Negro Displays Wad in L0-
cal Pool Room and is In
vited To Dinner By
Stranger.
KNOCKED OUT
FOR OVER HOUR
Sparring Partner of the
Sparring Partner of Jack
Dempsey is Arrested as
Result.

When C. B. Tarver, colored, dis
played his wad in a local pool hall
last night, little did he think that he
was going to receive wallop few
minutes later, which would put him
dcwn on the mat, not only for the
count of ten, but put him out for
over an hour.
Tarver, who wanted to show his
friendly spirit and to show that he
was no small town guy, pulled roll
of bills out of his pocket and stepped
to the bar, invited great big buck
niger" as Tarver calls him, to have
drink. The other man, who gives
his name as James Williams, ac-
cepted the invitation and cast long
ing eyes at the roll displayed. When
the drink had been served Williams
asked his new found friend, HAS you
alls, done had supper YETI"
No Tarv4 had not dined and so ac-
cepted an invitation from Williams to
have q bite to eat The two started
down Main street and we'll out of the
lights of the corner lamps, Williams,
SO Tarver states, grabbed him
around the neck and tried to reach
for the money. Tarver emmitted a
yell, the reply to which was a blow on
the jaw whiX sent him sprawling in
the dust not to revive for over an
hour.
Williams was arrested and is now
in Jail facing the charge of assault.
He told the officers that he was a
sparring pardner to Henry Tate who
in turn was sparring pardner to the
worlds champion, Jack Dempsey.
Tarver asserts that "that man done
had wallop like an OF mule" and re-
joicss that he is not singing tenor in
the celestial choir.
Williams was arraigned on the
charge this afternoon in the justice
court and his preliminary hearing was
set for Thursday afternoon.

President, today, transmitted the spec
ial treaty with France to the senate
with message expressing "the ear
nest hope that it will meet with your
cordial approval and receive early
ratification, along with the treaty

to France in case there is any un-
provoked military aggression against
France by Germany. without waiting
for advice or council of the league Of
nations that such action. be taken" He
said it is to remain effective only.
until the league of nations can afford
France sufficient protection.

treaty was presented to the senate

living conditions and the consequent
expensive and unsanitary production

the writer had been given permission
to use farm auto, until used to visit
Chinese gambling joints few miles
from the farm, and when refused
threatened to expose conditions, and
that he asked for two weeks salary
in advance, ETC.; each and every al
legation is false and Furthermore the
writer asks for the publication of the
alleged letter. This will clear up the
matter. AS to my visiting the Chinese
gambling dens the writer is glad to
admit that he did visit them once and
defies Mr.. NOVEL; to prove otherwise.
That the farm auto was loaned farm
hands repeatedly to visit the above
mentioned gambling joints where they
gambled away their earnings and
came back all hours of the night
broke, worn out and useless as farm
hands-was an open secret. That Mr.
Henderson ever did anything to close
up this nearby joint, running in open
defiance of state law, winked at by
county commissioners and sheriff
alike was not heard of. A greater
curse to the dairymen of that section
could not be invented. | regret the
necessity of this personal matter but
much is involved and square deal

CHICAGO, July 29.-One hundred
thousand blacks fought with an equal
number of whites last night, the dis
orders spreading from the black belt
into the North Side, downtown and
the stockyards sections. Simultan-
eously, 1000 fully equipped soldiers
were mobolized to quell the rioters.
Today, the conditions of near anarchy
were increased by the strike of 49,
900 railway employees of the surface
and elevated street railways thus ty-
ing up local transportation service.
The police list of race riot deaths
now total %, the names of three ne
groes and enc white being added to
the list this morning. The wounded
number many hundreds.
Both races deliberately armed them
selves, last night. Wherever they met
they fought, in the streets, alleys and
under cover of houses, while shots
we're fired at the mounted police who
patrolled the boulevards. Patrol wag-
ons collected prisoners, dead, and
wounded; wild screams from terror
lied women and children filled the
air; while the men fought with cud-
gets, knives fists and here and there
with revolvers
Last night, taking advantage of the
disorder thieves and incendiaries be-
came active and there was much loot

The radicals ut the strike meeting

Several shouted. "To hell with the.

and the uproar was so great that
Bland threw up his hands and sat
down.
Then the radicals boosted one Of.
their number to the platform and the
notion to strike was put over with a
roar. The men demand S5 cents an

TRUENOW
TRU ST WAY S
AND w H E. ELS
Some Plain Facts for the
Dairyman
FRANK PELTRET

The farmers of this country
were the first producers to or
ganize against the trusts. The
Farmers Alliance was the first
powerful political foe. The Sher-
man antitrust law was written
on the statute books as a result
of their agitation. Thousands Of
resolutions have been adopted in
as many thousands of farmers
meetings denouncing the wicked
and liberty destroying methods
cf the trusts and demanding that
they be wiped out of existence.
In the early days of the Farmers
Alliance no lawyers nor bankers
were permitted to sit in their po-
litical conventions because, con-
sidered as a whole, they were
believed to be the creatures of the
trusts.
Despite the agitation against
them, despite the Sherman law,
great number of would-be
trusts came into existence. Of
that great number a very few
survive. They were for the most
part the promotions of bankers
and lawyers. Deprived Of certain
monopolistic advantages it is
doubtful whether any would have
survived. Standard Oil was able
to crush competition thru it's con-
troll of the pipe lines thru which
the oil is carried. The Meat trust
was able to crush competition
thru its control of refrigerator
cars and railroad tonnage Con-
troll of patents has built up the
Harvester combine. Secret re-
bates from railroads helped to
build up a number of large con-
earns which since they have lost
these have met successful compe-
tition of much smaller but more
enterprising concerns.
A trust at it's best-or it's
worst--is like man who has
come to the flower of his matur-
ity; after the flower comes de-
cline and decay. The stages of
man: infancy, childhoor, youth,
maturity, age and death are to
be found in all the creations of
man,
