London, Sept. 25th.-A fake message
to BalInorai Castle ostensibly from Scot
land Yard which threw the castle into
a panic and caused the King to change
arrangements is being traced. The
authorities suspect a Sim Feiner
plot though it may only be a cheap
practical joke meant to annoy the Row
al Family. 1t was sent in code 20
the chief detective at the castle where
the King is spending a vacation, warn
ing the King not to go beyond the walls
and advising further instructions would
follow. AS a result the King cancelled
all arrangements for the day including
the annual inspection of the South High
land volunteers Of which the Duke of
York is colonel. Before further advices
were received from London the chief at
Balmoral Castle wired regarding the first
message land was told it did not come
from the yard, but vas a forgery. The
authorities are making strict inquiry
and are inclined to suspect one of the
Irish members of the staff who has
access to the code and may have sent
the message or be at least implicated.

The inhabitants Of the islands are dlvi-
ded into the white, black and 'colored'
people, the las class consisting of the
negroes with white blood. Jackson is a
black, and he and his followers despise
and hate the ''lolored'' class as much as
they do the whites. His teachings are TO
the effect that white and colored are
against tn blacks, that the white man
is for the white man" and that there
fore the black man should be for the
black man.
The activities of Jackson and his union
have resulted in an actual doubling in
pay that the Hlen receive. But, accord
ing to Mr.. Rutan, their morals and their
living conditions are as bad as ever they
were" The Rev. Mr.. Farber, formerly
pastor of the Danish church in Frederik-
sted, and the Rev. w. G. Watson, priest
tiansted, were driven from their church
es into retirement by the activity of
Jackson's followers, who on one occasion
are said to have stoned Canon Watson's
home.
Jackson is represented by Mr.. Rutan
as a restless agitator, whose activity is
not decreasing but increasing. and the
consequences of which have assumed the
most disastrous proportions"
Among the most active Of Jackson's
followers in his Indictment of race ha-
tired was Rev. Mr.. Rutan's predecessor
as curate. of ST. Paul's Church in Freder-
iksted, the Rev. r. g. Barrow. This ne
gro minister was appointed to be curate
of the church, but some months later.
following an interview with Bishop Col
more, who had previously appointed him,
wrote an insulting letter of resignation.
His resignation was accepted, but he
thereafter set up a Schismatic church Of
his own, from which he preached race
hatred. In particular he accused Father
Smith, rector of St. Paul's Church, of
having. removed him because he hated
black men" and of having made state
ments against all black men. These al
legged statements were published in the
Herald and otherwise given wide publici-
ty and were largely believed by the ne
gro population. In addition Jackson's
union took a stand in opposition to the
white rector and in favor of the schisma-
tic church which Barrow had set up,
with the result that a large number of
the negro workers deserted the church
to follow Barrow.

Trolley Cars Ren1ainin the
 Local Barns

The announcement coming from Superintendent Frank L. Kibling of the local lines of the Connecticut company this morning that the ma- jority of the cars that were removed when service was suspended at mid- night on Sunday were still being held in the local car barns on Con greSS street, and had not been ship ped to Norwalk and New Haven, as was previously reported, created the idea about town this morning among the people who are following the jitney trolley tangle that the Con necticut company would resume op- erationl in a weeks time. MT. kib- ling followed his usual policy of q have nothing to say" when asked about the matter this morning and would make no statement in regard to the present trolley situation.
 The fact that the men are reporting g at the car barns twice a day gives further evidence that the officials at New Haven are not inclined to pro- long the cessation of trolley service in Bridgeport.
