CALLS 1T COERCION.

The war clouds still hang low on the
horizon of certain members of the
school board in this city and the la
dies of the federated clubs are yet on
the firing line in their fight to have all
the teachers in the high school treated
alike in the matter of promotions and
raise in salaries. The latest cause of
trouble in this matter is the circulation
of a petition among the teachers of the
high school which is practically an en-
dorsement of the recent schedule of
not ratified at the. regular meeting
of the board last week and which was
not ratified at the, regular meeting
Monday night. - ------
The plan, of the alleged clique in the
school bo2rd and a certain principal or
two was to discredit the resolution and
efforts of the federated clubs to pro-
tect the older school teachers. The
federated clubs defeated the secret
meeting resolution for the new schedule
and at a meeting of the executive board
yesterday morning decided to take &C
ton in the matter of the resolution now
being circulated among the high school
teachers.
OF course the high school teachers
will sign the resolution endorsing the
new schedule of salaries and Shaping
the federated clubs in the face when
the loss of their positions stare them
in the face if they fail to do SO. This
is the way the club ladies look at it.
They declare it is coercion, nothing
more or less, and VIII stand by their
guns in this fight for civil service reg
ulations for the schoof teachers of the
CITY to the end. 49,

1t is generally conceded, however,
that the votes of these Russians were

WILLIAM H. TAFT.
These messages were today exchang-
Cd between Lincoln and Cincinnati. The
message from Mr.. Bryan came while
Judge Taft was addressing the general
conference of the Women's Foreign
Missionary society of the NJ. E. church.
He received the message on his return
to his residence and answered it at
once.
In his address to the women, having
been fatteringly introduced by Bishop
]. c. Hartzen, Judge Taft gave an en-
thusiastic commendation or foreign
mission work. His experience IN the
far east, he said. had taught him the
value of this work in uplifting those
people, and he commented upon the ele-
waiting effect of Christianity and espec-
iallv upon the heather women. In the
Philippines Judge Taft asserted, the
present degree of success in civilization
and government was made posslple
through the influence of Christianity.
The speaker was warmly and enthus-
iasticaliy received by members of the
conference. Each had provided hersel1
with a small American flag. The pres
ence Of Judge Taft was the signal tor
a pretty demonstration. At the end OF
MS speech he was overwhelmed with
personal CONGRATULATIONS on his success
at the polls.
Judge Taft will tonight be the hon.
ored guest at the twenty-ninth annual
dinner Of the commercial club to De
held at the Queen City club. Judge
Taft has been a member of this
exclusive organization for Is years and
his presence tonight is to be made
much of as a local celebration.

LOOK TO JACKSON.
Attorney General Will Be Logical
Candidate for Governor.

1.-THE vote at this election makes F.
S. Jackson the logical candidate of the
Republican party of Kansas for gov
ernor in 1872" said a prominent poll
tician today. when he looked at the
figures which showed that Attorney
General Jackson was running ahead OF
Stubs, Taft, and all the rest in the
election returns.
The exact figures by election pre-
cincts are now coming in by mail at
Republican state headquarters, and are
being footed on adding machines as
rapidly as received. Here are some in
teresting comparisons from the first 216
precincts counted in this way out of a
total of 2,225 precincts in the state:
Iart ..'.'.- E1'ooo
Bryan ........... ......... 1I'oo1
STUDIOS ..... .-'''-''-- --'o-.
The same PIG precincts gave jackson
q, 107, and gave Tulley for state treas
urer $1,000.
1t was claimed by some that Jackson
would fall far behind his ticket be-
cause of the fight which the "wets''
were expected to make on him. The
fact that Jackson is running ahead in
stead of falling behind makes it ap-
parent that the people of Kansas are
for Jackson very strong.

Tragedy In Old Beauregard House

: New Orleans, June ia BLACK
Hand" tragedy with the unusual sequel
that all the blackmailers numbering

their victims escaped without
scratch, was enacted here Wednesday
In the historic former home of Gen.
Beauregard in the French quarter, and
now the residence of Pietro Giacona,
wine merchant, reputed to be one Of
the wealthiest Italians in the south.
Giacona is 81 years old and how no
and his son Carrada managed to kill
three armed and desperate men is not
yet clear to the police. It is certain
that the Giaconas invited the black
mailers into their house and wined
and dined them for several hours be-
fore the shooting. The Giaconas
claim that the unusual feast was prac-
ucally forced on them and that they
did not shoot until after one Of their
guests had opened fire. The dead are
Giavonni Barreca, Giro Cusimano and
one unidentified Italian. 49,.
The wounded man is Francisco Vat

have been shot while passing Giacona's
house, leaving the possibility that the

nine NEGROES
ARE LYNCH]ED.
\ TEXAS MOB AvENGE SLAIN
WHITE MEN BY "A SERIES
OF LYNCHlNGS,
The Tension at HemphiIi, in Sabine
County Grows Exceedingly DAN
gerous. A Race War is the Prob
able Outcome. ~.

Houston, Texas, June 23.-During
che night nine negroes met death at
the hands of mob in the vicinity OF
Hemphill, in Sabine county.
Both races secured arms and the
tension is such tonight that q race
clash seems imminent.
The negroes that were killed range
In age from twenty-five to twenty
seven years.
The lynchings followed the killing
OF two white men by negroes. Two
weeks ago Hugh Dean and several
other white men visited negro
church and sohoolhouse, where a
dance was in progress. Presumably
the White men were in quest of liquor,
it being the custom of some of the
negroes to sell whisky during the pro-
gress of such affairs.
During the evening Dean was killed
and six negroes were held for the kill
ing. At the preliminary examination
the evidence tended to show that the
plot was formed at the dance to kill
Dean.
Saturday last Aaron M. johnson, a
prominent farmer, was assassinated
while seated at the dining table with
his wife and child, the bullet being
fred through the window: For this
crime Perry Price, a negro, was ar
rested. He confessed, duplicating
Robert Wright, a relative of one OF
the negroes held for Deans murder.
Price declared no was offered @5 to
kill Johnson.
Then followed the forming of the
mob last night, the overpowering OF
the jailer at Hemphill and the lynch.
ing of the six negroes held for the
murder of Dean. Five were hanged
to the same tree, while another at.
tempted to make his escape and was
shot to death. Later in the night an.
other negro was shot and killed while
standing at the gate of the Johnson
home, and this morning the bodies Of
two more negroes were found in the
creek bottom.
Wright the negro who confessed tc
the killing of Johnson, and the man
he implicated were taken to Beau.
mont for safe keeping under guards
of the militia company of San Au'
gustine.
