C., May 27.—With seething denunciation for the "marrow-minded whites" of Washington, a group of English laymen—all delegates to the world's Sunday school convention—aroused a Negro congregation in the Shiloh Baptist Church to the verge of hysteria last night, telling them they were treated in a manner to cause every Christian in the world to hang his head with shame. The speakers declared the act of the local committee in excluding their colored brethren from the parade was worse than un-Christian; that in England there was no race prejudice or race hatred, and that white and black alike were treated as equals before the law and the Lord. The addresses were all made by white men, with two exceptions, and in addition to the English speakers, two American delegates—W. N. Hartstoeh of Roslyn and Louis Stoiber of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn—spoke in vigorous opposition to the outbreak of "race prejudice" in the convention, and emphasized the difference between the treatment the Negro receives in the North and in the South. Zulu Delegate Offended. The clinax was reached when a Zulu delegate, the Rev John D. Dube, told the congregation he had broken bread with his British friends in London and New York restaurants, but had met with a consistent refusal to be served in Washington. He said both his British fellow-delegates and himself had been humiliated by their experiences here, which were entirely unexpected. "The best I can say for the Washington brothel," said A. L. Richards, of Nottinham, England. "is this: 'Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do.' The day will never come when I will fall to recognize any man who has accepted Christ, be he the very humblest and most abject, as my equal and my brother. "This unfortunate affair has cast a shadow over the convention, and I am here to say that the action of the local committee does not receive the indorsement of the British delegates. I believe in the progress of the Negro race. I believe that he will in Christ he saved, and that in the life beyond he will stand as our equal. Lords of London, made a brief plan for recognition of the Negro, and said their exclusion from the Friday Sunday school parade was a deplorable incident. In his country such an affair would be impossible, he said, because the Negro was a son of freedom, and was given every opportunity to reach his highest possibilities. Fix Blame on Local Men. Messes, Jennings, Whitton and Gillette, of Brighton, England, spoke in similar vein, saying the Negro has been Christianized, and that it was against all Christian principle to cherish race prejudice or race hatred. All the speakers emphasized the fact that the exclusion should not go forth to the world as the act of the sixth world's Sunday school convention, but that the Washington committee should be made to take the entire responsibility, day which later they heartily accepted. "This has been the saddest week of my the entire life," said the Rev. J. Milton Wal- The Chicago Defende Over City and Sing Song, "Praiseings Flow"—Rev. Moses H. Makes Active Part in His Race. FROM SUNDAY, SCHOOL, PARADE. and Nubians March Side by Side Christian Soldier." dron, pastor of the church. "The cause of Christianity among the Negroes of Washington has been given a fearful show. I am at a loss to understand how the moral act of the Washington committee was decided upon. When it is considered that the colored people of Washington have sent delegates to all the great conventions of this world-wide organization, that they have always been willing to work in harmony with their white brothers in any Christian work, the significance of that act becomes appalling. It is a horrible thing to contemplate under the wing of Christianity." The congregation packed the church and frequently interrupted the speakers with applause. Negroes Denounce Committee. Clearing the national Sunday school convention from all suspicion of "race prejudice" and placing all responsibility for the recent trouble on the local committee of arrangements, the Negro pastors of the city issued an open letter to the delegates yesterday. It relates to action taken by the Negro clergy at a meeting in the Walker Memorial Church, and contains the following statements: "It is the sense of this meeting that there does not appear to us from anything that has been done that there has been any discrimination against us on the part of the executive committee of the World's Sunday School Association. "The colored people of the District of Columbia have been discriminated against by the local committee of the world's Sunday school convention. "We herewith express to the executive committee our deep satisfaction that, as far as it does appear, it has at no time ignored the spirit and teachings of Jesus Christ in its efforts to bring together the races and nations of the world to further the cause of Christ among the peoples of the whole earth; and we are pained beyond expression that the local committee, made up of white Christians who belong to the same religious bodies as ourselves, should ignore the commands and example of their Lord and Master and ours, and have respect to persons' and ill-treat their brethren in the Lord on account of their race and color. "We are yours in the unwavering belief in the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of all men, the Messiahship of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the divinity of the Holy Spirit." "J. MILTON, WALDRON, Chairman: "A. C. GARDNER, Secretary: "D. E. WISEMAN, "E. S. WILLIAMS, "F. J. GRUME." Delegates Appl and Minister A sensational arraignment of the exclusion of the local Negro churches from the parade was made by the Rev. John Reid Shannon in the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday morning. The congregation largely composed of visiting delegates, disregardably all the conventional aspects of a church german by breaking into prolonged applause. "As one of the pastors of Washington," said Dr. Shannon. "I want from this Metropolitan pulpit to make vehement protest against the action of the local committee in excluding from last Friday's parade the colored delegates to the Sunday school convention. The action is unChristian. It is at war with the spirit of the gospel. It is most unfortunate that such a thing should take place in a world- wide Sunday school convention, that above all other gatherings should illustrate and exemplify Christ's doctrine of Christian brotherhood. Appease also greeted Dr. Shannon when he invigorated against the building of more battleships and dreadnoughts as a wild waste of the people's money. Fifteen delegates from Great Britain attended service in Plymouth Congregational Church, 17th and 14 streets northwest, and in brief remarks to the congregation declared they knew no color in the Lord Jesus. They expressed gratification that the race prejudice charge was purely local. Issue. Deplored by Many. Issue: Deplored by Many. "I am sure that in the name of the Christian Church, in the name of humanity, in the name of this world's Christian convention, representing and illustrating the progress of Christianity among all the races of the world, many deplore the faq that the plea of the local colored ministers and Sunday school workers that they be given a place in this procession representing the religious organizations and forces of the world was denied them. If this problem of the races is to be solved in peace, as I believe it will be, and to this end I willingly give my life, it must be through the united effort of the moral and religious elements of both races. "In the city of Atlanta, as the outcome of the riot, a 'cathedral of co-operation' has been formed, in which white and colored ministers now meet at stated periods of mutual prayer and consultation and cooperation, and the civic and moral uplift of all the people. 'This convention should in the same manner illustrate to all the world the fact that the cross of Christ is broad enough to shelter and redeem all peoples and also enforce the doctrine of the fatherhood of God and the essential brotherhood of man, which is to make the conquest of this whole world for Christ possible. "Is not some formal action possible that will give assurance to the colored churches and Sunday schools of America that this unfortunate affair is merely an incident and that it does not represent the spirit of the world's association?" DR. WESLEY Taken for Elder Thomas at Eighth Reriment Ball. Mr. Eddie Stroud, better known as "Busball." 3112 La Salle street, decided to attend the Eighth Regiment hall, so he says, "I passed by the drug store and got 10 cents' worth of chewing gum to chew, as I don't dance. Everything went well until I reached the hall and placed my money in the window for a ticket, when lo! there stood. I thought, Rev. Thomas of Ebenezer Church. Well, I almost dropped. I pulled my money back and started to walk away when a reporter for The Defender, who stood near, asked me what was the matter. I told him, "Why there's my pastor. Rev. Thomas." Then our reporter began to explain the reason and the wherefore, and the young man decided to try again, with a sheepish eye he says he was not satisfied until Tuesday when he saw the doctor enter his office at 31st and State streets. He thought if the doctor would shave it would save him a lot of inconvenience at the next Eighth Regiment hall. REV. MOSES H. JACKSON VISITS HIS DID COLLEGE. Rev. Moses H. Jackson, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, who will spend one month in the East, has gone to attend the commencement exercises of his former college. Lincoln, where he graduated twenty-five years ago. Before going he will attend the diabolical Sunday School convention in Washington and the Presbyterian convention in Atlantic City. Then he will go directly from ther to his alma mater, where he as well as Dr. George C. Hall, were graduated. GREAT LAKES LODGE ELECTS DELEGATES. After a stormy fight as to who's who, and what's what the Elks finally settled down to business and elected the following delegates to attend the convention in Washington the middle of July: Col. W. W. Johnson, Dr. M. R. Bibb, I. W. Warden, Sherman Blackwell and John Powers. This seems to be a strong aggregation and ought to make good. EUGENE F. MANNS, THAT'S ALL. What manner of man is Mr. Eugene F. Manns? Even the man with the hammer falls a victim to his vicious onslaught. Mr. Hammer, who for years, controlled the vacant lot on State street between the Mecca flats and 33d street, was much surprised on Monday morning when Mr. Eugene Manns began to knock down the fence where he kept his horses. Mr. Hammer ran out of his office and tried to stop him, but he had the law with him and Mr. Manns will open a miniature White City, which from the looks of things, will be a money maker. MRS. H. P. JONES DIES SUDDENLY Special to the Chicago Defender. Keoku, Iowa, May 27—Mrs. H. P. Jones, wife of Rev. Jones, formerly associate pastor at Quinn Chapel, died here suddenly this week, and her body was taken to Indianapolis for interment. Mrs. Jones was quite a worker with her husband. Besides her husband, she lives a daughter, known in Chicago, Mame Stewart. NATIONAL DISGRAGE Supposed Christians Faint at the Sight of Prize Fights, but Laud the Raping of Colored Girls and Lynchings. IF THIS IS CHRIST, EXCUSE ME The Sunday School Convention in Washington Sets New Christlike Mark in Their Color Line BY A. G. F. SIMS. The members of the (white) Presbyterian Ministerial Association are working overtime in an endeavor to have the proposed Johnson-Jeffries fight, scheduled for July 4, prohibited. They are even going to take the matter up with the President. Why, sure these gentlemen object to the national disgrace of a white and black man struggling for physical supremacy as man to man, etc. I wonder if these same men have stopped to consider how hypocritical their present efforts seem to the fair-minded public, who cannot help but wonder if these gentlemen are really sincere from a Christian standpoint. The question may be asked, why do you doubt their sincerity? And in answer I will say that with all of the lynchings and mob violence that is prevalent in this land of supposed freedom, you have never heard or read of a Christian body of white ministers even raising their voices in their annual conferences, much less appealing to the authorities to put a stop to it. But possibly they reason this way: That lynchings are perpetrated by a mob against one man, and as the motto of our beloved country is "In Union There is Strength," it is no national disgrace. But in the case of Messrs. Johnson-Jeffries, it is man against man, and as the Negro has an equal chance, that in itself, in their opinion, is enough to constitute a national disgrace. Now I may be wrong, but it seems to me that if this same "Christian" body would direct their combined efforts to abolish Jim Crow cars and advocate the enforcement of the fourteenth amendments, along with the abolishment of mob violence, they would be following a course more in keeping with the Christian consistency that we all expect to see in one who wears the cloth. But for them to ignore these vital questions that affect the moral and Christian welfare of seventy-five millions of people, and concentrate their influence upon an incident that only affects a few, is, in my opinion, the very zeal of that most despleable of curses known as hypocrisy. Wake up, my white brethren, and show to us that your hearts are right, by first endearing to help the wee, and then you can and will get the support of all to prevent your well-used "hobby," national disgrace. And in the interim of now and your waking hours, permit me to say that as this is the first time that a black man and a white man have met as the pick of their respective races in a contest of this kind, on behalf of the Negroes of this and other countries, may Jack succeed in knocking Jim's block off, just to make it a good national disgrace. MRS. D. W. JOHNSON RETURNS. Mrs. D. W. Johnson, 6034 May street, has returned to the city after a stay of three weeks in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mrs. Johnson's visit was occasioned by the death of her friend and schoolmate. Mrs. Sadie Bell, who died In that city, April 29th. Mrs. Johnson was accompanied by her daughter, Miss Thela. JUST A FEW CLUB This is the name of a select coterie of jolly souls that meet at 2816 Armour avenue, once a week. Mr. William Burrows, that past master of fun, is the chief entertainer. His guitar and musical voice contribute chiefly to the pleasure of the evening. The officers of this club are: Mrs. Bettie Birch, president; Mr. Geo Clark, vice president; Mrs. Katie Graham, secretary and treasurer. The membership is as follows: Mrs. Lizzie Robinson, Miss Belle Parker, Mrs. Lillie Harris, Mrs. Cordella Ross, Mrs. Bob Dotson, Will Mack and Will Burrows. A choice course of refreshments ends the evening's entertainment. How many residents in Chicago of Kentucky birth that have made good, leaving their native state that abounds in luxury, morality, thrift and honor, that don't feel the keen sacrifice is the impression created during my short visit where afslent faces in the many happy homes that have relatives and friends who are sojourning throughout the North trying to better their condition with their heart in Kentucky. Will they ever be able to repay the loss to city, farms and domestic vocations where the greatest demand exists? Is money all to be considered in the pursuit of life? If so, their accomplishment may be considered; if not the best recommendation to the anxious, restless folks at home is, look before you leap. MRS. MILDRED PATTERSON DEAD Mrs. M. Patterson, 5312 Calumet avenue, for three weeks suffered at St. Luke's Hospital, died last Saturday after an operation. Mrs. Patterson was formerly of Virginia and one of the stanch workers of the True Reformers, she being presiding officer of the Past Officers' Council. For several years she was division secretary in Norfolk, Va., and then transferred to the same position in New York, when she was transferred to Chicago by her husband, Mr. A. T. N. Patterson, who married her there at the time. Services were held at Bethesda on Wednesday at 9 a.m. m. The remains were taken to Mt. Glenwood. Mr. Patterson has the sympathy of his many friends. MISS WASHINGTON Goes to See Jack Johnson Fight. Miss Mand Washington, 4629 Dearborn street, the South Side belle, leaves Tuesday, May 31, for a six months' travel through the West, taking in Iowa, Nebraska and ending by the ring side to cheer "Jack" on. It is thought that she has a box seat, and will be very near the ring, for she says, "I just intend yelling to Jack and cheering him on." There was a hint at marriage, but our reporter did not pay much attention, as she is not of marriageable age. MRS. JAMES KELLEY'S NEAT FLAT. Mrs. Jas. Kelly, 3722 Armour avenue, in an interview with a reporter told how she came to have such a beautiful house over on Armour avenue. She said: "Well, to start with, when we got married one and a half years ago neither myself nor husband had $1.00 left after paying for license and one month's board and room, but we both made up our minds to get busy, and we did. I worked six months and then James made me stop, as he had secured a job which would take care of us nicely. Within that space of time we have furnished our six room flat, paying for our furniture as we got it out, and have bought a lot upon which to build our own home when we have saved a little more. I am as happy and contented as one can be, and like Mrs. Irene Board, we have cut out wine suppers and to go to 10 operas about twice a month. In this way many of our young couples could do and find that after all, married life is a blessing." DIES AT 120 YEARS OLD. Mrs. Dean Long, mother of Mrs. R. Lockie and grandmother of Mrs. Hattie Hudson, 3126 Rhodes avenue, died Monday at the age of 120. Born in Baltimore in 1790. MME. PATTI BROWN RETURNS. Mme. Brown, who toured the South, called into The Defender's office on Thursday morning to report her arrival. She said: "Well, I had all the Chicago papers while on the trip, but I must say The Defender is the only paper in Chicago. The people everywhere I have been have asked did I know about that Defender, which is so outspoken and gets all those Associated news items, and I told them I did, and I must say everybody speaks in the highest terms of it. I am glad to be back and I am sure my friends will be glad to see me." She took her cab and left for her home after her interview.

SURVIVING CRAFT SAVES SIX Returns to Port Huron with Huge Hole in Bow Plates as Evidence of the Disaster. The steel steamer Frank H. Goodyear of the Mitchell Transit Company lies in forty fathoms of water in Lake Huron about thirty-five miles off Point Aux Barques and probably eighteen persons met death in a collision between that vessel and the steamer James P Wood, another steel boat, belong to the Giltchrist Transportation Company. Five were saved. The collision occurred about 6 o'clock on a recent morning in a heavy fog which overhung the lake. When the steamers came together the crew of the Goodyear, which is reported to have been struck, amidships, had time only to setze life preservers. Only a few could jump overboard before the boat began to fill with water. The cook had just sounded the second call for breakfast on the Goodyear when the crash came and many were in the messroom. All rushed on deck and then the boat began to sink. Several jumped into the water and managed to get out of reach of the boat, which was filling fast. Suddenly the Goodyear parted in the center and with a sound which could be heard above the whistling of the Wood, sank out of sight, carrying with it all except five on board. The bow of the Wood was stove in, but she rested on her bulkhead, and, although some water flowed into the hold, was kept afloat with the pumps. Captain Gibson of the Wood ordered the lifeboats lowered and gave the crew instructions to make every possible effort to save any of the sailors of the sinking steamer. In a short time the yawlboat was brought alongside the Wood and Capt. Hemenger, Steward Frank Bassett, Mrs. Emma Bassett, Frank Mollick and George Grant were taken aboard, all exhausted from their exertions to save themselves during the time they were in the water. Many of the Goodyear's crew were killed by falling hatches before they had a chance to jump into the water. All had on life preservers when their vessel sank. The cook's baby was dashed from his arms by a falling hatch and the infant was lost. Both the Wood and the Goodyear are large steel vessels. The Wood is 514 feet long and the Goodyear was 436 feet long. For more than seven hours the Wood remained at anchor near the scene of the collision, the captain hoping that he would be able to save others of the crew of the Goodyear. When the fog roe nothing was in sight, and as his boat was damaged and in danger of sinking he decided to return to Port Huron, Mich. RECEIVES ROOSEVELT. Alexandra Expresses Appreciation of American Sympathy. Queen Mother Alexandra received Mr. Roosevelt at Buckingham palace, London, the other day. The two had a long chat, in which her majesty took occasion to tell the former President how much she appreciated the sympathy expressed for her in America at the time of her bereavement. Subsequently the queen mother received Lord Byrnecona, high commissioner of Canada, whom she asked to convey to the people of the dominion an expression of her gratitude for their love and sympathy. (By W. Henri Brown, staff co- ent of the Defender. Just now the Chicago 1 Company is making arguments the columns of the daily paper ing to create sentiment against tallishment of a rival telephone within the limits of the city of go. This same company is con advertising that it needs girl various exchanges. It dwells in upon the pleasantness of the w recreation periods, lunch-room: also the six hours of work.

The case ls another of Missouri's alleged pol- soning cases.” Mrs. Doxey admitted she married Erder while still the wife of Dr. Doxey. Dr. Doxey was In Ne- braska during Erder’s itiness, but the State alleges he sent poison to Mrs. Doxey, with directions as to how It should be administered. Miss Kate Erder, sister of the dend postal clerk, will be the ehief witness for the State, huving worked on the case unaided and caused the arrest of the Doxeys. The State claims the motive of the at leged poisoning was to obtain the In- surance carried by Erder and to avoid complications from Mrs. Doxey's big. amous marriage.

Where a white Hitchcock and a black Kafka and friend and a poor colored actor is sent to prison for an unreasonable term of years.

The United States Court of Claims has handed down its decision in the Ute Indian case, entering judgment for the Indian claimants for $3,408,611.40 as just compensation for lands confiscated by the United States government. The tribes confederated in the suit were the White River Utes, the Uinta Utes, the Southern Utes, and the Uncompaghe Utes. By an act of Congress jurisdiction of the Ute Indian reservation was vested in the Court of Claims in 1909, because land had been taken by minor treaties without just compensation, and large forest preserves were taken out, until the holdings of the Utes dwindled to a very small acreage. The judgment is to compensate for this, and in addition to the money a tract of the government lands in Colorado, containing nearly 15,000,000 acres, will be set aside for the Utes as a reservation. HOTEL CHAMPLAIN DESTROYED. Large Summer Resort Structure in New York Burns—Man Missing. The Hotel Champlain, on Lake Champlain, was destroyed by fire the other day. It was one of the largest and finest hotels in Northern New York. The hotel was to have opened for the summer season June 25, and there were about sixty employees in the building when the fire was discovered. Although all of those in the hotel were at first thought to have escaped the flames, an electrician named Herbert was later reported as missing and may have lost his life. The fire department from Plattsburgh and two companies of regulars from the army barracks, two miles away, fought the flames vainly. World's Rail Record Broken The world's record was broken the other day on the Michigan Central Railway, when two special trains of twelve coaches each carried the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers from Detroit to Niagara Falls. The first train ran the 224 miles from river to river without a stop in 224 minutes, and the second train in still better time—217 minutes. THE RAILROADS --- President Brown, of the New York Central Railroad, in conference with several other prominent captains of industry connected with the New York Produce Exchange, have started a new movement for the reoccupation of abandoned farms in New York State and for the more intensive cultivation of all farms, in the belief that this is the only permanent solution of the problem of high prices and increasing poverty. "So many farmers' sons have deserted their homes up York State to make their fortunes in the city that 3,000 acres of the best farm lands in the country has been allowed to go virtually to waste; and it has come to the point where the only way we see to reclaim it is to bring in immigrant farmers from Europe to buy and work the land." He admitted frankly that his land was not sufficient for the land reoccupation because it would mean more work for his freight cars. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson addressed the Produce Exchange Tuesday, and on his advice that body passed resolutions to take some definite action toward bringing the people back to the land and toward assisting the farmer to best methods of soil conservation. To this end a committee of fourteen was resolved on. The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the lake and rail freight rates on flour from Minneapolis to New York City and the Atlantic seaboard reduced from 23 cents per 100 pounds to $11.2 cents, beginning May 10 and remaining effective for two years. The American Express Company has extended its service to the Union Pacific, Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company and auxiliary lines, and offices will be opened at principal points on these lines, including Butte, Denver, Portland, Spokane, Topeka, Seattle and Tacoma. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has announced a voluntary increase of 6 per cent in the wages of all employees who now get less than $300 a month. About 175,000 men are affected. It was said that a similar advance would be made west of Pittsburg, the present raise affecting only those lines east of that city. PLAY BALL.

Jordan Chavis has just returned home from annual visit to all of the lodges of the U. B. T. and S. M. T. of the State. The reverend preached the annual sermon of the S. M. T. at Hermann Baptist Church last Sunday night. Text was "A Three-Fold Chain Is Not Easily Broken." He also outlined the work which they were doing and what a grand Order it was, and the production of this Order was from the hand of a Negro, and no white man; the only order of its kind that is produced by a Negro, and that in some of the Southern States that the Negroes are now allowed to wear a Masonic or Odd Fellow charm or badge, and that suits every day are being filed against them. Lawyer Watson of Chicago is chief counsel for the Negro organization. We hope that a stop will soon be put to this and give the Negro a chance, and he will climb to the topmost round of fame. We can only say to Dr. Chavis to continue the good work for the race, and after a while the Negro will be one of the foremost races on the globe.

PHYLLL WHEATLEY CLUB A very pleasant meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. Bell Thomas, 3832 Wabash avenue, last Wednesday afternoon. Many members and visitors were present and expressed their pleasure by words of praise to the club members for their good work, under all circumstances. Mrs. Eva Monroe, State President, was one of our guests, also Mrs. Colbert, wife of the esteemed patron of Walters Chapel. We are always pleased to have visitors come and see just what we are doing, for that is the only way to find out. The luncheon served by our hostess was enjoyed by all. We hope to visit her again soon. Mrs. Theresa Macon. State Organizer, visited us last week. Come again. You are always welcome. We regret to say that Mrs. Thos. Pearson, our financial secretary, is very ill again. Mrs. Collins, our vice president, was not present at our last meeting. Her son is quite ill. We missed the sunny smile of Mrs. Fischer. Her daughter, Mrs. Endora Lockett, is very sick. She attended the meeting of the executive board Monday evening. We were very glad to have her, as she belongs to the faithful few.

Bureau Finds Sufficient Efforts to Correct Ills Not Being Made. The bureau of municipal research of the District of Columbia has gathered data for 358 cities in forty-two states, says Leslie's. Of this number only 148 cities were making any attempt to discover transmissible disease, 227 were examining defective vision, 171 were examining for breathing troubles and only 117 for bad teeth. The influence of good teeth upon health and of proper breathing upon mental ability can no longer be questioned. It has been discovered, too, that many dull and stupid children were so simply because they were underfed. When properly nourished they became eager and bright. It has always been known that in order to keep a horse strong and spirited a diet of water and hay is not enough. He must have oats. It is now shown that a child in school must have a well-balanced diet, not alone to be physically strong, but as much in order to be mentally alert. The movement in some cities, therefore, to provide a nourishing lunch at a nominal price for school children who are poorly fed at home is a forward step in education. The King of Sweden has recently been working as a stevedore for the purpose of finding out how the laborers of his country feel. He has taken the course. The quickest and surest find out how a laborer feels is SICK LIST. VOTE TWO DREADNOUGHTS. Senators Down Burton Amendment for One Ship and Pass Naval Bill. The Senate has passed a new naval appropriation bill authorizing two new battleships of the Dreadnought type by a vote of 26 to 39, defeating an amendment offered by Mr. Burton to authorize only one battleship. The bill carries an appropriation of $134,000,000. During the debate, which was confined almost exclusively to the battleship question, two important amendments were adopted. One of them, offered by Senator Johnston, appropriates $450,000 for the purchase of torpedo boats "whose vitals are below the normal load line;" the other, by Senator Jones, eliminates railroad, county and municipal bonds from the securities which may be deposited by contractors. The naval increase for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, provided by the bill, is as follows: Two first-class battleships to cost not exceeding $1,600,000 each, and when equipped with armor and armament about $12,500,000 each. Two fleet collers, to cost not exceeding $1,600,000 each. Five submarine torpedo boats, not exceeding a total of $2,500,000. exceeding a total of $2,700,000. cost to cost not exceeding $750,000 each. The House bill provided only four submarines and no torpedo boat destroyers. The Senate also added a provision that not more than one of the battleships should be built by the same company. The provision inserted in the house requiring that the battleships and fleet colliers should be built under the "eight-hour law," was retained by the Senate. ROADS SUFFER BY LIVING COST. Missachusetts Probers Find Lines Are Not to Blame for Advance. Instead of being in any way responsible for the high cost of living, the railroads should be classed as the greatest sufferers, declares the Massachusetts Cost of Living Commission in a report issued the other day. The report asserts that railroads are getting less for what they give than ever before. Despite this the commission finds that the railroads have prospered. This is attributed to the shutting off of rebates and the discontinuance of passes, together with the enormous increase in the volume of business. MARRIED MAN SHOOTS A GIRL Denver Man, Whose Wife Lives in Ohio Chicago, Then Tries Suicide. Harry Pike, a real estate dealer of Denver, whose wife lives in Chicago, and Miss Mazelle Ritter, a stenographer, occupy cots in adjoining wards in the county hospital in Denver, both suffering from serious bullet wounds fired by Pike because Miss Ritter refused to marry him. Pike argued with the girl in her apartments on Capitol Hill until late at night, and when she refused, on account of his wife, to accede to his wishes, shot her twice and, leaving her for dead, went to the Kaiserhof Hotel. Seating himself in the lobby, he shot himself in the head. Suggestion Made to Give Movement the Name of King Edward. A proposal to inaugurate a worldwide peace movement bearing the name of King Edward was made by Sir William Mather at a meeting of the Peace Society in London. The suggestion met with prompt approval, and speakers who followed Sir William intimated that there was reason for the belief that Emperor William is desirous of taking a very important part, if not the actual leadership, in promoting a peace league of the world. SURRENDERS TO GIRL'S PLEA. Sutor Gives Self Up After Sweet-heart Aksis Him to Reform "Boy, have you no heart? Come back to Chicago, and when your time is up, if you still love this little girl, we will be happy yet," was the plea that led Max H. Rubenstein to prison in Los Angeles, Cal. He is wanted in Chicago for the embezzlement of $900 from Libby, McNeill & Libby, by whom he was employed as a collector. The police refuse to make public the name of the girl who penned the plea. Order Big Express Rate Cnts Sweeping reductions in express charges were ordered by the Kansas State Railroad Commission. The board ordered a decrease of 12 per cent on all merchandise rates where the rate per 100 pounds is in excess of $1 and a reduction of 15% per cent on all general special gates where the rate is in excess of 90 cents a hundred pounds. Held Up by Woman, Kills Self. Unable to stand the ridicule which was heaped upon him by companions after he had recently been held up on the street and robbed of $3 by a woman, John Denhard, 45 years old, committed suicide by taking carbolic acid in Pittsburg. Flyer Wrecked; 35 Are Injured. St. Louis and San Francisco passenger train No. 4, the fast express from Texas to St. Louis, was wrecked two miles south of Rogers, Ark. Thirty-five persons were injured, three probably fatally. The officials of the railway deny and one was killed. Business Blocks Burned. The principal business blocks of Alzheimer, Ark., were destroyed by fire. It originated in a meat shop, and L. M. Quattlebaum, J. P. Walt & Brother, W. C. Crittendon, the Telephone Exchange, Bellamy Brothers, the postoffice and L. Ellibott were burned out. Twenty-two Brown in Collision. Twenty-two persons were drowned in a collision between the steamer Skerryvori and the German bark J. C. Vinnen in the English channel. The Skerryvori sank. Only two of the crew of the steamer were rescued and one died a short time later. The United States dry dock Dewey, stationed on Olongand, Manila, sank in seventy feet of water. Divers are investigating the accident. "Tommy," queried the teacher, "can you tell me what an old settler is sometimes called?" "Yes, ma'am; a pioneer," was the reply. "Now, Johnny," said the teacher to another small pupil, "what is a pioneer?" "An old man who pays his debts." The family next door had a new dog, and small Ethel was admiring it. "Be careful," said the lady, "or he may bite you." "Why should he bite me?" asked Ethel. "Because he doesn't know you." "Well," queried the little miss. "why don't introduce the minister, had frequently been told by his father to say, 'Get behind me, Satan,' when tempted to do wrong. One day the father suddenly asked: 'Walter, what do you do when tempted to do wrong?' "Why," he replied. "I just think of you and say, 'Satan, go away back and sit down'." BOY PUIS BATTER OUT; DIES. Hit in Abdomen by Ball, Lad Hurls Sphere and Falls Dead. The baseball instinct was so strong in Harry Becker, a 14-year-old boy, that although he was knocked down and plainly badly injured when struck in the abdomen by a batted ball during a "seurub" game, he managed to throw the ball to first in time to catch the runner. That assist was the last that will be credited to him. As the ampire cried "Out!" Becker collapsed and he was dead when a physician reached his side. Do not regard the flea with great contempt; it is about the only creature which gets any work out of a dog. ELITE FACE CREAM. For Cleaning and Purifying the Skin There Is Nothing Like It Under the Sun. Its great affinity for all soaps and its power for taking up and neutralizing the harmful elements that exist in all soaps are unsurpassed by anything known to the chemical world. The alkali is taken up by some of the properties of the cream, forming a new compound called cream soapole. This newly formed compound electrifies and purifies the skin; removing every trace of grease, paint, varnish, or any foreign elements, leaving the skin in perfect condition, pure and white. This makes possible the arterial circulation which brings the desired nutrition to the very outer layer of the skin. Rejuvenating the cellular elements and thereby bringing back the youthful appearance. Full directions on every bottle.

The Choral Study Club spruz a surprise on Chicago on Sunday evening at the Institutional Church by presenting Mr. Kemper Herreld as director of the chorus. This is the first time in the history of America that a young man of the race was ever given such an overture. Great things are expected from the young artist, and Mr. Pedro T. Tinsley, the club's director, says he sees a great future in Kemper. We are quite sure if the well wishers of the race will but contribute to the club they will have a monument just as dear to their hearts as the Apollo Club is to all our hearts who are fond of music. The club sang the "Seven Last Words of Christ." There is no need for comment. The only thing we would urge is, let every family in the city give the club at least $5 each and let them buy a home that they may promote the art like other races are doing.

BILLIONS FOR INSURANCE. articles Isled on Lives Estimated 1990, 1991, 1992, Last, Year. worked nobly, paying in in $564,785,696, a gain of $19,000,000 over what they paid in 1908. Interest and other pay- ments swelled the income of the com- panies to $747,294,985. During the year the companies disbursed to policy holders $360,663,053 and laid by "for future protection of policy holders" $242,343,374. Statistics as to how much went to "yellow dog" funds are lack- ing, but probably, will come out in the course of future legislative investiga- tions. The assets of the 180 companies at the close of 1909 amounted to $3,664,105,542, an increase of $264,000,000 during the year. The surplus on policy holders' accounts increased nearly $60,000,000 to $544,410,426. The figures, which were taken from a tabulation by one of the leading insurance papers of the United States, give some idea of the enormous growth of the life-insurance business. Taking the ordinary and the industrial business together, the insurance in force in the companies operating under the legal reserve laws amounts to $15,473,909,466. The notable gains made all along the line reflect the improvement in financial affairs since the murky condition of 1910. The insurance agent made a good record for himself last year and is entering upon the work of 1910 with improved prospects. He is rolling up so much business that the figures already are so big as to stagger the ordinary man's comprehension. Small wonder that financial magnates are struggling for control of the great insurance companies while the busy agent is hustling and the policy holder is paying the freight. The salmon output of Alaska equals the combined catch of British Columbia, the United States proper and Japan. CLASSIFIED COLUMN. WANTED.

JACKSON. When officials of the C. C. B. C. A. A. failed to give good reasons or state to what advantage it was to have all the colored teams grouped in one league they withdrew. A meeting of representatives of the different colored school teams was called Monday night at Bethel Church to discuss the situation, and a colored (Independent) league was organized. Grace Presbyterian (No. 1) and Hope are in the Presbyterian League, where no distinction or difference is made in regard to school. They are all on the same plane, whether large or small, colored or white. The opening games of the Presbyterian League will be played May 14. The Glace teams are now in fairly good condition. This team is composed mostly of college men, very speedy and aggressive. The Grace fans think their team, under the able management of R. Brown, will capture the pennant. Hope team appears to be in the best of condition. The team work of Hope last year was a revelation to the f.uis. It is considered by some the brainiest team in the league. Games between Grace and Hope will be watched with intense interest, from the beginning these two teams have been great rivals, and each contest has been a bitter struggle. Sureastle.

For Cleaning and Purifying the Skin There Is, Nothing Like It Under the Sun. Its great affinity for all soaps and its power for taking up and neutralizing the harmful elements that exist in all soaps are unsurpassed by anything known to the chemical world. The alkali is taken up by some of the properties of the cream, forming a new compound called cream sopolate. This newly formed compound electrifies and purifies the skin; removing every trace of grease, paint, varnish, or any foreign elements, leaving the skin in perfect condition, pure and white. This makes possible the arterial circulation which brings the desired nutrition to the very outer layer of the skin. Rejuvenating the cellular elements and thereby bringing back the youthful appearance. Full directions on every bottle.
