with the help of companion Of the

Thus an afternoon at an art eX-

Even the new operate and ORA

with Secretary Shaw and other officials of
the Treasury Department today relative to
the expenditure of the IS .OOO. 900 appropria-
ton made by Congress for the benefit of

Sensational Sermon Nay Yet Csuse
Clash Between Races.
WILMINGTON, Del, June 29-Some I'M
easiness has been occasioned because of a
movement growing out Of the sensational
sermon preached by Rev. M. w. Thornton
OF the First African NJ. E. Church last
night, in which he urged the negroes to
arm for their protection and to hold an tn
dignation meeting in Odd Fellows Temple
tonight.
Chief of Police Black today went among
leading colored men and advised them not
to hold the meeting. They told him that
the meeting was not for the purpose Of dis
cussing the lynching of White, but to con-
slider the general interests Of the colored
people.
The chief told them that even a meet
ing for this purpose would be msconstrued
at this time. and they promised to use their
efforts to have 1t abandoned.
1t will probably not be held. but even
II 1t should be the police authorities will
be vigilant to see that no trouble comes
from 1t.

returned to the Ferris Industrial School.
of which her husband is superintendent,

COMPLETING THE MOHAWK.
It is Believed That Bids viii Soon Be
Invited.


District Attorney Lewis of the eastern
district of Virginia, Receiver Myers Of the
Trigg Shipbulding Company of Richmond
and Virginius Newton, president of the
First National Bank of Richmond. had a
conference at the treasury today with Sec
rotary Shaw and Captain Shoemaker of the
revenue cutter service relative to the COM
pletion of the revenue cutter Mohawk,
which stands in the Trigg shipyards at
Richmond uncompleted
The Mohawk was ready for her prefim-
mary trial when the Trigg company failed
a number of months ago and was placed
in the hands of a receiver. In fact, the
vessel was 50 per cent finished. The Trigg
company had been paid $4,000 of the
contract price, leaving $4,000 due when
the vessel was finished and turned over to
the Treasury Department
Receiver Myers desired to complete the
vessel himself and was assured Of financial
backing. 1nasmuch as the courts which
have charge of the affairs of the company
Will In few days turn the vessel over to
the government for completion the receiver
cannot at this juncture be permitted to
complete the Mohawk. but he was informed
that under the law the treasury would let
to the lowest bidder the work Of completing
the vessel. In the event that the Trigg
Company. through its receiver, desires to
make q bid 1t can do SO, and the treasury
bid.
1t Is regarded as likely that the courts
Will turn the vessel over to the government
IN few days: that the Treasury Depart
ment Will advertise for bids for completion,
and that the Trigg Company. in view of tho
the Mohawk. will make bid on the finish
ing of the vessel
