THIRTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 22 IN BETCH HOPE AND STRENGTH HARRY THAW LOSES IN SUPREME COURT Slayer of Stanford White Is Ordered Returned to New York Authorities by Decision of High Tribunal. Washington, D. C.—Harry K. Thaw lost his fight Monday in the supreme court, of the United States against being extradited from New Hamshire to the state of New York. In a brief decision by Justice Holmes, which was the unanimous decision of the court, it was held the celebrated prisoner should be turned over at once to the New York authorities to answer an indictment charging conspiracy to escape from Matewanay asylum for the criminal insane. Whether his escape from the asylum, while, as his counsel contended, he was insane, constituted a crime, and other questions, the court dismissed with the comment they could not enter into a habeas corpus proceeding and they were proper questions for the state of New York to decide. The celebrated Thaw case, the killing of Stanford White, was not before the supreme court. Merely the question of returning Thaw on the conspiracy indictment was up for decision. Next Move Not Forecasted. What other moves, if any, were open to Thaw's counsel to prevent his return to the state where he twice was tried and had made many futile efforts to be released, those familiar with the legal procedure were at a loss to forecast. Thaw may, however, remain in New Hampshire for 30 days unless his attorneys consent to his removal sooner. This results from the fact that the mandate of the supreme court, carrying out its decision, is not issued until 30 days from Dec. 21, unless the attorneys for both sides join in requesting an earlier issue of the order. Legal authorities who have followed the case pointed out that New York, with its custody of Thaw secure, might now direct his immediate trial for conspiracy or might annul the indictment and return the prisoner to the asylum, or it might return him to the asylum in disregard of the indictment. Made His Escape in 16 AD On Aug. 17, 1913, Harvey Thaw made his escape from 11 Massachusetts where he had been ground following his in his second trial for the murder of Stanley on June 19, 1913, created a wide sensation. Thaw was caught on the morning of Aug. 19 in Boston, was taken finally to Sherbrooke, where he was placed in jail. Thaw's lawyers continued to use every known legal expedient to have him released from the Canadian jail from that time to the first The Canadian authorities on Sept. 10, following a special order from the minister of the interior, conveyed Thaw a letter from Vera McCormick him. Four hours later he was arrested on a country road in New Hampshire and brought to Colebrook, a town in that state, where he was locked up. Resumed Fight for Freedom. In Hampshire, he raised his fight for freedom. In the meantime an indictment was brought against Thaw in New York state on the charge of conspiracy. But all efforts to extradite Thaw have up to now been unavailing. His trial was adjudicated by Aldrich, who granted a writ of habeas corpus, but kept Thaw in the custody of the court while allowing a guarded freedom until the matter should be passed to the judge. Thaw resided for a time in Concord, but later went to Manchester, where he leased a house, as he felt that he would be able to afford it. He lived like a New England country gentleman, taking automobile ride, going fishing, playing golf and indulging in any other outdoor sports that amuse him. He made his sojourn in New Hampshire enjoyable. Thaw was indicted for the murder of White on June 28, 1906, and his first trial began on Jan. 25, 1907. It was interrupted by a decision to have a lance commission examine the murderer. The commission reported their belle that they saw an unarmed man who killed the officer, had told before the interruption of the trial her story of intimacy with White, and Delphin M. Delmas, Thaw's counsel, had coined a new legal nomenclature—"demential Americana." United States Army Airman Killed. Los Angeles, Cal—Lieut. Frederich J. Goerstner, observer of United States army aeroplane No. 29, was drowned off Oceanside and Capt. Hollis G. Muller, pilot, was saved from the wreck, according to a telegram received by Aviator Glenn L. Martin of this city from United States army headquarters at San Diego. According to this telegram Muller and Goerstner, finding engine trouble, attempted to land at Oceanside. They lost control of the machine, it was stated, and it fell into the ocean.

THE GAZETTE HOBSON BILL FAILS TO PASS IN HOUSE Dry Measure Receives Majority, but Falls Short of Necessary Two-Thirds. OHIO SOLONS IN EIGHT-HOUR BATTLE Willis, Switzer and Fess Not Only Voted for Prohibition Amendment, but Attempted to Do What Missionary Work They Could. Washington, D. C.—With an actual majority of the members of the house who were present and voting favoring it, the Hobson amendment to the national constitution providing for nation-wide prohibition was defeated because it lacked G1 votes of the necessary two thirds majority of the house membership. The vote was 197 for and 189 against the resolution, which, if passed, would have submitted to the legislatures of the several states the proposition of amending the national constitution so as to shut off both the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in the United States and territory controlled by them. Forty-eight Members Absent. For eight Members Absent. There were 48 members of the house absent, but if they had all been present and had voted along the average lines laid out by the 387 who were present, prohibition still would have had an actual majority of the house. As it was, with the 48 absent, the dry fell only 20 votes shy of this majority. The final vote on the amendment came at 11 p. m. after a day marked by eight hours of impassioned oratory by champions of the amendment and itsoes, the latter led by Majority Leader Oscar W. Underwood and Minority Leader James R. Mann. Representative Richmond Pearson Hobson of Alabama, author of the amendment, was its principal champion in the eight hours of debate and at times his remarks grew personal almost to the point of being acrimonious. Vote Regarded as Moral Victory. The majority vote, however, is regarded as a tremendous moral victory and was received with a burst of acclamation by the temperance advocates packing the galleries to suffocation. There was no joy in the result for opponents of the resolution. The majority vote cast for the amendment means that the campaign for national prohibition scarcely has been checked. The hope of the liquor interests that they would bury the prohibition question for years to come was blasted. The vote means the campaign for the resolution to be submitted to the next congress will be carried into the politics of every state. It also strengthens the threat frequently made on the floor in the 8-hour debate that the issue will be forced into the presidential campaign of 1916. Party Lines Are Wiped Out. Party lines were wiped out in the struggle. Democratic Leader Underwood and Republican Leader Mann fought shoulder to shoulder at the head of the forces opposing the resolution. And when the vote came, of the 197 standing for the resolution, 114 were Democrats, 68 Republicans, 11 were Progressives and 4 were Independent Republicans. The Republican party of Ohio, so far as its representation of congress is concerned, stands solidly against the saloon and for nation-wide prohibition. Gov-elect Frank B. Willis and his two Republican colleagues from Ohio, R. M. Switzer and S. D. Fess, not only voted for the Hobson resolution but attempted to do what missionary work they could among members from other states. Willis "On Guard." While Gov.-elect Willis did not speak, he was on the floor of the house all day and night "on guard," as he said. He remained on the floor ready, as he announced, to rise to the defense of his own purpose to vote for prohibition and to answer any fling that might be made in connection with the recent state-wide vote in Ohio. No one attempted to hackle the governor-elect and so he remained silent and simply contented himself with listening to the fervid oratory. The galleries were watching for the vote of Gov.-elect Willis, and when with a booming voice he voted for the resolution there was a burst of applause. For the most part the vote was taken in silence, many of the members regarding it as fatal to their future political chances. Representative Fess of Yellow Springs, however, in a 10-minute speech, rose to answer the vitriolic denunciation of prohibition by Representative William Gordon, Democrat of Cleveland. Gordon and Fess were the only members of the Ohio delegation participating in the debate. Representative Fess caused something of a commotion by repudiating the leadership of Representative Mann, Republican floor leader. Rare Coin Expert Dies. Springfield, O.—Leander H. Fahnestock, a rare coin collector and pioneer bookbinder of Springfield, died at his home here, following a stroke of paralysis. He was considered an authority on the collection value of old United States coins. He was 71 and was a Civil war veteran. Mr. Fahnestock was one of the founders of the Clark County Historical society and the rooms of that organization contain many of his rare coins and war relics. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN. What Thomas L. Brooks Has Accompanied In Frankfort, Ky. Frankfort, Ky.—One of the most prominent and successful Negro contractors and builders of the south is Mr. Thomas L. Brooks of this city, Mr. Brooks is a native of Virginia, but has spent the greater part of his life in Kentucky, having lived here for over thirty-two years. While he has contracted and built extensively throughout eastern Kentucky, it has been in Frankfort that he has made his chief mark. Some of the most beautiful and costly edifices, scattered all over the capital city and with values running up into the thousands, are the products of his brain and skill. It can also be truthfully stated that fully 90 per cent of his work has been for white people and against the sharp opposition of white competitors. Over one-half of the residences of the celebrated Watson court, the most exclusive and handsome section of Frankfort, were built by Mr. Brooks. The Columbia theater, a $15,000 structure and the leading and most attractive moving picture theater of the city, is also his work. The auditorium and the trades building of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial institute, which were erected at a cost of $30,000, were also contracted for and built by this able contractor. It is an object of pride that both of these handsome stone buildings were built exclusively by Negro labor. The $10,000 Old Fellows building for our people and the $25,000 Baptist church were also erected under Mr. Brooks' immediate supervision. He has a high standing among the banks and business men of Frankfurt, has accumulated much valuable property and his word is accepted as readily as most men's bond. He is held in the very highest esteem by both races and is easily one of the most popular men in the capital city. He takes high rank as a churchman, being one of the most widely known Baptist laymen in Kentucky. He has been a Sunday school superintendent for twenty years, a trustee for sixteen years, a deacon for four years and was church clerk for over four years. Mr. Brooks is also a prominent secret society man. He has been secretary of the Capital City lodge of Odd Fellows for twenty-four years, has been frequently a delegate to the B. M. C, and has served his state most acceptably as grand master. He was the pioneer advocate of Negro fraternal insurance in Kentucky, having submitted a plan for same to the Kentucky grand lodge of Odd Fellows over twenty-two years ago. This is the first record of any suggestion or attempt at endowment in any colored grand lodge in Kentucky. He also holds a high official position in the Masons, Knights of Pythias and United Brothers of Friendship and is a member of the Union Benevolent society and the Mosaic Templars of America. He possesses an affable temperament, upright life and high Christian character, and, with an intense interest in the welfare and advancement of his people, he takes keen interest in civic affairs and is with a public spirited citizen, a conservative and courageous leader of his race. ROUND TABLE CONFERENCE. Philadelphia Organization Takes Up Problem of Industrial Conditions. The recent meeting of the Round Table Conference held in Philadelphia for the purpose of improving the industrial condition of Afro-Americans was a most important gathering. The conference is bringing its influence to bear on labor organizations in that it is urging upon the various trade unions the necessity and also the fairness of giving the colored man a chance to work at such employment in skilled labor as his ability warrants. The Armstrong association has done much in this direction and has opened up a somewhat broader field for employment of different kinds. Among the speakers at the conference and their subjects were Mr. A. F. Manley, a contractor, who spoke on the "Industrial Situation In Philadelphia;" J. Bruce Ryall, on the "Present Condition of the Colored Man and the Outlook;" "Private Education" was discussed by J. R. P. Brock. Housing conditions and other timely topics were also discussed, and an active campaign was launched to get results along the lines indicated. The conference emphasized the fact that there are 00,000 colored people in Philadelphia and that the efforts of many of this number in the past to get employment commensurate with their ability and aspirations have not met with as much success as conditions justify. It also called attention to the large amount which the colored people spend for clothing and food with white people alone, to say nothing of what they spend with their own race in business and the professions. A sentiment for more just and friendly relations between the races was one of the very encouraging features of the conference. Miss Iva Marshall is Highly Honored. Miss Iva Marshall, a pupil in Grade A, girls' high school, in Brooklyn, was recently elected to membership in the Arista, an organization composed of pupils of the highest rank in scholarship. Miss Marshall is the first colored girl ever elected to membership in the Arista, not because there have not been others eligible, but because no colored girl in the past has received the required number of votes. Miss Marshall has been an officer in some one of her classes ever since she entered the high school FINE RECORD OF PETER H. FISHER Has Proved His Worth In Many Good Movements. NATIVE OF OLD DOMINION. Widely Known Churchman, Benevolent and Secret Society Leader Honored by Mammoth New York Concern With which He Has Been Concerned For Quarter of a Century. Brooklyn.—This city has a large number of business and professional men and others who hold positions of trust and much responsibility with business concerns of great influence. In each class their advancement has been the result of their own energies, efficiency, honesty and reliability. In the latter class is found Peter H. Fisher, who has been in the employ of the Riker & Hegeman company store No. 2 in this city for the past twenty-five years. Mr. Fisher is a native of Petersburg, Va. He came to Brooklyn when quite young. He is married and resides with his family at 579 Herkimer street. He has made a most admirable record in every line of activity in which he has engaged. In the religious, secret and benevolent society circles of this city he is well and favourably known. He is the faithful and highly esteemed clerk of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, which position he, has held for nearly thirty years. He is one of the pioneer members of Alpha lodge 1381, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and was for many years its treasurer. Alpha lodge is said to be one of the wealthiest lodges of the order in this section of the country. It owes real estate which is valued at many thousand dollars PETER H. FISHER. and numbers in its membership many of Brooklyn's most progressive men. For a number of years Alpha lodge owned the property at 129 Nassau street, which it sold to the city to good advantage to make way for the Manhattan bridge across the East river. Mr. Fisher is one of the founders of the Society of the Sons of Virginia, a large and influential mutual benefit organization in this city composed of men born in Virginia or the sons of native born Virginians. He was the society's first president, serving for two consecutive years. He was nominated for a third term, but refused to accept the honor. However, he has since served as president and has held the position of financial secretary for the past two years. With such a record of activities as the foregoing to his credit those who know Mr. Fisher well are not surprised at the good name which he has made at the Riker store or at what the Riker Record says of him under his cut in its September issue in praise of his twenty-five years' service as a Riker employee. Under the caption "Diligent In Business" the Record says in part: it is not often in these modern days we hear of a man faithful to the same employment for twenty-five years, and when we learn of one who has for a quarter of a century rendered faithful, loyal and diligent service we feel that such service should be recognized. Peter H. Fisher, employed at store No. 2, has just completed his twenty-fifth year of continuous service in the Riker employ. Both Mr. Harlowe, his district manager, and those store managers for whom he has worked have nothing but what is good to say of Mr. Fisher. "We are genuinely delighted to be able to congratulate this loyal Riker representative on his twenty-five years of service, and we feel sure that every Record reader will join with us in wishing for him many more happy and prosperous years of congenial service." Music School Settlement's New Home. The Society of the Music School Settlement, in New York, of which Elbridge L. Adams is president, is now located in its new quarters on One Hundred and Thirty-first street. J. Rosamond Johnson, the well known composer, has been appointed musical supervisor. RACE ABSORPTION THEORY. Amalgamation Is on the Increase, Says Chicago University Professor. Chicago — in a recent address delivered at the Grace Methodist Episcopal church in this city Dr. George B. Foster, professor at the University of Chicago, gave some very interesting views on the race question. He says in the final summing up after thousands of years there will be no pure white race in America, nor will there be a black race. “Man has been thought of in many ways throughout the ages,” he explained. “He has been considered an angel by some, an intellect by others, and nowadays they are coming to think of him as a toter engaged in performing the work of the world. To him there can be no sharp distinctions of race and color. “For this reason the idea, unpopular, to be sure, but still indicated by the facts, that the races in America are amalgamating is not unwelcome to many thinkers. Let me give you an example: A year ago at a public gathering I addressed an audience which was one-third unquestionably Negro, another third unquestionably white and the rest somewhere in between. "That simply goes to show that we are now part way along in the process, which I do not hesitate to say will be accomplished in time. The black race is to be absorbed. In fact, the thing will not be so repellent in a few hundred years as it is now," he said. "As it is, those who say the relation between whites and blacks is a symptom of mental defect on the part of the whites fail entirely to consider that times without number the selions of our best southern families have shown signs of such degeneracy. "Is it not more reasonable to expect that as time goes on the more cultured blacks will more or less naturally intermingle with the least cultured whites in the south until eventually the whole process will have been completed and our race will have absorbed the other? Surely there is every reason to believe that that condition will result." Professor Foster declared that all the solutions to the Negro problem which have been offered thus far are inadequate. He scored especially the theory of geographical segregation. UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DODGES DECISION. Renders Opinion Only In the Oklahoma Jimcrow Car Controversy. New York. Once more the United States supreme court begs the question in an important case in which the constitutional rights of citizens of the United States are coequal, says N. Barnett Dodson in commenting on the decision of the court in the Oklahoma separate car case recently argued before that high tribunal by Attorney William Harrison of Oklahoma City, Okla. In disposing of the case for the time being the majority of the supreme court on Monday, Nov. 30, joined in an opinion that the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law proviso permitting railroads to furnish sleeping, dining and chair car accommodations only to the white race—the luxury clause—was unconstitutional, but because of imperfections in the petition on which the case reached the courts no decree to that effect was entered. Five Negroes, contending that the entire law was unconstitutional, sought an injunction to restrain five railroads in Oklahoma from enforcing it. The Oklahoma federal court dismissed the petition, holding the law constitutional. The majority of the court affirmed the dismissal because the Negroes had not shown that they had applied to the railroads for accommodations under the law or that the railroads had notified them that accommodations would be refused to them. The majority, through Justice Hughes, stated, however, that they could not agree with the lower court that the proviso as to sleeping, dining and chair cars was constitutional. A minority, consisting of Chief Justice White and Justice Holmes, Lamar and McReynolds, concurred merely in the order of affirmance, but expressed no views on the constitutional question. In the opinion by the majority Justice Hughes said that previous decisions that laws for separate coaches for the two races were constitutional were not questioned, adding: "Substantial equality of treatment of persons traveling under like conditions cannot be denied." Pittsburgh Clubwomen Are Active. The City Federation of Women's clubs of Pittsburgh held a largely attended meeting at the Warren Method Episcopal church on Friday evening, Dec. 4. Much important business was transacted and plans for the winter work of the general organization were perfected Mrs. A. G. Gantt, president of the federation, announced that Mrs. Mary R. Talbert of Buffalo, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's clubs, would lecture under the auspices of the city federation at St. James' A. M. E. church on Thursday evening, Dec. 10. Head of Press Association Goes South Melvin J. Chisum of Baltimore, president of the National Negro Press association, began a tour of parts of the south and southwest in the interest of the association on Tuesday, Dec. 1. President Chisum will not return to Baltimore until Christmas. He will devote much time to the various matters to be decided upon at the midwinter meeting, which is to be held in Nasbville, Tenn., in February. PORTUGALONVERGE OF DECLARING WAR Deputies Vote Favorably On Preparations Being Made to Combat Germans. HEAR TEUTONS ATTACK POSSESSIONS Petrograd, Berlin and France Make Reports on Progress of Their Respective Armies in Eastern and Western War Areas. London, Eng.-Portugal is on the verge of entering the European war as kingland's ally, according to dispatches from Lisbon. The dispatches say the Portuguese chamber of deputies voted favorably on preparations being made to enter the conflict against Germany. Hear of German Attacks. The dispatches say the chamber's vote tending toward war was taken immediately after announcement by the colonial secretary of another attack by the Germans upon the Portuguese province of Angola. Repeated German attacks are alleged by the Portuguese government to have been made on the Portuguese African possession. The first charges of invasion made by Portugal were denied by Germany. Later reports from Lisbon gave details of the engagements resulting from the invasion and the casualties. The latest attack was announced by the colonial minister before the chamber. The garrison at Naillill was attacked by the German force, the minister stated. The Portuguese, outnumbered, withdrew in order to obtain reinforcements for a counter attack. Russians and Teutons Grip. While the entry of another nation in the great war impended Wednesday, the 80-mile battle line in Russian Poland to the west of Warsaw, where the Germans and Russians are at grips on the banks of the Bzura, Rawka and Pilica rivers, continued to be the scene of the most desperate fighting in either the eastern of western arenas of the war, but without either side gaining any decided advantage. Large bodies of Russian troops are moving toward Cracow, the Galician stronghold, from the north and east. An important battle apparently is developing in southwestern Poland, near Cracow. Germans Not Relaxing Efforts While the Germans are not relaxing their efforts along the line from Scohacewz to Skierniewice in the movement toward Warsaw, the greatest activity was in the vicinity of Miechow and Andriew, immediately northeast of Cracow. The Russians have moved back to positions along the left bank of the Nida river, near its junction with the Vistula, 30 miles east of Cracow. The objective of the Austro-German forces in this vicinity appears to be Kielce. Their front extends about 70 miles from the right bank of the Nida. Their strength is estimated at 8 to 10 army corps (320,000 to 400,000 men). Russians Seeking to Close In. The Russians are in force along the Pilica river, 20 miles southeast of Pitlekrow. The gap between that position and the Nida river is occupied by five divisions of German cavalry. The two Russian armies are seeking to close in, moving in the direction of Opole, near the latter point in vicinity of the town of Sheddboro, an Austrian force was defeated several days ago, losing 1,000 men and 17 officers. It is the opinion of Russian military critics that the action in this territory is intended by the Germans to draw away the Russians from the vicinity of Cracow by threatening their communications. Teuton Attack Is Reported. A report from the German army headquarters in the field states a German attack has been made in the eastern war arena, but whether the operations were directed against the Russian rear or main line is not stated. "The situation in Galicia," the report says, "has cleared. The Russians are holding the east bank of the Dunajec river to Tuchow (a town just south of Tarnow). Another Russian line extends to the southeast of Krosno (on the railroad between Jaslo and Sanok). Heavy fighting is going on at both Tuchow and Krosno and also at Bupkow pass." French Report Slight Progress. Slayer Wins Pardon Columbus, O.-T William Bayliss, who killed his wife in a jealous rage seven years ago, Gov. James M. Cox Wednesday gave the Christmas pardon. Bayliss was convicted of murder in the first degree by the common pleas court of Franklin county at the March (1908) term and sentenced by that court to life imprisonment in the Ohio penitentiary. For three years he has been driving the coach for the warden and his family, going to all parts of the city, quite often alone. DE MIDNIGHT THE LIGHTS MISS MAY WHEELER VEST C.

City contempora- ries, the membership of the Ohio Re- publican Executive Committee granted “Buckeye” Afro-Americans, “is but an ‘empty honor”. “This has been true for years, and particularly so in recent years. According to some of the daily papers, of Tuesday, the Leo M. Frank case is to be taken to the U. S. Supreme Court on habeas corpus proceedings, in another effort to secure him a new trial. We do not believe that this effort will be any more successful than were the recent ones to get two U. 8. Supreme Court justices, one (Lamar) from Georgia, to have the court con- aitee the case. According to Editor Weidenthal of the Jewish Independent, Gov. Franklin Moses of South Carolina, was not a Jew because he accepted the religion of his niother, a gentile. His father was a Jew. We maintain that Gov. Moses was a Jew from both legal and general viewpoints, although, possibly, not so regarded by religious Jews, ‘Much the same condition, in a way, obtains in the case of Rufus L. Perry whose portrait will be found elsewhere in The Gazette, today. He became & Jew, in the mater of religion, when he embraced the Jewish faith. This, however, does not change his race con- nection or the fact that he is not only Known as a “Nogro, Colored man, or Afro-American” (whichever you choose), but is one from legal, racial and general viewpoints. President Wilson's recent talk to the “University Commission on Southern Race Questions”, made up of repre- sentatives of eleven southern colleges, ‘was intended for the consumption of the white public. “Fe threw a shoe” when the ‘Trotter delegation called ‘on him recently and is trying to fool the white public into believing that he is friendly disposed toward our peo: ple. He knows that it is useless to try to fool the sane of our people any longer. There are those of us, it ts true, whom he never fooled with his pre-election “bunk” hecause we never lost sight of the fact that he was and is a southerner. There is one thing that is peculiarly inherent with the average intelligent southern person, (white), male and female, and it Is ‘this—they can be the soul of honor and truthfulness in all matters until they reach the Afro-American and his affairs, and then—it is different, vastly 0. Dr, Brough of the University of Ar- Kansas, chairman of the Commission, agrees with Wilson as to segregation in the government departments at Washington; endorses that of railway and street cars, and in cities of the south; and advocates industrial edu- cation for southern Afro-Americans, Bnough said! GEN. “PANCHO” VILLA RIGHT. ‘The Hon. John ‘Lind, who was Pres: ident Wilson's special ‘representative to Mexico for some mouths, this year, made a careful study of conditions ex- sting there snd the causes of the same. Of the basic cause of the troubles of that country, he says: ‘The inhabitants of Mexico are es- sentially agricultural, but they have heen deprived of the land. Probably Jess than 5 per cent of the families ‘own their homes. One of the first acts of the Spanish conqueror was to dis- tribute the arable Tands of the people among his Meutenants. Some small communities in the remote sections, or such as occupied least desirabie land, Were loft undisturbed. But as a whole the nation was mado homeless and has continued so to the present doy. This has been, and will be, the ease of revolts until the question is settled.” ‘Time and again has Gen. Villa called attention to this very fact and invariably insisted that the land ques-/ tion must be settied, and settled right, by this Mexican war or there will be na end'rig of the same. All of which but makes clearer the fact that whether he has education or not, the man knows what he is fighting for, and incidentally, it explains the won- dertal hold on the masses of the peo-| ple of Mexico he has maintained al- most from the very beginning of the war. aa ‘THE LEO M. FRANK CASE. In tholr efforts to save his life, cer- tain newspapers and — maxazines (white) of the country, are. vainiy trylog $0 mske something of a martyr of Leo M. Frank, convicted of the pecet brute) murder (after outrage) of h poor 14-year-old Irish girl who was | employed in an Atlanta, Ga., factory of which he was superintendent. Mary Phagan, the child, was murdered last April, and the body concealed in the basement of the factory. Frank was’ the last person known to have seen. the girl before her death, During the trial, race prejudice was appealed to in an effort to save his life by endeay- oring to shift the crime to the shoul- ders of an Afro-American employe, of the factory, whom Frank used in va- rious ways. This failed; so now the country is being “informed”, by these same newspapers and magazines, that Prejudice (against the Jew) secured Frank’s conviction, ‘They may fool some people with such “bunk”, but not our people because they know the south, its courts, ete., too well for that. “Repeated efforts to give Frank @ new trial have failed. ‘The state su- preme court has no authority to re- verse a capital case where no error of Jaw was committed. Two justices of the U. 8. supreme court have refused to interfere on the ground of lack of Jurisdiction. Apparently, the only chance to save his life, rests in the effort now being made by said news- papers and magazines (who want to try the case) to secure an “eleventh: hour intervention” from the governor of Georgia. ‘They are pronouncing the trial of Frank “a farce”, and saying that the “Judge and jury feared tor their lives", ete. A very poor way to Ko after what they are seeking. Gov. John M. Slayton and the eminent ju rists of that state, on the U. S. Su preme Court bench and in Georsia will hardly relish that kind of eit cism or abuse, or whatever they may please to term it. We are not of those who believe that Frank did not receive 4 fair trial; that he is innocent and that prejudice ((against the Jew) se cured his conviction; that “judge and Jury feared for thelr lives”, ete., and We are satisfied that Gov, Slayton is of the same mind in this case. He 1 “on the ground”, knows the situation thoroughly and, unless he is afraid o' the aforementioned “newspapers and magazines"—something we do not think at all probable—he will suppor the courts of his state and the U. 8 Supreme Court Justices, one fron Georgia, who were appealed to, in this case, in vain, and refuse to grant the “eleventh-hour intervention” thes have been so industriously working [u public. sentiment for, for. son wicks = hie’ eetion be Gane! WICKERSHAM VS. WILLIAMS.

Lewls, Esq., a member of the race, in bis fight with the American Bar As- sociation when it endeavored to oust him from membership in that body, was present at the banquet and during the course of his speech replied to Williams’ antiquated “bunk” as. fol- lows: “I do not believe that this problem will ever be solved by the total dis- franchisement for all time of 10,000,- 000 of our citizens. No people can thrive and advance if, side by side ‘and working with them, are 10,000,000 who are disfranchised trom all voice in government.

Wiekersham’s frank, fearless and allsatisfying reply, is the fact that it was actuolly warmly applanded, We are told that but for the great N.

One of the Most interesting Figures, in the East, Among Our People— Embraced the Jewish Faith a Year or So Ago—-A Schol- ar and a Leading aciecee |, The subject of this sketch was born ‘in Brooklyn, N, Y., May 26, 1872, the son of Rufus Lewis and’ Charlotte Handy Perry. The elder Perry was a Baptist minister and enjoyed some dis- tinction as a scholar and a student. ‘He was a master of Sanskrit and the author of a work known by the name ‘of “Cushite,” which sought to prove ‘that the original man was a Negro and ‘that the Egyptians derived from this source. His theory was well worked out and has been accepted as one of the possible avenues for tracing man’s early origin. With the heritage of a fine intelligence and guided by a care- ful hand, young Perry soon began to exhibit traits which forecast his fu: ture attainments. At an early age he mastered the rudiments of the classics and under the teaching of a private tutor became thoroughly proficient in ‘scholarship. As a young man he en- tered New. York University and was ‘graduated in 1891, with an LL. B., and ‘the further distinction of class orator. Immediately after leaving college, a ‘full fledged attorney, he entered upon practice In New York, until '94, when he went to Brooklyn, where he has since resided. In this period he has become especially well known as coun- sel in murder cases, of which he has defended more than one hundred, with a record of but three capital’ sen- tences and twenty-five exonerations. His general practice has carried him into all departments of the law and he Is regarded as one of the able mem- bers of the New York bar. Mr. Perry has devoted considerable attention to economic matters and in the course of theso pursuits hos written a work on Haytien polities, known as “La Situa- Mon Actuelle en Haiti” and “L'Honune Fapres la Sctence et le Talmud,” a discussicn on the ce’entific phases of the Telmud. He is als the author of “The Black Man in History,” and p large work cn Subreeation. As a stv. dont ef Greak end Latin, it is doubtt if there are many ba'ter grounded scholars in the United States. His of. clency in this direction fs sich as to enable him to read the most encient works, far bofcre the Chrisiian ora. He is Ukewise proficient in Sanskrit and speaks French in the most fluent manner, also writing In that tongue. with the greatest ease. He has writ fen for the leading French Journals mn many subjects, his work on Halt, being published complet in the Cour: ler des Etats-Unis. Bat his efforts nave not been confined purely to the scholastical, as he is an amateur paint- ar with a thorough artistic grasp of he subject and has produced several works of merit.

He won nine of the rounds, six were Wills' while the other five were even. Both tried desperately for knockouts. In the fifteenth McVey came closer to a knockout than at any other time in the fight. After Wills had hooked with his right, McVey sent him reeling to the ropes with a terrific left hook to the jaw and the crowd rose from their feet. Wills fell into a rope, even and saved himself.

A White Friend of the Race Comments on His "Fine Sentiments" and "Gib Utterances," and Offers Pertinent Suggestions President Wilson Sees America of Future. Extract from President Wilson's Independence Day address at Philadelphia: "And my dream is this, that as the years go on and the world knows more and more of America, it also will bring out this foundation of youth and renewal, that it will also turn to America for those moral inspirations that lie at the base of human freedom; it will never fear. America unless it finds itself engaged in some enterprise inconsistent with the rights of humanity; that America will come to that day when all shall she puts human rights above all other rights and that her flag is the flag not only of America but the flag of humanity. "What other great people, I ask, has devoted itself to this exalted ideal? To what other nation in the world can you look for injustice, which whole body politic when men anywhere are fighting for their rights?" Referring to the above extract of the "great," or more correctly speaking, big (large) speech of the former President of Princeton College, whom Theodore "Brownsville" Roosevelt's belt placed in the presidential chair, allow an humble American citizen, whose aspensions and ideals are to the best of his abilities, humane in their essence, to suggest that His Excellency, before he runs off more of these "fine" sentiments and gib utterances, got acquainted with the real condiment, our own republic, which hesitated frequently a nature to make us hesitate before we offer our opinions to others in ideals of accomplishments as models for them to follow. Let Mr. Wilson study the conditions in several states of the Union, east, central, west, most particularly south; let him take cognizance of, say conditions of neonage, convict-cruelties, often horrible beyond belief, yet actually true! of disfranchisements, subtile and hypocritical to a nausicing degree. Let him get, among others, the continental" a monthly published in the Philadelphia and Chicago in Prabhytarian, or Mr. Wilson's own denomination, or the "Literary Digest" of June 20, where he will find a lengthy description of the devilish cruel treatment of convicts, in his beloved "southern" states; let him read in the Chicago Journal, a democratic paper, a strong protest against the cruel punishment of Negroes in the south, guilty of small pilfering, and to take to heart the following from a sermon of the Rev John Gardner, and then to use a popular phrase, let him "put up" or "shut up. The people will get up" or later, sometimes, earlier or later, and then they rate his cant at what it is worth—that is, as "high-faluting" phrases, Dr. John Gardner, pastor of the New England Congregational Church, Chicago, in a sermon, recently, said: "When, according to others, justice is sold for a bribe and there is a fixed schedule of charges for defacting the ends of the law; when it has taken twenty years for the conscience to awake to the fact that a poor Negro was stealing 50 cents, it is manifest that the 'superior person' is numerically strong in this land of liberty. America is the world's pioneer—let her not be so eager in clearing new trails that she herget her duty to establish justice in the earth. The superior person was the bane of the blackened barriers between himself and the illiterate poor whom he imagined not "Jacob Gebher." IS SHE COLORED OR WHITE? The Wife of a Prominent Society Man —Exports Cannot Tell—Fights Husband's Divorce Action. Detroit, Mich.—More than a year ago Alma Wade was married to Arthur Little, son of Dr. John S. Little, one of the most prominent physicians in Detroit. Two months ago she was told by her husband that he could live with her no longer made by her husband in divorce proceeding. Two months ago, is that his golden-haired blonde with beautiful gray eyes, was the daughter of Mrs. F. Jefferson, matron of a railroad station in Cincinnati and a quadroom. He claims to have visited Mrs. Jefferson and secured affidavits from her and other members of her family that Mrs. Little is the daughter of Thaddeus Wade and herself. Mrs. Little is pretty, educated and soon became popular in society here. She belonged to numerous clubs and entertained in style. Finally one day Little found in an old pocketbook of his wife a receipt telling how to change a black woman to a white woman, and signed it to Mrs. Jefferson's name and to see in Cincinnati to see the Cincinnati woman with the result stated above. His wife in the meantime has had the police in Denver searching the records to find where, twenty-six years ago, her real parents gave her to Mrs. Jefferson, who was at that time married to Wade. She says she was always told that her parents were white and had been in Cincinnati lived with Mrs. Jefferson she was treated as a nurse would a white child; that she was sent to the best schools and graduated from a prominent music conservatory in Denver. Then the Mr. and Mrs. Wade left her in Denver, and she made her own living until she married Little. Prof. R. E. Case, one of the leading physiologists in America, told her that she might be a white woman but after every event she he too refused to use an affidavit to her origin. Detroit society is thoroughly arused over the case and is rallying to the support of the unhappy woman. The Southern Society of N. Y. City. By using its influence to secure places for Southern writers on the great dailies here, it at one time threatened to turn almost the whole New York press bitterly against us. For a while it published an anti-Negro pamphlet which was distributed in the seats of the theatres; its members have made it a business to register an objection to the presence of Negroes in hotels, restaurants and places of amusement, and in various other ways it has striven to keep alive a prejudice which would naturally subside in a cosmopolitan as New York. Of course, there are fair-minded, generous people who belong to the Southern Society, who are affiliated with it for purely social purposes, but that, in no way, effects these aims of the organization.-Jas. W. Johnson in N. Y. Age.

Dr. R. C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Quarterly Review, does not see much hope for the New York Negro as a factor in the race uplift. He says, "The Negroes of New York City are a big mass but they cannot be mobilized—they follow no leadership. They are well-dressed, have education and money, but they are not together." It is the avowed purpose and determination of the Southern people, regardless of what a negligible minority among them may think, to force the Negro in this country into a permanently secondary civil and political state.

Method of Preparation Carefully Given by an Expert Who Knows. Just How It Should Be Put Te Pein tac Beet Recdalie: One of the ficest little things, for: tne expert housewife to know is how to take certain portions of flour, exes and sugar and whip them swiftly into the shape of sponge cake. 15 there any man, woman or child of right mind who does not lke a properly baked “sponge cake?” Echo answers none, An old hand furnished the Star with the necessary method in careful detail. Here tt is: ‘Tho proper requisites for cake bak- ing are some deep, round-bottomed bowls for mixing, one to be large enough to hold entire mixture when dene; a regulation graded one+halt- pint measuring cup, standard tea and tablespoon, a good perforated mixing spoon, flat egg whip and revolving egg beater. ‘Tho correct molds for cake are so constructed that they require no greas- Ing; a German “spring form” or those with removabie slides where a knife can be slipped in to cut out the cake are the best; if round molds are used select those with a tube in center: they hold up the delicate mixture white ralsing and cut more evenly. The object of ungreased molds is twofold. It is decidedly cleaner, and cake baked that way is more delicate. Asvthe batter rises it clings to sides and tube and stays there urtil cut out, while a greased mold lets cake slide down and sag even during the baking. The egg cakes should be In- verted with the mold as soon as taken from the oven and allowed to hang while cooling; thfs stretches the cake and increases it materially in size. If mold has no projections for that purpose set rim on threo cups or rest center tube on a Mason Jar; this will raise it from level of table and let air circulate freely around cake while cooling, When whipping whites for cakes al- ways use a flat egg whip and use it with long even stroke; this Incloses afr and makes cake light; on the other ‘hand, for feings or meringue a revolv- ing egg beater should be used, as a close-grained consistency is desired for that purpose. When told to fold in sugar oF flour use a flat whip or spoon and combine material with a dipping motion, never beat, whip or stir at that stage, or cake will be tough. ‘The care of these light cakes while baking can he summed up a8 follows: The first ten’ to twenty minutes the heat should be moderate, the gage must rise slowly to top offan without browning, then heat,gm he ineratsed.

Take from oven, carefully invert the mold, being car ful that no draft can strike it, and let ‘stand until cold, When cake has been cut from mold place Inverted on flat plate, rub off the little loose furry particles that iaay be on sides and top, then cake is ready for leing. ‘As a last caution to the Inexperi enced cook let me say never substi- tute other material for that called for in these recipes; especially does this apply to the flour, Pastry flour is so superior to the “spring wheat” for all cakes and pastry that the small dif. ference in price should not be con- sidered. Granulated sugar must be fine grained, and be sure to note the difference in “powder and contection- er's sugar’—the former is cxtremely fine grained and used in baking, while the latter is smooth like starch and s best for icing, ete—Washington Star.

Poor cooking, unwarranted purchases and unwise planning contribute to this extravagance. ‘The unnecessary waste should be ellminated by the use of good cook book and wiser plan- ring as to the amounts needed and in- seriedncl cated Refriaerater Hint. To avoid buying ice in winter, the refrigerator should be kept chilled by this plan: Set a pail of water out- doors te hecome ice cold. Put the pall in tly. ‘ce compartment of the refrig- erator. In ease the water should freeze solid, place a small stick in it. The ice will crack and rise up around the stick instead of bursting the ves- sel.
