Easter Sunday was glorious day
for the citizens Of Davenport, the first
thing notable during the day for the
citizens Of Davenport, the first thing
notable during the day was the yes
per services held ut the Y. w. @. A. at
$50 q. m. The Y. w. Glee club sang
several Easter anthems, after which
short talks were given by several Of the
Y. w. G. A. leaders. About 7:15 the
few Of the older girls entertained a
number Of young men to breakfast at
$3.50 q. m. The young men claimed the
Y. girls were some entertainers, and
their cooking was some thing worth
while speaking about although the fell
lows did furnish it. But it was an affair
to be remembered long by those who
partook of the same.
The next event was the sermon
preached by the Rev DIR. s. B. Moore
Of the Bethel A. M. E. church. It seem
ed that the pastor, Rev. Moore was GER
tainly in accord with the Easter tide
for everyone was well pleased with the
sermon. The church was decorated in
the usual manner for Davenport, with
palms and flowers and Easter colors
of the day was the program rendered
by the students Of the Sunday school,
which drew quite a crowd, to the ser
vices. Afer he day was gone he people
who appeared about the church said
tn Easter day had not been spent friv-
ilously, and everyone was happy, spread
ing their glad attire.
We are quite sorry to relate at this
writing that the Mrs. 8. B. Moore, wife
Of our pastor, Rev. Moore is quite ill
She has been ill for a number Of days
and at. one time was not expected to
recover but has since passed the danger
point. but is yet quite ill. We all wish
her a speedy recovery.
There is quite lot of competition
going on between the teams recently
organized by the members of the Bethel
A. M. E. church. They are planning
for big rally to be pulled off during
the month of May and the finals to be
on June the first. The pastor picked
out some very competent captains and
they are all working hard to out-do
each other. The captain reporting the
most funds will be given banquet
that is to he and his associates in his
team by the rest Of the teams. Here
and there can be frequently heard
words HNever mind Til be the one
to sit down at the banquet table, and
with little laugh of confidence walk
spryly away. But we III all know when
the finals are counted.
There was quite time held at the
A. NJ E. church Sunday afternoon. The
N. A. A. G. iP. was favored with a lee
ture by the assistant secretary, Mr..
White of the National headquarters of
New York City. The affair proved to
be quite success, both numerically
and financially for the local branch.
Sunday morning will be spectacular
one for the members and friends Of the
A. M. E. church and they will be fav
ored with rare treat. The REV.
Moore has secured two of the race

ALTERABLE DECISION
MADE BY PRES. WILSON
BUT NOT MADE PUBLIC
ORv The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 49,
An unalterable decision in the rail-
road wage controversy was made to-
day by President Wilson with TIE rep
resentatives of the brotherho< is. The
president said the governments poll
cy was based on justice to all inter
ests."
The decision was not announced at
the White House. Officials said il
was "a decision containing a propos-
al" From this it il assumed the
president had refused to grant the
general wage increase, but had made
a counter proposition to the men. The
White House expected to issue a
statement later.
B. VI. Jewell, representing the en-
ployes department of the American
Federation of Labor, said the propos-
al would have to be put up to the
men before any announcement was
made by the union representatives
The president met the union repre-
sentatives on the south portico of the
White House and read statement he
prepared after study Of the report on
wage negotiations submitted by Di-
rector General Hines. The confer
ence lasted about fifteen minutes.
The president was in n wheel chair.
The president had dictated a
memorandum embodying his decision
and this was read TO the brotherhood
representatives. This was the first
conference the president has had out
side Of the sick room since his illness
egan last fall and the first time he
has seen anyone other than govern

The conference was short owing
to the restrictions placed on the pres

Grayson. Besides Jewell and Shea,

Of Railway Telegraphers was present
at the conference.

Plea Of Guilty Brings Impris-
onment for Life for Murder
of Toribio Rodriguez

Pedro PaZ, charged with Antonio
Rocha, deceased. for the shooting and
killing of Torbio Rodriguez at the
Calabasa ranch, fourteen mil<l =.

was sentenced to life Imprisonment
IN the state penitentiary, by a jury
In the district court Thursday after
noon. Paz had entered plea of
guilty. The jury was out about an
hour, when it reported having reach
ed a verdict.
The trouble is said to have origi-
mated in land disputes some years
ago in the Calabasa ranch neighbor-
hood. Paz and Rocha formerly had
resided on the American side, but
moved to the Mexican side Of the riy-
er during the bandit troubles of 1915
and 1916. The two men crossed the
river to the American side and chased
Rodriguez, who sought shelter in the
home of relative of Paz's. He used
a woman as a shield, according to tes-
timony by witnesses, when the strug-
gle moved to the outside, where Rod
riguez was shot first by Paz and then
by Rocha.
Rocha and Paz swan back to the
Mexican side of the river after the
killing. and several days later were
arrested by the Mexican authorities
at the request of American officers.
Some time later the Mexican authori-
ties notified Sheriff w. T. Vann that
Paz and Rocha, who had been held
in Jail at Matamoros, would be de
livered to him at Reynosa, Mexico.
The sheriff crossed to Mexico at Hi
dalgo, Texas, to receive the two men.
He was waiting in the custom house
ferry. on the Mexican side, when he
heard shots. Investigating, he found
that Rocha, in attempting to escape
from his Mexican guards, had been
shot to death. Paz was taken to the
American side in the company of
the American officer and Mexican
guards, and was brought TO Browns
vile.
