REV. THORNTON
ADVISES NEGROES
Tells Them TO Beware Of Call
For Convention at
Dover

The Rev. Montrose w. Thornton,
pastor Of Bethel A. NJ. L. Church. has
issued the following letter to the color
ed people Of the State:
A call has been made by one. Prof.
Jason. for a convention to be held at
Dover on the 23rd of this month to
consider the criminality of our people.
In view Of the same l am besieged
with letters. messages and interviews
from clergymen. teachers and promin-
ent laymen from all parts of the State
for an expression as to the wisdom Of
this call as well as my opinion of the
same.
Unable to make personal response to
these many inquiries, and since the call
has been made through the public
press, 1 take this means of addressing
myself to thes ubject and my people
as a whole.
First-The affair to my mind is a
political one and is similar to others
that receive unnatural birth preceding
election.
In the end the poor negro win re-
ceive cheap advertisement, a blacken-
ed name and whether his crimes are
greater or less. those out of the politi-
cal rings will receive their same rail-
roading and stripes at the stock as be-
fore.
Secondly-The effort will be blank
shot in the air without results.
The instruments of law and crime
subjugation are I'm every respect in the
hands of the white race. If they have
failed or are unable to suppress crime
on the part of any race in any part Of
this State, it is time for them to make
their acknowledgment and then IL viii
be in order for the negroes to rise in
convention and take the reins of gov
ernment in their hands.
Thirdly-This convention at most can
be no more than an irresponsible rab-
BILE. What will 1t represent that is
authentic and stable. If the organized
churches, orders and schools. with
their accredited heads are unable TO
weld a constant correcting influence,
then what is to be expected of hand
full Of treacherous politicians with
their jabberings of a few hours? Not
worth the ride to Dover, to say the
least, this grave project of reform they
would profess. for their personal bene-
fit and that by the unnecessary slander
Of the race.
Fourthly-Already this farce is a
personal and one-sided affair
The negro will not be represented as
a whole, neither is it so desired. only
certain chruches and clans are being
sought after, and with their semblance.
few empty resolutions, the endorse
ment of certain candidates, the divid-
ing of the spoils, the only end desired,
the convention win pass out OF exist
ence and the negro viii be where he
was before.
/ have much more to say on the sub
ject, but will suffer for a while to see
il this penny wise and pound foolish"
farce win go the limit.
Personally, ] viii not attend this dis
graceful pretense.
I am sure none but politicians and a
certain church variety of damaging
resolutions fame win participate.
The negro impartially represented
and as a whole win be more con-
spicuous for his absence.
consider every self-respecting
negro that has anything to do with this
fizzle. a\Judas. tieing the tighter a mill
stone about the necks Of their peo-
pie.

NEW GRADING SYSTEM.
Grain INSPECTOR Radford Says New
One VIII Pc Established.

John Radford. the state grain
inspector. announced today that
he has decided upon a new system
Of grading for Kansas grain. and will
call a meeting of the Kansas grain
grading commission before long to put
the new standards into effect.
We had meeting in Chicago a few
days ago. said Mr.. Radford. at which
ali Of the grain grading and grain in
spection departments Of the western
states were represented. At that meet
ing it was decided that as soon as pos
sible all the states shall adopt the per
cent system for grading grain. That is,
we will decide that to be classed rs Il
certain grade, wheat must not contain
over a certain per cent of inferior grain.
This gives us an exact standard to work
upon Heretofore il has rested to
large extent upon the judgment Of the
inspector. Now the exact per cent be-
ing specified, it Is possible to test a
sample Of the grain, and see if 1t reach
es the specified grade"
Mr.. Radford was asked what progress
is being made in the preparation of the
new grain inspection law to replace the

suits OF Boni's Creditors Dismissed at
plaintiffs Cost.

Paris. Dec. 19.-Madame Gould. the
former Countess Boni de Castellane,
has been victorious in the suits
brought by creditors and money lend
ers against her with the object of
making her jointly responsible with
the count for the latter's debts Thir-
teen OF the fifteen cases were dis
missed today by the court with costs
against the plaintiffs
Only in the cases Of two art dealers
did the court express the opinion that
Madame Gould should be held re-
sponsible as the objects purchased in
these instances for the most part are
still in her possession.
There are still three cases to be
passed upon. In dismissing the 13
suits. the court held that the plaintiffs
had failed to prove that the debts were
contracted for the common benefit of
the count and countess. The latter
declared she had more than fulfilled
the obligations under her marriage
contract During her welded life, she
had retained nothing for herself. her
entire revenue being collected by her
husband and employed according to
his own admission, either for the
expenses or for the pay
ment of his personal debts.

KERNS TO LANSING.
Great Bend and Newton Bank Robbcr
Given Penitentiary Term.

Great Bend, Kan, Dec. 19.-Joseph S.
Kerns, the former Chicago dry goods
clerk and newspaper man, captured
here recently after holding up a local
bank in daylight was arrafgned today,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the
state penitentiary for a term of from
10 to p years.
Kerns had no attorney and the court
appealed to lawyers to defend him. The
attorneys asked that physicians who
were present in court for the purpose
examine the prisoner as to his sanity.
This was done and the physicians re-
ported that Kerns was perfectly sane.
When the charge Of bank robbery was
read, Kerns said:
II plead guilty. I know I have done
wrong. This trial has been a good les
son to me and have resolved to do
better"
The judge delivered a severe lecture
to the prisoner, who was very cool
throughout the proceedings.
Kerns also confessed to having rob-
bed a bank at Newton, Kan, last
month.

WAS A SOUND SLEEPER
The Children of Mrs. Caldwell Give
Favorable Testimony.

Salina, Kan Dec. 19.-The principal
feature in the Caldwell murder case today
was the Introduction of the testimony of
Mrs. Caldwells children, by the defense,
to the effect that the mother was ex-
traordinary sound sleeper.
These witnesses were Lena Charles,
Harry and Earl Caldwell and Mrs Miller
a married daughter. They all told on the
stand that their mother had always been
a profound sleeper. That frequently she
walked over the house at night and
around the yard without waking, always
returning to her bed unharned. Their
testimony Indicated that her husband
might have been murdered while she was
out of the room
They also agreed that she was of a kind
and gentle disposition and had never
made threats against Mr.. Caldwell. nor
had she ever been cross or i'll natured
with him.
Mrs. Caldwell will not go the witness
stand.
The testimony will close this evening.
The attorneys have been allowed six
hours OF a side for argument.
The case will probably go to the jury
on Friday morning.
