well exceed the number of top
show animals which turned out in
marcelled waves and trimmed
hooves last year.
Aside from the full program of
entertainment events which are
scheduled for this years winter
fair show at Bozeman, which will

al events have been planned by the
officials of the fair.

OF better production record. The
sale will include bulls of service
able age, all of which must be regis

the former on Feb. 26, the Angus

though large sales of high quality
cattle were held in Bozeman last
year, the 1913 show and sale prom
ises to be an even larger affair.

Pullman Porters Conductors On
Special Train Threatened With Death
For Refusal 10 Violate State Liquor
PORTER FORCED TO FLEE
TRAIN AT CANTON

Canton, Miss, Aug 2 (DNS) -
A Negro porter was forced to flee
for his life here Sunday from
white passenger of the special
Lions Club Train who threatened
his life, and the lives Of all Ne
gro personel on the train. The
porter was H. l.. Rhedrick of
140 West 193rd Street, New York,
Navq veteran of two and one
half years, married and father of
two children.
The train made up of special
delegation of Lion Club members
from Arkansas and Louisiana was
returning from sightseeing tour
that included visits to New York
and other Eastern cities. Upon
leaving Tennessee and entering
Mississippi Sunday morning one
of the passengers approached
Rhedrick and asked him to mix
him a drink. Because of Federal
laws dealing with serving liquors
in dry states Rhedrick refused.
The pullman conductor was called
by the man and he upheld Rhed-
rick's action whereupon his life
and Rhedrick's were threatened if
he did not throw Rhedrick off
tn train. When he refused the
men threatened to kill every "Nig-
ger" on the train if Rhedrick was
not thrown off.
The conductor hid Rhedrick In
Buffet room until the train
neared Canton and then gave him
a note to the pullman officials
there and slipped him from the
train as it neared the City. Rhed-
rick hid in Canton throughout
Sunday and caught the North
bound Panama Limited to Mem
phis Sunday night.
Other porterS remaining on the
train hurled notes from the win
dow to Negroes on the side of the
track, saying that they were in
fear for their lives.
According to reports, the man
in charge of the train and insti-
gator of most of the trouble was
G.. w. Clark of Shreveport, La.

Laurel, Miss, Aug. 1 (DNS) -
The reports of a new armed Ne
gro mob roaming the Northern
sectors of Jones Soupty following
tue widely reported racial dis
tcrrance at GDnto ,yflle. in rear
uy Jones County sent a heavily
armed squadron of deputies led
by County Prosecutor K. CoEl-
Inns, Sheriff Luther Holden, and
LareI Police Chief C. Wayne VAL
entine in widespread search
early Tuesday morning.
Branding the reports and ru-
mors of the armed Negro mob as
absolutely false in every element
and detail leading Negro citi-
zens here and throughout the
County, who requested that there
names be withheld, asserted that
the mob rumor was nothing but
an excues for a continuing comp
align of fear and terror aimed at
Negro citizens of the County, the
result of the bitterness aroused
among certain white people be-
cause of the compaign against
Civil rights being carried On in
the state.
One report of the mob branded
as the most absurd was that the
mo wbas organized to kill a white
man who hod refused to loan a
group of Negroes money. The
mans name was given as GURUS
Bullock, who employed a number
of Negroes as wodcuters.
Other rumors branded as e.
qually absurd was that during
the night a truck loaded with
Negroes came west into the mel
ghborhaad of the Bullock home
late Monday night to seize him
and that a Laurel Taxi Cab driv-
er brough another aimed group

SIX DELEGATES FROM

The rural colored boys and

The delegates will spend one

of the accomplishments of the
youths such as the development
of leadership qualities and the in

better farming and housmaking
practices cannot always be mea-
sured in dollars. -,..~-~'
For example, many of the de-
legates who report no earnings
from their projects describe how
their participation in the All
program has helped to improve
their homes and communities.
Some of the youths report that
they have repaired their furni-
ture. redecorated rooms in their
home, beautified their yards, made
over old clothes for themselves
and their younger brothers and
sisters, and joined in community

POLICE

nashville; Tenn. July 81 =
The Mayor of Nashville and Fire
and Police Commissioner of the
capitol city that the seven Neg
70 police officers appointed just
a few months ago have already
made an exceptionally fine record
as law enforcing agents.
Memphis World Editor, L. O..
Ewingler made a special visit in
Nashville last Thursday morning
to personally intrview there two
top officials of the city regarding
Negro officers. Mayor Thomas
L. Cummings issued the follow
ing statement:
"Any city with a substantial
Negro population cannot really
afford to be without Negro pol
icemen on its force.
One of the major accomplish
ments of Mayor Cummings short
ly after his return to officer as
Mayor of Nashville was the Sc
lection and subsequent appoint
ment of Negroes to the force. Mr..
Cummings took delight in the
fact that he himself took the lead
in appointing race officers.
I'VE had need of them and
found it good business to add at
least a detail to the force, he
stated.
A detail of policemen in Nash
vile represents seven men.
The interview was arranged
with Mayor Cummings and Com
missioner Mayors by Attorney
Horne, manager of Andrew Jack
sons ourtCs; and w. d. Haw-
kins of the administrative staff
at Fish University. Both mea have
been working closely with the
present administration in the pro-
motion Of many civic activities Of
mutual interest to both races.
1--WE have had need for some
time for Negro policemen. In
putting on unit we have been
able to fill that need. This unit
was given a course Of instruction
and was very interested in equip
ping themselves for the work.
They have been very efficient.
There has been no trouble and
friction as predicted by some.
am very well satisfied with the
calibre of men that we have Sc
lected and the work they are do
ing" The Mayor said.
Commissioner Mays pointed out
that for many years Nashville has
had Negro firemen. PRESENTLY
there are twelve Negro firemen
with the department majority of
whom having served for an ex-
tended period.
Nashville Negro police officers,
while assigned to the Fourth and
Charlotte formerly CEDAR vicin-
ity are not prevented from arrest
ing any law offender because of
his color. A white man who vio-
lates the law on one of the beats
policed by Negro officers, is SUBJ
ject to arrest.
During the past four weeks,
the Memphis World has carried
on campaign for police officers
in Memphis. This campaign has
been intensified in the wake OF

chanic at the Post Once garage in
Baltimore, Mr.. Trainer said he was
forced to support his wife, father
and 78-year-old mother. The Lam
ger-C Chavez measure would give a
81 900 yearly raise to postal workers.
A representative of the State
board who investigated his fathers
application for old-age pay, Mr..
Trainer told him that II had a Gov
ernment job and was making
enough money to support him."
LANCER Orders Subpoena.
"What kind Of a regulation is this,
that q man can't get old-age pay
because his son works for the Gov
ernment?" Senator LANCER asked.
why was your father penalized be-
cause you work for the Govern
ment?"
II don't know" the witness an
