AFRO-ANER|CAN CULLINCS

Three judges of the United States
circuit court of appeals listened with
profound interest to the plea of Ne
gro attorney. a one-time slave. who
appeared before them In the Federal
building at ST. Louis
Probably few in the courtroom real
lied until he started his argument that
gray-haired Negro sitting near the
front was a noted lawyer who has
appeared before every United States
Judge in the central district in many
famous trials.
The attorney, Turner w. Bell, rep
resented three men who are confined
in the federal penitentiary at Leay-
enworth, Kan. serving sentences on
convictions of conspiracy in the IA
nous structural iron workers dyna-
hitting cases two years ago.
Bell fingered his brief as he sat
listening to the argument of Assistant
United States District Attorney L. S
Harvey of the eastern district of
Kansas, representing the government
He had spoken but few words.
however, when the crowd knew that
such incidents evidently were in the
everyday life OF the Negro lawyer.
The men represented by Bell are
white and were given sentences of six
years at Indianapolis in December,
1912.
They were convicted of being impli-
Gated in more than one hundred dyna-
hitting cases, including the destruc-
ton of the Times building in Los An
geles, in half of the states of the
United States. They were at one time
officers of the organization of which
j. J. MCNAMARA was a member and
who is now serving a life sentence
in California.
Bell represented the men in the
United States district court in Kansas
last July and was defeated He ap-
peaied.
Bells chief contention is that the
men could legally have been convict
ed on but one charge under the re-
vised statutes of the United States.
and that the maximum penalty should
have been but two years in the peni-
tertiary or a fine of $4,000. They
were charged with having transported
dynamite throughout the country, and
with the blowing up of bridge at In
dianapolis.
Bell has been a praeticing attorney
in Leavenworth % years. His hobby. :
he said. is appeal cases.
In 1914 he filed 81 appeals in the
United States courts, and was success
full in IL Of them. In but two cases
were his clients Negroes.
Bell was born a slave in Tennessee
He was taken with his parents to
Oskaloosa, Ia, when young. and
earned enough money to carry him
through course in law.
The day he was admitted to the
bar, at Leavenwor.h, United States
Judge Hook was In the courtroom,
and Bell considers Judge Hook one Of
his best friends.
Among famous appeals in which Bell
has been successful was the case of
Charles A. Stevens, a wealthy Negro
boy, of Kansas City, who stole mail
sack containing s55.s00. Stevens SEN
tence was reduced from ten to five
years. As his fee Bell received s13.-

IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED UP
There win Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch
ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for a number Of years.
says
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels of wheat, the pro-
duction of the countries at war, tied
mp. This is about one-half the worlds
total production of wheat, which Is
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce a one-half crop in
the coming year, a deficit Of one bill
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries upon which the filing
of this deficit Of one billion bushels
will rest are the United States. Can
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output of these three countries is only
1,24s, 900. 900, their exportable surplus
would OF course be much less, so 1t
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and 1t
behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can, for
when the war is over and trade begins
10 re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process of rehabilitation.
the demand for ali breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration of peace the farmers
of all neutral wheat-producing coun-
tries viii have ample opportunity to
market their wheat at good prices,
and it may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she is under the protec-
ton OF the British flag, and she viii
not be molested upon the water to
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words, she can
become a far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the present
time"
II the summing-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that Is being made by the Government
of the Dominion of Canada to secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands of the country? Not only are
these lands capable of producing high
class wheat In large quantities. but
cattle, pigs. sheep and horses also do
well. The climate is admirably suited.
