FAMOUS NEGRO IN TROUBLE
Booker T. Washington Has Unpleasant
Experience in New York.

After a scuff1e in New York city
in a hallway at 111a West Sitty-
Third street and long chase up Cen
trail Park, Booker T. Washington was
brought into the West Sixty-Fifth
street police station by patrolman.
Albert Ulrich, a carpenter, was ar
rested on Washington's complaint
charged with assault. Ulrich told the
police that he had found Washington
peering through keyhole in an apart
ment at that address. Washington
had two or three scalp wounds and
was taken to Flower hospital for treat
ment.
At the police station Mr.. Washing
ton told Lieut.. Quinn who was on the
desk that he had peen in town since
Saturday. He said he received tele-
gram from the auditor of the Tuske-
gee Institute, D. E. Smith, asking him
to go to the home of Smiths cousin,
also named Smith, at 111a West Six
ty-Third street.
He said that in the evening he first
went to church and got to the Sixty
Third street address about 9:15 p m.
He said that he looked at the names
on the bells in the vestibule of II ",
which is an apartment house, and was
unable to find any one named Smith.
He said that he may have stayed
in front of the apartment for few

eral times to look for Smith. Then
he said that Ulrich ran out of the
apartment house vestibule and came
at him with a club.
Mr.. Washington said he ran east to
Central Park west and then ran north
for a block on the park side of the
street with Ulrich close behind behind
beating him. He positively identified
Ulrich as the man who assaulted him

The Retcrt LEGAL.

Sometimes the law seems UNJUST
for the reason that it isn't cOmpre-
hended," said judge. Take the case
of the woman prisoner before Sir Ed
ward Coke. This woman appeared In
court with her hat on. The judge said
sternly:
"a woman may be covered in
church. but not when arraigned in a
court of justice
"To this the woman replied:
"It seems singular that l may wear
my hat i'll the presence of God, but
not in the presence Of man.
"And she would appear, in her legal
ignorance, to have got the better of
the argument until Sir Edward Coke
retOrted:
cit isn't singular at ALL Man, with
his weak intellect, cannot discover Sc
crets known to God, and therefore in
investigating truth the court must see
all obstacles put aside. Accordingly
it is fitting that the prisoners hat DE
removed and with it the shadow that
it casts on her face"

TROOPS ARE CALLED
OUT To AWE MINERS
Bi0Odsk..d Feared at Gillespie
and BenId, III.

Bloodshed is feared at Gillespie and
Bend, ILL.,, where several companies
of state militia have arrived to stop
the rioting among armed foreign mine
strikers.
More than 1000 miners, employed
at the mines of the Superior Coal
company and the Northwestern Rail-
road company, were engaged in riot
ing, fighting one another.
When the state soldiers arrived the
rioters at Benld fed toward nearby
mining camps. Most of them were
armed AS they left Benld they were
beating drums, shouting, shooting and
bidding defiance to the state.
1t was said the soldiers would be
sent out in an effort to disarm them
and restore order. Such a program
would lead to serious results undoubt-
eddy
Benld was quiet when the troops ar
rived early in the day. The troops
from Springfield were first on the
ground These were followed by the
militia from Danville.
When the troops were called out
more than half the colony of 1000
foreign miners, principally Italians,
were fighting among themselves, fol-
lowing several days of hard drinking,
begun when they quit work in the
mines of the Superior Coal company
at Benld, three miles south of Giles
pie
Deputy Sheriff Karmiller and eight
deputies, who went to Benld to pro-
tect a shift Of miners who sought to
work, encountered 300 miners armed
with shotguns, and were obliged to
return to Carlinville
The deputies found the situation
desperate. Sheriff Etter, finding he
could muster no forces adequate to
cope with the miners, went to Spring
field and personally requested that a
troop of national guardsmen be dis
patched to the mining town.

Ed AT CHICAGO.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 5.--An of the var
ious problems pertaining to irrigation.
drainage and forestry are to be ex-
haustively discussed by experts at the
nineteenth National Irrigation Con-
gress, which assembled in Chicago to-
day for a four days session. The ac-
tivities of the congress originally were
confined largely to the western sec
tion of the United States, but in re-
cent years the scope of the organiza-
tion has been greatly broadened No
better evidence of the Importance with
which the world now regards the sub
ject of irrigation could be cited than
the fact that seventeen foreign coun-
tries have deemed il worth while TO
have representation at the present
congress. Governors Of states. several
members of Congress and officials in
charge of Federal and state irrigation
and reclamation projects are i'm at
tendance also the representatives OF

STATE CASE is LOW.
Only s9,4o4.so In Vault But $32e,71e.42
Is Balance.

Lansing. Mich, Dec 5.-According
to the reports of state Treasurer Al
bert t. Sleeper just issued. the state
of Michigan has cash amounting to
SO, ,4O4.SO in it's vault
This appearance of poverty is mis-
leading, however, because the cash
balance i'm funds and securities is
$326,719.42.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year
on July 1. the receipts in the specific
tax fund amounted to $242 1851, while
the disbursements in this fund were
$199.O25.39, leaving a balance of $43.-
0SO.22.
The lowest balance Of any fund is
the university interest fund which is
only $1S.46. Interest funds, however,
never run very high. at least, in con-
nection with educational institutions,
the normal school interest fund being
little more than "a thousand dollars,
and that of the primary school inter-
est fund a little more than four thou
sand dollars. The highest balance in
any of the funds is found in the gem
eral fund which is s135.1S0.
State finances are lowest i'm Deem
ber of eacn year. They will brighten
up materially after Jan. 1, when the
tax money will begin rolling in.
