Runaway Was Exeiting.-A runaway
occurred yesterday from the island end
of the government bridge through the
guardhouse gates at that end of the ar
Senal reservation and the full length of
the main avenue to the guardhouse at
the end of the Moline bridge without
accident to the occupants of the rig,
but with probably fatal results TO the
horses. 1t was a two-seated surrey
drawn by a team and occupied byl
three women and a man, none of whose
names could be obtained. The man
was from Davenport, and spoke with
a strong German accent, which par
TALLY accounts for the fact that the
arsenal guard could not catch his name
over the telephone The team became
frightened at an automobile at the
south end of the government bridge
and ran along Main avenue and
through the gates into the arsenal be-
fore the guards were able to stop them.
Up the main avenue they tore, COM
pletely out of control of the driver, and
with the rig swaying behind them. AS
they reached the point where the first
arsenal buildings are situated, the pole
dropped and after a moment or two of
real danger the team broke from the
harness and dashed on up the road,
leaving the occupants of the rig un-
scathed and still seated. One of the
horses was stopped a little beyond the
fiagstaff and was not very badly cut.
The other one, however, was not caught
until it reached the Moline bridge,
where an automobile in the middle of
the driveway caused it to pause a mo-
ment. 1t was terribly cut and bruised,
and in all probability windbroken from
its long run. The injuries were not so
severe but that it could be walked back
to Davenport, but those who saw it say
that there can be little hope for the
horses ultimate recovery.

NEGRO PLANS MISCARRY
Property Oaoners PreUent Move to
Inhabt Big Apartment.

The owners Of property I'm the blocks bounded
by 15Oth and 1920 streets Broadway and Am
sterdam avenue, have decided that no Negroes
shall live in their section as tenants Of Of
the fathouses This decision will alter the plans
of the Afro-American Realty Company. os
which Philip A. PaytOn. jr.. one Of the leading
Negro real estate men Of this city. is president
and director. The realty company recently
leased for term of years No. 525 West 151st
street, a new six story fathouse. TO turn out
the white tenants and rent the apartments to
Negro families.
In the lease entered into by the Louis Meyer
Realty Company and the Afro-American Realty
Company and affecting the property there is
cancellation clause which says that in case the
property is sold the new owner may cancel the
lease on payment Of a certain sum Of money
to the lessee That lease will be quickly can
celled. as the organization OF property owners
of the district has bought the hathOuse In
order TO do so. L. II. slawson, the real estate
broker, George r. Cannon and Jacob Scheer,
as a committee of the organization, made the
purchase.
To-day or Tomorrow the tenants OF the house
will receive notices from the property owners
organization that they wifi not have 70 vacate
their apartments.
1t is expected that other similar organizations
Of property owners Of choice West Side resi-
Dental property will be formed TO conserve
their interests These organizations not
likely to cause race riots, as their formation
will not be due to dislike or. hatred for Negro
persons, but TO a conviction among white own
ers that in any section of the city especially at
tractive white people the leasing of flats in
the section TO Negroes will not tend 70 en-
hance but weaken values Philip "A. Payton,
ir. who is directly responsible for the per-
lection of the first property owners organiza-
ton to keep Negroes out as tenants OF
given section of the city. thinks that this con-
viction will be changed in the near future so
that Negro tenants will be. welcome every
where.

WON'T GUST WOODBURY..
Acting Mayor McGo7oan Sees No
Reason for fiction.

Acting Mayor MCGOWAN said yesterday that
he did not purpose 10 remove Street Cleaning
Commissioner Woodbury. no matter what agi-
tation was made for such action. He strongly
defended the Commissioner saying:
don't care If l am only the Acting Mayor,
Tor III saw that any man in the city govern
ilent, any Commissioner whatever any head of
department was not doing his duty. or had
Done or was doing anything detrimental 10 the
interests or the government the people,
wouldn't hesitate a second to ask for his resis-
nation under any circumstances
Perhaps ought not TO have made any prom
use not TO make any removals or appointments
II may be that il would have been better to
nave refratned from promising Mayor McClel-
Ian anything like that But such a situation
city. l think, though Mayors have been away
through summers. their vacations were not
taken all at once. and no such circumstances
as surround the present incident came up under
any other Acting Mayor So this is precedent
| see no justification for removing Major
and there are three reports Why, there was not
even majority of the Board of Aldermen In
the case. And the report was not read to them
and doubt If half the members OF the board
read that report. There il is (picking up a vol
luminous pamphleD; why. look at the size Of it,
wonder If more than two OF the members of
the Board OF Aldermen know all that Is in that
lengthy document. Why, I haven't read all that
report myself But L can't find any evidence
against Major Woodbury. demanding any such
stringent measures a demand for his resig-
nation or removal Of the Commissioner. Mayor
Mcclellan may and will act on his case; I won't
I certainly would if saw any act of the Com
Then I'd ask the resignation of any man in the
city's employ.

several of the states there are rival committees,
each trying to outdo the other in sending delega-
tions 20 greet Bryan This is true in Missouri and
in Maryland. It is probable that the reception
committee will have TO limit the size of the dele
cation that will be officially received from each
state.
Mr.. Bryan. who has just returned from Europe,
told at the Victoria Hotel yesterday OF some con-
versations he had with Mr.. Bryan recently. He
also had letter, received yesterday, from Mr..
Bryan, in which the latter writes:
IT am not mixed up in local politics. and there
should be no friction between old friends ana new.
Our party needs all the support 1t get, pro-
vided. of course, 1t does not compromise with
