AN INJUSTICE TO ARKANSAS.
The National Equal Rights League,
with headquarters in New York has
sent telegram to Governor Brough,
asking him to grant stay of exc
cution in the cases of the II negroes
CONDEMNED to die for participation
in the Elaine (Ark.) race riots"
If Governor Brough gives any an
swer whatever to the request Of the
National Equal Rights League it
should be curt no. The Equal Rights
League is piling another injustice on
the many injustices done to Arkansas
by some Northern newspapers and
organizations since the trouble at
Elaine. The Equal Rights League
knows, if it has kept up with the
matter, that the trouble at Elaine was
not a race riot but an instruction in
which ignorant negroes, led by vicious
md designing members Of their own
ace, organized an instruction the
purpose of which was to murder the
white planters and confiscate their
property.
When the instruction came the
Gazette and other newspapers sent
reporters to the scene of the trou-
ole. The accounts of every reporter
agreed that the trouble wan an organ
| zed and premeditated insurrection
! and not asporadic race riot. This in
'ormation was sent to the newspa-
0ers of the country thru the Assici-
tied Press, but in the face of it many
)apers in the North editorially pooh
1oohed the idea of insurrection and
published a statement from North
arn organization organized ostensi-
by to aid the negro in the South, that
he trouble came because white plant
ers were trying to defraud negroes in
he annual settlements for the cot
ton crop.
At the trials of the negroes arrest
ed the facts concerning the insurrec-
ton were brought out, but these pa
pers and organizations in the main
refused to give credence to the tes-
timony produced at the trials and
some of them suppressed the truth
entirely. The fact that accused ne
groes admitted membership in the or
ganzation which brought on the in
surrection, admitted taking part in
the instruction and pleaded guilty
to the charges against them made no
difference. These papers and organ
izations were determined to believe
only what they wanted to believe.
The Rev. A. C. Millar, editor of
the Arkansas Methodist, desiring to
have first hand information, went to
Phillips county and made a personal
investigation of the Elaine affair. As
result of his investigation he pub
fishes in this weeks Arkansas Meth
odist an editorial headed, mot Riot
ing, but Insurrection," in which he
shows that tthe trouble at Elaine
came because the negroes were or
ganized against the whites to murder
them and to confiscate heirproperty.
He concludes his editorial with these
words: at is positive SANDER to class
this Instruction with the bloody az
fairs at East st. Louis, Chicago and
Omaha"

as assistant superintendent of the
colored public schools of the Dis
trict despite a long campaign for
his removal by the Parents League,

potency and immortality placed

Choosing Our Children's Teachers-.
We Shall Take This Matter to

cal condition at the hospital today as

sitting at a table in Beech Ward
marking clothing when Smith ap-
preached him. In fit Of anger Smith
broke leg from a nearby table and
struck the attendant many heavy
blows.
Smith probably would have killed
Bridget if other attendants had not
interyened.

Ayes.

Under a unanimous agreement
made in the Senate today. the first

Although it is generally believed

Speculation as to the number OF
votes likely to be reached for the
amendments runs all the way from
twenty to thirty. the general opinion
being that perhaps twenty four
Senators may support them.
Senator Fall insists that his amend
ments have not been fairly under

press feeders unions Of New York on
the other.

New York, Oct. New York's an
nual hegira began today to the ac-
compartment Of weather in keeping
with the gloom pervading the hearts
OF 5000 persons whom necessity or
habit compelled to swap homes.
A dismal rain fell as the pilgrim
age began. The shortage Of trucks
resulted in hundreds Of private au-
tomobiies. including costly Iimou-
zines. being pressed into service to
move furniture. Movers charged $40
an hour. Hundreds of families found
the tenants Of apartments they had
rented refused TO vacate because
there was no place to go. This
situation generally resulted in a tenn
porary doubling up of absolute
strangers.

Little dreams and big dreams

happy in the realization of a big

The Reds beat the Chicago

All Dope Upset.
Didn't everybody say the dream
was nonsense? Didn't everybody
say the Reds couldn't possibly win? ?
Experts. ball players. and fans
didn't they all laugh at Cincinnati's
baseball pretensions this year as
they have laughed every year for

Cincinnati never tires OF the telling.

WILSON'S FIUME
Plan SHATTERED
BY D'ANNUNlO
Italian S Coup Upset Presi-
dents Solution at Criti-
cal Time.
ALLIES DEADLOCKED
Problem Regarded Here As
Too Serious for Any
Comment.

The entire F'iume situation is con-
sidered SO serious that no comment
was forthcoming on it at the State
Department yesterday. Negotiations
between the allied powers, however.
for the purpose Of a solution of the
dlniculty were said to be practically
at a deadlock.
For the present Americas voice in
the conferences at Paris is that Of
Frank Polk. Undersecretary OF State,
and the head OF the American Peace
Commission. But no definite step Is
likely to be taken until President Will
son can take part in the proceedings.
This, Of course. he will do via the
wireless and the cables.
Court Upsets Plans.
The compromise agreement, broach-
ed by Great Britain. France and Italy
which was made public in Europe.
but not in this country-went tenn
porarily into the discard when Gabriel
D'Annunzio entered the city Of Fiume
at the head OF an army, and announo-
ed his intention Of staying there. Pres
ident Wilson. it Is understood. was
considering the compromise plan OF
the three other nations. which was
submitted to him from Paris. at the
time D'Annunzio sprung his cour
d'etat His action. however. had the
effect of substituting a much more
delicate situation than that which had
existed. and rendered impossible ans
decision by the President. {.
Situation Delicate. Z
The delicacy of the situation, ~
limited at by the State Department
today. is based on this state Of affairs:
Serbia, and. in fact, all the Jugo-
Slav interests. were completely salts
ned with the original Wilson plan tof
the disposition of the city. The nsl-
isfaction OF the Slav interests was
brought about by internationaiixfns
the city itself. which was half of q
victory for the contentious of the
Slavs.
This was because It denied the alb
solute ownership to Italy. The Jugo-
Slavs were further satisfied because
the original settlement proposed tha,
they should have access to the Ad-
Ratio through the port OF Fiume
Up to Paris Now.
But at this stage OF their satisfac-
ton. DAnnunzio entered and took
over the entire city. He was de-
nounced by his own governmental
mild terms-and 1t appeared as though
Italy would be able to deal with the
situation by removing D'Annunzio
Meantime, however. his daring feat
and the devotion of his followers
kindled the patriotism of Italy to a
new heat, and the Italian government
found itself unable to do anything
SO the whole matter once more fell
to the lot OF the Peace Conference
1t Is now up to the Peace Conferences
to decide whether or not it shall. by
concerted action of all the allied
powers. including Italy. attempt tc
drive D'Annunzio out Of Fiume.
