CONSTABLE SHOOTS
A RESISTING NEGRO
Black Opened Fire With An Au-
tomato Hitting Constable
Dan FaIyey.

Sam King, negro, is lying near
deaths door at Red Star, as result
of pistol wound inflicted by Dan
Falvey, constable, Monday afternoon
when King resisted arrest, while the
constable has a wound on one hand
where one of the several bullets fr-
ed at him by King landed.
From information received here 1t
is understood that Mr.. Falvey met
King and Eddie Johnson, both me-
groes, on the road near Red Star,
and having had previous information
that led him to believe they were
carrying pistols, demanded that they
turn their weapons over to him. In
stead of ACCUSING to the constable's
demands it is stated that King made
a hurry call to his hip pocket and
was out with an automatic splitting
fire as it was disclosed. Mr.. FaIvey
returned the fire, although he had
only three cartridges in his pistol.
all of which he used, hitting his
mark twice. King was shot in the
arm and also in the stomach. John
son was also found later to have
pistol on him. it being reputed to be
a 22-calibre pistol, but unloaded,
but he made no effort to take part
with the other negro in any re-
sistance to the officer.
King. the injured negro is said to
have been back in the Red Star
neighborhood for only about month
after an absence from the locality of
seven or eight years.
Sheriff r. G. Applewhite shortly
after the shooting went out to the
scene and brought Johnson in to Jail
as a matter of safety and also in or
der to be certain to have him on
hand as witness when he is need
ed.
Constable Falvey was not arrested
at the time, it not being deemed ne
cessary on account of the known GER
tainty that he will be on hand when
a disposition of the affair is made in
the courts.

parties.

Congress is feverishy appropriating money for
army and navy purposes beyond any country in
the world We still at work the 1916
program for which $544000000 was appropriated.
The work is about half finished, and it will take
a half billion dollars more to complete it, with
vast additional sums to supplement it with air
plane and other service.
The secretary of the navy reported Dec, l,
1920 that we had fit for service on that date
total of 795 vessels, and that 165 vessels were
under construction. In face of the decision of
other countries that big ships were not effective,
owing to the menace of airplanes and submarines,
keep on building the big ones 1t is stated
by British experts that each battleship of the
large type costs from $3O,OOO,O00 to 900
with auxiaries costing equal amount for
each. All this in addition requires larger docks,
more costly naval bases additional harbors, in
creased personnel, and other essentials involving
expenditures running into sums bewderng,
even in these days when we talk in billions
The futility of the big ship was seen during
the recent war when the British navy. with more
ships and bigger than any other in the
world, did not dare to approach the coast OF
Germany. 1t will be recalled that the allied fleet
could not force entry at the Dardanelles, when
the Turks destroyed Englands biggest battle
ship-ths Queen Elizabeth. The battleship. what
ever the cost size, must hide in protected har-
bors unless defended by aircraft, submarines,
mines and other devices employed in modern
naval warfare. Bombs from the air and under
water can send it and crew to the bottom.
Yet we are going on with big ship program.
All the world is in distress, and before any suf-
fering country restore itself for war our
ships will be out of date in the meantime inn

SOCIALISTIC SARCASM

Victor Berger, the Milwaukee Socialist leader,
has had hard time with it to keep out of jail,
keep his paper going, keep Milwaukee safe for the
comrades" and keep the Communists with Rus
sian afintes, from eating up his political party.
But with all that he is some floor scrapper. as the
debates in the Detroit convention show. An in
stance of his ironcal logic given by the Associated
Press, is worthy of notice Two Communists, Eng
dahl and Kruse were seeking to get resolution
adopted endorsing the Russian movement. They
stepped on Berger's toes. In the course of his
reply the Milwaukee leader said:
The communists issued circulars in Milwaukee
last April advising the workers not to vote because
the revolution was coming May !. They were
going to rise in all their grandeur and overthrow
the existing order. And on May it rained. So
they postponed their revolution and set the date for
May s, and on May policeman arrested two
of them for throwing handbills on the street in
violation of a city ordinance and the revolution
never has taken place.
To appreciate the exquisite irony of this, one
has 10 vision the observation-disclosures of the Com
munist reformer when he is talking to other radi-
