notnced by Editor in Chief Gabbert in
the form of an Oriental department.,

of that portion of the annual.
S. Y. l.. Jee, a sophomore whose rec

after careful consideration of the
score or more Of men from the Orient
who are now receiving instruction at
the State University. Jee has perfect

qualified to give the Blue and Gold a
creditable department dealing with
Oriental affairs.
Jee is expected to describe, in detail,
for the Blue and Gold the various
steps that have been taken by Oriental
countries to send their young men to
America for instruction, and how the
influx has increased until the Oriental
contingent now at the university is an
appreciable part of the student body
deserving of serious consideration in
the representative publication of the
colleges.
Jee believes that he has fund Of
picturesque material including pic
lures and other features with which
70 make his department in the Blue
and Gold as interesting as any between
the covers Of the big book, and already
has begun to delve for rare photo
graphs and other Chinese. Japanese
and Filipino insignia that will later be
reproduced for the students publica-
ton.
He will seek the aid of Professor
Fryer, head of the department of
Oriental languages, in preparing the
material for his department in the
Blue and Gold, the professor always
having manifested a deep interest in
the welfare of the Oriental contingent
at the university, and being now en-
gagged in founding special prepara-
tory school for them in the vicinity of
the university

here as the result of the assault by a
negro upon Mrs. John Griffith, white,
the wife of a machinist. and serious
trouble is still likely. Negroes of the
worst class have been ordered to leave
town before night.

the two races the Mayor to-day issued
a proclamation ordering that all cit
izens disarm, and at the same time
many special officers were sworn in.

rocent negro, as seemed likely, and
early to-day an attempt to disarm a
number of blacks resulted in dozen
revolvers being leveled at Chief of Po-

to the scene, but a body of whites stop
ped them with leveled rifles. The leader
among the negroes was choked into in
