DON'T FORGET THIS NOBLE vi,
FLORIDA CHARITY

While all of us are or ought to be
in a giving mood during the Christ
mas holidays, let lis not forget that
noble and deserving charity in Jack,
sonville. the Children's Home Society
of Florida, where hundreds of or
phans and destitute children are
cared for every year by contribu-
tions from kind-hearted people
throughout the State This charity
is in every way deserving. is do
ing an immense amount Of practical
good and it needs money badly right
now to pay its current expenses.
While thinking Of your own little
ones SO well cared for and who will
have superabundance of Christmas
gifts next week. don't forget these
little creatures up in Jacksonville
gathered from all parts of the State,
with no parents to look after their
wants and solely dependent upon
contributions from generous peo-
pie. Send what money you can to
Marcus Fagg, secretary, at Jackson
VILE. and you will feel all the bet
ter for knowing that you have un
selfishly gone outside your own fam
| lily during the blessed season O
Christmas giving and done some
thing to help care for Gods orphan
! in the world.
Send fifty cents, dollar, two dol
lars five dollars, any amount yo'
feel disposed to give and it will g
to your credit somewhere in the mys
terry Of Gods providence and b
drawing interest for you every me
ment until the hour Of your fina
reckoning comes.

rams next spring; and it will be no
easy matter to do this for the most
cordial and lavish hospitality has al
ways been the rule in the welcome
given the old soldiers by the vari-
Gus Southern cities in which they
have held their reunions. The abb
sence of mercenary spirit on the part
Of these cities has been strikingly

Straub left a capable understudy
on the St. Petersburg Times when
he went up to New York to separate
Uncle Andy from some Of his shek-
els in behalf of a Carnegie library in
his town, but we want to see him
back with his free hand on his edi-
torial page. The understudy is all
right on the leaders, but the plate
matter is a poor substitute for the
paragraphs.

The Florida Metropolis agrees
with the Telegram that it is a good
thing to see the Californians settling
in Florida, thus testifying to the SUI
perior advantages Of our State, and
adds:
And then, these Californians are
experienced citrus growers, as a rule
and always good live wires. Every
one we gain takes away from the
sum total Of California's strength in
pulling other desirables their way
and adds to our strength in pulling
them our way. True, it may be
small, but it is the little things thai
make the big things"

Fort Madison la. May 17.--Within
forty hours after having slashed the
throat of Chief of Police ]. b. Watkins.
George Switzer, today began thirty
year sentence for the crime in the pen
itentiary here.
Switzer attacked the chief of police
on Thursday afternoon. Today he
viewed preliminary examination and
the county attorney exercised the
right under the state law to bring the
case Immediately before the district
court.
Before District Judge Hamilton,
switzer pleaded guilty to q charge Of
assault with intent to commit murder
and sentence was quickly imposed.
Ten minutes later Switzer was taken
down the street to the penitentiary to
begin his term.
Chief Watkins found Switzer lying
OH the ground apparently intoxicated
Thursday afternoon. He attempted to
Investigate, when the man lunged at
lin with pocket knife, cutting his
throat from ear to ear. The chief is
said to be out of danger.

JESSE NUSBAUN WHO BALKED
CANNIBALS, REACHES u. 5.

a land naturally excited the curiosi-
ty of the American nation and papers
in the east and west have commented
on 1t.
Sends Message.
Jesse Nusbaum, who is popular in
Santa Fe society, sent the following
message to the New Mexican's tele-
graph editor: Am suffering from in
digestion. Cannibal meat not fit for
white man. Hope to come west
SOON"
1t is assumed from this that in
stead of the cannibals eating up Nor
ley and Nusbaum, the two Americans
gave them a lively chase. Perhaps
they could do this as they were ac-
companied by General Luiz with ten
soldiers and machine gun.
Where is Morley?
That is the question now asked.
Mrs. Morley who is in the city stated
today that she has not heard when
Mr.. Morley leaves Yucatan for this
country. 1t seems that Mr.. Nusbaun
preceded the Harvard scientist of
whose plans he may write later on.
The results of the expedition are
not announced of course. But it is
believed that it was most successful.

War Talk Condemned.

bic war talk was condemned by most
Of the speakers at mass meeting to-
day, organized by an association rep
resenting partly business and partly
educational interesse ~ which some
parliamentary representatives were
also present
The speeches made by the majority
of the educational representatives, in
contrast to the other addresses, were
sober and conservative. They gave
expression to confidence that the Jap
anese will steadfastly point on the un-
fairness of discrimination.
1t was, however, declared that the
time had arrived when the Japanese
must be given equal treatment with
other peoples and the speakers con
demned the aggressions of the whites
in the world against the colored races,
the instance being given of the lynch
ing of negroes in the southern states.
Races Are Equal.
Professor Nagai, of Weisda unive1-
sity, in the course Of his address said
God made the white and colored
peoples equal. Unless we claim
We shall fail to carry out
Gods wishes"
This was received with cheering

Bames Agents Of Gun Factories.
Representatives Teutako Hinata
and Keno Hayashi protested against
the discrimination shown by the alien
| land ownership bill and condemned
the lack of land and agricultural
clauses in the existing treaty. TAey
scored the reckless agitators, who
they said, were merely playing the
game of those seeking orders for
guns and warships.
Resolutions were then adopted de-
claring that the Japanese in America
must have equal rights with the
whites and that this fundamental So
luton of the existing difficulty would
uphold Japanese prestige and guar
antee permanent peace.
The meeting closed with dignity
and seriousness and with the express
sion of the idea that granting natural
ization rights to the Japanese in
America would be a practical solution.
Discuss Situation.
Washington, d. c., May 17.--Secre-
tary Bryan conferred with the presi-
dent this afternoon on the Japanese
situation. The president was taking
g holiday but talked with the secre-
tary of state about the answer of the
United States to the Japanese protest
az ainst the California anti-alien land
legislation.

REPORT ON UNION
OF PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCHES is MADE

Atlanta, Ga, May 17.--Committees
appointed by the United Presbyterian
church of North America and the
I resbyterian church of the United
States to devise a practical basis of
III ion between the two organizations,
respective general assemblies, in ses-
sion here. The report sets forts the
essential oneness of the church OF
Christ" and enumeratas a common
standing ground Of fundamental truths
on which both organizations rest.
Among these fundamental truths, the
report lists:
The Westminster confession OF
faith, the larger and shorter cate
clsms as doctrinal standards to be
Interpreted in their natural and OBJ
vious meaning; the holy scriptures OF
the old and the new testament are to
be received as the very word Of God"
The doctrine of the trinity and the
divinity of Christ are other essentials
enumerated.
The general assemblies Of both
churches, to whom the report was sub
mitted, unanimously agreed to consid-
Grafton of the proposed basis for union
of the convening of the 1914 assem-
blies. 1t has been urged that the pro-
posed amalgamation plan be submitted
to the Presbyteries before action is
tt ken by the assembly.

AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALeaND oaJVD CANADA
WOULD FAVOR Il. s. IN WoaR WITH JAPAN

London, May 17.-"Should wal
break out the sympathies of Australia,
New Zealand and Western Canada
would be violently on the side of the
United States,'' says the Pail Mall Ga
sette today in discussing the Califor-
mia land ownership controversy
The newspaper considers that it
would be a grave mistake to under
estimate the chances of conflict be-
tv cen the United States and Japan. It
says:
THE opinion that the Japanese will
never go to war to enforce their treaty
rights in California is one of those
Gangercus generalities which lead ma
tons blindfold to the brink of the pit.
Not So Violent.
Washington, d. G., May 17.-Ari-
zonas new alien land law is not re-
garded here as seriously complicating
the negotiations with Japan because
the act does not contain the same di-
rect bar against Japanese as the Cali
fcrnia act. 1t is expected, however,
that because of it's adverse effect upon
Mexican land owners in Arizona, a pro-
test will be forthcoming from the
Mexican government, even in view OF
Ire rather irregular status of the di-
p)omatic relations between America
and Mexico.

Well it is the streets. Can't you

OVER A THOUSAND ASK
PEONAGE INVESTIGATION

Washington, D. G., May 17.-More
than thousand letters, petitions and
kilograms have piled up in Senator
Kern's office urging the passage of
his resolution for inquiry into condi-
tions in the Paint Creek and Cabin
Creek coal mine regions of West Vir-
ginia.
Today the senator received a letter
from a man in New York, who wrote
that he had been induced to go into
the West Virginia mines under false
representations, compelled to pay his
own expenses, and to get away, was
forced to steal his way out to avoid
the mine guards. The man offered to
testify.
Action on the Kern resolution is
expected Monday after Senator Goff
completes his argument against it.
