DANGEROUS DYNAMlTER

York, Pa, April IL. - Charging her
husband. John Sutton, with being a
dynamiter. dangerous 70 the commun-
ity in general and to herself in par
ticular, Mrs. Sutton has caused his ar
rest.
Mrs. Sutton alleges that her husband
threatened to blow her up n that she
is afraid Of him.. Sutton. who lives at
Stewartstown, protests that the arrest
is due solely to the limitations of the
feminine sense of humor; that his wife
Is too literal, and that anyway. he
threat was perfectly proper as a bit OF
conjugal retaliation. He asserts that 1t
is obvious that his wife is not afraid
of him, as she has been blowing him
up regularly for years.
Sutton says that the whole matter
is a mistake; that he never threatened
to use dynamite, but that finding his
wife upon a street corner talking to
some neighbors, he h~umorously remark
ed that there was likely to be an ex-
plosion where there was SO much gass-
ing. That, says Sutton, was not a
threat, but a prophecy.

Washington, April 10.-President
Roosevelt today made public his letter
of April 2 TO the attorney general d.
recting proceedings by injunction TO
compel certain railroads of the south
TO furnish equal accommodations to
white n negro passengers. The text
of the letter follows:
To the Department of Justice: I for
ward herewith the report of the Inter-
order OF June n, 1917, and report OF the
failure of the railroad companies to obey
the order. under date of March 26, to-
gether with the letter of the commission
OF April 1. II appears that the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railway COM
pany has not complied with the order Of
the commission to furnish the same facil-
tiles to colored passengers paying first
class fare that are furnished to white pas
sengers paying first class fare. From time
to time various complaints have been
made to me by reputable colored people
to the effect that the accommodations fur
nished to colored people on certain rail-
ways are filthy and inadequate compared
to the same accommodations furnished to
white passengers paying the same fare.
The commission has taken what Is UNI
questionably the right ground that where
separate accommodations are provided for
white and colored passengers accommoda-
tons for colored passengers shall be as
good as those furnished to white passen-
gers for the same money, In other words,
while there Is nothing in the law which
forbids separate accommodations those
accommodations must be equal.
In State Laws.
This principle of equality OF
dation is set out explicitly I'm various
state laws. For instance, the code of the
state of Alabama provides that there
shall be equal but separate accommoda-
tons for white and colored races, by pro-
v,ding two or more passenger cars with
partitions.
M 49,
ply TO insist that the accommodations be
equal in convenience and comfort, for the
same money, wherever the separation Is
made. In this particular case where the
orders Of the commission, IL is important
that compliance with this order be imme-
dtately obtained. / suggest you proceed
TO enforce the order by injunction pro-
ceedings, unless in your judgment some
other course Is preferable.

Guilty Of Misconduct With
Howard's Wife.

New York, April 1l.-Dustin Farnum. the
actor. who was named by Howard Gould
in his suit against his wife. declares that
the charges against him are ridiculously
and entirely false, and says he hopes TO
have an opportunity to go into court and
deny there that he was ever guilty OF mis-
conduct with Mrs. Gould. He said II the
other charges made against Mrs. Gould
are as slim as those in which his name
is mentioned the case is a poor one.
Il first met Mrs. Gould several years
ago at an entertainment at which ] ap-

WANTS UNCLE
SAM TO INTERVENE

Port az Prince, April lI.-There is rea-
son to believe hat measures are being
taken in this city to force the .nterven-
ton of the United States If possible. AT
the moment apparent tranquility pre-
walls. but there is good authority for the
statement that hostility against the pres
ent Hayden government is growing more
intense.
1t is rumored. and the rumor IS a very
general one, that those classes of Hay
items who are opposed 10 the present gov
eminent. including the better classes.
coutemplat a movement which will bring
matters TO a crisis within a very short
time. II IS said that thev will take adj
vantage of the presence in the harbor Of
the United States warships to make an
armed demonstration, not in the expecta-
ton of overthrowing the government but
with the hope Of precipttating a landing
of marines, and, subsequently, American
Intervention.
A prominent Hayden official who is
highly esteemed in the foreign colony said
today:
AT present conditions here are .ntoler.
able. and il is impossible that they can
continue beyond q few days. Prompt in
tervention on the part OF the United
States or some other power is the only
means of avoiding a condition OF absolute
anarchy.
The Haytien people are not able to
maintain a stable government The better
educated OF them realize this. and they
would gladly accept provisional American
control if only as a guarantee of protec-
ton of life and property. i do not be-
lieve there exists a single Hayt.en ca
pable OF exercising constitutional control
as president. The present government is
merely a military dictatorship, perpetual
ing its power through sheer terrorism
