shippers in loading n unloading cars, $
says a member OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission speaking Of the car shortage
which the commission, presumably at the d.
rection OF President Roosevelt. has requested
the railroads to alleviate. Here is delightful
inconsistency. The roads are asked to rem
edy q car shortage which lis not primarily a
lack OF adequate car capacity" at all. The
great trouble is that there Is such congestion
at terminals that the inability to have cars
unlOaded promptly has reduced the service
which the roads actually get out of their cars
to an average or about twenty-five miles a day
In actual transportation. 1t is not the fault
OF the railroads that consiRnees fail to release
cars within a reasonable time. Those to
whom the freight Is consigned cannot in all
cases get labor to remove IL promptly nor do
they In all cases want to remove IL at once, as
the cars are pretty convenient storage houses
In these times OF high rents for all classes OF
buildings. The railroads are OF course dis
satisfied with a practice which deprives them
OF an adequate return on the millions OF dollars
which they have spent for new cars in the last
year, but in effect their customers have asked
them: What are you going to do about it?"
and this is apparently the only reply which
they themselves can now make to the COM
munication addressed to them by the Inter-
state Commission.

Aberdeen's superb musical organiza-

week from next Monday at Huron be-
gins a series Of concerts to include a
circuit of the principal towns of cen
trail and northeastern South Dakota,
including Appleton, Minnesota. Prof.
J. j. CaSon, the leader Of our band,
has drawn about him an aggregation
Of artists of more than ordinary talent
and by eighteen months of the most
painstaking. eXacting drill has per-
fected a musical organization which
is the equal of anything in the band
line in the northwest.
In response to many calls from other
towns in the state. Prof. Cason fin
ally concluded to arrange a brief series
of engagements in towns that are
conveniently accessible, which can all
be reached in the course OF two weeks.

TWENTY-ONE KILLED

Grafton, w. Va, March 2S.-TWen- ty-one miners are believed to have lost their lives in yesterdays mine eX plosion at Century, w. Va. Elevn bodies had been recovered at noon today, and ten men are still missing. Those not yet accounted for are thought to be dead in the mine. It is impossible to give the names of the dead, but they are known to be mostly foreigners, as very few Amer jeans were employed in the mine.
 The bodies recovered were torn and mangled and in many cases burn ed from head to foot, making the work of identification very hard. From the fierce force of the explosion as evidenced by the ruin wrought in the shaft, there is little hope that the missing ten men escaped with their lives
 The explosion is supposed to have been caused by an accumulation of natural gas in the "A" lead of tht second south main. None of the men in tht "A" lead escaped. Rescuers arc working htroically to reach the miss ing men, but the arge amount of gas still in the mine makes the work dan. gerous and retards it's progress. Tho mine was equipped with all modern improvements, having everythin~ which could be expected to contribute to the safety of the employees.
 Many of the dead leave large fami- lies. and the anguish and distress to be seen on all sides is pitiful in the extreme.

EPIDEMIC OF CRIMES
Breaks Out in the South-Race Con.
 ficts and Criminal Assaults.

New Orleans, La, March 2S.-An epidemic of criminal assaults, crime; of negroes, and race conflicts, has broken out in this portion of the south. St. Landry parish is at fever excitement over the murder of white deputy sheriff by a negro. and hun dreds of armed men are securing the woods for the murderer. The feeling in that section is so intense that it has assumed the proportions of a con- flict between the races. and already one negro has been killed. while scores of other blacks are fleeing from the wrath of the whites.
 Bossier parish has been greatly ex- cited the past twenty-four hours over a fight between negroes and whites, as result of which one man and two negro women were wounded. Re. ports from Bossier tonight state that the negroes for whom the whites are searching have fled, and the ex- citement is subsiding.
 A negro attempted to criminallv assault white woman near Biloxi Miss, and has been removed to Gulf port for safe keeping.
 At Leesville, La, an unknown ne. gro attempted to outrage a prominert young woman, and the whole popula tlon is up in arms. searching for the brute. Three negroes were arrested, but proved to be innocent. A lynch.

ng is certain if the guilty man is cap-

ing is certain if the guilty man is cap tured.
 This outbreak among the blacks is believed by many newspapers in this section to be due partly to the inter- ference of the United States supreme court in the case of Ed Johnson the negro who was condemned to death fer criminal assault at Chattanooga, Tenn, and was subsequently, lynched. Commenting on this phase of the case, the New Orleans Picayune editorial ly says:
 "The crowning evil and the over towering horror that will result from this situation are that hereafter, in cases of ravishment and outrages per retrated on white women by negroes. the very first consideration will be the immediate wreaking of popular ven- geance upon the miscreant as soon as captured, so as to avoid all possibil- ity of having the guilty wretch secured | and borne away to life and safety by the intervention of the laws that were made for punishment of crim- inals and the conservation of order and welfare of society. Another evil result, no less frightful, will be the establishing. in the minds of the ne- i groes. the belief that ali the powers of the federal government are being aroused and marshalled to stand for !. them against the white people of the r.,
