MACHINE GUN
CARGO MYSTERY
Government Hunting For
Party Who Put NUM-
tionS on Steamer
QUESTION NOW ONE
OF OWNERSHIP

NEW YORK. June 17.-owner-
ship OF the 4e5 machine guns and
the hundreds OF spare parts, seized
by custom officials after they we're
found secreted on the steamship
East Side, and presumed to have
been destined for Ireland, are still
subject Of investigation by govern
ment officials. The guns, through
the agency of a federal warrant of
detention, were restored yesterday
to the possession Of customs officials
from whom they were taken on a
search-and-seizure warrant by the
Hoboken police.
A hearing set for yesterday was
intended to bring out the story OF
how they came to be on board the
ship and to establish the claim OF
Frank Williams that they we're
stolen from his warehouse, but the
hearing was declared OFF after the
federal writ had been served.
Customs officials said they would
take the arms from Hoboken police
headquarters to a customs store
house tomorrow and there hold
them until the mystery surrounding
their discovery is solved. Federal
agents are working on several angles
OF the case. including an attempt to
trace the gums from the factory in
which they were manufactured
They are also questioning present
and former members OF the crew.
The inquiry will extend to Norfolk,
to which port the ship cleared after
leaving New York last night
Mr.. Williams. through his attor-
ney, Is also conducting an investi-
CATION to determine the identity OF
the parties who. he claims, stole the
guns from his warehouse. He is
also concerned regarding the where
abouts of 105 additional machine
guns which he said were stolen al
the same time and have not yet been
found. Mr.. williams, according tc
City Attorney Fallon. OF Hoboken, is
a contractor, with an office on
Broadway, New York.
Advices from Hartford, where the
arms were manufactured, stated that
they were made for the Auto Ord
nance Company Of New York and
shipped IN the usual way. At the
office OF that company here knowl-
edge OF their sale to Frank Williams
was disclaimed.

NOTHING DONG.

rENHE question TO whether the United States should
Il pay tho rcparatons commission for the German
shipping seized by this country at the outbreak OF the
war to before that body for determination in he
near future But whatever decision reached It can
have binding effect upon this country.
The United States has agreement to abide by what
the roparaons commission may do, refusal to be-
come party to the Versailles treaty having settled that
point
Neither is It likely that Congress will authorize
payment to the commission to anybody else for the
German ships captured at the beginning OF the war.
Practically every OF the allied nations has enriched
Itself the expense OF Germany through reparatons or
indemntes, but the United States gets nothing from
either
Why does not the reparations commission assess the
value and other trophies captured by
forces in the neld awaiting distribution among
the states and the United states 10 for
them2
The suggestion is hardly ridiculous than 10 seek
payment for the former German vessels.

EARLY POTATO BLIGHT
CAN BE REMOVED

Investigations made in the biology
department of the Southeast Missouri
State College in regard to early pota-
to blight show that this disease is
widely prevalent, not only thruout
Southeast Missouri. but all over the
country. 1t takes from one-fCurih ~
one-half OF the potato crop every
year. This means Il heavy loss to
the country and is one that can be
avoided. If potato vines are sprayed
with Bordeaux mixture thrCuout the
growing season every ten days from
the time that they are four or five
inches high, they will be free from
Early Blight. This simple and easily
applied treatment would save hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to S. E.
Missouri every year Further infor-
nation concerning this serious pest
can be secured by writing to the hi
ologv department of the Southeast
Missouri State College.

NEGRO EQUALITY IN
MISSOURI SCHOOLS

The colored contingent in the Re-
publican party have at last found
an outspoken advocate. Speaker
OFallon of the House told the men,
bers the other day that he favored
opening the State University and
Teachers Colleges to negroes, in the
event Lincoln Institute could not be
made an institution of higher learn
ing. He declared with all the old
time fervor of the Republican of the
sixties that he went to school with
negroes, when boy, and did not feel
any the worse for it. The speaker
further more urged Walter Hall
Moore to support the County Unit
Bill because he said 'it means more
school for negroes.
Such declarations can only have
one effect upon the younger genera
tions among the colored race, and
that is to intensity their ambitions
for social equality. Equal access to
the same institutions of learning is
but one step toward equal privileges
in restaurants, hotels and all places
of public entertainment. Ii we are to
be transported into this seventh
heaven of the hypocritical negro low
er, and Missouri is to be placed in the
same class as Illinois and Iowa, then
the miscegenation bills, introduced
in the Senate by Senator Pencil, and
in the House by Mr.. Dyott, should be
revived and put upon their passage.
The shame of the white race in Mis-
souri, should be made complete by
these lineal descendants Of the car
petbag crew, driven from the south
in the seventies by the Ku-KluX-
Klan.
Negro equality means only trouble
for the negro, and is only advocated
for the purpose of deceiving them in
to adhering blindly to the Republican
faith. 1t is offensive to Missourians
of whatever generation, and 1t will
be even more offensive If our schools,
colleges and universities are to be
made the football of one-horse Re-
publican politicians in their silly
pandering to the negro vote.-Mis-
souri, State Journal.

INFORMATION ON OSTEOPATHY

The Osteopathic physician recog-
nizes the fact that all the vital ac-
tivities of the body. such as circuia-
tion, digestion, secretion, eXc"etion
absorption and elimination are
wholly controlled by the nervous
system. He also knows that any
pressure or irritation to, or a blood
supply that over-feeds or starves, a
normal action of that nerve or center
and this in turn alters the functions
of the vital organs controlled by it.
All disease is due to an abnormal
condition in one or more body Iro-
cesses. The Osteopath goes to the
cause of disease and aims his treat
ment at the removal of that cause.
When the cause of altered function
is removed, then that function vii
Iresume normal proportions and the
body mechanism moves smoothly
and health is the result. Infectious
diseases are we'll handled by Osteo-
pathy. There must be an area of
tissue with lowered resistance before
germs can take hold The Osteopath
removes the cause of the lowered re-
sistance and the tissue is again able
to fight the germs and overcome them
and a healthy condition follows.
Health of any part nor the whole
can not exist without a normal blood
and nerve supply to that part or
whole. Osteopathy establishes that
normal condition in both and nature
then quickly establishes health.
