CARROLL on NEGRO'S FUTURE.
Declares That His Prophecies OF
Years Ago Have Been Fulfilled.

Washington, Dec. 14.-In the
opinion of the Rev. Richard Car
roll, who has been in Washington
twice during the past week, once
paying visit to the president, and
being the only negro admitted to
the Belasco theatre the other day
when the president and President
elect Taft spoke, the outcome of the
recent election will be benefit to
the negro because it will take him
out of politics; that is, he says, 80
far as the Southern negro is con-
cerned. Carroll says he can now
point to the fultillment of his proph-
ecies in this regard, which were to
the effect that Taft would make a
plea for the white voters of the
South and would ignore the negro.
Talking with me today, Carroll
said:
"Mr. Taft's Southern policy as it
has been outlined in his speeches
since the election, proves that I am
more of a political prophet than 1
have dreamed of, For the last ten
years I have been noted as man Of
visions AS the Bible says, "Your
old men shall dream dreams, and
your young men shall see Visions -
l delivered a lecture throughout
South Carolina on "A Vision Of the
Sunny South For ten years I have
been telling the people that the
Southern disfranchisement laws
would stand and that neither con-
gress nor the supreme court would
interfere. I have also been telling
them that the Republican party
would as soon as possible unload the
negro voters of the South, and that
the negro had better give his atten-
ton to his development along other
lines. Two months before election
I lectured in Calvary Baptist church
in Columbia on the future policy of
the Republican party towards the
negro in the South. About one
month ago I spoke in the opera
house in Sumter along the same
line. Now Mr.. Taft's New York
speech to the North Carolina society
justif1es every word I have said for
the last ten years.
sBut his Southern policy will be
oil UAIO1o UAO0o1A6 W S4O SooSh. IL
will make two political parties, and
for the present neither one will ca
ter to the negro, vote. The negro
will be relegated to the rear politi-
cally, but he will be benefited in the
end. Mr.. Taft's policy will increase
business in the South and help busi-
ness enterprise, boom real estate
and help develop the South, and the
negro will be benefited in financial
way If no other.
e3I'm glad to say that the negro
vote has been divided in the North.
The masses of the negroes will no
longer vote the Republican ticket;
but while the negroes in the North
may continue to, vote for one party
or the other and have their votes
counted, the colored people of the
South will give their attention to the
other things, for they are coming to
realize that they have not gained
anything from politics"

CASUALTY RECORD.
$4,000 Killed and 100000 Injured
During Past Year.

During Past Year.
Washington, December 14.-Be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 deaths and
100000 injured is the accident
record in the United States during
the past year among workingmen,
according to a bulletin on accidents
issued to-day by the bureau of Ia
Dor. OF those employed in factories
and workshops it is stated that prob
ably the most exposed class are the
workers in iron and steel. Fatal ac-
cidents among electricians and elec-
trio linemen and coal miners are de-
clared to be excessive, while rail-
way trainmen were killed in the pro-
portion of 7.46 death per 1000 en-
ployees.
The bulletin declares that much
that could be done for the protection
of the workingmen is neglected,
though many and far reaching i'm
provements have been introduced in
factory practice during the last de-
cade. It is pointed out that the pos
sibilities for successful accident pre-
vention have been clearly demon
strated in the experience of foreign
countries.
"Granting," the bulletin states,
that the underlying conditions in
European countries are often quite
different and that many of our in
dustrial accidents may be the result
of ignorance, recklessness, indiffer-
ence, or carelessness, the fact re-
mains that an immense amount of
human life is wasted and vast
amount of injury is done to health
and strength, with resulting physi-
cal impairment, which has a very
considerable economic value to the
nation as a whole"
It is insisted that it should not
be impossible to save at least one
third and perhaps one-half by intelli-
gent and rational methods of factory
inspection, legislation and control.

Mexican Iaborers Flock to America,


Washington, Dec. 14.-The at
effectiveness of the higher wage paid
to- laborers in the United States has
resulted in a considerable influx OF
Mexicars, according to- q special bull
.letin ISSUED to-day by the bureau of
labor. Only q few years ago, 1t 1s
said, those immigrants were seldom
found more than a hundred miles
from the border, but now they are
working as unskilled laboress and
as section hands as far east as Chica-
go and as far north as Iowa, Wyo-
ming and San Francisco. They are
said to be rapidly displacing jap
anese, Greeks, and Italians in some
occupations.
Because of lack of education and
of natural initiative, the work of the
Mexicans, it is said, is confined to
the simple forms of unskilled labor,
vet it is pointed out that their i'm
migration is having important eco
inomic effects for. Mexico as well as
the United States, and is becoming
an agency of something approaching
a serious revolution among the Mex
ican laboring classes.
These immigrants, it is stated, are
mostly from the peon and from the
migratory labor class, from a region
where agriculture and mining are
the chief employments. Work for
increasing numbers each year, it Is
said, has been furnished in the
mines, the cotton fields and in other
employment.
In most instances the bulletin
adds, these Mexican laborers are
transients and on returning home
carry back a newer and higher stand
ard of living. The conclusion is
reached that under these circum-
stances, Mexican labor immigration
is not likely to have much influence
upon the United States except as it
regulates the labor market in a
limited number of unskilled occupa-
tions and probably within restrict
ed area.

ably cold and dry. with brisk to high

temperatures in all parts of the state
on two nights. The temperature was
below normal every day during the
week, the average daily deficiency
ranging from IL degrees in the SOUTH
eastern to Is degrees In the north
western counties The lowest temper
atures occurred over the Missouri di-
vide on April 80 and May 2, the lowest
reported being 10 degrees, on low
ground, in Cherokee county, on May z.
The amounts of sunshine and pre-
cipitation were also below the normal,
and, under these unfavorable condi-
tions, vegetation has made but little
growth, altho good progress has been
made in preparing ground for corn
planting Reports vary as to the
amount of damage to fruit resulting
from freezing, but it is evident that
great injury was done in the southern
and central sections, and but little in
northern counties, where the blossoms
were not so far advanced. With fav-
orable weather conditions in the flu
ture, there will be an abundant crop of
fruit in the northern and fair yield
of the later varieties in the southern
sections. Ali kinds of small grain, pas
lures and meadows are in good condi-
ton. Corn planting will be general be-
fore the close of another week If the
weather is favorable. The week closed

Clinton, May Sin one of the most
remarkable pleas ever made in the
Clinton county court room, Frank l..
Holleran, attorney for the defense in
the case of the state VS.. Mrs. Irene
Dolph, charged with the murder OF
Fred Dolph, her husband, dramatic
ally demanded to know OF the where
abouts of one William Miller. north
side resident, who he declared he could
prove by two witnesses had confessed
to the killing of Dolph. The attor-
neys statement created a sensation in
the court room where the Dolph MUIR
der trial is approaching its end.
Attorney Holleran intimated that the
states failure to produce in evidence
the blanket which had covered the
body of the dead man indicated that
than Is alleged by the state. The at
torney went further, and declared that
Miller had said that he, CARRIED in
suit of overalls, had shot the sleeping
man with shot gun. The pleader in
timated that the shot had been fired
thru an open window.
The statement of the attorney is not
taken seriously by the public, altho
it is known that Miller has disap-
peared and that subpoenaes were is
sued for him by both the state and
the defense in the trial which has at
tracted such widespread attention in
eastern Iowa Altho Mr.. Holleran did
not name the witnesses in his plea, 1T
is understood that they are a couple
of north side women, a mother and
daughter, both of whom are reputed to
be of unsound mind Just what ef-
feet the statement will have upon the
jury remains to be seen.
The closing arguments are being
made today in the case, and Judge
Bollinger will instruct the jury late
this evening to the effect that there
are four verdicts from which the jur-
ors may select the one they think
proper. These are:
Murder in the first degree, with a
penalty, to be named by the jury, of
death or life imprisonment.
Murder In the second degree, With
a penalty to be fixed by the judge,
under the indeterminate law, at from
fifteen years to life.
Manslaughter. with a penalty to be
fixed by the judge, calling for a max
imum of eight years Imprisonment.
Acquittal either ON grounds of in
sanity or innocence.
The belief is general that either a
verdict of murder in the first degree
will be returned, or the jury will fail
to reach any verdict and will disagree.
It is evident from pleas and testimony
that the defense is laboring for a
disagreement. Attorney Holleran
asked the jury for an acquittal or
verdict Of murder in the first degree.

STOPS ILLEGAL FISHING.
Visit Of Fish missioner to Clear

Special to Republican.
Clear Lake, May 5.-The recent visit
of Fish Commissioner Green, Of Sioux

good effect, as since that time fewer
mysterious packages have been passing
about among the residents of this city
and the surrounding towns and coun-
try. Suckers" seem to be much less
common than before that time. and
illegal fishing seems to be entirely
stopped for the time being at least. 1t
is understood that Commissioner
Green will be back in a few days to see
that the respect for the law caused by
his visit of last week continues to be
effective.
Another effect Of his visit was to
stop the open sale of Clear Lake fish
in the meat markets of Garner. Clear
Lake sportsmen who got game in such
quantities as to be unable to use them
at home shipped them to Garner in
wholesale quantities, where they
were eagerly, snapped up by the meat
markets of that city. The appearance
of the state fish commissioner has
practically stopped this illegal traffic.
