COTTON YIELD
One and One Half Acres on Mr..
J. E. ShaW'S Place Produce
Over Two Bales

Mrs. J. e. Shaw Of near Reddins
wife Of Mr.. J. E. Shaw, member OF
the board of supervisors of this coun'
uy, set her head last spring to pdr-
chase a parlor suit Of furniture with
money Of her own making. Accord
ingly she had Mr.. Shaw TO set aside
one and half acres OF good creek
bottom land which she planted in cot
ton, using the Triumph" seed which
were furnished by the government,
Mr.. Shaw kept All account OF the
amount Of labor expended in cultivat-
ing the cotton which was six and one
quarter days plOwing and three days
hueing. Mrs. Shaw has had picked
and ginned 924 pounds OF lint which
she sold for s 7.8 cents. The seed,
brought Sl2.85 and there is still
about four hundred pounds more OF
cotton to be picked making the gross
yield on the one and one half acre
$1O6.79 from which is to be deducted
the cost Of making and picking S3l. so,
the figures submitted by. Mr.. Shaw,
leaving a net profit to Mrs. Shaw OF
$75.29. 1t is indeed a splendid yield
Of cotton and shows what can be done
with correct farming methods. The
Sentinel congratulates Mrs. Shaw and
hopes that her success may be an OBJ
ject lesson to others.

The Sentinel has it on the authori-
ty of reliable negro who resides IN
Washington City that President
Roosevelt invited the most prominent
negro office holders in Washington
City to the White House a few days
ago fer conference on the political
situation, among those present were
the Register of the treasury and the
Recorder of Deeds in the District Of
Columbia. Mr.. Roosevelt PROFOUND
ed this inquiry to the negroes:
whats the matter with your people,
your preachers are against me, your
newspapers are against me and l
want to know what S the matter. The
Register of the treasury did not give
the President satisfactory reply but
in his answer, he Informed Mr.. RooSe-
velt that he had been compelled to
cancel his speaking dates in Kansas
for the reason tnat the negroes were
so violently opposed to Taft that they
would not come out to hear him. The
Sentinel S informant is of the opinion
that large per cent of the negroes
in the North and West will vote for
Bryan. He states that the interest
and enthusiasm manifested in the
Democratic ticket is unlike anything
seen in Washington since 1892.

communication received by the same
officers. Mr.. Tatum denied the
authorship or any knowledge Of the,
letter to which his name appeared
The publication OF the matter and
the comment then made in this paper
evidently gave the anonymous writer
some uneasiness Of mind, lest bis
identity be discovered, SO he inditeG
the letter which appears below to the
editor of this paper with the hope, NO
doubt. of confusing the efforts of any
one who would undertake to locate:
him.
This paper is not called upon to
pass upon the motives that prompted
the anonymous writer, but his
methods are those of the vandal, the

course frequently persued by him who

Gentlemen have never regarded it as
a fair method of warfare to hit at

five PISTOL SHOTS
ARE FIRED
Into A. s. Bells Residence in
Nighttime. His Daughters
Close Call

Five pistol shots in rapid succession
and the breaking of window panes
last Sunday morning, a little past 4
O'Clock, awakened Mr A. S. Bell and
family and an examination showed
that some miScreanL or drunken per
son had placed two 32 caliher Steel
bullets in the head board OF the bed,
just above the pillow, in which Mr..
Bells little daughter, Marcie, was
sleeping and still another just over
the head board into the wall. The
other two shots fired found lodgment
in the gallery walls. The crash of
the window paneS aroused Mr.. and
Mrs. Bell but they were unable to
locate the party who hao been So
handy With his gun.
Mr.. Bell is of the opinion that the
shots were fired at random and that
the one who did the shooting had nc
intention Of iniuring him or any m em-
Der Of his family as he thinks he has
not an enemy in the world, certainly
no one who would desire to d. him
such serious harm.
1t is a pity indeed that pistol tot
ing is such promiscouS thing. That
man who is afraid to step outside of
his door without gun in his POCKET
had best. remain at home. 1t is a
wonder that more homeS are not shot
into and more fatalities do not occur
from the firing OF pistols, the sounds
OF which ring out on the night air

WOMEN'S SCREAMS PUT
BURGLARS TO FLIGHT
Return Home to Find Two Men,
Who Escape With $500
Booty

The theft of valuables and coin
amounting to $500 from the home OF
Mrs. Catherine Connors at 33 Lyon
street yesterday afternoon added an
other to the already long list of bold
daylight burglaries that recently have
occurred in the panhandle tract. and
for which the police have made not a
single arrest. -
Returning 70 her home shortly after
o'clock with her daughter Mary, Mrs.
.Connors surprised the burglars at their
work. Terrified, the two women ned
screaming into the street, where Mrs.
Connors fell fainting. Neighbors ran to
the rescue, but the thieves escaped down
the back stairs of the house.
The burglars ransacked three of the
five rooms of the Connors home. In
one room they found dish in which
was s11o in coin. This. together with
articles of jewelry taken from bureau
drawer, made up their booty. The two
women were too badly frightened to
give even similar descriptions of the
thieves. The police believe that the
men are the same who recently have
been robbing many houses in that dis
trict.

TRIBUNE SPREADS
A MALICIOUS LIE
Dargie's Organ Cooks Up Story
That Spreckels Building
VIII Be Dynamited
Needless Distress Is Caused to
Hundreds Who Have Friends
in Tall Structure

The Oakland Tribune. Dargie's Official
graft organ, published and circulated
broadcast under f1aring headlines. last.
night a wild rumOr, utterly without
foundation, to the effect that the Claus
Spreckels- building was aheut to. be sdy-s
namited by anarchists. 1t was made TO
appear that threats had been made
against 1.-The Life of 3 Attorney John A.
Spinetti, well known lawyer with
Offices on the ninth floor. and that. as a
result, the tenants of the building
were in danger of destruction.
Will. copies of the paper newsboys
were sent from across the bay, who
caused the distress of hundreds of peo-
pie by crying that the building had
already been dynamited. 1t was clear
that the rumor was printed for the
purpose of diverting public attention
from the real motive of. and the real
men behind the blowing up of James
L. Gallagher's house in Oakland Per-
sonal animus against the prosecution
was apparent in every line ofsthe story.
The Tribune also added a deliberate
insult to the Italian people of San
Francisco by declaring that the dynaS
hitting plot was fostered by agents OF
the Black Hand. even going 80 far as
to say that threatening letters bearing
a. black hand had been sent to- Spfnetti.
The ridiculous part Of this assertion
is plain, for everybody knows that there
lis no Black Hand Organization among
San Francisco italians. The police alb
soluteIy deny its existence in any form
in the Italian colony here.
Spinettr and the police have effcially
rdenied the story In every particular.
and say that it is a falsehood without
foundation. Several days. ago on the
arrest of two anarchists, Spinetti was
asked tos defend them. Not wishing to
have anything to do with the case
Spinetti purposely placed his fee at a
Eprohibitory figure. That was all there
was to the story. Out of this incident
the Tribune made a deliberate fabrica-
Etion that-caused needless pain TO hum
dreds Of people who heard the shouts
I of the newsboys andsfeared that their
friends were in danger.
