 to Wilds of Devon.
MET ALLEGED THIEF
 IN CANNON ST. CAFE

Coming to this city from South Nor walk to attend a meeting of butchers last June, John w Partridge was led by a slick stranger to the wildsa of De won and there robbed of his gold watch. In the Criminal Superior court this afternoon Partridge told Judge Webb and q jury of his adventures with Babe Labelle. who was charged with assaulting Partridge and taking the timepiece. Babe" is a husky youth and not a chorus lady, as his name might indicate.
 Partridge testified that on the night of the crime he went into Wall street saloon to inquire for another butcher and Labelle saw him there. Then Partridge went to e Cannon street cafe and was told to go to De von to find the butcher. Labelle pro- jected himself into the conversation by announcing that he lived in Devon and would show Partridge where to find the butcher. When they arrived in Devon, Partridge says LabeIle was more interested in stealing his watch than in finding the elusive butcher. The trial was resumed this afternoon.

Socialists Charged
w ith Proselytingg
Negro Republicans
Ohioans Assert Friends of
Wilson Are Using Their
Influence i'm Association
for Aid of Colored People

The Republican National Committee
is investigating the charge by Ohio Re-
publicans that prominent Socialists
friendly to the Wilson Administration
on account of favors received, are
using socialism in Northern states to
wean Republican negroes away from
their natural political affiliation, there
by causing a net loss to the Republi-
cans.
The Ohio Republicans are inclined to
blame the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored People
with having to do with the Socialist
propaganda, although no positive proof
is furnished that its prominent mem
bers do more than to advocate social
ism.
1t is said Mary White Ovington,
chairman of the board of the National
Association for the Advancement Of
Colored People, has been active in Co
lumbus, O.. among colored women, and
that, as result Of her activities, a
Negro women's Republican club in Co
lumbus has become Independent" with
decided Socialistic leanings, the alleged
grievance against the Republicans be-
ing the failure Of the Republican state
Legisla to pass an equal rights"
bill.
1t is asserted the Wilson Administra-
ton has been playing up" to certain
men who pose as leaders of the ne
groes, and that the Bureau of Public
Information in Washington paid liber-
ally the expenses to Washington of
various editors of papers with circula-
tions among negro Republicans, for the
purpose Of having them harangued by
Democratic Senators and Representa-
tives about the intention of the Wilson
Administration to bring about better
conditions among southern negroes,
and making the President the negro's
friend
Frederick R. Moore, editor Of "The
New York Age" said yesterday:
81 honestly believe the National AS
sociation for the Advancement of Col
ored People is political and non
partisan. | doubt whether it can be
proved that the association is trying
to make Democrats out Of Republicans.
1t probably is true that Miss Ovington
is Socialist. oS is William English
Walling, and perhaps DR.. Burghardt
Dubois is Socialistically inclined. They
are members Of the association. SO
are John E. Milholland and other Re
publicans. Personally, do not believe
that any one will be able to make any
considerable headway in getting the
colored men and women of this country
to vote the Democratic ticket"
