Jose Inez Salazar, out of their camp before Tierra Blanca, Mex., and hurried his cavalry after them as they fled in a panic to their trains. More than 10,000 men were engaged in the fight, the rebels numbering 6,000 and the federals 4,000.

DISCUSSES THE 'MONEY TRUST'
Brandies Says Three Banks Control Large Sum.
WRITES ABOUT 'INNER GROUP'
Lawyer, in Magazine Article, Tells How Triple Alliance in New York City Gamed to Dominate
New York City.—"The huge sum of $22,000,000 is not large enough to include all the corporations to which the 'influence' of the three allies (J. P. Morgan & Co. and the National City and First National banks) extends," said Louis D. Brandels in the second of a series of articles on the money trust, which appears in Harper's Weekly under the caption, "How the Combiners Combine."
"Among the allies, two New York banks, the National City and the First National, stand pre-eminent." Brandels says. "They constitute, with the Morgan firm, the inner group of the money trust.
Each of the two banks, like Morgan & Co., has been dominated by a genius in combination.
Poem in 112 Corporations.
"The Pujojo company finds the members of J. P. Morgan & Co. and the directors of their trusted trust companies and the First National and National City bank together hold in all 341 directorships in 112 corporations having aggregate resources and capitalization of $22,245,000,000.
"But this huge sum is not large enough to include all the corporations to which the 'influence' of the three allies extends.
"For instance," says Brandels, "the capitalization of the New Haven system is given as $385,000,000. But the New Haven system comprises many controlled corporations whose capitalization is only to a slight extent included directly or indirectly in the New Haven railroad balance sheet."
Dominate Big Bank Centers.
Brandels goes on to tell how the triple alliance came to dominate the other big banking centers.
Tracing the control of these big financial centers down through the smaller groups, Brandels enumerates the resultant evils as follows:
"First, these banker barons levy a heavy toll upon the whole community, upon owners of money for leave to invest it, upon railroads, upon public service companies, and through these corporations upon consumers.
"Second, is the effect of the money trust in directly suppressing competition.
"Third, far more serious is the suppression of industrial liberty, indeed, of manhood itself, which this overweening financial power entails.
"Nearly every enterprise business man needs bank credit. The granting of credit involves the exercise of judgment of the bank officials. Existence shows that their judgment is warped by the all-pervading power of the money trust."
CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST OFFICERS OF MILL ARE DISMISSED.
Wellsboro, Pa.—Judge David Cameron dismissed the indictment of man slaughter against George C. Bayless, and Fred N. Hamlin, officers of the Bayless Pulp & Paper Co., Austin, Pa. The indictment was found as a result of the bursting of the Bayless dam at Austin in September, 1911, when 80 lives were lost and the villages of Austin and Costello were devastated by the flood. Claims totaling $500,000 were filed against the company, but the civil suits brought to collect this amount were recently dropped on the payment of $150,000.
PRESIDENT FINLEY OF SOUTHERN SYSTEM BEGAN CAREER AS STENOGRAPHER.
Washington, D. C.—W. W. Finley, president of the Southern Railway system, died at his home in this city. He was stricken with apoplexy and hemorrhage of the brain at breakfast and died before medical aid arrived.
Mr. Finley had been apparently in good health and the fatal stroke came without warning. He was born in 1853 at Pass Christian, Miss, and became president of the Southern railway system in 1996, following the death of Samuel B. Spencer. He began railroading as a stenographer.
Many Hurt by Blast:
Pittsburgh, Pa.—A score or more persons were injured, many windows were broken and a number of buildings shaken by an explosion of gas in a nine-foot sewer in the Lawrenceville district late Tuesday afternoon. None of the injured will die, but the property loss will amount to thousands of dollars. A party of five men working at a manhole in 38th-st were tossed into the air. Alexander Campbell was buried in the hole the explosion tore in the hillside.
—
The Russian emperor has consented to the divorce of Princess Marie, formerly Grand Duchess Marie Pavlina and his cousin, and Prince William, second son of the king of Sweden. She is accused of complicity in the espionage scandal which resulted in the Russian military attache at Stockholm being ordered to leave country.
Incendiary Blaze Destroys
Lumber Yards, Causing
$250,000 Loss.
Oxford, England—An incendary fire, attributed by the police to the arson squad of the militant suffrages, did enormous damage here for a time, sweeping an extensive area of timber yards and threatening for a time to destroy the plant supplying the city with artificial gas. The loss is estimated at $250,000. The conflagration, which was the biggest and most disastrous in recent years here, began at six different places, accompanied by terrific explosions. Women were seen in the vicinity just before the flames were discovered and suffrage literature was found in the vicinity.
Before the firemen reached the scene great piles of lumber were in a blaze. The flames had reached within less than 50 feet of the artificial gas works when a sudden shift in the wind turned the course of the fire.
All of the fire fighting force of the city, aided by volunteers, united to prevent the flames from spreading through the city.
The members of the arson squad, not satisfied with the damage wrought by the fire, broke into the offices of the non-militant organization and hurled all the furniture into the street.

PRAISES WIFE TEACHERS
PROFESSOR SAYS MATRONS MAKE
BEST POSSIBLE INSTRUCTORS
FOR THE YOUNG.
Kansas City, Kan.—Matrons make the best possible teachers for the young, according to Prof. Earl Barnes, who lectured before the Missouri university extension center here.
"The present day educational system puts a premium on the greatest sin in the world, colibacy," said Prof. Barnes.
"Particularly is it wrong to insist that only unmarried women be allowed to teach in public schools. What better teachers could be found for children than the culture married woman coming from a congenial home into the school room?"
BIG JUMP IN FOOD PRICES
AVERAGE INCREASE SINCE 1899 IS 78 PER CENT ON FIFTEEN STAPLE ARTICLES.
Washington, D. C.—The most illuminating detailed statistics ever presented on the high cost of living are contained in a report just completed by bureau of labor statistics.
It demonstrates that the reputed increase in cost of staples is no idle dream. Every head of a family knows this increase has taken place, but the figures presented on Friday show, in 150 pages of comparative tables, that the average increase since 1899 is 78 per cent in the 15 most staple articles.
Commerce Commissioner Dies.
Washington, D. C.—John Hobart Marble, interstate commerce commissioner, died suddenly at his home here of jauciace poisoning. Mr. Marble was stricken during the anthracite coal investigation in Philadelphia and brought to this city in a serious condition. Mr. Marble was attorney for the commission for several years and was given leave of absence to serve as special attorney for the senate committee in the second investigation into the election of William Lorimer to the senate.
DEPICTS RAVAGES OF 'BLACK PLAGUE'
Minister Discusses Sex Hygiene Before Gathering.
Declares "We Are Going to Put Law on Statute Books That Will Make It Impossible for Boys to Damage Girls' Lives."
New York City—Eugenic marriages and sex hygiene were discussed in a lecture by the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis on "The Great Black Plague" before a large gathering, including many clergymen and physicians, in the West Side branch of the Y. M. C. A.
Aristocracy of Fine Health.
"We are going to put a law on the statute books that will make it impossible for boys to damage the lives of girls," said Dr. Hillis. "There is going to be an aristocracy of fine health, and the only boy that can marry will be the one whose blood is clean and pure. Out of the cross of that man and woman you are going to have the tallest, finest, handsome boy that ever walked or the most beautiful girl with roses in her cheeks."
Dr. Hillis referred to the unsuccessful effort to get such a law through the last legislature, remarking that the men who defeated it feared to pass such a law "lest it put its severe pressure down upon their lives." He said that the failure to enact such a law stamped the people of the community as "a lot of savage Hottenots."
Before Dr. Hillis spoke, a three-reel motion picture play was presented, depicting the terrible ravages of the "black plague" and the misery that follows in its wake among the innocent as well as the person afflicted. Dr. Hillis commented favorably upon the play called "The Victim of Sin," given by the playwright later at some Broadway theater. He also commended the play.
Urges Eugenic Marriage.
"This country," said Dr. Hillis, "is approaching a crisis in the physical degeneration of the population that has been caused by England, where the standard of admission in the army had declined from six feet in 1812 to five feet during the Boer war." The eugenic marriage, in his judgment, was the only salvation from similar conditions here. In this city he instanced the cases of 15,000 children who were examined with the result that only 11 per cent "were born of parents that had enough vitality left to build a good tooth." The decline of the Mexican people was attributed to disease. Dr. Hillis declaring that 16,000 out of 20,000 Mexicans who had come to San Antonio were afflicted. Five out of the 7,000,000 Mexican Indians were in the same plight, he asserted.
WILL ASSAIL THE COURTS
PROBERS OF MINE TROUBLE TO STRIKE AT WEST VIRGINIA JUDICIARY.
Washington, D. C.—The rights of citizens under the constitution of the West Virginia authorities at the time of the labor troubles in the Paint and Cabin Creek mining districts of that state will be reported by the senate committee which investigated conditions there. The report, it is expected, will be made before Christmas, as the testimony is all in and heads of the subdivisions are preparing their reports for the committee.
The committee will find that citizens of the United States were arrested, tried and convicted contrary to and in violation of the constitution and the laws of the United States. The federal rights of citizens, the report will say, were interfered with and men were deprived of their liberty by the state of West Virginia without due process of law. The committee will deal in plain terms with this subject. Testimony will be cited to show that the state and state courts did not do their full duty before resorting to martial law, and that Gov. Glasscock overstepped his authority.
Campaign Statement.
New York City.—Exactly $129,
519.41 was spent for the John Purro Mitchel mayoralty campaign as against
$262,000 for Edward E. McCall, the Tammany candidate.
Charles L. Bernheimer, treasurer of the Citizens' municipal campaign committee, has forwarded to Albany the complete statement of campaign receipts and expenditures. The total contributions were $131,787; surplus,
$2,267.59.
There were 1,280 subscribers.
Col. Goethal's Report
Washington, D. C.—No definite data for the official opening of the Panama canal is set in the annual report of Col. George Goethals, chairman and chief engineer of the canal commission, just been submitted to Secretary of War Garrison. Neither is there any prediction of when ships may first pass from ocean to ocean. The first day of the canal's actual operation still depends upon the treacherous slides of Culebra cut and how fast the dredges can keep the channels open.
JOHN K. TENER
John K. Tener, governor of Pennsylvania and a former baseball player, has been chosen president of the National Baseball league.
FOOD 'TRUST' PROBE
First Step in Sweeping Investigation Is Taken by Attorney General.
Washington, D. C.—The first step in the administration's attack on the "food trust" was taken Monday when Attorney General McReynolds issued orders for a countrywide investigation of the cold storage combine, which is believed to be responsible for the present high price of eggs. In addition, several bills are before congress and early action regulating the cold storage combine is exigent. The investigation ordered by Attorney General McReynolds will extend into every judicial district where there are federal officials. They are to get complete figures and all the other evidence obtainable bearing on the charge that cold storage men are withholding eggs and other food products from the market in an effort to raise prices.
The investigators will report on the number of eggs in storage, the price at which they went in storage, the length of time stored and the price at which they were sold when taken out. They will ascertain also approximately the number of eggs produced in their respective districts.
"I want to know the inside of this thing," said the attorney general. He is already in possession of information showing some attempts on the part of the cold storage houses to corner the eggs and vegetable supply in their communities.
J. K. M'GUIRE IS INDICTED
MAN IS CHARGED WITH SOLICITING CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION FROM CORPORATION.
New York City.-James K. McGuire, former mayor of Syracuse, N.Y., and partner with his brother, George H. McGuire, in the business of bonding state highway contractors, was indicted on the charge of soliciting a campaign contribution from a corporation.
The indictment was based on testimony by his brother and by Fillmore Condit, New York, agent of the Union Oil Co. of California, that he had sought to obtain from the oil company a contribution of $5,000 in return for paving the way for the company to sell asphalt to the state of New York. According to the testimony, the McGuires were to get a commission of 1 cent a gallon on all asphalt the state or state road contractors bought from the Union concern.
McGuire's indictment preceded testimony at the John Doe inquiry by which District Attorney Whitman sought to show that an effort had been made to bring influence to bear on Condit not to implicate the Democratic party in the alleged holdup.
SUES PRIEST FOR $50,000
MAN CHARGES AGED FATHER ALIENATED HIS WIFE'S AFFECTIONS.
Denver, Col.—Violent love making is charged against Dominic Pantanella, 83, a Catholic priest of the Sacred Heart college, by Robert S. Lowry.
Lowry has just filed suit in the district court for $50,000 damages for the alleged alienation of the affections of Mrs. Sarah N. Lowry, his wife.
Lowry asks that the court commit the priest to jail should the latter refuse to pay the judgment, if awarded.
Airmen Fall to Death
San Diego, Cal.-Lieuts. Eric L. Ellington and Hugh M. Kelley of the aviation corps of the United States army were killed by a fall from an aeroplane over North Island.
The men were flying high when their machine suddenly plunged to the earth. The men were maneuvering 80 feet above the earth when something went wrong with the machine, which turned turtle.
Lieut. Kelley was a Kentuckian, while Lieut. Ellington was from North Carolina.

STING OF SCORPION
Peons of Mexico Suffer the Most From Deadly Pest.
Four Thousand Deaths Yearly Are Caused by the Venomous Animal—Convulsions Precede Victim's Final Collapse.
Whatever the limitations placed upon life expectancy in Mexico in these restless days the Mexican scorpion still holds the record as official executioner of the republic. Four thousand persons are reported to die each year in Mexico from the stings of scorpions.
There are several varieties of scorpions in Mexico, some of them exceedingly venomous and others little feared. In the neighborhood of Teplic the virulent centuris gracilis abounds, but it is little known about the more northern state of Sonora. It is one of the most venomous creatures in the world.
In the small city of Durango scorpions are perhaps more plentiful and more dangerous than anywhere else in the republic. Here the climate is humid and torrid—it is in the "tierra callante"—and it is estimated that more than 150,000 scorpions are killed each year, with no appreciable effect on their numbers.
A scorpion resembles a diminutive lobster. Some specimens are eight inches long, though the average length is from two to four inches. The claws closely resemble a lobster's; with them the scorpion crushes its prey after disabling it by means of a sting.
The body of a scorpion consists of several segmented joints, the last five or more narrowing down to form the tail, which curls up forward over the body and terminates in the sting. This businesslike appendage is a horny, sharp spine containing two little openings, which connect with the venom gland within the cell of the last segment. In striking, the scorpion gives the tail a rapid lashing motion forward in advance of the body and literally administers a hypodermic injection of poison, or rather several injections, for it usually stings repeatedly when it does strike.
In color scorpions vary according to environment. One ordinarily colorless or translucent will assume a brown or blackish shade in dark surroundings. Scorpions live in the cracks of the sun-baked clay, under stones, in the chinks of the adobe huts and in the cracks in the plaster of old frame houses. They prey upon spiders and other night marauding insects. A spider stung by a scorpion may be observed undergoing convulsions just before death as animals or human beings do.
Unless sleeping cots are well screened and the supports immersed in cans of kerosene or carbolic acid—water evaporates too rapidly—the prowling scorpion may find its way beneath the bed covers and sting the restless child. By nature it is a no-turnal pest. In Mexico every one takes a peep in the toe of his shoe before dressing in the morning to assure himself that no undesirable citizen is hiding there.
Contrary to common belief scorpions never commit suicide by stinging themselves to death—at least not in Mexico. In fact they seem immune to their own venom. Two well-matched specimens will battle to death if confined in a jar, stinging each other repeatedly, yet the victor does not die. He tears his antagonist into small pieces with his claws and voraciously devours every trace of the vanquished foe. And the cannibal thrives on the diet.
Some scorpion bites cause little more than burning pain and numbness in the part affected for a few days. But the more poisonous varieties cause death, and that speedily, especially when they sting young children or debilitated old people. The lower classes of people suffer more than the well to do because of their custom of going about half naked most of the time.
In serious cases the local numbness and pain or burning extend over the body in a few hours. Then follows a feeling as of a ball in the throat, the victim clutching his throat as though choking on a foreign body. Prompt treatment at this stage will usually save life.
If not treated the mouth soon begins to froth and the eyes become reddened and hypersensitive to light. Within an hour or two the breathing grows shorter and more difficult, the body turns blue, the pulse fails and convulsions set in. The convulsions recur frequently during several hours, but complete relaxation usually usheres in the end.
Fortunately unconsciousness develops early, so that the victim does not suffer the tortures of one dying from lockjaw. The average time required for a scorpion sting to cause death is twelve or fourteen hours. This is calculated to make some American rattlesnakes ashamed of themselves.

‘The anxfous quedtion in every bread.
winner's heart is: How soon will the
‘Wilson tariff abolish the high cost of
living as he promised?
Did President Wilson really believe
that a Democratic tariff reducing bill

RAC E&PRIDE AND CONSCIOUSNESS.
The Jews are class-conscious, and
the Negro needs to cultivate class-
‘consciousness also. A short time ago
42 Jewish organizations decided to or-
‘ganize a censorship of theaters of all
‘grades and to disfavor, denounce and
punish caricatures of Jewish traits
upon the stage. And this was not an
idle threat, Jewish theatrical man-
agers. refused to stage such plays,
Jewish theater-goers refused to pat-
ronize them and Jewish influence and
money, in a hundred’ different direc-

A TIMELY WARNING!
Again we warn our people of this
community, particularly our City Fed-
eration of Women’s clubs and the
Ministers’ Union, that a studied at
tempt upon the part of local officials
is,being made to formulate plans for
the segregation of our dependent and
ineorrigible children. Coming down-
town one day last week on a street
ear, a local official began such @ 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 Afro-
‘American children in. public institu:
tions 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
life, she is almost a proselyte, of a
“gmooth” 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
“dn a minute” about the northern Af.
ro-American than the — prejudiced
southerner would learn in a month,
or would acknowledge in a life-time
even if he ot she did learn it, The
local official to whom we refer is of
German descent—an, excellent, wom-
an, She would hardly consent to the
segregation of the dependent and in-
corrigible.Gérman children of this
community, and yet, there is no ma-
terial differences between them and
our children of the same kind or
grade, and the same “arguments” in
tavor of the segregation of both not
only can, but must be made—if at
all, Beware of the prejudiced south-
»rner in the north, the “jim-crow” Ne-
gro, and the credulous northerner.
This. latter, is not always, necessarily,
prejudiced. Let our Ministers’ Union
and City Federation of Women's
slubs heed this warning and take act-
ve interest in this matter in time,

Dr. Williams bas gained great ré

ations he has performed, his greatest,
however, being the successful opera
tion on ‘the heart—the first surgeon
in the world to do so. He has a large
practice here and is often called to
distant parts of the country to per.
form diteutt operations. | His prac
tice has brought him a fortune which
is belleved to be very large. Our peo:

are justly proud of Dr, Williams be-
cause of his exceptional ability as a
‘surgeon and because of his great suc-

GOWNS MADE AT HOME.
Washington, D. C.—Miss Wilson's
trousseau is far from being an im-
ported affair. Many of the gowns
were made“bere by Mrs. Ella Coombs,

skill has won for ther the patronage
of many society leaders.
nie B. Mosby of th's city, an excellent
writer, thinker and reasoner, ans
Wered him in the following style:
According to Bishop Gailor the
moral progress of the Colored race has
not been proportionate to his progress
in books and ability to acquire prop-
erty. We wish to ask the bishop if
he thinks the example of morality
which the whites set for our emula-
tion is the equal of the ability which
the white man displays for the acquir-
ing of property. The immorality of
the whites is no excuse for immoral-
ity among Negroes but such criticism
from the whites is oor policy, to.say
the lenst. Would the bishop imply
that the greater death rate among the
Colored race is due to immorality?
if so, the gentleman ehould be better
informed before addressing a thinking
people. In nearly every city of any
size in this country the Atro-Ameri-
can is forced to live in undesirable,
unhealthy localities and in houses that
are not sanitary; he is proscribed
against in many public parks, reeres-
tion grounds, bathing beaches, swim.
ming schools, ete: he is underpaid
for his labor, overcharged for his pur-
chases, rents, ete, ts there any. won-
der that thelr death rate exceeds the
white death rate? A careful search
of tho facta will make It clear to the
average mind that, the white brother
can trace some of the causes for the
large death rate among Afro-Ameri-
ans to tho unchristian spirit so large-
ly developed in the white people of
this country. Does it not seem that
the whites are sadly in need of Chris-
tian religion? Of this point Iam sure,
one cannot teach Christianity suc
cessfully when he possesse: it not?”

some other Satanic attraction?
All have experienced this disagree-
able feeling. Indeed, so often does
this happen that we ‘are, schooled to

papers and are disappointed When we
do not receive it, And the page with-
out its “Murder” and “Divorce Sean:
dal” 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 claes
seem to gloat over.
The sins of the big dailies may. be
said to partake of both offices, the
“commission” and “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
of the Race.
‘Then it is to the Negro newspaper
we must look for that fountain of in:
spiration which soothes and sustains;
which buoys up our thongiits and
guides along tho ways of hope. If
we want race news we must read
race papers. If we want better pa-
pers, We must give better support in
the way of paid subscriptions, for all
papers live or die according to a
strong or weak constituency. ‘That

A study of the election returns shows conclusively that even had the liquor licenses been issued before election, still Mayor Baker would have defeated Harry L. Davis, Baker's plurality over Davis was between five and six thousand, and not 3,222, his majority over both Davis and Robb.

The several daily scenarios given the New Ogden Theater last week, by the Philllegans band started the neighborhood and again called the attention of our people of that vicinity to the fact that a woman of the race, in the person of Miss Helen Ogden, was giving them the very best vaudeville attractions and motion-pictures to be seen anywhere in the city. They packed the Ogden as a result and went away, at the close of the theater each evening, thoroughly pleased and enthusiastic. Bring your friends to the New Ogden where order is preserved, as well as the very best "show" given, every evening. Show race-pride by doing so, too.—Adv.

Golderene, the New Discovery, Said to Grow, straighten and Beautify the Hair in a Short Time.
The Golderene Manufacturing Company of Plainfield, N.J., is said to have recently discovered the greatest hair grower known to medical science. The new discovery is called Golderene and he especially wants to Growd people's scals. Golderene will grow and beautify the hair and straighten instantly the most stubborn and kinkiest kind of hair. For both men and woman who possess a healthy head of good hair, Golderene is said to be and he especially wants to Growd people's scals. Golderene will grow and beautify the hair and straighten instantly the most stubborn and kinkiest kind of hair. For both men and woman who possess a healthy head of good hair, Golderene is said to be and he especially wants to Growd people's scals. Golderene will grow and beautify the hair fairly glisten—after the first application.
Golderene contains the one ingredient known to medical science as a perfect hair grower and straightener. Golderene is highly recommended to stimulate the growth of the hair even in cases of complete baldness. Golderene is not recommended to see if it will not make the pigment-forming cells active enough to completely restore the natural color. Golderene is not sold at drug stores, but is sent direct to you by mail upon receipt of price, fifty cents, by the manufacturer, manufacturing Plainfield, N. J.-Adv. 21.
THEY DENOUNCE SEGREGATION.
Congregationalists and Unitarians Hit the Miserable Wilson Democratic Policy—Adopt Resolutions.
Waterbury, Conn. — Condemnation of segregation of white and Colored employees in Government departments in Washington, D.C., as a "violation of the shut marriage of equality," as voiced by the 17th annual meeting of Congregationalists. The resolution adopted, last week Thursday, and forwarded to President Wilson follows:
"The Congregationalists of Connecticut, in general conference assembled, enter their emphatic protest against the segregation of Colored employees in the Government departments.
"I believe it to be a violation of the just principle of equality, written into American faith by our fathers, and an injustice to the established methods in civil service appointments.
"We respectfully petition the President and the Congress of the United States to prohibit all such degrading discrimination in the public service."
New York City—Prompt and effective redress by the president and others in authority at Washington was demanded by the Unitarian Conference of the Middle States and Canada, Nov. 11, in a resolution setting forth that Afro-American employees in the federal departments are "being segregated into groups or classes by themselves on the ground that some citizens in the same service object to associating or should not be required to assume such a reservation which was sent to the president and the secretary of the treasury, declares "such action by the government or by an officer thereof is an open violation of the principles of equality upon which the government stands that is unprecedented and is incapable of justification by an administration professing the devotion to democratic principles."
OUGHT TO BE ELIMINATED
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 Green member of the Board of Education, a fine woman and a staunch friend of the race, 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; 1912.
My dear Mr. Smith, I endose you a letter from Mr. Rever to the matter of which you wrote me some time ago. I found this letter in my mail upon my return home. I trust the explanation my be entirely satisfactory.
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Educational Department.
J. M. Frederick
Superintendent of Schools
Mrs. Virginia D. Green
Member of Board of Education,
Missouri
Deer Mr. 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 underate soldier. Governor of the state. He joined the United States Senate. It is an article descriptive of life in the south before the Civil War. General Gordon writes most pleasantly of the relations of the white people with their slaves, telling of the love and companionship existing between the black men and the white men, and also the white and black girls.
In describing the festivities in which the Colored people took part he says on page 107 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 says: "The excited darkies felt at liberty to creep into the white folk's house at earliest daunt and demean 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 reads the article with an open mind can think that he intended to cast 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.
Dear Madam:—Your letter of May 30th, with enclosure arrived promptly, but was mislaid. In cleaning my desk, today, I came across it, and find that F. C. Bever, the secretary to the superscript of schools, was either failed to get the correct idea, or purposefully "side-stepping" 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; "dutch" to the German, "lowdutch" to the Holocaust; "John 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 fail to understand the reason for this without further explanation on my part. And I write this after having re-read the last half of the last paragraph of F. C. Beyer's letter. What Gen Gordon "intended" is not pertinent. Permit me, Mr. Green, to assure you that the reason for explanation, as you can readily see, is anything but "entirely satisfactory". And I sh-
cerely hope that you will take up the 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 better treatment. To this, I feel sure you will agree.
Very truly yours.
Harry C. Smith.
'NOTHER JACK JOHNSON LIE!
Washington, D. C.—American newspapers recently published a "fake" Paris, France, dispatch, or rather "cable," announcing that "At a meeting of the International Boxing Union here tonight (Nov. 10), the world's heavyweight championship was declared vacant on the grounds of Jack Johnson's conviction in the American courts and his repeated refusal to fight. Delegates from the United States, Belgium, Switzerland and France were present, and the action taken also had the approval of the English section of the union." This is ridiculously untrue—a lie not even possible, and shows to what depth the newspaper writer, crazy for a "sensation" of any kind, will stoop to attain the dirty end desired. O. if only Jack could "swat" them as he did "Windbag" Jeffries!
Clevelanders at Howard.
Washington, D. C.—There are four Clevelanders at Howard University: Miss Olive Wells, Mr. John Rickens; seniors; Miss Hazel E. Weaver, a freshman, and Miss Belle Harris, a sophomore. The first two are in the University choir. Miss Wells doing unaccompanied music at the music. Sunday afternoon, the choir calls "S. Coleridge-Taylor" musicale in which she and Miss Thomas, her room-mate, sang the leading part in the first piece. More anon.
Easier to Be Good or Bad?
Is it easier to be good than to be bad? It has occurred to an eminent minister to assert that it is. And he is quite right. Indeed, it is strange that the world has not found it out, and become sinless.
Much—everything—conspires in favor of being good. The first thirst for applause, the desire to strut with inflated chest, the memory of virtue's rewards previously enjoyed—all these drag the helpless victim into the meshes of goodness. The wonder is that sin does not become extinct, like those functions of the body which were used before simians stopped climbing trees and became men.
Really, isn't it a wonder that after innumerable years of experience with the inevitable penalties of badness and with the highly desirable rewards of goodness people will go on misbehaving themselves? Plough or pagan, the facts are obvious to all, and a well-developed business sense ought to be enough to make everybody virtuous.
For virtue fits in with the way the world is built. The pagan would say that virtue is virtue because it does fit, and that vice is vice because it doesn't. The pious would say that virtue fits because it is virtue, and that vice does not fit because it is vice. But pious or pagan, we all admit that virtue fits and that vice does not; and then we all alike try to make vice fit when we know it won't.
This is the great business era of the world's history. We are as slow today as ever to learn the greatest business principle ever known to the world—that virtue is easier to practice than vice, and that virtue is all profit and vice all loss.—Syracuse Journal.
Burglar-Proof Glass in Paris.
Great strides have been made in France these last few months in the use of burglar-proof glass. Its discovery was due to its tremendous need, for Paris, of all cities in the world, seemed to be most at the mercy of that particular form of highwayman who frequents the boulevards at night, breaks the windows of jewelry stores and makes away promptly with the valuables.
It is claimed that this burglar-proof glass is made by a secret process, though, of course, it is admitted that its thickness is one of its first essentials. It is from one-half to an inch thick and is able to resist a hard blow, aimed by a strong man, from a 15-pound iron handle. Ordinary glass would have been shattered by a blow less than one-tenth as heavy.
Much is expected from this invention in the near future.
Boundary Strictly Observed.
One feature in which the Russian frontier differs from others is the complete ignorance of those living near the border of what lies beyond. A correspondent of the Autocar says that he called at the Automobile club in Breslau, hoping to gain some information. "The members received me kindly and did all they could to help, but explained that they never crossed the 'frontier and had no first-hand knowledge. The German custom officers, living for ten years within yards of Russia, spoke no word of Russian, and the Russians beyond the chain spoke no German. There is a neutral strip some three or four yards wide between Russia and Germany, along which many Russian sentries are posted, and mounted Cossacks pass at short intervals riding the boundary."
Settled Knotty Law Point.
Settled Knotty Law Point.
Law Notes reports a case before a justice of the peace in Oklahoma City in which opposing counsel were engaged in a spirited argument as to whether a certain objection to the introduction of testimony should be sustained by the justice. The justice tried to induce the attorneys to come to an agreement on the question, and one of them replied that it was impossible and insisted that the court rule on the objection. The question was then repeated to the witness, and the justice, after pondering the matter for some time, turned to the objecting attorney and said, "To save further argument I will let the witness answer the question, but I will not consider his answer."
Making "red pepper" out of sawdust and red ink is going just a trifle too far. By the way, how is tabasco sauce made?
The ordinary birdman who can't do flip-flops in the air is not much of a drawing card nowadays.

‘Younha Olek,
PARIS.—I noticed recently one of the
most practical and charming winter
coats I have ever seen. ‘The material
of the original model was duvetyn in
a splendid shade of cherry-red, and
the design was one of the new styles
which show the curious long waist and
straight sido seams, writes Idzlia de
Villiers in the Boston Globe.
‘The coat was belted in at the waist,
or rather far below it, by a ceinture
of duvetyn, carefully machine stitched.
‘This celnture was held in place at the
sides by straps attached to. the coat
and the buttons were very large and
in cut jet. The lining of this coat was
a special feature. It was composed of
Chineso blue satin, brocaded with a
silver-gray design of scrolls and leaves
The harmony of color was exquisite
and the coat was to be worn over a
smart skirt, arranged in a double tunfe,
of heavy black satin.
‘This new material, “duvotyn,” ts de-
lightfully soft and supple. It is so very
Uke the popular material known as
velours de laine that it is often mis.
taken for it, but duvetyn is softer than
|velours de zine. It is also far warm
er and more supple.
| It is made in all the newest shades;
in emerald green and Chinese blue it
makes superb coats and wraps, and in
pure white it gives fairy-like effects
when combined with white fox or with
|ermine.
| Many of the newest Redfern models
are made of velours de laine in strong
shades of red, blue and purple. ‘These
suits are Javishly trimmed with braid-
ings and with bands of fox, astrachan
or sable, Redfern is making a good
many long-waisted coats, but he do-
pends now, as always, more upon his
perfect cut and finish than upon sensa-
tionally novel outlines.
Handsome Tailored Suits.
T have seen some delightful tailored
suits in a heavy make of satin in Red-
fern’s showrooms. One of these in a
pale shade of belge whipcord, was
trimmed with Siberian fox of a most
curious tint, It was neither beige nor
yellow, but something between the
two, and it blended beautifully with
the tone of the whipcord. ‘This Siber-
fan fox Is very fashionable in Paris
this season,
In quality the fur is rarely beautiful,
quite as soft and silky as the famous
blue and silver foxskins, ‘The Paris:
fennes have taken a special fancy to
tho curious yellow-beige color of the
fur, and it 18 likely to become « rage
{n circles where expense has not to be
considered. For Siberian fox in a
‘good quality is almost as expensive as
the fine white skins,
I spent some time in Rouff's show-
rooms one afternoon, And I was
shown several beautiful winter walk-
ing costumes which I will describe.
One of these was composed of black
satin, black breitschwanz and sable,
The coatee, which was quite short
and rounded in the fronts, was made
of a lovely quality of breitschwanz,
supple and silky as mirror velvet.
‘Then the draped skirt, which was
slightly shorter in front than at the
back, was made of a heavy black
satin, while the tunic, composed of
black crepe de chine, was bordered
with eable,
Really Smart Waistcoat.
‘There was a very smart little waist-
coat of tango-red suede embroidered in
dull silver and a small collar of sable
at tho Dack of the coat. Large dull
silver buttons, richly chased, finished
off an ideal winter visiting costume, A
second suit, of the same order, was
made of pale twine-color velvet em-
broidered in black silk and trimmed
with narrow bands of black fox,
The coat belonging to this dress was
three-quarter length and banded in
Just below the normal waist line by a
splendid Russian belt made of black
leather and inset with facets of silver
and with deep blue turquoises, ‘This
coat opened over a blouse of twine-col-
ored Venetian guipure, and this
blouse opened, in turn, over a dainty
chemisette made of ivory white tulle.
‘This costume was to be accompanied
by a flat-brimmed hat in black sili
beaver which had at one side two
pointed wings, one in a brilliant shade
of emerald green and the other pure
white,
Insthe same showrooms 1. saw sev-
eral fascinating little visiting dresses
destined to be worn under the large
wrap-mantles which are now so popu-
lar. One of these gowns was made of
drocaded moire ina dum shade of
Chinese blue.
Pronounced Flounces,
‘There was an underdress of black
tulle covered with black Chantilly lace
flounces and the moire part of the
skirt was arranged in a sort of draped
apron in front, while at the back the
flounces ran right up to the waist.
‘There was a short moire coatee
with a full shaped basque, and thi
coatee was bordered with black fox a
the neck and on the sleeves. Th

was a fascinating little collar of old

was passed.
‘This is an excellent example of the
stylé of dress which the Paristennes
wear in the afternoon this winter. The
newest wrap coats are so large and
warm that it would be quite possible
to venture out in an eveninz costume
on the coldest day.
On entering a fashionable restaurant
the Tur or velvet wraps are thrown
back over the chair and the dainty
gown underneath is revealed. It is a
charming fashion and it becomes more
and more popular, for women of all
nationalities have discovered that it 18
almost universally becoming and not
at all unduly extravagant. The pret-
tlest and daintiest effects may be ob-
tained from little afternoon gowns of
crepe de chine or supple satin, and
the mantles may be made of liberty
cloth or heavy satin, lined with shot
silk and interlined with flannel.
Season of Decoration.
It Is a wonderfully decorafve sea-
son, and all women who like to look
dainty and attractive ought to avail
themselves of an excellent opportunity
of looking attractive at moderate cost.
Parisan girls wear caps of this kind
with infinite grace. They place them
well down on the forehead, but a few
stray curls are allowed to peep out
under the soft velvet frills. For walk-
ing or skating on cold winter days
these caps are ideal wear. They are
a3 warm and comfortable as they are,
becoming.
‘Tho ilustratfon shows a genuine
winter novelty. It is almost an exact
copy of the bonnets worn by “Little
Nell,” who has been made famous
by the genius of Diekens. This deli-
cious little bonnet is made of glaco
velvet, which shows delicate tints of
pale pink and deep rose-Dubarry.

“Glace” velvet gives the sme shim-

and pretty girl could wear such a bon-
net as this, but on her head it would
make a veritable sensation,

the dest models are intended for quite
young girls.
‘This 1s easily understood, since such
a bonnet as that depicted in my sketch
would certainly make a middle-aged
woman look lke her own grand-
mother.
Ail the strong shades of pink, as well
as most of the pastel tints, are in
fayor with the Parisian milliners, The
bonnets and hats of the immediate
moment are so lavishly trimmed with
bands of fur and with elaborate
‘mounts that pale tinted velvets give
the best effects. I have seen ideal
toques made of pure white mirror vel-
vet and bordered with skunk or sable.

The majority of skirts will be sald,
in fact, very short. Costumes for
@ressy ‘occasions will have skirts as
short as those for tailored suits, and
such a thing as a street dress with a
skirt that touches the ground will be
ridiculous.
All skirts will be narrow, or at least
narrow in effect, and most of them
will have the uplifted drapery at the
front.
Draperies will follow the outlines of
the body and skirts, and whether
pleated or plain will keep to close
limes. ‘There will be many flounced
skirts, but even these will be mount-
‘ed on snug foundations. Trains, when
used, will be very slender, some of
them even scarflike.
