NEGROES DEMAND PLANK FOR
REPEAL OF jim GROW LAW.

Three representative Negroes were
granted hearing by the committee
on resolutions Thursday and pledged
their support to the Democratic par
ty if it inserted plank in its plat
form along the lines suggested by
them. They were A. F. Wilson, AM,
Chicago; R. B. Montgomery, editor of
the Weekly Advocate Milwaukee, and
Rev. D. d. Cole, pastor of the Peoples
Presbyterian church, Denver. All
three have been consistent Republi-
cans in the past
They want something in the plat
form along the lines advocated by Mr..
Bryan in his numerous speeches on
the subject of the Negro question.
Professor Wilson was the spokesman
of the delegation. The Negroes want
a plank guaranteeing them the same
rights that are granted all other good
American citizens. They want mo
special and class legislation" meaning
the law to compel whites and blacks to
ride in separate cars, denounced
I'VE are convinced that we cannot
hurt ourselves by supporting your
nominee on such pledge, as Mr.. Taft
is pledged to uphold the policies of the
present administration, which are dis
tasteful to the Negro" said Professor
Wilson.
The resolutions committee promised
the Negroes they would be looked af-
ter properly in the platform. They ap-
peared at the suggestion of Senator
Pettigrew.-TheP Post.

NELSON AND CANS RE.MATcHED

San Francisco, July S.-After talk
ing for several hours tonight a return
match was arranged by Tex Rickard of
Rawhide, Nevada, between Joe Cans
and Battling Nelson for September 7th,
before the Ely, Nevada, Athletic club.
The fight is to be to finish, for a
100000 purse, of which 100000 will go
to Nelson and $4,000 to Cans. Both
men are to weight in at 1873 pounds
stripped, at the ringside, and the
same conditions that prevailed at the
last fight will hold; that is, the referee
will not break the men. Rickard is
to post $4,000 in the National Bank
of Ely in ten days, and remainder of
the purse thirty days before the fight.
Nelson and Cans each must put up
$4,000 within ten days, and $500 each
thirty days before the fight. Ben Sc
lig signed for Cans and Willis Britt for
Nelson.

Rotation Cake.

One, two, three. four cake, or rota-
lion cake, as it is sometimes called
calls for the following ingredients:
One cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups
-four, four eggs, l teaspoon soda and
1 cup sour cream. Cream the butter
and sugar, beat the eggs we'll and add
to the mixture. Beat in thoroughly
half of the flour, then stir. the soda
into the cup of sour cream, allowing it
to foam over into the mixing bowl
Beat in the rest of the flour. Meg
Dod's rule of giving 200 beats to every
cake the last thing before putting into
the oven is an excellent one.

To Clean Lettuce.

When cleaning lettuce one often
finds that each leaf is covered with a
lot of tiny green bugs which it seems
impossible to remove. 1t is a great
time saver to wash the lettuce in cold
water first to remove it of dirt. and
then take water as hot as you can
bear the hands in and place each leaf
of lettuce in the water and shake it
around in the water several times
You will find that the bugs will loosen
their hold on the lettuce and will re-
main in the water If the waiter be-
comes cool add some more hot water.
as the hot water is great deal more
effective than cold. After the bugs are
all off the lettuce replace it in cold wa
ter for a short time to renew the crisp
uess.
