MORRIS TAKES
SCOTS PLACE

Walter II. Scott, former clerk of
the board of county commission
ers, was replaced Monday morning
by James Morris, who for the last
two years has been a deputy in
the office of County Auditor
Thomas N. Morris. The position
is in the gift of the county audi
tor, and it is understood Scott was
not reappointed because he was
opposed by the two new commits
sioners, Bellingham and O'Farrell.

NAMES M'ADOO

Adoo was named by Lawson as
the cabinet member he had
heard" was involved in sharing
profits from the alleged leak.
Lawson then named Archibald
S. White, II Pine street, New
York, as the banke rwho had CIV
en- him additional information.
81 will answer that statement
later" Henry retorted, flushing
after Lawson had blurted out the
name.

mighty potentate bent on univer-
being whose bearing is that af a
potentate bent on univer-
sal rule; this being was not once
referred to. He whose place is
not in hell-but in the heaven
lies, not in dens and dives but in
pulpits; he who is transformed in
to an Angel of Light for the pur-
pose of deceiving men--this being
was not attacked or even men-
toned. The master strategen Of
this august enemy OF the souls of
men is this: to have men occupied
with his caricature-the Devil of
Christendom-while he, the Satan
of Scripture, gets in his awful
work.
Take Satan from the Scrip
lures and you take the verac-
ity of Christ; take the verac-
ity of Christ and you take His
Divinity; take His Divinity
and you take the AtOnement;
take the AtOnement and the
whole fabric of the Christian
Faith falls into hopeless
ruins. If DR.. Dyer asserts
that he attacked the Satan Of
Scripture, then i'm the name
of common sense l ask what
kind of a Christ is he preach-
ing anyhow?
II any are at loss to under
stand the position of this learned
preacher, let them ponder deeply
these words: Satan himself is
transformed in to an Angel of
Light. Therefore it is no great
thing II his ministers also be
transformed as ministers of right
eousness." 2 Cor. IL, IA and Is.

RAID LONDON
SUFFRAGETS

(Oniteu f'reSS LehSGu Wfe.)
LONDON, Jan. 15.-London po-
lice made two spectacular raids on
militant suffragettes yesterday.
They were carried out simulta-
neously-one against the print
ing office of the Woman's Social
and Political union, where forth
coming issues of Britannia, the
women's organ, were seized, and
the other against a flat occupied
by Miss Annie Kennedy and Miss
trace Roe. The latter is Mrs.
Pankhurst's private secretary.
1.-THE only reason | can assign
for the raids" said Mrs. Pank-
hurst, lis the criticism which the
periodical Britannia has recently
aimed at the government, and par
ticularly against that section of
the government which favors a
compromise peace.

There is no question that the name
of Roosevelt not only inspires the
poilu in the trenches, but also strikes
responsible chord in many breasts
of Americas noblest sons, white and

Colonel will be able to respond to the

is HE GUILTY?

The arrest of o. C. Green, one Of
the best known railroad porters in this
city on the charge of RAPE has occa-
stoned more comment than anything
that has happened in the race recently
and has engendered quite bit of feel
ing on both sides of the controversy.
Green, who is 33 years old and mar
ried, resides at 1922 Park avenue, and
recently took in as roomers Mr.. and
Mrs. Wanzer Rector. Mr.. Rector is
also a railroad porter and well known,
having conducted saloon in this city
for several years. His wife is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Groves OF
Edwardsville, Kansas. Mrs. Rector
alleges that one morning last week
while her husband was out on his run
Green came to the door of her room
and made indecent proposals to her
and when she Indignantly spurned
them and ordered him out of her room
he shut the door and ferociously as
saulted her and by brute strength ac-
complished his purpose. She imme-
diately dressed herself and hurried to
the neighbor women and informed
them of what had occurred. They ad-
vised her to notify her husband and
father which she did and a warrant
was issued for Green's arrest. Mr..
Green alleges that it is a frame up"
and that Mrs. Rector has been flirting
with him for sometime and that it was
at her invitation that he was in her
room. The preliminary hearing of the
case was held Tuesday in Justice SetZ-
| ler's Court and Green was bound over
on a $4,000 bond to the Criminal Court.
All the parties concerned are promi-
nent in ColoTed society, Green and
Rector running opposite each other on
the Santa Fe Green is a son of the
late Rev. Henry Green of Independ-
ence, Mo-, While Rector is well known
in Chillicothe where he was reared
and is a nephew of Mr.. and Mrs. S. H.
Burnett of this city.

time to leave for work. He went to
the depot and waited for CASTOR and
warned him to stay away from his
home. L don't like the way things
are going" he told the porter "and it
might be best for you not to go there
any more" The porter accepted the
warning without protest and promised
to heed it.
But this he did not do. Instead he
picked his chances and continued to
visit the Knox home while Knox was
away at work.
Saturday night Knox kissed his
wife goodbye as usual, and left his
home presumably to go to work but
instead he secretly returned and sta
toned himself under the bed in their
bed room. He waited an hour or more
before seeing anything to confirm his
dark suspicion. The truth of his sus-
picion was soon realized however,
when CASTOR entered and Mrs. Knox
sent her brother out to look for a
lunch
In the meantime the Knox woman
and CASTOR danced around in the bed
room in time to piano music from a
house close by not dreaming that the
eyes of the infuriated husband were
upon them and that their end in death
"a most ignominious death-was so
near upon them. The couple hugged
and kissed and engaged in other in
decencies by both act and conversa-
ton, according to the story given by
the man under the bed.
The woman's brother soon returned
with lunch and the death feast was
spread which was devoured by Mrs.
Knox, CASTOR and another couple
whose names could not be learned.
After the lunch was devoured CASTOR
and Mrs Knox went outside to draw
some water Upon their return to the
bed room the doors were locked and
CASTOR pulled off his coat while Mrs.
Knox took her place on the bed where
CASTOR soon Joined her. 1t was in this
position that Knox found them when
he crawled from his place of conceal
ment under the bed.

HUSBAND KILLS WIFE AND HER
PARAMOUR.
Sanctuary of Home Is Desecrated by
UnfaithfuI Wife and Her Lover,
Both of Whom Are Killed by
lnfuriated Husband in
Tulsa, Okla.

Tulsa was shocked Sunday morning
to hear the news that Henry Knox had
shot and killed his wife and Santa
Fe train porter named Greene CASTOR
of Kansas City, formerly of Chanute,
Kans., at the formers home on North
Greenwood at a late hour Saturday
night.
Knox is we'll known in Tulsa and
has a good reputation as good pro-
vided and kind husband. He has
worked at night as watchman at one
of the down town theaters for several
years.
He married the woman he killed
about two years ago and for a time
they got along happily together.
Later, however, the husband be-
came dissatisfied and succeeded in OBJ
tanning a divorce from his wife, but
it was later set aside and they patch
ed up their differences and started on
their matrimonial life again.
But the dove of peace and the god
dess of love were soon driven from
the home again by dart suspicious
which found lodgment in the hus
bands mind. He knew things were
not going well at his home and set
about to find the cause. Learning by
careful investigation that a certain
railroad porter named CASTOR was in
the habit of visiting his home at night
after 10 o'clock which was Knox's

The ILLINOIS RIOTS.

The East st. Louis race riots, it
appears, have been controlled and the
mob spirit has subsidized under the
exercise of the military authority in
voked. Thus one more discreditable
page has been written in the history
of the race animOsities in America
and one more temporary "finis" has
been affixed to that page, the deplor-
able story to be rewritten as often
as unbridled hatred and passion shall
indite it.
The American people were long in
/ forgiving Charles Dickens for his bit
| ing sarcasm in commenting upon the
fact that they dreamed of freedom
in a slaves embrace" 1t was sting
sistency, but the people need another
Dickens to arraign in fitting terms the
| inconsistency of dreaming of indus
trial freedom while visiting upon inof-
fensive representatives of the same
black race the denial of rights solemn
ly guaranteed by the organic law of
the land, the exercise of which does
not in the remotest degree involve any
of the issues of social equality" or
the black mans crime"
AS the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
points out, the 1000 Negroes who have
been driven from East st. Louis were
generally honest, Industrious and law
abiding citizens. The workers in the
packing houses, who were the insti-
eating cause of the riots, were en-
gagged in arduous and necessary labor,
labor which white men as a rule re-
fuse to do because of its character.
| There was no crime committed by any
of these men. There was no reason
why they should not exercise the right
/ to earn an honest living by honest
toll. There was still less reason why
! they should not have been protected
in that right, instead of being driven
from their homes and from the COM
munity where they had ever moral and
legal right to be. 1t is a blot on the
name of Illinois, the state where the
immortal Lincoln is buried and in
which owen Lovejoy was murdered,
that such things should take place.
Americans are expending an i'm
mense amount of indignation just now
at the outrages inflicted by the Ger
mans upon the helpless Belgians and
French. They have not ceased to
thrill with horror at the wrongs in.
flicted by the despots of the old Rus.
sia upon their semi-serfs. They are
wrought up to a fervid pitch by the
deportation of Armenians by the
Turks. Why would it not be oppor
tune and consistent to eXpend little
indignation upon the arbitrary and alb
} solutely illegal deprivation by Ameri
cans of the rights of black men tC
= work for living? If they can con
template with equanimity the spec
tacle of an American mob putting 6
p Negro fiend into steel cage and burn
! ing him to DEATH they ought at least
J to protect inoffensive and lawabiding
blacks in their inherenet right to WORK
for their livelihood.
Dickens is dead these many years
America no longer dreams of politica
slavery in a slaves embrace. But the
nations must temper its indignation
at wrongs practiced across the sea il
IS the name of despotism and race hatred
when identical wrongs are VISITED
D upon American citizens by un-Ameri

Hagerstown, Nd, April 90.-The
10 day campaign to raise $3.50, 600
for Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton building came to a successful
close Monday night in Hagerstown
when the full amount was raised at
an enthusiastic meeting attended by
the leading citizens Of the city. The
sum of $47 900 was subscribed Mon
day. After all the captains Of the
teams had reported their days work
S25, 900 was still lacking. This sum
was raised by the executive committee.
After announcement was made that
the $15O,OO0 had been raised, the
workers, headed by band, paraded
the streets. The site for the building
has not yet been selected.
