In Memory Of Chauncey
Ernest Leathers

We deem ourselves utterly unable
to give adequate expression to the
feelings of our hearts in the sore loss
we have sustained in what seemed to
be the untimely death of our beloved
and efficient teacher, Mr.. Chauncey
Ernest feathers. He was a young
man of unusual ability, of kindly dis
position, of genial spirit, of untiring
effort for good, all of which rapidly
drew us to him. Now that he is
gone, We do not know how better to
express cur feelings than to say, we
loved him, and we keenly feel our
loss. However, we shall think of
him as just gone a little ahead of
US, our leader still, to the Promised
Land; for to such as he was
There is no death; what seems SO is
transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian,
Whose portal we call DEATH
Our temporary loss OF him is
great, but each one of US feels as did
the poet for a friend

COURT MARTIAL
 AGAIN ON GRILL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Reforms- in the present military court martial system were urged today before the senate military subcommittee by J. F.. Runcie of New York, instructor at the West Point military academy. The commission is holding hearings on the resolution of Senator Chamberlain Of Oregon revising the present system of military justice. Samuel T. Ansell, who resigned from the army recently. after making a long fight against the present court martial system, will tes- tify Monday.
 MT Runcie declared the existing articles of war relating to court mar tials were obsolete. unjust, absurd and undemocratic and provide for no auth Oritative interpretation of the court martial code. He also said too arbi- trary power was conferred upon the military officers and there could be no appeal from the court martial pro- ceedings. He recommended modifying existing codes so as to require trials to be conducted by men familiar with law and permit appeal to a body not under military control.

SENATE STILL BUSY BATTING
 PRES. WILSON
Senator La Toilette Gets a Resolution Passed Asking Why Costa Rica "WaS Not
 Permitted" To Sign Treaty

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Public hearings on the economic sections of the Versailles treaty were com pleted by the foreign relations con- mittee and early next week Secreta- ry Lansing probably will be ques- tioned by the committee regarding the treaty's political features.
 At today's session Bernard Baj ruch, and F. w Taussig, economic advisers to the American peace dele gation, explained how the peace con- ference reached some of it's decis- ions regarding German customs reg ulations and indemnity. Their testi mony was largely technical.
 The committees meeting was the only surface development of the day in the treaty situation, the senate de- voting its attention to legislation and Tevertfng to issues of the treaty fight only once. That was when, without debate or roll call, it adopt ed a resolution by Senator LaFol- lette, Republican, Wisconsin, asking the president why Costa Rica twas not permitted" to sign the treaty. Meantime the undercurrent of pri NdIe ulSCuSslOh dmOhSi SehdIOIS SOu' tinued to revolve about a program of four reservation presented by sev- en senators as a basis for ratifica- ton of the league of nations.
 Plans were made for a conference Monday at which the sponsors of the plan hope to gain accession of other Republicans who have been friendly to the league.
 It was made plain today. that it not the intention to try to preserve the exact form of the four reserva- tions. as the negotiations to increase the number of their supporters con tinued. All of the seven are said to be ready to make some concessions

U. 5. CAPTAIN |SWOUNDED IN
 CHICAGO RIOTS
Three Negroes Open Fire on Captain From an Alley, Then Stab Him When He Returns
 Fire; All ,AssaiIants Escape

{. CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Snipers hiding in an alley of the eastern section of the riot zone' attempted to assassi- nate Capt. M. R. Wehrheim, D Com pany, Fourth Illinois Reserve Infan- try, early this morning. He was wounded in the right side by knife thrust, after several shots had been fired at him.
 Captain Wehrheim was on inspec- tion duty when several shots were fired at him by three negroes who stood a short distance in an alley.
 Captain Wehrheim returned the fire as he started for the men and as he reached the nearest of the three the negro made a thrust at him with large knife, cutting through his belt, and inflicting a wound which later was pronounced not serious. The captain fired four shots at the ne groes, and believes he wounded one of the number, as the man fell to his knees but arose and followed his fleeing companions.
 The shooting aroused all the troops in that section of the riot gone" ana a thorough search of the eastern end of the sector was begun.

probable the war department plan will be found to call for the training of youths of IS in- stead of Is as provided in the Kahn-Chamberlain measure.
 Another point on which the de- partment's judgment is awaited with interest is the amount of training to be required.
 Throughout the extended study
 of the subject in which various branches of the general staff have been engaged ever since hOstilities ceased, this has been a difficult problem.
 The Kahn-Chamberlain bill would provide for six months training. There is some reason to believe that the war depart ment would be satisfied with half as much time devoted to intens- i've instruction.
 Limiting the training period to less than six months, some off cers have said, would compel abandonment of all projects for vocational and other educational work. All that could be done. would be to concentrate on pure ly military instruction of a pri- mary nature as the time would not permit more than incidental physical development.

 Conditions" they said in this connection, have meantime ma terially changed during the eight months since November 21 (the date of the bills passage).

He reiterated on July 10, in his address to the senate, that the war had ended Slast Novem- Der, the demobilization of the ar my and navy is now progressing and will shortly be completed; war necessity or emergency has practically ceased to exist and personal, and commercial rela- lions with Germany have been permitted to be resumed and are being conducted"
 Taking up two and three quar- ter per cent beer, the attorneys contend, it has been established by competent evidence that such beverage is not intoxicating, and that 1t is immaterial that con- gress for years taxed "fermented liquors," containing more than one half of one per cent alcohol, as this basis was adopted sole ly for taxation purposes and quite irrespective of the intox- icating quality of the liquor taxed"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The wartime prohibition enforcement bill recently passed by the house and now pending before a senate committee is unconstitutional according to an opinion by Elihu Root, Wr. D. Guthrie, and Wm. L. Marburn, counsel for the United States Brewers association, made public today.
 This \opirion holds that until the eighteenth amendment be- comes effective on Jan. Is, 1920, congress under well settled rules of constitutional law, has no power to prohibit the manufac- ture and sale of beer, whether or not intoxicating"
 There is now no valid reason for the wartime prohibition act, the lawyers declare, and there is no evidence, they add, to support the claim that the proposed en-. forcement measure is necessary or proper to conserve the na- tion's flood supply.
 The opinion, an exhaustive document dealing with all legal phrases of the question, was sent to Christian w. Feigenspan, president of the Brewers associ- ation. The lawyers contended that while District Judge Hand and the New York circuit court of appeals had held the war time act constitutional, the decision

WAR DEPARTMENT TO LAY BILL
 FOR UNIVERSAL WAR TRAINING
 OF US. YOUTH BEFORE CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The war department bill providing for a moderate system of univer- sal military training as the set tied military policy of the ma tion, will be laid before congress without further delay
 Probably it will be in the hands of Senators Wadsworth and Kahn, heads of the two mil itary committees, early next week.
 Previous plans for extended conferences with General Per shing and other overseas off cers before presenting the bill have been abandoned
 Details of the war departments bill have not been made public, there are indications, however, that it differs essentially in some ways from the Kahn-Chamber- lain universal training bill al- ready before the committee.
 In previous sessions of the committee dating back to the preparedness hearings before the United States entered the war, most army officers who tes- tified held that training should be given in the nineteenth year. Secretary Baker expressed the same views and it is thought

J. 5. FARMING LANDS SEIZED
 IN CHIHUAHUA
450O Acres Belonging to U. s.
 And Canadian Citizens Are Condemned, To Be Paid For At Arbitrarily Fixed Prices

FL PASO, Aug. 2.-Forty-five hun dred acres of farming and timber lands, valued at $112,500 (gold) be longing to American and Canadian companies, have been ordered con demned and taken over by the state government of Chihuahua, under ar ticle 27 of the Mexican constitution.
 John c. Hayes, general manager of the Barbicora Cattle company, was mo- tified today of this action, as were the Madeira company officials.
 This land includes 2500 acres, be- longing to the Babicora company, owned by the estate of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, and approximately 2000 acres belonging to the Madeira Lumber com pany, a Canadian corporation.
 The Barbicora property includes large acreage under cultivation by tenant farmers, while much of the Madeira company's property condemn ed consists of timber land, but in- cludes the waterworks constructed near the American lumber town of Madeira.
 The land was ordered condemned by the state agrarian commission un- der the law which permits munich palities to condemn land adjoining townsites for the use of the people residing within the towns.
 These lands are to be paid for in state bonds and the price is fixed ar. bitrarily by the state agrarian com mittee, Mexican attorneys here say.
 General Manager Hayes was notifi- ed that Governor Ortiz of Chihuahua had approved the condemnation pro ceedings and the matter had been re- ferred to the national arrarian com mittee at Mexico City for final ratifi. cation. Protests will be made against these proceedings by both companies, 1t was announced tonight.

NEGRO RIOTERS CHARGED WITH
 CHICAGO FIRE
Six Blocks of Homes in the
 StoCkyardS District Burned;
 Negro Whose Alleged Murder Started Riots, Was Drowned

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-As result oi the fire which early today destroyed six blocks of homes of stockyards workers, negro labor at the yards will be barred to prevent possible recur- rance of race rioting. This announce ment was made tonight after a con- ference of Governor Lowden and the packers.
 The stockyards had been a storm center of racial feeling during the riots of five days this week, and with the disappearance of serious outbreaks yesterday it was planned for the 15,- 900 negro workers to return to their posts at the yards tomorrow, but the fire, which many of the workers made homeless declared was started by ne groes aggravated feeling and changed the plans.
 Although Fire Attorney McCabe de- clared many had told him negroes had been seen to set fires in the neighbor- hood. Governor Lowden was inclined to believe that labor trouble rather than race feeling was responsible.
 Except about the stockyards, racial feeling seemed to have subsided to- night.
 At the fire ruins militiamen were on duty, as well as in the negro district, and houses of refuge for the burned out victims were opened in fire sta tions
 A surprise was caused today when Coronor Hoffman announced that no marks of violence had been found on the body of Eugene Williams, a col ored youth, who was reported stoned and knocked from a raft into Lake Michigan last Sunday. precipitating riots.
 The coroner stated the negro had not been struck by stones, but had been drowned, careful examination by a physician showed

 Only a few minor disturbances oc- cured today. In one case a Mexican, Theodore Gracia, supposed to have been mistaken for negro, was stab- bed, probably fatally, by white men.
 The militia will continue to guard the danger centers for several days. The sheriff announced today he would send 1000 special deputies into the riot district at once. The police still re- main on riot duty, although enough men for traffic duty have been re- leased

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-After a two months inquiry conducted in this city. San Francisco and else where to determine whether there has been a concerted campaign to bar the use of tobacco, now that li- quor has gone by the board, the As, sociation Opposed to National Prohi- bition issued a statement here today charging that the Woman's Temper ance Union was backing a movement to have, anti-nicotine laws enacted in every state
 Tobaccoless by 1920?
 The w. c. T. U. will celebrate it's fiftieth anniversary five years hence and the organization is hopeful of having congress submit a constitu- tional amendment before March 20, 1920, says the statement.
 The $1,000,O00 drive" begun last Mach by the White Ribboners, it is alleged, has for it's object the crush ing of demon nicotine and to this end the anti-prohibitionists say, S3O0,- 900 will be expended on "child vel fare, health and morality, education and information" and other propa- ganda methods by means of the churches and public schools. The Association Opposed to National Pro- hibition further charges the w. c. T. U. with planning to finance it's cam- paign against tobacco without ap- pealing directly for funds or naming the purpose for which the money is to be expended.
 Text Books Used, Charged
 Tn 4R ;X tI,o4 already "in the guise of public school l recitation books which flagrantly vi olate the sanctity of the home and filial devotions, fathers who use to, bacco are portrayed as filthy and un- fit for childish caresses."
 The investigation disclosed, said the statement, that a bill has been introduced in the Georgia legislature to prohibit the use of tobacco in any form and that measures have been taken in the legislatures of other southern and western states to put | ban on cigarettes. The AntiiSaloon League is also accused of actively | aiding the W. c. T. U. and of having indorsed the slogan Nicotine next"
 pr. P Charles Green, of Philadel- | phia was said to have protested to | the public school authorities of his city for permitting, he said, the w. c. T. U. to establish medal contests and offer money rewards to pupils for the best essays on the vicious ness" of tobacco.
