Flynn Loses to Champion JACK JOHNSON PUTS IT ALL OVER OPPONENT RESORTING TO FOUL TACTICS Big Fireman Was Game But Was No Match for the Giant Negro who Toyed With Him as a Cat Would With a Mouse, and Made Flynn Lose His Head. --- East Las Vegas, N. M., July 4.—The Jack Johnson-Jim Flynn 45-round fight for heavyweight championship was brought to a close in the ninth round today by state police. Captain Fornoff of the state force, personal representative at the ringside of Governor McDonald, declared that it was no longer a boxing contest, that it was a brutal exhibition, and that Flynn's foul tactics made its continuance impossible. He jumped into the ring with his deputies and drove the fighters and officials to the corners. Referee Ed W. Smith then announced that Johnson had won and the fight was over. Flynn displayed no ability through the fight. He was cut about the face until blood ran down his breast in a stream. He was literally helpless from the first round on and by the sixth was deliberately trying to butt th champion's chin with his head. Time after time as Johnson held him powerless in the clinches, Flynn jerked his head upwards. Smith warned him repeatedly but he could do no good. In the seventh he began leaping upward every time he could work his head under Johnson's chin. Flynn's feet were both off the floor time and again with the energy he put into his bounds. Sometimes he seemed to leap two feet into the air in frantic plunges at the elusive law above him. Referee Smith forced Flynn back toward his corner half a dozen times. "Stop that butting," he would say, shaking his finger in Flynn's face, "Stop it, or I will disqualify you." "He nigger's holding me," Flynn roared back. "He's holding me all the time. He's holding me like this," and he offered to illustrate on the referee, Smith evaded the blood-stained arms held toward him and waved the two men together again. In the next clinch, it was in the eight round, Flynn flung himself upward again. Smith jumped between them and warned him once more, "Next time you do it I'll disqualify you," he shouted at Flynn, but changed his mind for it happened again and again in that round and repeatedly in the ninth before the police took a head. Through it all the champion was smiling. He evaded Flynn's attacks with the utmost ease whether the Pueblo man led with his hands or his head. Only once in the nine rounds did he show any wish to end the fight and yet ringside opinion was unanimous that he could have put Flynn out at any time he happened to fancy, whether in the first or the ninth round. The Fight by Rounds. First Round—"Will you shake hands Jack?" queried Flynn as he opened battle by rushing into clench. "No," retorted the black. Flynn kept in close but Johnson easily avoided his attempts and flung a stiff left to the ear. The champion pushed his man across the ring and hooked his left to the ear and a moment later flung a hard short arm jolt to the jaw. Johnson smiled constantly and fought with great care. Flynn backed the Negro against the ropes and the champion returned with a right that cut a deep gash under his left eye. Round all Johnson's. Second Round—As Flynn rushed in Johnson simply grasped him about the shoulders and held him at bay all the while grinning like an ape. The champion pecked at the fireman's face with light lefts and as they clinched, Johnson uppercut twice with heavy rights to the jaw. The champion toyed with Flynn twice more shooting right uppercuts to the jaw, one of which sent the fireman's head bobbing. The champion early indicated it was to be a battle of words as well as of blows, time and again exchanging his usual repartee with the spectators. Flynn's mouth bled as he took his seat, very much worsted during the three minutes of fighting in this round. Third Round—Flynn cut short a remark of Johnson's by twice hook- Создание окна Рис. Рис. THE ADVOCATE. Southern Professors Study Race Question Economic, Educational and Sociological Aspect of the Negro Will be Enquired Into Through Efforts of Agent of Jeanes and Slater Funds. New Orleans, July 3.Through the efforts of Dr. James H. Dillard, field agent of the combined Jeanes Rural School and John F. Slater Funds, a commission of Southern State university professors has been formed to study the race question from an economic, educational and sociological viewpoint. "The chief aim of the organization," says Dr. Dillard "is to study the Negro in his relation to Southern life. I know that student groups in many Southern universities have been studying this question. They have done this systematically and with high promise. So I was led to conclude that we should look to our State universities for the prosecution of the work, and it appeared that the work could best be prosecuted through coordination and co-operation by all the institutions." The commission has been formed by the selection of a member from each of the eleven State universities of the South, as follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Prof. C. H. Braugh of the University of Arkansas is president, and Professor Hunley, of the University of Virginia is secretary. 12th Annual Session of the Grand Court 12th Annual Session of the Grand Court Order of Calanthe is Called to Meet at Huntington Tuesday, July 30th, by the Grand Worthy Counsellor.

Negro Democrats Are Turned Down Democratic National Convention Adjourns Without Taking Action on Request of Colored Heachmen for Ins'tion of a Race Plank. --- Baltimore, July 3.—The Democratic Convention has adjourned, and the colored disciples of the party of Jefferson and Jackson, who came here to ask that a plank be inserted in the party platform inviting the support of the Negro had their request denied. The nearest the platform comes asking for the equality of races is the plank praising the abrogation of the Russian treaty, because American citizens of Jewish descent were discriminated against. All the members of the National Colored Democratic League asked for was the reaffirmation of the race planks in the party platforms of 1872 and 1876. The race plank in the platform of 1872 was as follows: "We recognize the 'equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is the duty of the government in dealing with all people to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color or persuasion, religious or political." Four years later the following plank was inserted: "For the Democracy of the whole country we do hereby affirm our faith in the permanence of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitution of the United States, with its amendments, universally accepted as a final settlement of the controversies that engendered Civil Whr, and we do hereby record our steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of Republican self-government." COLORED ALTERNATE DELE GATE J. D. Harkless Attends Democratic Convention as Alternate-Delegat*at-Large. Baltimore, Md., July 3.—Among the colored men who witnessed the long struggle which culminated in Woodrow Wilson being the Democratic nominee for President, was J. D. Harkless, of Denver, Colo. He was an alternate delegate-at-large from his state, and is said to be the first colored man to sit in a National Democratic Convention as a delegate or an alternate. He has always supported the Democratic ticket and is a clerk in the office of Secretary of State, at Denver. MRS. FANNIE MITCHELL DEAD Wilberforce, Ohio, July 2.—Mrs. Fannie G. Mitchell widow of the late Dr. John G. Mitchell, one of the founders of Wilberforce University, is dead at her home here. She was 74 years of age. She taught school in her younger days in the South Cincinnati and Wilberforce. Her husband was dean of Payne Theological Seminary at the time of his death. Blocks for Foundation Blocks for Foundation OF THIRD PARTY ARE PLACED BY ROOSEVELT'S MEN WHO WILL STICK. Abandoment of Fight Is Denfid by the Colonel I Who Says he Has Received Assurances of Support From Every Section of the country Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 3.—With the Democratic national ticket in the field Colonel Roosevelt and a group of his lieutenants took up the work of laying the foundation upon which they hope to build a new party. Since the birth of the party in Chicago Little has been done, as Colonel Roosevelt said he felt it necessary to await the outcome at Baltimore. The situation in the light of the nomination of Woodrow Wilson was discussed at a conference at Sagamore Hill, which was attended by Senator Dixon, of Montana; William Flinn, of Pittsburgh; George W. Perkins, and Frank A. Munsey, of New York, and E. A. Van Valkenburg, of Philadelphia. The presence of these men gave rise to reports that the third party movement had suffered a serious setback as a result of the selection of candidates by the Democratic Convention, and that some of Colonel Roosevelt's leaders were in favor of abandoning the fight. Colonel Roosevelt denied this emphatically. "There was no thought of abandoning the fight," said he. "These men simply came to talk over the situation with me and to discuss details of the call for the national convention." Governor Osborn's Opinion. The statement of Governor Osborn, of Michigan, one of the seven Governors who asked Colonel Roosevelt to become a candidate for the Republican nomination, that in his opinion no third party was necessary now, was cited to the Colonel as one reason for the reports that all was not going well with the movement. "Governor Osborn has said about the same thing before," he said. "I did not expect to have his support. We are going to have some losses of this sort. Governor Hadley came out for Taft; Governor Osborn for Wilson. Our plans will not be affected." Colonel Roosevelt predicted several weeks before the Chicago convention that after all the nominations had been made there would be a period of slow movement such as he experienced in the first weeks after he entered into the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in February. He said he was in no way discouraged at the outlook, but, on the contrary, had received assurances of support from every section of the country. He would express no opinion of the chances of his ultimate success. Opposed to Bosses. From what has been said by Colonel Roosevelt and his supporters it is believed that several distinctive issues will be brought into the campaign. Foremost will be, according to the present plans, the argument that the course of affairs in both the Republican and the Democratic conventions and the recent history of the country has demonstrated the need of a new party which will be national in scope and which will go on record as opposed to "bosses" such as Colonel Roosevelt has said flourished with equal power among both the Democratic and Republican parties. Colonel Roosevelt believes that he will be able to present this argument with effectiveness and that he will gain a large measure of support south of the Mason and Dixon line. Colonel Roosevelt was asked what the party would be named. "Search me, by George," he replied. "The names I have heard most frequently mentioned are Progressive party and National Progressive party. The convention will decide. Although Senator Dixon said that the call for the convention would probably be issued tomorrow Colonel Roosevelt gave it as his opinion that it would be delayed until Monday. Some time would be needed, he said, to submit the final draft of the call by telegraph to the members of the temporary committee on organization. Dr. and Mrs. R. L. Jones returned to the city today from Washington, D: C., where they were called by the death of Mrs. Jones' mother.

Wilberforce Confers 6 Honorary Degrees Register Napier Made a Doctor of Laws with Bishops Coppin and Johnson—Seventy-six Diplomas Are Awarded to as Many Graduates. Wilberforce, Ohio, July 2.—Seventy-six graduates received diplomas at the forty-ninth annual commencement exercises of Wilberforce University, held here a few days ago. The graduates were from all departments of the university, and came from all sections of the country. The address to the graduating classes was delivered by Dr. Alston Ellis, president of the Ohio University, at Athens. The following honorary degrees were awarded: Doctor of Laws—James C. Napier, register of the treasury; Bishop J. Albert Johnson and Bishop Levi J. Coppin. Doctor of Divinity—Lae Rev. J. C. Anderson, of Louisville, Ky. Master of Arts—The Rev. A. H.

Through his indebtable efforts, a dormitory for girls is being erected at a cost of $43,000. Of this sum Andrew Carnegie gave $17,500. ARKANSAS GOVERNOR Comes Out For "Grandfather Clause" Amendment Disfranchises Negro. Little Rock, Ark., July 3.—Governor George W. Donaghey today gave out a statement to the effect that he was heartily in favor of the adoption of the "grandfather" clause amendment to the constitution, which disfranchises the Negro and which will be voted on at the forthcoming state election. He is of the opinion that if the amendment should be adopted fraudulent elections in the state would be eliminated. "We do not permit the Negro to vote, anyway," he said, "and why not take the vote away from him legally instead of by the process of intimidation? The disfranchisement of the Negro would result in fair elections between white men." Notable Marriage of Society Lights Nation's Capital Witnesses Ceremony Uniting one of its Religious Bibles with Assistant State Librarian of Wst Virginia. (Special To The Advocate.) Washington, D. C., July 1.—A notable event in the social life of the nation's capital was the marriage of Mr. J. Arthur Jackson, of Charleston, W. Va., and Miss Estelle Vivian Kennedy, of this city, which was solemnized in the presence of an immense audience last. Saturday at 7 o'clock p. m., in the auditorium of the 19th Street Baptist Church. The stately service of the Protestant Episcopal Church was impressively pronounced by Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of 19th Street Church, and the joyous Mendelssohn Wedding March was played with fine effect by Prof. Grant. Admission was by card, and the audience was one of the most brilliant assemblages that has ever been gathered together in the District of Columbia, many distinguished personages of both races being present. Dr. John Ellis, of Charleston, acted as "best man," and Miss Elfrida H. Kennedy was maid of honor and Miss Emma D. Kennedy was bridesmaid. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. William M. Kennedy. The ushers were Messrs. Edward James, of Charleston, F. E. Parks, A. N. Scurlock, Benjamin Washington, Ferdinand Amos and John Williams. The arrangements at the chancel were carried out in flawless style and the bridal party presented a beautiful picture. The bride was charmingly attired in ivory satin, en train, duchess lace, pearl trimming, and carried a bouquet of bridal roses. Miss Elfrida Kennedy wore crepe medior, canary, over messaline, Russian lace trimming, and carried a shower bouquet of marguerites. Miss Emma Kennedy wore pink crepe de chine over messaline, trimmed with embroidered shadow lace, and carried a shower bouquet of pink sweet peas. Following the ceremonies at the church, a reception was held at the elegant home of the bride's parents, 1920 11th street, northwest, which was attended by nearly four hundred interested friends in the course of the evening, all extending the heartiest congratulations to the happy couple and best wishes for a long and prosperous career. During the week preceding the wedding festivities Miss Kennedy was a special guest at a number of enjoyable social functions, tendered by her intimate friends, the most notable of which was a reception in her honor by Dr. and Mrs. B. R. Pinchback at True Reformers' Hall, with an attendance of more than 100, and a linen shower by thirty of her young lady associates, accompanying the shower of dainty gifts was a ma sive cedar chest, trimmed with brass. The presents, which were attractively displayed, were unusually varied and, besides being beautiful and costly represented usefulness and practical service in the household. Those tokens of affection and esteem came from all sections of the country, testifying to the wide acquaintance and personal popularity of the bridal couple. Miss Kennedy, the central figure of this delightful episode, has been a reigning belle in Washington society, and for several years has been connected with our public schools, being regarded as one of the best-equipped and most painstaking members of the capital's high grade corps of teachers. Her winsome manners and tender solicitude for the welfare of others have endeared her to this entire community, and her host of friends part with her with genuine regret, even while wishing her unalloyed happiness in her new sphere. Mr. Jackson is assistant state librarian of West Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, amid teartful adicous and showers of rice and the proverbial old shoes, left at 11:10 pm, for Charleston, where they will reside, in a home especially remodeled by the promen for the coming of his fair partner. They were warmly greeted by the people of the West Virginia capital, and many recheerful affairs are being planned in their honor. Ascomplished, public-spirited and helpful in many ways, Mrs. Jackson will prove to be a valuable addition to the social life of the progressive city on Kanawha. Mrs. Bettie Long entertained the Friday Night Aid of Simpson M. E. church at her home on Sentz street, Friday night of last week. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards have returned to their home at Des Moines, Iowa. PROGRESSIVES IN THE UPPER HOUSE AGREE TO STAND TOGETHER. Are Strongly Opposed to Movement Against Chicago Tick, but Others will be Guided Largely by Local Conditions. Washington, D. C. —On the call of Senator Currier of Iowa, a conference of "Pristine" Republican Senators were at the Capitol tonight. Those attended were Senators Borah, of 10 Journe, of Oregon; Brown, of 'D' Bristow, of Kansas; Clapp, Minnesota; Crawford, of South Dakota; Gronna, of North Dakota; Dixon, of Montana; Kenyon, of Iowa; LaFollette, of Wisconsin; Poindexter, of Washington, and Works, of California. All except LaFollette, Brown, and Dixon attended. Dixon was in New York this afternoon conferring with Mr. Roosevelt. The Senators decided one thing definitely, and that was to stand together in the progressive effort to gain control of the Republican organization of the United States and especially to aid one another in their local contests this fall. Sentiment as to supporting the Republican national ticket nominated at Chicago has divided. One Senator proposed that a declaration be signed and published that the "progressives" decline to support the President in the coming campaign, but this was dissented from on the ground that it was inopportune and might do more harm than good. Not To Support Taft. However, some of those present announced that they would not espouse the Taft cause, but would devote their efforts to electing candidates for Congress and state offices even though Colonel Roosevelt decided eventually not to head an independent ticket. If the sentiment expressed at the meeting does not change, a majority of the Senators present will not stay regular, although they insist that they are the regulars of the party. Measures. Cummins and Kenyon were strongly opposed to bolting the Chicago ticket, whether or not Roosevelt became a candidate. Such men as Bristow and Clapp will support the Colonel if he enters the race; they may be regarded as representing the extreme anti-Taft sentiment, claiming that the President did not receive his renomination fairly. Before a definite plan of action was decided upon Senators Borah, Crawford and others urged that the local candidates' wishes be canvassed. While Mr. Borah favored the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt at Chicago, he advised the Colonel against a bolt, and refused to join the "progressive" convention after Taft had been nominated. Hadley Back of It. It was reported at the meeting that Governor Hadley, of Missouri, was back of the movement to induce Mr. Taft to withdraw as a candidate for re-election, remarkable as that would be. Of course the President would never consider such a proposition seriously. Those present at the conference frankly admitted that there were many serious complications in the situation which could not be handled satisfactorily at this time. In Kansas, for example, Senator Bristow explained that there were now two sets of candidates for Presidential Electors in the field. The regular electors were those nominated at the state convention, and are called Roosevelt electors, and Taft electors have recently been nominated by petition. Primaries will be held in August, and the electors who win will go on the regular Republican ticket. Thus, even though Mr. Roosevelt should not become a candidate after further reflection, here would be a set of presidential electors virtually instructed to vote for him provided, of course, they were successful at the primaries and the state went Republican in November. Tangles Must Be Straightened. There are similar complications in other states, although not quite so serious, and before the progressive element in the Senate is able to map out a definite course to be followed con- Mrs. Herrietta Redman is confined to her bed with typhoid fever.

But Senator Works stated that he was opposed to dividing the Republican strength. To sum up the conference, the progressives were rather gloomy as to the success either of the regular Republicans or an independent ticket, but were of the opinion that Democratic prospects were exceedingly bright. No definite opinion was expressed as to how far Colonel Roosevelt would get with a third ticket, although the feeling was that it was too much to expect that he could be elected. Flynn Loses (Continued from Page One.) ing his right to the jaw. This nettled the Negro and he cut loose with short arm uppercuts to the jaw. Johnson bied slightly from the mouth as he emerged from a mid-ring mix up, but Flynn spat blood in a stream as the champion cut his mouth with a volley of rights and lefts. Fourth Round—Flynn rushed in close and met with the customary rain of right and left uppercuts to the face. At that it seemed as if Johnson was holding himself in check. He shook Flynn with a few stomach taps scarcely trying to protect his body from Flynn's attacks. Johnson constantly shoved his stomach and caused him to blaze which convulsed the spectators. Flynn earned a great cheer when he rushed Johnson to the ropes and planted a solid left to the jaw. The round ended with Flynn's face covered with blood. Fifth Round—Johnson nodded to the spectators and hardly noticed his white antagonist. Flynn banged away at the stomach, by this time Johnson covered up and shot four lefts to one face in quick succession varying it with a left uppercut to the jaw. Flynn at close range sent half dozen punches on Johnson's stomach, but Johnson only smiled and again made no apparent attempt to protect his mid section. Johnson aroused the crowd to merriment by releasing Flynn's hold and chasing his own gloves together like a happy school girl. "I can't fight while he's holding me," shouted Flynn, protesting to the referee. The round ended then with Johnson holding a running conversation with his wife and seconds. Sixth Rounds—Flynn butted with his head three times and complained that Johnson made it justifiable by holding him. Flynn was severely reprimanded for deliberately butting the champion. Flynn tried to find a loophole to stem the beating given him. Johnson dazed the fireman with his speed landing a left and a right to the jaw. "He's holding me, was Flynn's cry. Johnson maddened and landed a volley of straight left and right punches to the face fairly bewildering Flynn, then he stopped himself, apparently with a view to prolonging the contest. Flynn's seconds also warned him to cease butting when he sat down. Seventh Round—Johnson landed fully a dozen, rapid fire right and lefts to the fireman's face and at the same time placed himself in a position to withstand Flynn's butting tactics. "Wait a minute," cried Johnson to a spectator, who had shouted for him to end it. Flynn bled profusely from the nose as Johnson beat a tattoo with left and rights to that organ. Flynn failed to land a glove on the champion, the blacks defense proving impregnable. Johnson made the blood spurt as he rained blow after blow on his bewildered opponent. There was not a drop of blood on Johnson as he took his seat. Eighth Round—Flynn again tried to butt and was warned. The round was very much like its predecessors with Johnson uppercutting and Flynn butting viciously at the same time losing a world of blood. Flynn was helpless in the champions hands and for the tenth time in this round was warned, the referee adding: "Once more and I'll disqualify you." Johnson held the fireman at arms length. Ninth Round—They sparred and clinched. Flynn jumped with his foot in the air and butted Johnson in the chin. Captain Cowles, New Mexico State police stepped into the ring and stopped the fight. Referee Smith declared Johnson winner. DRY CLEANING Y WA SHOE REPAIRING DRY CLEANING NU WAY SHOE REPAIRING Charleston, W. Va.

Pastor Russell Shows the Bible Student How to Seek the Mind of the Lord on Important Subjects, and Acts as a Guide In Helping to Solve Our Man-made Mysteries. Kyracuse, N. Y., June 30.—Pastor Russell addressed two large audiences there today, one in the Empire Theatre. We report one of his discourses from this text: "To us, there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord PASTOR RUSSELL PETER H. BURGESS Jesus, by whom are all things, and we by Him. Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge."—I Corinthians vil, 6, 7. For long centuries God's people have been confessing a Divine trinity, taught by the creeds, which was incomprehensible; and meantime they have been neglecting the trinity taught by the Bible, which is more reasonable. If the trinity of the creeds was questioned, body hands were lifted in horror, and the questioner was told that the subject was a mystery, which he could not possibly understand, but to doubt it would mean his damnation! Therefore he must profess to believe what he did not understand, and therefore could not believe. The mysterious proposition was sometimes put in one form and sometimes in another. Some stated it to be 3 x 1 is one. But others stated it differently, 1 x 3 is one. No wonder if some of the more intelligent specimens of our race declared themselves incapable of understanding such mathematics, and too honest to confess and profess what they could not believe. Many of these honest souls have been forced by their candor to remain outside the various denominations of Christendom. Under such pressure it should not surprise us that there has spring up an equally unscriptural theory, styled Universalism, desiring to worship God, yet too honest and conscientious to make false pretensions of faith. These have been driven to an antagonism of the popular theory of the trinity to the extent of ignoring the Divinity on our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teachings of the Bible to this effect. In a word, the great Adversary, during the Dark Ages, succeeded in swinging the pendulum first to one extreme and then to the opposite extreme, while the very Truth, which the Bible presents, lies midway between them. The Bible students, let us seek to know the mind of the Lord on this subject, as well as on other subjects, assured that the Wisdom which comes from above is alone capable of giving our proper instruction and guidance, and of solving our man-made mysteries. Consider Now Our Lord's statements—our text being an example. Not once from Genesis, no revelation does the word trinitary occur. No once is there any hint of such trinitary as the creeds describe—except in the one text—I John v, 7—which all schools, including trinitarians, agree in spurious—not found in Greek manuscripts of an earlier date than the seventh century—evidently "doctored" by some trinitarian Doctor of Divinity to meet his long-felt want. During thevised English Version omits the interpolated parts of this next introduced about the seventh century to support the trinitarian theory, although the revisers all profess to be trinitarians. When one's attention is called to this spurious passage, the bungling character of the addition to the Apostle's words is quickly discerned. St. John is thereby made to say that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are going about heaven testifying to the angels that Jesus is the Son of God. Even a child's mind can discern the absurdity of this statement, for surely the angels knew that Jesus was the Son of God before He came into the world and during His earthly ministry and since, without any necessity for a testimony to this effect from the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, The Testimony of the Bible. The Testimony of the Bible. The Bible sets forth that Jehovah is the Almighty God, and that our Lord Jesus is His Son, His offspring, gloriously exalted to the Father's right hand of power, dominion and glory—as His Chief Representative and Agent in all matters. The Father and the Son, although different persons, are one in the sense in which our Lord Jesus stated—one in mind, in purpose, in plan, in action, in everything except in person. How clearly the Master stated this to us, and how strangely we overlooked the force of His words when He prayed for the Church that we might all be "one, even as Thou, Father, and I are one!" The oneness of the Church is certainly not a oneness of person, but a oneness of faith, hope, harmony, fellowship, even as is the oneness of the Father and the Son. Read over the Master's words at your convenience at home. They are found in the 17th chapter of St. John's Gospel. As for the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Truth, the spirit of God, the spirit of Christ, the spirit of holiness, the spirit of a sound mind—it is the antithesis, or opposite of a spirit of error, a spirit of vacillation, the spirit of Satan, or opposition to God, a spirit of unrighteousness, or unholiness. These are not different spirit beings, but emanations from spirit beings. As the spirit of Satan is a spirit of evil, or an evil influence, mind or disposition, a power emanating from Satan, so contrariwise, the spirit of God is a spirit of holiness, righteousness, truth, the emanation and display of the Divine will, purpose, energy and power. And this Holy Spirit proceeds from God the Father. And our Lord Jesus Christ, being in the fullest harmony with the Father, His Spirit is the same spirit of holiness and truth. And all of God's consecrated people in the event that they have the mind of Christ, the heart of Christ, have the Holy Spirit, and shed forth this holy influence upon all with whom they come in contact. Thus we see that there is a trinity of the Scriptures very different from the trinity of the creeds—a beautiful trinity. Before we proceed to demonstrate the Scripture text, we to give an array of Scripture text proving it, let us glance backward and note the conditions and circumstances which gave rise to erroneous theory of the trinity set forth in our creeds, namely, as stated by some, that there are three Gods in one person—the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Or, as stated by some other persons. There is one God in three persons, or a trinity of Gods with one alm and object. The Origin of the Error. It will not be disputed that for more than four thousand years there was no suggestion of a trinity of gods nor of more than one God, amongst theites. The heathen nations recognized gods many-polytheism—and at least one of these as having a trinity. But God's people were warned against all these, being instructed in these words, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord-Jehovah. Thou shalt have no other gods [mighty ones, rulers] before me." (Deuteronomy vl. 4). It should be noted that our Bible recognises earthly gods or rulers, none of these were ever to rank with the gods of Eternal One, whose Word and authority stand and supreme with those who would be His God. Indeed, the word elohim, as used in the Bible, and translated gods, signifies merely mighty ones. Jehovah, being the Mightiest One of all, is frequently referred to by this word elohim. And sometimes, by way of showing His pre-eminence over other mighty ones (elohim). He is styled the All-Mighty One. The word elohim is also used in the Bible in respect to angels, which they are mighter than men, especially when they came to men as Divine agents, being the Divine message. In one instance the word or gods, is used in referring to men—in positions of might or authority—the seventy elders of Israel—Exodus xxl, 6xl, xxl, 8, 9; 2Psalm lxxlxl, xxl As we shall shortly show, the words of Jesus and the Apostles fully corroborate the teaching of the Old Testament, adding that Jesus is the Son of God, and that the call of this Gospel Age is for the gathering of the Church, to be under and associate sons, "partakers of the divine nature." It was after the death of the twelve Apostles that, without Divine authority, the bishops of the church were proclaimed to be the successors of the Apostles, and to possess Apostolic authority, as teacher in the church, and whose words were to be the successors of plenary inspiration. It was these bishops the one who declared the doctrine that 3 x 1 is one—that God is one being, of three personalities or manifestations, all three being equal in power and in glory. The question is. Why did they make such a statement? Why should they concoct so scriptural and so unenable a proposition? The answer is that it requires combat certain errors prominent in their life. They flow from one extreme to another. As soon as Christianity became prominent enough in the world to attract the attention of the Grecian philosophers, they confessed some of its teachings to be grand and noble, but they attacked the thought that Jesus was more than a man and that His death was in any sense of the word necessary as the Atonement price for the sins of the人. In proportion as they endeavored to discredit the Redeemer and to deny His prehuman nature, they did the other party exalt and extol Him, until they claimed for Him that which neither He nor the Apostles ever claimed, namely, that He was the Father as well as the Son—that He was not only equal to the Father in power and glory, but was the same in person, etc., etc. Hearken to the Words of Jesus. A little Scripture is worth far more than a great deal of reasoning, much more than all the statements in all the creeds, because the Word of God is Truth, and there been proven untrue in many particulars. We will take the words of Jesus first, of whom the Father said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." "Bear yo Hoc"—Matthew III, 11; Luke lxv. 16; Luke ixv. 17; Father is greater than I." "John xlv. 28." "My Father is greater than all"—John c. 29. "Of Mine Own Self I can do nothing."— john v. 30. "As the Father hath sent Me, so send I ou."—John xx. 21. "I came not to do Mine Own will, but he in of Him that sent John—"John 1, 38. There is a unity here manifested—an absolute unity of mind and purpose, because he Redeemer sought not to do His own will, but the Father's will. Hence they were one, even as we will be one with each other if we as disciples are in harm with the Father's will and Word, and in harmony with our Redeemer's counsel. Hear Jesus again: After His death, after His resurrection, when speaking to Mary, He said, "I have not yet ascended to My Father. " * I ascend to My Father and your Father, to My God and to your God. John xx. 26. The Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemes, because I said, I am the Son of God?"—John x, 36. Perhaps the strongest testimony of the Scriptures respecting the exalted position held by the Redeemer is the word of our Lord Jesus Himself, "That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father (John v. 22). This is in harmony with the thought of the Father and the Son being of one mind, one will, one purpose; but it distinctly shows that they are separate persons, otherwise we could not reverence the one as we reverence the other. Our text is to the point. It declares the faith once delivered to the saints, and not nothing about the trinity-three Gods in one God, "The One God, the Father." The context shows that the Apostle is contrasting our faith with the faith of others who recognize gods many and lords many. We Christians, says the Apostle, recognize only One Supreme God of all gods-"The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." as 53 and Father Peter 1, &. Our text declares that or proceed from the Father. He is the Source and Fountain, the Father of mercies, "from whom cometh every good and perfect gift." His great Gift to mankind was the Gift of His Son, our Lord was the Gift of His Son, our sent into the world to be man's Redeemer. Three Gods, equal in power and glory, could not be said to send each other; neither would they pray to each other, as Jesus prayed to the Father—"Who in the days of His flesh, when He had of his prayers and supplications with strong crying, had to go to the hovah] that was able to save Him from death, was heard in that He feared." (Hobrews v. 7.) An angel was sent to comfort Him and to assure Him of the Father's love, that the Father had not been well pleased in His sight, and that He should have a glorious resurrection by the Father's power in due time. Our text proceeds to acknowledge our Lord Jesus, saying to us, "There is one Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"—only one, The Son of the Highest," our gracious Redeemer, the chieftest among ten thousand, who is to be the Bridegroom, the King of the future; He who is shortly to receive the Church to Himself as a Bride and joint-heir in His Kingdom; He who as King of the world and as Lord of the world, will reign for a thousand years, and, backed by the Holy Spirit, will all into subjection to the Dylane will. It is He who will thus deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father, that Jehovah may be All and in all, and that the glorified Christ may be at the right side. The Majesty on high—next to the Father—on the Bride Bride next to *Hem*, on his right hand. The Logos—"First and Last." The Scriptures very explicitly declare to us that the Heavenly Father is from everlasting to everlasting-God. But not so His creatures. From time to time He has exercised His Omnipotent Power and Wisdom in a variety of creations. Necessarily, however, these had a beginning—one was first, and the Bible most clearly tells us that that first one, "The Beginning of the creation of God," was the Looga. And the Bible explains that Jehovah's First-Born Son was highly honored, in that the Father used Him as the Channel and Agency through whom all subsequent creations were effected. He it was who was given the honorable commission and authority of the Creator, and of thereby proving His loyalty to the Father, and of being exalted to the divine nature, "far above angels, principalities and powers." From the very beginning He was above all other creations effected through Him; but by this last exaltation He attained, in His resurrection from the dead, a place far and away above all others—where He shall ever remain without a peer. And, wonderful thought! The Call of this Gospel Age is to become heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ our Redeemer, by a manifestation of His spirit of obedience to the Father, and drinking the cup which the Father hath given us, bringing our loyalty to Jehovah and to His perfect will in all things, even unto death. "The Logos Was a God." In the opening of St. John's Gospel we have a record of the greatness of the Logos. And it is much more clear and distinct in the Greek than in our English. The word logos, I remind you, signifies the "word," the "message," and hence is a proper term for a special messenger. In old times kings addressed their people, not directly, but through such a messenger, or logos, who stood before the king, latter being screened behind a lattice-work, the message from the king, he uttered or proclaimed it to the people; hence he was styled the logos, the Word. This is one of the grandest titles given to our Redeemer. He was the Father's logos, or Massenger, or Mouthpiece. He was the one who gave His dealings with the angels, and In his creative work; and later He became to men the Voice of Him who speaketh from on earth, for God hath spoken to him and paid for through the blood of the cross of Christ. Let us read together the inspired record of St. John, I, 1-3, 14, 10, 11: "In the beginning was the Logos and the Logos was with the God, and the Logos was a god. The same was in the beginning with the God. By Him were all things made that were made, and without Him was made the God. And the Logos was made flesh and dwell and we beheld His glory, as the glory of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came to His own [people—the Jews] and His own received Him not; but to as many as received Him, to them gave He liberty [privilege] to become sons of God" [partakers of the divine nature—II Peter I, 11], to be no better than Name, who were begotten of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God—at Pentecost and subsequently. How beautiful, simple and straightforward and non-mysterious is the Divine record respecting the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and their absolute oneness or harmony! How different from the nonsense which for so long we endeavored to believe, because we thought it supported by the Bible! Good Brother Wesley was one of those honest souls who was seriously troubled on the subject. He remarked that only the one text, I John 6:11, was sufficient for this doctrine. He knew not that the difficulty lay in Interpolation—an addition to the Apostle's words. It is only in comparatively recent years that the three original Greek manuscripts have been brought to light, namely, the Sinatic, Vatican No. 1299 and the Alexandrian. The Beginning of God's Creation The Beginning of God's Creation. Let us hearken to the Apostle Paul's statement respecting our dear Redeemer and His glorious station. He uttered not a word favoring the absurd theory that our Redeemer was His own Father and his Son—no in person. He declared in harrowing words that John's support that our Lord Jesus was "the beginning of the creation of God" (Revelation ill, 14). St. Paul declared that Jesus was "The First-Born of every creature, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence" (Colossians 1, 15, 18). And when in one of his statements he spoke of our Lord Jesus as though He would follow the statement with another, saying, "It is manifest that the Father is excepted (I Corinthians xv, 27). In all comparisons, for, as Jesus declared, the Father is above all. Our Lord Jesus' own testimony is that He is the First and the Last, "the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End of the Divine creation. In other words, that He and Son. He nover afterwards directly created any other person or thing. The Logos was the First and the Last, and by Him were all things made that were made. Let us then honor the Son as the Son and as the glorious Agent and Representative of the Father in all things—by whom (through whom) are all things of the Divine Plan; and let us honor also the Father, as "the Father of lights," and Father of mercies and grace and truth, "of whom are all things." The testimony of the Blessed Son, full to the Father, to the Son and to the Spirit, As the Scriptures declare, "The words of the Lord are pure, making wise the simple"—the teachable.

Woodson, formerly of West Virginia, a teacher in the M street High School, has returned from Harvard University, where he was awarded the degree of doctor of philosophy, an honor which has been won by only one other man of the race—Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois receiving the degree there in 1895. Prof. Woodson submitted a thesis on "The Disruption of Virginia," a study in the economic and constitutional history of that State from its beginning as a colony until it seceded in 1861. He made an exhaustive inquiry into the peculiar geographic conditions in Virginia, the heterogeneity of its people and the influence of slavery as factors in causing the estrangement of what is now West Virginia from the other portion of the Old Dominion. WEST VA. SEMINARY AND COLLEGE Workmen are again busy on the New Seminary Building. We are to finish fourteen dormitory rooms and put the chapel and basement floors in shape for use by September 15, 1912. The finishing of a room complete, including floors, doors, windows, plastering walls and the work of the hallways, etc., will cost $40 each. Let all societies, churches and individuals that plan to finish a room and have their names put on the plates over the doors of same, send in their money to the Merchants' and Miners' Bank, of Oak Hill, to the credit of the W. Va. Seminary and College building fund. If you have not the $40 send what you can or have, and the rest later. All who send in as much as $40 will have a plate put above the door containing their names or the name of the society, church or individual, as they may wish. Please act promptly as the material must be paid for and the workmen must be paid. PRINCIPAL RING BATTLES OF JOHNSON AND FLYNN Johnson. Year. Rounds 1904 Sam McVey, K. O. 20 1904 Denver Ed Martin, K.

NOTES FROM THE LABOR WORLD The Cigar Makers' blue label was the first trade label ever used by any labor organization. Next year the Scottish trade union congress will be held at Dumfries and a large attendance is expected. The Brotherhood of Railway Car-met recently issued a charter for a local union at Sarnia, Ontario. The hod carriers and building laborers of Woodstock, Canada, organized recently and obtained a 2.1-cents an hour increase. The National Brotherhood of Oper-ative Potts will hold its annual convention at Atlantic City, N. J. during this month. The State Federation of Labor of Louisiana will shortly be reorganized and affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. The Canadian government by law proposes to restrict the working hours of the street railway men to six days of ten hours each. What is known as the uniform child labor law has been passed by both houses of the Arizona state legislature and been signed by the Governor. The International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Helpers has recently begun the organizing of ladies' auxiliaries, and is meeting with splendid success.

Two important decisions affecting labor were handed down recently by the Illinois supreme court. One decision upholds the constitutionality of the ten-hour law amendments limiting the hours of labor of women in hotels, restaurants and practictically all places where they are employed. The other upholds the right of men to strike rather than work with non-union employees. BAUER Published every Thursday by The Advocate Printing and Publishing Co., Inc.

A careful reading of the platform adopted by the Democrats assembled in the national convention at Baltimore, last week, fails to disclose any results accomplished by the conference held the day previous by the black and tan wing of the party Bishop Alexander Walters made much of what his following would be able to accomplish if they made a unified demand upon the Democratic leaders. Black Tammany was there in full force with circulars showing how well they fare at the pie counter in New York city. "Big Chief" Allen DeHouney, of this city, told them about the patronage he is able to dispense because of his Democratic affiliations, and William Jennings Bryan is reported to have assured them that their very reasonable request for a plank in the platform would be compiled with. Now that platform, as any one can see for himself, does not say a word about the Negro. There is nothing in it about disfranchisement or Jim Crow cars. It did not even go so far as the milk and water declaration of the Chicago convention. The question naturally follows, then, what was accomplished by the conference? If seems passing strange that with all their progressive notions the Democratic platform makers should have ignored, after their attention was called to them, vital questions affecting one-tenth of the population of the country. They might have said just one little word, just enough to save the faces of their black henchmen some of whom had come from as far away as Oklahoma. As the matter now stands, the Negro Democrat will find themselves hard put, during the campaign, to find arguments which will influence a thinking member of their race to vote for Wilson and Marshall. Absolutely ignored themselves, it will be with rather poor grace that they will attempt to convince others to risk the same treatment. WHY NOT ON BOTH? The Advocate does not subscribe to the belief entertained by some of its contemporaries that a third party in West Virginia would encompass the defeat of the Republican state ticket. On the contrary, it believes that it would be a distinct help for a situation which appears anything but reassuring from the present outlook. It is needless to say that West Virginia is a progressive Republican state. The convention held at Huntington the 16th of last May showed that beyond the shadow of a doubt. It is equally certain that many of those who followed the standard of Col. Roosevelt—and they were two-thirds of the Republican voters—do not endorse the jobbey by which his defeat was encompassed nor will they set their seal of approval upon the beneficiaries of the crime. All these malecontents will not be sufficiently discriminating to confine their ill will to the Regular Republican presidential electors, but will scratch the whole ticket. This being the case, would it not be better, granting that a third ticket will be in the field, to place the state ticket on both the regular and progressive tickets? In this way—a method that will be adopted in many other states—both factions of the party would be satisfied and the state ticket which is satisfactory to all would come in for the whole Repub-Lean vote. Maybe Jack Johnson is not the man he was when he fought Jim Jeffries, two years ago, but at that he was too much for the latest "white hope." The case with which Luene Debs gets nominated creates the suspicion that the Socialist party is developing steam-roller tendencies. Looking upon the Chicago convention, China may regret her haste in fashioning her republic after ours. Perhaps Taft had 'em select Sherman as his running mate again because he felt the need of as much sunshing as possible. The opposition pretends to think that the third party movement is a joke, but the seriousness with which they are taking it leads to the belief that the wish is father of the thought. Six Have Finished New Building- Says July Crisis, and Several Chang's Have Been Made in Teach- ing Force. Reports to The Crisis from twenty colored institutions of higher training reveal some interesting facts. They represent $4,997,800 worth of property and land, but they have only $1,644,000 in invested endowment. In these colleges there were last year 991 students of full college rank, and of these 163 graduated in June with the bachelor's degree. Six of the colleges have finished new buildings during the year; the new engineering building at Howard which cost $23,000; the new Hubbard Hospital at Walden cost $45,000; at Atlanta Baptist College a chapel and office building, costing $40,000; a dormitory at $28,000 and a dining hall at $14,000 at the State College of South Carolina, and a small administration building at Hartshorn. Lincoln has a newly endowed professorship of physics, and has been recognized as an accredited college by the State of Pennsylvania. Talladge has a new professor of social extension work; Benedict, a new president; while Mr. B. G. Brawley leaves the chair of English at Howard to become dean of Atlanta Baptist College. After all, our interest in these institutions is personal and centers most in the student body. We have asked all these colleges to send us the photographs of the ranking scholars of their graduating college class. The result is the group of faces looking out on the reader from these pages; strong, bright young folks who have demanded the light and received it in spite of the opinion of President Taft. Here are the "spoiled plow hands" of Southern tradition and the top-heavy "educated-out-of-their-place" youth of newspaperdom! As a matter of fact here are a group of healthy, bright-eyed, clear-brained young folk of Negro descent, who are going to make the cheating, lynching and oppression of black folk more difficult in the future than in the past. Hue illae lacrimae! These are the leaders who in scholarship head the colored college host: David, of Wilberforce; Latson, of Atlanta Baptist College; Dotglass, of Lane; Rice and Miss Bothwell, of Atlanta University; Jessell and Miss Hamilten, of Talladega; Sampson, of Virginia Union; Berry, of Lincoln; Bond and Miss Jones, of Knoxville; Lovette and Miss R. Jones, of Fisk. We add Edith Louise Wright, who is valedictorian in the West High School for 100 classmates, all white, and Isabella Vandervall, who gained the $50 freshman prize at the New York Medical College. If the photographs had arrived in time, we should have added to these Miss Brown, of Morgan; Miss Floyd, of Spelman; Pinson and Miss Thomas,' of Benedict; Miss Gray, of Paine, and several others. Besides the twenty colleges mentioned above, there are twelve other institutions that give college training to colored students, making thirty-two in all, enrolling 1,200 students. In former days the argument against such students and such training was that colored people could not assimilate such training. That argument has passed, but in its place is a widespread belief that tugre is no "demand" for such persons, and that they are unable to earn a living. There have been, in the years 1823-1912, over 5,000 Negroes graduated from college. Returns for a thousand living graduates indicate the following occupations: As teachers the college-bred Negroa have made the Negro industrial school possible. Tuskegee is directed by team in nearly all positions of importance, from the wife of the principal (Fisk, '80) down. At Hampton, Calhoun, Kowaliga, and a score of other schools, the colored college man has given invaluable service. As leaders in social uplift the Negro collegians have been especially valuable. Why, then, are they the object of so much criticism and inundo? Apparently because white Americans fear them. We do not fear Negro criminals—rather we encourage them. We do not fear ignorance—we invite it. But trained knowledge and efficiency in this subject race is instinctively dreaded by a large number of people. President Taft said yesterday at Hampton: "Although education along scientific lines is useful, vocational education for the Negro is better, for the present at least," but "vocation" is a large word. What vocations does the President have in mind? The vocation of citizen, voter, holder of public opinion? Probably not. He is thinking with the Memphis News Scimitar, which says: "Higher education fads finds no place in the curriculum of the Mema- phis High School for Negroes. The whole policy is to train the Negro youths of both sexes in occupations which the South has accorded almost entirely to the race." In other words, the principal vocation in mind is that of general mudsill to society—dumb, faithful, disfranchised and cheap. If this is not what is meant then let young people like those pictured on these pages have a chance for such higher and fuller self-development as will enable them to compete with modern men under modern conditions. It is fair to educate a race of seullions and then complain of their lack of proven ability? Notes on Racial A colored delegate, by name Pegg, city sealer of weights and measures of Omaha, Nebraska, was unanimously elected sergeant-at-arms of the Seventh Annual Conference of Weights and Measures of the United States, which took place recently at the Hotel Raleigh, Washington, D. C. The Atlas Electric Company of Montgomery, Alabama, enjoys a large patronage from both white and colored in the city. The firm is composed of young men, George Cromwell, a recent graduate of Tuskegee Institute, Alphonso Johnson, ex-student of the same school, and L. A. Gilmer. Another recent financial institution added to the fifty odd banks already in successful operation among the Negroes of this country is the Lincoln State Savings Bank, corner of 31st and State streets, Chicago, Ill. It flung open its doors for business the morning of May 6th under very favor. Perhaps the largest drug store owned by colored men in the United States is the one in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the proprietors of which are Messrs. Allen and Wickliffe. They are engaged in a wholesale as well as a retail business, operating upon a capital of about $20,000. The drug store is located in The James Building worth about $15,000 and owned by a colored man of that name. Mr. M. C. Bird emigrated to Lawrence, Kansas, from North Carolina about twenty years ago. Being a tanner by trade, he continued that calling in his adopted home. His business, during these years, has so increased that he, perhaps, now is the owner of the largest robe and rug tannery in the West. The establishment and equipment are worth fully $20,000. Mr. Bird does some of the finest and costliest work of the kind in his line of business. Two young men born in Texas but bred in California, have invented an electric device for controlling traffic in conjected districts. The invention looks like a four-sided semaphore. It is electrically operated and obviates the necessity of the crossing policeman standing in the middle of the street. Instead, he may stand on any one of the corners and by pressing a button, sound a signal and change the signs. The inventors are C. R. Bailey and W. O. Warren. G. W. Franklin, 610 Chestnut Street. Chattanooga, president of the National Funeral Directors Association, the first of the group to be affiliated with the National Negro Business League, is one of the most successful undertakers in the country. He has an ample outfit of every equipment necessary in his line. Lis hearses numbering three, landaus and other vehicles fifteen, and ten or twelve head of horses, etc., and is estimated to be worth at least $20,000. In addition to his undertaking establishment, Mr Franklin owns valuable city property and two farms, aggregating $30,000. Henry Johnson, a prosperous farmer of Carroll County, Tennessee, has successfully demonstrated what thrift and constant attention to work will do for any member of the race. He is the proud owner of 1,700 acres of fettle land, which he has divided into seventeen farms and cultivated by his tenants whose chief crop is cotton. Mr. John-on frequently has in operation at one time thirty-four plows on his land. He has his own blacksmith shop, hay-balers, feed-crushers and sorghum mills. Men of Mr. Johnson's type are always in a position to command the respect and recognition of their neighbors, both white and colored. The Anniston, Alabama, Buggy and Wigon Company, proprietors Messrs. L. A. Banks and R. R. Bright, graduates of Tuskegee Institute, has been doing business for over ten years. The location and building are worth $5,000. The yearly volume of business amounts to $2,000. J. C. Cook an ex-student has been the chief engineer of the Atlantic Compress Company of the same place for eight years. Through his faithfulness and skill he has worked himself up to the place, where he THE ADVOCATE The United Garage Company, capitalized at $15,000, is the name of a new corporation which has recently been organized in Boston. Its object is to build, maintain and lease buildings for the storage and keeping and repairing automobiles and other motor vehicles, also to sell and operate the same. A tract of land 6,000 square feet has been purchased on Minon street, Buck Bay, at a cost of $6,000, on which to put the necessary buildings of the plant. Jesse Goode, of Goode, Denison and Henry Company, the wholesale and retail grocery firm of the South End, is the president; and James R. Jones, one of the few colored men to own motor trucks, is the treasurer. The Muskogee Fruit and Bottling Company, capitalized at $5,000 is one of the largest manufacturers of different kinds of soft drinks conducted by Negroes in the Southwest. They make fourteen different kinds of soda drinks; and during the three years the firm has been in business they have been uniformly successful under the management of Mr. J. F. Burton. Chicasha, Oklahoma, has in the neighborhood of 2,500 Negroes. They have two barber shops, five restaurants, a shoe shop, three commodious rooming houses and first-class fraternal building owned by the Masons, Pythians and Odd Fellows. The colored people are employed largely in the compress by the Rock Island Railway Company, and in many other industries in the city. Hopkinsville, Kentucky, can boast of a live, hustling set of business and professional men. There are five groceries in the city. J. R. Hawkins and Company, with about twenty-five years of experience do the largest business amounting to perhaps $30,000 a year; three coal yards about three years old; one blacksmith shop of twelve years; three doctors and one dentist with a splendid practice; one drug store; one jeweler; E. W. Glass, who does a good business; one millinery store with a fair patronage; one stone cutter and contractor; H. S. Smith who has superintended some of the costliest jobs in the city, viz., the foundation under the finest bank in Western Kentucky, The First National of the city, the foundation under the city high school, which will cost $85,000 when completed; four undertaking establishments, which practically handle all the colored business in their line, Messrs. E. W. Glass, Tyler and Tyler; four lawyers; four city letter carriers, and a wide-awake Local Negro Business League at the head of which is Mr. E. G. Lamb. CALORICS AND CRIME. Effect of Hot Weather on Crime Puzzle to Psychologists. (From the Richmond Virginian.) Psychologists have long wondered at the apparent relation between hot weather and crime. Ancients would probably have said that the blood was overheated; that the bile was disturbed; that the stars spelled battle, and murder, and fire and brimstone, so that a helpless humanity had nothing to do save to respond. Whatever the scientific reason, the fact seems to remain. No one ever knew of a cold wave and a crime wave to coincide. It is always when the mercury climbs that crime statistics climb also. There seems to be a strange affinity between lawlessness and calories, and this despite the fact that there is nothing more heating than playing tag with the police. Richmond's Monday docket, coming on the heels of the first really ardent days of the summer, was composed of ninety-nine offenders. There was an illuminating catholicity about the charges. They ranged from felony to a mere dogged refusal to "move on," when the blue-coat gave the order. They included broils, thefts, drunkenness, disorderly conduct of practically every description. Almost every man who had it in him to get into trouble apparently mopped his brow and started for it on the run. After all, the real explanation is that the longer the mercury grows in the tube, the shorter grows the human temper. A vast irritation settles down upon people who strike out blindly at a condition that cannot be relieved. Hot weather is bad enough. When there is added to the physical discomfort the added prod of some officer of the law, some suggestion of restraint, a hysterical impatience makes a sort of hot-weather defiance which is like the blowing off of a safety valve. We wonder, too, how far the crawling sensation of heat operates to fray the tempers of the police. Very uncomfortable they look and very "touchous." What would in cool weather call for a word of admonition, in hot may mean an arrest. A cooling shower would do more to put the disorderly population back into peace and amity with the law than all the sermons any one can preach, or all the arrests the police as a whole can make.

Deprived of $40,000,000 Estate by Court for Five Years. (From the New York World.) A woman who inherited a fortune estimated as high as $40,000,000, and began to spend it in such manner as to gain a reputation as "the most extravagant woman in New York," is abgout to have her estate stored to her by the courts which five years ago deprived her of it. Extravagance is merely excess, and doubtless there are women on income of $1,000 who are as open THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1912. to the charge as others with incomes of $1,000,000. But taking the word in its general sense, a woman who can really deserve to be called the most extravagant of her sex in the world's most extravagant city is entitled to a unique distinction. To win it she must meet the competition of steel kings' wives, comic opera prima donnas and the widows or other women folk or minnepromoters, traction magnates and wheat operators. Being extravagant in terms of millions is not the easy thing it may appear, least of all for women. Cleopatra, who dissolved the pearl in vinegar, possessed the art, and some of the women of ancient Rome and of Versailles knew it. But to most mortals it would be a difficult matter to squander a million a year on purely personal indulgence. Can the woman who sailed that " $200 a day / is not too much for spending money" be thought to possess the genius necessary for real extravagance? That would amount to less than $75,000 a year relatively a pittance to women whose larger incomes allow them to spend far more in the economical gratification of their whims. The Animal in Him.

C., July 2.—Sir Charles Tupper, who has made his home with his sons in this city since the death of his wife last spring, quietly observed his ninety-first birthday anniversary today.

Ohio's Coal Output for 1911 Valued at $31,000,000. The production of coal in Ohio in 1911, according to figures compiled by E. W. Parker and just made public by the United States Geological Survey, was 30,759,986 short tons, valued at $31,810,123. The conditions affecting the coal-mining industry of Ohio in 1911 were in marked contrast to those prevailing in 1910. In 1910, although the influence of the Illinois strike extended to the Ohio mines, and 24,746 men were idle for an average of 54 days on that account, there was increased activity when mining was resumed and large quantities of Ohio coal were shipped to the markets usually supplied by Illinois and Indiana fuel, so that the products of the State rose to the high-water mark of 34,209,668 short tons. In 1911 the production fell off 10 per cent. The smaller tonnage was in excess of market requirements, however, as is evinced by a decrease in total value of 11.5 per cent, and by a decline in the average price per ton from $1.05 to $1.03. Production decreased in 19 counties and increased in 8. There were 9,530 men on strikio at one time or another during 1911, the average time last being 37 days. Largely Machine Mined. Largely Machine Mined. The supremacy of Ohio in the percentage of the total production mined by machines was not only maintained but advanced by the record of 1911. The total quantity of coal mined by machines was less than in 1910, but the decrease in the production of machine-mined coal was not as great as the decrease in the total production of the State and the number of machines in use increased from 1,452 in 1910 to 1,536 in 1911. The quantity of machine-mined coal decreased from 28,887,241 short tons in 1910 to 26,556,630 tons in 1911, but the percentage of machine-mined tonage in the total increased from 84.44 to 86.5. The small quantity of coal shot from the solid within the State—857,234 tons, or less than 3 per cent of the total output—also bears tribute to he combined good work of he mineinspection service and the mine workers. Boston, Mass., July 6—The famous Russell will case is due for another airing in the courts at East Cambridge next week, but owing to the summer vacation season it is thought likely an adjournment of the trial until fall will be agreed upon when the case is called on Monday. In the former trial, which was one of the largest in the history of the Massachusetts courts, the claimant known as "Dakota Dan" was unsuccessful in his efforts to secure a share of the Daniel Russell estate. The new suit was instituted by the North Dakota claimant to establish his identity as the son of Daniel Russell. If successful in establishing his identity as the son of Daniel Russell, the claimant naturally would renew his efforts to secure a share of the Russell fortune. MINOR LEAGUE CHANGES.
