Lincoln Beachey Also Loops the Loop in Biplane. Daring American Aviator Re-estab lishes Himself as the Equal at Least of Any Airman San Diego, Cal.-By flying upside down and looping the loop in an airplane, Lincoln Beachey, the daring aviator, re-established himself as the equal at least of any aviator in the world and accomplished what he came to San Diego less than a week ago to do. The machine used by Beachey was a Curtiss biplane, reconstructed by himself with a view to gaining additional strength. Beachey was in the air 10 minutes. Ascending to a height of 3,500 feet the aviator turned the biplane upside down and flew in a straight line for a considerable distance. He then plunged straight downward at a terrific speed until about half way to earth, when he made the loop. This was accomplished in about a second's time and with apparent ease and wonderful grace. GORROBORATES CHARGE WITNESS SAYS 43 CONTRACTORS WERE FORCED TO GIVE TO CAMPAIGN FUND. New York City.—George H. McGuire of Syracuse, pale and often weak of memory, whispered corroboration of charges made by John A. Hennessy against grafting politicians in a relentless three-hour ordeal before District Attorney Charles S. Whitman. He said 43 contractors had been forced to make campaign contributions to politicians in 1912, and that Everett Fowler of Kingston had been appointed at a meeting between C. Gordon Reel, former superintendent of highways; Norman E. Mack, Democratic state chairman, and John A. Dix, then governor of New York, to make some of these collections. While this testimony was being given, active investigation of alleged graft in the state highway departments and barge canal construction work was begun in Albany by James W. Osborne, assisted by Arthur T. Warren. RAID LIQUOR-COIN PLANT ARREST TWO CHARGED WITH COUNTERFEITING BRANDY AND MONEY. Troy, N. Y.-Counterfeting liquor as well as counterfeting money will be charged against Charles Ash and Edward Berry, under arrest here as the result of a raid in which a money making plant and a quantity of unfinished bills were seized. The police found in Barry's home an outfit for making brandy and a stock of forged labels. Four hundred bottles of the counterfeting liquor were located in Troy saloons. Tells of Ancient Booze. Albany, N. Y.—Fermented marsh's milk and not John Barleycorn was the foe prohibitionists had to fight in the days of the ancients, W. W. Farley, state commissioner of excise, declared in an address here. "The most ancient of all intoxicating beverages was made from mare's milk, set aside and allowed to ferment," he said. "This drink was called 'koumias.'" Farley said the solution of the liquor question lies in the public being taught to use a nonintoxicating substitute for beer. EXPOUNDS DYNAMIC THEORYOFRELIGION Author Interprets Spiritual Phases of Modern Life. Says in the Twentieth Century We Are Grasping a New Truth of the Conception of God as a Trinity. San Francisco, Cal.-In an address which his hearers characterized as one of the most remarkable interpretations of spiritual phases of modern life ever found in the city, Winston Churchill, the author, expounded the new dynamic theories of religion and philosophy to an audience which filled every seat in Trinity Episcopal church. Churchill's sermon was a thoughtful survey of the entire trend of thought, since Adam Smith gave the impetus to modest industrialism, in laying the basis for the competitive system, through the agnosticism and skepticism following Spencer's synthetic philosophy to the later more spiritual interpretations of Bergson and Ecken. He said in part: Grasping New Thought. "In the twentieth century we are grasping a new truth of the conception of God as a trinity. For there is a third sense in which we conceive Him as the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God in His dynamic aspect. God as inspiration, motive power, the current of reality in the universe, who moves all things, the stars in their courses, the comets flashing through space, who impels the insect to fertilize the flower; yes, and who speaks by the prophets, who moves a Lincoln to utter sublime truths at Gettysburg. We perceive, too, that the consecration of the Holy Ghost is also a synthetic conception. He is at once the force in nature and the force in the prophet. Dynamic Idez of God. "The dynamic idea of God runs through all our modern thought and is harmonizing, at least, what we have called science and what we have called religion. Great thinkers? Thinkers are interpreters of what the masses feel. There is one prominent philosopher of today who has captivated the imaginations of many of us because he has been able to express and in language wonderfully poetic something which we feel to be true. Without going into the question of how instinct may be differentiated from intelligence, suffice it to say that Bergson defines instinct in a man as that which speaks and acts from the inner current of reality which is the creative force, the life force, the elan vital. Whenever man puts himself, so to speak, in the path of this current, he becomes candleless with it and utters the wisdom of God himself." WILL PROBE THE SALE PRICE OF FOODSTUFFS IN HANDS OF MONOPOLIES. Washington, D. C.—As soon as the currency bill is passed President Wilson will turn the energies of congress on to antitrust legislation. His plans and those of congressmen he has consulted are: Regulating the sale price of foodstuffs in the hands of trusts and monopolies. Regulating the operations of the refrigerating trust. Preventing interlocking directorates. Making it a misdemeanor for any corporation, firm or person to discriminate between different sections by selling any commodity or article of merchandise in one community at a price lower than that at which the same commodity is sold in another section when the intent is to secure a monopoly or drive a competitor out of business. ACCUSED OF KILLING TWO WOMAN IS HELD ON THE CHARGE OF GARROTTING HER CHILDREN. Johnstown, Pa. — Charged with having garrotted her two children, boys, two and three years old respectively, and then attempting to hang herself, Amelia Seabolt Banko, 26, of Portage. Mrs. Banko was staying at the home of her father, Wilhelm Seabolt. Mrs. Banko was found with a man's belt drawn tightly around her neck, suspended from a nail in the wall. In the bee were the bodies o'f the two boys with clothes line tightly knotted around their necks. Both were dead. Deserted by Her Eiance Sharon, Pa.—Deserted on the eve of her wedding, Miss Mary Cuncie has asked the police to locate her fiance, Steve Cuncie, Cuncie, who was employed at the Sharon Steel Hoop mill, awa to marry Miss Cuncie Sunday. Saturday night, however, he disappeared. He is alleged to have left an unpaid board bill of $48, and Constable George Bird has attached his wages at the mill. Miss Cuncie, heartbroken, went to police headquarers Sunday and asked the police to search for her fiance. MISS HELEN HUNTINGTON Specially posed photograph of Miss Helen Dinsmore Huntington of Staatsburg, N. Y., whose engagement to Vincent Astor has been announced. Body of Woman Is Discovered in Cellar. Drug Clerk Is in Highly Nervous Condition and Tells Disconnected Story After Being Placed Pittsburgh, Pa.—The body of Mrs. Mame Greineisen, 35 years old, wife of Oliver Greineisen, a West End drug clerk, was found late Monday lying face downward on a cinder pile in the cellar of C. A. Givens' pharmacy, in the south side of the city. Practically nude, the body was scratched and bruised. The woman's left eye was discolored and her hair knotted and unkempt. Michael L. Sweeney, a drug clerk employed in the Givens pharmacy, was arrested in the store a few minutes after the woman's body was found. Sweeney was in a highly nervous condition and told a disconnected story of how the woman reached the cellar. He said Mrs. Greineisen walked into the Givens pharmacy about 8 o'clock Sunday night almost nude, and that he and "Tom Hawkins" or "Harkins" picked her up and carried her into the cellar. Mumbling in coherently, Sweeney was locked in a police station cell and was later turned over to the coroner. A search is being made for the "Tom" mentioned by Sweeney. The authorities doubt the story told by Sweeney to Mrs. Greineisen's appearance at Givens' pharmacy, claiming it impossible for a woman almost nude to walk through a number of streets early Sunday evening without detection. The police found the body dressed in a short dressing sack, a white underskirt, two stockings and one shoe. Thrown over the body was a ragged heavy dark cape. A short skirt had been cut down the back. Blood had been flowing from the woman's mouth and the body was lacerated from the cinders. The body was discovered in the cellar through a remark alleged to have been made by Sweeney to a neighbor "that a woman was in the cellar." The police were notified. As the body was being carried to a morgue ambulance, Sweeney's nervous condition attracted the attention of Captain of Police Henry J. Alt. On being questioned Sweeney told who the woman was. "She came in here about $ 0'clock Sunday night," he said, "without any clothes on. She made a noise and Tom and I carried her down to the cellar." The woman's husband is employed by his father as a clerk in a West End drug store. SULZER TRIAL COST HIGH SULZER TRIAL COST HIGH EXPENSES ALREADY $50,000 MORE THAN THE $75,000 ORIGIN. ALLY APPROPRIATED. Albany, N. Y—Bills for the expenses incurred at the trial of impactment of former Gov. Sulzer, not including counsel fees, already total $50,000 more than the $75,000 origi- ally appropriated to conduct the trial. Vouchers lied with the state controller show that $75,000 already has expended and many unpaid bills remain. It is believed that a special bill for $50,000 will be introduced in the assembly to meet the extraordinary expenses. Thus far $46,153.12 has been paid to senators and members of the board of managers, and some money is still due them. The pay of employees was $8,395.70. One of the largest single items of expense is for the salaries and expenses of detectives. Boy Three Smokes Cigars Winsted, Ct.-John Lippke, Jr., the three-year-old son of John Lippke of Waterbury, has been smoking three cigars a day for the past two years without visible effect on his constitution. He also smokes cigarettes and a pipe. The boy seems to take delight in inhaling the smoke and will block one nostril and blow smoke out of the other. His mother says whenever the boy is with her in the business section he stops in front of every tobacco store they come to and cries for the cigars which he sees in the window. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- More than 5,000 persons crowded the Twelfth Regiment armory at New York some few nights ago, where the emancipation celebration is being held. The meeting was the occasion of the lawyers' congress, held under the auspices of the emancipation committee. On the stage were seated colored attorneys of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, together with others prominent in business and professional life. The speakers of the evening were Edward H. Morris of Chicago, S. O. T. Watkins of Chicago and City Councilman Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore. The congress was presided over by James D. Carr, a colored attorney of this city, who has for ten years been connected with the corporation counsel's office. Carr is a Baltimore by birth. Councilman Cummings said in part: "Coming as I do from dear old Maryland, the birthplace of so many distinguished representatives of our race the birthplace of our matchless leader, Frederick Douglass, of Henry Highland Garnet, who labored so long and successfully in this city; of Ben jamin Benneker, of Bishops Handy and Wayman, of Frances Ellen Handy and Wayman, of Frances Ellen Handy, that saintly woman of our race and many others, I am proud to have the honor of participating in those exercises in celebration of the 50 years of achievements of our race and proud to know that so many men and women who first saw the light of day on Maryland soil helped largely to bring these great things to pass. "I am asked to speak to you on "The Signs of the Times." No words of mine can speak more powerfully or convincingly of the progress of our race during the past half century than can the cold statistical figures. It is not for us to say that we have reduced our illiteracy unless we can prove it. "We will rightfully fail to prove that we have made remarkable steps from poverty by mere words. Bank accounts and property of various kinds speak louder than words. Happily we have in the last 50 years demonstrated our capacity to succeed as other races and people have and along the same lines, and the fact that we have shown capacity is a most hopeful sign. But with all that we have done, marvelous though it has been; with the glorious record of the past, encouraging as it is to us all—well might we pause and ask the watchman on the wall, "What of the night?" "What are the signs of promise?" To me the prospect is bright." "Co-operation" was the big theme at a meeting of all the colored teachers in the public schools, held at the M Street high school, at Washington, D. C. Henry P. Blair, president of the board of education; Dr. William M. Davidson, superintendent of schools; Capt. James F. Oyster, former president of the board; R. C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools; Mrs. Caroline W. Harris, Dr. Charles H. Marshall and Dr. Creed W. Childs, all members of the board, were speakers. Dr. Davidson said that in the fundamental principles of education all educators were agreed and that their differences were only in the application of the details. He declared that no "esprit de corps" existed which was quite so fine as that among teachers. This, he said, was due to the responsibilities which they shared. The liquor manufactured in Malaga, Spain, called ojen, and which has begun to meet with some favor in the United States under that name, is really a sweet aniseet, colorless, and containing 38 to 40 per cent. of alcohol. The ordinary aniseet—the Spanish national drink, aguardiente—is dry, ojen being exactly the same liquor sweetened. In the wine region of Spain the method of treading the grapes is everywhere about the same. The grapes are well spread out in the press and barefooted men or men wearing sandals or wooden-soled shoes tread them. --- President Wilson received by express a few days ago a fine fat opossum. "I am an old slave-time darkey," wrote Joe Farrow of McFarlan, N. C., the sender. "I heard that some one sent you a sweet potato the other day. Here is a 'possum to go with it.'" Full stops were introduced into English literature in 1520, colons in 1580 and semicolons in 1599. East Africa has come forward with a new wood suitable for lead pencils at a time when the supply of American cedar, so largely employed for that purpose, is approaching exhaustion. A Georgia girl has sold enough tomato worms to fishermen for bait, to pay for working and harvesting her crop of tomatoes. Cuba in 1912 bought $3,000,000 worth of boots and shoes from the United States. youth of this city should "give a good account of themselves," as they were given opportunities greater than those enjoyed by colored children anywhere else, he said. He assured the teachers that the policy of the board in affording equal facilities for white and colored children would be continued. Captain Oyster spoke of his "continuing interest" in the schools, and reminded the teachers and officials that they would always find him ever ready to serve them. Mr. Bruce explained that the University of Chicago has allowed an advanced standing to graduates of Normal School No. 2, and added that the officials of Howard university had a similar plan under consideration. With these additional opportunities Mr. Bruce he hoped more teachers would take the opportunity of furthering their education. Mrs. Herris emphasized the need of teachers exemplifying in themselves the things which they taught. She said they should always strive to set a good example. Dr. Marshall complimented the teachers on the progress which, he says, has been made in the colored schools, and spoke of the spirit of cooperation existing. Dr. Childs emphasized the need for proper discipline and respect for authority. He also discussed the vocational schools and the department of business practice in the colored schools. An exhibition, or more properly, exposition, managed wholly by Negroes, was held in the Twelfth Regiment armory at New York, in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro race and the progress made by the race since emancipation Hundreds of wealthy Negroes and whites all over the United States contributed financially toward the exposition. The legislature of New York state appropriated $25,000 for the project, but that was not nearly sufficient. The difference was made up by those interested in the welfare of the Negro race. One wealthy Negro, owner of thirteen plantations in the south, and said to be worth close to a million dollars, gave a large sum. Delegations were present from Santo Domingo, Haytl and Liberia, the Negro republics. Haytl's delegation received especial attention from the American Negroes because of the fact that Haytl's first president was a Negro slave. The exposition lasted four days. A series of pageants showing the progress of the race was held. The first of these showed the Negroes in Africa a thousand years ago, teaching other natives of that country, not Negroes, how to wield iron. The second pageant showed Negroes in the Valley of the Nile and their first meeting with the Egyptains. The third pageant was entitled "The Rise of Ambition," and showed the race under Mohammedan rule. Then followed the slave trade in Africa and the bringing of slaves to America. Struggles of the race in the south were shown, and then the fight for freedom that followed, Frederick Douglass working with other Negroes, and white men like John Brown and William Lloyd Garrison. The final tableau showed "The Hope and Encouragement for the Future of the Negroe Race." French scientists say dogs spread consumption. Seventy million dollars have been expended by the reclamation service since the passing of the reclamation act in 1902, and $48,000,000 is available for use in the next four years, every cent of which will in time be returned to the treasury, according to the last report of the secretary of the Nationall irrigation congress. Boys in a fresh-air school in Buffalo, N. Y., prune, the orchard trees on the school grounds, grow catalpa trees for future transplanting, study bird whistles and notes as they hear them in the orchard, and incidentally acquire a valuable insight into the main principles of forestry. While the average amount of water used daily in the cities of the United States varies from 50 to 150 gallons per capita, there is an almost uniform consumption of a little more than half a gallon by each person for drinking purposes. In Atlanta, Ga., in the last nine months, 13,000 new dwelling houses have been erected. There are 247 newspapers published in South Africa, in which $7,500,000 is invested. They give employment to 4,000 Europeans and 650 colored people. Applying electrical currents to the base of the brain, a Berlin physician has found a way to give sleep to the sleepless.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1913. ‘We are republishing our letter to the managing editor of the Cleve- land Daily Plain Dealer and his reply to it, because. several typographical errors crept into the former which we desire to eliminate. Editor R. R, Wright, Jr, of the Christian Recorder, charged Rev. J. 1. Lowe, manager of the paper and the A. M. B. Book Concern, Philadelphia, Pa., with being arrested for drunken- ness, and produced an affidavit trom the records of the Third Precinct Po: Mice station, that city, to prove his charge, and yet he as well as Lowe were dismissed by the Publication Board of the A, M. B. Church. In explaining this reprehensible action Eaitor Wright says: “It seems that after Jr. Lowe was found to be gullty of my charge, he being an old man and Ta young one sympathy turned to him. ‘They could not exonerate him, but they would punish me for exposing him. Thus T'was ecctesiastically lynched.” “Heclesiastically lynched” is good very good! Dr. Wright, ‘The Church wili yet appreciate and reward you for your Christian stand against drunkenness.

THE LETTERS TO MRS. V. D. GREEN, ‘We call the attentign of our read. ets, particularly those of the city of Cleveland, to our letters to Mrs. Vir ginia D. Green, member of the local School Board, published elsewhere in this paper, and wish to warn the ‘par ents of our school children, particu larly those, members. of our City Federation of Women's clubs, that ‘there is need of prompt action on thelr part to stop the thing com- plained of.. It is made so clear by Secretary Beyer, in hls communcia- tion to Mrs, Green, that it ought not to be necessary for us to say more at this time. Bternal vigilance, which also means activity, is the price we must pay for our rights, Privileges and proper treatment, not only in the public schools of this celty, Dut th almost everything else, in this prefudiceridden country.

Again wo warn our people of this community, partioularly our City Fed. ‘eration of Women's clubs and the Ministers’ Union, that a studied at- fempt upon the part off local officials jo being made to formulate plans for the segregation of our dependent und incorrigible children. Coming down- town one day last week on a street car, @ local official began such a line of talk with the editor of The Ga- zette, with the result that she was told in plain English that until there Was segregation of the dependent and incorrigible German-American and Irish-American children, and those of other classes or nationalities, there would be no segregation of Atro- American children in public institu tons in this community, and that the Sooner she dismissed the idea, the better it would be for all concerned, Although born and reared in Cleve- land, where she has spent her entire Ufe, she is almost a proselyte of a “smooth” southern woman, on this particular matter. No one knows bet ter, now, than the average southerner how credible the average northerner is,.when the former discusses the “Negro” with the latter. They “swallow whole” almost anything the average southerner tells them about the “Negro,” when as a matter of fact the average northerner knows more “in a minute” about the northern.

Mr. Erie C. Hopwood, Managing Ed- itor, the Cleveland Plain Dealer: Dear Sir—The enclosed clipping is from this morning's Plain Dealer. Of the several daily papers in this city, it fs 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 fair- hess, a8 a rule, in its references to them and its uniformly broadminded treatment of matters of prime inter- est 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 in- telligent Jews regard the like mongrel term or word, “sheeny,” when ap- plied to them; the Irish, “mick,” when applied to them, ete, T take it that the Plain Dealer is too high class ‘and excellent a news. paper 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 Deal: er to any other local daily newspaper, may continue our kindly feeling and preference for it. Yours very truly, HARRY C. SMITH. Editor Hopwood’s Splendid Reply. Meveand, U., November Cin, 2749. Hon, Harry C. Smith, editor Gazette: My. dear Sir:—i am very glad you were kind enough to write me on No vember 1st, and call our atteation to the use of the word “darky” as being objectionable to many of your people. Tam frank to say that I did not know that the yvord was objectionable, It had always appealed to me as a word which indicated affection and real kindly sentiment existing between the people of the South and the Colored race. I shall, however, request our men not to use the word, I thank you for your kind expres- ‘sions in regard to the Plain Dealer. 1 ‘trust you appreciate the fact that the Plain Dealer is anxious to do anything ‘in its power to promote the advance- ment and progress of your people, that {t would not willingly use a word or do a thing which even by inuendo might do an injury or bring in any desree into disrepute so worthy a class of ‘our population, Yours very truly, Erie C, Hopwood, Managing Editor. —-—— OUR’ NEWSPAPERS! What They Mean to the Race—The ‘elt atethmanere? Who has not been depressed and @isgusted on picking up one of the Bie daiiies and having some qlarits headline to chill your heart with an account of some “bloody Murder”— “Negro Lynched,” “Race Riot” or some other Satanic attraction? ‘All have experienced this. disagrse- able feeling. Indeed, 60 often does this happen that we ‘are schooled to look for the sensational in our news: papers and are disappointed when we do not receive lt, And the page with- out its “Murder” and “Divorce Scan- @al” is treated with indifference by many and entirely ignored by others. ‘As usual this tendency toward the morbid finds studied expression con- cerning the Negro and it is he who is victimized and used to furnish news of that sort which a certain class ‘seem to gloat over. ‘The sins of the big dailies may be said to partake of both offices, the “commission ahd “omission,” when dealing with the Negro. Commission when they publish exaggerated —ac- counts which are detrimental to us, and Omission when they are silent on the elevating facts and happenings af, the Race. it fs to the Negro newspaper we must look for that fountain of in- spiration which soothes and sustains: which buoys up our thonghts and guides along the ways of hope.

If we want better pa- pers, we must give;better support in the way of pald subscriptions, for @ll papers live or die according to a strong or weak constituency.

And Makes a Strong Defense—Hil Answer to the question of the Du Bois Club. November 17, 1913 Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: Once more in final defense, I repeat that I did not "fall to make good." Nothing stated by mouth of letter, do I retract. Furthermore, I will lay bare the facts to the public and it can judge for itself. Nobody believes more firmly than I do in fairness in transactions, truthfulness of statements, and frankness in all relations with everybody. And inasmuch as the president of the Du Bois club says that she cannot sitidly by and see their action and fruitful efforts condemned without explanation, just so far will I, too, not fear that my scholarship achievements to shreds without some resentment. Until a few days prior to Oct. 15, I had relied upon the support of the club, based upon past assurances. I thought that at the close of the first semester in February, I would be in a more substantial position to help myself. But rumors of the action of the club reached me before I had been notified. Therefore, rather than wait and be kicked out, that inspired me to write and hand in my resignation sooner than the other person, my resignation from handing in the resignation to Mrs. Glmere. I found the notification waiting. Now, in all fairness, I ask, suppose I had joined school without means, relying upon their supposed support, do you see the position I would have been in. A most embarrassing one. The president quotes that in next week's issue of the Gazette will appear, believe me, of the person who has been rest assured under the circumstances there is absolutely no embarrassment on my part. Possibly, though, the club might be a little embarrassed when I call your attention to the fact that from time to time they would announce publicly that Mr. Ballard was getting along with the club have been keeping in touch with me, to later reudicate these statements and herald publicly my school work as a failure? Now, to further analyze the club's letter, a little: I appreciate the fact that their original idea was to support a worthy girl, but it is not giving me a square deal. I say in fairness, to return to that idea by riding roughshod. At my first appearance before the club, I used the term, "making good." Possibly the term "failure to make good" was not understood. I will explain it. A man employed on a job falls "to make good" when he impresses his employer that his work is very unsatisfactory and, therefore, he must be more careful. My case is analogous. During the school year we had seven subjects and twelve examinations thereon. Six semi-annually. If I had failed in four or six examinations and failed to carry on my daily school work, thereby rendering my work unsatisfactory, then I would have failed "to make good progress." If there was a failure in the two examinations, "Contracts and Criminal Law," as the president quoted as her proof, the opportunity is given every student to remove this disability and have a clean record. That I failed in a subject, then, too, was to be some ground for their charges, because the word, very few people go through a school without a missip in an examination. Then, too, these were subjects in which I did not get a chance to attend a class and was handicapped in several ways. It is really absurd to imagine me with so brilliant a mind that I can be absent in classes and pass, whereas a number of the other students were present at about every class and failed. In conclusion, then, the only thing as I see that has been proved is that the confidence and trust that I placed in the president, in confidential conversation, have been betrayed to the public. The public. All of my studies are second-year work. "Had I failed "to make good," would this be allowed? Leaving you and the public to pass upon my explanation, in which I have tried to be fair and, therefore, I remain. I respectfully. JOHN BALLARD SAM "TOLLING" HIM. Boston, Mass. — Nobody was knocked down or particularly jarred in the 12-round clash of those husky battlers, Gunboat Smith and Sam Langford, here, Monday evening.

Both men were in prime shape, and a slight gash under Langford's eye was the only mark on either man after the engagement. "Invincible Sam" is only "tolling" Smith into a match with a fat purse.

Either the Insulting Word "Darkies", or the Lesson, or the Book—A Matter Our City Federation of Women's Clubs Ought to Handle. In May, The Gazette's attention was called to the fact that the insulting word "darkies" occurs in the lesson that begins on page 103, "Jones Fourth Reader", used in the local public schools. Immediately we wrote Mrs. Virginia D. Green, member of the board of Education, a fine woman and a teacher of English, and we calling her attention to the matter and asking that she take steps to see that either the objectionable word, or the lesson in which it occurs, or "Jones Fourth Reader", be eliminated. We received the following letter in answer to our communication: Cleveland, May 30, 1913. My dear Mr. Smith: — enclose you a letter from Mr. Beyer relative to the matter of which you wrote me some time ago. I found this letter in the mail and my return home. I trust the explanation my be entirely satisfactory. Very truly, Virginia Darlington Green. BOARD OF EDUCATION. Educational Department. J. M. Frederick. May 16, 1918. Mrs. Virginia D. Green. Member of Board of Education, Cleveland, O. Dear Mrs. Green: I have looked into the complaint of Hon. Harry C. Smith, which was sent to you, concerning the use of the word "darkies" in the Jones Fourth Reader. This is one of the adopted text books of the schools. The articles to which Mr. Smith refers was written by the late General John B. Gordon of Georgia, who was a Confederate soldier, Governor of his state, and a member of the United States Senate. It is an article descriptive of life in the south before the Civil War. General Gordon wrote a description of the relations of the white people with their slaves, telling of the love and companionship existing between the black and the white boys, and also the white and black girls. In describing the festivities in which the Colored people took part he says on page 167 of the Jones Reader: "On the Fourth of July the great plantation barbecues marked the day for the darkies". Later, on the same page describing the Christmas festivities, he writes that darkies felt at liberty to creep into the 'white folk's house' at earliest dawn and often before dawn, on Christmas morning, and startle every member of the household by shouting: 'Christmas gift; everybody!' Of course all responded with a gift. Throughout the article, with these two exceptions General Gordon refers to the slaves as Negroes or the black people, and it seems to me that nobody who read the article with an open mind think that the intended to eat a discredit or insult upon the Negroes. Yours very truly, F. C. Beyer, Secretary to the Superintendent of Schools. Cleveland, June 22, 1913. Mrs. Virginia D. Green. No. 2118 E. 40th St. Dear Madam:—Your letter of May 30th, with enclosure arrived promptly, but was mislaid. In cleaning my desks, today, I came across it, and find that F. C. Beyer, the secretary to the superintendent of schools, has either failed to get the correct idea, or is merely "side-stepting" the point at issue. The use of the mongrel word, "darkey" by anyone, anywhere, and at any time, in the hearing of intelligent Colored people, is just as rank an insult as the use of the mongrel word, "mick" when applied to the Irish: "sheeny" to the Jew; "duck" to the German; "dutch" to the Dutch; That Gen. John B. Gordon of Georgia, used the mongrel word for any purpose whatever, does not weaken the foregoing in the slightest. As a matter of fact we do not wish "slave darky" stories to be foisted on our children, especially in the hearing of children of other classes. Both you and Mr. Beyer are too intelligent to fall to understand the reason for this without further explanation on my part. And the mongrel word, "married" last half of the last paragraph of F. C. Beyer's letter. What Gen Gordon "intended" is not pertinent. Permit me, Mrs. Green, to assure you that Mr. Beyer's explanation, as you can readily see, is anything but "entirely satisfactorily." And such a statement will do no harm in matter in earnest, with the view to having eliminated all such trash from books used or to be used in our public schools. As tax-payers and citizens, we are entitled to more consideration and be entitled to. To this, I feel sure you will agree. Very truly yours, Harry C. Smith. . IMPROVED CITIZENSHIP. Benefits the Entire Nation—A National Cause Writes a White Friend, a Southerner Now a New Yorker. The State Industrial School for Colored people, located at Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is doing a great work for the Colored race. Educating and elevating the Colored people to good citizenship is not a local matter, but a national one. It is positively the only solution of the race problem. The aim of this work is good is beyond calculation; the proof of this fact is seen in the blotting out all race friction in the community in which it is located. The institution is not an experiment, but a splendid reality being as important as any in the entire south for Colored people, save perhaps, only Hampton and Tuskegee. The lands, buildings, appliances, etc., cost about $50,000. One citizen tendered the trustees $5,000, provided they would raise $10,000, and another the sick and where Colored girls could be educated for trained nurses. His offer was accepted, and a splendid hospital has been built. The students of the school did much towards its erection. The State Legislature, seeing the good influence of the school through the trustees $12,000, provided they would raise the same amount. They must have outside aid to meet this offer, as they have taxed themselves to the limit to The Central Hat Shoppe near cor.

PANKHURST THINKS OF M'KENNA WIFE OF THE MINISTER FROM COSTA RICA EMPIRE TOUR FOR THE PRINCE OF WALES Like a romance reads the story of the career of Lord Strathcona, who, according to dispatches from Ottawa, Canada, has announced his intention of resigning his post as Canadian high commissioner to England when he reaches the ripe age of ninety-four early next year. Whoever has read his biography has not missed anything of importance in the history of the dominion for the past three-quarters of a century. Queen Victoria had just been crowned when Donald Smith, at the age of eighteen, left his home in Morayshire, Scotland, relinquishing the prospect of an easy life in the East Indian service to take his chances with adventure in the wild and isolated provinces which are now the dominion; and since Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst while in the detention pen at Ellis island was informed that the Washington authorities had granted permission to allow her to land in this country. A reporter took the first news of the decision to the fighting suffragette. She heard the tidings calmly. M. H. H. "I never doubted for a minute," said Mrs. Pankhurst, "that the American people would recognize the righteousness of my cause or of any fight for liberty, whether or not they believed in the means employed in making that fight." Mrs. Pankhurst packed her baggage and waited for the official confirmation of the order for her release. Commissioner Uhl told her she had just five minutes to catch the 12:30 transfer boat to Manhattan. She snapped the bag shut, and hurried to the landing. "Let me pay my respects to the matrons and officials of that institution," said Mrs. Pankhurst, pointing "The home reflects the personality of its mistress" is a saying old as fate. The Washington home of Mme. Calvo, wife of the minister from Costa Rica, is certainly not the exception that proves the rule. It it a vivid example of the proverb. MARY Think of big, high - cellled rooms, comfortably filled with furniture. There are great easy chairs, a dozen or so, in the drawing room. Cozy chairs they are too, restful to tired backs and temptingly peaceful to guests. The guest had been seated in the parlor just two minutes by the clock. She had been talking to Mme. Calvo just one minute, when all her theories of the home life of the minister from Costa Rica were verified. In came two sturdy boys. Big, sunburnt, clear-eyed fellows they were. Both children rushed up to Mme. Calvo, hugged her tight and kissed her hard. "Mother, dear," cried two excited voices almost in chorus, "father says we can have our bicycle. We are going to get it next week." Mme. Calvo smiled affectionately at her happy young sons, dismissed them laughingly, and remarked: "They are two of my eight children. Oh, no; I could never, never tell you all their names. The total would fill The order has gone forth from King George and Queen Mary that the prince of Wales is to be made an increasingly important figure in the life and the thought of the British empire.

At a recent meeting of the Munich Aurkerschlern Verein, Dr. Kretschmann exhibited a patient who about one year before had received an injection of paraffin in a paralyzed vocal cord band, with no ocular injury, rough and without much resistance, but now it has become natural. The position of the cord is also natural to a certain extent, but when the cords touch in phonation the arytenoid cartilage of the paralyzed side is seen to under- that day when the youth who is now Lord Strathcona threw in his lot with these provinces he has shared all their vicissitudes, and more than any other man, perhaps, been responsible for their development. As a trader and factor with the Hudson Bay company, he gained that family with the denizens of the wild northwest regions that stood him in good stead later as chief commissioner to inquire into the causes of the Red river rebellion. Sir Garnet Woolsey, who had been sent out to suppress the insurrection, said of Donald Smith: "His word was law in all that wide region." Perhaps the greatest service to the provinces of this farseeing Scot was consummated when he drove the last spike in the Canadian Pacific railway, and realized his dream of a united Canada. Lord Strathcona ascribes his remarkable health and longevity to his devotion to work. "Providence has favored me with a good constitution," he once said. "Then I have had plenty of work to do all my life, and there is no doubt that that is the best thing for keeping a man well and strong." to the immigration building after the boat had started. "They are delightful people—intelligent, sympathetic and kind. No, I did not have to convert the matrons to the suffrage cause. Women who have to earn their own living are all for it. Of course, there is a tendency in democratic countries to be somewhat inquisitorial; I have no criticism to make of your immigration law. I was glad to find that the men officials were also believers in suffrage. "The two people who will be sorrist for my admission to the country will be Asquith and McKenna." "Who is McKenna?" asked an American reporter, who did not recognize the name of the home secretary. "Hi!" said Mrs. Eankhurst with a triumphant laugh. "You know who Mrs. Pankhurst is, but you never heard of McKenna. Now, perhaps, you see why we have adopted militant measures. We have made ourselves felt and have made thought and action for our cause. "McKenna, my young friend, is the chief torturer of England. He is a narrow-minded, ignorant, pig-headed person. He is the negation of all liberal principles, though he calls himself a Liberal. As proof I cite this record, which shows that he has refused, since he has been in office, all pleas for mercy or suspension of the death penalty. That is my answer to "Who is McKenna?" a page. Well, if you will be so polite as to pretend you truly are interested, I'll have to confess that there are five big sons and three daughters. An active family? Oh, my. yes! I have no time for woman suffrage or things of that sort. When a woman has rearged a family like mine, I don't think she actually needs the vote to prove her place in society." Madame shrugged her shoulders and her brown eyes twinkled. "A mother of a large family has not much concern for outside interests of that sort. My music? Oh, please don't say that I am 'very musical'. I used to play. But now I have forgotten. I could not keep up my practicing when the babies were young. When they were awake they needed me, and when they were asleep I was afraid my playing would disturb them. You see, one cannot keep up her malletly accomplishments under such trying drawbacks," and madame laughed again. Moreover, she did not look as though she grieved one bit over the exactions of these sons and daughters that had made her "music rusty." A slightly dark-brained woman is the wife of the Costa Rican minister. Large of eye, with an intellectual face and a sensitive mouth, her mobile face is tensely interesting. At first her manner was just a bit shy. Then, when she talked for a few moments, she grew animated and enthusiastic. She is the sort of a woman who will not admit a stranger to her friendship until she has tried that stranger and found her worthy. Senior Salvo has been stationed in Washington longer than any other diplomat now here. Twenty-two years ago Senior brought his young wife to the United States. the times, one of the most popular of the British royalties. To this end they have just decided that next year the prince of Wales shall lay the foundation stone of the new buildings for the federal government of Australia in Canberra—a duty that the king himself was expected to undertake. This will form the first great function in the tour by the heir apparent of the whole British empire that is expected to last for the better part of a whole year, and to include special visits to Canada, South Africa, and India. Some diplomatic Americans in London have already seized upon this fact as a basis for powerful negotiations, by which it is hoped that the prince of Wales will be induced to visit, in person, the great exhibition at San Francisco in 1915.

SPORTS CAPTAIN PURDY LARGE WRAPS ALL THE M Praotically No Other De Worn by the Eleg A son of Jack Dunn, the Baltimore manager, is captain of the Baltimore City college football eleven. Princeton declares if a good punter can be found it will have one of the greatest teams on the girdiron. One of the big eastern universities is reported to be considering moving pictures in the development of its team. Guyon is the Jim Thorpe of the Carlisle backfield this year and is said to be putting up a brilliant offensive game. Branch Rickey is no winter leaguer. He is acting as assistant coach of the Washington University eleven in St. Louis. Andy Smith seems to be having better luck at Purdue than he had at Penn. It is a case of the man making the coach? The graduate manager of Georgetown athletics announces that his college has not severed football relations with the navy as was reported. An intersectional football game between the western conference winners and the recognized eastern champion eleven is being agitated in different conference colleges. Barrett, the Cornell, quarterback has the record, up to date, for distance punting. He made a 65-yard boot in the Indian game. After it hit the ground it rolled another 15 yards. Among the first-year men who are expected to make the varsity at the Naval academy next year is Hank Blodgett, the young giant who was the main factor in Commerce's success last season. Eddie Trenkman is evidently going to make good as first-string center at Princeton. Semmons held down the job at the first of the season, but the Adelphi grad's greater weight and ability as a pivot man dislodged him from the job. Max Quertz, Germany's foremost yacht designer, who produced the Meteor, the Germania and other fast yachts, may be commissioned to build a 75-foot cutter if a German yacht club challenges next year for the America's cup. BILLIARDS There is a prospect of the English and American champions meeting in a series of matches at the English style of billiards when Melbourne Inman, the English champion, reaches New York from northwest Canada. Although the eastern members of the National Billiard league declined to compete in the annual three cushion tournament this year, the western members are planning to form an intercity circuit, to include Chicago, Pittsburgh, Kansas City and St Louis. HORSE RACING Tenara has been resting in the blue grass to see if she can go it again. Don Pronto 'is mighty good this year. He won a free-for-all at Sacramento a short time ago in 2:02 1-4 and 2:02 3-4. The best trotters in years on the New England half-mile tracks is Ada Mars, 2.13% by Mars, out of Licona, by Bingen. Jimmy Carpenter, who brought out Anna Kohl, has two good trotters in sight for next year in Peter Scott and Audrey Gray Putting Redlac, Jr., in the 2:10 list and winning a race with him was one of the best achievements of Walter Cox this year. There's hope for England. Report states that cricket is dying out there. Irwin Weinberger, the former crack half-miler of Clark House, is now plugging teeth for a living. Friends of Walter Knox, Canadian professional all-round champion, say he is a better man than Jim Thorpe. Oswald Gibbons of the New York Athletic club is considered the most dangerous rival that Ake Kiviat has as a one-miller. Mel. Sheppard is very far from being all in as a runner. He did the half mile in 1:57 at the Metropolitan championships recently. The Canadian Interprovincial Rugby union, made up of argonauts of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Hamilton, will number the players this season. Washington has made a bid for the Army-Navy football game. They believe that the capital is the logical place for the struggle between the service elevens.

Yale University has an eighteen- hole-golf course within easy access of the campus. It is estimated that nearly $30,000, 000 is spent on golf in England. Of this huge sum $12,500,000 goes to the caddies. Our old friend Andy Carnegie, wants Ouimet to win at Skibo probably just to show some of his conceived neighbors they are not so many. George Duncan, the fastest playing English professional, won the open French golf tournament in Chantilly, France, with an aggregate of 304 strokes for the four rounds of the 18- hole course. Carl Morris is bowling for a return match with Gunboat Smith, who won from the Oklahoma on a foul.

Mrs. Agnes Havenor, owner of the champion Milwaukee team, announces that she will make the training trip with the team next spring. Frank Chance says that the reason he let Derrick out of the big show was that Claude didn't know in one game whether he had been to bat or not. Speaking of player-writers, Connie Mack says that it's a great pity that there are not more Matthewsons and Collins and less Marquards in the variety. A statistician has figured it out that the world's series cost $1,250,000. It's a costly luxury that B. B. Johnson, Mack, McGraw, Lynch, et al., favor retaining. Leslie Bush, the sensational young hurler of the Athletics, was chased off the mound last season by all of the seven clubs. He hurled but five complete games. Hooks Wiltse could have had the job of managing Mobile that fell to Briscoe Lord, but the veteran south-paw took a chance on being able to fool National Leaguers one more year.

LARGE WRAPS ALL THE MODE TRULY A REGAL GARMENT Many Materials May Be Employed in Its Construction, but They Must Be Supple--Smart Hats Are PARIS.— have seen recently one of the sensational modes of the present season, namely, the voluminous out-door wrap, which seems absolutely without form and many times too big for its wearer. These wonderful garments are the rage of Paris now, and they will be the rage of the winter—right on into the spring, writes Idala de Villiers in the Boston Globe. Such mantles may be made of many different materials, supple cloth, charmouse, velvet, embroidered crepe de chine and silk-finished cashmere. The model I say was really regal, so far as material and outline were concerned. It was composed of plain and stamped velvets, and the borders of rich sable added greatly to the general effect. A feature is a curious, unexpected sash, which confines the mantle just below the knee line. This is also one of the newest and most popular ideas. Such a sash, when arranged on an immensely full mantle, gives a peculiar outline to the figure. The shoulders seem very much too heavy for the lower limbs. But this effect is what our great dressmakers Simple Hat In Black and White Velvet and tailors are striving to obtain; this is the latest idea in the world of fashion. Such mantles are made of hand- painted gauze and of fine black lace; they are trimmed with bands of sable, fox, chinchilla, skunk and various other furs. Material Must Be Supple. The choice of material is wide, but one thing is absolutely necessary, that is that the garment should be made of some stuff which is as supple as chiff fon. Upon the pliable qualities of the material the success of the garment depends. Such a model would be simply grotesque if carried in in thick cloth or heavy silk. To look well it must hang in straight, clinging folds, and this is only possible when ultra- supple materials are employed. Charmeuse embroidered in Japanese style is extremely effective for these mantles. The Parisian dressmakers and tailors vie with each other in an effort to obtain original and uncommon designs for these embroideries, and with the addition of bands of fur and daffy linings, the loveliest garments are created. Such a cloak as that will be very popular all through the winter for afternoon wear at the smart restaurants. These loose wraps can be thrown off with the greatest ease and a costume of white or pastel tinted crepe looks delicious when emerging from the generous folds of velvet or embroidered satin. I have mentioned in several recent articles that this is essentially a picturesque age. Women are looking unusually pretty and attractive this winter, and I attribute this fact, largely, to the picturesque dresses and dresses which are so much the fashion. Smart Autumn Hats. I have sketched this week one of the new models for autumn wear. One of these sketches represents a very original and uncommon tricorne. This shape is once more fashionable. In fact, it is going to be one of the most popular shapes of the winter season. The model shown in my sketch was made of black velvet, and it was bordered with white fox. The turned-up brim was so arranged that the curved lines seemed to overlap each other. This hat is one which I can confidently recommend to those in search of an effective model for wearing with autumn walking suits. Another popular design as a simple little hat in black and white velvet, with a quaint white marabou mount jutting out at one side. This mixture of black and white velvet is in great Dark Town. Of 10,000 townships in France having more than 1,000 inhabitants, about 6,000 are without any public lighting. Of the remainder, there are 1,248 lighted by gas, 2,763 lighted by electricity and 172 by acetylene. Where He Was Wrong. "Dobbs says that he is a man who takes his medicine without complaining." "That's true, but he has a mistaken idea as to the medicinal value of alcohol."—Birmingham Age-Herald. favor with the more important of the Parisian milliners. I have already spoken of the extreme popularity of white velvet, both with dressmakers and milliners; now the "chic" thing is a clever mixture of black and white velvet, or black and white silk beaver. The little shape is ideal for early morning wear. It fits close to the head and is almost universally becoming, at least to youthful faces. In white felt, with a black velvet edge, this shape is as useful as it is becoming, and it is also very charming in violet or cherry-red felt, with a border of black velvet or black more. Though the Parisiennes have got quite tired of the small close-fitting shapes which were such a rage last spring, they are still wearing very small hats and toques in the morning; and even in the afternoon with tailored suits. Everything depends upon the manner in which such a hat as this is worn. It must be placed at exactly the right angle of the head and pressed down on the hair without hiding it, as did the "bathing-cap-toques." Camel's Hair Cloth. Camel's hair cloth is one of the favorite materials of the season, and it is specially effective in a rich shade of cherry red. Yesterday afternoon I saw an exquisite walking costume in this material. The skirt was set in flat pleats at either side and there was a sort of tight overdress which was buttoned down on the pleats with large flat buttons made of red enamel and ivory. The coat was fashioned in Russian blouse style and it showed the new long waist line to perfection. There was a deep border of heavy silk embroidery on the coat and below this a shaped band of skunk. The sleeves were long and quite tight and there was a collar of skunk which ended, in front, in two points. These points were buttoned down with the same buttons as those on the skirt. A large "Granny" muff was to be worn with this costume and a turban toque of black mirror velvet which had a very high mount of horse hair. A similar costume, seen at the same dressmaker's studios, was made of the same cloth, but in a rich shade of Egyptian blue. On the underskirt—for a dull appearance—was a broad border of wool and silk embroidery. Various shades of blue and dull appeared in this embroidery and the same design formed large revers and gaudlet cuffs. The coatie was belted in at the waist by a cincture of dark blue leather and on this belt there were many facets of wrought copper. The coat opened over an elaborate blouse of the finest white linen it is possible to imagine. This blouse had pleated frills on either side of the front and a straight, stiff collar which was finished off by a narrow black taffeta tie. Long Waist Line. Nearly all the new coats show the long waist line of which I spoke in a recent article. It was at first thought that this peculiar line would prove very trying to the average figure, but quite the contrary is the case. These boyish-looking coats are almost universally becoming. They give a curiously youthful outline to the feminine figure, for they reduce the apparent size of bust and hips. In fact, in one of these new coats a woman looks rather like a well-made boy. That this peculiar "ligne" will remain popular for some time to come there can be no doubt. It has "caught on," and already it is being exploited by all the leading elegantes of Paris. Very handsome Russian belts, made of embroidered leather, are worn with the new tailored coats which show the long waist line. In some cases these belts are of great value. They are not only embroidered very finely, but they are also inset with facets of copper or brass and finished off with antique buckles. One of these genuine Russian belts gives immense cachet to a simple tailored suit of serge or cloth. Indeed many of these belts are in themselves so beautiful and decorative that they take the place of trimmings or full borders. Not Even Skin Deep Things had altered since Clara and Clarence had been made one. When they were engaged he had been furious if anyone had gazed at her; now he was enraged because nobody did. "Not a soul ever looks at you twice!" he grumbled. "I can't think why I married such a fright!" "Why should anybody look at me when they see you with me?" asked Clara. "Unless they looked in pity! You keep a few yards behind next time we are out and see what happens then!" So Saturday afternoon saw Clara walking proudly down the High street, while Clarence tagged along behind. With mixed feelings he noticed how everyone looked at his wife, some even turning round to stare after her. Eventually pride overredeemed everything else and Clarence hurried to his wife's side. "Darling, I take back all I said. You were right and I was wrong. I—" In his excitement he failed to notice Clara removing a large false nose!

PHAISE FOR SOCIAL WORKER Covite Trader Willing to Admit Young Woman Who Had Helped Him "Aln' Doin' No Harm." The mountaineers of Virginia and Tennessee are notoriously chary of praise. Miss Babbitt, the social worker who came down from the north, established a mission among the "covites," and labored with them, found the people hard to get along with and said so. But there was another side to it. A covite trader came into the little college town near by one day and was questioned by one of the professors. "John," asked the professor, "how long has Miss Babbitt been out in Lost Cove?" "Nigh onto four years," answered John. "The people like her, don't they?" "Some." But she's a mighty good woman, John, urged the professor. "She's out there working to help you and your children. I've heard a lot about the good she's done." "Wa-all," said John reluctantly, "I will say she ain't doin' no harm."—New York Saturday Evening Post. Hickson—My wife is trying to get into society. Dickson—What are you doing?
