ANOTHER ECHO OF

WOMAN WHO WAS ABSENT FROM CITY WANTS TO COL.
 LECT FIRE INSURANCE.
Claims Agent of the Globe Rutgers at the Time Declared There Had Been No Policy Issued on Property.

There was another echo of the big fire of last September filed yesterday in the circuit court when in q suit styled Georgia B. Hunt and NJ. M. Wallace ys. the Globe-Rutgers lnsur- ance Company, it is sought to collect $700, the face value of an insurance phich until now is unpaid.
 George B, Hunt sets up in the com plaint that she had a policy taken from the Reese insurance office here in March of 1913, in the sum of $70O, to protect certain property on Nal vern avenue.
 Later she went to Mexico, and ac- cording to her complaint was there when she was advised that big fire had swept part of the city, but ac- cording to the information she re- ceived, the fire had been north of the Arlington hotel, and she did not be- leye her property was lost, though she states she wrote the Reece

THE MOOSE MINSTREL.

The Moose minstrel held at the Princess theater Monday night was, viewing it fairly from all sides, a real success. The minstrel was under the direction of Ralph w. Keim and all the songs were up to date, live and snappy All the end men without ex- ception worked like veterans, which was surprising considering that quite a few were new at the minstrel game.

 Mir. Pentland really tore them up to say the least, and he was backed by a real live chorus on his song, This is the Life."
 The ballads rendered by Messrs. Fisk, Cecil and Bracken were all Al numbers. MT. Fisk's rendition of Gal O Mine was especially notable.
 Bob Houghton, the Joe Emmitt of Yodlers," of course, was a hit.
 Mir. Swain (and boys he's some end man) danced buck and wing and they wouldn't let him go.
 The old reliable Manuel Walters was comical as ever. Manuel is real clever, and as business manager of the show deserves a lot of credit He is a hustler, and before We forget it, "The Memphis Blues," by Elmer HOXie, was really delightful. Elmer was in good voice and put it over real classy.
 In the olio, Miss Walters put over her rag songs in good style, and Mrs Anna Keim delighted her audience with her beautiful voice.
 The closing act by Keim and little Joe Leffer got laugh in every line As a Jew comedian, Jeffer is very clever and last but not least the Hon. Jack Goodine as interlocutor was par-eXcellence.
 All in all. MT. Reader. the show was a winner you missed something if you were not there.

GEORGE SHAW DIES
 ON FISHING TRIP
WAS SITTING BY BUGGY EATING DINNER WHEN STRICKEN WITH
 HEART FAILURE.
Little Grandchild Called Attention to His Condition, But He Died Before Help Could Be Summoned.

George Shaw, age 5i years, of Nal vern, and formerly resident of this city, came to Hot Sprmgs to spend a little vacation with his daughter, Mrs. Ellis Capora, and yesterday when they were on a fishing expedition at the river, Mr. Shaw expired suddenly of heart failure.
 Mir. Capora, his wife, their little child, and the grandfather, had gone for a day on the Ouachita river fish ing, and all the others of the party were fishing, when Mr Shaw sat be- side buggy and began to partake of some lunch. The little grandchild came up about that time and ob- served that the grandfather was not right, and called to tne father and mother, who came quickly, only to find the situation genuinely serious.
 They worked with him awhile as best they could, ana he seemed to respond somewhat to their treat ments to arouse him, but a few min utes later succumbed and was dead before they had opportunity to <end for outside aid.
 The body was brought to the city by B. Gross, and last night Deputy Coroner pr. Wood held an inquest over the remains, which proved about the above facts. Mir. Shaw is well known here, where for some years he engaged in the horseshoeing business.

 The complaint further sets up that Mrs. M N. Wallace went to the Reece agency here and informed that agency that Georgia Hunt had policy on her loss, and asked for fur ther information about it, and that she was informed by the Reece agency that there had been no policy issued from that office to Hunt.
 1t is charged that later Georgia Hunt returned to Hot Springs, with her insurance policy, learned of the loss, and made the claim for the loss through registered letter to the New York office of the Globe-Rutgers, and that she has never been paid. She claims that the delay in filing her claim was made through misrepre- sentation by the local agency.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

The American white man is reap
ing what he is sowing in the Uni
ted States. They can now realize
how the colored man feels always
being lynched, burned, maltreated,
robbed, outraged and denounced
on all sides, because they happen
to be the descendants of slaves or
we're slaves. AS soon as the Amer.
lean white man ceases to heap in
justice and outrages upon the
black man, they can look for bet
ter treatment at the hands of 9th.
ers. The Mexicans have no more
respect for the white man in their
country than the white man has
for the Negro in the United States.
Our advice to the American white
man is to get out of old Mexico
and stay out. They are not down
there for any good to the Mexicans,
Just to rob, steal and cheat them
out of their land and resources.
When the white man learns to re-
spect their own people in the Uni
ted States they can ask people of
other countries to respect them

Editor:
| sent you last week copies of
number of letters which | had re
ceived from the officials of some of
the leading railways of the country
in regard to the conditions under
which colored people are required
to travel in the South. If the
readers of your paper have been
interested in reading the letters
already printed they will perhaps,
care to see this second installment
of the correspondence which, l
believe, with what has already been
printed, covers all the railways do
ing business in the Southern

SOME CAUSE FOR CRITICISM
Mr.. G. V. johnson, President of

Company replies as follows: 81
have read your article and ap-
prehend that there is some cause
for criticism as outlined by you.
Whether or not this applies to the
Norfolk & Western Railway am
at this moment unable to advise
definitely. Permit me to suggest
that in presenting matters of this
character to the public that it
might be well to be more specific
and not include all the railroads
that perhaps have reasonably we'll
provided the same conditions for
the colored people as they have for
the white people know that in
some instances the railroads have
endeavored to do this and [ furth-
er know that generally speaking
it is the purpose of the executive
officers of the railroads which op-
crate in the States in which the
separation of the races is made
necessary in travelling, to do this,
and great pains have been taken
and very considerable amount of
money expended to bring about a
condition that complies with the

demned for the failure of some.
