At the reception of the Chinese
United Society Saturday, to Chinese
Ambassador H. E. Wu Ting Fang, the
entire Lo Sun case was laid before
him. First a petition, in Chinese, by
Mr.. Lo Sun and representatives of the
Chinese United Society, was present
ed. Afterwards Mr. Thwing was in
troduced by the president of the So
ciety, and he presented the following
letter in English, with a full state
ment of the case to the Chinese Min
lister.
DR.. WI Ting Fang seemed much in
terested, and indicated a willingness
to look into the case. In his address,
just previous. he had expressed himself
as in favor of some notifications in
the present exclusion law. He asked
several questions as to Mr.. Lo Sun,
especially wishing to know just how
long the young man had remained in
jail.
Saturdays mail also took a letter to
the President OF the United States,
giving full details as to this most in
teresting case in connection with tbs
strange Interpretation of the exclusion
law. No doubt the matter will be con-
sidered when the Chinese Minister
reaches Washington. 1t is to be hoped
that some notifications may be Sc
cured, which viii ensure a fafrer treat
ment for the Chinese who come TO
America.
MORE CHINESE FOR HAWAII
The Chinese of Honolulu also ex-
pressed themselves very strongly to
the Chinese Minister as to the need of
allowing a certain limited number of
Chinese laborers to enter Hawaii each
year. The rice industry of the is
lands demands it. They make the
best labor on the plantations. The
permitting limited number of Chinese
to enter the islands yearly would in
no way injure the mainland, as they
are not allowed TO go there from Ha-
waii. 1t would be a great help to all
the business interests of Hawaii. both
American and Chinese. Ambassador

BeSt-ReSumeO of Week

The week just closed was
productive Of more good news
for the district of the same
class that has prevailed since
the first of the year, when the
definite statement came that
Cumberland Ely and Nevada
Consolidated reduction works
would be crowded to compile
ton; not only that, but also
that they would be made
bigger than the enormous
plants called for in the original
plans.
Since that announcement
good news has been coming
steadily to the district and al
most every day has witnessed
some new development tending
to confirm belief that the allied
interests in the camp see big
ger things ahead and have
greater confidence in the future
oi the district and the large
profits to be derived from their
investments here than ever be-
f re. nj
The announcement last week
of the intention to establish
train service between Ely, Ely
City and the smelter and later
between these points and the
mines added more conviction to
the belief that as soon as they
I'm possibly get to it, the larg-
est possible activity is to pre-
vail at concentration, smelter
and the mines in the outputting
of ore and bullion.
At the smelter the force has
now been brought up to about
she limit that can be used eco
nomically on work during the
winter. Men have been going
on steadily since the first of the

peaek and Ohio Railroad Company
before the Supreme Court of the
United States. The papers have been
received by that august tribunal and
will be considered in due season. The
decision may have a vital effect upon
the separate-coach laws throughout
the South, and the outcome IS being
watched with eager interest by the
friends and foes of the Jim Crow
car statutes so dear to the lower Stra-
tum of the Southern States. A brief
history of the case will be of interest
at this time. Attorney Chiles, a dig
nihed and good-looking colOred man,
while a through passenger on the
Chesapeake and Ohio from Washing
ton to Lexington, was compelled
when he reached the Kentucky line
to take the "Jim Crow" car, under
the separate coach law of that State.
Attorney Chiles claimed that he was
an interstate passenger, and that this
treatment was in violation of his con-
stitutional rights. Upon his return
toLexington he instituted suit against
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company for ten thousand dollars
damages. The case was tried in the
Favette Circuit Court, and judgment
was given in favor of the defendant
company. Chiles appealed to the
Court of Appeals for new trial, but
his motion was oyerruled and the
verdict of the lower court sustained.
The plaintiff then prayed for an ap-
peal to the United States Supreme
Court, which appeal was granted on
the plaintiffs citation of eleven er-
rors in the proceedings which ousted
MIN from tne tONCl SOui -. ~ AoAs ,
Attorney Chiles has fought out this
great battle alone, using his own
funds to carry the case from court

hat since the issue has attracted such

far-reaching value to the people at

WORTHY HONOR CONFERRED

More Degrees Than Any Negro His

The best known and most honored
young Negro in America is John An
derson Landlord. He is an architect
by profession who has a national rep
utation as having designed and super
vised the largest, most beautiful and
costly buildings in this country owned
by our race, and many of the same
class for other races.
A few weeks ago he was unani-
mously recommended and accepted by
the Bishops and General Conference
of the A. NJ. E Church as the super
yising architect to design and super
wise the work on all their buildings of
that great religious institution.
In the Bishops Quadrennial Ad-
dress to the Church they recognized
him as the authority among our peo-
pie along the lines of Christian art.
He has been honored by more of
our best and leading Negro Colleges
and Universities than any Negro IN
America, having received the honor

The National Baptist Convention

tending the convention The Busi-
ness Mems Leagde, Interdenomina-

the Commercial Club [white) lsve
pledged the committee their support.
The white friends have rendered the
local committee the beautiful and
commodious Auditorium, where the
convention will be held. The citi-
zens have joined hands in helping to
make the convention a success. Lex

entertain ten thousand people and
upward during the famous Lexington
Fair. The Rev. E. n. Hawthorne is
chairman of the local committee and
he is very pleased with the unusual
amount of interest that is being man
ifested by all people. Those wishing
