NEW YORK MERCHANTS
SUE EDWARD H. THOMAS
Thomas, Who Is Administrator Of the
G. NJ Jones Estate, Says Plain
tiff Owed the Estate.

It is expected that the trial Of the suit
of several New York firms against Ed
ward II. Thomas. administrator of the
estate OF the late George Milton Jones,
to recover amounts aggregating more
than $4,000. will result in some inter-
estiag Developments
The plaintiffs in the original proceed
ings are AdoIph Rosenthal. Cattle, Et-
finger & Hammel. Heyman < Kramer.
and Solomon Lnderborn, who claim
sums aggregating more than $4,000 for
goods furnished Mr.. Jones in connection
with the jewelry business he conducted
on Street, between Twelfth and
Thirteenth Streets northwest under the
firm name Of r. NJ Dobbins & Co. 1t Is
explained that the amounts claimed are
due on certain p7omissOry notes. for the
sums mentioned. made by George Milton
Jones. as n member OF the firm OF r. NJ
Dobbins & Co, which carried on jew
elry business in Washington.
In answer Mr. Thomas says George
Milton Jones did not make the promis-
sorry notes the basis Of the suits. and
further that he was not a member OF
the partnership referred 70 by the
clair,aSts.
As an Offset against the plaintiffs Mr.
Thomas says that they are indebted 70
the Jones estate for goods delivered and
money paid them in sums aggregating
about S25, 600.
John z. Laskey is named as counsel
for the administrator Of the Jones es-
tate.

Japan and the ExiIeS.

A story comes by way of Paris that
japanese emissaries have been trying
to get up a revolt among the political
exiles in Siberia. This tale may be
true, but it has all the earmarks of
news which, like some other foreign
manufactures. is made in Europe"
for the express purpose of export to
the United States.
1t may very well be that the
political exiles sympathize with Japan
in her fight against Russia. though
it is extremely doubtful whether all
of them would. One may strive earn
estly against the existing government
in ones country and still not be will
ing to fight against her for an alien
race.
But even if they did, to a man,
sympathize with Japan, there is next
TO nothing which could be accom-
plished by them. They are In vii

and for the most part without money.

own sakes. Their prison walls are
the leagues of inhospitabie country
which lies between them and any
civilized land What chance would
they have of uniting in any definite
revolutionary movement. and. If they
did. what good would It do Japan?
The troops now in Manchuria would
not be recalled to put down a revolt
In Siberia; Russia could do that with
her left hand.
Finally, and conclusively, how
would japanese emissaries get to the
exiles TO say anything TO them? They
would have 10 be uncommonly sharp

have done had he not been a native
of a friendly country, with all due

A SenSeless Falsehood.

Some Washington correspondent
with more imagination than truth
fulness recently wrote TO a Richmond
paper that on Memorial Day the
principal of Washington school, in
making an address to the pupils, took
from his pocket a small Confederate
flag. which was cheered by one of the
boys; and that the principal not only
rebuked the boy. but threw the flag
on the floor and stamped on II.
Most people will find # difficult to
see any object in telling a yarn like
this. unless. of course, It were true,
in which case It would indicate a con
siderable lack of sense on the part
OF the offending principal. Washing
ton school teachers are not idiots,
and a man must be an idiot to do
such a thing as that in a school in
which very possibly half the children
might have been brought up in SYM
pathy with the Lost Cause"
This is an example of the kind OF
stuff which INSCRIPTIONS persons oc-
casionally amuse themselves by dis
tributing about the South, apparently
in order to keep alive an enmity be-

RAISULI MAY FREE

Objection to Bandits Terms Made by

Unwilling to trust RaisuH Great Hrit-
ain and the United states have ADVISED
the Sultan Of Morocco against comply

Tarudant. but the British minister at
Tangier. and Mr. Gummere, United
States consul general. both advised
against such action. and suggested that
the money be held by the Shereef OF
NVazan pending release Of prisoners.
The. state Department was advised
Yesterday by Mr.. Gummere Of this ac-
ton. In his dispatch TO the department
he said it was believed the ransom OF
the prisoners would be effected today.
RaisuH originally demanded that the
United States and Great Britain guar
autee him and his followers immunity
from punishment, and also asked that
the two powers guarantee the payment
Of the $4,000 ransom
The willingness of the Sultan Of Mo-
rocco to pay the ransom Immediately Is

Red Cross Controversy
NOw a Closed Incident
Special Committee TO Investigate Accounts
Reports That Further Inquiry Is UnneCes-
sary in the Light of Recent Developments

There viii be no extensive hnvestiga-
ton into the accounts Of the National
Red Cross Society.
This decision was reached ut a confer
ence of the members OF the executive
committee yesterday. The report made
by the special committee appointed 20
make such an investiga ton was Re
ceived and made public. 1t was ex-
pectcd that this report would be a
voluminOus affair. going deeply into
facts and figures. Instead. II was sim
ply a statement of the doings of the
committee. and in full it is as follows:
AT the last annual meeting Of the
American National Red Cross II was
moved that the Hon. Richard Olney.
chairman OF the meeting. be requested
20 select a committee OF three. not lin
tied 10 the Red Cross. 10 examine and
report upon the accounts of the So
ciety. Mr.. Tanner. In making the mo-
ton, said:
LET US bury this dissension which
Goes exist and which calls The Red
Cross before the country today
The motion was seconded by Mrs
Logan. Mr.. Olney stated the motion
as follows:

Free and Equal.

In terming an interesting false
hood" the statement of the Declara-
ton of Independence that "all men
are created free and equal DR. Gun
saulus should have clarified his posi-
ton by defining precisely what he
meant by equality and freedom.
Freedom is something to be won, :"
he said later. Men are not born
free"
A discrepancy of statement will
here be noticed. The Declaration Of
Independence declares that all men
are created" free and equal. Dr.
Gunsaulus interprets this to mean
born" free. May he not be twisting
the words of the fathers in unwar-
ranted fashion? May it not be that
the fathers meant exactly what they
said, and that Dr. Gunsaulus means
something entirely different?
At the time the Declaration of In
dependence was written slavery was
an institution. which could not be
overlooked and which most appar-
emily denied DIR. Gunsaulus' interpre-
tation of men being born free.
Born" as we understand it, means
mans advent into this worlds activi-
ties and conditions. Created" has a
broader meaning, referring to Gods
endowment of man when He niade
man 'in His own image and like
ness" It must be admitted that this
view of creation guarantees mans
equality, for God is no respecter of
persons" and mans freedom, if man
is actually like God in quality
Consequently, it may be that the
trainers OF the Declaration of indie
pendence came much nearer positive
truth in their broad statement than
did Dr. Gunsaulus in his limited in
depreciation.
The dispute is really over what
constitutes freedom. Is license to do
wrong freedom? Such costly ex-
periences as the French Revolution
and the present Colorado civil strife
would prove otherwise. License to do
wrong is really slavery. In its wake
follows inevitable oppression and suf-
fCring.
But, regardless Of limitations in life
and material handicaps, man is al
ways free to do right. and also equal
to doing right. if his purpose be
honest and his endeavor be stalwart
Let DR.. Gunsaulus turn TO this loftier
conception of the Declaration of In
dependence. VIII he then deny that
the fathers, unknown to themselves
perhaps, inscribed Immortality i'm
mortal truth when he wrote: al
men are created free and equal?" Il
we have rot attained their ideal, the
shame is ours, not theirs.

Mr.. Thinner moves that the chair
man Of this meeting De authorized and
instructed 10 select committee OF three
20 investigate all matters in difference
between the minority and ma jOrity
members Of this corporation
The motion was adopted unani-
mously.
Although the motion was that the
committee examine and report upOn the
accounts Of the Red Cross Society. IL is
evident that this investigation was con-
sidered merely as an item of the mat
tiers Of difference between the minority
and majority members. The great pur-
pose for which the committee was to
make such investigation was 10 lead
TO a proper adjustment OF such differ
ences.
The agreement OF parties is the end
of the law, and the parties in this con-
trOversy having reached an agreement
by friendly conferences and mutual con-
cessions. the committee Is OF opinion
that no further action on its part is

People With Claws.

1t has long been evident to the dis
corning that people with paws are ex-
istent in large numbers in our civili-
zation. They are the people whose
fingers are all thumbs, who drop
things, and break things, and punch
holes in other peoples backs with
their elbows when they get in and
out OF street cars. and otherwise
demonstrate their clumsiness. Late
ly another breed of semi-developed
beings has been making itself felt,
namely, the tribe of people with
claws
People with claws are not content
with seeing any beautiful thing: they
want a piece of it to take home. The
Clipped bas-relief, the mutilated
shrub. the chopped-up rope with
which a man was lynched, are their
work. They are the people who go to
weddings and grab the bride by the
gown, and tear the decorations to bits
the minute the bridal party is out of
the church. They are the people who
go about with a chip On each shout
der. and at the slightest provocation
are ready 10 scratch and tear. Now
and then specimens of the genus get
into the police court, having allowed
their primitive passions TO get the
best Of them so far as to tear another
womans hat of, scratch her face, or
go after her with a cowhide. At the
slightest prOvocation their voices rise
to falsetto screeches and their hands
grasp weapons of offense. What be-
comes of the children raised up in the
dens of people with claws? What
would they make Of heaven if they
ever succeeded in getting there by
main force of will?
II is lamentable, but true, that peo-
pie with claws usually belong to the
alleged gentler sex. Men do not
scratch; they kick. The masculine
counterpart of the Woman with
Claws, however, exists. It is the Man
with the Hoofs.
