Severe on Deserters

As a remedy for desertion in the
army Brigadier General Frederick d.
Grant, commander Of the department
of the lakes. in his annual report for.
warded to the secretary of war. recon-
mends the abolition of the practice of
sending deserters to post prisons where
the work is little more than light ex-
orcise. AS a substitute for post prisons
Brigadier General Grant suggests SEN
fencing deserters to military prisons
with long terms at hard labor, The
work required of general prisoners at
posts ordinarily does not ever approx
mate in quantity the labor performed
by the good soldier.

SEPARATE SCHOOL
Negroes at Bonnet Springs, Kan.,
Oppose Race Distinction
coFFEEWLLE FAvoRs PLAN
Notwithstanding Kansas Law Does Not
Recognize Race Division. They
May Succeed In Work

An Effort Is Ltlng made by the
s,lpoS ioard at Former Springs, Kan,
to separate tine Wilkes and the negroes
ia TIE pU,lic schools. When school
opnnel ne ncgiccs we're told that sep
arate rooms had been set aside for
them and that EcCrO teachers had been
employed t. Instruct thsm. Two
rooms on The ilrst fOor were set aside
fer the lis neg;o rnI is. The white
children were placed in the second
floor rooms.
The negroes refused to submit to the
proposition and all the negro pupils
went home. A meeting OF the negroes
was held and il was decided to on
test the right of the school board to
maintain separate schools. The school
toard consulted the county authorities
ard was TOLD that there was no law
in Kansas authorizing the establish
ment OF separate schools. except In
Cities OF tho first class.
The school board has been authorized
by tho voters in the district to issue
bonds for the erection Of q separate
school. In case the negroes refuse to
occupy the separate school and insist
on attending the school with the white
children they will be protected by the
Kansas laws. There are only three
members Of the school board. J. D..
Waters. Frank Warner and ]. w. Nor
rison. The three stand together on
the separate school proposition and
they declare they will follow out the
plan Of establishing the separate
schools and will offer the negroes equal
facilities with the whites.
At a meeting OF the school board In
Coneyville, Kan. a plan was adopted
setting aside five rooms In the city
school for the exclusive use Of the
negro children and negro teachers will
be employed. This solves the separate
school problem. which has been vex-
ing the citizens OF Coieyville for the
past few years. The negroes favor the
plan and will send their children to
school this year. There are about $50
negro school children in the city.

Ample Notice 10 be Given On withdraw wal
OF Entries
In the interest of fairness to pros
pective homesteaders throughout the
Omitted States, Secretary Hitchcock has
approved an opinion by the assistant
attorney general for the insurance de-
partment sustaining the contention of
the commissioner OF the general land
ofhce that ninety days notice should be
given before lands which have been
temporarily withdrawn from settle
ment and later restored to the public
domain can be filed on for settlement.
The decision establishes a settled pol
Icy upon the part Of the general land
office on the question of whether such
notice should be given. which has been
a question for some time. The new
policy will give an equal chance to all
to locate upon them and prevent any
undue advantage being given to per-
sons living In proximity to them and
having knowledge that they would be
restored to the public domain.

JOHN BULL UNMOVED
Will Not Notice Rus,is's Protest Against
Thibet Treaty

The foreign Office at London declines
to discuss the Russian communication
respecting the Thibetan treaty. Russia
Is seeking to establish whether the
published version of the treaty is cor
rect. and if SO, she will lodge a formal
protest at the British foreign Office. as
announced from St. Petersburg. and
eHergetically object to its ratification
and its recognition by other powers.
1t IL claimed by the British foreign
Office that IL is essential that Great
Britain should HAYS guarantees for the
faithful performance by Thibct of the
obligations incurred as a result of the
expedition and 1t is again asserted that
the permanent occupation of Thibet Is
not intended. The Russian inquiry,
thus far. has not been supported in any
quarter. Germany has no interest in
Thibet so IL Is said at the German
embassy in London and II is not eX-
pected that she will take any action
In the matter.

Appalling Disaster on Southern
Railroad
AN iNExcUsAsLe ACCIDENT


Running on a roadbed In a supposed
" high condition of maintenance and
having about them every safeguard
known to a modern railroad, two
trains on the Southern railway. carry
Ing heavy lists of passengers came to-
gether In a frightful head-on collision
near Hodges. Tenn, sending fifty-four
persons to death and injuring 1870. sew
eral OF whom will probably die.
This appalling loss of life and MAIN
ing OF the living. resulted apparently
from the disregaTding Of orders given
TO the two trains to meet at a station
which has for a long time been their
regular meeting point.
This action on the part OF the en-
gineer of the w%estbound train is made
more inexplicable by the fact that the
accident happened in broad daylight.
and according to the best information
obtainable. he had the order In a little
frame In front of him as his monster
OF Iron and steel rushed by the station
and n mile and a half further on came
full upon IN eastbound passenger train.
The possibility exists that the Inflated
engineer may have been asleep. The
trains were on time and not making
over thirty-flve miles an hour, yet the
impact az they rounded a curve and
came suddenly upon each other was
frightful.
Both engines and the major portions
OF both trains were demolished. and
why the orders were disregarded or
misinterpreted will probably never be
known. as the engineers OF the two
trains were crushed. their bodies re-
naming for hours under the wreckage
OF their locomotives.

BOT Hurt
The five-year-old daughter OF Charles
Richie. of Nebraska City, was knocked
from the track by the Missouri Pa
cifc engine. near Talmage, while she
was playing on the track not far from
home. The engine was going at q
good rate Of speed and on suddenly
rounding a curve the engineer saw a
little way In advance a large dog stand
Ing on the track. He blew the whistle
to scare the dog. which remained on
the track until the engine was very
near. when he suddenly jumped from
the center OF the track. disclosing the
little girl. whose presence had been
concealed by the dog standing between
her n the approaching engine. The
engineer reversed his engine and threw
on the emergency air, but 1t was too
late and the child was struck by the
cow-catcher and tossed into the weeds
near the track. She was found to be
uninjured except for q slight bruise on
the neck and face and was taken to her

UNCLE SAM WILL PAY

Has No Intention of Taking vthe rrlar,'
Lands without Compensation
II is said at the wal department tina,
the department is not a party to any
controversy respecting the method ot
paying for the friars' lands in the
Philippines and the issue presented as
TO the place Of payment, whether in
Manila or In Europe. lies between the
authorities Of the vatican and the
friars' orders. the latter being the
titular owners Of the land. OF course
the officials would like to see the
money remain In the islands, but 1t Is
prepared to accept a decision either
way On THAT point.
It is supposed to be the purpose OF
the vatican authorities, in stipulatlng
for the payment of the money in Ma
Mia to endeavor to make sure that IN
that way 1t was returned to the Catho-
lie congregations who originally pro-
vided the means for acquiring the land.
The friars, on the other hand, having
practically finished their work In the
islands. are supposed to be naturally
DESTROYS Of carrying the money realized
from the land sales into their new field
of activities. So the war department
has arranged to have this particular
sum OF W million dollars involved in
the transaction with tho Auyustinians
placed to the credit of the treasurer
of the Philippine islands in the Bank
Of England and he will issue his war
rant for the amount. which will be
good in either London or Manila.
