Free Train NO'th' Recalls Old "Carpetbag" Day Story, Forty Acres and a Mule"

Greenville, January 3.-(SpeciaL) ) Emancipation Day was one of disap- pointment to about 150 negroes in this section. For some weeks they have heard that a free train to the north was coming through Greenville and would carry a coach for Butler county negroes This train would take them to the north where tempting wages would be paid them, and where they could enjoy unprecedented prosperity.
 Early Monday morning, long before daylight, negroes from all sections of Butler county began to pour Into Greenville. The people of Greenville did not understand why so many ne- groes were coming to town on that day The reason became known, how ever. when the train failed to come.
 At one time their hopes were quick ened, when they heard the regular northbound passenger train blow for the station. Many had begun to say farewells to their friends and rela- tives. when the conductor of the train prevented them from entering day coach being deadheaded to Montgom- cry
 Many of the negroes are in Green ville yet waiting for the special" while others bought tickets to Mont gomery, hoping to find it there, and still others have gone back to their homes. never to be fooled in like man. ner again.

LEAK" INQUIRY IS NOW GETTING DOWN
 TO REAL NAMES
Continued from Page One,

Massachusetts and dozen other repub- licans, Mr. Wood insisted that Repre- sentative Henry had no intention of call ing his committee to consider the original Wood ,"leak' resolution intro duced on December 22. Representative Henry denied this, but said neither MT. Lawson nor Representative Wood had produced or promised to produce any evidence which would warrant such ac- ton.
 Representative Gardner asserted posi- lively that there had been Teak" and that he would favor calling the Pres ident, his stenographers and others who might have been able to furnish ad- vance information regarding the forth coming message.
 Demands by Representative Garrett or Tennessee opposing the resolution for a concrete statement as to the rumors of leaks drew this statement from Rep resentative Bennett:
 The rumor is that MT. Barney Baruch, a member of the council of national de- fense, was the man responsible for this information getting to Wall street, and that 30 minutes before the President S message was made public, he sold on a rising market in steel, 15,O00 shares of steel common short. That is the rumor in New York city, if the gentleman wants names.
 In holding the resolution privileged Speaker Clark disregarded everything it cor tained except two statements at- tributed to Lawson. They were to the effect that members of Congress had been "wallowing in Wall street leak graft for 40 years, and that inauguration of a real investigation would see less than quo rum present in the two houses and a speedy shifting of bank accounts.

"The Birth of a Nation"

'The Birth of a Nation continues to attract capacity audiences to the Jeffer- son theatre, and the scenes about the box office can be compared only to those of last season, when standing room was at premium almost every day, and hun dreds were turned away at the eek-end performances. In the turning away of late corners, history is expected to repeat itself during the current engagement, and the management urges all who have not yet obtained tickets to do so without delay. The Birth of a Nation tells by film
 and music the story of a nation reborn
 through the storm and stress of inter necine strife Instead of the four to six scenes of the conventional play, It's tech nique permits of filming literally thou sands of scenes and covering a wide range of history and charactrs. Slavery, the prime cause of the war; Lincolns' call for troops to subdue the southern states;
 the ball on the eve of Bull Run, and the first triumph of Confederate arms; the devastation wrought by Shermans s
 march, and the awful ordeal of the Siege |of Petersburg; Lees surrender to Grant
 at Appomattox; the assassination of the
 Federal President; the rash radical pol
 icy to the stricken south; the uprising
 of the Ku-Klux-Klan, and the over
 throw of the carpetbagger regme-these
 great factors and events pass in review

eral," said he. then we are in danger, without abatement or modification of the resolution, of stating to the whole world that the Senate or Congress are rang ing themselves on the side of one bel ligerent in an attempt to bring about peace.
 Ut will be observed that the President found it necessary to state that he was emb arrassed in making the proposition as it might appear that he was influenced by the step taken by Germany but a short time previous.
 '"The President said his note was in no way associated with the German note. Unfortunately, different interpretation had been placed upon the note, both abroad and here at home. It could hard ly be- coming at the moment that it did.
 If MT Lansing's statement, made a few hours after the Presidents note was sent, and in which the dangerous position of the United States was pointed out is true, no sounding out of the belligerents was necessary.
 The next morning, however, the second explanation of the Presidents note was offered by MT. Lansing. How far this second explanation went in explaining the purpose of the Presidents note 1 will have to leave to others more ingeni- ous than myself to figure out.' Senator Lodge declared he believed that the Lansing statement had some purpose
 and declared if the purpose of the note was to inform the world that the United States had direct interest that was bringing this country to the verge of war, then the note was justified in form and substance.
 Senator Lodge will continue his argu- ment tomorrow.

PROMINENT MAN IS
 SUSPECTED AS THE ]. SLAYER 0F MODEL
Philadelphia Police Claim They Have All But One Link Forged to
 Fasten Crime

Philadelphia, January 3.-An important arrest in connection with the murder Hast week of Maizie Colbert, the artists model is expected within 24 hours, the police announced tonight. Detectives said that but one link in the chain of evi- dence against the slayer is missing and that they expect to take the man into custody soon, possibly tonight.
 Although the authorities refused to re- veal the identity of the man, unconf1rmed remors persisted that he was wealthy man from upstate who has been un- der surveillance at a local hotel for sev- eral days
 Despite the assertion of Captain Tate of the detective department that this man has been cleared of all suspicion, two men were sent to his hotel late today to take his finger prints for comparison with those found in Miss Colbert's apart ment. The result of this comparison was not made known.
 The detectives also refused to reveal what additional evidence they required before making an arrest. It was reported, but not confirmed, that they were await ing his Identification by salesgirls who are said to have sold him large quanti- ties of perfume possessing the same odor as that which scented the mans shirt found ill Miss Colbert's apartment
 The man Is said to be about middle aged and to have inherited nearly $1, GOO, ,00( from his father. He is well known ir many cities throughout the country and scores of his friends are reported to have come to his aid According to one o1 these friends he had spent large sums of money on Miss Colbert and was ex- tremely jealous of her. Both he and the former manicurist, this friend stated, had violent tempers and 1t was his belief that the woman had been slain in self defense during quarrel. He said the up- state man had come to Philadelphia in response to letter from a lawyer who wrote that the woman was planning legal action, possibly 8 breach of promise suit. But instead of seeing the lawyer he was said to have gone directly to the girls apartment and the quarrel followed
