TH1RTY FIRST YEAR. NO. 15. VOLCANO MISSIONE MITCHEL ELECTED MAYOR OF GOTHAM Sulzer, Impeached Governor, Goes to State Assembly. REPUBLICANS WIN IN PENNSY Walsh Is Chosen Governor of Massachusetts—Fielder Victorious in New Jersey—Results in Other States. Mayoralty elections in New York state resulted as follows: Schenectady—George R. Lunn, Socialist, defeated for re-election by F. Teller Schoolcraft, fusion. Buffalo—Louis P. Furhmann, Democratic, re-elected. Syracuse—Louis Will, Progressive. Rochester—Hiram H. Egerton, Republican. Albany—Joseph W. Stevens, Republican. Utica—James Smith, Democrat. Elmira—Daniel Sheehan, mayor for the last eight years, defeated for re-election by Harry N. Hoffman, fusion. Binghamton—William R. Ely, Republican. Poughkeepsie—Daniel W. Wilbur, Republican. New York City.—John Purry Mitchell, fusion candidate, was elected mayor of Greater New York by nearly 100,000 majority over Edward E. McCall, the Tammany candidate. The following table shows the vote for mayor in New York city: McCall Mitchell Rusl'i (Dem.) (Fusion) (Soc.) Manhattan ... 103,756 130,453 11,768 Bronx ... 25,804 46,941 5,675 Brooklyn ... 77,905 136,596 11,560 Queens ... 20,289 33,451 2,858 Richmond ... 6,955 8,447 247 George McAenny's plurality was 73,143 and William A. Prendergast's 41,788. Marcus M. Marks was elected president of the borough of Manhattan by a plurality of 25,123. In Brooklyn the plurality of Lewis H. Pounds was 51,721, and in the Bronx Douglas Mathowson was elected president by a plurality of 8,699. Sulzer Is Elected. William Suizer, the deposed governor of the state, was elected to the assembly as a Progressive from the Sixth district of this city, within three weeks of his conviction on charges of high crimes and misdemeanors by the high court of impeachment. Suizer polled a vote almost double that of his Democratic opponent. The Tammany majority in the assembly was overturned. At least 85 Republicans, Republican-Progressives and Democrat-Progressives—all anti-Tammany—will occupy seats in the next house out of a total of 150. It is notable that almost every one of the up-state assemblymen who voted against direct nominations and in favor of Suizer's impeachment were defeated. In Kings county the Democrats lost heavily. There were decisive losses in Manhattan, and in Buffalo every Tammany man was beaten. Judges Werner and Hiscock, Republican candidates for chief and associate judges of the court of appeals, were elected over Judge Bartlett and Abram I. Elkus, Democrats, by large pluralities. The fact that the Republicans and Progressives have obtained control of the assembly will seriously embarrass the Democrats, who still control the senate, and may result in very little legislation at the coming session. The effect of the direct primary agitation depends entirely on how many Progressive-Republicans and Progressive-Democrats have secured places, for these are all pledged to a direct nomination bill. Sulzer's Enemies Defeated. Five up-state Democratic members of the assembly who voted for the impeachment of Sulzer were defeated for re-election. They are Jackson of Erle, Kelly of Dutchess, Fallon of Sufolk, Vanwoert of Lewis and Yard of Westchester. Charles F. Murphy issued the following statement when the result was definitely known: "The result speaks for itself. Mr. Mitchel has been elected by a majority of the voters. His opponents join in the wish that he may have a successful administration and hope that it will be of substantial benefit to our city." George W. Loft, the wealthy candy manufacturer, was elected to congress from the Thirteenth district as the successor of the late "Big Tim" Sullivan. Late returns indicate the election of Jacob A. Cantor, Tammany, to succeed Francis Burton Harrison, in the Twentient district. Indications are that Tammany has succeeded in electing its candidates in the newly formed Bronx county. MASSACHUSETTS Boston—David I. Walsh, Democratic candidate for governor, was elected, with his entire state ticket, by a plurality estimated at 50,000. The Republican party was forced into third place by the tremendously successful Progressive campaign. Gov. Foss, running independently for reelection, was left hopelessly in the rear. Edward P. Barry (Dem.) was elected lieutenant governor but by a reduced plurality, estimated at about 25,000. Frank J. Donohue was reelected secretary of state THE GAZETTE MITCHEL A FIGHTER Mayor-Elect an Uncompromising Foe of Tammanv. Successful Candidate Is the Youngest Man Ever Elected Chief Executive of Greater John Purroy/Mitchel, the mayor-elect, is the youngest man ever elected mayor of New York. He was born in Fordham and celebrates his thirty-fourth birthday on July 19. Since entering public life seven years ago as an assistant corporation counsel, Mitchel has been an uncompromising force in the city, father, John Mitchel, the Irish patriot who was banished to Australia, the mayor-elect inherited a love for fight. His anecdotes have been published in the were Presfreytian ministers. Mr. Mitchel was educated in St. John's college, Fordham university, and at Columbia university, from which he graduated in 1906. he entered public service the same year William B. Ellison. In 1907 he was appointed commissioner of accounts by Mayor McClenan, who was then engaged as the result of Mr. Mitchel's investigations was the removal from office of Borough President Ahearn. He next brought about the removal of Louis Haffen, borough president William B. Ellison. In 1907 he was appointed commissioner of accounts by President Bermel of the borough of Queens. He next investigated the fire department, the police department, the city record, the tax department and the police. As president of the board of aldermen, to which office he was elected in 1909, he fought almost single hand to protect the customs department and the chases were awarded to the traction trust. As collector of the port of New York, to which office he was appointed by President Wilson in 1913, Mr. Mitchel organized the customs service at this port. He resigned this office when he decided to accept the fusion nomination for mayor. Mr. Mitchel was married in April, 1909, to the daughter of Frankin D. Child of this city. REPUBLICANS WIN IN PENNSYLVANIA Philadelphia, Pa.—The Republican organization has come into its own in Pennsylvania. In Pittsburgh, where the fiercest fight was waged, from latest returns it is apparent that Joseph G. Armstrong, the Penrose-Oliver candidate for mayor, has won by a small majority over Stephen G. Porter, the Film-Mae Goe candidate. In Philadelphia, county the reformers on the fusion ticket are snowed under. The Republican organization has elected its entire county ticket, consisting of district attorney, register of wills, receiver of taxes and city treasurer and has elected enough members to organize both select and common councils. The superior court justice vote is in doubt, but it looks as if the non-partisan ballot is a failure so far as preventing the organization from electing its candidates is concerned. The good roads proposition so far as Pennsylvania is concerned went a-glimmering. The proposition to float a bond issue for $50,000,000 which was to be expended on the roads of the state has been defeated. Erle—Election of councilmen under the new commission form of government for third-class cities was the center of interest at the polls here. The vote for councilmen was counted first. Forty out of the 42 districts show Eichhorn and Pelow, labor candidates; Dundon, Independent, and Baker, Voters' league candidate, were elected in the order named. NEW JERSEY. Trenton.—Latest returns received from all sections of the state indicate the election of James F. Fielder, Democratic candidate for governor, by 20,000 plurality. Mr. Fielder is the present governor, having succeeded to the office upon the resignation of Woodrow Wilson. INDIANA. Indianapolis.—In the mayoralty election here Joseph E. Bell (Dem.) carried the city by a plurality of 8,458. His vote was 23,224. Dr. W. H. Johnson (Prog.) was second with 14,766; Charles A. Bookwalter (Rep.), former mayor, 14,315. VIRGINIA. Richmond.—With only nominal opposition from the Socialist and Socialist Labor parties the Democratic ticket swept the state, polling a vote estimated at between 50,000 and 60,000 against the 3,000 votes of the opposition. KENTUCKY. Louisville—Democrats carried Louis- ville by something like 5,000 plurality in the race for mayor and minor offices. Returns from the state indicate an overwhelming Democratic majority in both senate and house of representatives. CONNECTICUT. Bridgeport—The total vote for mayor was: Wilson (Rep.) 7,837; Mullin (Dem.) 5,494. The indications are that the entire Republican ticket is elected to all city offices. MARYLAND Baltimore.—There was a Democratic landslide in Maryland. Blair Lee, the candidate and college mate of President Wilson, was elected United States Senator over Thomas Parran (Rep.) and George L. Wellington (Prog.). As the vote went for Lee, so it did for all the other state and city Democratic candidates. Coady, the Democratic candidate for congress, was elected by an overwhelming majority. The election insures the Democrats sufficient votes in the legislature to override any vetoes of Gov. Goldsborough, Republican executive. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883. AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. BATTLE OF BALLOTS IN BUCKEYE STATE Short Ballot and Small Legisture Proposals Lose. OTHERS COME OUT VICTORIOUS Exempting Public Bonds From Taxation and Permitting Women to Hold Office Are O. K.'d by Voters of State. Columbus.—With official returns from only Cuyahoga county, Secretary of State Graves said that no estimates whatever could be made of the vote on the five proposed amendments except that the two short ballot and the small legislature proposals seem to have been overwhelmingly defeated, while the proposals for exempting public bonds from taxation and permitting women to hold office appear to have a good chance of adoption. Secretary Grayes has unofficial and partial returns from a dozen other counties showing the short ballot and small legislature propositions to have been snowed under by a tremendous majority. In some of these counties the other two amendments carried and in some they were defeated. In nearly all the vote was comparatively close. Early reports of the defeat of the Anti-Saloon league's anti-shipping law are confirmed by the later returns. Dry leaders declare they have not given up the fight, however. Heavy voting on the part of women in school board elections throughout the state is shown in the election returns. The outpouring of the feminine electorate is being seized upon by the supporters of woman suffrage as an argument for their contention that women of the state will exercise their franchise if given the proper chance. Baker Is Victor in Cleveland. Baker is Victor in Cleveland. Cleveland, O.-Newton D. Baker was re-elected mayor of Cleveland by a combination of first and second choice votes, giving him a majority of 3,226 and will complete the reorganization of the city government under the new charter which he was instrumental in writing. Complete returns from the 459 prefects of the city show that Mayor Baker received 41,296 first choice votes; Harry* L. Davis, his chief opponent, 36,113; while J. E. Robb, supported by the Socialists, received 5,768 first choice votes, less than half of the vote predicted. Other candidates received 65 first choice votes on names written on the ballot. Karb Wins in Columbus. Karl Winn in Columbus. Columbus—Mayer George J. Karb (Dem.) is re-elected by 4,000 is the latest indications. The rest of the Republican city ticket, excepting vice mayor, is elected. Democrats, however, take control of council out of hands of Republicans and Socialists, who now control. Two women were elected to school board. Columbus cast a favorable vote for short ballot amendments but rejected liquor anti-shipment and small legislature. The proposal to issue bonds in sum of $8.,500,000 for flood protection defended. Hunt Concedes Election. Cincinnati—With practically every precinct in Cincinnati unofficially reported, Henry T. Hunt, present Democratic mayor, concedes the election of his Republican opponent, Frederick S. Spiegel, with a plurality of 3,000 over himself. The pluralities of the other Republican candidates will run from 2,500 to 3,000. Canton Elects Progressive. Canton—Returns from 40 out of 43 precincts indicate Charles A. Stolberg (Prog.) is elected mayor over William Volkman (Dem.) and Jacob Snyder (Rep.) Socialists Win Hamilton. Hamilton—Hamilton went Socialist and practically the entire government of the city will be in their hands next year. Hinkle, candidate for mayor, defeated Mason (Ind.) by 150 votes and Burns (Dem.) by about 600 votes. The Socialists will get five of the nine members of council. Socialist Mayor at Shelby. Shelby—George Miller, Citizen candidate for mayor, was defeated by Daniel Howe (Soc.) by 100 plurality. The remainder of the Citizen ticket is elected. Hit, Short, Ballot, Hard. Findlay.—The count in six townships indicated the short ballot and small legislature amendments will lose in Hancock county by ten to one and that all other amendments will be lost by varying majorities. The anti-liquor shipping bill probably will carry. Wooster is Republican. Wooster.—Forbes Alcock (Rep.) was elected mayor of Wooster by a majority of approximately 200 over F. M. Vanover, former state senator, who was a candidate for re-election. Morrow Against Short Ballot. Mt. Gilead.—Five precincts out of 28 in Morrow county give; For state short ballot 50, against 266; for county short ballot 40, against 266; bond tax, for 118, against 17; eligibility of women, for 214, against 94; small legislature, for 38, against 246; anti-liquor shipping bill, for 138, against 202. Carries Every Precinct. Mansfield.—Maj. Fred S. Marquis (Rep.) was elected mayor of Mansfield over Mayor W. E. O'Donnell (Dem.) by the biggest majority ever given a candidate here. Marquis carried every precinct. Republican Landslide in Toledo. Toledo—Carl Keller, Republican candidate for mayor of Toledo, is leading by a large margin, according to unofficial figures. Judge Chittendon, Toledo ticket candidate, appears to be running second, and Cornell Schreiber, nominee of the independent, voters, long in power with Brand Whitlock and "Golden Rule" Jones, seems to be running third, indications are Keller's election is a landslide, with a plurality of from 18,000 to 20,000. Little interest was manifested in the constitutional amendments, short ballot and small legislature. Ravenna is Republican. Ravenna—Early figures indicate that W. A. Lyon (Rep.) is elected mayor. The entire Republican ticket probably is elected. Kaley Re-elected in Massillon. Massillon—Mayer Arthur N. Kaley (Rep.) was re-elected mayor of Massillon by a plurality of 549, defeating Capt. C. L. Baatz (Dem.) and Albert T. Watson (Soc.). Baatz's vote was 733, while Watson polled 473. Indications are the council will be Republican. Independent Wins. Elyria—Complete returns give Charles E. Tucker, Independent Citizens candidate for mayor, 1,055; W. B. Johnson (Rep.); 684; J. V. Sampell (Dem.); 572. Five precincts out of 67 in Lorain county indicate that all measures to amend the constitution with exception of liquor shipment bill will carry. Akron Moose In Lead. Akron.—With 20 of the 68 precincts in the city heard from. Frank W. Rockwell (Prog.) probably will be re-elected mayor of Akron with a plurality ranging from 500 to 1,000. The Democrats will have a majority of the council, but at least two Socialists will be elected. Harley Motz was re-elected city treasurer and James McCanlsand was re-elected city auditor. Jonathan Taylor (Rep.) was re-elected city solicitor by a big majority. Chardon Has One Ticket. Chardon—The election here was one of the most tranquil in years. There was only one municipal ticket, named by members of all parties. Chardon elected these officers: Mayor, Harry C. Blekle; clerk, R. S. Parks; marshal, Fred C. Spohn; councilmen, D. W. Bidake, H. A. Cowles, J. H. Cheney, R. King, Benjamin Pease and W. L. Sprague; board of public affairs, F. F. Chapman, G. L. Chapman, S. H. Smith; board of education, Charles W. Canfield, Representative W. R. Davis, Judge Terrence Reynolds. Citizens Ticket Winner. Citizens Ticket Winner. Dayton—One hundred out of 130 precincts indicate the election of the five candidates for commissioner supported by the citizens committee by a majority for the municipal judge supported by the Democratic committee are also apparently elected by a substantial majority. The Republican candidate for clerk of the municipal court, Carl B. Thompson, is elected over his Democratic opponent by a safe majority. Zanesville G. O. P. Wim. Zanesville—W. H. Webster (Rep.) candidate for mayor, won a five-cornered contest, his plurality over Mayor J. H. Schofield (Dem.) being 328 in 24 precincts, with three precincts to hear from. The school board one of the hardest fights, indicate the Democratic machine, in power 25 years, has won by a majority of nearly 1,000. Indications also point to the election of the entire Republican ticket in the city. Independent Dry isActor. East Liverpool—W. A. Schreiber, Independent candidate and former chairman of the city dry forces, was elected mayor by a majority of 237 over Mayor R. J. Marshall (Rep.) Councilman James M. Gilgallon, former Cleveland (Dem.) was third. G. O. P. Makes Clean Sweep. Norwalk—The election in this city resulted in practically a clean sweep for the Republicans, who elected every man on their ticket with the exception of two ward councillors. Elect Minister may.

Ryan (Dem.) for council won in the first ward over Levi Lower. Lima Elects Democrat. Lima.—Returns insure the election of Doan Robb (Dem.) for mayor by a plurality of between 700 to 1,000. Corbin N. Shook (Ind.), present mayor, who was custed by the Socialist party, lost in his stronghold of two years ago. Indications are that all the amendments, with the possible exception of the antiflushment of liquor and the woman's eligibility measures, have been defeated. Conneaut Is Socialist. Conneaut.—The Socialists placed their candidate, D. S. Brace, in the mayoralty chair by a majority of 150 in a total vote of 1,600. The defeated candidate is W. H. Leek, who ran on an Independent Citizens' ticket. Gallion Headed by Democrat. Gallion—Dr. H. H. Hartman (Dem.) was elected mayor for his third successive term. Dean C.

Forty-sixth Annual Gathering of State Religious and Educational Convention Notable For Harmony and Enthusiasm—Workers Manifest Desire to Be Helpful. By GEORGE F. KING. Rocky Mount, N. C.—The forty-sixth annual meeting of the State Baptist Educational and Missionary convention of North Carolina held here the last week in October (beginning Oct. 28), was attended by hundreds of delegates and visitors from most all sections of the state. The reports of the general officers and those of the representatives from the various churches to the convention were very encouraging. The success of the denomination in this state among Afro-Americans is due to intelligent leadership coupled with the thrift and industry of a large constituency of followers. The sessions of the convention were marked by harmony and a desire on the part of all concerned to work for larger missionary and educational results in the churches and schools throughout the state. This splendid religious organization has as its president Dr. A. W. Pegues J. B. of Raleigh, who is eminently fitted for the office. Being a man possessing every qualification of a safe leader and enjoying the confidence of the better element of both races in North Carolina, he is doing a great work of uplift which is bound to count for higher Christian manhood and citizenship. Contributor to the forces working for the world for Christ, he has an excellent way of bringing things to pass for the good of the denomination. Associated with Dr. Pegues are such national characters as Dr. C. S. Brown, corresponding secretary of the convention: Dr. J. J. World, treasurer; Dr. E. E. Smith, recording secretary of the convention, and a strong legion of active ministers. Dr. Pegues is one of the ablest theologians and educators in the state. For a number of years he was dean of the theological department of Shaw university, which position he resigned to become the supervisor of the state deaf, dumb and blind institute for colored youths in Raleigh. This institution, largely because of his ability and the generosity of the state, is the foremost institution of its kind in south. This type of leadership has placed the Afro-American Baptists of North Carolina on a footing that reveals the ability of its members to succeed in matters of great importance to the denomination. Among the prominent speakers on the program were: Dr. N. F. Roberts, dean of the theological department of Shaw university; Dr. S. N. Voss, Rev. C. E. Aspen, Rev. W. T. Coleman, D. D. M. D.; Revs. O. S. Bullock, G. W. Watkins, Drs. E. M. Brawley, A. B. Vincent, Revs. C. H. Williamson, G. W. Moore, M. A. Talley, D. J. Avery, J. L. S. Holloman and Dr. W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, corresponding secretary Lott Carey convention. The jubilee remarks on the fifty years of freedom by Revs. R. H. Harper, Thomas Parker and "Father Jackson" were inspiring. Thrifty Mutual Benefit Association. The Seven Stars of Consolidation of America is the name of a mutual benefit organization with headquarters in Fort Worth, Tex., and an office in Dallas, of which Editor W. E. King of the Dallas Express is the official head. The society has a thriving membership. It has competent men as organizers and seeks to interest our people more largely into organized bodies for mutual benefit. By GEORGE F. KING DR. A. W. PEGUES. PLEA FOR FAIR TREATMENT. Constitution League Sends Strong Reminder to President Wilson. Philadelphia. - The Constitution League of the United States, with headquarters at 1530 Lombard street, this city, through its field secretary, Dr. William A. Sinclair, recently sent a memorial to President Woodrow Wilson at Washington, which reads in part as follows: Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington: Honored Sir-in the name of the Constitution League of the United States (incorporated), composed of citizens without regard to race, sex, creed or party, I beg respectfully to make representations to you in regard to the unfair, humiliating, degrading and, I think, unlawful treatment which your colored fellow citizens are regarded to be. Colored men were members of the convention which nominated you. Colored citizens were generously admitted to the convention hall, and some sat on the platen. The distinguished gentlemen accomplish results through the united efforts and votes of both your white and colored fellow citizens. The distinguished gentlemen having charge of your campaign made special assurances to the accomplish results they established special headquarters in Boston, New York, Washington, Chicago and Denver. Every assurance was given of fair, just and equal treatment of colored citizens in the event of your election. In your letter to the Right Rev. Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Colored Democratic league, you requested equal treatment to your "colored fellow citizens." During the progress of the campaign you gave similar assurances to other colored men. It seems conclusive that the race issue achieved your election. I beg respectfully to say that many white and colored citizens believed that as you wore a man of southern birth and a woman of northern birth, you broadest scholarship and culture with the gift of statesmanship, you would bring to bear on the race question the best and most patriotic thoughts of both southern and northern citizens, ideally circumstanced to wipe out the Negro question as a factor in American politics by the faithful recognition of the mandates of the constitution of the Unit At the moment when all should be "quit on the Potomac" I do not think it will be altogether a surprise to you for me to say that the colored people of the United States are more wrought up and alarmed than at any period since their emancipation. This is due— First—The removal of competent colored men from offices in several of the states was filled by national appointment for years. Second—The removal of competent colored men from offices held under national appointment in Washington. Third—The refusal to appoint colored men from posts which had for more than a generation been held by members of the race. Fourth — The degradation imposed on colored men and women in several of the departments of the government through the "crowd witch" clerks, "colored clerks being taken from desks and from rooms and segregated, colored clerks being denied equal use of lunch counters, the lockers, toilets, etc. In the name, then, of the Constitution League of the United States—and I may appeal to you as the president of the League, that in your good judgment would remedy these terrible wrongs against the Negro people, a people whose loyalty, faithfulness and services to their country in peace and in liberty are honored, a people whose life is always on the altar of their country. With assurance of our most high regard I beg to subscribe yours most obediently, WILLIAM A. SINCLAIR, National Field Secretary. MAKING FIGHT FOR JUSTICE. Recent Events Show Growing Resentment Against Race Segregation. No man ever gave utterance to words fraught with more truth than those of Lincoln when he asserted "this republic can not long endure half slave and half free." And because of the belief in such a sentiment the colored people are making dignified protests throughout the country against discrimination on account of race and color. The late Stewart L. Woodford said on one occasion while speaking at a literary society of Afro-Americans in Brooklyn in which he voiced the sentiments of his white fellow citizens, "We never freed the slaves until we had to, and we will never accord to them as free men all the rights and privileges which belong to them until we have to." Crispus Attucks, credited as being the first to shed his blood in the American Revolution, said to his comrades when he saw the British troops advancing on Boston, "Strike at the root, for there is the nest." Mrs. A. W. Hunter at the Beecher centennial celebration in Brooklyn, Oct. 21, in the course of an able address on Beecher's attitude toward freedom for the colored race said that the colored people should fight color prejudice to death. The open letter to President Wilson recently sent from the Constitution league, the Boston and Baltimore protest mass meetings are all indications of the growing spirit of resentment among colored Americans against injustice in all of its hideous forms. Segregation in the Christian Church. While it might seem fit to some persons to have the colored members of the Protestant Episcopal church presided over by a bishop of their race. It is also the opinion of the majority that there should be no race segregation in that denomination in so far as official rank is concerned. Furthermore, should a bishop ever be selected from the ranks of the colored membership he should not be restricted to any particular race, but given charge of a diocese. Should there be churches with white members and churches with colored members he must necessarily be the bishop over each. True Christianity does not segregate after the manner of the world. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ANNUAL MEETING OF EDUCATORS LEADERS OF THE MOVEMENT Representatives of the Various Agricultural Schools Connected With the Land Grant Colleges to Confer on Matters of Moment—Importance of a Central Organization. Washington.—Representatives of the Negro Land Grant colleges will hold a conference at the Young Men's Christian association building, 1816 Twelfth street, in this city, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, Nov. 12 and 13. This conference will be held in connection with the association of American Agricultural colleges and experiment stations which meets at the same time. Most of the schools have already appointed their delegates to this conference. Alabama will be represented by President W. S. Buchanan and Professor P. C. Parks; Arkansas by Professor C. P. McLurkin; Delaware by President W. C. Jason; Florida by President Young and Professor F. H. Cardoza; Maryland by President J. O. Spencer and Professor T. H. Klai; Mississippi by President J. A. Martin; North Carolina by President B. Dudley and Professor Bluford; South Carolina by President R. S. Wilkinson and Professor B. F. Hubert; Virginia by Professor C. K. Graham and probably Dr. H. B. Frisell; West Virginia by President Byrd Prillerman and Professor A. W. Curtis. Other institutions than the Land Grant colleges are invited to participate in the deliberations of this conference. Hon. P. P. Claxton and other distinguished educators are expected to take part in the program. All phases of agriculture will be discussed. The conference is of great importance to those in charge of agricultural schools. The last meeting of this organization was held at Atlanta university, Atlanta, Ga., November, 1912. The principal addresses at that meeting were made by Dr. H. E. Stockbridge, Professor F. B. Jenks and President Kenyon L. Butterfield of the Massachusetts Agricultural college. President Byrd Prillerman of the West Virginia Colored institute, Institute, W. Va., is chairman of this conference, and Professor Benjamin F. Hubert, director of agriculture of the State Colored college, Orangeburg, S. C., is secretary. They have prepared an excellent program for the coming session and much benefit is expected to be derived from this conference. The men connected with the movement in an official way have had considerable experience in educational work as heads of colleges and other institutions of learning among our people. They know the advantage of having the most suitable equipment for agricultural schools as well as the needs of those for whom such institutions are maintained. Much can be accomplished by the right kind of co-operation in educational work by those who are intrusted with the training of young men and women for future service. If the churches, business enterprises, secret and benevolent societies see the necessity of having a central organization for the furtherance of their interests so should our educators unite in thought and action for the promotion of better facilities and closer co-operation in all matters which have to do with the preparation of the young men and women to make the most of their opportunities. Influence of the Piney Woods School. Lawrence C. Jones, founder and principal of the Piney Woods Country Life school near Braxton, Miss., is one of the most energetic and deserving of the younger men of the race engaged in educational work in the rural sections of the south. He has made the community about Braxton feel the uplift which comes from education, Christianity and sound moral character. He has the confidence of the people in the work which he is doing. The treasurer of the school is Mr. W. R. Mangum, cashier of the Braxton bank. Mrs. L. C. Jones, wife of the principal, is the much esteemed matron of the institution. Church Holds Double Celebration: the pastor and members of the Nazarine Congregational church in Brooklyn celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the church the last week in October and concluded with an observance of the third anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. A. P. Miller, whom the church called as pastor three years ago. The late A. J. Henry had been pastor of this congregation for eighteen years at the time of his death a few years ago. New Church Edifice For Lane Chapel. Lane chapel, colored Methodist Episcopal church at Elmo. Tex., has been rebuilt under the pastorate of the Rev. G. J. Jackson. The new edifice, which cost over $3,000, was dedicated on Sunday, Oct. 20. Three white clergymen, friends of the pastor, took part in the dedication service.

Cleveland SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1913. The St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal's special illustrated edition of Oct. 25, 1913, was a beauty, and Editor John Q. Adams has every reason to feel proud of it. The sentiment in favor of our Cleveland Old Folks' Home Association securing a new location for the Home, outside of the city limits, where more ground and a larger house can be secured at a much less figure, is growing rapidly among our people in this community. It certainly will be a most unfortunate move for the Home to again be located in the city limits. Will the members of the Association listen to this suggestion from those to whom they will have to appeal in the future for financial and other aid to conduct the institution? The affair at Woodliff Hail, last week, Thursday evening, advertised as a "great mass meeting of Colored-Voters" promoted by Charlie Crawford, Tom Fleming and John Fulton, candidate for mayor, Harry L. Davis' Colored political leaders, was certainly a "frost." Instead of at least three hundred persons in attendance upon the meeting, there were only about fifty when Mr. Davis arrived between 9 and 10 o'clock. This is a very true indication of the support given the latter at the polls on Tuesday and is exactly what we warned him would be the case, if he persisted in securing such Afro-American political representatives. Our good people of this community resented the selection of Crawford, Fulton and Fleming, just as we warned Mr. Davis they would do. The effort to make it appear that Bishop Alexander Walters favored the segregation of our governmental employees at Washington, D. C., has fallen flat, as it should. President Wilson, nor any one else, can make those who know the bishop, believe any such fool thing. Bishop Walters comes nearer being the "leader of the race" than a wagon load of our "most prominent men," or so-called "leaders." "STUNG TO THE QUICK!" Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard's recent Baltimore, M.D. speech, in which he demonounced in strong terms the segregation of Afro-American employees in the governmental departments at Washington, D. C., has already "bourne fruit." In this speech, Mr. Villard "handled" without gloves President Wilson, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, and others responsible for the inauguration of the new and miscellaneous system of treating our employees in at least two of the departments. Such segregation is not only insulting and humiliating to our people, but also to true American citizenship wherever found. Secretary McAdoo, "stung to the quick" by Mr. Villard's caustic criticism, has written a letter to the latter, in which he endeavors to explain, but of course, fails utterly to do so. We trust Mr. Villard will keep up the good work until the wrong is righted as far as is possible. It is only necessary to add that Secretary McAdoo is a southerner who located in New York city after reaching manhood's estate. Mr. Villard, in his address, raked segregation and racial discrimination for and affair, and speaking of the ultimate results of the segregation policy, if continued, said: "The folly of raising this issue does not step there. It affords very little from the one which rent the Union. The great struggle which convulsed the United States, in its simplest terms, nothing else than the attempt of an aristocracy of cotton and land to create two classes of human beings in this country, the slaves and the free. They were willing to sacrifice the Union and everything else to this end. Those who in this day are seeking to establish two classes of citizens, the disfranchised and the enfranchised, to say that there shall be two kinds of government employees—as does Mr. McAdoo and his cabinet associate—they are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will never know peace and quiet as long as there are discriminations among its citizens. Upon their heads will be the responsibility of forcing the issue and not upon cure." TRUTH! THE USE OF INSULTING TERMS. Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 1, 1913. Mr. Erie C. Hopwood, Managing Editor, the Cleveland Plain Dealer: Dead Sir—The enclosed clipping is from this morning's Plain Dealer. Of the several daily papers in this city, it is regarded in the most friendly spirit by my people, and is read by more of them than any other daily paper. This is the result of its fairness, as a rule, in its references to them and its uniformly broadminded treatment of matters of prime interest to them. The mongrel word "darky" is almost as objectionable to them as that other most miserable one, "nigger." Both terms or mongrel words, and others somewhat similar, are regarded by the intelligent of my people just as the intelligent Jews ragard the like mongrel term or word, "sheeny," when applied to them; the Irish, "mick," when applied to them, etc. I take it that the Plain Dealer is too high class and excellent a newspaper to permit the use of any of these mongrel terms or words. I am, therefore, calling your attention to the enclosed clipping, with the hope that those of us who prefer the Plain Dealer to any other local daily newspaper, may continue our kindly feeling and preference for it. Yours very truly, HARRY C. SMITH. TUESDAY'S ELECTION. The "grand old republican party" is again coming in-to its own. The "land-slide," which was very much in evidence in Tuesday's election results throughout Ohio and many other parts of the North, shows this beyond all question or doubt. The success of many republican candidates in Ohio's municipal elections this week, was most encouraging indeed, and will infuse more real aggressive activity in-to the ranks of the party throughout the state, than anything else. It would have brought victory to the republicans of the city of Cleveland had the proper effort been made to bring together the various factions of the party, and personal ambition and the effort to conserve certain business or corporate interests had been eliminated from the control and conduct of Harry L. Davis' campaign. One unfortunate thing was Mr. Davis' announcement that he was not the republican candidate." Even in the face of this, he would have been triumphantly elected had he polled three thousand of the five thousand Afro-American votes in Cleveland, instead of only about three hundred. The circulation of at least one insulting statement alleged to have been made by Mr. Davis while city treasurer, and his selection management's unfortunate selection-of several objectionable individuals-of-color as his political leaders among our people in this community, were directly responsible for his loss of the very large percentage of Cleveland Afro-American votes on Tuesday of this week. Results show, beyond all question or doubt, that he had his support the republican "land-slide," referred to above, would have undoubtedly swept him in-to the mayor's chair of the largest city in the state of Ohio and the sixth city in size in the United States. Therefore, his defeat can be directly attributed to the poor management of his campaign, which was evidenced in many other ways. Wealthy persons opposed to low street-car fare at least one of whom, still a young man, has an ambition to step from private life (for the first time) in-to the U. S. Senate, were apparently in supreme control of Harry L. Davis' campaign, with the result made clear in the foregoing. It is sincerely hoped that the next two years will clear the local political atmosphere to such an extent as to make it possible for the republicans of this municipality to once again enjoy a victory already too long delayed. NOT A FAILURE Cleveland, O, Oct. 15, 1913. Mr. Ballard:—This letter is to inform you that we, the members of the DuBois Literary club, have deemed it advisable to withdraw our support pledged you as our student last year. We take this stand from the viewpoint that should you fail to make good at Reserve again this year, our work and time would count for nothing. However, we circumstances have so shaped themselves, and wish you every success. Respectfully, The DuBois Literary Club, Mrs. Blanche Gilmore, Pres. Mrs. M. P. Case, Sec. Cleveland, O. Nov. 3, 1918. Editor Gazette: Rumors have been circulated about the city that the real son the DuBois Literary club with drew its support from its original student, was because of his failure to make good at Western Reserve University. As to the club's withdrawal of support, that is true, but as to his failure to make good, that is false. Consequently, it is no more than fitting that the good friends, who contributed so nobly towards his support last year, should know that he did not fall to make good, nor can it be proved. But to the contrary, he has been congratulated by his fellow-students for his conscientious work, and commended for his strenuous and fruitful efforts, by his instructors. Here is a letter from the Dean of W. R. U, which I humbly submit that it might enlighten all as to the truthfulness or falseness of said rumors: This is to certify that John E. Ballard attended the Law School at Western Reserve University during the college year of 1912-1913. He was always faithful in attendance at classes so far as he was able, and prepared his work to the best of his ability. Although under a severe handicap, his work was such as satisfies his intention, he shows with every encouragement. It is with satisfaction that I personally command Mr. Ballard for his ambition and for the courage with which he has undertaken to overcome adverse conditions. Walter T. Ballard Walter T. Dunnore, Dean W. R. U. Law School. Signed, John E. Ballard. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. WHO IS "MR. WADE OF CLEVELAND"? Barnesville, O.—A "gent" of color sailing under the name of "Wade from Cleveland," soliciting orders for the Hartman Furniture Company of Cleveland and Chicago, and promising with every $10 order (payable in advance), he would give a large mirror. To make a long story short, "Mr. Wade has come; that's all, William Ellis, Mrs. Alice Simpson, Mrs. Kealat (white) and Miss Ella Myers are ten dollars poorer, but we hope wiser. He skipped his board bill. So beware of him. He is a fraud from start to finish. Daisy C. King. BUCKEY WRITTEN BY BLE" GA SR THROUG What Our Po Week—Chu Lodge, sical SUBMARINES AT WORK FORECAST OF NAVAL WAR IN THE COMING YEARS. New Types of Destroyers, When Certain Engines Are Developed, Will Possess Powers of Hideous Destructiveness. The destroyer is doomed shortly to disappear, or, if you like, she will in future be invested with the power to dive. The types, at any rate, will be amalgamated. It is a matter of perfecting the internal-combustion engine for marine purposes. Afterward the submarine may attain the power of flying as well, and we shall have a ship possessing all the qualities of the wild duck, except that of sitting on eggs and reproducing herself. This forecast is made by Gerard Fiennes, who writes of the work of the submarine in the Pall Mall Magazine: "It is the darkest hour, the hour before the dawn. The hostile fleet lies in its harbor, behind the boom and under the shelter of the forts. It has suffered damage in an encounter with a superior force, but is still 'in being'. The beams of the searchlights wheel and cross and seesaw up and down; the guarding destroyers prowl hither in the outer harbor. Of a sudden there is a rush from seaward of black hulls and flaming funnels. No concealment is attempted; it would be useless. The attackers creep, unperceived, near enough to make their rush. In an instant the scene is ablaze with quick-firing guns, hurling shell on friend and foe alike. The assailants hold on. One boat after another sinks, but ever fresh squadrons rush in to the attack. A dozen, 20, 30 boats will be well lost if the attempt succeeds. "The boom which protects the harbor mouth is made of huge baulks of timber, wound and wound with stout steel hawers. From its low edge hang torpedo nets. It would vain to charge it as the Polyphemu years ago charged the boom at Portsmouth for an experiment, and got over. It must be blown up. A rending crash, followed by another, proclaims the failure of the trusted defense. The boom is in splinters; the destroyers which wrecked it actually make their way to safety amid the smoke and confusion caud d by the explosions. Now the fast-breaking dawn discloses a number of slim poles cutting the surface of the water. Again the crash of the fire breaks out. It is fultile, but the nerves of the gunners will not stand inaction. The defending destroyers charge the submarines, trying to knock away their periscopes and to explode mines close to their hulls. Here and there they succeed. A whalelike snout is thrown out of the water and sinks again forever. There is a whir of wings overhead. The aeroplanes are up. So fountains of water are spouting from where their dropped bombs explode. But above all the dn there arises a dull, muffled roar—a second, a third. Some of the battleships are hit. One torpedo which missed its mark destroys the caisson of the dock in which the flagship is lying for repairs. Worst of all, the fleet has lost its sense of security. It must go out and fight at any cost. What the fireships were designed to do in the old wars, and seldom did, the submarine can accomplish, at least, if she justifies the hopes of those who believe in her." Bigger Men Than Their Ancestors. Another blow to the theory of the national degeneracy is given by the researches of Mr. Bulloch, who has written a book on the Gordon Highlanders. It appears that the average height of the men who were recruited for the original regiment was very little more than five feet three inches. The whole of the recruits for the British army last year averaged nearly three inches more in height. Only five men in the original regiment were more than six feet tall. Soldiers recruited from the south of Scotland today would make a very different showing. The same fact is brought home by the suits of armor which have been preserved. The castings of the mighty men-at-arms of the past would be a very tight fit for the ordinary man who walks the streets of our towns. Better feeding, more hygienic modes of living and greater care in youth has given us a race which shows no signs of degeneracy in physique, but, on the contrary, dwarfs the ancient standards of vigor.—Westminster Gazette. Hot Weather Yarn. The roof garden lifted 20 stories up towards the stars, was swept by the breezes of a thousand electric fans. Palms rusted, ice tinkled, syphons gushed, and De Wolf Hopper, his resonant voice easily audible above the silvery music of feminine laughter, told a hot-weather yarn. "Mrs. Blueblood von Blueblood," he said, "was dissatisfied with her fourth man, and resolved accordingly to discharge him. "So, the other morning, as the fourth man, in his shirt sleeves, dusted the ballroom with a huge feather duster, Mrs. Blueblood von Blueblood opened hostilities with the remark: "Simcox, I am dissatisfied with you. You haven't done a thing the whole morning." "Haven't done a thing?" cried Sim- Truth is Power. Truth, and, by consequence, liberty, will always be the chief power of honest men—Mme.

David Peresman, the only Colored Bishop of the Protestant Church, and is engaged in missionary work Cape Palma and Liberia on the West Coast of Africa, filled the pulpit at St. Phillips P. E. Church Sunday morning week. The aged and popular prelate, with a native African Priest of his church in Liberia, whom he presented to the audience during the course of his sermon, came to America to attend the Annual Convention of the Episcopal Church which recently closed in this city. Speaking of his sermon, the priest and spent fifty-one years as a missionary this important field, and that they have now a well established church with 10 priests, 23 clergymen—all native Africans except one, a white man, who belongs here in America. To show further results of his efforts, the bishop said that he had also during his missionary activities, baptized 602 children and 689 adults. National Grand Master Killed. Little Rock, Ark.—W. M.

A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER. Editor Gazette and Readers: Editor Gazette and Readers: There grows here one of the most shiny plants, the Royal Poinsettia, and it is well named for it is indeed a royal beauty. The plant grows six feet high the first year, and is one mass of fiery red flowers, produced in drooping grape-like clusters. The half fern like foliage is sensitive, closing at night or upflower the approach of a storm. The plant shows lawn plant, requires low damp ground, and it improves from year to year. Last winter I threw away a lot of the seed I had, and this spring they came up, and a dozen or more of the shrubs, six to eight feet high, are full of ripe seed, and still they bloom, and now what I want to say is: I send anyone the seed who wishes it it grows, and you are all very welcome to send, as I have lots of the seed, and lots of people would like it. This is a free offer, nothing to follow, or axe to grind, only I would like to hear how you succeed with it. Plant in open ground now or early spring. Wouldn't glad to be to the one to get the pretty flower, but it grows in England in hot houses. It was scarce here ten years ago, but many are grown now.

Last Saturday night, in Ben Srulovitt's saloon, Central Ave., E. & 28 St., John Fulton struck Theo B. Green, Esq., in the face with his fist, as the result of a political argument. The latter claims he was more than once, and was menaced by Charlie Trawford at the time of the Green said, Sunday, that he would swear out a warrant for Fulton's arrest the following (Monday) morning.

E. church, Monday evening, given by the "Sing-Tell-Play" Co., was an artistic and financial success. He advertised it thoroughly. Result—a packed house. The four members of the company were good, the tenor soloist, Mr. Geo. Garner, being "the star of the evening," receiving a reception of choirs that came Mme. Anita Patt-Brown, soprano; Mr. Wyatt Houston, violinist; and Miss Marion Garner, pianist, pleasing, in the order named. The soloists are from Chicago. Comparatively few Colored men voted on Tuesday—not more than 300 of the nearly 5,000 Afro-American voters in Cleveland. Possibly two-thirds of the 300 votes were cast for Harry L. Davis, because they either did not or would not understand the political situation. Baker's plurality over Davis was over, when Davis won. L. Davis's priority (first and second choice) votes over both Davis and Robb which the daily papers announced as being 3,222. Davis said several weeks ago that he "was not the republican candidate for mayor." At Mr. and Mrs. Wm. E. McLuttrell, Oct. 25, their niece, Miss Cora P.

The room in which the bride stood was beautifully decorated with palms, etc. Mrs. Henry Minter presided at the brand new piano. The bride wore white messy dress and a white hat preceded by a bouquet. She was preceded by Miss Mabel Blue, maid of honor. Many out-town guests were present, among them being the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair Williams. Dining presents were beautiful, and useful. The Guests wishes the bride good health, happiness and much success. They are at home in Akron. The New Ogden theatre was packed to the doors, the first of the week, the crowds being attracted by four excellent vaudeville attractions and its splendid motion pictures. The "star of the evening" was undoubtedly Ward. She is doing an act, really artistically, is pleasing immensely is very clever indeed, and has a good voice. The big "picture-card" was "The Railroad Porter," showing African characters. It was "unpreparatory" laughable and certainly pleasing greatly. During the evening, Monday, Miss Helen Ogden stated that though she was forced to make some changes in her announcement vaudeville attractions her team can expect to better acts. If possible, the New Ogden has ever greeted the past. She was greeted with most enthusiastic applause because our people appreciate the offe fort, she, a lone woman of the race is making to do business with and for them, against tremendous odds of combined white and Colored forces.

Taylor of this city, while at Charleston and Institute, ten miles from Charleston, W. Va., last week sent The Gazette three very pretty souvenir post cards. One was an excellent view of the water front in Charleston, opposite the C. & O. Ry station; another card was a splendid portrait of our K. of P. building in that city, erected in recent years; and the third was an excellent portrait of the campus of the West Va., Colored Institute, located at Institute. Mr. Taylor wrote us: "In the K. P. building was the Gem pharmacy and the third was of M. Adams. Both are very fine. This is my four time here (Charleston) in two year, and I am glad to say that the treatment afforded our people in stores, restaurants, etc., here, has no signs of discrimination. No 'jim-crowism' here. I spent one morning on the beautiful campus of our West Va., Institute." Theo, B. Green, Esq., had both John Fulton and Charlie Crawford arrested, Monday. He claims, also, to have been struck in the back of the head with a beer-bottle or glass, as he went out the door. He says Crawford did it, and that Fulton (unexpectedly) mashed him in the face with his fist, and took a shot that caused "for white" at times; so Geo. W. Johnson, a witness of the affair in Ben Srulovitz's saloon, Saturday night, tells a representative of the Gazette, "Dode came back at Fulton." Johnson says, by saying, "You're married to a white woman." Then Fulton and Crawford "took him," and 'Dode' had to run to keep the beignet beaten up and killed. Crawford and Fulton's cases came up in the Police Court. Tuesday morning, and was continued, at their request, because that day was election day, and they had to get out Central Av., way and look after the Colored men with red badges who were employed to work for Harry Davis, the mayor, and the date for mayor" (till Tuesday evening), according to the Cleveland Daily Press. "That assault on 'Dode' was certainly as uncalled for and vicious as I have ever seen in a long time," continued Johnson. "It appeared to be premeditated and went so quickly, it was all over in a 'jiffy' and gave me a chance to meet a friend to a meeting, earlier in the evening, at Teutonia hall, cor. Scovilh Av. and E. 30th St. where these same fellows had refused him an opportunity to speak. He had just spent about $1.75, too, treating them and others in Srulovitz's saloon. You know 'Dode' was a candidate for the mayor, and making his canvass." Johnson said, When the case is tried in Police Court, Johnson will be "Dode" main witness, he told The Gazette representative.

DOINGS OF THE RACE The white Baptists of the south have pledged our Baptists $50,000 toward the erection of a Theological Seminary which will probably be located in Nashville. The Nashville Kirion informs us that the National Baptist convention, in its recent session at Nashville, voted $500 to Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, the author, and ordered that all publications of the various Boards give space to advertisements of his books. From accounts reaching us the order has not been carried out as for the finance, but has been made available literature from the Boards, there is not one inch of advertising for the Leo-Leopard Spots, etc. etc. But the gentleman who gave the convention the gate-receipts and kept the refreshment and other privileges which would have put the $500 in the convention treasury to pay the order given, give the flattery and praise.

Press. At last National Organizer Ralph W. Tyler has gotten on the road for the Business League. If he will "organize" as effectively as he writes about himself and others, he may earn the $100 per month the League is paying him for his services. The Press Association is not pleased with the attempt of the "National Organizer" to throw cold water on its meeting at the national convention, of the national body should be loyal to every branch of the League, regardless of his personal feelings toward the officers of any of these branches. Mr Tyler narrowly escaped a vote of censure. Immunity was granted because of the desire of the Press Association not to embarras Dr. Washington, whom they hold in such high esteem that they overlook the narrowness of a group of his unwise satellites—R. Thompson's Washington college. The publication board of the A. M. E. Church dismissed Rev. Dr. J. Lowe, manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern, and Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Philadelphia (Pa.) Christian Recorder, the official organ of the decompination, last week, Tuesday, for "moral delinquencies." They were given 60 days grace. S. H. Dudley, comedian, and his mule, have started on a tour of the leading vauduelle theaters of the country. Rev. D. Webster Davis, educator, lecturer, boot and minister, died at Richmond, Va. his home city. Oct 26. Judge Kavanaugh of Chicago, in his recent appeal to the Irish Fellowship Club of that city, asked each member, calling them by name: "Would you feel free being compelled to ride in a 'jim-crow' car? Would you feel free when you could not protect your wife and daughters, your sister or mother. You would not be able to mount a race, because there were more of them? Would you feel free when even in a court of justice you could not even get a fair trial? No, you would not. Neither does the Negro. Will we start the betterment movement?" William N. Webster (white) and his Colored wife, who was formerly Miss Nellie Ralls, are back in Washington, D. C., after having had a trying experience with the Virginia authorities, who arrested and tried them for violating the miscegation law of that State. Mrs. Webster is a mulatto, Mr. Webster is well-to-do. Jack Johnson's $20,000 ball bond was issued to the agency, but the government, it is said, not realize a cent, as Jack had "covered" his property, &c., before leaving for France. Word comes from the Pacific coast that the "New Zealand all-black rugby team" is literally annihilating the American all-white rugby teams and that not a single score has yet been registered against the "blacks". Moreover, the westerners frankly admit that though they have been in constant practice for lo! these seven years, just to register a defeat in their favor against these same players, they have not learned the game. Two questions present themselves just here. Would the western college boys design to accept a challenge from an American "all-black" rugby team or even an "American bouquet rugby team", even though a skill were displayed ecuch to that of the New Zealanders? And if they accepted such a challenge, would they admit that they were outclassed? But what's the use. Everything goes, just so it isn't "American league" game. Until all the "scum" of the earth has been served, the American Negro must—wait—Washington (D. C.) Be The U. S. Supreme Court, Oct. 17, listened to argument in the case of Frank Quin and J. J.

This paper has no "boss" except truth, rather on purpose. It is the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church, in session last week in N. Y. City, postponed for THREE YEARS action on the question of giving its Afro-American members of the south a bishop to directly them in the house of bishops. Mr. Isaace Fisher, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute in the class of 1898, and who is a successful school teacher in Alabama, has just been awarded the prize of $100 offered by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for the best paper on the subject, "Ten reasons why Persons Should Come to Missouri." Mr. Fisher has won five prizes since 1908, none of which have been awarded for education, as follows: 1908—Craftsman Contest, New York, "The relation Between Manual Training in the Schools and Industrial Education and Efficiency;" third prize. 1909—Manufacturers' Record, Baltimore, "A Plan to Give the South a System of Highways Suited to Its Needs;" second prize. 1909—Hart, Schaffner, and Max, "The Methods of Regulating Trusts;" second prize. 1910—Moneyweight Scies Company, Dayton, Ohio, "The Merits of Moneyweight Scales;" first prize. This is a very highly creditable record. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

Tany Chemical Co. 111 East 108th St., New York City SPORTS FOOTBALL Big guns say that of the top-notchers Yale is farthest to the front just now. Walter Eckersall says the new rules are better than any others in the history of football. "Germany" Schultz, the old Michigan star, is assisting Coach "Hurry Up" Yost at Ann Arbor. Yale looks stronger now than it did at the opening of the football season, but Harvard is still favored. In games outside its own section, Michigan plays Penn, Cornell, Syracuse and Vanderbilt this year. Eddie Vanderboom, a former Wisconsin halfback, is assisting Head Coach Junoauer with his alma mater this year. Exendine, former star end of Carlisle, is back at the college helping Glenn Warner instruct the Redskins in football art. Ten touchdowns in a game lasting just 44 minutes was the record of the Princeton Tigers in their game with Fordham. Harry Kersburg, the former Harvard guard, has developed a strong and well-drilled team at Holy Cross this year. The Stanford university football squad is already in strict training for the annual Rugby game with the University of California. John Oates, the old Yale end and track captain, is helping the coaches develop the Johns Hopkins university squad at Baltimore. A son of Poe, Princeton's great quarterback of 1885, is out for the St. Mark's school eleven. Of course he is preparing for Princeton. Coach Yost is driving his Michigan squad at a harder pace than ever before. As soon as one man vacates the hospital list, two more go on it. Dartmouth has shown a lot of improvement of late. The Hanover eleven is lighter than for some years, but will make up for this in speed. Coach Warner of Carlisle is tutoring three men—Capt Welch, Guyon and Crane—in the fine art of goal kicking, with the hope of finding a successor to Jim Thorpe. Stagg is finding himself in possession of a surplus of kicking material for one time in his Chicago career. Captain Norgreen is rivaled by no less than three clever performers with the toe. Charley Brickley, star of the Harvard squad, is in partnership with Bill Bingham in the laundry business. The name of the Brickley-Bingham firm is the Harvard Independent Laundry company. Four of the Western Conference teams have changed coaches, the new mentors being R. C. Zupkie at Illinois, Happy Smith at Purdue, John B. Wilce at Ohio State, and D. H. Grady at Northwestern. Shaw, Semmens and Haviland are having a keen tussle for the position of center on the Princeton eleven. With Bluetenthai to teach them the fine points of the position, one of the trio should develop into a good man. Wilson, who has been playing quarterback on the Yale varsity football eleven almost since the beginning of the season, and who was generally regarded as a find for that position, has been shifted by the Yale coaches to backlash. HORSE RACING Massachusetts promises to have a lot of half-mile track racing next year. --- Lady Cochate, a four-year-old trotter, is said to have worked in 2:06:3-4 for Mike McDevitt. George H. Estabrook has sold Zarrine (2:07 1-4), a daughter of Bingara and a Kremlin mare. John L. Dodge expects to name Silk Hat in all of the 1914 early closing events to which he is eligible. Cox looks to be in line to head the money winners this year, as his total has reached $70,000. A. B. Coxe's Zombro Belle (2;13) has won all of the three-year-old races in the Pennsylvania circuit. The little Texas mare, Cheeney, won the twenty-fifth annual age trotting championship at Lexington, the $5,000 Transylvania stake. Cabel (2:05 1-4), one of the bread winners in the Cox stable, is the sire of some promising colts in Maine. Walter R. Cox is the first one to start out for the 1914 campaign, as he has bought the pacer, King Couchman (2:12 1-4), with the Chamber of Commerce stake in sight. Nervolo Belle, dam of Peter Volo, is by Nervolo (2:04 1-4), out of Josephine Knight, by Betterton, a son of George Wilkes, and her dam was Mambrino Beauty, by Mambrino King. 1930 Alonzo Stagg of Chicago. Coach Stagg is far from pleased with the work of his men. He has intimated there is a little too much opera temperament and too little hard work being shown on the Midway and has hinted at some radical changes in the lineup. BOWLING The sixth annual Middle West Bowling association tournament will open in St. Louis next Thanksgiving day. GOLF George Lyon of Durham, N. C., well known as the trapshooting world, has turned golfer. Lyon is said to be a star on the links. AQUATIC Kansas City, Mo., wants the annual Mississippi Power Boat association regatta for 1914. American yachtmen seem unanimous in the viewpoint that the next battle for the American cup will be the toughest in history. James Paddon, the champion professional sculler of Australia, and Richard Arnet, the ex-world's champion, have signed articles to scull for the cham-cup and $1,000 a side. Wille Rifchie is willing to box Ad Wolgast, if the latter will come in at 135 pounds ringside. Bat Nelson has promised to retire from the ring. He realizes he is through and will probably go into vaudeville or on the lecture platform. Jim Driscoll, the world's featherweight boxing champion and winner outright of the Lonsdale belt, has definitely announced his retirement from the ring. Connie Mack's fortune is estimated by some of his close friends at $250, 000. One hundred and fifty-one thousand fans paid a total of $325,980 to see the world's series. Connie Mack declares that the Athletics in 1914 will, barring accidents, run first for the top honors. Is Eddie Collins more valuable than Jack Barry? Baseball scribes and fans answer "yes" and managers say "no." The Athletic players have rechristened Schang, the young catcher of the world champions, "Walloping Wallie." To Ray Keating fell the honor to be the first New York pitcher to defeat the Red Sox on New York ground in two years. Cincinnati has, released Pitcher Herbert, once of Shreveport and Austin in the Texas league, to Montreal of the International. Jawn J. McGraw has now equaled the world's record formerly held by Hugh Jennings of losing three consecutive world's championships. A. G. Spalding predicts that after the conclusion of the present Giant-White Sox world's tour baseball will become an international game. Walter Johnson always said that there wasn't a pitching staff in either league that could stop the heaving batting of the Athletics, and he was right. Harking back to 1909, when Detroit made its last assault on the world's championship, Hugh Jennings calls Leslie Bush the Babe Adams of the 1910 series. Just now Babe Adams has been representing himself against the Clevelanders. . . . Lee Garvin has been retained as manager of the Portsmouth club in the Virginia league for next season. Jack Barry, the star shortstop of the Athletics, is one player whose name is seldom seen in print, but still he is classed as the best of all shortstops. Connie Mack is one of the few managers who believes in college diamonds as recruiting fields. Connie has developed more college players than any other manager. --- WIT and HUMOR SUGGESTION FOR A BALLOON Philadelphia Youngster Would Install Quarter-in-the-Slot Meter When Gas Began to Run Low. When the balloon Philadelphia II passed over the city a few days ago the children in one of the public schools were at recess. A teacher, who took advantage of the opportunity to give the children a practical lesson, went out into the school yard, and, calling the children together, gave a talk about balloons, says the Philadelphia Record. Among other things she told them that what they saw comic down was sand, which they throw out to lighten the balloon so it would go up higher. After they returned to the school room she asked questions regarding what they had seen. Among other things she scolded: Didn't Know Woman Wearing "Outrageous Get-Up" Was Wife of Friend He Was Talking To. It happened in the park one Sunday morning. Todd and Edgeley were sitting there together, discussing, needless to say, the eternal and feminine question. "Yes," said Todd, "I quite agree with you; the way women dress nowadays is positively absurd." "It's worse than that," added Edgeley. "What's more, in nine cases out of ten, their men folk are to blame." Todd sighed. "I suppose that is so," he remarked. "Yes. Look at that woman coming toward us now. I'll bet you anything you like that her husband tells her she looks positively charming when she goes out in that outrageous get-up, just because he hasn't the pluck to say the truth to laugh at her to—" But Todd had risen to his feet; and, hat in hand, a happy smile upon his face, was awaiting the lady thus referred to. The lady was Edgeley's wife!—London Answers. Slightly Overcome. "A naturalist contributes an article to a magazine in which he writes a highly colored description of how on one occasion the wild denizens of the jungle came down to a river's shore to drink." "I suppose he was lying somewhere?" "Yes, and I rather suspect he was lying when he wrote his magazine article." A Modest Man. An Irishman was walking along the bank of a river, when he heard a man, in the middle of the stream cry out for help. He paid no attention to the man's cries. "Help! Help! I can't swim!" came the voice again, and the Irishman scornfully shouted back: "Well, shut up. I can't swim either, but, begorra, I don't go 'round bragging about it." Slumming. "My good man," said the leader of the slumming party, "can you have the tango danced for us?" "I don't permit the tango, mum," responded the owner of the dance hall. "Have you the audacity to criticise dances that are danced in the best society? I ain't criticising society, mum, but if I permitted dances like them, I'd lose my license."—Judea STUPID. Mrs. Sweet—I suppose you must have had a perfectly lovely time at that mountain hotel. Mrs. Swift—No; it was awfully stupid.

Philadelphia Youngster Would Install Quarter-In-the-Slot Meter When Gas Began to Run Low. When the balloon Philadelphia II passed over the city a few days ago the children in one of the public schools were at recess. A teacher, who took advantage of the opportunity to give the children a practical lesson, went out into the school yard, and, calling the children together, gave a talk about balloons, says the Philadelphia Record. Among other things she told them that what they saw comed down was sand, which they throw up to lighten the balloon so it would go up higher. After they returned to the school room she asked questions regarding what they had seen. Among other things she asked: "If the man wanted the balloon to go up higher and the gas in the bag was not enough to take it up, what would he do?" A little youngster said, very seriously: "Why, he would put a quarter in the meter and get more gas." He Knew Their Names. They were discussing the North American Indian the other day in the primary room of a district school, when the teacher asked if any one could tell what the leaders were called. "Chiefs," announced a bright little girl at the head of the class. "Correct," answered the teacher, "and now can any of you tell me what the women were called?" There was a moment of silence, then a small boy's hand was seen waving aloft, eager to reply. "Well, Johnny?" asked the teacher, "Mischiefs," he proudly announced.

WEDDING GOWN THE SAME Therein Fashion Decrees No Change and the Going-Away Apparel May Be of One's Own Choice— Features in Bridemaids' It is in the outline that the autumn bride differs from her predecessors of the spring. The general, sloppy, uncorseted effect that was hinted at in the first part of the year has become an accomplished fact with the fall. It has taken just about six months for the woman of fashion to reject the so-called natural figure and then exercise her feminine prerogative and accept it. Only the vanguard of fashion's followers have as yet accepted the new silhouette, but the bride is among the number, and the up-to-date corsetes are making dainty little abdomen pads to accompany the corsets the bride-elect has ordered for the trousseau. Worn with a gown showing the "hitched-up" drapery or the bouffant flouncees and tunic, the result is an outline radically different from the straight lines of last year and even of the spring. Fabrics for Wedding Gown. There will be very little change in the materials for the bride's gown of gowns. The beautiful brocaded satins with metallic threads of gold and silver, preferably silver, will be combined with chiffon and the plain satin in many of the more pretentious bridal robes, and velvet, the soft, supple, coweb, velvet, will also be used extensively. Both of these fabrics make ideal court trains, and the long, flowing trains made famous by Watteau are being copied in these exquisite stuffs. There is a train of brocaded satin practically falling from the shoulders and flaring out over the hips, as if concealing only partially the bustle like arrangement of the draperies in the back. The train may end in a long point, not unlike the fish tail of other years, or it may be extended in two snakey points, or again it may be square. The new front train, which created such a sensation on one of the ball gowns at the openings, is not practical for the wedding gown. Chiffon in Combination. The skirt itself may be of any silken stuff, plain or brocaded, but it is almost sure to be combined with chiffon, and the chiffon is equally sure to fall in bouffant drapings, reminiscent of the panniers of other days. Today these drapings go by the name of flouces, for everything that falls from the waist line is either a flouce or a tunic. Though the greatest fulness comes between the knees and the hips, the newest gowns show a tendency to bring this fulness to the back and bunch it in an unmistakable suggestion of the bustle. The waist is a transparent creation, so sheer and diaphanous that the protection of the tulle vell, meagre as it is, is deemed obligatory by the more conservative. The gown in the sketch shows a jacket like arrangement of the brocaded satin which takes away, to a certain extent, the startling, naked appearance of the more transparent corsages. Bridesmaids Frock. So many of the new features are adopted in the bridesmaid's frock that it would serve as an excellent model for the dinner gown of the bride. The draping of yellow satin is daring, but so well done that one is compelled to admire. It swathes the knees, but below this point hangs in loose draperies, caught to give the slight slumbreance of trousers. It is only when the wearer steps that this slumbreance is noticeable, and then not to an objectionable extent. The tunic of chiffon is frankly one of the lamp shade genre, though it is not wired. Instead it is weighted so that it swails with the movements of the body, rather than flares out as the stiffer wired or boned tunes do. An edging of fur effectually conceals the subterfuges necessary to produce this undulating, rhythmic motion. No Waist Line There has not been the slightest attempt to distinguish a waist line, except at the sides, where the surplice draping of the fur edging may be said to follow the line of the normal waist. The effect of the brown fur against the blouse drapings of the yellow chiffon is charming. Equally happy results may be obtained by substituting ermine and rose colored chiffon. The "blousey" effect is continued in the loose drapings of the chiffon under the arm. A hat of shirred chiffon in the niniche shape completes this costume, and to match the frock a band of the fur is used as a frame to the face. Instead of the flaring bow of ribbon at the back a mount of pastel tinted ostrich plumes nods toward the crown. The huge yellow chiffon muff is edged with fur and the drapings are caught with pink roses. "Going Away" Costume It is not always easy to select a suitable "going away" costume, for it cannot be as severe as the tailored suit which the bride vill later use as a general utility suit, nor should it be as dressy as the so-called "dressy" tailored costume, the three-piece Afraid She'd 'Pill Some. High cost of living and tariff on sugar have no terrors for Julia Anne McCaslin, age four. Julia Anne's mother sent her to the grocery for an order of sugar that had been left out of the delivered order. Julia came back with about half of the sack full of sugar, the upper part of the bag tightly twisted in her chubby fist. Mrs. McCaslin was on the verge of calling the grocery to inquire if sugar had doubled in price, when she decided to question Julia first. suitls she will wear later when she returns her calls and leaves her cards at teas and receptions. Like this suit, however, it is generally of the three-piece type. Duvetyn has solved the problem for many brides, as it is classed among the materials for the costume tailleur, and yet it is not as severe as serge, tweed or even velours de laune, for it has a silky face which makes it dressy. The model shown in the sketch is an unusually good one for the "going away" costume. It is developed in a new serpent green duvetyn, as green bright enough to answer the fad for brilliant colorings, and yet not as vivid as emerald. The skirt may be fashioned in many ways—plain, with the slight slashing at the side, as is shown in the sketch, with a little drapery at one side, or with the straight tunic effect. Even the peg-top model could be adopted with success, for the decided flare in the skirt of the jacket would make it possible to wear a skirt that had considerable fulness over the hips. Military Note. There is a decided military note struck in the trimming of the jacket, a note which the younger generation is sounding, but it strikes out of tune when attached to the gement of the dowager. The belt of this suit is of black satin drawn through an embroidered medallion in which yellow, purple and green are combined with the art of the Oriental. It is a daring use of color, but it focuses the gown, as it were, in a more effective way. A Model of golden brown moire. Narrow skirt edged with three rows of fur. Corsage of white lace with fur edging. than if the girdle had been of a contrasting brilliant color used in so many of the new girdles and sashes. The fur collar fits the neck smugly—almost too closely for the days of Indian summer, but it may be made so that it can be detached. A band of the fur outlines the upper edge of the cuff. Duvetyn Hats Besides this suit, the bride will require a rough suit for hard wear, one of serge, volours de haine or tweed. It will be smartest if kept severe in its simplicity as poiret is showing inverted pleats around the bottom of his skating and utility suits. When he uses pleats in this way he repeats the idea in the skirt, or peplum, portion of the coat. There is sure to be a suggestion of the Russian blouse in an informal coat of this kind from Poiret. All of these coats are so loose and shapeless that they require a belt of some kind to hold them at the low waist line so that they cannot "slouch" away entirely. The motor coat, which is a necessity in the trousseau, reveals the same shapeless, loose, "blousy" effect. A chusable collar and deep cuffs of fur may be added if desired. Calling Costume of Velvet Calling Costume or Velvet. Still another street costume will be required by the bride, and that is the three-piece dress costume for calling and receptions. This season the first choice is velvet, and probably black velvet, for there is nothing so chic as the black velvet costume. The new velvents are so supple that they can be draped like chiffon. The upper part of the waist is made of chiffon or transparent velvet of chiffon, and the velvet serves as the lower and "staying" part of the bodice. Fur collar and cuffs are an integral feature of this suit, and the effect is very handsome when the collar is extended to form reverses of fur. Ostrich plumes and feathery fantasies are used for the trimmings of the fairly large hats, one the sailor order, which should accompany such a costume.—New York Tribune. When Sprinkling Clothe If you wish to iron your clothes immediately after you sprinkle them, try dampening them with hot water. Roll them tightly for a moment or two, shake them out well and iron with a hot iron.

GIRL'S DRESS. 6305 This very simple frock offers one element of novelty in the arrangement of the shoulders where the material extends over the sleeve. The closing is in front and there is an unusual collar arrangement at the neck. A belt confines the very slight fulness at the waist. This model will be pretty in gingham, linen or rauine. The dress pattern (6305) is cut in sizes 6, 8, 10 and 12 years. Medium size requires 2% yards of 36 inch material. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper.

For aeroplanes of equal span, cross-section, aspect-ratio and angle of inclination, the monoplane has about 15 per cent. more lift than the bimane, and the speeds according to F. Hulley Page, the bridge designer. A monoplane has a smaller resistance than the corresponding bimane, but the difference is not great. What is gained in the monoplane by having no planes struts is lost, however, by the increased size of the undercarriage members for a given size of propeller. For machines having an area of 250 to 275 square feet the monoplane is conceded to be the more economical type, but beyond this point the bimane is superior. Woman's Triumph. An Atchison woman had peach pie on the table for three days, and her husband didn't touch it. Then she cut the pie into shreds and mixed them up in a pudding, and he ate the pudding and all in a ravenous manner, and never knew the pie was there. She is elated over the victory, and is telling all of her friends about it.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. Sense of Security "Those life guards give you a sense of security," said one man. "Yes," replied the other. "If a girl has to be rescued you can call a life guard instead of running the risk of having her throw her arms around your neck, calling you her preserver and making you feel as if you are under obligation to start a romance."
