TALKS
ON RACE RIOTING

Collector Of Customs Franklin gave
vent to q burst Of indignation this
morning on reading reports Of the
race riots in East st. Louis. Mr..
Franklin, who Is a southern Democrat,
in commenting on the lynching, said:
Il regret to note the lynching Of
so many negroes north OF the fame1
Mason and Dixon line For years the
South has been roundly denounced
for this practise; threatened with dire
punishments; ED up to utter scorn
by the more civilized citizens Of the
North. Lynching has ceased to be d
southern pastime,' but appears now
to have ignored all state lines; II is
no longer intrastate,' but inter.
state
1.-The South rarely resorts to lynch
law, except in that one awful crime
against our women. / note that the
people of Republican Illinois lynch
them for the crime of settling among
them for the purpose only of making
a livelihood. l was utterly shocked

ardly and brutal acts CT that Illinois
mob; such conduct would hsve been
impossible IN any seuthexa state"

SUGAR NCUbA
ON FLOOD TIDE

Cuba's prosperity has resulted in ex.
tensive plans for new sugar mills, new
railways and many other phases Of en-
cheering activity; all OF which will
mean new orders for American con-
struction material and machinery, &C
cording to an official survey of the
situation recently completed by Spe-
cial Agent w. w. Ewing Of the Bureau
Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
Department of Commerce.
A number Of new sugar mills are
projected for this season, and railway
construction and extension is being
planned on a considerable scale. The
heavy traffic movement of both sugar
and general merchandise win make
necessary q great development Of the
wharf facilities, and the need for
greater warehouse space and other
port improvements Is apparent. Mod
ern hotel buildings are already being
planned and sites acquired in order
to meet the demands Of the tourist
traffic. Many other indications Of en-
cheering activity are to be seen In all
parts Of the island. The United States
is in the best position to supply the
materials needed for all such improve
ments.
Mr.. Ewing's report is entitled MAR
kets for Construction Materials and
Machinery in Cuba" Special Agents
Series No. 139. 1t deals with present
building activities and with the de.
mand for general construction mate

OIL CASE ENDS

LOS ANGELES, Cal. June 90. -
With the closing of evidence here in
what are known as the Oil fraud cases.
in United States District Judge Bled-
soe's court, a milestone has been turn
ed in the progress Of a litigation vital
ly affecting the United States govern
ment, the Southern Pacific, a number
Of large corporations and hundreds OF
individuals
The fraud caSes-six in all-cover
475,000 acres of Oil lands in Kern,
Kings and Fresno counties, in all val
ued at $4,000, 900, exclusive Of the
oil pumped from the properties az
fected by the suits.
The contention OF the government,
broadly stated, is that the land was
obtained by the Southern Pacific I'M
der a grant of Congress which elimin'
ated oil land from such concessions.
The evidence on this point was yolum'
nous, but settled down to the propo
sition that If the corporation did not
know that the land contained oil, and
therefore was not subject to entry, it
should have known.
The position of the southern Pacific
is that at the time the land was OBJ
tanned by the road there were no in
dications of oil on any Of the property
although it is admitted that years
later rich fields of oil were developed
and localities that, at the time Of the
patents were nothing but desert and
uninviting knob, have since grown
into cities and towns, with prosperity
on every hand.
The oil section covered by the
fraud" suits embraces the largest oil
reservoirs in the world, and dozens
of fortunes have been reaped in drill
ing and exploiting the oil territory.
Another contention is that the stat
ute of limitations has long since ex-
pired, and that the government has no
cause Of action. Judge Bledsoe stated
few days ago that the only issues
involved in the case at bar are those
Testimony has been taken in this
city, San, Francisco, Fresno, Chicago,
Washington and New York, and the
transcript Of the evidence amounts to
more than 10000 pages Of typewrit-
ten manuscript. Two hundred and
nine witnesses we're examined and
the court travelled 1900 miles.
It has been agreed by the attorneys
FOR the government and the Southern
Pacific that the government shall pre-
sent its statement of the case to the
court by October 1.
The Southern Pacific will do like.
- ASRA
which has been limited to one week
for side, was fixed for Monday, De-
cember 8.
Whichever side wins, the case will
be carried to the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals, and from there
to the United States Supreme Court.
The issues are SO vast and the prop
erty values SO enormous that neither
side will be satisfied with anything
less than final Judgment.

LESSONS OF THRIFT.
Learn to Spend Money Only For Things
You Really Need,


There are few persons SO rich that
they do not need to exercise care and
forethought in their expenditure. HUI
man needs, human desires, human
sympa thies, are SO vast, occasions Of
outlay so beset all of us at every step
that unless we are watchful we quick
ly find great resources reduced to
nothing, without our knowing how.
The speed with which money departs
Is one Of the first lessons Of expert
ence to man, woman and child, but we
are slow to apply our own experience
in our judgment OF others.
Every one should be taught from
childhood to weigh the needs of ex-
penditure. This l must have, this l
can 90 without, this l greatly want, II
other demands still more imperative
are not baked by 1t. By buying this
now l can avert the necessity Of dou-
bic expenditure year hence. On the
other hand, If 1 refrain from a pur-
chase tempting at the moment l may be
glad of my self control even within
week. Questions like these have to be
settled by every human being. Can
any training be more important than
that which enables us TO settle them?
Exactly the same disposition to weigh
and TO compare must be brought into
giving, into charity, If giving is to be
discreet and wise and not in the end
Injurious to giyer and receiver both.
If We want a useful test for the diff
cult distinction between avarice and
thrift we may say that thrift is more
sparing with self than 1t Is with 9th
ers, whereas avarice plnches others
sooner than itself although it may
pinch both-Youth's Companion.

PENNSY WILL RAISE
AGE LIMIT FOR WAR
viii Employ Men As TO 70,
But No Pensions.

Philadelphia. July 23-War has
caused the management OF the Penn.
sylyania railroad to suspend the age
limit IN the employment of men.
The rules prohibit the hiring Of a
new man above fOrty-fve wears OF
age. The great number Of young men
about to be called into service has
brought about the suspension
II has been decided by the railroad
managers To meet war conditions by
allowing the employment of men be
tween forty-ive and seventy years OF
age for the period of the war and six
months after its conclusion. Since
this employment Is not to be consid
cred permanent, these men will not
partake of the pension benefits Of the
railroad.
This arrangement will give mer
above military age a chance TO dc
their bit in helping the railroads tc
meet the extra pressure of wartimes.
