man Abbott on the Negro.

Richmond, Va, April 23.--Delegates
to the educational conference con
tinue TO arrive on every train, and as
TO numbers and interest it is already
clear that the gathering will be a
great success. The first meeting took
place at $3.50 Wednesday afternoon,
the formal opening occurring at night.
Among the delegates is DR.. Lyman
Abbott who gave an interview on the
negro question. He said among 9th
err things; 81 think, in the main, relar
tions between the blacks and whites
in the south are better than they are
In the north; that doors 10 industry
are more open to the negro In the
south than in the north; that II he is
industrious, honest and reasonably in
telIigent, he has, on the whole, n bet
ter chance in the south than in the
north; and to put the whole thing in
few sentences. II were a negro /
would rather live in southern than
In a northern state.
81 must add the qualification that
probably there are exceptional com
munitics in the south where the ne
gro is subjected to exceptional prcju-
dices and possibly exceptional com
munities in the north where he would
en- Joy exceptional privileges

'HE BLUFF WORKED WELL.
-ieut-Gov. John A, Lee of Missouri
Prefers TO Tell the Alum
Story Himself.
iE CONCLUDES TO RETURN TO ST. LOUIS,
Circuit Attorney Folks Threat TO
Extend Immunity to Kelley In Re
turn for the True story of the
Deal in Alum Legislation Had Its
Effect

st. Louis, April pa Lieut.. Gov. John
A. Lee, says the Post-Dispatch, does
not want Daniel j. Kelley TO appear
as a witness before the st. Louis and
Cole county grand jury. Rather than
to have that happen he will return
himself
The threat of Circuit Attorney
Folk TO go to New York and make
terms with Kelley TO get him as a wit
ness brought Lee to terms.
Lee is expected to be in st. Louis
Thursday or Friday, and it is expect
ed that he will tell all he knows Of
the alum deal when he comes. SO
great is said to be Lees fear of Kcl-
ley as witness that he is now willing
to come without any assurance of i'm
munity from prosecution.
Mr. Folks announcement that he
was determined to have either Lee or
Kelley as n witness created constcrna-
ton among the friends of Lee, and
they sought immediate consultations.
Lee and Kelley IRE the two men
who can tell the whole story, and
with Kelley promised protection, Lee
position would doubtless be a bad
one He would rather tell the story
himself
Robert +. Lee, brother Of John A,
Lee, who has been making announce
ments for the fugitive, was not at the
conference.
1t is expected that when Lee APP
pears In ST Louis the whole story OF
the alum legislation will be secured
although it may take repeated APP
pearances before the grand jury to
get it, with the information already
in the hands of Circuit Attorney
Folk and Att'y.-Gen. Crow, they Will
know when the story has been prop
erly told.
