HARD FIGHT IN DETROIT.
Fraternal Society Men Claim Insurance
ls Not Conducted Honestly.

Detroit, Mich, August eliminating
that the society Is guilty of breach Of
confidence in obtaining money under false
pretenses and. Is pursuing dishonest
policy. delegates to the convention of tho
Associated Fraternites of America fought
through an intense discussion on the mat
ter of insurance rates in this afternoons
session.
Judge Pfost of KanSas furnished the
sensation of the meeting. declaring:
There Is not a society In the United
States that carries out its insurance con-
tract In full"
The substance of his short speech was
that while societies are constantly IN
creasing their liabilities they are not in
creasing their assets. Other speeches con-
demned the insurance procedure of their
respective societies as dishonest. dlshonor-
able and disgraceful.
The convention was split into two fac
tions led by ex-President George F. Nc
presentation OF minimum rate bill 10
the legislatures and Thomas b. Hanly
of Upton, Ia, who opposed such con-
nection. The general spirit of the con-
yention was that the amalgamatiCln move
ment between ting, Associated Fraterrities
and the National Fraternal congress
which was decided on at morning ses-
sion, never would be contaminated.

TEXAS MAN SENDS HOT
LETTER TO ROOSEVELT
Uses Severe Language In Protest
Against Action Taken BY Officials
In Fort Browne Matter.

Fort Worth, Texas, August 22.-TIon
Clarence Ousley, editor of the Fort Worth
Record, and one of the most thorough
students of the race question In the south.
has written an open letter to President
Roosevelt on the proposed amendment of
Fort Brown, because the white people
refused to receive negro troops on terms
of social equality in which he reviews the
incident and concludes:
'While not so designed its effects liz
to put hellish lust in the minds of the
millions of negro brutes who are no more
comparable to the intelligent negro you
have met, than tn best of the race today
is comparable to the savages of Africa.
These ngroes of whom l speak, and
whom you do not know, constitute the
vast majority of the nine million living
in our backrcrds, and they are absolutely
incapable ~ reason. Social equality to
their minds means the unspeokable crime.
For every aspiring and decent negro who
sees the door of hope which you yainly
imagine you're holding open to the race.
ten thousand negroes see only the en-
brace Of white virgin. Cut off our ra-
ton; drive our men out of the house of
their fathers as an atopement for slavery,
but don't make our wives and daughters
the victims Of a false philosophy and a
partisan regime.
you have proved your greatness in
many achievements and I like to think
you are honest. But you are not infallible
and you cannot perform miracles"

Revolution Is Formidable.

New Orleans. August 22.-The Plcayune
special cable from Havana says:
In spite of government denial the revo-
lutionary movement in Cuba has assumed
formidable proportions. The whole island
Is in ferment over the uprising, and
II is possible to predict at this time what
the final result will be- The government
claims that 1t will be able to suppress
the revolt within two or three weeks, but
conservative people who have been closely
watching the drift OF events do not believe
that the revolution can be crushed so
easily. The revolutionists have been pre-
pairing for the struggle ever since the
presidential election, and the Palma adj
minIstration has underestimate their
strength.
1t is known that several cargoes of arms
and ammunition have been landed In Cuba
from the Florida coast during the past
two months, and the insurgents are
abundantly supplied with war material.
1t Is believed by many Havana business
men that 1t will be necessary for the Uni
ted States to intervene and annex the
island before the revolution will be
crushed.
Annexation is oneply favored by the
commercial interests in all of the large
cities and towns in Cuba. The revolution
airy leaders even prefer annexation to
the United States to n continuation of
present conditions.
The American residents on the Isle OF
Pines have taken sides with the revolu-
tionists against the Palma government,
and they are giving the insurgents all the
aid possible The Isle Of Pines will be an
important base of operations for the rev.
olutionists.
