JAPAN TRIP WOULD.
COST $500
INVITATION or JAPANESE
CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE
SEEMS TO HAVE A BIG
STRING TIED TO 1T.

Announcement was nadein the Of
fee Of the Chamber Of Commerce yes
terday that the proposed trip to Jap
an u9on the invitation Of several OF
the Aipponcse Chambers OF Com
merce will cost each one who goes in
the neighborhood OF 5000. This fact
will undoubtedly cause no little
amazement among all those who had
signilied their intention OF accepting
the invitation
Recently the announcement was
made from San Francisco that the
Chambers OF Commerce Of Toxic and
one or two other Japanese towns had
extended an invitation to visit Japan;
the invitation being to the San Fran
cisco and other Pacific Coast organi
cations. Then, it appeared, San Fran
cisco invited" Portland, and Port
land invited" Astoria.
And now comes the somewhat dis
concerting information that each in
vited guest is expected to pay con-
siderable more than he would have
to pay II he went first class on a
private trip OF his own. The 5000
should permit someone to make bit
OF money out OF the voyage, even if
champagne was served from soup to
nuts"
1t is thought by some that the an
nouncement Of the 5000 charge is a
frame up" on the part Of someone,
either in Portland or San Francisco,
to frighten off the many who were
planning to 60. About a dozen from
this city had formally requested to
join the party. Possibly the frame
up" has its origin in the presumed
fact that so many wished to 60 that
some one deemed it best to scare
most of them out of the trip.

Nine
Negroes Lynched in Texas
to AVenge Murder Of
Two White Men
Both Whites and Blacks
Armed and Race War
Is Imminent

Houston, Tex, June 22.-During
Sunday night nine negroes met death
at the hands of a mob in the vicinity
of Hemphill in Sabine county. To
day both races secured arms, and the
tension is such tonight that a race
clash appears imminent.
The dead are: Jerry Evans, aged
%; Will Johnson, aged "a; Nose
Shellman, aged "a; Cleveland Will
Jams, aged 81; William Manuel, aged
25; Frank Williams, aged %; two I'M
known men; William Mccoy. All the
dead are negroes.
The lynching followed the killing of
two white men by negroes. Two weeks
ago Hugh Dean and several other
white men visited the negro church
and school house where dance was
in progress, presumably in quest OF
/! liquor, it being the custom of some OF
| the negroes to sell whiskey during
the progress of such affairs. During
the evening, Dean was killed and six
4 negroes were held for the killing. At
the preliminary examination the evil
dence tended to show that 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
fired through the window. For this
crime Perry Price, negro, was ar.
rested, and it is stated, confessed, i'm
| plicating Robert Wight, relative OF
one of the negroes held for Deans
murder. Price declared he was Of
fered SIS dollars to kill Johnson.
Then followed the forming Of a
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 escape and was shot to
death.
Later in the night, William Mccoy,
another negro, was shot and instant
lily killed while standing at the gate
of the Johnson home, and this morn
ing the bodies of two more negroes
were found in the creek bottom.
Wight, the negro who confessed to
the killing of Johnson, and the man
he implicated, were taken to Beau
| mont for safe keeping under the guard
of military company. Sabine coun-

eastern section of the state with lack

An Appeal to Catholic Parents.


The following is an extract from the
strong appeal for Catholic education
in the higher studies, which was ad.
dressed to Catholic parents by Rev.
d. w. Hearn. S. j., formerly president
of st. Francis Xavier's College, New
York City. 1t is appropriate for the
present season, when parents are re-
minded to carefully consider their ser.
ious obligation towards the proper
education OF their children:
"All classes In our community-evep
/ the poorest-even those who are 'un.
educated themselves-are waking up
to the importance of more education
for their children. Certainly Catholics
cannot afford to be behindhand. Our
Catholic people must not be content
to be the ignorant portion of our popu.
lation. They must not deprive their
children of the advantages that other
children are Selling upon. They must
not condemn them, when they grow
up, to be the servants and drudges of
the community, because they have not
the education that has helped others
TO rise. The signs of the times show
that the children of today can never
hope to better their condition in the
world If they stop their education at.
the grammar school.
Now. on the other hand tits simpl,
treason to our Catholic principles to
send our children to the public high
schools. We cannot state this fact too
strongly. The danger to their faith
and morals Is greater in these schools
than in the public grammar schools.
We have realized the Importance Of
sending our boys and girls to the par.
ochial schools for the sake of the re.
ligious training given there. With still
greater reason must we learn the i'm
portance of keeping them out Of the
public high schools. Usually it is DUR
ing the high school years of a boys
life that he makes his first acquaint-
ance with dangerous temptations, and
forms habits for good or evil that cling
to him for life. Hence the danger of
high schools without religion. Hence
the need of religious influences and
surroundings at this period of a boys
life.
ITO you, then, Catholic fathers and
mothers, we appeal. Our chief con.
Germ is that you recognize the import.
ance of high school education for
your children, and do not rob them of
their future prospects in life for the
sake of few dollars they might earn
by going to work at once. To what
high school you send them, provided
1t be under Catholic influence. is .
