j. S. MUST ABOLISH
RACE DISCRIMINATION
Ebert Russell Points to Elim-
ination of Arbitrary Stand
ards Toward COlOred PeO-
pies.

The elimination of arbitrary stan
dards by Anglo-SaXons in their deal
ings with cOlored races must be
brought about, according to Ebert
Russell, who spoke at the North A
Street Friends church Sunday after
noon. This problem, with that Of the
living wage problem and other social
and religious questions, must occupy
the time and receive the consideration
of the Anglo-Saxon race, repla cling the
material work of the pioneer in clear
ing the frontier lands and using their
energies individually.
Mr.. Russell believes that the Japan
ese question in California can best be
solved through the application Of the
Christian idea of brotherhood than by
laws which inCite the Japanese nation
and augment the smoulderings Of the
international question, which may still
be settled peaceably.
whenever the AnglO-SaxOn race
meets the cOlOred race, there exists a
strife which is brought about through
an artificial distinction, not based on
achievement, but upon arbitrarily set
standards,' Mr.. Russell said. I'm our
foreign mission work among nations
of colored races, we are teaching
\ III SLleill III CtIltl LlCIl W III ltllll
to eliminate this idea as far as the
bulk of the races in touch with the
missionaries is concerned.
Pioneers Work Done.
This is the big work of the Ameri-
can people. The pioneers who have
cleared the land, started our cities
and opened the pathway for the pres
ent degree of civilization in the cOun-
try have passed, but the American
people have some pioneers work to
| take the place Of that material labor
Because the pioneers We're so busy
in their industrial work they believed
one man was as good as another for an
office, they tolerated the spoils sys,
tenn and other political evils. Cooper
alton in political reform by the pio-
neers Of new era OF politics worked
to bring about the elimination of those
evils"
In speaking of the living wage prob.
lem, Mr. Russell said that while this
country has abolished slavery and
fights to abolish slavery in other coun-
tries, it has not furnished wage to
/ its laboring men sufficient to provide
food clothing and comforts of the
| slave For this great problem no logi-
cal remedy has been found, Mr. Russell
said, and the nation must work to
solve it.

WASHINGTON, June S-President
Huerta of Mexico has backed down
and rescinded his order for the block
ade of the port of Tampico. Formal
announcement of the annullment of
the order was given to Secretary Bry-
an by Signor Riano. the Spanish am
bassador, here today.
For some time before the important
news was taken to Secretary Bryan.
reports were current that the dictator
had rescinded his order, which was
aimed to prevent delivery of the large
cargo of arms and ammunition con-
signed to the Constitutionalists at
Tampico.
A heavy load was lifted from the
minds of the administration officials
by this news. During the early fore
noon it was feared that Huerta would
force the issue to the extent of pro-
voking hostilities. Influence of the
foreign ENJOYS at Mexico City is be-
lieved to have had large part in fore
ing Huerta to alter his command.

sion that Judge D. w. Comstock of
this city, will be nominated as candi-
date for congressman from the Sixth
district without opposition at the Re
publican convention to be held at Cam

In thanking the Republican county
convention delegates for their action
in indorsing him for the nomination,
Judge COmStOck said that he had
given the question no consideration
ana was not in position to state
whether he. would consent to having
his name placed in nomination.
1t is believed, however, that Judge
COmstOck will accept the nomination
if it is rendered to him, and there is
no reason to doubt that it will not be
rendered to him.
Lynch Is Pleased.
District Chairman 2. J. Lynch, of
Newcastle, was delighted when the
candidacy OF Judge Comstock was sug-
gested and indOrscd by the county
convention. Both Mr.. Lynch and FL
mer Bassett. of Shelby county, former
district chairman, had been mentioned
as prospective candidates for the con
gressional nomination. Mr.. Lynch
says he will gladly withdraw in favor
of the veteran Wayne county jurist
and it is believed the same action
would be taken by Mr.. Bassett
Il believe Judge Comstock is the
ideal selection for the Republican con
gressional nomination" Mr.. Lynch re-
marked to newspaper men. He has
an unimpeachable record, is q man of
brilliant attainments, a splendid ora

members of the Indiana bar. He is

pellate court and last month retired

KROMA MAY STAND
TRIAL FOR LARCENY

Herman krOma, arrested recently
for stealing "a horse and buggy,.is to
be tried on a charge of grand larceny,
if the court accepts the suggestion of
Prosecutor Keller.
This was decided today at a meeting
between Keller, Frank Strayer, an at
tOrney representing krOma, and State
ParOe Agent Prince.
Prince was OF the opinion that it
would be d mistake not to punish krO-
ma for his latest OffenSe, his third
one, because of the possible effect it
might have on the discipline at the
JefTersonville reformatory, and on the
other paroled convicts from that in
stitution.
He opposed. however, trying kroma
on a charge of being an habitual of
fender and advised prosecution on a
grand larceny charge, which carries
with it q term of from one TO four
teen years. He said that if Kroma
made a good record at the prison he
would be paroled again at the end of
the first year, and that Richmond peo-
pie interested in his case could then
send him to a farm.

154 PUPILS ENROLL
At SOCIAL CENTER

When the school bell rang at 500
o'clock this morning at Whitewater
school, there were 154 pupils in their
seats, ready to enroll in the first
months experimental session of Rich
mond's summer industrial and social
school.
The children were partly organized
and arranged into classes today, but
because the system is different. it will
be impossible to do active school work
for day or two. The subjects which
will be taught in the regular school
curriculum aside from industrial
work, have not been decided.
Many Of the pupils returned this aft
ernoon to participate in the plaS'
ground work under Prof. d. ID. Ram
sey. This will also be organized and
carried on systematically although in
formal playing without schedule will
be permitted at certain hours.

Mr.. Tiff believes at least the noisy
part of Richmond's S Fourth celebration
is gradually being eliminated although
display fireworks have not declined
in popularity.
Picnics Replace Noise.

FIND ASSESSMENTS
TOO Low IN JACKSON
Members of Review Board
Consider Sweeping In
crease of Is Per Cent.

All property in jackson township
may be raised Is per cent III the as
sessment made this spring by the
township assessor, according to Ben
jamin Price, of the Board OF Review
today. This statement was made after
the board had found all corporations
were assessed 25 per cent lower than
last year, and that the assessor is a
candidate for office next year.
Only two Cambridge City corpora
tons were passed on today The
American Casket company was raised
from $4,100 to $3.50, and the assess
ment Of the casket company was in
creased from the assessor s figures of
$6,310 to S7,o50. Last year the corpo-
ration was assessed at $3.50.
1t will be impossible for the board
with only thirty days session and
part OF that gone, to go into specific
cases in Jackson township, but the
investigation which is now under way
may result in the sweeping raise being
made in all assessments.
The revelation of the Jackson town
ship situation came about this morning
in the regular routine of business. The
board started going over all corpora
ti0n assessments and finding the big
differences, looked especially into
those of Jackson township. No Rich
mond corporations have been con
sidered.
"In speaking of the decrease in as
sessments Mr.. Price asid
There is only one way to remedy
the evil. AS long as the office of as
SCISSOR is made political one, the
year closing the term of the assessor
will mean lower assessments. Not all
assessors do this, but it is so frequent
that the office should be made ap-
pointive under some higher official" ,"

MAYOR ISSUES ED|CT
Threatens Prosecution Un-
der Garbage Law.

Mayor Robbins announced today
that after this week further violations
of that section of the garbage ordi-
nance prohibiting the throwing of pa
per in streets and alleys would result
in prosecutions.
He instructed drivers of city wag-
ons to report to him personally all
people who are in the habit of dump
ing waste paper into streets and al
legs. and ordered that paper and other
combustible material be collected sep
arately and taken to the crematory
to be consumed.
"Combustible refuse must be placed
in separate receptacle from this time
on" said the mayor, "and one wagon
will be detailed to collect this kind OF
trash"

Sheriff Bayer of Wayne county, and
Sheriff Line Of Union county, no eff

up to noon today to apprehend him.
A relative Of Holler yesterday in
formed Mayor Robbins, who was in
Abingdon, that the man had been seen
near the town that day and was
heavily armed carrying rifle and
two reyolvers. He is said to be an
expert marksman.
Holler is believed to have placed

property of Butler Rodenberg 1t is
supposed Holler harbored some fam

Saturday Sheriff Line of Union

quests Of Sheriff Line to take Holler
into custody and return him to the
asylum, not believing il safe to per
nit him to remain at large any longer.
The second request was made after
the spring poisoning incident and was
ignored by the sheriff. The first re-
quest was made several weeks before.
Line went to the Holler farm and
talked with the man but failed to ap-
prehend him. Notwithstanding the fact
that one of the greatest alieniSts in
the country, DR. Smith. believed Holler
should be returned to the state hos

pressed the opinion that Holler was
not insane.
An Abingdon friend of Holler saw
him Saturday and said Holler had in

money but said she had refused to
do so

u. s. WINS THREE
BIG CONCESSIONS

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June 3.
Three important victories have
been won by the United States in
connection with mediation proceed
ings. They are:
Huerta has withdrawn his re-
fusal of a pledge to quit the presi-
dency.
Huerta has remained a party to
the negotiations despite the ignor-
ing of his demands that bi-parti-
san provisional government be
chosen to succeed him.
Huerta has backed down in re-
gard to the Tampico blockade.
Only one more victory is needed
by the United States to make me-
diation a success. 1t is working to
persuade Gen. CarranZa to agree to
an armistice. The mediators be-
lieve the American government will
win.
