Vereen Finds Business

MOULTRIE, May 11.-"Every-

to prevail that we had turned the
corner and that the improvement in
business conditions could be expect
ed to be gradual but steady" says
W. J. Vereen, who has just returned
from all of the big centers in the

nearly all of these expressed the
opinion that business conditions
were already frightening and that
further improvement was certain
but necessarily would be gradual.
This feeling Mas become more pro-
nounced within the last fortnight,

chinery' l believe that the return to
nCrmalcy will be well under way by

itor-general Of the circuit, Hon. K.
NJ. Owen.
"The slightest effort on your part
to discover the truth Of these cases
would have placed this record at
your disposal and avoided the SLAM
der by you of the judiciary, other
public officers and the people Of The
Rock and Epson county.
IN your entire statement Of these

other than that cases were made
against a negro and his son and
daughter, the cases were tried, the
parties convicted and punishments
named by you imposed; that there
was controversy between the ne

with trespass and on the occasion
of his arrest, near riot was staged.
"Thc white neighbor to whom you
contcmptuously refer is j. Mart

whom there Sno more loyal and
honorable citizen.
"fhe facts stated as to the land
line dispute are untrue. Moreover,
after the line was established by the
district prOcesSiOners, this negro
filed objections and thereafter dis
missed them in court. This same
negro had dispute with another
side, a widow, and not only trespass-

"Ihc charge against the town

that one daughter Mas kicked m tf1C

female ailment, locked i'm Jail and
allowed to suffer there, though
pleading for relief, are untrue.
THE charge that the sheriff re-

these negroes, and under which they
were held is untrue. This is a base

a sheriff as any county ever had.
'The charge that threats of lynch

White was sent to Macon at your re

ARMIsTICE DAY AT HAYS

In common with the majority of
cities and towns Of the U. S. A, Hays
ffttingly celebrated Armistice Day
last Friday, November II.
The parade was formed at the Nor
NAL with the Hays American Legion
heading the procession, with the Nor
NAL Band furnishing the music; next
IN the procession was the Normal stu
dents. They marched north to the
Catholic College where the College
students joined the procession, follow
ed by the Catholic High School and
the parOchial school. Next in line
was the Hays High School, followed
by the Public School. Then came the
autos, fOatst, etc. The procession
then marched along Chestnut street
and back to Sheridan Coliseum by
the way of Normal avenue, where
fitting program was held, consisting
of speeches and music.
Several nice floats were in evi-
dence-the Normal YIN. c. A. and
Y. w. c. A, the Normal Campfire
Girls. Cars appropriately decorated
carried the veterans of the Civil war.
H. w. Chittenden, Hays new post
master, dressed as Uncle Sam, also
was one of the first in the procession.
In the afternoon, a football game
was played between the Hays Normal
Tigers and Southwestern, which re-
suited in a victory for the Normal,
with a score of IA to 7.
1t was a gala day. Most of the
business men closed their places of
business and were present at the
speaking.
1t was also Homecoming Dav for
the Fort Hays Normal, and large
number of former Normal students
were spending the day in Hays, and
attended the banquet at the Normal
in the evening.
The business houses and a great
number of the homes in the city were
decorated with flags and bunting.
George Philip, Sr., owing to his
superior ability as CHAUFFEUR, was
chosen to head the long line of auto
mobiles which were in the procession.
George, Senior, never does any jay

ing the streets of Hays.

SHALL CHINA CONTINE TO BE A
PREY TO THE BRUTAL
POWERS?
(By NJ. H. j.

China is the Samson among the ma
tions-the Samson after Delilah gave
him a haircut.
At the finish will he pull the temple
of civilization down upon our ears?
China has lost the art Of fighting;
she has nothing much better now for
an army than a sort of undisciplined
cOnstabulary force which is a burden
and curse to her.
Within the memory of living men
China went to war-sueh was her
crude method-with a stink-pot in
one hand and a bird cage in the
other.
That stink-pot seems to have sug-
gested to Bill Hohenzollern the mus
tard and other gasses with which he
tried to overcome the Allies in France.
In discussing China we must take into
account a number of peculiar and re-
pugnant things, one or two only we
can refer to here.
The western nations burglariously
invaded China and at this late day we
have got them in hook at Washington
with the stolen goods.
Japan is the last to break in upon
her; now, with what sort of face can
the western powers ask her to get
out?
Can we feel surprise if the Jap
makes up his mind to fight rather
than surrender Shantung and the rail
road line which she holds and the
other spheres of influence which he
has acquired.
China and the Jap are cOnsan-
guineous; they are yellow, essentially
one, and in the last analysis China
prefers the Jap to-the "silver face,
who is a foreign devil" and in my
opinion, at the last roundup, the yel-
low races will stand together.
Now, who is wise enough to fore
cast the result of the Washington
Conference?

A BRUTAL MURDER
ANDREW MILLER, CITY MAR
SHAL OF ELLIS, SHOT IN
COLD BLOOD
One of the Most Brutal and UncaIled
for Killings That ever Occurred
in Ellis County

Last Tuesday night between ten
and eleven o'clock, Andrew Miller,
the City Marshal of Ellis, was shot
and killed in Ellis, by John Green
wood, a notorious character of Ellis
county, who lives in Ellis.
1t seems that the Greenwood resi-
dence is and has been a notorious
hold-out where violators of the law
were in the habit of congregating and
creating more or less disturbance. On
Tuesday night the crowd of toughs
were making more noise and disturb
ance than ever, and the Marshal went
to the house and told them to be
quiet or ne would have to arrest
them, which the Greenwood gang
promised to do. But the Marshal had
not got caross the street until the dis
turbance commenced again. Mr.. Mil
Ter went back with the intention of
quieting them and perhaps arresting
some or all of them. When he got
within thirty or forty feet of the
HOuSts GICCIlWOOu OpCHSu the uOOI
and told him to stop. Greenwood
had high-powered rifle in his hands
"a 1870. When ordered to stop the
Marshal stopped and held up his hands
in obedience to the order, Greenwood
Immediately fired and the Marshal
fell dead, the ball having passed
through his neck and it is supposed
severed the spinal cord.
Greenwood was brought to Hays
and lodged in the Jail by Sheriff Lore
ditsch and Deputy Alex Weltz, and at
the next term of court will undoubt-
edly be sent to the penitentiary for a
long term.
Andrew Miller came to this coun-
try when a mere boy, from Russia.
Just as soon as he could, he enlisted in
the U. S. Army and was stationed part
of the time at old Fort Wallace. After
being discharged from the army, he
lived in this city>and for several years
was city marshal. Then he moved to

Impressions of a Hays Visitor

''This is a day that I shall never

agreeable surprise the whole day"
That is what Frank Montgomery,
Oswego, Kansas, generalissimo of the
Grand Commandery of the State, said
Monday night, after concluding the
inspection of Aleppo Commandery-
He said further that this was his first
visit to Hays and to the Knights
Templar here. He expressed him
self freely in stating that the work
was we'll done and that this Com
mandery ranks among the highest in
the state "You," he continued,
''have every reason in the world to be
proud of your town. 1 have been
taken around to see your institutions
and industries and it makes one wish
to come back" The inspection COM
menced at eight o'clock. The hall
was we'll filled with Knights from La
Crosse, Russell, Plainville, Ellis and
WaKeeney Rev. Mr.. Wilson, an M.
E. pastor of Osborne, was present and
responded when called upon for
speech. He was chaplain during the

and the day is close at hand when a
beautiful park will be a city posses
sion at old Fort Hays, and the south
side will grow and increase rapidly in
population. The. parks, Fairgrounds
and fine school house will be on the
south side.
Nature has indicated the direction
of growth, and the city should take
its cue and build a south side school
house in 1922 without fail. More
than that, the Free Press talks for the
interests of the city at large, having
no city lots to sell and no axe to
grind.

ing the railroad track to get to school.

and acted in that capacity until elect
ed Sheriff of Ellis county, which office
he held four years-from 1911 to
1915. He moved back to Ellis and
was again appointed City Marshal.
''Andy" as he was known by his
friends, was fearless in the enforce
ment of the law and knew no friends
when law was broken. The I. w.
WIS stunned him and passed up the
town. Other lawbreakers did not care
to parley with him.

sons and daughters to mourn his loss,

consider favorably a call to this
church. His text Sunday, was 'NChrist
Died to Save Sinners" The thought
was developed that other thinges may
help for a moment but it is only
Christ who saves. Rev. Snyder cited
several incidents of ''uplift" work he
had seen while doing missionary work
in Chicago to the effect that clothing
and food do not alone satisfy the man
or woman who is down and out-peo-

dollars will be expended for the erec-
ton of a new Cathoic College which
will be located at Hays. The an
nouncement is of great Importance as
the college will be large one. There
will be about six buildings, including
an administration building, gymnas-
