ELECTRICITY MAY
REPLACE ENGINES

The New Haven authorities are consid-
ering the electrincation OF the road be-
tween here and Boston, according to
Vice President Edward G.. Buckland.
I'VE were compelled to introduce cleo
tricity between New York and Stamford" {"
he said, lowing to the congestion ina the
tunnel between Forty-second and one
Hundred and Twenty-hfth streets, and
also because of the provisions of the New
York state laws.
THAT is necessarily something OF an ex-
pertinent. but III it is successful. we Will
next begin the work OF electrlfying the
road between here and Boston and even
tually between Boston and New York.
I'VE see no reason why the electric
road as installed near New York should
not be successful; and, that being the
case, the probabilities arc strong that the
lines between Providence and Boston will
be run by electricity as soon as the tun-
mel is I'm operation"

RACE WAR APPEARS
To HAVE ENDED

Memphis, Tenn. Dec. 2T.-Advices from
Scooba and Wahalak, Miss, where race
rioting required the presence OF troops,
last night say that quiet prevails at both
towns, as we'll as throughout the sur
rounding territory and that the troops
and civil officers have control of the sit
uation.
According to the most trustworthy re-
ports the disturbances of the last few
days in kemper county were not as seri-
GUS as at first reported. The trobule IL
attributed to the actions OF reckless
mob, which. in searching for a negro who
attacked Cooper, the railroad conductor,
aboard Mobile and Ohio train. last Sun
day. and shot and killed O'Brien. the
Wahalak constable, killed three negroes
and wounded several others.
Feeling against the negroes was inten-
stfed by the killing by negroes of r. N.
Harrison. conductor of the Mobile and
Ohio railroad at Crawfords. on Monday
night. and. believing that the mob was
beyond control, Deputy Sheriff Alexander
at Scooba asked that troops be sent there
In order that innocent negroes might be
protected. Two companies OF state troops
are now encamped at Scooha.
GOVERNOR ON SCENE.
Jackson, Miss. Dec. 27.--Gov. Vardaman
and several members of his staff left for
Scooba, Miss, last evening. on a special
train. The governor was accompanied
by about rs members OF the Capital Light
Guards. Adjt.- Gen. Fridge preceded him
about three hours, going on the regular
train to Meridian, Miss, where he will
secure a special train, which will carry
the governor and militia direct to Scoo-
ba.
The governor says there have been no
fresh outbreaks at Scooba, but that 1t has
been impossible for him to get any def
mite news from there, and he has decided
to make a personal investigation and re-
lieve the soldiers on duty with fresh
troops.

congress OF the nations, with advisory
powers, a general arbitration treaty for
the acceptance of all nations, a plan for
the restriction OF armaments, and II pos
sible for their reduction by concurrent
international action"
John H. Washburn said that he ap-
proved OF the resolutions except for the
suggestion that armaments be reduced,
which he thought might be considered
an impertlnence from this country. lie
would like 10 see, he said. the same
suggestion come from some power which
would be more directly affected by such
change.
Thomas r. Main, who had introduced
the resolutions, replied that the suggestion
of disarmament could not be considered a

by Great Britain, France and Russia.
The resolutions we're finally adopted as

During the first part OF the session the

Northwest were slightly I'm excess of

SWANSEA DIVIDEND,
Faithful Producer Again Has Contrib
uted to Stockholders Pockets.

The Swansea Mining company comes
forward with its proverbial faithful
ness and promises its stockholders 4
dividend for the Christmas time. The
directors of the company met late
Wednesday afternoon and posted g.
cent dividend. payable on the goth of
the present month, the books 10 close
on the 18th. When the company has
distributed this amount Of profits to the
holders of Swansea stock, 1t will have
paid total of 1924 800 in the shape of
dividends, and every indication points
to the conclusion that this campaign of
proft-sharing will continue for many
years TO come.
II has been the custom of the COM
pany TO declare a scent dividend here
toforc and no doubt this amount would
have been posted at this time had 1T
not been that the management had to
close down the mine for one entire
month in order to make the necessary
repairs to the shaft and machinery. This
work was imperative, and four weeks
of idlepess naturally made large inroads
upon the production of the company.
Everything at this time. however, is in
ship-shape. and the company is about
to begin one more year of remunerative
activity.
All the ore that the Swansea company
is sending to the local market at pres
ent comes from the levels of the mine
above the 500, and the development of
new bodies of ore continues with en-
couraging regularity,
