A TEXAS TRICK.

A suggestive incident recently
transpired in Kirbyville, Texas, which
is full of meaning A member Of the
superior race" found it necessary to
his happiness to kill his wife, which
he attempted to do by shooting her.
Supposing her good and dead" he
rushed out and proclaimed that his
wife had been assaulted and killed by
a "burly negro" The syrnpathizing
fellow citizens at once decided to
have a lynching, provided that they
could catch the brute" who commit
ted the foul crime, or some member
of his race to answer in his stead.
But, while all the proper arrange
ments were in progress, the woman,
who had been insensible, recovered
her senses and declared that no Afro
American had assaulted her, but that
her husband had attempted to muir
der her. The mob then tried to
lynch the real brute, but the officers
managed to rescue him. It is en-
tirely reasonable to conclude that
just such schemes as the Texas brute
failed to carry out have been carried
out in many instances.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1907
AMERICA VS.. RUSSIA

That our white brethren are some
what worried by the comparative de-
gree of civilization in this country
and Russia is shown by the follow
ing from the Chicago Record Herald:
Recurring to the relative iniquity
of the Russian massacres and the
Atlanta lynchings, it may be pointed
out for the benefit of correspondent
that the Russian massacres are the
work of the Russian government.
while the Atlanta lynchings were
perpetrated by part of the popula-
ton OF single city in the United.
States It is quite true, as urged,
that the aniability or unamiability of
the Afro-American has nothing to do
with the case. The question is as to
the propriety of American citizens
putting the American nation on
level with the Russian nation because
OF the acts of a relatively few hood
lums in distant Southern city,
The above is probably about as
good plea in abatement as can be
rendered, but has the dement, of not
being an entirely, truthful statement
of the situation. The Russian gov
eminent is not directly responsible

AFRO-AMERICANS VS.. IN
DAMS.

Gov. Northen thinks that the Afro
American should crush out his social
and political aspirations on account
of the superiority of the white man,
and many others think in the same
way. But neither he nor they think
thus in regard to the Indian. Gov.
Vardaman, a part Indian, is chief ex-
ecutive of Mississippi, a Kaw Indian
represents Kansas in the United
States senate, and Oklahoma has sent
two more Indians to the same body
and nobodyt worries about what their
ancestors were doing cons ago. Pres
ident Diaz, Of Mexico, is also, partly,
of Indian descent, and is honored all
over the world as one of the wisest
of rulers. If it were true, as Gov
ernor Northen assumes, that the AZ
ro-Americans are frantic for social
equality with the whites, why is IL
any more of crime upon their part
than it is on the part of other col
ored races?

lums, as shown by the following ac-
count of the latest massacre:
Hooligans started the Jew bait
ing, and the pogrom continued for
three days and nights.
Horrible cruelties were practiced
upon Jews, it is stated, young Jewish
girls being made the special victims
Of the rowdies, who took such an ac-
tive part in the attacks.
Neither was the Atlanta massacre
an isolated incident, but one of a
kind with many others all over the
country, nor was it the work of few
hoodlums, but of the biggest men in
Georgia, officers of the law and min
listers of the gospel included.

Our South Carolina brethren are
not making a notable success OF
their plan to secure immigration, il
the following is true:
"A considerable number of the
strangers remained in South Carolina
just long enough to save up money
with which to pay their fares to the
West and left. Others have become
dissatisfied and have gradually drifted
away and now the labor agitators
have organized a strong political
movement against further immigra-
ton on the ground that it makes
competition against native labor.
AS the same is the case in the
South generally, prominent north
ern journal offers the following ad-
vice:
There are places in the South
where the people have yet to learn
that immigrants from Europe cannot
be treated as if they were blacks. An
Italian boy was shut out of Missis-
sippi public school because the peo-
pie of the small town objected to his
being educated with their children
Thereupon number of the Italian la
borers working in the neighborhood
moved away. They would not stay
where their children were discrim-
mated against.
There seems to be a good deal of
truth in the above, but its effect on
the South will be nil. Slavery train
ed, the Southern employer to treat his
laborers just as he pleased, and it is
hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
And, moreover, the Southerner is the
most conceited of Bourbons he
learns nothing and forgets nothing.

STRIKE NOT SETTLED
Goodly Offer Of Knapp and

Of Anything.
Associated Press to The Evening Times

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago. March 3O.-Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and Charles P. Neill, of
the United States Labor Commission,
arrived here today from Washington
to offer their good services in settling
the dispute between the western rail-
roads and members of the Brotherhood
OF Railway Trainmen and the Order of
Conductors.
Nothing tangible resulted from the
first meeting of Chairman Knapp and
Commissioner Neill with the parties to
the railroad dispute. Later meetings
will be held today, but it is not be-
lieved that any agreement or settle
ment will be had for several days.
Before the meeting, Grand Chief Nor
risey of the trainmen, and Chief Con-
ductor Garretson of the conductors, de-
clared that it was not in their power
to accept less than the men had
asked. for the reason that the men,
bership of both organizations had
voted on the propositions to be con-
sidered in the meeting, and the vote
was overwhelmingly in favor of a
strike, unless the demands of the men
were granted. After the meeting,
Knapp said:
There is absolutely nothing that
can say at the present time. Both
sides have outlined their position and
that is about all that could be expected
at the first meeting. We are to meet
the trainmen and conductors today"

100000 Fund Raised for Pro-

co.'s Graft Mongers.

Associated Press to The Evening Times,
San Francisco, March 30.-Rudolph
Spreckels, who, by backing the prose-
cutiOn in the graft investigation with
his fortune, made the present investi-
cation possible, gave to the Associated
Press statement in which he said:
Contributions from citizens to the
fund Of 100000 guaranteed by me be-
fore the commencement of the bribery
graft investigation are coming in
steadily, though slowly. They are in
amounts ranging from $50 to $1,000,
and more.
I'm the event that the ultimate total
of subscriptions falls short of the
100000 guaranteed, will you make the
deficit good?" Mr.. Spreckels was
asked.
He replied: II certainly will, and
If 1t costs more than 100000 to COM
plete this prosecution, that will make
no difference. Those engaged in it's
furtherance will never be hampered by
lack of funds, no matter what the bill
may be.

that the higher up the offender, the
more vigorous will be his pursuit.
"Ye do not, however, expect to send
every bribe-taker to prison. Some of
the miserable men who sold them
selves to the corporations must be
granted immunity In aid for their testi-
mony, which is worth a great deal
more to US as evidence of the guilt of
high corporations than their own in
generation would be"
In conclusion, Mr.. Spreckles said:
Every department of the city and
county government will be thorough
ly examined before the investigation is
completed, the police department along
with the others. No one will be neg
lected, no set of officials will be over

FELIX POWELL WILL HANG ON TUESDAY
FOR MURDER Of THE CONDT FAMILY

Victoria, Tex, March 30.-The final
chapter in one of the most noted mur-
der cases in the history of Texas will
be written next Tuesday, when Felix
Powell will be hanged here for the
murder of Mrs. A. J. Conditt and her
four children.
The crime occurred on the Conditt
family place near the town of Edna
late in September. 1905. On the morn
ing of the murder Monk Gibson, a ne
gro, reported to A. ]. Conditt, at work
upon rice farm several miles from
his home, that some trouble had en-
sued at his home. Conditt jumped on
a horse and, with the negro, started
back, but still unaware of the horror
that was ahead of him. Half way
down the road the two were met by
officers. Gibson was arrested and Con-
dit was informed that his wife was
dead. The husband and father gal
loped to the little cottage where his
loved ones had been left. There upon
the floor before the open door lay his
wife, weltering in her own blood. His
baby was seated in crimson pool cry

ing for the mother who was dead.
Stunned by the spectacle, Conditt
passed on into his little home.
In a rear room lay his only girl,
torn by the ravisher and killed by the
slash Of a keen-edged knife. In the
rear room of the home was found the
body of his three-year-old son, where
he had been thrown after the murderer
had slashed him twice across the
throat. Near by were the mutilated
remains of the two older boys. Both
had been killed with an iron bar,
Drained and left dying in the tall grass.
to be found after the other details of
the tragedy had been completed.
The negro youth, Monk Gibson, was
strung up in an effort to extort con-
fession from him. While being trans
ferred from one jail to another for safe
keeping he eluded his guards and re-
mained at large several days. Subse-
quently he was recaptured, tried, con-
victed and given the death penalty.
It was not until some time later that
Powell's connection with the crime
came to light.
