SOLVING NEGRO PROBLEM
Under Conditions, the Matter Seemed
Comparatively Easy Of
Arrangement.

The central police station was over
crowded one day last week. Officers
were wondering what they would do
should another arrest be made, when
the door opened and sleepy-looking,
blue eyed foreigner drifted in with a
most detected "Goot efning, MEMS"
The officers nodded their greetings
to the stranger, who then asked: Can
l did some sleepings here? l yust
came from Chicago and am start to
work tomorrow"

is bunk which is already occupied
by colored man. You can share

scratched his head and said:

dark, and besides l am tired and want
sleep. "-Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Couldn't See the Resemblance.

They have been joking Assistant
Treasurer James A. Matthews of the
Guardian bank, on his resemblance to
President Taft, and Mr.. Mathews has
steadily refused to be annoyed there
by. So the jokers subsidized and the
Joke died a natural death.
Until the other night, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Mathews dined together with
Mr., and Mrs. Frank Harmon and their
little daughter, when the Taft resem-
blance was revived. Turning to young
Miss Harmon, Mr.. Mathews asked
whether she, too, thought he looked
like the president.
Dorothy studied long and earnestly.
Then she answered.:
mot in the face, Uncle Jim."-

AUTOMOBILES MUST SLOW

Mr.. Kennedy was injured while at
tempting to board a street car. is
only another instance OF the danger
that turks at the street crossings IN
our city. We know and see the evil
and the remedy. that OF compelling
every automobile and other vehicles
OF traffic to slow down at the cross
ings. should be applied at once. This
Is especially true OF Main street
which is more congested than other
sections OF Durham, but an ordinance
enacted should be made to apply 70
every part OF the city. and then the
officers should see that such a law
was enforced. Many narrow escapes
by persons stepping from street carr
have occurred during the past week
and unless action is taken at once
looking to a better and safer conji
tion for pedestrians, someone Is like

the destruction. but this has no bear
ing upon the absorbing question. the
primary cause of the explosion.
The court of inquiry in 1898
found, from the facts gathered az
that time that there had been two
distinct explosions, the first external
and then judged from submarine
mines, the other internal and stated
to have been caused by the first ex
plosion. The explosion was in tbs
forward magazines and DESTROYED th'
ship. There have been many VIII,
differed from the court Of inquiry
believing that there never was an,
external explosion and thus the rails

not there was a nexternal explosion
