NO "coLoRED" ELks.
White Lodges to Make War on Negro
Movement in Minnesota.

st. Paul. Mimi, Feb. 21.-The first
steps towards a determined fight to
prevent colored men from appropriat-
ing the name of Elks and Incorporating
colored lodges of Elks in Minnesota
has been taken by Grand Exalted
Ruler John K Tener of Pennsylvania
who has notified Secretary of State
SchmaM of St. Paul that the grand
lodge B. P. o. T., the established white
fraternity, will fight the use of the
name by colored men. The white
grand lodge requests that time be al
lowed in which to send representatives
to wage the legal warfare against the
colored order.
The clash is precipitated by the or
ganization Of two colored lodges of
Elks in Minnesota one of which is To-
Gated in st. Paul and is largely COM
posed of Pullman porters, colored bar
bers and other colored men.
The fight against the colored order
i'm Minnesota will be prosecuted by
the grand lodge B. P. o. E. to relieve
local Minnesota white lodges of the
embarrassments of a warfare involv-
ing the color line. Legal proceedings
will be instituted to enjoin the colored
lodges from using the name and sym
bols Of the white lodges and to force
them to eliminate from their order
all elements which would suggest to
the uninformed a connection with the
white fraternity.

who are bent on driving out Of the

eral conflicts have already occurred be-
tween the soldiers and the people, and
that the Japanese have been driven en-
tnely from the towns of Hop Gi Bin
ard En- Tai Hop Gil.
II is said that one of the causes of
tho grievance the Chinese have against
the Japanese is the fact that the lat
ter are trying to get control of the

The fact that trouble exists between
their country and Japan is well known

Motion Regarding LaFoIiette's En-.
pIoyers' Liability Bill is Rejected.
Washington, Feb. 21.-SenatorS
Brundagee and Flint today sought to
have the senate committee on educa-
ton and labor report back to the sem
ate LaFollette's employers liability
bill, with the request that it be sent
to the judiciary committee, which has
jurisdiction of the Knox bill on the
same subject. The motion was re-
jected. and hearings on the LaFollette
bill! will be continued. Legislative
agents and railway labor organizations
announced that the LaFollette bill rep
resented their views, and that the
Knox bill is unsatisfactory to them. 1t
was due largely to their request that
jurisdiction was retained by the CONS
mitteee on education and labor.
