NEGRO SOLDIERS AND CIBILIANS
HAVE CLksU in BISBEE. FIVE
KVUNDED.

Bisbee, Ariz., Jlly Alive persons
were wounded in a feht mere be-
tween soldiers of the snth United
states cavalry (neglo) and civilians
at midnight last night.
Three negro soldiers came here
nom Fort Huachuca under command
of Colonel George b. White for pa
rade today, and the trouble is said to
have started with a taunting remark
to George Sullivan, military police
man for the 10Th United States cav
airy, as he was pt ssing negro clilb.
Sullivan was attacked, his pistol
taken from him by negro troopers,
and police and civilians tnen joined
in the fight.
The negroes refused TO disarm at
the request of their officers, who then
started out lor general disarming Of
all negroes, in the course of which
nearly hundred shots were exchang-
ed Fourteen of the negroes were
arrested and turned over to the mill
itary authorities and police after the
trouble had ended
The wounded were three negro
troopers, Deputy Sheriff Joseph Hard
wick and a Mexican woman.
The troops Of the first cavalry ar
rived from Douglas early today to
assist military authorities and the
Bisbee police in preventing a recur-
renee OF the trouble. Authorities
were undetermined whether to per
nit the negro troops to participate
in the Fourth of July parade as
planned.

He CAN'T ESCAPE.

The Clown Prince" continues to
live up 70 his name. With fine
sense of honor and display of graf.
itude for the refuge afforded him by
the Netherlands government, he
sneaks away to Germany, probably
believing that he can hide in some
familiar haunt and to save his worth

which impels the one-time heir to
the imperial throne or the Hohen-
zollerns is unlikely The German
people are scarcely foolish enough
to stand for another dose of Kaiser
ism with their sufferings rom that
blight being made palmer every day.
No; what Frederick William had in
his one by two mind was to save his
hide il possible by escaping from
Holland before that country turned
him ana his tree-chopping father over
TO the allies to answer for their
crimes. He may find that his person
Is not as sacred as it once was. It
would be just retribntion were the
German people to make him pay with
his life for his years of accommodating
folly In any event 1t is improbable
rat he will long be at liberty. He
stands indicted and must face his
accusers despite his rat-lile efforts

SON TO INHERIT ESTATE If HE.
ACQUIRES BARoNETCY.

LoDdon.-Under the will of the late
C, w. Wallace, an Indian merchant.
$1,250,000 is left to the British Gov
eminent in the event of his sons
sailing to acquire "baronetcy or
superior title"
The testator's only surviving SON,
Captain w. w. Wallace, has not re-
ceived baronetcy and the executors
are seeking to set aside the clause in
the will on the ground that it is OPP
posed to public policy. Such wills,
they contend, embarrass officers Of
the Crown in the distribution of
honors and induce other persons con-
cerned to adopt improper means to-
obtain titles.
Mr.. Wallace explained his condi-
tional gift by saying in his will:
Il do this because hold the view
that, subject to the testator's right
to make ample provision for his
children, all possessions, great or
small, If acquired from or through
the people, as mine we're, should re-
turn to the people. l am not acting
fully up to this view in the case of
my children, because the law does
not enforce it upon all Others"

NO MORE HYPHENATEs SAYS
GENERAL WOOD.
Those Of Alien Birth Have Proven BY
Their Loyalty That They Are
Americans.

washington, July 10.-General Leon
ard Wooa. Colonel OF the Rough
Riders when Roosevelt was Lieuten-
ant Colonel, trainer Of two divisions
in Kansas camps in this war, former
Governor of Cuba, and in executive
authority in the Philippines. former
chief OF staff, the only general officer
wounded at the front in France, and
now in command of the Central De
partment, at Chicago had this to say
al commencement exercises here:
"At this time last year we were
looking forward to long war Our
troops were just commencing to play
an important role in the great strug-
gle for civilization and fair dealing
amoung peoples Today the nations
are engaged in preparation for a just
and. we hope, lasting peace. One
of the first problems that confronts
us is the return to their homes of the
men who are coming back from over
seas. Their objective was the enemy
and they got him. Our men fought
with splendid courage. They lived up
to the highest traditions of our mill
tary service andNin their performance
of duty gained the admiration OF
Europe. They never failed. They al
ways took took their objective.
"Now is the time to show an intel
ligent appreciation of what these,
men and the men IN the training
camps have done. There are four
millions of them. There influence in'
this country is going to be very pow,
erful If we do the right thing to-
ward them, we shall have in the
home of each one Of them center
of patriotism and spirit Of service
which will go far to keep alive a
sound patriotic spirit A great part
of the world is very much upset and
dangerous ideas are abroad. We
want to keep our feet on the ground
and hold on to the ideals and pol
icies which have made us great, to-
the constitution and the policies
whose wisdom has been demonstrate
ed by our security and progress. We
must do all we can to continue to
build up sound national spirit,
an intense Americanism. We must
complete the work Of fishing into
one homogeneous mass of Americans
Vne various elemeutS WHICH make up
our population. We have had in our
armies representatives of all the
fighting groups in Europe, and |
want to say a word Of appreciation
Of the loyalty of the citizens of alien
descent. Some of them came from
the blood strains of our enemies We
have only to read the lists of our
dead to realize that these Americans
of German and other descents have
been loyal. They have written anew
their oath of allegiance. This time il
has been written in their own blood.
These new people are now a part of
us in every sense. So let us hear no
more of hyphenated Americans and
look upon all who have been loyal as
Americans.

NEGRO TORTURED, BUT
SUFFERED SILENTLY

Tormented by the flames which
Tapped his legs and reached to his
trunk, strangled by the moose, his
limbs jerked from below, Lloyd Clay,
young Negro of "a ears, made no
cutlery.
He lifted his arms. placed his
palms together in an attitude Of pray
err, but made no sound.
AS the flames burned higher, he
raised his legs doubling them up
in vain effort to escape the blaze.
The mob, taking the Negro from
the Jail shortly before 8 o'clock last
night as the man guilty of attempted
criminal assault upon Miss Matte
Hudson, was placed on truck and
rushed around the corner of Clay
Street turning East.
A bowling mob followed. The
truck was loaded with men who
shrieked their delight in having the
man in their possession at last.
Probably two dozen automobiles
followed. Others quickly arrived.
Girl Identifies Negro
In the meantime a delegation had
gone for Miss Hudson, They brought
her to the corner OF Farmer and
Clay Streets where the party met
the Negro and his escort of many
hundreds.
In p nomeng the corner was block
ed VITA cars and human beings.
Shouts, howis, and the screech of
motor horns made deafening SOUND.
In the midst of this confusion the
men brought Clay to Miss Hudson.

She gave her decision and thun-
derous shout went ups
Negro Stripped, Beaten
The mob fell Upon the Negro,
snatching away his clothes and beat
ing him. He was dragged further to-
ward First North.
"Shall we 10 it?" asked a big man
OF the crowd.
The answer came in one long CON
tinued cheer of approval
Three men climbed an elm tree
directly in front of Mrs. Ida M.
Keefe's residence When stout
rope came into view the mob went
wild.
Men from below attempted to tie
Clay to the rope but failed to make
good moose. The Negro was haui-
ed up five feet and then clipped
back.
The sight of the mule body rising
above the crowd increased the ex-
citement.
Another attempt was made and
soon the Negro was hanging by the
neck from a good strong limb Of the
tree.

ARROGANCE AS a WRECK

Even now when two Prussians
meet they are apt to click their
heels and exchange the old military
salute. On the sidewalks of Ger
man city may be seen reminders of
the goose step, a stilted symbol of
imperialistic Journalism and auto
matte submissiveness. The army Of
ficer still shoulders the civilian Off
the sidewalk unless the latter yields
the way A race accustomed to such
things from their cradles keep it
UP to some extent involuntarily. For
them the world has gone wrong II
the militaristic ceremonies are now
but a foolish mummery. Frederick,
as hard an old cynic as ever lived,
could see nothing but a grenadier
in a six-footer, and nothing in an
army reverse but a necessity for
more drill and enlargement of plans
for the robbery of neighbors. His
diplomacy was throughout a system
of elaborate treachery. He had no
faith in divine government, nor in
men unless they were his soldiers
sworn to personal obedience. Three
words only we're allowed them. FAC
cording to orders" was their life
long motto. Arrogance that has been
baffied and beaten, but not humbled.
Is sorry spectacle. 1t suggests a
detached cheat at cards who still
puts on air and tries to bluff through
the evidence against him in plain
sight. Even though dragged out he

THE SOUTHERN WHITE MAN.

The practice Of white people in
certain counties In Texas and other
Southern states, organizing them
selves into mobs OF defense against
the Colored people oftimes on ground
less rulnors, should ceased. This Ia
not ccuntry Of mobs and disorder,
but one OF law and order. This
other harmful talk about this being
white mans country" should be
cut out. We are breaking with the
past with all It's memories and some
are dear. We are coming to a new
day and It's work calls for the new
thought. In this new day. there
must be new way Of finding out
the value OF man, and new way
determine his classification.
We can no more decide by look
Ing at the color Of mans skin or
the texture of his hair what place
he shall occupy in human society.
Character and Atness, constitute the
new measure OF the man, and to this
measure, white men of the south and
white men everywhere must come.
Only the other day when this gov
eminent issued liberty loan bonds
they had no color or racial designa-
ton. And that other day, where the
nation was imperiled. when hostile
army thlndered at our gates and
threatened our institutions. the call
went forth for men to engage In the
rough work OF war, and that call
had no reference to the Colored OF the
man who answered.
Let the great white men of the

are worn and customs which can-
not further serve, for the acquisition

BURNING AT STAKE IN
THE UNITED STATES

Negro became horribly distorted with
pain. He assumed an attitude OF
prayer, raising his hands palms to-
gether.
Some one in the rear Of the crowd
fired pistol into the air.
Three seconds later firearms were
popping on all sides. Even women
were seen to shoot revolvers.
Stray bullets struck two onlookers,
Benny Stafford, who suffered a
wound in the chin, and an old man,
Charles Lancaster, who will likely
die.
The wounding of the bystanders
did not detract interest from the CEN
trail figure in the CHASTITY episode.
The fusilade of shots kept up for
several minutes, then the crowd be-
gan hubbub of gloating over the
wretched from shrivelling mummy
like on the rope.
A can Of gasoline was thrown on
the blaze and this burned brightly
for thirty minutes. The lower part
of the body was thoroughly crisped.
the feet burned off and a large part
of the carcass charred.
The legs of the corpse curled
backward grewsomely. The flesh
fell off and the knee-bones showed
through.

Is a question whether the work of
disoiplining Germany is finished, or
Is only begun. However, the sign
ing Of the treaty is at least a def.
mite step toward the conclusion Of
peace. The affixing of signatures by
the Berlin representatives Is great
humiliation for Germany and great
triumph for the allied and associated
powers; and IL the event itself does
not of necessity bring peace, it is
at least sharply significant of the
prostrateness of Germany at this mo-
ment, and it ends the history of
the nefarious structure designed and
erected by Bismarck. Though the
feeling Of qualification today is gem
orally less acute throughout the
world than it was on armistice day,
still every one must experience a
distinct sensation OF pleasure over
the historic event in the Hall Of
Mirrors, sensation that cannot be
obliterated by realization of the
uncertainties of the future. For af-
ter all, the ally powers have the
whip-hand, and whether Germany
yields gracefully or otherwise, still
it must yield in the end if only its
conquerors will stand solidly togeth-
