But the main thins; about vBarr-

be used without ill effect by those
who nna ordinary cottee injures
them, because the yellow tannin

injurious properties of coffee) are
removed by the "steel-cut pro

WAS NO SURPRISE TO HIM
Prominent New York Man Gives
1 Ideas on the Race Question in Mar
' tinique Whites and Black Are Still
up in Arms.
NEW YORK, May 2.-TAe shoot
ing with fatal results at Fort de
France, Martinique, was no surprise
to one man at least, in that city, who,
occupying a prominent position with
a well known exporting firm, could
not allow his name to be made public,
in view of the fact that he was con
nected politically with one party on
the island, the anti-negro element.
This man received a cable message
immediately after the shooting of M.
Siger.
For years there has .been a race
war between the negroes and the
whites and the mayor has been the
foremost in spreading among the
negroes the doctrine of 'Down with
the Whites,' telling them that if the
white race dominated, they (the ne
groes), would be sold into slavery and
such nonsense," said the man, at his
office yesterday.
"No one knows better than I," he
continued, "how outside of the main
centers the agitation against a white
man's regime has been conducted for
years, ihe teeling is intensely bit
ter. Recently M. Vardon, a young
mnn. cried nut in the street 'Lonur
40,000 Laymen Pass in Review Live the Whites' He was arrested
Before ArchbishOD Of N. Y. and thrown into jail by the mayor

"The bitter feeling will continue,

CLIMAX OF THE CENTENNIAL possessions has determined that it
will not be dominated by the blacks.
I expect that more lives will be sac
rificed."
The Archbishop Had as a Guest of ne 01 the orncers of the American
Honor Cardinal Logue of Armagh 1 rading Company which has lmport-
Who Witnessed the Parade Which ant connections in Martinique said
that the company paid no attention to
the political disturbances, but he did
not think it was a conflict between
the white and black inhabitants.
"While it was more fatal, due

NEW YORK, May 2.-New York
witnessed an extraordinary religious
demonstration today on Fifth avenue,
when 40,000 laymen ranging from 20 PfPle" this ma" said "the Political
to 60 years of age, passed in review
before the Archbishop of New York
and his guest of honor, the Irish pre
late, Cardinal Logue, of Armagh. It
was the climax to a series of rejoic
ings for the century of organized
Catholicism in this city. The parade
started to pass the grand stand at "2
o'clock and last company passed at
5 o'clock. Among those in the parade'
were Thomas F. Ryan, Judge Mor

men.
disturbance was probably no more
than the one at the democratic con

SECRET RECEPTACLE.
Holds the Fortune of Mrs. Jessie F.
Dietsch.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-Cun-ningly
hidden in a secret receptacle
deftly carved in the leg of an antique
table, the fortune of the late Mrs.
Jessie Fremont Dietsch, relative of
the noted pathfinder, General John C.
Fremont, was found yesterday by the
deputy public administrator, W. J.
Hines. The neatly fastened little
bundle gave up a bank book showing
deposits of $4200, a costly collection
of time-honored jewelry, shares in
wildcat concerns worth their waste
paper value. The latter articles are
considered worthless, though they
represented thousands of dollars at
one , time. Their presence in the
treasure box tells a silent story of
where the dead woman sank the large
sums which she was supposed to have
in her possession at the time of her
death. The sole heir to the valuables
is Mrs. Mary Anne Jemmim Sizemore
of Georgetown, Idaho.

ROBERT WATCHORN.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Robert
Watchorn, commissioner of immigra
tion, was asked what he thought of
the report that he was to be placed at
the head of a potential new bureau
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, to be known as the "Anarchist
Exclusion Branch."
Mr. Watchorn declined to discuss
the matter in any way until he had
official information regarding it. He
did not appear to be well pleased with
the idea. "It is not generally known,"
he said, "that the United States gets
one-third of the Italian emigrants, the
actual figures for the last year being
640, departures from Italy, of which
number 273,000 came to the United
States, the rest going principally to
South America."
