ing at the entrance to the COM
pound OF the camp to do honor to
Colonel Roosevelt. When he ap-
peared in sight, headed by the
American flag, a man beating a
drum. and a small escort Of the
Uganda police, they all raised their
hands above their heads in saluta-
ton and then olapped hands vigor-
ously-which latter is their usual
form of salutation to a distinguished
stranger.
The native tom-toms beat a vigor-
Gus tattoo until such time as Colonel
Roosevelt had actually taken his
seat under the shady banda; then
the drums ceased. and the ceremony
had concluded. Inside of the mess
room, these natives had spread a
white ciothS under the grass thatch.
and this made it very cool. AS in all
other camps. we found everything
spotlessly clean.
The next night in camp we cele-
brated the dawn OF a new year. We
had marched at dawn, as usual, and
had halted at midday at Yaile-nin-
ty-seven miles from Kanlpala.
Only one more camp now inter-

the great pain after Mearns had op-
Grated upon me.
The Banyoro people are among the
most curious races in the whole of
equatorial Africa. They are general
ly spoken Of as the Cow people, 4"
for they are powerful clansmen
whose wealth and religion and
health is all intimately connected
with the peaceful domestic cow.
They have many strange customs
and beliefs. 1t is Considerable de-
graduation for Banyoro men tcVdig or
till the soil, so milk and meat are
their most staple forms of diet.
A few days after we had entered
the Unyoro country, we noticed a
number of shrines in every direction
Our inquiries elected the information
they were ghost shrines. When sick
ness comes to the Banyoro people,
they say that it is one of their enc
mies-the ghosts of their ancestors
who is attacking them, so they
proceed to capture the evil spirit
Ghosts, they believe, like hot
cooked meat Therefore, meat is
cooked in a large cooking pot near
the dwelling hut of the sick man or
woman. AS soon as the pleasant
aroma of the meal reaches the dwell
ing, the Banyoro believe that the
evil spirit enters the cooking pot to
enjoy the feast. AS soon as the food
is cooked and ready, they seal 1t up.
The potted ghost is then taken away
from the village and buried in the
ground, the place of interment being
marked by the erection of ghost
shrine.
Another quaint belief Of the Ban
yoro is that once a man has been en-
! throned as king OF that country his

CHAPTER V

m HE Boston police strike is re-
garded, and not incorrectly,
as the critical point in the
national career of President Cal
vim Coolidge.
Three men really figured in the
strike These men were the then
police commissioner, Edwin U.
Curtis. the. then mayor, Andrew ].
Peters, and Governor Coolidge.
The commissioner of police of the
city of Boston is an appointee of the
Governor. His term is five years
and he can be removed only by con-
sent of the Governors council and
for good cause.
The mayor, on the other hand
while holding no jurisdiction over
the police commissioner, except in
ease of tumUlt. riot or mob" must
see to 1t that the city furnishes ac-
commOdatjOns and pay to the police.
Police Unionize
Some few years before September,
1919, when the strike broke, an at
tempt had been made by the police
to unionize and affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor
This move had been put down effec-
lively. But now it was rearing it's
head again. Plans for organization
and utilization had been carefully
laid and before the surprised city
knew it the police had unionized.
The commissioner of police
promptly called nineteen leaders on
the carpet" and preferred charges
against them. BY this time public
interest was being aroused and ex-
element ran RICH. Mayor Peters
appointed a committee to try TO
reach some agreement that would
prevent trouble and this committee
reported q settlement could best be
reached b. recognizing a local union
not connected in any way with the
American Federation Of Labor.
Also, the nineteen leaders were, TO
be reinstat /.
The mayor Endorsed this finding.
but the commissioner couldn't ex-
actly see it that way. He suspend
ed the nineteen policemen. The
mayor wrote 10 Coolidge urging him
to accept the report of the commit
tee, but Coolidge adopted a hands
off policy. His letter to Mayor
Peters was especially significant.
1T seems to me- he wrote, that
there has arisen a confusion which
would be cleared up if each person
undertakes to perform the duties
imposed upon him by law.
There is no authority in the Of
flee of Governor for interference in
the making Of orders by the police
commissioner or in the action of the
mayor and the city. I am unable %
discover any action that can take. -
Strike Begins
The strike came. Toward eve
ming on Tuesday. Sept 8, 1919, LII
> patrolmen out Of ,544 walked out.
The evening passed without disor-
der. But the next day the lawleSs
element Of the city awoke. Street
cars were stoned. Shop windows
broken open. Dice games held
openly on the streets and crimes Of
violence recorded.
The DAY following the mayor Is

immediate request to Governor Cool
idge,, asking for ''at least" three
companies of State militia, to repor t
in the city not later than p. m.
Instead Of sending three compa-
MES, however, Coolidge personally
took charge of the situation, issu-
ing a proclamation announcing he
had called out the entire State mil
itia
Just before the Governor issued
his proclamation he was visited by
delegation Of union officials, who
urged him in no uncertain lam
guage to reinstate the striking pa.
trolmen and to settle the difficulty
so as not to bring harm to the
strikers. But Coolidge merely stood
silently until the delegation filed out
Of his office.
The charge made by his enemies
is that he didn't move until he had
ample time TO see which way public
sentiment was going. That he sat
on the fence until he saw that his
move would gain popular support.
Coolidge never talks of the Boston
strike. But in that he is merely be-
ing characteristic Of himself.
Coolidge Replies
Coolidge had a bitter exchange of
kilograms with Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, following re-establish-
ment of normal conditions.
Gompers asked Coolidge that ac-
ton on the lily striking policemen
be held up until after President VIII
sons conference on Oct. 6. But
Coolidge replied that it was not with
in the authority of the Governor to
handle the question concerning the
patrolmen, but was entirely up to
the commissioner Of police Of Bos-
ton.
Gompers replied and Coolidge
came back with his famous answer
that there is no right to strike
against the public safety by any
body, anywhere, any time"
He added he did not appoint the
commissioner and had nointention
of removing him.
