GEORGIA NEGROES
DESTITUTE UP NORTH
NEW ENGLAND CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE SAYS THE SIT
UATION is SERIOUS.

BOSTON, Mass.-The large num-
Der of negro laborers and farm hands
who are arriving here from Georgia
in the majority of cases destitute
homeless and friendless, has created
serious problem for the chief indus
trial cities of New England, accord
ing to a statement issued by the New
England chamber of commerce off
Gals today.
Numerous protests have been re-
ceived from chambers of commerce
and boards of trade in New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut and Massachusetts,
False Propaganda.
1t is alleged that considerable false
propaganda has already caused the
migration of nearly $4,000 negroes
from Georgia to the New England
states. Visions of high industrial
wages, which are not available, de-
mand for cheap unskilled labor, which
does not exist, and the alleged attrac-
tive living conditions for the negro, in
New England, are advanced as the
magnet drawing the negroes here.
In some cities the number OF I'M
employed and homeless negroes late
lily arriving from Georgia has already
presented a serious problem. Urgent
requests that some action be taken
have been received by the state de-
partment of labor.

WHEN TAKEN FROM HIDING
PLACE IN OLD OAK.

Three hundred dollars in United
States bank notes, hidden in tree
more than a hundred years ago by
bank messengers pursued by Indians
Has been found on the farm of Perry
DeFord, near Minerva, Ohio. The
bills crumbled to dust when touched.
Hidden Hundred Years.
1t is believed that the bank notes
were hidden in the tree, a giant oak,
more than hundred years ago. At
that time bank messengers fode the
Tuscarawas trail, passing near the
aged tree.
Harry Smith and James McGhee
found the treasure when they chopped
down the tree. They noticed cavity
and in it the notes. Not realizing how
fragile was their find they plunged
their hands into the cache, and the
notes crumbled in their fingers.
Only few small pieces were saved
and from these officials of historical
society drew the probable tale of their
origin.
All told the bills were worth APP
proximately $4,000, it was said. Each
bill, although for only ten dollars,
would be worth $1,000 to coin col

Mr.. A. H. Miller, of Dawson, who
is patient in the U. S. Veterans
Hospital at Gulfport, Miss, saw the
carcass of the 65-ton whale which
was recently found floating in the
water near that place, and writes The
News an interesting letter about the
monster.
1t will be remembered that dis
pute arose as to the ownership of the
fish and, legal proceedings being in
stituted, the u. S. marshal for that
district was instructed to bling the
carcass into court, which he had not
done at last account.
Mr.. Miller's letter, which gives
some interesting facts about the whale,
follows:
Editor Dawson News: | saw the
account in your paper of the large
whale that was towed in the waters
at Biloxi, Miss. AS l was an eye-wit-
ness to thsi great sight, am pleased
to write a few lines in regard to it.
No disposition has been made of the
hulk yet, and as it is getting in very
bad condition it is very doubtful now
if anything of value can be realized
from it in the way of fertilizer and
oil. Herewith is a description of the
spectacle: A party of patients from
the u. S. Veterans Hospital No. "a,
Gulfport, Miss, went to Biloxi on
April 10th to view a large whale an
chored out AZ miles, near Deer Is
land. Arriving at Biloxi by street car

NEGRO LYNCHED BY
BOLD MISSOURI MOB
CHARGED WITH ATTACK UP
ON IA YEAR OLD GIRL. WAS
IDENTIFIED BY VICTIM.

COLUMBIA, Mo.-James Scott, a
negro accused of attacking 14-year-
old girl, was hanged to a railroad
bridge here early today by mob es-
timated to number 1000.
Just before the hanging her father,
head of a department of the Univer-
sity of Missouri here, appeared dra-
matica11y on the scene and appealed
to the mob to let the law take its
course.
81 have as much against this man
as you have" he is quoted as saying.
But we, as citizens of the United
States, should abide by the laws OF
the country"
Father of Girl Protested.
The mob ignored the pleas of the
girls father and, despite protests of
innocence from their victim took the
negro to the bridge not far from the
place where the attack was made up
on the girl. :.
You're hanging an innocent man,
the negro pleaded. That's the truth.
l can't die with lie upon my lips. -
After rope was tied about his
neck he was pushed off the bridge.
The coroner said later the Negroes
neck was broken and that he appar-
emily died instantly.
The mob gained entrance to the
cell occupied by the negro by burn
ing the iron door with an acetylene
torch. No attempt was made to take
the keys from the sheriff.

NEGRO BABIES ARE
SACRIFICED TO VOODOO
DISCOVERED IN POND IN A

Voodooism, practiced by co1ored

responsible for the bodies of two col

more being found in sack in a near
by pond State and county officials are
investigating alleged voodoo rites
among the colored population, rites
which involved the sacrifice of babies.
Thorough Probe Promised.

thing like this" said Judge Holland

ings could have been going on and

the whites learning of it, We intend
to sift this matter to the very bot

The bodies were found by three
small boys who, they said, watched a
negro man dump the bag into the
pond. They thought he was drowning
some puppies or kittens, and after he
rode away on his bicycle they hshed
up the bag. When they discovered
what was inside they reported their
grewsome find to police and the in
vestigation followed.

Bag1ey, who, with two other men,
found it afoat in the Brenton island
sound. which is about one hundred
miles from here. After struggling
with rough water for 100 hours they
finally lowed it here for exhibition
purposes. They have made some mon
ey here, for they charge so cents to
go out and so cents to see it after
reaching the island. Describing it to
us Mr.. Bagley pointed out the spout
which blows the water. high into the
air. 1t had an oil we'll in the head
shaped like pocket, which holds 200
barrels of whale oil. This oil is very
valuable. 1t has forty-two tusks in
the lower jaw that weigh two pounds
each. Mr.. Bagley also claimed that
there was a pocket in the stomach
where a perfume is extracted that is
valued at 500 per ounce. They have
given up hope, however, of saving any
of this, as the whale is decaying rap
idly and washing to pieces fast, and
they can do nothing else with it until
ownership is awarded. At first they
expected to realize about $4,000 from
it. but now Mr.. Bagley can do moth
ing but sell the body for fertilizer and
mount the skeleton for a museum.
The cause of its death was not deter
mined, but the men who lowed it in
think that it was probably harpooned
far out at sea.
