PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Oklahoma Woman Kills Seducer VOL. XX. Oklahom ma (From Chicago Defender) Guthrie, Okla., April 3.—The lynching of Marie Scott at Muskogee on Tuesday was the fiendish outcome of one of the most hellish outrages in the history of downrodden womanhood, the result of white man's lust. Marie Scott met a horrible death. In fact, she was brutally murdered for slaying the seducer who was trying to forsake her. Her story is like hundreds of others here and in other lawless portions of this Southern-dominated country, the true facts never being told. This young woman was only three months from motherhood. Her paramour wanted to quit her to marry a white girl. He offered her $50 to help her through her sickness, but she refused. She wanted him to protect her and his child and he refused. "Kill me, then," she cried, as he began packing his clothes to leave her. He did knock her down when he received the knife thrust that killed him. Of course, the community and the country is shocked, but that will soon pass away. Their is the usual talk of an investigation by the county attorney, but that, too, is only a farce. Farce it is, day in and day out, from one year's end to another. Even Afro-Americans live lives of shame. A brown-skinned man over there says that he loves a light-complexioned woman and they live together. He wants to marry her. He knows that she is of his own blood, but the white citizens say that it is not so and the law says that blacks shall not wed whites, and they go on living in open adultery and their neighbors turn their backs and say nothing. This has been going on for three years and they say that there is no redress. Certain Afro-American newspapers threw four fits when they heard that Villa, the Mexican outlaw, was a colored man. They said that they did not want such a man in their race. But Villa, as bad as he is, won't want to be identified with a race (if those in Muskogee are a fair sample) who in the first place permit a white man to live in open adultery right next door to them and keep their mouths shut. Do they suppose that a colored man could live with a white woman in the same manner in the same town? Marie Scott is not --- the only wench, as the Southern white gentlemen would call them, who is living with and raising children for white men. But all over that town the Afro-American society rating as to your prestige or standing depends wholly on the amount of white blood in the African descendant's veins. The black men and women are looked upon as freaks. The time is at hand when all Afro-Americans must begin to think that they are black regardless of the white skin. The time has come when all Afro Americans must rise up and strike for the social equality. laws in order that their daughters will be protected. The time has come when the white Afro-Americans must stop marrying among themselves to have white children with blue eyes and flaxen hair, but let there be more unions of the black and white Afro-Americans and reclaim the race. Stop the farce, let the laws be just ones. If a white man wants to associate with a colored woman he must marry her and stop the open adultery among ourselves. This story began with Marie Scott and it must end with her. Here is the Associated Press report of the lynching: "Marie Scott, a Negro woman, who Sunday night killed Lemuel Peace, a young white man, by driving a knife into his heart, was taken out of the Wagoner county jail early today and hanged to a telephone pole. The mob, which was masked, overpowered the jailer, a one armed man, threw a rope over the woman's head and dragged her out of the jail. A knock at the door aroused the sleeping jailer, alone in the office. A voice outside said an officer was there with prisoners. The jailer opened the door and faced twelve revolvers. He was bound quickly, his keys were taken from him and he was thrown into the corner. The mob then pulled the screaming woman from her sell, tied a rope about her neck and dragged her to a telephone pole a block from the jail. An hour later the sheriff cut down the body. The county attorney began an investigation of the lynching within an hour after the body was cut down. Called to Order. Mater at the Theater—"Now, daughter, don't laugh satirically at the sad parts.

APRIL 11. 1914 New Orleans, March 19, 1914.—Eight children of Mrs. Camillo Monroux Prados, heretofore known officially as Negroes, were officially declared white persons yesterday after a long court fight, during which sensational charges were made. Each of the eight, all adults, were registered by the city board of health as Negroes when born. Church records show them to be white. The first ancestor of whom there was record came here in 1786 and married a white woman. He was of Latin origin and his complexion was dark. The Prados family declares this is the reason the family officially has been called Negroes. Portland, Me., March 31.—Federal investigation of the proposed A. B. DR. W. T. VERNON Dr. W. T. Vernon, ex-register of the United States Treasury; ex-superintendent of Government Schools and at present president of Campbell College at Jackson, Miss., lectured to a large audience at Shorter A. M. E. Church, Thursday evening of last week, his subject being "The Twentieth Century Negro and a Message to the World." As an orator Dr. Vernon ranks among the foremost of the country and how well he sustained his reputation was much evidenced by all who heard his silver-toned voice ring out with the message he brought to the people of Denver. His words were full of wisdom which penetrated the hearts of all who heard him. efforts to one of the M.

Alfred Charles Sam, the leader, and Capt. L S. McKenzie, of the steamer Curityba, on which it is proposed to make the trip, are being questioned by Assistant United States District Attorney Artnur Chapman, Deputy Marshall W. S Hasty, and Customs Collector Willis T. Emmons. The officials have been informed that the steamer will leave soon for Galveston, Texas, where about two hundred Negroes will be taken on board for the trip to Africa. Sam says that while many of his followers are converts to the religious teachings of the "Holy Ghost and Us Society," his movement is in no way connected with the Shiloh institution. VERNON efforts to make it what it is today—one of the best Negro Colleges in the Middle West. While Dr. Vernon has held lucrative political positions, the last of which he resigned to take up the work of educating his people is but another evidence of his loyalty to the race's uplift. He spoke of the work being done at Campbell College, but its limited capacity is a handicap to hundreds who desire to enter, but he hopes to, with the assistance of the generous people, to build larger quarters in order that all may have an opportunity to reach the goal of success. It is urged by the people of the West and Northwest that Dr. Vernon make a tour for the purpose just mentioned as a sentiment has already been made in the hearts of many to lend assistance in this respect, and it is a gratification to all that this noted orator has promised to fulfill the demands of the people. --- RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Mme. C.J.

New York, March 22, 1914 One blow worth $1,000,000! That is what Frank Moran, the big blond Pittsburgh boxer, says a knockout punch will mean to him if he lands it on Jack Johnson, the present heavyweight champion of the world. Such a blow will lift the white man's burden, placed by Johnson when he won the title from James J. Jefferies, at Reno, July 4, 1910. Such a blow if it can be delivered, will echo around the world for it will mean the supremacy of the white race in the boxing world. It will cause as big a stir as the blows Admiral Dewey delivered in Manila Bay, which won for Uuole Sam the Philippine Islands. Moran and Johnson are matched to fight for the heavyweight title in Paris at the Velodrome d'Hiver on the night of June 27, the eve of the race for the Grand Prix de Paris, the biggest event of the French turf. Cincinnati, O., March 31.—A colored washerwoman is said to have induced a wealthy white woman of this city to leave $500,000 in the interest of Negro education, and next fall the Industrial School for Negro Youth will be opened at Wyoming, O., a suburb of Cincinnati, as the result of such a muni-ficent bequest. When friends and acquaintances learned that the bulk of the testatrix's estate had been left to establish a school for Negroes their surprise was great, as she had not shown the least interest in colored people during life. It was later learned that shortly before she died the colored washerwoman had explained to her the needs and struggles of her race and had made a winning argument. W. L. Ricks, formerly principal of the Evening School of Louisville, has been selected as president of the new institution.

Atlanta, Ga., March 31.—An attempt was made by a white man NO 33 to rob the Atlanta State Savings Bank on Wednesday afternoon, March 25, when only J. O. Ross, Jr., the teller, was in the bank. The robber entered the bank about 4:30 o'clock, and, covering young Ross with a revolver, ordered him to turn over the cash in the vault. Ross demurred, but was forced into the vault, where an attempt was made to chloroform him. The young man's resistance foiled the effort and then the robber felled him with an iron bludgeon fashioned from a piece of pipe. Two shots were fired at Ross, fortunately missing him, but the reports and Ross's cries brought tenants of the building to the scene. The assailant fled, jumping into a buggy standing near-by, driving off and firing back at the crowd which pursued him. The officers searched the houses near Cain and Williams street, where the buggy was abandoned, and found the man in a basement room with his wife. He feigned sickness, but was arrested. The revolver was found in a bureau drawer. He was identified and taken to the city prison, where he is held. His name was found to be Marshall, and he is said to be from Denver, Col. He claims to be a magician under the stage name of "Rhynata." FLORENCE COLO. NEWS The home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J.

COUNTRY SCHOOL TEACHERS TO DEMAND MORE PAY. Letters to Be Sent Boards of Education All Over State Urging Higher Wages for Capable Instructors. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Due to the appeal of Miss Charlotte Abernathy, a teacher of Arapahoe, Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent of public instruction, will send out letters to the various school boards of the state urging an increase in the salaries of first grade teachers in the rural districts of Colorado as the first move in a campaign towards that end to be waged for the next school election in May. In a letter to Mrs. Bradford, Miss Abernathy says that eighth-grade graduates, given third-grade teachers' certificates in the teachers' examinations, teach in the rural district at the same salaries received by first-grade teachers with normal training, and from six to twenty years' experience, and that as a result, first-class teachers are leaving the rural schools and their positions are filled by inexperienced young girls. In the country districts, she writes, the services of experienced and competent instructors are more badly needed than in any other sections of the state. The first-grade teachers in rural districts. Miss Abernathy states, are so underpaid that they become discouraged and leave. The third grade teachers' salaries were raised; why, she argues, cannot justice be done to the first-grade teachers? Cuthbert Host for Peace Board. Denver.—The newly chosen members of the peace commission were the guests of Lucius M. Cuthbert, vice president and chairman of the referendum committee at a luncheon at the University Club.

King Frank McLaughlin, Verner Z. Reed, William F. Slocum, Judge Harrison White and E. J. Yetter. "The women of the country are best fitted to take up the problems of international interest," said Norman Angell, international peace advocate, at a meeting of the Woman's Peace organization. "Women's minds are not entirely taken up with money matters, and it is their duty to make international topics a course of study among the school children and in colleges." Cripple Railroad Must Operate Line. Denver.—Probably the most important and far-reaching decision ever made by the state railroad commission was rendered when it ruled that a railroad company had no right to discontinue operating the whole or any part of its line within the state without the commission's permit. The decision was made upon the petition of Cañon City to compel the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad Company to rebuild a four-mile strip of its line between Ora Junta and Wilbur, which was washed out in July, 1912. Since that time the railroad company has refused to carry freight and passengers between Cañon City and Cripple Creek. Planning State Study Course. Denver.—Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent of public instruction, is preparing a course of study for all high schools in Colorado not in class A districts, which will include most of the country and town high schools. It will be published some time this summer and will be put in use att the beginning of the fall term of school. The course will not be compulsory, but it is expected that it will be generally carried out over the state. Colorado Gets Better Show Site. Denver.—A much better site for Colorado at the Panama-Pacific exposition has been obtained, according to a letter received by the Chamber of Commerce from Commissioner of Concessions Burt. The new site is on the bay and at the junction of two main arteries. It was held by the Hawaiian islands, but the islands were induced to change to a position farther back. Reformatory For Girls Urged Denver.—The lack of a reformatory for girls in the state of Colorado was deplored by Judge Butler in the West Side Court when he came to sentence Mrs. Alberta Revell, twenty years old, for forgery. The absence of such an institution forced him, he said, to sentence the young woman to serve a term of from one year to one and one-half years in the penitentiary at Canon City.

Messenger Lindsay was fifty-nine years old, having been appointed in the government service when a youth of seventeen years. Lindsay was born in 1855, the property of the Temple family of Fredericksburg, Va. Miss Temple, one of the daughters of the family, who now lives in Richmond, Va., never came to Washington without calling on the old family slave, whom she held in great esteem and watched over. It was during the Civil war that Lindsay first made acquaintance with the army, with which he was to be associated for the rest of his life. In 1865, when ten years old, he used to sell plies to the soldiers of the army, encamped near Fredericksburg. One of the veterans of that campaign, now an official of the war department, tells of an attack of indigestion which he charges against a bit of pastry bought from Lindsay. A year ago Lindsay made his first appearance as an actor. In the role of himself, playing the part of a messenger to the commanding officer of the army, in a playlet written by Captain McCoy of the army, he appeared when the play was presented at the dinner of the Carabao society. Lindsay saw service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. Detached from the war department he accompanied General Bell, in command of the army of pacification, and was his personal attendant throughout the campaign. Appointed a laborer in the war department July 1, 1872. Lindsay was given a fireman's job November 1, the same year. July 17, 1879, he was made a messenger. Transferred to the door of the adjutant general of the army, at that time the commanding officer of the military service, November 4, 1879. Lindsay was given the rank of an assistant messenger because of the change of service. June 16, 1893, he became a messenger at $840 a year. When the office of adjutant general of the army lost its directing influence, and the office of chief of staff was created, Lindsay was transferred from the one office to the other, maintaining his dignity and responsibilities. He was relieved for temporary duty in Cuba October 6, 1906, when he accompanied General Bell. He resumed his duties as messenger January 4, 1907. Lindsay served as messenger and personal attendant to every adjutant general of the army from incumbency of General Drum to that of General Corbin, and of every chief of staff of the army since that time. Not many years ago Russia was a strong rival of the United States in the production of petroleum. Now the Russian empire yields only about 68 per cent as much old as California alone, and not much more than Oklahoma. Two carpenters and a plumber from England have recently been traveling in Belgium. Vocational scholarships were awarded to them, by means of which they are investigating old and new methods of house construction. The colored man in America has gone through the same experiences as the white man. He gave 250 years of unrequited toil to build up the nation. In the Revolutionary war Crispus Attucks, a mulatto, was the first man to shed his blood that white men might be really free. One hundred and nine of the 425 dauntless sailors who fought with Perry at the battle of Lake Erie were colored men. Nearly 200,000 colored soldiers fought with white men in the slaveholders' rebellion in defense of their common country. In the Spanish-American war the colored troopers did their duty splendidly at El Caney. From a little farm owned by John Jones, a former slave in Shelby county, Tenn., has come to the Supreme court of the United States the question of whether former slaves are entitled to inherit from their brothers and sisters who likewise were in servitude. The supreme court of Tennessee had held that ex-slaves have no inheritable blood. One of John Jones' brothers has taken the case to the United States Supreme court seeking a reversal. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the laws have to do with the home in some way. The United States has become the heaviest buyer of South African diamonds. A bill providing for women judges in the children's court has been introduced in the New York legislature. Margaret E. McNamara has been appointed chief matron of the Industrial School for Girls at Delaware, Ohio. A woman lives in Philadelphia who has seen three centuries; who has been an eye witness of the changes they have brought; who has herself been most thrillingly affected by them. Her name is Mrs. Kate Whitehurst, and her century and more of life was most of it lived as a slave in the South long years before there was a dream of questioning seriously the rights of slavery to exist. Her home is at 2237 Oxford street with her daughter, Mrs. Caroline Mitchell. She is still able to move about, although feebly, for she suffered a serious nervous shock a few weeks ago, when fire broke out right in her bedroom, and she was saved by policemen when she was not very far from suffocation. She is known to be in her one hundred and fourteenth year, but she may be somewhat older, and one estimate gave her age as one hundred and seventeen. But the recollection of her age by a daughter of her old master in the South, based on the record in her sales papers as a slave, is that she was born at the end of the eighteenth century, and she may be the senior by a few months of Aunt Mahala Ayers, whose one hundred and fourteenth birthday celebration has been planned as an event this year at the Home for Aged Colored People. Mrs. Whitehurst's own memory of dates in her long life carries her back as far as 1811, when the great comet, from whose year the most famous wines of Europe have been dated, was visible and gravely af frightening all over the world. "I saw the great star fall," she says, when she refers to that overshadowing event in her childhood, the one thing which could leave an indelible impression on the mind of a girl slave not yet in her teens, when all the ignorant, startled throng around her lived in terror of the great star's fall. She still sees herself standing in the midst of other slaves, at night under the soft southern sky, staring up at the awful portent and wondering, while her elders in that doubly hapless horde argued its consequences of pestilence and war. PRACTICAL TRAINING FOR GIRLS. THE SCHOOL Hampton girls are taught to do plain hand and machine sewing, cut, fit and make dresses, trim hats, weave rugs and select house furnishings. Tuskegee institute was opened July 4, 1881, in a rented church, a mere shanty, with 30 pupils and one teacher. To bring a school with such a beginning as that up to what it is now, and to gain for it a more than national reputation in the lifetime of one man, is a marvelous work. Back of it all is a master mind. There are scores of well-trained teachers, preachers (from Phelps Hall Bible training school), farmers, mechanics, trained nurses, seamstresses and good housekeepers send out every years from this school, carrying with them the spirit of Tuskegee to uplift the race. Wyoming mines and oil wells in 1913 had an output valued at $37,000,000, and live stock gave the state's ranchers revenues totaling more than $35,000,000. Gas City, Kan., has a population of 1,200, but abolished the office of city marshal for the reason that there has been nothing for him to do in a long time. Boston is planning to establish municipal lodging houses. There are two wage-earning women to every five wage-earning men in Great Britain. In Denver a woman can sign her husband's name to a check even when the bank account is in the latter's name. Vancouver recently received a shipment of 125 cub foxes from Skagway, Alaska, valued at $100,000. Sweden this year will import coal from Spitzbergen. VILLA TAKES FIVE BANKS AND $15,000,000 IN COTTON, TO FOIL REBELS, AS TAMPICO BATT TLE RAGES. CASH SENT TO EL PASO PENNILESS SPANIARDS RELY ON UNITED STATES FOR FOOD AND SHELTER. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Villa confiscates five banks in the city of Torreon and takes charge of cotton valued at $15,000, -000. Torreon bankers anticipate con- fiscation and ship $1,000,000 in bonds to the United States. Carranza upheld the expulsion order issued by Villa, driving 600 Spaniards out of Torreon. Washington pugilated by defiance of such laws, realizes America must care for deported Spaniards. Battle of Tampico rages with neither side in apparent advantage. Juarez, Mex.—General Villa took over the four principal banks of Torreon, according to a report which he telegraphed to this city with the request that it be given to the press of the United States. His prize does not include money or negotiable securities, however, as the bankers took the precaution of shipping these out when Federal General Velasco evacuated the city. He has the buildings and the furniture, however. The banks affected are the Banco Nacional, the Banco de Laguna, the German and South American Bank, and the Bank of London and Mexico. The most important property left behind by the Spaniards was cotton said to be valued at $15,000,000. Word was received from Torreon that $1,000,000 was being loaded on trains for shipment to El Paso by General Villa. It is stated that the Spanish owners cannot touch the property if it arrives here in bond, as is frequently the case. If it comes bonded for transit through the United States for shipment abroad it cannot be recovered, it is said. A precedent to this effect was established sometime ago in the case of a consignment of hides confiscated by the rebels and which the former owners attempted to recover through the United States courts. Among the refugees were three priests. There are still in the Laguna district 150 planters on their farms. They will be gathered together at Torreon and also sent out of the country. General Venustiano Carranza gave out a statement dealing with the subject of the expulsion of foreigners, justifying Villa's action and stating that Spanish property would not be confiscated. A similar statement on the subject of confiscation was made by Isidro Fabela, Carranza's minister of foreign relations. LEASING PLAN ROUNDLY SCORED Permanent Prosperity of West Must Come From Ownership. Denver.—Positive positions against the principles of leasing public lands and public resources were taken in the conference of Western governors by Governors Oddle of Nevada, Spry of Utah and Ammons of Colorado. They went on record as opposing all such leasing whenever it is in any way avoidable. Leasing, they argued, tends to make tenants instead of owners, whereas the permanent prosperity of the western states must be built up on a basis of ownership rather than of leasing. Another clash of ideas resulted at this, for A. A. Jones, assistant secretary of the interior, defended the leasing policy. Ownership instead of leasing, he declared, would tend to cause monopoly, the thing it was most desirable to avoid. $25,000,000 FOR PANAMA CANAL. Diplomats Sign Paper to Be Ratified by Senate and Central Americans. Washington. — Twenty-five million dollars is the amount the United States agrees to pay to Colombia for the partition of Panama and the acquisition of the canal zone, in the treaty signed in Bogota by American Minister Thompson and the Colombian authorities. This was stated here at the Colombian legation. No rights for a new interoceanic canal across Colombia, by the Atrató river route, and no coaling privileges on San Andreas and Providencia islands, off the Colombian coast, it was added, were contained in the treaty. The boundary between Colombia and Panama is to follow the line laid down in an earlier treaty which was signed but never approved by the Colombian Congress. U. S. Attorney Ridgley Removed. U. S. Attorney Ridgley Removed Cheyenne—H. S. Ridgley was removed from the United States district attorneyship by telegraph. Judge Riner of the United States Court appointed W. E. Mullen, Ridgley's assistant, acting attorney. Charles L. Ridgdon will be appointed Ridgley's successor. General Wood Sees U. S. War Near New Haven, Conn.—Gen. Leonard Wood admitted the United States expects war and must prepare for it. STERLING MILK PLANT NEARLY 1,000 -COWS PLEDGED FOR CONDENSORY. Dairy Advantages Considered, Committee Is Canvassing Conditions and Contracts Are Being Signed. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Sterling, Colo.—Every day brings greater assurance of the establishment of a condensory at Sterling. During the last week, County Agriculturist D. C. Bascom, special representative of the Sterling Commercial Association, has been visiting the farmers tributory to this city, and without exception, all have given their hearty assurance that they will co-operate in the success of the proposed milk plant. During the visit here a short time ago of Gilbert Landell, manager of the Colorado Condensed Milk Company, enthusiasm was manifested by the merchants and farmers of the county and nearly 1,000 cows were promised in case the condensory is established. Bascom has been making personal visits throughout the county and presenting contracts for signatures. Books of contracts have been placed at the banks of the city and elsewhere at convenient points. Indications are that a sufficient number of cows will be guaranteed to assure the installation of the plant by next fall. For the first year, only 1,500 cows will be required. The activity in establishing the condensory here has suggested many changes that will necessarily ensue. A more convenient tram service will be necessary between here and the Peetz section for the accommodation of those who will ship their products. And, in many cases, for the benefit of those who will baul by wagon, road improvement will be necessary. Dairying advantages are declared to be ideal, and it has been pointed out frequently by dairy experts from other sections and other states that the resources at hand are much greater than in many regions where great wealth has resulted in the maintenance of the dairy industry. Lost Arm. $10,000; Life. $2,000. Denver.—Two thousand dollars damages for a death and $10,000 for the loss of an arm in accidents which occurred on the same day in 1913 were verdicts returned almost simultaneously by injuries in two divisions of the District Court. Five minutes after they had been returned came the filing of a suit by Mrs. Sarah Moores to recover $15,000 for the loss of an eye against the Denver & Rio Grande railroad. Frederick Kalkman, twenty-five, a coffee roaster, was awarded the $10,000 verdict against the Independent Coffee & Spice Company in Judge Denison's division. Across the hall in Judge Allen's court a few minutes later a jury awarded Mrs. Mary De Yorio $2,000 for the death of her husband against the Denver City Tramway Company. Heroic Women Fight Fire. Greeley.—Forming a bucket brigade and fighting the flames like veteran fire fighters, the women of the neighborhood saved valuable property from destruction in a fire that destroyed the big barn and contents on the T. T. Wilson plaice, sixteen miles from here. The loss of the barn and contents was about $1,000, partly covered with insurance. 100.000 Pine Trees Gathered. Colorado Springs.—Students of the Colorado College school of forestry have gathered for the government over 100,000 young pine trees from the United States nurseries north of here, and shipped them to the forest reserve station at Halsey, Neb. As many more are to be sent to North Dakota for replanting. Woman Accused of Looting Homes. Cripple Creek.—Charged with having looted and stripped the homes of Mrs. Daisy Manghan and Mrs. Dora Crill while they were visiting out of the city, Mrs. Jennie Dwyer, fifty-four, property owner and taxpayer of this city, was arrested on complaints of grand larceny and burglary. Longmont Wants Milk Plant. Longmont.—At a meeting of the directors of the Longmont Commercial Association a movement was started for the location of a milk condensory at this place. The work of making a survey of this section to ascertain the amount of milk and cream that can be contracted will be started at once. Banker McBride Gets Five Years. Denver.—Will R. McBride, president of the defunct Night and Day bank, convicted of obtaining $25,000 from an aged miner by means of false pretenses, was sentenced to from five to seven years in the penitentiary by Judge Butler in the West Side Court. Coloradoan Weds in London. Colorado Springs—William F. Richards of this city was married at Christ church, London to Miss Leora Moore, an American girl whom he met while traveling abroad. After an extended tour they will return to this city to reside. Girl's Slayer Given Ten Years. Pueblo—James Williams, convicted slayer of Alberta Serfting, 3 years old, here last September, was sentenced to serve from ten to twelve years in the penitentiary at Cafon City.

Lawrence George, of 2828 Stout street, who has been a sufferer for some time, is gradually improving, of which we are glad to announce. Mrs. M. Austin arrived home Monday from Colorado Springs where she has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Lillian Collins, for two weeks. Grand Master E. V. Cammel organized Columbine Temple No. 11, S. M. T., on Saturday, April 4th, which adds to the strength and great prosperity of the order in this jurisdiction. Mr. Richard Cowden of this city, also Mr. and Mrs. Bennett of Colorado Springs, left last Saturday for Estes Park to prepare the Hotel Stanley for its spring and summer season.

F. and S. M. Ts.: Mrs. Josie Ramey, beneficiary of Mrs. Mattie Smith of Denver, $100; Mrs. Louis Doty, beneficiary of Mrs. Hattie Riley of Colorado Springs, $100. Frank Burnley, the energetic and ever enterprising manager of the Railroad Men and Waiters' Club, 2149 Curtis street, begs to remind his patrons that he is carrying out his intention of making his club rooms the most favorite and finest resort in the city. The artistic decorations and the installing of a new and up-to-date library are evidences de facto of Mr. Burnley's professional ideas. Railroad Porters' Club, 1728½ Wazee street, under the presidency and management of Chas. Harris, is forgiving its way to the front, and promises to eclipse all efforts made heretofore in catering to the enjoyment of its members. Mr. Harris is a specialist on catering to human wants, wishes, etc., and with this experience in club life he is sure to satisfy the most critical from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Lakes to the Gulf. J. F. Maul, proprietor and manager of the Western Columbia Laundry, 1833 Welton street, was arrested on a warrant for refusing to appear in court after being summoned at the instance of Officer U. Baker, who charged him with breach of the laws regulating to automobiles. Defendant in reply to Judge Stapleton, who enquired of his reason for not appearing remarked that though he had a number of colored patrons of his business, yet he could not allow himself to be brought to court by a colored man. He was severely reprimanded by the court and fined heavily. While his son was a month old last Monday, H. G. Lyman, vice president of the Lyman Millinery Co. at 1120-22 16th street, is still setting up the cigars, and says he has the finest boy in the Queen City. Well, we cannot vouch for that statement but we are in a position to say that he has one of the finest millinery establishments in the city and are selling goods that cannot be excelsed and at prices to suit your pocketbook. Mrs. M. M. Berry, mother of Thos. C. Berry, entertained a few of her son's friends at a sumptuous dinner last Sunday afternoon at her residence, 2831 South Logan. Covers were laid for thirty and so heartily was the enjoyment of the good things that were prepared that the guests were loathed to leave at the time of departure. Much praise and highest commendations were offered Mrs. Berry, who was ably assisted by Mrs. S. E. Jones, by those present, who declared her entertainment one of the best of the season. A. C. Lindsey, proprietor of the Little Savoy, 2721 Welton street, begs to announce that he' opens for business tomorrow, Easter Day, April 12th, and promises faithfully to do all in his power to satisfy his patrons. Short orders, ice cream and confectionaries will be served at the shortest notice, and Mr. Lindsey being thoroughly acquainted with the idea of catering to the public will surely make a success of this venture. Some of the city's best entertainers are engaged to delight the patrons of this new hostelry, so do not fail to put in your appearance at the opening and judge for yourself. Mr. Gassaway Walton has resigned his position as one of the managers of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association 2014 Champa, and has taken up a new position, that of chairman of the athletic and sport department. Under his chairmanship the interest of the members promises quite an increase, and with devotion to the cause and energy in the work, nothing short of success should attend such efforts. The management now devolves on Mr. Richard Frazier, who is not only popular with the members, but from his busi- ness experience and executive ability is capable of carrying on the Association to a successful issue. Success to the R. M. A. A. Success! DEATHS. Arthur Ramey died at the County hospital. Remains in care of the Douglas Undertaking Co. Funeral notice later.

Remains in care of the Douglas Undertaking Co. Funeral notice later. MADAM MORRIS OPENING Madam Esther Morris, our own reliable and fashionable milliner, scored a great success Saturday, April 4th, in her spring opening of a choice and varied assortment of goods. Quite a number of people both colored and white took advantage of visiting, and the unanimous opinion was that the business is worthy of support from her own as well as any other race. The display compared very favorably with the down-town business, and purchasers would be greatly benefited to call at the Millinery Parlors, 2953 Stout street, where they will be convinced that the madam is quite at home in catering to the tastes of the public in this particular. The usual gift of a costly and well trimmed hat to the person drawing the winning number among the visitors, was awarded to Mrs. Thomas A. Cox of 2633 Marion street. Madurn Morris left Thursday for Boulder to make some deliveries. A successful season and continuous patronage of this, the only colored business of its kind, is hoped for this energetic business woman. BETHLEHEM BAPSTAT CHURCH NOTES. Sunday School, 9:45 a. m.

After one has become acquainted with a world of them, an excursion into any of the best shops will discover a new lot or a new man- ner of using them, or a new color combination that is lable to enrap- ture the beholder. They are made of all sorts of fabrics and of other things than fabrics. For recently (but rare- ly) small china flowers have been dis- covered on hats, and little blossoms made of leather, or something that Jooks like it, Besides, there are any number of small fruits made of some sort of composition, and there are grasses that grew out of the ground, which no hand but nature’s could fashion. They are so dainty and won- derful, with hairlike branches and showers and pods the size of pin- heads. ( Grasses should be reckoned with by tho milliner, for they appeal to the best of her trade, There are a few artificial grasses which, like the nat- ural ones used, have been dyed into all the lovely colors of the season and are used {n connection with small flowers with such fine effect that they are sure to be in increasing demand ‘as the season advances, Small flowers appear to lead in pop- ular demand, but there is no great discrepancy between the liking for them and for larger varieties. Wreaths and béuguets made of sev- eral kinds of blossoms make possible the use of many harmonizing colors at once, which is a feature of the de mands of this particular season. But there are just as many hats trimmed with flowers in a single variety as there are trimmed with bouquets. Te new feature in neckwear is the Medici collar, which is supported by small wires or tiny bones. Ruffs and demt-collars are all made to stand up in the most sprightly fashion, which is a quite decided change from the siimpsy, fallingdown _ effects which have prevailed during the past year. Besides the wired collars and ruffs there are many net undersleeves. They extend from the elbow to the wrist with ruMes hanging over the hands. These ruffles are either of the net or of fine lace and are rather full. ‘When made of net, fine side plaits are preferred to plain ruffes. Also in choosing nets a fine quality is the only satisfactory selection, because it stands the necessary washing without being harmed. ‘The Medici collar is worn with turn- down and sailor collars or without them. It {s combined with fichu ends also, as shown in the illustration given here. These ficnu ends are usually made of net and trimmed with lace Insertions and edges, but the filmy shadow lace woven with a net pattern And there is no one flower more fa. vored than all others. Even the rose holds no pre-eminence, but roses of all sorts, from the tiniest “button roses” to the most gorgeous full bloom, extra big kind, are blooming on spring millinery wherever a dis- ‘play of it is seen, Millinery flowers deserve the suc: cess they are making. Their manu: facturers have produced them with ‘the most painstaking care. The col: ‘ors are beautiful beyond any that have ‘gone before. The color combinations ee wonderful and new. Nothing ap- parently has been too much trouble, ‘no detail too intricate or too stall for the makers of flowers to under take, As a result, millinery is charm- ing and bright, the most pleasing that has been produced for several springs. ‘The illustration given here pictures a few of the new flowers and from it their sizes and forms can be learned. Thelr beauty of coloring and thelr sheen and softness of texture is lost, since they cannot be reproduced in a picture. ‘The rose with long stem and follage is made of silk in the natural rose colors with petals and leaves that arc marvels of fidelity to nature. The lilacs are made of a fabric manufac tured especially for the usé of flower makers, with a surface so like that of the blo&som that it easily decetves the eye. Velvet, also specially manufac tured, is used for many flowers and together with silk in some of the roses. Small fruits are made of It little green and yellow lemons and peaches, cherries, plums and a few grapes. Satin is used also for smaller fruits and berries. i JULIA BOTTOMLEY. at the top, make very pretty fichus, which do not need lace insertion or | edging; the pattern woven in the lace takes their place. | These pretty accessories seem to belong to the fabrics which are pop- | ular for summer dressos—the printed /challies and yoiles, the thin and | auaintly figured silks, and all the soft crepes in cotton or silk which are so attractive in appearance and in price. |Many of the cotton fabrics and the lght wool challies are as beautiful in design and coloring as the most ex- pensive silks, after which they are patterned, but they range in price be- tween 40 and 80 cents a yard and sometimes may be bought for even less. The accessories that prove the greatest satisfaction to the wearer are those that can be used to freshen up a dress and that will stand fresh- ening up themselves by means of soap and water. Therefore, these net sleeves and sprightly coliars are des- tined to play a prominent part in our summer belongings. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Maggot Trap Possible Solution of the Fly Problem. United States Department of Agricul- ture Makes Successful Experi. ments That Should Be of In- terest to Health Officers. ee Sao, Sey, +18 maggots of the typhoid or housefly be- fore they develop into winged insects is a possible solution of the fly prob- Jem and one that should interest health officers, sanitarians and others who might make use of {t on manure heaps where this common pest breeds. The department of agriculture’s scientists in their preliminary experiments with such a trap have succeeded in destroy- ing from 70 to 99 per cent of the mag- gots ina pile of manure. This method | of attack differs from those which have been generally used, Fly poisons have been made to tempt the appetite | of the adult fly, or fly-tight receptacles have been used to keep the adult fe- male from laying her eggs in manure. ‘The newer method 1s based on the knowledge of certain habits of the un- developed fly maggot. ‘The maggots of the typhoid fly, it has been discovered, have a habit of migrating from their breeding places into drier portions of the manure heap. This seems a distinct move on their part to permit the adult fly to issue from the refuse in the easiest and quickest manner. The efficiency of the new trap is based on the regularity of this deep-seated habit. A large galvanized iron pan, measur- ing five by three feet, with sides four inches high, was made. In this stood a container on legs eight inches high. ‘This container measured four by two by two feet. ‘The sides and bottom were of heavy wire, one-fourth-inch mesh, supported by a light wooden framework. Twelve cubic feet of mature well infested with eggs and larvae were placed in this container and sprinkled with water. Water was also poured into the pan below to the depth of about one inch. Surrounding and covering both pan and container was a fly-tight inclosure made of a large cage, six by six by six feet. This prevented further infestation of the manure, and an arrangement of traps at the top of the cage made it possible to capture and keep a record of any flies that might emerge. At the time for the emergence of flies the sides of the cage were darkened with black cloth in order to drive the files into the traps at the top. Hach day the maggots were collected from the pan and counted, and each day the manure in the container was sprinkled thor- oughly with water and the pan was washed out and again partly filled with water to drown the larvae which fell Into it. ‘The experiments of the department's entomologists showed that from 98 to 99 per cent. of all the maggots in the manure pile were destroyed, if the manure was kept moist. From com- paratively dry manure about seventy per cent were destroyed. | These experiments, as yet, have been tried only on a comparatively small scale. The question immediately arises whether the trap which appears 80 successful on a small scale can be adapted to the handling of manure in a practical way on alarge scale. Every consideration points to the probability that it can and that it will afford “an additional weapon of great value.” However, the final verdict as to the value of the maggot trap must walt upon the solution of certain practical problems, To point out some of these here {s to suggest lines for further in- vestigation. (1) In the first place, there must be determined what form, size and con- struction of trap will give the best re- sults. ‘The answer to this will depend largely on the particular conditions ob- taining at any given stable, such as the amount of manure produced dally, the arrangements for drainage, ete, . It will also depend on the answer to the following problems: (2) How deeply may manure be heaped in a trap without interfering with the migration? It will probably: be found that the depth will make lit- tle difference, provided that the manure is kept moist, and provided that avenues of escape are afforded at the sides as well as at the bottom. (3) How long must manure be kept in a maggot trap before it is entirely free from larvae? This is a very ‘m- portant question from a practical standpoint, and one will find scant sug- gestion as to the answer in the litera- ture on the life history and habits. ‘The housefly breeds preferably in horse manure, but it has never been determined just how long a given lot of manure continues to be an attrac: tive place for egg laying, nor for how. long a period fly larvae will continue to appear in it. It is obvious that the maggot trap would not be practical {f the infestation of the manure were daily renewed for a long time. Under ordinary conditions the drying of the surface of a heap of manure probably. limits the period of egg laying to the firat day or two of exposure. Rut in a In support of this claim some expert- mental data may be given here, (4) The disposal of the maggots is another practical consideration. If the larvae were allowed to drop to the ground they would burrow into it to pupate there and nothing would be gained. It would be necessary to have some sort of, vessel, e. g., a concrete basin, beneath the trap. ‘This should have vertical sides and contain an inch or more of a weak disinfectant or of water covered with a film ot kerosene oil. If such a basin were connected with a sewer or cesspool the maggots collecting in it could be flushed out each week without the necessity of handling them in any way and without any offensive decomposition, ‘That the maggot trap possesses cer- tain advantages is obvious and ought to lead to many attempts to develop it along practical lines. Cheapness would be one of its strong points. Practically the only cost would be the initial one for the construction of the trap and of a basin or receptacle for catching and disposing of the’ maggots. Very little additional time or labor would be required in operating !t. The sprin- kling of the manure would be a very small part of the daily routine of re- moving the manure from the stables. Proper arrangements for the disposal of the maggots would require only a few minutes’ attention at long inter- vals. WARNS AGAINST FIRE. Post cards cautioning forest users in ‘the Appalachian region against set- Ung fires in the woods have recently been‘sent by the federal forest serv- ice to residents in the vicinity of the forest areas which have been pur- chased by the government. These post cards state that burning of the woods does not improve the grazing, and does not exterminate poisonous insects or animals. On the other hand, the cards say such burn- ing injures the grazing value of the land by killing off the better grasses, by decreasing the fertility of the soil and by increasing the possible dam- age to the ground, and its covering of vegetation, from frost, sun, wind and rain. Furthermore, they state that burning injures the timber, impairs its merchantability, and lowers its selling price; that it increases insect damage by weakening the vitality of the trees and afferding an entrance for Insects through fire scars; and, in addition, that it kills out the young trees which are just getting started. For the reasons enumerated, it is announced that no grazing will be al- lowed on the government lands which have been recently burnt, the rule being enforced in order to give the range a chance to recuperate from the effects of the burning. The effect of this prohibition will be to close certain areas against grazing; there- fore, fires set through a mistaken no- /tion that they will improve grazing will curtail the forage resources. The cards further ask co-operation of all forest users in the prevention and control of forest fires. AMERICAN CAVIAR. The use of the roe of salmon and other American fish for the making of American caviar is growing rap- idly, end as a result what at one time was a very serious waste has been turned into an excellent and valuable food. The principal difference be- tween this caviar and the Russian caviar is, that the Russian article is made principally out of sturgeon roe, while excellent American caviar 1s made from salmon roe, white fish roe, and the roes of other fish that ere handled on a large commercial scale as well as from sturgeon roe. ‘This caviar is made in the same man- ner as the Russian caviar. The roe of the fish is pressed through screens which allow the eggs to pass, but hold back all the membrane and the egg sacks. These eggs are then packed in a large quantity of salt which draws some of the water and other sub- scances from them. They are then canned or boxed and put on the mar- ket. American caviar, the specialists of the department of agriculture advise, should be sold for just what it Is and labeled to show the name of the fish from which the roe is taken, for ex- ample, American caviar from the Pa- cifle salmon should be labeled “Salm- on Caviar’; and that made from white ,flsh should be called “White Fish Caviar.” It is believed that the American caviar industry can develop a big sale of the product on its own merits, and should offer {t as an article that its American makers are proud to ac- knowledge, rather than as an imita tion of an imported article. POTATOES FROM HOLLAND. Potatoes may now be imported from the Kingdom of Holland to the United States if shipped in accordance with the restrictions and regulations that apply to the admission of other foreign potatoes. Notice to this effect has just been issued by the United Statos de- partment of agriculture, as {t has been ascertained that Holland {s now free from the injurious potato diseases and insect pests which caused the quaran- tine of December 22, 1913, to be ex- tended againstit, and has complied with all the conditions and require ments of the regulations governing the importation of potatoes into this coun try.

All Turn to Jerusalem Sacred Scenes of Crucifixion and Resurrection Attract Pilgrims in Thousands at Easter Time YPICAL of the passing of winter gloom and of the coming of summer splendor, that was Easter from the beginning, the very embryo of nature study, the spontaneous expres- T sion of man's delight in the ever joyful and beautiful annual miracle of the springtime. "A thousand hills" in verdure clad, rare valleys spangled with wee wildlings, nurtured in nature's endless chain of gardens; vast forests putting on robes of spring and those trees which in their fruition offer feasts to humanity, first holding out their flowery offerings to their deities; flawless skies with cloudlets by way of making the blue dome more radiant—that was the world's pagan springtime up to that springtime of springtimes, that Sunday of Sundays, which we now celebrate as the chief festival of the resurrection of Christ and of the Christian era. Easter! glorious Easter! Herald of nature's year, symbol of life eternal! Upon Easter all the Christian churches the wide world over hold commemorative services. Millions of voices are raised in praise; millions of heads are bowed in worship. In the primitive church it was one of the special days for baptism. The Latin name of the Octave, or the following Sunday, Dominicus in albs, preserves the memory of the custom of the newly-baptized, wearing their white robes throughout the entire Week. Russian Christians, who now make pilgrimages to the Holy Land, however poor they may be, and however much they may need the room for food and extra clothing, carry with them one precious parcel which contains the white robe for the baptism in the Jordan, to which they go after celebrating Easter in Jerusalem. After this baptism the robe is never put on again until it serves as a shroud. ```markdown ``` Going down to Jericho from Jerusalem and returning two or three companies of pilgrims will be met, thousands of them in each group, walking single file as a rule, though some of them ride on donkeys. In the distance they look like ants winding round and round the mountain roads, the blackness of the little line showing all the clearer from afar, because there are no other living things, animal or vegetable, to break the wild and awful mountainous monotony of the clayey and chalky limestone chasms and precipices. However, compelling in interest other parts of Palestine may be at Easter, the thoughts of the Christian world, as well as the steps of pilgrims, turn Jerusalemward. And of all the places of overwhelming interest in Jerusalem those connected with the crucifixion and the resurrection are of the most vital and compelling interest. The various sects have shed blood following their arguments over sacred matters hereabouts, but, according to the guide-book, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher covers the traditional spot of both. Reached through narrow, crooked, none too clean streets, this church fills the visitor with mingled emotions. Squatting on the stone-paved space before the south Traditional Tomb of Christ in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. entrance are sellers of beads, evil eyes and various souvenirs made of olive wood. Once inside, one finds armed Moslem custodians, who are necessary to keep the peace between the jealous Christian pilgrims from various parts of the world, some of them half-starved fanatics, who have sacrificed everything except life itself to get there. And here one finds hanging any number of beautiful metal lamps. The Greeks are allowed a certain number, the Armenians so many, and so on. Almost as soon as the guard is passed the large "Stone of Anoint C ITH the coming of Easter interest is always aroused in the ancient belief, ceremonies and observances that are brought together in the celebration of the modern festival. These include such things as eggs, cakes, flowers, presents and the Easter hare, to say nothing of other items obsolete in our times. Individual notings of one or another of the ceremonies or observances have there been, but it is by no means easy to lay hand on any assembling of them. Authorities agree that the remote ancestor of Easter was a ceremony of pagan worship. Distant as are the origins of the old religious iorms and intertwined as are the threads, connecting them with the present, it is not now easy to disentangle them, so that it may be said that Easter observances among the people include remnants of the ancient worship of the sun, the moon and fire and water. The keynote of the festival has been from the very beginning resurrection, the re-awakening of the vernal world. The name is that of a goddess of spring, and certain of the emblems have had a co-relation that is remarkable, and through thirty centuries they have come down to us together, preserving the early significance of resurrection, although the faith that originated the ideas had ages ago been forgotten. The idea of Easter sprang truly from a tomb; that tomb was, however, the tomb of winter. The strong angel that rolled away the stone from the door of the sepulcher was the April sun. Although Lent has the claim of Christian origin, there are antiquarians who assert that it is of far more ancient origin. It arose, as nearly as has yet been determined, in the fasting that was customary among the Babylonians, whose worship formed the starting point of Easter. The fast was one of sympathy with the goddess of reproduction, who mourned her consort, and the period was marked by fasting and an abstinence from mirth and social festivals. Fasting has been a widespread custom, Humboldt noting fasts in Mexico, where, curiously enough, the invading Spaniards found the natives practicing baptism, with an invocation to Cioacooat that "the sin which was given before the beginning of the world might not visit the child, but that cleansed by these waters it might live and be born anew." Easter was at first a continuation of the Jewish Passover and came on the fourteenth of the month Nisan. When the revulsion of feeling in the church against the Jews occurred it was changed and deliberately fixed so that it could by no possibility fall on the same day as the Passover. This matter was settled in A. D. 325. Easter was set for the first Sunday following the full moon that comes after March 21. This relation to the vernal equinox brought it to the time of the pagan festival of the goddess of spring, dating back to the Astarte worship of Babylonia. The name, Easter, is comparatively modern, but the principle of the story and the emblems and observances are of this ancient date. "Easter fires continue even now in northern Europe," wrote Grimm a generation ago. On the Weser a tar barrel was tied to a fire tree and lighted in the evening and the men and the maidens sang and danced about it. There was a fire on every hilltop. There were processions to these fires and hymn singing and the bearing of white rods were features. The people liked to carry the fire home with them; it was a sacred fire and embodied elements of the old fire worship. It was produced by friction, a natural method, and to kindle it two boys were selected who knew nothing of the vanities of the world. Within a quarter of a century in Hildesheim the Easter fire has been struck with the steel. Here the people take the fire home to rekindle their extinguished hearths. The old sacred fires were lighted by natural means, some of them by concentration of the gun's rays through mirrors. If if were not for Spring we should lack one main prop to our faith in a future life ment" is reached. On this the body of Jesus is said to have lain when it was anointed by Nicodemus. The principal part of this building is the rotunda of the sepulcher. The chapel of the sepulcher is about six feet each way, and very low, 43 precious lamps hanging from the ceiling. It is here on the split marble slab, which serves as an altar, that the members of the Catholic church (Latin, Greek, Armenian chiefly), or their friends, have blessed rosaries and crucifixes. It is entered through the vestibule called the Angels' chapel. The vast and dim church is explored by the painstaking visitor with guide, lamp and opera glasses. It varies from the finished, marble-faced and much decorated parts to others that suggest dusty store rooms in neglected attics. In 1894 the site known as the Garden Tomb was purchased for $10,000 by Church of England people, this body believing it to be the site of the entombment. It is a beautiful spot with quantities of fragrant rosemary wands forever swaying along with the rosy-fruited racemes of the pepper trees. It is very near to Gordon's Calvary, which is best seen from the entrance to Solomon's quarries; though just outside the Damascus gate, these quarries extend under the city to a distance of 700 feet. One authority says that from them enough marble was taken to build ten cities the size of Jerusalem. No wonder "not a sound was heard," since all the cutting was done before the stones were taken out. "Why Weepest Thou." Wherever grief walks lonely in its garden, an upward glance again reveals him, and there comes again the gentle question, like a soft touch on the heart's door to invite confession. Why should any one go uncomforted? To every one who grieves or suffers, the tender Lord stands as close today as he did to Mary on that first Easter morning. And to one who really takes the comfort that is offered, there is ever after, no one hour or day of comfort only, but a year-long Easter. Glorious Easter Message. How it changes the outlook on life, this Easter message! How differently we look upon the inhumanities of this life, the unfairness, the indignity, the sorrow of it all. It is for such a tiny part of our life! Just the schooling period! All the evidence shows there will be a balancing of accounts and a better state of things for those who wish for it, on the other side of the grave.
