JAPS ARE UNABLE

TO WADE PACIFIC That's Why Texas Congress man Thinks There's No Danger of War. AIR THICK WITH RUMORS SLAYDEN. HOWEVER, SAYS THAT TROUBLE WITH LITTLE YELLOW MEN IS NOT AT ALL PROBABLE. Publishers' Press. Washinsa, L eo. 12. Representative Siaydvn of Texa3 addressed the house on the Japanese question, dur ing the course of which he said: "Although we are at peace with all the world, the air is thick with rumors of war. Senators of the United States lee storm clouds in the east and peripatetic preachers of unlimited naval construction are declaring that a con flict with Japan is inevitable. Our friends who represent the Pacific coast in the house are frightened almost into nervous collapse over the visions of little brown men marching under the banner of the 'Rising Sun.' The fact that COO miles of salt water lie between them and Japan does not appear to allay their fears." He referred to the financial condi tion of Japan and declared that "as one who can not appreciate the immi nence of this danger," it was his duty to contribute his mite towards restoring their mind. Mr. Slayden reviewed the war between Russia and Japan, and declared that he would call on his "nervous fellow citizens" of the Pacific coast to remember that "although the Japanese could march across Man churia, their legs are entirely too short to wade the Pacific." "On this side of the Pacific ocean the Japanese have no coaling sta tions " he said, "and ships of war which cross that ocean under their own steam would be comparatively helpless before they could reach the coast of California." Mr. Slayden took the position that but for protecting the Philippine Islands the government's naval expense could be cut in two and the military budget greatly reduced. The annexation of these islands he termed the "monumental blunder of our history," and declared that the United States has repudiated cherished principles by compelling the Filipinos to accept a government which they do not want. In opposing the proposed fortifications for the Philippines Mr. Slayden declared that he believes that when the American voter once has his conscience and judgment aroused he will command the abandonment of this "strange and un-American policy of meddling with the affairs of Asia." CENTERVILLE. Centerville, Ind., Feb., 12, (Spl.) The members of the Friends' church at Milton gave a delightful reception to the Rev. and Mrs. Aaron Napier at their church last Friday evening. Some very good music added to the enjoyment of the occasion. An elegant luncheon was also one of the features. Rev. Napier divides his time as pastor between the Friends church at Centerville and at Milton. John Lantz was the guest of, rela tives at Milton on Sunday. Miss Lora Bowers residing north of Centerville entertained on Sunday Miss Bessie Buhl of Locust Hill.

Claude Gould who has been spend ing a week with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Levi Gould, left on Sunday for Sharon, Pa., where he has taken a place in a printing office. Mrs. Delia Chambers is suffering greatly with a very sore hand. Thomas Clark and family gave a dinner on Tuesday for the Rev. and Mrs. Aaron Napier and Miss Leora Bogue of Fairmount, Ind., who is the house guest of the Rev. and Mrs. Napier. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Addington and son Willa4 and James Miller of New Castle and Monroe "Worrall of Germantown were entertained on Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lashley.

GIRLS BREAK FROM JAIL

MATRON CRUELLY TREATED Seven Female Prisoners in Chicago Police Station Eound and Gagged Their Keepers and Pulled Hair Out by the Roots. Publishers' PreasJ Chicago, r'eb. 12. Seven girl prisoners confined in the Harrison street police station beat, bound and gagged Mrs. Mary Heelan, the matron, tore out her hair, took away her keys and escaped. Bleeding and almost unconscious, Mrs. Heelan freed herself and reaching a telephone, notified a sergeant, who hurried out a detail of policemen just in time to catch the girls as they emerged from the alley between the annex and the main station. When surrounded by policemen the girls fought like demons. Mrs. Heelan is 50 years old. She was badly injured. WHEN STILL YOllllC HE HATED SLAVERY G .W. Steffy of Dublin Recalls Interesting Incident in Lincoln's Life. BROKE SLAVEMAN'S WHIP EMANCIPATOR'S COUSIN OWNED SLAVES AND HIS CRUEL TREATMENT OF THEM DISPLEASED "HONEST ABE." Dublin, Ind., Feb., 12, (Spl.) G. W. Steffey, of this place, recalls an an cient of his boyhood in Virginia, show ing that the great emancipator, long before his name was connected with the presidency, had views antagonistic to slavery. Mr. Lincoln had rela tives in Virginia, among them a cousin names Ella Worrel. Abraham Lincoln lived in Rockingbam county. This cousin was a man of wealth, owning a large plantation and a number of sla ves. Garvey Steffy's family lived on land adjoining that held by" Mr. Lin coln, on which there was a fine spring, the waters of which gushed out near a large oak tree; the branches widespread and affording a de lightful shade In warm days. As a boy young Steffy, then only ten years old, delighted in frequenting this spring. Mr. Lincoln's plantation came within a hundred yards and more, and time and again, while his slaves were working nearby, they would come to the spring to refresh themselves with the water. One day in June several of his slaves, plowing corn, left their teams and loitered under the shade of the tree covering the spring. "Old Abe Lincoln," as the Virginian was called, becoming aware of this fact, mounted his horse and galloped to the scene, carrying in his hand a long gad cut from a tree. A friend followed him also at a gallop. Slaves Beaten by Their Master. The negroes saw their master com ing and started for their teams, but they had to pass him in their flight. and each received a severe welt over the shoulders. This was a plain, prac tical lesson of slavery to young Stef fy, and he was much interested in the proceedings. Afterward he saw the stranger with Mr. Lincoln possess himself of the gad and break it into several pieces, which he threw away. Both men then rode toward the own er's home, their movements indicating a very energetic discussion between them. The visiting Lincoln was then only known to near neighbors and friends. but years later, when the time came that he was nominated and elected to the presidency, young Steffy, then living In Indiana, was made acquainted with the fact that the man he sawin Virginia showing so much dissatisfaction over the beating which the slaves received, was none other than Abraham Lincoln, who afterward became known as the Great Emancipator.

GREAT DANGER III ANTI-TRUST LAW

Literal Enforcement Says James Beck, Might Cause Wide Spread Ruin. LINC0LM DAY BANQUET FORMER ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES SPEECH BEFORE NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CLUB. Publishers' Press.! New York. Feb. 12. That the Sherman anti-trust law should be amended so as to legalize industrial combinations, was the conclusions reached by James M. Beck, the former assistant attorney general, and now a New York corporation lawyer, in a speech tonight at the Lincoln Day banquet of the New York Republican club. After commenting on President Roosevelt's statement that "combination of capital like combination of labor, is a necessary element in our industrial system," Mr. Beck said: "After a personal experience of fifteen years, both as an officer of the government, and later as counsel for corporate interests, let me record my own deliberate conviction: "1. That the law Is so obscure that no one can determine its precise meaning. "2. Its enforcement has been wholly ineffective to prevent the formation of great industrial combinations. Its literal enforcement against all business interests within its provisions, as now judicially interpreted, would disintegrate our industrial system and cause widespread ruin. "Since the drastic anti-trust law was passed they have grown and multiplied, until there are today nearly five hundred combinations, with an aggregate capitalization which exceeds 25 billion dollars." After declaring that the law should permit reasonablo conciliation, Mr Beck turned to the question of centralized federal authority. He said: "Least of all should the Union Republican party oppose any tendency of the American people to unify the country. The object of the constitution today, as in 17S7, is well stated in the words of its preamble, 'In order to form a more perfect union.' To this sublime end it is ever working. Th. future, alone, can perfectly realize that ideal. In commerce the best energies of the American people are thwarted and burdened, not merely by a division, but an unnecessary multiplication of governmental authority. Unless directly engaged in interstate commerce, a New York corporation, doing business In other states, is In the position of the hapless Chinese merchant, who, in traversing the forty provinces of China, is obliged to pay tribute to the cupidity and avarice of the mandarin of each province. Tho business interests of the country, sick from a surfeit of prosperity, are in danger of asphyxiation from a deficiency of capital to carry on the prodigious work of the people. The invalid suffers from the fact that too many physicians federal and state are crowding to its bedside and administering legal nostrums. Let the multitude of physicians stand back! Give the patient air, or he will suffocate. Leave the cure to natural forces. At present commerce is being slowly ground to pieces between tho upper : and nether mill stones of federal and state governments. To one and not forty-six conflicting governments, should it be subject." BATS . VERY PALATABLE FOOD FOR THE AFRICANS E. L. Sechrist Writes to Dr. Ewing of His Work as a Missionary Among Natives of the Dark ContinentMaking Progress. . Dr. U. B. Ewing is In receipt of a communication from faraway South Africa. It was written by Mr. E. L. Sechrist, well known to the residents of Richmond as an acUve worker in the religious world. Mr. Sechrist, it will be remembered superintended the construction of both the Reid Memorial clurch and the Reid Memorial hospital. About a year ago he and his family located in Old Umtalia, Rhodesia, South Africa, where he established a mission school. Old Urntali, which was established by an English company is situated in the mountains. Mr. Sechrists' letter gives some interesting facts about his work, climate, and the characteristics of the natives. Although it is under date of December 5, 1906 he refers to tbe intense heat which was then prevailing. Great progress has been made in tbe mission work, the school now having a rneaiDersmp or .5 dots, wane a year ago there was less than half that number. There are thirty eight girl students against eight when the school was started. Mr. Sechrist says that the natives are very tractable, and obedient, but some times great difficulty is experienced in getting them to work regularly. They have never been used to it. and naturally it i3 not an easy matter to break them in. Tha letter states that the living expenses of the natives are by no means excessive. They consider what are known as "flying ants" catapillars, locusts and field rat3 very appeti2tas delicacies. The wTtter in conclusion expresses hi3 thjmks to Richmond people tor t2ie &tf that they hare giren the mfesion la the ray of the purchase of scholarships, and hopes that they will continue to give it such assistance as thy can.
