NEGRO is DESTITUTE.

A case of sickness and restitution
was reported to Mayor Mcdonald this
morning in that of a negro man
named James Brown. 1t appears from
the report that several negro men
working at Bonhommie, took the
negro, Brown, who appeared to be
suffering from dropsy, to a house
about two miles from Bonhommie
and about a mile from the college
placed him there about three weeks
ago. The house belongs to Mr.. Ell
bert Aldrich. The negro Brown has

GIVE CUBA TIME.

The New York Commercial echoes
Governor Magoon's statement to give
Cuba time to acquire the ways of self
government 1t holds that when the
island revolted from Spain, in 1895,
and was helped to freedom by us in
1898, it's people were not ready for
self-government; and that doubtless
the thoughtful among them felt that
it will take a generation to bring eff
ficent self-goverhment.
The Latin-American is not built
like the Puritan and the Cavalier. And
who, at the outset, would have pre-
dicted success at self-government by
Mexico as a republic? Yet she APP
pears to be getting along fairly well,
Cuba struck to throw off the Spanish
yoke simply because she could endure
it no longer-and had she Waited
fifty years longer, she might not have
been any nearer to absolute readiness
at self-government. And the mere in
PRODUCTION that her people are not as
ready to support the responsibilities
of self-government as they are to en-

an impressive program of dedication
was conducted.
Governor Noers speech was an i'm
pressive one. He spoke of the moral
effect that a good school gives tC
posterity and said that if the people
intended uplifting and purifying all
that pertains to the government OF
country. state and town it must be
schools.
He eulogized at length upon the
future of the country and especially
of this section in its agricultural de-
velopments, and spoke of the ultimate
influence in the future that the cor
rect training of the boys and girls
would have. Speaking of the growing
population of the United States, the
governor clearly Illustrated that new
conditions would confront the people;
that while the population was grow

diversity their crops that are now
grown. To gain this end he said, it
is necessary for the science of agri-
culture to be taught in the schools.
At the conclusion of the governors
speech Rev. R. ]. Bryant made a short
talk, during which he read a letter
from Mr.. G. NJ. Luce offering to the
school two scholarships, one for boys
at the A. and NJ. college at Starkville,
and one for girls at the Industrial In
stitute and college at Columbus, these
scholarships to commence in 1912.
Mr.. Luce's generous spirit has been
manifested in many ways to the peo-
pie of this community and the giving
of these scholarships has been highly
appreciated.
An excellent dinner was served at
the Gregory hotel, at which the gov
ernor was joined by number of the
prominent citizens. Governor Noel
left this afternoon at 1870 for Jackson.

THROWN AT HEAD
OF LORD NORTHLAND
Mrs. Stirling Says She Could
Not Be Blamed, Even if
Guilty

EDINBURG, Feb. 2.-The Stirling
third week of its hearing. Mrs. Stir
ling continued to deny the allegations
made by her husbands lawyers. Sew
eral times she broke down as she I'M
folded the story of her married life.
The Objectionable attitude of Douglas
Stirling, her husbands brother so fr-
ritated the witness that she broke out
into heated denunciation, and at the
suggestion OF the presiding Judge
Douglas Stirling left the room.
Mrs. Stirling characterized as
dreadful lies all the allegations Of
misconduct with Lord Northland. and
she fatty denied that she had promised
to give confession to an attorney for
Stirling, who talked with her after her
return from America in August of last
year.
There was nothing to confess she
declared.
Continuing. the witness said that the
statement made by Mrs. Atherton last
week that she (Mrs. Stirling) had pur-
chased revolver and declared she
would shoot Lord Northland unless he
married her was a fabrication. She
admitted having purchased a pistol
after she had left her husband. and
Sdiu Sne was SO miserable that she mad
contemplated taking her own life.
There had been throughout a con-
spiracy to get rid OF me by hook or
crook" she declared. There is abso-
lutely no foundation for the stories of
improper conduct with Lord Northland.
but even if l had been guilty no one
would or could have blamed me, for If
ever a woman was thrown at a mans
head I have been thrown at the head
of Lord Northland"
In the cross examination Mrs Stir
ling admitted driving and dining alone
with Lord Northland She said this
was due in measure to her love of
him, but largely out of pique aroused
by the neglect of her husband.

GYPSY TRIBES PLAN
TO ELECT new KING
Strange Nomadic People Will
Gather Near St. Louis to
Choose New Ruler

OAKLAND. Feb. 2.-Hoping to name
for themselves a king Who shall end
their two years travel and reunite the
scattered elements of their strange no.
madic tribe. all the gypsies of Serbian
extraction in the west have begun a
migration to Missouri, to meet their
kin at the gypsyry near st. Louis.
There an election of a ruler will take
place, and Steve Adams. notorious in
Pacific coast states. hailed as count
by his followers, soon is expected to
join the long trek across the mountains
and plains TO lay claim to the regal
dignities.
Adams, followed by perhaps a dozen
families, had wandered during the last
year or so in northern counties of the
state. Six months ago he moved into
Oakland. He squatted at Sixteenth and
Peralta streets on a city lot owned by
c. H Redington. president of the board
OF education.
Redington has made repeated efforts
to evict the Adams camp. Several
times Adams was ordered to vacate
within three days. Today Redington
appealed to Chief of Police Wilson,
saying the residents near Sixteenth and
Peralta streets object to the Serbs re-
naming. This afternoon Patrolman
James T. FLYNN was sent to serve notice
on Adams of removal, and within a few
days il Is likely the gypsy leader will
leave Oakland.

WELSH TOO CLEVER
FOR RUGGED
MEMSIC
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

lOfc~aot -%tSFot~t ~ 4 fC Nott
LOS ANGELES Feb. Freddy
Welsh's Incompatible cleverness, his
dazzling speed and ring generalship
proved superior to George Memsic's
ruggedness and hard hitting ability to-
night when the two men met at 10
rounds IN McCareys pavilion. Through
the entire 10 rounds it was the old
story of skill against Drawn, scientific
boxing against smuggling, and the for
mer trimuphed.
Beginning with the sixth Memsic ap-
peared to realize that as long as he
stood off and boxed with Welsh he was
lost. He began rushing the Britisher.
trying TO get him into corner. Welsh
was ready for this, and as Memsic
would rush in Welsh met him with
rights and lefts and occasional straight
jabs.
In the eighth Welsh displayed such
speed as has never been seen in the
ring at McCarey's. Five times in sue
cession he ducked or sidestepped Mem
sizes swings and each time landed full
on the Bohemians nose. Rounds nine
and ten were much on the same order.
James Jeffries, who arrived today
from San Francisco appeared in the
ring previous to the fight and was
given tremendous ovation. jeff will
remain here about a week.
