ERNST FE|SE SPEAKS
ON ACT OF GERMANS
illustrates His Lecture With
Slides Showing Growth
From Realistic to Idealistic
School.

lecture, illustrated by stereopti-
con slides. on German art, was de
livered this morning before the stu
dents OF Earlham College by DR.. Ernst
Feise, of the University of Wisconsin
A large number of Richmond resi-
dents interested in the study of art at
tended.
DR.. Feise showed pictures of paint
ings and sculpture by German artists
sketches of the work and style of the
particular artist.
German art" said Mr. Feise, "is
not as we'll known as it should be
among Americans. Their idea of art
is usually confined to the French and
Italian, but the Germans have pro,
duced artists worthy of study and
comparison"
The lecture embraced the important
artists from the time of the realist
school to the recent idealistic school
as illustrated by the paintings OF
Stuck. in which the moral aspect is
emphasized, and the sculpture and
paintings of kenyer. illustrative of the
development of thought and character
portrayal.
Among the other painters on whose
works the lecture touched were Lie
hermann and Tiger of the realistic
school, and Bocklin, who was among
the first to portray the idealistic ten
dency.

chase of a uniform pressure street

SKILLENS DEFENDS
BAN ON own RACE
Mass Meeting Adopts Reso-
luton Censuring BARRIERS
Action At Shop.

The race segregation question reach
ed it's height yesterday at meeting
which crowded the colored Masonic
temple on South Sixth street. AS a
result there is much heat today among
colored people over the question.
Charles Skillens, who recently own
ed barbershop on South Sixth street.
and last Friday placed a sign in his
window discriminating against color
ed people, made a statement in his
own defense before the meeting, and
spent the entire day today in consul
tation with members of the resolu-
lions committee, A. B. Ward, F. NJ
Ovelton and c. r. Richardson.
Skillens claims that the last clause
in the resolution will damage his ho-
tel business. The resolution follows:
Adopt Resolutions.
Whereas. AS our people are striv-
ing for education and the accumula-
ton of property and endeavoring to
make themselves worthy and accept
able citizens; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we regard this pre-
judice as unjust, un-Christian and UNI
necessary.
Resolved, further, that further Sc
gregation in Richmond is unfair and
SoA@uAtSCu W ChoChuCi ldtC ulSCI iii
ination and race hatred, showing a
cowardly fear on the part of the ma.
jority and consequent unfairness to
the minority
Resolved, further that such dis
elimination on the part of any negro
in business is to be deplored and re-
garded as thoughtless and calculated
to belittle his own people
"A R. Ward, Chairman,
OF NJ Ovelton,
&C. r. Richardson"
Skillens puts up a good defense in
his own cause and as he has been a
strong advocate Of movements for the
betterment of the race, his speech yes
terday stirred the colored people who
attended the meeting.
Il opened up first class, up-to-date

ed it on an equal rights basis. l felt
that nothing was too good for the peo-
pie of my race. The first week | had
a good trade of colored people and d
few white people. The second week
the colored people drifted away and
more white people came. The third
week | had about three colored men
a day and a good white trade but not
enough to, make money. Then | saw
they would not support their shop
and l closed it against them"

CHIHUAHUA, Mex, April 20.-Pro-
visional President Carranza, head of
the Constitutional government, has
adopted a "Watchful waiting" policy
in the crisis which Dictator Huerta
has precipitated by by defing the Am
erican government. General Carranza
remained in his office until , O'Clock
this morning reading dispatches sent
from the border. giving details Of the
| break between the United States and
Mexico, but refused to make any com
ment on the situation. One of his
close advisors. however, is authority
for the statement that CarranZa will
soon issue a manifesto covering the
situation from the Constitutional point
of view.
To ForestalI Americans.
Serious complication are threatened
by orders sent to the Constituencies
troops near TampicO to attack the
port Immediately. It is not improb-
able that when the marines are landed
from the American ships to seize that
port they will find the Constitution
aliSts in possession. 1t is Impossible
to conjecture what the result of such
situation would be.
Mystery surrounds plans reported to
have been made for a conference here
between General Carranza, General
Villa and Signor Miguel A. Cuna The
last named is said to be a representa-
tive of President Huerta. who was sent
here from Ell Paso to ascertain on
what terms peace could be arranged
between the Constitutionalists and the
Federals. so that they Nigh unite for
resistance

POLICE DEMAND
TO SEE LICENSES

Uneasy and filled with interruptions
have been the lives of Richmond auto
mobile drivers who have driven cars
during the last few days which did
not carry the 1914 license plates. Pa
trolmen have been looking with sus-
picion on every machine. Stepping
from the corner the patrolman throws
up his hand before the coming car.
Where are your licenses?"
Then follows flow of explanations
and excuses. But the end is always
the same. The patrolmen instructs
the driver to get tags by the next time
he is seen and returns to his post on
the corner watching for other viola
tors. Often drivers are stopped sew
eral times in the space of few blocks
in Main street.

nying Allegations Set
Forth in Complaints.

Judgments against the Fetta Water
Softener company amounting to more
than $1S.20O were executed in circuit
court today, and the papers submitted
to Sheriff Bayer. The suits were filed
by the Second National bank, which
held notes totaling $500; Union Ma
tional bank notes totaling $4,000; Ell
wood Mcclure, notes totaling $4,000,
and Micajah Henley, notes totaling
$500.
Some of the notes were more than
four years old, and very little of the
principal had been discounted. Only
a small amount of the money was Sc
cured by stock in the company.
The company is incorporated and
manufactures water softener device
at factory on North E street. Rob-
ert f. Fetta is president, and f. r.
Fetta, secretary and treasurer. Judg-
ments executed by the attorneys are
as follows:
Second National bank, s5,1e3.97; I'm
ion National bank, $,641,75: Elwood
Mcclure. $4,199.77; Micajah Henley,
$3,03151.
Whether the company will continue
to do business as previously and make
settlement for the outstanding debts
has not been made public. 1t is said,
however, manufacturing of water
softener devices will continue despite
the financial troubles.
The two banks are thoroughly pro-
tected by securities. The two individ-
uals who loaned the Water Softener
company money on time notes have
placed the matter entirely in the
hands of John l.. Rupe, who is acting
a. attorney for the four plaintiffs.
Walter G. Butler, attorney for the
company, filed answers to the COM
plants today. denying the allegations
set forth in the complaints.
