Special to The Herald.

LYNN, Mass, March 9.-Immediately
after eating several doughnuts from
the basket of a travelling caterer, Harry
Oaks, so years of age, a shoeworker
employed in local factory, dropped
dead this afternoon, acute indigestion
being assigned as the cause by Med
ical Examiner Pinkham.
The death was so sudden that most
OF the workmen thought for moment
that Oaks was joking, he having but
g. minute previously been making re-
marks that caused his fellow-work-
men to laugh. An investigation re-
vealed, though, that he had died al
most instantly.
Oaks is survived by a widow and
nine children.

Burrows After PoIygamists

Mr.. Burrows advocated the elimina-
tion of Arizona and New Mexico from
the bill and presented an amendment
to that end. He based his opposition
on the ground that there were many
polygamists in the two territories, and
spoke of polygamy as an "offense
against the civilization of the age"
He said the real offense was not in
plural marriages, but in polygamous
cohabitation practiced after marriage
elsewhere. He quoted from letters to
show that there were many Mormons
living in polygamy in Arizona and New
Mexico, and said that Notwithstanding
the difficulty of getting testimony,
there had been convictions for
polygamy.
In this connection he read a letter
from the attorney general of the
United States stating recently there
had been thirty-one convictions under
tn Edmonds act, majority of which
were for unlawful cohabitation. The
senator therefore said that he would
oppose the admission of these terri
tories until they should purge them
selves of this lawless element. He
also quoted from testimony in the
Smoot case to show that polygamy eX-
listed in the territories.
Mr.. Dubois amendment relative to
polygamy in the proposed state of
Arizona was then offered. He asked
for the ayes and noes, but a formal
vote was prevented by the committee
accepting the provision. 1t was there
fore incorporated in the bill.
Motion Finally Wins
The next formal vote was taken on
Mr.. Burrows motion to strike out all
that part of the bill relating to Ari-
zona and New Mexico. The roll call
resulted in the loss of the motion by
the narrow margin of one vote, thirty
five yeas to thirty-siX nays. Mr.. Bur-
rows gave notice that he would renew
the amendment when the bill was re-
ported to the senate.
The proceedings up to this time had
been in committee of the whole. When
the bill was reported to the senate Mr..
Burrows renewed his motion to strike
out that part of the bill relating to
Arizona and Jew Mexico and this
time it prevailed by the vote of thirty
seven to thirty-five, as follows:

Why Negroes Leave the Farms.

| To the Editor of The star:
In an article published in The Star of
January Is on the Scarcity of Farm
| Labor" the writer seems to lay-great stress
on the effects of high wages and attrac-
| tons of the city as the main causes for this
decrease In farm hands.
1t seems to me, however. that a careful
examination into the question would readily
| reveal the fact that the above named causes
are not the real causes after all.
That the people are f1ocking TO the cities
In great numbers is a fact which cannot be
denied and especially is this true of the col
| ored man, TO whom the country has looked
to furnish the farm labor for three nun
dred years; and my Twenty-Five years ex-
perience on the farms OF Alabama ana MIS-
sissippi leads me to believe that II the negro
were protected in his life and liberty on
The farms, and, instead of practically
eradieating the already Inadequate public
school system, as Gov. Vardaman would
have you do make more attractive the edu-
cational facilities, ne would furnish the
necessary farm labor throughout all time
10 come.
Then can It be truthfuIly said that he goes
to the city because of the alluring wages of
So per month or to listen to the charming
music Of the police patrol? Or does he
come seeking protection ana a place 10 euu-
cate his children?-
Let the white cap mobs of Mississippi and
the champions of the peonage systems of
Georgia and other southern states answer
for ere long this sudden rush on the city
will raise a question more vital to the
American people than that OF farm labor.
The south may send to England or any,
where else to import laborers, but the sweat
and blood of our fathers and mothers have
dedicated the soil of that old commonwealth
to the black boys forever and those same
mobs which are now driving them away
will some day be glad TO welcome them
back again.
The wisest thing to do is to give him JUS
tfce before the law; unlock the prison doors,
where thousands of his numbers are serv-
ing life sentences for alleged assault and
petit larceny; give him the advantages Of
this great American civilization, and he
will secure the farms with his labor as he
has secured the flag with his blood.
