Really things are coming to pretty

from one occupation the black is en-

sister will be seeking employment as

sense of justice so strongly character

of the woods will soon see to it that
the Negro wins the privilege of hold
ing down any position which the white
man does not need, provided the Ne
gro understands that the white man is
entitled to every available Job in every
line of work. y
The south handles its problems in
Its own way and there the "downtrod.

with the fact that no protest ever is
made that he is invading the white
mans fields. He keeps to his own,
but the southern white man has ar
ranged matters SO that there is work
for every Negro who will work. The
housebuilding trades, the mechanical
fields, and occupations of many kinds
are open to him, while the fact that
socially and otherwise he is kept
apart has developed a large and grow

endeavor In which the better minds
and hands find profitable employment

Eugene Matchett Dead.

| Regarding the death of Eugene
Matchett, who was we'll known in
Moscow as representative of the In
ternational correspondence schools,
the Wallace Press-Times says:
The funeral of Eugene j. Matchett,
who died at a local hospital of per-
itonitis Wednesday evening will be
held from the undertaking rooms OF
IJ. D. Buchanan in Spokane this aft
ernoon. Burial will be made in
Greenwood cemetery.
Mr.. Matchett's death came after
short illness. Two weeks ago he
took a bad cold, which caanged into
pneumonia. Two days ate he went
to the hospital. Peritonitis set in
near the time of the crisis il the 9TH
er serious disease.
AS route manager for tde lnterna-
tional Correspondence Schools he had
been coming to Wallace for the last
five years. More recently he changed
his headquarters from Moscow, Ida
no, here and had devoted even more
of his time to this district. He had
many friends in this and other Coeu1
d'Alene towns, who were ;,l'eved to
hear of his sad death.
The 3oung man is survived by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs John Matchett

was up before the committee of the
whole today, with Senator Defenbach
in the chair, and in spite of assaults
made upon it by Senator Fairchild
and Senator Robinson it was recon-
mended for passage. There were but
three votes cast against this. They
were those of Senators Fairchild,
Robinson and Fields.
Practically the only opposition to
the bill was aimed at the amendments
which exclude mining companies do
ing actual work in the state from its
operations. Senators Fairchild and
Robinson took the position that these
amendments destroyed the whole value
of the bill, as it was in the mining
industry that most of the fraud was
committed.
Senators Hanson, Macbeth, He'd
rick and Luck took the position that
if mining companies were not ex-
cluded it would stamp out the mining
industry in the state altogether. They
alsoNook the position that as the Idaho
companies would be compelled to make
sworn statements to the state mine in
spector that the public would be pro-
tecated in this way.

Fighting Resumed.

MEXICO CITY, Feb 15.-After the
customary hour for breakfast, fighting
between the federal troops and the
Diazists was again resumed this morn
ing.
The federal troops repeatedly
charged the arsenal, which is the Diaz
stronghold, but they were repulsed
with heavy losses as rapidly as they
advanced.
President Madero is fighting with his
back to the wall and apparently be-
lieves that the stability of his govern
ment depends upon the outcome of to-
days battle.
1t is known that many of the federal
troops are tired of fighting and but
for the firmness of their leader, Gem
eral Huerta, who remains absolutely
loyal, they would desert.
The rebels today renewed their can
nonading Of the national palace, and
shelled Madero's private residence,
which was badly damaged.
Congress will meet this afternoon
to receive President Madero's resigna-
ton, but there is no reason to believe
that it will be forthcoming so long
as Huerta can keep the troops at the
palace loyal.
There was fighting from 10 o'clock
last night until early this morning.

officials of the Brotherhood of Firemen
had rejected the counter-proposition
of the "a railroads, the operation of

Judge Knapp of the commerce
court and Labor Commissioner Neil,
who have been appointed as special

agements and the men are again con-
ferring with the two factions this
afternoon.
The railroads, which have insisted
ON arbitration by a board of seven
men similar to that which decided
the dispute with the engineers last
year, while the firemen demanded
arbitration under the Erdman act,

now propose arbitration by "a board
of six members, two representatives
of the roads, two of the firemen and
two disnterested members to be ap-
pointed as the Erdman act provides.
The roads offer also to retain in the
arbitration proceedings all other fea-
lures of the Erdman act which the
firemen may desire.
The railroads proposal given out
by the conference committee of man
ayers, was submitted Immediately to
the federal government officials who
have been trying to bring the parties
together and at once was placed by
the mediators before the representa-
tives of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Engineers.
The roads made their new move
after a day of many conferences, the
chief of which perhaps was that be-
tween the presidents of six of the
largest lines involved. When break
seemed almost inevitable and the
firemen made known that they had
a strike order in readiness and inti-
mated that they would wait no longer
than midnight for the roads to make
some concessions, President Brown
of the New York Central sent out
hurried call to such presidents of
the other roads affected as could be
reached When the president ad-
journed they said they would not take
the matter out of the managers hands.
but would be satisfied with whatever
they should make of the
question. The managers then sub
mitted their counter-proposal which
the men have now refused.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-At 1000
O'Clock this morning the state depart

1t is admitted by the state depart

it will be months before the new ad-

force order, and that Americans and
other foreigners will continue to be in
danger from both Diazists and Nader
