MAN AWAKES IN MORNING TO
FIND BULLET LODGED IN
HIS PILLOW

Washington-(CNS). - Awakening
on the morning of the 26 Of July,
Francis Wilkos of the 1900 block Of
Eleventh street, northwest, was fair
ly amazed to find that during the
night someone had taken a pot shot
at him through his bed room window
while he slept.
Wilkes found the bullet lodged in his
pillow and upon examination found
that it had been fred through his bed
room window. Wilkes told police that
he could not account for the shot as
he has no enemies and no one that he
knows would have a motive for wish
ing to harm him. He had not been
awakened by the sound Of the shot.

Belle Glade according to the last
census had in April 1880, SGT Ne
groes in a total population of 1,O43;
and South Bay 401 Negro persons in
a total Of 754. This county boasts on
its east cast Of Palm Beach and West
Palm Beach the noted winter resorts,
and during normal times gives
employment throughout the county to
6,439 male Negro gainful workers
and 1852 females. These places have
not operated during the past two sea-
sons and the unemployment situation
there has become acute. Approx
mately 5000 Of the males are engaged
IN agricultural pursuits, while a
similar number of females are en-
gagged in domestic and personal SER
vice, but have not been employed to
any extent since the real estate boom
collapsed.
1t is reported that while needy
families Of the Negro population have
been compelled to work for the flour.
which according to the Congressional
resolution appropriating it, was to be
distributed free of cost. white families
are given the flour without being re-
quired to work.

Clannie Lee May Go to Gilkerson
Giants

Clannie Lee, one of Omaha's best
Colored out fielders may play with the
Gilkerson Union Giants next season.
Lee has played one inning with the
GIANTS IN Grand Island. After this
inning Lee was removed from the
game to make room for Brown who
had been chased from the pitchers
box.
Personally I think Lee deserves a
break with n Of the professional
teams, as he plays well, is fast and
has good judgment. With the proper
training and coaching facilities Lee
may develop into n of the greatest
out ielders Of the day.
Mr.. Gilkerson seems pleased with
Lee but has made no decision as vet.

At one inspection on board his
ship, the admiral ordered every
sailor TO lift his "jpmpers" leg SO
that he might survey the socks.
Burrage was retired al Norfolk
on June IA, 1881. Although he was
born and made his home at Lowell,
Mass, he decided to remain near
the Norfolk base-perhaps because
the thought Of leaving the navy
was bitter.
While in command at Norfolk,
the admiral often would stand
upon a street corner and enforce
the navy yard speed limit. With
.lis "seaman's eye" he would esti-
mate the speed at which a younger
officer was travelling in his car
and then sent that officer a letter
informing him that he had broken
the limit"
The admiral is a noted authority
on seamanship and has written sey-
cral books about it.
