NEGRO DEAD AFTER RIOTS
Courts Work Overtime Follow
ing johnson Victory Arrests.

The aftermath Of the rioting due to the
victory Of Johnson over Jefries was one
man dead in this city. the negro popuIa-
ton on Barren Island terrified and intini-
dated regardless of consequences and po-
lice courts working overtime TO clear up
dockets in which the negro and Caucasian
figured as the assailed and the assailer.
George Crawford. a negro waiter. had
his head beaten in on Seventh avenue and
Soth street just before dawn The white
man who did the beating got away. Craw-
ford was taken TO the New York Hospital.
where he died not long after sunrise. The
police have no clew to his assailant-
Police reserves made periodical trips
across Jamaica Bay to Barren Island yes
terday and last night, each time on re-
ports of the bloodiest kind Of a riot. The
negroes were driven by the white popula-
ton into the huts they occupy, and the
champions Of Johnson. armed. dared the
white men to drive them any further.
That was the usual way the police found
matters On their last hurried trip they
made three arrests.
Mrs. Jeanette Chapman, q negro, was
arrested on a charge of theft made by a
former employer. who said that the woman
had stolen a silk dress. Mrs. Chapman
was found celebrating the Johnson victory,
and as she was wearing silk gown, she
was taken to the station and was held for
trial By Magistrate Steinert.
Five women of Johnson's race were ar
raigned in the West Side court for over
celebrating the victory. Magistrate Cornell
had other cases to dispose of, but each
| had its beginning in the victory or defeat
in Reno. The negro race, according to the
records of the courts, got the worst of the
encounters, whether IN the streets or in
doors.

HONOR DR.. WASHINGTON
Neuro Educator Well Received
in Delaware.

Dover. Del. July . (SpeciaD.-Booker l.
Washington, reached the climax of his two
DAYS tour among Delaware negroes yes
terday when he rode between applauding
throngs of citizens through the principal
streets of Dover behind brass band COM
posed of negro farmers. The Secretary of
State, William H. Smithers, from the
veranda of the Richardson Hotel, intro
duced him to the crowd 10 the greatest
man of his race and one of the greatest
men of any race.
Dr. Washington then preached the les
sons of thrift, sobriety and industry to the
blacks and justice and patience TO the
whites in their contact with his race
He has traversed the entire length of the
state and has brought together in at least
nine important towns the masses OF the
negroes and the leading whites, including
the officials of nearly every community.
At each place he gave the same advice to
his people: Let US be somebody and do
something" He did not forget to remind
his white hearers of the example they set
the negroes and that they should give them
a chance.
The most notable feature of the trip has
been the effect it has had on all the peo-
pie of Delaware, black and white alike,
Governor Pennewill introduced him at a
Sunday afternoon mass meeting in the
largest theatre of Wilmington. Many other
officials and prominent citizens have hon
ored him.
The methods employed by DR.. Washing
ton are no less interesting than the results
he has achieved for his race. He was
early informed Of the race situation in
every community, the shortcomings of the
l,>-T mol,
they labor.
Dr. Washington announced at the outset
that he would be very frank and plain
with both whites and blacks. He asked
one of his audiences whether he should
consider Delaware North or South, as there
was some question in his mind and he
ought to know. The audience was con-
vulsed with laughter by the ready wit OF
an old negro, who said, HAT and ha e..

BLEACHED FLOUR JURY OUT
Misbranding Charged in Federal
Prosecution.

Kansas City Mo, July 5.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson finished his instructions to the
jury in the bleached flour cases in the
Federal Court to-day, and the jury went
out tonight The jury will probably not
return a verdict before morning.
Judge Mcpherson in his charge to the
jury said that it was stated in the gov
ernment's petition that on April /, 1870 the
Lexington Mill and Elevator Company, OF
Lexington, Neb., shipped to B. c. Terry,
a grocer at Castle, Mo. 625 sacks of flour.
This flour was seized by the government.
It was charged that the -four had been
treated by the AIsop process of bleaching,
which consists of the generation by means
OF electricity of nitrogen peroxide gas.
Judge Mcpherson said that the govern
ment charged that this process adulterated
the flour because ntrites and nitrite react
ing material were mixed with the -four; be
cause the gluten was impaired in
jurousy to affect the bread making quail
ties OF the -four. and that the bleaching
concealed its inferiority.
The government charged that the flour
seized was inferior to flour made from first
quality hard wheat and that the AIsop
bleaching process gave it the appearance
of -four made from such wheat. 1t was
that it was labelled as a fancy, patent flour
when ii not patent flour.
Judge Mcpherson said that the defend
ants in their answer admitted that the -four
was bleached by the Alsop process, but
denied that it was adulterated or mis-
branded
Judge Mcpherson said that if the evil
dence showed that nitrites or nitric re
acting materials had been mixed with the
flour. the jury must find for the govern
ment.
If bleaching makes -four appear better
than il really is you must find for the gov
eminent said Judge Mcpherson.
Discussing the language of the pure food
statute, the judge said that the act did
not say ANY added poison but any
added poisonous ingredient constituted an
adulteration The word poisonous" con

FIRST TRIP BY MONORAIL
City Island Barlow Station Line
. Ready for Trial Thursday.

For the first time in the United States a
monorail train, constructed as a passenger
line, will make a trial trip on Thursday
from City Island to Barlow Station and
there connect with the Hudson River Rail-
road. In spite of the delays on account of
rain in the month of June, all is now in
readiness for the trip.
The construction of the car to be used
differs from that of the ordinary streetcar
in that it has no front or rear platform.
The doors are at the sides of the car.
there being TWO on each side. and the four
wheels are arranged tandem fashion. Above
the car are the guide rails. along which the
electric current is transmitted and TO
which the top of the car is connected by
the trucks. thereby avoiding swaying or os-
cillation.
The cars are more lightly constructed
than is the ordinary car. This is made pos
sible by the fact that the entire weight
bears a single rail The compact
shape also offers less resistance to the
wind than the car with a front and back
platform. The car. which will make its trip
Thursday from City Island to Barlow Sta
ton, a distance of about two miles. will
seat about forty persons. There will be no
formal opening, but just trial trip
for the officials of the company. The line
is to be extended to City Island Point,
making total distance of about three
miles.
The speed which the monorail ear can
make is estimated at about one hundred
miles an hour. but for the short trip Thurs
day it IS expected to go at a rate of about
eighty miles an hour. The electric power
used will be supplied by the temporary
power house in Pelham Park The COM
pany expects TO erect its own power house
in the near future.

the city, will have TO be either underground

of the light weight of the cars 10 put them

Ferry in less than five minutes
