SAYS SEPERATE RACES
SENATOR TILLMAN ADVOCATES
SUCH A COURSE.
The Senator Tells Wry There Are So
Many Negroes and So Few Whites
Employed.

Employed.
A question which is more or less
agitated in Washington right now is
the segregation of the races in the
Government departments. This plan
is favored by senator Tillman of
South Carolina and Senator Vardman
of Mississippi. In discussing this
question Senator Tillman was asked
why there were more colored persons
in the Civil Service than whites from
the South. It is said that there are
$4,000 negroes in the service.
Senator Tillman answered the gu
estion with characteristic frankness.
II think it is due to the unwillingness
of the white women and white men
of the South to go to school as 1t
were, alongside Of negroes" he said.
"The white people of the South are
not much in love with the equality
implied by the Civil Service examina-
tions. They therefore, neglect to take
the examinations and get on the eligi
BILE list. These lists are humbugs,
Of course as we all know because the
certification of the three names at
the top from which the appointing
officer must choose and failing to
find the proper material for the clerk
in the first three can call for another.
If President Wilson," continued Sen
ator Tillman, "and the Cabinet Off
GERS under him use the proper correc-
tive, and it need not be drastic or
revolutionary, should think in three
or four years we would have very
radical change in conditions in the
civil service in Washington"
Whether the civil service reforms
advocated will be carried out or not,
it is a fact that some of the cabinet
officers and their assistants are seek
ing to separate the negroes and
whites in the service as much as pos
sible. John Shelton Williams of Vir-
ginia, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, in paying visit to the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving
short while ago found the white and
negro employees eating lunch togeth-
er. He ordered it stopped at once
and insisted that separate places be
provided. He said that it might be
necessary for them to work together

STEAMER HITS ICEBERG.
Was Going Slow and Was Damaged
but Very Little.

The fate of the Titanic was narrow
ly escaped by the steamer Chiltern
Range in collision with an iceberg
to the east of Newfoundland Banks,
on her voyage from Hull to Montreal,
where she arrived Monday. The bow
plates Of the steamer, British
freighter, were badly dented. The
berg was struck in latitude 46.39
north, and longtitute 44.40 west, in
the track of the ocean liners, but
some distance to the north and east
of the spot where the Titanic met
her fate. After the collision the
steamer was surrounded by icebergs,
which, although they could not be
seen because Of the fog, evidenced
their presence by the echoes that re-
sounded from their towering sides at
every blast from the steamers whis-
tie.

new INVENTION THAT MAY end
MURDER PAIN
PUTS AN end TO AGONY
Soldier, After Being Shot, viii Take
a Nap-Big Game Can be Obtained
Humanely and Fleeing Burglars
Sent to the Land of Nod Until the
Police Arrive.

The painless blowing off of ones
arms during war time, the humane
shooting of wild game on hunting ex-
peditions, and the simple operation Of
firing the specially prepared bullet
into the heel of a fleeing burglar to
have his run few yards farther and
then go off into peaceful slumber, is
what a Pittsburg scientist hopes for
a medically treated bullet with which
he is experimenting, says the Wash
ington Post.
He hopes to have the United States
Government adopt the bullet for
army use. He is trying to get the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals to recognize it's merits,
and then induce sportsmen to adopt
it. He later will give the police
chiefs of the country few boxes to
experiment with.
The new compound, "the narcotic
bullet" is the invention Of Alexander
F. Humphrey Experiments are being
conducted by a committee Of army
officers, police officials, and sports
men. 1t is considered alike humane
in warfare and deadly in hunting big
game. In self-defence it provides the
poor marksman with all the advan-
tages of an unerring aim.
In his sleep p-producing missile
Humphrey uses a minute particle Of
morphia. The drug is carried in tiny
wells in the steel jacket Of the regu-
lation army bullet.
Humphrey claims that it in no
wise interieres with the effectiveness
of the missile. The slight indenta-
ton in the steel jacket, he says,
causes no splintering when it comes
in contact with the bone The wound
of the narcotic bullet, according to
his theory, does not differ from that
caused By the regulation bullets now
used in the approved army cartridges.
No deleterious effects will follow the
unique administration of the drug.
The soldier, receiving a slight flesh
wound from the new bullet, fights no
more that day; he calmly stretches
himself on the ground and goes to
sleep.
The man receiving a serious wound
suffers no agony, as the narcotic
from the bullet is absorbed by his
system and he is insensible to pain
before he reaches the hospital.
The man whose wound is mortal
sleeps away his last hours, thus do
ing away with most of the battle field
horror. The fleeing burglar is shot
in the arm, runs forward short dis
tance, stretches himself on the side
walk, and all the policeman has to do
is to summon an ambulance and haul
him away. The big game hunters,
Humphrey says, will feel no fear Of
counter-stroke from a wounded
tiger, lion, or grizzly bear. Although
the bullet may make but slight
wound, the game is as good as bag
ged once it is struck.

Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and

I could not help laughing at the
ease with which he explained his pro-
cess of deduction. when I hear you

lousy simple that I could esaily do
