Many of our young men and women were selling tickets for this entertainment several days in advance, and the show was Dancing IN LION IN STRENGTH WOMEN IN GREAT NEED OF CLOTHES Capt. Griffiths Makes Report of Recent Visit. There on Voyage From Australia. New York — Women of Pitcairn Island, through Capt. Griffiths of the ship Port Hardy, have made an appeal to their American sisters for clothing, thread, needles, for while the inhabitants of this pictureque spot are simply supplied with food and other necessaries, the women, have been reduced to the necessity of fashioning their garments from the cast-off clothing of the men. The port Hardy pairs between New York and Australia, returning by way of London. Capt. Griffiths had visited Pitcairn Island in 1891 and, having a desire to revisit it, touched there on his last voyage out. The island, a mere speck in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, lies about halfway between the western extremity of the Panama Canal and New Zealand. The island is a rocky promontory rising from 1000 to 2000 feet above the sea level. It is about two and a half miles long and one mile wide. It is well wooded and covered with luxuriant tropical vegetation. The sides are sheer rock cliffs and there is no harbor or anchorage for ships, though a bight in the coast line is known as Bounty Bay. The Port Hardy though nominally touching, did not anchor but merely "jay to" d offshore. That was a sufficient invitation to a number of the islanders, men, women and children, to come aboard. The inhabitants, 160 in round numbers, were amply supplied with food, but mainly in need of clothing, especially the women. The people of the island also need other articles, such as writing paper, pencils, slates for school children, paraphrase, oil, soap and nails, all of which the captain has promised to take back to them if they are given to him. Concerning: the people of Pilealam, Capt. Griffiths said that the women were dusky-hued, like their Tahitian maternal ancestors, but the men have move of the European coloring. They speak no other language than English, and excitement English, too. They were strictly honest and exceeding religious. In religion they are Seventh Day Adventist. Their religious ideas appear to have been derived from Alexander Smith, one of the original settlers, who afterward changed his name to John Adams and endeavored to atone for his mutinous conduct by educating and civilizing the rising generation. There is one church and one school-house on the island and the children seem to be well instructed. The story of Pileair Island is one of the strangest in history. The island was discovered by Cartercet in 1788 and named by him after one of his officers, but it was not again visted by Europeans until it was taken possession of by some of the Bounty mutineers. William Blighan, English naval officer, was sent out in December, 1787, to Tahiti, in command of the ship Bounty to collect breadth trees for transplanting in the Tahiti in October, 1788, and remained there six months. She set sail for Jamaica April 4, 1789. Bligh was tyrannical officer and the men under him had been captivated by the easy life in Tahiti. On April 28 they mutilated, cast Blisse and 18 other men adrift in the ship's launch and sailed back to Tahiti. Bligh and his companions reached the island of Timor on June 14 after sailing 3600 nautical miles in an open boat and suffering dreadful privations. Mrs. Gibbs had only recently returned from her koneymon trip and was enjoying the delightful novelty of marketing one morning. "Oh, yes, and I wish some butter, too, please," she added, as she was about to leave the store. "Roll butter, ma'am?" queried the clerk. "No," returned she, "promptly; "we wish to eat it on toast.

The 367th Honors Hint With the Title of Honorary Colonel of Regiment for Splendid Services. Camp Tipton, N. Y.—Something new in the line of American titles was bestowed here, last week Thursday, when Hon. Charles W. Anderson, formerly Collector of Internal Revenue at New York, was made honorary Colonel of the 367th Infantry. Mr. Anderson was "commissioned" by Col. James A. Moss, who had assembled the entire regiment in the Buffalo Auditorium. Col. Moss, explained to the troopers that it was an old custom in European countries to appoint researchers and titled personages, as the honorary colonels of regiment, were to American honorary commanders. He told the men that he thought it was fitting that Mr. Anderson should be so honored by the 367th Infantry, for which he had done more than any other private citizen. Mr. Anderson said he felt sure that the records of our troops in this war would glad glory to the traditions of the race. It was Col. Anderson who called the first meeting to organize the 367th N. Y. Infantry, now in France, and introduced Col. Howard, now head of the regiment, to the meet- Gov. Chas. Whitman. ing. He also introduced Captain Charles Fillmore, former major of the Ninth Ohio Battalion, also in France, to the Colonel as the best man to take charge of the recruiting. Major Fillmore was then serving as a U. S. ganger under Collector Anderson. When the "15th" airborne above with a special attention to the "367th" and helped Colonel Moss pick good men for his command. He also personally resigned over $20,000 to build the $40,000 auditorium at Camp Upton for the regiment and has fought its battles with all his strength over siege. When they were barred from the 19th birthday parade, early in the month, they were sent it to Gov. Chas. Whitman with the result that the "367th" was brought to N. Y. City for the parade. On that day, Col. Anderson secured (unassisted), food enough to feed the troopers two meals and arranged to have the great Union League Club of N. Y. City present the beautiful statue of colors the regiment received. He also served in his sollden serviles to the "367th". And Anderson is an Ohio "boy," too, please remember. Where is Robert Scott?

THE U BOAT CROWDED - COMPELLED TO SLEEP ON ONE SIDE - SUBMARINE SOUVENIR THRILLING ACCOUNT "Aboard the Edna I had two discharges from the 'English trade ships. Before I stepped foot aboard the sub I destroyed them. If those Germans had known my status, good night!" I had picked up a few German words while sailing, into German ports: years before, and I began to get interested in what the crew were saying. I learned they had sailed from Kiel six weeks ago. They had been cruising around Cuba, the Bahama Islands, and the West Indies before they were sighted off Cape Hatteras, over for one sailor, who were over for another's cruise and had provisions and supplies for such a visit. Germans Spoke Good English. "Many of the crew spoke good English and often talked about incidents, in Baltimore, Philadelphia and other ports. The German storekeeper had lived in America for eight years. At one time he had served an enlistment in the United States Navy. Occasionally we were allowed to go on deck, but when we were disembarked we days and they were 'Raus mit nm.' "One night—I can't remember when—we were ploughing along on the surface. I was atft of the rear hatch. I could just see a light about eight or ten miles away. I believed we were in the vicinity of the New England coast. Perhaps it was a light house. When the officer of the sub caught us we were immediately on board. We stayed there for three hours. The sub's wireless was crackling overhead all the time we were below. We got chummy with members of the crew. Two of them showed me photographs of their sweethearts. One of them lives in Philadelphia. I saw photographs of two of the members taken with Iron Frog. "Sunday morning the chief engineer said, 'Negro, raus.' America is come." "By golly, that sounded good to me. Pretty soon from below we heard the boom-boom. That meant, we learned afterward, that the Winneconne had been hit. We were then in the water, and the member members of the Winneconne and set-adrift. Some of the crew shook hands with us and hoped to see us soon in America. They gave us water and black bread. I have got a souvenir—a piece of the cork life! I was in the water, and down in the small boat I didn't even turn my head to see what became of the sub. I had enough." Editor Gazette.

One of the most graphic accounts of how German submarines off the Atlantic Coast destroyed American vessels, and of the treatment of citizens of the United States hold cap- ENOCH ROKER tives on U-boats for days. Is told by Enoch Roker, a seaman on the three-masted schooner Edna which was sunk by a submarine, May 25. It was Roker who identified the U-boat that sunk his vessel as No. 154. Writing of this experience on the day the 93rd was torpedoed, Roker said: "A shell whistled near us. "Gee, it must be an English patrol boat!" said a member of the crew as he saw the submarine's english. "English nothing! that's a German-German see the iron Cross on the flag?" I answered. The captain was surpised. "By this time all hands were on deck. We hoisted the American ensign. Just then the German flag unfurled. I was so surpised when I knew she was an enemy I threw my pipe overboard. For five years I had that one pipe. A German lieutenant, and another officer came alongside in a small boat. "What's the matter with you follows?" he shouted in perfect English. "Put over a ladder; he weas us all." "Capt. Gilmore started to obey. That's not your work, Captain. Get your men busy. You get me the ship's papers. Get a hustle on." "The lieutenant jumped aboard, went and pulled down the American colors. He did not have the courtesy to fold the flag, however. We all stood about, open-mouthed. We couldn't understand the suddenness of the attack. I guess we didn't move lively enough to suit the German, and he shouted: "I see you need more submarines over here. That'll wake you Americans up." I didn't dispute him, but helped to pile up supplies and luggage on deck preparatory to loading it aboard the sub. He got excited and told us we had ten minutes to get away. We made sure we were entered into the boat and taken to the 151. I Rout 250 Foot boat. "Believe me; that sub was some craft. Guess she must have been 350 feet long. Had one large confining tower. She had two six-inch guns, one forward and the other aft. We were ordered to go below into a small room, near the engines. It was terrible hot, phew.' We found other prisoners from American ships there when we got there. "There must have been seventy-five members of the crew of the enemy sub. Our sleeping quarters were poor. Every one was compelled to sleep on his side—so crowded were the wanks. Eight days of this. We were allowed the liberty of the ship in the rear when running on the surface. Below decks it was stilling hot. I don't see how those Germans can stand it. I guess they won't have to for long. Some of the sleeping bunks and bedding was lettered "U 151." The small steering wheel bore the number "U 153." "That evening at 5 o'clock we tasteed food for the first time. It was black bread and tea without milk on it. We sell lots of good food around the halls that get to taste easy. It was on stores from the Edna. The Germans enjoyed it, however. The next morning we were handed out small slices of the black bread. This time it had some cheap jam on it. Also, coffee without sugar. Noon came an we were doled out some beans, a little potato and a mixture of chopped pork—and FROM CAMP GRANT IS UNION IS STRONGER SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS J. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS. When Charles W. Fairbanks died last week the country lost one of its "saintest and safest minds." In a long political career it would be almost impossible to find an instance where Mr. Fairbanks made an error of judgment. "Possibly the greatest service that he ever rendered his country 'was in the free silver agitation in 1896, when he took a firm stand for the 'gold standard.' He was one of a group of men who held the Republican party to sound the nation of history that he wrote the money plank in the national platform adopted at the St. Louis convention and over which he presided as the temporary chairman. His life was one of the highest usefulness, not only to his party, but to his country. To him, more than to any other man, is due the fact that indiana at one time a doubtful state, became a staunchly Republican state. There will be regret at his death from members of the military and because of a powerful patriotic and useful service which he rendered his country. There will naturally be an especial regret in the ranks of the Republican party to see one of its oldest, greatest and most revered leaders pass away. Mr. Fairbanks was a living demonstration of the fact that an active political life could be combined with the loftiest ideals and the highest ranks, and with the fierce face on charge even of the slightest kind was ever made against him and his cleanliness and purity of character were conceded by all. As United States Senator, he was one of the strongest of a group of strong men and he gave to the high office of vice president a real value which it had never had before. The country felt safe when Fairbanks was vice president, feeling that if any unfortunate event would cause a vacancy in the presidency a man capable of being next in line for the position. A profound sympathy will go out from all over the nation to the relatives of the distinguished citizen now passed away. TEXAS LYNCH-MURDERS Another Woman Victim—Bound "To Keep Up With Georgia." Beaumont. Tex.—Kirby Goosele, age 19, was lynched May 27 by a mob of white brutes near. Wooded young Goosele was only charged with attacking a white girl. Other than the "charge" there seems to be no proof in the case. It does not appear that Kirby was even identified by the more or less mythical "white girl." Nor did his tender years have any effect up on his murderers. Huntsville. Texas.—Mrs. Sarah Cabinness and her sons, George, Peter, and Tobey. Two dead, and her daughter, Bessie, is probably fatally wounded as the result of an attack by another mob of white brutes in the Cabinness home, early June 1. To conden their crime they have accused the Cabinnesses of a plot to kill the family of A. P. Allen (white), who it is alleged, was indirectly responsible for the killing of another son earlier in the week. This member of the Cabinness family they accused of the killing of another of the teenager Allen with a gun. They also accused another member of the family of approaching the Allen home with a double-barreled shotgun.

SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1918. Motto at the Henry Ford marine plant: "A chaser a day keeps the U-boat away." The query as to why Schwab removed the offices of the Emergency Fleet Corporation to Philadelphia may be answered by the suggestion that he wanted something done and done quick. Never were the prospects of Republican success in Indiana so brilliant as now. Vice-President Marshall is to make the keynote speech at the Democratic State Convention to be held in Indianapolis June 18. One fact stands out. Every time the Senate Committee on Military Affairs shook up things there was a perceptible gain in speed and efficiency. Would this gain have been made had the Senate been acquiescent? Philadelphia will never again be called a slow place since Charley Schwab moved the offices of the Emergency Fleet Corporation to the old town. Since Schwab took hold of the Emergency Fleet Corporation it has become somewhat fleet itself. Senator Kenyon says he has data to show that in one department in Washington 3,000 clerks are employed where 600 have been doing and could do the work. The deserving Democrat who does not have a public connection with a salary attachment is not grasping his opportunity. The latter part of our Cadiz, O. letter (on page 1) tells a sad story which every one of our readers should be familiar with. We have all along felt that the selection of Ralph Wilgeria Tyler of Columbus, O., as secretary of the National Comfort Committee was a mistake and fear that it is proving so. --- While thousands of our people at Statesboro, Ga., were marching in a patriotic parade, week before last to foster the purchase of Thrift and War Savings stamps, elsewhere in that state white brutes were busy lynching four of our men and one woman the latter for uttering "unwise remarks" anent the lynch murder her husband. This thing was repeated in Texas, last week. It does begin to look, again, as if there are those in the south who are determined to force disloyal acts upon our people of that section of the country and it is a very good reason why the government should rally to the support of a national mob violence or anti-lynching bill if such a law be a possibility. "POLITICS IS ADJOURNED" In his recent address to Congress urging the enactment of a new tax law, President Wilson took occasion to declare that "politics is adjourned." The remark caused no little surprise at the national capital, for no one had observed the adjournment. It was but a few weeks before that President Wilson wrote a letter to the Democrats of New Jersey telling them of his duty as head of the Democratic party. It was but a few weeks since he wrote a letter to Joseph E. Davies of the Federal Trade Commission, advocating the election of Davies to the vacant senatorship in Wisconsin over Lenroot, Republican, or anybody else. Only a few days before the President announced the adjournment of politics, A. Mitchell Palmer and Vance McCormick, high in the councils of the Democratic party and high in official positions in the administration, had been defeated in Pennsylvania, where their candidates were denied endorsement by their own party. The incidents mentioned above are a few public occurrences that had led the people to believe that politics is still in full swing, as it has been from the day Wilson took control of the administration. If politics is in reality adjourned, and that remains to be seen, who adjourned it? Was it the voters in Wisconsin who refused to accept the partisan dictation from the White House? Was it the Democrats of Pennsylvania who repudiated Palmer and McCormick? Was it the people of the entire country who started a ground swell of indignation when it was announced that General Wood had been shelved? Perhaps time will disclose the true story of the alleged adjournment of polites. WHY NOT USE WOOD? The New York World, which is generally looked upon as the most determined supporter of the political movements of the administration in the press of the country, does not approve of what it calls the "interment" in the United States of General Wood. It feels impelled to say:: "The news that General Leonard Wood is to be kept in this country while the division whose training he is completing will go abroad under his second in command will give every fair-minded man a bad taste in the mouth." General Wood is an experienced and capable soldier. We need—the world needs—our best leaders in France and at once. Surely General Wood is the superior of at least some of the generals in France. It is a conservative statement to say that he is one of the ablest of all our generals. Why not place him where the country will get the greatest value from his talents? He had trained the 89th Division of the National Army at Camp Funston for overseas service. He had made a wonderful military body out of it. He had become the idol of his men. It was their mutual expectation that he would lead them when they went to France. On the eve of their departure he received an order separating him from his division and requiring him to remain behind. In his farewell address to the men, General Wood said:: "I have worked hard with you and you have done excellent work. I had hoped very much totake you over to the other side. The orders have been changed and I am going back to Funston. I wish you the best of luck and ask you to keep up the high standard of conduct and work you have in the past. There is nothing to be said. The orders stand, and the only thing to do is the best we can—all of us—to win the war. That's what you have been trained for. I shall follow your career with the deepest interest; with just as much interest as though I were with you. Good luck and God bless you." And thereupon the soldiers marched to their transports and General Wood took a train leading him to routine duties in the West. In point of service, experience, ability and military knowledge there is no soldier in the army of the United States who excels General Wood. With him in a responsible position in Europe there would be no trying out an experiment. It is to be hoped that the public sentiment of the people of the United States will be felt in the War Department and General Wood be placed where he can render his greatest service to his country and to the winning of the war. The army is full of good drill masters, but actual service and experience have stamped General Wood as one capable of leading on the battlefield and in the campaigns of war. 40,000 MORE SUMMONED Four Thousand to Get College Course and Become Experts. Washington, D. C.—Official announcement says 280,000 more will be called to the colors June 24. Fory thousand more of our young men were summoned for military service last week, to entrain between June 20 and 25. Ohio's quota will amount to 500. To provide technical men for the engineer, signal, medical quartermaster and ordinance branches of our regiments to be formed in the new draft, the War Department has announced many of our soldiers will be sent to schools and colleges this summer for special training in radio engineering, general engineering, electricity, auto mechanics, blacksmithing and the operation of motor vehicles. It is expected that eight regiments of fighting troops will be made from our draftees this year. Already there are two divisions, commanded by Major General C. C. Ballon and Brigadier General Roy C. Hoffman. Four thousand will be sent to Howard University, Tuskegee Institute, Hampton Institute, Agricultural and Technical College, Prarie View Normal and Industrial College, Agricultural and Normal School, Branch Normal School, Georgia State Industrial College, Florida A. and M. College, Atlanta University and Western University. Close to 157,000 Afro-American soldiers are now in the National Army. Of these, 1000 are line officers holding commissions of captain and first and second lieutenant. We have approximately 250 officers in the medical and dental-reserve corps, and there are openings in the veterinary corps. Two thousand volunteers between the ages of eighteen and forty, not subject to the draft, are needed. DOINGS OF THE RACE Prof. W. J. Hale has been re-elected president of the A. and J.

The ward has 577 more colored votes than white, yet Mr. Dickerson received 300 votes while his opponent received over two thousand. This recalls the similar experiences recently of our legislative" candidates in Pittsburgh. Colored Americans are the only race-group in any country fighting Germany who are now proscribing. They are the only race-group which has not made united and formal demand for full rights. "Ask it and it shall be given unto you," soith the scriptures.—Ex. A recent rally at Bethel A. M. E.

DELAYING GOVERNMENT WORLD As The Result of Miserable Race Discrimination—Attention, Mr. Charles Otis! Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—The American Ball Bearling Plant of The Standard Parts Co., of this city, is making, exclusively, munitions for our government which is fighting for "democracy". It is in dire need of mechanics and labor of all kinds, and is begging their present employees, white and colored, to recommend their friends to the plant for positions which they may be able to fill. And men those of color apply for some of the better positions they are capable of filling. They are given the common labor to do, and a large number of machines of all descriptions are standing idle because the manager will not put colored men to work at them. This same manager also issued an order to one of his colored foremen, on last Saturday, to tell the colored men to use a certain toilet in the blacksmith shop and also to use a certain wash-how, both of which are in a filthy condition at all times. No effort is being made to fix toilets or put them in a sanitary condition. This matter has been reported to the manager and different foremen on numerous occasions. The manager ought to be aware of the fact that the laws of Ohio require all factories to have toilets enough to have one for every 50 men. There are now employed in this plant in the neighborhood of 125 colored men. It is said that this is the only plant hereabouts that is making such discrimination at this time. A few days ago the badges which read "Foreman" were taken away from the three colored men who were foremen. The excuse offered was that it was a mistake for them to have such badges. Also one colored man was put to work on a machine for 15 minutes and at the end of that time was told that the operator had returned to work, so he went back to labor.—A. B. C. TRENTON HONORS ROBEETS Trenton, N. J.—Trenton has gone on record as honoring her son, Needham Roberts, one of the two Afro-American soldiers awarded gold palms in France, by sending the following cablegram: Private Needham Roberts, 369th infantry, U. S. Expeditionary Forces, France. I desire to extend to you the con- gratulations and thanks of the citi- zens of Trenton for your inspiring acts of bravery, which have not only reflected glory upon yourself, your city and your race, but which will live forever in the annals of American valor. Trenton is proud of you, her son, who has so gloriously up- held her best traditions on the battlefield. The name of Needham Roberts will have a cherished place in the remembrance of all patriotic Americans long after this conflict shall have ended. Trenton salutes you!

Administrative Order No. 34 The Public Utilities Commission, having under consideration the probable inability of natural gas companies to furnish an adequate supply to all their consumers during the coming winter, and the necessity of formulating more definite rules for the guidance of such public utility companies in disconnecting industrial and other consumers from the service, when necessary, during an emergency, to conserve the supply for domestic consumers and the order in which disconnection should be made, as well as the order in which the service should be restored when the emergency is passed, hereby adopts the following rules and regulations, towit: 1.

That all other consumers shall be designated as "Industrial Consumers" but for the purposes of disconnection or curtailment during an emergency, the following subdivisions of industrial consumers may be made, in cases where there is more than a sufficient supply of gas for domestic consumers as herein specified, but not a sufficient supply for all industrial consumers: A. Users who are not included in the domestic consumers class as herein specified, but who are engaged in preparing or preserving foodstuffs, or food producing plants, for such purposes only. B.

BALLOU CANT BACKTRACK Colored newspapers generally, carried recently a letter from Major Gen. C. C. Ballou to Mr. Emmet J. Scott, which he tries to explain "Bullou." It will be remembered—because it cannot be forgotten—that Gen. Ballou recently issued an order to the Colored soldiers at Fort Des Moines to keep in their places and thereby avoid friction with white people, etc. It was a humiliating insulting order, not only, as The Cleveland (O.) Gazette says, to Colored soldiers, but to the race. The General's letter to Mr. Scott in which he says he prosecuted and convicted the theater manager who refused a Colored soldier a seat, does not square the matter at all. The order was issued because this soldier demanded his right to enter the theater and get a seat. And chastising the theater manager while proper does not destroy the effect of the order, which still stands. The Gazette in a burning editorial, we wish we could reproduce, refuse to be placated and urges the race to make a determined effort to have the order rescinded and the General reprimanded. We agree with The Gazette. It is not a small local matter and we should resent it earnestly.—Louisville (Ky.) News.

If the six million colored people in this country, armed with the Constitution of the United States, with a million votes of their own to lean upon, and millions of white men at their backs whose hearts are responsive to the claims of humanity, have not sufficient spirit and wisdom to organize and combine to defend themselves from outrage, discrimination and oppression, it will be idle for them to expect that the Republican party or any other political party will organize and combine for them, or care what becomes of them.—Hon. Frederick Douglass. Lester Robinson, charged with the murder some months ago, of a "white" man in ward 11, was on trial from Tuesday to Menday noon in common pleas (criminal) court, Judge Levine. He was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to the Mansfield reformatory.

Sawyer, particularly the former who left no stone unturned in his effort toward Mr. Schwartz is certainly a conscientious and exceptionally capable attorney. The police say two "Negroes" held up the crew of an E. 105th street car early Sunday, after forcing the motorman to make no stops beyond Warner rd. and Bancroft ave. They fled after stopping the car in a lonely part of Garfield park. Herbert Cramer, conductor, lost $22 in cash and several hundred car tickets, while the motorman, Ernest Hall, lost $1.50. Cleveland is notated "from coast to coast and from the lakes to the gulf," as a "wide-open city," and it is but natural that "hold-up" men, all kinds of thieves, etc., tuck to the "mecan." This explains the reign of crime etc., in the Central Ave. district and elsewhere in the city for more than two years. It seems that it is useless to hope for material improvement until there is a change in the city control. The Maschke-Davis administration must go! Armand W. Scott, Esq., of Washington, D. C., Grand Exalted Ruler of our Elks of the U. S., arrived in the city. Tuesday, to attend the local organization's dance at "Dreamland," that evening, and its "Smoker" at the hall, Wednesday evening, when he delivered a stirring address. Both social functions were well attended and eminently successful. He was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Kersey, 2351 E. 55th St., while in the city, returning home. Thursday, accompanied by E. W. Sellers, Exalted Ruler of the local lodge, John H. Copson and Harry L. Kersey, also prominent members, Mr. Scott paid The Gazette magazine very pleasant visit. Tuesday afternoon. The Eastern Star's dance, Monday evening, at "Dreamland" was attended by about fifty persons. The small attendance was undoubtedly attributable to the failure to properly advertise the affair. At a joint board meeting at St. James A. M. E. church, Tuesday evening, the pastor's salary was raised from six to nine hundred dollars, dating from the first of this month. St. James is no longer a mission but is 25 years old and has taken its place among the real churches of this city. It is our pioneer east end congregation, and is looking forward to new quarters in the near future. One thing sure and that is, there is not a minister of the race in Cleveland and that outranks its pastor, Rev. Ow W. Childers as a Christian gentleman and a few, equal him. Our two churches in the east end are singularly fortunate in having pastors, (Revs. Childers and B. K. Smith) who are what they pretend to be: "No Starlight ten dollar business about them." Sorry, cannot say as much for some of our "Lunar Party" and other pastors in the Central Ave. district. St. James's slogan is "Watch Us Grow," and she certainly has been growing in all departments since Rev. Childers took charge. More power to him and the church! "THE MESS OF POTTAGE" An announcement informs us that the Cleveland Caterers' Association, with its recent dance, drew 1,967 "Negroes" to color-line Luna Park, and netted only $417.50 from the affair. It would be real interesting to know how much the park management made out of those 1,967 persons, thanks to the Caterers' Association. It undoubtedly strengthened the Luna Park management's determination to continue barring "Negroes" from its dance hall, skating rink and bathing pool. It could be compelled to open these places, too, to our people if they would only invoke the aid of our Ohio Civil Rights law—but it seems they will not do so. But what about an organization of "Negroes" that will "toll" thousands of its own people to a place like that merely to make a few patry dollars? Where is their manhood, self and race respect? What is that spineless Ministers' Alliance doing that it does not have a word to say about its disgraceful and harmful acts, but on the contrary permits members of its organization to actively participate in affairs at colorline Luna park as speakers, etc? Lord, have mercy on them! THAT BALLOU INSULT A White Friend of the Race Endorses Our Position—The Order Should Be Rescinded — Cleveland Ministers' Alliance Officers Madison, N. J., May 28, 1918. Editor Gazette, Dear Sirs:—I want to commend in toto and thank you, too, for the editorial, the week of May 25, '18, "Hallou' Blinder and Insult." You are the only colored editor, I have read, who showed the fallacy of his would be defender's argument. I have ceased writing for the press (during active ministerial service) but you have expressed my opinion and supported them exactly. Why the threat—"White men made the Division (924) and they can break it if it becomes a trouble maker." Your severe casignation, or arraignment, of local (Cleveland) "Ministers Alliance Officers" shows your fearless regard for civic righteousness. Were you not living above the common level of the ordinary church member and city politician you would not dare do this. Keep up the fight! and may God strengthen your arm, sharpen the sword and help you do much good in the name of the holy child Jesus. I have cut out the presidential petition, to disapprove the death sentence imposed upon the colored soldiers, and shall forward it as per request in The Gazette. Get up one like that for the Balloon order No. 25 asking that it be rescinded and that he be reprimanded and oblige. Your sincere admirer and well wisher. (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the consecrious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of Friends."—Charles Sumner.

LAMBERT'S BEVERA THE LAMBERT'S COMPANY THE LAMBERT'S COMPANY SINCE 1870 Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe after Reading a Copy of It SCIENCE AIDS MODERN CROOK ELECTRIC, DRILL CRACKSMAN'S FAVORITE TOOOL Dummy Safe is New Trick to Fool Police—Summer Season Thief's Harvest Time The detective bureau has classified and indexed all of the different kinds of criminals and has carefully noted their methods of work. The crook today is, if anything, more careful and cautious than his old time prototype, and in committing crime and trying to conceal it he is resorting more and more to science and invention. If the police have become more efficient in their methods, so has he, and it is not always an easy task to discover him and track him to his hair. The safe burglar, for example, used to take an hour or more to open a safe and the operation was done with a good deal of noise. Safes are better built today and are not so easy to get into, so there has been a decrease in the number of this kind of burglaries. When the crook does operate now he uses an electric drill and works almost noiselessly. The safe men who at present are giving the police trouble do not attempt to crack the large safes, but go after those used by small shopkeepers. These burglar have recently resorted to trickery in attempts to puzzle the police. After gaining entrance to a building, if the safe was in the front of the store where its outline could be seen from the street, they would drag it to the rear of the shop and substitute in its place a duplicate safe made of pasteboard. A few months ago thieves entered a cigar store in Lenox avenue, near 116th street, New York City. They dragged the safe to the rear of the store, and left one of these pasteboard affairs in its place. A passing policeman looked in the window. There was something about the safe which looked queer to him. He observed by the him light that its gilded lines were not quite straight. At first he thought the light was playing a trick on his eyes but a closer inspection convinced him that it was not the real store safe. He hurriedly summoned another policeman. They entered the store and caught three men working on the real safe. The loft burglar had quite a profitable time of it until the police found out his methods of work. He would conceal himself in a building before it was closed for the night. After the help had departed and the watchman was quite out of sight, he would help himself to the particular kind of loot he was after—bolts of silk, cloth or fur. This, with the aid of confederate, he would remove to a nearby cellar. If there was much booty to be removed he would sometimes use a wagon. The plunder would remain in such a cellar until such a time as the thief thought it could safely be carried away and disposed of. The advent of summer always brings thieves and burglars to town. It is the season when apartments and homes are closed or when windows and doors are frequently left open, making things easier for the thieves. The police department has issued a warning to householders not to let thieves know the family is away for the summer. Many persons on leaving their apartments pull down the window shades. This is always a sign to thieves that the tenant is away. A thief will observe such an apartment for several days. After he has convinced himself that the family is away he will break into the apartment and ransack it. The dumbwaiter thief is active at this season of the year. He works with a confederate. He is small and wiry, he gets on the dumbwaiter, and his companion in the basement hosts him to the floor of a deserted apartment. It is a simple matter for him to Jimmy the dumbwaiter door into the kitchen. Then there is the fire escape burglar. He reaches a fire escape from a roof or hall floor. Two such thieves usually work together, one as a lookout to sound a warning to his companion at the first sign of danger. A fire escape burglar has been operating about Washington Heights that the New York police would like to get. He has a peculiar sense of humor. After robbing his victims he takes pleasure in hiding their clothing in old places. In several precincts the police are warning householders to be on the lookout for bogus inspectors. This brief gets into a flat on the prefect that he has come to inspect the gas meter. When he departs something is found to be missing. A game now being tried by thieves is to call up a grocery store or wine shop and order several dollars worth of goods to be delivered at once to the apartment of Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones at such and such an address. The man giving the order requests the store to send change for $10. A delivery boy is sent to the house with the goods and the money. At the entrance to the house he is met by a man who asks him if he has the order for Smith. "I am Mr. Smith," the man says. "Give me the change for the $10, and I will run up to the apartment and get the money for you." Needless to say, he does not return, and on inquiry it found that no one by the name of Smith lives in the house. AS HE LOOTS PLACE Lays Limp Form on Bed, Then New York—Blackjack the maid, lay her gently on her bed, apply cold towels to her wounds, and rob the house thoroly between visits to the patient—this is the routine established by New York's newest character, the Tender-hearted Burglar. All this the Tender-hearted Burglar did the other night in the apartments of Mrs. Sadie Miller, 509 Cathedral Parkway. The loot was $800 in silverware, jewelry and money. The cold towels were Mrs. Miller's own monogramed best. The maid is now in Harlem Hospital. If she gets well it will be because of the timely first aid. Mrs. Miller, the wife of a traveling salesman, went with friends to the theater. There came a ring at the door. The maid opened it. There stood a big stranger who said he had come to deliver a package. The maid said nothing had been ordered, and, besides, Mrs. Miller was out. Before she could add another word the man seized her. Putting one hand over her mouth, he struck her on the head with a black jack. When she came to she was on her own bed. Beside her sat the burglar, carefully applying cold wet towels to her head She thinks she was so astonished that she immediately became unconscious again. The next time she came to the burglar was gone. She could hear him moving around. Presently he came back, changed the towels gently, and then tip-toed into Mrs. Miller's room. When the maid lapsed into unconsciousness the last time he was still dividing his energies between making clean sweep of Mrs. Miller's valuables and looking after his patient. When Mrs. Miller came home she found the maid unconscious and the apartment in disorder. She reported to Policeman Delaney of the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station, and Miss Konopaa, before being taken to the hospital, gave an unwilling description of her assailant-nurse. "But I hope they don't catch him," she said. "He was so nice and gentle." Mrs. Miller disagrees. BIRTH REGISTRATION Washington, D. C.—Where do you keep your children's birth certificates? Or don't you live in one of those up-to-date communities where a certified notice is sent to the parents of every registered baby? The Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, which is conducting a special campaign for complete registration of births, urges the importance of securing such a notice from the registrar and of treasuring it for the child's use in later life. A number of things come to one in the normal processes of life for which there is to-day a legal minimum age. Proof of age may be needed in school, for working papers, for voting, for marrying, for life insurance, or for securing a civil-service position. Or again, one may need to establish citizenship or the right of inheritance. In any one of a dozen ways a birth certificate may be a saving of trouble and expense; it may even save the life of a neutral citizen in time of war. Only when parents have received a notice of registration can they be absolutely certain, without making special inquiry, that their child's birth has been registered, for even in the "birth registration area"—the 11 States and the District of Columbia which the Census Bureau accepts as having fairly adequate records—there are some unregistered babies. Moreover, such a notice or registration is an excellent device for making birth records more complete. Mrs. S—receives a notice that Mary's birth has been registered and shows it to Mrs. T—who straightway wonders why the city did not pay her the same courtesy when Billy was born. Five States—Maryland, Michigan, New York, Virginia, and Wisconsin—and a few city health officers in other States send notices to the parents. The notice is often an attractive document; in some places it is adorned with a picture of a mother and baby. But if the notice is to serve the child as a proof of age in later years, it must be a signed and certified transcript of the facts entered on the official record. In States whose record follow the model form issued by the Census Bureau these facts include the name of the child and the date and place of birth; the sex of the child; the name of the father and the maiden name of the mother with the birthplace, age, color, and occupation of each; the number of children born to the mother and the number living; the name of the professional attendant; and the date on which the birth was reported. FOUR-IN-ONE CITY IS PLANNED Northern Indiana Towns May Join Their Boundaries. Hammond, Ind.—Preliminary steps were taken at a mass meeting of the Leading men of Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago, and Indiana Harbor to amalgamate the four cities under one municipal government. No opposition was voiced. The boundaries of the four cities now interlock. Consolidation would give the Indiana border a city of 100,000, the second in population in the state. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, OHIO. JUNE 15, 1918 WHALE SHARKS 70 FEET LONG JONAH SWALLOWED BY ONE NORWEGIAN BISHOP SAYS 'Man Eater' Which Roams all Temperate and Tropical Seas—Could Swallow Human Being The depredations of man eating sharks along the Atlantic seaboard lend an especially timely interest to a communication from Dr. Hugh M. Smith, the foremost American authority on fishes, addressed to the National Geographic Society, and issued as a bulletin. 'When giant fishes are mentioned, most people will at once think of the shark, among which, inneed, are found the largest fish now existing.' writes Dr. Smith. 'Of the many species of sharks noteworthy on account of their size there are about half a dozen which are preeminent. These differ much in their disposition, some being as harmless as doves and others the incarnation of ferocity. "The sleeper snark (Sommissia microcephalus), whose name fits it so admirably, appears to have developed its body at the gishess of its brain, for it is a sluggish, stupid glutton, about six times as long as an average man. At home in the Arctic regions, it sometimes makes visits as far south as Cape Cod, the British Isles, and Oregon. It is most often observed lying quietly on the surface, apparently dozing and easily approached, but at times, when hungry, it rouses itself and fiercely attacks whales, biting huge pieces out of their sides and tails, and when feeding on the carcass of a whale which has been killed by hunters it is so voracious that it perishes spears and knives to be thrust into it without seeming to take any notice. "One of the most prodigious and perhaps the most formidable of sharks is the man eater" (Carcharodon carcharias). It roams thru all temperate and tropical seas and everywhere is an object of dread. Its maximum length is 46 feet and its teeth are 3 inches long. While there are few authentic instances of sharks attacking human beings (prior to the recent tragedies), there have undoubtedly been many cases where sharks simply swallowed people who had fallen overboard, just as they would swallow any other food. How easy it would be for a man eater to devour a person whole may be judged from the finding of an entire 100 pound sea lion in the stomach of a 30 foot shark on the California coast. A certain man eater 36-12 feet long, had jaws 20 inches wide, inside measure, and teeth 2-12 inches long. This may have been the great fist of the scripture narrative, and it is possible that at that time much larger man eaters existed then are now known, as shark teeth with cutting edges on inches long have been found on the sea bottom, and these are believed by naturalists to have belonged to sharks not long dead. The phosphate hems of South Carolina yield very large fossil teeth of a shark which was related to the man eater of the present day. A Norwegian bishop in a leauno paper brought to the attention of the scientific and theological works a shark which he attempted to prove must have been the great fish that swallowed Jonah. This was the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus). known as the cephalant or bone snail, which is an inhabitant of the polar seas, but occasionally strays as far south as Virginia and California, and in former years was not rare on the United States and British coasts. The species has the haunt at times of collecting in schools at the surface and basking in the sun with its back parts out of water. It reaches a maximum length of fifty feet, and is exceeded in size by only three or four animals extant. Provided with small teeth, it feeds on fishes and floating crustaceans, and is not of a ferocious disposition. It is dangerous only by virtue of its great bulk, and when attacked its powerful tail easily demolishes boats. The largest of all fishes the largest of all cold blooded animals, and the largest of all existing animals, with the exception of a few species of whales, is the whale shark (Rhinehoeus typicus), originally described from Good Hope, but now known from India, Japan, South America, Panama, California and various other places, a small specimen having been obtained on the Florida coast a few years ago. This shark has a very broad and obtuse snout and an exceedingly wide mouth armed with numerous minute teeth; the dark colored body is marked with many small whitish spots. The species is stated to attain a length of 70 feet and is known to exceed 50 feet. Notwithstanding it immense size however, it is harmless to man unless attacked, and its feeds on the small creatures for which its teeth are adapted. Its huge bulk makes it dangerous in the same way that a whale is dangerous. Years ago it was reported that the sperm whale fishermen at the island of Saint Denis, in the Indian Ocean, dreaded to harpoon a whale snark by mistake and stories are to be a harpooned fish having by a lightning like dive exhausted the rope which had been accidentally fastened to the boat, dived deeper still and so pulled a pirogue and crew to the bottom." MAN ESCHEWS SO ?; GIRL AGREES TO WED So When Groom Proposed She Claimed to Clinch Diet of Solid Food. Zion City, Ill.—There will be no soup served in the home of the Frank L. Paxtons. Frank agreed to this detail when he declared his intentions. "I'll do your cooking," whispered Miss Garnant, "but there'll never be any soup in our house. You must agree to that." And Frank thereupon eschewed soup forever. For twelve years Miss Ethel Garnant of Waukee had soup for breakfast, soup for luncheon, and soup for dinner. When 6 years old she suffered a contraction of the esophagus. As a result she was unable to swallow solid food and for months her life was despaired of. Her weight decreased to thirty-eight pounds and the she grew to be 5 feet 2 inches tall, it was not until a physician sent her to her uncle's farm to live on a cream diet that she attained the obese dignity of ninety pounds. Then came a journey to a sanitarium. "They're going to 'dynamite' you," a nurse informed her one morning. "The doctors have decided it is the only way to bring you back to health." "Shoot!" said Miss Garnant. And they did. First, as the young woman herself relates it, she was made to swallow yards and yards of tape. Then a capsule containing a mysterious powder was threaded thru the tape and swallowed. Soon the digestive juices dissolved the capsule, and caused an "explosion" of gas so powerful that Miss Garnant lapsed into insensibility. She recovered consciousness and looked at the doctor and nurses inquiringly. "We're going to give you a little light food," they told her. "Say, a planked steak, lyonnaise potatoes, a salad, and a few other things like that." Then Miss Garnant broke down and cried, for the hunger of twelve years was about to be appeased. She didn't cry the other day, tho, for in the meantime she'd had that decisive conversation with Frank L. Paxton, and together they had journeyed to the county clerk's office for a souplest marriage license. BIRTH REGISTRATION U. S. Department. of Labor Children's Bureau Washington. Wash., D.C.—Suppose a legacy were left you, a native American citizen, by a relative in a distant State or in a foreign country. Could you establish your parentsage and receive the inheritance? An official birth certificate, perhaps, would be the only valid evidence. Could you furnish it? Can your child furnish it? Suppose your son were living abroad and military laws were about to force him into the trenches. Could you send him an official certificate of his birth, with his name, and yours, and the place where he was born, so as to establish his American citizenship without question and save him from the firing line? Sometimes the laws of the United States demand adequate registration of births if they are not to work hardship. There was the young daughter of an immigrant Swede. He wanted this child who was born in the United States to see his home, and he took her with him on a visit to Sweden. But the strain and excitement were too much for his falling strength, and he died soon after reaching his boyhood home, leaving his daughter an orphan. Her friends were all in this country, and she determined to return. The courage that took her 'Ellis Island was severely tested when she was told there that as an unprotected minor she could not enter the country unless she could prove her claim to American citizenship. Much time and trouble were spent in looking for the record of her birth, but none could be found. Kind-hearted friends continued to search for some witnesses, and finally they found the doctor who had attended her mother when she was born, but who had failed to report the birth as the law required him to do. The kindly fate he was it happened that the doctor was still alive and that this young girl had friends willing and able to search him out alone prevented her becoming a girl without a country. Should we be so careless of losing our citizens for lack of an official record of their coming into the world? Only 11 States and the District of Columbia have birth records which the Census Bureau accepts as fairly adequate, and even in this "birth registration area" the records are seldom 100% complete. The Federal children's Bureau urges each community in the country to see that all the children born within its boundaries receive the fundamental protection of an official record of bord. INDIAN ART IN DRESS GOODS Textile Designers Now Study Museum Curios for Patterns. New York—Difficulty in obtaining new patterns for dress fabrics and other textiles from abroad has caused designers from all parts of the United States to avail themselves of the stores of American primitive and Indian art in the American Museum of Natural History here. Manufacturers of pottery and of various other wares also are sending their experts to the museum for ideas. About two-thirds of the bread cost upon the waters isn't returnable. BOTTOM OF OCEAN TREASURE STREWN BOTTOM OF OCEAN TREASURE STREWN MAY YET BE WON BY DEEP SEA DIVERS Improved Outfits May Enable Men to Invade Ocean Depths Never Be Must all the millions of dollars that now lie at the bottom of the sea in the form of ships and their sunken treasure be forever lost to the world? Most of the vessels that have been sunk, whether by accident or in the course of the great war lie in comparatively shallow waters, many of them at a depth of less than 300 feet, and the problem of their recovery does not seem entirely nopeous in the light of recent improvements in deep sea diving and the feats accomplished by the expert divers of the United States Navy. The matter is the subject of an article in the current number of the bulletin of the Fan-American Union, Washington. In discussing the organization of companies in the United States whose purpose is the recovery of some of the wealth now lying in the ocean's depth, the writer says: "Certain it is that the project of recovering sunken ships, or the most valuable of the treasures that have gone down with them is more feasible now than it was only four or five years ago. Such great improvements in diving apparatus have been made that it is now possible for a diver to operate for a limited time even at the great depth of 300 feet below the surface. These improvements are large due to the remarkable experiments in deep sea diving conducted under the auspices of the bureau of construction and repair of the Navy department of the United States in 1914. Prior to this time the greatest depth reached by divers was 210 feet, two English officers having accomplished that feat during a series of tests carried on 1/2 the British admiralty in 1907. For the benefit of those who do not appreciate the difficulty of diving to such depths it may be stated that at a depth of 10 feet below the surface the pressure is 4.33 pounds per square inch of surface the body submerged. This pressure increases proportionately and at a depth of 100 feet it has increased to 43.3 pounds and at a depth of 300 feet to 129.9 pounds. "Notwithstanding this tremendous pressure the expert divers of the United States Navy have succeeded in not only reaching a depth of 300 feet but in remaining at that depth for from five to twenty minutes at a time, making examinations in regard to a sunken vessel that made its subsequent salvage possible. This work was done in connection with the raising of the United States submarine F-4 which, it will be remembered, punged to the bottom of the sea just off the harbor of Honolulu on March 25, 1915. Not only did the divers establish a new world's record for deep sea diving upon that occasion, but the subsequent raising and recovery of the F-4 is the only instance in history where a sunken vessel was recovered from a depth of 300 feet." The writer thereupon gives a brief sketch of the history of diving as a useful art from the time of Aristotle down to the present, and after describing a modern diving outfit and explaining in some detail the matter of the diver's being subjected to two pressures, viz. the pressure of the air inside the helmet and suit and the external pressure of the water, continues as follows: The necessity of having the air pressure within the diving dress compensate the external water pressure, thus subjecting the diver to pressure directly proportioned to the depth to which he descends, is the dangerous element in deep sea diving. At a depth, for instance of 100 feet, a diver must be subjected to a pressure of four atmospheres or 60 pounds per square inch, in order to compensate the external water pressure. Exposure to such pressure is apt to be followed by dangerous physiological effects, commonly known as 'caution disease', the symptoms of which include pains in the muscles and joints, commonly called bends, deafness, embarrassed breathing, vomiting, fainting, etc., sometimes resulting in death. They do not appear while the pressure is being raised nor so long as it is being continued, but only after it has been removed; and the view now accepted is that they are due to the rapid effervence of the gases which are absorbed in the body fluids during exposure to pressure. "Experiment has proved that when the pressure is suddenly relieved the gas is liberated in bubbles within the body, and that these do the harm. Set free in the spinal cord, for instance, they may cause partial paralysis, or in the heart lead to stoppage of the circulation. It has been found, however that if the pressure is relieved gradually the bubbles are not formed, because the gas comes out of solution slowly and is got rid of by the heart and lungs. To prevent these effects, the withdrawal of the air pressure—in other words, the decompression—could be slow. Hence the divers' ascent must be regulated accordingly, and the deeper he has been the slower and longer must be the perious for decompression. SLY FOX DESERVES THIS REPUTATION This Little Animal is Recognized the World Over as Hunter's Trickiest Prey. In every country the fox is the synonym for cunning, and he well merits the appellation. From centuries of chasing he has developed an acuteness little short of human, and if it were not for the trained fox- hounds man might hunt him in vain until he died of old age. As it is there is many a sly fox who has baffled the hunters for years. Stories are numerous among hunters about the cunning of Mr. Reynard, and here are three of the best: In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a fox had been started, and thirty-five hounds and a half dozen riders were in lively pursuit. The trail led among the fields and over the hills for several miles, and then took the hounds to the turnpike. There, in the middle of the pike, the scent was lost. The dogs maneuvered and beat about here, there and everywhere, but the trail could not be found. A teamster on his way to town with a load of hay had passed the spot where the trail was lost in the pike only a minute before the hounds burst on the road in full cry. The teamster stopped on seeing the pack and the riders following them to watch the result of the maneuvering. "Which way did he go?" asked the hunters. "Dunno!" shouted the teamster, "didn't see him." Then the teamster drove on, and the hunters gave up the chase, declaring that there had never been such an inexplicable loss of a fox trail. After going a mile or two the teamster stopped his horses to talk to an acquaintance he met on the road, and as they were talking the fox jumped out of the hay at the rear end of the wagon and trotted leisurely away to cover. "Well, that beats me!" said the teamster, and told his friend about the way the hunters lost the trail. They both concluded that the only explanation of it was that the fox had jumped into the road just behind the toad of hay as it was passing, and, being a cunning old customer, had jumped on the hay and burrowed into it out of sight before the dogs came up in full cry. There in sung retreat he doubtless enjoyed the discomfiture of both hounds and hunters. Another day, a party of hunters with a large pack of hounds were led a long and circultus chase by a fox, and at last the animal took refuge in a farm garden. There the scent was lost and could not be recovered, and the chase was finally abandoned. An hour later, as the farmer was making his rounds, he was surprised to see the fox jump out of a big garbage oven in the garden, the door of which was six feet from the ground, and hurry away to its native hills. During another chase in Land's Valley, Pa., the fox led the hunters and dogs a long chase over a hard country and then struck for the place. After following the pike a long distance the fox took to the fields again and then the dogs lost the scent. The chase lasted until late in the afternoon, and it was not until sunset that the fox's hiding place was discovered, and then only by accident. The sly animal had actually entered a farm yard and taken refuges in the kennel of one of the very hounds that was in the chase. BETTER WATCH OUT; GERMS 'LL GIT YE'! Warnings of the "Old Docs" Don't Worry Night "Cop." It is impossible for a person of imaginative temperament to read without a tremor the pronouncement of the medicine men that door knobs and the like are teeming with bacterial life and dripping with microbes. As the mind fills in the details of the picture, the horrors multiply. To board a street car becomes an operation fraught with extreme peril, for the hand that grasps the handle clasps a handful of germs. Consequently Mr. Imagination walks to work, and, arriving late, seizes the knob of his office door only to let go appalled with the thought that the pacilli upon-its shining surface are more numerous than the inhabitants of the globe. Braving the dangers that threaten in the lunch hour, he approach, the polished brass handle of the restaurant door with a shudder as he pictures it swarming with enemies, like a lively with bees. In the midst of life he is deathly afraid of the spies of the invisible empire of disease that dog his steps, poison his peace of mind, and scare him stiff. Pretty soon he takes to his bed, and after a while he finds in a nice, antiseptic cemetery an opening for which he is fitted. But Mr. Night Hawk, the policeman, who tries the door knob of every store on his beat at least once a night, and who doesn't know a microbe from a bathrobe, lives to a ripe old age. Nothing to Speak Of. "The rabbit has a short body, long ears and a short tail, nothing to speak of, tho," said the teacher, explaining her blackboard drawing of a rabbit. The next day a fox was drawn and explained, then, turning to her class, the teacher asked: "Who can tell me anything about the rabbit I drew yesterday? Yes, Rupert," she encouraged a bright 7-year-old. "The rabbit has a tail," exulted Rupert, "but we mustn't talk about it." DOROTHY ARNOLD IS STILL MISSING AGED FATHER OF THE GIRL WHO VANISHED DECLARES NOW THAT SHE IS DEAD SEARCH COST HUNDRED THOUSAND An Entire Absence of Any Motive One Striking Feature of the Case. New York.—Six years have passed since Dorothy Horiette Camille Arnold kissed her mother good-by at her home, 108 East Seventy-ninth street, and went away upon a shopping trip from which she never returned and in the course of which she left no clew to lead to a solution of the mystery of her disappearance. Six years, however have not been enough to blunt popular recollection of the case. Reports still come to the family that the girl has been seen; that inquiry in such and such a place may yield trace of her, and that information which will determine her fate may be had for a price. Patiently, though with no hope that any of these reports will bear fruit, the family and its representatives give due consideration to these reports. None of them has brought to light a single thing that was not established during the police investigation which immediately followed. "My daughter is dead," Francis R. Arnold, the father recently said without faltering in the conviction he reached within three months of the disappearance. Mr. Arnold is now nearly 80 years of age. The money that has been spent in the prosecution of the search for Dorothy Arnold has now considerably exceeded $100,000. It has made it possible to establish a good many negative things. Of the positive things there are no more than the four that have been known from the first. They are these: At 11:30 o'clock on the morning Miss Arnold left her home, telling her mother that she would be home for dinner. At noon Miss Arnold bought a box of candy at the store of Park & Tilford, Fifth avenue and Sixth street. At 1:30 o'clock Miss Arnold bought a copy of "An Engaged Girl's Letters" at Brentano's, Fifth avenue and Twentieth-sixth street. At 2:45 o'clock Miss Arnold met a girl acquaintance at Fifth avenue and Thirtieth street and talked with her for a few moments. Beyond these facts nothing was established, though to the private detectives called in there was soon added the Police Department, and to the Police Department the resources of Scotland Yard and of most of the public authorities of the United States. Thousands of circulars containing the completeest description of -Miss Arnold were distributed throughout the world. Tens of thousands of reproductions of a dozen different pictures of her appeared in the newspapers. Classmates of Miss Arnold at Brym Awr, extended the systematic search for her beyond the limits to which authorities would carry it. But none of these agencies ever accomplished anything. One of the most striking aspects of the Arnold case has been the complete absence of motive. Francis R. Arnold, the father, had been for years a prosperous importer of perfumes. The family lived well, if not luxuriously. Miss Arnold's social position was pleasant, although she had few interests that went on from day to day. There was no other "love affair" in her life than a friendship with George S. Griscom Jr. of Pittsburg, who returned from Florence within a short time to demonstrate that he had no knowledge of her whereabouts. No suggestion that could ever be substantiated arose that Miss Arnold had been kidnapped or was being detained against her will. The inevitable assumptions of foul play have no more concrete basis than the possibility that Miss Arnold deliberately left home and has since been successful in thwarting discovery. Formal search of Miss Arnold extended over a period of three months only. When she did not return to her home the family was surprised but not glarmed. When the next day brought no word from her the matter was put in the hands of private detectives. It was not, however, until after a month that the case was put before the Department of New York Police and was allowed to be made public through the newspapers. In the course of the ensuing four weeks District-Attorney Whitman offered the service of his office to Arnold and had them declined. Within a few days thereafter the case became so far as the Police Department was concerned an "open" one. This meant that it had not been solved, but that no more system of the work was being done on it. Since that spring the search has been in the hands of the family and its lawyers.
