MASONIC SIGN SAVED BIN.
Negro on the Point of Being Lynched Gives the
Sign of Distress
Special to New York Times.

SpGClaI TO new I OTk IlLIeS' r-
Dallas. Texas, March 19-The Rev. D..
r. Stokes, the most prominent negro
preacher and educator in Dallas, has
made known to United States Attorney
w H AtweIl the facts of an attempt
to lynch him in Gregg county on the
night Of February Is and the saving Of
his life by one of the most prominent
white men of Gregg county, who had at
first been one of the foremost in demand
ing that he be lynched.
Stokes states that he had been hired
TO make speeches against prohibition. In
the midst of the last speech he made a
large body of white men rushed into the
meeting. seized him. took him to Sabine
River. rowed him to the other side, and
prepared to hang him In his desperation
he determined to see if his high standing
in negro Free Masonry would avail him
anything, and accordingly he made the
sign Of distress of the masonic order. AL
most instantly a white man, leader ap-
parently, but who had been one of the
strongest advocates of the proposal to
lynch him, stepped to his side and de-
manded that the negro preachers life be
spared. He refused to give his asso-
ciatos his reasons for his change of mind,
but simply said, Spare him and l will
guarantee that he never again sets foot
in Gregg county"
The crowd finally consented. and the
white Mason hurried Stokes out of the
county. Stokes has not been there since,
and says he never intends to go there
again
United States Attorney AtweI has
made an investigation and has substan-
tiated the truth of Stokes story Mr.. At
well says he knows of no law under
which the United States authorities can
start prosecutions, and Stokes does not
desire that any be begun. Both he and
Atwell refuse to give the name of the
white man alluded to. Gregg county went
strongly for prohibition in the election
held there.

Of the best ships for the new navy as
well as fighting vessels for Russia and
Japan has been saved from the immi-
nent danger of having to pass into the
hands of a receiver.
With a plant which, according to
recent estimate of the Audit company
of New York. is conservatively valued
at $12,500,000, with an international
reputa ton and with a large share of
the United States governments best
naval contracts awarded it year after
year, the Cramp concern has been in
sore need for several years of an in
crease in it's available working capital.
1t has outstanding notes to meet
amounting to 100000 or $3,000,000
Much of the firms outstanding paper
is held in New York city, and this ac-
counts in part for the fact that George
f. Baker, president of the First Ma
tional bank of New York, and other
large interests centering in the me-
tropolis have been active in floating
the present loan and will doubtless be
influential in directing the future poll

The United States Steel corporation
is also largely interested in the reor-
ganization. The Cramp company is one
of the greatest consumers of its prod
ucts and has been one of its most eX-
tensive customers.
One of the members of the board
said that the bankers who are behind
the new loan will doubtless insist upon
actual as well as nominal control of
the business. They will probably not
only name an operating committee, but
that committee will likely select as
manager a man of combined executive,
financial and technical ability to super
wise the actual work of construction.

Two Score Passengers Hurt In Pitts
burg Accident.
PITTSBURG, April 20.-Because an
electric brake refused to work a crowd
ed Western avenue car of the Pittsburg
Railways company ran away on Fed
eral street, Allegheny, wrecked a car
riage, broke through the safety gates
of the Fort Wayne railroad, derailed a
fast moving freight train and then
went to pieces. Almost all of the forty
FIVE passengers aboard the car were
hurt, though only one fatally.
When the motorman tried to make
the safety stop on the steep grade at
Stockton avenue he found the power
brake was useless and the car beyond
control. 1t had about 125 yards to go
before reaching the gates of the rail
road, which were down to let a freight
train pass. The big car gained momen-
tum every second and dashed through
the safety gates, struck an empty re-
frigerator car in the moving freight
train, turned it over and derailed sew
eral other cars. By this time the troll
ley was a wreck itself, and its passen-
gers were strewn in all directions, the
wonder being that there were not many
fatalities.

THE WIFE'S ALLOWANCE.
In the Matrim OmiaI Partnership She
should Share in the
Income.

Should the wife have an allowance, a
definite sum set apart out of the family
income for herself. or should she have
to ask her husband, as if it were char
ity, for money with which to buy her
hats, gloves, ribbons and the thousand
and one needful trifles? Men are apt
to think that because women do not
do the work for which they (the men)
are paid. they have no part in earning
it, says Woman's Home Companion,
and are sooner or later inclined to ask:
where is the quarter I gave you yes
terday?"
Marriage is partnership in special
sense, in which the man is generally
the breadwinner; but it by no means
follows that the woman is merely an
ornament or doll arrayed in pretty
dresses or housegowns. In the ideal
home the wife bears her share of the
burdens that must come, it would
seem, to all of us. She keeps the house
more or less deliberately, according to
the circumstances If she has one serv-
ant or more, her burdens take other
forms than as IT she did her own work.
If she has children, there is the respon-
sibility of caring for them and training
them. The mothers influence upon
her children for good or evil is very
great. If there are guests at the home,
the matter of entertainment largely
devolves upon the wife. Her duties are
multifarious, and when she has done
all, she is expected to be companion
for her husband, and to be interested
in the things in which he is interested.
All this is just as much the contribu-
tion to the household happiness and
comfort as the money the husband
brings home every week In business
matters the wife should be treated like
a business partner; she should have an
allowance, and should not have false
sentiment about asking for it.
