Walter Cooperlder, a farmer living nine miles southwest of McPherson, Kas., was tarred and feathered Tues day nipht because of alleged disloyal remarks said to have been made by him. His father, T. J. Cooperlder, 90 years old, who has been bed-ridden for the pa9t year, was made to kiss the flag. A declaration of war on Turkey and Bulgaria was discussed by Sena tors Tuesday. No action was taken. President Wilson, when he asked Congress to declare war on Austria Hungary did not Include Bulgaria and Turkey, because he said, they did not yet stand in the path of the Uni ted States in Its war on the Central Empires. Senator Sherman of Illinois, while speaking in the Senate Tuesday on the Overman bill, which would give the President general powers for reor ganizing government agencies during the war, declared that the President had surrounded himself with Social ists, and that he should "scatter the bunch of economic fakirs and bowl ing dervishes" now in office. L. Louis Rapp, German alien ene my, a ook In one of the large hotels of Richmond, has made the request that he be Interned for the duration of the war. Rapp Is 35 years old. He came to Richmond from New Or leans about two weeks ago. He said that four of his brothers had been killed in action while serving In the German army, and that he was dis turbed about the condition of his parents. B. S.

A sensational climax to the pro longed trial of 32 persons, charged with conspiring to foment a revolu tion in Indian, was furnished in San Francisco's Federal court room Tuesday when Ram Chandra, Hindu publicists and revolutionist, was shot to death in Federal district court by Ram Singh, a former employes and fellow defendant. While Singh still pressed the trigger of his automatic pistol he too was shot and killed by United States Marshal James B. Hol ohan, who fired across the room over the heads of attorneys. . Every now and then you will run into a man who always has little tear drop hanging on the end of hla nose and who gets road when you call his attenlon to It. Big Luke Collins, the genial pro 'prietor of the Arch Cafe, firmly be-j lieves that a Camp Green solder in-; tended shooting him and three com- j . panions Sunday. The party was on a ! ' IfM.aiin w tnnr anil'ihar v.r. Irr-! ' sistibly drawn towards the niece a of all tourist in this secMon, the Char lotte camp. When they arrived they ' decided to park their car, and Uk9 in , the sights on foot M. Collins, un accustomed to mllita.T ways, was viewing everything with wile-open, , amazed eyes. The spot whee they steopped was near a sentry path, where 'two signs stood warning : autoists not to park there. The party, unable to figure out the forblden spot, decided to ask the sentry, who was silently pacing back and forth. Luke essayed to do the questioning, and the car engine stopped. There is a militry rule that a sen try, before speaking a word, must "port arms," which is nothing mort than bringing his gun from his shoul der to his chest Accordingly, when Luke hailed this particular sentry, he halted, threw up his head, and brought his gun to his chest with i quick motion. The Monroe man, who had been afraid all along that he would get shot at the ramp, thought sure he had broken some military1 rule, and that he was going to suii'er ! the consequences when the 6cntry 1 : brought his gun Into play. He did ' not lose self-possession, however, but ' ' steered himself and his companions out of danger with the following quick command: i "Go on, boys, gt out of here. He's ; fixing to shoot!" i ' The party, headed by Mr. Brooks Myers and Alderman W. E. Funder-! burk, which went to Detroit, Mich., I to bring back cars through the coun- j try for the Secrest Motor Company,' relate several amusing incidents of the trip, in which Yank Alexander, the only colored member or the par ty, figured. After they passed the Mason and Dixon line Yank stopped at the same hotels with the Monroe white men, rode in the same railroad coaches, and received the same treat ment as the whites because there are no hotels for colored people In the north, nor separate railroad coaches. Often Yank was given a room next to the ones occupied by Messrs. Funder burk and Myers at the hotels, and he lived the life of a sport. It was on the return trip when the fun occurred. A big snow storm in the mountains of Pennsylvania stop ped them from making any further progress for that day, and they begau to look around for a place of shelter to escape the intense cold. There wasn't a hotel anywhere around for miles, but near the place where they stopped w as a handsome brick home, steam-heated, and possessing all of the modern conveniences. Later they learued it was owned by a prominent bank president and dairyman. Nothing else to do, they went to the house in the hope of getting a place to spend the night. Th lady gladly consented to take them In. All of the party except Yank, walk ed In to the fire.- Mr. Myers, after getting thawed out, happened tJ think about the shivering Yank out in the automobile. "Madam," he said to the lady of the house, "we've got a darkey out there in one of the cars. Can't you let him go down in the basement to get warm?" "Why certainly, responded the as tonished woman. "Bring him right in here by the fire. Even it his skin is black he has a soul." A little peeved, Mr. Myers went out to summon the shivering Yank, who came trudging in looking for the basement. The hostess, however, met him at the door, addressed him as "Mr." Alexander, and insisted on him coining right Into the parlor. While they were waiting for supper, several selections on the Vlctrola w-sre play ed for Yank's especial benefit. When supper was announced Yank began looking around for the kitchin, as has always been his habit when in white folks' homes. But again he was coralled by the lady of the house, who proceeded to place him at the head of the table in the dining room. Ou the left sat Alderman Funderburk, and on the right sat Mr. Myers. The mem bers of the family were ranged on either side of the bng, heavy-laden table. The hostess, to show that she had no peculiar social ideas, proceed ed to pass the food iO Yank fi.t with the request that "Mr." Ale.andet have a biscuit, or a piece of meat. Then the plate would bi passod Mr. Funderburk and Mr. Myers. The Pennsylvania lady had two daughters who evidently had never seen a negro beforo. Much to he embarrassment of Yank, they center ed their gaze upon him ail during the meal. Yank said he would rather have eaten in the kitchen, much rather, in fact. Still, he said he wouldn't have minded it so much If thor had been another darkey in tha. lady's home with him.
