CONCESSION TO

For several minutes after the
announcement was read, the
$500 colored visitors and dele

Then pandemonium broke loose.
Delegates from Negro communities of

CHARLES GATES DAWES, republican candidate for

"A thousand members of the Ku Kux KIan without

the sheriff Of Williamson County to protest against the

"Al the newspapers have been trying to get Mr.

said Mr. Kilkenny "Mr. Dawes has refused to make any

The silence of Mr.. Dawes is proof that he feels the
guilt for the splitting of blood in Williamson County.

KLAN ASKS SMALL TO GUST SHERIFF

BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

THERE is town in the United
l States called Boulder. To get
nearer to our quarry, it is located in
the State of Colorado. 1t might
escape our attention and live happily
ever afterward but for the fact that
the stormy pethrel, Ella Revive Bloor,
took it into her gray head to pay the
place a visit with a view to planting
some ideas there. 1t happens that
Sheriff Robert Blum can see beyond
the stormy petrol, Ella Reeve Bloor,

Kerr and Oscar Runion, letter from
Ella Reeve Bloor saying that she was
coming to town to hold meeting,
the Sheriff hit the ceiling.
/ create some sympathy for the
workers cause and mentioned Soviet
Russia. The sheriff's donkey was
given the job of translating the letter
into Russian, and it popped out that
in Russian the word sympathy"
means inferno" which is highbrow
term only used by such ancients as
Dante. In the vernacular it means
hell" In other words by a process
of reasoning that any moron should
be proud of, the sheriff came to the
conclusion that Comrade Bloor was
coming to town to raise hell"
THE local sheet in which this i'm
! portant news appeared under
three rows of headlines justified its
existence by adding editorial comment
to the verbal slops dished out by the
sheriff What good is an editor un-
less ne can be just as foolish as the
thug who does the strong-arm work
for his masters The editor learned
that the notorious William 2. Foster,

a lot of his literature into the place.
The editor has suspicion that Sher-
if Blum has something UP his sleeve

that he has nothing in his head, at

A world campaign to observe the
path of the moon in the sky Is be-
ing carried on by astronomers all
over the globe in connection with
the total eclipse of the sun on Janu-
ary "a next. Prof. Ernest w. Brown
of Yale University, speaking for the
American Astronomical Society, saws
this campaign has been Joined by
England, France, Germany, Russia,
Australia, South Africa and other
countries.
The society is charged with the
duty of finding out how much the
moon deviates from the narrow path
laid down by the law of grgavitation
during the month before and the
month after the eclipse. If the moon
moves away ever SO little from It's
predicted path, the astronomer be-
lieves that there is some cause for
the deviations. He hopes to be able
to find out the cause by measuring
the deviations from day to day.
The measures are going to be made
in different ways. The Washington,
Greenwich and Cape Colony observa-
tories will observe the moments when
the moon Is exactly South. Harvard

FOR NEW UTILITIES

NEW YORK, December 26.--Expend-
itures of approximately SAL, 500, 600
will be made by the North American
Company for expansion of it's public
utility properties throughout the
United States during 1925, f. l.
Dame, president, announced yester-
day.
Plans for the northern Ohio dis
trict, surrounding Cleveland, call for
the expenditure of approximately
$50. 100000 next year. In the Illinois
Missouri territory, centering in ST.
Louis, the expenditures for additions
and extensions will aggregate ap-
proximately S11.00o,000 and for con-
struction plans in Wisconsin and
Michigan expenditures of about s10,-
900, 600 will be made. Electric and
coal properties in Kentucky will be
improved at a cost of approximately
$500, 900.
Provision already has been made by
the company for these expenditures.
Approximately 100000 will be OBJ
tained through the stock dividend
policy of the company, and the bal
ance will be, or already has been, OBJ
tained through. the sale Of bonds and
preferred stocks of the subsidiaries
In the last two months subsidiaries
of the corporation have sold to in
vestors SIS, 100000 in per cent bonds,
which represents nearly one-half of
the 1925 construction cost.
Plan New Station.
In outlining the 1925 projects, Mr..
Dame said that the largest single ex-
pansion would be the new 100000
horsepower station at Avon, Ohio,
near Cleveland, which is designed to
n
land plant. A new station for sup
plying steam heat also will be con-
structed in Cleveland and further ex-
tensions will be made to the COM
pany,s distribution lines.
Officials of the North American Co.
expressed the opinion that, using the
electric output of their company as
a barometer, the business depression
of 1924 ended early in September.
From that point on the volume of
output has climbed steadily week y

LONDON, December 26.-Satling
over the seas in the wake of Drake
and in a schooner hardly larger than
the one commanded by that sea rover
is the feat to be attempted by a
group of adventurous twentieth GEN.
tury Englishmen.
An expedition of Il men, under the
command of Capt. Norman Wilkin
of the Royal Naval Reserve, will sail
in the three -masted frigate Marian
on New Year day from Appledore,
the Devonshire port where Drake
weighed anchor many years ago.
Capt. Wilkin will follow minutely
the route of his illustrious country
man around the dangerous Straits of
Magellan and up the Pacific Coast.
He and his comrades seek to prove
that adventure is not entirely con-
fined to the screen and the stage.
Many Sought Adventure.
Hundreds of applications were re-
ceived by Capt. Wilkin for places on
the Marian, and he spent several
weeks in choosing the best IA
mariners from the many desiring to
go. With a few exceptions the crew
