BESANT IN CHICAGO.
World President of Theosophists VIII
Deliver Four Lectures.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Mrs. Annie Besant,
of Adyar, India, successor to the late
Col Henry Steele Olcott, as world pres
ident of the theosophical society. arriv-
ed in Chicago last night from New
York to attend the twenty-first annual
convention of the American section of
that organization which opens Sunday.
Mrs Besant was accompanied by Mrs.
Marie Bernard Russak, one of her pu-
pills and A. P. Warrington of Norfolk,
Va, a lawyer, writer and leading the
osophist. Mrs. Besant's attention was
called to a report that one of the
things that will be done during the con-
vention is to expel certain members of
the society who have expressed beliefs
at variance with her teachings.
That is untrue" she said. II wish
to correct that. There is nothing to
expel any one for. We do not dictate
what our members shall think or say.
1 intend to take that subject up in one
of my lectures. In fact. I sent the
manuscript over ahead of me. We
cannot afford to be narrow and petty.
We are setting a high ideal, and we
must keep it ourselves
Mrs Besant will deliver four lectures
in Chicago. She will go east early next
week and sail for Europe October 1.
She will attend the international cor-
vention of the society in India at
Christmas time.

IN A RACE RIOT.
Negro Women Beat Up School
Teacher at Independence.

independence. Kan. Sept. ia
race riot was narrowly averted at Lin
coin school in the northwest part of
the city last evening. where two negro
men and three negro women attacked
the white superintendent, Prof. Riggs.
The Superintendent was severely beat
en- by the negro women and REQUIRED
the attendance of a physician.
The trouble started at the afternoon
recess, when a young darky got into a
fight on the playground with a white
boy superintendent Riggs separated
the fighters and supposed the trouble
was over. Shortly before the dismissal
of school the negroes appeared in a
body and without warning attacked
Prof Riggs. He was knocked down
by the negro women. who carried
clubs, and would probably have been
seriously injured but for the interfer-
ence of the white pupils. The trouble
is alleged to have been started by the
rough element of the negro population
in the district of the Lincoln sch hooI.
superintendent Riggs stated last
night that the trouble had not been
settled and that there was likely to be
a further conflict between the whites
and blacks. There is much feeling in
independence over the incident and
growing sentiment for the separation
of white and negro children in the
public sch ools. Arrests will probably
be made. the authorities say.

A Crisis in the Affairs of the
Rapid Transit
OF Philadelphia Is Believed to
Be Near at Hand.
BREAK OF 4 DOLLARS
The Stock Reaches the Lowest
Point on Record.
The City Stands for Share in
the Trouble.

Philadelphia, Sept 12.-The belief
is general that crisis is at hand in the
affairs of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company, which controls the
street railway. facilities of this city.
For some time there has been steady
decline in the price of shares on the
local stock exchange. eliminating in
a sudden break of 81 a share from
1880 to 1880. On Tuesday the stock
hung around 20, but today there was a
further break of 81 a share to the
lowest price on record. This was ac-
companied by run1ors that the com
pany can not meet its fixed charges
and that therefore a receivership will
be necessary.
The stock of the Union Traction
company which preceded the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit company in the
control of the street railway system of
this city and the dividends of which
Rapid Transit broke on heavy selling
from 81 q to A. There was heavy
selling of Philadelphia Rapid Transit
all the way from 20 to IS 1-5.
The company is the outgrowth of a
curious consolidation and expansions Of
the past few years, each consolidation
involving increased guarantees of divi-
dend payments on the stock of under
lying companies. There are 6UOUUO
shares of Philadelphia Rapid Transit
stock outstanding on which $3.50 a
share has been paid Another assess
ment of $3.50 is due within a few months
and then the stock will be full paid.
The present company is organized upon
gigantic improvements, involving the
construction of extensive elevated and
subway lines to cost many millions. and
this work has been drain upon its re-
sources. The past year showed a fall
ing off in the earnings and there has
been public outcry against attempts
to increase the income by readjusting
rates of fare.
The financial status and dealings of
the company have been surrounded with
much mystery by those in control, and
this has helped to weaken the conf
dence Of stockholders. Recently the
company succeeded in entering into an
agreement whereby the city became
partner in the operation of the linN
Now an attempt is being made to upset
this agreement on the ground that it is
unconstitutional. The claim is made
that the city was cheated and that the
effect of the partnership is to saddle
upon it street paving expenses of more
than $500, 900 annually.

RATE CUTTING GOES ON.
Fares on Transatlantic Steamers Are
Greatly Reduced.

New York, Sept. 12.-The Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine company
announced today a reduction in mini
mum east bound cabin rates of $3.50
on the steamships Adriatic, Baltic,
Cedric, Arabic, Celtic, Minnehaha,
Minnetonka and Minnea polls, to cor
respond with the reduction made by
the company recently on the Oceanic
Majestic and Teutonic. The new rate
on the Adriatic will be S77.50 and on
the Arabic, Baltic, Cedric and Celtic
$72.50. The Mesapk rate is cut from
$40 to $50. A similar reduction was
announced on the Oceanic, Ma jestic
and Teutonic a few weeks ago as was
also a reduction of about the same
amount on eastbound ships of the
Cunard line.
The International Mercantile Ma
rine company announces that it was
not the plan of this company to as
sumo the aggressive in the rate cut
ting war, but simply to meet competi-
ton. Later the Cunard line announc-
ed a new schedule for its steamers,
that of a few weeks ago.
The east bound first cabin rate on
the Campania and Lucania which had
been 500. was cut to $725O The
rate on the Coronia and Carmania. re-
Gently reduced to $3.50, was further
cut to S72.5O- The rates on the Um-
bria and Etruria, recently cut from
$S2.50 to $50. were further cut to
$3.50. Whether or not the rates on
the new giant turbine steamer Lu-
sitania will be cut the agents were un-
a BILE to tell until after the arrival of
the ship in New York.

THEY COME HIGH.
Cost of Maintaining State In
stitutiOns on Increase.
Nearly $4,000 More in Past
Six Months.

1t cost the state $1s.S75.99 more to
operate the nine charitable institu-
tions of Kansas for the first six
months of 1907 than it did for the
first six months of 1906
This increase is due to two causes.
according to the board of control re-
ports. One cause is the general in
crease of population at the charitable
institutions, and the other is the fact
that $12,47S.79 more was spent in re-
pairs during the first half of 1907
than during the first half of 1906. The
total repair items for the stated per-
iod in 1906 was $16,s50.S5, and for
1907 it was S29, 9,S29.14
The cost of supplying the state in
stitutions with groceries for the first
half Of the year increased $4,000 over
the corresponding period in 1906.
The biggest increase was in butterine
meats and sugar. Brea dstuffs milk
eggs. vegetables and a few other items
show decrease.
The following table shows the
amount expended at each Institution.
compared with the corresponding per-
iod of 1906:
