of mob spirit shown by feuds,
Iynchings riots, assassinations and other
lawless happenings gives great Importance
to this conference. Among today'S speak
ers was John Temple Graves of Atlanta
Ga Mr. Graves defended lynch law as a
remedy for the crime of rape. holding that
though lynching is crime it is justified by
the crime which provokessit. and will never
be discontinued until that crime is elimi-
mated.
The remedy for lynching must be the
elimination of the crime of rape. and this.
he maintains, could be done only by the
separation of the two races in the United
States. i'4f -
The More-Important Question.
The problem of the hour is not how to
prevent lynching in the SOUTH" said he.
but the larger question. How shall we de-
stroy the crime which always has and al
ways will provoke lynching?' The answer
which the mob returns to this vital question
is already known.
The mob answers it with the rope. the
bullet and sometimes, God save us. with
the torch And the mob" is practical; it's
theory is effective to a large degree; the
mob is today the sternest. the strongest and
most effective restraint that the age holds
for the control of rape
The lyncher does. not exterminate the
rapist Mr.. Graves contended. but he holds
him nightly in check. AS sheer. cold.
patent fact. he said the mob stands today
as the most potential buiwark between the
women of the south and such carnival of
crime would infuriates -the world and
precipitate the humiliation of the negro
race. The masses of the negro he held. are
not afraid of death coming in a regular
way. They love display and the spectacu-
lar element of trial and execution appeal
to Their imaginations.
Creature of the Senses.
Expediting the processes of the law would
repeal of the amendments and the estab-
lishment of the pegro's inferiority in law
