MURDERS UNSOLVED
TEXAS CITIZENS EXERCISED
OVER WHOLESALE KILLING OF
NEGROES IN LONE STAR STATE
COMMITTEE OFFERS REWARD
-INTRUDER PROVES TO BE
WHITE MAN BLACkENED UP.

Austin, Textile negroes of Texas,
and in this city in particular, are
wrought up over the wholesale muir
Gus towns by what the press terms
as the "ax-man" or "ax-woman." The
latest crimes occurred in San Antonio,
where five members of family were
murdered, and in Hampstead, where
six met death by foul play. One Of
the intended victims at Hampstead
awakened by cut on the hand and
rolled out of and under the bed
screaming, frightening the culprits
away and saving her life and the lives
of her two children.
Every negro in Austin is aroused
and verious committees are being
formed. Anonymous red ak" let
ters have been received and turned
over to the postal authorities. DR..
l.. l.. Campbell is chairman of
committee composed of teachers
and prominent citizens which has Of
fered reward for the apprehension
of the human vultures.
The white press tries to lay stress
on a certain negro religious cult, but
the negroes believe it to be demons of
other races.
Some one tried to gain entrance to
white woman's home one night in a
nearby town and a negro youth of 18
years fired through the door, hitting
the intruder. BY the blood the author
tiles trailed him several miles to Tay-
lor, Tex, and found him to be white
man blackened. No arrests.
Mrs. John Roberts, who entered her
room Unexpectedly, was shot by her
husband, who took her to be an intru-
der. She was hit in the shoulder and.
hopes are expressed for her speedy
recovery.

TO ORGANIZE LAY MEMBERS.

ilberforce.-During the session OF
the A. M. e. general conference, which
will be held at Kansas City, President
w. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce
university will call together all the
lay members and form permanent
organization to do the work of the
church and discharge the duties OF the
mission to better advantage.
President Scarborough thinks that
there are many perplexing problems
aside from electing men to office that
both laymen and clergy will have to
wrestle with, that to do this work and
do it we'll they shall have to consider
long and wisely the needs of the con-
nection and the best measures to be
adopted whereby the interest of the
church may be best conserved.
He says 1t is the duty of the laymen
to express themselves In unmistakable
tones in regard to the many measures
coming before the general conference,
and especially as to the men who will
be elevated to the Episcopal bench, as
well as to the men who will be chosen
to fill other offices.

DIPLOMATIC COMPLIMENTS.

Francis l. Madero, president OF Mex
ico is small man and somewhat sen

Madero and his cabinet were photo
graphed. Abraham Gonzales, secre
tary of state, is very tall man and
stout. and he was required to stand
next to Madero when the picture was
taken.
Madero lifted his eyes to the top OF
the head of the great Gonzales, OBJ
served the difference in stature and
coughed Slightly. Then he said: 81
feel that my size will not show to ad
vantage unless we are seated"
Your Excellency," replied Don Alb
raham, ''if you could only stand on

COLORED WATERS
PLAN NATIONAL
CONFERENCE
Hotel Men from Every Sec
ton Will Probably Meet
This Summer.
SITUATION is ALARMING-HEAD
OF WATERS PROTECTIVE
LEAGUE SAYS SIMILAR cONDI-
tTiONS EXIST IN MANY OTHER
TlON.

New York.-Owing to the wholesale
discharge of colored walters and the
substitution of white help, a state of
affairs that is being viewed with alarm
by colored walters throughout the
United States, national conference
of colored walters will most likely be
held some time this summer, when the
situation will be discussed minutely
and plans adopted to bring about bet
ter conditions.
Since the publication a few weeks
ago that the colored hotel men of
New York were regarding seriously
the situation in New York city in
which 900 were put out of the hotels
and restaurants of Manhattan in 1911,
colored walters in various sections
have been corresponding with each
other relative to getting together for
the mutual good of all concerned.
The colored hotel men of New York
are heartily in favor of the holding of
a national conference this summer as
are the walters of Kansas City and
other western cities.
Referring to present conditions is
the following letter from S. C. Jor-
dan, president of the Waters Protec-
tive league in Kansas City, Mo-:
Having read the article regarding
the situation of the hotels in New
York city toward the negro waiter, l
beg to say that similar conditions are
spreading rapidly west, north and
south. We are endeavoring to estab-
lish National Negro Head Walters
and Side Walters congress, and with
cooperation of the Hotel Proprietors'
association, We hope to establish a
standard of service by which we can
classify the service, thus making a
more harmonious relation between the
proprietprs and servitors. We would
appreciate your encouragement of
our movement through your paper and
would be glad to establish an. agency
In New York"
The officers of the Walters Protec-
| tive league are: S. c. Jordan, presi-
dent; George w. Hail. corresponding
secretary; w. R. Garrett, treasurer;
Edward Hudson, chairman of benefit
fund; D. H. Collier, manager; l.. A.
Knox, attorney at law.

staple cotton annually and thousands
of tons of cotton seed.
Among the leading business houses
is the Farmers Cooperative Mercan-
tile company, occupying brick store
50x70 feet and carrying $4,000 worth
of stock. Several other stores carry
from $4,000 to $4,000 worth of stock.
The town now covers between 100 and
200 acres, and has a population OF
1000. Realty valuations approximate
100000; personal property, about
5000, 900; the value of church property,
$4,000, and a $4,000 brick church Is
in course of erection. The value of
school property is $4,000, owned by the
lie school, $1,000. A public library,
constructed of brick, is valued at
$4,000, $4,000 of which was contributed
by Andrew Carnegie. There is in ac-
tive course Of construction an ice plant
and a brick manufacturing plant.
MOUND BAYOU OIL MILL.
The pride of the community is the
Mound Bayou Oil mill, which is the d.
rect outgrowth of the National Busi-
ness league started in Boston about
twelve years ago by Booker T. Wash
ington. Mississippi negroes under the
leadership of Charles Banks, were
among the first to inaugurate a state
league. After considerable deliberation
extending over two years, they deter
mined on building an oil mill with
funds derived by the wide distribution
of stock in small denominations to
teach the power of combination.
The oil mill industry was selected
because negroes have long performed
practically all of the industrial and
mechanical work attached to the in
dustry. The company is duly incor-
porated, capitalized at 100000, $1,000
of the capital is paid up, over so per
cent. having been contributed by ne
groes of Mound Bayou. A plant has
been constructed ard equipped with
the most improved machinery pro-
nounced by competent critics equal to
any mill in the state. DR.. Booker T.
Washington will start the machinery
personally in October.
There is still $4,000 of unsold
stock, but in order to assure ample
finances to begin with, the managing
officers have determined on issuing
$40 900 in first mortgage bonds in de-
nominations of $500 to 81, 900 for the
following purposes: to purchase tanks,
betting and electrical plant, $5,000 to
pay off the entire indebtedness, $751;
600 which applies to machinery of the
best class that has already been re-
ceived and installed, and leave re-
serve of 100000 for operating. The
mill has a capacity of handling forty
tons of seed in twenty-four hours, and
is so designed that the output can be
readily doubled by adding two presses.

THE MANS PRAYER.

When all is still within these walls
And Thy sweet sleep through darkness
falls
On little hearts that trust in me,
However bitter toll may be,
For length of days, o Lordl on Thee
Ny spirit calls.

My hand and brain, but when night
falls
And leaves the questioning spirit free
To brood upon the days to be,
For time and strength, o Lord, on
Thee.
My spirit calls
