COLOMBIAN TROOPS CAN'T LAND
The Boston Ordered to Buena Ven-
tura to intercept Them.

The Boston Ordered to Buena Ven-
tura to Intercept Them.
Washington, Nov. IL. - Upon re-
ceipt of a report by the state depart
ment that several British vessels
were to be chartered by the Colombian
government to take troops from
Buena Ventura TO the Isthmus, the
navy department ordered the Boston
to proceed off Buena Ventura, and in
the event that the troops start for the
Isthmus, their commanders will be in
formed that they cannot land. The
navy department announces that no
attempt will be made to interfere with
British vessels OF the high seas.
1t was learned that the instructions
cabled the commanding officer of the
Boston were quite specific and thus
constitute a modification of the more
general instructions previously sent to
him. The purpose In sending the spe-
cffic instructions was to prevent the
commander of the Boston from going
to the limit his general instructions
might have warranted. 1t is the de-
sire Of the administration to do moth
Ing that may be considered an act Of
hostility to Colombia.

A WHITE MANS LOVE.

The TINES. DISPATCH of November
18th. 1908, contained sensational arti-
Gle under the caption of els Dragged
and Robbed" A closer investigation
reveals the fact that white man, PRES
ctoUs HoRNLEY, came to Richmond
from Fort Lee, village about miles
from this city.
He went to house of prostitution
kept by MOLLY WHITE, and in compa
nyVwith one of the inmates of the house
was driven in a cab to a point beyond
the limits of Manchester. BY this time,
he was drunk
The driver report the facts to the
Manchester police and they went out
and found. the white man lying on the
ground still drunk. He claimed to have
had $3.50 on his person when he went in
co the house, which amount was miss.
ing
BE that as it may, MOLLY WHITE and
her Negro women were arrested. while
the one who went with him escaped.
The case was heard in the Police
; St00 and 90 days security for maintain
ing a,disorderly house. She was sent
on 50 the grand jury upon the charge
OF robbing PRRsCIoUs HoRNLEY of $3.50
and bench warIan issued, charging
her with keeping house of fame
The other Negro women in the house
were fined.
AS to the white man, he was permit
ted to 20 to his home, although it is
, known that he was in this disreputable
q house and the law forbids cohabitation
not Unly with white females, but colored
ones rs we'll
What think the white men of this To-
Gcality of this condition of affairs Some
OF them are advocating racial separa-
Sipn. Is this the cause of it? These
Negro women did not go after this
white man. He sought them out, and
from the character of the house, the
presumption is that he indu' sed in the
MOST fragrant kind of sociaI equality.
The rigors of the law are not visited
upon the man, who came from the
county and INDUCED in the hilarities
and immoralities of life, but upon the
women who were the recipient of his at
76entions.
We cannot understand why some of
these white men with the thousands of
Aovable white women in the land should
seek out this class of Negro humanity
a kind that the Negro man of respecta-
'soility will not associate with.
Still, these white men appear as
slough they will die for their compan-
Sopship and lose $3.50 in order to be in
their company.
We are of the opinion that this white
man should go to Jail even if the officials
there will not permit him to associate
IN that hostelry with the women. whom
he seems to have so dearly loved.
Many a colored man has noted in 81
aepce these plain violations of the rules
cof decency.
Let Us have Negro men for Negro
women and white men for white wo-

A TEST LAND CASE.
Secretary Hitchcock Heard Arguments In
voiving Legality Of Entries Made By
Soldiers widows.

Washington, Sept 4.-Secretary
Hitchcock yesterday heard arguments
in case involving the legality OF en-
tries made by soldiers widows In the
interest Of cattlemen In western Ne
braska. The case is that Of Anna
Bowles and involves the requirements,
under section 1907 Of the revised stat
utes, governing the rights Of soldiers
widows to make homestead entries,
particularly with reference to the
point as to whether the requirements
include residence. The entry woman in
this case contends that residence on
the land entered Is not necessary.
She also contends that having made
an entry she can lease the lana or
make an agreement to sell on the
completion OF her final entry. The
commissioner Of the general land Of
fice refused to concede these points and
the case went before the secretary on
appeal. The land involved is In the
Broken Bow land district and the case
is a test case.

New York, Sept. 3.-The fourth at
tempt to sail what was expected to be

ance and Shamrock III. failed miser-
ably yesterday. The yachts were not
even sent across the line. Both boats
we're towed out to Sandy Hook light
ship in dense fog and fiat calm at
lO:30 a. m. and then waited two hours
In the hope Of q wind from some other
direction than the east to blow away
the fog and give them speed enough
to cover 30 miles within 81 hours.
The dwindling feet was reduced to
lust % craft Besides the New. York
Yacht clubs tugs, the revenue cutters
and the newspaper feet there was only
one excursion steamer and q few
yachts. The two racing yachts held
to their tow and circled about the
feet during the wait The calm was
varied only by a wind never exceeding
three knots. At 1880 o'clock the att
tempt was abandoned and announce
ment made that another would be
made to-day.
