UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WEEK'S NEWS Summarized for Very Busy Readers Washington President Wilson, Secretary of War Garrison, Secretary of the Navy Daniels and others went out on the presidential yacht Mayflower off the Virginia capes and witnessed the target practice of the great battleships of the Atlantic fleet. The state department at Washington denied the application of Harry K. Thaw, who claimed that his deportation from Canada allowed upon the treaties between the United States and Great Britain and asked an investigation. The state department will take no further part in the matter. Officials of the treasury department at Washington are at sea to know what congress actually meant by the provision of the new tariff law allowing a five per cent. reduction of duties on goods imported in American ships. One would be a horizontal reduction of five per cent. in the tariff for importation and involves probably $10,000,000 in revenue for the government, creating a deficit instead of a surplus in treasury. The federal government's effort to prove the "grandfather clause" of the Oklahoma constitution violates the federal Constitution was begun in the Supreme court at Washington.

Ryan, son of the New York financier and traction magnate. "Sulzer was willing to do whatever was right," said Ryan. Louis A. Sarecky, the governor's campaign secretary, shouldering the blame for the omission of unreported contributions from the governor's campaign statement, confessed he had imitated the governor's signature to deceive a bank. Race riots impended for a time in Romeo, Ill., and the surrounding portion of Will county after a negro had been shot and killed and the village jail had been partly wrecked. John Winfield, a giant negro, battered in the lockup door in an attempt to free his intoxicated wife.

ALASKA TOWN WIPED OUT BY WIND STORM Over 500 Houses in Nome Are Destroyed, but No Lives Are Lost. Name, Alaska—Nome has been almost destroyed by a storm. All the south side of Front-st is gone. The Sandspit is gone. Two miles of territory next to the sea was devastated. No lives were lost. The storm that Sunday night began beating in from Bering sea was the worst ever known here. Men and women worked all night in the icy water to save their household effects. The electric light plant was wrecked and telephone service cut off. The loss is estimated at a million and a half dollars. There will be much suffering, and outside help will be required. Winter is at hand and it will be impossible to get in supplies needed. The steamships Victoria and Corwin, which were lying in the roadstead, ran to the open sea and escaped damage. All the small boats on the beach were destroyed. Five hundred houses have been demolished and more are falling. Name, the famous gold camp on Bering sea, the most northerly city in the world, was built on a sandy sea beach. Of late years the sands have been worked out and little except dredging operations, which require large capital, is being done. Name has produced more than $25,000,000 in gold dust. The summer population is about 4,000, and in winter 2,000 remain. An attempt will be made to get supplies from Seattle by revenue cutters and take away needy persons who wish to leave. GIRL IS BRUTALLY SLAIN Almost Nude Body of Young Woman Who Had Been Attacked and Strangled to Death Is Found. Chicago, Ill.—The almost nude body of a young woman who had been attacked and strangled to death was found on the prairie at 71st-st and S. 40th-ay, near Argo. From cards and papers found nearby, from the initial "L" on a handkerchief and from a mason from Mason City, Ia., asking her to come there at once, it was learned that the body is that of Mrs. Ida Leegson, a graduate of the University of Chicago, who studied art at the art institute last summer and who was a native of Oshkosh, Wis. The condition of the body and the clothing and the trampled ground nearby indicates that the girl met the most fearful fate that can befall a woman. Her clothing was literally torn from her body and scattered along the road for 200 feet. Capture Federal Army. Washington, D. C.—The state department has received the important news that the army of Carranza had routed and captured practically the whole army of Huerta in the central west at Los Mochis, an important town on the western coast of Mexico. The rebel general sent a column of 1,000 men against Los Mochis, which was occupied by 500 entrenched federalists. The engagement lasted for about 10 days, when the rebels captured the town and its army. Pray as Man Is Rescued. Centralia, Pa.—Thomas Tosheky, the miner who was liberated from his underground prison at the Continental mine, after being entombed for eight days, felt so good that he attended church at Mt. Carmel and joined in a general prayer that was offered on account of his rescue. The little Lithuanian church was crowded to its capacity, and those who could not gain entrance to the building stood with bared heads around the lawn and offered up thanks. BOASTS OF HIS MANY MURDERS STRANGLED, SHOT, BEAT AND DROWNED PEOPLE Confessed Slayer Says "Sometimes You Can Trust a Living Man, Never a Living Woman; I Hate All of Them." Chicago, Oct. 7.—“Sometimes you can trust a living man—never a living woman. I hate them, all of them. It seems that I could look into the living woman their lyrical brains and watch them scheming against me. It makes me sore—so I play the hand out with them, pat them on the cheek and then lovers’ names and kill them.” That was the kernel of the long, impassioned, bitter answer made by Henry Spencer when he was asked the other lyrical brains and watch them scheming against them? For Spencer had confessed that at least the lyrical brains had his wholesale murder confession were women. Spencer’s usually pale, opium-bucket-like face pale, color toward a pale, as he spoke. For the first time since his arrest he showed passion, clinched his flats, waved his arms, then as his outburst came around he told the quiet, coldly resentful attitude he had previously held. Knew the whole world was against him! I knew too, that the women were the slimmest of my enemies—and I made them pay for it. Young ones, trying to look simple and innocent; concerted; amusing and charming thought I was a poor not worth treating seriously; ‘gold diggers’ that kissed me and asked me what I had in the bank—the whole man that was found with them, never yet found in the piled square. Well, I’m even with them—most of them.” Chicago—of the eleven murders avowed by Henry Spencer, alias James Burke, were officially declared by the police to have been fixed upon him beyond the perpendure of a doubt. Witnesses identify Prisoner. Four witnesses identified him as the man who lured Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat from Chicago to Wayne on Sept. 26. His statement that he killed Mrs. Annabel Wight at 2150 De Kalb-st last December was borne out by the police records, which say that Mrs. Wight was beaten on the head many times in her rooming house with a hammer and was picked up unconscious, dying from her wounds in the hospital. The police report had it that she was robbed of $50 by a man who came to hire a room from her, whereas Spencer says he got $435. Of this $35 was in her handbag and $400 in be-stocking. After eight hours of unremitting examination and cross-examination in which Spencer was given the third degree by Chief of Detectives John J. Halpin and Assistant States Attorney Michael F. Sullivan, the slayer was obliged to admit that he had nothing to do with three of the 18 murders of which he had persistently boasted. Strangled, Snot, Used Hammer. As to the 15 other murders, including those of Mildred Allison-Rexroat, Mrs. Annabell Wight, a girl he remembers only as "Nellie," whom he lured from New York to Fort Montgomery; Mamie Bertram and a French girl named Jeannette, whom he met at Delavan Lake, Wis.; a French-Canadian woman from Nova Scotia whom he killed at Walkerville, Ontario; two Dowleites whom he killed and robbed at Zion City, two girls whom he killed at Paw Paw Lake, and Bessie Connors, whom he killed at St. Joseph, Mich., and whose body he threw in the lake, he strenuously insisted that his story was true, and that he really murdered all these persons either by strangling, shooting, using the hammer on their heads and throwing them into the water. PUTS BLAME ON ROAD PUTS BLAME ON ROAD Coroner's Jury Holds Company Responsible for Collision in Which Four Were Killed. New York City.—A coroner's jury found the Long Island Railroad Co. responsible for the collision between two trains at College Point, L. I., Sept. 22, in which four persons were killed and nearly 50 injured. In returning this verdict the jury exonerated William B. Maize, signal tower man at Flushing Meadows, who had been held under $10,000 bail. Maize was discharged from custody and the jury's verdict was given to the district attorney for use in a grand jury investigation. Remembers Heroine Carlisle, Pa.—Mrs. Samuel Sipe, who was a child friend of Mollie Pitcher and a resident of Carlisle for 94 years, has just celebrated her 101st birthday anniversary here. Mrs. Sipe vividly recalls history spanning a century and is in possession of all of her faculties. She recalls Molly Pitcher, the heroine of Monmouth, and refutes the assertion that she is buried in any other place than in Carlisle, where memorials have been placed over the woman's grave. Mrs. Ogleys, wife of the new congressman from New York, spent the entire summer in Washington and is about to visit her husband's parents at Orange Lake, Fla. Mrs. Ogleys is considered one of the most attractive members of the congressional circle in the national capital. SULZER'S FRIEND TALKS Assumes Responsibility for Every Material Act Charged in Article of Impeachment. Albany, N. Y.—Louis A. Sarecky Tuesday afternoon supplied for Gov. William Sulzer full and sweeping defense before the high court of impeachment during which he left the witness stand to assume the role of "Jim, the Penman," long enough to write the governor's name four times to prove that he and not the governor had signed many of the tell-tale check indorsements that beset the path of the defense. Sarecky assumed responsibility for every material act relating to the article of impeachment, which charges the governor with making a false campaign statement to the secretary of state. Sarecky swore that the governor told him it made no difference who signed the statement so long as it complied with the law. "I went outside and worked on the statement for a day and a half," Sarecky testified, "and brought it to Gov. Sulzer. He signed it and I took it to the notary and he signed it and mailed it to the secretary of state." Sarecky added that Sulzer did not read the statement and had nothing to do with preparing it. RILEY'S POEM TO CHILDREN Indianapolis, Ind.—The above was written by James Whitcomb Riley especially for the school children of the state as a token of his appreciation of their interest in his birthday, celebrated in practically all the schools of Indiana Tuesday. It is the Hoosier poet's first composition since his illness two years ago. In addition to exercises in the schools here, more than 4,000 children paraded past the poet's home in Lockerbie-st in the morning. One Killed, Four Hurt. Bath, N. B. —One dead, another perhaps fatally injured, and three other persons suffering minor injuries is the result of an accident which occurred near the head of Lake Keuka, where Lincoln Beachey, the daring and noted aviator, was about to attempt to execute a somersault with his aeroplane. Miss Ruth Hildreth was killed outright, her sister Dorothy was critically injured, Lieuts. Richardson and Bellinger of the United States navy aviation corps and Mr. Beachey himself suffered cuts, bruises and sprains. Boston, Mass.—That bank burglary is still a flourishing industry was indicated today in the report of the standing protective committee of the American Bankers' association, which is holding its thirty-ninth annual convention here. During the past year the banks of the country were robbed of $171,418.42. According to the report there were between Sept. 1, 1912, and Aug. 31, 1913, 39 burglaries or attempted burglaries of banks which are members of the association, and 100 burglars of banks outside.

WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND HISTORICAL SECURITY SI SBY AFRO TE SINGLE CO AFRO-AMERICA AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Fifty years ago Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing 4,000,000 slaves. He did it as a war measure, intended to cripple the states of the Confederacy. Today 10,000,000 Afro-Americans in this country are celebrating the semi-centennial anniversary of Lincoln's proclamation. What have these 50 years of freedom done for the colored man? A glance over the exhibits shown at the buildings of the Emancipation celebration, at Broad street and Oregon avenue, helps to answer this question. More than 20 inventions, many of which have made their inventors rich men, a library containing 800 books of every description, written by colored authors; exhibits educational, medical, industrial and social, all make a striking impression illustrating the native capacity of the African race. The buildings house virtually every type of exhibit shown in the most advanced industrial exhibitions. Perhaps the most interesting are those showing the inventive genius of the colored people of this state. Most of these inventions come from the western part of the state, where the foundries, coal fields and gigantic factories offer the best opportunity to men who desire their own betterment. S. R. Simmons began life as one of a family of ten, living in a little cottage in Monongahela. He obtained some primary education, but the necessity for taking up the broad struggle was thrust upon him at an early age. He became a laborer in one of the great foundries of the town. That was more than 20 years ago. Today there is scarcely a piece of steel cast in Pennsylvania which is not rendered more perfect by the use of casting of S. R. Simmons' casting nozzle. Today, in addition to having invented a number of appliances which materially lessen the labor in the foundries, Simmons is the owner of a foundry in his native town and enjoys the distinction of being the only colored foundry proprietor in the state. Simmons cast the exact model of the Liberty Bell, which is one of the first exhibits seen by visitors as they enter the grounds. This model was made by him expressly for use during the exhibition, and when it is over will be presented to the Bethel Afro-American church at Sixth and Lombard streets. This is said to be the only exact reproduction of the Liberty Bell in existence. Simmons made the model himself, doing all the preliminary draughting work and making the mold with his own hands. In the Lancaster county exhibit stand is a small but perfectly made cannon, capable of firing three-inch shells. This gun was made by a colored man of Lancaster, Pa., who has never had any education of a technical nature. Another invention attributed to the same person is a three-barreled repeating rifle. There are numbers of other exhibits in the Lancaster county stand, including specimens of household work, agricultural productions and industrial activity. One corner of one of the two buildings is partitioned off. Within stands the complete equipment of a small newspaper office. Every piece of machinery in this inclusion was made by colored workmen. It is proposed to publish a daily paper with this plant. The first issue of the Emancipation News will appear tomorrow morning. The paper is to be edited The world’s supply of emery comes from Greek islands and from Asia Minor. Exportation has been lessened within the last year because of the Balkan trouble. A complete steam engine mounted on two wheels and light enough to be handled by two men, has been invented in England for suburban and private use. The United States has an enormous appetite for Swiss cheese. About 25 per cent. of all the Swiss cheese produced comes to this country. In 1912 some 64 new industrial enterprises were founded in Spain, capitalized at sums aggregating more than $21,000,000. The Swedish government operates public employment bureaus. Their services are free of charge. A sailing vessel built 103 years ago recently began another voyage from England to South Africa. To some women a clear complexion seems to be of more consequence than a clear conscience. Railways of the world at the close of 1911 represented a total capitalization of $50,950,229,364. Utah made a record last year by mining more than 3,000,000 tons of coal for the first time. Monteviedo university, Uruguay, recently paid $51,700 for a half grain of radium. --- by various colored editors who are attending the convention. Another invention of interest exhibited is a model coke-drawing machine, invented and patented by John Hayes, of Unfontown. This machine is at present in use in most of the large blast furnaces of western Pennsylvania. It is said that by the use of this invention one man is enabled to do the work of 100. One of the most interesting of the exhibits is the library. In this exhibit stand the shelves are lined with more than 800 books on every conceivable topic written and published by colored persons. Many of these have been lent to the exhibition commission by the Congressional library. Others, some 400 in number, were obtained from the National library of Halti through the efforts of Dr. William Furness, American minister to Halti. Many of the works are written in French, German and Spanish. The school exhibit occupies nearly one end of the main building. In this the manual work done by colored students of the following schools is shown: The Durham, Reynolds, Gill, Pollock, Meehan and Wilmot schools in this city, and the public schools of Lancaster, Pittsburgh, Sunbury, Harrisburg and a dozen other Pennsylvania cities. The work shown includes tables, chairs, stools, desks book racks and shelves and a number of other articles. The Berean School of Manual and Industrial Training has a separate exhibit showing every type of manufactured article. This is a local institution, whose building is at 1834 South College avenue. Next to the school exhibit is the are gallery. Although the pictures shown are far from being the equal of the mechanical and school exhibits in displaying intellectual development, several are remarkable for an original grasp of their subjects, compensating for the lack of accurate technique. The majority of these deal with racial subjects, denoting allegorically the advance of the African race in the last fifty years. Unquestionably the best work shown was by George W. Clinton and Lorenzo Harris, of this city. Both have studied abroad for several years. One of the most interesting of the exhibits was that of the doctors, nurses and social service workers. In one angle of the building was a completely equipped "baby saving" show. In another part of the same exhibit a stand was devoted to a series of colored charts showing the progress of the race for the last fifty years. The Berean school is also exhibiting an industrial department. In this 20 girls sit at sewing machines and turn out shirtwists and other articles of wearing apparel. Another part of this industrial stand is the wood working department where men and boys make furniture before the eyes of the spectators.—Philadelphia Record. A new English mine rescue apparatus does away with the helmet and weighs only 28 pounds, with it a man can work in deadly gases more than five hours. A girl doesn't consider herself a full fledged woman until she has knocked a corner off at least one man's heart. Shafts sunk into a coal field in Germany which has been burning several years revealed 18 veins of blazing coal. There has been a large increase in the number of Chinese newspapers since the revolution in that country. Shanghai alone now has 24 newspapers. Glasgow corporation tramways carried during the last financial year 270,000,000 passengers, an increase of 38,000,000 over the previous year. The Balkan war has brought about a rise in certain lumber prices in Europe because of the big demand for wood for ammunition boxes. Gold is being mined at a depth of more than 5,000 feet in South Africa, and it is believed that the shafts can be sunk 3,000 feet more. Venice is wrestling with the peculiar problem of a rapidly increasing population without being able to enlarge the city. Many a woman can't remember what her husband said when he proposed, because she did the proposing. Spain annually eats 747,287,221 pounds of meat, valued at $105,308,836, mostly beef. In 1911 Spain lost 139,683 persons by emigration. Most of them went to Argentina. The consumption of coffee in France has just about doubled in the last fifty years. There are 5,187 steam laundries in the United States employing 109,484 persons.

Cleveland SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1913. Sir Sydney Oliver certainly struck the "keynote" in discussing America's so-called "Negro Problem" at South ampton, England, on Oct. 2. The Gazette is indebted to its hustling and newsy contemporary, the Chicago Defender, for the splendid group-portrait of Jack Johnson and party, published in our current issue. The Cleveland Plain Dealer and other democratic daily papers of the country, are making a vain effort to "bolster up" the Wilson administration among our people. It's too big a job for even newspapers to accomplish. A retired methodist minister (white), a regular reader of The Gazette, in a letter to its editor recently, said among other things: "I admire your stand on the Luna Park matter, and fully agree with you in objecting to 'jim-crow' Y. M. C. A.'s separate race public schools and government race discrimination laws," he wrote. "These things for years, in Baltimore, here in Norfolk, Va., and here in my home. But Colored people invariably draw the color-line themselves and then insist upon its recognition by refusing to quality themselves (as a people) to uphold and theet the efforts made for racial equality." "The 'special request' the Colored 'Boy Scouts' here were 'set aside.'" Comment, unnecessary. As we have said, 'saw the "jm-crow" Negro is the leader of the --- Dr. Booker T. Washington's address before the National Baptist convention at Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 19, is decidedly the best effort, from a racial standpoint, he has ever made that we have been able to note. It was really remarkable, and yet a temperate appeal to our people, particularly of the south, to get together and oppose, in a proper way, the many unjust and very harmful, oppressive color lines and other racial barriers based on color or race, or both. He referred, particularly, to the discrimination along educational lines; on railroad trains, and in the street-cars of the south, etc. There is nothing Mr. Washington can do that will so quickly and thoroughly disarm his enemies in the race, than a continuance of this new and splendid effort, on his part, so auspiciously begun at Nashville, last month. DOPED AND DUPED? The campaign promise of the national Democracy—the only one that everybody remembers—was that the high cost of living would be reduced by a revision of the tariff. Now, although revision is completed, all food being free-listed, the Wilson Administration asks a special investigation by Congress, during its regular session "to discover ways through which the burden of the steadily increasing cost of food be lifted from the masses." This constitutes a confession that the president does not expect his tariff to reduce the cost of the largest item in the cost of living, and thereby gives the painful feeling that we have been duped. THE I. & R. IS A JOKE In a leading editorial of the Cincoln natl Enquirer we read: "If the attorney general is right the people of Ohio, after providing for the initiative and referendum, find themselves in a peculiar and intolerable position of having given to a single state officer the power to declare when petitions are valid or invalid, which means that the whole system of the initiative and referendum is at the mercy of this single official. He can prevent the object of all legislation on the subject at will. Elections can be held under the system only as it please him to hold them. He is higher than the courts and beyond reach of the people; and as the result of this autocratic power the system itself must be a failure. "If on the other hand, the contention, that the decision of the secretary of state may be reversed by the courts, is correct, the fact still remains that fraud in the circulation of the petitions may invalidate a referendum election, since the courts might and probably would sustain the state department as to the facts. Therefore any referendum election may be invalidated by fraud in the petition committed for the very purpose of invalidating them. If that be true, and it manifestly is true, whichever horn of this legal dilemma we THE FIRST WORLD WAR This is the first picture published by any newspaper of the champion and his wife since his exit from the United States. Facing the champion, with back half turned towards you, can be seen Joe Levi, his private secretary. Facing the champion with straw hat is Lord Pettiford, multi-take—the whole scheme of the initiative and referendum is inherently weak and ineffective. A system so inefficient that fraud can be written into it at any time, to such an extent as to defeat its operation, cannot be a product of statesmanship. It is a joke." The Sandusky Register, on the same topic, says: "The people of Ohio are learning that Governor Harmon was wiser than his party and his generation, when he told the delegates to the constitutional convention two years ago to go slow in adopting the initiative and referendum demanded by the ultra progressives of both parties. His warning went unheeded for the people were going mad on reform and he was roundly denounced in the public press and by both democrats and republicans and dubbed an old fogy. Recent developments in this state have shown that the governor's warning was timely and if the same proposition were before the voters today, it would be overwhelmingly defeated. The very first opportunity which the people of the state have been given to register their will through the referendum, has been shamefully prostituted, and has brought to the state one of the most disgraceful public scandals in its history. Not a new law have the people yet vetoed, while wholesale forgery and barefaced perjury, in getting referendum petitions, have been supplemented by burglary. Scores of hired sleuths with detectophones have been employed by order of those who were the chief advocate of the referendum proposition two years ago—men who made their campaign largely on the strength of that proposition—to run up and down the state and secure evidence to prove that the referendum is a cheat and a fraud, the method of rascals and fakers to secure or defeat legislation as the case may be. The people of Ohio have been compelled to witness the disgraceful exhibition of messengers carrying referendum petitions to file in the state house who were surrounded by squads of detectives and body guards, and now the civil courts are called upon to determine whether honest voters shall have the right to register their will by petition, and the criminal courts are appealed to to determine whether referendum thieves and referendum stuffers are punishable by law. This is the situation which confronts the people of Ohio, Governor Harmon was right. It has taken only one trial of the law to prove he was right." The Governor Appreciative. State of Ohio.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—In common with others, I always want our people to get all the money (honestly by they can, especially if they save some money for the day)—but I am pleased to say that I did not notice a member of the race acting as a target for thrown balls at the Ohio State fair at Columbus, as I did at the North Randall fair, near Cleveland recently. Don't you think that Negro should be a target for other than soft balls? To be fair to himself and other members of the race, bricks and not balls should be used. What do you think of it? If you cannot, make it difficult for him to secure a job at N, Randall in the future. (By all means do so.—Editor.) Most of Them Do. "So a genealogist is looking up that politician's family tree."

C.—The American colonization society, the only private corporation in history that ever succesfully established an independent nation, has paid to its ward, Liberia Africa, more than $60,000, the increment of an idle fund, for the education of the children of the republic. The fund was the bequest of Caroline Donovon (white) of Baltimore, devised twenty-seven years ago for the purpose, but it had not been possible to arrange for the proper disbursement of the interest. In addition to the $60 paid Oct. 7 of Convalescent Ernest Lyon of Liberia, by Dr. Henry L. Johnson (white), president of the society, the annual interest on the fund hereafter will be used to pay in aiding Afro-Americans desirous of emigrating to Liberia. MAKES NO APPEAL! Albany, O. Oct. 1, 1912. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir.-There exists an outrageous persistent possession whose former major resided in the southern states; an element that has sought by every possible meaning to erect and sustain barriers that would hold Colored people in subjection. This element has sought to do this largely by influencing northern sympathizers. The south has possessed the superior master in the north to help in the subjugation of the Colored race. Southern proselytism has not completely failed to accomplish the desire which it has attempted, and in which it is encouraged to persist. Many of those in the north who espoused the cause of 1856-1865 now call that glorious and righteous cause "sectionalism." By this change of ownership, loyalty to humanity and duty? Because of the persistent, permitted and accepted influence of the above-said outrageous element upon the north. Many of those in the north are now ashamed of the glorious old cause of freedom for which they fought. A few of them would deny it if they could. They shake hands and move again. "They would not do again that which they have done. Permanently they no longer consider it a righteous cause. Ruling public opinion has now reached the segregation stage, and is being served to "our brother in black" at the Washington headquarters. Says one writer. There are many northern senators and representatives who will not care a fig what the president does in the matter of segregation." But, "A 'jim-crow' form of government makes no appeal to fair-minded citizens." R. W. E. FERGUSON. Joe Jeannette "outpointed" Sam Langford in his ten-round bout New York's 100th week Friday evening.

An Eminent Englishman Tells America to call him "The Problem." Southampton, Eng.-Racial and international problems replaced the sex question in the discussions of the Church of England Congress, Oct. 2. The consideration of both of these problems led to rather sane utterances by the speakers. Sir Sydney Oliver, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, said truly that no solution of the American problem was a resolve disclaimer of the color line and the race differentiation theory. He expressed the opinion that negrophobia was in mixed communities one of the most active sources of danger. "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men have been the most active evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their political programs. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian, and, above all, race differentiation. We race differentiation held to, it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South America, it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediate civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. I do not suggest that race differentiation is for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race differences is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." E. D. Morel, Canon William Leighton Crane and Sir Ernest Satow were the other speakers.

The Pirates have played only one double bill at home this season. Fred Falkenberg will manage bowling alleys in Cleveland this winter. Chance says he feels that the dark days for the Highlanders are over. Houston is a repeater in the Texas league, having won both the 1912 and 1913 pennants. Jimmy Isaminger of Philadelphia says that Ping Bodle is Connie Mack's Nemesis. Jake Stahl cannot play baseball because the arch of his foot has broken down. Burns, the Montreal catcher with the Phillies, is a little fellow, but looks like a find. Both Lefty Leifield and Orvie Overall are doing fine work for the San Francisco Seals. Chief Meyers of the Giants has made more errors than any other backstop in the league. The reports from Boston that McAler and McKroy will have to sell their holdings refuse to down. Miller Huggins, the leader of the lowly Cards, has hopes of having a great pitching staff next season. The Detroit club is said to be angling for the services of George Stovall to replace Del Gainer on first. The Boston Red Sox believe that Terry Turner of the Naps is the best third baseman in the Business today. The chances are that there will be no changes in the managerial roster of the National league for next year. Many baseball scribes believe that Jack Barry is the most important cog that the Connie Mack machine owns. The Toronto club of the International league will train with the New York Giants next spring, at Marlin, Tex. In a recent game against the Yankees at Washington, Walter Johnson retired the side on four pitched balls. Manager Chance of the Yankees has practically made up his mind to train his squad at Houston, Tex., next spring. A St. Louis scribe says the Browns are going to rise next year. So are the Cardinals. Next year is like tomorrow. Manager Carlton Molesworth of the Birmingham club of the Southern league has signed to manage the team in 1914. Harney Dreyfuss, Pirate owner, will not permit any of his players to accompany the Glants and Sox on their world's tour. Billy Grayson, who started in a short time ago to rip some of the magnates up the back, has quit all of a sudden. Even with a weak team behind him, Pitcher Ray Caldwell of the Highlanders has done remarkable hurling this season. Manager Mack is still purchasing young talent. He has bought Pitcher Waring of the Saratoga team of Troy, N. Y. McGraw believes that Jack Murray, his right-felder, has as good a throwing arm as any gardener in the National league. Larry Lajole has been a "bean ball target" this season. Larry has had the misfortune to get in the way of 12 pitched balls while standing at bat. The Mackmen, in Struck and Danny and Eddie Murphy, have the only .300 outfield in the country. Melennis, Collinna and Baker make one shy of a .300 infield. George Davis, at one time one of the best infielders in the big leagues, considers Walter Johnson about the smoothest piece of baseball machinery he has ever seen. Ned Egan is making quite a reputation as a minor league manager. Three successive times has Egan and his Ottumwa team copped the pennant in the Central association. George Davis, at one time one of the best infielders in the big leagues, considers Walter Johnson about the smoothest piece of baseball machinery he has ever seen. There are a number of players, mostly pitchers, who are named the same as automobiles. Here is a list of them: Baker, Thomas, Woold, Benz, White, Ford, Mitchell, Cole, Chalmers, Smith, Pierce, Packard and Jackson. When Eddie Flank was asked the other day if he had enemies he immediately replied: "Yes, I have an enemy. Age is my only enemy." Eddie admits that Father Time is creeping on him. THE MASTER Charles Albert Comiskey, president and owner of the Chicago White Sox, was born in Chicago. Aug. 15, 1858. The "Old Roman," as Comiskey is affectionately known, began his baseball career in 1878 with the Dubuque, Ia. team. In 1882 he joined the St. Louis Browns, then in the American association, and in 1883 he was made manager of the team. In 1885-1886 the Browns, under his management, defeated the Chicago White Stockings for the world's championship. Comiskey remained with St. Louis until 1890, when he took charge of the Player's league club in Chicago. He returned to St. Louis in 1891, and in 1892 went to Cincinnati, where he managed the Reds until 1895. That year he placed a Western league team in St. Paul, transferring it to Chicago in 1900 and joining the American league. Under Comiskey's own ownership the Chicago White Sox have won three American league championships and one world's championship. As a first baseman Comiskey had no superior, and as a big league magnate he is hailed everywhere as the prince of club owners. Tris Speaker, is the best outfielder in the American league, says Joe Jackson. "He can do anything," adds the Cleveland demon. Connie Mack has claimed the American league pennant for next year by saying he expects to have, the best team of his career next year. First Baseman Dugan, in a game between Decatur and Quincy at Quincy on August 28, had but one put out in the nine innings of play. Clyde Engle of the Red Sox will go to Cuba this winter to manage a team at Matanzas. He may take several players from the states with him. SPORTING WORLD There are 59,499 stallions registered. Berkeley (Cal.) society women have organized a polo team. Boston and Washington, D. C., are to have new athletic clubs called the Irish-American A. C. Honus Wagner's Carnegie basketball team will hold a franchise in the West Penn league of Pittsburgh. Duluth public schools will compete in sectional football leagues, the two winners battling for the championship. "Toll". Pendleton, the ex-Princeton star athlete, will coach the University of North Carolina football eleven this season. Yale will construct a 200-foot long artificial hockey rink on the college grounds. The sixth annual Middle West Bowling association tournament will open in St. Louis next Thanksgiving day. W. H. Walker has refused an offer of $150,000 for the stallion, White Eagle, who is standing at the Tully stud in Ireland. Ray Lamke, star football and basketball player at Northwestern university for the last three years, has accepted a position as assistant football coach at Allegheny college, Meadville, Pa. We learn that Harry Vardon is some driver, but weak on the putting game. Which reminds you that Rube Marquard broke into the big league with a fast ball and no control. University of Wisconsin physical training department summer school has 200 students taking up courses in which they intend to teach. Football and soccer are very popular. Intercollegiate rules for 1913 show few changes from the code used in the 1912 season. The majority of the changes are purely technical and will have little effect on the game. Australasia is teaching boys the strokes of lawn tennis playing, so that the commonwealth day put in the field each year a stranger and better prepared team to go after the Davis cup. W. R. Applegarth, the English spinner, has erased Donald Lippincott's Scottish record of 221-5 seconds for 220 yards around a turn, which the University of Pennsylvania star established last year. Applegarth covered the distance in 22 seconds flat at Glasgow recently. Bombadier Wells, heavyweight boxing champion of England, retrieved his previous defeat at the hands of "Gunner" Jim Moir, the ex-champion, by knocking him out in the fifth round of a fight at London.

To Be Deplored Because Trend of Season's Costumes Has Been All for Beauty and Grace—Newest Models Show Absolutely Natural Lir.s. PARIS.—At this time of the year a dress expert may learn a great deal from the fashions seen at Blairitz, writes Claude Cherys in the Washington Post. I do not mean the fashions displayed on the Grande Plage or the Casino, but those shown privately in the ateliers of the great Paris dressmakers who have branch establishments at this particular seaside resort. From the point of view of dress Blairritz in the month of September resembles Monte Carlo in the month of February. At both these fashion centers the newest and most exclusive models are shown before they are shown in Paris, and the reason is not difficult to find. The members of the court circles of Spain all meet at Blairritz and San Sebastian in the months of August and September. They return to Madrid early in October, and they then take back with them a generous supply of dresses, wraps, etc., for the winter season. Now, the pretty Spanish woman is devoted to dress, and she demands everything of the latest and newest. More than this, she is eclectic in her taste, even though she sometimes inclines toward brilliant colors and gorgeous details. She is, as a rule, very rich; she is always ready to pay well for that which is really original and becoming. For all these reasons, the Spanish beauties are beloved by the autocrats of the Rue de la Paix. Protest Called For. I have been making a series of visits to the notable Parisian dressmakers and tailors who have branch attorneys in Blairitz. I have been careful studying the novelties displayed by each one; and I have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to enter early in the fall and winter seasons, a word of strong protest. We have arrived at a memorable moment in the history of dress. We have quietly, almost unconciously, reached a period in which the female form divine is displayed to perfection, because it is displayed gracefully and naturally. All through the summer our women of fashion have been wearing tri-corset corsets and swathed ceintures, which permitted the waist to assume a perfectly normal outline. And the corsages, as well as the cleverly draped skirts which have been adopted by the more exclusive Parisiennes, have been eminently graceful and even classic. Notwithstanding all the tests which have been called up by foolish women who take delight in attracting unpleasant attention and who bear no real relationship with women of fashion in the right sense of the words, we have arrived at a period in the history of dress which is very nearly ideal. Atrocious Fashion. ATTRIBUTION Never have women looked prettier nor more graceful than this year. Never have their dresses and mantles more clearly impressed the feminine not which is so entirely desirable. All was well in the world of dress, and it is distressing to find that certain Parisian dressmakers are giving countenance to a fashion which can only be described as an atroctly. I am not aluding to the growing tendency in Paris in certain circles to bear the outline of the figure below the waist; to give it that peculiar and most unsightly curve outward which was adopted last summer by one or two Parisian actresses and which became a sort of fashion. Last summer it was rather the thing in some circles to stand in a loose, dislocated pose, to throw out the stomach—for I am obliged to use the real word—and to throw in the back. It was absurd, but as a passing fat people laughed good-natured at it. But this autumn it is unfortunately true that some of our leading Parisian dressmakers are trying, and hard hard, to make this horrible and ridiculous outward wear permanent fashion, they are even going so hard that pad the corsets in order that the figure, may seem to outward below the waist line in front. Designated as: Disgusting. Now this is simply disgusting! More than that, it is inartic and meaningless. Twenty or thirty years ago it was the fashion to wear a hideous thing called a "bustle." If old photographs are to be relied on these outrageous affairs completely destroyed the beauty of the feminine outline. But they were quickly laughed out of existence. Since then we are supposed to have made some progress in matters of art and dress. We are supposed to have reached a period in the world's history in which true estheticism has its own appointed place; in which it is the duty, as well as the pleasure, of the designer to follow the indications of nature and to give to the feminine form all that Wearing Loren Pork Limb. Dr. A. L. Soresl, a New York surgeon, a few days ago remarked that he hopes shortly to be able to prove that it is possible graft new limbs on human beings to replace lost ones, using limbs from persons not long dead. No—we cannot dispute his ability to do this thing, nor the possibility of it, for there are too many wonders dally coming to pass that were but yesterday believed impossibilities. But won't it be rather—er—uncanny, to say the least, to go around wear NEW FALL GOWN. Model of dark blue corduroy with panel of moire ribbon. Collar and cuffs of brocaded satin. Blouse trimmed with lace. is due to it. In short, we are supposed to have realized that a woman's dress ought to be stricly personal; that it ought to permit her to move her limbs freely and ought to accentuate her finest features. This is common sense; it is also artistic sense. We have reached this desirable period, and we are now going to cast our artistic aspirations to the winds at the blinding of those persons who are merely seeking for startling novelties and for cheap advertisements? No-no-no! Deserves to Be Hooted. I protest against this new, so-called "fashion." I shall never cease to protest against it. The woman who accepts a corset which has been designedly fashioned into an outward curve in front below the waist line deserves to be hooted in the streets. The persons who hooted her would have all my sympathy. I saw this week one of the newest fall models. The material of this dress was velours de laine in a deep shade of bordeaux red. Velours de laine is one of the favorite materials of the year, and it is being made in all the rich shades of purple, puce, red and blue. This material combines well with bands of fox or sable, and it will be very much used for tailored suits when the winter season sets in. The peculiar upon effect is now and will be seen, on some of the more exclusive models this fall. In the model indicated this volumulent apron was buttoned over a tunic of rich black lace bordered with sable. The corsage was fashioned in blouse form, and the folded waistband was made of dull silk in the same shade as the dress material. The big button at the back was made of deep red enamel and cut jet, and there was a buckle to match on the front of the cinture. Absolutely Natural Lines. The bust and waist lines are absolutely natural. The hips are neither compressed nor accentuated; they also are natural. And it is this pose which is to be made ridiculous by the intervention of sensation hunters. The material of this dress was charmeuse, in the new shade of puce, which has more than a tinge of red in it. The skirt was moderately wide at the hem and it had a shaped flounce which gave a slight hoop effect. Then the short tunic was made of crepe de chine in the same shade as the charmeuse, while the softly folded bands of silk which circled hips and waist were in Egyptian blue peau de sole. The sleeves were absurdly short, almost like the sleeves of a child's party frock. They were arranged in a series of plaited frills and the decollete neck was outlined with a smart little ermine tie. Stuck in the waistband there was a large velvet rose in a vivid shade of rose dubarry pink. One of the most remarkable features of the newest autumn and winter models may be said to be the ultra short tunic. These curious little garments hardly pass the hip line. Sometimes they are draped, as that shown in my sketch; sometimes they fall in straight lines. Fashion Proves Popular. These quaint little tunics will be mounted over pleated skirts of liberty satin or charmuse, and they will also be very much worn with lace dresses. The Parisiennes are becoming more and more pleased with the idea of wearing semi-evening dresses in the afternoon under voluminous wraps, and this fashion will continue in favor all through the coming winter. It will probably remain in full flood of favor for the next ten or twelve months. A very charming Russian woman, who is one of the notable beauties of the Blarritz season, recently assured me that this fashion of wearing very fragile dresses under fur wraps in the depths of winter came from her land. ing the arm or the leg of a deceased person—or persons?

"I am willing to let our house be run by strangers, and that you should never remain in entire ignorance of its management." "Rather good. Anything else?" "I am willing that we should have no children, so that you will be able to go to Europe whenever you want, to entertain your friends, and not be tied down." "Good! And is that all?" "Is this not enough?" And she doubfully replied: "I suppose it ought to be, but I was in hopes that you would say you were willing to have me wear anything I pleased all the rest of my life, no matter how really ridiculous it was." Getting Even. The late William T. Stead was in Turkey once and was received by the sultan. The sultan wanted to give Stead a present and offered him a fine jeweled cigarette case. Stead didn't smoke cigarettes, but he did want a jeweled cigar case the sultan had. He tried diplomatically to make the exchange, but couldn't. The sultan wanted Stead to have the cigarette case. "Very well," said Stead. "I will take the cigarette case on the condition that I may be allowed to make your supreme highness a present in return."

"When members of the crews of warships of different governments meet while on 'liberty leave' at port there usually badinage and banter that would make good reading," said a former bluejacket of Uclem S's navy a few days ago. "The funniest thing I have heard was when I was at Hongkong with a liberty party from the Wisconsin, and we met a similar squad from the English man-of-war Gollath. "As usual, we started in to 'kid them about having odd names for their boats. "Our scrappers may 'ave hood names to you Yankees,' spoke up the boatswain of the squad, a burly cockney, but we 'avent such bally names as O. H. Ten." "This brought a laugh from King Edward's men, but we could not see the joke "O. H. Ten? questioned one of our men. 'Why, we haven't such a name as that on any of our boats.'

The tattooing of the skin by Japanese, generally those of the lower classes, has attracted much observation from Europeans and Americans, due partly to the extraordinary elaboration and artistic skill displayed, partly to the fact that the occupations and customs of the class in which tattooing is most practiced are such as to render it necessary frequently to wear none but the most indispensable garments.

Practical Fashions MISSES' AND SMALL WOMEN'S DRESS. 6384 This design shows a very smart afternoon dress. One of the prettiest features is the cleverly draped sash which encries the waist and is knotted low in the back. The two tucks in front catch the skirt up slightly, giving just a hint of drapery.

Flowers have been artificially colored, with more or less success, but until recently animals have escaped the experiments of the investigators. Now, however, we are assured that fishes may be so colored as to suit the human fancy. In Sicily, it is reported, by the introduction into the water of chalk, iron and a quantity of peat, colors may be imparted to the carp. After treatment in a bath of these concomitants for a couple of weeks the fish is given another chemically prepared bath into which sharks are introduced iron and tannin. By increasing or diminishing the quantities the color can be either accentuated or diminished. The process is said to be somewhat hazardous, but produces ornamental fish. Proof Enough. A north countryman, charged with having set fire to a large hayrack, was defended on the ground that he was not altogether responsible for his actions. One of the witnesses testified to the belief that the prisoner was "wrang in his held." "Can you mention any occasion on which the prisoner behaved in a manner to warrant your statement?" he was asked by the learned counsel. "Yes," answered the witness. "Ab knows once at work he got half a crown too much for his wage, and—" "Well?" said the counsel, as the witness hesitated. "He took it back to the manager," concluded the witness.
