On NEGROES

EAST ST. LOUIS, m.-Japan's
Black Dragon society fathered an
organization called the Pacific
Movement of the Eastern World,
Inc. in the United States to un-
dermine the loyalty of American
Negroes, a federal grand jury in
dictment charged Thursday.
The indictment accused the or
ganization. two of its officers and
an unidentified Japanese agent,
listed as John Doe" of conspiring
10 violate sedition laws and the
selective service law.
The officers indicted were
General Lee Butler. East st.
Louis Negro and president of
the organization, and David ID.
Erwin, st. Louis Negro and
national adviser of the group.
General" Is Buffers name,
not a title.
Japanese agents, working under
the direction of the Black Dragon
society, founded the organization
In 1882, the indictment said, in a
move to break down the loyalty
of Negroes and persuade them that
they would be liberated by a
japanese victory over the United
States.
The indictment said branches
were established in Chicago, East

S6.65s.eoo or more than 81 per

estimate of S11. 200. 900.
That the mayor and the other
council members look upon o'Neifs
latest request with a questioning
eve there can be no doubt.
PROJECT Is EXPLAINED
As for the project itself: II
provides for the building Of a
storage dam and adjacent power
house with two $4,000 kilowatt
units. and diversion dam. tunnel
and annex to the present power
house with an additional 10000
kilowatts.
When Gongwer outlined
original plans for the project
10 the council he reported that
II would raise the yearly out
put of the total system, with
the most economical amount of
auxiliary power In occasional
dry seasons. to II GOO, 900 kiio-
watt hours per month. or
$4,000, 900 kilowatt hours per
year.
The installation. Gongwer re-
ported. would produce and trans
nit prime energy to Tacoma at a
cost of LAB mills per XVIII. which
is substantially lower than IT could
be purchased elsewhere. and would
enable the city to meet the lowest
rates offered to large consumers.
The project would take from
three TO three and n half years
10 complete.
Due to the war and resultant
lack of materials it likely will take
longer. ii cannot be finished until
after the war because necessary
generators will not be available
until wars end.

7S5 LIQUOR BOOKS
ISSUED IN COUNTY
ABC Board Head Warns
That Registrations
Must Increase

Only 7S5 ABC liquor rationing
books were issued here in the first
four days of the new registration
period.
w. D. Macmillan, chairman OF
the New Hanover board, said Fri
day that unless there is marked
daily increase of registrants many
will be unable to obtain books since
it will be impossible to handle an
excessively large last minute or
even last-Week rush.
Mr.. Macmillan pointed out that
state ruling forbids the issuing
of any books during the period De-
cember i to January 4, 1914. This
applies to all Of the Is wet counties
in the state.
Adequate clerks are now en-
ployed to take care of the average
1856 daily applicants. Additional
help is also now available which
may later be unobtainable.
Citizens will save time as. well
as being certain of obtaining books
if they will apply early, Mr.. Mac
MILAN added.
