Novelist and Playwright Almost
Mobbed in South Carolina
Over 1.-The Clansman.
journal Special Service,

SpOCAoA
Columbia, S. c., Oct. 16.-Thomas
Dixon, novelist and playwright, escaped
mob violence here yesterday after the
performance of his new play, "The
Clansman,' dealing with negro rule in
South Carolina during the RECONSTRUCT
ton period, only by locking himself in
his room in his hotel.
The play had been heartily Kissed
by the large audience which gathered,
and later, when a number Of young
men prominent in the social and bust
nesss life of the city, gathered in front
of the hotel with hostile intent and
sent up note asking the playwright
to come down, he suspected their pur-
pose and refused.
Baked in their purpose of doing him
bodily injury, the young fellows drew
up q set Of resolutions setting forth ir
unmistakable terms their opinion of the
author and his play and had them SEN
up to his room.
Rev. Richard Carroll, the most prom
inent negro in South Carolina, who wit
messed the performance, declares tina
it is one of the most horrible thing
that has ever visited the south and will
do more toward injuring the prosperit.
of the south than anyone could do. H
told Mr.. Dixon after the performanc
that he was making "blood money! Of
the negro.

STRIKES :
FOR COAL MINE MULES

<Terre Haute, Oct. 1e.-The mine mule
has come to the front as a dominant
labor factor in the Indiana coalfeld.
Just now the men at the Woolford mine
are on strike because the driver was
discharged for refusing to pay a fine
for beating the mine mule. The lar
gest labor disturbance of the year was
at Linton, where 700 men struck be-
cause Of controversy over what con-
stituted cruelty to "0ld Ben' mule
how mine should be operated. Only
short time ago 200 men struck in q
mine near here because they alleged
the mules did not get enough to eat
Another strike was due to the fact that
the drivers refused to give the mules
daily bath with hose, saying the
mules needed no more baths than they
did.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The long

half of the tremendous trade and other
interests Of the United States abroad,

which will permit the creation of a
permanent corps composed of alert, in
teligent Americans, who will be paid

Reformed the Army.
Secretary Root is responsible for the
reorganization of the army, which he
accomplished when he was at the head
of the war department.. He found q
vicious system existing and he correct
ed it, In order that the country might
be provided with efficient means of
military defense.
He has come into the state depart
ment and has confirmed the view, gen,
orally held. that the consular service is
inefficient, unwieldy and incapable ade
quately of protecting the foreign inter
ests of the United States, and expand
ing the trade of this country. He re
ceived the designations of consular off
GERS who were appointed thru politica
pull to posts with which they were no
satisfied. These men summarily threw
up commissions rather than remain a

Consuls Not Americans
A glance at the consular list ha
shown him that there are several hun
dred vice consuls and commercial agent
who are not American citizens. and VIII
consequently have no specia1 interest i
protecting Americans in their respec
tive districts, who may suffer indign
ties from local authorities, and VIII
have no keen desires to advance Amer
can trade.
In the same districts there are col
sular officers of other powerful CONNIE
cial nations who not only require flu
recognition of the rights Of tie either
of their respective countries, but WI
are searching in every, conceivable wa
to promote the commerce Of their n
tive lands.
Some Jealous Consu1s.
Among these consuls there are of
GERS who are intelligent, active ar
painstaking, and who have labored wit
zeal. in behalf Of America. But tt
number of these men is comparative
small and they depend in many
stances upon political influence for a
vancement rather than upon the reco
of good work which they may make.
That MI. Root is acting in entire
cord with the president s wishes
shown by reference to the last ami
message of Mr.. Roosevelt, wherein
declared that the consular service ne,
ed Improvement and recommended tt
salaries should be substituted for fl

SHUBERT SURELY
COMING IN HERE
This Definite Announcement Is
Made by the Independent
Theatrical Manager.
Plan Means New Theater or Con.
troll of Some Established
House.

Lee Shubert, the Independent theat-
r1cal circuit hacker, announces that he
has agreed to take stock in theater
in Minneapolis. This means that either
the Independent circuit will build a new
theater in Minneapolis and also in st.
already established house.
The Shuberts of New York, have en-
tered into combination with Con-
gresham Joseph L.. Rhinock of Gov
Wealthy theatrical manager u Of cincin.
natl, to build eighteen theaters in the
west and in Canada. Minneapolis is to
profit by this agreement in that it will
secure to the city regular annual book
ings Of all the attractions Of the new
syndicate that leave New York city.
The deal means that the budding anti
syndicate managers will be able by the
opening of next season to place attrac-
| tions in eighteen cities from which they
are now barred by the theatrical syndi-
cate and that, with a broadening cir
cult, they will be able to promise
known managers to book thru them. It
is by all odds the greatest stride the
new combination has taken and is. ex'
pected to make it formidable rival to
the syndicate.
It is understood that George B. Cox,
the republican boss Of Cincinnati, a
man Of great wealth, is backing the
combination and is in sole partnership
with Hr. Anderson and Congressman
Rhinock. He owns the Walnut Street
theater in Cincinnati, managed by Mr.
Anderson. and is interested in othe,
