NEGRO VIGILANTES
INCITE A FEUD
AMONG COLORED
u mite d Brotherhood
Deals Justice to Law
less of Their Race.

DALLAS. Tex. Dec. 2l.-There is a
marked division Of sentiment among the
colOred population OF this community
over the newly founded organization
OF leading colored men known as the
United Brotherhood. SO bitter has the
feeling become in some quarters that
the police have taken precautions to
cope with the feud which is brewing
among the blacks
The United Brotherhood. composed en-
tirely OF colored men, has voluntarily
taken on itself the task OF furnishing
negro rapists and lawless characters OF
their race It's work has been done
secretly, but so summary has been the
punishment inflicted. that the lawless
class Of negroes have protested TO the
authorities and demanded protection
against The Vigiiants OF their own race.
Who is directing the brotherhood is
not known. But il is certain that the
work is all being done by negroes. who.
in a pamphlet distributed on the streets,
explain that the easiest way To avoid
race riots in the South is for the bet
ter class of negroes to discOuntenance
lawlessness of Jheir fellows by dealing
out justice thus preventing lynchingS
by white meE and the attendant disOrd-
erS which accompany them

FAVORS CUT RATE
FOR CITY LETTERS
Madden'S Postofflce Report
Shows Total Years Rev
enue $15,OO0,OO0.

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Edwin {. Madden, in his report made
public yesterday. recommends that a
l-cent postage rate be applied on all let
ters mailed for city delivery. He further
recommends that the rate on letters
sent To other cities remain as 1t is now
cents. He also expresses himself as
being in favor OF using the same amount
of ordinary postage stamps on special
delivery letters where the prescribed
special delivery stamps are not avail
able.
The report embraces a statement
showing a reduction of 27-S3 per cent.
or over 100000 in the excess of dis
bursements over receipts in the depart
ment. The total postal revenue for the
fiscal year of 1906 Is shown to be SO. co.,
900 in excess OF the revenue for l905,
which is the greatest known in any ole
year in the history of the postal service,
Attention Is called 10 the wonderful
increase in postage stamp sales, due
10 general prosperity, this increase
amOunting-to over 10 per cent.
Mr.. Madden proposes to establish
uniform rate Of cents a pound for all
second class matter. removing all prds-
ent restrictions. and inaugurating an
''up-tO-date, workable law understood
by pOstmasJers, publishers, and the de-
partment.

Rapid Fire Questioning.

Bv this time il was $50 o clock, and in

ers down to such diTectness OF talk that
one delegate. a gentleman with extreme

or. got desperate.
II move" he said, THAT we all quit
talking and let the Secretary talk
You needn't move anything. I'll do

tary. pointing at the red-headed gentle
man-and that was the end OF such little

readiness almost equalling the pistol
shot queries.
Once the Secretary let a man talk
about three minutes. Then he got rest
less.
Wanted Facts, Nothing More.
For goodness sake. stick TO facts"
he implored, a look OF real pain on his
brow. "Give me facts. and let me
hear your conclusions. Let me have the
beneit OF real logic. I dislike to seem
unkind. but I have other work to do
There was no more verbal wandering
after that. The star performer had the
center Of the stage for keeps. He ques-
toned the Pittsburgers closely about the
advantages OF each of the twenty-five
sites, about the street cars that ran by
them, and many other details OF loca-
tion. distance and direction.
There is one class I want to con-

The Secretary paused TO Chuckle at
this reference to his forthcoming retire
ment from the Cabinet
After he had found out all he wanted
to know. MIR. Shaw bade the Pittsburg-
ers good day. said he had some more
work 10 do and left them totally with
out a clue as 10 what site he would
