Representative Harry Maynard OF
Virginia tells the story of how a re-
ligious old negro in his district put a
stop to the exercise of Christian char
ity in the congregation of which he
was a member. 1t seems that it was
a practise in the church to excom-

who had been guilty of blood fight"
that is, any man who had attacked
another with a pistol or razor.

by the congregation. This went on

1t was when boy who belonged to neither

reunions that Capt. Bill Mcdonald and his

He set out at once for the home Of District
Judge Kennon, to whom he had been ordered
to report After the exchange Of greetings.
Mcdonald said:

They set out together. The courthouse in
Columbus stands in the middle of big square,
with street each of its four sides. On
corner Of the square was gathered the
Reece faction and near another corner the
Townsend crowd had assembled. Both were
fully armed. They were making no active
demonstrations as yet but were evidently or.

There was movement in the Townsend

SEEKS PARDON FOR
IMPRISONED VETERAN

REDONDO BEACH, June 27.-Wil-
liam Git, a business man of Manila,
has sent to fifty members of Congress
copies of an affidavit by which he
hopes to obtain a pardon for John
Flemister, a Spanish War Veteran,
now serving a twoyear term in an is
land prison for what is termed grave
resistance and disobedience to an
agent of authority" Git arrived too
late to launch his campaign during the
late session of Congress, but hopes to
interest President Taft in the case.
According to the affidavit, Flemister
resisted Filipino policeman who tried
to bar him from reserved section of
the grandstand at the Manila race
track. He was fined 5000 and sentenced
to serve four months in prison, and
when he appealed to the Supreme
Court of the islands the tribunal in
creased both fine and imprisonment
The Supreme Court of the United
States refused to review the case on
the ground that the appeal papers
were defective GIFTS affidavit alleges
inhuman treatment of Flemister by his
Filipino jailers.
