WHY AFRO-AMERICANS ARE
LEAVING THE SOUTHLAND.
Economic Conditions and Presence d
Certain Perils Principal Causes.

In an article recently published In
the Philadelphia Public Ledger Mr..
Henry w. Wilbur gives the following
az some Of the reasons why the colored
people are leaving the rural districts
Of the south In such large numbers.
Mr. Wilbur says:
Whatever may be thought about
some Of the special pleading at the
Lenten meeting in Holy Trinity church
the other day the opinion expressed
that the Negroes should remain In the
south and mainly on the soil Ia sound
But the matter needs some explanation
and will have to be more carefully stud
led than It has been before the point
Of real calculation Ia reached.
At the present time there is an exc
dus Of Negroes from the rural districts
along two lines Of outlet-6rst. from
the agricultural districts Of Dixie to
the southern cities, and, second, from
corresponding sections to the already
congested commercial centers In the
north.
The natural question Is, Why should
there be any exodus at all? 1t must
be remembered. however. that the Ne
gro emigrates In obedience to the same
motives which took the Israelites out
Of Egypt and brought the Puritans and
Quakers to America. That motive was
and Is a very living desire for an I'M
proved condition.
It may be taken for granted that
this exodus cannot be stopped by mere
preachments. The Negro will not be
kept on the soil unless the causes
which lead to his leaving are remov.
ed. In the absence of proper economic
inducements and In the presence OF
certain perils and prosecutions the
most energetic Negroes will leave
many of the agricultural regions Of the
south on the first opportunity.
The whole case Is not covered when
we talk about educating the Negro.
The whites also need educating. In
using this word we mean vastly more
than the removai OF llliteracy, but rath-

Secret Graeco- Servian Treat,
PEOPLE cRUclFIED. Others Hacked to Pieces-AIIeeed Out rages by Bulearians.

Saloniki, July 14.-The sacl<ing and burning of the town of Seres by the defeated Bulgarian army and the ac- companylng outrages on women and atrocitie& on men were fully confirmed today in a despatch from a well known Greek correspondent.
 The retreating Bulgarian soldiers, he telesraphs opened a cannonade with four field guns from a, hill above the town on Friday. At the same time bands of Bulgarian soldiers led by their officers secured the streets, first pillaging the stores and houses and then drenching them with petroleum and setting them alight until the great CT part of the town was blazing.
 The soldiers were accompanied by the notorious revolutionary, Col Yam koff, who with other former officers of the Bulgarian army was very active inAdacedonia in 1903a
 Many people were crucifed, hacked to pieces or burned alive by the Bull garians, who committed incredible outrages on women of all ages, many of whom died from the effects.
 The condition of those who escaped is lamentable. Rich merchants are dy- ing of hunger, while wretched moth CTS, trembling with cold, are trying to find covering and food for their naked and starving children.
 The situation is deperate, as all the pharmacies were burned down and there is a total lack of medicines for the sick and bandages for the injured
 The Greek authorities in Saloniki are rushing foodstuffs, clothing and medi- cines to the stricken town.

 The Yale men were William s. Howe, Jr, of Dorchester, Mass, for mer Yale swimming star and football player, who was graduated last June, and Lew Wallace. IT., of Indianapolis Ind, a son of General Lew Wallace, and senior in the Sheffield Scientific school.

SLAPPED IN THE FACE,
 KICKED INTO THE GUTTER
How Farmers are Being Used by De-
 mocrats, Says McCumber.

Washington July 14.-Senator Me- Cumber, of North Dakota, opened the Republican assault on the Democratic tariff revision bill in the Senate today, defending the farmers of the country against the free listing or great re- duction in tariff rates on Agricultural products, and charging the Democratic party with deliberately kicking the American farmer into the gutter"
 ''In this year 1913" said Senator Me- Cumber, addressing the Democrats you are about to commit a greater crime against the American farmer than has ever been perpetrated by any political party against any class of people during any period of recorded history.
 with violent hands you are about to strip him of every advantage which the changed conditions of home supply and demand were about to yield to him. You have declared that he is an outcast in the land which he has made, the only one of all the classes of Am erican people who is not entitled to any consideration at your hands. You have insulted his sense of fairness, slapped him in the face and kicked him into the gutter"
 The tariff bill, Senator McCumber declared, seemed to have been "con- ceived in animosity against every Am- erican industry that needed protection" with the American farmer as the special object of his choler and hate"
 ''Is it because of his past political utilization that you are heaping upon him the vengeance for all your previ- ous defeats? Or do you consider your self to be the instrument through which Providence is to work it's punishment because in the last political campaign he forgot the faith of his fathers and went chasing after a strange god, with cloven hoofs and branching antlers? If he is to be punished for his heresy, are you the proper person to inf1ict the punishment? You are the benef- ciary of the farmers infidelity to his own party last fall. And for you now to. be his executioner for the offense of bein~ misled by you strikes me as be- ing one of the most cold blooded pro- positions I have ever heard of''

MRS. PANKHURST ESCAPES
 FROM LONDON POLICE Got, Away in Taxicab-Now at Her
 Apartment.

London, July 14.-Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. the leader of the suffra- gettes, escaped from the police today under exciting circumstances.
 With Miss Annie Kenney, one of the most ardent of the nlilitants, she appeared this afternoon at 8. meeting of the Women's Social and Political Union
 Both women, although they were their recent hunger strike in prison, delivered stirring addresses. Mrs. Pankhurst announced she would rather die than submit to the government
 My challenge to the government !: is: Give me freedom or kill me- she said.
 Miss Kenney auctioned off two. of her licenses under the ''cat and mouse" act for $3O each.
 The police undertook to arrest Mrs. Panlzhurst and Miss Kenney. Mrs. escaped in a taxica.b. She was pur- sued but so wild were the scenes of disorder outside the pavilion that she got away in the confusion. Late to- night she was at her apartment in Westminster, and the police made no further attempt to place her under arr rest. The fact that three other wo- men were arrested led to the belief that one of them was Mrs. Pank- hurst.
 The attempt to arrest Miss Kenney dressed men and women engaged in hand to hand fighting with the police. Umbrellas and sticks were freely used. The police succeeded in forcing Miss kenney into an automobile and drove her to Holloway jail.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 OF THE UNITED STATES
Mammoth Organization of Business
 Men Contemplated.

San Francisco, July 14.-"To aid every administration by cordial co-op- eration; to draw together in a common bond the business men of America in defense of their good name, and in the creation of an instrumentality through which they may speak as a whole with authority to the executive and to con gress relative to the things which busi- ness needs; to create a force compar- able in every respect to the organized forces of labor, and of agriculture these are the objects of the chamber of commerce of the United States. now being formed. as outlined by Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago. president of the organization.
 MT. Wheeler, expounding his theme here tonight before the San Francisco chamber of commerce and other com Tnercial bodies, said frankly that, aside from natural evolution, another reason for the organization of a national body at this time is the "indiscrininate att tacks made upon business generally; upon the public platform and in the daily and periodical press of the coun- try"
