To Communicate
With Planet Mars.
Professor Will Try to Talk to
People on Planet.
Especial to The Whip.)

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 23.-Leo Stev-
ems, balloon instructor at Fort Omaha,
announced today that Prof. David
Todd will attempt to communicate
with the planet Mars this fall in a

largest ever made, will ascend $4,000
feet, Stevens said. Its capacity will
be 100000 feet.
The balloon will be enabled to rise
to the expected height, Stevens said,
by use of an invention which divides
the balloon in two compartments, the
upper containing hydrogen gas, and
the lower fresh air.
Professor Todd, just returned to
Amhurst college from Brazil, has per
fected signalling apparatus for the
experiments, Mr.. Stevens said.

Saliee NeUer Started a
Game in Philadelphia

Slim Sallee comes very near being
the most important part of the ia
nous Red machine that has run ram
pant through the National League this
year, but there are very few fans who
know that his fame extends also in
another direction.
Sallee, canny, wise old pitcher,
never has started game against Phil
adelphia in its home bandbox. In fact,
only thirteen starts against Philadel-
phia's National League club have been
made by the elongated southpaw.
The reason for Sims refraining
from pitching when his club visits
Philadelphia is simply this: He is easy
for the opposition to touch for long
flies. And long flies in the National
League bailiwick in the sleep city are
home runs. Some one would be break
ing the home run record if Sallee did
much serving.
Occasionally the left-handed master
has finished a ball game against the
Pills, but never in all the years he has
been curving in the National Legaue
under the colors of St Louis, New
York and Cincinnati-ha he started
against the Quakers on their home lot
Quite a record? Sure,

Knives Wound Four
In Cleveland Riot

Cleveland, Oct. -Four men were
stabbed, two probably fatally and two
others were badly beaten near the en-
trance of the American Steel and
Wire company, Newburg plant, early
this morning in the first serious local
disorder of the steel strike. The trou-
BILE broke out when a street car stop
ped near the plant to let off men
bound for work at the mills.
Among those who got off the car
were three Negroes. Strike sympa-
thizers sought to stop them from GO
ing into the plant, according to the
police, and two of the Negroes drew
knives. A general fight ensued, in
which many men in the vicinity of the
plant joined. When a detail of police
reached the scene they found four
men had been stabbed, two probably
fatally.
The Negroes returned to the street
car for shelter. The car was pursued
by hundred of strike sympathizers
and bombarded with bricks and stones
and the three men seized and beaten.
Police resuced two of them and the
third escaped.
Two other disturbances broke out in
the Newburg district this morning in
one Of which man was slightly hurt.
Patrolman Hack was severely beat
en- and one man was believed to have
been shot in the steel strike in the
disturbance near the Otis Steel com
pany plant shortly before noon. Hack
was attacked when he ordered loiteers
to move on. He fired three shots and
believed a man was shot and carried
away by friends.
Maj. Harry l.. Davis, reused by re
ports of the disorder, issued instruc-
tons to police that no strike breakers
be permitted to enter the city and that
all suspicious persons be turned back.
Union officials, in conference today
with Mayor Davis, demanded that
activities of strike breakers be stop
ped. Fifty-nine men, who police said,
were brought here from Detroit to
work in a Cleveland steel mill, were
on there way back to Detroit today
after having been taken to police
headquarters on their arrival here
last night and given the choice of re
turning or appearing in court on
suspicious person charges. This
policy will be continued, police said.
Special police details were patrol
ling the districts where rioting occur
red this morning and police were in
vestigating reports that Negroes were
being imported from the South TO
work in the mills.
The Union Rolling Mills, an indie
pendent company, that had continued
to operate shorthanded, closed today.

was never issued. From o'clock Sun
day morning until night, colored men
and women were stopped on streets
and searched by the soldiers, who took
knives from them. One colored man,
going three blocks, was searched seven
times. The indignities which colored
women suffered at the hands of these
soldiers would make the devil blush
for shame. Low class white men took
advantage of the helplessness of the
colored men and began cursing and
abusing them on the streets. One
colored man, coming home with his
family, was struck and Inundated by
white ruflian.
"Both white and colored citizens
protested against the mistreatment of
the colored people by the soldiers, and,
as soon as they could get in touch
with Governor Roberts, petitioned him
TO take away the soldiers at once.
They were ordered from the city early
Monday"

reason that bottled goods are never

are allowed to settle there, the bad"

The task of choosing the good from

Amos and the "elder" is convinced
that he has made few mistakes. He
has refused admittance to many, but
he has accepted 568 families of

School Teaches Trades.
The Airport Industrial and Me
chanical Trade School, a plant pat
termed after the Tuskege Institute of
Alabama, recent was damaged by
fire, but new buildings are being
erected and the school soon will be
in operation. In addition to this
school which corresponds to the high
schools of the state, there are four
where the young Negro is given his
grammar schools in the settlement
first ideas of education. The rebuild
ing is to cost $4,000. Machinery
worth $4,000 has been ordered by
the school and will be installed soon

buggies, farm implements and cof-
fins.
elder" Amos explained that the
collins are to satisfy the peculiar
whim of his people in regard to ar
engagements for proper and particular
burial when death overtakes them. A
coffin factory where modern caskets
may be obtained will be one Of the big
attractions at Airport.
Greatest attention will, of course,
be given to the agricultural develop
ment of the colony. The soil is rich
and the "elder" says that it is pos
sible to raise everything, even fight,
although fighting is one of the things
that he is striving hard to eliminate
from the products of his colony. Cot
ton is the chief crop and the yield
this year is very good, the elder"
said. The outlook is good for corn
and other cereal crops will be very
good, he said.
Must Have White Folks Near.
Ultimately, Airport is to be an all
Negro town, with Negroes in charge
Of all commercial, civic, religious and
educational pursuits, but the "elder"
is very anxious to retain a strong
representation of the white citizen
ship. He is afraid that strictly all
Negro settlement would prove a fail
ure because Of internal dissension in
the race.
1--WE must have the steadying in
fluence of the white man in our com
munity to hold down strife and con-
tention and to give us advice and
help" said the "elder."
But next year the Negroes are to
take over the business section of the
own and will operate the stores
which now are run by the white peo-
re. The campaign to sell homes to
a colonists is to reach a climax Nov.
81, when a three-day closing out is
to start. A display of work done at
the school and Of farm products will
be made, and there will be feasting
and such merrymaking as is not un-
der the ban the "elder" has placed on
amusements in the colony. Roast pos
sum will be the piece de resistance
of all the feasts.
