STOLEN VA[UAb[ES
FOUND
AT THE HOME OF E.
WAGNER RESPONSIBLE FOR
THEFT OF MONEY AND JEW
ELRY SOME WEEKS AGO.

The matter of the theft of jewelry
and money which was reported at
the E. Wagner home some few weeks
ago was solved Saturday night by
Mr.. Wagner with the assistance of
the local police The house did not
have the appearance of being bur-
glarized but for some time it re-
manned one of the unsolved prob
lens. The crime, however, was final
ly fixed on a domestic employed in
the Wagner home Last week she
was sent from the house up to the
Wagner ranch to assist in picking
apricots. Before she left she gave
evidence of having something on her
mind that worried her, and while she
was up to the ranch Mrs Wagner
opened the girls trunk and found
the jewelry slowed away in various
receptacles. The gold watch and
chain were sewed into the band
around big hat which the girl
wore. The rings, breast pins, ear
rings and other jewelry was fastened
in stockings and shirt waists and Sc
curely hid, as the girl thought. She
was brought down from the ranch
yesterday and confronted by Mrs.
Wagner with the evidence Of her
guilt. She cried and plead for mercy
and the result is that the Wagners
will not prosecute her but sent her
back to Seattle on No. / last night.
She returned the $32 in cash stolen.
The local police have put in con-
time In the solution of this
crime and Mr.. Wagner feels very
we'll satisfied with their work.

PRESIDENT TOPPER
feet TAX

Washington, July 12.-President
Taft and the lawyers of his cabinet
have undertaken to save the tariff
conferees from haggling over the
corporation tax amendment. 1t is
conceded that the measure as passed
by the senate must be redrafted In
order to remove constitutional objec-
tions and to meet views of the ad-
ministration. The president told the
leaders of the senate and house that
as the administration will be charged
with responsibility Of collecting the
tax and defending the act If assailed
in the courts the administration
should be permitted to perfect the
measure. If the corporation tax Is
changed by alterations it will prob
ably be confined to the rate of tax
imposed on net earnings which may
be cut in half. The president is i'm
pressed by arguments of states that
they should not be disturbed In their
use of the inheritance tax as a means
of raising revenues, although his be-
lief in the principle is not abated. 1t
is stated, however, that he does not
think that federal and state govern.
ments should both resore to this
means of raising revenues.

NET T|GHIENS FOR
HORSE THIEVES
SEVEN COUNTY SHERIFFS no
MEET AT PASCO FOR THE PUR-
POSE OF FORMULATING PLANS
TO BREAK UP COMBINE.

Colfax, July 12.-With the arrest
Friday at Ephrata of Press Connors,
a prominent horseman of Grant coun-
ty, and the taking into custody here
yesterday of Ralph Carter, of Gar
field, by Deputy Sheriff Cole, 1t
seems that the officers of eastern
Washington are Tightening the net
around the gang of alleged horse
thieves that is said to have been liv-
ing on the herds of horsemen in the
central part of the state for the last
decade.
According to both the sheriffs Of
fee here and Henry Gable, of Eagle
Lake, Franklin county, who is chiefly
instrumental in bringing matters to
a crisis, the authorities now have
sufficient evidence to warrant insti-
tuting action against other members
Of the gang, said TO be scattered
through the country from the Col
umbia river to the Canadian line.
Among them it is claimed there are
some of the most prominent horse
men in the northwest.
It is learned unoff1cially that the
sheriffs of Whitman, Grant, Frank
lin, Adams, Douglas, Yakima and
Lincoln counties, in all of which
the gang is said to have oper-
ated, will hold a meeting in Pasco
in a few days to formulate plans for
a determined campaign against the
rustlers, and it is asserted that or
ders have already gone out from
some of the counties for the capture
of part of them, dead or alive.
The men now in the tolls, par
ticularly Connors and the Montana
Kid" have been under surveillance
for several years.

or this book in every Negro home and
into the hands of every school boy and
girl. 1t is confidentially expected by
the editors that this book will be
adopted in the schools of the various
States as text book, and certainly
nothing fairer or better could be done
to uplift the people.
We commend this book most heartily
to the reading public and urge that
they purchase it in large numbers, for
only by this means can the publishers
find result for their painstaking and
ar1uous labors of love for the good of
the race. 1t is a complete history of
the race from it's origin to the present
time and deals with every possible
phase of the Negro question from every
point of view. 1t shows his remarkable
progress along social, economic and in
dustrial lines his accumulation of
property, his business enterprises, his
schools and colleges, all backed up by
statistics obtained from the most relia-
Ole sources. 1t is absolutely astounding
TO see what has already been accom-
pllshed, and the dullest and most pess-
lmlstlc soul must receive inspiration
from reading this splendid volume.

A LONG FELT WANT NOW SUP
Piled.

Volumes have been written, orators
have exhausted their store of language
and newspapers have written long edi-
torials, endeavoring to point out a way
that would lead to real success for the
Negro of this country. 1t has been said
that the Negro has no pride in himself,
and that race without pride can
never make real success. This is true;
and yet the foundation of pride must
always be a knowledge of ones his
tory. When the Negro knows himself,
he will be proud of himself, AMI having
had his pride once aroused, success is
fully assured. We find no hesitancy in
saying that nothing has been done
since emancipation that has aroused
the Negroes of this country to a sense
of their own Importance, or injected
stronger hope into the hearts of his
friends, as the great Negro exhibit at
the Jamestown Exposition, that was
conceived in the mind of Col. Giles B.
Jackson, and carried to a most remark
able and successful termination. Sen
ators governors, diplomats, representa-
tives and the president himself, were
loud in their praise. Col Jackson, not
content with this achievement. believ-
ing as he does that thousands upon
thousands of our people were unable
by reason of the shortness of time and
the stringency of the money market, to
see this great exhibition, he has de-
cided to put this in permanent form
He has called to his aid the we'll known
D. Webster Davis of literary fame, and
together they have written "The In
dustrial History of the Negro Race of
the United States" as cleaned from the
great Negro exhibit at the jamestown
Exposition. This book is destined to
be of incalcuable benefit to the race,
placing, as it were, the Negro exhibit
into every home by means of numerous
cuts and illustrations. The reading
matter is not only fascinating and en-
PERTAINING, but instructive and reliable.
The price is merely nominal ($1.00,
$3.50 and $2.50), and it seems to us as
a matter of race pride that the news
papers of this country should do all in
their power to encourage the placing
