Spanish dishes were served by pref
ty young ladies attired in Spanish
costumes, and the beautiful decora-
tons typified Spain, her flag and
colors being everywhere in evidence.
A full report of the fete was furnish
ed THE HERALD but too late for

row. Suffice it to say for today that
the Spanish dinner was grand
success, and the large crowd pres
ent enjoyed both the excellent
menu, and the very picturesque
manner in which it was served.
The music was characteristic of
Spain, and the beautiful Spanish
song LA Golondrina" was rendered
by a fair singer. Nothing is omitted
by the ladies to make these dinners
a success, and the unique manner in
which each program is carried out
makes it most artistic affair. To-

A sample of macaroni wheat heads
from patch planted by Frank
Champion on his irrigated truck
farm near town was shown to the
reporter today by Mr.. Champion.
1t appears to be a fine specimen and
promises to produce an excellent
quality of wheat. Mr.. Champion
secured the seed from the Agricul-
tural department for the purpose of
experimenting with this wheat,
which the department has been try
ing to introduce in this country.
It was feared that this climate
would not be suitable for it. Maca- ,
-Oni wheat is fine variety of that
cereal grown in Italy, and if it sue

TO FORM HUMANE SOCIETY.
Mr. A b. Rogers Calls for Meeting on We'd
nesday.

The need of a Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals in every city
seems in this enlightened age a reflection
on the education of man. But to read the
reports of such societies in large cities
of the many cases of wilful, heartless
cruelty shows the need of workers in this
field Of humanity
Mr.. A. r. Rogers, of New York city,
one of the active workers in the Ameri-
can Humane Association of the United
States, and the fortunate owner of the
marvellous educated horse, beautiful Jim
Key, expects with the cooperation of a
large number of the ladies and gentlemen
in Raleigh to organize this week while he
is in the city attending our Carnival the
Raleigh Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.
The moral effect Of such a society, Mr..
Rogers says saves a great deal of cruelty.
When men understand there are many
people on the lookout for drivers of lame
horses or mules, or as so often the case,
the brutal driving and flashing of animals,
or the working of animals with sore back
or raw sores under the collar, they stop
for fear of the law.
81 am more than pleased" Mr.. Rogers
continued Ito find so many / meet here in
sympathy with this work and eager to
take it up. The cost is very slight and
the gerat amount of good it does for the
helpless dumb brute, the beast of bur-
den and friend Of man, is well worth all
the effort made in their defense. My horse
Jim Key is the equine honorary member
of the American Humane Association and
was so elected because he teaches people
what patience and kindness will do with
animals. In the last two years over 200,-
600 people at his exhibitions have signed
the pledge which says: Uromise to al
ways be kind to animals
AS Mr.. Rogers says, those who once seeI
his really remarkable performance can
not help but have a greater love for the
animal. And Jim, who was in the infant
class, so to speak, when at the State Fair
three years ago,is now in the high school.
There will be a meeting of those in
terested in forming a Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals in the Jim
Key tent at IL a. IN. Wednesday morning,
and all are invited to attend.

An Interview With Ching.
(By the Associated Press.l


Pekin, May Minister Conger, Mr.
Townley the British Charge D'Affaires
and M. Vuchida, the Japanese Minister,
have had several interviews recently with
Grand Secretary Ching on the subject
OF the Russian Manchurian negotiations.
Prince Ching at first was reserved. but
he subsequently discussed the question
with great freedom. The document en-
bodying the Russian demands is lengthy
and certain portions of 1t are vague,
though its effect does not differ from the
synopsis as cabled
The Russian Ambassadors assurances
to foreign Secretary Lansdowne that the
negotiations to retain Manchuria alone
are confuted by the text which stipulates
that the administration of Mongolia is to
remain unchanged and states vaguely
that Russian interests are paramount
in north China and that only Russians
should be employed there.
The clause particularly distasteful to
the representatives of the interested pow
ers is the prohibition against granting
concessions or leases OF land In the val
ley of the Liau River to other powers
which, it is asserted. Russia would take
extreme measure to prevent.

The Italians Give Trouble.

New York, May 4.-The strike of Ital-
an rock drillers and diggers took a more
serious turn in the Bronx today and fifty
policemen were sent to keep order along
the excavation for water mains where
men are working in the strikers place
The police were picketed along the eX-
cavation and all Italians near it and not
working were ordered to move on. A big
box of explosives which was in a shanty

was ordered buried by the police and two
guards were stationed near to watch it
Secretary Frank Duffy of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners,
announced today that the brotherhood had
decided to take every member of the or
ganization from every job in the city,
increasing the number of strikers from
1000 to 10000. The purpose of this ac-
ton is to try and compel the big builders
to discharge the carpenters who are mem
bers of the Amalgamated Society of Car
penters and Joiners which the brother
hod is seeking TO force into its own ranks
or crash it out entirely.

NATIONAL GUARD ASSOCIATION.
Adjutant- General Royster of North Carolina
Speaks at Columbus
(By the Associated Press.)

Columbus. Ohio, May 4.-The Inter
State National Guard Association of the
United States opened here today with
twenty-five States and territories repre-
tio1fal Guard, is presiding. Secretary of
sion We're Assistant Secretary of War San
ger, with a staff of regular army officers
are present. Secretary Root made an ad-
dress before the convention this after
noon. Speaking of the new militia law
he said:
Some supposed that Immediately af-
ter the passage of the new law a code
of decisions would be issued, defining
certain parts and passages in the bill,
Nothing could have been more unfortu
nate than such a belief. The code is
very broad it will have to be applied to
many conditions arising in different COM
munities, some rich, some poor and the
questions win have to be handled as
they arise, and with all the leniency
possible to meet such conditions.
"a question now being considered is
the minimum Of the company, and it is
a serious one. 1t should not be fixed
SO as to kill the organization of a com
pany in the rural districts, where the
young men are not so numerous as in
the cities. The required five days train
ing is also to be considered-what kind
of training, and many other things are
to be determined.
Lines shuld be laid down so that the
regulars and the national guardsmen will
be drawn closer. 1t too often happens
that jealousies exist between the Off
GERS of the two branches but that will
be avoided by honest and sincere work
After the united manoueyers at Fort
Riley last year the officers of both
branches left thinking great deal more
Of each other. The elements of one are
needed by the other"

sion were Aistant Secretary of War San
ger, Representative CoErey, of Massachu-
sets; Colonel w. H. Hall. United States

GIGANTIC FRAUD UREARTHED.
Offices of British African Finance Company
Raided by the Detectives.
(By the Associated Press.

New York, May 4.-Central Office De-
tectives and Post Office Inspectors today
raided the handsome offices of the Brit
ish-A African Finance Company" in Wall
Street and arrested John ]. Prince, his
son Joseph X. Prince and Horace Black
MUIR on charges of grand larceny and the
fraudulent use of the United States mails.
The concern is said to have vicitimized
many persons by the sale OF bonds and
stock OF the Nokonna Company. Limited,
owning extensive diamond fields in South
Africa, which. with the company, are said
20 be purely mythical
According 10 the circulars issued by
the British-A African Finance Company
members of the nobility figure among the
offices and directors. Sir Frederick Cam
mington is named as president. Sir Per-
cy Sanderson, the British consul general
has informed the police here that no such
person exists. The other officers are given
as General Edmund l.. Wall~n, vice-pres-
ident; ]. Cameron Rogers, secretary;
Hansell Taylor treasurer and the board
of directors consists of Sir Frederick Cam
mngton, chairman; Sigmund Rothschild,
j. Cameron Rogers, Thomas Kanny
Brown. Baron Heinrich Won Prall. Hon.
Edmund L. Wallen and Sir Charles
Noble.
The police say that they have a letter
from Sir Percy Sanderson, in which he
says there were no such persons in Lon
don. He has also written TO the Post
office authorities that he believes the
company to be a fraud. John p Austin
is named as manager of the h. A. f.
Company, but the police think him a
myth as they have never been able to
come upon him during their investiga-
tons
The chief complainant against the con-
Germ is William Bush of New London.
Conn. who says he corresponded with
the company and was referred by them
10 various firms, which the police say
were mythical. One reference was the
British Bank of South Africa in Cape
Town August Knoll Wood, president.
Bush wrote to him and got a reply but
later learned that 10 such bank existed

policemen guarding the subway. A ru-
NOR that could not be traced to any re-
liable source reached the ears of the po-
lice to the effect that negroes We're to
be substituted for the strikers.
Five hundred striking laborers on the
Brooklyn subways attacked men who
were working at Rockaway Avenue near
Liberty Avenue and dragged them from
work. Reserves from two precincts were
necessary to restore order Ten arrests
