AT THE MERCY. OF ALIENS.

Organized labor has as much to
fear from the maFshaling of I'M
skilled workers under INSCRIPTIONS
leadership as the employing class,
the business community, or any
other orderly element of society.
What was remarked at Lawrence,
where the Industrial Workers and
the textile unions fought for ST.
pfemacy in directing tie strike, finds
repetition in the anthracite disturb
ances and at other points where the
ignorant and laWless foreign-born
labor is largely employed. When it
is understood that one Of the fore
most objects Of the Industrial Work
ers is to accomplish tie downfall OF
skilled labor unioniGm and the in
clusion Of the disorganized member
ship into the new and more radical
organization, the cause OF friction
needs no explanation
At Wilkes-3arre, where the tao
ties OF the Industrial Workers are di-
rected toward preventing a settle
E1ent, and at the same time shaking
the allegiance Of the union miners,
the chiefs Of the latter organization
are filed with uneasiness lest their
counsel be ignored and the report CT
the subcommittee on ending the
strike rejected. Such a turn of af-
fairs would bring the rival leader
ship to the fore and precipitate the
disruption of the present organiza-

ton. The mine managers say the
new movement threatens labor more
than it does capital But capital is
poorly informed as to the platform
Of the Industrial Workers, else their
apprehensions would be even greater
than those of the Federation OF
Labor. The one intolerable section
of the radical platform is that which
declares that all peace, so long as
the wage system lasts, is but an
armed truce, and that at any favor
able opportunity the struggle will be
renewed. Contracts with employers
are not allowed, and strife is the
WatchWord until employers are
forced out CT business and their
property taken over by the indus
trials. Before tie advent Of this an
archist millennium, however, and
perhaps before organized skilled
labor has saccumbed to undesirable
rivalry, the world OF peace and order
shall have stepped il and restored
It's status quo. But would it not be
better to begin at once, seeing that
the work is cut out for us?-Ex-

Col. Andrew Cowan then arose and
recalled the early days Of the Civil
war, referred to the differences be-
tween the North and South, spoke OF
MS boyhood days in Madison coutny,
New York, and of his chums who, te-
gether with himself, left the schoa7
room and answered the call to fight
for what they believed to be right.
lie then introduced Gen. Miles, who,
ne said, was present and heard the
expression Of Gen. Grant, referred to
by Hon. Haines. The audience arose
with Gen. Miles and greeted him
With tremendous applause.
Tie General paid his respects to
Col. CoWan, who, he said, won dis

py the tenacity with which he fought.
The Colonel arose VIXEN saluted by
the speaker. General Miles then re-
lated his observations Of the patriot
ism of otber countries through
which he has travelled, mentioning
Japan and China, but stated that in
no other country did he find patriot
ism ct the same brand as in the
United States. He said that in the

thereof should be awake to the fact
that our success comes from the
great institutions of which our coun-
try can boast, and which could never
succeed under any but constitutional
government; therefore, as the papal
church is directing it's forces against
our public schools, we should exert
every energy to defeat their attempt

blood-bought liberties.
The next speaker introduced was
the Rev. Augustus e. Barnett Rec

BEATS MAN WHO coURTED
DAUGHTER IN A CHuRC

BRIDGEVILLE, Del, December rs.
AT a prayer meeting in the Holiness
church here last night Mrs. Augie
Dimes beat Raymond Jones, a young
married man, over the head with both
her shoes. She declared that Jones
was paying too much ardent attention
to her daughter
He and Miss Dimes sat behind the
girls mother in the church, despite
her protest. They were having on
animated conversation when the irate
mother suddenly removed one oil her
shoes and began beating Jones with
it. The young man took the shoe
from the woman and threw it into a
stove.
He tried to escape from the church,
but before he could do so Mrs. Dimes
removed her other shoe and started
raining blows on him.
At this juncture the hundred wor-
shippers took hand, separating the
belligerents. The prayer meeting pro-
ceeded after the shoeless woman and
Jones and the daughter had departed.

BILLsoARDs SOON TO
INVADE FIFTH AVENUE

NEW YORK, December 25.-That
section of Fifth avenue between
Eighty-ninth and Ninetieth streets is
to be disfigured in a way most dis
tasteful to those in the neighborhood,
and it is probable that legal action in
the courts may result.
The disturbance in this restful neigh
borhood began yesterday when Chas.
A. Gould had plans filed for an iron
advertising fence twenty-five feet in
height and seventy-five feet wide to be
erected on the vacant property he
owns at Nos. 1884 and 1856 Fifth av-
enue The sign is to be built by the
o. ], GUIDE Company
Those who objected to the sign go
ing up did not care to say last even
ing what they proposed to do about it.
Archer NJ. Huntington, whose home is
at No. 1888 Fifth avenue, said that he
never crossed the bridge until he
came to it,"
McLane Van Ingen, whose house is
at No. 1881 Fifth avenue, said it was
not pleasant to have such a sign 90
up, but he did not know how to pre-
vent It, as 1t was to be built on the
owners property Andrew Carnegie's
house is on the block below.

UNION STREET
SALE ENJOINED

A temporary restraining order was
issued yesterday by Judge Cooper, di-
rected to Land Commissioner Charles
IS. Judd, on petition of William VOL
tiers, preventing the land commissioner
for the present from selling the TRAN
gular piece of land on Union street
that the Brewer Estate wants to
square the property it already owns
adjoining. The parcel of land com
prises 1924 square feet and an upset
price of $4,000 is asked for it.
Mr.. VOTERS objects strenuously to
the sale of this land before Union
street is closed and holds that the land
commissioner has no right to sell it
until the street is closed. He also op-
poses the closing of the street, as he
owns property abutting on it just mau-
ka of the Brewer Estate property. Mr..
Wolters makes the statement that the
whole scheme is merely to benefit the
Brewer ESTATE and Is not IL the pest
interests of the community nor fair to
other property owners.
In the matter of the suit for $4,000
brought against the Alexander Young
Building Company recently by the
father of little All Kwai, the Chinese
boy who was killed in an elevator of
the Young Hotel, Judge Cooper yester-
day denied the motion of the defend
ant company for a more specific com
plant.
The petition of Paul Muhlendorf to
register title to his property on Tan
talus was granted yesterday by Judge
Whitney, sitting as Judge of the land
court.

MONUMENT AT GETTYSBURG
TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN

GETTYSBURG, Pa, December 20.
To the memory Of Abraham Lincoln
and to still further immortalize his
Gettysburg address, a monument Of
granite and bronze is now in course
of erection in the national cemetery
within sight of the place where Lin
coin made his address on the occa-
sion of the dedication of the Gene
terry almost a half century ago
The monument, a granite exedra
about twenty feet in length, will be
surmounted by a bronze bust of the
civil war president and will also con
tain two tablets on one of which is
inscribed his speech here.
An appropriation made by Congress
years ago provides for the cost.

THE ouTwoRN PossuM JEST.

THE OUTWORN POSSOM JEo u
We congratulate President Taft on
his refusal to go to North Carolina
for a possum hunt. There has been
more than enough of the executive
hospitality which pretends to consid-
err possum hunting as a rational en-
tertainment, and much more than
enough of the bogus epicureanism
which includes possum in the list OF
dainties "Possum hunting is as far
outside of the glories, the eXcitements
and the perils of the chase as a Dor
cas- party. The possum has no place
on an enlightened menu. Possum meat
is greasy even when it isn't fat, and
is far from good at any time. Many
southerners have got unlimited mer-
riment out of eulogies of the possum
as an object of the huntsmans craft,
and as a delicate morsel for the table,
They have invited Presidents to take
part in both the banquets and the
chase, and have drawn as much
amusement from the process as Mo
bile and New Orleans extract from
the pleasant fooling of the Mardi
Gras carnival. Nobody of experience
land discernment ever eats possum
when anything else, even channel cat
fish, is to be had.-New York Sun.

CHAMP DOESN'T
LIKE LONDON

NEW YORK, December 22.-Jack
Johnson started for Chicago this after
noon with his monocle packed in one
of his fourteen trunks. Before de-
parting he related in emphatic Ian
guage his Impressions of Europe, par
ticularly England, and more particu-
larly London, where a visitor can not
get decent drink and where no fighter
can win belt unless he is an English
man. Jack said the entire collection
of championship belts would not bring
$50. His opinion of Lord Lonsdale
would not look well in print
Johnson brought across an excess
baggage, four new automobiles and
$4,000 cash.
Regarding the stories that he has
gone back Johnson said he would
be glad to disillusionize any party or
parties who would put up 100000 and
pick their own man to fight for it.
Jack warmly praises Paris. He
danced off about forty pounds in the
Grizzly Bear" "Tevas Tommy" and
other dances, and said the French peo-
pie were very kind to him.
Dispatches from Chicago tonight say
that Johnson os a fallen idol there.
When he returned from Reno after
defeating Jeffries there was tremen-
dous demonstration, with bands play
ing, chartered street cars running free
through the black belt and a general
frenzy. When he returns tomorrow
morning his chief welcome will be
from his mother, who has prepared a
wonderful Christmas dinner. The
colored people of Chicago have made
no preparations to receive him.

DOMINICAN REBEL MAY
PAY DEATH PENALTY

WASHINGTON, December 26. -
That General Morales is likely to for
felt his life because of his late at
tempt at rebellion in Santo Domingo
is the tenor of advice received today
from the island republic. He appears
to have landed on the east coast of
the island with less than a half-dozen
followers.
Morales was confident he could
arouse the Dominicans and overturn
the administration of President Eladio
Victoria, who succeeded to the presi-
dency after the assassination of Presi-
dent Caceres. The people apparently
were tired of revolutions and failed
to respond, 1t is understood Morales,
who is an ex-president, is soon to be
put on trial, and it is believed he will
be executed.

WASHINGTON December %, 1911.
A preliminary statement giving for
each state and territory Of continental
United States the distribution of the
population according to its elements
of race, nativity, and parentage, as
shown by the returns of the Thirteenth
Decennial Census, taken as of April
Is, 1910, was issued today by Director
Durand, of the Bureau of the Census,
Department of Commerce and Labor
The figures for continental United
States as a whole, with considerable
discussion, have previously been made
public. The present statement gives
the figures in detail for each state and
territory as a matter of general in
formation, in advance of their appear
ance in bulletin or report form. The
statistics were prepared under the SUI
pervision of Mr.. William G. Hunt,
chief statistician for population in the
bureau Of the census, and are subject
to later revision.
Table 1 shows in percentages the
distribution of the population accord
ing to its elements, as returned at the
census of 1910, for continental United
States as a whole, and for the nine
geographic divisions. For the white
population distinction is made between
persons of native and foreign birth,
respectively, and for the native white
a further distinction is made with re-
spect to parentage. Those persons
having both parents native are classed
as of native parentage; those having
one or both parents foreign born are
closed as of foreign parentage.
In New England and Middle Atlantic
States.
The foreign element is proportional
ly greatest in the New England and
Middle Atlantic divisions, white per
sons of foreign birth and those OF
foreign parentage but native birth to-
gether constituting in each division
one-half or more of the total popula
ton. These two elements also con
stitute between 40 and so per cent OF
the total population of each of the two

SUPERVISOR MURRAY HELD

The coroners jury in the Timoteo

"We the jury empaneled i'm the mat
ter of the inquest over the body Of one
Timoteo Hernandes, find that Timoteo
Hernandez came to his death on the
first day of January, 1912, at Honolulu,
City and County of Honolulu. Territory
of Hawaii, on River street, between
Kukui and Vineyard streets, from frac-
ture of the base of the skull, said in
jury having been caused by a blow on
the head, throwing the said Timoteo
Hernandes violently to the ground,
said blow being delivered by one
Harry E. Murray, passenger on a
moving automobile
The matter will in all probability be
investigated by the Territorial grand

of manslaughter against Murray is
likely to be brought until action has
been taken by the aforesaid body.

ray threatened to kill bolin if he said
anything to anyone about the affair
Murray, however, admitted having told
the chauffeur to keep quiet with a
view to seeing if the matter could not
be fixed in some way.

The evidence showed that Murray,
Robert White of the U. S. S. Califor-
MIA and D. r. Henderson Of the U. s.
s. West Virginia had been drinking at
the Elks' Club and at the Union Grill
previous to going to the Buckle luau
j. Walter Doyle, however, had taken
nothing, nor had Bolin.
Murray admitted that he had denied
being a party in the automobile He
couldn't explain his reason for having
done so other than possessing a mo-
mentary desire to avoid publicity and
being called as witness at the in
quest
He also testified to having swung
out from the car with the idea of shov-
ing the man out of dangers way,
though Bolin testified that there was
ample room for the car to have passed
Hernandez.
Before he knew it, Hernandes hit
his outstretched arm and fell.
Henderson and White testified to
having seen Murray swing out from
his seat toward the man. They also
heard Murray say at the luau, when
Bolin told him that he had found the
man dead, that he was afraid so the

COLOR, NATIVITY AND PARENTAGE
OF POPULATION, BY STATES

North Central divisions and of the
Mountain and Pacific divisions, re-
spectively. The three Southern divi-
sions, on the other hand, contain only
comparatively small proportion Of
white persons either of foreign birth
or of foreign parentage, the population
of these sections of the country hav-
ing been affected but little by foreign
immigration, and therefore, consist
ing mainly of native white persons of
native parentage and negroes.
OF the individual states there are 10
in which the foreign-born whites and
the native whites of foreign parent
age together constituted more than
half of the total population in 1910,
namely: Minnesota, Ills per cent;
North Dakota, 70.6; Rhode Island,
6S.7; Wisconsin, 66.S; Massachusetts,,
&c; Connecticut, 691; New York, 62.9;
New Jersey, 500; Michigan, 55.5;
South Dakota, 54.4; Montana, 52.S;
Utah, 52.2; and Illinois, 51.9.
On the other hand there are 20
states in which more than one-half
the total population is native white of
native parentage; and there are II
states in which more than two-thirds
of the total population is of this class
The latter are the following: West
Virginia, 1913 per cent native white of
native parents; Kentucky, S1.4; Okla.

Effect of immigration.
On account of the large immigra.
ton during the past decade, which has
mainly gone to the Northern and West
ern states, particular interest attaches
to the percentages which the foreign
born population constitute of the total
population in those sections of the
country The proportion is the largest
in New England, where the foreign
born white represents 277 per cent
of the total population for 1910. The
