WELLS RIVER
Wells River Defeated Lisbon to In
Baseball Last Saturday.

In slow game played at Lisbon last
Saturday, Wells River defeated Lisbon
TO A. Owing to the intense heat, the
players and spectators took little inter
est in the game. Two hits and two err
rors gave Wells River four runs in the
first inning. The side was retired by
Wells River in the third by double
play and putout by Streeter and Van
Dyke. Clark for Lisbon also made an
unassisted double play in the third.
From the first it was everybody's desire
to put one over the fence in right field
Chase accomplished this in the seventh,
making home run. His hitting was
also noticeable, making three hits for
total of eight bases in five times at bat.
Wells River was short two men, which
greatly handicapped the teamwork which
had been developed. The team is show
ing exceptionally good nlayir2 ability
and it is hoped that the public will sup
port it in good shape at their next home
game, The score

the decent self-respecting people.
An organization known as the Ken
wood and Hyde Park Property Own
ers Association held meeting to pre-
pare plans to segregate the colored
people or at least to drive them out
of the Hyde Park section. The color
ed people were characterized as ..un-
desirables," "coons," ''darkies,' etc.
by speakers who were appealing to
the prejudices of the Southerners who
composed about nine-tenths of the
audience. 81
Then another meeting was called
and a few yenal jimcrow. Negroes
were on hand who tried to sell out
their race. The whole plan was an
infamous one. The colored men who
were in the plot were the hirelings
OF the Hyde Park whites and hoped
to- make lot of money out Of the
scheme, but the community made it SO.

did not attend the second meeting
with the whites. There were only,
six colored men who agreed to segre-
gate themselves and they have long
been known as jimcrowists.

No, he would offer an apology to those

commend him to the thoughtful con-

CAN,

The Department of Publicity of the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing Company of Lester, Pennsyl-
vania, gave segregated picnic for
its colored employees. A long account
OF the event was sent to THE AP-
PEAL but we declined to publish be-
cause we felt that the segregation
was un-American. We reprint here
with the body of the letter sent to the
Westinghouse Company, which gives
the opinion of THE APPEAL as to
the Importance of cultivating the feel

Your matter is respectfully declin-
ed because THE APPEAL, which is
AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER does
not care to give publicity to a story
which on its face appears to be un-
American. We so regard it as it is
the exploitation Of the fact that a
segregated picnic ives given for the
"colored" employees. That is drawing
the color line. .-~. -
So far as we know the Westing-
house Company has not given a sep
arate picnic for each OF the following
groups: German, Irish, French, Brit.

should be given exclusively for color

: Possibly some OF the colored en-
ployees desire such a picnic, but that
is because many have come from the
South and know nothing but segrega-
ton. Instead OF encouraging such
desire, it should be the aim of an
AMERICAN corporation to encourage
the mingling Of all OF its employees

that they may learn more of each

Omaha now is gravely questioning
whether Will Brown was guilty Of the
act for which wild mob lynched him
after a night of lawlessness. Every
day that dawns brings increasing fear
that the awful deed was committed
upon a man innocent OF any crime"
except that of having a black skin.
These revelations have aroused the
respectable majority of the communi-
ty almost to the limit of endurance.
1t is reported that strangers visiting
the city are making pilgrimages to
the smoke-smirched hulk Of the Doug
las County Court House, once the
pride of happy city. Their horror
adds but ire to the indignation Of
Omahans. Citizens demand the pun
ishment of the lynchers, and declare
they are going to get it. Already
one hundred arrests have been made,
and prosecutions are at hand.

orgy IS good thing for Omaha It is
