Jordan Thinks He Has Plan To Solve Negro Problem fulatto Has A Mission. In Popular Science Magazine Professor at University of Virginia Advances Startling Theory. Prof. H R. Jordan, a Southern units man of the University of Virginia, advances an opinion which means that miscengation will be the ultimate solution of the Negro problem. He makes this assertion in an article in The Poplar Science Monthly for June in which occurs the remarkable statement that the mulatto is the leaven with which to lift the Negro race. Prof. Jordan does not hold to the commonly accepted opinion that half breeds are inferior to the race of another parent. On the contrary he thinks that the half-breed usually a better and more useful citizen than the man of pure race. He believes that the solution of the Negro problem is facilitated instead of complicated by the presence of the mulatto, and claims that the breed has been proved most effective in some other lands, notably in the English island colony of Jamaica. In Jamaica there are about 50,000 mulattoes in a population of 700,000, and it is noted, he says, that the mulattoes contribute the artisans, the teachers, the business and professional men. "They are the very backbone of wonderful Jamaica." th, if statements are worth anything. He claims that the prevalence of defective half-breeds is due to the mating of inferior types of the black and white races, but that Negro-white cross does not infinitely mean degeneracy. Discussing this phase of the question says: I admit the general inferiority of black-white offsprings. Defective half-breeds are too prevalent in abbreuding to permit denying apparently predetermined result of such crosses. But I emphatically deny that the result is inherent in the ample fact of cross breeding. There are not a few striking exceptions among my acquaintances. Absolutely the mulatto family I have ever trace its ancestory back on the material and paternal side of high grade white grand-parents and pure type Negro grand-others. The reason for the frequently inferior product of such crosses is that the better elements of both races under ordinary conditions of easy mating with their VOL. XIX.

Under these usual circumstances a white man who will accept a white man, are already of quite inferior type. One would not expect superior offspring from such parents if concerned horses or dogs. Why should we expect the biologically impossible in the case of man? If the parents are of good type, so will be the offspring. And even with the handicap of frequently degraded white ancestry, the mulatto of one country forms the most intelligent and potentially useful element of our colored population. "The fact, then, is established, beyond all possibility of disproof, it seems to me that a Negro-white cross does not inherently mean degeneracy; and that the mulatto, measured by present-day standards of Caucasian civilization, from economic and civic standpoints, is an advantage upon a pure Negro. In further support of the potency of even a relatively remote white ancester may be cited the almost unique instance of Moses of the colored race, Booker T. Washington. As one mingles day by day with colored people of all grades and shades one is impressed with the significance of even small admixtures of Oaucasian blood. What elements of hope or menace lie hidden in these mulatto millions? How can they help to solve or confuse the 'problem?' Prof. Jordan asserts that the Negro cannot undergo mental development beyond a certain maximum, and that it is possible to approximate a "pure" mulatto race combining the best element of black and white. We can approach it he holds, by education and the fostering of Negro racial pride he says further: "The point seems clear that in presence of 2,000,000 mulattoes, steadily increasing in number, we have a key to the solution of our problem. The mulatto is the leaven with which to lift the Negro race. He serves as our best lever for Negro elevation. The mulatto does not feel the instinctive mental nausea to Negro mating. He might even be made to feel a sacred mission in this respect. Possibility of marriage with mulatto would be very real incentive to serious efforts for development on --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 5 1913.

At any rate from present indications our hope lies in the mulatto. A wise statesmanship and rational patriotism will made every effort to conserve him, and imbue him with his mission in the interests of the brotherhood of a better man. The problem seems possible of solution only as the mulatto will undertake it, with the earnest help of the white." NEGRO BANK SAVED BY RACE PRIDE (Indianapolis Ledger) Pride of race and determination to show that Negroes could show business courage equal to white people saved the Peoples Bank and Trust company, a strickly Negro bank, Muskogee, Okla., from ruin, and it is running today as usual following a stress that would have wrecked most any bank in the state under similar circumstances. A suit brought by one of the stockholders started an internal strife within the bank that leaked out and started a run. This forced the bank to close its doors. Then the state bank examiner took charge and the bank remained closed all day while angry depositors stormed the outer doors in an effort to get their money out. Meetings were held in every Negro church in the city and the Negro ministers preached on the subject of the bank. They appealed to race pride and to cool judgment. They pointed out that to get panicky and draw cut deposits meant to break the bank, sure. For the bank to fail would be a sad commentary upon the Negro as a factor in the business world, a thing that the Negroes could not afford to have happen. The Negroes were advised to let their money stay on deposit and to put in more. This had its effect. While the bank doors were still closed one Negro merchant stood in front of it with $5,000 in money in a bag stating he was going to deposit it. Several others with big rolls joined him. In the meantime the officers and stockholders of the bank, all Negroes, were busy. The bank examiner demanded, an assessment of 100 per cent. on the capital stock of $25,000. This was promptly met, and the Negro financiers piled on top of the assessment $75,000 more to show good faith. With the permission of the bank examiners the bank was reopened the following day. Another crowd had gathered, but these were depositors trying to get their money into the bank instead of trying to draw it out. The bank had sufficient cash in its vaults at that ORIGINAL time to pay every depositor in full, but the money was not demanded and the bank was saved. Annapolis, Md., June 25.—Arguments were heard Tuesday in the Court of Appeals against and for the decision of Judge Thomas Ireland Elliott declaring the Baltimore segregation law invalid. The case came before the court on an appeal that had been noted by City of Baltimore. Attorney General Poe represented the State, City Solicitor Field of Baltimore the latter municipality and William L. Marbury, strong advocate of the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment, represented the white segregationists. W. Ashbie Hawkins, Baltimore law firm of Hawkins and McMechen, made the main argument against the contention of those holding the segregation law to be valid. C. Ames Broods also made an argument along the line of Mr. Hawkins. The case before the Court of Appeals was that arisin out of the imincetment of John H. Gurry of Baltimore, for an alleged violation of the segregation law. Attorney Hawkins filed demurrer against the indictment, averring that the law was unconstitutional, and Judge Elliott, who was then sitting in the Criminal Court of Baltimore decided in favor of Mr. Hawkins' contentions. Mr. Hawkins, in his argument related the history of the passage of three segregation laws by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. He declared that the law was class legislation and contrary to provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment and concluded his argument by saying: "This ordinance is not aimed at protecting the health, morals or safety of the community, nor to provide for its general welfare. It is but an effort to protect what one class believes to be its property rights." Soon as President Wilson chops off one Negro's head, actuated by his Christian wife, as reports have it, his ax is resharpened to execute another. Surely, such tokens of devotion to his Negro devotees will make all Negroes hereafter support the Democratic party. Judging the future by the past, we assume to foretell what may happen, to-wit, that he, President Wilson, the praying Christian he is, will make Bishop Walters in time First Assistant Postmaster General, and J. Milton Waldron First Assistant Secretary of War. You two old soldiers to the crown of thorns orator and his idle Wilson—have patience—your time is coming.—West Virginia Pioneer Press.

"The Negro Problem" is the subject of a study that is being conducted at Black Mountain, North Carolina, by J. L. Sibley, Alabama's supervisor of rural Negro Schools. The study is being conducted in conjunction with a conference of southern white students, held under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Prof. Sibley, who left last week for Black Mountian, said that the conference is for the purpose of interesting Southern students in the problem, and it is hoped to obtain beneficial results. The pleasure resorts just outside of Baltimore are in a fair way of being closed, unless the street railway company shall provide transportation separate for the whites, they claiming that the Negros who visit these resorts are vulgar and disorderly. In all fairness we must admit that Baltimore has more than its share of the rowdy and ignorant class of race, who are as objectionable to their own as they are to the white race. It does seem too bad that the better element should have to suffer for what these blots on society do. Isabelle Foster, who brought suit against the Bucknell Steamship Lines for $25,000 damages for the death of her husband, charging the defendant with negligence, has come out victorious in the United States Circuit Court NO 44 of Appeals.

Chicago, Ill., June 24.—It was rumored here that within the last few days some very far-reaching plans, looking toward aiding the colored people in education in the South are now being worked out. It is said that a Chicago philanthropist has placed a certain sum of money in the hands of Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, with the view of having him experiment in the building of small schoolhouses for colored people in the rural districts of the South on condition that Negroes raise an amount equal to it. Pictures have been seen in Chicago, representing a number of these small school houses and they are a revelation as indicating the extent to which colored people are able to help themselves. It is thought that if the experiment is satisfactory that enough money will be coming to extend the plan into many Southern states if not all of them. Montreal, June 29.—Jack Johnson, the Negro pugillist, accompanied by his white wife, Lucille Cameron Johnson, left for Havre on the Allan line steamer Corinthian this morning. They boarded the steamer last night in the presence of Canadian immigration officers, who will watch Johnson's progress Europeward until he is beyond their jurisdiction. Just before going on board, Johnson reiterated his declaration that he had no intention of forfeiting his $15,000 bond in Chicago and was going to Europe to recoup by boxing contests the losses he had sustained in his trials. He declared he would be in Chicago when his appeal from a white slave conviction is argued in November. Johnson took with him two automobiles, a limousine and a high power touring car. ‘ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION LATEST NEWS EPITOMIZED What a Dollar Will Do BSL. at the ey er Oi sos el 4 a > \e KA he Soa EI he irae” AS) KN LZ Qa You Can Get Gne Case of Good, Steamed, Steril- ized Beer, 24 Pints to the Case.

ADMINISTRATION CURRENCY MEASURE INTRODUCED. Senator Owen Offers Bill in the Sen- ate and Representative Glass In the House. Western Newapaper Union News Service, Washington. — The administration currency, bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator Owen and in tho House by Representative Glass, ‘The House immediately referred the meas: ure to the banking and currency com: mittee. Several changes have been made in the bill as the result of the numerous conferences in which President Wil son, Democrats of the House and Sen- ate committees, Treasury department officials and committees of bankers took part following the publication of the proposed measure several days ago, but despite appeals, that the fed- eral reserve board to control the pro- Posed new currency system be in- creased, and that bankers be given representation, no change in this pro- vision was made. ‘The board will con- sist of seven men to be appointed by the President.

MULHALL’S CONFESSION SAYS GREAT SUMS SPENT TO INFLUENCE LEGISLATION. Accused Men Demand Full Investigar tion of “Underground System. Lobby Charges. ‘Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Disclosures growing out of the sensational charges by Judge Robert S. Lovett of a blackmail plot against the Union Pacific, de- tails of which were first published sev- eral days ago, took a most important turn in a statement of a far-reaching lobby scheme made by Col. Martin mM. Mulhall, formerly general field lobby- ist for the National Association of Manufacturers. In the confession made by Colonel Mulhall, in corroboration of which he offers a great number of letters, tele- grams, reports, expense accounts an memoranda, he charges that the Nj tional Association of Manufactur comprising 225 organizations and ct talized at $10,000,000,000, for ten ys ‘has played an important and frequi ly a decisive part in promoting tal labor and general business legislatio favorable to its own interests. He further charges that the associa- tion, during this time, has maintained a lobby here for the purpose of de- feating hostile legislation, Colonel Mulhall asserts that the lobby maintained by the Manufac- turers’ association was solely respon- sible for the creation of the tariff com- mission, the object being to forestall tariff reduction. The statement names a score of congressmen who are alleged to have | received financial reward for services rendered the Manufacturers’ Associa- tion. ‘The amazing statement is made that the agents of the association found no difficulty in “reaching and influ- encing them for business, political or sympathetic reasons” during recent years, Colonel Mulhall names seventeen men, who have been actively connected as lobbyists for the association of manufacturers during the last ten years and gives a history of much of the work performed by each of the men, The confession contains a long re- cital of the campaign alleged to have been carried on by the association against the labor unfons throughout the United States. During this cam- paign Colonel Mulball charges that the association broke many. sprit corrupted many minor labor léade! attempted to compromise the heads all the labor organizations in the co try and in every way used its influ- ence for the benefit of the members of the association, 5 Colonel Mulhall cites many alleged instances in which the association has carried on a relentless warffre against House officials who haye stood for legislation hostile to the association's members. He further states that he alone has spent more than $200,000 for direct influence on favorable legislation. In various portions of his statement Colonel Mulhall charges that practical. ly every trust in the country paid, tribute to the association, and also, tha’ seventy-five per cent of the pages of the House of Representatives act; as spies for the association, all wo} ing under the direction of a chief.

It was a great fight between armies of Americans, for probably fully ninety per cent. of the men who fought on the two sides were born natives to the American soil. The bravery shown at Gettysburg was of the order which Americans have shown on every field and which reflects credit upon the hardy and heroic ancestry of the men engaged, no matter from what race they may have sprung. At Gettysburg there was nothing to choose between the valor of the North and the South. The South lost the fight, but it lost it honorably and with the prestige of its soldiery undimmed. The charges made on that field have gone down into history as assaults made under conditions which every man felt might mean death at the end. The defenses made at Gettysburg were of the kind which it takes iron in the blood to make perfect. At Gettysburg Northerners and Southerners replenished their store of respect for their antagonists. The battle marked the high tide of the war between the states. After it the South largely was on the defensive, but its defense was maintained with fortitude and in the face of privations which could not chill the blood of men fighting for what they thought was the right. The Northern armies were persistent in their attacks through the campaigns which after a few months were started against the objective point, Richmond. Brave men here and brave men there, and after the end came it was the qualities which keep company with bravery which made the soldiers of the North and South so ready to forget and to forgive and to work again for the good of a common country. The great battle of Chancellorsville was fought not long before the opposing Union and Confederate forces met on the field of Gettysburg. Chancellorsville was a Confederate victory. The Southern government believed that the victory should be followed up by an invasion of the North for, according to its reasoning, if an important engagement could be won upon 9 Maj. Gen. George G. Meade. Northern soil the chances of foreign intervention or at least foreign aid to the Southern cause, would be forthcoming. General Robert E. Lee late in the spring of 1863, made his preparations to conduct his campaign Northward into the state of Pennsylvania. He had under his command three corps, General James Longstreet commanding the First, General Richard S. Ewell commanding the Second, and General A. P. Hill commanding the Third. In the Union army which afterward confronted Lee at Gettysburg, there were seven corps, but the number of men in each was much less than that in a Confederate corps, the military composition of each being different. The Union corps commanders who under Meade were at Gettysburg, were Generals John F. Reynolds, W. S. Hancock, Daniel E. Sickles, George Sykes, John Sedgwick, O. O. Howard and H. W. Slocum. It never has been determined beyond the point of all dispute just how men were engaged on each side in the battle of Gettysburg. It is known that the armies were very early in strength, the probabilities being that the Confederate force was a few thousand men stronger than the Union force, a difference which was balanced perhaps by the at the Union armies at Gettysburg, are fighting in defense of their land from invasion, a condition which military men say always adds a subtle something to the Nighting quality which is in any man. Some authorities have said that there were 100,000 men in the Confederate forces at Gettysburg to be confronted by 90,000 Union troops. Another authority says that the Confederate force was 84,000 and the Union force 80,000. As it was the armies were pretty nearly equally divided in strength. In June, 1863, General Robert E. Lee began to move northward. Lee concentrated his army at Winchester, Va., and then started for the Potomac river, which he crossed to reach the state of Maryland. He fully expected to be followed by General Hooker's army and so General Stuart with a large force of cavalry was ordered by Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army and to check his pursuit of the Confederates if it was attempted. Late in June the Confederate force reached Hagerstown, in the state of Maryland. It was General Lee's intention to strike Harrisburg, Pa., which was a great railroad center and a city where Union armies were recruited and from which all kinds of supplies were sent out to the soldiers in the field. While the Southern commander was on his way with a large part of his force to the Pennsylvania capital another part of his command X Gen. Robert E. Lee. was ordered to make its way into the Susquehanna Valley through the town of Gettysburg and then to turn in its course after destroying railroads and gathering in supplies, and to meet the Confederate commander with the main army at Harrisburg. It was General Jubal A. Early of General Lee's command, who reached Gettysburg after a long hard march on June 26. From there he went to the town of York and from thence to Wrightsville. At this place he was ordered by General Lee to retrace his steps and to bring his detachment back to a camp near Gettysburg. When Early ahd obeyed Lee's order and had reached a point near Gettysburg he found the entire Southern force was camped within easy striking distance of the now historic town In the meantime things were happening elsewhere. General Hooker in command of the Union army which had been depleted at Chancellorsville, had succeeded in out-maneuvering General Stuart in command of Lee's cavalry, had got around Stuart's command in a way to prevent the Southern general from forming a junction with the forces of his chief commander. Lee gave over the proposed movement on Harrisburg when he heard of Hooker's approach and brought the different parts of his army together. Four days before the Gettysburg fight began General Hooker resigned as commander of the Union army. Hooker and General Hallock disagreed upon a matter concerning which strategists today say that General Hooker was right. Three days before the battle began, that is, June 28, 1863, General George Gordan Meade was named as General Hooker's successor in charge of the Northern army. General Meade at once went into the field and established his headquarters at a point ten or twelve miles south of the town of Gettysburg. Armies Meet at Gettysburg. It seems that General Lee on hearing that Stuart had not succeeded in checking the Union army's advance had made up his mind to turn southward to meet the force of Hooker, or as it turned out the force of Meade. Lee with his force had advanced north beyond Gettysburg, while Meade with his force was south of the town. The fields near the Pennsylvania village had not been picked as a place of battle, but there it was that the two great armies came together and for three days struggled for the mastery. On the last day of June, the day before the real battle of Gettysburg began, General Reynolds, a corps commander of the Union army, went forward to feel out the enemy. He reached Gettysburg by nightfall. His corps, the First, together with the Third and the Eleventh Infantry Corps with a division of cavalry, composed the Union army's left wing. The Fifth Army Corps was sent to Hanover, southeast of Gettysburg, and the Twelfth Corps was immediately south of Gettysburg at a distance of eight or nine miles. This was on June 30, and the Union forces were fairly well separated, but they were converging and Gettysburg was their objective. General Reynolds of the Union forces arrived at Gettysburg early on the morning of July 1. He dispatched a courier to Meade saying that the high ground above Gettysburg was the proper place to meet the enemy. Not long after this message was sent to Meade General Reynolds who dispatched it, was killed. He was on horseback near a patch of woods with his force confronting a large detachment of Confederate troops which was coming toward them. These troops of the enemy were dispersed by the Union batteries and Reynolds was watching the successful solid shot and shrapnel onset when a bullet struck him in the head killing him instantly. General Abner Doubleday succeeded Reynolds in command of the troops at that point of the field. A brigade of Confederates, a Mississippi organization, charged the Union forces, broke their organization and succeeded in making prisoners of a large part of a New York regiment. Later these men were recaptured and the Mississippi brigade was driven back, a portion of it surrendering. In the fight on the first day at this point of the field or near it, one Union regiment, the 151st Pennsylvania, lost in killed and wounded 337 men out of a total of 446 in a little more than a quarter of an hour's fight. General Doubleday fell back to Seminary Ridge and extended his line. The forces employed against him here were greater than his own, and after hard fighting Seminary Ridge was given up. The first day's battle was in effect and in truth a victory for the Southern arms. On the night of July 1 General Hancock arrived and succeeded in rallying the Union forces and putting new heart into the men. General Meade on that night ordered the entire army to Gettysburg. Victory Not Followed Up. For some reason or other perhaps unknown to this day, what was virtually a Confederate victory on the first of July was not followed up by General Lee early on the next morning. General Meade therefore succeeded in strengthening his lines and in preparing for the greater conflict. One end of the Union line was some distance east of Cemetery Hill on Rock Creek, another end was at Round Top something more than two miles beyond Cemetery Hill to the south. The Confederate line confronting it was somewhat longer. It is impossible in a brief sketch of this battle to give the names of the brigade and the regimental commanders and the names of the regiments which were engaged on both sides in this great battle. Meade, Hancock, Howard, Slocum and Sickles with their men were confronting Lee, Longstreet, Hill, Ewell and the other great commanders of the South with their men. The line of battle with the spaces in between the different commands was nearly ten miles. It was the Confederate general's intention to attack at the extreme right and left and at the center simultaneously. It was to be General Longstreet's duty to turn the left flank of the Union army and to "break it." Longstreet's intended movement was discovered in time to have it met valiantly. The battle of the second day really began with Longstreet's advance. The [Illustration of a military officer in uniform with a star insignia. The background is a dark, indistinct pattern. The officer's name is not visible.] Maj. Gen. George E. Pickett. Southern general did not succeed in the plan which he had formed to get by Big Round Top and to attack the Third Corps from a position of vantage in the rear. General Sickles defended Round Top and Longstreet could not take it. When one visits the battlefield of Gettysburg he can trace the course of battle of the second day where it raged at Round Top, Peach Orchard, Cemetery Hill, Culp's Hill, and what is known as The Devil's Den. The tide of battle ebbed and flowed. Little Round Top was saved from capture by the timely arrival of a brigade commanded by General Weed that dragged the guns of a United States regular battery up to the summit by hand. At the end of the second day's fight it was found that the Southern army had failed to break the left flank of the opposing forces, that it had failed to capture Round Top and that the right flank of the Northern army, although vigorously attacked, had not been broken. There was a tremendous loss of life on both sides, and while in general the day had gone favorably to the Northren cause Gettysburg was still a drawn battle. Charge of Gen. Pickett. It was on July 3, the third and last day of the great battle of Gettysburg that Picott's men made their charge which has gone into history as one of the most heroic assaults of all time. It was forlorn hope but it was grasped and the men of George Edward Pickett, Confederate soldier, went loyally and with full hearts to their death across a shrapnel and rifle swept field. When the third day's fighting opened it began with an artillery duel, hundreds of guns belching forth shot and death from the batteries of both contending forces. It is said that this was the greatest duel engaged in by field pieces during the four years of the war between the states. The Union guns at one time ceased firing, and it is said that the southern commander thought they had been silenced, and then it was that Long-street's men made an assault and Pickett's men made their charge. The former general's objective was Big Round Top, but his forces were driven back. Picket formed his division in brigade columns and they moved directly across the fields over flat ground. They had no cover and they had no sooner come into effective range than they were met by such a storm of shot as never before swept over a field of battle. They went on and on, and on closing in their depleted ranks and moving steadily forward to their death. Those of Pickett's men who reached Maj. Gen. John F. Reynolds. their destination had a short hand-to-hand encounter with the northern soldiers. It was soon over and Pickett's charge, glorious for all time in history, was a failure in that which attempted to do, but was a success as helping to show the heroism of American soldiers. The losses at Gettysburg on both sides were enormous. The Union army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth, Weed and Reynolds, killed; while Graham, Barnes, Gibbon, Warren, Doubleday, Barlow, Sickles, Butterfield and Hancock were wounded. The total casualties killed, wounded, captured or missing on the Union side numbered nearly 24,000 men. On the Confederate side Generals Semmes, Pender, Garnet, Armistead, and Barksdale were killed, and Generals Kemper, Kimbal, Hood, Heth, Johnson and Trimble were wounded. The entire Confederate loss is estimated to have been nearly 30,000 men. The third day's fight at Gettysburg was a victory for northern arms, but it was a hard won fight and the conflict reflects luster today upon the north and the south. Lee led his army back southward, later to confront Grant in the campaigns which finally ended at Appomattox. **Forces Engaged and Losses.** The forces engaged at the Battle of Gettysburg were: Confederate—According to official accounts the Army of North Virginia, on the 31st of May, numbered 74,468.

This Was An Increase of 820,441 Tons Over 1911, and Output Was Valued at $16,345,336. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Trinidad.-Colorado is the most important coal-producing state west of Mississippi river and ranks seventh among all the states. The coal mined in 1912 was 10,977,824 short tons, an increase of 820,441 tons over 1911, according to E. W. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey at Washington. The value increased from $14,747,764 to $16,345,336. This increased production may be attributed to the bountiful crops and general prosperity throughout the state, which naturally created an improved condition in the coal trade, particularly in the last four months of the year. There was much complaint of deficiencies in labor and car supplies. The coal-mining industry of Colorado was singularly free from labor troubles in 1912, an output of practically 11,000,000 tons being won without a strike or suspension, so far as reported. The United States Bureau of Mines reports a total of ninety five deaths from accidents in the coa mines of Colorado in 1912, an increase of four over 1911. Utah, New Mexico and Montana each broke their previous records last year, while Colorado showed a big increase—a gain of 820,441 tons. Utah produced 3,000,000 tons, a 20 per cent increase over last year; New Mexico 3,100,000, and Montana 3,000,000.

Bids will again be asked for the construction of the federal building at Grand Junction. A pencil sketch of plans for L. Junta's new theater has been submitted to the opera house building committee. The coroner's jury at Cripple Creek returned a verdict that J. L. Bacou died from a wound made with suicidal intent. Mrs. Horace Osborn, of Montrose, was found dead in her bed. She had been a sufferer from heart trouble for years. Fire destroyed the barn and its contents on the farm of J. M. Barnes, at Rocky Ford. The loss is estimated at $500. James H. Colwell, a convict on parole, is under arrest at Loveland, charged with breaking the rules of his parole. F. C. Burke, of Montezuma, had his face and body badly cut up by the explosion of a defective cap at his mine near Montezuma. John Schwilke, a rancher of Boulder county, living near Lyons, is dead as the result of being kicked in the abdomen by a colt. The first civil service examination for fourth-class postmasters in the history of the state will be held at Colorado Springs July 26. Frank Howbert completed his services as collector of internal revenue at Denver and Mark A. Skinner, President Wilson's appointee, took over the office. Three accidents, one of them resulting fatally, have been reported as the result of preparations for the Fourth of July celebration at Steamboat Springs. The State Supreme Court has denied a writ of supersedeas in the case of County Judge William H. Harrison against John P. Allan for the judgement of Lake county. Frank Rosse, 45, was taken into Greeley by Sheriff J. McAfee from Hungerford, Weld county, where he is said to have attempted to rob the safe of a lumber company. The Larimer County Fish and Game association received 10,000 bass and 5,000 trout fry to be placed in the Ryan gulch reservoir as a fish preserve for members of the association. Her dress catching fire from an overturned lamp, Mrs. S. W. Morris, prominent in Socialist work in Fort Collins, was probably fatally burned at her home, 617 Maple street. Colorado drank less beer, less distilled spirits and smoked fewer cigars and cigarettes during the past year than in 1911, according to the internal revenue report for the district. Miss Goldie Merrill, 18, who was struck by a street car at Colorado Springs, is in Bethel hospital in critical condition. She sustained a fractured skull and internal injuries. Denver's new postoffice and the Gas and Electric building will be reproduced in detail at the grand Central palace in New York next September when the Colorado Industrial exposition's exhibit is staged. Nearly all the ranchmen of the Tomichi and Cochetopa, and the residents of Sillisville, and business houses at Gunnison, have signed a petition to have a rural mail route established from Gunnison up the Tomichi and Cochetopa creeks to McDough's ranch, distance about thirty miles. Said to be unaware that her unexplained absence has caused her father to fear she had fallen into the hands of evil-disposed persons and that the police throughout the state were on the lookout for her, Miss Lucy Smith, daughter of J. W. Smith, of Berthoud, returned to Fort Collins. The seventh annual gathering of the Boulder county Hawkeyes held at Boulder Chautauqua grounds proved the largest and most successful one ever held, there being from 350 to 400 in attendance throughout the day. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Negro chauffeurs no longer are permitted within the petrol-flavored precincts of many of the best garages of New York and each day sees accessions to the list of these auto-storage places where the brother in black is not wanted. The chauffeur may be only a quadroon, an octooron even, but standing firmly by the adage "a nigger is a nigger even if you white-wash him" the garage proprietors refuse sanctuary to the machine he drives. Whether the white chauffeurs are banded together in league against the black is not clear, but certain it is that garage proprietors are daily inviting auto owners with Negro chauffeurs to store their machines elsewhere. "If I keep your machine," one auto-owner was informed, "I shall lose six or eight now stored here. It's a business matter with me." Really things are coming to a pretty pass here in the north. New York city's Negro population is growing steadily, and as fast as he is driven from one occupation the black is entering those fields which, either because they are new or because hitherto they have been occupied entirely by whites, have not yet been closed to him. From the housebuilding trades and the mechanical fields he is largely excluded. The chauffeur is a development of the past ten years and it is only lately that he has become a factor. Office work thus far is limited to office boy and messenger service, but if this thing keeps up he will develop into a bookkeeper, office manager or corporation director, while his sister will be seeking employment as a hello girl or stenographer. But the sense of justice so strongly characteristic of the white brother in this neck of the woods will soon see to it that the Negro wins the privilege of holding down any position which the white man does not need, provided the Negro understands that the white man is entitled to every available job in every line of work. The south handles its problems in its own way and there the "downtrodden" black seems really contented with the fact that no protest ever is made that he is invading the white man's fields. He keeps to his own but the southern white man has arranged matters so that there is work for every Negro who will work. The housebuilding trades, the mechanical fields, and occupations of many kinds are open to him, while the fact that socially and otherwise he is kept apart has developed a large and growing field of financial and commercial endeavor in which the better minds and hands find profitable employment. The Negro banker, real estate operator, retailer, lawyer, physician, dentist and publisher are found in every southern town, and a Negro board of trade can usually be found doing its part in the promotion of community interests. But then, everybody knows that the south mistreats its Negroes while the north calls him "mister" and sympathizes.—New York Commercial. Aunt Letty Garner, colored, 106 years, three months and 16 days old, whose friends claim she was the oldest woman in Dauphin county, died at Harrisburg, Pa., at the city almshouse. She came to Harrisburg in 1863, after she was liberated from a plantation in Virginia. Her friends were able to tell her exact age, as the master of the plantation on which she worked kept a record of all births among his slaves. The new Y. M. C. A. building for negroes at Chicago was formally dedicated a few days ago. Preceding the program at the building there was a parade in which marched the Eighth infantry, Illinois National guard; Knights Templar of Illinois and jurisdiction; Twelfth regiment of patriarchs, G. U. O. of O. F.; the negro Masonic orders; Great Lakes lodge No. 43, I. B. P. O. E. of the W.; and the United Brothers of Friendship. The building is the finest structure for this patronage in the world, made possible through considerable local benefactions, and is considered by negro leaders the most important event in the local history of their race.

The earliest attempt at sewing by machinery of which there is any authentic record was in 1775, in which year a machine was patented in England by Charles F. Weisenthal. Germany exported 6,000,000 tons of iron and steel last year, as compared with 5,400,000 tons in 1911 and 4,800,000 tons in 1910. Curved metal shields, to be strapped to the head to train eyebrows into graceful curves, are the invention of an Illinois woman. Lattevi Ajaji, a young African prince, is now in Booker Washington's school at Tuskegee. Ajaji is the lineal heir to a kingdom as large as Texas, with a population of more than three million blacks; he came to this country to study agriculture. In the Journal of American Folklore, Dr. John A. Lomax describes a meeting with this young prince, who will soon return to Africa when graduated, with a Texas negro girl to whom he is now engaged: "He came into my room quietly and stood with some embarrassment before me, as erect as 2 soldier, while I questioned him. Although plainly ill at ease, his dignity was impressive. His eyes met my look squarely, and he gave my questions prompt, thoughtful answers. He had not learned to dissemble any more than has a wild animal suddenly taken captive." Ajaji's grandfather is the present king of the Yoruba people who live north of the Gulf of Guinea, in West Central Africa. John Thomas Blackwell, aged eighty-seven years, a feeble-minded colored man, applied at the Suffolk (Va.) police station last night for lodging. He had funds, but desired, he said, to be in a safe place. Blackwell has just returned from Richmond, where he enlisted the sympathy and aid of the capital city newspapers in his search for his brother, from whom he was separated 68 years ago. He was owned in slavery days by Dr. Stevenson, of Winchester. He and his brother, in 1855, were sold for $500 each to Baltimore speculators. John L. Blackwell was sold to persons in New Orleans for $750, and twice more was sold, bringing $1,000 and $1,800. He has spent much time and money seeking the brother from whom he was torn 68 years ago. The papers have not been able to find any trace of the brother. Blackwell has never worn a pair of shoes in his life. His footgear consists of sandals, which he makes himself. A generation and a half of freedom may not have taught the colored man all of the white man's virtues, but there were few negroes a generation ago who owned homes or horses, who could read and write, who had any thought beyond the crude comfort of the moment. Some of the hopes and ideals of the time immediately following emancipation and enfranchisement have faded for the rural colored man, but he is slowly acquiring a new racial outlook and a new self-respect. A negro farmer died recently in a rich wheat growing region of northern Delaware leaving a fortune of $20,000 in lands and live stock, a family of children to whom he had given a fair education and notions of thrift and a reputation among his white neighbors of being absolutely honest and as respectable as any man of any color. Establishment of a negro university in the north was the principal consideration, of the New England Baptist convention in session at Washington. The convention went over the question of the proposed institution and voted $10,000 toward its endowment fund. The convention also issued an address to the country decrying the existence of race prejudice.

Disposal of Sets a Big Problem for Officials of Navy Department—Each Year Lengthens List of Retired Vessels. A problem that is confronting the officials of the navy department is the proper disposition of the valuable presentation silver services that have been taken from the old vessels of the navy as they have been ordered out of commission. As each year lengthens the list of retired vessels, the amount of treasure that the government finds on its hands increases tion of the valuable presentation silver services that have been taken from the old vessels of the navy as they have been ordered out of commission. As each year lengthens the list of retired vessels, the amount of treasure that the government finds on its hands increases steadily, and there is now stored away thousands of dollars of this silver for which no use has been devised. Practically every battleship in the United States navy carries its silver set presented by the citizens or the legislature of the state for which it was named. These sets range in value from $5,000 to $25,000 and contain anywhere from 100 to 200 pieces. Many of the ships of smaller class, such as the cruisers and torpedo destroyers, which have been named for cities or individuals, also have their complimentary silver sets and the total value of all such silver ware in the navy is now more than a half million dollars. As long as the ship is in commission this presentation set is carried in a glass case in the officers' mess, where it is kept under lock and key by the captain. Only on rare occasions do its chaste and filigreed pieces deck the dining table, and form an elaborate setting for the banquets of state. Only in one way has the government found an outlet for all the silverware on its storage books. In many cases, when a new ship is constructed that bears the same name as did a predecessor, the old presentation set is placed on the new vessel and a new lease on life is given it in more modern surroundings. One or two of the newest ships of the navy are carrying old sets of this kind. One plan that has been indicated for the disposition of these unused sets is that they should be placed on exhibition in one of the national museums. So far, the navy department has taken no action on this plan. Only the silverware presented to the old battleship Maine, that was taken from the mud of Havana harbor and carefully cleaned and scoured, has been placed on view. It forms one of the interesting relics of the vessel in the war, state and navy building in Washington. Most valuable of all the services that are being carried by the ships of the navy is that of the battleship Pennsylvania. This service was purchased with an appropriation by the Pennsylvania state legislature, and presented by the governor. It cost $25,000 and consists of 250 pieces, including candlesticks, candelabras and many knicknacks. The Louisiana carries a service that cost the citizens of that state $15,000; the school children and residents of Utah presented to the vessel of that a $10,000 set of silver that includes a centerpiece costing $800, two candelabras costing $970 and four candlesticks costing $270; while the Georgia, the Delaware, the Mississippi and a number of other battleships have services of equal value. The battleship Indiana, for which the people of Indiana, through the legislature, purchased an expensive silver service, is now held on the reserve list, and will within the next few years be replaced by a new and more modern engine of war. Some months ago there was talk of using the battleship for target purposes, but the idea was abandoned, for the time being at least. For a long time the Indiana has been lying at the navy yard at Philadelphia, though she is at this time being made ready for service again. Increase for Indians Secretary of the Interior Lane has signed an order, which becomes effective July 1, providing that all Indian funds on deposit to the credit of superintendents of the various agencies that hitherto have not drawn interest shall be placed upon an interest-bearing basis at the same rate that prevails in the localities where the money is deposited. It is estimated that these accounts approximate $1,000,000, and the order of Secretary Lane will increase the income of the individual Indians $30,000 per year on a basis of three percent, per annum. The order is based upon an investigation conducted by Otis L. Benton, supervisor of Indian funds, and has been recommended by Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs F. H. Abbott. Strange Indian Names New and strange Indian names continually are being added to the government pay rolls. The treasury department recently sent warrants drawn to the order of the following allottees of lands in the west: Mary Full Stomach, John Brings Home the Baby, George Circle Foot, Kettle Woman, Susan Howling Horse, She Paints Her Shoes, Helen Crows, Like Water and Edward Useful Heart. Indian nomenclature has full play on this pay roll, the most interesting in the files of the government. W. Lanier Washington Presents Valuable Relics—One Is a Patent to Estate. W. Lanier Washington of New York city has presented to the board of regents of the Mount Vernon Ladies' association a number of valuable relics that descended to him from Gen. George Washington. In addition to these relics, he has also sent to them a reproduction of the only oil portrait ever made of Gen. Washington's mother. The original is in his possession, and has been pronounced by an expert from the Metropolitan Museum of Art a fine example of the portraiture work of that period. The identity of the artist has not been established. Another valuable gift, to be added to the collection of Washington relics, is the original patent of deed, signed by Lord Culpeper, to 5,000 acres of land which subsequently descended to Washington and of which the present Mount Vernon estate is a part. The document is dated 1674 and is in a good state of preservation. In 1848, the collection of books forming Gen. Washington's library was sold by the members of the Washington family who had inherited them to a Boston syndicate, which purchased them for the Boston Atheneum, where they now are. For several years, the library committee of the Mount Vernon Ladies' association has tried to induce the officials of the Boston Atheneum to return the books to their original home, but without success. While these negotiations have been in progress the regents have made a wide search for any scattered volumes that once formed a part of Washington's library, and have been successful in obtaining a limited number of such books. To the few originals which they have acquired they have been adding from time to time duplicate volumes of the same edition as those in the Boston Atheneum whenever they have been procurable. A number of duplicate volumes of this edition also have bene received recently as gifts. WHITE HOUSE IS SPLENDID Everything in the Mansion Is as Fine as a Great System Can Possibly Make It. The White House, over which Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is the new mistress, is as splendid as any palace. Everything in the White House is as fine and orderly as a great system can make it. Congress appropriates each year $25,000 for the care and furnishing of the executive mansion. While the wives of the presidents order some changes to keep abreast of the times and to renew any scratched or damaged furniture, much of the charm of the place comes from its furniture and silver, dating back to the earliest presidents Some of the show furnishings of the White House are: A gold piano, valued at $22,000, two wonderful blue Sevres vases valued at $5,000 each, oil portraits of priceless value, including one of Martha Washington, chandeliers containing 6,300 pieces of crystal, carpets and draperies of great value and rarity, several sets of chinaware containing each 1,550 pieces. Marble and gold leaf combine with the richest materials in furnishings to make the White House a fitting home for the natioin's chief executive. CAPITAL FASCINATES WOMEN There Is Renaissance of the Spirit of True Hospitality and Delicate Courtesy. Washington has a peculiar fascination for women. Ask any congressman why he desires to remain in Washington, and he will answer, "My wife likes it." "It is the woman in the case," remarked a cynical bachelor congressman, "who decides upon Washington." Once immersed in the whirl of society, where national celebrities, past and present, mingle freely together, the woman in Washington is soon under the fascination of society that is so often read about and so seldom experienced elsewhere. The first session of the Democratic house and senate was coeval with an overture of social liveliness that takes some of the sharp edge off the tariff ax. As was anticipated, many new society leaders have appeared in Washington, and largely from the south, and there follows a renaissance of the spirit of true southern hospitality, and delicately toned courtesy and attention in social affairs, such as has not been known for years past. Makes Big Saying. The navy department has saved $3,352,377.92 in thirteen years in the manufacture of gun powder. Thirteen years ago after an investigation of the charges of the powder trust for powder for the big and small guns of the navy, it was decided to build a powder making plant at Indian Head, Md. Since the plant has been in operation the government has saved the amount named by the secretary. Secretary Daniels points to this economy in the expectation that it will be adequate reply to those who assert that a government-owned armor plate plant will be a costly venture. Only Three Jobs. Those who are trying to get into the agricultural department without civil service examination might as well understand in the beginning that there are but three jobs in the department that are not under the classified service.

REPAIRING DONE WHILE YOU WAIT NATURAL GAS LOSS Government Document Shows a Deplorable Condition. Situation Has Improved Since the Operators Have Learned to Close the Wells, but the Waste Is Still Immense In Places. Washington.—The history of the natural gas industry of the United States is an appalling record of incredible waste, according to Ralph Arnold and Frederick G. Clapp, authors of technical paper 38 of the United States bureau of mines on the subject, "Wastes in the Production and Utilization of Natural Gas and Means of Their Prevention." In this technical paper, which has just been issued by the bureau, are the following statements from the authors: "There was evidently no great waste of gas in this country before 1873, as no large gas fields had been discovered, although gas was always wasted in oil production. In 1878 a well of great volume and pressure was struck at Murraysville, Pa., 20 miles east of Pittsburgh, and the gas from this well was allowed to flow to waste for three years, with no effort to check it. Up to this time the belief that natural gas was inexhaustible seemed to be universal, just as in later years a similar opinion prevailed regarding the forests, coal and many minerals, and hence it was not until 15 or 20 years after the first utilization of gas that the pronounced decline of production caused the truth to dawn upon producers and consumers—that the supply was indeed limited. "The waste of natural gas has drawn the attention of the entire country, and because the waste threatens the life of gas fields it has prevented many investors from building plants in the various fields, thereby depriving the localities of increased population and wealth. In considering the question of waste it must be understood that the geologic occurrence of the gas in the sandstone, sand or limestone reservoirs is such that the flow of gas from one well causes a decrease in the flow of others and a reduction of the supply throughout the entire field. "Instances are common where carelessness and indifference in drilling have resulted in waste of gas from formations penetrated above the regular sand. "In other instances, if the formations are loose, the gas sand fairly shallow, the pressure great, and the proper precautions are not taken in setting the casing, the gas may escape around the casing, loosening the ground rapidly, and ultimately gaining sufficient volume and pressure to blow the casing from the well. Such 'blow-outs' have happened a number of times in the Texas and Caddo fields. They are likely to occur in the first wells drilled in any field before the conditions attending the gas pockets are generally known. Some excuse may exist for the occurrence of one such 'blow-out' in a new field, before the presence of the high-pressure gas pocket is known, but there is usually little reason for a second or a subsequent 'blow-out' in a field, because precautions can be taken to prevent it." "Waste in drilling is not so great as formerly, because at the present time drillers have usually every facility at hand to close a well as soon as completed. By proper preparation most wells can be packed, tubed and shut in within two hours. According to the conservation commission of Louisiana, the waste from the two principal 'wild' wells in Louisiana had its beginning more from a lack of knowledge of what precautions would be effective that from negligence or indifference. The waste from the first big gas well encountered in drilling for oil in the Buena Vista hills field of California was due to the unexpectedness of the great flow and to local inexperience in handling such pressures. This well was controlled only after a Texas operator had been engaged to do the work. "The most notorious waste at present is in Oklahoma, Louisiana and California. The commission on the conservation of the natural resources in Louisiana, after an exhaustive examination of the situation in the Caddo field, found that the waste approximated 75,000,000 cubic feet per 24 hours, an amount equal to 20 times what the city of Shreveport uses now in the same space of time, and equal to one-twentieth of the amount consumed by the entire United States. "It also found that the value of the gas wasted from a single 'wild' well in that state was in excess of $2,000 per day." DOUBLE BARRELED. Carter Glass, representative in congress from the sixth district of Virginia, had his picture taken in his office not long ago. While the photographer was arranging his camera Mr. Glass remarked that he hoped the picture wouldn't flatter him too much. "I had some taken once," he said. "to give to my friends. One I gave to a neighbor down in Lynchburg, who placed it on the mantelpiece in the parlor. "Not long after it had been placed there, Aunt Hannah, an old colored woman, who had known me since I was a boy, was called in to help with the housecleaning. She was working away in the parlor when the mis- tress of the house came in to see how the work was progressing. "Aunt Hannah, resting on her broom, pointed toward the picture on the mantel and asked: "Missy, who am de gemman in de photograf?" "The lady replied that it was Mr. Glass. "Does ye mean Marse Ca'tab Glass?" inquired the old woman. "Yes, of course," replied her mistress. "Well, fo' de lan' sake!" exclaimed Aunt Hannah. 'Ah guess Ah never seen dat side ob his face befo'."' By this time the camera man had his apparatus arranged and the pictures were quickly made. When the finished product came to the office Mr. Glass glanced at them hastily and hurried down the hall to show them to his colleague, Representative Jones. Mr. Jones looked them over carefully, but passed no comment. "What's the matter? Don't you like them?" inquired Glass. "Why, yes, I like them," replied Jones, "but who sat for them?" HOME LIFE OF CONGRESSMEN. In Congress Hall hotel, located near the Capitol building, eighty congressmen are domiciled. They are of all parties and beliefs, but on Sunday evening the neighborly spirit of all men of all climes is manifested. The program follows no order, and is limited to no special number of "artists." There is no lack of volunteers, however, and the piano is kept going with song and music. Congressman Falconer of Washington walks bravely to the piano and sings, followed by other colleagues, and down through the corridor ring the voices of the people's representatives in Sunday evening song. There is hearty and enthusiastic applause, and little groups gather all about the lobby, having a good old-fashioned time. Later in the evening the singing naturally drifts to the old-time songs; there is a hush, the chairs cease rocking, and the conversation softens as the old heart songs are sung, awakening memories of the folks at home—for there are congressmen who get homesick in spite of an attractive salary and the honor of serving the government under the Capitol dome. The heartfulness of the home life of the American people as indicated in these gatherings of congressmen is one of the most fascinating and charming aspects of American democracy.—National Magazine. CAPITAL'S PURCHASING BUREAU By the establishment of a communal warehouse and the creation of a bureau which will supervise the purchase of all supplies, the local government of the District of Columbia expects not only to save thousands of dollars annually in the operation of the capital, but to point a way for other cities to improve their systems. A special committee has been at work for some time past mapping out the plans. The main advantages that will accrue, the committee believes, will be the prevention of "leaks" in the acquisition of supplies through a coordination of the various purchasing offices. Equipped with a central warehouse, advantage also could be taken of prices when the market is low. Another function of the bureau will be its supervision of property acquired, and it will be given full authority to demand an accounting from employees for the condition of municipal property. Inquiry into the proposed reform was made by Alonzo Tweedale, auditor of the district; W. A. McFarland, superintendent of the water department, and M. C. Hargrove, purchasing officer. The district commissioners have authorized the adoption of the plan. CROP PRICES LOWER. Producers in the United States were receiving for their staple crops 28 per cent less on June 1 than at the same time last year, 5.1 per cent, less than in 1911, and 9.2 less than in 1910. The average price for corn on June 1 was 60.6 cents, against 82.5 last year; for wheat, 82.7, against 102.8; for oats 36, against 55.3; for barley, 52.7, against 91.1; for rye, 64.1, against 86.1, and for potatoes 55.2, against 119.7. Prices paid for meat animals on May 15, according to the department of agriculture, averaged about 10.7 per cent, higher than at the same time last year, 27.7 higher than two years ago, but 4 per cent, lower than in 1910. The average price for hogs per 100 pounds on May 15 was $7.45, against $6.79 last year; for beef cattle $6.01, against $5.36; for veal calves, $7.17, against $6.23; for sheep $4.91, against $4.74, and for lambs $6.66, against $6.16. Wasted Telephone Talk. Those who have made a close calculation declare that from one-quarter to one-half a minute is wasted by the average telephone user just in getting under way in talking. The necessary talk on the average could be condensed to one minute. The "goodbys" and the "don't forgets" that exceed in time just the saying of these words once consume another full minute. This divides the average call into three parts, only one of which is indispensable. Cases are know where women subscribers call up a regular circle of friends every morning just for a chat. They have nothing important to say, but treat the matter as if they had met their acquaintance or friend on the street and had stopped to "pass the time of day." HOUSTON SAYS RURAL SCHOOLS INEFFICIENT MRS. MENNINGER TEACHES THE BIBLE BY MAIL MRS. MENNINGER TEACHES THE BIBLE BY MAIL HOW YOUNG MILLIONAIRE PROVED HIS WORTH GAVE UP HER TITLE FOR LOVE OF LIEUTENANT "The most neglected and the most inefficient of all American institutions today is the rural school," said David Franklin Houston, secretary of agriculture, when asked the other day to talk on the most urgent problem faced in the work of improving country life conditions, of making life more attractive in centers which are producing, the nation's food supply. school," said David Franklin Houston, secretary of agriculture, when asked the other day to talk on the most urgent problem faced in the work of improving country life conditions, of making life more attractive in centers which are producing the nation's food supply. "Our boys and girls of the country," said Secretary Houston, "are not given a square deal, so far as their education is concerned, and there is little wonder that they are flocking to the cities. Most people will admit that country boys and girls should have an opportunity for as good an education as the city boys and girls receive, but we know that they are not getting it from the rural school. "A glance at a few figures will show why the children of the country are not getting fair treatment. In the whole United States there is a reported expenditure of more than $440,000,000 a year for school purposes, with an investment in school property of $1,220,000,000 and an enrollment of approximately 18,000,000 pupils. These figures are inspiring when we are boasting of the greatness of the American public school, but our enthusiasm drops suddenly when we consider what share of the expenditure goes to rural education. "The enrollment of the rural schools is more than 65 per cent. of the total enrollment, but the annual expenditure for rural schools is less than 40 per cent. of the total, and the in- Topeka, Kan., is to be the home of an unique religious institution, "Mrs. institution, "Mrs. Menninger's Bible Class." That's the title and the class is known among Bible students throughout the world and there are students now taking the courses in cities from Oakland, Cal., to Battle Creek, Mich., and there have been students in practically every state of Menninger's Bible Class." That's the title and the class is known among Bible students throughout the world and there are students now taking the courses in cities from Oakland, Cal., to Battle Creek, Mich., and there have been students in practically every state of the Union. The course of study requires 120 lessons, covering a period of four years, and the eighth graduating class held its commencement exercises in Topeka recently. There were 100 graduates this year, the largest number having ever received diplomas. The course of study covers the entire Old and New Testament, divided into four parts, each a year's work, with 30 lessons each. They are grouped as follows: Genesis to Kings, patriarchal; Kings to Malachi, prophets; Gospels, life of Christ; Epistles, or life of Paul. Three women who do not live in Topeka were there to graduate: Mrs. Nelia Gregg of Harrisburg, Ill.; Mrs. O. S. Johnston of Hutchinson and Mrs. Clara Hoaglin of Manhattan. The latter two formerly lived in Topeka and were members there of Mrs. Mennin- Papa Longyear of Boston is satisfied. He wanted all his children to in this country to be able to earn their own living despite the many millions he had piled up in mining and other fields of finance.

They have all made good and John Longyear, Jr., has so far followed the parental edict that even his wife can do the same and poverty has no fear for the two. Miss Elizabeth Barrett, the daughter of an electrical contractor at Houghton, Mich., is the immediate cause of the Longyear happiness. Papa Longyear has four children. Three of them are girls and all have been taught some useful occupation. Even the youngest has cultivated her voice and it is of the kind that is Romantic Archduchess Eleonore of Austria gave up her title to marry a naval lieutenant A. Her father, the Archduke Charles Stephen, second cousin of the emperor, had Lieut. von Glass assigned to the command of his yacht. On board he met the Archduchess Eleonore, and they fell in love, although there is no stricter court in the world as regards matters of rank. But Emperor Franz Josef is a soft- vestment in rural school property is less than 33 per cent. On a city child there is an average expenditure for education of $33 a year, but in the rural community the amount spent each year is only $13 for each scholar. Averages do not tell the whole story of the neglect of the country child, for the city the amount of money appropriated is spent under much more favorable conditions, with less waste and increased efficiency. "All persons who have the slightest acquaintance with the average country school knows the result of the inadequate financial support and the general neglect of these institutions. The teachers are poorly paid, and usually inexperienced and badly trained. There is a lack of supervision from top to bottom; equipment is almost always inadequate; surroundings are often insanitary and work in the school is lacking in efficiency and is usually unsuited to the life of the community. Frequently there is the baneful influence of politics. School teachers' salaries in rural sections range from $200 to $400, and in the cities from $500 to $1,800 to $2,000 or more. Rural school teachers get less than street laborers in cities, and in one place the superintendent reports that the pay is less than the average earnings of convicts. "We cannot hope to better conditions in rural education until teachers are paid a living wage, and until more money is put into equipment. Little can be expected from untrained, poorly paid girls, or men either, working with little or no supervision or assistance, without proper facilities, having many recitations from pupils of widely different ages each day during a few months of the year. The problems of a country school teacher are many. I know, for I served as the head of a typical one-teacher school when I was seventeen years old." ger's classes. Mrs. Gregg was a student in Mrs. Menninger's Bible classes for two summers at Winona, Ind., at the Chautauqua. She organized a class at Harrisburg, her home, and now has 94 students there. Miss Edna Beedle and Miss Mamie Chandler of Bazaar, Kan., who were taking the work, but did not graduate this year, were at the commencement as visitors. Almost four, hundred women and girls have been taking the Bible study work this year. There were 91 in the Tuesday classes for married women; 131 in the Y. M. C.

There are persons also taking the work in Oakland, Cal.; Portland, Ore.; Battle Creek, Mich.; El Paso, Tex.; Kirkwood, Mo.; Sherdan, Wyo.; Chicago, Santa Paula, Cal., and many Kansas towns, including Hutchinson, Manhattan, Ottawa, Cottonwood Falls and Bazaar. Fifteen years ago Mrs. Menninger began teaching the Bible, first in the Sunday school of the First Presbyterian church, but her success was such that there was not sufficient time to carry on the work in the school, so she arranged a special four-year course of study for week-day classes, and in addition has the normal training work for the Presbyterian Sunday school. She has graduated eight different classes which have completed the four-year course. worth "so much per" on the stage.

EXAMINE LAMAR IN LOBBY PROBE FORMER DENVER MAN BARES GIGANTIC WALL STREET BLUFF TO COMMITTEE. HOUSE TO INVESTIGATE RULES COMMITTEE TO REPORT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A BROAD INVESTIGATION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, July 2.—A story of misrepresentation, impersonation of public men and organized effort to influence huge Wall Street financial operations, probably without parallel in the history of congressional investigation, was unfolded yesterday before the lobby committee. It was told by a prosperous-looking, self-possessed individual calling himself David Lamar of New York, but who admitted that at one time he had lived in Denver, where he was known as David H. Lewis. His real name he refused to give. He denied that he had ever been known as Simon Wolf, and smiled as his nickname in Wall Street, "The Wolf," was mentioned. With entire abandon, arousing the committee to laughter at times by his naive admissions, he told of his impersonations, his participation in attempts to influence Wall Street operations and his association with Edward Lauterbach, a New York lawyer, in efforts to have Lauterbach retained by the Morgan firm, the Union Pacific and other great interests to head off congressional activity in Washington. Lewis Cass Ledyard of New York, counsel for the Morgan firm, was one of his attempted victims. Mr. Ledyard came to the witness stand armed with almost a verbatim account of all the conversations held with Lamar, who had represented himself as Congressman Palmer. As he read the record of the conversations, in themselves unusual in their tone, Lamar, sitting nearby, laughed and nodded, saying, "that's right," and slapping his leg with apparent enjoyment. The purpose of his impersonations, Lamar contended, was to secure reinstatement for his friend, Edward Lauterbach, in the good graces of the Morgan firm. Lamar denied that there had been any attempt at extorting money from any of the New York financial men. The story evolved during the day, mainly through the Ledyard testimony, indicated that the latter had been to various members of the Morgan firm, to tell them of the "steel trust" investigation resolution which Lamar had prepared; but that none of the Morgan firm members would pay any attention to the matter or make any effort to stop it. The Lauterbach incident, Lamar added, "paled into insignificance" compared with an $82,000,000 forgery which he alleged was committed on the Union Pacific books in 1961. Senator Stone took the stand before Ledyard had finished and denounced the whole thing as a malicious fabrication and a "common lie." Lamar laughingly clinched the matter by breaking in and admitting there was no truth in the allegations. House to Order Probe. A sweeping investigation of the lobbying charges made by Martin M. Mulhall involving members of the House will be authorized by the House probably on Saturday. TORRID WAVE IS BROKEN. During Four Days 222 Die in Chicago Heat. Chicago, July 3.—Eleven more persons perished of heat yesterday, notwithstanding the decided change in temperature. All the victims had been stricken by the heat during the terrible three-day siege, thus bringing the total in Chicago for the four-day period to 122 adults and more than a hundred babies. At the same time nearly 100 other deaths were reported from cities and towns in the Middle and Central West. Fresh lake breezes, which have permitted Chicago and vicinity to take a new grip on life, are scheduled to disappear today, according to the forecasters, who say a fresh blast of torridity is due to settle down over all the district affected in the death dealing siege.

Social Forms and Entertainments Celebrating the Tin Wedding. An author who was about to celebrate the tenth anniversary of her marriage describes her plans in this way: "For refreshments, will serve coffee in tin cup, with tin spoons, and dainty sandwiches on tin plates; will pass water in a tin pail, using a tin dipper. All refreshments will be passed in tin pans, the waiters will use tin coffee pots to refill the coffee cups. For a centerpiece for the table, will use a large tin cake pan, with an opening in the center, in which a small fish horn can be placed, the cake pan and fish horn both being filled with flowers. Shall decorate the rooms with tin as far as possible. In one archway shall use tin plates tied together with ribbon, a small hole being punched in the plates for the purpose. This will form a curtain for one archway. In another archway shall use tin cups for the same purpose. Tin candlesticks can be used if one is fortunate enough to have them. Wire toasters tied with ribbon can be hung on the walls to hold photographs. Small tin spoons tied with ribbons can be given as souvenirs, being passed around by the waiters, in a tin dust pan." A few more suggestions would be that the bride carry her bouquet in a tin funnel and the bridegroom could have a very small tin horn in his buttonhole containing a small bouquet. Potted plants and flowers may be set in tin pails for jardinieres and vases, and small tin basins can be passed instead of finger bowls. Tin foli may be put to various decorative uses, not forgetting to wrap the bonbons in it. A Bluebird Party. Cut the cards on which to write the questions from blue water color board or from heavy blue paper and they should be bird shaped. The answers are all birds and children will love this game. As a reward a "bluebird" pin might be a suggestion: 1. A child's plaything. (Kite). 2. What you do at every meal. (Swallow). 3. Nothing, twice yourself and fifty. (Owl). Less than the whole and the top of a house. (Partridge). Equality and decay. (Parrot). A celebrated English architect. (Wren.) A tailor's implement. (Goose). Part of an ancient fireplace. (Crane). A girl's nickname and a baked dish. (Magpie). A turbulent country. (Turkey). To spoil and half a score. (Marten). Popular in baseball season. (Bat). A bit of wood and a disturbance. (Sparrow). A Novel Sewing Shower There were 12 neighborhood girls who had grown up together and when the first one announced her engagement and approaching marriage, the others decided to give her a sewing shower. Each one brought a yard of dainty figured lawn and the hostess supplied patterns for the following articles which were useful and easily made in the afternoon. There was lace, beading, ribbon, embroidery cotton, needles and thread on hand and the girls worked merrily. Here is what the happy little bride-elect took home: Small aprons, a sunbonnet, a slumber-pillow cover, a hair-combing jacket, a corset bag and a set of bureau drawer sachets. The refreshments were: Lettuce sandwiches, lemonade, green-and-white frosted cakes and pistachio ice cream They were served on little tables covered with white dolls. Menu for a Spinster Tea Several weeks ago I had several requests for ideas for "spinister" affairs, of bachelor maids' parties. I just found this clever menu that would be just the thing to use at such a party, and hope it will not be too late to help out. 1. Always in pair. 2. Would they were here. 5. Warranted to pop. 8. High backed comb. 9. Cause of woe. 10. Courtship. 11. A lover. 12. Our tears. 13. Left over. KEY TO THE MENU. 1. Cup and saucer. 2. Jolly boys. 3. Curled molasses chips. 8. Honey in comb. 9. Spiced tongue. 10. Mush. 11. A spoon. 12. Salt. 13. Heart (baked). A Good Thing to Know. To increase the lasting capacity of candles, kep them in the ice box for 24 hours before using. They will burn much slower, and to the up-to-date hostess who uses candles constantly this is quite an item. It is quite customary to light the dining room almost entirely with candles placed around the room or the plate rail, mantel and sideboard. These are not shaded, and it is a very pretty idea to have individual candles at each plate. These are usually shaded to protect the eyes. A Jack Horner Pie "Shower." This is a pretty way to present the gifts to a bride at a shower if the articles are small like hosiery or handkerchiefs. Make a Jack Horner pie in the colors the hostess wishes to have and when dessert time comes (if the occasion is a luncheon) ask each guest to pull her ribbon and as the package is forthcoming, each one has some excuse to find like "This piece of pie is too large, please hand it to Miss B—(the honored guest). And the next one says: "My piece is very much too small, just pass it to Miss B—". This makes loads of fun and opening the parcels add zest to the occasion. It is well to have an appropriate sentiment written on the donor's card to be read aloud. Handkerchiefs and stockings may be rolled and concealed in tissue paper with fringed ends and so look like the snapping motto favors so popular at all social functions. The ribbons tied around each one and all put within the pie. MADAME MERRI. Charming keks for Indoor Wear THEIR POINTS OF VIEW By SARAH E. HIPP. She was about nineteen and she wore a canoe-shaped hat with one red rose dangling rakishly off the back of the brim. Her cheeks were as pink as a baby's. The headgear of her male companion had a little bow at the rear. His trousers had cuffs at the ankles and he had not shaved often enough to have acquired the whitish-gray complexion of a grown up man. The two fell into the chairs at the little table in the confectionery store and ordered chocolate sodas with the exuberance of youth. "Goodness!" said she, following with her eyes a middle aged couple who had entered and taken a table in a corner. "Shouldn't you think when people were as old as that they would have got over caring for soda water and ice cream?" "I should say so," agreed the young man. His expression was distinctly pitying as he watched the newcomers. The man was getting portly and, while the woman's hair was arranged in the latest mode, it was sprinkled with gray and she had a decided matronly look. One could be certain that she had tucked all the children in bed before she and dad started for their evening stroll. "Wouldn't you hate to be as old as that?" said the young man. "What do you suppose people find to enjoy in life at that age?" "Goodness knows!" said the pretty girl. "They can't go to dances any more or have any sort of fun! I should think it would be perfectly awful! I read about a woman once who was a famous beauty and when she found her first gray hair she died of a broken heart. I know just how she felt!" "You'll never get gray!" comforted the young man. "Not if you live to be 100. But I should think people like those over there would envy young A "Playing With Tops and Dolls Yet." folks like us when they saw them getting so much enjoyment out of life! Why, they aren't even talking to each other only now and then! They're just bored with existence. I don't wonder!" "I should think," said the pretty girl as she daintily poised her spoon and watched the persons under discussion, "that they'd feel kind of silly coming in here and ordering anything so juvenile as sodas! It seems funny, somehow! You never think of old people liking such things!" "We'll never be as old as that," said the young man meditatively. "We won't let ourselves get so old. I can't imagine you getting old, anyway. You'll always be just as slim and girlish as you are now—" "And think of you as fat as that man!" she trilled with laughter. "I suppose they have grown so apathetic that they don't care! Poor things!" Meanwhile the middle aged man in the corner was saying to his wife: "That's a pretty girl over there with the funny shaped hat." "Yes," agreed his wife. "I may get one like it for Milly. How callow the boy with her looks! Somehow it always makes me want to cry when I see two interexperienced young things such as they are!" "I know," said her husband understandingly. "They are so beautifully sure of themselves and their knowledge of the world! When you think of all they've got to go through—" "And all the disillusionment and heartaches," said his wife. "And it takes so many years to get to the point where you can begin to understand and really enjoy life! I suppose they fancy they're having a good time!" "Silly children!" smiled her husband. "They're only playing with tops and dolls yet! I'll bet they haven't exchanged one sensible remark since they sat down there!" "She's got an engagement ring!" said his wife suddenly. "Think of infants like that marrying! Why, it's terrible!" "You were only eighteen when you married me," her husband reminded her. "That was different!" said his wife quickly. "We had more sense than those two! They are so terribly inexperlenced! Life must be so empty for them, really!" "But they think they're having a good time," said the man as they rose. "They don't know you have to be as old as we are before you're really happy! Poor things!"—Chicago Daily News. PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992. PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHOE ST.
