Lad in Trouble for "Borrowing"

(Atlanta Constitution, 6thD

His penchant for newspapers an

serious tangle with Uncle Sans
postal laws. The lad was sent to Jail
yesterday by United States Commits
sioner w. G. Carter to await grand
jury action upon charge Of pilfer-
Ing the contents of lock boxes in his
hometown post Office.
Evidence before Commissioner
Carter, at Moore's hearing yesterday,
was to the effect that the lads pol
icy was to loiter about the post office
corridor and "get onto" various
lock-box combinations by serruptiti-
ously watching their owners open
them, then to open them himself
later on as opportunity afforded.
From one box a $40 check was miss

loss to the post office inspector in
Atlanta, Moore's alleged guilt was
fixed

fact said the Federal officials yester-

ing some distance away, but close
enough to hear warning Shout
from one of the young men. The
Moore boys were telling trees and
Mr.. Russell was hauling them from
the woods, driving two steers.
Lander Moore's statement to the
coroner was as follows:
"Myself and Landy we're cutting
tree down. Mr.. Russell was out
there getting a chain under a log.
He was about thirty feet from us.
We did not know he was there until
the tree began to fall He hollcred

Report of villa Inhumanity.

El Paso, Texas, Oct. 5.-Among
the civilians murdered by, Villa on
entering Cusihuiriachic, according to
an eyewitness of the fight, who is
here to-day, was Caesar Sala, an Ital-
ian by birth, but a naturalized citi-
zen Of Mexico, who was the only
person of foreign origin to escape
from the Santa Ysabel massacre.
Sala, who had store in Cusihuir-
iachic, said the refugees went to
Villa to urge him to prevent the as
sault OF young women by the ban
dts then terrorizing the town.
Villas answer to Sala's pleadings
was bullet.
Sala escaped death at Santa Ysa-
bel through being struck senseless
with the butt Of revolver by Pablo
Lopez.
Another case OF wanton killing at
Cusihuiriachic was reported by the
witness, who said an elderly Mexican
named Valenzuela paid with his life
for his presumption in trying to se-
cure the release OF two young sons
who had been impressed into Villas
band.

BLEASE AT ALLEN UNIVERSITY.
Ex-Governor Makes Address to Ne
groes at Opening Of Institution.

Columbia, Oct. 4.-Despite the
protests Of a number Of well-known
negroes, some alumni of Allen Uni
Versity, Cole l.. Blease, former Gov
ernor of South Carolina, was the
principal speaker at the opening Of
that institution here to-day. He was
introduced and highly lauded by the
Rev. w. D. Chappelle, D. D., bishop
of the "A. NJ. E. Church, who declared
that Mr.. Blease was foremost among
all the Governors of the State. In
asking by petition that the invitation
to Mr.. Blease be withdrawn, the pro-
testants declared: ut will greatly
embarrass our wives and daughters
to have Ex-Governor Blease speak to
them since he has spoken SO harshly
In the courts and on the stump
against the virtues OF the negro wo-
men, and the respect and decency Of
the negroes in general This peti.
ton was ignored and the bishop to-
day was somewhat scathing in his
rebuke of those alumni and former
students Of Allen who had presumed
to dictate the policies Of a great
church.
'Who are they, anyhow" the
high churchman asked. In answer to
his own query, he said: "They are
not known beyond their own back
yards"
In the course Of his remarks, Mr..
Blease boasted that it was he who
cast the deciding vote when George
Murray, negro Of Sumter county,
was made Congressman instead of
Noise, white man also Of Sumter,
a number of years ago. "If ! had
had as honest canvassing board
three weeks ago as passed on the
election of Murray, I'd be the next
Governor of South Carolina. I've
learned that the white people have
not only learned to steal from the
negroes, but that they have learned
to steal from themselves" he de-
cared.
The speaker explained that he had
often been misunderstood by the ne
groes. He charged that the negroes
were chiseled out of a portion of the
taxes which they pay, when it comes
to making apportionment between
white and negro schools. He urged
the young negroes to aim high, to
be truthful and honest, reminding
that "You are coming to higher
things. They can't hold you back"
Rev. R. w. Nance, president of the
university, also Joined in with pro-
longed words of praise and held up
Mr.. Blease and the bishop as worthy
examples to be emulated by the stu
dents of the school. Each, he said,
was known throughout the United
States.
