PERSECUTION OF REV. T.
TOWNSEND UNREASONABLE.

Rev T. j. Townsend, pastor of
Spruce Street Baptist Church, who was
arrested here last week and taken
to Memphis on a charge filed against
him there several months ago for car
rying an unlawful weapon, has been
given an unreasonable fine and penal
sentence. Courts Of justice are not
criticised when they fulfil the end for
which they were created, that of
melting out reward or punishment COM
mensurate with justice; but when
they degenerate to the level Of perse-
cution, they cease to fulfill their
mission.
Rev. DR.. Townsend, some time ago,
in that very town in which he is now
imprisoned, said some very compli-
mentary things of the women of his
race without disparagement of the
women Of any other race. His utter
ances, it is said, were distorted by
some one and reported to the white
people, who took umbrage at what the
Rev. DR. Townsend said. Is it not
possible that the feeling engendered
then is not at the bottom of the ex-
tent-ofthe-law sentence imposed upon
him now?

1 YOAKUM ID CALL AT WHITE HOUSE AGAIN
F4VORS CLOSE COOPERATION BETWEEN RAILROADS AND
 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Rock Island Official Will Urge RoOse-
 welt to Issue Reassuring Statement-
 President MeIIen Has Made 1t Plain
 to a Cabinet Officer, With Whom He
 Has Communicated, That He Will
 Visit the White House Only as an
 Individual.
 Washington, March 17.-B. F. Yoak- um, chairman of the board of directors of the Chicago, Rock Island and Paci- fic railroad, who conferred with Presi- dent Roosevelt last week on the rail- road situation. will visit the White house again this week. Mir. Yoakum, who has announced himself unreserved- ly in favor of close cooperation be- tween the railroads and the federal gov ernment, will again urge the president to issue a reassuring statement out lining his attitude towards the rail- roads.
 President Charles s. Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, will call on the president Tuesday afternoon and it is still the belief in, official circles that the other three railroad presidents, with whom J. F. Morgan requested the president to discuss the railroad situation, will come to Washington this week.
 President Mellen has made it plain to a cabinet officer with whom he has communicated, that he will visit the White house as an individual and will not undertake to represent Messrs. Mo Crea, Newman and Hughitt or the rail- road corporations generally.
 As yet neither of the other three pres idents have asked MT. Roosevelt to re- ceive them though it is believed that some word may be received from MT. Hughitt tomorrow.
