500 and 700 negroes from various
parts. of Oklahoma are gathered here,
the headquarters of Chief Sans At
rican colony. News that Sam could
not be found in New York today ere
ated CONSERVATION among the colon
lists. Last week they were told to re-
port at Galveston, Tex, on February
10 and prepare to sail for the gold
coast five days later. They were ad-
vised yesterday to postpone their plans
as the ship would not reach Galveston
for three weeks.
Chief Sam has been at work in Ok
lahoma several months organizing the
colony. When he left for New York
with eighteen other negroes week
ago yesterday, it is reported that he
carried with him between $65, 900 and
$4,000 subscribed by his followers to
finance the project.
The negroes have been charged SIS
each to be taken to Africa. They are
to pay their railroad fare to Calves

scheme repeatedly has been denounced
as a fraud.

aWithin the Law"


/ Clara Joel, in the part of Mary Tur-
ner, the leading character in within
the Law gave in most graphic way
/ the Pensacola theatre going public an
insight into the wrong conditions
which prevail in this twentieth CEN
fury time. Little does the general pub
lie appreciate the handicap Of the
working shop girl who works for an
amount wholly inadequate TO supply
her necessary wants, but this IS all
laid clearly before the within the
Law audience.
The story of within the Law is a
strong sermon to the man who en-
ploys men and women; it is an appeal
to the oppressors many of whom do
not realize their unfair treatment Of
the ones who make their fortunes for
them, yet it Is told in such q master
full style that it breathes every day
life and is appreciated by all classes.
There is opportunity in the plot for
nearly a score of different types Of
men and women to take part-those
who are tempted and fall, some who
recover and those who do not; others
who have confidence in mankind and
those trodden upon who fight back as
human beings are wont to do
Miss Joel is an emotional actress of
no mean ability. She grows upon the
audience as all beautiful and captivat-
/ ing creatures do She is the brunette
| type and is we'll supplied with a ward
robe Of rich and becoming costumes.
