Brookland Ripples.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Moveme ent is now being made by
the trustees in order to bring about
some concert action to improve and
enlarge the school. For the past
four years two schools have been in
operation here, one controlled by the
trustees for the county, the other
conducted in the interest of the Co.
lnmbia Mills Company's operators.
e is generally thought that the two
schools will consolidate this session,
provided ample room can be had to
accommodate the pupils. The
question which low confronts the
arusteea is q suitable building
sufficiently large to meet this demand.
During the last few years the build
ing used by the trustees for school
purposes has been rented from
joint stock company which owns the
building, the erection of which was
done through the indomitable activity
of Capt. NJ. Fl Witt, A. D. Shull, G.
A. Guignard and others. It is very
evident that these roen were prompt
ed that time to supply needed
want and were not actuated In their
efforts for personal gain, for well can
it be said, that in their management
of this property only q reasonable
rent has been charged, barely sufic-
sent to keep the building in good
repair. So, as it is, the owners haV
ing never realized any declared
dividends from their investment,
naturally, they feel loathe to remedy
the conditions, and the trustees LIT
being the owners of the property Tor
school purposes are not disposed to
improve and enlarge property which
they have no control over.
It seems to the writer that with
such philanthropic and PUBLIC spirit
ed men as the stockholders OF this
enterprise are composed of that they
would either sell to the trustees and
their successors this property at
nominal figure, or better still, per-
petuate their names as benefactors
to the cause of education by donating
their interest to community so
needful of any generosity tending
to promote the ;neerest of education
in this age of progressiveness. We
are being recognized as town second
in size and population to none in this
county. and we should awake from
our lethargy and prove ourselves
truly great by having a school build
ing sufficiently large and we'll equip
ed to meet the requirements Of a
community go progressive.
The municipal election will come
off Saturday, May 2Ssh. Several
candidates have announced them
selves for intendaDt and wardens,
and it is to be hoped from the ma
terial in the race that the voters will
exercise good judgment in their
election of officers for the next year.

Idaho, although instructed for Mr., Hearst, was one
Of the first states to change hervote for Judge
and did SO without violating in any particular the in
sructon OF the Weiser conventions which only exacted
the support of the delegates to Mr. Hearst long
in the opinion Of the delegates, Mr. Hearst chance

Idaho delegates for Mr. Hearst first ballot
for in the test vote Thursday it have APP
parent to delegate in the convention that the New

GREAT waves on THE PACIFIC.
Lower California Coast Eeing swept by
an Ocean Disturbance.

SAN Francisco, Sept. All the coast
towns Of San Diego, Los Angeles and Santa
Barbara counties are threatened by great
waves rolling in from the Pacific, although
there is no wind. These waves began
Inst night and have been increasing in
force and height, rolling in at regular in
tervals like great tidal waves.
some waves are said to be as high as forty
feet, hut this is probably exaggeration.
They threaten the long wharf at Hueneme.
At Terminal Island the sea has wrought
considerable havoc. and hundreds of men
are at work piling up sacks of sand to form
a breakwater. There is grave fear OF seri-
GUS damage to the work Of constructing the
outer deep water harbor at San Pedro. I'm
mense waves are sweeping over the break
water. and shipmasters lying outside are
uneasy lest their vessels drag anchor and
be cast upon the rocks.
Several cottages are inundated at Long
Beach, and at Ocean Park the pleasure
wharf has been damaged considerably,
and no one is permitted to go on it.
The authorities regard the present dis
turbance OF the ocean as due to submarine
volcanic activity, as tho whole coast Is
volcanic. Weather Forecaster MoAdie says
that it Is due to a great storm between here
and Honolulu which has piled up monstrous
waves. No volcanic upheaval, in his
opinion, could have caused the regular re-
currence OF these waves.

depressed through Mount Vernon.
A gang Of Italians were at work In the

down the tracks, taking switches and sig
nal wires like q high bred hunter, they
dropped their picks and shovels and soram-
bled up the embankment. The horse con-
tinued his fight until he reached the Tenth
avenue bridge. Here the wheels Of the

him fast.
Patrolman Moore. VINO had followed

and drove him to the Mount Vernon sta-
ton. The surrey was dragged to one side,
and traffic was resumed.

the West Virginia State fair this afternoon.

West Virginia whom he had not seen in
fifty years There was continual
procession Of mountaineers to Mr.. Davis's
room this morning The latchstring hung
out loosely.

Virginians in the grand stand and said

their treasure had gone to support an army
in foreign land. He said the agriculture
OF a country was far above its manufactures
in importance and that no country ever
declined until it neglected agriculture

s., OOO, 900 to aid and encourage agriculture
yet it could spend $50 900 900 to support an
army in the Philippines. In conclusion

in his young days and had undergone all
the arduous work that farmer lad should
do, and with the help of God, he expected
to continue to be farmer for many years
to come.

at a reception rendered by the Democratic
leaders of West Virginia. They were here
in scores, and Mr.. Davis greeted every one
with a hearty handshake and benevolent

NEGRO RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA.
Mob Attacks COlorcd Men Unfortunately
Police Rescue Them.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 7.-Endeavoring to
escape an angry mob, James Parker, negro,
aged "a wears, of 935 Percy street. raced
through the streets near Ontario Park to-
night, beating with blackjack every one
who blocked his path.
When the negro was finally cornered in
cigar store at Eleventh and Poplar streets
1t was all that the police could do to restrain
the mob from lynching the man. The com
bined efforts OF four policemen finally landed
Parker in the station house.
Then began reign of terror for all the
negroes in that part Of the city. Until far
into the night thousands Of men paraded
the streets, seeking negroes and crying
vengeance. Several times the police OF the
Tenth and Thompson streets stations wrested
negroes from the wild crowd that had ropes
for lynching, and locked them up to protect
them. There were eight negroes in the sta
ton house after midnight.
Parker's rampage started at Ontario
Park at Thirteenth and Thompson streets.
He was heard quarrelling with two boys.
Edward McDermott, aged 10 years, OF 1915
Lawrence street, and Joseph Powder
maker, aged IL, OF $40 Columbia avenue,
and is alleged to have been seen to raise his
arm suddenly and bring down blackjack
upon the head OF the younger boy.
Then, according to the police, the negro
sent the club crashing into the face OF the
other boy. The youngsters tried to hold
the negro and shrieked loudly for help.
More than 1000 persons were In the park
at the time listening to the music OF the
Municipal Band.

LYNCHED DESPITE SOLDIERS.
Mob Kills Negro in Huntsville, Aia.-soi'
oilers Disarmed.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Sept. 7,-Another COM
pany of Southern militia tonight showed
it's inefficiency by allowing a negro here
whom they were called out to protect, to
be lynched. The negro was Horace Naples
The jail was set afire by the mob and
Naples jumped through window into the
crowd He was chased down and taken
to the lawn of the county court house aud
hanged at 1926 P. NJ. The negro con-
fessed the crime and implicated three other
men.
Solicitor Pettus and Hon. John H. Wallace
attempted to make a diversion by making
speeches, but the crowd would not hear
them The negro was swung up in the
presence OF about 1000 persons, and the
body was riddled with bullets. The jail
was seriously damaged. All attempts to
bring more militia here failed, as no special
trains could be obtained.
Early in the evening the guard lines oil
the soldiers on the streets leading to the
Jail were broken and the sentinels disarmed
forcibly. One of them was shot through
the arm.
The mob gained possession OF the ground
floor OF the Jail. Sheriff Rodgers and
SQUAD of militiamen were on the floor above
and tar and feathers were burned below
them to smoke them out This set the jail
on fire.
Naples murdered f. U. Waldrop, an aged
white pedler, whose body was found last
night near Belle factory. The mans brains
were beaten out and his pockets rifled.
Hoping to quiet the mob, special Grand
Jury was empanelled this afternoon, and
a true bill charging Naples with murder
In the first degree was reported.
