Despite the significance Of tho occa-
sion, Miss Jones was not at all nor

responsive instrument, obedient to her
will. and 1t was the Judgment of her
instructors that she could not ,ossib-
~ have appeared to better advantage,
nor given a greater degree of satisfac-

the close of her last number, Miss
Jones music master, Prof billiard,
enthusiastically placed his arm about
her and literally lifted her down from
the steps from the platform. She WAS

pletely filled the immense auditor
ium, packing the surrounding corri-
doris AID janling every inch of avail
able space. Many were unable to gain
admission. The recital is accounted
the best ever given at this splendid
institution, and the fact is all the
more noteworthy because Miss Jones
is the only representative Of the COL
ored people enrolled there this season.
She has won laurels, not only for her
self, but for all her people through
out the land.
Miss Jones was assisted by the Con-
servatory orchestra, which played SUI
perbly, and by Miss Alice MacPher-
son, violinist, and Miss Sarah May
bury, accompanist with the orchestra.
Miss Jones, numbers ran the gamut
of classic music, fully testing her abil-

composers. Her repertoire embraced

TRAMPLED THE FLAG
Riot in New York During Socialist
Demonstration.


Demonstration.
New York, May 2.-The stars and
stripes were torn down and trampled
under foot and a red flag substituted
during fierce fight ataMay-day meet
ing of the socialist party and afiilia-
ted unions in Union Square park, late
yesterday. That serious panic did
not ensue is believed to have been
due to the fact that thousands of
persons on the outskirts of the crowd
did not know what the trouble was.
Responsibility for the tearing down
of the flag is disclaimed by the SOC
ialists. Their representatives on the
platform appear to have done their
best to protect the national colors
The trouble started at the conclu-
sion OF a parade Of 5000 men and
women who gathered In Union Square
park for speech-making Red ban
ners, the emblems of socialism, al
ready adorned the speakers platform
and the band was playing the Mar
seillaise" when the stars and stripes
were carried TO the stand as the first
speaker was about to be introduced.
Instantly there was the widest ex-
element

up a cry from the crowd But those
on the platform held their ground
and some with cooler heads tried to
quiet the tumult that had broken out.
We don't recognize that flag, cried
n man in front as he tried to reach
the platform. Some of those on the
platform tried to protect the flag and
fist fight resulted in which a lone
ly policeman was the only officer
who figured His club knocked three
men down. Several men were tossed
bodily over the platform rail into the
crowd. Bloody faces were numerous.
The big American flag was finally
torn down and hurled to the ground
Miss Caroline Dexter. a member of
the socialist party, tall muscular
woman, elbowed her way to where
the fallen banner lay. Men like YOU

gathered up the flag She met no re.
sistance and carried the flag home
with her With nothing but red ban
ners to decorate the platform. the
meeting proceeded, but the program
as arranged by the socialist party had
to be given up and the speakers were
mostly from the ranks of the indus.

tion on Sept oath,
Although advocates of the change
have less than thirty days in which to

Informed as to what the change means
before going to the polls.
Opposition to the proposed change
thus far has been of the silent sort.
No open fight is being made, but some
of the present municipal officehold-
ers are secretly urging their friends
and supporters to vote against it, bas-
ing their appeals chiefly on the ground
that it will deprive them of their jobs,
and that it would be unjust to lop off
two years of the term for which they
were duly elected.
The commission government advo-
Gates answer this argument by saying
that change to the new system does
not necessarily mean the removal of
any office-holder save members of the
city council; that the commissioners,
whoever may be, will doubtless re-
tain all subordinates who have rem
dered efficient service, and those who
have already demonstrated their in
competency should be removed as
quickly as possible.

WALDO MAKES PUBLIC LIST

Charitable Institutions and Many

-Astor Estate Owns Two Houses.
by Associated Press.)

New York, Aug. 2S.-Searching
along the trail of police blackmail
that led to the murder of Gambler
Rosenthal the states attorney now
reports a form of social evil from
which colossal graft is collected. This
blackmail he says was obtained from
about a dozen houses in this city,
each of which paid from fifteen hun
dred to two thousand dollars a month
for police protection to inspectors In
whose districts they were situated.
The houses were extensively furnish
ed and decorated and only the pro-
prietor and a few servents lived in
them. Callers were shown a list of
names of girls who were called upon
to come to the house when wanted.
Opposite the names were the girls
ages, the lists in the hands Of the
district attorney show they ranged
from fifteen to eighteen years.
Waldo Made Public List of Property
Owners.
Police Commissioner Waldo made
public a list of places raided by the
police as gambling resorts during the
last year and the names of the own
ers of the property on which the re-
sorts were conducted. Among the
names mentioned are those of many
prominent in the financial, religious
and cnpial 1ifo Of tho oif
The commissioner turned the list
over to the district attorney, who win
use it as a basis of the proposed John
Doe proceedings before Justice Goff
next month, by which it is expected
to expose police corruption. Another
list containing the names of owners
of disorderly houses raided during
the same period, June 1, 1911, to Aug.
1, 1919, is being prepared by Com
missioner Waldo for the same pur-
pose.
Nearly four hundred places are
mentioned in the gambling list, which
with the statistics as to the raids
made upon them, cover one hundred
typewriter pages. The summoning
of many of these owners as witnesses
at the John Doe proceedings is un-
derstood to be part Of the plan Of the
district attorney to determine the
responsibility Of the owners in allow
ing their property to be rented for
gambling purposes, which is a mis-
demeanor.
Among the names of the owners
is that of Sailors Snug Harbor, a

DESPITE DISASTROUS SEASON
LEAGUE BALL is STILL TALKED

Jackson, Miss, Aug, 2S.-Despite
the fact that the season in the Cotton
States League which was brought to a
close this afternoon with the final
game between Greenwood and Colum-
bus has been unusually disastrous,
from the financial viewpoint, plans
are already on foot to re-organize for
next season.
One plan proposed is to form a
league of Jackson, Meridian, Laurel
and Hattiesburg, with possibly Colum-
bus and Greenwood added thereto, in
event the two last-named towns desire
to retain their franchises, which they
probably will, as both have stuck
gamely to the league this year, and
come nearer to breaking even than
either Jackson, Meridian, vicksburg
or Yazoo City.
In fact, there is sufficient number
of towns in Mississippi ranging from
5000 to $4,000 in population to form
two Class D. leagues of six teams each
but getting them together is the trou

Eighth, R. H. Henry, of Jackson,

w. A. Ellis, G. M. Beavers and
Guy Rencher together polled 1886
votes in the Fifth district, while
Wetherspoon rolled up 5240, giving
him majority over all of 2054 and
eliminating the necessity for a Sec

only the actual figures last night, and
take no account of estimates.
J. w. Golfers victory was easy,
his vote in Warren county being over

Kinds county was not sufficient to
make much impression on it.

on Barbarism.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Washington, Aug. 2S.-American
soldiers of the Tenth Regiment of
Infantry are to be landed in Mica
ragua within forty-eight hours. On
advises of conditions said to be so
serious as to justify keeping them
secret at Washington, President Taft
personally directed immediate move
ment of the Tenth Infantry now in
Panama to Nicaragua to protect
American lives and property. Nearly
a thousand additional marines are
now enroute to Nicaragua but can
not reach there for possibly a week.
Official dispatches pictured the stu
alton as being so acute that the i'm
mediate movement of large forces of
troops was necessary.
Allegations of conditions bordering
on barbarism and acts worse even
than those which took troops of the
united powers into China to quell
the Boxer uprising have been receiv-
ed by the State Department.
With forces now enroute the United
States will soon have more than
5000 marines and infantry in Tica-
ragua. The American troops be
expected to prevent the inte' ,tion
of cable and telegraph lines from
Managua to Corinto. General Ats
chul denies the charges of barbarous
actions on the part of the rebel
troops and declares intervention is
without warrant of law.

SINCERISTS TO SOLVE
COUNTRY'S ILLS

New York, Aug 2S.-The reason
why the country is so full of ills
of various kinds-temporal, spiritual,
political, financial, industrial, econo-
mic and so ad infinitum is because
of widespread "Insincerity." Charles
Edwin Ellis. former secretary, treas
urer and director of the American
Finance and Securities company has
resigned his position and is going to
devote his life to the work of the
Society of Sincerists which has just
been born. He will tour the West,
the South and Canada where he will
preach the doctrine of sincerity not
only between man and man, but for
man forward himself. If he finds a
large number of supporters for the
new movement, Mr.. Ellis will es-
tablish branches of the society
throughout the country.
On the other hand, if his call falls
on deaf ears, he will, none the less
daunted, seek to disseminate his
philosophers and theories through
publication or by public lectures. The
movement so far, is absolutely with
out financial support.

BILE. Some assurances have been re-
ceived from Greenville, Gulfport and
Natchez that they may apply for fran
chises next year, each of these towns
having been out of organized baseball
for several years.
While the season just closed has
been disastrous, and all plans for next
years organization consist largely Of
talk, the outlook may appear decidedly
brighter next spring when the sap
commences to rise, the flowers to
bloom, and the birds to sing. The
probability of Cotton States League
next year will at least form an absorb
ing topic for discussion by the Red
Hot Stove League during the winter
months.

league over the innumerable rocks
