VICTOR HUGO IN EXILE.
And tho Attic Room In Which He
Wrote His Masterpiece.


graphic description Of a visit to
Victor Hugo In Guernsey and of his
maint home there is given by the late
Sir william Butler In his autobiogra-
-pny:
"Of the many curious things to be
seen in Hauteville house the masters
sleeping room was the strangest. He
had built it on the roof between two
oreat blocks of chimneys. You as
eended to his workshop bedroom by
stairs which somewhat resembled a
ladder. Quite half of the room was
glass, and the view from 1t was mag
nificent- The isles of Jethou and Sark
we're In the middle distance, and be-
yond lay many a mile Of the Norman
coast. Alderney lay to the north, and
beyond 1t one saw the glistening win
dows Of the triple lighthouses Of the
Casquet rocks and still more to the
light the high ridges overlooking Cher
bourg. The bed was small camp
bedstead, with a table on one side of
II and a small desk chest of drawers
on the other, with pens. ink and paper
always within reach.
"Near the bed stood a small stove
which he lighted himself every morn
Ing and on which he prepared his cafe
au lait; then work began at the large
table which stood In the glass alcove
q few feet from the foot Of the bed
This work went on till 1t was time to
dress and descend to dejeuner in the
room on the ground floor already de-
scribed AS the sheets Of writing pa
per were finished they were number
ed and dropped on the floor, to be
picked up, arranged and put away in
the drawer desk at the end Of the
mornings labor. He called the writ
ting table his carpenters bench and
the leaves which fell from it his SHAW
ings.'
ut was at this table and in this airy
attic that most of the great work Of
bis later life was done Here were
written Les Miserables,' Les Traveil-
leurs de la Mer' and many volumes of
poetry"

How to make his art earn his liv-
ing became now his problem. The
struggle has been long and often dis
couraging, but success is in sight. For
a year past Mr.. Lewis has discarded
other means and has depended solely
on his profession of commercial art to
provide for himself and the charming
woman to whom he was united in
marriage two years ago.
Designing, lettering, landscaping, all
are within the sphere of his art. A
number of Minneapolis business peo-
pie have found use for his talents
Among others the w. K. Morrison &
Co., hardware merchants is running
a cut in the daily papers, cut which
he designed. A number of his designs
are in use by the Olive Hair Co. Par
lors. The cards of the Twin City stag
Club were designed by him, and an
attractive cut of the John Dickerson
Cabaret Co., is also his work. Mr..
Lewis is still studying with hope of
becoming an illustrator. When in the
near future the Afro-American daily
becomes a reality, Mr.. Lewis will be
ready for a place upon it's artistic
staff.

FIGHTS RACE SEGREGATION,
O. G. Willard, New York Editor, De-
nounces Baltimore Plan. Criticises
Wilson for Separation in Gov
eminent DEPARTMENTS,


eminent Departments.
Baltimore, Nd, Oct. 2O.-(Special.)
The opening of a fight against pro-
posed ordinance which would restrict
Afro-American residents to certain Sec
lions of Baltimore was made tonight
by Oswald Garrison Willard of New
York at mass meeting in Bethel A.
M. r. church. Mr.. Willard is editor
OF the New York Evening Post and
chairman of the board of directors of
the National Association for Advance
ment of Colored People.
The mass meeting was arranged by
the local branch of the association.
Mr.. Willard attacked not only the pro-
posed ordinance but also the attitude
OF President Wilson in permitting
segregation in the various govern
mental departments.
Compares Baltimore to Russia.
Il am here to protest against the un-
American policy of segregation of the
races now attempted for the third time
by ordinance in this city," Mr. Willard
said. I'VE oppose this policy for many
reasons: 1t is contrary to the best
interests of the community as it Is
oPPOoOo
the colored population which it tends
to degrade; it is an attempt to estab-
llsh on American soil the abominable
Russian Ghetto, from which hundreds
or thousands are now fleeing.
1T is unavoidable, economically i'm
possible and indefensible, and bound,
If attempted, to increase and not de-
crease race hatred and friction. Final
ly, 1t is another step in the persistent
effort to create two unequal classes
of citizens within this republic-the
advantaged and the disadvantaged.
THE ghetto, the segregating of GER
tain groups in city's life, has gone
out OF existence everywhere in Europe
save only in Russia.
Deplores Attitude of Wilson.
~ nat any American city can even
lean in this direction is an anomaly
and disgrace to our civilization Let
us erase the name of Baltimore and
call it our Kieff, our Odessa, our
Kishenev, our Moscow.
But, it will be objected, has not the
federal government recently set an
example of discrimination in the de-
partments at Washington? Unde-
nlably. The adoption of the policy
was merely an expression Of the in
nate prejudice of the southern portion
Of the administration, the president,
and certain members of his cabinet,
But President Wilson's philosophy
is wrong, his democracy gravely at
fault
Those who in this day and gen.
GRAFTON are seeking to establish two
classes of citizens tho dicfrop oh; g od
and enfranchised, to say that there
shall be two kinds of government en-
ployes-they are on the high road to
CONFUSING anew this land of liberty,
which will never know peace and quiet
as long as there are determinations
among it's citizens"

PATHETIC APPEAL
FOR MINISTER

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 29.-An
aunt of Marion Capps, an aged
Methodist minister who is under
sentence of death for the muir
der of three children, has writ
ten a pathetic appeal to Gov. J.
NJ. Futrell, asking executive
clemency. The woman, writing
from Alabama, states she knows
Capps is not guilty, and if the
governor will properly investi-
gate, he will reach such deter
mination.
Capps was arrested after his
home near Bonanza, in Sebas-
tan county, was destroyed by
fire, and two children so badly
burned they died, a few days
later another child dying from
it's burns. A daughter and son
who escaped told that the father
had saturated the beds with coal
oil, tied them in bed and applied
a match to the building.
The daughter, after the ia
Their had been convicted, repud-
lated her story, and stated that

that the story had been suggest

ernor will look fully into the

Five Years For Brass Kid"

FIVE Years For brass Md.
Hot Springs, April %. Five
years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary was the punish
ment fixed by a trial jury for
Herbert Coons, alias J. II. Ward,
alias the BRASS KID in a YER
dict handed into circuit court
this afternoon at 6 o'clock. He
was the second mans led in
connection with the swA die cas-
es here.
The jury had been out since
1918 o'clock in the afternoon.
A prompt verdict had been an
ticipated, and after the first
hour was spent in the jury room
without any indication as to
what was being done there, mis-
givings followed. The jury,
however, was only divided, it
was learned, on the question of
the punishment. The punish
ment that could have been fixed
ranged from one to five years.
The limit was finally agreed up
on in the verdict. In a closing
argument of masterful force,
Attorney w. H. Martin, for the
state, had called the attention of
the jury to the ina Adequacy Of
the larceny laws in TIN state,
and to the fact that gra lar
ceny is the theft of anyN sum
over the value of $40. NoNs-
tinction is made beyond that. -
The jury, at least, almost as
a unit, seemed to feel the force
of this argument and refused to
join a small minority in the mat
ter of leniency to the Brass
Kid" sticking out solidly for
the full punishment that could
be fixed under the law.
Foreman M. J. Henderson read
the verdict:
eve, the jury, find the defend
ant guilty and fix his punish
ment at five years imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary."
There was a nod, a slight nod,
from the BRASS Kid" as the
word guilty" fell from the lips
of the foreman, then a further
asserting nod when the penalty
was read. 1t was apparent that
the BRASS Kid" was not sur
prised at the verdict.
Previously in the proceedings
it seems there had been some
talk of his entering a plea of
guilty, and when that was sug-
gested the Brass Kid" had said:
81 would rather get five years
on a verdict than five hours ON
a plea of guilty"
The customary notice of ap-
peal was given and the BRASS
Kid" was led away to his cell
in the county Jail.

HAYS FIAYS
LEASE SYSTEM
Ut State Convicts In Opening
Speech at Fayetteville.

Fayetteville, April %. - The
opening gun of the gubernatori-
al campaign was fired at Fay
etteville today when Judge Geo.
w. Hays of Camden spoke to a
thousand citizens of WASHINGTON
county at the courthouse this
morning.
Judge Naples delayed the O.
pening of the court this morn
ing in order for Judge Hays to
speak. The address was we'll
received. The remainder of the
day Judge Hays spent on the
streets of the city, meeting per-
sonally the business men of Fay
etteville and farmers who are
here attending court.
In opening his address, Judge
Hays stated that he wanted it
distinctly understood that this
is not going to be a fight for the
governors chair, but that it was
going to be a race between two
candidates who hold allegiance
to the same political party. In
to Brundidge's chal-
lenge to meet him in joint de-
bate, Judge Hays said that he
did not favor debating in the
race for governor because it re
suited in personalities.
He stated that he will not be
a candidate for the office Of
United States Senator while he
was serving as governor of the
state.
Judge Hays declared himself
against increased taxation, but
favored the enactment and en-
forcement of such laws as will
equalize taxes, throwing the bur-
den upon those who are most
able to bear it.
In regard to leasing the state
convicts, he said that he is
to this inhuman prac
tice. He termed it as being a
gainst the dictates of advanced
civilization.
In speaking of the state uni
versity, the candidate said that
he would use his power to get
the university out of politics and
to put it upon a firm financial
basis.
He spoke of the state agricul-
tural schools as being of vital
Importance to the state. He
heartily indorsed the action of
the last General Assembly in
creating special state depart
ment in the interest of labor.
The other essential points in
his address were in favor of
good roads and continuance OF
the old soldiers pensions.
