SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1912 JACK JOHNSON BRIDAL PARTY THE WEDDING The above cut shows Jack Johnson and his wife in their wedding march and not an Evanston Grecian dame, as one would have first suspected. Reading from right to left is Rev. John Balay, Mr. Donaldson and wife, Luelle, Jack and Mrs. Tiny Johnson. Mrs. Jack Johnson says: "I am a free woman and have a perfect right to marry whom I please. Sho says: "Why don't the United States government stop southern and northern white men as well from living and raising children by colored women out of wedlock; look in the south and see the advantage taken of the colored people. Look at that case where the white men in George fought and killed each other for the love of a colored woman. There are no gleaming headlines in the nice big papers. Well, let them holler who will; all I have to say is I am happy and I did not go south either. I want my fellow citizens to know that I am still living in the "land of the free and the home of the brave." Mr. W. Raleigh Shields Dies on Friday and Stork Leaves Baby on Sunday Morning, Which is Buried in the Same Casket With Its Father in the Afternoon — Deceased Was Well Known in Sporting Circles, Being Manager of the Marquette Club—Former Friends Desert Him. SICK WIFE ALMOST DESTITUTE. But Thanks to Her Friends and Neighbors Who Aided Her and Mr. Alexander Manning, Her Husband's Cousin, and Messrs. Thomas Clark and Rosco Evans, the Only Two of His Former Companions That Came to See Him—Carried Small Life Insurance Policy—Pathetic Scene in a Mècea Apartment. --- Last week Mrs. K. W. Shields, who resides in No. 221, did unpretentious flat in the Mecca building, saw life's woes in a manner that almost beggars description. Friday was the fateful day. In the early morning death claimed her husband, Mr. W. Raleigh Shields, who had been ill since September. He died of blood poisoning, the result of a gunshot wound. The funeral was set for Sunday afternoon, but early Sunday morning Mrs. Shields was delivered of a 15-pound baby, but the happy cry of a new born infant did not fill that apartment, for life was extinct. Buried in Father's Arms. Funeral services were held at 4 p.m. The baby was placed in the game casket with its father. Inverment was at Mt. Glenwood cemetery. A reporter of The Chicago Defender finds this case to be a most pathetic one. Mr. Shields as manager of the Marquette Club, was popular in sporting circles, but his former friends forsook him after he was shot. With the exception of Mr. Alexander Manning, his cousin, and Messrs. Thomas Clark and Rosace Evans, the only two of his companions that called on him, his delicate wife was alone. Her only resource to care for herself and her two-year-old son was a small life insurance that friends say is only large enough to pay the funeral expenses. Work Her Only. Recounts Work Her Only Resource. Unless added otherwise another college bred woman will be compelled to work for a livelihood, for the "door of hope" is slowly closing against the Negro. Mr. Shields was born in Huntsville, Ala. Mrs. Shields thanks her neighbors and friends. Mrs. Shields' mother and sister-in-law, it was learned, were very good to her while Mr. Shields was in Provident hospital. Her Loving Tribute.

The latest landmark doomed in the District of Columbia is the ancient mill on the willow and alder lined margin of the eastern branch close by the hamlet of Bladensburg, a place which a century and a half ago was accounted in the chronicles of the time a bustling city.

It gave stamina to many of the men who carried flintlocks for the young republic.

American sharp-shooters used this mill as cover and some of the British received their death wounds there. OFFICER SAVED FROM DEATH Driftwood Gatherer Rescues the Only Survivor of Small Boat Run Down by Barge. New York.—For two hours before dawn recently Policeman Otto Schmuck, attached to the East One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Street station, fought for life in the twisting tides of Hell Gate, and finally won, while three companions who were with him in a powerboat, run down in Hell Gate by a railroad barge, were drowned. Mrs. Caroline Phillips, who lives at 58 Hoyt avenue, Astoria, makes a practice each morning to search the shore of the river only a few hundred feet away from her house for driftwood, and Schmuck owes his life to her. She saw what she at first thought to be a log—"n nice, big log," as the gleaner of driftwood put it—lodged among the rocks some 25 feet out from the river bank. As she was trying to devise some plan for the log's recovery she heard a shivering moan and she saw a movement of the black streak in the water. Without a moment's hesitation the woman waded out into the ice water to her waist and came to a man who was floating, anchored to the tip of a rock by the grip of his two blue hands. Though the current was swift, and the weight of the half-drowned man was dragging, the gatherer of driftwood towed the limp body ashore. The semi-conscious man was removed to the Astoria police station and chance to St. John's hospital. INDIAN ASKS FOR DIVORCE Ute Woman First of Original Americans to Resort to the White Man's Method.

Now is a good time to fall out with your best girl. You need not worry about what to give the editor of this paper for Christmas. He is out of everything. A year's subscription to The Defender makes an acceptable gift. This cold snap makes you wish you had some of the eagles you spent foolishly last summer. Window shopping when you're broke has a tendency to give you that tired feeling. It cost $1,000,000 to elect Wilson. My, suppose we had that much to spend for Christmas presents. Not a colored act appeared on the bill at the Grand this week. What is wrong? After Christmas it will be quite the thing to begin saving money so you can visit the world's fair at San Francisco in 1915. A great many people will have to write a pretty strong letter to Santa Claus to get him to pay any attention to it as hard as times are this year. Do not let any injustice to the race go unchallenged. Fight for your rights—not your privileges—as long as there is breath in your body. Nothing in this world was ever gained without a struggle. --- In a debate the question was: "Resolved, That it is the condition of the Negro that impedes his progress and not his color." The house was packed and only four of those present supported the affirmative—and they had to or there wouldn't have been a debate. Baltimore is now assured of its new Y. M. C. A., having raised $6,000 more than was required of them. Of courses the building would be an impossibility if our Mr. Rosenwald did not come to the front with his usual $25,000. The hand of Chicago is felt around the world. Chief of Police McWeeny received a telegram from five residents of Louisiana requesting that he ship Jack Johnson down to them that they might have some fun during the holidays. Owing to a previous engagement it will be impossible for the champion to accept of their kind invitation, but we are unauthorized to say he would be glad to entertain any one or all of them up here some Fourth of July. Because G. R. Christmas, one of the young social bloods of Ashbourne, Ga., would persist in forcing his attentions on a comely colored girl, workmen in a lumber mill there took him out. stripped him, and gave him a horse whipping, and, for good measure, burned his clothes. As we said many times before, a habit will grow on you. If they can't find a Negro to lynch they will try it on themselves. J. F. Moss of New York offered the National Colored Women's Congress which just closed a successful meeting in Montclair, N. J., $10,000 to build an industrial school providing the association buy the ground. This should not be a hard matter. The cause is a worthy one and our people are beginning to realize the advantages to be derived from such institutions. "Ask and ye shall receive." The article in the Record-Herald about separating white and colored delinquent children pleased some of the southern papers immensely. They always glory when they find a northern paper voicing their sentiments and joyously exclaim, "I told you so." White and colored children know nothing else that go to school together and where fact and theory come together it is best to hold to the fact and dismiss the theory. There is no reason why any able bodied man or woman should be without work when the big firms at the stock yards are seeking them. The changing in hotels and restaurants from colored to white waiters proved a goodseid in many cases. It drove men into higher and better paying positions, though for a time it seemed a hardship and an injustice; but the world moves on and owes both black and white a living, providing we work for it. Charles A. Karch, a member of the Illinois legislature from Clair county, is tired of living in obscurity and wants to ride into the limelight as many others of his ilk have done, on the back of the patient colored man. Riled over the marriage of Jack Johnson and Lucille Cameron he threatens to introduce a bill in this state prohibiting intermarriages. He will doubtless wake up some morning and find instead of being a representative he will be a misrepresentative of the people and as such can amble back to the woods again where he belongs. Eleven professors, representing as many state universities of the south, are to meet in Georgia next month to discuss the Negro as a factor in the industrial and sociological problems of that section of the country. Not that we are mind readers, but we have a hunch the same old thing will be gone over and the same conclusions reached; when they have finished the problem will still be unsolved, if problem it is. This constantly being in the limelight is very hard on our eyes, but we are so self-sacrificing we allow them to show us off at will if they get any pleasure out of it. One of our Chicago papers has coiled a new word, "Blease," taken from the name of the misgovernor of South Carolina, and the definition is very appropo: "To rail vulgarly at the constitution; to defend mug rule; to rant, bray, bleat, curse, rave and cause sensible and refined people to hang their heads in shame." "What Blease says on any subject," the writer continues, "is a matter of no importance. He happens to be governor of a state but that does not give nature has denied him—sense and reason do the race no harm but rather help it, bringing as it does to the front our champions. Let Blease bleat. Who cares?" It is passing strange how easily guards are overpowered and jails broken into the South when the criminal is a Negro. Strange a white criminal' occupying an adjoining cell is provided with stronger locks, and if need be the entire state militia. There's a dark secret about it somewhere. Shreveport, La., reports to the world that they just lynched three at one time last week. Why, certainly they did not stop to find out if they were guilty or not; that would consume time, and they're such a busy lot of rebels there. We will not go into the question of whether there is or is not a place of torment hereafter, but some people, as sure as there is a just God above, will reap what they sow. Some two weeks ago we inserted free an advertisement clipped from a Texas paper for a wife. We did this in order to give some of our wall flowers a chance. Two or three of them corresponded with the gentleman and it begins to look as if Chicago would capture the prize; whether it be capital or booby at this writing we are unable to say. But what we want to emphasize is the fact that it pays to advertise in The Defender, the paper that reaches the masses. No business man or woman can afford not to let the public know what they are doing and what they have to sell. Until this conclusion is reached their success will be only mediocre. You must spend money to make money, and there is no better way of making it return than by advertising. Try it. A prominent (evidently southern) Democratic member of Congress is reported to have said, "I have no authority to speak for Mr. Wilson but I believe he favors tolerant"—kindly note the word "tolerant"—"justice and fairness to Negro federal office holders." The gentleman personally thinks that all positions such as doorkeepers and messengers should be given to them, but is bitterly opposed to putting any colored man in office where he will have authority over a where he will be admitting that we do form a goodly part of our population and incidentally pay a large share of the taxes. Luckily he or no other man can say what Mr. Wilson will or will not do; he will decide his own policy, and we are willing to at least believe in him until he proves himself untrue, and we feel that time will never come. We are thinking seriously of putting a long chalk mark on the wall, it being the first time a Negro criminal in Texas ever received justice. We say the first time, because the papers found it necessary to call attention to the case. The frequent criticisms which are made in some parts of the country about their methods rather riled them. It is charged, and rightly so, that a Negro is railroaded through the courts regardless of his guilt or innocence. Let us quote from one of these "Cracker" yellow sheets; "A Negro is treated with greater lenency in the South than is the white man who is guilty of violating the law, for the reason the Negro, being of less intelligence, is considered less responsible, and is seldom punished until every afforded by the law for his defense has been made in his behalf." Will those in the congregation who believe that kindly stand on their heads?

C., on the British West Indian Negro. It is significant that the lack of race prejudice in the islands, together with the unusual opportunities for individual culture open to the West Indian Negro, tends to separate him from his people instead of making him a race leader. There is a valuable lesson here for the American Negro. The new kind of race leadership being developed in Virginia among the farm-demonstration agents and supervising industrial teachers is described in an editorial on the Hampton Farmers' Conference. The education of the whole community is the dominant note. Other materials discussed editorially are the education of national children in the Balkan War and its probable consequences (by Dr. House, the veteran missionary), and the recent opportunity given to Negro contributors by the Celtium Magazine. The issue contains also a full report of the Mohonk Conference, an interesting illustrated article on "The Scandinavian Christmas," and an Indian story by Dr. Harsha entitled "The Reward of Shines White." SLAVERY-BLACK AND WHITE. After all, Jack Johnson has married Lucile Cameron and has taken her to his home from the fate of the streets where the white press endeavored to place her. He took her from jail where the petticoated philanthropists and doctored public sentiment had ingriggered her and gave her shelter and the protection of his name. There may be some question as to the wisdom of his action. Certainly, what seems at first blush to be an act of honorable amends and charitable salvation to the girl herself has brought upon the luckless head of the champion more strictures than any phase of the incident. After accusing Johnson of all manner of crimes, which everybody knew he had not committed, estimating almost prohibited, 'bonds, in order to keep him in prison and working themselves up into a frenzy of fuss and feathers about nothing, Johnson comes forward and as a matter of justice settles the entire matter by the marriage of the Cameron woman—marriage in full conformance to the laws without the violation of any of them. But his enemies are not satisfied. They are not satisfied because they are not sincere in their contention for a recognition of the laws. They sought to persecute rather than to prosecute, and beneath it all courses the vein of aminus against the Negro himself and against his association with white women. If Johnson had been a white man and had made the display of honorable intentions evinced by the marriage of the Cameron girl all of the court procedure would have terminated automatically and by common consent, but the only thing that he could reasonably do in atonement to the girl for the unpleasant notoriety to which she has been subjected is the very thing that the infronstallists did not want him to do. Were it not for the serious consequences that have already accrued to one of our race, and the liability of future disasters to others of our race we would pass this unfungigated episode by as a simple tempest in a teapot. The simple fact that a Negro has chosen for his wife a friendless white girl has stirred the country from center to circumference, and why? Simply because the demon of prejudice of the white race against the Negro has manifested itself. Influenced by the insistent demands of the press, judges have been induced to strain the character of justice. The grand jury only this week found a billed bill for a white man by the name of Victor Herman for the violation of the Mann act in reference to his own wife, a more reprehensible offense being hard of conception. This white man was held under the modest bond of $10,000, and newspaper accounts of the case ranged from five to twenty-five lines. Why should the Jack Johnson case demand a bond of $30,000 and pages of type, while this really offensive case of Herman only calls for a passing notice? If philanthropy and charity are for THE CHICAGO DEFENDER not be for all? Why did it not extend to poor Little Mator McFerron, debauched and seduced by a white With due and profound apologies to those who have interested themselves in the reclamation of Lucile Cameron, the Defender takes the liberty of suggesting that the Mator McFerron case presents a field ripe for their endeavors. And not only this, it has always been a common divertissement for white men to make conquests of poor and friendless colored girls. It was one of the evens which slavery bequeathed to the Negro race. Some of the best blood of the south intermingled with Negro's blood has been sold upon the auction blocks. The White Riddler, with representative S. A. Riddlerberry of Georgia, and of zealots seek to protect from the enchments of the lesser breeds has already sold its own desh and blood for dollars and cents and implanted the filthy lust of their natures by force upon the women of the black race. White slavery, which is now occupying the center of the stage, is nothing compared with the black slavery which white men have insidiously practiced upon the Negro race, leaving a trail of bastardy from the waters of Dan to the gulf of Beersheba. If advancing civilization affected them it might affect the Negro, but all over the south to this day Negro women are considered to be the legitimate prey of white men, and there is nothing said about it or nothing done to prevent it. It is well, very well, for Mr. Roddenberry to lash himself in a fury of the woman marriage of Jack Johnson to a white woman in the town of heaven does he propose to do about the colored woman who is more earnestly sought by the white man than the white woman is sought by the Negro? Black slavery, extending over centuries of blackest dehauchery where the lust of the white man was turned to his miserable profit and his own flesh and blood" sold at his behest upon the auction block, has not been equalled in all the history of the world. And the emancipation of the race did not stop it either. Only yesterday we read in the daily papers how a white man in Congressman Roddenberry's own state of Georgia killed another about a Negro woman. What kind of slavery is that? Of course, in Georgia, it is against the law for the races to intermary, but nevertheless this illegitimate process of miscognition grows apace and is universally winked at. The Defender would welcome any movement for safe-guarding society by protecting women, but we think it should be broad enough to reach colored women as well as white. Marriage is in itself a contract between individuals whatever race, and we are constrained to observe that would be far better to have it protected by the laws as it is in Illinois than to have the promiscuous cohabitation of the races that exists as a set institution in Georgia.

THE SICK The Latest News About Your Friends and Acquaintances Who Are Under the Physicians Care. Mrs. Edith Smith of 3816 Vernon avenue is very indisposed this week. Miss Hattie Petrice is still ill at her residence, 3655 Dearborn street. Mrs. Joseph H. Anderson of 3812 Rhodes avenue, has been suffering for two weeks from an attack of appendicitis. At this writing she is somewhat improved. Mrs. Catherine Johnson Redman has been ill for several weeks, and is still confined to her bed. Mrs. C. H. Anderson, 3716 Forest avenue, has just recovered from an illness of nine weeks. JOHN R. WINSTON INDISPOSED Mr. John R. Winston, 4015 Cottage Grove avenue, who has recently returned from a vacation of several weeks, spent in Kansas City and other southwestern cities, is reported ill, but not very serious. His physician, Dr. Brennemua, has diagnosed his illness as rheumatism and states that by carrying out his orders he will be quite well in a few days. Although indisposed he has not failed to report regularly on his old run to Oweilne, Ia., and to advertise The Chicago Defender. Light Color Now the 'Essential of a Good (2) Position as a Private Porter. The following absurd advertisement appeared in one of the daily papers this week: MAN-LIGHT COLORED SOUTHERN negro of good education for private railway work: one who has had porter experience defined under the law must Jones defined. Address T 388. Tribune. What difference should the color of a man make so long as he is a Negro? What difference does it make whether a member of the race is from North or South? That experience and education is needed for the elegant position of railroad porter? The advertiser's intentions were probably good but the advertisement to readers appears as ridiculous or a joke. Why not ask that his mother be white and not his father? There are a few men and women in this city who could accept such a position and boast over it. Many of our dining car men have even accepted a slap on the back and have gone to get a man his (light) color for a job as waiter on a dining car. Would they ask any other race the same question? It's a slur on you and it should be resented. You never get any higher even if you are as white as the superintendent. Get wise. Get the hunch. Your suffering is as great as your black brother. Men of the railroad, put your foot on it and don't let a few whelps treat you like you were children. Be men, quit, get a job in the stock yards where the white man's deceit won't poison you with your race. A Southern Negro is more submissive, it seems. Of course, they can't protect their women, but they can be men at least. We hope no gentleman will accept the prop. When we have a flat tire or a flat pocketbook we are forced to stop—Waldo L. Baston. Japanese Has Decided duce Them on Land L in Ocean's Bed. Mr. Mikkinoto's oyster farm. Bay of Ago, off the coast of J. is one of the few successful attain at the deliberate production of pear Mikkinoto spent several years in cost experiments before he perfected a scheme. Then he secured government patents and, according to Popular Mechanics, has succeeded in getting his "farm" on a paying basis. He first makes a bed for his crop in the shalows of the bay, where the larvae of the pear oyster abound two months of July and August. He merely deposits a large number of small stones, to which the oyster spat naturally attach themselves. Then his diving'women transplant the young oysters to deeper waters to protect them from the cold. Here they lie on carefully prepared beds until in their third year they become full grown, and have firmly attached themselves to the stones by means of "necks" which they secrete. At this time the diving women bring the mollusks to the surface and they undergo an operation. A small seed pearl is introduced into the center of the shell. Then the oysters are replanted in the bed and left alone for four years. When they are again brought to the surface it is found that the seed pearl nucleus has been covered with many layers of the nacre, a secretion of the mollusk, and the large, brilliant translucent pearl of commerce has been formed. But the process is not as simple as it appears. During the seven years that the farmer must wait for his crop to mature a large percentage of the oysters die. The oyster beds are raided by such enemies as the octopus and the starfish. Occasionally the "red current sweeps, over them and in a day drops the entire crop. At all times the farmer must keep his oyster bed free of "milruno," a seaweed which will smother the crop. Women divers trained from girlhood to long immersions in the sea are engaged at 20 cents a day to care for the farm. In this work they wear nothing but a head cloth, a white shirt and diving goggles. At each dive they can gather several oysters and return to the surface. A dive occupies about one minute, and a day's work in from four to six hours. An expert can readily gather 500 oysters a day in a depth of water ranging from two to six fathoms. To keep at the work for a day they must frequently come up and warm themselves at a fire. --- Long Trips in Small Craft The Atlantic ocean, which this year has robbed the mercantile marine of its proudest and largest vessel, has in turn been conquered by a comparatively small boat, and one driven by motor power at that. A few days ago Captain Day arrived at Queenstown in command of the motor launch Detroit, in which he journeyed from New York. This little vessel, only 25 feet in length, crosses the vast Atlantic in twenty-four days, having covered 2,800 miles and countered stormy, cold weather the greater part of the journey. The Detroit, however, is by no means the first small vessel to master the Atlantic. In last summer Captain Day, in夏季, the Seabird a 25-foot yawl, crossed from the island to Gibraltar. In 1907 the Catherine, also a yawl, voyaged from Liverpool to New York. In the early part of this year six men in a 65-foot motor boat sailed from Weymouth, England, to Perambuco, Brazil, a journey of 4,500 miles. —Answers. Maupassant's Friend. Who is—and was—the unknown friend of the gifted D. Maunsaunt. She has just confessed—a French review some prominent pages touching upon her relations with him. Le Gré de Paris says "the unknown" is a Slav, essentially French in culture, a queen in the society of Paris and of St. Petersburg. She was the chosen confidant of his heart and of his genius. Among her fervent admirers was a prince, the younger son to a great name. He paid assiduous court, to the king, and held hand in marriage. But "the unknown" encouraged the prince to remain faithful to her great romance. She was, it is said, the inspirer of his romance, "Notre Coeur," and he found in her the heroine of this masterpiece. And now, "the unknown" will turn her recollections into coin by her book "Guy de Maupassant Intime," which will doubtless be sufficiently highly favored to meet the Parisian taste. Spread Poison In City Criminals or madmen, so far untraced, have been busy during the past days in sending round to house proprietors in the city of Milan, Italy, thousands of poisoned lozenges and capsules, in the form of sample advertements purporting to be an infallible cure for all kinds of stomach pain, many very serious cases of poisoning have showed. Over 2,000 of these samples have been collected by the police, and have been found on certain cyanide or potassium metallic salts. The outrages are supposed to be a form of revenge on owners of property for recent heavy rafts in house rents. Love and the Liner A sentimental young lady from town was on the steamship quay, where she saw a young girl sitting on a trunk in an attitude of utter dejection and despair. "Poor thing," thought the young lady, "she is probably a stranger! Her pale cheek great, sad eyes tell of a broker and a yearning for sympathy." She went over to the traveler her confidence. "Crossed in love?" she asked thetically. flat "No," replied the girl with "crossed in the Frolic,' and as ly rough passage, too!" Mians Send $25.50—White Coman Contributes to Fund— Pupils of W. L.

NEW MEAT SUPPLY Washington Officials Say Reindeer Will Supplant Cattle. Declare That In Less Than Twenty Years There Will Be 2,000,000 Animals Grazing in Alaska and Flesh Will Be Cheaper. Washington.—Uncle Sam has undertaken many big problems of late in an effort to solve the mystery of the continued rise in the cost of food. But it is doubtful if any of them will have a greater effect on this vital question than the experiment to find a new meat supply. Every one agrees that the meat problem is the greatest of all. It was for this reason the government first undertook the experiment of taking reindeer on the barren slopes of Alaska. The scheme has now progressed far beyond the experimental stage, and the man who have charge of it say that reindeer beef will cut a big figure in the future supply of America. Officials at Washington say that in less than 20 years, if the increase continues at the present rate, there will be more than 2,000,000 prime beef reindeer in Alaska, upon which the people of America can depend for much of their flesh diet in the future. Reindeer meat is now considered a delicacy by epicures, and is only sold at leading hotels and restaurants. In flavor the meat is a cross between mutton and beef, but is even more palatable than either. Reindeer can be raised for the market much more cheaply than cattle, because they will thrive on wastes so barren that even goats would starve to death. Their principal food is the moss, which grows only in the far north. There are more than 40,000 square miles of frozen tundra, or moss-covered ground, in Alaska now fit for nothing, but if Monarch of Reindeer Herd. the latest scheme of Uncle Sam's pans out as expected this immense territory will be available for reindeer ranches and can provide abundant pasturage for 10,000,000 or more of the animals. About ten years ago Uncle Sam started his experiment of raising reindeer in Alaska with a herd of 1,200 animals. Now there are more than 30,000 in the same herd. At that time he was the hope of the authorities at Washington and the Eskimo and the native Indians of the north to become self-supporting citizens. That was and still is the basic idea of the whole experiment. MAN HALTS RUNAWAY TRAIN Fireman Braves Death to Stop Passenger After Engineer Is Overcome by Steam. New Brunswick, N. J.—A fast train on eastern line was a "runaway" for a few moments when, on the way from New York to Philadelphia, the engineer lay scaled and senseless in his cab from escaping steam, and there was no controlling hand at the throttles. The presence of mind and pluck of the fireman, Joseph Garrett, averted a probable wreck of the train, running sixty miles an hour and crowded with passengers. Beyond this city one of the driving shafts snapped and part of the rod was hurled through a boiler seption. There was a rush of steam and Engineer Frank Barber was enveloped and overcome before he could put his hand to the throttle. Garrett, with the train speeding madly on, climbed over to the engineer's side of the cab and, although nearly blinded, managed to get to the throttle. The train was brought to a halt quickly then, near monmouth Junction, where Barber was cared for. His condition is serious. None of the passengers on the train had known any danger threatened. IS CAUGHT BY THUMB PRINT Man Who Killed Girl in Germany is Put Under Arrest After a Long Search. Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany—The bloody imprint of a thumb upon the body a girl stabbed to death has led to the detection and confession of the murderer here. Joseph Rupp was arrested for fighting in a saloon. Ever since the murder of the girl the police have examined the thumb prints of anyone arrested. Over 400 were on hand, but when Rupp's thumb print was taken it was quickly recognized as identical with that on the body of the girl. Confronted with it, he confessed. He had robbed the house and killed the girl to prevent alarm. Price is Already $4 a Case Higher in Austria and May Increase More. Vienna.—As a result of the Balkan war there is an age range Vienna.
