Britain did not want war with
Spain when the ear was cut off,
but thirty years later she did, and
that ear was unrolled from its cam

can (Canadian) boundary. Well, |
in brief, suppose the two nations
find themselves at war? Britain
twice armed the Indians against
US. At those times it would cost
more to arm and drill the Negroes
than their services would be worth.
Not so now. If the present-day
Negroes should be offered a de-

they would flock to that standard
as iron filings to magnet. The
secession they helped to defeat of
their masters they would help to
win for themselves, and the Gulf

Joseph B. BASS, editor of the
Helena Montana Plaindealer,
writes that he and a large delega-
ton from the great Northwest will
be in attendance on the Western
Negro Press Association and the
National Negro Business League
which convenes in Topeka in
August. Mr.. Bass is a pusher,
and since Topeka has been pre-
pairing to entertain these organiza-
tions, his shoulder against the
wheel has been seriously missed.
Mr. Bass was the life and spirit of
all public gatherings in Topeka,
and to whatever he set his hand
was a magnificent success. 1t was
in his fertile brain that the Kansas
Lincoln Day Club was planned
and executed. Today this is one
of the strongest organizations in
Che West. 1t is through this
great body of men that the Negro |
demands and receives political
recognition. Prof w. T. Vernon,
who has the distinction of having
served this club twice as president,
was appointed registrar of the
United States Treasury, and had
the unanimous endorsement and
support of the club which is COM
posed of the most substantial citi-
zens in the State. Come on, Bass;
Topeka has a warm welcome for
yourself and friends.

AFTER WAIT OF YEARS
LAND CLAIM IS UPHELD
George F. Wheeler's Right to Oil Tract
In k,rn County Is Upheld
by the Govern

After many years of waiting George F.
Wheeler of Bakersfield was yesterday
awarded possession of 4sO acres of land
in Kern county that had been claimed
by the state under the act which pro-
vides for certain improvements after the
claim has been held for more than a
year.
Wheeler settled on the land many years
ago, when Kern county was famous for
it's OIL While prospecting for Oil mis-
funds gave out and he was forced to
suspend operations.
In the contest of the case he proved
that he had erected a derrick and made
other tangible preparations to bore for
oil, but was unable to proceed for want
of capital.
The decision was rendered by Gen.
Frank c. Prescott register of the land
Office, and concurred in by o. w. Robin
son, receiver. The whole matter hinged
upon the technical meaning of the word
appropriated, the decision holding that
Wheeler had legally appropriated the
land, and also that If was no fault Of his
that ne had failed to strike oil.

Charged with forgery, Ralph Buckley,
the son of a Chicago millionaire, was ar

is said to be a wayward fellow, who has
refused to follow his fathers advice,
with the result that he has repeatedly
gotten into trouble.
He came to Los Angeles from Las We
gas, Nevada, about six weeks ago and
took a position with J/E. Scott, prin-
ter at 2O5 New High street. Buckley
worked on a commission. 1t is alleged
that he forged the signature of the Los
Angeles Pacific Railway company to an
order amounting to $50 and received ms
cent
This seemed so easy that, 1t is allegeu'
he presented second order, forging tne
signature of the Los Angeles Brewing
company. Yesterday morning 1t is SAID
that he presented third spurious oroer

nized that the signature was not genuine

BOY BURGLAR IS
PUT ON PROBATION
CASE cONTRASTED TO SIMILAR
RECENT AFFAIR
Neuro Lad Who Stole Watch Given
Liberty Under Courts Guidance.
White Boy Got Nine
Year Term

Philip Adams, a negro OF II years.
pleaded guilty before the superior
court yesterday morning of burglary.
When the information was read to him
he pleaded guilty at once Judge Bord-
we'll put him on three years probation
Adams lives at Monrovia, and it was
there the crime took place. Adams broke
into the house of w. H. Faulk, prom
inent resident, and carried off coat ana
a valuable watch.
When asked what could have possibly
prompted him to such thing Adams,
trembling, replied: II don't know judge.
1 couldn't help it. 1t was the first time
ever did such a thing and l won't DO
i. again if you'll let me off this time
The arresting officer testified that
Adams was favorably regarded in Mon
rovia, and that his parents were hard
working. The district attorneys ofnce
suggested that mercy be shown the young
criminal as this was his first offense
Judge Bordwell turned to the defendant
and said: "Will you promise to behave
yourself and make a man of yourself If
turn you loose?"
Eyes, judge" was the answer.
"Then you can go free now but you
are enjoined to appear before the pro-
baton officer once a month for the next
three years and if you commit another
offense this court will send you to prison" "
This case of Adams is in striking
parallel to that of John Lewis, also II,
who was sentenced to San Quentin for
nine years by Judge Smith, having
pleaded guilty to two informations OF
burglary, which, however, were of more
criminal nature than the one upon which
Adams was set at librty.

Spread Is Given Every

The members of the executive commit
tee of the Democratic club are enter
tanning each other these days at the
headquarters of the organization. Each
officer has promised to banquet the other
officials until the round is gone through
and then the same thing will start again.
These dinners, which are exclusive, take
place Tuesdays at 1890.
Yesterday 1t was Eugene Germain, pres
ident of the club, on whom the respon-
sibility of feasting his colleagues fell.
The best caterers in the city are en-
ployed to cater to the epicurean taste of
these distinguished followers of Jeffer-
sonian doctrines. But then the main
cause of the gathering is to further social
relations among the officers of the club.
At yesterdays dinner there were present
Eugene Germain. Mayor A. c. Harper,
