IN VIRTU VIRTUS SATURDIUS MUNITIONS PLOT CASE STRENGTHENS Actions Against Foreign Commerce Coma Undar Sherman Anti-Trust Laws. Which Declares Archibald Knew the Nature of Documents Which He Carried With Him When Arrested in England..... Washington, D. C.—A. Bruce Bice laski, chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, left Tuesday for New York, where he will confer with John Rathon, editor of the Providence (R. I.) Journal, concerning the disclosures made by Dr. Joseph F. Goricar, former Austrian consul in this country. It is understood the department has been assured by Mr. Rathon that it will be put in personal touch with Dr. Goricar. Before Mr. Blehaski returns to Washington he will probably hold a conference with the former consul. It was stated at the department that the whereabouts of Dr. Goricar are known. Interested in Goricar's Statement. The department of justice is particularly interested in the portion of the recent statement by Dr. Goricar, which declared that James F. J. Archibald was in the office of Consul. General Tom Huber when former Ambassador Dumbrell's papers, which Archibald attempted to carry abroad, were prepared for him, and that consequently he knew the nature of the documents. There were strong intimations by a high official of the department of justice that the case against certain diplomatic and 'consular officials, accredited, to this country is strengthening day by day. The opinion is expressed that while the acts which Fay and his assocates attempted to commit 'were of Fra x Melloy, now under indictment in New York, the case of the latter is of greater importance in its ramifications as. I was said at the department of justice that no report concerning the confession of Fay has arrived. Doubt was expressed as to whether Fay would disclose the names of the men involved in the case, he had not attempt was made to discredit the reports that a confession had been extracted from the prisoner. A Broader Standpoint. At the state department, there are indications that arrangements have been made to deal with the whole bomb and munitions plot question from a much broader standpoint than heretofore. It is held by legal advisers there that plots against munitions plants engaged in foreign commerce or commerce between the states comes under the Sherman anti-trust laws and that persons attempting to interfere with their business or injure their property may be prosecuted for conspiracy in restraint of trade. State department officials say the new revelations concerning the alleged actions of Consul General Nubar Nuber of the U.S. Embassy in Cobbe before that department and will not be passed upon there until after a full report from the department of justice, following the investigations that are now under way. Secret agents of the department of justice are now at work on every angle of the case. NOTED STOCKMAN DIES NOTED STOCKMAN DIES THE BEST KNOWN BREEDER OF DRAUGHT HORSES IN U. S. DEAD AT NEWARK.

Skinner, American consul general at London, has been in Washington conferring with government officials on the matter of commercial differences between the United States and China. It has been rumored that Mr. Skinner will not return to his post in London. COURTSHIP TOO LONG TO SUIT OHIO WOMAN Findlay, O., — Because, he refused to marry the woman whose company he had monopolized for 12 years, Norris H. Powell, 44, lifes dying in his home near Benton Ridge with a bullet through his lungs and Miss Ada Warner, 40, is thought to be dying from self-inflicted razor wounds in the home of her parents, just a half mile down' the road. Powell is a wealthy farmer and lived alone on his farm just outside of Benton Ridge. Miss Warner is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Warmer, who also highly respected farm owners. It was 12 years ago that Powell first began to pay attention to the comely daughter of his neighbor. Last Wednesday night Powell was awakened by a light in his room, and standing by his bed with a revolver in her hand was Miss Warner. She demanded that he get up and dress and go at once with her and be married. He refused. She insisted, and he, after a struggle, fled from the house and back to bed. Powell thought his 12-year courtship of Miss Warner had ended. He little dreamed she would again enter his home. So he was started Saturday midnight when he awakened and again saw her standing beside his bed. Miss Warner again asked Powell to marry her. She demanded that he go with her to a minister. "I can't do it and I won't do it," he cried as he sprang out of bed. He ran to the house and got assistance to call her and get assistance, but she had disconnected the wires before he had awakened. He turned and grappled with her for the possession of the revolver, but she discharged it against his body. The bullet penetrated a lung. Powell broke away and ran to escape from the enraged woman. He made his way to the home of his neighbor, James Wittenmeyer, where he fell unconscious. Warner ran to her own home, where she slashed her throat with a razor. Doctors took 12 stitches to close the wound. MAY CLOSE 100 BARS LICENSE BOARD MAY SHUT UP COLUMBUS'S SALOONS BECAUSE OF NON-PAYMENT.

GREAT PROMOTER OF EDUCATION BENEFACTOR OF THE NATION Influential Columbia University Instructor Payo a Wonderful Tribute to Man Who Led Movement For Co-ordinating Organizations For Education in the South—Beloved by Both Races. BY TALGOTT WILLIAMS. The auditorium to be erected at Hampton institute, Hatton, Va., in memory of Robert Curtis Ogden, will be less the memorial of a man than the monument of an epiph. In the light of a world war, in the presence of great events thick sown from the hand of time on the field of the present, it is plain, that Mr. Ogden and those who labored with him at the opening of this century were the instrumentators of laborers than they were aware, or even those now laboring can themselves know or perceive. The Spanish war was much more than a conflict with a European power, the redemption of Cuba, or the acquisition by the United States of its first colonial and insular possessions." War tries all and reverses all, and the Spanish war revealed the United States to itself. General Wheeler in federal uniform was the outward sign of the common purpose of all Americans, loosening the bond of the past and not more in the present and to decide and determine once for all that there was nothing in any state which was not important to every state. The hour was fit. Those who were close to the heart and progress of affairs from the pane of 1853 to the revival from 1857, to 1859 in all, the framework of production, transportation, distribution, and consumption know how diris was the last decade of the 1850s, and most of all for the south. Railroads had gone into the hands of receivers along the South Atlantic coast, on the broad uplift beyond the Appalachians, along the gulf and in the southwest. The expectation of great mineral and fund development in the south, incomparably rich at these points, began in 1857. In 1859 had grown in volume and fallen in price. Education in all its grade, elementary, secondary and higher, had made great advance over the past. The southern taxpayer had accomplished a great task in the education of the Negro at the public expense, patiently helping the burden of those unable to educate themselves, but this work was unorganized, insufficiently recorded and known, unappreciated by the country at large. In the years before the Civil War, the country remained in almost every southern state between the public school system and higher education. The public schools, themselves had grown, advanced, improved and multiplied in the period between 1865 and the close of the century on a scale not to be equalled in the annals of a territory as large, a population as great and with a division as fundamental in all the history of education, but the south of itself knew not its own progress, and the educational forces of the north were in greater ignorance. What the south had done for itself was not known to organized it, nor had the north had to organize it, the south through many agencies, by schools like that of Hampton, by funds like the Slater fund and by widespread contributions, was not known by the body of public sentiment in the south. Often, because these in charge of this work had not interlinked their efforts with local education. The reconciling word was needed, and Robert C. Ogden spoke the reco-缔ling-word. Co-ordinating organization was demanded, and he led the movement which brought that. In successive conferences for education in the south, began at Copen Springs in 1865 and continued to the end of his life. In another opinion, after another, was arraised to a consciousness of its own efforts—the work already done, the need that remained and the necessity for co-operation and organization. Robert C. Ogden was not himself present at the great meeting of county superintendents of public education from all over the south held just before his death at Hampton institute to consider the joint problems of southern education. Such a conference at such a place for such a purpose, marshaling that great and noble army of superintendents, who county by county shepherded the nation, most often offended national tasks—the education of two races—would have seemed inconceivable twenty years before, when Mr. Ogden began his work of organization, co-ordination and reconciliation. For this task he had every training provided not by schools or by wisdom and direction of men, but by Providence. Born in 1830 in Philadelphia and his life ending in 1913, his conscious years bridged all the march of events from the period before the civil war to the present day, the furthest north and south of the struggle. He had fought in the civil war. He had become a trustee of Hampton institute in 1874 and the president of its board a quarter of a century later. He had seen himself the work of educating the Negro from the schools of the freedmen's bureau to the provision made today by public agencies and private benefit. He was a business man. He knew business methods. He had personally shared in the work of organizing the scattered and fluctuating retail trade of the sixties into the great department stores of today. No one who knew his work in the industry had been trained by John Wannamaker but saw in that work the training and ability which later fruited in a great national task. Above all, he was a large minded, large hearted Christian to whom all men were brothers and all work divine service. This task was as simple in its elements as it was difficult in its solution. There were the great, liberal, but un-coordinated expenditure of southern states for white and black, effective and useful but twenty years ago of our time. There were the movements and development. There were the institutions for the Negro founded by northern benevolence and too often for various reasons now happily disappearing apart from the communities in which they were. There were the southern colleges and universities, the academies and lesser institutions, old and new, which before the civil war had given the south a larger proportion of college graduates than the north. There was the opening of this century was not in many cases interwoven with the new education of the south. Contributions on a large scale came as a result of Mr. Ogden's labors. He was a member of the General Education board, with the Rockefeller fund to dishuse, and he inspired its work in the south a work with grants in all of institutions, long continued expenditure for agricultural training, and, more likely, the sanitary campaigns against the hookworm and other maladies. The Jones fund of $10,000 for ailing rural Negro schools in the south is the outcome of the men's work together to good ends in noble self sacrifice. Mr. Ogden developed a new tool and instrument of national education and self knowledge. Year by year, at its own cost and an expenditure out of all proportion to his means and income, as lesser and narrower men reckon values, he took a tranfididn of northern and southern men and women, who gave largely of their means and those who gave largely of themselves, from one southern city to another. In each—Winston-Salem, in Athens, in Atlanta, in Columbus, in S.C. in Lexington, Ky.; Pinehurst, N.C. in Memphis, Teen., Atlanta, Gla.; Little Rock, Ark.; Jacksonville, Fla., and Nashville, Teen.—there was hold a conference of the Southern Education host, which he had organized and to a large extent supported. The press of the south gave these conferences a wider and more liberal report than have the newspapers of any part of the United States given to an educational movement. These reports educated a public of newspaper readers no balls could lose and no work the south itself had done grew plain. Needs still greater became visible. This new movement in education (valueless but for the work already done, supported and continued by southern taxpayers and southern educators), co-ordinated, inspired and made of national knowledge all that was in progress for white and black men. (Professor, Talcott Williams, is the director of the school of journalism of the Pulitzer foundation in Columbia university, New York.) SOJOURNER TRUTH HOUSE. National League Succeeds In Founding Home For Delinquent Girls. New York. At the meeting on the board of directors of the Sojourner Truth House, which was held recently in this city, Miss Eva G. Burleigh was elected superintendent and Mrs. Loh Johnson Guest matron of the home. The institution comes as a part of the Urban Conditions among our people. The Sojourner Truth House will be located at 15 West 131st street. The house has been renovated from top to bottom, steam heat installed and new decorations placed upon the walls of the rooms. The committee in charge of the home has been incorporated under the laws of the state of New York with the full sanction and approval of the state board of charities and the judges of the children's court. It is not the plan of this institution (to be final or final commitments from the court or the department of charities, but this institution is to be a home where no more than twelve girls may be received voluntarily and where their needs and characters may be carefully studied, so that each case may be cared for and disposed of by the proper authority to the best interest of each child. The officers of the committee are Mrs. George W. Selligman, president, and Mr. F. S. Jones, secretary. The officer F. S. Jones engaged the attention and efforts of the officials of the National league for several years. The outcome is therefore a matter of much satisfaction at this time.

DOCTOR REFUSES TO SAVE BABE'S LIFE "When a Child is Born Defective in Mind and Body Shall That Child Die by the Hand of Society and Science?" Chicago, Ill.—Ruby Bollinger, the three-day-old son of Allen and Anna Bollinger, died at the German-American hospital at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday night, just after being christened, a victim of one of nature's blunders. During all of its brief life it was under sentece of death as a defective, male menace to society in future years. Child Is Baptized. The water of baptism trickled through the scant brown hair of the child while science, withholding the easy gift of life, stood by waiting; while the mother, weeping in her bed, assented to the death penalty; while the coroner, whose concern is not with the living, waited for the end. "John I baptize the in name of the abolition of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." As the words were spoken by a weteyed woman, Miss Catherine Walsh of the Catholic church of St. Ann de Brighton, the baby quieted down in his crib. The dullness of death was in the eyes. Miss Walsh saw and added a little prayer: "God grant that this child's life shall not have been lived in vain." The prayer was spoken it was being answered. For at that moment millions of men and women all over the world were reading the story of Little John Bollinger, were searching their consciences, weighing a mighty problem, preparing to settle an issue older than civilization. The Question. This is the question: When a child is born defective, when its infant body is deformed, when its best life prospect is an existence of helplessness, when its mental institution for the mental weak—then shall that child die by the hand of society and science and civilization? The verdict was death in the case of John Bollinger. But on behalf of the thousands of defectives yet to be born, there is to be an appeal, an appeal that will find a thousand tongues of eloquence. There will be a decision—and that decision will be the contribution of John Bollinger to the world that fed him for six days and killed him. In less than a week the condemned baby became famous, fulfilled his mission on earth and then passed on. And the storm was breaking—a storm of impassioned and clashing opinions. Dr. Haiselsen was the storm center, because it was, he who had willed the death of the child. It was he who, confessing that he could have given life to the baby, refused to do so. By the time he was dead, the life he could have been saved. "But it would be wrong to save this life," he said. And quietly, resolutely he braved the frantic denunciations of those who thought otherwise. GOVERNOR NAMES MEN GOVERNOR NAMES MEN COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE RURAL CREDITS AND CO-OPERATION APPOINTED. Columbus, O.—Ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland, L. J. Taber of Barnesville, master of the Ohio State grange, and O. N. Sams of Hillsboro, president of the Ohio Bankers' association, president of the Merchants' National bank of Hillsboro and an attorney, Wednesday were appointed members of the Ohio state committee on rural credits and co-operation by Gov. Willis.

Y., with a crew of three men, John Nichols, H. C. Phillips and P. H. Colver, all of Westfield, which left here Sunday afternoon for Huron, is long overdue and fears are held for the safety of the craft. Four Men Are Injured. Sandusky, O. — Four men were painfully hurt, one of whom may die, when accumulated vapor in a gasoline tank exploded here at the filling station of the Lake Erie Oil Co. at the Charles A. Thom machine shop. The injured are Joseph Schieber, Charles Thom, Bob Tisdale and Gains McDowell. Gasoline had been pumped from a tank while repairs were made, and while the men were soldiering the seams the explosion occurred. All were blewn across the shop and the building partially swept. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Isaac Stephenson, former senator from Wisconsin, is about to issue a volume of reminiscences in which he relates his political experiences. He asserts that his financial contributions and other help contributed largely to the success of Robbette Atkinson and gave the Le Follette faction exhibited gross ingratitude in trying to have him ousted from the senate for his expenditures in the election. 'KEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD' GIBBONS Cardinal Says the, Way to Secure Preparedness is Through the Citizen Soldiery of States. Philadelphia, Pa.—Cardinal Gibbons cautions this country to keep in the middle of the road in the matter of preparedness; not to run to the extremists in the peace at any price propaganda, or among those who want great armies and navies for future armament in the United States. Cardinal Gibbons, Cardinal Farey and Archbishop Bonagnon, the apostolic delegate to this country, were guests of Archbishop Prendergast at the Archbishopspalast in the city of high significance, with hundreds of bishops, monsignors and priests, have arrived to take part in the gilden jubilee of the Metropolitan of Philadelphia. Cardinal Gibbons was driven to the residence of Archbishop Prendergast on his arrival and after dinner talked with newspapermen. In this matter of preparedness, the priest should adopt a safe, sensible and sane position. I am favorable to middle of the road caution. We don't want to run riotlessly to the preparedness program nor do we want to stick to the peace at any price propaganda. There has been a lot of hysteria about the dangers that confront our nation from foreign foes. "We needn't have the slightest apprehension. We shall not become embroiled in war unless we adopt a policy that is not opposed to our principles. We have fared very well in 120 years with a small army and navy. "The way to secure. proper preparedness is through the state militia. This will give you a body of trained soldiers, ready to spring to the national defense at the first alarm and the second alarm, young men for an indefinite time from commercial pursuits, professions and other walks of peace." JUSTICE HUGHES WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE Will Invoke Court Action, if necessary, to Keep His Name Off Republican Presidential Ticket. Washington, D. C. — Court action will be invoked, if necessary, by Justice Charles E. Hughes to keep his name out of the Republican presidential melee that he's how insistent the court is, but he shall not be regarded as a candidate. Announcement to this effect, was made Tuesday by H. L. Green, his secretary. Informed that Nebraska Republicans had put Justice Hughes' name on the primary ballot by petition, Mr. Green at once repudiated their action for his chief. Then he wired the Nebraska secretary of state for a copy of the ballot. Following this, Mr. Green declared that if Justice Hughes' name is not voluntarily taken from the ballot, the necessary action will be taken if court to hear it approved. Justice Hughes declined to make any personal comment on the Nebraska action. Inasmuch as he has already made a formal statement forbidding the use of his name in connection with Republican nomination. Ohio Politician Dics. Columbus, O.,—Major Josiah W. Smith of Ottawa, widely known as a Democratic leader and lawyer, died Tuesday of arteriosclerosis in Ann Arbor, Mich., where he has been undergoing treatment. His body will be shipped to Ottawa. Known throughout the state as "Josh," he had many friends in politics and in business. He was formerly, prosecuting attorney of Putnam county and was special counsel under former Attorney General T. S. Hogan. He served on the staff of Gov. Harmon. IN WHICH HAS ESTABLISHED SERBIAN ARMY IS IN ACRITICAL POSITION Iustro-German Wedge Has Almost Completed Its Movement. Serbs Are Driven Out of Mountain Positions and Forced Close to the Montenegro Frontier; Fleet Put to Sea. London, Eng. -- The main Serbian army, Gen. Putnik's command, is in a most critical position; a few days, serbs a few hours, will decide its date. The Austro-German wedge, which has been driving across middle Serbia, has almost completed its movement. The Austrian official-report states that on the border of the old Sanjak of Novibazar, the last Montenegrin rear guards have been forced across the Llm river, close to the frontier of Montenegro, and that the column advancing against Slenitza has defeated and driven out the Serbians from their mountain positions north of Javor. They are behind the Austrians, the Germans, under Gen. Von Koexess, are moving up with a larger force. Surrounded on All Sides But One. Gen. Putink's army is surrounded on all sides but one, as the Bulgarians in the south are moving west from Tetovo and have cut off retreat in that direction. The Bulgars have penetrated to a point only a dozen, miles from the frontier of Albania. The only escape for the main Serbian army, apparently, is through the rough mountain districts of Montenegron or Albania. Should they attempt to retreat through Albania they are likely to encounter hostile natives, unless Italy has already landed troops on the coast, as has been vaguely reported recently. A can be expected from the entente troops in the south, which, according to reports received, are hardly able to take care of themselves. Evacuation of Pass Not Complete. Evacuation by the Serbians of Bahuna pass, which would open the way for the Bulgarians to Prilep and Monastir, was not complete, apparently. A dispatch from Salonikli of uncertain date reports that the Serbians are holding the pass with only 1,000 men, and are enabling the remainder of the force to make its retreat to the south. On the French front, in southern Serbia, the Bulgarians, after repeated futile attacks in which they suffered enormous losses, are withdrawing to the north. The French report many desertions from the Bulgarian army. Furler east, in the vicinity of Stritmia, in Bulgaria, a big battle is developing between the French and the Bulgarians. Copenhagen, Denmark—Twenty-five German torpedo boats and a big cruiser passed from the battle into the cathedral address. The Cathedral is separating Denmark from Sweden. It is on the way from the Battle to the North sea. Any such move might indicate the German fleet is on its way to meet the British warships which for months have been waiting for a battle. TWO ARE FOUND DEAD POLICE BELIEVE THAT WOMAN KILLED MAN AND THEN COM. MITTED SUICIDE. New York City. There had not been a sign of life around the apartment at 754 McDonough-st. Brooklyn, occupied by a woman who said she was Mrs. J. J. Donnelly, for five days, so the sanitizer had the door forced. On a bed the woman was found lying dead. There was a bullet wound in her mouth. Beside her lay the body of a young man she had introduced as her brother. There was a bullet wound in his temple. The police believe the woman killed Collier and then committed suicide. She is-said to have been the wife of a gunner in the United States navy, now stationed at San Francisco. Injured In. Mine Blast. Duquoin, Ill. — Seven men were injured, four probably fatally, in an explosion of gas at the coal mine of the United Mining Co. at Buckner, 15 miles east of here. About 500 men were in the mine at the time of the explosion. Sassed Judge, Sentence increased. Lorain, O.—Three months more were added to Stephen Sirrus' sentence of $100 and three months when, after pleading guilty to stealing a goose, Sirrus "talked back" to Judge L. H. Job. To Save Sweetheart Columbus, O. — To shield his sweetheart, who was held on a charge of having burial tools in her possession, Lee Lester, 26, of Parkersburg, W. Va., has made a confession to United States District Attorney Stuart R. Bolin in which he admitted complicity in as many as nine post-office robberies in Ohio and West Virginia. "I don't care about myself, but the girl is absolutely innocent." Lester is reported to have said to the district attorney. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

A GREAT VICTORY. It will no doubt be pleasing to many of our readers to learn that the Su- preme Court of the United States on Nov. 8th sustained an important ruling of a former Ohio “boy,” the Hon, Charles W. Anderson, ex-collector of Internal Revenue, New York City, upon the corporation tax feature of the Payne-Aldrich law which was re-en- acted in the present tariff law. The case referred to is that of The Forty- two Broadway Corporation of New York city versus Charles W, Ander- son, ex-collector of the Port of New York. The issue was the construction or interpretation of the language in the first clause of paragraph 2 of the 88th section of the corporation tax act. ‘The Forty-two Broadway Corporation is a realty corporation and was organ- ized to construct @ building and col- leet and pay over rentals. The corpo- ration had a nominal capital ot only $600 paid up and a bonded debt amounting to $4,750. ‘The corporation ¢laimed the right to deduct from its gross income the interest paid on this bonded debt while the ruling of the collector, Charles W. Anderson, was to pe - 4 i a DP ad ‘the contrary. The corporation won in the Federal court for the southern dis- trict of New York, and the judgment ‘was later affirmed by the Circuit Court ‘of Appeals. ‘The case was then carried by the Government to the Supreme Court of the United States and in the opinion handed down by Mr, Justice Pitney the Judgment was reversed and the ruling of Ex.Collector Charles W. Anderson sustained. This decision will result in greatly enriching the United States treasury. From the very Deginning Collector Anderson insisted that he would not permit, if it were possible to prevent it, any legal leger- demain to destroy the spirit of the In- ‘come Tax Law, even where the corpo- rations seemed to be obeying the let- ter of it. It now turns out that he was right. This decision will. affect many millions of dollars, for there are ‘an infinite number of corporations in the country which have been capital- jaed mt thirty cents, and yet carry a Bonded indebtedness of many millions. ‘Phis practice will no longer be sufl cient to avoid the payment of the tax Which would have to be paid if the corporations were properly capitalized. Score another for that Ohio “boy,” in ‘New York—the Hon. Charles W. An- derson, ECHOES OF LONG AGO. Our good friend, Mr. Andrew Mc- ‘Spadden of the East End, Cleveland, a yeteran of the War of the Rebellion, has permitted us to read a copy of “The Provincial Freeman", vol. 1, no. 18, dated June 17, 1854, Rev. Samuel Ringold Ward, editor; Rev, Alex Me- Arthur, cor. editor; M. A. Shadd, nub. agt,, office 5 City Buildings, Kings Street East, Toronto, Canada. One of the many interesting features of the paper js a two column article trom “The British Banner” in which ex- tended reference is made to a speech in Exeter Hall, London, May 22. 1854, delivered by Editor Ward at the fifteenth annual meeting of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery society. An article of some length, devoted to the subject of “Fugitive Slaves in Can- ada”, was signed by a number of the most prominent Canadians of both races; another was devoted to the an: nouncement of “a plan for the Amer- jean Industrial School” of which “Frederick Douglass, Esq.” yas "ap- pointed agent and empowered to take and receive donations for stock” in the same. On the “Committee on Mantal Labour School” with Mr. Douglass were J, McCune Smith and four other men, Still another, and ‘possibly the most interesting article, especially to our people in Cleveland, is the “Call of a National Emigration Convention of Colored Men to be held in Cleve: land, ©,, on the 24th, 25th and 26th of August, 1854." Among the 26 signers to the call were Martin R. Delany of Pittsburg, and Johnson Woodlin of Philadelphia, ‘The other signers were from the two cities named, Alleghany and. New York; none from Cleveland A four line item in “The Provincial Freeman” announced that there “are 1,500 Negroes in San Francisco own ing property worth one million dollars. ‘Can they take care of themseives?"” NOT “THE LEADER OF THE RACE.” Dr. Booker T. Washington was not “THE leader of the Negro race.” The best that can truthfully be claimed for him is that he was A leader of the race—as an exponent of the in dustrial education idea. He was the leader of all peoples, the world over, in this respect, much ‘as the daily Dress of the country bas tried to con: fine his leadership, of'all kinds, to “the Negro race.” It is a notorious fact that the great majority of the leading men and women of the race have never aecepted Dr. Washington's leadership except when it comes to the matter of industrial education. ‘This same thing is true of the ma- Jority of the masses of our people. The course he was compelled to pur- sue to promote the interests of his Breat school, the Tuskegee Ala., Nor- mal and Industrial Institute, made it impossible for him to follow the course “the leader of the Negro race" must pursue. It is true, that Tuske- gee Institute is the greatest thing of the kind in the world and it has done great work. But the sacrifice, in rights and privileges, our people have been forced to make ever since Dr. Booker T. Washington made that At lanta, Ga., “separate-as.the-fingers-of theshand” speech, many years ago, is @ thousand times greater than the benefits of all kinds derived from his work and that of the school. It was this latter that madé Mr. Washington the commanding figure along educa tional lines he grew to be. He was undoubtedly the world’s leader, as we have said, regardless of race or class, when it comes to the matter of indus- trial education.

He finds certain faults in the schoo! administration and in school conditions in this city, but he conchides that the Cleveland school system is above the average in other cities. He notes especially facts which testify to the strong desire of Cleve- Jand parents to keep their children in school as long as possible and show the existence of a very wholesome spirit among the boys and girls of school age in respect to taking full ad- vantage of public school opportunities. ‘The proportion of children who finish the entire grammar school course is unusually great.

Although he had been in failing health for several months, his condition became serious only last week while he was in the East. He then, realized the end was near, but was determined to make the last long trip South. Accompanied by his wife, his secretary and a physician, Dr. Washington left New York for Tuske- gee, last Friday afternoon. He reach- ed home last Saturday midnight and died at 4:40 0, m,, Sunday. His last public appearance was at the Nation- al Conference of Congregational Churches in New York, where he de- livered a lecture October 25.

The funeral was at Tuskegee Institute, Wednesday at 10 a. m. Dr. Washing: ton was born in siavery near Hale's Ford, Va., in 1857 or 1858. After the emancipation he moved with his fam- ily to West Virginia. He entered Gen. Armstrong's school at Hampton and worked his way through an academic course, graduating in 1875. Later he became a teacher in Hampton Insti tute, where he remained until 1881, When “he organized the Industrial School at Tuskegee, to which he de voted most of his’ attention during the remaining years of his life. The institute started in a rented shanty church and today it owns 2,500 acres of land in Alabama and has nearly 100 buildings valued at. $500,000.

J. Hart. an old resident of this elty who is very popular with our audiences. In her Address Miss Nerney referred to the Hack of unity among our people sty Jing truthfully that the trouble was that the majority refused to recoxnize |i leader ‘because ‘ll wanted to lead fand none follow. She said that it was alarming how rapidly prejudice was gaining inthe northern states and how diligently prejudiced “white” Dersons were seeking to deprive us of Our rights, She spoke especlally. of the umber of schools being set apart for our children here in the north, and the prejudice that is bringing this about as well as segregation and discrimination in colleges. She said that It was deplorable but true that Imany of these separate schools had been established because our people themselves had asked for them, "to get @ few positions some special in- dividuals of color desired, She ad- vised our, people of Cleveland to be more alert and to resent always. the effort to discriminate and. segregate, Whether it be separate schools, Jimi crow” Y, M.C. A's, or other efforts. She spoke of the vicious photoplay, “phe Birth of a Nation,” and said she was glad to know that through the efforts of Cleveland's leading colored paper (The Gazette) the play was barred from Ohio and not allowed to be shown in this state, and that Ohio Ted the country in this matter. She also said that recently she had gone to Gov. Willis and that he had as- sured her that (hat vicious photoplay would never be allowed to show fn Ohio. She also went to seo the State Board of Censors, one of whom 15 a southern woman ‘who has lived in Ohio for 20 years but who told her that it" was Just such women as she (Miss Nerney) who were always going around stirring up something, and that she ought to bo at home. Miss Nerney advised that an eye be Kept on that ‘member of the “Board of Censors.” Squire Hart in a short talk scored our people for not being more united and not showing interest enough even to come out to hear Miss Nemey. He said, instead of having hot enough of an audience to fil the small auditorium, “this place should be packed and ‘hundreds on the out: side,” and he spoke the truth, For this’ failure and many others the 1o- ‘eal branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is to blame. The fact is, that it has been poorly managed and directed trom {iS inception. Now it fails to even hold a “big meeting" for the secte: tary of the national association, and a woman, too, ‘when holding ' “big Meetings” was about all it has _ac- complished in the past. Miss Ella Giexander presided over the meeting and a short but good musical program preceded Miss. Nerney’s address. Those participating in this latter were Misses Georgia and Cora Fields ‘and Olive Welle. The audience was ‘most enthusiastle in its responses to ‘the many telling portions of | Miss Nemey's address which was really ‘excellent, principally because it was $0 practical. Anent this phase of the necting one of our most prominent lady-workers made the _ following ‘comment to a representative of | The Gazette as they were leaving the mneeting Sunday afternoon: “The au Gience was lond in its applause, as it {seach time we have a speaker Cwhite”) telling us to be united and fight for our rights.

Furthermore, that they are using vicious, malicious and in- famous photoplays, principally, to do this, we are now thoroughly convinced. Many months ago when the editor of The Gazette started the fight, in Ohio, against those two miserable films, “The Nigger’ and “The Birth of @ Nation,” went to Gov. Willis re- peatedly relative to them, and con- tinned to lead the effort against them until they were barred from the state by the State Board of Film Censors, we felt that tlie firstnamed photo- play was only the opening wedge for “The Birth of a Nation” and others of a like nature, and told the Governor so. We were not mistaken, as all now know. On Tuesday even- ing, Sept. 28, 1915, we happened in a leading motion-picture theater in the heart-ot this city and witnessed a photoplay, “Under Southern Skies,” which contained several scenes that were worthy of places in both of the miserable films very properly barred from Ohio by our state officials, Not only were “subtitles” of “Under Southern Skies” extremely insulting and offensive but there was a scene where an especially viclous-appearing “Negro” was shown struggling to overpower a white girl. And this en- tirely foreign to the play, too! Never- theless, it was repeated and for a pur- pose too obvious for even the dull person not to understand. It was there to impress all who saw it with the false idea that “Negroes” were continually after white —women—as- saulting them! ‘There were other bad features. We immediately notified the chairman of the State Board of Cen- sors and received the following letter ‘in reply: . October 1, 1915, Hon, Harry C. Smith, ‘Editor, The Gazete, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir:—I heg to acknowledge re- ceipt of your favor referring to the five-reel production. “Under Southern Skies.” and note What yon say in ref- erence to same.

Notwithstanding the fact that Gov, Willis assured the editor of The Ga- zette, many months ago, when we went to him with our plea against that miserable photoplay, “The Nig- ger,” the opening wedge for “The Birth (Filth) of a Nation,” that “no films which reflect upon any class of our citizens will be exhibited in this state,” we hid our fears, With the assistance of the loyal and active members of the race throughout the state, The Gazette was able to lead a Successful fight against the first: named photoplay and have revoked the permit that had been given it to exhibit. ‘Then came the repeated an- nouncements, of “movie” theater man- agers throughout the state, to the ef- fect that “The Birth of a Nation” was soon to be exhibited. Our people, headed by The Gazette, kept up the fight. The last week in September, the promoters of the maliciously harmful photoplay applied to the State Board of Film Censors, at Columbus, for a permit to show it im Ohio. They evidently waited until Gov. Willis was out of the state to apply for a permit. The following letter, written several weeks ago, gave us confidence however. ‘Aug. 31, 1915. Hon. Harry C, Smith, Editor, The Gazette, ee ee Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith:—I am in receipt of marked copies of newspaper call- ing attention to the objectionable film (“The Birth of a Nation”) re- garding which we have had consider- able correspondence. I shall place this communication before the State Board of Film Censors. The law must be enforced and so far as I have power to prevent it no films which reflect upon any class of our citizens will be exhibited in this state. Very truly yours, See aa vith On Sept. 28 came the welcome news that the State Board of Film Censors had denied the request of the promot- ers of the miserable play, and on the morning of Sept. 29 came the splen- did communication from the chairman of the board to be found elsewhere in this paper. It is an exceptional and unanswerable reply to the promoters’ request for approval of “The Birth (Filth) of a Nation” and we congratu- late Chairman Williams and the rest ot the members of the board on the same, The position they take is a credit alike to the great state of Ohin, Gov, Willis and the board itself. That our people of the state fully apprect- ate it there can be no doubt. We have escaped the riots and other dis- graceful results the miserable photo- play bas thrust upon Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Chicago and other cities in those states, THANK THE LORD! Meantime, do not forget HIS instruments—our friends—Gov. Frank B. Willis, the State Board of Film Censors and “the old reliable” Gazette, which is always “on the firing line” when the race's rights, privileges and Interests are being assailed or are in danger, and which ACCOMPLISHES RESULTS, with the help of the loyal and active of the race. Additional satisfaction can be gained from the knowledge that the State Industrial Board, which has jurisdiction over the State Board of Film Censors, has al- ready refused to rescind bans placed on films by the State Censors, See cnet ame tee ae ae Columbus, 0. Oct. 5—The vietory of the Colored people and decent white people achieved last week, when the State Board of Censors refused a per- mit to “The Birth of the Nation” to show in Ohio, was achieved only after a most gruelling fight. Daniel J. Ryan, former Secretary of State for Ohio, a leading Ohio lawyer, led the fight against granting a permit to show the films in Ohio, and to him, more than any factor, are the Colored people of Ohio indebted for the victory won. ‘The foregoing is a fair sample of the rot the same Columbus correspond- ent has been sending to various race papers, some of which, apparently, have not as yet realized the mean, low and contemptible advantage of them he is taking. There fs absolute- ly no truth in the foregoing from the Age, except the information as to the ‘hig board of censors’ formal action in refusing to permit that. vicious photo-play to\show in Ohio. It was not until the last week of a “gruelling” SIX MONTHS' FIGHT made by our people of Ohio—particutarly Cleve- land—and a few of their white friends, led by the editor of The Gazette, that former secretary of state, Dan J. Ryan, Robert Barcus and the local branch of the N. A. A.C. P., all of Columbus, 0., got into the fight against the “Birth of a Nation.” Therefore, it is readily seen how much injustice there fs in the manifestly unfair claim of the per- sistent Columbus writer, that Ryan, Barcus and others “led the fight” and are entitled to the credit for influenc- ing the govertior and the state board of censors against permitting the play to show in’ Ohio. Especially is this true when {t is remembered that MONTHS AGO Goy. Frank B. Willis promised ‘the editor of The Gazette, in personal interviews at Columbus, and in numerous letters, some of which have been published, that “The Birth of a Nation” would not be allowed to show in this state. This was MONTHS, before Ryan, Bacus and the Columbus branch of the N. A. A.C. P., made a move in the matter. ‘The statement in the excerpt from the New York Age, that to Ryan, ‘more than any factor, Jare the Colored people of Ohio indebt- ed for the victory won", is simply ridiculous. No one knows this better than Dan. J. Ryan, and that Columbus Writer relative to whom R. W. Thomp- sop, the well-known Washington, D, C., correspondent, had the following to ‘say in a rocent issue of the Indianap- olis Freeman: A recent issue of The- Cleveland (O.) Gazette, edited by that dashing Henry of Navarre of the race, Harry . Smith, had the following to say of a certain seribbler, formerly an occu- paut of a federal office here, and who is now doing “something or other” on the outskirts of journalism for papers in Ohio, Washington, Chicago, New York and elsewhere. Said The Ga- zette: “The New York Age's and Chicago Defender’s ‘Columbus’ correspondent, who sometimes writes ‘Cleveland* and ‘Cincinnati’ letters, was ‘at it’ again last week and the week previ- ous. Much that he writes is not true. When will the editors of those papers tumble?” Washingtonians, familiar with the methods of this shifty correspondent, are asking the same question. Why do so-called wise newspaper men “fall for” the thinly-disguised machinations of this chronic grouch and marplot? ‘The matter {s referred to The New York Age and The Chicago Defender for appropriate comment and fitting action. at.

Sec. Cuy. Co. Home Rule Association, 636. Leader News Bldg., City. Friend Moore: "In connection with a talk I had with you the other day relative to saloon-keepers, especially in the down-town district, drawing a comparison to the attention of the leaders of the Cuyahoga Co. Home Rule Association to the fact with a view to having it stopped at once for obvious reasons, I wish to say that again today, as well as last week, several complaints have been brought to me. You know that over weeks ago one Otto Moser, 62 years old, was convicted in the Court for the mistreatment of one of our leading local colored citizens, because the latter entered his place of business and ordered a glass of whiskey, which was refused him unless a dollar was paid for it. For this refusal the citizen referred to has pending in Common Pleas court a油 Rights' law, which I introduced and secured the enactment of when a member of the Legislature in 1894. Complaints have reached this office against other saloons in E. 4th St., on the Public Square, and in other down-town districts. I want to urge upon you and your association the action to take to correct the connection with these complaints. While the enclosures are not directly related to the local situation, they are pertinent and interesting because they show the temper of the colored men not only in Cincinnati and the west but also here in Cleveland when they are so gravely and gratuitously injurious to their own esteem, encouraging to exercise the civil right guaranteed by the state and federal constitutions. Hoping to be able to find time to discuss this matter more fully with you at an early date, I am, sincerely, Cleveland. O., October 15, 1915. Mr. Albert Eisele, Pres. Cuy. Co. Liquor Dealers' Association, American Trust Bldg. City. Dear Sir: The enclosed is a copy of a letter which I received today from Hon. Harry C. Smith. I am forwarding this to you with the request that some action be taken immediately. Mr. Smith states that the situation is such as to cause a general effort on the part of the colored population to re-establish the states are taking place in Cleveland. Trusting that you will give this matter your prompt attention, I am. Cleveland, Oct. 15, 1915. Mr. Albert Elsele, Pres. Cuy. Co., Liquor Dealers' Association, American Trust Bldg., City. Friend Elsele:-I wish to call your attention to a few saloon-keepers in the business section of the city who are very fondly drawing a "colorful and thereby hundreds of votes for "prohibition." Last and this week, as well as repeatedly in recent months, complaints as the result of refusals to serve Colored men, in several down-town saloons solely because of their color or race, have been brought to me, and are causing a bitter feeling to arise against the saloon business that this far cannot nullify the efforts against "prohibition" being made among them. There is no sane reason why these few saloon-keepers should be permitted to continue this illegal and foolish conduct, and I am calling your attention to the matter with a view to your taking it up at once with the Association of which you are president, and doing you and it can do to put a stop to it. Several weeks ago, one Otto Moser, 2044 E. 4th St., was convicted and fined, in Police Court, for the mistreatment of one of the leading Colored men in the city who in a gentlemanly way entered his saloon and ordered a glass of whiskey which was refused him, unless he pay a dollar for the same. For this latter, the citizen and rotter referred to, has pending conviction. Please court, a suit against Moser for 5500 damages which was instituted under our Ohio Civil Rights' law. Bitter complaints, of a similar nature, have reached this office against other saloon-keepers in down-town districts. I want to urge upon you and your Association the necessity of immediate action in connection with these complaints for your own good as well as in the interest of decent, fair and legal treatment in public places for all citizens, without regard to race or color, who conduct themselves properly in the case for the denial of citizen-rights in the few saloons to which I am calling your attention, and it should be stopped at attention. Trusting you will give this important matter the prompt attention it surely merits, I am, Yours truly, Harry C. Smith. Cleveland, O., Nov. 6, 1915. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Blackstone Bldg., City. My dear Mr. Smith: Your very kind communication addressed to our president, Mr. Elsele, dated October 16th, relative to the question of serving colored men in the saloons of Cleveland on equality with other patrons, was read at our regular meeting, and received a brief, after a general discussion, by motion made and carried, the writer as secretary was directed to advise you by letter that this association as such SHALL DO ALL WITHIN THEIR POWER to see fair play and due consideration to all patrons of our members, conduct themselves as a proper and gentlemanly manner.

Respectfully yours, The Cuyahoga County Retail Liquor Dealers, Assn. Right in the midst of the campaign, just closed, came the denial of rights complained of in the foregoing. Immediately, we took up the matter with those in a position to help us most to stop it. In addition, in spite of the suggestions of others that the time was not opportune, we encouraged, directed the legal fight also referred to in the foregoing. We believe in "striking the iron while it is hot," and take pleasure in announcing to our readers that material progress has been made both in the courts and out of them. While we do not urge our people to frequent saloons, we do insist, in season and out, that our civil rights in ALL public places, saloons included, must not be abridged or denied when our conduct does not warrant the same. This has been The Gazette's slogan from its inception and shall ever remain with it. And we insist that our people show in a proper way the same determination that all other classes of Americans evidence, and that is to exercise, in a gentlyman and womanly way, their citizen-rights and privileges in all public places, free from insult and other attempts at a denial of the same. We are greatly pleased to have arrayed on our side in this matter the powerful local organization, the Cuyahoga County Liquor Dealer's Association, and its broad-minded president, Mr. Albert Eisele, because both can do so much to help stamp out a pernicious practice that is not only new but foreign to Cleveland and this county, and certainly should have no place here or elsewhere in this boasted "land of the free and home of the brave." There are so many classes of Americans and "isms," and so many foolish prejudices in this country—against Jew, Irish, German, Afro-Americans; catholicism, protestantism, etc., on down the calendar—that whenever one of them (prejudice) pokes its vicious head above the surface, it should promptly be split beyond repair with a blow as from a giant's hand, and that is what we are trying to do to this latest color-line.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In a communication to The Living Church, George F. Bragg, Jr. of Baltimore, advances the following arguments for church unity: A National and Not a Sectional Question. To the Editor of The Living Church: It is perfectly permissible, as well as lawful, within the bounds of Province No. 2, for a congregation of colored persons to be constituted on racial lines. It is permissible, and lawful, also, for colored persons to become members of parishes made up of white people. We certainly would not change this liberty. We would vigorously protest against any law declaring that colored people shall be organized along racial lines. We would as vigorously protest against a law which compelled the admission of colored persons into white parishes. What we now ask is that the several congregations organized on racial lines within the province be permitted either to associate themselves with the diocesan convention of the particular diocese where situate or to associate themselves with similar congregations within the province and be given a "status" of their own, with a convocation and missionary bishop. In every division of the church there will be colored members, but in the racial division the great body of colored people will be found. The point of unity is in the one episcopate. Still again, this unity would be in evidence in the Provincial synod. By such an arrangement, which is not mandatory but simply permissive, the great body of colored churchmen would be associated together in the work of missions, and also in building up institutions for colored orphans, the aged and infirm, and other charitable concerns. Otherwise, they would justly claim the benefits of such institutions now practically confined to white people. Right here is a great and vexing problem that is sure to arise, without the permissive legislation which is sought. We are asking simply for the legislation. The initiative, in every case, must be taken by the diocesan bishops. The question of a more elastic episcopal supervision for the colored race is not a sectional but a national question, and is intimately connected with the subject of church unity. If in 1878, when an entire Negro denomination, bishop, ministers, and daity, asked to be received into the Episcopal church in Virginia, the legislation which we are now asking the general convention to adopt had been a part of our canon law, the church would not have lost such a splendid opportunity. At the next meeting of the house of bishops the bishop of Virginia would have laid the whole matter before that body. And the probable result would have been somewhat like this: North Carolina and Virginia would have been constituted a special missionary district with respect to the colored race, and the very best colored priest that could be secured consecrated a missionary bishop and set to work, with the co-operation and guidance of the bishops of North Carolina and Virginia. That organization alone would have given him twenty-odd ministers, and more than two thousand communicant members. I know enough about racial life to assert that it is entirely within the range of possibility, some day, for the bishop of New York to be surprised with a request from some Negro body in the state of New York, seeking admission into the church, not as pau- At a colored Baptist ministers meeting it was decided to hold a city wide evangelistic campaign in Washington during the two weeks beginning October 24. The following evangelists participated: Revs. Richard Carroll and William Carter of South Carolina; S. L. Johnson and S. A. Brown of Virginia; Granville Hunt and C. L. Roy Butler of New York; Junius Gray of Maryland and J. W. Bailey of Texas. An executive committee, consisting of the following pastors, was selected to have charge of the campaign; Rev. M. W. D. Norman, chairman; Rev. J. I. Loving, secretary; Rev. W. D. Jarvis, treasurer; and Revs. Joseph H. Lee, Robert J. Hawkins, William Bishop Johnson, A. Wilbanks, J. E. Willis, J. P. Green, W. G. Brent, J. A. Tyler, Walter H. Brooks, J. W. Howard, S. G. Lankms, Holland Powell, William H. Jernagin and J. Milton Waldron. It is the general opinion that this was the great revival meeting ever held among colored people in Washington. Redditch is where all British needles are made. Rev. Dr. Weston Bruner, formerly of this city, but for some time past at the head of the department of evangelism of the home board of the Southern Baptist convention, is now engaged in work for the evangelization of the entire South, and has already inaugurated a series of meetings in nearly a hundred cities and towns of the South. these meetings including both white and colored Baptist churches.

If you will submit to being hammered with a board, or if you will permit other men to throw baseballs at your head, you can make yourself the source of much entertainment and amusement. The most difficult place to convict a man is in the courts. The easiest place is in a mass meeting. An active, sneering enemy is of more real value to a man than three ordinary friends. pers, but as self-supporting people. Such a happening would almost daze the good bishop, when immediately the vexing character of the new problem would dawn upon him in all its fullness. Under the legislation which is proposed, the solution would be quite easy, and prove a great triumph for the church, and the cause of Christian unity. The clerical and lay deputies in the general convention from the North are not wise in treating this question as pertaining to the South. Southern Negroes are constantly flocking to the North, and when they go they carry themselves. They have the same desire in the North that they have in the South. They want their own convention, and their own bishop. Sooner or later, there will be "trouble" in the white camp if the black saints of the household are "snubbed." Twelve hundred Chicago Negroes have banded together and purchased about eleven hundred acres of land on the shores of Crook lake, just outside Baldwin, Mich., and the islands which dot the lake, and are perfecting a form of government for the colony to be transplanted to the new city the first of next May. At a meeting a committee was appointed to draft a constitution, arrange for an election of officers by postcard ballot and make preparations for building a clubhouse on an island in the lake, which has been rechristened Lake Idlewilde. The new city is to be called Idlewilde. Negotiations are being conducted by a syndicate of Chicago Negroes looking toward the purchase of the Draper Hall summer resort in Oconomowoc, Wis.-Chicago Herald. How the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute is teaching Negroes and whites of the South to raise their own food crops; how it is establishing rural schools, largely through donations from Mr. and Mrs. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, and how it is establishing a farm colony for graduates are some of the things disclosed in the annual report of the principal, Dr. Booker T. Washington. In the report is made an appeal to the public for funds to carry on the work of this institution for the benefit of the Negro race. Seth Low, chairman of the trustees, announced the annual deficit is about $50,000, and Doctor Washington says there is needed a $2,000,000 addition to the endowment fund; $50,000 each for boys' and girls' dormitories. "The Star of Ethiopia" was the name of a pageant held by colored citizens in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution. The American League baseball park was the scene of the celebration. Mrs. Quincy Shaw of Boston and the Misses Lewison of New York and others furnished the fund with which this pageant is given. The colored citizens of Washington guaranteed an additional fund of $1,000. Charles C. Hopkins, clerk of the supreme court at Lansing, Mich., is the oldest employee of the state in point of continuous service, having held his present position 33 years. Clerk Hopkins is also the only clerk the supreme court has had since the court was given power to appoint its clerk. Booker T. Washington has issued a circular directing attention to the claims on public generosity of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Alabama, of which he is the principal. The school, which was established to educate Negroes, started with one teacher and 30 students, and now has 1,500 students from 33 states and 18 foreign countries, officers and teachers numbering 193. The institution owns 3,000 acres of land, and the entire value of its property is $1,362,000. Training is given in academic studies, trades and religion, and 6,000 graduates and undergraduates have been sent out as farmers, mechanics, housewives, teachers, and business men. The managers are seeking help for operating expenses and to increase the endowment fund of the institution. Seth Low is chairman of the board of trustees.

When an aged man recovers from a severe illness the neighbors make the best of it. But they never are able entirely to conceal their disappointment. In communities large enough to support more than one newspaper there always are two sides to every question. The popular conception of the devil is that of a male adult adorned with hoofs and a forked tail. But the devil people really dread is old age. After a woman reaches a certain age she becomes permanently indebted to the dotted veil. The larger the town the less attention an officer of the grand lodge attracts. When a man prefers the simple life, that is an indication he never was compelled to live it. A man's indorsement of a cause generally is predicated on the belief that the cause will help his business. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1915 STYLE NOW IMPORTANT SEASON'S MODES MAY BE SAID TO DEMAND NEW FIGURE. Point to Remember Is That the New Corset Must Be Worn With Intelligence—Mincing Step Is No Longer in Order. It does not take exceptional insight to see that the clothes of this winter demand a new figure. The curved body that wore the graceful folds of clinging drapery that formed our frocks a couple of years ago does not wear to advantage the short-skirted, tight-waisted, flaring frock of today. No, with the acquirement of our new supply of frocks we must acquire a new figure. Now the new corset is, of course, essential to the good fit of the new frock. But the new corset is not everything. It helps to mold the figure, it gives the right proportion to the hips, it emphasizes the slimness of the waist. But the new corset must be worn with intelligence. The debutante-slouch figure must be discarded, with all its attributes. And to wear the new corset properly the figure must first be straightened out a bit. The new frocks do not demand the old sort of uprightness that came into fashion just about the time that the Gibson girl arrived. But they do demand well-held shoulders, a rather straight back and such carriage that an easy, swinging gait is possible. For a mincing step with our wide skirts would be decidedly of out place, according to our modern notions. This shows how far we have really advanced, in our sartorial progress, from the days of 1860, when full, swinging skirts were properly accompanied by short, mincing steps. No; we don't like to mince. When hobble skirts demand a shortened gait we, haltingly and after many accidents, fall into it. But as soon as wide skirts return, our stride lengths. We like to minimize the effects of the world-war on fashions. We see a few gilt buttons, a little braiding and many hats modeled on different military caps, but on the whole we say that the war has had little direct result on fashions. Yet perhaps it is the war that has actually brought this new figure into being. Full, short skirts were created in the minds of the Paris dressmakers before war was declared—but not before the feeling for war began; and it is said that one Smart Little Cape of Seal Edged With White Fur, and Hat and Muff to Match. Notice the Lace Mitts. Smart Little Cape of Seal Edged With White Fur, and Hat and Muff to Match. Notice the Lace Mitts, of the strong reasons influencing their fashion this autumn in Paris is that so many Parisiennes have to work. Their automobiles have been volunteered or requisitioned for work at the front. So, perhaps, if the war had not been, short, full skirts would have had no more vogue than the famous but short-lived lampshade tunic that Poiret introduced a few years ago. The full, short skirt is here, however, and with it other style details that demand upright shoulders and straightened back. Don't rest too much confidence in the new corsets; give them a chance by standing up. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper.) DAINTY DANCE FROCK SLIP Suggestion for Negligee Garment That Will Be Satisfactory or Wear at All Times. Between-season time is the ideal period for making up negligees, fanciful petticoats and dancing slips for the coming winter. Styles in these garments are not arbitrary and volatile, and nothing is gained by leaving their making until the last minute, when more important dressmaking will be under consideration. From last year's evening frock a charming dance dappeticoat may be evolved for this winter, and as for negligees, where is the woman who has not some cherished idea of a particular negligee which she intends to "when she gets around to it"? Here is a pretty idea for a dancing slip which may be worn under the winter dance frock of lace or silk: A short, gath- FANCY HATBANDS IN FAVOR For Various Reasons They Will Be Found to Make a Special Appeal to the Average Woman. Fancy adjustable hatbands are a feature of the new millinery and appeal to the woman whose longing for variety is hampered by a limited purse. They furnish an excellent means of introducing daring touches of color in an otherwise dark street costume and are adaptable to the stiff crowned, narrow brimmed models as well as to the soft sport hats of felt and beaver for which they were originally designed. Plain colored ribbons in the new, bright shades, as well as in striped and blocked effects, combining two colors in sharp contrast, are the most used for adjustable hatbands. Many of these are so woven as to pass for hand knitted bands and have a convenient elasticity which makes them easily adjustable to any size crown. Others are of a stiff ribbed silk similar to belting and fasten under the fattest of tailored bows. [ ] A stunning creation is this walking suit of checked velour which Bernard of Paris has designed for fall wear. The coat of the model is three-quarter length with the bottom of it falling into a flare. Its deep roll collar is luxuriantly trimmed with beaver and deep cuffs of the same fur are used with good effect on the sleeves. The coat fastens with two large buttons. The skirt is of medium width and reaches to the shoe tops. ered skirt and little brassiere reaching from waistline to armpit, are of soft silk in white or flesh pink tone. Two puffings of the net footing are set into the brassiere all the way around and six ruffles of the net footing trim the skirt, each ruffle its own width above the next. Bodice and skirt are united under a cording and ribbons hold the brassiere over the shoulders. PROPER TABLE LINEN HEM Much Depends Upon the Way In Which This Most Important Work Is Done. Lay the hems as for the ordinary hemming stitch and baste to position. Fold the hem back onto the right side of the napkin so as to form a crease that is just even with the first turn of the hem. Se., the first turn of the hem and the crease in the napkin together with the overhand stitch. In making the overhand stitch one may work either from right to left or from left to right. To fasten the thread at the beginning of the work, leave an end about one-half inch long and take the first stitches over the end of the thread. The needle is brought through the work from the back and is pointed directly toward the worker. Do not pull the thread too tight in working. The hem should open out flat and there should be no ridge on the wrong side. At the end of the hem the thread is secured by taking two or three stitches back over the work just completed. When correctly made the overhand stitch should be straight on the right side and should slant slightly to the left on the wrong side. -Beryl Dixon, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo. DICTATES OF FASHION Children's dresses are finished with cavalier slashes. Some of the new tailored suits have full circular skirts. Fashion loves fur this winter even more than she did last. Some of the new sleeves show very full puffs above the elbow. There will be a great deal of chiffon and crepe material used. New skirts are in soft plaids, faint stripes and plain colors. Young girls' frocks frequently have a betelle fashioned waist. It is hinted that the train will return to favor for evening wear. Gorgeous Petticoats Very pretty petticoats are made of white taffeta, with two lace flounces and a little trimming of ribbon in color. They are very pretty and one hardly believes the price tag, which says that they cost only $2.95. Sleeves for Day Wear. Sleeves of daytime dresses are very varied this season. Besides the return of the drop shoulder leg of mutton sleeve there is a bishop sleeve that is slashed from the cuff to the elbow bone. The edge is outlined with embroidery and soutached braid. Another sleeve, also set into the usual armhole, is slightly full and the fullness ends in a frill half way between elbow and wrist. A second puff and frill, emerging from the first, continues to full sleeve length. Lingerie Becoming Wider Lingerie has forsaken the straight and narrow way and is becoming wider and wider and more voluminous. The chemise is once more recognized apart from the combination. Hand embroidery on lingerie is now an important feature and the fabrics, while growing more and more gossamer, derive some firmness from their embroideries. Flemish lace is in demand, likewise mallines and the ever-popular valenciennes are all used for trimming. MOST PRACTICAL APPAREL FOR THE SMALL GIRL. Garment Will Be of Service at All Seasons of the Year and May Be Made of a Wide Variety of Materials. This dainty and practical little child's apron is the sort of pattern that will make up suitably for a little frock to wear around the house, since it is of dress length, and a small child does not require anything more by way of dress indoors. This apron has an embroidered design worked on the band across the top and pockets, but embroidery is not necessary, although hand work is always charming on a child's clothes. A good many people trim frocks and aprons with a design worked out in fancy braids, of which many come in wash varieties. Suitable materials for this apron are gingham, cambric, percale, pique, the stiffer cotton weaves and cretonne, which is used a good deal at present for making up house frocks and aprons. The dainty coloring of cretonne lends a brightness to costumes for both big and little folk that is very attractive. For many reasons it is considered more sanitary to have children wear cotton clothing in the winter, over their flannel or silk underwear, and an infinite variety of cotton weaves are on the market in every sort of col- A girl in a polka-dotted dress holding a rose. Little Folks' Apparel. or combination. Many of them are so durable that a child outgrows the material very quickly and the dress is good for another child's uses. TEA GOWN WORTH COPYING Description of One of the Most Successful of These Always Eminently Serviceable Garments. A pleasing tea gown seen recently was carried out in soft black brocade, the slightly full, short trained skirt slit up in front to show a petticoat of charmeuse and black shadow lace. Over this fell a three-quarter length coat of black mousselline de soie, finished with a flounce of the same fimly lace headed by thy silver roses, placed at fairly close intervals, but not touching. Again, about the region of the hips the fullness was just lightly drawn to the figure, after the manner of the favorite coat bands, by a double line of the same silver roses, the body part concluding with elbow sleeves, arranged to fall in long points, weighted with silver tassels. Perhaps, however, the cachet of the scheme rested on a lovely fancy purple velvet ribbon, embroidered in silver, that, after softly draping the waist, fell down the front in one long and one shorter end. Feather breasts encircle many small hats, with or without brim, and are the only trimmings, save for little "feeters" curling out and up from among the feathers or wings in one with the breast trimming. How to Fringe. When fringing a table cover or anything with deep fringe, first tear it up as deep as you want the fringe, at intervals of a finger or all the way across the end, then fringe out these short pieces one by one, which is a much easier way than pulling out a long thread every time, having it break and being obliged to hunt for the end with up or needle. PELTS IN NATURAL STATE Are Frequently Used Today Without Passing Through the Hands of the Dyer and Dresser. One finds many pelts used in their natural state on topcaps. This does not mean they are more attractive than when they have passed through the experienced hands of dyer and dresser; it merely indicates that although furs are plentiful enough the scarcity of dyes and dressers has made it almost imperative to use them "au naturel." This is why we find a coat of Hudson seal bordered with a white band of natural lynx, which at first sight seems to resemble badger in its pale yellow tone and black marking. It is not as elegant as the lynx that is dyed black, and its price is far above rubies just now. Then there is the coat of cloth or velvet trimmed with natural muskrat, with which a few seasons ago a woman would have hesitated to have anything to do. Now, however, conditions have made it a la mode along underwood & Underwood The model is cut full length and with a pronounced fullness which be-speaks comfort. Its large roll lapels may be fastened close about the neck and its deep-scaloped collar tends to keep out the biting winds. The coat is fastened with one large bone button and is belted half around the waist. Deep turn-back cuffs are scalloped and fastened with two buttons. AS LINEN CLOSET SHOULD BE Right Way to Keep Receptacle Upon Which So Much of the Family's Comfort Depends. The shelves of the linen closet look most attractive if they are trimmed with white paint from top to bottom. Cheesecloth, with a thickness of cotton batting, sprinkled with lavender flowers, should be packed up against the back of each partition, and small bunches of dried lavender hung up from the top shelf. The top should be reserved for blankets, spreads and quilts. Partitions on the lower shelves should separate the sheets, pillowcases, towels, tablecloths and napkins, and a special place should be provided for dolls, tray cloths and bureau covers. By the human methodically arranged in this manner, the housekeeper knows exactly how her stock stands and can replenish systematically. Many women have adopted the plan of adding one new article to the linen chest each week, and thus can keep ahead of the game without any perceptible drain on the family purse. Aprons of Chintz The vogue for chintz in dress has led a young matron who does her own housework—and likes to look well while doing it—into making a set of work aprons and caps out of this decorative material. The firm weave of chintz makes it an admirable dustproof protection for gown and hair and keeps a fresh look. Chintz does not wrinkle easily, and if a gay all-over design be chosen it will not look spotted for a long while. Dressed in her chintz apron and cap to match, the young matron looks pretty to a degree—more as though arrayed for some fancy dress affair than for mere work, a fact that makes work go gayly. Her aprons cover her gowns entirely. They are trigly belted in at the waist and furnished with a commodious pocket. An apron and a cap striped in inch bars of dark blue alternating with a pattern of green leaves and yellow flowers on white background make her favorite chintz armor against dust and soil. Pierrot Boa. No, it's not for a masquerade, but just for wearing along your favorite promenade. It makes the people turn to look again, for it consists of black and white chiffon velvet, one end white and ending in a black tassel, and the other black, finished by a corresponding white tassel. Where the two colors meet in the back they are cleverly overlapped and finished with black jet buttons. with unplucked otter, hair seal, yellow kolinsky and the like. Jeweled Combs. Jewelled combs and hairpins are among the novelties for evening wear. Sapphires and emeralds seem to be the favored stones set in amber or tortoise shell, alone or in combination with rhinestones. For the dowager there are handsome jet combs, as well as combs set with jet and rhinestones and black onyx and pearls. As amidst the puffs and soft curls of the coiffure they add a note of distinct charm. Worn high, they impart even to the frivolous coquette an air of dignity. Cretonne Covers Covers for tables and dressers are made of pretty flowered cretonne. Some are trimmed with lace and others have a wide hem of plain linen, the hem matching the flowers in color. Other designs are charming. Some are of dainty wreaths and garlands, others of rich coloring, patterns of rich coloring, and all with a silky silky sheen. They are also used for bedroom draperies and accessories. CAP and BELLS IOKE ON CURIOUS NEIGHBORS Young Wife Was Scolding Curly-Haired Black Pup and Not Her Husband, as Was Supposed. His name was Charlie and they had been married only a week. She was particularly affectionate and their thin-walled apartment concealed little of import from curious neighbors. One night the neighbors gasped in amazement and then suspended all other things to listen, says Columbus Dispatch. "She" was speaking in strident, angry tones. "Charlie," she was saying imperiously, "if you ever come into this house again and muddy my carpets with your feet, right back home you go!" "Gosh! A divorce," breathed the next-door man to his wife. They spent most of the night wondering whether the newweds could live together another week. "Well, he had no right to spoil her carpets," commented the wife with a finality that ended the discussion. Next morning a curly-haired black pup was cavorting over the lawn of the newlyweds. "Charlie," the young wife was saying to the new pet, "I'm sorry I scolded you last night, but your feet were terribly muddy." And She Believed Him. "Hubby." "Yes, my love." "You used to seem glad when I telephoned you at the office, but when I called you up today you were as cross as an old bear." "That was only a pose of mine, Angela." "Oh?" "Our contounded office boy was grinning so I had to conceal how delighted I really was." Overestimated Them "A man should stop every now and then and take stock of himself," remarked the philosopher. "I don't agree with you," said the pessimistic person. "Why not?" "It is impossible for a man to remain always twenty-one. And that is about the only time in life when taking stock of himself is apt to give him any considerable amount of satisfaction." Rapid Progression. "Well, sir?" said the judge, sternly. "Me'an my wife had some words, your honor," began the prisoner, "an one thing led to another." "What do you mean by that?" "You see, sir, she started by throwing the salt shaker at me. Then she shiled a few cups an' saucers, then a few plates an' wound up by hittin' me over the head with the coffee pot." She—I understand that young De Pinch has been operated on for appendicitis. He—Yes, it's the first time anyone was known to get anything out of him. But you see they had to give him chloroform to get that. **Playing to the Galleries.** "Senator Bluffum seems always anxious to fight the battles of the people." "In a strictly oratorical sense, of course." "Oh, yes. He represents a constituency who believe that the more noise he makes the harder he is working to protect them from his unscrupulous associates." **Faint Praise.** "What did the critics seem to think of Scibison's latest novel?" "They didn't seem to think much of it." "No?" "One said it might be a good book to read on a train, if there were plenty of charm; scenery to look at along the route." Melancholia. "If I were to offer you a job, what would you think?" asked the practical philanthropist. "Indeed, sir," replied the mournful-looking tramp, "dere ain't nothin' you could say to me dat maw would add to de mental depression I've been laborin' under fur many years."
