That the play of "The Clansman," adver tised to be produced In this city. Is a detriment to the colored people of the city and prejudicial to the best Interests ot the community and that it should be prohibited by the mayor and council, Is the sense of the min isterial alliance of the Baptist churches of the city, as expressed In their meeting yesterday. The motion was Introduced by the Rev. B. B. Johnson, the colored preacher and pastor ot Mount Olivet church, who said that wherever this play has been produced it has been attended with bad results; that It stirs up animosity toward the colored race, and leads to deeds of violence. Rev. Mr. Barr, a visiting minister. alBO of the colored race, spoke in support of the motion, showing that the play had been produced In I Springfield, III., but four weeks be fore the bloody race riot In which many persons lost their lives. Rev. W. T. Jordan said that the author, Tom Dixon, is a personal friend of his, and that though he be lieved that the events of that period covered by the play and the book, the reconstruction days In the south, could never be exaggerated, still he regretted that the book had been written and that a play had been from It. He expressed the opinion that we are far enough from those days to let them die and said that he would vote for the motion. There was no dissenting voice when the motion was put. SOCIALIST LIE NAILED. Story of Starving School Children Is Grossly Exaggerated. CHICAGO. Oct. 13. The Social ists received an awful wallop today when city officials and charitable or ganizations began an investigation of tbe charge that 15,000 school chil dren are on the verge of starvation in this city. This story has been seised upon as a fine line of ammunition wherewith to bombard the existing order of things. The Investigation, however, shows that In a great ma jority of cases the children are hun gry because one or both of their par ents are drunkards. The fathers, In most cases, are loafers who work only long enough to get drinking money, leaving their families to shift for themselves while they make Socialist speeches In sa loons. Instead of 15,000 cases, tbe Investigators cannot find one-eighth of that number. In some cases the fathers are mak ing good wages, but spending their money in paying walking delegates, buying drinks for gangs of loafers and wind up the week by beating their wives and children and break ing furniture that has not been pawned.
