Speedy Guaging of
Spirits Now Allowed
by the United States
Not a Sign of End to Ban on
Liquor, Commissioner
Says.

Permission for immediate guaging
of any beverage spirits now deposited
in warehouses has been given by the
commissioner of internal revenue, ac-
cording to work received by Elwood
Hamilton, collector Of internal revenue
for Kentucky, yesterday.
Assent was given on requests for
immediate guaging of beverage spirits
in bond to facilitate rapid tax payment
and withdrawal of spirits in the event
the ban of wartime prohibition is
lifted.
The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. takes care, however, to disillusion
hopes of those who interpret the au-
thorization as a sign that wartime
prohibition soon will end. at must
not be inferred" states the commits
sioner, "that this office is in possession
of any information leading to belief
that the ban of wartime prohibition
will be lifted in the near future or at
any other time, nor will 1t be regarded
as a precedent or authorization for
any other guaging than that contem-
plated for facilitating withdrawal in
event of the lifting of the ban.
"Under the Act of Nov. 21, 1918,
withdrawal of distilled spirits from
warehouses for beverage purposes is
prohibited except for export, and no
modification of this prohibition is con-
templated or authorized hereby"

Negro Preacher
Says Stay
South
Arkansas Gazette Organizes
Good Negroes.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 29.-All-
port, Ark, in the center of a tract
of $4,000 acres of the richest land Of
Lonoke county, and restricted in its
future growth only by the limits of
that large acreage, was presented
here yesterday as the promised land"
of the Arkansas Negro by the Rev.
A. Amos, Negro "elder" and the rul-
ing spirit Of the colony. The "elder"
came here to see a state legislature in
action, and having seen it, he is ready
to resume his campaign among his
people to dissuade them from leaving
the South and to resume his preaching
Of the doctrine of cooperation be-
tween the Negroes and the white peo-
pie Of the nation.
"Elder" Amos, who has been lead
er Of his race for many years, brought
an interesting story of the develop
ment of a Negro colony at Airport and
told Of the methods pursued and his
goal in his life work, which he says
is to make Airport the best Negro
settlement in the nation, work which
he has we'll under way, according to
his own vivid description. Temporar-
lily he is neglecting the colony to bat
tie what he calls vicious propagan-
da which is seeking to create unrest
among his people and to increase fric-
tion between the white and Negro
races. The "elder's" mission is to
preach contentment to his people, to
allay the discord between the races
and to make this "happy South
land for the white people and the
Negroes" He has held Ga meetings
among the Negroes and will hold
many more throughout the state. His
work has been endorsed by Governor
Brough and by many other white peo-
pie of the state.
Is Dry Colony.
But the lecture tour is merely a
side line to the building of Airport,
where the Negro is to be taught good
citizenship, thrift, industry, sobriety
and Christian living, where idleness is
frowned upon, where immortality is not
tolerated and from which booze in all
forms is barred. The "elder" says
that none Of his colonists will ever get

The prevailing opinion in Washing
ton is that the action of the president
is due to the danger of sovietism,
bolshevism and actual revolution in
the United States. The president, it
is indicated, is moved through desire
to compose the discordant elements
rather than crush them with an iron
hand. There are many members of
congress who believe the president is
on the proper track. There are others
who compare his course in The present
emergency to his course in dealing
with Mexico, course apparently
characterized by a lack of punch"
and aggressiveness.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 30.-Mayor Ed
P. Smith was nearly lynched when he
refused to surrender William Brown,
colored, to a mob of bloodthirsty hood
lums here Sunday night. The mayor
was strung up with rope, the end
of which was thrown over a tele-
graph pole. When cut down by po-
licemen he was unconscious.
The new $1,50O,0OO court house is
badly damaged, having been fired by
the mob when it was denied possession
of William Brown, who was charged
with a criminal attack on white girl.
The mob, not satisfied with almost
killing the city's chief executive,
marched toward the home of Police
Commissioner Dean Ringer. In order
to get to the home of the chief the
mob had to pass through a colored
neighborhood They got within three
blocks of the said Negro section when
the cowardly mob, led by more cow
ardly leaders, thought that it would
be safer if they turn back. This they
did.
Brown is one of the many race men
who has been accused of assaults on
young white women during the past
six weeks. Any young girl who was
looking for notoriety through the
press would claim that she had been
attacked by a colored man. After
bringing the said man to court the
evidence was so fimsy the accused
was either given light sentence or
freed.
Mayor Smith owes his election to the
better class of whites and Negroes,
who were tired of the old regime of
wide open gambling, houses of vice
and hold-ups.
Early in the afternoon a small
crowd gathered in front of the court
house. As the afternoon wore on the
crowd, chiefly boys, was augmented
steadily until several thousand men,
women and boys had assembled. At 6

ProvidenceAc to
Avoid Race Riots
Great Meeting. Called of
Negroes and Whites.

Providence, R. l., Oct. 2.-An ap-
peal to help preserve order here and
keep Providence from experiencing
such conditions as Boston is meeting
with was made by Mayor Gamer last

some of them veterans of the Civil
war, drawn up in line before the plat
form, the mayor said: "You have sac
riced just as much, no more and no
less, than the other men who went
to war. You don't need anybody's ap-
probation. You have the appreciation
of the city, the state, the United States
and of the world for what you have
done.
"There isn't anything I would take
for the part l had played in the war
if had been one of you boys. l ask
you to bring back into civilian life
the same high spirit you showed in
war. You men who have been in tht
army know what discipline does. You
couldn't have won without it.
Mayor and Lieutenant Governor Speak
"Look at the city of Boston today.
No police force and little protection
from mob violence. God grant on such
conditions ever come to the city of
Providence. Iwant you to go out deter
mined that Providence will never yield
her high place among the cities of the
country. Help preserve peace here"
The meeting at the armory followed
parade through the downtown
streets and a dinner in the Odd Fell
lows hall, Cranston st. The veterans
and Boy Scouts performed morching
maneuvres in the armory as a prelim-
mary to the reception. President
Thomas Henry Brown of the colored
