More than five hundred negroes
gathered at the A. B. & A. depot
Monday night looking for the
ephemeral Moses, some unknown
white man, who was expected to
lead the assembled colored labor
ers to northern state, exact des-
tinat:on unknown. When the
train arrived no man with the
tickets showed up and the disap-
pointed crowd of would-be emf
grants returned to their former
homes. Great Indignation was
expressed by the many disap-
pointed negroes but no straight
information could be gotten from
them as to the party who invited
them to meet him at the train.
The sheriff with his deputies
was present to arrest the emigra-
ton agent as soon as he made his
appearance. 1t is possible that
word reached him of this and that
he changed his plans at the last
moment.

10 SAVE DAYLIGHT
IS AIM OF SOCIETY

New York, Nov. 1.-THE
adoption of the daylight saving
plan by setting the clock forward
one hour in the United States
through public concurrence, from
May | to September 30, 1917, will
be considered at a national day.
flight saving convention to be held
here on January 80 and 81 next,
plans for which were announced
here today.
Chambers of commerce and the
boards of trade throughout the
country will be represented and
the governors of all states, the
mayors of $50 cities, the Ameri-
can Bankers association and
state banking organizations, the
American Federation of Labor
and other commercial, financial
labor and scientific bodies will be
requested to send delegates.
The American Railway Asso-
citation has been asked to lend it's
support and will consider the pro-
Ject at its semi-annual meeting
here tomorrow. Individually,
many of the railroad presidents
favor the plap, according to in
formation received by the New
York Daylight Saving committee.
To Confer With Railroad Heads
A committee, appointed by Mar
Gus M. Marks, president of the
borough Manhattan, will confer
with railroad heads and financial
interests before the convention
and will endeavor to learn from
the encouragement of the United
States whether it is constitution
al for Congress to enact a day-
light saving law. The committee
has been informed by the legisla-
tive reference bubreau in Wash
lngton that such a statute is not
constitutional, according to Mr..
Marks. Many congressman have
written individually favoring the
plan.
On behalf of the committee, a
scientific study of daylight saving
as it would affect the United
States is being made by Professor
Harold Jacoby, astronomer of
Columbia University, who will re-
port his findings to the .conven-
ton.
A report prepared by the com
mlttee estimates that the propos-
ga plan would effect a saving of
upward of $40,0OO,OOO in the peo-
pies gas and electric light bills
next summer.
