TRAIN IN THE SOUTH.
WAR DEPARTMENT WILL SEND
NEGROES TO SOUTHERN
CAMPS.
Secretary Of War Baker Decides That
South Is Best Place for Negro
Troops and Also That North Would
Resent Sending Negroes to That
Section.

Washington, Sept. 4.-That Secrc-
tary Baker has changed his mind
about sending negro troops to the
National Guard camps Of the South
to be trained was an admission that
the war department head made today
to Congressman s. Hubert Dent, Jr,
chairman Of the house military affairs
committee, who protested about a
battalion Of negroes from Ohio being
sent to Montgomery and a large num-
ber to Admission. While Mr.. Baker did
not 60 into details as to the other
points in the Department of the
Southeast from which protests have
emanated as to the plan to send ne
gro guardsmen to the South to be
trained, he intimated that the orig
inal plan to send them there would
be carried out.
Mr.. Dent told the secretary that
Gen. Mann. while head Of the militia
bureau, had assured him that no nc.
groes would be sent to Montgomery,
and to other Southern points Mr..
Baker said that was true, but that he
himself had changed his mind on the
subject and now that some were
already in the South. he had advised
their commanders to see that they OBJ
served all Southern laws. such as the
Jim Crow statutes and certain Gus
toms as to privileges Of equality.
Secretary Baker said that the
Northern people would resent sending
the negroes to the North after they
had been ordered South and that 1t
might enkindle the racial feeling that
has already witnessed serious out
breaks and to send them North
would cause trouble among the ne
gro troops.
Mr.. Dent protested vigorously but
to no avail. 1t is now expected tha,
all negro troops will be trained in
Dixie. .,..

Mayor Thompson and his friends
in the council made a stubborn pre-

They made an unsuccessful attempt
to have the subject referred to the
committee on schools for considera-

Mayor Thompson at oae time un-
successfully urged the aldermen to
take a recess until evening Alderman
Michaelson led the opposition to the
resolution and resorted to every pos
sible technicality to delay the pro-
ceedings. Alderman Toman and half
dozen others spoke for the majority
and scored the action of the mayor
in encouraging pacifist agitation in
Chicago. The supporters of the mayor
included two Socialist aldermen.
