DREAM OF NEGRO GOT PASTORS
Told OF Fabulous Wealth on Farm,
$4,000 1 o u.
Rnt Digging Re1eaIed Nothing.

Paterson, N. j., November 20
Frederick Loehrs, pastor of the con-
gregation for the enlightenmentl OF
soul and spirit, probably will never
again give his note for $4,000 toward
purchase Of buried treasure I on a
New Jersey farm. He testified in
court here today that he had been
"inveigled into" giving his note for
an Oakland tract after he had been
interested in a dream in which a
Negro woman appeared and explain
ed that more than $2,000,000 worth
of jewelry and gold lay buried
there.
Loehrs took the witness stand in ?
suit brought against him by Daniel
Balsinger who sought to recover on
the clergyman's note. He testified
that Balsinger was the man who
had the dream and told it to him.
Loehrs, Mrs Sophia Sautter, treas
urer of the congregation and Mre
Marie Blumer. secretary. codefendants
with the pastor, all dug on the treas
ure farm, Loehrs said, without finding
even a stickpin.
Balsinger gave every indication
that he intended to dig for the hid
den treasure himself" Loehrs said
but the Negro woman reappeared in
later dream, and her description
of the fated digger and owner fitted
Loehrs so well that Balsinger decided
to sell to him.

TEXAS CONGRESSMAN UPHOLDS
JIM CROW LAW.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Representa-
tive Hatton w. Summers made today
what prominent northern republicans
told him afterward was the fairest
presentation of certain phases of the
race question they had ever heard.
Mr.. Summers was speaking against
the amendment of Representative
Madden, Republican, of Illinois, which
would have prohibited separation Of
the races in transportation in many
southern states. Representative Ray
burn intended to speak against il
also, and was demanding recognition
when the final vote of 142 to IL was
taken by which the amendment was
defeated.
I'VE are unfortunately situated in
the south in that we are trying IA
experiment which has never before
succeeded" said Mr.. Summers. We
are trying to have the two races
live in the same community. 1 don't
know why but when people live under
a condition where there are a large
number of an antagonistic race, then
there comes to many a man the call
of the blood. Why God put that into
the breast of white folks / do not
know but it is there, and when that
call comes, men respond to a call
higher than that of self preservation,
because it is the preservation of the
race. When that call comes it will

mers in Georgia who want to keep
their Negro tenants satisfied on the

crops. This year has convinced their
Georgia farmer that cotton can no
longer be grown as 1t used to be,
says-R. r. Dover, of Dixie, Ca, one
of the most successful farmers in
this country.
Many farmers say you cannot teach
Negro to be anything but a cotton
farmer. Mr.. Bower does not agree
to this and points to the example of
one Negro tenant on his place. He
says not one Of his cotton tenants
will make over a. bale and a half
of cotton to the pillow this year. This
Negro runs two plows: last spring

onions.
