Washington President of the National Negro Business League, at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia. Wednesday Evening, August 20, 1913. VOL. XIX. Address Booke Was President of the National Neg Academy of Music, P Evening, Augu This, the fourteenth meeting of the National Negro Business League, marks also the fiftieth anniversary of our freedom as a race. It is, then, both timely and fitting that this great gathering of the representatives of the backbone and progress of our race should be held in Philadelphia. It is most appropriate that this meeting should take place after fifty years of freedom in the city where 137 years ago that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, was issued. Whether the American Negro was meant at the time to be included within the scope and meaning of the words of the Declaration of Independence has been a debatable question. However that may be decided, we mean as a race through this and similar organizations to make ourselves such useful and potent part of American citizenship that in all the future no one dare question our right to be included in any declaration that relates to any portion of the body politic. During the fifty years of our freedom we have been subjected to some pretty severe tests. First, there were not a few who raised the question as to whether or not the American Negro could survive in a state of freedom. We answer that question by showing that when freedom came to us we were 4,000,000 in number; now we have grown to over 10,000,000 free American citizens. This means that we have a population of American Negroes that is more than twice as large as the population of Australia, one and a half times as large as the whole population of Canada, and nearly twice as large as the combined population of Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark. These facts should put an end for all time to doubt about our ability to survive in a state of freedom. One other question was debated fifty years ago, and that was the question as to our ability to support ourselves from a physical and personal point of view. Their wree not a few who fifty years ago predicted that this newly freed race would become a perpetual burden upon the pocket-books of the na- tion. St was freely predicted that we would neither feed clothe nor shelter ourselves. Every year the American Congress is asked to appropriate between ten and twelve millions of dollars to be used largely in providing food, clothes and shelter for about 300,000,000 American Indians. While this is true of the American Indian (and I have nothing but the highest respect for the Indians) ever since the days of Reconstruction the American Negro has not called upon Congress to appropriate a single dollar to be used in providing either cloths, shelter or food for our race. Absolutely in all these personal matters we have supported ourselves and mean to do so in all the future, and very seldom in any part of this country does one find a black hand reached from a corner of a street asking for any man's personal charity. Within fifty years, then, we have proven that we can survive from a physical point of view, and we have proven that we could not only support ourselves but contribute taxes from $700,000,000 worth of property toward the suppot of local, state, and national government. Within the fifty years of our freedom we have been subjected to a third test that is one of the conditions of growth and premanency under the conditions of freedom. This third test embraces our ability to combine, to work in harness in the capacity of organized human beings. There can be little civilization and little progress without the capacity and the willingness to work together in organized groups: Fifty years ago we had almost no experience in working together as organized groups. During the past half century we have proven our ability to organize. We now have 62 banks under the control of black organizations. Fifty years ago we had few religious organizations. Now we have four great branches, to say nothing of smaller ones, having a total membership of 3,114,900 members or about 33 per cent of the race.

First and foremost, I call the attention of the race through this League to the fact that there are at least 200,000,000 acres of un used and unoccupied land in the Southern States. I am glad to say that we already own and occupy 20,000,000 acres, but this is only about two acres for each individual. All this means one thing: that the time has come when this Business League and other organizations should send for a voice which can be heard everywhere and cannot be misunderstood for a larger proportion of our race to leave the towns and cities and plant themselves in the country districts on the soil before it is too late. Verily it is true that here in the United States the words of the prophet of old are fulfilled, when he said there was a land awaiting the occupation of the people, that was "flowing with milk and honey." In our case as a race the milk will come from our own Jersey cows and the honey from our own kept bees. Forward to the land! should be our motto everywhere. Instead of owning 20,000,000 acres' we should within the next quarter of a century own 40,000,000 acres. To the man or M. PRESIDENT PETER J. HARRIS Dr. Booker T. Washington. the race who owns the soil all good things oome in time. Let us leave the fleeting and often deceiving easy life of the cities and get on God's green earth. I want to see members of my race that are now in too large numbers flocking to the cities, join the great world movement "back to the land," or better still, "forward to the land." Now as to our program for the --- future. We should make up our mind thoroughly that there is a permanent place in the country for us, and that we have more friends both in the North and the South than we have enemies. We should make up our minds that we are to use material gain and prosperity not as an end but as a means towards securing and enjoying the best things in our American life. What are our chances and what is the outlook? The large number of independent, prosperous and lawabiding black people right here in Philadelphia partly answers this question. What hundreds in Philadelphia have done others can do throughout the United States. Our race, like others, must be built upon an economic foundation as well as an intellectual, moral and religious one. Work more and more in these directions and neither we nor our children will be dependent upon the uncertainties of seeking and holding political office for our living. I repeat we must create positions for our selves—positions which no man can give nor take from us. The land, the forests, the minerals, the streams, sun and rain from which original wealth wealth comes draw no color line. Of the ten millions of black people in the United States, nine million at least belong to the ordinary, hard working classes. In all our planing for business success we will not, cannot succeed unless we get close to these hard working masses. They are the back bone of our race. We must not feel we are not a part of them nor must RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Huntington, W. Va., offers a good opening for a capable, hustling Negro undertaker.

I beg of youjin your local leagues that you get hold of the man who works with his pick and plow and of the woman who cooks, washes, irons, or sews. These people will put money in your banks and -support your other commercial enterprises. Finally as a race we must not be discouraged. There will come to us, as to all races, seasons of depression and gloom. Once in a while even those in high places may seem to seek to insult, humiliate, and harass us, but they cannot last. "The morning coneth." Those who treat us unjustly are losing more than we are. So often the keeper of the prison is on the outside but the freeman is on the inside. As I said in the beginning, we have more friends both North and South than enem. Let us advertise our friends more and our enemies less. We must not lose our faith in our white friends, and above all this we must have constant and unvarying faith in our own race. We must have pride of being a Negro as the Japanese is of being a Japanese. Let us go from this great meeting filled with a spirit of race pride rejoicing in the fact that we belong to a race that has made greater progress within fifty years than any race in history, and let each dedicate himself to the task of doing his part in making the ten million of black citizens in America an example for all the world in usefulness, law-abiding habits and high character. NO 51 Washington, August 8.—Ambitious Negroes who hoped to hold office under the present administration were given another shock when the president appointed former Congressman Madison R. Smith, of Missouri, to be Minister to Hayti. Republican presidents have for years given this post to Negroes. The government to which these diplomats are credited are run by Negroes. The population is almost wholly black and for these reasons American Negro politicians have come to regard the Haytian ministership as one of their choice plums President Wilson and Secretary Bryant however, decided that the relations between this and the Haytian governments would be in safer hands if a new policy were adopted. For this reason Smith has been named for the place. It became known, however, that the President had decided to fill one diplomatic berth with a Negro. He will nominate G. Williams Buckner, of Evansville, to be Minister to Liberia. Negroes in New York say they will boycott an exposition which will be held in that city in October to commorate the fiftieth anniversary of their freedom, unless the governor heeds hundreds of letters protesting against the work of nine Negro commissioners he appointed and orders the commission to change its course. Hunter C. Haynes, a Negro who helped draft the bill passed by the legislature last April, appropriating $25,000 for an industrial exposition and celebration, says the commission is planning an exposition to consist of sociological congresses, charts and African curios. Others of the colored race are demanding the work and progress of the Negroes of New York state be portrayed, since the bill specifically states the exposition is to be for that purpose: "Fifty years of my race's most serious history." Haynes said, "have been connected with political degradation Now, when we plan an exposition designed to do good, this commission makes a partisan affair of its work. It will be impossible to give a creditable exposition in such a short time. Nothing taugible has yet been done. More than $3,000 has been spent in salaries and in carrying out impractical ideas."

Senator Dorah of Idaho was so severely cut on the hand while opening a bottle of mineral water in the Senate cloak room that four stitches were necessary to close the wound.

FACES 20-YEAR TERM PRISONER'S WIFE AND PARENTS HEAR VERDICT; CAMINET- TI TRIAL BEGINS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. San Francisco, Aug. 21.—In eloping with Marsha Warrington from Sacramento, Calif., to Reno, New, Maury I. Diggs, former state architect of California, was guilty of violating the Mann act which makes it a felony to transport women for immoral purposes from one state to another. This was the verdict of the jury that tried him. There were six counts in the indictment and the jury found a verdict of guilty in the first four. Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years and a minimum of one year in a federal penitentiary. Diggs, his wife, father mother and his three aunts, Mrs. Drew Caminetti and Mrs. Anthony Caminetti, were in court, waiting for the verdict. Diggs was pale and his wife showed the tension she was under by the twitching of her lips, the tension about her eyes and the lessened bloom of her rich color. There was no demonstration of any sort, however, when the expected blow fell. Nine ballots were taken and from the first the jurors were unanimous for conviction on the first four counts but on the fifth, charging the defendant with persuading, advising and inducing Marsha Warrington to go from Sacramento to Reno for immoral purposes, and on the sixth, charging the same offense with respect to Lola Morris, they disgreged. Sentence will be pronounced September 2nd. Judge Van Fleet set the ball at $5,000 on each count, making $20,000 in all. I. P. Diggs, the defendant's father, and Marshall Diggs, his uncle, were both ready with bonds in the amount named. Counsel for the defense announced that they would appeal to the highest court in the land. The case won national notoriety when United States Attorney John L. McNabb, charging that the trial had been delayed by political influence, made public his resignation in an open letter to President Wilson. F. Drew Caminetti, co-defendant with Maury I. Diggs, will be placed on trial before Judge Van Fleet in the United States District Court. EXPECT THAW TO BE FREED. If Canadian Court Frees Fugitive, He Will Be Sent to Vermont. Sherbrooke, Que., Aug. 21.—Harry Kendal Thaw's legal fight against deportation to the United States, after his dramatic escape from the Matteawan state hospital for the criminal insane on Sunday morning last, will begin in this Canadian frontier town this morning. He is to be produced before Judge Globensky of the superior court on writ of habeas corpus obtained by his counsel. Harry K. Thaw will be across the American border in the state of Vermont by tonight if events in the case of the fugitive from Matteawan shape themselves as Canadian officials in close touch with the proceedings anticipate. This was the semi-official intimation here as Thaw awaited a hearing on the habeas corpus writ his counsel secured. Urges Recognition as Best Solution of Problem in His Reply. Mexico City, Aug. 21.—The proposals of the Washington government which Mexico rejected in toto were: First, complete cessation of hostilities; second, that President Huerta resign in favor of a president ad interim; third, the fixing of an early date for the presidential elections, and fourth, that General Huerta should not be a candidate for the presidency. An additional feature of the American note was the request of a reply to the question as to what, in the opinion of General Huerta, the present conditions were due and what the remedy. Huerta refuses to accede to the four demands, and in a general way places the blame for Mexico's civil war upon the United States. He insists that had it not been for President Wilson's refusal to recognize his administration he would long ago have suppressed the rebellion. "Open Shop" Plan Suggested. Trinidad.—A possible solution of the controversy precipitated in the southern coal fields by the demand on the coal operators in district No. 15 for recognition by the United Mine Workers of America, is suggested by the announcement that steps are being taken to induce the operators to concede the "open shop."

He has won fame by producing on his little farm in central Alabama the largest tmount of cotton to the area ever srown in the United States. This is me bale to an eighth of an acre of and. Sam McCall has developed a nethod of cultivation on once worth- sess land which is so successful that 4e thinks nothing now of producing hree or four bales of cotton on an acre, or eighty bushels of oats or corn, When Sam was made free he bought land to the amount of 160 acres. He culsivated forty acres and the first year he made hardly enough to’ keep himself. He concluded that with his limited equipment and in view of the fact that he was doing practical- ly all his own work it would be wise for him to reduce the amount of land. He*gradually brought his cultivated farm down to two acres, and for twen- ty-four years has spent all of his time and energies in what farm experts call one of the most interesting ex- amples of intensive farming carried on in the United States. According to some who have gone to Alabama to study his methods, the reason for the ex-slave's success in agriculture is due largely to the fact that he has manu- factured nitrogen in the soil unknow- ingly by feeding the soil bacteria with carbo-hydrates and cellulose, coming from the refuse of the crops. Mc- Call’s land is part of an abandoned farm. Before he began to cultivate {t the soll was perhaps as bad as any that can be found on any farm in the southern states. The former slave knew nothing of scientific methods of cultivation, but he was a good obser- ver. He noticed white farmers in his section gathering leaves in the fall to spread over their land to form humus in the soil. He had never heard of the word humus, but he concluded the white farmers knew what they were doing and he followed suit. He later decided to use the refuse of all crops as fertilizer. At the time he began to cultivate his land commercial fertil izers were little known, and the ex: slave has never made use of them— Dawson (Texas) News.

The business and professional Ne- gro men of Chicago are considering ‘the advisability of organizing a na- tional Negro exposition and semi-cen- ‘tennial to be held in this city in 1915. ‘The purpose of the exposition is to exploit the skill of the Negro erafts- man and, presumably, to show how greatly the Negro has progressed in civilization since his emancipation in America. It is an excellent idea and it is to be hoped that it will be car- ried out. The year 1915 will mark a half century since the American Ne- gro has been free. In that time he has accomplished a great deal, but the full story of his accomplishment is not as well known outside of bis own race as {t should be. An ex- position such as the one proposed will tell that story more fully and vividly than in any other way, and it is a story not only worth the telling, but highly necessary to be told. At such an exposition the country will be en- abled to see with its own eyes what the negro has done and what he 1s capable of doing—Chtcago Inter- Ocean.

Thompson of Oklahoma, ‘The preamble asserts it is ‘to promote the comfort of passengers and to provide for the separation of the races on street cars, suburban and interurban cars, and in the various departments of the government in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes. Penalties are provided for all viola: tions of the law, and in the case where the violation occurs in the goy- ernment departments, not only is punishment provided by court, but it is also made a cause for dismissal from the service. Relating to the use of street cars by the different races, the bill provides that on the street cars separate compartments “equal in all points of comfort and convenience” shall be provided for the white and colored races; and that ‘a board or marker, placed in a con- -spictous place, bearing appropriate words in plain letters indicating the race for which it 1s set apart, shall be’ sufficient as a separate compart ment within the meaning of this act.” Provision for punishment is made for any passenger who refuses to obey the rules and for any company which refuses to enforce them. Further than this, it is set forth that “should any passenger refuse to occupy the compartment to which he or she is assigned by the officer of such com- Pany, said officer shall have the power to refuse to carry such passen- ger.” Taking up the matter of the Separation of races in the depart ments, the bill provides for separate compartments in every department ot the government where both white and colored are ‘employed.

Work, superintendent of records and research at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, and forms one of the most complete en- eyclopedias of the race ever published, ‘The book contains more than 400 pages of indexed information regard- ing the colored race, its history, its great men, its schools, charitable in- stitutions, ministers and its aims and past victories. ‘The progress that ‘these 10,000,000 negroes have made since their emancipation,” says the compiler of the Year Book, “may be summarized under three heads—name- ly, educational, economic and religious. No other people have given a larger percentage of their earnings for re- ligious work. Over 80 per cent of the total wealth of the negro is in church property. Today they own ' church property worth $57,000,000." The book contains a complete history of the negro in America up to 1913, as well as a treatise on the legislation enact: ed in the United States on behalf or against the race. In the chapter on agriculture it is told that the increase in the number of negro farmers in the country was 19.6 per cent from 1900 to 1910. According to statistics contained in the Year Book, Georgia has the largest colored population in the Union, while Washington, D. C., leads the cities with 94,446 and New York second with 91,709. Contained also in the annual is the official proc: lamation of Booker T. Washington regarding the fiftieth anniversary cel. ebration of emancipation, which will be held from October 19 to 26.

WASHINGTON’S ADDRESS. Booker T. Washington's address before the fourteenth annual meet- ing of the National Negro Business League is full of logie and sound advice and should mean much to the youth of the race. There are so many of Washington’s erities who claim that the industrial education he teaches at Tuskegee and preaches abroad places the Negro little above a condition of servitude, but those who read the address made in Philadelphia this week have found a fitting reply to all their criticisms. It is a much higher yoeation to be a skilled mechanic or a first- class farmer than to be a janitor or porter; yet there are a large number of our supposed educated young men and women who scout the idea of industrial education and prefer the life of a menial to it. The keynote of Mr. Washington's address is independence, and he shows very clearly how it can be best attained, and that is for more of our people to leave the crowded cities and cast their lot in the soil. Those in a position to know claim that the great fortunes for the next thirty years are to be made in Jand, and it is to be hoped that the Negro will reap his full quota of wealth from this source. One of the striking features of all of Washington’s writings and speeches is that he is always hopeful, always optimistic of the ultimate outcome. ‘To quote from his address: ““As a race we must not be discouraged. There will come to us, as to all races, seasons of depression and gloom. Once in a while even those in high places may seem to seek to insult, to humiliate and harass us, but they cannot last. The morning cometh,’ AN OPEN LETTER TO BISHOP WALTERS, TROTTER AND DU BOIS. The following letter appeared in the issue of the New York Age, August 14th: “Dear Sirs—In an interview with a prominent New York editor a few days ago President Wilson stated that he and the members of his cabinet were advised by prominent colored people to inaugurate and put into practice the segregation of races in the government depart- ments. Both President Wilson and his cabinet have repeatedly stated in the last few days that what they are doing in the matter of segrega- tion is being done through the advice and with the consent of prominent colored people in and out of Washington. Our object in addressing you this communication is to find out from you whether you have given any such advice and also to find out whether the disgraceful policy of segregation has your approval. ‘The public has not been informed that you are opposed to such policies and we think that you owe it to your- selves and to your race to speak out on this subject. The matter has now passed beyond the stage of mere party consideration. ‘The Age feels quite sure that you have been misrepresented in this important matter, but you owe it to yourself to let the publie hear from you. “THE NEW YORK AGE.” Bishop Alexander Walters’ answer: “Washington, D. C., August 13, 1913. “Editor of New York Age: “Did not know anything about Patterson resignation. Was as- tounded when I learned that he had given up. I am against segregation, first, last and all the time. Mave never endorsed it; neither have T authorized any one to commit me to that policy. I stand for the com- plete civie and political rights of my people. ‘ (Signed) “ALEXANDER WALTERS.” Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Bosley and Mrs. Malissie Terry of Memphis, Tenn.; also Mrs. Jessie Moss of Lambert, Miss., and Mrs, Katie Red- dick of Pueblo spent several days last week with their cousins, Mr. and Mrs, J. S. Smith, 1866 Downing street. It had been over twenty years since Mr, Smith and the former two ladies had seen each other, and the reunion was one that will not soon be forgotten, Found yecollections were renewed, which brightened the occasion with joyous glee, After an ildness of several years, Mrs. Margaret Jacobs of 2222' Glen- arm Place, died Tuesday, August 19th. Mrs. Jacobs was a faithful member of Zion Baptist church and Columbine Court of Calanthe, No. 276. She leaves two sons, George, who lives In Chi. cago, J. W. Taylor of this city, and a daughter, who did everything that could be done for the comfort of their mother untl the end came. Mrs. Ja- cobs also has a host of friends in this city who will be sorry to hear of her death, ‘The funeral will be held Sun- day at 2 o'clock from Zion Baptist church, Interment at Fairmount cemetery.

Webster Ollie Griggsby TRAIN Leaves Station 8:30 1 THE new coiffures have arrived; the most adorably pretty conceptions that we have had for years. They have come in answer to a general demand for something new.. There are high ones and low ones, less simple than those that are passing and more fascinating. They still preserve some features of those demure but rather meager styles. For instance, in all the new designs the ears are still covered. There is an unmistakable return to the small pompadour which was so universally becoming. A little fringe across the forehead is favored in the dressiest models, but the arrangement of the hair about the forehead varies so that every one may be suited. The hair may be worn moderately low, as in the evening collure here, or extremely high, or just at the crown of the head in a Psyche knot (of which a glimpse appears in the second picture). It is very loosely waved and manufacturers of hair goods are using the same loose and almost imperceptible wave in switches and other hair pieces. Bewitching little clusters of three short, full curls appear either at the nape of the neck or at the sides below the ears. The new styles are fuller and the effect sought for is for greater abundance of hair than in the severe and somewhat formless coiffures of the past seasons. This gives women a chance to improve the contour of their heads if need be. These new coiffures are built on definite lines; the styles are more striking than those just preceding them, more vigorous, and the finished coiffures achieve the look of careful, perfect grooming; a consummation worth striving for; a charm within the reach of everyone. The dressy coiffure shown with hair band and ostrich feather decoration is not difficult to arrange. A slight support in the form of a short, small hair roll forms the pompadour, extending over the top of the head just above the forehead. A strand of hair is brought back from the temples, and another strand is arranged in a loose puff over the ears and extends into the cheek. This puff has to be provided with a little support also. The remainder of the hair is arranged in big, soft coils across the back, having the appearance of irregular puffs. Three little curls are pinned in on each side just below the puff over the ears. In the second figure the front hair is arranged in the same way except for the curls. The back hair is combed up to the crown of the head and coiled into a regulation Psyche knot. The strand at the nape of the neck is left becomingly loose. The knot is only slightly higher than the pompadour. In the hats for the coming seasons great numbers have elongated crowns, so that there will be no difficulty in wearing them with any of the new coifures. Soft, flexible crowns are to be immensely fashionable and they shape themselves to the head of the wearer. Dressing the hair as in the model coiffure shown here may be simplified by using pinned-on puffs over the ears. With these and a short roll to support the pompadour there will be no trouble in copying these charming designs. CHIC PARISIAN GOWN Underwood & Underwood Model of blue and white striped silk crepe with red flowers. The gown is in one piece with short skirt. Slashed Petticoats At the sight of the word petticoat one is apt to start in these days, and say, "What, are there any?" There are still a few and the newest ones are slashed. The slash is made at the ankles on each side. These are particularly popular in Paris just now, but many have come to us also. White embroidered ones may be bead with the fashion-required slashes, and there are also some good satin petticats laced up the sides with softer satin ribbon. JULIA BOTTOMLEY BROWN LEATHER IS EDICT To Be Really Smart All the Various Belongings Must Be of That Color, No Matter the Material. The brown leather era has arrived. You're not smart at all if the most of your small belongings are not of brown pelt—real leather, walrus, seal or morocco grain—from your automobile dressing bag fitted with nickel or ivory backed toilet necessities to your strap bracelet holding a small gold-filled enameled watch. Between these two extremes in leather come innumerable conveniences. One of them, the handy pocket kit, comprises a neat leather case containing a large knife, a small saw, a chisel, a corkscrew and a wrench. Another is a pigskin case containing a flat, flashlike glass, a folding knife, spoon and fork, and a third is a leather combination case lined with silk and containing pockets for handkerchiefs, gloves, veils and pins. Not unlike the last mentioned case, is a silk-lined receptacle for neckties. There are three types of sewing case from which to choose. The largest is bag shape, closes with a drawstring and contains a pin cushion, scissors, cases of needles and reels of thread. Next in size is a satin lined folding case fitted with a stilletto, tape needle, bodkin and two thread reels. Smallest of all is a brocade lined sealskin book holding a leaf of needles and a leaf wound with threads. Effective Collar. The little black velvet collar that is so much seen on otherwise pale colored costumes is more effective than could be imagined by anyone who had not had an opportunity of seeing the same gown without this distinctive note. The form is of the simplest. The collar is of the same width all round, and stops short in front, leaving a space of about an inch and a half. This is filled in with the Byron tie, the ends floating rather loosely, as may be guessed from the title. Wide Rose Bowl. In selecting the rose bowl decide upon one that is wide, shallow, and flaring so that the flowers may expand unrestrained, and be seen to the best advantage, says the Chicago Journal. They are fascinating for the dining table, the tea table, the drawingroom, the boudor and the veranda of the country home. COLORADO LANDS INCREASE 15 PER CENT IN ONE YEAR. Canvass by Experts Shows Remark able Strides of State in Agricultural Pursuits. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Colorado farms are worth $600,000,000 as against $499,500,000 a year ago, showing an average increase in value of 15 per cent, according to a careful canvass just completed by experts. This extraordinary showing is one of the best ever made by any state in a single year. Sixty-two counties of the sixty-three in the state were carefully gne over, reports being obtained from more than one source in each section. This work has been carried on by the Greater Colorado Bureau of the Denver Chamber of Commerce, which sent out carefully devised forms which include all the resources and statistics of each county. These were answered in detail in every instance except by Alamosa county, the officials of which have scarcely organized. Some of the most gratifying figures developed are those indicating remarkable advances in the number of acres under cultivation, new families and new automobiles outside of Denver. Acres under cultivation since January 1, 1913 are 1,039,496. The number of new families located, 11,870. New Population Nearly 60,000. The new population from families located, at the regular ratio of 5 to 1, is approximately 59,350. The number of new families on farms, 7,898. At the regular ratio the new farm population is 39,490. The number of new automobiles purchased outside of Denver, 5,203. The number of families reported as moving away from the state was 155, or approximately 1,030 people. The net increase, obtained by subtracting the number leaving from the new settlers, leaves a net increase of 58,320. All but seven counties report that they depend almost exclusively on farming, and these seven are in the mining districts. Twelve counties name fruit raising as one of their chief industries; twenty-seven counties, stock raising; seven counties, dairying, and two counties, sheep raising. Wheat is one of the principal crops in twenty-five counties, and the average yield for 1913 was 25 to 30 bushels per acre. Oats is one of the principal crops in twenty-five counties, with an average yield for 1913 of 25 to 35 bushels per acre. In Routt county the yield was as high as 55 bushels. Sugar beets is one of the principal crops in nineteen counties. Average yield for 1913, 15 to 20 tons per acre. Montrose county reports as high as 26 tons per acre. Alfalfa is one of the principal crops in seventeen counties. Average yield for 1913, $1\frac{1}{2}$ to 3 tons per acre. Crowley and Montrose counties report as high as 6 tons. Hay is one of the principal crops in twenty-one counties. Average yield for 1913, $2\frac{1}{3}$ to $3\frac{1}{3}$ tons per acre. The yield, however, runs higher in many counties. Huerfano county reports 8 tons per acre. Barley is one of the chief crops in twelve counties. Average yield for 1913 was 20 to 35 bushels per acre. Conejos county reports 60 bushels per acre. Corn is one of the principal crops in sixteen counties. Average yield for 1913, 15 to 25 bushels per acre. In six counties it runs as high as 35 bushels per acre. Potatoes is one of the principal crops in seventeen counties. Average yield for 1913, 125 to 150 bushels per acre. Gunnison and Garfield counties easily produce 200 bushels per acre on many tracts. Peas is one of the principal crops in five counties. Average yield or 1913, 20 to 25 bushels per acre. Industries Most Needed. One of the most interesting features of the reports sent in by the various counties is a statement by each of the new industries needed. Beginning at Arapahoe, and including all counties except Alamosa and Denver, these reports are as follows: Arapahoe county—Good opening for creamery and cheese factory. Boulder county—Good opening and field for another china pottery. Custer county—A storage reservoir is needed. Douglas county—Dairying business exceptionally good. Claimed to be greatest milk county in the state. There is no limit to the market for dairy products. More dairy men are needed in this section. Elbert county—Many silos being erected which shows that the farmers are learning better methods and will increase their profits. El Paso county—Favorable reports on dairying and poultry raising. Fremont county—New cement factory running full force. Gunnison county—Will ship 5,000 head of fat cattle this fall. Logan county—Good opening for bank and dry goods store. Also field for physician. Opening for hotel and furniture store. RIGHT OF BODY TO ENJOIN ASSESSMENTS QUESTIONED. Constitutionality of Act of 1911 Colorado Legislature Attacked by Denver Attorney. Denver.—The constitutionality of the act of the State Legislature in 1911 creating the state tax commission is attacked by City Attorney I. N. Stevens in a demurrier filed by him in the suit of the tax commission against the city commissioners and Clair J. Pitcher, as assessor of the city and county of Denver, to enjoin reductions in assesments of the Denver City Tramway Company and the Denver Gas & Electric Light Company, amounting to $2,970.025. Stevens denies the right of the state tax commission to make any assessments whatever, and questions the law under which the commission claims the right to commence such actions as the case at bar. The District Court is without jurisdiction, says the demurrer. If upheld in the courts upon the demurrer, the city attorney's contents would settle the dispute between Finance Commissioner Pitcher and the tax commission, in which the former denies the right of the state officials to assess public utilities corporations over the heads of county assessors. Jones Reports on Rural Credits. Denver.—"By banding together and pledging themselves for each other's debts European farmers have been able to secure from their banks valuable accommodations along moneyborrowing lines, largely through government assistance, directly or indirectly," declares Gordon Jones in his report to Governor Ammons of his recent trip through Europe for the purpose of studying agricultural problems. Mr. Jones went to Europe as a member of the American commission for the study of rural credit and agricultural co-operation, and spent three months in the work. He bore credentials from the governor and from the Denver Chamber of Commerce. Left Three Widows; Estate Valueless. Left Three Widows; Estate Valueless. Denver:—The estate of Lee Thomas, whose death three years ago revealed three widows, each claiming to be his legal wife and entitled to his "vast" estate, over which months of litigation ensued, is practically worthless, it was disclosed in the County Court. Kenehan Finds Discrepancy in Report. Denver.—State Auditor Kenehan is investigating a discrepancy of $52.80 which is said to have been found in the accounts of J. T. Brooks, former secretary of the State Board of Barber Examiners. Kenehan will make a report to the governor who will take action. The report of State Treasurer Leddy, which covers the period from Dec. 1, 1910, to August, 1911, is said to show an error. According to this report, Brooks received $5,114.30 and turned over $4,961.50. Officers say this report leaves Brooks with $52.80 unaccounted for. Capitol Dome Popular With Knights. Denver—Hundreds of Knights Templar and their friends climbed to the highest altitude they have ever reached by ascending the dome of Colorado's capitol building. Two thousand persons visited the dome during the conclave. The capitol building adjoined the stadium of the Knights Templar gathering and proved a popular point of interest among the visitors. Persons who leave the building frequently boast of their mile-high climb. The steps of the building are one mile above sea level and the dome is nearly 300 feet higher. Pitkin Awards $24,000 Contract. Denver.—After a conference with the state highway commission, the commissioners of Pitkin county have let a $24,000 contract for the building of a road between Independence pass, Aspen and Twin Lakes. This road will connect Denver, Colorado Springs and Glenwood Springs. The connection places a practically straight road from Colorado Springs to Glenwood Springs. Notaries Named by Governor. Denver.—The following notaries public have been appointed: William H. Jonson and Ralph Wright of Colorado Springs; James J. Roper, Alamosa; Frank W. Spear, Gypsum; Gordon W. Spencer, Pueblo, and Norris C. Sprigg of Denver. Ammons Gets Seed Charm. Denver.—Governor Ammons has received a watch charm made of Texas watermelon seeds from B. Embden of Houston, Tex. The chain is heavily mounted with gold and is highly prized by the governor. Autopsy Shows Reason for Whistling. Denver.—Everett Brown, the whistling sailor who shot himself through the head three weeks ago because his sweetheart left him, died at the county hospital. He was whistling when death came and had whistled almost continually while he was in the hospital. An autopsy showed that the bullet he fired into his head had affected his brain. The nerve governing his respiratory muscles was destroyed and as a result Brown could not restrain himself from whistling.

Wolfe of Colorado Springs and others drove an automobile weighing 3,200 pounds to the summit of Pike's Peak. Three graduates of the University of Colorado at Boulder received life certificates as teachers from the State Board of Education at Denver. Daniel H. Rose, 96, died at Boulder of old age. He went to Boulder with his family eighteen years ago. He was born at Shemandoah, Va., Feb. 8, 1817. September 23, 24 and 25 has been set for the official opening of the "Rainbow Route," a new scenic highway between Pueblo and Grand Junction. Following a report by Mrs. W. M. McDonald of Wichita, Kans., that she had been robbed of $50 while in a sleeper here, J. Jones, negro porter, was arrested in Colorado Springs. Summons were served on Reed A. Albee, the millionaire New York theatrical man, before he left Colorado Springs for Gotham, in a suit for separate maintenance filed by his wife, Grace Albee. With his stomach torn by the kick of a double-barreled shotgun which accidentally discharged when he was taking it from his buggy, Robert Kane, forty years old, a wealthy former Hing south of La Salle, was totally injured. By a voluntary confession that he had committed perjury in the trial of Harold F. Henwood last June, Clyde H. Pitney declared in Denver that his conscience was clear as he received a sentence of from one to five years' imprisonment for burglary. While casping her 17-months-old baby to her breast in the parlor of her home, in Denver, Mrs. Alice Leary was painfully burned on her face and hands by carbolic acid thrown by Mrs. Etta Deutsch, 31, a neighbor.

A R. veterans are planning to attend the forty-seventh annual grand encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Chattanooga, September 15 to 20. Several Denver men will be candidates for office in the national organization.

The convention was joint reunion of members of the Army of the Philippines and the American Veterans of Foreign Service. As her brother, Dr. C. C. Reid of Denver, summoned the residents of Westminster, to thwart the plans of Mrs. Burt Stotler, 28 years old, to end her life, she fired a bullet into her brain on the shore of Madison reservoir and fell dead in the shallow water. Mrs. Stotler, after lunching with Dr. Reid, left him a note directing him where to look for her body. The burning to death of her baby boy one year ago in Illinois is believed to have unbalanced Mrs. Stotler's mind. Drowned in fifteen inches of water in a trough under a pump while her parents sat ten feet away entertaining guests, the fate of Pauline Silk, the 17-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Valentine Silk, who went to Eaton a few days ago from Denver.
