There is much complaint about the
police department. Two charges are
informally preferred-that the depart
ment is lacking in sufficient numeri-
cal strength, and that it is lacking in
"punch"-especially where the negro
is concerned. Major Pullman, chief of
police, has been very active in enforc-
ing the prohibition laws, and he did
not draw his men from the Maryland
border-where they were stationed to
prevent an occasional automobile, con-
tanning a quart of liquor, from enter

members of Congress. This charge is
regarded, however. as extreme, as one

debates on prohibition. and lawlessness

his contempt for law, the police au
thorities, and the battling in the open.
Following the warning Sunday night,
at which time negroes were beaten
but not killed, the negroes armed them
selves, and scored a victory Monday
night. There were many arrests, and
many charges of carrying weapons con-
cealed. The judges of the police court,

fined dependents the limit $500 with
sentences of so days.
There was an apparent tendency on
the part of authorities to suppress the
instruction as ''tenderly' as possible.
1t was known that practically every
negro was armed and prepared for
trouble. And yet members of the home
defense league were either denied arms
or permitted to go about their duty
without protection. In consequence,
one negro, Tuesday night. scored a
triumph. He alighted from a car,
acted uspiciously; he was approached

There is fear that as soon as the

again flare and find expression. Some

The "floundering around" of Congress

The riots themselves grew out of
the determination of the whites to
put an end to repeated criminal as

whom were actually brought to justice
and the determination of negroes
to defend themselves against unwar-

HOW DIAMOND CUTTERS WORK
Three Distinct Processes Before the
Rough Stone Is Considered Fit for
Personal Adjournment.

Few people who wear diamonds
know the story that lies behind them.
To most Of them the diamond is an
agreeable means Of personal decoras

chased an hour or so later In its COM
Portable setting of platinum or gold.
But let us see what lies beyond. Let
us glimpse the long road that stretches
between the miner and the wearer.
There are three. processes in the con-
version of the rough stone into fash
ing brilliance. The first one consists
In cleaning the course stone OF defec-
tive parts and splitting off the flaws.
The second is the cutting, which gives
the stone its form and, in rough way,
determines the number of faces 1t
shall have. Finally, there is the pol
ishing, which gives to these faces
their clearness and brilliancy.
The sawyer, when he finds flaw,
inserts the diamond into sort OF a
cup filed with a fusible cement.
Then, by means of an instrument fur
nished with recently cut diamond,
the edge of which projects sharply, ne
rubs on one of the stones the pointed
end of the other, after which he strikes
lightly in order to separate the two
pieces.
The cutter uses somewhat similar in
struments to the sawyer. He forms
only about one-half Of the faces. leav-
ing it to the polisher to form the re-
mainder.
The diamond is then polished on an
iron plate rotating rapidly and impreg-
mated with diamond dust and oil. It
is set in an alloy Of lead and tin in the
form of cone, of which the stone oc-
cupies the summit. The operation, as
described in the Modern Hospital,
takes long time and requires the ex-
ercise of extreme patience, but the re-
suit is certainly in every sense of the
word "brilliant" one.
