Davenport, Feb. 25.-"My mission is
to point out to the people of this land
a great opportunity and warn them OF
a grave danger. Ignorance and neglect
of the former will bring inevitably up
on u.s. the latter" said John NJ. Bar
rett, chief of the Bureau of American
Republics at the annual banquet of the
Davenport Commercial Club.
The opportunity is that which is
offered to us to expand our foreign
trade among the 10000 600 of people
who live in the sister republics of the
American continent south of the Rio
Grande, in an area three times that
OF the United States.
The danger is that unless within
the next ten years we awake to and
grasp firmly this opportunity that we
will be in the second, third or fourth
place among the nations which are now
striving to pre-enlpt the commerce Of
this wonderful territory
I'VE spend millions of dollars trying
to ingratiate anita gonistic Europe and

sands for the favor of this great body
of strong active men of our southern
hemisphere, men with hopes. aspira-
tons and philosophy the same as ours,
living under constitutions patterned af-
ter that which our forefarhers builded
for US, earnest men trying to profit by
their mistakes and seeking honorable
places in the sisterhood of nations, with
a knowledge OF the great wealth of
their lands and yearning for our as
sistance ana sympathy in developing
them.

CANNING PLANT ASSURED.
Franklin County Farmers Agree to
Plant 1000 Acres Of Corn.

Special 70 lnes-RepUDHcan.
Hampton, Feb. 25.-It is announced
that the preliminaries are complete
for the establishment of a canning fac
tory in this city, and that work will
probably be begun on the building
early in the spring so as to be ready
to take care of the crop of 1910 corn.
Nearly 1000 acres Of land has been
contracted to be planted to sweet corn
for this concern, and it now looks as
tho Hampton would be represented
among those towns that are doing their
share to provide part Of the canned
goods so much now in demand.

a frontage of 1873 feet on Main street
and seventy-six feet on Jefferson
street. The principal entrance is to be
on Main street, but there is also to be
an entrance on Jefferson street There
will be about 135 rooms above the
ground floor and as the building will
not join any other buildings except on
the east side, the arrangement will be
such as to permit making practically
all of these outside rooms and nearly
all of them will be connected with
bath. The cost Of the building, exclu-
sive of the ground, will probably be
100000 to 100000. Present buildings
will be removed and everything built
entirely new from the ground up.

Hslon. The car was in charge of Mo-

preached the power house in front of
which is a very powerful flaming arc,
at rather high speed, Cushman, blinded
by the light was not able to see a
Des Moines bound freight which stood
just east of the power house. After
discovering the freight, which was
standing still, ii was too late for him
to stop the car and a collision re-
suited.
The front of the car was literally
caved in and several windows were
broken. The motorman escaped injury
by going inside the car after reversing
the power. Twenty-four passengers
were on the car, all Of whom escaped
injury

General his assistants become reasonably familiar

rallied at Olmsted Falls, 20 miles west

train was running as a double-header
and had a straight track. All the seven
cars were derailed. but were not
thrown more than a few inches from
the tracks. Neither locomotive was de-
rallied. Five hundred or 600 feet of
track was torn up. There were prob
ably eighty passengers aboard the
train, which was due in Chicago at
$50 a. M. A second t9Sin was made
up at Cleveland and set to the scene
Of the wreck. The passengers were
taken aboard this train and sent to
their destination.

MOB RULES DALLAS, TEXAS.
Takes Aged Colored Man from Court
and Put Him to Death.


Snatched from before the par of
justice, where his trial on the charge
of criminally ~asSaulting a 2-year-old
white child was about to begin, Allen
Brooks, an aged negro, was lynched
in Dallas, Texas, by a mob of 5000
men.
Brooks was seized in the courtroom
by fifteen leaders of the avenging mob
and was tossed through a window to
the main body, which waited like n
pack of ravening wolves for their
prey, in the street below. His broken
body was dragged through the streets
and he was hanged to the Elks' arch,
high above the heads of the %avenging
citizens. The mob was led by an old
negro. With it ali hardly a loud word
was spoken, not a shot was fired, and
above the dull murmurings Of the moi
could be heard the aged negro's pierre
ing shrieks for mercy.
After Brooks was hanged Dallas for
nearly three hours was in the hands OF
the mob. The jail was stormed and
death was threatened to three other
negroes, held on charges of murder.
They had been spirited away, how
ever, and after searching for them in
vain the mob dispersed.
The crime for which Brooks paid the
penalty was one of the most brutal in
the history of Dallas. His victim is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. j.
Buven.

Up ALL PHILADELPHIA

Street Car Men Takes Effect
at Midnight.
MILITIA IS HELD IN READINESS
Labor Leaders Assert 100, 900 Union
Workers Will Obey Order-Im-
partial Estimate 10000.

A general strike OF the unions in
sympathy with the striking street car
men went into effect in PHILADELPHIA
at midnight the other night. Stimuli
t~aneously it became known, despite
the denial of Gen. Clay, head of the
ponce force, that every national guard
regiment in the State of Pennsylvania
has received orders to be ready to
entrain for Philadelphia at an hours
notice.
The labor leaders are shouting ex-
u~ltantly that 100, 900 men have lined
up with the striking motormen and
conductors. The police ~canvassers
make the figure less han 81 900. An
impartial estimate is 10000, a little
more or a little less.
While the labor leaders are receiv-
ing moral support from their fellow
workmen in all parts of the country,
many associations of employers have
sent letters and kilograms to the Off
Gals of the Rapid Transit Company
and the city officials commencing the
stand taken and urging them to re-
main firm in their determination not
to submit to the strikers demand for
union recognition. The struggle of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany against the car mems union has
brOadened into a fight between en-
ployers who insist on their right to
run open shops and labor unionism.
From now on the issue is the life or
death of labor unionism in Philadel-
phia.
All policemen, firemen and specials
who have beer on duty since the strike
began received orders to remain at
their posts. The emergency automo-
biles in the city hall courtyard were
increased in number n measures tax
en- to send a force of men to any sec
ton of the city at a moments notice.
Many of these machines are driven by
their owners, wealthy men, who have
VOLUNTEERED for police duty and have
! been sworn in.
The outlook is ominous. even to the
| most chereful observers. So much bit
| terness has developed in the last few
| days that the people of Philadelphia
/ are preparing for any kind of trouble.
