ExTORTIoN CHARGED TO NEGRO
FOREMAN

How James Morgan, negro fore
man 70 rthe Southern Pacific, on the
docks in Algiers, has for years been
eXhorting 81 each week from men I'M
der him was brought out Tuesday
in the second city criminal court at
the trial of Matthew Locket, E. Sey-
mOur and ]. Coston, three negro la
borers, charged with slandering Nor
gan. Judge O'Donnell upheld the ac-
cused after hearing the evidence, say
ing he thought they had grounds for
circulating the report.
Lockett, Seymour and Coston told
the court they had to pay Morgan 81
each week in order to hold their jobs.
Seymour, who has been working I'M
der Morgan for six years, said that
he was told by Will Jane, Morgan's
"strawman," as he put it, when he
went to work for the Southern Pa
cific that he would have to contribute
81 each pay day to hold his job.
"The first pay day in January,
through a representative" Seymour
declared, Morgan demanded $3.50
from each of the fourteen men under
him to buy a suit of clothes, besides
81 for expenses for Morgan to go to a
convention, and the regular weekly
dollar. Coston, Lockett and I refused
to contribute to the Morgan suit fund,
and as a result was laid off the fol-
lowing morning"
Morgan testified in his own behalf,
and denied that he had extorted
money from any of the men.
Captain L. H. Whitley, general SUI
perintendent OF the Southern Pacific
docks in Algiers, said he had heard
previous complaints against Morgan,
but never could have them substanti-
ated.
Morgan has been connected with
the Southern Pacific for thirty-eight
years, and for many years as dock
foreman.

THE only question presented for

Upon this state Of affairs, where is

IS SIGNED
FOR ANT|-OP|UM PACT
American Minister at The Hague
Joins in Agreement Suppress
sion of Traffic.

THE HAGUE, February Il, via Lon
anti-opium convention of 1912. which
aims at the suppression of the opium
traffic and international traffic in CO.
caine and other noxious and habit
forming drugs. was signed at the Hague
today by Henry Van Dyke. the Ameri-
can minister to the Netherlands; Tang
Using Fou. the Chinese minister, and
NJ Loudon, the Netherlands minister
of foreign affairs.
The afixing of their signatures to
the protocol by these three diplomats
puts the convention into immediate
force for the signatory countries. which
comprise approximately 4lJ.oOo,ooU in
habitants-China, with an estimated
population of $50, ,0OO, 600; United States
100, 100000. and the Netherlands and
her dependencies, $4,000 600.
Ambassador Van Dykes Statement.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
Mr.. Van Dyke said, in referring to the
convention:
THE terrible fact that this enormous
war is in progress should not make
civilized nations ignore things which
operate for the welfare of mankind.
The opium convention aims at putting
a stop to the vicious trade in opium
as an intoxicant and at imposing the
strictest regulation on the legitimate
commerce in opium for purely medic
inal purposes. ] hope that the three
nations which have taken the first
definite step in this direction soon
will be followed by many others.
Congratulates China.
1T is great satisfaction that China,
which has suffered most from the opium
vice, has taken this step side by side
with the United States. which has been
the foremost nation in adopting legisIa-
ton against this vicious trade, and that
Holland with her immense possessions
| in the East Indies should take the same
stand.
The international opium conference
held a series OF meetings at The Hague
in June of last year. some forty-four
nations being represented. Before ad-
journing the conference requested For
eign Minister Loudon to obtain ratifca-
ton from the adhering powers
