HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. RACE WAR NARROWLY AVERTED Assault of White Woman by Negrs Causes Considerable Excite ment In Southern Kansas. COFFEY VILLB, Kan., April 12 A race war has narrowly been averted here as the result-of the assault by a negro upon Mrs. John Griffith, white, the wife of a machin ist, and serious trouble is still likely. Ne groes of the worst class have been ordered to leave town before night. In anticipation of a blash between the two races the mayor today Issued a proclama tion ordering that all citizens disarm, and at the same time many special officers were sworn In. Since the negro's attack upon Mrs. Grif fith the negroes have been arming to pre vent the lynching of any Innocent negro, as seemed likely, and early today an at tempt to disarm a number of blacks re suited In a dozen revolvers being levelled at Chief of Poice Smith's head. Other ne groes rushed to the scene, when a body of whites stopped them with rifles. The leader among the negroes was choked Into InsenBl blllty and the others were subdued, trouble being averted for the time at least. Many arrests were made. The negro who as saulted Mrs. Griffith Is still at large. After the arrest of nine of their ring leaders the negroes began to leave the streets. Six more negroes were later ar rested without trouble. Four hundred dep uties were sworn In today, with orders to shoot at the slightest provocation. Not a negro was to be found on the streets at 8 o'clock tonight. The white people are patrolling the streets and they say they are determined to rid the town of bad negroes. A report comes lnte tonight from Lena pah, twelve miles eouth of here In the In dian Territory, that the negro who as saulted Mrs. Griffiths, Tuesday morning, has been run down and captured. The news caused much excitement here, ahd a renewal of lynchtng threats v have been made.

Long., before the- appointed hour seating room In the large upper auditorium was at a premium, for this afternoon's busi ness session of the Latter Day Saints' con ference, .The crowd of over 1.000 people was lndlcatlveof th Intense Interest taken ln the subject which has been before the body for two days. The prevalent opinion that at today's session the vote, end that most likely a delegate one, - would be taken brought out a full bouse. The question as to whether the college board of trustees and the church bishopric should be sustained, or. censured for their action last year In continuing the college against the expressed will of the confer ence at Its last convening Is one upon which there Is wide difference of opinion. The feature of this .afternoon's debate was a speech by President Joseph Smith, his son Frederick being In the chair. The prophet opened up new lines of thought concerning the discussed topic and shed a great deal of light upon It. He suggested that the report Tt the majority part of the committee as well as the minority report and that of tht bishop relative to the col lege be received and ordered spread upon the minutes without adoption. He pointed out that to lay -them on. the table would be disrespectful and to adopt either would be the disparagement of the. other. Thus, as all concede that these men have all acted ln good faith and Integrity and have tried to serve the Interests of the church s they saw them, this measure of compromise met with much favor. When it came to vote five men favored a delegate' vote being cast, which broke the conference up Into a confusing caucus. Coming as it. did at the close of a long session It was nearly dark before the mem bers were permitted to leave the building. The exact vote was not announced, the sec retaries statkig 'only that sufficient count had been made to show conclusively that the move to spread upon the minutes but not endorse was carried by a large ma jority. - ',' ' GARFIELD CONSULTS MUDGE General Manager,. of Santa Fe Gives .

W. H. Green, for several years president of the club, who has been In Mexico the past year, gave the club a few pointers on plantation life, gratfe and otherwise. The meeting was somewhat In the character of a welcome home and reception to Mr. Green, and the greeting, he received was such a one as to Rtlr any man's pride. Cigars were passed around freely and the social spirit was uppermost all of the time. M. J. Feenan, the secretary, and President Cott smiled broadly and deeply every minute of the time. Now and again they would make a suggestion to keep tip the fighting humor and applause of the speakers, official and otherwise, was hearty and frequent.

The resolution earn estly petitioned the city council to recon sider Its action of Tuesday night, to have the property appraised and sell it to the highest bidder. Among other things discussed was the mayor's proclamation setting aside Satur day as a cleanlng-up day. It was decided to celebrate the day by the raklnfr of yards; the cleaning of. alleys and the burning of trash.

' The lighting committee reported that the district Is entitled to several of the U'5 arc lights which the city will put In, and asked the citizens to make known their preferences regarding their disposition. It Is probable that they will go In several neighborhoods where lamps are few. L. M. GJerde was appointed to look over the district. A resolution was passed recommending that the city council and the county com missioners work together to procure a place of detention for Juveniles as soon as possible. In this connection It was decided to ask "Mogy" Bernstein and Mrs. Towle to address the club on the work of the probation officers and the-Juvenile court.
