NEGROES TO ESTABLISH
BIG COLONY IN KANSAS
Eight Hundred Promise to Live in
New Liberia.
TOPEKA, Kan., March 8—Ne
groes from all over the United
States soon will establish a colony,
exclusively for negroes, in western
Kansas.
A committee is now dealing with
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad. for the purchase of 20,000
acres of land, with an option on
another equal area, on which to
establish the proposed colony.
M. B. Brooks, editor of the Hut
chison Blade, a negro paper; Thos.
Owens and N. H. Jelitz of Hutchin
son and T. W. Gangway of Pratt
are the organizers of the plan for
the colony. They have had assur
ances of 800 negroes in all parts
of the country to move to the new
colony if the deal for the western
Kansas land can be made.
Negroes now living in New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Cin
cinnati, Washington and several
Southern cities have joined the Peo
ple’s Civil League, the name of the
organization.
How Colony Will Be Run.
It is proposed to manage the col
ony on any socialistic or cooperative
plan. The committee simply expects
• o purchase the land from the rail
road and hold it in trust for the
members of the organization until
the final payments are made. The
loailroad company owns many thous
ands of acres of good land in the
western part of the State. It sells
land only to actual settlers on the
installment plan. The land is of
ered at a low price and may be
paid for in five, ten or twenty-year
installments.
Only negroes who are now actual
farmers, or those in cities who want
to get back to the land, will be per
mitted to take land in the colony
The Civic League does not propose
to establish this trading post to
handle any business except that of
looking after the land.

WORK IS TO
BE UNITED
ALASKA COAST SURVEY FOR
1916 GIVEN OUT BY
DEPARTMENT.
|
In the bulletin just issued by the
I United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey, Department of Commerce,
the work as outlined for Alaska this
I season is set forth i nthe ollowing:
The vessels and parties of the
Coast and Geodetic survey are ac
tively employed on- plans and prep
arations for the season’s work on
the Pacific Coast of the United
States and Alaska. The Patterson
and Explorer are in the east water
way, Seattle Harbor, completing the
annual repairs needed to fit them
for work in the sheltered and near
by coast waters of southeast Alaska.
An item of $5,000 in the urgent de
ficiency bill, just enacted, will en
able the Explorer to be made ready
for this work promptly. With the
exception of the little steamer Taku,
which will continue work in Prince
William Sound, there will be no
other surveying vessels in Alaska
this season.
’The Gedney and McArthur, two
vessels with long and honorable
careers in the survey work on the
Pacific coast and Alaska, could not
be safely continued in the work and
were condemned and sold during the
past winter. The steamer Surveyor,
which is being built to replace the
McArthur, will be completed the
latter part of the summer of 1916,
but will not be available for any
work in Alaska this season. The
Surveyor will be employed on the
exposed work in Alaska during the
summer and on the coast of Cali
fornia in winter -
As a partial offset to the loss
of the Gedney and McArthur irom
the work, the remaining vessels and
two wire-drag parties will begin the
season’s work as early in April as
the available funds will permit, and
about one month earlier than in
previous ears. All parties will make
complete and final surveys, so that
notwithstanding the inadequate
funds and equipment it is expected
that a real advance will be made
this season in the comprehensive
survey of the coasts.
lo the Patterson has been assign
ed the passages leading southward
from Wrangell and Summer Strait,
including Kashevarof Passage, and
Rocky Bay and tributaries, Zimovia
Strait, Eastern Passage, Blake Chan
nel and Ernest Sound. These waters
have never been accurately surveyed,
the present charts being based on a
reconnoissance made in 1886 by the
same vessel. The officers assigned
to the Patterson are Capt. C. G- I
Quillian, Executive Officer I. M.
Daily, Assistants E. E, Reese, H.
T. Kelsh, and T. J. Shack; Aides
Jack Senior and C. T- Bussell;
Watch Officer A. R. Hunter; Deck
Officer B. C. Freeman; Surg. G. E.
Marchand, and Chief Engineer Will
iam H. Rober.
The Explorer will survey the outr
er coast of Dali and other islands
northward from Cape Muzon, in
cluding the important fishing banks
in the vicinity of Forrester Island,
and the unsurveyed dangers be
tween the latter island and the
coast. The present chart of these j
waters is based on sketches, and is
: makeshift only, to be pieced out
with local knowledge, until surveyed

LONDON, March 11.—The Na

WASHINGTON, March IB. — The
present agitation for an increased
navy divulged the fact that the
majority of the commission having
in charge the ^estimate of the cost
to carry out the plan, favors the
expenditure of approximately a bil
lion and a half dollars for new ships
and an annual upkeep charge of
$760,000,000. The board says thal
it will cost that much to equip and
maintain a fleet equal the mos
