BOY SPINNER SOUTHERN oTToN MILL. PHOTO
EXHIBITED CULVER.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-The day
Is coming when a negro will be
the president of the United States,
when negroes will control the arts
and sciences, and white people
and negroes will have exchanged
places in the social and industrial
world.
This is the belief of scientists
of the American Anthropological
society, as expressed by DR.. F. w.
Culver, himself a famous scien-
jtist. He startled delegates to the
congress of physicians and sur
geons here by making this re-
markable announcement, and CIV
ing the supporting reasons.
Striking evidence of a change in
racial standing is already under
way, says DR.. Culver.
He insists that white children
are becoming degenerate, while
negro children are regenerate.
In proof of his statement he
exhibited photographs of white
children of the Southern cotton
mills and Central states coal mines
as the most pronounced types of
|degeneracy. Photographs of hand
some mulatto, octoroon and SEX
toon children, with high foreheads
and robust physiques, were shown
as proof of the physical and men
tai regeneration of the negroes.
DR.. Culver also declares that
the amalgamation of the races
with the consequent production of
a hybrid race similar to that of
Cuba and other Latin American
countries is probable in the South,
and that If the relative increase in
the birth rate of negroes and the
contrasting decrease in the births
of Caucasians continue, the con-
sequence within a few decades
will be preponderance of ne
groes and hybrids and the numer-
Jical inferiority of the whites.

He says that the fusion of
whites and blacks is becoming
more rapid as result of a tend
ency today to break down the
barriers of social classes.
Significant evidence of the dis
appearance of race prejudice has
been offered" says DR.. Culver,

American Catholic Missionary So

eligibility to the clergy in Cuba

aeement of Port and Want An
other Collector

New York, Nov. 5.--Merchants and
imporrers who are disgusted with con-
ditions in the New York custom house
are planning to ask President Tart TO
remove William Loeb, Jr., from his JOB
as collector of the port.
Representatives Of mercantile con-
Germs that have been squeezed by dis
honest officials in the appraisers de-
partment as well as by gratters IN
the surveyors division, have made UP
their minds to ask for square deal
from the president of the United
States. At the same time they want
congress to send commission to New
York which will comb the customs
service out and not permit its reports
to be pigeonholed in the treasury de
partment.
Many Of these facts, it is understood
have been placed before Senator Jon
athan P. Dolliver 1t Is not likely, sc
| importers here believe, that Senator
Dolliver will let UP until he gets a
commission with instructions to work
on the level.

Paris, Nov. 5.-The Steinheil case
remained the center Of interest today.
Contrary to expectation, Nine. Stein
he'll again took the stand, it having
been decided to resume the direct in
terrogatory addressed to her yesterday
in the opening proceeding. Judge De
Wales dealt with the appearance yes
terday of Rene Collard, the actor who
yesterday gave another name and who
asserted he was the real assassin. The
judge disposed of this incident as a
pure invention and said an investiga-
tion showed the man was irresponsi-
BILE. Nine. Steinheil was subjected to
a severe cross-examination The wom-
an finally broke down and made an
agonized appeal to the jury to believe
in her innocence. Notwithstanding this
appeal the interrogatories continued
relentlessly.

NTERURBAN
SENTIMENT IS
GROWING FAST
COMMITTEE RETURNS WITH FA-
voRARLE REPORT FROM IOWA
CITY AND A MEETING OF THE
BOARD Is IN SESSION.

Interest In the interurbans continues
to grow and this afternoon at meet
ing of the board to be held at o'clock,
something will very probably be done
to place Ottumwa in line for another
road The interurban in question this
afternoon at the meeting Of the board
of the Interurban Construction Co., Is
not the original line to Oskaloosa, but
the Ottumwa-Iowa City line. This prop
osition Is but a week old in Ottumwa,
but already much has been done
toward making the deal go through.
The cause of this afternoons meeting
is the return of f. w. Simmons and
Major T. P. Spilman from meeting
held in Iowa City last evening. The
experience cleaned by Major Spilman
in connection with the Ottumwa-O Oska-
loosa line as right-of-way agent caused
his selection as one of the committee
to Iowa City The object of the com
mittee's visit to Iowa City was to
learn what is expected of Ottumwa in
the construction of the proposed line.
1t is stated by board that the commit
tees report will meet with favor at
the meeting this afternoon and that
the probable outcome will be, the call.
ing of large meeting in the very
near future.
This meeting will be an opportunity
| for Ottumwans to show their willing
ness to do what is required of the city
to secure the much sought for inter
urban. There is little doubt about the
| city becoming the southeastern ter
minus of the new line. In the meeting
at Keota held Wednesday night, Frank
Tanner, David Brandt and j. F. Smith
of Iowa City, stated that Ottumwa anc
Iowa City agree to look after the ter
minals and furnish the right of way fol
twelve miles outside Of their city
/ limits. Also to pas for the survey ant
the recording of the bonds. They ash
Keota to pay $4,000, furnish right-of
way for five miles north and south ant
to furnish yards and car barns II

TWO NEGROES
RESCUED
VIRGINIA MOB
REFUSAL OF euARpsMEN TO
SHOOT FELLOW ToWNsMEN is
CALLED MuTiNY; SUSPECTS
sPiRiTED AWAY TO PRISON.

Gassaway, w. Vo., Nov. 5.-After a
restless night the residents of this
town awoke today to find that two ne
groes under arrest In connection with
q criminal assault last Wednesday,
and whose lynching lad been threat
ened, had been taken from jail here,
placed aboard special train and
started for prison at Sutton, w. Va,
before o'clock this morning. The
negroes were surrounded by national
guardsmen and deputy sheriffs and
were accompanied by Governor Glass
cock, members of his staff and the
mayor of this place, who departed
with the prisoners.
In an effort to save the two negro
suspects held as possible accomplices
in the attack upon Mrs. George Lock
hold, company B of the national guard
of West Virginia, composed Of resi-
dents Of this place were put on guard
duty last night at the town jail. The
members Of Company B voted not to
shoot their neighbors should trouble
arise. This was characterized by Gov.
Glasscock as mutiny. Company A OF
Wheeling, in a special train, was hur-
ried to the scene.
Gov. Glasscock and two members of
his staff arrived at 9 O'Clock and the
little community was practically I'M
der martial law.
Armed Men Roam Streets.
Throughout the town two parties of
men. heavily armed, roamed the
streets, needing only leader to bat
;oiI nd foly tho
two negroes forcibly from their
guards. At late hour the streets
were still crowded, the men jostline
each other, many openly brandishing
revolvers and making threatening re
marks against the inearcerateds ne
groes.
VIII Not Shoot Townspeople.
Passing up the main street of the
town, the governor was not met with
cordially. AS he reached the jail
steps he turned to the captain of the
Gassaway militia company and asked
! him If his men were prepared for ser
ious trouble and were ready to pro
| tect the Jail with their lives If neces
sary.
The captain of the company sai6
| his men had voted not to shoot theil
fellow townsmen, even If commanded
to do so, but would protect as best
they could, without shooting, the ne
groes in the Jail.
The governor told the captain thai
his men were in virtual state d
mutiny and would be severely censur
ed for their action The captain re
piled he had done the best he cou!6
with his men, but they were firm il
! friends.
