TO COLONIZE NEGROES.
Company Seeking Incorporation in
State of California.

The project to establish large
colony of negroes in southern Cali
fornia is being promoted by an asso-
citation to seek state incorporation.
One of the promoters is Lieutenant
Colonel Allensworth. formerly a
chaplain in the army. Several million
dollars is said to represent the
wealth of the negroes and back of
the movement.
Colonel Allensworth said that COM
mittees Of the association will soon
visit the 10000 acre track in River
side and San Diego Counties and is
satisfied that they will purchase the
land.
The colony. he said, will not be
communistic, the land simply will be
offered in small tracks at low prices.
The object is to establish a prosper
Gus colony where negroes will have
the opportunity to work under fav-
orable conditions. Literature describ-
ing the plan will be sent broadcast

PLAIN TALK FROM BISHOP.
He Thinks the Pulpit Needs "More
Xirility and Less Effeminacy.

What we want is more virility
and less effeminacy," said Bishop w.
A. Gambler before the assembled
Methodist ministers of Atlanta at the
regular conference on last Monday.
We've got to be more vigorous.
We have a big work to perform, AMI
we want to show that we mean bust
ness"
Bishop Gambler was talking of the
layman's missionary movement, and
the recent meeting at Knoxville,
Tenn, and said he had noticed a ten
dency in the men to drop away from
the church.
"They are leaving things to the
women" he continued. "This is not
hard to account for. Pretty little curl
ed up speeches and curled up words
don't draw men. They draw men e.
away. It's plain, straight talk and
hard works and business actions that
attack the kind of people we are
after We need virility. The men
must be fed with something maaLv.

TRAIN VICTIM IDENTIFIED
As Man Who Wanted Roosevelt e.
Collect Debt of $50, ,OOO,O

The police believe that the body of
a man killed by a train. which was
picked up on the West Shore tracks
near Hackensack, n. j., on Friday is
that of Orlando Toland, the man who
startled the secret service men at
Sycamore Hill by appearing close to
the Presidents house on Tuesday
night.
The man, who was undoubtedly in
sane. said that he had travelled from
his home in Oxford, Ala, to employ
President Roosevelt to collect for him
debt of $4,000, 900 from John ID.
Rockefeller.
Toland said that he would start
West to find Mr.. Rockefeller to col
lect the debt. A description of To-
land, received from HIS sister In Ala
bama, agrees with that of the dead
man.

Every fifteen hours life is lost in

out by Secretary Travis H. Whitney,
of the public service commission in

SANK TO DEATH.
Sixteen People Drowned in At
tempting to Cross a River.
A FERRY BOAT SINKS

Hn the Middle of the Tombigbee and
All the Occupants Except Two Are
Drowned-One of the Victims Was
the Son of the United States Engi-
neer and the Fifteen Others Were
Negroes.
Leslie Verneuille, a white boy, of
Mobile, and fifteen negroes were
drowned in the Tombigbee river at
McCrew's shoals, shortly after noon
Thursday, while crossing the river in
ferryboat from the governments S
works where they were employed.
They were on their way to dinner
when the accident occurred.
About midstream the little boat
drifted beyond control of the men
into the rapids and soon capsized.
Two of the negroes in the boat
scrambled on top as it overturned
but the other occupants were thrown
into the swift current and were
drowned almost instantly. On ac-
count of the strong undercurrent res
cues were impossible.
The young white boy drowned is
the son of w. B. Verneuille, the chief
engineer in charge of the government
work at the shoals. Their home is
at Oakdale. surburb of Mobile. The
boy was not employed at the works
but was there on a visit to his father
and was returning home when the
accident occurred.
The Tombigbee river at the point
where the boat capsized is very
treacherous and has long been con-
sidered too dangerous for naviga-
ton. McGrews shoals is about one
hundred. miles up the river from Mo-
bile and there is no telegraph or tel
ephone communication with the
place.

as honest expert testimony, in too
many cases it is measured only by the
fees received by the medical witnesses,

testify according to the wishes and
purposes of the ones paying the fees.
In many notable court cases, par

the surface for the truth have readily
discovered that it is not difficult to
find a certain number of doctors who
will testify one way and another GER
tain number who will pledge their
words another way, and that the line
between these opinions are as sharply
and Enthusiastically drawn as are the is
sues between the plaintiff and defend

the prosecution in a criminal case may
seek to establish, and no matter how
many physicians it may hire to sup
port such a case, it is always easy for
the defense to present just as great an
array of medical talent.
That such practical have cheapened

citation against the custom is exceed
ingly good news. Here's a toast to the
Kentucky Medical association. May
its wholesome example be emulated by
many others.

The most significant results of the
financial furry is the proposal to
lower the cost of living by a substan-
tial reduction on the staples that
make up the daily bill of fare. This
action is suggested by Chicago deal
ers. The theory is sound. 1t is better
to take less profit and have it come
regularly than to kill the goose that
lays the golden egg. The ready ac-
ceptance of the reduced labor scale in
the Montana mines is along the same
safe and sane lines. Prices have been
advanced too near the breaking point
and change will relieve the tension.

The old method of trying to cure
