The Brewers are Willing to Reform the
Saloon - Who Will Reform the Brewers?

The brewers profess great soicitude about the
reform of the American saloon. The only effect OF
their agitation upon impartial mind is to convince
it of the need of such reform This need grows more
apparent every day, but no sane man believes tor
that the brewers the right people to bring
about such reform sincere in their desire
for it.
All this talk of theirs about making the American
saloon decent place of resort reminds us of an old
quatrain that runs something like this
"The River Rhine it is we'll known,
Washes the City of Cologne,
But, oh We gods and powers divine
Who now will wash the River Rhine"
1t is exceedingly doubtful if the saloon needs re-
forming any more than the brewery.

Negroes Prosper Wonderfully In
Dry States

The negroes of the country at the present time
own property worth about $I,Ioo,oooooo, according
to Washington estimates. In 1909 their wealth
amounted to about $57o,oooooo.
1t is remarkable that this wonderful increase in
prosperity began at the time when Prohibition wave
swept the South bringing statewide Prohibition
in many cases. and drying up vast territories in the
remaining license states.
The negro is a cotton-maker par excellence. Here
tofore he has made good cotton for the white man and
poor cotton for himself. Hundreds of thousands of
colored men who formerly owned Struggling patches
cultivate strong and sturdy plants and those who
formerly raised hound dog and whisky habit are
raising family of pigs and a new appetite for
industry If he is let alone by the wholesale liquor
dealers of Cincinnati and Louisville and Jacksonville,
the negro seems in fair way to settle their prob
lem.

WILL FISKE BE CHIEF
 OF NAVAL OPERATIONS
Believed in Naval Circles Rear .Ad- miral Will Not Be Selected for
 New Post By Sec. Daniels.

Washington. April 3.-Speculation was rife in naval circles today as to whom Secretary Daniels would select for the new and important post Of chief of the bureau of naval opera . tions. This post was authorized at the last session of congress to take the place of aide for operations, of which position Rear Admiral Bradley A. Ffske has asked that he be re- lieved.
 The question of a choice for the new post, which will correspond to the position of chief of staff of the army, and as to what duty Admiral Fiske will be assigned will not be de- termined pending conferences be- tween Secretary Daniels and officers of high rank, and final consultation with President Wilson. Admiral Fiske still has a year to serve before retiring from the active list.
 The action of Admiral Fiske in re- ouesting that he be relieved as senior military advisor to the secretary of the navy evoked considerable com ment in naval quarters. He gave no reason for the step in his written com munication to Secretary Daniels and he declined today to throw any light on fne subject. The belief has gen. erally prevailed in naval circles, how ever, ever since the admiral testified before the house naval committee at the last session in which he expressed views different from those Of Secre- tary Daniels as to the preparedness of the navy that he would not bc chosen for the new post Of cnief Yc naval operations.

 WHILE AT HIS POST
knickcrbockcr Express from Boston to New York Runs WIld-Fircman
 Brings Train to Destination.

New York, April 3.--With it's engi- necr dead at his post, the Knicker- booker express. bound from Boston to New York, on the New Haven" road. ran wild for nearly a mile just outside this city last night.

 The engineer. Charles A. McCon- vile, a veteran in the New Haven's" service, had leaned out of the electric locomotive after passing Woodlawn to examine the trucks, when another pas senger train struck him, killing him instantly. The noise of the impact attracted Henry Greszcr. the fireman, who stopped the train and later brought it to New York.
 McConville was IS years old and lived in New Haven, where he leaves a wife and three children. He had been in the "Ncw Havcn's" service for thirty years.

Bethlehem Steel Makes Recovery Of
 Two POnlS From Decline.

New York, April 3.--Considerable activity attended today's short market session. but more than a proportion ate share of the trading was in is- sues of secondary importance. Local fractions were strong on revival of dividend rumors. Rock Island moved in uncertain fashion, declining almost three points and then recovering. Canadian Pacific and Fries reflected absorption. Other stocks were com paratively inactive until the final dealings, when they recorded sub stantial advances. Bethlehem Steel made a further recovery of two points from its recent decline. Less promi- nent specialties gained from 2 to 9 points. The closing was strong.
 Bonds were irregular.
 Wall Street. 1o:30 a. m.-Market leaders opened with general advances today, but soon reacted. while the spe- cialties, notably motor shares. again moved upward though in more mod crate degree.

April S.-Will the worlds heavyweight championship change hands here April when Jack Johnson. the title holder, and Jess Willard, the Kansas cowboy, clash in a scheduled forty-five round bout? That is the question that is puzzling fistic fans throughout the length and breadth of these United States. The colored champion is a cunning, shrewd master of the art of cleverness, and one of the greatest things he does in the ring is to take care of himself. He is acknowledged to be a great de- fensive fighter, but he Is not one whit the less famous when it comes to of fensive milling. Willard lacks the ex-
