finish proved to be one that Will go

lishments for the race.
The following resolutions were

ings in Pennsylvania and Oklahoma.
"Whereas, we note with regret the
lawlessness of some of the citizens
of the state of Pennsylvania In COM
mitting mob violence upon another
citizen of that commonwealth, also
the lawlessness of some OF the citi-
zens of the state of Oklahoma in COM
mitting similar acts of violence upon

mt ourselves on record for all time 10
come as unalternably opposed to any
and all acts of lawlessness cimmltteo
by any citizen of this nation, put es-
pecially do we condemn said acts anu

forms among the members OF our race.
Resolved, further. that we are
heartily in favor of the strictest en-
forcements and most exacting execu-
ton of any and all of the criminal laws

different construction and interpreta-
tion upon the same laws when applied
to any other citizen than Negro.

reiterate declarations heretoforemade
that we will uphold and sustain the
law both of the respective states ana
of the nation and we will heartily sup
port those officials and executives

out regard to race, color or previous
condition of servitude, and in this COLI
nection do we especially commend the
stand taken by Governor Shafroth IN
preventing violators of the law from
disgracing this great commonwealth

helpless and defenseless citizens oil

heroic stand taken by Governor Lee

THE MAN FARTHEST DOWN
THE WOMEN WHO WORK
in EUROPE.
By Booker T. Washington.

While was in Vienna | went
out one Sunday evening to the
Prater, the great public park,
which seems to be a sort of COM
bination of Central Park In New
York and Coney Island. In this
park one may see all types of Aus
trian life, from the highest to the
lowest. Sunday seems however,
to be the day the common people
and the night L visited the place
there were, in addition to the or
dinary laboring people of the city
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
peasant people from the country
there. They were mostly young
men and women who had evident
ly come into the city for the Sun
day holiday. Beside the sober,
modern dress of the city crowds
these peasant women, with their
high boots, the bright-colored ker-
chiefs over their heads, and their
wide, haring, voluminous skirts
(sometning like those of female
circus-rider, only little longer
and not so gauzy), made STANCE
and picturesque appearance.
Meanwhile there was a great
flare of music of certain sort;
and multitude of catchpenny
shows. mountebanks, music halls,
theaters, merrv.go rounds and
dancing pavillions gave the place
the appearance of stupendous
country fair. l do not think that
1 ever saw anywhere, except at a
picnic or a barbecue among the
Negroes of the Southern States,
people who gave themselves up so
frankly and with snch entire zest
to the simple, ply steal sort of en-
ioymentl Everywhere there were
eating, drinking and dancing, but
nevertheless 1 saw no disorder,
very few people who seemed to be
the worse for drinking, and in no
instance did L see people who
showed, in the disorder Of their
dress or in the blotched appear
ance of their faces, the effects of
continued excesses such as one sees
in SO many parts of the London.
The people were, for the most
part, neatly and cleanly dressed,
each class of people seemed to
have its own place of amusement
and it's own code of manners, and
every one seemed to keep easily
and naturally within the restraints
which custom prescribed.
do not mean to say that L APP
prove of this way of spending the
Sabbath, | simply desire to point

Application has been made to
the directors of the Panama-Pacfic
International Exposition Company
by widely known Negroes, includ-
ing Booker T. Washington, Bishop
@. H. Phillips and Bishop 81. M.
Turner for permission to install
Negro department in the expo
sition of 1915. mbodied in the
application is request that the
department be officered and con-
trolled by Negroes under the su-
pervision of the officials of the
company. Instead of being local
in it's scope, as in the case of the
Atlanta and jamestown exposis
tions, it is suggested that the Me-
gro department of the San Fran
cisco exposition be international
in scope.

SOUTH SHORE
ROUTES THROUGH

As stated in THE TIMES several weeks
ago, the Chicago. Lake Shore & South
Bend Railway Co will be running its
interurban cars all of the way to Ran
dolph street by the goth of this month.
This will be a great convenience to
the people of Hammond, East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor for the reason that
1t will be the only railroad in this sec
ton of the country that will take its
passengers that far down town.
Most of the large department stores
OF the better class are located on the
north side of the elevated loop in Chi
cago and most of the terminals of the
eastern roads are on the south side.
This makes it necessary to ride across
the city on the street cars.
But with the installation of the down
town service this will all be changed

GOVERNMENT MEN
MAKE new SURVEYS
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Indiana Harbor. Ind, June l Gov
eminent men were out few days ago
from Chicago to make the surveys
necessary to the location of two light
houses which are soon to be erected in
the local harbor.
The party spent some time in the
harbor, in Matt Sternberg's launch,
and the preliminary steps toward the
erection of one of the lighthouses,
were taken.
The steel towers are to be built AT
the entrance OF the harbor. one Of
them to be erected near the end OF the
northwesterly pier, while the exact To-
cation of the other has not been decid-
ed upon. 1t will probably be set on
the Inland property near the canal
entrance The lighthouses will be set
in concrete foundations.
They will be equipped with brilliant
acetylene lights both front and back,
the lights to work automatically, com
ing on voluntarily at the approach O:
darkness and being extinguished
similarly with the first beams of day
The lights will fash out at any time
during the day. incase storm clouds
obscure the daylight, sufficiently Il
cause darkness.
| Vice President c. A. Westberg re-
| D. w Bkamer, commander of the
United states Navy in charge of the
18th lighthouse district, apprising that
work would be begun on the two light
houses in the very near future.

LOCATED IN A COTTAGE.
Sick Woman Who Prayed for Home
Is Made Happy.

In neat, clean cottage at 426 Branner
street, the little family of three is located
and every effort is being made to afford
them comfortable home and cheerful
surroundings. When the little sick mother
entered the new home yesterday, the
landlord handed her a receipt for the
first months rent. Kind neighbors had
scrubbed the floors, washed the windows,
painted the woodwork and made every
effort to make the new home as cheerful
as possible.
To be sure there were a few incon-
veniences in the new home last night.
When the little family left the upstairs
room on East Eighth avenue, they took
their trunks and little bedding. Not
piece of furniture did they own. 1t will
be several days, therefore, before every
necessity will be provided. From the
numerous offers of assistance, it was hard
to find just what the family must have
But an excellent start has been made
Several pieces of furniture are stiil need
ed, notably, a table, a few dishes would
be most acceptable. A rug was offered
the family earlier in the week, but had
not arrived at the home at noon today. If
some one has an extra rug, 1t would be
most acceptable. OF course it will be en-
tirely satisfactory if the rug is Slightly
worn.
When the family prepared to go to their
new home on Branner street, c. c. Boob
er, the transfer and storage man, came to
the rescue. He released the family's sew
Ing machine on which a loan had been
made. Mr.. Booher went further. He sent
moving van to gather some of the
| articles for the new home, which the
donors were unable to send. His work
was one of the kindly deeds of the day.
Wr. White who lives on the East side, took
! a day off and hauled a number of articles.
set the gas range which. had been given
the family by Samuel Freidberg and
helped make the little home comfortable
and pleasant. Then the ladies in the
neighborhood did their share toward help
ing the family receive fresh start. This
morning those same generous hearted
people were still on the job.
AS the little wife and mother sat in a
rocker and watched the women straighten
| things in the new house, tears sprang
| from her eyes.
I'VE just don't know what to say or
how to thank you," sobbed the little wo-
to take part in the activities. II just
didn't know people could be so kind. You
don't know how much it means to us"
Then as the $50 whistle blew at the
Santa F'e shops, the ladies prepared a
supper for the little family. The house

| put in place and the father, mother and
son were left to talk 1t over. AS years

where her health might improve and be
regained.
Persons who have not yet delivered their
kindly offers are urged to do SO at once.

icampaign. There is still a necessity for
