Therefore they went back into their

continued because the need for them

work on these. One of these is a

alliance is made between Japan and
England against all other interests
which may prevent them from main
tanning and extending their control in
China, even by armed Intervention.
British Control Jap Foreign ONCE.
This is proven likely, by the obvious
manner in which Britain is acting with
Japan. From Toxic comes the word
that the British ambassador to japan
spends his time constantly at the jap
anese foreign office, and the utmost co
operation is manifested in all dealings
and statements.
The alliance is supposed to include
an agreement that England will aid
Japan in maintaining and extending
her control in the north, in Manchuria
and Chilli, if Japan will reciprocate for
the British interests in the south.
The Japanese foreign office openly
states its approval of the actions of
the British in China and states quite
frankly that Japan is cooperating.
Cantonese Prepare to Act.
HONG KONG, China, July Ire
ports from Canton say that the Can
ton Chinese government is preparing
to drive the foreign imperialists from
off the fortified island of Shameen,
since the foreign settlement there has
refused to make amends for the attack
on Chinese paraders by British and
French marines recently, in which
scores of Chinese were killed and
many more wounded.
Canton is placarded with posters
showing the women and children of
their loved ones shot down by the
British marines. Reports state that
barricades are being erected opposite
Shameen and aviators are preparing
to accompany the attempt of land
troops to GUST the hated imperialists.
The imperialists have many gun
boats at Shameen, which is now little
but an outpost, fortified and armed,
in land resentful of foreign in
vaders and exploiters.

Atlanta, Ga, May 23.--According to
statements made public here this week
scores of death claims held by benef-
ciaries Of former members of the Odd
Fellows District Grand Lodge of which
Benjamin ], Davis, editor of the Allan
ia Independent, is grand secretary, are
unpaid aud attempts to collect them are
being referred to a receiver recently ap-
pointed by local court which is said to
have taken complete charge of all af-
fairs of the order.
The Davis faction of the order, known
as the Georgia Corporation" has-been
fought by the national order through

1t is reported that the Odd Fellows
Building on Auburn avenue, erected

allegation is that the defunct Standard
Life Insurance Co. first held these mort
cages and thus gained control of the
building, and that with the-passing into
white control of the insurance company
the building has gone the same way,
Another report is that the claims held
by benefciaries, which are unpaid, ag-
gregate considerably more than the ac-
tual assets of the Davis Grand Lodge,
and that the receiver is telling all who
apply to him for information that he
can do nothing at the present time, and
that they will have to wait until funds

uryAcquits Rev.
Joseph w. Harris
On Fight Charge

Pilot and Herod had not been on
good terms prior to the arrest of
Jesus. But the fact that they made
friends on the same day that the trial
began proved the old maxim that
Birds of a feather flock together"
All these things were demonstrated
In the conduct of the two families
living to the right and left of the
house occupied by Rev. Harris. Peo-
pie who had not been on speaking
terms were seen getting together on
the day OF the trial, which began last
Friday morning and ended Tuesday.
The st. Paul city car driven by Mr.,
McCauley was freely used In convey
ing their newly made friends to the
trial. There they offered testimony
that would have convicted the presi-
dent of the United States had he
been black man in southern court.
But, as stated by the city attorney,
they wanted white jury for the
trial and they got one, but Attorney
Smith saw to it that they did not get
the "red neck" variety, but an intel
ligent white jury, which possessed
the wisdom of Solomon that enabled
them to read between the lines,
They discredited the statements of
of the witness offered by the prosecu-
tion, which had evidently trained
them, and noticeably overtrained
some of them, this being brought out
by the attorney for Rev. Harris on
cross examination.
Attorney o. J. Smith of st. Paul
represented Rev. Harris, and made
a splendid and most eloquent plea to
the jury not to be swayed by race
prejudice, which had most assuredly
crept into the case. Judge Conrad
Olson instructed the jury to weigh
the intelligence and credibility of the
witnesses testifying on either side,
and although this was one of the most
bitter cases tried in the municipal
court for years, it was clear that
Judge Olson was not the least preju-
diced, and he evidenced this fact dur
ing the trial.
