EQUALITY WITH WHITES, ALONG SOCIAL LINES, NOT DESIRED. Dr. Washington Tells Students and Faculty of Arithmetic Vanderbilt That Social Equality Is a Bugaboo and That We Go Simply Wants a Chance. (By Horace D. Slatter.) Nashville, Teen., April. 12—Two events of great importance, upon which general attention in this city centered occurred last week. The one, an address by Booker T. Washington, was delivered at aristocratic Vanderbilt University, Thursday afternoon, before the Theological classes and the general public, upon the subject "How the white race and the colored race can best help each other here in the South." The other, war the thirty-second Mohair Commencement exercises, at which more than 100 young men and women received diplomas from the Medical, Pharmaceutical, Dental and Nurse Training Schools. The Commencement address was delivered by Dr. J. W. E. Benson, President of Gammon Theological Seminary, of Atlanta, and before an audience of more than 3000 people in the Ryman auditorium, said to be the largest auditorium in the South. Dr. Washington came to Nashville on the invitation of Dean W. F. Tillett, and it is the second time this great Negro leader has spoken before this well known Southern University, where are gathered the sons of the best citizens of the Southland. His address was full of characteristic logic, sound sense, and without any element of cringing or anything distasteful to the ultra-extremists of the race. Among other things, Mr. Washington said: "The white man and the Negro must prepare to dwell together in pence and happiness in this Southland, my friends, for the Negro is here and will be here always," declared Booker T. Washington in his lecture at Washburn University yesterday afternoon before the theological students and a large gathering assembled to hear the noted educator tell "How the white race and the colored race can beat help each other in the South." He elaborated on this subject in a manner pleasing to all present and discussed the problem, which he says in many respects is not a problem, or how the Southern people may uplift, and elevate the Negro to a higher standard of education and morality. Prof. Washington came to Nashville to address the theological students at the university by request of Dr. W. F. Tillett, to speak on the subject that has been of so much interest to the Southern people for forty-five years. He discussed fully the needs of the race as to education, religion and morals and said that they did not want social equality with the white race, as many thought but that since they were here among us in the South they wanted an understanding with the people of the South, that they were looking to the Southern people for guidance and education, for he believed that it was to the best interests of both races that the Negro be educated. In regard to this he said: "Now there are a good many people in the South, honest, sincere, well-intentioned people, who do not believe in educating the Negro, but there is nothing more certain to my mind than that the Negro in the South is going to secure education of some kind or other. If he does not get his education in the school he will get it out of the school. If he does not get it on the plantation he will get it in the city, and very frequently the kind of education that he gets in the slums of cities, mingling among the vicious criminal classes, not only unifies him for labor but makes him a positive menace to the community in which he lives. For that reason I say the Negro is going to secure education of some kind, and more than that, he is going to be all the more eager to secure it the more he feels that education is something that has been devised him by reason of his color. Now since the Negro is going to secure education here in the South, it seems to me it is the wisest and best policy for the people of both races to united and see that he gets the right kind of education, the education that will make him a better man, a better citizen and a more useful and more valuable laborer." The speaker not only advocated a college education, but he pleaded strongly for industrial education. His race, he said, could not throw off the shackles of slavery and go into the college and learn the literature and arts, but he must start from the bottom, begin on the farm and in the kitchen. "In order to secure satisfactory and effective labor from any race," said the speaker, "two things are necessary: First, the example of that race must be taught to have a love for labor. The example taught the dignity of labor, and gave the same time trained in practice in the performance of its words, to obtain effective labor. In the same place, if we wish to obtain labor, we must not only train labor and educate the mind of the workers, but we must awaken the ambition, we must give them something (to work for. No man works except he has a motive for doing so." He argued that the white race of the South can best help the Negro race by taking a greater interest in their welfare and giving them longer terms of schools, visiting their colleges and taking note of and encouraging the Negro's progress. Regarding this he said: "Let me say, in beginning, these remarks, that I was surprised at the progress of the Negro race and at the evidences of friendship existing between the two races. "There is one respect in which both races in the South generally suffer at the hands of public opinion of the outside world. The reason for this is that the outside world bears of our difficulties, hears of our crimes, our mobs and lynchings, but it hears very little of the normal, healthy progress that the people of both races are making every day in the year. It sees few of the evidences of the racial friendship and good will which I have found to exist in every one of the communities of the Southern States which I have visited. And yet I do not believe that any one can find another section of the globe where two races which are, in many respects, so dissimilar, and which dwell together in so large numbers, have succeeded in getting on better in all the affairs of life than the black man and the white man have done and are doing at the present time in the Southern States." The lecturer said that the people of the South should discriminate between the two classes, of Negroes, that the whole race should not be condemned because there was an element among them that were "bad," for there are thousands of Negroes throughout this land who are grasping every opportunity possible to be progressive and law-abiding citizens and it is the duty of the white man, after whom the Negro patterns, to lend a helping hand. Not After Social Equality. He/said the black race did not seek social equality with his white contemporary, and that he never would. In regard to this subject he continued: "Now there is one thing which I am sure has a tendency to keep our white friends in the South from cooperating with and helping the Negro in his efforts to improve himself in all lines that would make him a more useful citizen. I refer to the bughear of what is sometimes spoken of as social equality. I know the people of my race pretty well. I am constantly meeting members of them both in the North and in the South, and let me say of all the subjects that the discussed, that is the one that is the most rarely referred to. Let me say as emphatically as I am able, that judging by my observation and experience, no where in this country is the Negro race seeking to obtrude itself upon the white race. Nowhere does the Negro desire to intermingle in a social way with the members of the white race, and especially is this so in the South. I think you will find that the more the Negro is educated, the more he gets to understand himself and the world, the more he finds satisfaction in the company of his own people, the less he desires to force himself in any place that he is not wanted." The commencement exercises of the Mohair Medical, Dental and Pharmacological Colleges held last night at Ryman Auditorium were largely attended. The institution, which is for the colored race, this year graduated a class of 102 doctors and four nurses. The departments of the institution were represented as follows; Pharmacy, 18; dentistry, 19; medicine, 65; nurses, 4. There were two female doctors graduated and the same number in pharmacy. The excercises, being open to the public, almost every seat was taken by the colored people of the city. Much interest was attached to the awarding of prizes. Prizes were awarded as follows: Obstetrics, Mrs. Mason, Tennessee; pedotrophy, S. B. Banks; senior prize, S. S. Shoffner, grown and bridge work, D. H. Brown; best gold filling, A. S. Hunter, South Carolina; medal for efficiency, Charles A. Dunston, North Carolina; address on tuberculosis, $5 for C. S. Powell of Tennessee; gynecology, Dr. McMillan, Texas. The address to the graduating class was delivered by Rev. J. W. E. Bowen. President of the Gammon Theo- Storer College Suffers a Severe Loss in Burning of Building for Boys and Water Damage to Another Building. Loss Estimated at $20, $00, Insurance $7,000. (Special to The Advocate.) Harper's Ferry, April 13—A half holiday was given to students of Storer College Monday on account of the first ball game between Storer and Bolivar. Large crowds were making their way toward the field and only the College team with a few boys and Dr. McDonald were on the campus. The cry of fire was heard. On looking toward the Hall, tongues of flame were seen eating their way rapidly through the roof. Immediately every one got busy. By smashing in the door of the demonstration kitchen in the DeWolf building, a section of the hose was obtained. Soon several streams of water were playing on the building. The College School bell rang out the distressing news and people from all over the town hurried to the scene of the confinement. The students ran back from the hall field and teachers, students, boys and girls worked hard to extinguish the flames. A strong south wind was blowing and directing the blaze to Anthony hall, scarcely fifty feet away. By this time the entire third and fourth floors of Lincoln were completely in a blaze. The hall was given up for lost, and all turned their energies toward saving Anthony hall. Blankets were spread over the windows and kept wet. Dr. Henry T. McDonald stood on the belfry and directed the work of the fire fighters. By a kind act of Providence the wind decreased and finally died out altogether. Just when the flames were at their height, from the residence of R. A. McDaniel, which is directly west of Lincoln, flames were seen starting, on the root. These were soon put out, however, and no damage was done. By four o'clock not even a chimney of Lincoln was standing. The building was leveled to the ground. The library, which occupies the south wing of Anthony hall, was cleared of all its precious volumes, pictures and relics. The whole place was drenched with water. The library was just refurbished and fitted and is now in a condition beyond description. Dr. Brackett cleared his office of all its valuable books and the water finished its work by seeping through the floor of the rear upper hall and down into his office. None of the young men who roomed on the fourth floor of Lincoln saved anything. Their is a complete loss. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. Chas. A. Williams, of Charleston, received a slightly bruised and cut hand. Jas. Hill, of Alderson, was overcome by smoke. No one else received injuries of any consequence. The young men will take their quarters in the College Annex or Lockwood House. Work was begun on Friday for the installing of a steam heating plant in Lincoln. Many contributions have been received toward it. School will be suspended indefinitely. Although the time will not be long. Refitting of Anthony will be begun tomorrow. In speaking of the fire Dr. Brackett said "The building was partly covered by insurance, but the loss is great. I had just published an article last week, pleading for funds for the heating plant and telling of the danger of fire. However, we are glad, that the other buildings did not go." Everyone worked heroically. H. H. Winters, who was superintendent of Lincoln, never started to move his household goods until everyone else was being aided. All the boys lost books and valuable papers, because of the wind. OF PYTHIANS WILL BEAR NAME OF REVERED SUPREME CHANCELLOR Keyser, April 9.—A lodge of Knights of Pythias, with a membership of twenty-four was instituted here Monday by Grand Chancellor, W. J. Thompson. The officers are: Alex Redmon, C. C.; C. W. McDonald, V. C.; J. J. Joiner, P. C.; William Bartlett, Prelate; Clarence Walker, K. of R. & S.; Taylor Streets, M. of E.; and A. Buckner, M. of F. The name and number of the lodge are S. W. Starks No. 82. Seven successful candidates for positions as official stenographers for the Superior Court, out of sixty who took the recent examinations, were announced today as follows Miss Mabel M. Brewster, of Boston, a Radelife graduate, James Lynch of Boston, general court reporter; Horace C. Edgecomb, of Boston, for nine years with the War Department; Charles H. Robbins, of Boston general court reporter; James W. Muge, of Boston, Harvard Law School graduate; Miss Besace C. Niles, of Springfield, Vassar graduate and Miss Louise Jackson of Worcester, general court reporter. They will probably be appointed at the annual meeting of the judges next Saturday. The Supreme court reporters are paid by piece work and if they have a fair number of big cases make much money. It is said that some on big murder trials have cleaned up from $9,000 to $12,000 a year—Boston American, April 8, 1909. Mr. Robbins in a young man who lived in the West End. He worked up from office boy with the law firm of Bartlett & Anderson to an expert at shorthand and typewriting. His office is in the Globe building, where he has been in business for himself for several years. Mr. Thos. Bovell is the pioneer in court stenography having been placed officially on certain districts, and this with the handicap of an impediment in speech. Mr. Robbins is an pointed goes a step further. MULTIPLICITY OF MURDERS MOVES TENNESSEE CITIZENS. To Demand Removal of Judge and Passing of Drastic Legislation Because Sixty Are Under Indictment for Murder; But No Whites Are Ever Hung. Memphis, Tenn. April 11. Branding many recent murders, in which no conviction was secured, "as assassinations," and condemning what is stated to be a "deplorable condition of affairs," indignant citizens, members of what is known as the Civic League, have passed resolutions which end in a demand for drastic changes in local Courts. Judge Galloway's removal from the bench he has occupied for nearly 20 years is asked. Resolutions which have been entrusted to the legislators from this district asking for modification of power to grant bail to murderers on habeas corpus were also adopted. Attention is called to what is stated to be a fact that there are nearly 60 murderers under indictment but that no white man has been hung in this county for more than 20 years, although Negroes have paid the penalty on the gallows in more than 10 instances. The league, of which Dr. R. B. Maury, one of the oldest and wealthiest citizens, is at the head, also gives statistics to show that for several years Memphis and the county has supplied more murderers annually than have occurred in the whole of England. The Legislature convenes in extra session next week. A delegation of league members will visit the capital to set forth their requirements. BY LYNCHERS. eDputy Sheriff Was Beaten Insensible, He. Declares. Pensacola, Fla., April 11.—Deputy Sheriff Johnson, who was beaten insensible Saturday morning by four men, revived sufficiently today to make a statement. He says the assault was due to his activity in investigating the recent lynching. He says he received a letter warning him to be on his guard. He believes he knows his assailants, and arrests are likely to follow. Would Bar Blacks From the White Gatherings. Tallahassee, Fla., April 12—Senator William today introduced a bill prohibiting the attendance of blacks at white gathering and vice versa. Other important bills included the exempting of insurance companies from the payment of a 2 per cent tax. Inscription Committee Gives Only $600 of the $5,000 Promised and Famous Musicians, Led By Color- ed Man Find Themselves in Tight Place Far From Home. Washington, D. C., April 13. Now and then it is that the daily papers of Washington forget themselves long enough to make mention in complimentary terms, of some laudable achievement of the Negro, but generally there must be extraordinary cause for this sense of duty. Illustration, however, of the possibility of credit being occasionally given occurred during the past week and the extraordinary cause was the rendering of the highest class of music by the Phillipine Constabulary Band under the direction of Capt. Walter Lovering. At a concert given in Convention Hall on the night of April 9, in which the S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society, assisted with several selections this musical organization simply thrilled the audience of two thousand people gathered there with its rendition of popular airs and the most classical music, and the press on the day after was simply teeming with words of praise. Nevertheless it must not go unnoticed, the fact that of the incident being totally ignored by the white press, that Capt. Lovering and his band also played before the President and a distinguished audience a night or two previous in the East Room of the White House, and to the intense delight of Mr. Taft and his specially selected friends. The President was extremely forceful in his praise, expressing himself in no uncertain terms as to what he thought of the noted musical organization, and before bidding them adieu he shook the band of every member of the band and wished them further successes. Speaking of the Phillipine Constabulary Band, it might be cited, however, that "All is not gold that glitters," and that while Captain Lovering and his musicians have been delighting the hearts of those fortunate enough to hear their music, the financial end of the enterprise of bringing this band to Washington during inaugural week has been trying to find the right string to pull which will compensate it for the trip here. Apparently some government red tape has gotten mixed up with Uncle Sam's purse strings and the inadvertent pulling of the former has resulted in producing by $660 of the $5,000 promised by the Inaugural Committee with the result that much inconvenience has been caused thereby. The fact of this shortage in the financial department of this endeavor may be better appreciated when it is understood that the expense incident to the carrying of this band overland to Washington, owing to the enforcement of the interstate commerce law, which precluded reduced-rate transportation. The band is to return to the Philippines by next September and it is sincerely hoped that long before that time shall have arrived the depleted treasury of this organization will have been attended to. President Taft has, as yet, indicated only a few of his selections among the many aspirants for political recognition at his hands, and, to use the language of the street, "Things are still in the air." All manner of rumors continue to be circulated, but occasionally some well authenticated statement may be relied upon, and the article apparing in one of the evening papers, which paper is considered the mouth piece of the Administration, no doubt gives a correct line on the Treasury Department at least. The only Negro office holder undoubtedly slated for another term, appears to be Hon. W. T. Vernon, the article going on to say: "There is not the slightest indication that he is to be disturbed." There is but one conclusion to draw from this and that is that the present Register of the Treasury has given complete satisfaction. It would seem as if there is to be no further change in the makeup of the Liberian Commission, the members now compositing it being Mr. M. Morgan Schuster, of the District of Columbia; Mr. Emmett J. Scott, confidential secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington; and Dr. George Sale, of Georgia. A more competent trio of representatives could hardly have been selected as all are well versed in public affairs and particularly interested in the insular possessions of the United States, especially in the uplift of the struggling Republic of Liberia. It is earnestly hoped that the recommendations of this Commission will be given the closest consideration on its return and that the needs of this Negro government on the shores of Africa will be properly attended to. The Commission leaves sometime after the 15th instant, going direct to Monrovia via the Cape Verde Islands and will return in about two months time. Mombasa, British East Africa. April 12. According to native reports the Musulims of the Somalia inhabiting the desert country north of the protectorate are maging on the northern boundary of Kenya province. This northern district always has been a territory to watch closely. The colonial office in London has instructed the governor to surround Mr. Roosevelt on his hunting trips with every possible precaution. SWINGING FROM A DOGWOOD TREE WAS NEGRO'S BODY. Colored Coroner Refused to Cut the Body Down Because the Lynchings Had Not Been Brought to His Attention Officially. Dead Man Was Charged With Attempted Assault. Hopkinsville, Ky., April 12.—The body of Booker Brame, the Negro who was lynched yesterday afternoon for an attempted assault upon Misses Sailie May and Ruth Gee. Thursday morning is still hanging from the dogwood tree, near Lafayette, where it was left by the lynching party. Coroner Allensworth, who refused to take any official notice of the matter until it had been brought to his attention officially, could not perfect burial arrangements this afternoon and the body will remain hanging until he reaches there in the morning and cuts it down. This probably will be noon, as it is about 20 miles from here. He will hold an interest and arrange for the burial. After the Negro had confessed his guilt yesterday the mob did not wait for night or any other favorable circumstances, but proceeded about 3 and 1-2 miles from the Gee home where the hanging took place within view of a public road. Not a shot was fired and no attempt was made toward mutilation of the body. No even a note of warning was left. Brame was hanged with a medium sized grass rope, such as is used for plow lines and he choked to death. DEFENDING HIS HOME AGAINST NIGHT-RIDERS, NEGRO IS KILLED. After He Had Killed One and Seriously Wounded Another and His Wife Is Lashed By Man Who Resented His Remaining in Town After Being Warned to Leave. Shellman, Ga., April 13.—Defending his home against four "night riders." Alfred Iverson, a Negro, killed one assailant and wounded another before he himself was killed. Jyerson has been warned to leave after a quarrel with a white man. He refused to go and at 2 o'clock this morning "night-riders" arrived. The "riders" forced their way into the Negro's home and a bloody fight followed in the presence of his wife. The Negro shot one assault dead blowing off the top of his head and wounding another so badly that he fell. The two other "night riders" then killed the Negro and mercilessly whipped his wife. The woman notified the neighbors and the Negro's body was found in the home, and also a portion of the head of the slain white man. To-night "riders" removed the body of their dead comrade and also their wounded friend. GIVEN WHITE MAN CONVICTED OF RAPING COLORED GIRL. Governor Acts On Request of Triple Judge and Jury and May Establish Prisoner Who Was Convicted on Testimony of Negroes. Richmond, Va. April 12—Howard Toler, sentenced to die in the electric chair today in the state penitentiary, has been given a sentence by Chicago, April 12. James Confroth, the California fight promoter arrived in Chicago to day on his way East to arrange some championship battles for his Colleen Club this summer. While in the city Confroth held a consultation with Battling Nelson. Nelson is matched with Dick Hyland before Coffees' play on May 30, and the promoter and the Dane discussed minor details of the battle today. The articles are all signed and the match is a certainty. Coffroff while in the East super Jeffries if possible. If unable to get these two big follows for his club in a Fourth of July battle Coffroff is anxious to arrange and stage a battle between Ketchell and Johnson or Johnson and Kaufman or Ketchel and Kaufman. "I am not quite sure if Jeffries can get into shape," said Coffroff "before six months or more have elapsed and I do not want to hurry the big fellow. "I am of the opinion that Ketchel would make the burly colored warrior go his limit to win. I think it would be a great battle. Ketchel, when in shape is a marvelous figure and is one of the best puffsills, stars outside of Nelson and Jeffries that there is on the coast. I am satisfied that Jeffries will eventually get back into the ring, but not until he knows that he is in good condition. While in the East I will have a long talk with Jeff on this proposition." Coffroh has announced that he stands willing to hang up a three of $30,000 for a forty-five million bonus between Kebhel and Johnson at the Colma club, to be decided on July 4, on rather July 5, as July 7 comes on Sunday. Mob Takes Man Accused of Assault From Officers and Hurries Him in An Automobile to Suburbs of the Town Where His Body Was Left Hanging to a Tree. Arcadia, Fla., April 11—John Smith, a negro, who joined the ranks of white women assaulters yesterday, paid the penalty today when a mob took him from the Sheriff and kung him to a tree. But for the arrival of two white men who heard her screams, Miss Mary S. Ewing would have been his victim. Miss Ewing, who had been in the city on a shopping tote, was returning to her home, four miles from the city, when the Negro sprang into the buggy, and dragged her into the bushes. The young woman begged and fought with the Negro to let her go, offering him $100 in cash if he would accompany her home. Miss Ewing's screams, attracted Will Knowles and his brother, who were nearby, and they rushed to her assistance. The Negro heat is harsh retreat. After taking Miss Ewing to her home, the men hurried to this city, spread the news and bloodhounds followed by a posse of 30 men, were soon on the black's trail. The negro was found at a turbine camp, and taken before Miss Ewing, who positively identified him. Sharif Freeman and his deputies succeeded in placing Smith in jail, but being afraid of an attack, attempted to spirit him out of Arcadia. They were met by an automobile party, held up, and forced to give up the prisoner. The Negro was carried to the edge of the city and strung up to a tree, where his body was left hanging. Governor Swanson until May 7. Toler was convicted of criminal assault on a little girl in Fulham county, the evidence at the time being regarded as conclusive. Practically all the witnesses were colour people and these formed a complete chain of testimony. Since that time there have been developments creating grave doubts in the minds of the members of the jury and the trial judge, and they communicated this new evidence to the governor for the purpose of saving the matter considered and to ask for a commutation of the sentence.

New York, April 14:—Three Columbia University students, led by Jay Gould, son of George Gould, are the latest entrants in the race for successful flight through the air. Rapidly taking form in the Gould boat house on the Hudson is an airplane which will have its first trial in 5 days. This ship is being constructed entirely by members of the Columbia University Aero Club of which young Gould is the head. Two others equally prominent with the latter in the work are Harold Content and Grover Cleveland Lemming. These three have done the actual planning and attended to all the executive details, while other members of the club have assisted in bolting the pair together. The team was started about two weeks ago, all of the boats having first been moved out of the house and the place fitted up as a work shop. At present the frame of the machine has been completed, and the putting on of the covering has been started. Great secrecy has been maintain- Lesson for Man In Vegetable Culture Beet, Carrot and Potato Are Overused Artificial Products That Would Degenerate Without Carp. If a boy were to sit in an armchair and do nothing but eat six meals a day for six months, what would be the result? At the end of six months that boy would be a very fat boy. Indeed. He would be so fat that he couldn't possibly get about like other boys and besides his constitution would have become so delicate through overeating and lack of proper exercise that it would be dangerous for him to try to do so, says the Chicago News. The result of the eating too much and working too little may be also seen in the vegetable kingdom. The beet, the carrot, and the potato are not a sort of overused artificial helpless vegetable which would die or revert to their original wild state in about a year if they were not continually taken care of by the farmers. In its wild state a plant must be continually on the alert to fight its many enemies—the molts, the insect and the other plants, and it must ed, and the work has progressed in hind closed doors, only a few of the boys being intrusted with knowledge of what, was under war. A radical departure has been made in the manner of getting a start. The Wright brothers and, a number of French and German inventors use track, along which the machine is pushed until sufficient speed is required to send it into the Air. Ring's machine, the Silver Dart, uses wheels, which run along the ground for the start. The machine being built by the Columbia men will get its start from the water, and all of the lights will be made over that element. For this purpose a large boat-like arrangement has been built, pointed at both ends like a canoe and made alright. Should the machine prove the success its inventors hope they will cater it in the World's $10,000 Boston Flight. Columbia University was the first college in the world to take up the practical development of the armpit plane. besides work hard, to get food for itself from the scanty soil. The main plant develops many means of protection against its enemies, such as thorns and fine hairs along the stems, to keep crawling insects away, but the farmer fights the enemies of the plant he has taken, under his protection, so that it gradually loses its defense and becomes helpless. More and better crops so much rich plant food, roots that the plant habitually consumes and lives a life of luxury. Our beets and carrots have been enlarged from the wild variation by the farmers, who persistently selected for planting the seeds of the largest beets and carrots they could find. Different varieties in plants are developed by cultivation. By patient selection there have been developed from the wild cabbage, cauliflower, seakale and brassica sprouts, white from the wild turnipa come our less varieties of turnips. Man has been at work for hundreds of years educating the vegetables and bringing them to their present civilized state, but by scientific methods a perfectly tame carrot can be developed for perfectly well specimens in only a few years. And the conclusion of all this isn't be a tame vegetable. But right away and learn to do them for yourself. 1321 WASHINGTON STREET. Is the place for CREAM in small quantities.

's Stone "That Popular 654 Plans Are Being Made to Change Entire Present Electrical System. Rome, April 14.—The numerous disturbances and irregularities which occurred at the recent general election have led Premier Gloiottl to consider the desirability of amending the present electoral system. The chief features of this reform will probably be a redistribution of seats in conformity with the last census, an attempt to prevent corruption by heavy fines, and the institution of scrutin de liste for each of the sixty-nine provinces, instead of the present plan of scrutin d'arrondissement. It is claimed that the present method of election increased the bitterness of elections, because the main issues are purely parochial, and, therefore petty and personal. For example, no contest in Italy was more remarkable in this respect than that for Albano, which resolved itself into a violent local conflict between the little towns of Albano and Francati, both forming part of the constitutency, the one Radical, the other with the ferocity of two ancient Greek states. It was not, however, found that scrutin de liste, which existed in Italy between 1882 and 1891, produced the results which were expected from it. But there can be little doubt that a stringent corrupt practice act, if really enforced, would purify public life, especially if it gave the power of distranchising a thoroughly corrupt constituency for several years. Direct bribery still survives in some parts of Italy. Instances have been given by politicians during the last few days of how much a vote cost in certain constituencies; in one or two cases the figure was high. Differences Increased. As for the redistribution scheme, the difficulty is that the last census is already eight years old, and during that time emigration has still further increased the differences between the depleted southern districts and the much less affected regions of the north. Even in Rome, there is a great lack of proportion between the size of the various electoral divisions, the second containing twice as many registered electors as any of the other four. What would have more effect than most reforms upon the character of the chamber would be, as Signor Crispi long ago suggested, the reduction of the legal age, at present thirty, at which a man may become a deputy. Italy is governed by the old and a minister of forty is looked upon as a stripling. Swift Submarine Fleet for Japan John P. Holland Decides to Accept Contract from the Far East Government. New York, April 14.—John P. Holland, of East Orange, inventor of submarine boats, stated at his home, No. 11 William street, that city, last night that he had decided to accept the offer of Japan to construct submarines of the type he offered the United States government two years ago. The latter refused the new type, Mr. Holland said, and Japan will build a large number of fast model boats which will have a speed of thirty knots an hour. Mr. Holland is to receive a royalty on each boat to be built. Japan will send draughtsmen to the inventor, who will direct them in preparing plans. "The new boat was rejected by the United States government experts," said Mr. Holland, "but the Japanese are alert, up to date, and they are to build a fleet of submarines which will be competent to lead an attack on an enemy. The boats can accompany a fleet, travel across the ocean and will be small and speedy. They represent the latest modern invention and will be formidable in battle. The Japanese authorities wrote me six weeks ago and I will accept their offer as soon as I am in better health." The new boats will be small and easily handled. Mr. Holland's idea of a submarine is one agile in the water and resembling the porpoise, and this is embodied in the new construction. He says the naval authorities of Japan are almost abreast of the times, and said the people are so honest in their dealings with him that their word is as good as a bond. Hinton, W. Va., April 14.—The argument in the interesting chancery cause of Pardee et als vs. C. Crane et als, were concluded this week before Judge Miller. The suit grew out of timber contracts between the parties. It seems that Pardee owned 25,000 acres of timber and coal land in Wyoming, Logan and Boone counties. Crane & Co. purchased the timber on the whole, but a dispute has arisen over the agreements as to 25,000 acres of it, and Pardee sues for an injunction to stop the cutting and removal. The purchasers have 20 years in which to cut and remove. In that time timber grows a good deal and the question arises as to whether the lumbermen gets the timber as it stands on day of sale or what grows on the land in the meantime. The arguments were very elaborate, and continued the whole of the day. Mr. Edward Knight, one of the counsel being sick, was given the right to file briefs. An opinion will be handed down about the 1st or May. Terms: 1-10 cash, balance in monthly payments to suit. Discount for all cash.

Montgomery, Jr., lost his life in a snowslide at Valdez, Alaska, a few days ago, according to a message received at the home of his father, 142 East 18th street. The message was lacking in detail as to the exact circumstances under which the young man was killed and further particulars are awaited eagerly by the family. The brief facts contained in the message were forwarded by Alaskan authorities. The victim of the accident, who was 25 years old, was graduated from Harvard in 1906 as a mining engineer. Previous to his graduation he was prominent in university athletics, and was a member of the football team for four years. He also was president and historian of his class. Soon after his graduation, Mr. Montgomery entered the employ of the Kennscoott Mining Company and was sent into Alaska to do prospecting for copper along the Kennscoott river. He was of a venturesome nature and penetrated the country several hundred miles in his quest for metal. As the country around Alvarez is mountainous it is assumed he got caught in a slide while climbing and perished. The message to James M. Montmery, Sr., said men had been sent to the place to recover the body. New Dreadnaught Raises Standard England's Latest Battleship Is the Largest in the World. Washington, April 14.—Great Britain, experimenting on a tremendous scale, is building the greatest and most powerful battleship in the world. Information regarding its characteristics, in on nile in the Bureau of Naval Intelligence of the Navy Department. This British building plans are astounding and but a week ago the keel was laid for the seventh Dreadnought, giving the British a tonnage of almost 140,000 in seven vessels. Many details regarding these ships have been received in communications to the intelligence office, where all such data is kept. When the ships now being built by the British are completed, in about a year, Great Britain will have a fleet of Dreadnoughts, capable of firing twenty-nine tons of steel projects at one broadside, using the big guns alone. In addition each and every ship can outrun an American battleship and can make al- PEOPLE IN SOUT CHARLESTON NOW. THERE APRIL 1,1907. Room 501 Charleston National Bank Building Packing Company Passes Dividend Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, Issue Annual Statement—Concern's Growth Abroad. New York, April 14.—According to the annual statement of the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Company, beef packers, issued yesterday, a business of about $100,000,000 was transacted during the year and the yearly net earnings were about $1,800,000. In order to make the financial and the calendar year coincide hereafter the statement covers the eleven months from February 1, 1908, to January 1, 1909. For this period the net earnings were $1,645,129, or at the rate of $1,794,686 for an entire year. This is forty-one per cent. on the outstanding capital stock, which amounts to $4,333,400. No dividends were declared, the earnings, it is announced, having been applied to extending and strengthening the business. The surplus is $8,505,338, as compared with $7,478,966 on February 1, 1908, an increase of $1,026,372 in the eleven months. The total assets are $26,790,253, an increase of $462,301. Although it is not so stated in the company's circular, persons conversant with the policies of the company ascribe as a reason for the concern's refusing to pay dividends a disinclination to allow the forty per cent. of the capital stock which is held by the "Beef Trust" any return upon its investment. Three years ago the "trust" acquired $2,000,000 of the stock. In the last year the company has incorporated new branches in Europe to handle part of its foreign trade, Ferdinand Sulzberger, president of the company, who is now abroad, has superintended the formation of these branch concerns. A Hamburg corporation with a capitalization of 1,000,000 marks will take care of Germany and Holland, and the British American Products Company will cover Great Britain. The management of the American business while Mr. Sulzberger is away is in the hands of his sons. most as good time as our fast crusers. The new battleship, the Indefatigable, will carry eight 12-inch guns and will make a speed of 28 knots an hour. The Indefatigable will be larger than the largest American battleship by a thousand tons. it is believed that she will develop a speed on trial of thirty knots an hour, as fast as our best torpedo boats. The Indefatigable will have internal combustion engines, and will consequently not have any stacks. This will greatly reduce her top hamper and make her as small a target as possible. She will use oil as a fuel. More than a million pounds is being spend on her, and if she is entirely successful Great Britain will be far ahead of the other world powers in ship building. Double Function Played By Sun English Lecturer Tells How Weight of Light Acts Two Ways. London, April 14. "The pressure of sunlight falling on the earth's surface represents a weight of 150,-000 tons," said A. S. Eddington, chief assistant at Greenwich observatory, in a lecture at the Royal Institution; "but it is insufficient to make the earth budge a hair's breadth from its path." This fact was used by the lecturer to explain the mystery of comets' tails. Why Comet Tall Streams. "The tail of a comet streams out in a direction nearly directly away from the sun," he stated. "It is not simply left behind by the comet; it is driven away from the sun." "We are accustomed to regard the sun as the center of an attractive force by which the planets are kept in their orbits; and comets' heads also move under the same law; but the tail particles of the comet do not seem to recognize this force. For them, the sun behaves as a center of repulsion and urges them away. Sun's Double Role. "It was for long a great puzzle to understand how the sun can thus play a double role, but probably the most popular explanation is that which ascribes the streaming away from the sun to the effect of light pressure. When radiation of any kind—sunlight or the heat from a fire—falls on a surface, it exerts a pressure on that surface tending to drive it back." Mr. Dedington added that the photograph obtained at Greenwich last year of Morehouse's comet formed a cinematograph record of the marvelous motions of its tail. Cancer is Curable, Says Dr. Munford Symptoms, However, Must Be Attended to Without Delay, Declares Boston Physician.

It is readily curable if undertaken by a properly qualified surgeon, partly because they are ignorant. The early symptoms of cancer are trifling.

"Another important factor is the patient's age. Cancers rarely occur before the age of 35. They are not common before 40. Cancers in the young are more serious than in the old. Those of us who are in the middle period of life must not neglect apparently trifling out, presistant sores, swellings and breeds." "A few words as to remedies other than the knife. The X-rays have been found to have certain value, and splendid work in this field has been done in the hospitals of Boston. The radium rays have apparently proved even more effective than the X-rays, but the radium method, because of the expense of radium, is not yet very practical." Patients come late to the surgery.
