DELIGHTFUL RIDE ALONG THE HUDSON RIVER, WHICH RUN HAWK VALLEY. NUMEROUS EVIDENCES OF SUBS OF MANY AFRO-AMERICANS BALTIMORE, MD., WASHINGTO YORK CITY AND OTHER EAST On Thursday morning, March 13, we started out bright and early to do the most important business part of New York City in short order and the first stop we made was to call on Mr. Wesley L. Young, 47 West 42nd St. He is deputy superintendent of state elections for the state of New York and he holds one of the most responsible positions of any Colored man in that state. It had been our pleasure to meet Mr. and Mrs. Young in Washington, D. C., as he is a member of the National Colored Democratic League and also a member of its new steering committee and as Mr. and Mrs. Young reside in a fine home in Brooklyn, they had extended an invitation to us to be their guest during our visit to Greater New York, and he chided us quite strongly because we had failed to accept of their hospitality and he would not let up on us and smiled and caused Ralph Langston and all three of us to smile until we promised him that we would gladly stop at his home on our next visit to New York City. N. B. Dodson, Editor of the Afro-American page for the American Press Association, 225 West 39th Street, was the next to be called on by us. He willingly extended the right hand of fellowship to us. He has been with the American Press Association for about four years and its head officials are well pleased with his editorial work. Near noon, we called on Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois, Editor of The Crisis, 26 Vesey Street; and had a pleasant chatt with him. He heartily thanked us in person, for publishing in full his speech delivered at Orchestra Hall, this city, at the Abraham Lincoln celebration February 12. As The Broad Ax was the only paper in this city to pay him that high compliment which he seemed to highly appreciate. Thursday afternoon we made a rapid tour of the down town business district and while walking along on Wall Street we ran right into the great banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co., 23 Wall Street. Its building will not begin to compare with the First National Bank building in this city, but we were informed that before the death of its late founder that J. P. Morgan & Co. will right on its present site construct the greatest banking house in the world. One of the many interesting sights near the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co. is the one story light brown stone building in which President George Washington and the Continental Congress held forth in 1789, and we were forced to pause for a few moments and gaze upon that interesting and history-making relic of bygone days, which still stands right in the center of the greatest financial district in the world. The streets in the financial district are much narrower and many of the buildings much taller than they are in the business or financial district of Chicago. One gentleman whom we desired to call on had his office on the 35th floor HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY of the City Investing Building, 165 Broadway, and on stepping into the elevator, it shot up to the 31st floor without stopping, then its conductor requested us to get out and take another elevator on up to the top floor, the 35th floor. It felt so nice in going up so high towards the heavens, that on landing to the earth again we entered one of the twenty-five or thirty elevators in the Woolworth Building, which is the highest office building in the world, consisting of 55 stories and it is 750 feet high from such a high elevation it is no trouble for anyone to obtain a splendid view of Greater New York, in every direction. Old Trinity Church still stands at the head of Wall Street, and many of the oldest and wealthiest families in that city still worship in it and their beloved dead sleep the long sleep of death under the sod which surrounds it, and after the many years which have rolled on into eternity since its construction it still commands the respect and admiration of the vast majority of the visitors to that great city which contains more than four million people within its walls. Later on, on Thursday afternoon and in the early part of the evening we spent some time in hanging around Fifth Avenue and the most fashionable parts of Broadway, for the sole purpose of endeavoring to detect any difference between the general run of the people in that city and the general run of the people in Chicago, and after standing and watching them for some time carefully noting their general conduct and outward appearance we were forced to the conclusion that the vast majority of the best and the leading men and women in that city do not dress one whit better nor walk any faster than the same class of people do right here in Chicago. On Friday morning, March 14, when we walked into the new Grand Centraf Terminal station, West 42nd Street near Broadway, which is not quite completed yet and when it is finished it will be just as fine as the new Pennsylvania Station mentioned in these columns last week except that it will not be as large. At a few minutes before eight o'clock we were a fraction less than one thousand miles from home, and as we had faithfully promised our good and dutiful wife, Mrs Taylor, that we would arrive home without fail either on the 14th or 15th of March, but we were unable to see how we could do it and at the same time stop at Albany, N. Y., for the express purpose of paying our respects to Governor and Mrs. William Sulzer. After we had explained our troubles to one of the gentlemanly ticket agents, he wanted to know how long we desired to stop at Albany. We informed him that one, two or three hours would suit us; that we were not bothered about seeing anything else in Albany outside of Governor Sulzer. Then he began to do a little figuring [Name] One of the newly selected members of the Board of Education; prominent and successful business man and popular citizen. The first of this week, Robert J. Roulston was selected by Mayor Carter H. Harrison and confirmed by the city council, as one of the three new members of the Board of Education. For the past eight or nine years, Mr. Roulston has been a member of the Chicago Public Library Board, serving as its president for three terms in succession, thereby breaking all past records in this respect. As its president he extended the usefulness of the library far beyond its former bounds, making it possible for people residing in all parts of this great city to secure books without much trouble and without much red tape. Mr. Roulston successfully pushed through the construction of the Hiram Kelley branch of the public library, which is located in the southwest section of the city, and which will always stand as a monument, not only to its donor, but also to Mr. Roulston, who labored night and day for its success and minute construction in every way. Mr. Roulston has been a resident of this city since 1872, coming here from Bath, N. Y., where he first saw the light of day. Shortly after locating here in a very humble capacity, he began to labor for McNeil, Higgins & Co., the big wholesale grocers, corner State and South Water Streets, and by proving himself to be possessed of a lot of good common horse sense, and full of good sound business ideas, he was advanced from time to time to important positions, until 1888, at which time he was admitted into full partnership in the firm and from that time to the present, he has been one of its most active members. Mr. Roulston has been happily married for many years, and resides with his interesting family, at 436 W. 61st Place. He numbers his friends by the thousands in this city and in all parts of the country. From September 1, 1899, down to the present time, Mr. Roulston has been a subscriber to The Broad Ax. It finds its way to his home once each week, and we are proud of the fact that he is one of our warmest friends. and finally he said: "If you can put up four dollars extra above your regular first class fare from New York to Chicago, as an evidence of good faith that you will buy a sleeping car ticket at Albany, to Chicago, I can sell you a ticket which will permit you to ride from New York to Albany on the Empire State Express, which will leave the station here at 8:30 o'clock, arriving at Albany at 11:20, where you can remain until 4:00 o'clock that evening. Then you can take No. 9, which is another fast train, composed of nothing but parlor and sleeping cars and no room on it for common passengers, and that train will land you in Chicago Saturday morning, March 15, at 11:50." Before he had scarcely uttered the last words, we exclaimed: "My Lord, man, that is just what we are looking for. Lay down your ticket and we will come across with the money." The Empire State Express, which is the fastest and the finest train running on the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, started on a dead run out of the Grand Central station at 8:30 o'clock, and it never slackened its speed for one minute nor stopped for anything until it pulled into the Union Station at Albany, N. Y., at 11:20 o'clock, almost one hundred fifty miles away from its starting point. It was a most delightful ride, along the picturesque and far famed Hudson River, which runs through the beautiful Mohawk Valley, and in the summer time, when all nature is budding, and the flowers are blooming forth in their beauty and grandure, it is one of the most enchanting valleys to traverse through in America! this city since 1872, coming here from Bath, N.

It finds its way to his home once each week, and we are proud of the fact that he is one of our warmest friends. It did not take us long after arriving in Albany, to find our way to the state capitol, which stands on a very high elevation, overlooking the city and the beautiful valley and the meadows reposing peacefully below it. On entering it we were ushered right into the room occupied by Governor Sulzer. It is a large room, fully 50x40 feet in size. His flat top desk sits on the east side of it near a large window and one extra chair stands by its side for those to occupy who have any business to transact with him. He has no private office or room in which to hide himself away from the public. When it came our turn to approach near unto him, he reached out his hand and let it be known that he needed no introduction to Mr. Taylor, and the same time exclaiming: "How are you, Julius? I am more than glad to see you." After we had warmly exchanged greetings, he wanted to know if we had received the last letter he had sent us. We responded no, sir, as we had been away from home for more than two weeks, but that we presumed it was at home awaiting our arrival. Then the plain Jeffersonian Democrat, who stands to the common people, with a kindly wave of his hand, invited us to take a seat, as he wanted to have a pleasant chat with us just as soon as he could find a little time to do so. We remained in the room not far from him from near 12 o'clock until near 2 o'clock watching him running the affairs of the great state of New York, and coming in close contact with its leading politicians and statesmen and the easy man- (Continued on page 2) Governor William Sulzer of the Empire State Freely Signed THE NEW CIVIL RIGHTS BILL WHICH IS THE MOST SWEEPING MEASURE OF ITS KIND TO BE ENACTED BY ANY LEGISLATURE, DEMOCRATIC OR REPUBLICAN, IN ANY STATE OF THE UNION. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE BROAD AX BY CHESTER C. PLATT, SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNOR. THE NEW LAW BECOMES EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1, 1913. On Tuesday, April 15, Governor William Sulzer, of New York, freely and cheerfully signed the newly amended Civil Rights Law, which was enacted by both branches of the legislature of that state recently and exclusively referred to in the columns of The Broad Ax, several weeks ago. After its passage and just as soon as it could be reprinted, it was as stated before, signed by Governor Sulzer, a copy of it was dispatched, post haste to us, and a telegram from Chester C. Platt, Secretary to the Governor, which read as follows: "Albany, N. Y., April 15, 1913. Julius F. Taylor, 5027 Armour Avenue, Chicago, Ill.

TAYLOR FROM NEW YORK TO ALBANY. ner or the way in which he handled them proved to our mind that he is a natural born leader of men. Near the last hour mentioned the governor called out Mr. Taylor, indicating that he wanted us to come forward and occupy the seat near his desk and after doing so he stated that he was pleased to see us looking so well. We returned the compliment and just as he was getting ready to settle down for a good talk one of the assistant secretaries brought him a batch of bills to sign, while another assistant secretary at the same time handed him a number of telegrams congratulating him on his eloquent oration delivered the night before in that city at the Home Rule Conference, which appeared in these columns Saturday, March 15. He handed the telegrams to us to read while he was engaged in signing the bills. Each and every one who sent them wished him God speed in his fight for the rights of the common people. One was from Mr. George Foster Peabody, a leading banker of New York City, Ex-treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, one of the Trustees of the Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Washington's school, and a friend of the Colored people. To make a long story short in taking our leave from Governor and Mrs. Sulzer, who is a very admirable lady in every way, who is highly qualified to gracefully discharge all the social duties as the first lady of the first stage in the union, whom we first had the honor of meeting at the Denver convention in 1908, the governor warmly grasped us by the hand, and looking us square in the eyes, declared in a firm voice: "Keep in touch with me, Mr. Taylor; you know I am your friend!" We simply responded: "We know that, governor." Shortly after that or at four o'clock the fast train, No. 9, pulled out of Albany, speeding on its way to Chicago, with the writer on board making the home run of an almost two thousand mile tour through the east. (The End.) HEALTH NOTES How about those fly screens? Have you looked them over and got them all ready to install before the flies invade your home? If not, get busy now. Was your home aired out this morning? If not, why? Whose fault was it that this important matter was neglected? Why not open the windows and let the air and sunshine in? Do it now. Before vaccination was discovered and applied, smallpox killed 60,000 people in England. In that country to-day there are fewer deaths from smallpox than from any other communicable disease. On Monday coming the fifth of May, Chicago will have a "Clean Up Day," Please don't make it just a streak, But keep it up for all the week; And why not make the plan "a hum- mer" By cleaning up all through the sum- mer! Don't forget that the approach of fly time is also the coming of the planting season. City gardening is a healthful, pleasant and profitable pastime. If you have never tried it, you will be surprised and delighted at the results you will be able to get from a part even, of a small city lot. Try planting some of the old-fashioned flowers, set out a rose-bush or two, and if you have the space to spare plant a few garden vegetables, such as radishes, lettuce, onions, etc. You will enjoy having them fresh on your table. No better disposition of back yards than to plant them to flowers and vegetables and thus turn them into places of use and beauty. One of the amazing things is the tardiness with which people will put into practice knowledge that they will readily admit cannot but be of great benefit to them. An example of this is found in a study of the effects of the preaching and teaching as to the value of fresh air that have been carried on for years, not only in this country, but in other countries as well. A ride along any of Chicago's resident streets, even in mild weather, will show the careful observer that the windows in most of the dwellings are closed both top and bottom. Here and there at rare intervals a home will be noticed where the windows are open and in which the inmates are alive to the importance and value of a fresh air supply. The other day a representative of the Department of Health noted on certain resident streets 349 houses and flats; of these the windows in 273 were tightly closed; in 76 two or more windows were noted as being open; and 25 of these were open ten inches or more; 50 being raised but a few inches; only 8 windows were open at the top and bottom. Not a very good showing it must be admitted; especially when on the day the observations were made, the weather was mild and the sun shining. It should be explained that the streets on which the notations were made were all in good resident districts, the residences being mostly two and three story flat buildings with a small percentage of houses. The studies made serve to show pretty clearly that while Chicago people may know the value of fresh air as a factor in promoting physical health and vigor, they are still mighty careless or indifferent about taking even a little bit of trouble to admit it into their homes. REGISTRATION OF TUBERCULOSIS CASES INADAPTATE Registration and reporting of living cases of tuberculosis, in a manner similar to the reporting of other infectious diseases, is now required by state law or regulation of boards of health in 33 states and territories out of 53. Five years ago only 14 states had legislation on this subject. The increase is looked upon as a sign of marked progress in the anti-tuberculosis movement by The "National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which issues a bulletin on this subject to-day. Based on figures obtained from cases of tuberculosis reported in Cleveland, New York, and other cities where thorough registration is employed, it is estimated that for every death from consumption in the United States, of which there are on an average 200,000 annually, there are constantly more than five living cases, making at least 1,000,000 in all. Of this million cases, it is estimated that the health authorities have records of not more than 100,000 to 150,000, or one in every eight or ten, and that, for the great majority of cases recorded, no hospital, home, or dispensary care is provided. Practically nothing can be done to control the spread of tuberculosis in the unreported cases. Of the 33 states where reporting of cases is required, adequate or reasonably complete records are kept in not more than eight. Twenty states and territories have no laws or regulations requiring the reporting of tuberculosis and in most of these states consumption is not classified officially by the health authorities as a communicable, infectious disease. These states are, Arizona, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Philippine Islands, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Special laws requiring reporting and registration of tuberculosis have been passed in Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. In twenty other states, tuberculosis is included in the lists of infectious diseases that must be reported by physicians. In concluding its bulletin, The National Association says: "Reporting of living cases of tuberculosis to the local and state health authorities is the first requisite in any adequate campaign to control the disease. No efforts to prevent the spread of consumption can be successful until the actual living cases are both known and properly cared for." THE FIFTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. A number of Chicagoans who are interested in the race problem will attend the fifth annual conference, to be held in Philadelphia the last of this month, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Last year's conference was held in Chicago and drew a large attendance of both white and Colored students of the race question. This year's gathering will be held under the auspices of a committee of fifty well-known Philadelohians, headed by Mayor Blanken- burg. The conference will be officially opened by Mayor Blankenburg on the evening of April 23d. Moorfield Storey, of Boston, national president of the organization will preside, and addresses will be made by James Bryce, British Ambassador to the United States; Oswald Garrison Villard; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois of New York, Rabbi Joseph Krauskoff, and others. The sessions will last for three days. On April 24th, the afternoon session will be devoted to "The Colored Man's Struggle for Land and Property." The speakers will be Henry Wilber, the millionaire philanthropist of Philadelphia, who will tell of the land problem in the south; John Mitchell, president of the Mechanics Bank of Richmond, Va., the strongest financial institution in the city of Richmond; John Hope, president of the Atlanta Baptist College, who will speak on the recent crises in Northern Georgia; and W. Ashbie Hawkins, a Baltimore Attorney. The subject for discussion at the evening session will be "The Problem of Work and Wages." Bishop J. L. Coppin will preside. The speakers will be Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the "Crisis," a New York publication devoted to the advancement of the Colored people; and Dr. Haynes of Fisk University. The last day of the conference, April 25th, will have three sessions. The morning will be largely taken up with the planning of work for the various branches of the organization, while the afternoon will be given over to speakers who will talk on the "New Southern Attitude." Among these are Mrs. Beverly Munford, Dr. James H. Dillard, F. D. Wetherford, Joseph C. Manning, Dr. M. C. B. Mason, and others. Moorfield Storey will preside. The evening session of the last conference will be utilized for a study of "the new abolition movement." Among the speakers will be Senator Moses E. Clapp, Albert E. Pillsbury, Judge Wendell P. Stafford, Rev. John Haynes Holmes, Mrs. W. A. Hunton and others. John E. Milholland of New York will preside. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the Colored men and women by securing them equality of opportunity, justice in the courts, and enjoyment of their rights as citizens. NEW HANDS AT THE HELM. COL-ORED ORPHAN CHILDREN FIND NEW FRIENDS. MRS. PHOEBE JONES TAKES CHARGE OF AMANDA SMITH HOME. A new administration of the well-known Amanda Smith Industrial Home for orphan and dependent Colored children has been inaugurated with the pledge of earnest support on the part of many old and new friends. Mr. Winston, Superintendent, has been succeeded by Mrs. Phoebe Jones of Bowling Green, Ky., who comes to the work prepared by many years of public school teaching and bearing high endorsements of ministers, teachers, and school board officials of Kentucky. Mrs. Winston, matron, has also resigned. Mrs. Jones has made strong friends for the new work, and has won new supporters for the school, by her unquestioned ability to do the work and her manifest fitness for the place. Equipped by a fine education and many years of experience with training children, she inspires hope on all sides, that this Home for children will enter on a new period of prosperity. The welfare of dependent Colored children is engaging the attention of many social welfare workers in Chicago. All recognize that something should be done to prepare a well equipped school for Colored children who suffer so many slights and so much imposition at the hands of quasi public institutions. Many realize that Amanda Smith Home could easily be made a most effective agency for good service along its chosen line of work, by the co-operation of those who are interested in the welfare of Colored children. The public generally should become interested in the welfare of orphan and dependent children who should find care, custody and training to fit them for lives of usefulness. We can not afford to neglect our own unfortunate little ones and we should lend a hand to agencies like Amanda Smith Home and help to establish at least one great public institution of this kind. Mrs. Jones deserves the friendly and sympathetic interest of all who are inclined to help dependent children to find a way to present protection and future betterment. She invites counsel and visitation to the Home at 147th Street which can be reached on the Illinois Central trains by an hour's ride, almost any hour of the day. The Board of Managers and Trustees commends Mrs. Jones and bespeaks for her administration of affairs, and the young people confided to her care and training, the cordial support of all friends of dependent Colored children. The Home is supported by charity from the public, and donations of food, fuel, clothing and money are thankfully received, publicly acknowledged and faithfully applied. Communications should be addressed to the Amanda Smith Industrial School, Harvey, Illinois. ST. MARK M. E. CHUBCH 50 WABASH AVE. Rev. J. W. Robinson. The weather last Sunday was beautiful and a nice congregation was in attendance. At the morning service our pastor preached from the text, Exodus 17:11: "And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hands, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand Amalek prevailed." Subject, "Holding up the prophet's hands." The sermon was a gospel message. At the close of the sermon the Stewards were invited to take the front seat. The rules were read to them and their duties explained. Rev. Higgins of St. Mary A. M. E. church preached in the evening from the subject, "Take up thy bed and walk." We enjoyed his sermon very much and we were glad to have him with us. Our pastor was at St. Mary. Sunday school continues to be interesting. The Lyceum 4 P. M. Address by Mr. D. P. Webster.

THE OLD POLKS DAY AT THE BETHEL LITERARY The Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People wishes to make grateful acknowledgment of the receipt of $250 from the Amateur Minstrel Club, being the net receipts of their Eastertainment. This magnificent donation is the largest of the many large ones we have received from this noble body of men. It not only shows the added zealousness of these public spirited gentlemen, but also the growing interest of an appreciative public to whom the home belongs. In connection permit me to say that Sunday, April 20th, will be Old Folks Day at the Bethel Literary. When through the kindness of President B. W. Fitts the entire collection will be donated to the home. We invite every one to come at 3:30 P. M. And by their presence and their mite aid in the rapidly growing interest in our struggling home.

D., Ph. D. No happier idea could have struck the Methodist ministers of Chicago than that which resulted in the inter-change of pulpits last Sabbath. In keeping with the plan Rev. D. P. Roberts, M. D., pastor of Bethel Church filled the pulp of the Institutional Church, while Dr. A. J. Carey went to Bethel. The sermon of Dr. Roberts was beautiful, instructive and well received. His theme was "God in everything" and clearly developed the thought that in art, in literature, in history, and in commerce God is in all and over all. At the evening service, Dr. J. R. Ramsom of Kansas City, Kan., preached a splendid sermon on the duties and responsibilities of church membership. Bishop H. B. Parks made a stirring appeal and Mr. B. J. Stovall, 5717 Wabash Ave., and Mr. T. W. Nance of 3808 S. Dearborn St. united with the church. Dr. A. D. C. Barnes led with a contribution of five dollars toward the relief fund which was taken for the flood-sufferers. To-morrow Dr. Carey will preach in the morning on the "Hidden Treasure" and at evening on "The Friend at Midnight." The congregation and membership are steadily increasing and all are enjoying the excellent sermons and delightful music.—"D." Mrs. I. V.

While in Springfield on Monday, R. W. Lacey, one of the big Odd Fellows of this city, entertained the writer at a nice dinner at the home of Mrs. Jessie W. Ballinger, $1103_{1/2}$ East Washington Street, and Mr. Lacey and his fine dinner were all right. Former United States Senator, John B. Henderson, Missouri, passed away last Sunday at Washington, D. C., where he was making his home, at the time of his death. He was a Virginian by birth and was the author of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. At that time he was a Union Democrat, serving as a Buchanan Presidential elector in 1856 and a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1860. Later on, he joined the Republican party, becoming one of its most prominent members, and was nominated on the Republican ticket for Governor of Missouri in 1872. He was chairman of the Republican National Convention, which nominated James G. Blaine, the Plumed Knight of Maine, for the President of the United States at the Chicago Convention in 1894. Queries.

Dr. Osler tells the following to illustrate the elasticity of the English language as used by the southern negro. One day there came to the clinic a negress with a broken jaw. The examining physician, intent on discovering the exact nature and extent of the injury, asked numerous questions. To all of them the negress returned evasive answers. Finally she admitted that she was "hit by a object." "Was it a large object or a small object?" asked the physician. "Tolle'by large." "Was it a hard object or a soft object?" "Tolle'by hard." "Was it coming rapidly or slowly?" "Tolle'by fast." Then, her patience exhausted, the negress turned to the physician. "To tell the truth, doctor, I was jest simply kick'd in the face by a gen'leman friend."—Everybody's. His Care. He has a board of yellow gold, A butter stands behind his chair, A valet waits his clothes to fold. To shave him and to brush his hair, He can afford to satisfy His every whim, and yet he's sad— Although he longs for cherry pie, He dare not eat it and be glad. His Care. A chauffeur drives him through the town, His wife is roaming Europe now. He has his portion of renown, Success has crowned his bulging brow, Six men keep track of all his cash, And when a bill is due they meet it. Behind him is a hash His doctors say he must not eat it. A diamond glistens in his shirt, He never quits his bed till ten. He never soils his hands with dirt, He will not have to work again. Yet he still lives, lives, lives. And daily he seems growing thinner. A thousand dollars he would give Could he digest a good boiled dinner. —Detroit Free Press. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS Mrs. Mary A.

The new five cent piece is a wonder, if not a joy. Mark especially the human head on the extraordinary beast god called a bison. And the Indian is too big for his frame. An ugly coin.—New York Sun: A few years ago a sad attempt was made to beautify our gold coins. Then came the celebrated Lincoln cent. Now we have the buffalo nickel. Whatever may be said of the art expressed by these pieces, they are more like medals, tokens, bangles, fobs or beer checks than money.-New York World. Automobile Runs. Paris newspapers are campaigning against reckless auto driving. It is said one cent of every dollar of American capital is now employed in the auto industry. An English firm has brought out a new luminous varnish for automobiles, which is said to render a car, without being fitted with lamps, visible for a long distance on a dark night. Automobiles for children are the latest French novelty. These are not the toys with which the American public is familiar, but real four miles an hour motor vehicles with a three-quarter horsepower engine. Political Quips. This would be a good time for the District of Columbia to take a census. —Providence Bulletin.

If women enter politics will their leaders be willing to wear slouch hats in order to get the common people on their side? —St. Louis Times. Curious how desperately men will strive for a public office and then complain when they get it that the salary is too low. —Nashville Democrat. German Gleanings. In Berlin they tip street car conductors. In Prussia a whole new knee joint has been successfully grafted. Illiteracy is practically banished in Prussia.

The Russian empire's population is estimated at 176,000,000. There are now over 100 women police officers in the United States. Seven per cent of the people of the United States have been divorced. Australia is irrigating more than 2,000,000 acres of grazing lands with artesian wells. San Francisco's 1915 world's fair is to have as one of its features a reproduction on a general scale of a mining camp in 1849. Facts From France. Paris is said to have 85,000 men and women criminals. Fish refuse, granulated to resemble cod roe, is being used in France to bait sardines, which rise to be caught in nets as it is spread upon the sea. The mayor of a village near Gard, France, vetoed a performance of "The Merry-Widow." He contended that it was an immoral play, since widows have no right to be merry. Sporting Notes. San Jose Motorcycle club wants the 1915 motorcycle convention. Detroit's new athletic club will be modeled after the Pittsburgh A. A. structure.

MASONIC ORDER GETS SETBACK Fate in Teas Has Gon- troversy Over Finances, OFFICERS MAKE STATEMENT Bee renee coer reomene: | | Sermerte Came at Time of Bank Failuree—"t Will Make Good,” Says Bluitt. Dallas, Tex.—'The most taiked of sub- Ject in Texus fraterual circles is the ‘$14,000 shortage in the Mosonic grand lode Much discussion of the subject has brought forth many uatrue state- ments William McDonald (Goose Neck Bulb, the secretary of the Texas jurisdiction of the Masons, gives in the carrent is- sue of the Masonic Quarterly, the offi cinl organ of the Texas jurisdiction, what purports to be the official version of the matter McDonald states that Dr. B. R. Blu- Itt, the grand treasurer, tendered bis resiguation to Grand Master J. W. Me- Kinney ou Oct. 5, 1012. after admit- ting a shortage of $13.397.26, which was afterward found to be $13,918.06; that on Dec. 30, 1912, the Oklahoma Bonding company. which was on Dr. Bluitt’s Lond for $25,000, was notified that the grand lodge. Free and Ac- cepted Masons of Texas, was holding that company responsible for the pay ment. As to the collection of the bond, Me- Donald says: “When the bond will be collected I don't know. I don't think a living man can answer that question.” Although McDonald and Dr. Bluitt bave for yeurs and years been close po- Utical, personal and fraternal friends, in speaking further of the shortage be says: “Few men can realize the ai- ‘guish and pain that it gives me. 1 can- not find it in ms heart to excuse or Justify the deliberate acts of Past Grand Treasurer Bluitt.” Stands High In Professional Life. Dr. Biuitt is the leading Negro physi- ian and surgeon in Texas. As the recognized head of the Biuitt sanita- rium he stands at the head of his pro- fession in this state. and his income is said to be proportionately larger than that of any other physician of color. He admits a shortaze. but explains that circumstances made it and gives ‘out the impression that it was created with the knowledze of the grand lodge officials. so it is alleged He states that he offered to make good the shortage and that he entered into an agreement with the grind lodge officials to repay the amount claimed’: that the grand master. J. Wo McKinney. deliberately broke the azreement History of Blvitt’s Cficie! Career. Dr. Bluitt's statewent is = follows: “It ts neediess for wwe to ety at this time that 1 rerer the unfortunate cir cumstances surrenuding my so called shortage as grunt teaver of the Free and Accepted Moysous of Texas. I have held this position since 1898, and each year since tint tiie wiy elec tion has been made mnacimous 1 have always accounted {or every cent ‘of the money that the 7.40) Musous of ‘Texas have intrusted to my care. “I have always taken # deep interest fn the race and have from time to time invested wy personal funds in stocks which were being fostered by laudable undertakings for the benetit of the race—namely, stocks of the Penny Savings bank. Dallas, and the Provi- dent Bank and Trost company of Fort Worth. both of which institutions fall- ed the early part of 1912. “Besides. 1 bad goue on personal securities of these banks to the extent of several thousand dollars. and upon the failure of these banks I was forced to pay off their citims in order to keep myself in good light before the people of Texas. [low well I have done that is known to all who are acquainted with my affairs in this city. Voluntarily Resigned 2s Treasurer. “It is true that on Oct. 5, 1912, I vol- untarily resicned as grand treasurer of the Free and Accepted Masons of Tex- as. The causes stated above and the fact that in July, 1912, the grand mas- ter made the following recommenda- tion to the grand lodge placed me in & position in which I was compelled to turn over at once all moneys due the grand lodge which had been sc- cumulated in various departments since, 1808. “The resolution reads as follows: “Resolved, That the Fraternal Bank and Trust company. Fort Worth. be made the depository for the grand lodge of the Free and Accepted Ma- sons of Texas and that the grand treasurer be required to deposit all moneys which be has or may have ip the said institution.” “It was knéwn throughout the juris- @iction that the grand treasurer was the sole custodian of all Masonic funds and that 2s partial compensation for'| his services he was expected to use| these funds as he saw fit since he was able to property /meet all claims pre- sented to him. Agreement With Grand Lodge Officers “When { offered my rexixvation I eo tered into an agreement with tbe crand ee ee owned, encumbered or unencuwbered, to secure the payment of the sald debt. even the rents frum thin property to be turned over to the grand lodge and applied op notes. 1 was also permit- ted in this agreement to deed the prop- erty to any person whomsoerer I de- sired. “The deeds were drawn and all papers Recessary to carry out my portion of the contract were made out. The grand secretary (McDonald) accepted the same in good fsith, and the grand master (J. W. McKinney) on a mere technicality would not comply with the contract. They therefore called ‘pon the Oklahoma Bonding company to make good. Reason For Present Predicament. “For the benefit of my friends and all who have known me I have this to say: I have no {ll will toward any man or Masons. The Masons of Texas will get thelr mones. every dollar of it, re- gardless of whether the bonding com- pany pays it or not. 1 promised to pay it when I resizned my office in October and offered them all the se- curity I bad, and all I ask now fs that they give me time and I will do the rest. “I know no such word as ‘fail.’ The crisis came at a time of bank fatlures. when persons whose notes I secured failed to pay. when funds tn my pos- session for fourteen years were with- Grawn. This is the reason for my so called shortage.” ALLEYS IN WASHINGTON. High Death Rate Among Alley Dwell- ‘ers Revealed In New Directory.

These alleys contain 3.337 dwelling houses and approximately 16.000 inhabitants. “Conversion into minor streets is the effective remedy for the larger alleys.

These tests enable us to sift out the things that represent real progress. And these tests make our experts the best judges in the world of range quality. Thus it's easy for us to specify how a perfect range must be built. This we do. In ordering our "Compos" each succeeding year. We order them of ten—the ten leading glove manufacturers.
