CHOLERA RACES
In RUSSIA.
One Hundred Thousand Cases
Reported in the Rural
Regions
ST. PETERSBURG IN THE
GRIP OF THE SCOURGE

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug, 9.-The
growth of the cholera scourge in Rus
sia within the last few days, owing to
a spell of unusually hot weather. has
been so alarming that the government
is at last awake to the fact that a
national calamity confronts it.
Factories are shutting down every
where, mines are temporarily closed
railroads are hampered and the peas
antry so affrighted that unharvested
crops are rOtting i'm the fields.
In rural Russia alone there are to-
day approximately 100000 cases Of
such a malignant type that nearly
fifty per cent. are proving fatal. In
the cities the conditions are equally
appalling.
1000 Cases in Hospitals.
St. Petersburg hospitals contain
1000 cases and there are probably as
many more cases I'm private houses,
owing to the health department recOg-
nized competence in discovering and
isOlating cases.
,
districts the people are fleeing from
their homes and thereby spreading the
disease broadcast The deaths in
some localities are so heavy that rot
ting bodies are found I'm fields and by
the roadside. Many of the bodies are
still clothed. indicating that the vic
tins died after the briefest illness and
probably without medical attention.
The ignorance of the peasants and
their belief that the nurses who go
among them Intentionally scatter the
germs of the disease make the work
of caring for the victims extremely
difficult.
The government is doing everything
possible to check the disease. but It
has got such a start that II is admit
ted that it will have TO run a terrible
course before cold weather Will even

ASK NEGROES
TO PROTEST
Fiery Resolutions Adopted at
a Largely Attended Meet
ing in Washington
RACE WAR IN TEXAS
CAUSE OF THE ACTION

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Armed with
fiery resolutions adopted at an excit-
ing mass meeting, a committee of
prominent negroes OF this city to-day
began work on a plan to induce all
the negroes of the United States to
join in a protest against lynching and
race riots in the South and the demand
for protection and equal rights in all
parts of the country.
Texas was denounced; the whole
South was arraigned; the Supreme
Court of the United States was in
Weighed against and the newspapers
of the country were attacked, amid
scenes that at times bordered on a
riot
The race war at Palestine, Texas,
was the chief cause of the protest [;
recent lynchings in Florida and the
attitude of the white people and the
press following the victory of Jack
Johnson at Reno were among the mat
ters most prominently mentioned. No
such meeting was ever held in Wash
ingtOn before, and it is looked upon
here as most serious proposition.
Among the negroes present were
federal Office holders, many of whom
outrank white men in the service and
some of whom have white women as
their subordinates. Several of the most
/ prominent speakers were negro
preachers. Negro lawyers and other
prominent representatives of the race
/ took an active part
] Cheered Speakers Wildly.
The meeting was held in the Met
| ropOlitan Baptist Church, which was
! crowded to the doors The speakers
were cheered wildly and each orator
/ shouted his denounciation, some OF
them actually screaming in their ex-
/ citement.
II. A. Clarke, a negro, one of the
most prominent speakers, said:
The South has again made hersel
conspicuous. by the recent lynching o
innocent and defenseless negroes, ac
cording to report of Sheriff Black, o
Anderson county, in the neighborhoo
of Palestine, Texas. In violation Q
the laws of God and man. she ha
been the principal in three of tn
blackest epOchs IN the worlds histor.
namely: the epoch of slavery and r'
bellion. the period of ku KluXism an
ballot-box stufing. and the era {
lynching. disfranchisement and Jill
Crowism."
Negroes Should Get Together.
Rev. /. n. Ross. of the colored Met
ropOlitan Church, said:
God wants the negroes to get to
gether and take care of themselve.
There are 100000 negroes in Wash
ington and they are told by the whit
people to run to God with everything
They are taught to be afraid of them
selves. They won't strike out 70
themselves. If the Supreme Court o
the United States had put down rae
rioting and bent all its efforts to stop
ping mob violence. this Texas murde
would never have occurred. The whit
preachers should condemn this mo
violence in Texas as vigorously as the
did the Jeffries-JohnsOn prize fight
The newspapers, too, are strangel,
silent on the subject. though they gav'
enough space to the Jefigies-Johnso
prize fight"
other speakers eXhOrted the negroe
throughout the country to use the bal
lot as their most effective weapon, an
join i'm a nationwide movement. Res
olutions to this effect were adopted.
