ATTACK AND BEAT THEM
Upshot OF Long Standing Race
Feeling May Involve Us

Bellingham, Wash, Sept Grace
hatred of the East Indians employed
in the mills and factories in this city
caused riot Wednesday night, in
which scores of Hindus were beaten
and hundreds were driven from their
homes and work.
Six badly injured Sikhs are now in
the hospital, 400, frightened and half
naked, are guarded by the police in the
Jail and the corridors of the city hall,
and somewhere between here and the
British Columbia line $50 natives of
India, hungry and half clothed, are
tramping along the Great Northern
railway toward Canadian territory and
the protection of the British flag.
Feeling Long Standing.
For long time there has been much
i'll feeling between the whites and the
dark skinned orientals. Finally, seem
ingly at prearranged signal, the long
expected cry of Drive out the Hindus'
was heard in all parts of the city, and
the mob swept down on the Hindu
lodging house district.
The police were helpless. All au-
thority was paralyZed, and for five
hours mob of half a thousand white
men raided the mills where the blacks
were working battered down doors OF
lodging houses, and. dragging the in
vaders from their beds, escorted them
to the city limits. with orders to keep
on going. The trouble started at c and
Holly streets, a district with Indian
lodging houses. The houses were raid
ed and the denizens started on theil
trek for the Canadian line. The moi
then swept down to the water from
and mill after mill was visited, the
white employees joining the mob. ant
every black being hustled outside.
Taken TO Jail.
Here the police suggested that tht
undesirables be taken to the Jail. Thi!
was hailed with delight and the black:
were hurried along From this timt
on very few were beaten. the bloot
thirst of the mob seemingly being sat
isfied during the attack on the lodgin:
houses.

sist on having statehood and are de-
termined to adopt the constitution, you
ought to have republican government
to amend the constitution. He GER
tainly has forgotten the argument he
made in Ohio recently that the tariff
ought TO be reformed by its friends.
If he applies his logic to this constitu-
ton he ought to insist that the consti-
tuition should be reformed by it's
friends, rather than by its enemies, and
surely there is little to induce conf.
dence in the republican party, when
the party has delayed statehood for so
many years and DELAYED it for purely
partisan reasons.
Taft and Imperialism.
Mr.. Bryan said that Secretary Taft's
plea was for Imperialism. He said tnat
the people of Oklahoma have had
enough experience with carpet bag
government to know something about a
colonial policy. He declared that the
black man of the south is treated much
better than the brown man of the fn.r
ippines. that the black man has the
protection of the constitution, state and
national, while the constitution is de
MED to the Filipino.

the wise pioneers in discovering the
education that will prepare the farm
boy for his business in life. No. teach

He gets the boys. Everybody appre-

cussion of how the school should be
made to fit the boy.
Three thoughtful, high class farmers

had applied business principles to

A RECEIVER NAMED
Wreck on Mattoon-CharleSton
Line Causes Court to Take
Charge of Properties.
GR0SSCUP IS INTERESTED
Prospect of Damage Suits Amounting
to Hundreds of Thousands of
Dollars Impels Action.

Chicago. Sept. 6.-The Central Hi
Heat, Light and Power company, and
the Mattoon City Railway company, of
which Judge Peter S. Grosscup and his
friend and protege, Marshall E. Samp-
sell. are part owners and the former
a director were placed in the hands of
a receiver in Mattoon, ILL.,, yesterday.
This action, following closely in the
wake of the disaster on the line of the
Central Illinois Traction company last
Friday morning, when II lives were
crushed out and 40 persons manned,
some of them for life, stirred Mattoon
to its very center.
Wreck was Cause.
While no mention of the wreck was
made in the court proceedings, it is
admitted that the receivership is di-
rectly due to the catastrophe that made
damage suits amounting to hundreds
of thousands of dollars against the
company a certainty. What chances,
if any. the heirs of those killed and the
injured have of collecting from the
road is a matter of speculation in Mat
toon and vicinity.
The nominal reason assigned for the
receivership was debt of $5s500 due
| the Colonial Trust and Savings bank
of Chicago by the Illinois Central Trac
| ton company. 1t was alleged by the
bank which asked for the receiver that
the company was unable to either meet
this obligation or pay its current ex
penses, and therefore d receiver should
be named by the court. 1t was fur
ther represented that the two othe!
concerns were really a part of the trac
tiOn company, and on this account tht
receivership should embrace all three
companies.
Carried Out in secret.
The preliminaries to the receivershiI
| proceedings were carried out secretly
For several days rumors have been rife
that the wreck would force the Traction
company into a receivers hands, bu
the reports were persistently denied.
