wounded in the fracas and another
negro, mistaken for the hunted man,
was shot three times by policemen
and beaten by a mob before 1t was
learned that he was not the man.
The belief, which the police say IS
current among negroes of the city,
that white physicians are abductlng
negroes for dissection purposes, was
held by the authorities to be respon--
sible for the trouble, which started
in Druid Hill avenue, a thoroughtare
largely populated by negroes.
An exchange of greetings between
a white dentist and another white
man, according to the police, inspired
a crowd of negroes with the belief
that the dentist and his friend were
looking for prey for the dissectmg
table, and they started to beat the
two whites. The policemen in plain
clothes arrested one of the negroes,
whose friends turned their wrath
upon the officers, and succeeded IN
releasing the prisoner.
About this time the plain clothes
men were reinforced by two other Of
fcers who attempted to arrest Scott.
The negro fired his pistol at the po--
licemen as he ran. The chase ended
only when he entered house IN
West Saratoga street.

DOLLAR BILLS MOST
EXPENSIVE TO MAKE
EACH GREENBACK COSTS Gov
EMINENT TWO CENTS. PEN
MES - CENTS A HUNDRED

With everybody interested in the
cost of things congress has been IN
curing into the cost of manufactur-
ing money. 1t has learned that it
costs the government a shade under
two cents to make a dollar bill. That
cost includes, in addition to buying
the distinctive paper, engraving the
plates and printing the bill, the out
lay necessary to redeem an old bill
that has become unfit for circulation.
A dollar bill has life Of about one
year, and thus the cost of keeping 1t
in circulation and issuing a new one
in its place when it has become worn
out is about two per cent of It's value.
1t costs the government no more to
manufacture a $40 bill than it does
81 bill, and the $50 bill lives much
longer. AS bills grow larger in de-
nomination their period of life IN
creases. A S. bill has life of from
three to five years, while $40 bill
will wear from five to ten years. The
larger bills are not so constantly IN
circulation.
Pennies are a very profitable coin
for the government to manufacture.
They cost about II cents hundred.
including material and workmanship.
This cost is higher than few years
ago, because of the rise in copper.

Man, Condemned to Die as Murderer,
Is Put in Death Cell and Forgotten

Douthitt caught the ear of a news
paper reporter, and in this manner
his strange case was made known.
For Gods sake, tell them if they
are going to kill me to go ahead; this
is worse than death in here" was the
convict's plea.
The same plea, Warden Chiffon said
had been made to him time and again,
but, the warden said, he presumed the
governor had his case under considera-
ton.
In the meantime, Gov. Stanley had
resigned his office to become United
States senator; Gov Black, succeeding
him, had overlooked the warrant and
it was not until Gov. Morrow, who
took office Jan. /, had his attention
called to the strange delay that ne
managed to dig up the records.

DRINK HOT TEA 0
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup OF
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

Senator Glass Goes
After Excess Profits Tax
lFrom The New York SUM-

Fresh from the Treasury Depart
ment to the Senate, Mr.. Carter Glass
is going 10 pitch in and try for the
repeal or modification Of the excess
profit tax. What Senator Glass. like
others who agree with him, viii fnd
himself up against in this fight is the
superstition OF a large part Of the ma
ti0nal population, even Of a consider
able part Of the Congress membership,
that the one tax which the public
doesn't pay is the excess profits tax.
The public, in fact, does pay the ex-
cess profits tax. 1t pays II ALL II pays
It several times over. Worst Of all. be-
cause Of the economic consequences OF
such a tax, II will go on paying it long
after the government ceases TO collect
II.
The public pays the excess profits
tax In the added prices passed along
10 the consumers by the industries and
businesses assessed for the tax. The
public pays more than the actual tax
in the waste and squander to which
such industries and businesses are en-
couraged by the excess profits meas
ure. The public pays st'll more In the
reckless management and demOralized
working forces which slow down pro-
ductlon which, II IL went beyond a GER
tain point would go into taxes. The

Combinations of Labor
lFrom the New York TrIbune.l

II plans under consideration fruc-
tify there will soon be organized one
central labor body with some sort OF
jurisdiction over all the unions Of this
city-one thousand locals, with pos
slble membership Of 100000.
The project is an interesting one,
and II carried through may have inn
portant effects on the life Of the seven
million people who populate the
metropolitan area. 1t has been estab-
lished that an organized minority has
great advantages over an unOrganized
majority. II the unionlzed labor comes
together into a compact mass and falls
under the control OF a small body Of
directing chiefs II can have about its
own way for a considerable period.
Combinations may be beneficial. They
are the cement of modern civilization.
But they may be evil. All depends on
the purpose. Is the prime object OF
the mnion Of unions TO advance the
general good, or is II to benefit only
its own members as a class? Let its
organizers answer.
A chamber Of labor is itself no more
Objectionable than a chamber Of COM
merce. There are many things an as
ISOLATION of those in kindred pursuits
may do which are no menace to the
general good. But when the line is
passed whose existence all apprehend
although none can exactly trace it, the

and stronger demand, as expressed In
curracy imitation, upon smaller and
smaller supply under that slackened
production included by the excess prof
us tax. And the living cost effects OF
this habitual lnefilcency will contiue
for a long time.
But millions OF simple minded citi-
zens were never surer Of anything
than that they do not pay the profits
taxes collected from richly earning IN
dustries and businesses. They never
were surer OF. anything than that II
the excess proflh taxes were taken Off
those opulent industries and business
es, other taxes, wider and deeper,
heavier and more heart breaking,
would be piled upon the American
peoples aching backs.
So Senator Glass has undertaken no
easy Job. Yet Il is not more a for
lorn hope than ii was TO try TO make
the public see the fallacy Of the old
free silver hallucinatlon. Ex-Secretary
Glass has a clear brain, he expresses
his thoughts very simply. Those who
listen 10 him he strongly impresses
with the earnestness of his purpose
and The honesty Of his convictions. If
he keeps on telling the truth about
this vicious, costly and ruinOus tax, II
he persists in hammering II in again
and again, sooner or later 1t must
penetrate every head Of common sense.

combination becomes a conspiracy. En-
gage in such conspiracy and, soon or
late, the grapes of wrath are trampled
out. There must be more than a foun-
dation Of sellshness II there is TO be
built a temple Of happiness.
A special problem before this coun-
try is the inspiring Of our laboring
masses with lofty ideals and develop
ing keenness Of popular intelligence.
Power is now with the proletariat. It
VIII be more IN the future. The doc
trines OF hate and dlstrust have been
assduously preached II is time for
something better. The associated unions
may do a great work, but they must
forever fight against the known ten
delcy to misuse power. Society,

itself against a similar abuse by the
