Miss Cowles was pushed, but not
struck, when she refused to leave
the men and enter the hotel.
A crowd of some so men who had
been pasting up posters collected.
AS the street fighters began to argue
among themselves the diplomats
entered the hotel and telephoned
Sir Noel Charles, the British Min
lister. ..
In the interim before his arrival,
the manager Of the hotel, who ep-
peared in pajamas and dressing
gown, asked the crowd to respect
the foreigners and was promptly
knocked down. After q long ha-
rangue with the ringleaders in
which he was pushed but not struck,
Sir Noel realized that his request
that police be summoned was i'm
possible. The police were not on
post in the period when the propa-
ganda sheets were being posted.
Sir Noel hailed two passing mo-
torcycle policemen. When they
heard his difficulty they declined
to intervene and rode away.
Sir Noel, his colleagues and then
crossed the street, surrounded by
the crowd, and telephoned a police
station from another hotel.

But Sir Noel insisted that the posters

MANASSAS. Va, May 1l.-Prince
william County's controversial ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale Of beer
and wine on Sunday was defeated
by the Board Of Supervisors after
heated debate on the proposed
measure.
The first vote taken resulted In
q 3-to-3 tie. Supervisor Wheatley
N. johnson was allowed to reverse
his vote In order to avoid requir-
ing Te-breaker G. A. Sinclair to
vote on an ordinance Of police ma
ture.
The proposed ordinance, . source
Of dispute since its inception last
March, would have prohibited the
sale of beer and wine between mid
night Saturday and 8 am. succeed
ing Mondays.
Before voting the board heard
arguments for and against the
measure. The Rev. r. N. Graham
and Robert A. Hutchison were
among the spokesmen for q dele
cation of some 200 church members
advocating adoption Of the ordi-
nance.
They argued that its enactment
would increase the safety OF the
highways, improve the morals Of
the community and insure quiet
observance Of Sunday.
Frank p. Moncure. former mem
Der Of the House Of Delegates,
presented the case for the opposing
faction, composed largely Of L.
censees in the Dumfries and Occo-
quan districts. He declared the
ordinance would not achieve the
desired results and would only de-
prive q large number Of citizens Of

ROME. May 1l.-Premier Musso-
lini applauded today as the italian
Senate WA told that the dis
turbahce" OF Ita,y's shipping by
Great Britain and France must
change"
The statement was made by Ad-
miral Domenico Cavagnari, under
secretary Of the navy.
His declaration that "only the
possession Of force can modify .
situation which is just contrary to
ones own interest" caused Mussolini
to nod In approval.
Serious disturbance to interna-
tional sea trafic caused by French
British control is felt particularly
by nations bordering on the Medi-
terranean." Admiral Cavagnari said,
"and first Of all by italy. because Of
her geographic, strategic and eco
nomic situation.
This must necessarily change
because It is contrary to natural
rights"
The admiral's reference to the al
lied blockade Of Germany, which has
been tying up Italian imports of
cotton, oil and other raw materials,
was made in q discussion of the navy
budget.
Admiral Cavagnari indicated he
had little faith In figures of naval
losses announced either by the allies
or Germany.
After observing that both sides
boasted Of inflicting huge losses on
the enemy in the Norwegian cam
paign, he expressed the conviction
that after the damaged ships are
repaired there will not be much
change in the ratio of strength be-
tween the two opposing navies."
Expressions of sympathy for the
people of Belgium and the Neither
lands were heard among some ele-
ments of the population. They
speculated on the feelings Of King
Victor Emanuel, whose only son
Crown Prince Umberto, is married
to Belgian princess.
The Fascist party, responsible fol-
recruiting women and children for
war service under the new italian
civil mobilization law, announced to-
day that preliminary organization
already is under way.

yond the mere question of policy
why the free Negro should moi
hold slaves is, that between the
master and slave there must exist
mutual and reciprocal obligations
and duties, the slave owing obedi-
ence and fidelity to his master, and
the master owing TO the slave sup
port and protection. But the Negro
is not such a freeman as to ex-
tend protection; he is nominally
free, almost helpless and dependent
on the winter as the slave him
self; he has few civil rights, being
merely protected in his person and
property by the law, and being in
some cases to give his evidence in
court of justice. He can hold no
office of honor, trust or profit; can
not act as a juror or legislator,
cannot make or execute laws.
He cannot, therefore, in any
sense extend to a slave the pro-
lection due from a master, having
no voice in the making, altering,
enforcing or executing the laws;
and having himself constantly to
resort to the protection of the
whites.
We think, therefore, that neither
usuae, policy, nor the necessary
relations of master~and slave, will
permit free Negroes in this state
to hold slaves.
Humanity revolts at the idea of
a parent selling his own children
into slavery.

SOLD SON INTO SLAVERY;
Delaware 1888: George Long, q
free Negro, legally married to
Phoebe, the mother of Isaac, who
was the slave of a certain Como
way. Isaac was born while his
mother was slave; and while an
infant he was purchased by his
father, George Long, of Conoway's
representatives.
His father never manumitted
him; but, on the contrary, by will
bequeathed him to Minos Tidal,
until he should attain the age of
twenty-five years. Minos Tidal
took possession of Isaac; who, at
the death of his master, was sold
by the executor to Daniel Hudson.
Isaac, now a man, sues for his
freedom.
The opinion of the Court was
delivered by Chief Justice Clayton.
The first is whether a free Negro
in this state (Delaware) can hold
a slave; the second, whether a
father can hold his own children in
slavery.
Were the Negro race the strong
er it would subjugate the white;
and the master now, would in turn
become the slave.
If the Negro has not by usages
and customs of this state held
slaves, this court will not in titute
a new species of slavery, and de-
cree that he can do so; and we
think that to give the free Negro a
right to hold slaves, would be to
institute another and a dangerous
species of slavery hitherto I'M
known. The free Negro cannot,
in this country, base his right to
hold slaves upon the principle of
conquest. He is not of a different
race of men who by the sword
have subjugated their fellow men;
but he finds among the slave pOpu-
lation his brethren in blood, color,
feelings, education and principle;
they are the same race with him,
and have never been in subsection
to him.
Another and a strong reason be-

In Strict Accord
Sunday, Nov. 8, 1910.

My dear Mr.. Newman:
Just a line of commentator on
your splendid editorial relative to
the forthcoming national election.
l have just finished reading it, and
l can say in all truth that in no
other strictly Negro newspaper
have 1 read a better analysis of
the issues in this campaign or a
more unbiased and critical ap-
praisal of both candidates.
That l am in strict accord with
your advice and recommendations
in reference to this election is only
an incidental factor. Even if 1
were a Willkie man, l could neither
refute or deny your contention that
the welfare of the great masses of
Negroes is inextricably connected
with the Roosevelt administration
and the continuance of the same.
