Author of clansman Outlines Mission

NORFOLK, Va, April 30.-Thomas Dix
ons southern company, In The Clansman."
opened an engagement at the Academy of
Music here for the period of the James
town exposition. The author received a
f1attering reception from the audience at
the end Of the third act. and spoke in part
as follows: The ships which landed at
jamestown 300 years ago brought with them
the negro slave and planted with this col
ony the dragons which in later years pro-
duced the civil war. This republic is great
today. not by reason of our area or our
census roll. but because Of the race Of
pioneer white freemen who settled this con-
tinent. On the preservation Of the purity
Of this racial stock depends our future. The
peanut politician the mlkSop philan-
thropist who breaches social equality of the
negro and Aryan Is today a deadly foe to
the peace of this nation. l am lifting my
voice In sole protest against this threaten
ing degradation of our racial stock. The
prejudice l would excite is the kind that
will save the negro from opprobrium and
the white race from a degraded mongrel-
ism. AS standing challenge to my crit
les, 1 offer $1,000 reward for the discovery
of a single historical error in THE Clans
man.

FOR A TRAFFIC D6hEAU.
Maj. Sylvester's Plan for Regulating
Movement Of Vehicles.

Maj. Richard Sylvester, chief of police.
has in view the formation Of a traffic
bureau. In connection with the work Of the
police department, believing that such q
step would greatly facilitate the work OF
regulating the movement Of vehicles. and
would be the means Of better protecting
pedestrians. Unfortunately. however, he
has not a SUFFICIENT number Of men for the
work It Is his idea that with the addition
Of about 200 members . the force he could
establish the bureau.
There are persons who know the laws
and obey them,' said Major Sylvester to a
Star reporter this afternoon, land there
are others who do not know Them but are
willing to obey. Those of another class
are not familiar with the laws nor have
they any desire to obey them"
1t Is Maj Sylvester belief that every We.
nlcle should be licensed. the drivers to be
licensed upon recommended ton of the police
department. Business vehicles, he thinks
should be numbered as well as licensed
win vehicles under proper control, he
thinks. there would be fewer accidents and
the police would have less trouble in finding
drivers who had run down persons because
OF Their recklessness. He is also opposed to
permitting children under sixteen Years OF
age to handle horses or horseess vehicles
The superintendent of police thinks q
great amount of good Is to be ACCOMPLISHED
by the use of placards at certain street
crossings and upon the public roads. Pc
oestrlans. he believes should have the right
OF way at street crossings. Regulations
regarding the rules of the road have been
printed in pamphlet form, and Mai Syl-
vester things it might be we'll for many
drivers and owners Of vehicles to obtain
copies or them from the several police sta
tons Recommendations upon this sub
Ject have been made to the District Com
missioners from time to time.

HAGERSTOWN. Md, April 30.-Judge
Keedy yesterday began the hearing Of the
protests filed against twenty-five saloon
keepers who seek to take out license on
May l. The courthouse was filled with
ministers, temperance advocates, liquor
dealers and witnesses. A large number of
ladies who have been active in the interest
If the anti-saloon movement were also
present The law requires that before a
license shall be issued the dealer must file
l application Endorsed by twelve respecta-
u., property owners residing in the district.
The grounds Of the protests were based
chiefly on the allegations that the sigma
lures were not those of persons legally
qualified. 1t was also urged that saloons
are public nuisances, and also that the
LIQUOR license law Of Washington county is
unconstitutional. The protests were sus-
tained against the following saloonkeepers:
Henry Bowers, proprietor Of the Maryland
House; George w. Bowers, proprietor Of
the American House; James F. Hickey.
John A. Delaney. Jas. w. Hepner and ].
Edward Wolford. The protests against

NEW YORK April 30-While the trans
actions in Union Pacific common again
furnished a very considerable proportioh
of the days total dealings In the STOCK
market. that security did not today occupy
the overshadowing position which IL o'd
Yesterday. In fact today's trading and
more particularly that of the early part
OF the session showed much greater d.
yersification of speculative interest than
has been noted in a long time.
Transactions upon fairly large scale
were conducted also in Southern Pacific,
81 Paul Atchison. Pennsylvania and
Reading. while is the industrial group there
was considerable animation in United
States Steel common, American Smelling
and Amalsamated Copper.
During the first hour of business the trad
ing was characterized by generally
stronger tone. and a nu 'Ner of the active
issues scored advances ranging between
and points Subsequently irregular ana
reactionary tendencies developed, Wnich
were as matter of fat. no more definite
~ accounted for than was the preceding
general advance.
The rise in prices appeared. however, to
have attained proportions inviting profit
realizing sales and the latter We're accom-
panied by tentative operations for the snort
account in many cases. There was a large
increase in the volume of business in COM
parison with recent totals. Notwithstanding
the pronounced relaxation in activity after
the market developed the reactionary ten
denotes mentioned.
There was very little news or novel gossip
in connection with the transactions in one
stock or another. and even in the instance
OF Union Pacific yesterdays various and
manifold rumors were missing.
United States Steel Comment.
) The dividends on the United States Steel
shares were not acted upon until after the
close of the business session, but the course
OF United States Steel common did not in
dictate that there was any change in the
general notion that the dividend rate on
that stock would be left unaltered at this
period.
London was not a factor Of much in
fluence in the local market. and trading
there was hampered to some extent on ac-
count of the suspension of business upon
the London stock exchange tomorrow.
The copper stocks remained decidedly
firm in the London market. while conSOls
and other home investment issues continued
heavy.
The usual weekly government weather
bulletin set forth mixed conditions bear
ing upon the crops. but because of the
breaking OF the drought in Kansas the
grain market declined further.
Local money market circumstances and
other routine features of the financial Situa-
ton showed material alteration.
