RACES FORM PEACE PACT
BLACKS AND WHITES OF sLlDELL,

THERE SHALL BE NO RACE

DIFFERENCES SHALL BE SET
TIED BY ARBITRATION.

New Orleans.-Negroes and whites
of Slidell, La, lumber town directly
across Lake Pontchartrain from New
Orleans, have drawn up and signed a
formal treaty wherein it is agreed
that there never shall be a race war
in the town, but that all differences
between the races shall be submitted
to arbitration.
This unusual compact came as re-
suit of the attitude of the negroes to-
ward the murder of James Smith, a
policeman, at dance hall, The po-
liceman was killed by a negro or ne
groes A posse is in search of the
murderers and in it are a number of
black residents.
The negroes met at their Odd Eel

which close as follows
Resolved, That we, the colored citi-
zens of Slidell, do solemnly register
our disapproval of the murder and do
hereby tender our assistance to the
officials of Slidell in bringing to JUS
tice the culprit or culprits who per-
perated the atrocious crime. Be 1t

Resolved, That we extend to the be-

Resolved. further, that the thanks
of this town are rendered to the white
citizens for the able manner in which
peace and harmony between the
whites and blacks have been pre-
served.
The drawing of the treaty by
blacks and whites followed. The gist
of the treaty is that 1t is the sense
of residents, both white and negro,
that all conflicts and acts of violence
between blacks and whites are Sc
verely condemned, and that all fric-
ton arising between members of the
two races shall be submitted to a
committee for settlement"

equally divided. Its chief industry is
