A.F |. REFUSES To
QUASH COLOR LINE

DENVER. Colo. July = The
American Federation OF Labor IN con
yention here last week washed its
hands OF the color line question by
refusing to pass an equal rights amend
ment to the constitution. leaving the
matter up to the individual jnrisdIc-
tions.
The convention took the stand that
national and international unions could
not be compelled 10 recognize Negro
workers. and that this was a matter
to be adjusted by conferences between
them and the various organizations.
Replying to a question from the
floor as 10 whether it was possible TO
force any affiliated union to wipe out
the color line" President Gompcrs
said:
The American Federation OF Labor
has previously declared that it is the
duty OF all workers to organize re-
gardess OF sex, nationality race, po-
itical belief or color The federation
however. cannot force this view upon
individual or affiliated unions without
their consent"

DEAD WOMAN 8
HEAD IS ALMOST
CUT FROM BODY
No Motive Other Than Jealousy
Can Be Found

Deep mystery surrounds the fatal
stabbing of Mrs. Anna Levert i'll her
home, 3540 State st.
Mrs. -evert. who lives in the top
apartmeiit, was found dead in her bed
late Monday afternoon by Edward
Goosby. a roomer there, when he re-
turned from work.
The dead woman was found lying
across the bed with her head supported
by pillow. She was fully dressed and
had evidently been placed there after
having been murdered.
Her throat was cut from ear to ear,
almost severing her head from her
body
Robbery No Motive
From the looks of the house robbery
was not the motive for the murder
Nothing was missing, nor were there
any signs of struggle.
When Goosby returned from his
work late in the afternoon he was
shocked to find Mrs. Levert in a pros
trate position across the bed. He i'm

ton showed that she had been dead
several hours.
Tenants in the building heard no
outcry or struggle during the day, and
it could only be deducted that the
woman was murdered sometime be-
tween GAS a. m, and $50 p. m.
Police Hunt Old Sweetheart
Although having no definite clews
to the identity of the murderer, police
are seeking Nathaniel Nelson, an old
sweetheart of the murdered woman,
with whom she had trouble previously
Nelson is said to be extremely jealous
OF her and had threatened her with
violence on several occasions.
The inquest was held Tuesday after
noon at Hills funeral p9rlors.

CAMPAIGN LETTER MAY
BAR '1LILY-WH|TE"
APPO|N 7 MENT

WASHINGTON, D. C, July q
Strenuous objection is being made by
political leaders from all over the
country to appointment of Frank A.
Linney, white, of North Carolina, to
be United States Attorney for the
Western District of North Carolina.
A delegation has arrived headed by
Prof. d. c. Suggs, of Livingstone Col
lege to protest Linney's appointment.
The cause of the trouble is said to
be letter written by Linney during
the campaign as follows:
81 pledge the women of North Car
olina that if we carry the state in this
election you will have strictly white
government, honorable and efficient,
and | further assure the good women
of the state IN the future the Repub-
lican Party's policy will be 70 let the
Negroes stay out of politics."

FRENCH DENY BLACK WAR
BABY FATHERS NAME

PARIS, July 2.-In an official de-
cree last week Louis Barthou, Min
lister of war, refused to grant permis-
sion to Adjutant Salla Dialo of the
Sengalese Sharpshooters to marry
young Gretchen, who had fallen a VIC
tim to his persuasion and had horne
him husky, half-breed son.
Dialo served with distinction dur
ing the war, winning the military med
al, the war cross and other decora-
tions, and besides was wounded three
times.
As a matter of fact, M. Barthou's
refusal is taken in more serious quar-
tiers as the declaration of French
policy not to permit international
marriages which are likely to result
in military knowledge being obtained
by enemy or neutral nations, rather
than any desire to prevent Sengalese
fathers from fulfilling their moral du-
ties by giving a legal status to their
illegitimate offspring.

Special Harvest is Five DAYS
Ahead Of Normal.

1t is always wise to select seed corn
early in ENTHUSIASTICALLY enough to
escape killing frosts. That is why the
agricultural extension division at Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, has year after
year fixed on September 1920 as Seed
Corn Time-a period for the special
harvesting Of seed corn for the follow
ing years planting. Killing frosts do
not come in Minnesota usually until
after September 20.
This year, because of the early sea-
son and the advanced stage OF the
corn crop, farmers have an extra
chance to beat the attacks of the frost
king. The corn crop has matured
earlier than usual because it got an
early start, and to get corn that will
mature in about the same number Of
days next year selection should be
made somewhat earlier than usual.
Corn may have to be planted later
next year than it IVES planted this,
and IL it is not early-maturing it may
not come through in time to escape
next years frosts. FOR THESE
REASONS SEED CORN TINE THIS
