Seven, sir. If you CANT wear

"Seven!" In my relief almost

that he thought had been drinking.

that was the explanation. This was
number seven's berth, that was his
soft hat. this his umbrella, his coat,
his bag. My rage turned to irritation
at myself.
The porter went to the next berth

up in white fury and put on the
clothes that had been left me. Then,
still raging, sat on the edge Of the

shoes. The porter, called to his du-

me, to offer assistance and to chuckle
at my discontinue. He stood by, out
wardly decorous, but with little irri-
tatins grins of amusement around his
mouth, when l finally emerged with
the red tie In my hand.
"Bet the owner of those clothes did

NO R|OT|NG IN
SPAIN REPORTED
ON FERRER DAY
Government Was Prepared to
Crush Without Mercy Any
Signs OF Coming Revolt.

MADRID. Oct 13-Today was the
first anniversary of the execution Of
Professor Francisco Ferrer. founder of
the Modern School at Barcelona. who
was convicted of having conspired
against the govern lnent and brought
about the rebellion in the summer of
1909
The day had been dreaded by the
authorities. as the Free Thinkers, So
cialists and Republicans had planned
Ferrer demonstrations that might
easily lead to boodshed. Up to early
afternoon no untoward, incident had
occurred
This was due, probably, to the firm
attitude taken by Premier Canalejas
and his ministry and the orders is
sued to General Weyler, captain-gen-
eral of Catalonia. to put down merel-
lessly any revolt
The government was plainly anxious
Throughout Spain troops We're held at
their barracks ready for instant serV-
Ice Every officer" and soldier on leave
had rejoined his command at daylight
The danger of rioting appeared great
est at Barcelona. where the governor
refused to authorize professions and
manifestations at Ferrer's tomb, Those
wishing to take part in such gather
ings were informed that If they visited
the cemetery to place flowers upon
the grave of the Republican leader
they must do so individually and not
in a body.
Keep Crowds Moving.
Even the assembling of small groups
was prohibited
The recent encouragement to Span
ish republicans found in the success or
the revolution in Portugal was source
of special concern, as there are rumors
that the outbreak at Lisbon was plan
ned originally for today and was to
have coincided with a Republican up
rising in Spain. What if any. reVolu-
tonary plans have been cherisher by
the Republicans is a matter of doubt
to the government which. however
early determined to take no chances
and prepared for the worst today.

DIDN'T CARE IF HOUSE
BURNED DOWN." SAYS TOT

Ten-year- old Mary German, of 100
Cortlandt street, Bellevi.le, is one of
the unhappiest children in the entire
State of New Jersey today she has
lost her dolly Madeline and her finely
decorated baby carriage, with which
she won a prize recently at a doll
parade.
Little disconsolate Mary can hardly
tell the story, but between her sobs
this morning it became apparent that
Dolly Madeline and the baby carriage
had been burned up in a fire at the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Timothy German.
fI put Madeline safely to bed in her
carriage last night and wheeled her
near the fireplace in the parlor. She
always sleeps there" sobhed little
Mary Il kissed her good night and
then fixed up all the tissue-paper
flowers that decorated her carriage, so
that she would be pleased when she
woke up this morning.
"Then the next thing l knew Made
line and my lovely carriage were gone,
burned up" and the Gimiputive Miss
German went off into fresh burst Of
! tears, as she pointed to the blackened
of the doll was left, the wax face hav-
ing melted entirely to pieces.
II wouldn't have cared if the whole
house had burned down" walled Mary,
IF only Madeline and my carriage had
| been saved"
1t all happened shortly after 5
! o'clock this morning. Mr.. German
started fire in the kitchen stove, the
iue of which connects with the one
running into the fireplace in the par
lor Sparks coming from the kitchen
stove fell down the parlor fiue and
landed on the tissue paper decorations
of the doll buggy. The finish of Made
! lire and the carriage was fast. and in
blaze of glory. A pile of ashes was
all that remained when little Mary
rushed into the parlor to the rescue.
The fire department was quickly on
the scene and extinguished the flames,
which had spread to the wall of the
fireplace. They could do nothing for
Mary's Madeline. Madeline was gone

badly hampered, but not wholly tied up
The arrested leaders were charged
with provoking siditious meetings and
leading in violence and the destruction
of property The government is con-
vinced that this move, together with
the summonlng to military service as
resedvists Of all the strikes, will break
the backbone of the strike, which has
been already weakened by the failure
of the men of the eastern road, the
Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean and
the Paris Orleans road to respond gen.
orally to the orders of the militant
chiefs of the national federation.

maintaining communication with points
from which food supplies were brought

but il is now said that Paris is no
longer in danger of famine.

Vivian NJ. Lewis was Just as upright
honorable and able as DR.. Wilson, and
he was more familiar with State mat
ters and public affairs than his OPP
ponent and with its needs and wants
Mr. Runyon predicted the election Of
Mr. Lewis if the Republicans did their
best by work and systematic organiza-
ton to elect him. He then eulogized
President Taft alt great length. Finally
he told what he would do in Congress
| if elected, which was that he would
do his best to serve his constituents
He might make mistakes, but he would
be inspired by honest motives and pur-
poses.

from Mr.. Griffin: The crime of stop

and the crime of going to the lawyers
representing both sides of the trouble
in the courts and seeking to find a
way to settle the matter out of the
courts. To both of the above crimes
| plead guilty. Notwithstanding 1 met
Mr. Griffin before l went to the home
of Rev Mr.. Broyles and asked
that might go home with him, to
which he answered that / might sleep
with him one night and that he would
charge me for board. as he would any
other man; but told me afterwards to
go to Rev. Broyles and then come to
him. This last | did; but was not re-
ceived by Mr.. Griffin, though | went to

truth is, | felt that | was imposing
upon Mr.. and Mrs. Broyles. but they.
who had sacrificed so many times in
the last II months. were truly willing
to make the sacrifice again. Yes, this
broad hearted man of God and Chris
tian woman, Rock Island moral mar
tyrs for Christianity, made it SO pleas
ant for me that l felt that truly was
in the house of prophet of God.
BroyIes stands Well.
/ also. find that the real, devout
Christians of the church and town are
for Mr.. Broyles, of whom his enemies
could only say he is. none other than
a Christian gentleman. God grant that
the time will soon come when this
cloud of confusion will disappear and
the sunshine of peace will again come
upon the scene in the Second Baptist
church of Rock Island.
Mr.. Griffin begged my pardon for
having told me not TO preach, and said
that others prompted his action He
also expressed the hope of meeting me
in heaven. He also stated that the
lawyers and police had taken the
church in hand to see that the church
got protection in going forward in the
discharge of its duties, as they, the
members now in power. see fit. God
grant that those who take part in
teaching my people may tell them the
truth as it is in Christ
Now. may the good people of Rock
Island, both white and colored, rise
up and stamp out this confusion in
some way best unto God.
