BATTLE OVER
BAR TENDER
Reject Canadian Plan Of
Government Sale of Liqu-
or On Vote.
DRY CANDIDATES
Relentless Opposition to
Wet Officials Shown in
Platform.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 90 up
In perfect accord over major issues
involving politics, the National Wo-
mems Christian Temperance union
today argued over remote mention
of the word bartender" in its ma
tiGnal platform.
After adopting plankS declaring re-
lentleSs opposition to candidates run
ming without "bone dry" intentions,
the delegates to the annual conven-
ton encountered a furry of excite
ment over more to strike out refer
-ence to the traditional quarry OF the
white ribbon" movement,
1t was Mrs. Abbie B. Hillerman, OF
Tulsa, Okla, one of the first foes
of the saloon as fought, by the original
w. G. T. u, who started the skirmish.
She placed the organization on record
as rejecting the Canadian plan of
government sale of liquor as a sub
stitute for prohibition.
To emphasize the undesirabiity of
this plan the committee wrote that
"the old fashioned bartender re-
appeared as civic emplcye" and the
chair, after Mrs. dillerman had
moved to strike out the sentence,
sought to convince the latter that
the plank as written strengthened
the unions stand.
But Mrs. Hillerman stood her
ground. Meanwhile the chair was
having difficulty in confining the
discussion.
"That the bartenders are planning
to re-organize."
Finally Mrs. Mary Harris Armour.
Of Atlanta, past president of the
Georgia w. @. t. U. and known
in convention circles as "the Georgia
Cyclone" was recognized by the chair
and in brief but spectacular speech
paved the Way for an Overwhelming
defeat of the amendment.
"Under the Canadian plan as ap-
piled to this country" she said, "they
would take bartender and put him
in the uniform of the United States
government"

WOMAN KILLED
TWO INJURED BY
DEAD PINE TREE


FLAGSTAFF, Aug. 20 up = One
woman was killed and man and
woman seriously injured Sunday after
noon when a dead pine tree crashed
on the automobile in which they were
sitting at Lake Mary, seven miles
south of here. The victim was Mrs.
j. S. Kennison, 81 of Phoenix.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Westerman, of
Florence, who were in the car with
Mrs Kennison, were rushed to the To-
cal hospital for treatment. They will
recover, physicians said.
A large amount of water in the dead
limbs of the tree was believed to have
caused the crash as only slight breeze
was blowing at the time.
Mrs Kennison's body will be taken
| to Phoenix tomorrow for burial.

FORECO TOUR OF

OF ANARCHISTS
Attorney General States
SaccO, Vanzetti Trial
Was Fair.

BOSTON, Aug. 20 (P9-The ashes of
Nicola Sacco and Bartolemeo Vanzetti
will devidided into two parts, hall OF
each to be carried to Italy for burial
there and the otE1Sr half to be returned
to the ground in a Maiden cemetery,
the Sacco-V -Vanzetti defense committee
announced tonight.
The latest plan for final disposition
of the remains of the two executed
radicals, still hinges on Miss Luigia
Vanzetti's consent, the committee ex-
planned, but it has been definitely de-
cided to forego any national tour OF
the ashes in this country. Miss Van
zetti vetoed the idea, it was said, al
though Mrs. Sacco was reported as
willing to go through with the original
plan of a national tour.
Miss Vanzetti was resting in seclu-
sion to day in Plymouth, near her
brothers former home, where she was
taken yesterday in a state OF utter
collapse following the ordeal of the
funeral procession through Boston and
the cremation, of her brothers body
at Forest Hills cemetery.
BUFFALO, Aug. ~ QF)-PuDlcly DILL
nou1cing his official views on the
Sacco- Vanzetti case for the first time
since taking office, Attorney General
Arthur K. Reading of Massachusetts
today told the National Association OF
Attorney Generals, in convention here
that in his opinion the fairness of the
trial given the two principals was be-
yond question.
''The cases should, however" he de-
clared, "bring home to the authorities
of the several states, the seriousness OF
some of our legal problems The ad-
ministration Of our criminal law should
not only be just; it should be prompt

BRUNSWICK, Ca, Aug. 90 N9-The
federal government and South Ameri-
can countries today were asked to be-
gin a search along 4,600-mile course
for Paul Redfern, missing Brunswick
to-Brazil flier.
With no definite news concerning
his fate since Redfern took off in his
m o plane "Port of Brunswick
Thursday noon, and only two reports
of airplanes along his proposed route,
Paul j. Warner, chairman of the flight
committee, requested assistance.
Mr.. Warner asked the navy depart
ment and coast guard officials to cover
the section between Brunswick and
Trinidad, and asked the state depart-
mert- to enlist the aid of the South
American governments in the hunt
from Trinidad south
The report today from Caracas,
Venezuela, that an airplane has been
seen over the delta of the Orinoco
river brought renewed hopes to his
wife and friends here. 1t was their
first news, inconclusiVe as they recog-
nized it to be since a vessel reported
sighting Redfern few hundred miles
on his course the afternoon of his
departure.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Aug. 20
R-At 4 o'clock this afternoon the
whereabouts of Paul Redfern, intrepid
Georgia flyer, still were matter of
anxious, yet hopeful conjecture.
The national telegraphS continue to
canvass all points, land telegraphS and
wireless stations, along the coast and
in the interior, but no word has come
from the missing aviator.
The hope entertained for the safety
of Redfern by some of the Brazilian
air experts is based upon the fact that
if he landed on Brazilian soil he stands
a good chance to reach civilization and
safety as previously. has been demon
strated by the two Argentines, Duggan
and Olivero, the Portuguese Sarmento
Beires and the American Walter Him
ton, all of whom were forced to de-
Scend in the Brazilian wilderness and
reached safety after several days of
silence.
The anxiety manifested in other
quarters is due to the fact that Red
fern never was sighted on Brazilian
territory while the reports of his being
sighted by ship near the Bahamas
and by native near the Orinoco delta
so far have not been confirmed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 90 stE)-Lack
of warships in the vicinity of the route
Paul Redfern intended to follow on his
Brunswick Brazil flight makes il
impossible for the navy to assist in
searching for the lost aviator, Assist

naval aviation, late today advised
friends and hackers of the missing
youth.

Hon. S. w. Green, Who Stands at the
Head of the Great Knight of Pythias
Organization. And He Has Had a
Remarkable Career From His Boy
hood Days to the Present

He is obviously one of the safest lead
ers the race has produced, and it is
fortunate that thinking men in the
ranks Of the order have long since
agreed that he is equal to every re-
sponsibility and every duty the fra
ternity imposes upon him.
Mr. Green's home and headquarters
are located at New Orleans. La. In
this great city he is highly respected
and honored by all classes; he is held
in high regard by the bankers and
business men OF his community - the
real test of the character and stand
ing OF the individual 1t was through
his influence that the bankers of New
Orleans advanced the K Of P. $4,000
to finish and equip the great 100000
Pythian Temple which was erected
in that metropolis a few years ago.
These influential business men as
sured him that as long as he was at
the head OF the order in New Orleans
they would protect the financial inter
ests Of the organization - paying him
the compliment OF their fullest conf
dence in his business ability, fidelity,
acumen and sagacity.
AT the last meeting Of the Supreme
Lodge at St. Louis, Mo, it was clearly
demonstrated that the order has made
wonderful progress under the guidance
OF Chancellor Green. The sessions
were the most successful it has held
in its history and the entire convention
was conducted under the most favor
able nditions-harmony and concord
characterized every days session.
At the election of officers there was
practically no opposition to the slate
and the old officers were reelected.
This was also true Of the women's de-
partment, the Courts Of Calanthe, and
likewise the Uniform Rank. The en-
tire regime OF the present officers has
been marked BY the most singular
prosperity and no little degree OF
credit Is due the presiding genius OF
the order for keeping and maintaining
this splendid condition.
Chancellor Green first joined the
Knights Of Pythias in 1888, when III
the month of July of that year, as
charter member, he helped to form
Tensas Lodge No. q. He is the pride
Of Louisiana, the state in which ne
was born. He has served as grand
chancellor in the state from 1892 to
the present time, declining the office
for two wears. 1S97-9S; but being re-
elected in 1899, he has been continued
in that Office ever since.
He succeeded S. w. Starks in l9OS
as supreme chancellor and was elected

Hon. Geo. T. Kersey has become
power in the civic and political al
fairs Of Illinois.
Only few months ago he saved the
life Of Louis Washington after Sheriff
Graydon and 5 million people in Cook
County behind him had utterly failed
to change the mind Of Governor Small
relative to his death.
1t will be recalled that several
months ago Louis Washington. a
Colored man had been convicted in
the criminal court of Cook County for
committing murder and he was await
ing for the death sentence to be car
ried out in the Cook County jail.
Many liberal minded people in this
city, after they had famliarized them
selves through the columns OF the
newspapers pertaining to the inside
life Of him had become greatly i'll
terested in him. For they learned
that he had no relatives nor friends
or money, no one interested in him
to the extent Of extending a helping
hand AT that point many people by
letter and in person appealed to Gov
ernor Small, emploring him to change
the death sentence OF Louis Washing
ton To imprisonment for life. Sheriff
Graydon OF this county joined in with
those who cndeavored to save his lie
The sheriff OF this county also
journcycd 10 Springfield in his be-
hall and after an interview with Gov
ernor Small he evaded giving him
direct answer. As to his intentions
in the matter at that time Sheriff
Graydon was forced to return home
without accomplishing much.
In the course Of a day or two Gov
ernor Small sent him a telegram stat
ing that the Louis Washington case
was closed, that he would hear no
further argument in the case, that he
must hang according to law. Then
Sheriff Graydon, with Governor
SmallS telegram in his pocket and
with 5 million people Of Cook County
behind him, rushed to see Mr. Kersey
and urged him to endeavor 10 save
the life Of Louis Washington. And
Mr.. Kersey without stopping with
Sheriff Graydon's telegram in his
pocket boarded fast train for Spring

BY Charles Alexander

A short while ago, under the leader
ship Of Supreme Chancellor Hon. S.
W. Green, celebration was held in
New Orleans. The beautiful Knights
Of Pythias Temple was paid out Of
debt and the significant fact brought
the two races in New Orleans much
closer together-for this temple cost a
great deal Of money-in all $200,000;
and money, you know, has the magic
charm OF bringing to pass goodwill
and friendliness where other things
fail The prompt discharge of hnan-
cial obligations promotes a certain
kind of confidence that is enduring.
Moreover, the success of this enter
prise in New Orleans was due from
the start to the cordial cooperation
Of the bankers Of that city This CO.
operation was the result of the faith
which these bankers have in the in
tegrity OF the leader of the movement.
His business ability is we'll known
his faithfulness and prudence have
been well tested in the estimation Of
the best commercial circles-he is re-
garded as a substantial citizen.
Mr.. Green is one OF the outstanding,
dominating personalities among the
Negroes in the United States. He is
the supreme chancellor Of the Knights
Of Pythias of North America, South
America, Europe, Asia, Africa and
Australia. His manly attitude on all
questions, his plain speech, his honest
methods. his unassuming manners,
has conspired to make him a great
power among the Knights OF Pythias.
