The effects of this have been favor ably felt by the police department. Po- licemen state that there is not nearly so much petit thieving now as when these boys were turned loose on the eommun- ity.

NEGROES WILL MEET
 ID HELP THE RACE.
Will Garry on Judge Feagin's
 Probation Plan
GENERAL CALL IS ISSUED
Prominent Members of Negro Race Will Gather in Birmingham on June 24 to Take Up Matter
 of Reformatory.

The movement started by Judge Feagin several months ago to reform the little negro boys of Birmingham. or those who came into his court. has taken on a much larger aspect. and 1t seems almost cer- tain now that the negroes will organize a state association to aid in this work. and to make the reform movement spread to every city and county in the state.
 A committee of four prominent negroes has issued call for a meeting in Bir- mingham on June 24 for the purpose of organizing a state association, and it Is expected that quite a number of repre- sentative negroes will be present.
 Call Is Issued.
 The call is as follows;
 We, the undersigned. do hereby issue this call to all the members and friends of our race to meet in the A. M. D. Zion church, Birmingham, Ala, at o'clock D. m, June 24, 1904, for the purpose of organizing a State Reformatory associa- ton to operate reform school to train and uplift the colored criminal youths of Alabama. This call Is to help the thought iSSS anu -heipisss coloTeu youths WHO, TOT want of proper training, are in the chain gang with hard criminals. onlyto go from bad to worse.
 Less than six months ago we began a probation movement here at the sugges- tion of Judge N. B. Feagin, and now we have 175 boys of our race in our charge surrounding them with good influences, who but for this would be upon the streets in chains. Now we want to en- list the entire sixty-six counties of this state in one great effort, organized in one great body, whose work will be to care for the homeless and wayward boys and girls, for they are the men and women of tomorrow.

JAPANESE CONTINUE TO IMPLICIT DAMAGE UPON

ATROCITIES OF RUSSIANS Reign Of Terror is Feared at New ChWang- --Neu-
 tralS Must Act.

New Chwanss Feb. 1s.--viceroy Aiexcff left Port Artrar. proceeding to Harbin with General Paua. the chief of stan, and the general stan. It Is said that the Rus sian army and navy commands win be reorganixed and that General Kerpatsky will command the Yalu division, which is expected to be attacked by the Jap anese forces.
 Atrocities are daily perpetrated on foi- eigners and naiises, both by the organ ized police and incoming, troops. which makes 1t impossible for the civil admin istrator of New ciiwang to control the situation. It is feared that a reign of terror will be precipitated if the neutral powers remain inactive.
 A captain of police. with ten soldiers, without any proVoeation, destroyed the contents of hotel owned by German. where three Japanese had registered un- der the protection of the civil adminis- tration. These Japanese were bound, stabbed and robbed of food, money and jewelry. They were rescued with difi- culty by United States Consul Miller. to- gether with three women refugees, ali of whom. the civil administrator has assured Mir. Miller. would be protected.
 The administration admits the gravity of the situation. bat declares that Vice. roy AlexefE alone can remedy It. It IS believed here. however. that the main tenance of order st this treaty port and the prevention of these violations of in- ternStional rights can be insured only by an instant international proclamation supported by an armed force.
