ory- For these gentlemen with
one accord declare that Mr.. Ca

he had any cOmpunctions about
eating with his negro conferee

Regarding Mr.. Capers presence
at the banquet, Mr.. Luna said :.
"Mr. Capers was at Senator Han

had two runs. The first came at
four o'clock in the morning and
it was caused by some trash be-

Citizens telephone exchange in
the Odd Fellows building being
on fire. The alarm SAID the fire
was at Miss Title Bailey's and
the firemen went to Miss Bal
ley's home only to find that they
were mistaken in the location.
The operator at the exchange
thought the smoke came from
Miss Bailey's Millinery estab-

Gated the flames and extinguish-

The second alarm came at noon
of Thursday and was caused by
the roof of an clubhouse at the

tinguished with little trouble,
and before any great damage was
