Chicago, Jan. 15.-A5 letter protest.

Gals of lakewood cemetery by Jen.
kin Lloyd Jones, pastor of All Souls
church and head resident director of
Lincoln Center, in which Mr. Jones
asked:
"How deep underground does the
color line reach" ="
The query was the result Of a para.
graph in a folder sent out by the Gem
etery officials, which set forth that
the association desired only persons
whose skins were white. Mr.. Jones'
letter reads in part:
"Your very attractive announce

pictures, duly received, for which &C.

"'Chapel. vaults and crematory are

Heaven save the mark Can class
prejudice and racial conceit go fur

does the color line reach? Is it to be
presumed that St. Peter has also pro-

ing Law

Hudson, Wis. Jan. 15.-Whether
Hudson because of the eugenic mar
riage law and the boxing license law
is to be compelled to displace her
Gretna Green affairs with pngilistic
arenas, is the question that is sorely
agitating her citizens, in view of the
boxing matches that to be held here
tomorrow evening. @..
Only n marriage has taken place
here since January l, when the new
law became operative. Boxing threat
ems to flourish, and at any rate, the
matches planned for Thursday night
will be held, it is believed.
Armory Arranged for Bourts.
"Billy" Rhodes, formerly of st. Pau,
promoter of the match between Tom
Gibbons, and Al Worgen, with minor
bouts, has shipped in three carloads
Of chairs and has invested $500 in a
stage at the Armory, where the boxing
matches are to be. staged by the Hud-
o Athletic clubs license from the
state.
Spencer Haven attorney for the
Hudson Civic league acknowledged
today that he had fought in vain be-
fore the state boxing commission
against the holding Of the bouts here.
He said however that an attempt to
prosecute the boxing promoters and
principals might be made under the
old anti.prie fight law. which never
has been revoked. To do so it would
be necessar yto convince District Al
torney N. O. Varnum that an action
alleging prize fighting could be main
tanned.
One Backer Against Plans.
w. H. Phipps president of the First
National bank, and who has been a
financial hacker of the Athletic club
intimated that he does not approve
of tn eclub's boxing plans. In fact, he
has been active as a member of the
civic league, which has opposed the
matches.

to say definitely whether she would
return home, but today she threw her
self into B%radley's arms and sobbed:
II have been a bad, bad girl, papa,
and you r just the truest, dearest
man in the world"
The father was himself almost over

daughters hair. He said that he would
leave for home as soon as the fed
eral authorities decided that the girls
testimony was not, necessary. v

ISLANDS THRIVE
UNDER 0LDGL0RY
National Geographic Report
Shows Marvellous lOSular
Growth

Washington, Jan. 15.-Uncle Sam
now has under possession exactly
5000 islands, supporting a popula-
ton of 100000 or more than the
entire United States a century ago,
according to a report just received
by the National Geographic society,
telling the story of the remarkable
development of those islands since
the American flag was unfurled3 over
them. \
The report shows that their COM
merce exceeds $4,000, 900, or more
than that of the United States in any
year prior to 1850; American CAPT
tai invested in them aggregates ap-
proximately 100000, OqO; they ship
to the United States $l0O,OO0.000 Of
their products every year, and take
in exchange products of equal value.
One School Then; 1900 Now.
When Porto Rico became a United
States possession Is years ago, there
was but one building in the island
erected for school purposes. Today
there are 1900 such buildings. There
were $4,000 pupils enrolled in the pub
lie schools in the first year of Am
erican administration. Now there
are 175, 900. Then there was but one
good road of 40 miles; now there are
1000 miles OF good roads. Produc-
tion of sugar has grown from $4,000
tons a year to 365,0OO. The foreign
commerce u about 100000, 900 a
year; now 1T is nearly $780, 900, 900.
Then the island bought about $780,.
600 worth of American products a
year; now nearly $780, 900, 900.
Hawaii Strides Ahead.
According to the report, Hawaii
has been extremely prosperous since
It became permanently under the Am
erican flag, in 1900. The assessed
value of property increased one.half,
the value of the sugar crop more
than doubled, deposits in banks tire.

| Editor Hethrington Of the Lakeland
Telegram is Of opinion that the Bryan
primary law will require candidates
for the office Of county commissioner
to receive their nomination at the
hands Of the whole county instead Of
oy voters Of their respective districts.
lie says that the district nomination
system was mamfeStly not the pur-
pose Of the constitution which was
to provide i board Of commissioners
elected by the whole people Of the
county to work harmonlou$ly for the
interests Of the county as whole"
Editor Hethrington should not lose
sight Of the fact that never in the his
tory Of the primary has there been
any other method Of election in vogue.
The county commissioners are NOMI-
MATED by the people Of their reSpee-
tive districts, but are ELECTED by
the people Of the whole county. That
was the plan under the old primary,
and the Bryan law makes no change.
Members Of the Legislature are both
nominated and elected by the people |
n their respective districts, but are
expected 10 work tremendously for |
he Interests Of the State as u whole. 1t
They do not always work in exact |
harmony Neither does a board of |
county Commissioners Would they |
work As tremendously as they DO if |
'ther parts o. the county had four
