NEGRO SEGREGATION.
Is Basis for Two Referendum Votes in
st Louis To-day.

! st. Louis, Mo, Feb. 29.--Voters of st.
| Louis are deciding at a referendum cleo
/ ton whether two measures, designed to
restrict the negro population to certain
parts of the city, shall become ordinances.
Two bills, both submitted by petition
under the initiative clause of the city
charter, are being voted on. One pro-
vides that negroes shall not move into
blocks occupied wholly by write persons,
or that white persons shall not move into
blocks occupied wholly by negroes.
The other proposed ordinance provides
that negroes shall not move into blocks
in which IS per cent of the houses are
occupied by whites, or that white per-
sons shall not move into blocks in which
IS per cent Of the houses are occupied by
negroes,
If both ordinances are adopted, the Sec
ond being the more stringent OF the two,
would be effective.
Neither ordinance puts any restric-
tion on the ownership of property, but
restricts solely the use of property for
residence purposes. Negroes who are en-
ployed in houses and apartments occu-
pied by white persons are unaffected by
the ordinances Apartment house jani-
tors, who live in the Easements of apart
ments, occupied by whites would not be
affected
Both ordinances contain clauses pro-
viding that the proposed laws shall not
affect persons at present living in blocks
occupied by members OF the other races.
Ii the "whoe bloc" ordinance is
adopted, about 500 blocks in the city
would be available for negro residence. |
If the more stringent or '75 per cent |
is adopted, only about $50 |
blocks will be available for negro resi-
ience.
Attorneys say certain clauses of the /
rs per cent" ordinance are vague, and |
litigation seems certain if either ordi-
nance is adopted.
The ordinances have been strenuously |
opposed by negro organizations and by
many white friends of the race as tend
ng to crowd the negroes into limited
sections of the city The ordinances
nave been supported by many whites
who argue that the property values of
mall home owners are imperilled by the
possibility that the negroes may move
lext door to whites.

Chicago, March IA jump of ten cents

Woman Thought that Lawyer Drew

Camden, n. Y, March Mrs. Celia
Toeffler, who shot William b. Knight, a
lawyer, clerk to City Recorder stach-
house, Monday night, is insane, the po-
lice believe. Their information, they
say, is that she has been acting in a
peculiar manner for two or three weeks.
When Mrs. Hoefiler was brought into
the police station Monday night, she re-
fused to talk, but about midnight told
the police that she had shot Knight be-
cause he had left her out of will which
she said, he drew for her mother week
ago. Yesterday morning, the police say,
she tells them she shot Knight because,
he is the man who draws or inspires the
Mutt and JEFF cartoons.
Unless Knights wound becomes infect
cd, he will recover. Mrs. Hoefiler came
up behind him and fired five shots Four
went wild and the fifth landed in one of
Knights hips, embedding in soft flesh.
The shooting occurred on Cooper street,
IN the fashionable part of the city. Mrs.
Hoetlier carried the revolver in her muff,
and gave no warning. When Mrs. Hoef-
fer turned and ran after the shooting.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Prices on All Commodities Remain Firm
But Changed Little.

Boston, March There is no change
in local prices of butter, cheese and eggs
from those of late last week, but all
three commodities are firm. There is a
scarcity of fresh butter, due partly to
the cold weather, but chiefly to the fact
that there is big demand for milk from
the makers of condensed milk; the firm
ness of fresh goods naturally helps stor-
age butter for the reason that distribu
tors, expecting the usual increase in sup
plies of fresh goods common to this time
Of the year, had not loaded up, and with
fresh goods high, storage butter is at
tractiye. The firmness in cheese is not
due to light supplies or big demand,
but because stocks are in few strong
hands, and these factors expect export
purchaser to take up about all that is
available. Receipts of eggs were not as
large as expected and with close clear
ance of consignments, there was no cas-
ing of prices.

AND CALLS HIM
A "MOCK HERO"
Likens Rights on Seas to
Rights in Mex
leo

Washington March 1.-The Id upon
debate in Congress regarding the dispute
with Germany was blown of yesterday
Disregarding the administration desire
&c prevent open discussion, Represents
tive Mondel.. Republican, Wyoming yes
terday delivered a lengthy address in the
House bitterly criticizing President viii
sons refusal to warn Americans OIL
armed ships.
ANY neutral country that has any re-
gard for the lives of its citizens or it's
own peace and honorary nation that
desires to escape complications that may
lead to war over mere definitions, fine
spun as a spiders web, will not allow
its citizens to wantonly expose them
selves to harm and their nation to the
horrors of war" said Mondell
His speech threatened to provoke an
outburst of debate from both factions in
the House.
"'rhe president strikes pose OF mock
heroism, said Mondell, when did il
become so tremendously sacred an Amer
lean right to ride on an armed ship?
Why this sudden insistence by the adj
ministration to become party to a sit
uation created by greed and sayagery Of
the nations at war that may involve us
in long, bloody and causeless war;"
Mondell declared that thoughtless,
needless, uniformed and emotional per
sons might throw their hats in the air
at the bombastic declaration that no
right of Americans should be abridged,
but that common prudence should cause
the administration to warn Americans
off armed merchantmen.
Mr.. Mondell drew a parallel between
the Mexican and European situations re-
garding the warning to Americans.
"What is the difference between the
fundamental and treaty rights of Amer
leans in Mexico and the alleged rights
for which, with fine Falsta llian fury, it |
is now proposed to contend?" he asked |
What pity the president could not /
have put into action his fine words OF /
to-day instead Of sending our citizens to
abandon their rights, homes and prop /
erty in Mexico.
Il cannot consent TO any abridgement I
OF the rights of Americans, said Presi- /
dent Wilson. How about the rights Of /
American citizens at Tampico? Fifty /
thousand Americans, lawfully, peacefully |
living in Mexico were warned by the
government to abandon their rights and /
promptly compelled to leave because the
government refused to afford them pro-
lection"
Mr.. Mondell declared that civilized ma
tions had never recognized as an estab
lished principle of international law the
right of merchantmen to carry defensive
arms. He pointed to an alleged order by
Winston Churchill in 1915, to British
to attack submarines and
defend the reasonableness OF Germany's
to proceed against armored
merchant ships.

THE WORD "JEH0vAH."
It's Curious Origin Which, by the Way,
is Comparatively Modern.

10 Comparatively Modern.
An interesting feature in 1.-THE Old
Testament In the Light of Today" by
William Frederic Babe, professor of
Old Testament literature and Semitic
languages In the Pacific Theological
seminary, is the following explanation
of the word Jehovah"
1.-THE name Jehovah is of recent
origin. 1t was quite unknown in an
tiquity. AS G. r. Moore has shown, 1t
occurs for the first time sporadically
In the fourteenth century. The word
arose in peculiar way. Until some
centuries after the Christian era the
text of the Hebrew Scriptures was
written with consonants only. The
name of the deity therefore was writ
ten with the four consonants .Jhvh.'
AS Hebrew ceased to be a spoken
tongue, words written consonantally
begun to present difficulties to readers.
This fact led to the invention of sys-
TENS of vowel points, which were writ
ten under and above the consonants.
Long before the invention of vowel
points it had become customary. on ac-
count Of dread of the name of the
deity, to read 'Adonay' UordD wher-
ever Jhvh' occurred. To indicate this
fact the vowels of 'Adonay' were con-
nected with the consonants Jhvh,' the
short a of 'Adonay' by a regular
change becoming e. when connected
with the consonant u Persons ignor-
ant of the purpose of the vowels be-
gan to read them with the consonants.
md thus the preposterous hybrid 'Je-
HoVaH' arose"
