Florida Lumber Co.
Pays Big Damages

Langdon, N. Dak.-The parents of
Martin Tabert, the boy who was
whipped to death last year in Flor
ida convict camp, has received $780,
900 from the Putnam lumber COM
pany.
The Tabert family started suit
against the company, and the money
is intended to end these proceedings.
This action will not effect the trial of
Walter Higginbotham who lashed
young Tabert in the Florida prison
camp, where he died in delirium on
Feb. last year.
At the trial it was proven that
county officials worked together in
securing unfortunates for these con-
vict camps. Higginbotham, the whip
ping boss, was convicted on the
charge of second degree murder and
his case is now Before the Florida
state supreme court on appeal.
North Dakota officials went to
Florida and assisted in the prosecu-
tion. The exposures developed a
strong public opinion and. the Florida
legislature abolished the convict leas-
ing system.

Aliens Are SWindIed
By Real Estate Sharks

New York.-In the last few years
foreigners have been swindled out Of
$12,O00,0O0 by a gang of real estate
sharks who sold undeveloped marsh
lands within a 50-mile radius of this
city, according to testimony before
the state legislative committee that is
investigating immigrant exploitation.
The sharks would supply free tick
cts for a Sunday inspection trip to a
tract of land. Each guest would draw
lot, but was charged $49.50 to cover
legal fees for transfer of property.
The figure of $4950 was set to keep
within the petty larceny limit of $50.
The victims are without legal pro-
lection because the state bureau of
immigration, established in 1910 by
the Hughes committee, was abolished
by the legislature in 1911.

To Flood Canada
With Cheap Labor
(By Federated Press)

Vancouver, B. C.-The letting down
of Canada's immigration bars is not
actuated by any spirit of liberalism,
but is for the purpose of enabling the
Canadian Pacific railway and the Ca
madam National railway to flood
western Canada with cheap labor to
build the necessary trackage to haul
prarie wheat to the Pacific coast. This
is the statement of a person closely
connected with the immigration
schemes now being fostered by the
Dominion government throughout
Europe.
Another factor is the high cost of
mining copper in the United States
which is causing many mining COM
panies to develop the mines in the
Canadian northwest, and this is in
ducing the extension of railways to
connect the mining regions with the
railway trunk lines.
Sir William Window, who planned
the immigration schemes Of New Zea-
land and acted as advisor to the South
Austrian governments indentured
boy labor scheme, has been engaged
to promote the new Canadian cheap
labor influx. The first batch of i'm
migrants is expected to arrive next
mnOth.

SPRING LAMB PROSPECTS.

Richmond, Va, April 19.-The
movement of spring lambs to marke.
throughout the country will not be as
heavy as was estimated earlier in the
season owing to effects of the drought
in California and to unfavorable weatl.
er in other producing sections OF the
East according to recent reports of the
U s. Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les to the Virginia Crop Reporting
Service.
Based on conditions prevailing on
April 1st the number of California
spring lambs. both live and dressed for
Eastern shipment is estimated around
10000 head compared with $50, 900
head estimated on March 1st, before
tire drought condition became serious
and with 265.000 heads shipped last
year. However, conditions have i'm
proved since the rains of the past two
weeks and if this improvement contin
ues for another month. the number
for Eastern shipment may equal the
number shipped last year.
In Idaho. conditions have been fav-
orable for lambs and it is estimated
that the number of early lambs for
market will be around 20 per cent larg
er than last year.
Conditions in Texas this spring
have been excellent, however. the lamb
crop is later than usual, and as there
is tendency to hold sheep for wool
production the movement Of lambs
and sheep to market will he less than
usual.
The growth Of spring lambs in Ten
nessee and Kentucky has been retard
cd to some extent By unfavorabIe
veather so the market movement in
volume will probably be ten days or
80 weeks later than had been expect
ed. The condition Of lambs and ewes
in Virginia is generally very good, but
the cool weather and occasional hard
freezes have prevented the normal
growth of grass and grain pastures
therefore prospects are not quite as
encouraging as a month ago. General
ly the movement of lambs from Ten
ne5see, Kentucky and Virginia will be
! larger than last year and will start at
about the same time.

We register herewith our protest

can ever justify such violent disregar.
OF law and that in no instance is it an
exhibition of chivalric consideration
and honor of wOmanhood.
We wish to assert our belief tnat
GU Father created every race to contri
butte it's own part toward the upbuild
ing of His Kingdom that the establish
merit of a civilization in which all
peoples may live and grow into his
image.
We recognize the wisdom of confer

all.
is our purpose to lift as we climb
to strengthen as we go and to give.
We intend by personal appeal to
those in authority. to secure for the
Negro race, privileges and conditions
to which they are entitled. as citizens
such as sanitation. lighting and grad
ing OF streets, better housing condi-
ons; also that In the same manner
we help them to obtain additional All
vantages such as Fairgrounds, librar.
les community tenters. etc.
We are coming to realize more ami
more the power of the press to mould
thought; therefore. we shall appeal to
our editors of all our newspapers to
give space to the fine achievements of
the Negro, rather than to stories OF
crime and unworthiness.
We recognize that u definite respon
sibflity rests upon US in making right
sentiment function in our communl
ties.
We further recognize 1t would be In
fin.tely greater to lead the world in in
terracial goodwill than in information
al finances. Therefore. we covet lead
ersbip in bringing about peace and
goodwill among the different races of
men.
The God who hath made OF one
blood. all nations of men is the
acknowledged God of both the white
and Negro American.
With our trust in Him we go for

share in this task which angels might
seek to perform.
