Because Educated.

Unless Lad Goes Back to Liberia
Her Husband Will Be Slain,
Says Mrs. Dingwall.

A case as strange rs that OF the
Javanese girl, who was released from
slavery In the fashionable Heights sec
ton Of Brooklyn, came to light yesterday,
when Mahogany Branch. a negro, hfteen
years old. was arraigned before Justice
Ryan, IN the Chlldrcn's Court, BROOKLYN
on the charge OF being lncorrigible. the
complaining witness WIS Mrs Lucy d
Dlngwall, OF No. POO Adams street, and
Il developed that the child's offence con-
sisted In his efforts 20 remain in America
To return 10 his own country, Liberia
would mean death 70 him, the boy SAID
Mrs Dingwall protested that II he did not
return there by December / her husband,
pr. Joseph Dingwall. who is a merchant,
trader and pharmacist in Liberia, would
be put TO death.
Mahogany belongs 10 a savage tribe who
dwell In the province Of Gramdhass. His
father, Budo, lives in little hut
with four wives each OF whom cost him
an ivory tusk and a bullock. Mahogany
is his favorlts son, and is In line to in
herit tho hut and the wives some day
Or Dingwall who was In liberia with
his wife, purchased the lads services
from Budo for three years, paying one
dozen 'oothbrushes. mirror and three
imitation coral necklaces.
A little more than year ago Mrs.
Dingwan decided that she wanted 10 re-
turn to her old home In Brooklyn. Budo
consented 10 let the boy go with her on
two conditions. one was that he should
= -
the other that he should not be educated.
II he was not returned Or. Dingwall was
10 be held accountable. This, his wife
says means that his life will be forfeited.
Further. II he returns educated the boy
declares he will be killed, as the local
gods are opposed 10 higher education.
Mrs Dingwal and Mahogany reached
Brooklyn IN September. 1911. Mahogany
was allowed 10 play In the streets, and
he picked up enough English TO make
friends with other child en-. He learned
that they went TO school, and he deter
mined that he wanted TO 90 TO school
Mrs Dlngwall was finally persuaded 20
let him try. and he made rapid progress
Not long ago Mrs. Dingwall told him
that he soon would have to go back TO
Africa. Mahogany objected on the ground
that he had been educated and would be
put to death Recently he went to school
and did not return. Mrs. Dingwall finally
found him at the home OF Mrs. Mary
Best No. i3 Lexington avenue. where he
had been taken In after telling tale Of
desertion. Mrs. Best had learned enough
OF the boys story TO object to letting
Mrs Dingwall have the child back
Then Mrs. Dingwall applied to Justice
Ryan for warrant. In court the boy
said he would rather go to jail and stay
In America than return to Liberia. The
case was adjourned until october g.

LONDON, Nov. lin regard to the
Governments defeat in the House OF
Commons to-day on an amendment to
the Irish home rule bill the ministerial
whips issued a statement to- night to the
effect that the amendment carried Is not
regarded by the Government as involv-
Ing any modification of their pro-
sramme. They said that the division
was clearly snap" division on a mo-
ton which had not even been put on
the order paper and was handed in
without notice. The occurrence de-
stroyed the resolution adopted during
the committee stage on November I by
majority OF 121. The statement re-
calls the fact that Premier Asquith an
nounced some time ago that he would
not be affected by snap" divisions.
The Right Hon. Joseph Albert Pease
and the Right Hon. Thomas McKnnon
Wood, both members of the Govern
ment. told meetings this evening thnt
snap" division need not be regarded
as serious. The Government they SAID
would take the deliberate opinion of
the House On the amendment to-mor,
row.
The defeat of the Government Is rec-
ognized al once as merely inficting fur
ther loss of prestige. which will be con.
tributory eventually to the fall of the
Government when that happens. 1t
was smart tactics and the amendment
dealt with that par, of the bill which
gets at many Liberals on weak spot.
But beyond everything else this point
must be taken into consideration. AT
the present moment when the British
Government must speak with a strong
and certain voice in the council of Eu-
rope which Is handling the situation In
the Near East no party would unduly
press a purely tactical victory on a do
mest.c question against the Government
of the day. The present opposition,
knowing It's own weakness in the mat
ter Of leadership. especially as far as
the country" Is concerned. has more
than once already refused to press a sit
uation which might give 1t the oppor-
tunity OF handling the reins and within
the present circumstances the Union
lists have genuine patriotic reason for
not attempting To weaken the voice OF
the British Government abroad and
they will remain satisfied with the sue
cess of the moment at home, trusting
that Il will bear fruit later on.
The question on which the division
was taken that resulted in the apparent
defeat OF the Administration was an
amendment offered by Sir Frederick
Banberry. Unionist member from the
City Of London. which provided that IN
case Ireland proved unable to support
Itself by local taxation and had to call
on the imperial Government for assist
ance. the amount be limited to $12,-

Italian Omrial statement Predicts

Special cable Bespatch to TaE Suv.
ROME. Nov. 1.-THE Government to-
day issued semi-official statement tn
the effect that despite the Austro-Servian
conflict regarding Albania and port
for Servia on the Adriatic Sea, a COM
plete accord exists among the Powers
on the proposition that the principle of
nationality should regulate the final set
tlement Of the Balkan situation. The
same applies to the Albanian question;
hence the unanimous and disinterested
efforts OF the Powers undoubtedly will
bring forth a satisfactory solution.
THE Sun correspondent hears that the
report to the effect that the Duke of the
Abruzzi is to be the King Of free Albania
is utterly unfounded. The future ruler
of Albania. which Is to be a new and indie
pendent country. will be neither an Aus
trian nor an Italian. Besides the Duke
OF the Abruzzi is not willing to be mixed
up in politics. and he told one of his friends
that he would rather be q petty officer
in the Italian navy than a King.
