peculiar power OF guilt, Gibson re-
turned to the scene OF his crime TO
commit suicide after he had been un-
successfully hunted on a charge Of
murder by officers for more than q
week. His body was found several
hours later lying In blood which had
gathered in a CHASTITY pool upon the
floor.
Immediately after killing bis wife.
Gibson fled and although officers got
on his trail within few hours they
were unable to effect his capture. IL
was after the hunt had waned and
residents in the community had start
ed to talking about something else
t&at Gibson returned to his home and
killed himself ON the same spot where
he had shot his wife 70 death. His APP
pearance after death indicated that he
had neither eaten nor slept after the

HOWARD ATTENDANCE INDICATES
TIDAL WAVE OF EDUCATIONAL
INTEREST.

washington. d. c.. Jan. 2O.--with
students from practically every state
In the Union and ten foreign coun-
tries enrolled, the Howard University
opened the Winter Quarter, January
4, 1921, with a record breaking regis
a tidal wave of educational interest.
This was traceable to two causes. In
the first place the war had ended
and students who had dropped their
books TO take up arms were returning
second place the experiences of the
war had taught them the full, value
of training as nothing else could have
done. AS q result many returned to
the school room to resume their stu
dies where they had been left off
years before.
II is surprising but gratifying to
find that this interest in education
has not spent itself but has proven
TO be more healthy and permanent
than was anticipated. The enrolment
at Howard shows an increase in every
department over that Of 1919. The en-

SARAH RECTOR is ATTENDING
KANSAS CITY HIGH SCHOOL.

Kansas City. Mo-, Jan. 20.-Modest-
thy saying that algebra and domestic
science hold more interest for her
than other studies, Sarah Rector, the
richest girl in the world, is pursuing
her studies at the Lincoln High
School, this city.
Miss Rector, about whom the news
papers of the country have had much
to say, is the young Colored girl
from Oklahoma, whose oil holdings
bring her in a fabulous income. But
seeing her in school here, quietly un-
assuming, her financial resources
would never be suspected.

MExIc!AN REsENTs INSULT.
Kills White Travelling Man on Moving
Train Who Referred to His People
as Greasers.

Austin, Texas, Jan 90 National
Negro Press Association Service). Mex
leans resent being called Greassers.
This was demonstrated a short while
ago when white travelling salesman
had his throat cut from ear to ear
after he had referred to the Mexican
people as low-down greasers, The az
fair occurred upon M. X. ana 4.
train. 1t appears that the white travel
ing salesman came into coach which
was pretty well filled with Mexicans
who were going to various points in
Texas and some TO their home in
Mexico from the cotton fields and la
Dor camps. 1t appears that this white
mar could find no seat. He became inS
furiated and blurted out, IL is said,
in substance the following: 1T Is an
outrage that a white man can't find
seat in a train, and that all these
fortably seated while l must stand
up" 1t Is said that be continued this
kind of harranguing for several miles
on the fast moving train until one OF
pulled out his knife and without any
words or quarrel, he proceeded TO
carve up this white salesman, cutting
his throat from ear to ear. 1t Is SAID
that the man died almost instantly.
When two other white men came. to
the rescue of the injured man they
too, were given their share The MeXl-
can was arrested and put IN jail
charged with murder, but 1t Is SAID
that he has made no remarks except
that his people are men and thousands
of them are citizens OF the United
States. II developed that these people
are as much opposed to be'ng called
out Of their names as the Japanese
people in this country are 70
being called Japs, and that this Is
lust as distasteful to them as Il Is
10 Coiored people to call them mig
The affair has created no little
comment, and It is said down this
way that it is the first lesson in q
course that the Mexican people intend
to give to the white people OF the
addressing them in an ungentlemanly
manner.
