The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1916-04-21
JUDGE BEN B. LINDSEY
WRITES ". c. JOHNSON
Juvenile Court Judge Was To
Have Lectured In Paris
Last Winter


the Paris Lyceum Union, is in
receipt of an interesting letter
from Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of
the Juvenile court of Denver,
Colo, who was to have lectured
here during the winter under the
auspices of the Baraca- Philathea
Lyceum Course, but was unable
to do so because of his absence
in Europe with the Henry Ford
peace party. y
In order not to disappoint
patrons and season ticket holders,
the Lyceum Union has secured
the Kellogg-Haines Singing Party
who will appear at the Dixie
theatre Tuesday night, April rs.
This is a high class attraction in
every way.
Judge Lindsey's letter to Mr..
Johnson is as follows:
My Dear Sir:
In answer to your letter re-
garding the lecture dates:
1t so happens in the life of
every public man that some mat
ter of public interest or public
demand will arise that interferes
with lecture engagements. In
my entire experience have
never had but one occasion of
that kind.
There was a positive call for
me in my position in connection
with children's work i not only
in this country, but in other
countries : to go to Europe. Over
500, 900 children died in Poland
and Serbia last year because of
the war. An effort was being
made to get the Allies to ''open
the door" between us to get
supplies into those countries that
might result in saving thousands
of children. | was appealed to
by people from Poland, both
men and women of great national
and international distinction, to
do som ething to help these child
rem and to help 'open the door. 3"
We had resisted these importu-
mites until they became pitiful,
when, suddenly, the Ford peace
expedition offered an opportunity
to pay the expenses of such a
work that was unable to stand,
and did not care to ask the re-
lief committees to shoulder and
at considerable expense, Mr..
Ford sent us into some of the
belligerent countries, where We
not only got important data, but
succeeded in getting into com.
munication with two of the bel
lligerent governments in regarc
to this matter. AS a result Of
that work it is more than likely
that thousands of children will
| be helped. Already on that trip
through the expenditure O
thousands of dollars by my wifi
and me, on behalf of Mr.. Ford
1--we have relieved a great deal o
suffering and made the part W,
took in the trip thousand time
worth while.
In some of these belligeren
countries we found my book
and reports translated by thu
governments and used, and i
gave us an sentree that it wa
said, few others could have had
and an opportunity for service
that, it was insisted, was mucl
greater in our case than in tina
of others.
| We expected this trip to taxi
tamuch shorter time than it di(
take. One of the ships that WI
had booked passage on, strucl
a mine in coming from England
to Holland and the people barrel.
escaped with their lives. Another
ship we took passage on, from
England also struck a mine ant
the people narrowly escaped will
their lives. We were delayed
almost a month in getting reason
ably safe passage home. Thu
result was because of this service

PARIS, Aug. 15.-The Italian
dTeadnaught Leonardo Da Vinci was
sunk today in the harbor of Taranto.

concussion originated in the kitchen
of the warship, and resulted in the
death of three hundred of the crew
who were on board. The full compile
ment of the Leonardo Da vinci was

ing officers and men.
Press dispatches telling of the dis

navy, displacing twenty-five thousand
tons and carrying a main battery of
thirteen twelve-inch guns. The warship
was heavily armored and recognized as
one of the frst-line ships of the
royal navy.

F. ?. JONES IS A
CANDIDATE FOR

F. P. Jones. a well known cotton
nan of Leslie, has announced his can
didacy for the legislature. He author
ized the Times-Recorder to say that he
would be candidate.
Mr., Jones will make his formal an
nouncement later. He is well known
to the people of Sumter county, and a
prominent citizen. His business ex-
perience would wei qualify him to rep
resent Sumter in the legislature.

election.
Sumter county politics is now ex-

ORDERS HELD UP
FOR MOVING THE
NATIONAL GUARDS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 15.-
The war department today suspended
orders issued this week for all remain
ing modified units of the National
Guard to proceed without delay to the
Mexican border. Department and bri-
gade commanders were informed early
today of the determination of the war
department to leave the troops at their
respective stations for the present, and
will be guided by instructions sent
them.
The cancellation of previous orders
to proceed to the border is interpreted
here as being precautionary meas
ure and not that an unfavorable turn
has been encountered in the railroad
strike situation.

reached point within thirteen miles

Yoused there since the beginning of the
war with Italy, today sailed for an un-
known destination. News of the fleets
movement reached Geneva late today
in press dispatch from Buchs, Swift
zerland, near the Austrian frontier.
The strength of the Austrian feet at
Trieste is nearly as great as that of
the Italian feet guarding the Adriatic
ard a great naval battle may occur
unless the Austrians decide to seek
another harbor in which to hide from
the Duke of Abruzzis men-of-war, re-
inforced by an unknown number of
French battleships and cruisers.

POLICE At WORK
On MAN HUNT FOR
AGENTS OF LABOR

The police department has not re-
Tented in their watehfulness and efforts
brought to climax Saturday in an
effort to ascertain the parties who are
in charge of the movements of ne
groes out of Americus and Sumter
county. 1t is expected that there will
be interesting developments within a
short time.
The expectation of the negroes Is a
topic for interesting conversation
throughout the city and county. and
the farmers are particularly interested
in the outcome of the investigation.
Northern Work Unsuited.
The work of emigration agents in
the South is attracting attention over
a wide section of the country, and the
following interesting article appears in
the Manufacturers Record, of Baltf-
more, well known publication:
AN exodus of negro laborers from
Savannah, Ca, to the number of 1000
ir one movement is arousing the or
ganized opposition of Savannah's city
officials to the activities of Northern
corporations, who have sent agents in
te the South to lure laborers North
with the inducement of higher wages.
More than $500 negroes were at the
railroad station when the 1890 labor
ers were put on board two special
trains destined for points along the
Pennsylvania railroad, in whose in
terest the movement was instigated.
"Other railroads in the North, where
la shortage of labor exists on account

made, are also reported as having rep
resentatives in the South, and grave
alarm is expressed over the results
which are likely to follow in the wake
of a serious shortage of labor in parts
OF the South.
The strict enforcement of present
laws and ordinances and the enact
ment of still more stringent regula-
tions are proposed in the places threat
sued with labor depletion. 1t is de-
clared that the invading agents have
inspired the negroes with sort of
frenzy for work in new fields, in spite
OF the fact that negro laborers from
the far South almost invariably find
that they are unsuited for the rigors of
winter in the North"

EIGHT HOUR DAY|
Plan MAY STOP Al
NATIONS STRIKE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 15.-
After conference between President
Wilson and representatives of the Rail-
way Managers association today, it be-
came known that proposal is under
consideration by the railroad repre-
sentatives whereby the operating COM
panies may accept the principle of an
eight-hour day, leaving its application
to be worked out by the interstate
commerce commission, or some special
commission may be organized to put
into effect the details of the princi-
PIE agreed to.
Early today union leaders had is
sued no further statement relative to
the situation, but the fact that the rail-
read managers are known to have un-
der consideration the proposal referred
to in the foregoing paragraph, it is
believed in certain quarters that rep
resentatives of the four brotherhoods
OH Monday indicated their willingness
to accept such settlement as that now
proposed.
