NEGROES ARE AROUSED.
National Afro American Council Sends
Out an Address.

Washington, Jan. 30.-An address to
the country on the race question was
sent out by the National AfrO-Anerican
council, in session here today The adj
dress is signed by Alexander Walters,
Cyrus Field Adams and William A.
Pledger.
The address declares that the colored
race is now passing through one of the
most critical periods of its existence and
that systematic efforts is being made
in the south to withdraw the franchise
from AfrO-Americans Mob murders
are denounced, the peOnage system on
many southern farms is called attention
to and a remedy is urged.
The address protests against the jim
crow car in the south and the inter-
state commerce commission is asked to
interfere. In referring to the present
administrat ton, the address adds
I'VE heartily endorse the deliverances
of President Roosevelt with reference to
the fitness for appointment to office and
the attitude of the federal government
toward all of its citizens, regardless OF
race or color. He has impaired new life
and vigOr to the time honored principles
and traditions of human rights and has
given hope and inspiration to a people
struggling her0ically beneath the burden
of hate and prescription We commend
Theodore Roosevelt to the affection and
confidence Of our people regardless of
party affiliatiOn."

Experience.

company as a driver of delivery

street suffering severely from injuries
received in a strange manner.
Tuesday afternoon, while unhitching
the horse which he drove he fell in a
swoOn or fit and the horse became
frightened and ran all over the yard.
The animal had been partly unhitched
before the driver fell, and the harness
was torn to fragments before he was
stopped. The driver was taken home,
after being examined by a physician,
and was able to come to work yester-
day. having seemingly recovered from
the attack. He had gone into the stable
to harness the horse, the same one
which had run away the day before,
and while he was in the stall had an
other fit and fell under the horses feet.
The horse was frenzied with fright and
jumped all over the PROSTATE man, cut

was in time to pun the unconscious
man from under the horses feet before
he was killed. Holland is suffering from

KING EATS roo MlCH.
Called in Famous Physician Who Did
Not Humor Him.

London, Jan. 30.-It is well known that
the king occasionally suffers from his liver
and that the royal physicians are some
times called in to treat him for this com
plant. The latest occasion was the other
day, when Sir Richard Powell. a promi-
nent physician extraordinary to the king,
was summoned to Buckingham Palace.
The physician is a baronet of the old
fashioned school, with the pronounced
characteristic of speaking his mind with
out regard to social position of his patient
After asking his majesty a few questions
in regard to his general health, the doctor
laconfcally ordered him to strip. The king
pleasantly asked what portions of his
clothing he would take off On being told
to strip to the waist he quietly did so.
The doctor then proceeded to examine
him in the usual manner. utilizing the
sethoscope and another pencil-like instru-
ment, Until the king, who was not used 20
this vigorous sort of examination OF ms
organs. became anxious that It should
conclude. Meanwhile Sir Francis I-aking,
physician to the king, entered and watch
ed the procedure
When the practical baronet brusquely
pronounced. You have eaten too muchf
you have drunk too much; I will send YOU
parted with the scantiest ceremony He
had hardly reached the door when Sir
Francis Laking, who was following him,
overlook him and made protest against
his abruptness. The eminent specialist,
who was apparently not IN the best OF
hunor, only retorted: My dear Laking,
if there is any squirming to do you must
do it."
DR. Laking returned to soothe his ma
jesty's ruffled feelings and remarked by
way of palliation; Sir Richard is d very
busy man just now" The kings reply,
which typifed the state of his mind. was:
''Laking, I thought he was going to tat
too me-"
A story is told of the same physician
that when he was called to prescribe for
the Duchess of Manchester, he ordered
her to disrobe But, Sir Richard,
haven't any maid here" she said, to which
the baronet retorted: Madame, ] have nc
intention OF examining your maid.

NEWS SERVICE AT SEA.
Marconi Is Making His First
Experiment Today.

London, Jan. 3O-The first attempt to
supply incoming steamers with a news
service was made today when Reuters
Telegram company filed with the Mar
conf Wireless Telegraph company 100
words of news for the Cunard line
steamer Lucania, which left New York
Saturday last and which is due to ar
rive at Queenstown today or tomorrow
The wireless company thus far will only
engage to attempt to transmit messages
twenty to thirty miles from Browhead,
SO the news will only reach the steamer
q few hours before her arrival at
Queenstown. The company VIII have a
better chance with the Atlantic trans
port line steamer Minnetonka, which
also left New York Saturday to which a
news message viii be transmitted to-
morrow. The Minnetonka passes TWEEN
ty miles from the Sicily islands. but
only reaches London forty-eight hours
later.

Adams Lost His Fight.

The house today knocked out two bills
championed by Adams of Sedgwick in
the interest of laboring men. They were
to make employers liable for damages
when an employee should be injured by
the act of another employe. Mr.. Adams
explained that these bills only extended
to laboring men in other occupations the
same protection as is now afforded rail-
road employees. The bills had been turn
ed down by the majority of the judic-
larry committee, but Mr. Adams pre-
scented a minority report in their favor,
and moved that they be printed and
placed on the calendar for discussion.
This brought out opposition from Rep
resentative Kirkpatrick who insisted
that there was no use in having com
mittees if the house did not propose to
abide by their recommendations.
Mr.. Adams motion was lost by vote
of 50 to 80.

MR.. Unions PLAN.
Didn't Try to Disfranchlse Negroes
but Unnaturalized Foreigners.

There was a bad tangle Yesterday in
regard to Representative Unions con
stitutional amendment proposition 1ne
amendment was with reference 10 tne
qualification of voters. and the present
wording of the constitution had been
followed with the additions which Mr.
Linton wished to make, and which re
ferred to the patura llZatlOn OF foreign
ers The present constitution says that
white male persons may be permitted
to vote. but the fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution made the
word white of no effect by giving thu
franchise to negroes The wording or
the amendment as Mr.. Linton intro
duced it was as follows.
Section I. Every white male person
Of d years Of age and upwards who
shall have resided in Kansas for six
months next preceding any election.
and in the township or ward in which
he offers to vote at least thirty days
next preceding such election. and be-
longing to either of the following classes
shalt be deemed a qualified electOr.
First, natural born citizens of the Unit
ed States Second. persons of foreign
birth who shall have become citizens OF
the United States, conforma bly, to the
laws Of the United States on the sub
ject of naturalization"
Mr.. Linton says he instructed the
stenographer to leave out the word
white in preparing the copy. but ii
was inadvertently left in, although il
really had no force.
The point which Mr. Linton wishes to
make is to keep foreigners from voting
until they have really become natural
lied citizens
Under our present system" he said
today, "a foreigner who comes to this
state on May I and files his declaration
of intention to become an American s-it-
izen can vote at the next election. nc
matter whether he ever becomes a citi-
zen or not. The natural born American
may be a great deal better qualified To
vote, but he has to wait until he is .
before he can do so. What I want to dc
is TO make foreigners comply with the
naturalization laws Of the United States
before they are given a chance to vote. ,
Mr. Linton today had the word white
eliminated from his resolution.
