Negro Says There
is No Cause for
Race Bitterness

Tuskegee, Sept. 3.-R. R. Motion
Booker T. Washington's successor as
principal of Tuskegee Institute, de-
clared in a statement today regard
ing the recent race riots in several
cities in the North and South said that
it was difficult to understand why
there should be so much apparent
suspicion and bitterness on the part
of both the white and negro races.
ri have never known the colored
people to have more intense feeling
toward the white people than at the
present." DR.. Motion said, land l
have never known a time when there
was less reason. / never knew a time
when the white people of the South,
not only the leading white people,
but the average white man, was
more anxious than at present to be
absolutely fair and just to the ne
gro, to see to it that the colored race
in the South had better school facili-
ties, better railroad accommodations,
and adequate protection under the
law. This is also true of the North.

Does Not Look for
Another Outbreak of
Influenza This Fall

Little Rock, Sept. 3.-Dr. O. w.
Garrison, state health officer, does
not agree with some authorities that
there is great probability Of an
other severe epidemic of influenza in
the state next fall and winter, while
admitting that it is possible.
Some medical authorities have
been warning the public generally to
look out for another outbreak of a
disease that proved more widespread
and fatal than any other plague that
ever swept over the country. e
The United States Public Health
authorities, assisted by the life in
surance companies who were SO hard
hit by the excessive death losses, are
conducting an educational campaign
that the people may adopt all neces-
sary safeguards and precautions
against recurrence of the epidemic.
The people themselves, as well as the
medical fraternity, are better pre-
pared now to combat the disease than
they were year ago, and know bet
ter how to handle it.
1t is advised that whenever case
develops, it should be promptly iso,
lated, so that there may be less op-
portunity for communication to
others.
However, the public is warned
against too great an optimism, which
might have tendency to make care
less. Especial attention should be
given to sanitary cleanliness, and un-
| due exposure to severe weather con-
ditions.

Sonora Among the
RebelliOus MeXicans

Juarez. Mex, Sept. 3.-Senora
Carmen Alanis, arrested in Chihua-
hua City with her husband and
charged with having been implicated
in the mutiny there, became famous
here in the winter of 1912 when she
galloped into the plaza one night
after Orozco had abandoned the town.
took possession of the military head
quarters and reigned supreme until
next day when she rode away to join
her husband after several persons
had been shot and killed. She was
known locally as the Mexican Joan
of Arc"
Details of the attempted coupe de
main by which Villa was to obtain
control of the Chihuahua garrison
and city, continue to be revealed. The
plot as originally formed, was to
have the federal artillery officers and
enlisted men revolt, man the guns on
Sierra Santa Rosa, lombard the
town and be joined by the infantry
and cavalry included in the mutlny
All the plans had been carefully
made for this to take place at dawn
on August Z.
All of the gates to the city were
closed and hunt was started through
the city under pretense of looking
for Villa spies. The leaders were
soon arrested and many valuable
papers captured Additional arrests
followed, all trains were cancelled
and the mail held up.
The mutiny plot was said to have
had ramifications in the states OF
Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Nuevo, Leor
and Durango, as shown by the cap
tured files of the conspirators. Nc
other revolt plots were discovered IN
the garrisons of these states, 1t was
announced.

German Imports
Opium to Mexico
Branded as "Cigars'

Mexico City, Sept. 3.-A shipment
of crude opium consigned as Japa-
nese "cigars" was imported into
Mexico through Salina Cruz on
March 80, 1917, from Kobe, Japan,
according to declarations made by W.
E. Hermann, described by the papers
here as German banker, IN a de-
position made in court, following a
vigorous anti-opium campaign by the
press.
Except for a raid by police and
healt hofficials and the legal inquiry
in which Herman figured, the opium
expose has not been pressed in the
courts. Although Herman, in his
deposition, did not give the size OF
the shipment imported in 1917, the
newspapers declare it totalled 5000
Kilograms and that, at present prices,
was valued at 100000 pesos. In the
raid crude opium valued at $4,000
pesos was seized it is said and thou
sands of tiny empty tins, supposedly
used for retailing the prepared drug,
were found.
According to the newspapers, the
profits of the opium trade, on the
one shipment referred to-, ran into
millions of pesos. It is said that an
involved system of smuggling result
ed in most of the narcotic being. sold
in the United States. It was shipped
as cigars" sent over the line IN au-
tomobiles equipped with double gaso,,
line tanks and carried across in hand
baggage by band of Germans &C
cording to the revelations here.
Since the Mexican law does not pro-
hibit importations of opium, the fed
eral department OF health beng con-
cerned only in it's sale, the drug deal
ers confined their operations to sales
by devious methods in the United
States. Branches of the organiza-
ton are said to have operated at
Nuevo Laredo, Mex, New York and
San Francisco.
During their campaign against the
traffic, the papers, printed charges
and names of personages as though
libel laws did not exist.

Buy Bead Necklaces
By the Yard Now

London, Sept. 3.-The vogue of the
bead necklace has reached the point
where women are buying them by
the yard, and the twelve inch circlet
of few years ago has given way to
strings nearly three yards long, end
ing in a tassel which falls below the
hem of the skirt.
Pearls and jade, the most desir-
able possessions of the moment, are
closely initiated. For the tasseled
string that touches the toe-tip when
walking, amber, both cloudy and
clear, wood or comedian beads are
chosen.

COLLEGE ASKS LEGISLATURE
FOR THREE NEW BUILDINGS

mated from the budgets of the ex-
pertinent station and the extension
fields be made matter of special
legislation.
In the committees budget the col
lege deducts $36,74S.O6 in order to
conform to actual receipts during the
next two years. If this amount is
not granted it will be absolutely i'm
possible to give a part of the contem-
plated just and necessary increase in
salaries and also make the requisite
increase in the general overhead ex-
penses. DR.. Holland recommended
that the above amount be an item of
special legislation.
1t is reported that the appropra-
tons committees and the members OF
the legislature seem favorably dis
posed toward the appropriation for a
dairy building.

Home Economics Building, Dairy
Building and Another DOrmitory
for Girls Arc Badly Needed

The State College is asking the
legislature for an appropriation of
$4,000 for buildings. President
Holland and Accountant Kruegel ap-
peared before a joint meeting of the
appropriations committee of the sem
ate and house last Tuesday and ex-
planned the financial needs of the
college. They showed that $50, 900
is NEEDED for the completion of Will
son Hall; $4,000 for the compile
ton of the Mechanic Arts building;
$150,000 for home economics
building; $4,000 for a dairy build
ing, and $S5, for new dormitory
for girls.
President Holland stated that the
college would require $4,000 for ex-
pansiOn of experimental and extern
sion work; $36,74S for increases in
salaries and operating expenses. In
an attempt to keep within it's income
for the next two years the college
made reductions in the budgets of
both the experiment station and ex-
tension service. These reductions will
prevent expansion in these two
fields which, if allowed. would en-
able the college to cooperate with
all the counties requesting assistance
and service at the present time.
During the last two years the Unit
ed States government has spent in
this state. in cooperation with the
State College, approximately $780,
600 from government emergency war
funds. After July /, 1919, practic-
ally all of this essential work, if con-
tinued, must be carried on by the
college from its own appropriations
The board of regents has increased
the appropriation from the college
experiment station at Puyallup, for
the next two years, and it purposes,
if funds become available, to extend
the experimental and demonstration
al work of this station. The agricul-
tural interests of western Washing
ton must be given more assistance,
and as this can not be done from
the United States funds, and as the
millage is limited, it must come from
special legislation.
In consequence, DR.. Holland
recommended that the $4,000 elm

SANGER'S HOUSE BILL
PLEASES PULLMAN
Local Representative Introduces
Measure Designed to Relieve Man
of Small Means in Improve
ment Payments

Pullman people are greatly
pleased with the bill introduced in
the lower house Monday by Repre-
sentative Frank Il. Sanger of this
city and are clamoring for its pasg-
age. The bill is designed to afford
relief for the man of small means
who at times finds it impossible to
make payment of improvement as
sessments when they come due. IN
der the present Law covering the
point when any of the annual pay
ments are not pcid when due the en-
tire assessment comes due and no
payment less than the entire amount
can be made. Under the terms OF
representative Sanger's bill, House
Bill "a, the annual or other state
installments are reinstatod upon pay
ment of all assessments due at that
time, if paid before foreclosure pro-
ceilings have been commenced.
The bill is of interest to practically
every property owner of Pullman, in
asmuch as 100 blocks of street pay
ing are now being peid for by the
property owners on the annual in
stallment plan, the payments cover
ing a period of 10 years. Practic-
ally the same condition prevails at
Colfax and other Palouse country
towns and Representative Sanger is
being commended for his efforts in
behalf of these owners throughout
his district.
The bill is a meritorious one and
should be passed

Miss Melcena LaFollette arrived
Monday from Washington, d. c., to
take up her work as instructor in eX-
preston at the State College. She is
splendidly equipped for the position,
both by natural ability and excellent
training. While a student at the
