NEAR RACE RIOT IN OKLAHOMA.
Danger Now Over, but Things Looked
Serious Yesterday.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, Dec. o.
A dispatch from Henrietta, Ok, this
morning says that quiet prevails in that
town and there are no further fears of a
race riot. The firing of small negro
shack owned by a white man near the
Frisco station yesterday morning caused
a call to arms. Within five minutes aft
er the fire alarm was given nearly 100
armed men were prepared for an at
tack. Three citizen patrols were estab-
lished.
Thirty-five negroes, heavily armed,
passed through Wildcat melting the
blacks to revolt They camped on the
river within ten miles of Henrietta. More
than thirty armed blacks went from
Welcetka to Clearview, one of the
thickest negro settlements in the coal
fields. About fifty stands of small arms
were purchased by negroes in Weleetka
before the hardware stores quit selling
to blacks.
The authorities have gained control
of the situation, however

XMAS UNDER GROUND.
Imprisoned Miners Have Feast and Send
Greetings to Friends on the
Surface

ELY, New, Dec. 27.-One thousand
feet below the surface of the earth three
miners spent the strangest Christmas in
the world
Bailey, Mcdonald and Brown have
been imprisoned in the Alpha shaft of
the Giroux mine since December l and
the rescuers still have three weeks work
to do before they can reach the men.
But Christmas they had fine holiday
meal. beginning with straight whisky
and topped off with coffee and cigars
Those facts "came up to light via the
modern telephone with which the mine
is equipped at the 1000 foot level
The imprisoned men sent the most
cheerful Christmas messages to all their
friends by this means, and said they had
supplies enough to last until the debris
above them is removed

JAP PARLIAMENT
OPENS SESSIONS.
MIKADO LAYS STRESS ON CORDIAL
FOREIGN RELATIONS IN SPEECH
FROM THE THRONE.
WILL RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.
Generally Understood That All Leaders
Are Agreed on Policy of
Government.

TOXIC, Dec. 2S.-[11 q. m. 1.-The
Twenty-fourth Diet was formally opened
today by the Emperor, who delivered the
speech from the throne in the House of
Peers.
In the speech from the throne the En-
peror laid stress on the increasingly cor
dial relations with foreign powers anS
the important bearing on peace in tt
far east of the entente cordiale concluu-
ed with Russia and France by Japan.
He dwelt on the Importance of the more
careful elaboration of fiscal measures
and said he expected the concurrence of
the Diet In the budget which would be
presented by the government.
Opening Scenes Brilliant.
The opening scene in the upper House
was brilliant one. The 377 members
composing the House We're clothed in full
evening dress, while the members Of
the different diplomatic corps wers
dressed in full uniforms.
The overwhelming majority of the gov
eminent in the Diet makes it improbable
that there will be any extended debates,
although there may be some in the
finance and immigration questions
To Restrict immigration.
1t is generally understood, however,
that all the leaders are practically agreed
on the governments policy looking to-
ward the restriction of emigration.
1t is probable that a motion of lack of
confidence in the cabinet will be intro
duced because of the proposed increase
in taxation, which is unpopular with the
masses. The motion may possibly pass,
in view of the fact that this Is the last
session of the Diet. The general election
will occur in the spring, at which time
new Diet will be chosen.

Mrs. Yeames found time to quit her

that an inferiah article is not substituted
for the material you have bought, and
that none of it is kept back Also you
can be certain that good work Is put in

less, too. What with lining and trim

Ne WARK CASE BATTLES
WOMAN IDENTIFIES GIRL, BUT Pc.
LICE ARE SKEPTICAL.
Anonymous Letter Declares Body Is That
of Former Hotel Telephone
Operator.

NEWARK, n. j., Dec. 2S.-The mys-
terry surrounding the death of the wom-
an whose body was found in a pond in
Harrison last Thursday appeared to be
little, if any, nearer solution today.
About the only hope the officials en-
gagged on the case have thus far received
III their attempt to establish the identity
OF the woman came today when the man
ager of an employment bureau said she
recognized the body as that of a woman
who shad sought work several weeks ago.
Mrs.~Nlargaret Wright, who has an en-
ployment office at Mont Clair, \. j., said
she is certain the body in the morgue
IS that of a woman who called at her
office early in December and gave her
name as Annie Nevins. The applicant
gave no address, but said she had been
employed as a housekeeper i'll Brooklyn
and wanted similar position in New
ark or Mont Clair The woman never
returned to the office after the first visit,
nor was any word received from her.
The identification made by Mrs.
Wright IS not accepted as positive by
the police, however. The hands of the
dead woman had been carefully cared
for and showed no traces of rough work
of any kind.
1t is believed that an anonymous let
ter which reached New York police head
quarters today may be of material aid
in establishing the woman's identity. The
writer of the letter said she was GER
tain the murder victim was a Miss
Smith, who at one time was employed
as telephone operator at the Hotel Cir
ard in West Forty-fourth street, New
York city. The writer said she was
known to have had trouble with man
in Newark. No one who knew Miss
Smith has yet visited the morgue, but a
detective who went to the Hotel Girard
with a description of the dead woman
was told that it answered very closely
the appearance of the former operator.

came to.

instead they will be built at Miratores,

from strategic reasons advanced for

question of cost, the saving of time, in
the completion of the canal, and that a

Whites in Frenzy Over Rumor That

dered by Orientals.
STORY IS WITHOUT FOUNDATION

LETHBRIDGE, Alberta, Dec. o.
Because they believed that a prominent
citizen had been murdered in a Chinese
restaurant, 1900 men raided and wrecked
the oriental quarter late Christmas night.
Restaurants and laundries were smashed
and doors, windows and entire fronts Of
buildings were reduced to splinters. The
regular police of the town were power
less and a brigade of mounted police had
to be called out to quell the riot
Rumor Starts Riot.
A story was circulated that Harry
Smith, a well known cattle rancher, had
been fatally wounded in restaurant.
Curiously enough, neither Smith nor any
one else had been hurt, but even the
police were misIed by the tale and two
OrentalS were arrested charged with the
murder. An indignant mob gathered OPP
posite the restaurant and there was talk
of !ynching. Suddenly some one threw
rock which smashed a front window.
In a moment the crowd was beyond con-
troll. Bricks and stones were hurled and
when the doors had been broken in the
table and chairs and dishes inside were
smashed. The Columbian and Alberta
restaurants were literally wrecked. Later
a detachment of mounted police ap-
peared and the crowd scattered.
Other Places Pillaged.
Hundreds of the rioters merely shifted
the scene of pillaging. Three blocks
away, opposite the Arlington hotel, they
cleaned out another Chinese restaurant
and roughly handled two orientals who
were captured within.
Mayor Galbrath and Magistrate
Townsend both addressed the mob and
urged it to dispense and as all possible
damage had beenNdone it obeyed.
