REFUSES TO BE INSULTED

Despite the fact that he had been
invited and urged to attend YIN
c. A. conference of employees Of the
organization, Theodore Pettyjohn,
physical director of the eolored
branch, was asked into the kitchen
when the call for dinner sounded.
Following his guide from the main
dining room prepared for the other
conferees back to the kitchen. Mr.
Pettyjohp politely informed the lady
that he would not eat He turned
his back on the victuals prepared
for him and walked out. He then
looked up the gentleman who had
insisted on his being at the confer
ence and told him few things.
The gentleman tried to defend
himself by telling Pettyjohn that
he ought to want 10 eat with his
own people. and that Booker T..
Washington ate in kitchens. Mr..
Pettyjohn, seeing that the Christ
ian" could not understand the prin-
ciple of the matter, left the confer
ence, and walked FIVE miles on an
empty stomach When he reached
the city limits he boarded a car.
At this conference all present sat in
the same room, read the same
Bible, declared that Christ and his
teachings were the salvation of all
men; YET when the dinner bell rang
Christ and his teachings were for
gotten. Pettyjohn was the only
colored delegate, aud fearing some
unpleasantness, although it was
Christian conference, attended only
after two insistent invitations.

ALASKA CoMMITTEEMEN WILL
 SEND PROXIES.

Zina R. Cheney, of Juneau, Demo. cratic National Committeeman for Alaska, will be unable to attend the meeting of the national committee in Washington, December ', for busi- ness reasons. It was learned his proxy will be held by J. Bruce Kre- mer, of Butte, the committeeman for Montana MT. Cheney favors Dallas. Texas, as the place for holding the national convention, and MT. Kremer will be so instructed.
 Our former townsman, William s. Bayless, Republican National Con- mittee for this territory will not go to Washington to attend the G. 0 P. meeting on December 14, and the proxy will be held by Milford B. Hoggatt, of Summit, New Jersey, for mer governor of Alaska.
 Chicago will undoubtedly be the Republican convention city, and the contest for the Democratic conven- tion likely will be waged by St. Louis and Chicago, although Dallas has appropriated $1OO,OOO to cam paign for it and may win out. The national committees decide where the conventions shall be held.

4 TRAP GUN WAS LATCHSTRINC
 THIS CABIN

Somewhere in the Tolovana there is a man who is unworthy to be called such. Certainly he is not an Alas. kan Surely he does not know the | first rudiments of the laws of hu. manity. Without any feelings, with out any sense of shame, he must live the life of an outlaw and a hermit, for no man who knew him would dare to speak to him in public if the pub lie knew who he was. This man Is the man who lives in a lonely cabin, away from the world, the only shel- ter for miles around.
 To this little cabin on the banks of the Tolovana river two weary mushers plodded not so very long ago. They knew that they would find shelter for the night, and as they did not have the necessary tools with which to siwash 1t, they made an extra long mush to reach this haven of shelter.
 But what did they find there They found tackled on the door a sign That sign informed the reader that there was set on the inside of the cabin trap gun, and that the first man who opened the door would lose his head for doing so.
 This is not a fair sample of the Alaskan prospector or trapper or miner or anyone Alaskan. This is not even a fair sample of a human being. Had the night been a bitter cold one, had the biting north wind been blowing those two Alaskans who mushed many miles to seek shelter might have perlshed from cold, or might have been driven to taking a chance and died at the roint of a gun.
 Whether there waS Tn that cabin a loaded gun as the sign said there was or not, is immaterial The thought is there, and the man who put that sign there would put the gun behind it to back up the sign. The spirit is there, and everyone knows that is not the Alaskan spirit.
 If Captain E. j. Smythe and his travelling companions had been forced to siwash it in 40 below zero weather they might have destroyed the cabin. AS it is they slept under the heavens that night and mushed on, leaving the sign where they found 1t, unmo- tested, a monument to a brute mas querading as a man, but who will never, and never can, be considered as an Alaskan.

Atlanta, September 1s.1The past week saw the slightly deferred, but not unex- pected climax to the 1915 Southern league pennant race. for on. Saturday the New Orleans club,- which virtually the en- tire season has outclassed the other clubs finally cinched the pennant With the sea son closing next Sunday Birming ham and Memphis now are the attrac- ton in their race for second honors
 zine barons have a three and a half game lead over Memphis, according to unofficial figures published here today, but must finish the season on the road and against stronger teams than play Memphis. The Chicks also have the ad- vantage of playing at home. Birming- ham, on the other hand, is playing much better ball than their rivals for second place. The Barons defeated the Chicks both Saturday and today in Memphis.
 The Barons play in Nashville Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday and play their final series Friday and Saturday in Chat tnooga. after resting Thursday Memphis takes on Mobile the first three days of the week and winds up playing the Crackers Friday. Saturday and Sunday. The other four teams end the season with New Orleans playing in Nashville Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Mobile playing in Little Rock Friday and Satur- day, a double header being scheduled for Saturday
 The pennant won this season by New Orleans Is the fortth that Pelican teams have taken since the reorganization of the Southern association in 1901 It was in 1905. 1910 and 1911 that Pelican teams took the coveted honor, which they won again this season
 Aside from the decision in the pennant race there were two other events of note during the week. The Atlanta club for the first time this season slipped into the first division, at the same time ac- quiring percentage of games won of .5oo defeat next day, however, put the Crackers back below ..50O and into the fifth place in standing-
 The other noteworthy event was when Pitcher Clark of Chattanooga on Sat urday entered the no-hit-no-run class. This was in the second game of dou- ble header, both games of which were seven innings. The defeated team was the Crackers, only one of whom reached first base. Third Basen1an Eddie Me Donald, the. Cracker who landed on first received a base on balls. Clark walked no others hit no men. and his teammates played errorless bal, behind him.

 Birmingham and Chattanooga were the only teams which imprpyed their per centage to any marked extent during the week, the Barons having won five and lost one game from Monday through to- day. The Lookouts won five and lost two.

 Chief interest of the week centered in the games at Boston. where the lead was at stake when the Detroits arrived The Red sSox made excellent preparation for the event by beating off an attack by Chicago and shattering the White Sox hopes Detroit, too, was primed for the fray by a succession Of victories over the New Yorks.
 The Tigers opened with an assault or three of Carrigan's star pitchers. which gave them to 1 victory Thus they worked to within a game and half of the lead The next two days told a diff. ferent story. Leonard held the Tiger sluggers in check Friday and they gath- cred only three safe hits and two runs, these last being due to a homer in the ninth by Cobb. Boston had rolled up a seven run lead, mostly at the expense of James, a pitcher on whom Jennings had relied to capture one of the games.
 The best game of the three and one of the most notable ever played in the Amer lean league followed. It was witnessed py more than s7,O0o persons and lasted F innings. The Red Sox won 1 to o. The contest sparkled with brilliant plays and remarkable pitching by Coveleskie and Shore. Thus the Red Sox have won two of the three games, with one more to go. The Detroits now are three and a half games behind. In the three games the Bostons outscored, outhit and outfielded their rivals
 The National race Is still a more com plex affair, although it is hard to figure how the Phillies' lead is to be overcome. Neither Brooklyn nor Boston is ready to admit defeat. however. each counting on remaining within striking distance dur Ing the western trip and heading off the leaders when they are faced in the closing games in the east
 The Phillies only defeats during the week were two shut outs, one by Gin cinnati and the other by Pittsburg. The opposing clubs scored a total of three runs In these games. The Quakers' twirl- ing staff is holding up well. Alexander won twice during the week and again today. while Chalmers and Mayer scored one game each.
 Both Mayer and Demaree, in losing, pitched fine ball. The quality of the teams defensive play was shown in the average of only a small fraction of two runs a game by its opponents.
 The Brooklyns kept pace with the Quak- CTS. their twirlers, too, showing general effectiveness.
