FTSTONTSTS ATTACKED.
Water, Eggs and Bricks ThrO5cn m
WurphyS District.

According to 2 man who said he was X W. u.
yelling. who telephoEed the story to the news
paper Offices. a party Of fusion orators, band
and q glse club in a big automobile truck were
attacked last night in Charles z. Murphy's dis
t-ict by a crowd Of men, and several IN the
party were hit by stones.
EIr yelling said that the party had mace d
tour Of the lower part OF the CITY, ana lheil Went
TO the fusion headquarters, IA Avenue a, pc
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth SITS Just as the
truck stopped, pals OF water and paper baGs
containing water we're thrown from the WINDOWS
Of neighboring tenement houses, ard many OF
the party were soaked. Then the crowd be-
gan to throw stones and ieer the tu5ionsts.
According to Mr.. yelling several in the party
were slightly injured by the stones IL IS aiso
alleged that two instruments owned ny tn'
band were wrecked.
Mr.. Robert y. Kelly, City Water register
said Mr. yelling, who is a special officer NM
self called on a uniformed policeman 10 drive
ayvav the crowd. The policeman paid no atten-
tion TO him and walked away--S Some one threw
2 brick and il struck Mr.. Kelly on the head.
he was forced to get back on the automobile
and went away as fast he could. The truck
was damaged by the mob and the bunting was
set on fire We were in a bad fix. and il seemed
at first if the thugs were going to DO US up
A number in the party were struck by stale
eggs and their clothing was ruined. The aHalr
was the most disgraceful have ever witnessed,
aud I think the attention Of the Police Commits
sioner should be called to il. The attack was
evidently premeditated, for the eggs and water
came all at once
when inquiry was made in the neighborhood
last night a switchman employed by the Inter
urban street Railway Company said that he
had seen bags OF water and pals Of water
thrown from tenement windows on the fusion
rarfv in the automobile but said he had not
seen any stones thrown. nor had he seen any
one injured. he also said that there was no
uniformed policeman in the crowd at the time

when she heard quarreling on the street.
As she got near the window, she saws, she

been educated in the value of money, may
in sufficient numbers offer their services
in order to obtain the same. But the neces-
sity is urgent from both an economic and
a political point of view 1t is apparent
TO almost every thinking man that the
whole future of the country depends upon
its instant prosperity.
The very first thing which the Govern
ment should do in South Africa is to per-
init and offer every facility for the impcrta-
ton Of Asiatic labor. The second require
ment is capital for the development Of the
agricultural possibilities.
out there we have q land of great pos.
sibilities and capable Of immense develop
ment. SO soon as the labor question is
settled the mineral wealth Of the country
will be opened up in all directions. large
towns will spring up out OF the veldt. rail-
ways will be built and there will be vast
thrush Of all sorts and conditions of men.
These will all have 10 he fed, and at present
even food has to be imported into the Trans
vaal in large quantities.
Here, then, is living for a great num-
Der OF the surplus population Of the British
Isles. II il not the home MASTERS, however,
that South Africa wants, but energetic,
intelligent, steady men, determined to
succeed in the struggle Of life. And in
South Africa there are great prospects for
thousands Of such men. and the sooner
they come the better for the country.
The other great requirement l have
mentioned above is capital. Money there
is in abundance for developing the mineral
resources Of the country but there is great
lack of money for developing the agri-
cultural resources. Money is required
for the purchase OF land, for irrigation
works for the establishment of agricultural
colleges and experimental farms, and for
advances to suitable settlers
III the home Government gave back
the ESQ 900 900 which it will eventually
receive from the Transvaal as a contri-
button toward the expenses of the war,
on the understanding that the whole Of
that amount should be used for a well
devised scheme of land settlement, am
convinced that it would prove the finest
imperial investment that Great Britain
has ever made. II means so little to the
British taxpayer. but II would mean so
much to the future of South Africa and
thereby to the empire at large.
That the mineral industries will event =
ually go ahead there can be no doubt and
that this will mean an enormous influx
OF British capital, British enterprise and
British subjects; but one of the worst things
that could happen would be large British
population in the towns, politically opposed
to large Dutch population in the country
districts. What is needed is British
country population settled on the land

besides that existing in the towns. There
is no question of swanping the Beers.
for they are sturdy, tenacious and very
prolific people, but they would benefit
themselves by the introduction Of British
capital and enterprise and would share
in the resulting prosperity.
Let the Government then give per-
mission for the introduction of Asiatic
labor into the Transvaal under the strictest
supervision and restrictions, and let Great
Britain give back the $50, 900 900 war con-
tribution with the understanding that it
shall be used for the development OF the
agricultural industry and federal ed
South Africa under British rule will then
have approached within measurable dis

AN ORATOR FOR BUTLER
CHARLES f. M'ELROY WILL REP
RESENT THE COLLEGE.
He Is Awarded First Place by the
Judges i'm a Field That Had
Five Starters.

The primary oratorical contest to select
speaker to represent Butler in the state
oratorical contest next year was held last
night in the college chapel. Five students
contested for the honor. The speakers and
their subjects were:
THE Man and the Nation" Harry M.
Wills; Our Municipal Evil James G.
Randall; Prohibition the Salvation of Our
Country" Carl III. Barnet; THE Endur-
ing" Henry II. Hammer; 1.-THE Supremacy
of the Public" Charles F. McElroy.
The decision of the judges-Charles F.
Coffin. I. J. Carter and Frank p. Norton
awarded first place 10 Charles +. McElroy,
second place to Henry Hammer, and third
place TO James c. Randall.
The general custom has been to hold the
primary oratorical contest in the latter part
of the fall term, but il was thought that
this did not give the winner time in which
TO prepare himself for the state contest,
which occurs early in February, so the
change was made to commencement month.
Charles Z. McElroy, who will represent
Butler next year, is well fitted for the hon
or. He is a debater of more less fame
among the colleges of the State. He has
been in every debating team that has rep
resented the college for the last four years.
Although this is his first appearance in
public speaking, he has proved himself an
orator as well as a debater He has "a
strong delivery, firm, clear voice and an
easy Self-cOntrol.
