Smythe Of Pcndcton and the secre-
tary OF the Oregon Wool Growers as
soclat.on, all heavily interested in the
sheep business made up the other side
of the conference.
Reasons for Complaint.
one hundred ffty-twu thousand five
hundred head OF sheep and 1890
head Of cattle were authorized by the
secretary of agriculture 10 Craze on
the Deschutes national forest during
the season OF 1908. After a careful
field examination by two inspectors

during that summer the areas allot-
ted 90 sheep were found to be badly
oyorgrazcl and a reduction OF $500
head ol sheep was authorized for the
grazing season OF 1909. or reduction
OF about % per cent. The shcepmen
agreed that q reduction was necessary
but as It was impossible for the gov
crnmeut to give them official no
tice ol the proposed reduction until
after they had bred and made up
Their bands, the shctpmen filed pro-
test against the reduction through the
Oregon Wool Growers association.
The proposed reduction was to be
made on the basis OF a sliding scale,
sheepmen who grazed less than 1900
head of sheep. be allowed to increase
20 per cent. provided none went above
the protective limit of 1900; owners
grazing from 1900 to 1000 be reduc-
ed - per cent, provided none went
below 1909 head OF sheep owners
grazing from 1000 to 1000 head be
reduced 33 1-3 per cent provided
none went below the highest number
In the next lower grade; and owners
grazing in excess OF 1000 sheep be re-
duced 40 per cent, provided none went
below the highest number in the next
lower grade.
Agreed To Compromise.
Considering that the sheepmen did
not have sufficient notice of the pro-
posed reduction In the number OF
sheep TO be allowed to Craze on the
Dcschutes national forest, and not de-
string to embarrass the sheep men in
any way, the forest service reduced the
percentage of reduction to 10 per

total reduction OF only 1880 sheep,
or II per cent under what grazed on
tho forest during the season of 1908.
The secretary Of agriculture has au-
thorzed the grazing of $4,000 head
OF sheep and 10000 head of cattle
and horses on the Deschutes national
forest during the season of 1909.

Belleville, ILL.,, December "a, 1909
A regulation mob had formed at Belle
Vile, H., recently. 1t was an "order-
ly" affair, duly organized according to
Hoyle, with all Of the attendant ac-
coutrements: the rope, butcher knives,
coal oil and matches. In its personnel
was the proverbial interspersion Of
"the best citizens" to heighten the tone
of "thc public sentiment vouchsafed
by the enterprise. Invited witnesses,
noncombatants and innocent bystand-
ers were duly in evidence.
A Negro engaged in drunken me-
lee with street car conductor, killed
the white man, and righteous indigna-
ton was to take formidable effect in
a lynching and burning.
The stage setting is now complete,
and the first act has begun. There Is
the usual tin-horn oratory haranguing
the mob, and it seems that the law,
so frequently sullied, is again to be
forced to abdiate its throne. Rife into
the air goes the word to the sheriff
that the mob is coming, and for him
to have the keys of the Jail IN waiting
and the prisoner disarmed, so that the
program of the lynchers can be pro-
ceeded with without a hitch" and with
expedition, in order that the mob Of
'best citizens" may perform their pur-
pose and "disperse quietly"
And then something happened for
which the mobocratic playwright had
not provided. The sheriff of Belleville
did not like the part assigned to him;
he baked right down in the middle Of
his lines, and insisted upon becoming
himself the star performer Instead of
assuming the role ordinarily assigned
to sheriffs, that of resistance being
useless in the face of the determined
men," he made part for himself,
broke up the play and incidentally
made the shrievalty of Belleville the
cynosure of the admiring eyes of the
world. His reconstructed lines were
these: "This is not Cairo The law
is supreme here"
He did not take the prisoner away
for safety. He did not stand and de
liver the keys Neither did he elo
quently adjure the mob TO let the
law take its course" Not he; not the
sheriff Of Belleville. Here is what he
did: He swore in sixty deputies, and
distributed to each arms and fifty
rounds Of ammunition, and placed then
in the Jail. He then telegraphed tt
Governor Deneen to hold troops In
readiness, because he was of the opin
ion that something was going to droI
down in Belleville, but it wasn't goinl
to be the majesty Of the law.
After disposing of these preliminary
precautions, he sent this characters
tic message to the mob of the 'bes
citizens"
II AM READY AND wAITINGl"
The mob of "best citizens saw tn,
point at once. The leaders were no
slow in comprehending that this wa
not to be the usual bloodless victory
1t was apparent that this sheriff wa.
not only intent upon protecting tn,
prisoner, but that he meant to uphold
the law.
This was more than the "best citi
zens" had bargained for, so the lynch
ing party quietly dispersed" and al
is truly orderly at Bellevilie.
All hail the sheriff at Belleville
He is a peace officer, f1rst-class and fit
man who knows his duty and has tn,
courage to perform It. He furnishes
an approved cure for weaker men, and

Christmas day yielded its annual
crop of casualties. The list, as COM
piled from the reports Of the various

dozen injuries. The giant cannon

structive agents, and it is followed
closely by the pistol and toy cannon.

with but few arrests recorded, and
while most of these we're for drunken
ness. still the officers state that Nasn,

after the two had gone out in the back
ward to indulge in target practice with
Robards' pistol and had returned tc
the house that the owner Of the weapon
pointed the revolver at Milan and sho'
the latter through the heart. They
had been awaiting the call to the din

SIDE WITH WHITE STRIKERS.

SIDE WITH WHITE STRIKERS.
Resolutions adopted by Brooklyn Citi-
zens Against Negro Girls Taking
Places of Striking Shirtwaist Work
ers.
A meeting of the Negro citizens of
Brooklyn was held at the Fleet Street
A. M. E. Zion Church Friday evening
pursuant to call issued by the Co.'S
mopolitan Club, at which the part the
Negro women are playing in the shirt
waist makers strike now in progress
was discussed.
The meeting was well attended by
both men and women Of color. Three
of the white girl strikers were present
and told the story of their difficulties
in picketing against number OF Negro
girls who have been brought in under
guard by the employing shirtwaist max
ers. ~
The chief speaker was Mr.. Mailley
of the Consumers League, who Is an
organizer and who is helping the
strikers in their efforts. He told Of
his thrilling experiences in 1894 while
organizing the Negro miners in Ala
bama. He explained some Of the
things for which the striking shirt
waist makers are contending, and
brought out two main points: First,
that the women in this great strike
were having to organize all workers
in the shops; secondly, that they would
welcome the Negro women into their
ranks, since it was fight of wage
earners without regard to race, color
or creed.
The meeting was then thrown open
for questions and discussions. After
several remarks pro and con and some
pointed questions, to which the prin-
cipal speaker responded, a resolution
was introduced as follows: Resolved,
That the Negro citizens of Brooklyn
in mass meeting assembled protest
and urge the women Of color to refrain
from acting in the capacity Of strike
breakers in the shirtwaist making con-
Germs of New York City, because we
regard their action as antagonistic to
the best interests of labor.
1--WE further urge that In the event
of the successful termination Of the
strike that organized labor exercise a
proper consideration Of the claims and
demands of the men and women Of col
or who desire to enter the various
trades in the way of employment and
the protection of the various labor
unions"
The discussion on the resolution did
not bring out clearly that should the
colored women take sides with the
strikers instead of with the employers
that they would be helped IL the mat
ter of work in case Of success Of the
strikers. However, when the chairman
called for vote the resolution was
adopted by a decided majority vote.
DR.. Reverdy G. Ransom, who was
scheduled to speak, sent letter Of re-
gret, owing to a previous engagement.
He raised pointedly the question as to
whether the strikers would give re-
turn, If successful, to the colored wOm-
en-, who now should give cooperation
