THEY BROUGHT IT.
ON THEMSELVES

p The Miami Herald gives the follow
ing account of the trouble with half a
dozen northern negroes in its city the
other night:
can attempt by the six negroes en-
ployed by the Halcyon hotel as mu-
sicians to force an entrance to the
dance floor of Elser Pier and dance
with white women there Saturday
night, is the reason assigned by the
police for an attack on the negroes
by white men Tuesday night north of
the city limits. The police said yes
terday they received complaints to the
effect that the negroes went to Elser
Pier and insisted on being allowed to
dance and that, after being forced to
leave the pier, they walked along
Flagler street arm-in-arm and ogled
white girls they met on the street. Be
cause of these actions the police be-
heve, they were lured out of the city
and given a f1ogging. The negroes
went to the police station at $3.50 yes
terday morning and asked for protec,
tion until they could get out of town
They had no money to pay their rail
way fare, they told Sergeant Warner,
and asked him to furnish an escort
until they could go to the negro set
tlement and borrow money. D. A
Dorsey, a local negro business man
advanced a sum sufficient to enable
them to leave Miami in an automobile
Two motorcycle policemen accom-
panied them to the city limits at
Buena Vista. 1t was presumed by the
police that the negroes would go tc
Palm Beach and take train for the
north or try to find an engagement ir

THE NEXT PONTIFF

Rome, Jan. 27.-(By the Associated
Press).-With the body of the late
pope laid away, interest of the sacred
college and the Vatican household

ment between the church and the
Italian government enters into the
election. A thorough canvass of opin-
ion in the Vatican shows the peace

party, or those advocating closer re-
tually deadlocked with the irreconcil-
ables, or those opposing rapproche-
ment in the number of votes each fac
ton can muster. A two-thirds ma
jority is needed to elect.
