Race in Ridicule

NEWPORT NEWS, June 80.
Petitions are being circulated
among negro residents of New

Similar petitions are being
circulated among members of
the race in other cities as a
part of a concerted movement

CLEAN POLITICS
IS TFRMF.O
REMEDY
N. Y. District Attorney and
Chicago Crime Suppression
Leader Ask End of System

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, June
80 ONS).-Clean politics and
an organized public opinion
backed by adequate police facili
ties were held here today as RENE
dies for the racket" typically
American institution of crime
and coercion.
George z. Medalie, southern
New York's district attorney and
Robert Isham Randolph, Chicago
crime suppression leader, pre-
sented comprehensive Studies of
"racketeering" before round
table discussion of the subject
featuring the days session of the
institute Of public affairs, at the
University Of Virginia.
Monster Of Commerce
They pictured "racketeer-
eering' as . monster Of COM
merce, holding sway over the
small and fearful merchant in
every quarter Of the land, and
rs an octopus reaching tena-
cles into every mans purse.
Both pleaded for a house
cleaning in politics and business
methods as the important step
towards dissolution of the
racket" They defined the evil
as the result of the preying of
greed and avarice upon fear and
Self-interest, an outgrowth of
cutthroat competition and the
submission Of otherwise law
abiding industry to coercion and
lawleSSneSS.
Denies Dry Law Blame
Medalie was more optimistic,
that "racketeering" would be
stamped out by an aroused pub
lie opinion, although Randolph
conceded that progress had been
made.
The New Yorker, too, took
occasion to absolve prohibition
from blame, denying it was the
source Of the racket"
Randolph said racketeering cost
Chicago as much as its annual
budget, roughly $165, 200, 900
yearly.
Medalie said the end of rack
,eteering will come gradually and
as a result, not of any one
panacea, but because an aroused
populace will entrench itself in
law and order and take drastic,
although slow, methods of stamp
ing it out.

Vacations Abroad
Under CurtGiLnaent

More Americans are spending
their vacations this year in the
United States and Canada, rather
than overseas.
This is the conclusion drawn
by the American Automobile AS
Sociation yesterday from passport
and car shipment figures.
Whereas the number of pass
ports issued in the first five
months of 1881 fell 25 per cent
below the 1880 level, the number
of cars shipped for touring in
various parts Of the United States
and in Canada, is virtually un-
changed, it was stated.

DEATH |s FO|LED IN CLUTCH BY WORKER
 IN JUNEAU MINES

Death clutched in vain for a vic- tim in the underground workings Iof the Alaska Juneau mine recent ly. Charles Napes, bulldozer, plung- cd down chute and with twisted spine, broken jaw and body bruised and lacerated all over, lay helpless at the bottom, dimly conscious of his plight. He was found by Lee Johnson, fellow miner, who shoul- dered the limp and suffering bur- den and carried it 200 feet up a ladder, reports the Juneau Empire.
 Step by step, as Johnson slowly made the difficult ascent, Napes, in voice scarcely audible, poured forth broken, disconnected words of gratitude.
 On reaching the surface the in jured man was hastened to St. Ann's hospital.
 He has a chance to live" said Dr. L. F. Dawes, attending physi- elan.
 When Johnson joined his shift to go below this morning stalwart comrades gathered round to shake his hand and slap his back in token of their admiration.
