S. S. CONVENTION
Baptist Sunday School Conyen.
ton Meets With Red
Hill Church on July
9th and 18th

Va bASt OeR
tist Sunday school convention WILDE
held this year on the Westrside, the
meeting last year having been held
at Trenton. The convention prom
ises to be very profitable one. The
committee on program has selected
a number of timely topics bearing
upon Sunday school work andShaye
placed some Of the ablest speak
ers in the county upon the program.
The convention has been set one
week later than was originally In
tended, on accountof the lateness of
the crops. By the 9th and 2sth
of July farmers will have praeti-
cally nothing to do and the candi-
dates will also be abroad in the land,
which means that;the meeting will
be largely attended by persons from
far and near. The Red Hill peo-
pie are also ideal hosts.

Did Not Expect Death.

The fact that Smith protested his in
nocence TO the last did not cause any
great surprise here, in view of the fact
that the majority of citizens are of the
conviction that Smith, even to the time
he sat in the chair. did not really believe
the law would take its course. Smiths
life has been juggled with on six differ
ent occasions.
The last time he was respited the
respite was handed to him within half
an -four before the time set for his exc
cution. At that time he had made what
he supposed would be his final state
ment, and. as today, he protested his In
nOcence as we'll as the innocence OF lle
three other negroes.
Now that Smith is no more the ques-
ton being asked is What effect will
Smiths final statement have on the cases
of the three other condemned negroes:
The opinion prevails among almost every
one that it will mean that the governor
will within the next few days respite all
10 life Imprisonment.
Chief OF Police Charles T. Goods said
this morning that Notwithstanding Smiths
last statement, he believed him guilty
of participating in the murder. Others
who have had hand in the case are
also of the opinion that Smith took
more active part in the murder than ne
claimed to have done in his first state
ment.
Walter F. Schultz a Chicago artist, was
slain on the outskirts of the city March
g. 1909 His throat was hacked, there be-
ing several stab wounds on the left side.
The man had been robbed and practically
all his money taken except several eX-
press orders for 500 each and his watch.
There seemed to be but little hope of ever
experimenting the guilty parties. March
II Henry Smith, after having made a
statement to negro woman that he
knocked a white man on the head, was
arrested March IA he broke down and
told a story duplicating Johnson, Pines
and Dorsey.

D|SMAy IS CREATED
Treasury Ruling Causes Con-
sternation in Naval Circles.
OLD CUSTOM DISALLOWED
Officers Must Pay Their Own Travel
ing Expenses When Going Home
on Leave of Absence.

The Treasury Department has made d
in naval circles. 1t is that the govern
ment has no right to pay naval officers
or attaches mileage when they come home
on leave OF absence. 1t is held that such
orders are not for the good of the serv-
ice" but purely a personal matter with
the officers, whose travelling expenses
must be borne by themselves.
What is even more serious from the
naval point of view is the construction
that this ruling is retroactive and that
all officers who have received such mile
age in the past five years must refund the
amount so received to the government.
Remedy Proposed.
While protesting against the ruling the
Navy Department takes the view that it
can be overcome by the issue of another
order. The department may order man
home on waiting orders and he will be
entitled 10 the mileage. That can be fol-
owed with another order granting him
leave He will be entitled to his mileage
under the first order. in accordance with
the ruling of the Treasury Department.
and at the same time will get his leave
under the second order. III that way it
is said, the ruling can be gotten round
for the future. 1t is asserted that an APP
peal from the auditors ruling will be
made to the Court of Claims and to Con-

The Poindexter Meeting

Congressman Poindexter, candi-
date for senator, spoke at Odd Eel
lows hall Saturday evening to an
audience which would have been
much larger but for a misunder-
standing as to the time of the meet
ing. His address was temperate
and he made a very good impression.
Senator Blair presided and created
quite a sensation by denouncing in
vigorous language the conduct of
the recent Tacoma convention and
the action there of Hon.John S. Nc
Millin, Of Roche Harbor, in casting
the vote of the San Juan delegation
without authority, according to the
senator.
