EIGHT DEAD
IN RACE WAR
Lumber District of East
Texas is In
VoIved.
SIX VICTIMS WHITE
Trouble PreCipitated by
DisCharging Lazy

SIX VICTIMS WHITE

Galveston, Texas, March 30.-Eight
violent deaths. six victims being
whites and two negroes, are the net
results of a race war that is in prog
ress of the lumber regions of east
Texas.
The trouble began two or three
weeks ago, when the lumber compan-
les began To Systematically rid them
selves of shiftless characters. This
was followed by one suspicious fire
after another, incendiarism prevailing
ut nearly every mill of note in east
Texas and western Louisiana.
Investigation developed rags and
other combustible material scattered
and saturated with oil. Later an at
tempt was made to burn the town of
Sour Lake, where several shiftless ne
groes were discharged from the oil
fields few days ago.
One Negro Lynched.
This was followed in rapid success
sion by the lynching of John May
nard, cOlored, at Montgomery, who
paid with his life the penalty of hav-
ing, with two other negroes. attacked
and robbed several lumbermen. one
of whom. Martin Surovak. died from
the effects

Monday night while Henry Bullock,
Sid Stewart and NJ. \. McNeal (white)
were returning home at Silsbee they
were ambushed by a gang of negroes.
Bullock was shot and killed and his
companions were severely wounded.
Arms and ammunition were AT once
into east Texas by the whole
sale, but the bad negroes took warm
ing and fed.

WANTED TO PROVIDE FOR THIRTY
HORSES IN WHITE HOUSE STABLES

I'VE have to. provide for 30 horses

why do you have to care for 30
horses?" continued Mr.. Gillett.
There are the horses for the pres

executive office horses. and all the
horses we use in the public buildings

How many horses do you have?"
There are seven or eight now. and
they are increasing all the time"

ENDEAVORING TO ADJUST
MINE SCALE IN FRANKLIN

Springfield. ILL.,, March 30. - The
joint scale committee Of Illinois coal
operators and miners spent much time
trying to fix a scale for Franklin coun-
ty, where mines have been opened
during the past eight months. The
county adjoins Williamson. The min
ers want 4S cents a ton, but the op-
orators are willing to concede only As
cents. the same rate as fixed for Will
hanson county. The matter was final
ly referred to a subcommittee.
Des Moines, Ia, March 3O.-The
joint meeting of the miners and opera
tors resulted in no agreement as to
the wage scale in district Nos. 1 and
4. The operators have agreed to abide
by the indianapolis agreement in all
cases, and the miners refuse so far as
the two districts are concerned. 1t is
not unlikely now that the operators
will shut down their mines until more
satisfactory arrangements can be
made.

Washington. March 3O.-The record
of the hearings before the house ap-
propriations committee contains an
explanation from the White House
view point of the need both for new
stables. and for 80 horses, enough for
Il small troop of cavalry. Col. Symons,
superintendent of public buildings
and grounds. first asked for 100000.
raised IL to $4,000. reduced it TO 500
600. and the committee finally cut it
ont altogether.
The record shows that when Chair
man Hemenway called up the subject
of the 100000 appropriation. Col
Symons replied:
The conditions down there have be-
come so very bad that it seems to be
an absolute necessity To improve that
stable this year if possible. The horses
have been ruined by simply standing
in that miserable stable"

their infantry arrived too late. The
detachment protecting our rear guard

losses in men and horses
''On our side. unfortunately, three

Stepanoff and Androoko in the chest

Three Cossacks were killed and twelve

Brush Between Sir Henry and
Balfcur Takes Place Before
Adjournment.
LIBERAL ATTACKS THE CABINET
Premier Replies, Inviting a Motion Of
Censure-ChurchiIl Badly
Treated.

London, March 30. - The usual no
ton providing for the adjournment Of
the house of commons over the East
err holidays gave the Liberal leader,
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerma an
opportunity to make an attack on the
government. He criticised in detail
the whole policy OF the ministry,
which, he declared, except in the mat
ter Of Chinese labor, was marked by
''indecisiOn, confusion and vacilliations
a tortuous course and a misty at
mosphere." Sir Henry added that he
did not think 1t was in accordance with
the spirit of the constitution that Pre-
mier Balfour should retain power
when the country had shown ut ev-
cry opportunity afforded it that he no
longer enjoyed its favor.
BaIfour Says He "Cant See It."
Balfour, replying, said he noted the
anxiety of the Liberal leader that he
should resign, but he was quite Una
BILE TO see why the government should
take the unprecedented course of re-
signing office while it retained the con-
fidence of the house. He agreed with
Lord Rosebery that the country should
not be rushed in regard to the fiscal
question and pointed out that the gov
ernment majority even now was larger
than the majority with which Sir Hen
ry Campbell-Bannerma assumed Of
fee in order to carry home rule.
Unkind Challenge to Sir Henry.
There was no reason why the cour-
age Of the Unionists should be less
than that of the Liberals, nor why the
Unionists should relinquish their task
because faint-heartedness had been
shown in some directions. Sir Henry
could settle the question OF the gov
ernment's resignation or not by vote
Of censure. Balfour concluded with
declaring that the governments fiscal
policy was that of real progressive free
trade.
Snub for Winston Churchill.
When Winston Spencer Churchill
Conservative rose and pressed BAY
four for n further explanation of the
governments fiscal policy, saying the
vacillation of the government caused
him to become one of its opponents
instead of one of fits supporters, the.
premier and all the UnioniSts except
ten trooped out of the house. The
incident led TO protests ON the part
of other members against the dis
courtesy shown to Churchill.
Alien Immigration Bill.
The alien immigration bill was in-
troduced in the commons and passed
its first reading without a division.
The bill follows the Recommendations
of the report OF the royal commission
on alien immigration. issued Aug. IL
last. that the immigration OF certain
classes OF aliens into the United King
dom be subjected to state control.
The house adjourned until April L.
Palfor says that the budget probably
viii be introduced April 19.
