MISSISSIPPI RACE WAR.
Dead Line Drawn at Creek-Six Re
ported Killed.

HATTIESBURG. Miss, September d.
The report that six negroes had been killed
in riot at McLaurin. Miss, about fifteen
miles from here, where there is neither tel
ephone nor telegraph communication, caused
grave apprehension in Hattiesburg.
A few hours preceding the report of
riot a request for aid was received here
by NAH from Deputy Sheriff John Davis
of McLaurin. Davis appeal was accom-
panied by a copy of the following poster.
which he had found nailed up in two diff
ferent places near the plant Of the Nc
Innis Lumber Company, near McLaurin:
Take warning! Any negro found on this
side Of the creek after September %, 1907,
will be killed and the man that takes this
sign down will have a load of buckshot
shot into him. (Signed) D. O. O. O.,
X O. o."
The creek referred to is in the vicinity
of the McInnis mill. The warnings were
posted several days ago. but the situation
was Lot regarded serious until yester-
day. Jealousy between white and negro
laborers is said to have caused the posting
of the signs.

The republican city convention met in the
4th Regiment Armory. 1t was not a per-
functory convention; 1t was not a cut-and-
dried affair. 1t was an enthusiastic ga ther-
ing of men, who cheered every republican
sentiment, and who by their cheers and
their harmony exhibited determination to
elect in November the men whom they
named.
The convention met in the big drllroom
of the armory, which was filled with dele
gates and other enthusiastic republicans
In the galleries were several ladies with
escorts, who closely followed the proceed
1ngS. They added their enthusiasm to that
which animated the delegates.
1t Is seldom that more eloquent speeches
are made in conventions than those heard
last night. The speeches enunciated re-
publican ideas as well as brought to the
front the high qualifications of the several
Candidates for the office for which they
were made.
The enthusiasm of the convention reached
it's climax when Collector William F. Stone
There was a slight applause when he was
first recognized
Mr.. w. d. Plat, chairman Of the CITY COM

MUST CONSTRUCT SHIPS EAST.
San Francisco Builder Complains of
Bad Labor Conditions.

NEW YORK. September 27-Henry T.
Scott, who was president of the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco when that
concern built the battleship Oregon. said
In an interview hero as To the approaching
cruise of the United States battleship fleet
to the Pacific coast that the navy Of the
future will have to he almost entirely tho
product of eastern shipyards. labor con-
dltions on the western coast make eco-
nomical construction of battleships im1
possible.
Conditions are getting worse instead Of
better in the labor market in the west"
said Mr.. Scott. with the added cost OF
freight on the materials necessary for bat
tleship construction and the fact that with
a shorter work day our mechanics receive
p per cent higher pay than in the east, 1t
is impossible for western ship5uilders to
compete with those of the Atlantic coast.
"All the batteships the United States
will ever have on the Pacific ocean will
have to be built on the Atlantic seaboard,
and the people of the coast are glad that
the feet is to be sent around there"

EXPLOSION IN CHICAGO.
Another Incident in the Violent Oc-
currences Credited to Gamblers.

CHICAGO, September 27.-Another ex-
plosion-the nintl-was added last night to
the mysterious series of violent occurrences
credited to the feuds between factions of
Chicago gamblers.
This time the explosion occurred In the
downtown d -ict. A conclusion mys-
ferrous in nature its predecessors shat
tered the rear windows and doorway of the
Morrison building, at 123 and 125 South
Clark street, the greater part of the ground
floor of which is occupied by the cash
register business of ont Tennes
The explosion took place in blind court
running to the rear of this and adjoining
buildings and opening out of alley.
The court was Uttered with splintered
wood torn by the force of the conclusion
from the doorway and window easements.
A rickety stairway leading up to the rear
entrance of the premises, apparently was
the spot at which the explosion was aimed
and the structure was partly demolished.
The police, who reached the scene a few
seconds after the explosion. were unable to
secure any clues of value and are as COM
pletely at sea ever to the identity of
the guilty person.
This is the third attack on Mont Tennes
Since the beginning of the campaign of
bombs there have been eight other attacks
aimed at gamblers.

TRADE SCHOOL NEEDS.
More Applicants Than Can Be Accom-
modated

NEW YORK, September 27.-The Ma
tional Society for the Promotion of Indus
trial Education, which is investigating the
demand for public trade schools in cities,
has found the need for such schools as
great here in New York as in cities that
are more distinctly manufacturing COM
munities. Cooper Union opened this week
with a waiting list nearly as large as its
enrolment, and the Mechanics Institute
which will begin it's season next Monday
has $500 applications, with room for only
1,5OO pupils.
The demand for public trade schools has
caused the board Of education to determine
to open a night industrial school in the
new Stuyvesant Manual Training High
School, In East 10Th Street, as soon as the
equipment is ready. Two other evening
trade schools now are in operation, one in
Brooklyn, the other in Long Island City,
which have a register of more than 2,40O
An elementary evening trade school in
public school 81. in West 18th street, at
tended largely by negroes, is crowded
nightly.
The question of establishing free munic
ipal trade schools in the large cities will
come up for discussion at the convention
of the National Society for the Promotion
of Industrial Education, to be held in Chi
cago December 5.

$4,000 FOR FIRE ISLAND.
Marcellus T. Hays Makes Offer for
Property and Babylon Dock.

ALBANY, September 27.-An offer of
$4,000 for the Babylon dock and Fire Is
land property, owned by the state, by Mar
cellus T Hayes of New York, was read at
a meeting of the state land board yesterday
and was referred to Attorney General jack
son, State Engineer Schenck and State
Treasurer Hauser as a committee to look
over the property and report to the board
1t is believed that the state would gladly
sell the Fire Island property. but would
not care to part with the Babylon dock
which is across Great South bay, six miles
distant, for the reason that the dock is
needed by the health officer of the port of
New York.
The Fire Island property is subject to
lease by the health officer of New York,
the governor and attorney general, but the
power to sell is vested in the land board.
The Fire Island property came into pos
session of the state in 1893 when by act
of the legislature it was purchased from
Gov. Roswell p. Flower.
