Light on Race Issue.
New facts bearing on the race issue
came to light today. From investigation
along the right of way of the railroad it
was learned that most of the reported in
stances of throwing stones at trains were
pure fabrications. The danger from such
missiles thrown with malicious intent was
neers refused to take out their trains
thereby tying up the entire system.
Eyewitnesses at the stopping places of
the railroad during the first days of the
strike saw that instead of stone throwing.
crowds of men from rural districts gath
cred around the engines, many of them
personal friends of the engineers, and
pleaded with them not to force a race
issue by continuing to run trains on which
haI hy
groes. The engineers were given to un-
derstand that it might be very dangerous
to continue such runs.
1t was learned authoritatively that the
strikers are willing to take out engines
drawing the mails if requested to do So
They have reserved the right, however,
to say whether they will carry passengers
at tthe same time.
Another heavy blow was dealt today to
automobile transportation that has been
i'm operation in the territory where rail-
road service has ceased for nearly four
days. Pouring rains stalled many of the
automobiles and long wagon trains that
have been transporting food and other
necessities from town to town.
Traffic Is Paralyzed.
AUGUSTA. Ga. May 26.-The strike
situation is unchanged here. There have
been no attempts to operate trains on the
Georgia railroad today. and all traffic On
that line is completely tied up Auto
mobiles and wagons used by nearby
towns to obtain supplies were seriously
interfered with today by rain. Mail is
being sent to some places in private con-
veyances. but no regular service has been
established. The postal authorities are
taking advantage of every opportunity to

Goldfeld, Nevada, May 1O.-Two
diamond earrings, estimated to be
worth 1928 each, were found in dish
of succotash by Mr.. and Mrs. Ray

beans in cans were bought of local
store some months ago at a bargain
sale. On Thursday a can of string
beans and a can of corn were made into
succotash and served. Mr.. Robinson
bit into stone, took it from his mouth
and found it to be diamond. At the
same time another member Of the ia
mily chewed upon a gold mounting.
The dinner was broken up and the
family began panning the succotash for
more diamonds, and the mate to the
first stone was found
