Greenwood, Sept. 3o.-The citgaH-
cials have in the last few daysS9n
getting in behind the vagrants senae-
what. Labor conditions in town are
pretty bad and out in the couptry they
are reported as almost intolerable.
Six negroes were up before the mayor
yesterday morning. Three were COIL
victed and given sentences which they
will work out on the city chaingang.
The other three were excused. From
the country reports come in that it is
almost impossible to get any hands
for picking cotton at all. Farmers
living near town have been sending in
wagons early in the morning and car
rying out a load of children and half
grown girls to their cotton fields and
bringing them back at night. This is
a poor sort of way to get cotton
picked when the fields are perfectly
white, but it is the best they can do.
Further away from town the farmers
cannot resort to this method of secur-
ing help and their cotton has to re-
main in the field until it can be reach
ed by the short help they have.-The
State.

ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR THE CUBANs.
Such is Announced Intention of the
President.


Washington, Oct a. President
Roosevelt discussed very freely today
with his cabinet and with individual
callers, among g whom were Senators
Knox and Foraker, the present situa-
ton in Cuba and it's temporary occu-
patton by the American forces. The
matter was talked over at the cabinet
meeting, but no definite announce
ment of the result of the deliberations
was given out. The president reiter-
ated to the cabinet and to the other
callers with whom he talked that the
action taken by the American govern
ment was destined solely for the
benefit of the people of the island,
with view to the complete restora-
ton of order and the protection of all
interests. He declared that he had
no such motive as the possible annexa-
ton of the island by the United States.
What he wanted now was that the
Cubans should be given another chance
at self government.
Unless extraordinary conditions
arise no extra session of congress will
be called to deal with the Cuban situa-
ton, as the president considers he has
ample authority to proceed in the
matter. 1t seems to be well settled
that former Governor Charles E. Ma
goon of the Panama canal zone, who
has just returned from Panama, will
be appointed governor of the provis-
ional government of Cuba in success
sion to Secretary Taft. Governor
Magoon is anxious to go to Cuba and
his selection for the place is expected
to be announced soon. The president
expects Mr.. Taft to return to Wash
iagton in fortnight or less.

giving the money, but that he would
not do so in violation of the law. The
mayor said that he felt certain council
would order an election.
An Election Satisfactory.

that although the Centennial Associ
alton regretted having to wait so long
in order to get financial support from
the city, that they would be satisfied
to put it to a vote of the people feeling
cerain that the decision will be a
favorable one. In case 1t is not the
entennial celebration will be made a
purely local affair and cannot be car

attract general attention.
If the election is held it will proba
bly, come off in the latter part of July
Council will not take action until the
meeting in two weeks and then it will

ALL ARE CHARGED.

Washington, June 5.-Mr. LaFol-
lette wants a government inquiry in
to the business of the grain and eleva-

He offered resolution in the Sen
ate today directing among other
things, that the president request
the interstate commerce commission
to make a thorough investigation of
the elevator and grain buying and
business of this country to
determine to what extent these spe-
cial favors have been granted; the
influence which the monopolizing of
this branch of business has had upon
the market; the injury it has worked
to the grain producers; the extent to
which the railroads, their officers, di-
rectors, stockholders and employees
own or control the grain buying and
grain forwarding companies; and the
manner in which these railroads,
their officers, directors, stockholders
and employees secured their holdings
in these grain buying, storing and for.
warding companies and to report the
same to congress at it's next session v
An appropriation of twenty thous.
and dollars to cover the extra expense
is provided.
Upon Mr.. LaFollette's request ac.
ton was postponed to permit him to
address the senate later.

SUIT FOR HER SUPPORT
WILL RATTRAY DEFENDANT
Mrs. Rattray Claims Her Husband Is
Living a Life of Dissipation and
Fails to Support Her-caroIine Rat
tray Estate Involved.

Will Rattray, a we'll known former
Richmond man, was yesterday made
the principal defendant in suit filed
by his wife, living in Chicago, through
Attorney John l.. Rupe, for support.
Mrs. Rattray brought her action
against her husband, who she claims
deserted her, and against Harry C.
Downing. as administrator of the es.
tate of the late Caroline Rattray.
In the complaint Mrs. Rattray says
that about year ago, her husband,
who had considerable money, sold out
his business and drew all his money
out of the bank. He then commenc-
ed to live life of dissipation, she
says, and spent all his money and
mortgaged their home and furniture,
She says that she wants to have an
allowance and be able to live without
having to earn all the money for her
self and her two children.
The action against Harry c. Down
ing is to get a share of the estate OF
the late Mrs. Caroline Rattray, who
bequeathed her money to Will Rat
tray. The case will be tried in the
Wayne Circuit Court, as the suit was
filed here.

Rev. Jay, Who Is Raising

HIS WORDS SIGNIFICANT
HIS WORDS SIGNIFICANT
COLLEGE IS TO RAISE $50, 1000 AND
IN RETURN GET $4,000 FROM
ANDREW CARNEGIE - AN.
NOUNCEMENT SOON,

The belief seems pretty firmly root
ed in the minds of numerous persons
with Earlham College, that before
commencement week is over, Presi-
dent Kelly will be able to formally an
nounce that the Carnegie library en-
dowment fund has been raised. The
gife of a 100000 library building to
Earlham College by Andrew Carnegie
was made on the condition that the
college authorities raise an endow.
ment fund of an amount equal to that
licitation of funds to meet the re-
quirements has been underway and
for time it progressed with such
apparent indifference that there were
grave apprehensions that failure
might result. The Rev. Allen Jay and
Prof. Harlow Lindley have been de-
voting much of their time to the work
of looking after the endowment fund
and it is asserted that they have eth.
er reached or are within sight OF
the coveted goal.
The Rev. Mr.. Jay was asked yester.
day by the Palladium whether or not
the endowment fund of $4,000 had
been raised. There was merry twin.
kle in the minister's eye as he evaded
a direct reply but said knowingly:
We'll, we have pretty good reason to
feel happy. Wait until next week and
see."
AS a further indication that success
has crowned the efforts of the Earl
ham authorities the Rev. Mr.. Jay
said: Il shall not be here myself to
rejoice with Earlham next week, for
gin the work of raising 100000 for
Whittier College,"

Mrs. Gertrude BresIau Hunt
Spoke at the Odd Fellows
Hall Last Night.
MADE GOOD IMPRESSION
SHE COMMENDED THAT CAPITAL
AND LABOR MUST UNITE FOR
THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT-LEc-
, TURES AGAIN TONIGHT.

The Socialists of this city were ad.
dressed by Mrs. Gertrude Breslau
Hunt, one of the leaders of the party
last evening at the l. o. o. F. hall and
were much enthused by her talk.
Mrs. Hunt has done much for the
Socialists and in her lectures or cam
paign speeches, she is making clear
the doctrines of Socialism and telling
why they are the ones to be followed
Over one hundred persons gathered
to hear Mrs. Hunt give her first ad
dress in this city. Her subject was
Poverty, Crime and War-Cause and
Cure" She dealt with them ane1
the manner of one who is firm in his
convictions and who is ANXIOUS to Sc,
everyone right. Her voice was
strong and firm and her decisive man
ner of making statements and her ges
lures all helped to create the impres
sion that the social conditions are
bad in this country
Has Done Newspaper Work.
Mrs. Hunt has been in newspaper
work and has seen the inside work
ings of great labor troubles anG
strikes. She has been among mer
and women who are unable to fine
work. In her address, She blamed
capital for the condition of affairs
which keeps an army of unemployed
in the field at all times. Her mair
point was that until capital and labor
unite for mutual benefit, but more fol
the benefit of the laboring mar, there
will always be poverty, crime ant
war, becaus it is the unemployed tha
are poverty stricken and it is the pov
erty stricken that commit the crime.
which all lead to war, between per
sons, clans and between capital ant
labor.
Mrs. Hunt will speak tonight ant
tomorrow night at the same hall, al
