The Simmons-Bundy meeting at Cory M. E. church, Monday evening proved to be more or less of an exciting affair. It seems that while Roscoe Simmons was delivering his stereotypic patriotic camouflage in his accounted pleasing way a large streak of jealousy cropped out on the part of at least one individual in the audience that resulted in Roscoe's being treated with discounty, that ought have been visited upon him in a hall of his own. Shortly after his introduction by Jackson, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, who presided, the pastor of Cory church, so we are informed, interrupted him with a question which was not pertinent and received a reply which held him for a while. This was repeated, so those in the audience say, resulting in more caustic replies, comment and references from Roscoe. Not satisfied, so our informant says, O'Connell, the pastor of the church, who sat immediately on the floor, in fact that Roscoe talked over two hours, began pulling out his watch and looking at it, in such a way that Roscoe could not help but notice it. This did not add anything to the serenity of either, or some of the audience. In. opening his address, Roscoe, for some unaccountable reason, though announced to do so, refused to talk on the Dr. Leroy Bundy-East St. Louis, in. case, and at the conclusion of the meeting, he announced that large crowd surged out of the church, refusing to wait to hear Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, whom Jackson was trying to introduce, so we are informed. The meeting opened at about 8:40 p.m. The crowd was such that the door receipts were about $770. This does not include the funds from tickets sold elsewhere than at the church, Monday evening. It is estimated that about $770 would be the fact that Roscoe's match between Roscoe and O'Connell, which resulted so disastrously to the latter, was very generally commented upon up-town for several days after the meeting, which seems to have been "hit a hard blow" by the N. A. A. C. P. announcement on page 1. NATIONAL WOMEN'S CLUB Officers Elected Recently—Lynching Denounced—Contribute. $75,000. Denver, Colo.—Mrs. Mary B.

WHITE OFFICER DISMISSED From the Army for Neglecting One of the Most Important Jobs in the Buy Earn Million of Bonds. Washington, D. C. — H is reported that a number of our physicians will soon be commissioned as officers in our regiments. None have been commissioned for many months. Hon Emmet J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, is carefully pressing the commissioning of more of our physicians. He has contributed to and accelerated the death of an Afro-American soldier through gross neglect of duty, Lieut. Joseph C. Robinson (white) of the Medical Reserve Corps, has been sentenced to be dismissed from the army and to serve one year imprisonment at hard labor, the War Department has announced, Lieut. Robinson's trial grew out of the death of Wardell C. Van Tassell, cocurul Mr. Joseph C. Robinson. It was charged the medical officer mule, a careless diagnosis of Van Tassell's ailment and failed to furnish proper medical relief. Our women of the U. S. raised about $5,000,000. for the third Liberty Loan, according to a report from Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of our National Association of Women, "Savannah, Ga., alone raised a quarter of the total population." Poor Afro-American women in a tobacco factory at Norfolk, Va., subscribed $01,000, Macon, Va., subscribed $20000. Another good reason why lynching should be stopped all the various color-lines and segregation (on the ground of color or race) discontinued in the governmental service which includes the army, navy, departmental units, and at least) doing work for the government. And the "jim-crow" race of the South eliminated. 50.000 More Called! Washington, D. C., Fifty thousand more Afro-American registrants qualified for general service, were called to the colors Tuesday, by Provost Marshal Crowder. They will entrain between August 1 and 5 and will come from forty-one states and the District of Columbia, Ohio's quota, it is announced, will be 2,610 and the men will be sent to Camp Sherman. When they are sworn in there will be 250,000 Afro-Americans in the new National and regular armies of the U. S. --- Prol. Reid to He Removed Wilson, N. C.-Prompted by petitioners numerously signed by the best element of our citizens in this board of the board of the university community J. D. Reid, principal of the Wilson graded schools, Reid, a member of the race, allowed Superintendent Coon (white) to slap the face of Miss Mary Euell, also a member of the race, when she objected to offensive language used in her presence. Reid has been accused of other conduct unbecoming a principal. The petitioners were practically assured that he would be removed as soon as another selection could be made. IS DUBOIS A TRAITOR? His Captaincy and Surrendering Crisis Editorial Cause a Big Stir in the N.A.A.C.P. Dubois, One-Time, Radical Iqader, "Deserts and Beaches' Cause of Hurricane" (From the Boston Guardian) Wm. E. Burghardt Baurd, once crowned leader of the radical, uncompromising contenders for full equality, for identical rights of every kind with all other Anglicans, has at last finally weakened, misled, misused and betrayed by his race. For some time this man, this former leader, or for a time leader of the colored opposition to Dr. Boeke T. Washington, when he was the spokesman for the colored people accepted by white Americans, has been weakening. It has been painful for the editor of the Guardian who persuaded this literary geopolis to Dr. Duffois lowering mobility. It was the Guardian which first put him forth as the best man to lead the fight for equality, human brotherhood and liberty. But in the July "Crisis", a magazine that has brought easier times to the former head of the "Ningar Movement", the compromise, the surrender, the betrayal is made. "Closing Ranks" in the July number of "The Crisis" in the leading editorial Dr. Duffois, after paving the way with the strange statement, "That which German power represents today spells death to the aspirations of Negroes and all darker races for equality freedom and democracy," he flatly urges—"Let us, while this war lasts, forget our special grievances. WITH OUR OWN WHITE FREEDOM CITIZENS AND THE ALLied NATIONS THAT ARE FIGHTING For Democracy." There is no need of wasting or mining words. Any man who in the midst of a world war, for world democracy arises, before this country has abolished any of its federal denials of democracy, before single citizen civil or political equality is removed by law or the action of the white citizenship, urge his race to "forget our special grievances," is not only no longer a radical, he is a compromise friend of the fight for rights; he betrays his race in the great crisis and, at the time when the greatest oppressor in the world opposes in demanding for itself equality and liberty while it fights in the war for democracy for all others. BITTERLY OPPOSED To His Collection and Use of Moneys—Want Him to Work For His Living—Too Many Attorneys Employed, Etc. New York City, July 20, 18. account for funds which Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People makes the Dr. Bundy, there is no following public statement concerning which part of the pledge its relation to. Dr. Leroy N. Bunny, of East St. Louis, III, with whose defense against the charge of what he does with it,plicity in the East St. Louis riots of July, 1917, the association has hereafter been associated: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is no longer connected in any way with the further defense of Dr. Levy N. Bandy. The St. Louis, Mo. branch of the N. A. A. C. P, under whose immediate supervision the national headquarters had placed all matters connected with the defense of Dr. Bandy, informed the national officers, some weeks ago that it wished to withdraw from further responsibility for the defense of Dr. Bandy, owing to the conditions established by the N. A. A. C. P, for the proper management of the Bandy defense and for the collection, disbursement and accounting of funds. The national board of directors and the executive officer of the N. A. A. C. P, deferred action regarding the matter, notwithstanding the recommendation of its St. Louis branch, pending a full consideration of all the circumstances of the case, including the opportunity given Dr. Bandy to be heard in proceedings of the association's representatives in St. Louis. Following a request of Dr. Bandy that he be given a hearing by the national board of directors, a committee was appointed by the board to hear and pass upon his version of his relationship with the St. Louis branch. This committee appointed a special time, agreeable to Dr. Bandy, and met with him on July 11, in New York at the office of Charles H. Stuart, chairman of the H. Stuart association, of the hearing upon the alleged ground that he was not represented by his own attorney and did not have his own stenographer present. Dr. Bandy refused to make a detailed statement in explanation of his relations with the St. Louis branch. His demeanor throughout the hearing impressed the committee as lacking in frankness and was characterized by an apparently strong desire to avoid disclosing the real facts in the situation to the committee. He was willing to make and upon the well authenticated facts in the case, the committee came to the following conclusions: 1. That the N. A. A. C. P. had employed competent and well known attorneys to defend Dr. Bundy and that these attorneys were and are ready to defend him whenever his case comes to trial. The attorneys' in question were employed under the personal supervision of the Hon. Charles Nagel of St. Louis, former Secretary of Commerce under President Taft, and a member of the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P. These lawyers were employed with the approval and consent of Dr. Bundy and are among the most prominent attorneys of the bar where the trial is to take place. The N. A. A. C. P. has already paid them the sum of $1500 as fees to represent Dr. Bundy. 2. That all the professional assistance required for Dr. Bundy's trial has been provided by the N. A. A. C. P. Further, the national headquarters at all times stood ready to raise all the funds necessary for Dr. Bundy's further defense needs. 3. That since Dr. Bundy has been given over the country collecting funds for the alleged purpose of engaging additional lawyers whose services are in our judgment entirely unnecessary for the proper conduct of his case. 5. That, although the N. A. A. C. P. had provided him with the services of two excellent law firms, Dr. Bundy now claims that he wants in addition three more firms to assist in the trial of his case; to one of these, he states that the attorney for, of course, $2,000 is to be paid, to another $1,000 has already been paid, and to the third another fee has been promised. In the judgment of the committee, assuming that Dr. Bundy's statement is true that he, or others on his behalf, are paying money for these lawyers, this multiplicity of lawyers can be explained by the application of work for which other retained attorneys have already been paid and which they are prepared to perform. 6. That Dr. Bundy has used at least part of the funds collected by him for the support and maintenance of himself and his wife, and he refuses to support himself in any other way pending his trial than upon the proceeds of funds raised for his defense. 7. That Dr. Bundy has declined to account for funds which have been contributed to him for his defense. In view of this attitude on the part of Dr. Bundy, there is no method by which that part of the public which gives him its money will ever be able to compel him to render an account of what he does with it. For the aforesaid reasons, the committee recommends that no further contributions on behalf of Dr. Bundy's defense be solicited or received by the N. A. A. C. P. or any of its branches. The committee believes that a great imposition may be practiced upon the public if Dr. Bundy is permitted to solicit and receive money for his defense. The matter that has been following The A. A. C. P. has made it a principle never to receive money for any purpose which was not entered in its regularly audited books and which it would not account for upon request. It cannot countenance any departure from such procedure and is of the opinion that any other practice may become the source of a scandal which would bring shame to the cause of the colored people. The following examples, which speak for themselves, are taken from the stenographic report of the hearing granted Dr. Bundy by the legal committee of the association: Mr. Studin: "What is your source of income?" Dr. Bundy: "In any way I could get it. Mr. Studin: "Had you worked?" Dr. Bundy: "I don't think that concerns you." Mr. Studin: "Have you lived on contributions that have been made to you by people who are spending money for your defense?" Dr Bundy: "No, s'. I have not." Mr. Studin: "How have you lived?" Dr Bundy: "That does not concern you." Mr. Studin: "Have you ingréd any bills that you think the National Association is responsible for?" Dr Bundy: "Yes." Mr. Studin: "What bills?" Dr Bundy: "All bills." Mr. Studin: "Will you name them?" Dr. Bundy: "No." Mr. Baldwin: "How much do they amount to?" Dr., Bundy: "I don't recall." Mr. Studin: "In round numbers?" Dr. Bundy: "I don't know." Bundy: "I don't know." Mr. Studin: "That were they for?" Dr. Bundy: "I am through with this conversation." Mr. Studin: "Did you ever say to the St. Louis branch that you expected them to support yourself and your wife until the trial?" Dr. Bundy: "I can explain that. They said they refused to let me go out and make lectures whereby I might raise funds for the purpose of assisting myself in living during the term between March and September, I said, 'Will you furnish me money to support myself?'" Mr. Studin: "Was it your idea that you should go out and raise money to pay your personal living expenses?" Dr. Bundy: "Yes." Mr. Studin: "That is your present idea?" Dr. Bundy: "Yes, that is my idea now." Mr. Studin: "How do you propose to raise money for your defense?" Mr. Bundy: "Do the best. I can." Mr. Studin: "Are you going to work?" Dr. Bundy: "I cannot. Why should I work?" Mrs. Bundy: "Perhaps he doesn't have to work." (Signed) CHARLES H. STUDIN- Chairman, Legal Committee. (Signed) JOHN R. SHILLADY, Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Jack Johnson Lost Madrid, Spain — A short time ago, here, the once great battler, weighing 245 lbs., took on "Blink" McCloskey, a Philadelphia, middleweight, in a handicap bout. The condition was that Johnson had to knock out his 165-lb. foe in four rounds or lose the purse of $3,000. Johnson lost it. Not only did he fail to stop McCloskey, but he also failed to stop many of the former welterweight's jabs and swings. When the four rounds' had come to an end McCloskey was not much the worse for the twelve minutes of duelling, whereas Johnson looked pretty well bitten up. 300,000 a Month London, England—Two hundred thousand American troops are being sent overseas every month on British controlled ships and 100,000 reach American vessels. It was announced Tuesday in the House of Commons. IN UNION IS STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Sweeping Everything Before Them 'While They Shout and Sing—Great Fighters As Usual —With the American Armies on the Marine, France, July 18th. The Afro- American troops are sweeping every thing before them in their attack against the German fifth offensive. Alone they have taken many towns and villages and are steadily advanc- ing on their end-of the line of attack shooting and singing as they go. Their move appears to have been a surprise to the Germans, judging by the map which shows a great area of enemy troops who it is said had been preparing for this great drive for the past three months behind these scenes. Any number of times had they requested the favor of being permitted to take over part of the line of attack, although they had been holding a piece of French sector for the last three months without relief. Today they assumed a front line position and broke through the enemy's made by the Germans. The enemy's left-flung was menaced so badly that the German officers quickly gave orders to draw in their line of troops from this end of the front. An eye witness says our boys refused to stay in their dugouts but almost ran in their advance over the first, second and third line barriers, rapidly went. Today they remained entire possession of the river North-West of Chateau Thierry, that had been lost in the early fighting by the French army. Repetately our troops were attacked by the Huns but they were broken up and driven back under a deadly barrage for nearly a mile. The enemy was totally surprised at the action of the black troops, who Toughened the enemy and seemed to care nothing for their lives as they advanced. They left their white comrades behind in their eagerness to win the day. To one encampment, where there were 5,000 Afro-Americans, Gen. Pershing sent word that he wanted 1,500 men for a particularly dangerous feat. So they led up the 5,000 men and asked every man who was willing to volunteer to take on step forward. The whole 5,000 stepped. one step forward—and they had to select the 1,500. OUR GREATEST SCHOLAR And Diplomatist's Widow, Mrs. E. W. Blyden, Dead—Her Interesting New York City—Mrs. Edward W. Blyden, aged 83, died, July 13, in Lincoln Hospital. She was the widow of the late Dr. Edward W. Blyden, our greatest scholar, the noted African educator and for many years a diplomatic representative of the Republic of Liberia. She left Liberia in 1892 with her oldest daughter and a son, and she moved to New York, with whom she lived up to 1901. Then she left for England and joined her husband, who was then minister to the court of St. James from the Liberian Republic. She was presented to Queen Victoria by her distinguished husband, and she held a medal from King Edward and the present Queen Mother Alexandra that was forwarded to her from Buckingham palace when King Edward ascended the throne in 1892. She returned to the U. S. after her reception by Queen Victoria and a brief visit to the Liberian Republic, and again lived with her son, to March, 1915. She became quite feeble and helpless after the death of Dr. Blyden, which took place in the British Colony of Sierra-Leone, West Africa, Feb. 7, 1912. Her son being unable further to provide the necessary comforts of life for her, through admission was secured for her to the home department of Lincoln Hospital, where she died. She leaves, besides her son, three grand-daughters and one great-granddaughter. Bert Williams was accorded an enthusiastic welcome when he appeared before a large and representative audience on the New Amsterdam Roof, last week Monday night—or to be more exact—Tuesday morning. After his last number he was applauded to the echo for nearly five minutes. In fact, he stopped the show for the next couple of minutes, followed and was past 1 o'clock. The renowned comedian did not go on until 1 o'clock. In the Ziegfeld-Midnight Frolic Bert Williams is using new material in every particular—new songs, new jokes and new dances, and everything went over big. State K. P.

SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1918. Dr. Booker T. Washington never took a more damaging-position orrace matters of vital interests than has Captain "Web." DuBois, editor of the Crisis. Et tu Brute! Financially, Henry Ford is thoroughly equipped to make a good candidate for the senate. His contribution to the election of the Democratic national ticket in 1916 showed that. The Republican party believes in winning the war and at once. It does not believe in fighting it on the installment plan. Let Russia be helped back into the war and—re-establish the eastern front. Our old friend Carranza, the beneficiary of all that "watchful waiting," continues to play the German game. When our troops return from Germany a few army corps should be routed back by way of Mexico City. Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts put to flight about twenty-five Germans in a fight in No Man's Land. The French commander cited them for bravery. Yet such men cease to be citizens when they cross Mason and Dixon's line going South. Isn't it about time for their country to have justice done them? Senator Williams of Mississippi is opposed to women voting because, by possibility, it might enable our women of the South to vote. By possibility, the southern chivalry might promptly steal the vote by methods not unknown in the South and thus with certainty increase their loaded political dice in the electoral college and in Congress. It is just as easy to nullify the Constitution against women as against men. There were in 1916 just 1,870,000 votes cast in the eleven Southern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee Texas and Virginia. In the one state of New York the same year, there were 1,706,354 votes. In Ohio 1,165,000. The eleven states named controlled 126 votes in the electoral college as against New York's 45 and Ohio's 24. The South favors a maximum of representation with a minimum of taxation and it comes pretty near getting it. The authorizing of the calling of Afro-American nurses by the War Department is the second or third good thing for the race that has already been accomplished by the great Afro-American conference held in Washington, D. C., a few weeks ago. It was one of the many things "put up to" the Government by that great meeting of Afro-American leaders. Watch for a satisfactory settlement of Col. Chas. Young's case, a statement denouncing lynching from President Wilson, action against it by the Congress, etc., etc. The Gazette is not alone in its appreciation of the good work our friend, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant secretary of war, is doing for the race, for all of our people are noting it with a deal of satisfaction. It is just what we expected, however. In our next issue we shall have something to say of Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, former mayor of this city, that we feel will be as interesting to our readers and confreres of the race press as it will be to that gentleman and his friends of both classes (races.) A most unfortunate situation, indeed is that created by the differences of opinion on the part of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy and the N. A. A. C. P. as to the mode of procedure in arranging for his defense in the courts of Illinois, this fall. His life, or liberty for many, many years, is at stake and something should be done at once to eliminate the most unfortunate condition of affairs indicated by the N. A. A. C. P. publication on our first page. However since we have not had a statement of Dr. Bundy's side of the controversy, it might be well to suspend judgment in the matter until it, too, has been given to the public. There are always two sides, at least, to such affairs. GERMAN PROPAGANDA We believe that German propaganda was what caused those Georgia and Texas "crackers" to lynch five or six men and one woman of the race in each state recently. That is how it is getting in its work. Then there is no denying the fact that lynchings, discrimination against and segregation of our people in governmental department work at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the country and other rank injustice, based upon the southern color-line, in and out of the army and navy, doing much to increase a growing feeling among our people throughout the country that it will be well for the government to note and prepare to wipe out in the proper way at an early date. Statements to the contrary are not such as should come from the truthful loyal and patriotic of the race, these days. Be men! CAPTAIN "WEB." DuBOIS At the great Afro-American Conference, held in Washington, D. C., a few weeks ago, the only change made in its splendid resolutions was a sentence along the line of the complained of part of the July Crisis editorial. When approached by the writer and asked if he had written it, Dr. DuBois, secretary of the committee on resolutions, laughingly admitted that he had done so. This we were loath to believe and did not do so until he arose in the meeting and undertook to defend the objectionable sentence, but in vain, for it was stricken out and a proper one unanimously substituted for it. The incident started us to thinking (and investigating), but not until we learned that he had been appointed (since the conference) to a captaincy in the army intelligence department, and stationed in the War Department at Washington, D. C., did we understand his "reversal of form." We do not believe that Dr. Booker T. Washington in the heyday of his "doctrine of surrender" preaching would have dared do such a thing, O, DuBois! 'Et tu Brute! NURSES TO BE USED War Department Makes Opening for Hundreds at Six Base Hospitals in This Country—May Go Overseas. Washington, D. C.—The War Department has issued orders to the surgeon general, which will enable our nurses who have been registered by the American Red Cross Society, to render service for our men in the army.

George Gephart, chief draft clerk at the state adjutant general's office in Columbus, in Cleveland, last Friday on a tour of inspection of all local boards, said an effort would be made to complete the Ohio Afro-American quota by the first week in August. There are 200,000 Afro-Americans in the army now and more than 1,000 captains and lieutenants. On the active list also are: one colenel, one lieutenant-colonel and five or six majors. All these latter are in France except those in the regular army—Majors Davis and Prioleau—the latter a chaplain. Newton Smith, an Afro-American planter in Shreveport, La., holds the cotton crop record of the Red River Valley for the past season. His 286 bales are worth $50,000.

It was a month ago that local relatives of our boys received postcards announcing their safe arrival overseas. These have been followed by letters saying there are four regiments of our troops in Italy. Following considerable agitation during which charges of race discrimination on the part of authorities at Washington were made, Afro-American trained nurses are to be sent abroad to serve with the American troops. The Marie Cross New York Women's Club Committee of Justice, stated in New York recently. In the recent increase of wages granted by W. G. McAdoo, Director-General of the railroads, it has been ordered that after June 1 no discrimination in wages shall be made between white and colored men doing the same work. At present Afro-American brakemen and switchmen receive only two-thirds to three-quarters of the wages paid white workmen. United States letter carriers and postoffice clerks were granted an increase of $200 on the year when the postoffice appropriation bill became effective, July 1st. The entrance salary is fixed at $1,000 and the maximum salary at $1,500. This is certainly good news to the badly overworked men in the service. Substitute carriers and clerks are to receive 40 cents per hour while on duty. The Cleveland & Southwestern RY Co. is offering its used ties to the U. S.

Some time ago the great General Gourand placed in my hands the sum of 100 francs to be sent to the family of the first one of my soldiers wounded in a fight with the enemy under heroic circumstances.

Don't offer your bonds for sale unless absolutely compelled to do so. If you hear of any of your friends who are embarrassed and who contemplate disposing of their Liberty bonds, offer to take the bonds at par, thus preventing their sale at less than par value. You can also support your own bond and support the credit of the government. Now, one step further, please, Mr. McAdoo. Enforce equal accommodations for equal fares on all railroads in the U. S. When we pay for first-class accommodations on public carriers (in the South) we are entitled to receive just what we pay for. The law says equal accommodations. This law is flagrantly violated and openly and wantonly defied. You have corrected the injustice of unequal now you correct that of unequal accommodations. — Omaha (Neb.) Monitor.

The latest figures for church membership have been given out by the census bureau for the ten year period ending Dec. 31, 1916: Our Baptists report 3,018,314 members, with 19,423 ministers; the A. M. E. have 552,265 members; the B. 8,755 ministers; the Zion Methodists have 258,433 members with 3,962 ministers; the Colored Methodists have 245,749 members, with 3,402 ministers.

SNATCHED IT FROM HIM C W. Cordin Prevented From Delivering "Four-Minute Message" from President Wilson—The Governor of the Soldiers' Home Shows Race Prejudice. Dayton, O.-If this country loses the war it will be on account of the rank race prejudice of a group of short-sighted Americans. An incident occurred at the Soldiers' Home on July 4 which shows how prejudice is destroying the country and helping Germany. President Wilson sent out a special message to the nation to be delivered by the four-minute men on the 4th. C. W. Cordin, former resident of Elyria, O., and a Spanish-American war veteran, was appointed to speak here whenever he found a crowd of people gathered He delivered the message three times at Island Park, at the Peace street playgrounds and was attempting to deliver it at the Soldiers' home when the governor of the home snatched the paper out of his hand and threatened to punish him, because he, a colored man, was speaking to white people, it is said. He did not take time to ascertain what the speech was on or that the message came directly from President Wilson. The attention of the War Department has been called to the incident. WONDERFUL PROGRESS A: the State A & M. College of South Carolina-U. S. Army War Training School. Orangeburg, S. C.—One of the best summer sessions for teachers in the history of the institution has just closed at the State Agricultural and Mechanical College located here, Prof. R. S. Wilkinson, president. The enrollment reached 312, among which were teachers from several adjoining states. Stress was laid on vocational training and the exhibits in the various courses of industrial and mechanical arts attracted general attention at the close of the session. Plans are already under way for a longer term next summer. This is the only summer school in South Carolina and is adequately supported by joint funds given by the legislature. the Slater fund and the federal government. In connection with the mechanical equipment of the college there is being operated a U. S. army war training school for mechanics. The present detachment here numbers 247 men, sent from the counties of the state for training in carpentry, benchwork, wheelwrighting, auto mechanics, traction engineering, truck driving, concreting and blacksmithing. At the close of the present session, the last of August, another detachment will be sent here for work in auto mechanics, radio and telegraphic electricity and signalling. Work has begun on the erection of the $50,000 academic and auditorium building allowed by the legislature, last winter. The reason for this induction is buildings with past two years is unsurpassed, four having been erected, and another is to follow.

Young and Jas. W. Johnson, national organizer of the N. A. A. C. P., had previously been refused in the same restaurant.

August 1 is celebrated in honor of the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, Jan. 1. is the proper date for the celebration of its abolition in this country because Lincoln's emancipation went into effect on Jan. 1, 1863. The Cleveland Association of Colored Men is again advertising what it terms an "annual emancipation celebration to be held, this month, at color-line Luna park SHAME! The worse some people are treated in some public places the better they seem to like it, it seems. And still this does not justify the tolling of thousands of others of our people to such a place for the purpose of fattening the treasury of the Luna park management at the expense of our poor people, many of whom do not know or understand the insulting color-line conditions existing the year around at the park. The "Negroes" responsible for this "annual Luna park affair" be disguised by the loyal self and race respecting, mainly, womanly of the race in this community in such a way as to make them properly appreciate the seriousness and enormity of their offense against the race.

The reason he engages in this pastime is because radium has been discovered in his back yard, according to a doctor from Ohio, who claims to know something about the stuff that sells for thousands of dollars per amount as big as a pinhead. Two years ago Marshall and his mother came here and purchased a fruit farm on the outskirts of this village. On the property is a spring of sparkling clear water. Prior to their coming here, Mrs. Marshall was a chronic dyspeptic, subsisting only on the simplest of diets. They had been here only a short time when Mr. Marshall noticed his mother's appetite had increased astonishingly and that she could eat anything with keen relish. A glass was always left at the spring and always turned a light blue after slight use. One day when the Ohio doctor was visiting the Marshals he noticed the blue glass and said: "Marshall, you don't drink this water do you?" "Yes, we're really intemperate with it." "And doesn't it make you sick?" "And doesn't it make you sick?" "I don't look seriously ill do I?" asked Marshall with a chuckle, as he exhibited his tongue. "I thought it was cobalt at first," he said, "but if it were cobalt it would make you sick." The doctor took several samples of the water back with him to test, and Marshall took to reading auto catalogs and pricing Persian rugs. PLAN TO INTEREST MECHANICS Use Inventor's Tools and Gain Equity in His Patents. William L. Bessola, an experienced mechanic known to practically every one connected with mechanical departments of mines in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, and who holds patients for many mechanical devices, is endeavoring to interest capitalists and others in a proposition the success of which is assured. As a forerunner to manufacture and sale of the perfected tools on a large scale it is the plau of Mr. Bessola and his associates to secure the cooperation of every user of tools that they seek to replace with new inventions, and to this end they have permitted a number of the leading plumbers, master mechanics and men generally connected with things mechanical, to purchase equities in the exploitation company, which not only entitles them to substantial interest in that direction, but also secures for each a proportionate right in the patient of which Mr. Bessola has taken out. STUDENT DESIGNS MACHINES Big Saving in Ore Refinement May be the Result. New equipment for use of the seniors of the University of Washington, which was designed and is being built under the direction of Fred Porter, a senior will soon be installed, and with it the men will perform a series of experiments of great practical and economic value. Two complete sets of machinery have been designed by Porter for use in grinding and concentration of gold ore, some of the equipment being of the same style as has been used in the Alaska, Idaho and Montana gold fields in the last few years for the purpose of experimentation. The experiments to be performed may besides being the work necessary to constitute the thesis required to gain a degree, result in a large saving in the refinement of ore. AID TO PHOTOGRAPHIC ART New Camera Takes Tall Buildings at Close Range. With a new camera invented and patented by an Elgin, Ill.' man, a tall building may be photographed from the ground showing the upper portions as plainly as the lower. Such a building will be the exact size at the top as at the base of the picture. Formerly such a thing was considered impossible and photographers have been hunting some invention for the past twenty years to overcome the fault. The inventor has many pictures of tall buildings taken from a distance of only a few feet which prove his invention worthy. The invention is simple and requires only the turning of the lens to the proper angle, which is determined by the height of the building and the distance which the camera stands from it. KEEPS WATER COLD, PURE Common Tank Arrangement Protects Liquid From Danger. Water may be kept cold without subjecting it to possible dangers of impure ice or having to purchase a special ice retainer, by using a common water tank. The tank is kept nearly full of water and any common large glass jar, filled nearly or wholly full of crushed ice is lowered into the water tank. The air in the jar and the difference between the weight of ice and water keeps the jar from sinking. Thus the water is kept cold and clean and is preserved from possible danger that might result from touching contaminated ice. The system may easily be applied to any ordinary cooler.—Illustrated World. Keeps Hold of "Billie" by Wire Attached to a Metal Band Around His Neck. Cleveland, N. Y. — James Stubbs, who lives two miles east of this village, in Oneida County, is known as one of the best hunters in this section. This winter when the State Conservation Commission granted permission to use ferrets for hunting rabbits in Oswego County, Mr. Stubbs' neighbors over the line "joshed" him because he could not enjoy the same privilege. The neighbors would hunt with ferrets, returning home nights with rabbits which they would display to Mr. Stubbs. But Mr. Stubbs was not to be outdone. A few mornings ago his neighbors saw him start out with a gun and a bag over his shoulder. They called to him that he "would get caught with his ferret," but he laughed. Late in the afternoon he returned home with ten rabbits which he showed to his neighbors. Mr. Stubbs did not use a ferret. Rats recently got into his cellar and were eating his vegetables. He set a box trap and a few days later caught an extra large rat. He made a metal collar, placed it around the rat's neck and fastened a long wire to the collar. Then he placed the rat in a bag and started out. Mr. Stubbs traced a rabbit to its hole, fastened the end of the wire to his belt and released the rat. The rat entered the hole and drove out the rabbit, which was shot. The rat was pulled from the hole, put in the bag and the hunt continued until ten rabbits had been shot. Mr. Stubbs says the rat is better than a ferret for the reason that it will not attack a rabbit. He has named it "Billie." Other Oneida County hunters are planning to try tame white rats on the rabbits, but Mr. Stubbs avers they will not work. WOMEN'S COSTUMES ENDANGER THEIR HEALTH, OFFICIAL SAYS Growing Army of Business Women Having Beneficial Reform Effect, Pennsylvanian Says Harrisburg, Pa.—"Paper-soled slippers in mild winter worn over icy pavements, as contrasted with ice muffled in fur, are obviously a source of real danger," is the point made by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Health Commissioner, in urging women to make their costumes accord with the winter weather. He stated in the same connection that men, as a rule, have made their dress fit the period of the year, but that there are dangers in extreme attention to adornment on the part of women. "Eve was the first human being to concern herself with the matter of costume," Dr. Dixon said. "Today, some evidence to the contrary, the primary object of clothing is to protect the body from heat and cold. Man's dress has through all ages, of necessity, conformed more or less to these practical purposes." "Women's clothing has been and continues to be subject to far greater extremes. While it would be far from desirable to take beauty and colo. out of our lives, for the sake of the wearer's health, certain reasonable precautions should be observed. "The growing army of women in business, whose occupation demands a more reserved style of dress, will in time exert an influence upon their sisters whose chief aim is personal adornment." CARRY WHISTLES AFTER DARK Cleveland Girls Blow Screechers When Ascorted by Men When Accosted by Men tter of choice, but when the escort is men are substituting the tint whistle for the man escort. No, not as a matter of choice, but when the escore is lacking, the whistle accompanies the girl out after dark. Miss Florence Kukura is the mother of the movement. She works nights and has got tired of being accosted on the way home by flirts. "Girls can carry a whistle in their vanity cases," said Miss Kukura. "If there isn't a policeman in the neighborhood when the call is sounded, there'll surely be some gallent man who'll respond." Find Way to Make Small Men Large. Berkley, Cal.-Discoveries that may result in human beings attaining any desired weight with corresponding weight and that may provide a way to retard effectively the growth of cancer and other malignant. growths are announced at the University of California. Paramount in the discovery is the isolation of a substance (tetohil) produced at the base of the brain. Dr. T. B. Robertson, professor of biochemistry, says this substance produces growth. With the isolation of this substance the natural supposition is entertained that its administration to human beings is an imminent possibility and that this administration may be expected to produce an increase in the size and weight of the body, to renew inhibited growth, and to promote advance toward normal size in stunted bodies. Supplementary experiments by Dr. T. C. Burnett indicate that the substance is in a large measure responsible for cancer and that it may ultimately become possible to control the cancerous growth by inhibition. Texas Widows Popular as Brides. Amarillo, Tex.-Of the 258 marriage licenses issued here during last year, 70 per cent of the brides were widows, as shown by the report recently published. 'GENTLEMAN OF FORTUNE SIGHS FOR LACK OF HOME "There Was Once a Girl," He Says, Then Stops as He tells What Life of Adventure Lost Him. Indianapolis, Ind.—A "gentleman of fortune," Harry Crawford McKenzie, a native of Marion County, who has been thru three wars, led forces in two revolts against reigning powers and who has girdled the world three tires in his travels, sat weeping as he told of what his adventures had lost him. Loneliness had brought him back to his old home for a visit. Strange to say this man, now nearly 70, most regrets the lack of home and children. STONE MAN IS DUG UP IN RIO GRANDE V Now In Warehouse to Await of Scientists—Cartridge Found Near Body. El Paso, Texas, is now like some publicity as a result of covey of the form of a man in the Rio Grande Valley. covey was made by J. K. M Highland Park, who is rather regarding the exact location find. Mr. Mann is taking great ca find and it is kept in a bond house in El Paso and is gue McKenzie's wanderings started with the Civil War, in which he served with an Indiana regiment as a drummer boy. After the war he started for the East and remained there until he was 25, and the call of adventure led him eventually to Africa. In Africa he was captain in the uprising of natives of British West Africa in 1873, an uprising suppressed by British arms in less than two weeks. McKenzie was wounded in the leg and still limps. He went to the Philippine Islands next and was leader in an uprising of natives against Spanish rule, another ill-fated event, for it endured only four days. This uprising was to have been general, according to McKenzie, but failed because proper orders were not given various leaders. McKenzie then went to Egypt, Australia, Italy, China and all Oriental lands. In China he was in peril when found in a Chinese temple. Thru friendship with the natives of Africa, McKenzie finally established a trading business there. This business made him independent and he retired fron. it ten years ago. But there's a note lacking in his life. All the adventures he has had, all the money he has made, all the sights he has seen and all the experiences his jaunts have given him do not make up for the home he has missed. "There was once a girl," McKenzie began, then broke off sud. enly, as he wiped away tears. He would not say more on the subject. GET WEE BOY AND GIRL; NO THANKS TO Hubby Arranges Surprise for Wife; but Latter Does Some Baby Baby Hunting for Herself. Rockville Center, L. L— For years Thomas Connell and his wife, middle-aged and well-to-do, had longed for children, but none came. So, recently Mr. Connell decided to find out what could be done thru his parish priest, the Rev. Peter Quealey. As a result of their conferences, kept secret from Mrs. Connell, Mr. Connell, returned to his home the other day carrying in his arms a fine, fat, bouncing surprise for his wife. It was a girl, 15 months old, that Mr. Connell had acquired from a family which recently had undergone financial reverses. He plumped baby into the arms of his wife. “There’s your new baby,” he said with delight that was matched by hers. “We are to go to adopt it.” Mrs. Connell, altho delighted, seemed to have something else on her mind, for in a few minutes she excused herself and left the house. In ten minutes she was back and in her arms was a big, red-checked boy, 4 years old, and so heavy she staggered under his weight. Into the surprised arms of Mr. Connell she dropped the load. There is your baby," she said. "I have everything arranged so we can adopt him." She had arranged to get the boy thru Father Quaely, who, while arranging to get a baby for Mr. Connell, had been appealed to by Mrs. Connell, who had planned the same surprise for her husband that he had planned for her. The children are brother and sister. SCARED HORSE RETURNS TO AID HURT MASTER Animal Bolts Auto Wreck, Then Gives Warning of Accident. Fairfield, N. J.—The remarkable intelligence of the horse, said to rank second to the elephant, the most intelligent of all members of the animal world, is again exemplified in this incident. The farm wagon in which Judson H. Van Cream was riding along the Passaic River road, near this place, late at night, was hit by an automobile and wrecked. Mr Van Cream was thrown fifteen feet down an embankment to the edge of the frozen river, and the hors. ran away. The automobile disappeared without stopping leaving Van Cream unconscious. Apparently after the horse had run a quarter of a mile and had freed himself of the wrecked wagon he reconsidered and returned to where the accident had happened. There he was found two hours later by Henry Vree-land. Mr. Vreeland tried to lead the animal o his home, but he would not move. That caused Vreeland to look about. In a short time he found Van Creat. When his master had been revived the horse w.s willing to go on to Pine Brook, the home of Van Creat, and also of Vreeland. The former's injuries were serious, but not fatal. FLOWERS GIVE OFF FATAL GAS Two Men Killed by Carbon Dioxide, Belief. Joplin, Mo.-The Rev. Ray Cornell, an itinerant minister, and John Russell were found dead in a greenhouse here. Carbon dioxide thrown off by plants is believed to have cause their deaths. STONE MAN IS DUG UP Now in Warehouse to Await Decision El Paso, Texas, is now likely to get some publicity as a result of the discovery of the form of a man in stone in the Rio Grande Valley. The discovery was made by J. K. Mann of Highland Park, who is rather reticent regarding the exact location of his find. Mr. Mann is taking great care of his find and it is kept in a bonded warehouse in El Paso and is guarded as carefully as would be an equal amount of virgin gold. Opening a heavy case containing his discovery, Mr. Mann said that what he would show the writer would be in the nature of a surprise. The scribe then put a query. "What is it?" "That's just the question, What is it?" said Mr. Mann. "I am making absolutely no claim regarding it. I will simply say that it was dug up from the ground and that it is a Texas product. I have my own ideas what it is, but they may not be in line with what learned men will tell us later, and I am anxious to have their opinions." Turning back the covering, Mr. Mann disclosed what appeared to be a human form in some sort of bronze. The writer was then given a chance to make a careful inspection and it was seen that the body—for that is the easiest way to refer to the discovery—was not bronze, but apparently stone. A close inspection revealed lines and pores similar to those in a human skin. Part of the abdomen was missing and the cavity bore the look of a piece of stone broken away. In the left breast was an indention, and Mr. Mann produced an old and much rusted cartridge, which he declared was found near the body when it was dug up. This cartridge was evidently from a large bore gun and was made in the days when the whole base of a cartridge was a cap, which would be discharged by the hammer of the gun hitting it anywhere. This cap had been discharged by a gun with a strong hammer for the firing pin had been driven thru the cap. The body is in a reclining position, the left arm supporting the head, while the right arm is thrown across the breast and the hand rests in front of the body. One peculiarity of the body is that the right hand has two perfectly formed index fingers—five fingers and a thumb in all. The lips have been slightly worn away and three white teeth are visible. If the body is that of a human being turned to stone it must have been that of a young man, probably 18 or 19 years of age, and of a person used to outdoor or a rugged life. The sinews of both arms and legs are quite apparent. The bins are small, but well developed. Accurate measurements were rather difficult, owing to the peculiar posture of the body. However, the following are approximately correct: Height 5 feet 6 inches; present weight 350 pounds; approximate estimate of the weight of man similarly built, 120 pounds; measurement around chest, 35 inches; between shoulders at back, 18 inches; across chest, 16 inches; from shoulder to wrist 22 1-2 inches; wrist 7 1-2 inches; neck, 14 1-2 inches; around head above ears, 23 inches; feet from heel to toe, 9 1-2 inches; knee to heel, 17 1-2 inches; biceps, 12 inches; around knee, 13 1-2 inches; around hips 36 inches; from instep to crotch 29 inches, waist 28 inches. Questioned closely as to the whereabouts of the discovery, Mr. Mann stated: "I have my own reasons for not being too explicit regarding the exact location of my discovery. I have reason to believe that there are further discoveries to be made in that same location. "I am in El Paso for my health, and I hope to resume my explorations within a couple of months. Just what I will do with my discovery I cannot say at the present time. I intend to have some experts examine it in the near future and make a report. Very few people know of it at the present time, but those who do know have been impressed." RIVER PUMPS ITS WATER Vast Tracts of Lang in California Moistened in This Way In a number of sections in northern California there are vast tracts of land which are watered only by irrigation and where the government has not yet carried out any reclamation projects, even on the smallest scale. The settlers and ranchers have improvised irrigation facilities of their own. These appliances, though crude and original, are none the less effective. Some of the best are used by the ranchers of the narrow winding valley of Klamath river. Numbers of large irrigating wheels, operated by the river current, are in operation here. These are about 80 feet in diameter, built of wood and strongly braced to withstand the current. At short intervals are placed flood boards, on cross paddles, which cause the wheel to revolve as the current strikes them. Attached to the outer rim on each side at short distances are large boxes like metal buckets, which are successively filled, hoisted and emptied into wooden flumes. Thence the water flows in side flumes into deep ditches dug along the high banks of the river. Many of these ditches are miles in length, and the water is distributed for leagues.—Popular Science.

Subscribe Now! To The Loyal! Five of our soldier boys are at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, awaiting death as a result of the recent Court Martial proceedings growing out of the Houston riot. 'Though these men have been sentenced to die, their cases will be reviewed by President Wilson, and he has the power to commute their sentences to life imprisonment, if he will. He can even pardon them, if he desires so to do. These men were victims of rank prejudice. They were forced to take the law into their own hands by reason of the oppression and insults offered them by southern whites. Their cases are not ordinary ones, and they deserve extraordinary consideration. Their comrades who died a few weeks ago were hanged without executive intervention.
