THE UNION THERE IS STRONGER
JAMES.A. FARRELL
JAMES: A. PATRICK
James A. Farrell is head of the committee of thirty business men who will study foreign markets and trade and advise American merchants as to the best market for their output. The appointment of this committee was the outcome of the recent national foreign trade convention held in Washington. Mr. Farrell is president of the United States Steel corporation.
ACCUSED OF CRIME KILLS SELF IN CELL
MAN WHO HAS BEEN-ON TRIAL FOR MURDER OF INSPECTOR SLASHES HIS THROAT.
Mother, Who Lives in Ohio, Had Voluntarily Offered to Bare Tragedy of Her Own Life to Court To Save Son.
Boston, Mass.—Laurence Robinson of Washington C. H. O., who has been on trial for the murder of Police Inspector Norton, committed suicide in his cell. By slashing his throat and wrist with the shank of a shoe until he bled to death, Robinson spared his mother the ordeal of appearing at his trial to take the blame for the murder he committed.
His mother was to have been his only witness. She was to have bared her life for her boy. She had planned to tell the court that an inborn disregard for the sanctity of human life, due to prenatal influence, made her son, known to police as "Diamond Chip," a murderer.
"It's his only chance," she said. "He is not to blame. Murder was born within him."
Robinson's mother was of high family in this community before her marriage. She met and loved a young man of this city and had promised to be his bride.
Suddenly the lover disappeared. A few months later Laurence was born: "Murder was but natural for him," the mother had said. "For days before his birth, shunned by my friends, I brooded murder in my little room. I even bought a large revolver. I fondled it and kept it close, ever with the desire burning within me to kill the man who betrayed me and allowed Laurence to come into the world without a name."
Two notes were found in Robinson's cell.
To his mother and to his wife he wrote:
"The loving sweetheart of my boyhood days and the only women I have ever loved, who stuck to me through all the shame into which I plunged her, I bid her a last fond goodby, and if there is a God Almighty and another world I pray that I may meet you there."
Another letter to the public read:
"You're up against a hard game when you've got to die to beat it; it seems to be the easiest solution of the whole difficulty; I wouldn't want to go to the chair for the satisfaction it would give certain people, and life or a long term in prison for manslaughter are worse than death, and I know what I'm talking about."
Two Leave Many Millions
New York City.—The late Henry H. Rogers, Standard Oil millionaire, left an estate of $49,009,099 in New York state and D. Ogden Mills left $36,536,791, according to official appraisals just filed.
Children Killed in Collision.
Bridgeport, Conn.—Four children are dead, two are dying and forty girls and boys lie in the Bridgeport and Norwalk hospitals more or less seriously injured as the result of the head-on collision of a church mission picnic car with a "beer" car on the Connecticut Co.'s trolley line six miles out of this city.
The cars came together at Nash's curve, three miles out of Norwalk. There were 50 children and their parents aboard the excursion car returning home from a day's outing.

HINDUS CLASH WITH WHITES ON VESSEL
Immigration Officials Are Thrice Repulsed by Savage Foreigners.
MANY GUARDS ARE INJURED
Hindus Battle Like Hounded Pirates When White Men Get on Deck of Jap Boat and for Fully an Hour a Furious Fight Is Waged.
Vancouver, B. C.—Hindus aboard the Japanese steamer Komogata Maru at this port gave battle to a detachment of guards sent out by the Canadian immigration authorities when the latter attempted to board the vessel for an inspection. At least a dozen guards were injured, some of them seriously. The Hindus battled like hounded pirates when the white men got on deck, and for fully an hour a furious fight was waged.
The Hindus repeatedly drove the officers from the ship and as often the attacking forces made advances. Reinforcements finally came and a charge led by Chief of Police McLennan of Vancouver finally was successful. McLennan was probably fatally injured in the fight, having been knocked down by a bludgeon in the hands of one of the Hindus.
Fight Hand to Hand.
The Hindus, fortunately, were unarmed and were forced to withhold their defense of the ship for hand-to-hand encounters, except for burling bottles and missiles of every description into the little gang of men who heroically attempted to obey the commands of duty. Finally, when the Hindus were driven from the deck in the face of repeated volleys from the officers they all were captured.
Once the white men controlled the deck, a hose was obtained and a stream of hot water turned upon the ship's crew. The stokers then were taken forcibly from the hold. The battle is unprecedented in the annals of the war. Chief of the McLennan's detained information that smugglers were on board, and he immediately notified the government authorities. It is believed the Hindus had been warned that the inspection officers would attempt to board the vessel, for no sooner was the attempt to reach the deck of the Komogata Maru made than the attack from the stokers was started.
Three of the Hindus were shot during the fight and many of McLennan's party, including himself, were injured. Detective McArthur, who was knocked down and severely beaten in a personal encounter with a stalwart Hindu, was thrown overboard, his comrades being eyewitnesses to the battle, although unable to render him aid. He was fished out of the water and it is believed he will recover.
Many Guards Injured.
Capt. Robertson of the Sea Lion, which came alongside the Japanese vessel, was hit over the eye with a bottle, and Inspector Scott, was knocked unconscious in one of several charges made against the foreigners. Detectives Riecl, Scott, Tisdall, L. H. Taylor and G. L. K. Taylor by andes hurled by the Hindus, and it is said Minnitt, who suffered a severe contusion of the scalp, likely will die. Detective McLeod was struck on the arm by a club and Inspector Wisher was hit on the head and badly cut.
The Japanese ship was suspected of having on board smugglers, but the authorities had no idea that there were Hindus aboard. The brown men are said to have been on their first trip to this country. They acted like uncivilized savages. But for the heroism of men in the party of immigration officials it is probable that many of the guards would have been killed.

SECRETARY OF STATE BRYAN
REFUSES TO PAY TEN CENTS
FOR COLLAR BUTTON.
Washington, D. C.—Secretary of State Bryan displayed his thrifty spirit in a haberdasher's shop last week when he refused to pay 10 cents apiece for collar buttons.
The clerk offered a set of three for a quarter buttons.
"I want only one," said Bryan.
"That will be 10 cents, then," replied the clerk.
"No, indeed," said the secretary hastily.
"I won't pay 10 cents for a single collar button. I know where I can get them down the street for 5 cents."
He departed in search of the nickel button.
Bullet Reveals Gold.
San Bernardino—W. E. Noble, a desert teamster, took a shot at a rattlesnake in Calco canyon, Nev., a few days ago. The bullet broke off a piece of rock that resulted in Noble's discovery of a gold and silver strike that has started a rush for the scene. Noble's strike runs $150 gold and 900 ounces of silver to the ton. Noble has freighted through the region many years, passing within a few feet of the ledge that now will make him rich.

TUSKEGEE BOARD MEETS.
Trustees of Noted School Encouraged.
Dr. Washington, Bennett.
New York City.—The annual meeting of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute board of trustees was held at the rooms of the general education board of the Rockefeller foundation, in this city, the last week in June. Among the members present were the Hon Seth Low, New York city, chairman; Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Chicago; Mr. William C. Willcox, New York city; Mr. Charles E. Mason, Boston; Mr. C. W. Hare, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mr. William Jay Schiefelin, New York city; Mr. V. H. Tulane, Montgomery, Ala.; Mr. William M. Scott, Philadelphia; Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal; Mr. Warren Logan, treasurer, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee institute, Ala. There were present also at the meeting Mr. Charles H. Gibson, chief accountant, and Mr. R. R. Taylor, director of mechanical industries, Tuskegee institute.
Major R. R. Moton of the Hampton institute, Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeannes fund board and Ron J. C. Napier, former register of the United States treasury, were invited to sit with the board during its proceedings. The most important section of the board was the election of three new trustees, Mr. George McAneny, president of the board of aldermen, New York city, succeeding the late Robert C. Ogden; Mr. Edward A. Bancroft, chief counsel of the International Harvester company, Chicago, Ill., succeeding the late Dr. John C. Grant of Chicago, and Dr. Alexander Mann, director of Trinity church, Boston. The institute's budget for the year 1914-15, calling for an appropriation approximating $200,000 was approved. The effectiveness of the institute's work in the south in rural school building and its leadership in urging its students to develop farming colonies were matters of especial mention
The report of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the principal of the institute, was listened to with particular interest, and his recommendation calling for a retiring fund for Tuskegee institute teachers and other matters of especial interest with regard to the institute's work during the past year received the special consideration of the board. It is the plan to print and circulate Dr. Washington's report as a separate publication early in the fall. The report shows that altogether the school has received from all sources during the past twelve months for current expenses, permanent improvements, additions to the endowment and for special purposes $473,764.92, an increase of $116,432, or 32 per cent. over the past year's receipts. The report of the principal and treasurer showed that 849 colored people had contributed toward the expenses of the Tuskegee institute during the past year. While it is not a matter legally or directly connected with the work of the institute, nevertheless a plan was launched at the meeting by which 1,750 acres of land have been purchased near the institute with a view of encouraging young colored men, preferably graduated from the agricultural department of the Tuskegee institute, to settle and become farmers. The money to purchase the land outright was provided, and the land is now being surveyed for the purpose of erecting houses on it for prospective purchasers. It is the idea to make a model Negro farming settlement.
On the tract of land are already a gin, store and railroad station. In addition to securing the money for paying for this land, the money was subscribed to pay all the expenses in connection with, operating the experiment for a given period. During the meet the gin was the king of trustees in New York city news was published in the New York newspapers that the Tuskegee institute is to receive $50,000 under the will of the late Mrs. Morris K. Jesup.
BELIEVES IN FAIR PLAY.
Miss Maud Reynolds Corrects Mistake Regarding Home For Wayward Girls.
Ronnoke, Va.—In a letter to H. C. Young, editor of the Newport C. News, Newport News, Va., Miss Maud Reynolds of this city makes the following statement regarding her connection with the Virginia State Federation of Women's Clubs:
In a recent issue of your spicy journal it was staged that I am the founder of the home for wayward girls. I am not the mother of the newborn to take honors which do not belong to me.
This institution is being established by the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Club, under the leadership of Mrs J. Barrett of Hampton, Va. I am simply one of the officers, working for the cause. I regret very seriously that this mistreatment was published, and I do hope the aboys be concerned in the proper light before the public. Respectfully,
(MISS) MAUD REYNOLDS.
Ronnoke, Va.
Meeting of the Jeans Fund Board.
The executive committee meeting of the Jeanes fund board was held in the rooms of the general education board in New York recently, with the following named members present: Dr. Booker T. Washington, chairman of the executive committee; Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the fund; Major R. R. Moton, secretary; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, Richmond Medical college, Richmond, Va.; Hon. J. C. Napier, former register of the United States treasury, Nashville, Tenn. E. J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee institute, was on motion asked to sit with the board during its deliberations.
The board controls a fund of $1,000.000, the interest upon which, some $40.000, is spent in the south each year among the rural schools for colored people. The report of the year's work was most interesting.
KNOWS HOW TO GET RESULTS
Personal Story of the Labors of a Tuskegee Institute Graduate Among the People of Caroline County, Va. Hearty Co-operation in Effort to Secure Better Schoolhouses.
Mrs. Nannie Lee Butler, who was graduated from Tuskegee institute in 1911 and is now serving as an industrial supervising teacher in Caroline county, Va., tells an interesting and prophetic story of the awakening of the colored people to the possibility of having, even under most adverse conditions, better schools, better homes and better community response to pressing needs.
"Shortly after I took up my work as an industrial supervisor the state of Virginia, through the superintendent of public instruction, offered to provide the salary of a second teacher for every community that would build a two room school according to the state plans," said Mrs. Butler on a recent visit to Hampton institute.
"I went into four communities and tried to show the advantages and wisdom of heeding this call. Each community that I visited, although it was poor, took up the struggle, and by personal contributions of work, money and materials all of the four schools, each costing $1,500 and having two teachers, have been built and occupied during the past year.
"Sacrifices were made by our people to accomplish this result. At Bowling Green one man, whose property holdings are valued at only a thousand dollars and who has a growing family of eight to support, gave out of his weekly earnings in one year $250. How did he do it? Not all at once at some big rally. Sometimes at the freight office he would pay a bill for lime, cement or other material, and at the next meeting of the School Improvement league he would quietly hand the receipt to the treasurer.
"One man who did the mason work gave one-half of his time free. Another man who lives in a shabby, rented tenement, contributed $5 of the $5 he had received for laying the cement floors of the porches. Still another man who did not have the ready money did have timber land, from which he cut and hauled logs to the mill and contributed the lumber cut from them.
"To push the work more rapidly the women gathered at one school, and while the men of the community put on the weather boarding the women nailed on the laths on all the side walls and finished their tasks without a smashed finger. Many of the women who are helping to support their families by washing (and, I might say, that 25 cents is the price paid for an individual laundry in Caroline county) have time and time again contributed the whole amount to push along the work of school building.
"Last year the colored people raised by contributions, without help from the school board, some $5,400 for buildings and school improvements. We are now striving to raise $6,000 to build four more graded schools. We are also striving to collect $200 to equip properly the workroom at Bowling Green, for wherever new graded schools have supplemented the one room schools we are endeavoring to use the old buildings as workrooms in which will be taught sewing, cooking and housekeeping to the girls and manual training to the boys. Every school that has been reached has been awakened to the idea of doing something definite to improve conditions and to make the school buildings and grounds attractive.
"Through the summer work we have been better able to reach the homes, and by teaching the children in their own homes we have been able to influence the mothers. Wherever possible mothers' clubs have been formed. They have for their purpose not the raising of money for the schools, but the changing of the morals and the manners of the children in the home, along the highway and in the school.
"My preparation for work in this great forward movement I owe to Tuskegee. There from the big heart of Dr. Booker T. Washington I learned the lessons of unselfishness and service. In sending me out to industrial work he took me by the hand and said, 'We don't expect you to fail.' Thus he gave me inspiration to put into practice the lessons he had learned at Hampton and which he had taught me at Tuskegee."
Georgia Educators to Meet July 28.
President Richard R. Wright of the Georgia State college in Savannah, Ga., has again shown his interest in the cause of education by agreeing to entertain the members of the Georgia Association of Teachers in colored schools at the annual meeting of the association, to be held in Savannah, beginning Tuesday morning, July 28, for two days free of charge. Professor M. W. Reddick, president of the association, says that the program for the coming session will be one of unusual interest. He, therefore, urges a large attendance.

MADAME CAILLAUX
RELATES HER TALE
SAYS SHE SHOT EDITOR BECAUSE OF INSULTS SUFFERED THROUGH HIS ATTACKS.
Declares She Knew Calmette Was Going to Publish Love Letters Sent by Her Husband Before He Divorced First Wife.
Paris, France.—"I shot Gaston Calmette because I knew that he was going to publish in his newspaper the love letters that had been sent me by my husband, M. Callaux, before he had divorced his first wife, Mme Guerdon. These letters had been stolen from M. Callaux by his wife, who wanted to ruin me because her husband loved me."
These words form the essence of the thrilling, impassioned statement made in the court of assizes by Mme. Joseph Calllaux, wife of the former premier and cabinet minister of France, who stood on trial for her life for the slaying of Gaston Calmette, late editor of Le Figaro, on March 16, last. For three and one-half hours the beautiful woman talked to the judges and jury.
Portrays Mental Agony.
It was only after she had concluded her narrative and was asked if there was anything she would like to add that she cast restraint aside and with accents of genuine emotion thrilled her listeners and elicited murrurs of applause. Then she described vividly the protracted agony she had endured because of the calumnies against herself and her husband.
"For three months I mounted Calvary," she said. "Such I do not wish to my worst enemy. No one can imagine what I went through. I feared for myself, my husband, for my child. I feared_for myself because if part of the letters I had written were published my deepest, innermost secret would be displayed before the world. My woman honor stands stripped and naked. I had always been taught that a woman's honor consisted in having her life as open as possible. I was reared by aged parents. My father was the son of a rich Bourgeois of the period of 1830, devoted to the ideas of that epoch. My poor father, who last year told me that a wife who had a lover was a woman without honor, never would have set foot in my house had he known of my liaison with M. Caillaux.
Reproached on Her Birth.
Reproached on Her Birth.
"We were reproached with being of the Bourgeolse. It is true. I do not blush for it. I am a Bourgeolse. When the letters were purloined M. Callaill and myself felt alike; we would have preferred to renounce our great happiness rather than see our inner life blazoned to the world. I feared the publication of the letters on account of their friendship from friends to many friends, especially among the embassies, and in those circles people wished to humilize and cast ridicule upon my husband by the publication of two letters, addressed to two different women, signed "Thy Joe." They wished to throw contempt upon the head of a minister of the republic, the chief of the Radical party, and strike through him, the republic. Finally, I did not wish to blush before my daughter; that is one thing a woman must not be asked to do. I deeply regret the present misfortune, and I would have undergone anything in the world rather than have been the cause of it."
Forgets False Teeth, Freed.
Jersey City, N. J.-False teeth, or rather the lack of them, got Thomas B. Patho, 55, his liberty when he was arraigned before Judge O'Brien on a charge of intoxication.
"Don't send me to jail, judge," pleaded Patho. "If you do I'll starve. I can't eat without my teeth, and I've left them at home."
"Well," said the court, "I'll let you go this time, but the next time you bring your teeth with you, do you hear?"

WILSON REQUESTS SUIT AGAINST N. H.
Sanctions Proceedings to Punish Directors and Dissolve Combine.
WRITES TO ATTORNEY GENERAL
Position of President and Department of Justice Has Just Been Made Public Through Letters—Government's Action Will Be Brought Immediately.
Washington, D. C.—Criminal proceedings before a grand jury to punish the directors of the New Haven and a civil suit to dissolve the railroad combine will be brought immediately by the department of justice, with the sanction of President Wilson. The position of the president and attorney general has just been made public through three letters, one from the attorney general to President J. S. Hustis of the New Haven, dated July 9; one to President Wilson from the attorney general, dated July 21, and the president's reply July 21. The concluding paragraph of the president's letter is as follows:
President's Concluding Remark.
In his letter to the president McReynolds stated that if his recommendations met with approval he would immediately give the necessary directions.
"The criminal aspects of the case," he states in his letter, "have been kept constantly in mind; much data bearing thereon was collected some months ago and care has been exercised to permit nothing which might interfere with proper prosecutions at the appropriate time. We have not held out the slightest hope that parties would escape." The president's letter to Attorney General McReynolds in full is as follows:
Wilson's Letter to McReynolds.
'My Dear Mr. Attorney General;
"I have your letter of today, inclosing a copy of your letter of July 9 to Mr. J. H. R. Co. president together disclose the failure of the directors of the N. Y. N., H. H. R. R. Co. to complete with the terms of the settlement proposed by them H. H. R. Co. president together railroad holdings. Their final decision in this matter causes me the deepest surprise and regret. Their failure upon so many requests me inexplicable and endured without justification. The department deliberately and solently entered into and which was manifestly in the common experience me inexplicable and endured without justification. "You have been kind enough to keep me informed of every step the department took in this matter, and the holding of this agreement will meet with my entire approval. It was just, reasonable and efficient. It should have resulted in avoiding what must now be done. "The circumstances the course you propose is the only one the government can pursue. I. therefore, request and direct that a proceeding in equity be filed, and that the government be monopoly of transportation facilities in New England now sought to be maintained by the R. C. Ro. and that the criminal aspects of the case be laid before a grand jury. "With much regard, sincerely yours, "WOODROW WILSON."
Attorney General's Note.
The attorney general's letter to the president reviewing the New Haven situation in part is as follows:
"Saturday last I received a request to confer with a committee composed of members of the board on Monday. They came here and we discussed the situation. I emphasized the position of the government, as outlined in my letter of July 9, and energetically called attention to the results which would necessarily follow adherence to the position taken by them. They refused, however, to admit any obligation to confirm to the Massachusetts enactment and firmly declined to carry into effect their own proposals for an adjustment."
United After Eighteen Years
Canton. O—Just eighteen years from the day he was taken by foster-parents from the Fairmount Orphans' home at Alliance, William Tucker, 19, returned to the home of his father Tuesday. During this time neither had seen the other. The boy was taken from the home while his father was serving in the army, and the rules of the home forbade officials telling the father where the son had gone. The boy visited the orphanage Monday and after looking up the records learned where his father lived.
Quits as Lawmaker.
Washington, D. C.-By resigning from the house of representatives James T. McDermitt, Democrat of the Fourth Illinois district, Tuesday ended the agitation in the house that followed the publication and investigation of the lobby charges made by M. M. Mulhall, a former agent of the National Association of Manufacturers, Representative McDermitt asserted he would seek re-election, "appealing his case from the judiciary committee of the house to the people of his district."

SUFFERINGS AT SEA
Instances of Supreme Tests of Human Endurance.
Some of the Terrible Experiences of Those Who Have Been Shipwrecked —Battles Fought on Raft by Drunken Castaways.
It is difficult to imagine the sufferings of the boat's crew of the Columbian, who drifted about the Atlantic for 14 days before being picked up, for only the strongest could stand such exposure. Yet the annals of the sea show instances in which men have survived even greater hardships than this, London Answers states.
An example was provided by the two boats of the Carnarvon Castle, which was burnt some 850 miles from West Australia on January 31, 1907. The captain said they would reach land in seven days, but it was 24 before, by good luck, they chanced on the only spot where they could land.
On February 8 the boats lost sight of one another, but on the twenty-fourth day the mate's crew arrived at Rottentest island, having had no water for four days and no meat for the same time, some having been without for seven days. Although they had drunk salt water it did not seem to do them any harm, and only one man and two apprentices succumbed.
With clothes in rags, weak from lack of nourishment and sleep, another day or two would have finished them. They bathed to cool their bodies and smoked leather for lack of anything else. It was said that it was largely owing to the captain's courage and maintenance of the usual discipline and watches that land was reached.
Then there was the ghastly story of the Mignonette, which sent such a thrill of horror through the country in the middle '80s. Sailing for Australia it founded in a gale 1,600 miles from the cape, the captain, mate, a sailor and a boy getting away in a provisionless boat.
For days they drifted, getting weaker and weaker, and then it was proposed to draw lots to determine which of them should be killed. However, this was rejected, but on the twentieth day the boy was killed by the captain, the survivors being picked up four days later. The captain and mate were tried for murder on their return, sentence of death being commuted to six months' imprisonment.
Perhaps one of the most ghastly tales of shipwrecked mariners adrift concerns some fifteen survivors of the 150 men of the French frigate Medusa, who crowded on a badly made raft. It occurred just a century ago, the frigate striking a rock when sailing at full speed.
The captain climbed into a boat and 150 soldiers and sailors crowed on to a hastily made raft 65 by 25 feet. It was to have been towed by the boats to the nearest land, but before going far the rope of the captain's boat broke and the rest cut their cables. Yet land was known to be close, and the same evening was made by the boats.
On the rafts were a few casks of wine and some biscuits, part of which were served out the same day. When next morning dawned it was found that a number had been crushed to death, while the following night many were washed off into the sea, and the rest trying to crowd toward the middle to avoid a like fate several were suffocated.
Then some of the soldiers broached the remaining casks of wine, and in drunken fury tried to cut the rope binding the planks of the raft. Others tried to prevent it, until a regular battle raged, in which 65 were killed; some cut down the mast and others threw overboard the last of the water and two casks of wine.
On the third night more died, and the survivors turned to the bodies of their comrades for sustenance, while some flying fish added to their slender resources. In the night another attempt to destroy the raft was made, and the madmen were thrown overboard.
Thirty only now remained alive, and of these two died and two soldiers found drinking some of the remaining wine were pushed into the sea. The horrors were not at an end. Fifteen of the twenty-seven held a council of war, and decided that only those who seemed likely to survive should be allowed on the raft, as their stores were almost gone. Three days later those still alive were rescued by a vessel sent out to search for the Medusa. Wireless telegraphy has done much to reduce the chances of horrors such as these occurring.
Clevedon Church.
Clevedon church, which the suffragette have attempted to burn down, must be included in any list of English shrines, says the London Chronicle. For it contains the graves of Henry Hallam, the historian, and of his son, Arthur Hugh Hallam, the friend of Tennison. The epitaph on the tablet to Henry Hallam was written by Tennison himself. It is commendably brief: "Here with his wife and children rests Henry Hallam, the historian." According to the present Lord Tennison, the poet "thought the inscription most appropriate for the simple and noble man, whose work speaks for him." Within two days of his marriage, Tennison visited the church with his bride to see the last resting place of Arthur Hallam. "It seemed a kind of consecration to go there," he said.

SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1914.
This is a Republican year, in Ohio. Victory is in the air.
Every Afro-American in the state must vote. August 11. There should be no question as to this. Begin now to get ready to do so.
The State Assembly members to be nominated, August 11 and elected in November must include one or more members of the race. It is absolutely necessary that we have representation in the Legislature, this winter. All know why.
The democratic "hard times" are undoubtedly with us. The only way to get rid of them is to roll up a large Republican plurality in November. To do this, it is necessary for us to vote, August 11, help nominate Senator Foraker and good Republican tickets throughout Ohio, and victory will surely be ours on election day, this fall.
Our ministers throughout Ohio should urge their congregations to see to it that all of our voters, in their various communities, register, if necessary, and vote for Senator Foraker at the primaries, August 11. This is a duty we owe him and the race. Let us make ourselves a Foraker committee for this purpose and work incessantly until that date.
Dr. Loeb's statements relative to the mixing of races are those of an expert and are entitled to careful thought and consideration. If they were not truth what hope would there be for the composite American of the future? Is not America truly "a melting pot" of races; the country where the greatest mixing in the world is taking place every year? It is, and a "weaker" race, known as Americans, is NOT being produced, either.
A number of times in recent years, The Gazette has taken occasion to remark that Mrs. Patricia Robison has a knowledge of matters political and of statesmen that many scalloped political whites, white and Colored, lack. Then too, she has a way of "putting things" that is not only interesting but telling in the extreme. Mrs. Robison has sent The Gazette many excellent communications, as our many readers throughout the country can and will attest, we feel sure, but none of them have given us more real satisfaction than the one she has in this paper today, Senator Foraker is all she claims for him, and more, and no class of people in this state and country appreciates him as much today as our people unless, perhaps, it may be his old Republican comrades of the war of the rebellion.
Hundreds, yes thousands of warm friends and admirers, many of long years, standing, in this state alone, to say nothing of many of the other states of the Union, will sincerely mourn the death of that prince of men, Colonel James Lewis of New Orleans, La, almost the last surviving member of the "Old Guard." An old soldier and Republican with a splendid army and party record, a thorough race-man and chivalrous gentleman, as well as a wonderful friend-maker, his death, even at the ripe, old age of eighty-one years, is a distinct loss to the race that will be felt in almost every community (of any size) of our people in this country. He was our warm personal friend for many years, and in common with thousands of our people throughout the country, we extend to his sorrowing family our heart-felt sympathy.
The letter from Whigham, Ga., republished from the Cincinnati Enquirer of Sunday week, to be found elsewhere in The Gazette, would indicate that the standard of morality among the intelligent, wealthy, "Christian" whites of the South is not so very high (7) after all. We don't ever remember hearing of an intelligent or jonnor, good or bad, rich or poor Negro, South or North, or in Africa, either, so low "down" on the plane of innocence as is that brute—not man—H. Preston Powe. The condition he made in his beautiful Georgia home was simply horrible; worse than that in the home of any barbarian we have ever read or heard of. We hope many congressman will "hand" this to Ben. Tillman, Vardaman Williams and others of their "kidney" from the South, the very next time they again disrespect the U. S. Senate or House with their ungrateful and uncalled for abuse of the Negro. It ought to close
their mouths on that subject, at least, if anything short of Divine Power can do it.
REGAINING THEIR LIBERTY.
Robert Harris, recently liberated after a year or two's incarceration in the Colorado penitentiary, at Canon City, to which he had been wrongly sentenced, to be hanged, writes The Gazette that his father, who was also wrongly sent to the penitentiary for life for the same crime (killing two officers, who broke into their home, beat them and the aged mother, Mrs. Harris, mother of Robert), is still in jail at La Junta, Colo., awaiting a new trial, this fall; possibly in October. This is 'encouraging because another trial will undoubtedly secure the aged father his liberty just as it has the son. Nelther should ever have been convicted, in the first trials. They were only defending themselves and the aged Mrs. Harris from the wanton brutality of officers (white)* who forcibly entered their home, without warrants, to make arrests on the "sayso" of a misguided misinformed and too zealous neighbor (white) who may have been prejudiced. Our readers will remember the case of Robert Harris for whom The Gazette, some months ago, appealed for funds to help him make this last legal fight that secured to him his liberty. They will also remember his letter of thanks, to all who in any way assisted him, published in The Gazette of July 4, '14.
A White Friend of the Race and An Old Gazette Reader and Subscriber 'Praises It and Senator Foraker.
Hermeston, Ore. July 14, 1914.
Editor Gazette. The fight you are making for Ohio's noblest son, Joseph Benson Foraker. is GREAT!
More power to you! He is worthy of the devotion of all true Americans, for as a man and citizen he is the very type and model of what an American man should be. He has loved justice and hated iniquity; yet has he known how to temper justice with mercy. He has put the good of his country first and to act in all things and at all times as a patriot and Christian gentleman. American mothers can point their sons to him as a model and need make no exceptions. May my dear old home state honor herself by his triumphant nomination, next month, and then "now under" is opponents, in November, so deep they can never dig out.
I hope, too, to see you again elected to the Legislature. You are worthy the honor and I am sure no better, more sincere, patriotic and able a man can be found in Cleveland. I enclose a short editorial, from todds "Oregonian," which you may like to see. Yours sincerely. MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON. South Carolina does not acquire lust by the lynching of a Negro woman charged with killing a child, presumably white. The mob was, indeed, gravely injured from jail, and so was the Sheriff who let her go.—Portland Oregonian.
THE SOUTH.
Chicago, July 20, 14.
Editor Daily Book:—We reflect with horror the blood of the bloodsthirsty Turk. We, the members of a supposedly civilized community, condemn the Turk for his alleged atrocities upon a defenseless person, yet within our own community, Mason-Dixon line, atrocities are perpetuated which would put to shame the most un civilized savage—lynn law, the greatest blot upon the civilization of the South. Despite the spread of education and civilization, human life, at least the life of the Negro has little or no value. During the last ten years almost 1,000 people were killed in the South. Justice in the South is a mockery. Mob law prevails and predominates. Incidentally, the South is religious; intensely so. The South today is an industrial hell. The workers exist in the most inconceivable poverty. Children from 6 years up are found in the mills working ten and twelve hours a day. Migrated workers are charged with vagrancy and forced to work on their lines on plantations and on the roads. In this way is private capital enriching itself in the South. Race prejudice, the curse of the world, is responsible for lynch law and the existing industrial condition of labor in the South. The Florida legislature recently defeated a bill to prohibit working in the South. And this the South the religious South, the prosperous South, the chivalrous South, the damnable lifetaking, law-defying South.

THE W. M. M. CONVENTION.
Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:-The W. M. M. convention at Canton, two weeks ago, sent a beautiful and glorious summary of the convention. We understand "our always fair" Bishop Shaffer asked that no money be paid out during the year to preachers, except in very rare instances. Draw your own conclusion. No one asked for the convention for next year but the ex. board will have to force it on some society whether they want it or not. Draw your own conclusion. Thousand dollars was reported raised for all purposes through special effort of the societies. Deducting expenses, we judge eight or nine hundred dollars will go to the parent body and the same amount to the annual conferences.
A W. M. M.
COL. JAMES LEWIS DEAD.
One of the Most Popular of "The Old Guard" Positiones in Public Life
Positions in Public Life
New Orleans, La. — The recent death of Col. James Lewis, of this city, removed from the ranks of our people a most remarkable man. It is significant that all the daily papers of the city commented upon his life and referred to him in the most pleasing manner. By his long life, his devoted service for his people of all classes, his fine record for honesty and fair dealing, he was worthy of all the good things he were said of when taken all in all. He was named New Orleans citizen of color, loved and honored by both races. Not only was he interested in education but he was also a patriot and has an enviable record as a soldier, and until recent years was present at every Grand Army Encampment. When twelve years old he became a cabin boy on a river steamer and "worked on the water" fifteen years, until the war began. When all of his friends came up the Mississippi river, he left the river-boat, with another young man and paddied in a skiff six hundred miles down to New Orleans. He immediately petitioned Gen. Butter to form a regiment of Colored troops. When consent was given he was appointed captain of Company K. These were the first Negro companies raised and the war. This company captain and his company with Banks up the Red River, and also at the taking of Mobile. He loved the Grand Army and worked zealously in its behalf. Col. Lewis held the following Presidential appointments: U. S. Naval Officer, appointed to President Chester A. Arthur; Deputy Collector of Customs and Immigration Inspector under the General Staff. He was appointed by Harrison; U. S. Surveyor General, by President Wm. McKinley, and reappointed by President Theodore Roosevelt. Col. Lewis "Reconstruction Period" record was noteworthy. He held a number of important positions of trust and honor in the city government of New Orleans immediately after the war. He was at one time the president of the Buildings and later Administrator of Public Improvements. He was the only Republican in the City Council at that time and the Honorable Lewis Alfred Wiltz, a Democrat, Mayor in 1873, during the time that Col. Lewis was Administrator of Public Improvements, paid him the following compliment: "Col. Lewis has devoted himself to the great energy and industry, having contributed that every dollar expended should benefit the city." He had also high standing in the Masonic Fraternity, Col. Lewis had been Grand Master of the State, Sovereign Grand Inspector General of the Southern Jurisdiction, an accomplished Free Mason and attained the thirty-third degree of Scottish Rite Masonry. He was a Past Department Commander of the Grand Master of the State, Sovereign Grand Inspector General of Louisiana and Mississippi. The colonel was buried from his home in the Masonic St., Sunday week, the Masonic Fraternity and the Grand Army fraternity. Col. Lewis was born Sept. 11, 1833, at Woodville, Miss. He married Jan. 6, 1864, Miss Josephine B. Joubert, who survives him, together with four children. His last son, John, was the principal body man and the distinction of being the head bookkeeper in one of the leading commercial firms of New Orleans. The other children who survive are Joubert Lewis, Mrs. J. L. Petivan and Mrs. Thos. J. Baham.

Says Dr. Loeb of Rockafeller Insti tute—A Labor Organization in the South Urged, Etc.
Saganiere, Mass.—Feeling ran high at a recent sociological conference when in an open forum there was advocated intermarriage with the Negro, the Jew and the Japanese, and the formation of a huge Negro labor organization which should control the labor of the South. The exclusion of the Japanese from California was also called unchristian. Jacques Loeb and the research team of the National Research, New York, first started his audience when he said the facts of biology and eugenics pointed to the advisability of inter-marriage of black, white and yellow races. Hutchins Hapgood of New York proposed the Negro labor organization, and Professor Nathaniel Schmidt of Cornell University said the Jews should amalgamate with the Negro to take Tatiana hima, a Tokio pastor, called it unchristian to exclude the Japanese. Dr. A. Caswell Ellis of the University of Texas said the social recognition of the Negro would mean a mulatto race, Said Dr. Loeb: "Biology has nothing to support the supposition that a pure white or a pure black race is superior to a maltai. On the contrary, Tatiana hima's success lies in finding breeds that possess superior powers of resistance to climatic and other hardships. Various other scientists, biologists and eugenicists have found that the offspring of mixed races are the hardier offspring. While in some cases a mixed progeny is worse, in others it is better than a pure breed, and that scientific fact is breed, and that scientific fact is to show the absurdity of the belief that the South is better than the North, should be considered a felony. America is itself a result of a mixture of races." Hutchins Hapgood said: "I wish the Negro could start in the South a distrust of our civilization and our morality. He ought to have a big organization of unskilled labor comparable to the I. W. W. But a Negro should be the one that was the first to do when it controlled the labor market of the South. It could force a respect which no amount of Christianity can give the Negro."
A RICH WHITE PLANTER
In the South Criminally Assaults His Three Daughters, One a 23-Year-Old Widow, Who Shot and Killed Him. Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer. Whigham, Ga., July 11.—"I shot my father to death while he was asleep because he had repeatedly violated me and I was resolved never again to submit." That statement was made to-day by Mrs. Clifford Griffin, beautiful young widow, to a Coroner's jury inquiring into the death of H. Preston Powe, a wealthy planter, who was found dead in his bed due to a gunshot Thursday morning. The jury at once returned a verdict against him. The young woman's statement came after all-day investigation by Coroner E. G. Harrell. Suspicion had been directed against Howard Powe, 18-year-old of the dead man, and had caused his arrest. As soon as her brother was arrested, Mrs. Griffin insisted on taking the stand and confessed that she had held her father. She is 23 years old.
"After my husband died," said Mrs. Griffin, "and I returned to my father's home, he would not let me alone. He illtreated me repeatedly and I kept silent for the sake of my mother, sisters and brother. I didn't want the family name disgraced. I prayed to father to let me alone, but he paid no attention to me. Thursday night after 12 o'clock he came to my room and again I left him, then I left something seemed to snap in my brain. I could think of nothing but the horror of the situation, and I thought that I ought to kill him. I got a shotgun and went to his room. He was asleep and I put the gun to his temple and fired." Mrs. Griffin's story was corroborated by her mother and two sisters. The sisters, who are younger than Mrs. Griffin, also swore that their father is prominent in this section. Power was one of the wealthiest planters of the county, and was a leader in church work. His home was a favorite stopping place for preachers.
ASKS $7,500 DAMAGES
Hannibal, Mo.—Alleging that eight well-known Shelby county men (white) hanged him to a tree and then unmercifully beat him and made him suffer other indignities, Bud Davis, a Negro of that county, has filed suit in the Shelby Circuit Court, asking for $2,500 actual damages and $5,000 practice actual damages. Born Ernest Jewett, Fletcher Aflick, Thomas Collins, R. M. Spaulding, Otis See, Robert White and E. J. Colburn are the defendants. The case promises to be sensational because of the prominence of the defendants, and the charges. It will be heard at the October term at Shelby County Court, where wrongfully accused of breaking a window pane at Shelbina on or before April 19.
Famous Khyber Pass.
The Khyber Pass, from the time of Alexander the Great, has been noted as the great military and trade gateway into India from the Asiatic countries to the east. The pass begins near Jamrud in India, 10% miles west of Peshawar, and twists through the hills for about 33 miles in a northwesterly direction till it debouches at Dakka, in Afghanistan.
Gauls First to Shoe Horses.
It is not known who were the first horseshoers, but, historians declare that the Gauls before the Christian era were the first to apply artificial protection of the hoof. The art was first introduced into England by William the Conqueror, who lived during the years 1027-1087—Horseshoer's Journal.

In all civilization, in all history, there is no more disgraceful parallel, no more shocking spectacle than these same African Dodgers, who, themselves utterly devoid of pride and manhood, ply their disgraceful trade in the world.

Substitution of a policy of force for a policy of moral sasion is justified as a police measure in certain cases, the opinion of the police for force for director Benechop
expressed his belief, last week, in announcing his decision in the cases of Patrolineen Canfeld and Joseph krui, who were charged with using unnecessary violence in the arrest of lugene Bubbs the night of July 4. The charges against both policemen were dismissed by the director. "Canfield admits that he kicked Bubbs in going to help Riley," said the director, after all witnesses had been heard. "I am persuaded that Bubbs was looking for trouble and I am glad that he got all that was coming to him." Well! well! What do the Cleveland Association of Colored Men and the local police have to say, A. P. of Bonesch's verdict and opinion? We would like to know. Our people of this city cannot afford to let this matter drop here. They should take it into courts, even if neither of the two organizations, named above, move in the matter, and we feel sure that at least one of them will.
Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of that great race paper, The Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette, and thrice a member of the Ohio Legislature, is again, at the solicitation of hundreds of Afro-American and white friends, seeking the nomination for the legislature from his, the Cleveland district.) The Pioneer Press has noted the strenuous career and long service of Editor Smith during the 30 or more years that it has known him, and he has never been found wanting in that one most important quality for a man of color—race leadership. This alone would eminently fit him for the honor which is rightly possessed by him are so many and varied that it would be in the nature of a calamity for his constituents in Cuyahoga County to allow him to fail in either the nomination or election. Not only is Editor Smith intensely interested in everything affecting the welfare of the race with which he is identified, but he is truly a representative man—one having hundreds of pale-face friends who can be depended upon to follow his scandal. In connection with his plenitude, he know such a man as Editor Smith is seeking membership in Ohio's legislature, and it is the sincere wish of the Pioneer Press that he may be successful at the primaries on August 11.—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press.
MINISTERS' ALLIANCE PROTEST!
Denounce the Alleged "Mt. Pleasant Home" As Segregation, As Undemocratic, Un-Christian, An Entering Wedge of Jim-Crowism, As Retrogression and a Wide Step Backward.
Mr. President and Brethron of the Colored Ministers' Alliance.
We, our committee, appointed J. A. 20th, 1914, to investigate the alleged organization of a Home EXCLUSIVELY FOR COLORED children, beg leave to submit the following report:
1. We find that the Home on E. 126th St is a private enterprise and has been mainly supported by one Chas. E. Stewart. Relative to the care of the children or condition of the same, we express no opinion, and has been recommended since the institution is private, or, at the most, quasi public.
2. We find that a public home for Colored children, exclusively, has been projected, and a tentative organization has been actually formed, with officers elected, a membership fee decided upon, and membership blanks printed.
3. We also find that this proposed institution has the endorsement of Dr. E. A. Smith and Mr. Thaxter Eaton of the Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, assistant secretary of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce.
We, our committee, do hereby enter our most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons, so wit:
1st—here is absolutely no necessity for such an institution. The city, the county and the state have made ample and satisfactory provision for all of its dependent children, without regard to race, color, or previous conditions.
2nd—the multiplicity of such institutions simply increases the public burden and must, ultimately, lead to the increase of taxation, now already heavy.
3rd—the initiation of such an institution will inevitably lead to the displebly undemocratic and unchristian policy of segregation and therefore, become the entering wedge of "jim-crowism," so detestable to all self-respecting Negroes, the world over.
4. Such a step is plainly and unmistakably retrogression, a wide step backward toward slavery and proscription, a step backward toward the principles fought for, and obtained at the cost of much sacrifice, privation and bloodshed.
5. We are an English speaking people, thoroughly American, loyal to every interest of our government, and firmly believe in that perfectly democratic principle of unity enunciated by Dr. Lyman Abbott, and our own Dr. Washington Gladden—"The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man."
Respectfully submitted,
ELAM A. WHITE,
H. C. BAILEY,
CHAS. BUNDY,
G. V. CLARK.
The above report was unanimously adopted by the Ministers' Alliance, Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1914.
HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
As a result of 'Judge Addams' and Sheriff Smith's urging, the county commissioners are planning a large detention home for boys and girls, the boys' detention home on the west side and the one for the girls on this side of the city, being inadequate to meet the demand. An agreement with the Salvation Army Rescue Home and The House of Good Shepherd, in addition to the detention home at 2333 E. 43d St., are not sufficient to provide places for girls. Pending arrangements for a permanent and large detention home for both boys and girls, Judge Addams has asked the commissioners to rent the premises adjoining the present detention home for girls in E. 43d St., and a house on the West Side to supplement the present boys' detention home which occupies the two upper floors of the Detroit-West 29th St., police station. Supplementing the foregoing are, the home for boys at Hudson, and The Cleveland Girls' Home, opened at Warensville, under the city department of public welfare, and immediately under the supervision of Miss Vera Schafer, 10214 Hampden Ave. N. E. In the face of the foregoing, will some one find the shadow of a good excuse for the existence of that "timrow" Mt. Pleasant children's home!

At a recent meeting of the City Federation of Women's clubs, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered printed in The Gazette:
We, the City Federation of Women's clubs, do earnestly enter our protest against establishing the "Mt. Pleasant Home for Colored Children," there being no necessity for such a home, and children are being better cared for in local institutions for all. We shall fight such an effort and use every influence to wipe out the objectionable "Home" and any other, promoting discrimination and segregation.
We, the women of the Federation, many of us belonging to the Auxiliary to the Juvenile Court and Humane society, organized to assist in the work of placing and relieving dependent children, know the abundance of work done by our people in the organization and therefore, feel that such a step as organizing such a "home" is entirely unnecessary, non-progressive and an insult to our race, and do hereby enter a vigorous protest, placing ourselves squarely on record as opposing such a harmful movement, and as determined to use every influence to wipe it out.
The statement being made, to the effect that the alleged "Children's Pleasant Heaven" has promised $1,000 in its existing one year, only aggravates the situation and, if true, but shows the determination of a few prejudiced per-

SERVIAN KING ABDICATES; SON TAKES THRONE
ADVOCATES A WEST POINT FOR DIPLOMATS
REV. HENRY N. COUDEN. THE BLIND CHAPLAIN
SPEAKER CLARK WANTED TO HEAR THE STORY
---
Because of ill health, King Peter I of Servia has abdicated the throne in favor of his second son, Prince Alexander.
[Image of a man in a military uniform with a turban and a sword].
King Peter I, who is seventy years old, ascended the Servian throne June 15, 1903, after the murder of King Alexander. At 12:30 on the night of June 10, about 40 Servian army officers entered the royal palace, burst open the apartments of King Alexander and Queen Draga and shot their majors dead. On the same occasion several Servian ministers were assassinated, and altogether during the night 54 people were killed or wounded.
The king, who has just abdicated, was in Geneva at the time, and he afterward denied all knowledge of the conspiracy. He, however, never caused the punishment of the conspirators, who retained their rank in the Servian army. King Peter, until his accession, led a very adventurous life.
Curtis Guild, former governor of Massachusetts, at one time ambassa-
dor to Russia,
journalist and soldier,
says Uncle Sam needs a school to train diplomats. In recent interview Mr. Guild said:
J. B.
"We need a school to train diplomatists as much as we need West Point or Annapolis. Yet while our military and naval academies are everywhere acknowledged to be second to none in the world, we have never made the slightest move toward the establishment of such an institution."
In detail the reforms which Mr. Guild most strongly advocates for the diplomatic and consular service go far beyond this. He stated them about like this:
"First, we should have a permanent basis of appointment and promotion as invariable as that at present maintained in the army and navy.
As the gavel falls a hush descends upon the hall of the house of representatives at Wash ington. Doorkeep ers take their places at all doors, close them, and stand facing the house to prevent entrance or egress at this solemn moment of the day. The hundred or more members who are on time arise, with one or two exceptions, and stand in reverent attitude.

"One afternoon, recently, there arose a situation on the floor wherein the tension between some of the opposing members was high to the point of voraciousness. By some characteristic remarks, replete with that homely philosophy of his, Speaker Clark turned the situation and relieved the strain.
"Bruck both by the timely wisdom and the apprehension of the remark, I broke forth into several private but
A Century Ago.
One of the most lamentable disasters that betell any of the ships of the American navy in connection with the second war with Great Britain, occurred on June 28, 100 years ago. This was the loss of the little United States schooner "Alligator," in command of Lleut. Russell Bassett. While cruising in Port Royal sound, off the Carolina coast, a region of the sea noted for the treachery of the winds and currents, the vessel was upset and smok by a violent whirlwind. Of her
He studied in Switzerland and then went to the French military academy at St. Cyr. He participated in the Franco-German war as an officer of the foreign legion.
For many years he is said to have engaged in conspiracies against King Milan of Servia, but for 45 years he himself never set foot on Servian soil until he had been elected king by the Servian parliament.
The new King Alexander was born on December 4, 1888. He has hitherto been very popular among Lie Servians. He was educated in St. Petersburg and is of a studious and refined temperament.
He obtained the right of succession when the first son, George, renounced the right of succession. The escapades of Prince George caused the royal cab net to compel him to surrender his claims on the throne.
Prince George is popular in the army, however, and there is a strong sentiment in his favor in some official circles.
The assassination of the king and queen in 1903 stirred the world, and King Peter, who is of the house of Karageorgevich, found a troubled kingdom to be guilded. His heir, Prince Alexander, will have an easier time than did his father at the beginning of his reign, it is generally conceded by those familiar with the situation.
"This would transform our service into what such services are in other countries; bodies offering life care to men whose inciliation toward them makes them work to enter them, and whose aptitude in them makes them successful after they have entered them.
"Second, the remuneration which this country offers for such services should be sufficient to permit incumbents, without encroachment on their private funds, to make such expenditures as may be requisite to the fulfilment of their posts' demands.
"Third, the United States should purchase sites in foreign capitals and upon them erect permanent buildings adapted to consular and diplomatic needs.
"I shall put the necessity of a consular and diplomatic school fourth in the list of needs. Entrance to it should come through appointment by senators or representatives, or both. This would insure good material."
"Fifth, there should be established American centers in all large foreign cities, where there is various American representation, as where there are diplomatic, consular, military and naval representatives; at least, their offices should be housed beneath one roof."
Rev. Henry Noble Couden, is one of the best known figures in public life in Washington. For 19 years he has opened the daily session of the house in the manner described. Under four speakers he has served. Republicans and Democrats all like have known him as their own chaplain.
In all his 19 years of service he has missed attendance at the opening of the house but twice, excepting, of course, the times when he was ill and furnished a substitute. On one occasion his attendant forgot and left him sitting in the lobby. On another occasion a great storm detained him and caused him to arrive late and after the house had begun its session. This is a record to be proud of.
In many respects Doctor Couden is more than the mere prayer-maker of congress. His relations to the membership of the house at all times have resembled those of the pastor of a church, or of a chaplain of a regiment of troops. He visits the congressional sick, buries the dead, gives spiritual comfort and consolation, when he may—and is often called upon. Many men serving in congress have no church affiliations. To Doctor Couden they turn naturally as their official spiritual counselor.
hearty chuckles. They, but not their cause, caught the eye of the speaker "The next day, having occasion to leave the chair, he stopped as he passed my seat and, bending over me, asked, as though in confidence: "Say, Farr, tell me the joke you were laughing at so heartily about this time yesterday."
How to Keep Bread Fresh
Dr. J. R. Katz of the University of Amsterdam has recently concluded some interesting experiments showing the action of heat upon the chemical changes which result in staleness in bread. His conclusions are that bread may be kept fresh for as long a period as 40 hours if stored in a temperature of 50 degrees C. or higher. In less heat, say from 30 to 40 degrees C., it becomes "half stale" in a shorter time and at ordinary temperatures, of course, stales very rapidly. The doctor finds, too, that an extremely low temperature preserves the freshness of bread for many hours, especially if the storage place is dry. The conclusions of this eminent scientist, it may be added, coincide with those of the thrifty housewife who, from time im memorial, has been accustomed to "freshen up" her bread by molesting it with a little water and then putting it in the oven for a few minutes.

PLAITED TUNICS WORN FOR DANCE
Garments Noticeable Among the Pleasure Seekers at Monte Carlo.
ARRANGED IN VARIOUS WAYS
All of the Same Order, But Have Distinctive, Touches—Mrs. Langtry Preserves Her Beauty in a Really Remarkable Manner.
MONTE CARLO—I saw at a tango tea in the Cafe de Paris some charming gowns. The Hotel de Paris and the Cafe de Paris are two large establishments situated in the gardens of Monte Carlo. And they may be regarded as the meeting places of the most fashionable women in Europe.
The seductive tango has caught on here, as elsewhere. It is, perhaps, not quite such a rage in Monte Carlo as at Nice, nevertheless it is danced everywhere, and it is made an excuse for the purchase of a series of fascinating gowns.
I was struck by a number of plaited tunics worn by the dancers. And these plaited tunics were almost all composed of transparent, or semi-transparent, materials, such as crepe de chine, chiffon, silk mousseline, etc.
They were arranged in many different ways, some were slightly stiffened at the hem, after the manner of the "Persian" models, others hung long and straight, falling below the knee line.
As a rule these tunics were worn over draped skirts, in charmeuse or supple tauketas, and they were accompanied by smart little corsages trimmed with narrow bands of skunk, or bolero coatees made of chiffon velvet in some rich strong shade. For example, a highly original afternoon gown worn by Madame de Casteja, who is one of the noted beauties of Monte Carlo this season.
Pretty Shade of Taffeta.
The skirt, which was cleverly draped and rather short, was made of "rose Dubarry" tafatfa, and there was a plaited tunic, which reached to the knees, of chiffon in the same shade. This tunic was confined at the edge by a border of skunk, and there was a sawed sash of black satin ribbon, which had embroidered and fringed ends done in small porcelain beads of several shades of red and pink.
Then there was a bolero in deep wine-red velvet and this coatree opened over a picturesque blouse made of ivory white silk muslin. The collar of the blouse was cut square at the back and it was embroidered in porcelain beads similar to those on the ends of the sash.
The sleeves of the velvet bolero were short and long glores in pale gray suede were worn. It was an extremely attractive and original gown and the hat, which accompanied it, was one of the new flat-brimmed shapes, covered with glittering jet.
The only trimming on this hat was a jet butterfly which was placed far out on the brim at the left side. A very pretty girl who was in Lady Bathe's party wore a delightful little gown, composed of Lancet blue talfea and mirror velvet.
With Bolero Coatee.
The taffetta skirt was closely plaited from waist to hem, and then there was a draped tunic of velvet, bordered with a narrow band of skunk. This tunic was finished at by a borrocoatée and the little garment was double breasted and fastened with a large button made of filigree silver incrusted with turquoises. The toque worn with this gown was made entirely of black mirror velvet. It was a close-fitting shape, with a very high supple crown and for trimming it had a thin mount in black horse hair. Lady de Bathe (Mrs. Langtry) looked very handsome. She was wearing a complicated gown composed of moonlight blue charmeuse and cut jet. The skirt was arranged in draperies which crossed and recrossed each other, and there was a ceinture of dark crimsen peau de suede, which was finished off with a red enamel buckle set with rubles.
The afternoon was rather chilly and Lady de Bathe was wearing a dark blue velvet wrap, with a large sable collar, when she entered the cafe. Her toque was entirely covered with jet beads and the high crown gave support to a panache of black ostrich feathers.
Favored by Fortune.
This well-known "beauty" has been here since the beginning of the season. It is said that she has won a considerable sum at the tables and it is undeniable that she looks remarkably well pleased with herself, and the world at large.
She is handsomer than ever. I think. She was the center of attraction last night at the opera, when she wore a marvelous gown composed of lemon-yellow velvet, and chiffon embroidered in silver; the entire front of her corsage seemed covered with diamonds, and at her waist, thrust into the softly folded sash, there was an orange colored chrysanthemum surrounded by dark brown leaves.
The famous English society beauty, Miss Mueller Wilson, was also present last night, and she was gowned
New Use for Potato Juice.
New Use for Potato Juice.
Potato juice as a remedy for sprains, lumbago, gout, rheumatism and bruises is recommended by Dr. Heaton C. Howard of London in an article in the Lancet. He cites numerous cases in his own practise in which the pain has been relieved quickly, sometimes by the first application, and the fluid that has exuded into the joint or the membranes has been absorbed within a few days.
Potato juice is used as an ointment, a liniment or a plaster. The raw
in pure white. She had white chiffon velvet, white chiffon embroidered and fringed in crystal, white gardenias at her, breast and a single rope of matchless pearls.
Busy With Entertainments.
Mrs. Wilson and her daughter are entertaining a large house party at their villa, which is situated in a picturesque corner of the Riviera—at St Jean. This charming place is within easy motoring distance of Monte Carlo or Nice, and all through the spring season the villa known as "Maryland" will be filled with the best-known members of London society.
I observed this week one of Beer's latest Riviera models. This dressmaker, in common with many others of the Rue de la Palx and Place Vendome celebrities, has branch establishments here at Monte Carlo and also at Nice. At this season of the year all the Parisian dressmakers and tailors display their best models in the "Sunny South"—models which will be worn and copied in Paris in the months of March and April.
The model is free from exaggeration of any kind. It is just one of those charming afternoon gowns which seem suitable for almost any occasion. It is smart enough to be worn at an afternoon dance, but not too dressy for ordinary visiting purposes.
The material of the original model was sapphire blue taffeta. Sapphire blue may be said to be one of the colors of the sapphire dress, specially in *affecta* and in *chiffon velvet*.
The skirt had padded superiors and the picturesque corsage opened over one of the new white linen blouses. At the neck there was a quaint collar of ermine, and narrow bands of the same fur finished on the sleeves. One finds these blouses of silk-finished linen worn with all sorts of different gowns.
Worn With Medici Collar.
Even in conjunction with dainty奏 composed of embroidered chiffon or of chiffon velvet more often than not these blouses are finished off with Medici collaris which roll over at the back and give a finish to the bolero or

corsage. Very lovely and expensive buttons are introduced on these blouses, and they possess a certain cachet which sets them apart from their fellows.
The model would look attractive if copied in navy blue taffeta or in any of the new shades of charmeuse. Paniers arranged as I have indicated in my crawing are extremely fashionable and they will be seen on many of the best spring and summer models.
Typical Hat of the Season.
Typical Hat or the Season.
The hat I have sketched this week is one of the new black velvet hats trimmed with jet black velvet and jet the leading materials of the season, where millinery is concerned. Many of the new toques are entirely covered with cut jet, and the greater number of the new hats show jet brims combined with supply crowns in black velvet. Black, white or navy blue moire is also very much used for toques and small hats, but black mirror velvet has only one rival, and that is jet.
Once more it is the fashion to trim hats lavishly with flowers. The best Parisian milliners are just now using small velvet flowers of different kinds for hat trimming. For example, purple velvet paisles and small red velvet roses on the crown of the same hat, or single blossoms of scarlet japonica combined with czar violets in dark purple velvet. Roses in all sizes are making their appearance on the early spring models, and as to ostrich feathers, they promise to be ubiquitous.
Fashionable Wrist Bags
The fashionable wrist bag is a new friend in an old material. Made of tapestry, it is small and flat, with an enameled chap form the fastening at the side. A short strap of moire provides a handle, and old silver mounts are also being brought forth from jewel caskets to form fastenings for some of the richly brocaded designs. The fittings of the 1914 wrist bag include a small fan of the same fabric as the bag.
Washable Tange Girdles
Have you seen the new washable tango girdles? They are made of mercerized poplin, embroidered in white or colors, if preferred. They are passed twice around the waist and finished with two embroidered ends which hang at the side.
potatoes are squeezed in a hydraulic press; the starch and nitrogenous matter are removed and the juice is bolled down until it is made five times as strong as when fresh; glycerin is added to preserve it.

Patience—And you say her love grew very cold?
Patience—Yes, indeed.
"What caused it?"
"Why, she kept him continually in hot water."
CAP and BELLS
OLD PETER WAS CONTENTED
Nothing Disturbed Serenity of Baseball Umpire Until Little Son Told Wife of Mistake.
Old Peter was feeling like one big, contented smile as he stood in the glorious sunshine, arrayed in a long coat of dazzling whiteness, unimpiring the first match of the season.
Looking up he noticed that the hands of the big clock on the pavilion had crept to ten minutes past twelve, and he realized that he was getting "peckish."
His right hand felt for the packet of sandwiches which his wife had insisted—much against his will—on putting in his pocket.
Salmon and shrimp paste plastered between slices of a new bread and butter make a pleasant meal, and old Peter felt bauner than ever.
But on a sudden his brow became clouded, for, walking calmly out into the sacred field, came his small son, Billy. Heedless of frowns and warnings, Bill walked up to his parent. "Mother says she wants them sandwiches back." "Back?" roared the indignant umbre. "I've eaten them half an hour ago!" "Then you must clean your boots with salmon and shrimp paste tomorrow! Mother put the polish in your sandwiches!"
Effective Substitute
Tourist—You have an unusually large largeage of corn under cultivation; don't the crows annoy you a great deal?
Farmer—Oh, not to any extent.
Tourist—That's peculiar, considering you have no scarecrows.
Farmer—Oh, well, you see, I'm out here a good part of the time myself.
—New York Mail.
No Longer Plain.
"Of course you can depend on the wisdom of the plain people?"
"I used to feel that way," replied the member of congress. "But after looking over the clothes and the dancing I can't help fearing that the people out home are getting rather fancy"
The Proper Procedure
"I asked the doctor the other day why an operation could be such a success when the patient died?" "What did he say?" "He gave me a look of scorn and said: 'Let's bury the subject.'"
PAWM SHOP
Greenbaum—I got a terrible bad coldt.
Greenburg—Vhy don't you take something for it?
Greenbaum—How much vill you gif me?
Mrs. Bacon—So you and your husband went to the musicale?
Mrs. Egbert—Oh, yes.
"Did you enjoy it?"
"Well, I didn't, but my husband seemed to; you know he can't hear hardly a thing."
Appropriate Action.
Shoestore Proprietor — So Miss Jones on that last trip did not select for us a dancing slipper of proper style?
Manager—No, sir. In selecting the slipper she did, she put her foot in it.
The Ideal
Patience—For keeping a woman's hands warm in a muff there has been invented a nickel cylinder which will retain the heat for several hours.
Patrice—What's the matter? Think alabar; men have gone out of town?
"A bunch of hot weather 'don'ta'."
"Do you try to observe them all?"
"No. I get my main amusement by memorizing and using them to scare my friends."
Natural Ojection
"Why won't that rich old curmudgeon let his young wife act in amateur theatricals?" "Because the last time she did everybody raved about the way she acted a wedge widow part."
