XX1. The three-day session of the Federation of Women's Club which begun on Tuesday 15th inst. and ended on Thursday 17th inst. will be long-lived in the memory of not only the women's clubs of the Colorado jurisdiction but also the citizens of Denver, as from the kind of feeling and pleasant relationship that existed among the women it was clear that the real spirit of FEDERATION was in evidence. Beginning with an executive session on Tuesday afternoon, followen by a public reception at Old Colony Hall in which more than five hundred persons of both sexes participated, the session continued on Wednesday at the Zion Baptist Church which was generously given for the holding of the sessions. On Wednesday evening a public meeting was held at the State Capitol Building in Legislative Assembly Hall presided by Mrs. Mary H. Baker of Cheyenne, Wyoming, president of the Federation. This meeting was honored by the presence of Governor George A. Carlson and wife the former making the address of welcome. The governor's speech was timely—the same lending an inspiration to the large gathering assembled as he appealed to them for harmony and unity in their ranks as those were the only agents that would bring a closer relationship and affiliation among the races of this great Republic. A program consisting of music and speeches was neatly enjoyed by the audience—the contributors sharing equally the applause given them. Special mention must be made of master Atwell Rose and Miss Cleo Hobson a pair of juvenile local musical celebrities, who brought down the house with their violin and piano playing. The president also gave a very stirring address which proved the marked ability of our women and the latent talent possessed by them. Thursday the closing day marked the election of officers for the ensuing year and closing exercises. The following were elected.—President, Mrs. Dorcas Watson, of Pueblo; 1st Vice President, Mrs. L. M. Davis, of Colorado Springs; 2nd Vice President, Mrs. Hines of Grand Junction; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Clara Banks, Colorado Springs; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Carson of Pueblo; Treasurer, Mrs. Josephine cassells, Denver; Chairman Executive Board, Mrs. J. W. Braxton of Colorado Springs; State Organizer, Mrs. Florence cooper, Denver. The next meeting place will be at colorado Springs 1916, when the convention promises to eclipse even this one. LITIGATION OVER THE CHURCH WILL ENDED Memphis, Tenn., June 1.—The fight against the will of the late R. R. Church ended today, when the Supreme Court of Tennessee in an unanimous opinion handed down through Mr. Justice Fancher held that the will could not be attacked, and that those who had challenged it had no standing in court. This means that the estate, one of the largest in the territory, left by a colored man without a cent of indebtedness against it, will be distributed as he directed, and in no other way, and that the widow, Mrs. Anna S. Church, executrix, will be undisturbed as the agent of the lawful heirs. The case attracted wide notice, because of the fortune involved and the prominence of the Church family. It has been in the courts about three years. Laura Napier claimed to be a daughter of Mr. Church, and asked the right to attack the will The burden of the defense of the will has been borne by Robert R. Church, Jr., who acted for his family. The heirs are the widow, Mrs. Anna S. Church; Miss Annette E. Church, E. R. Church, Jr., Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, and Thomas A. Church. MARCHING ON BOSTON The Fifteenth Anniversary of the founding of the National Negro Business League will be celebrated at Boston, Mass., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18th, 19th and 20th, 1915. The Boston Local Negro Business League, as well as the Local Negro Business League of Cambridge, is hard at work perfecting arrangements for the reception and entertainment of the delegates who are planning to be present. Aside from the regular business sessions of the League, the social side of the convention will not be neglected. A Guarantee Fund has already been secured for the purpose of financing every feature of the entertainment and reception of the delegates. HISTORICAL TRADITIONS Historic Boston, with its many DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. JUNE 12. 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House GIANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO traditions intimately connected with the life and history of the Negro people, and particularly with the movement which led to their freedom and enfranchisement, is a Mecca toward which our race should from time to time turn. It was in Boston the first meeting of the League was held August 23rd and 24th, 1900; and in holding the meeting there this year it will fittingly celebrate the Fifteenth Anniversary of the founding of the League; afford an opportunity for "taking stock"—an inventory, as it were—of racial progress and development since the organization of the league; and fortified by the accumulated knowledge and experiences of these years, the business men and women of the race may face the future with greater inspiration and a firmer grasp of the complex problems of modern business. GAINS BY THE RACE IN FIFTEEN YRS. In 1910, when the National Negro Business League was organized, there were about 20,000 Negro business enterprises; now there are 45,000. In 1900 there were two Negro banks; now there are 51. In 1900 Negroes were running 250 drug stores; now they have 695. In 1900 there were 450 undertaking businesses operated by Negroes; now there are about 1,000. In 1900 there were 149 Negro merchants engaged in wholesale businesses; now there are 240. In 1900, fifteen years ago, these were 10,000 Negro retail merchants now there are 25,000. FURTHER ECONOMIC PROGRESS In the fifteen years since the National Negro Business League was organized, farm property owned by Negroes has made a remarkable increase. From 1900 to 1910, the value of domestic animals owned by Negro farmers increased from $85,216,337 to $177,273,792 or 107 per cent; poultry from $3,787,792 to $5,113,756, or 36 per cent; implement and machinery from $18,-568,225 to $36,861,418, or 98 per cent; land and buildings from $69,-636,420 to $273,501,665, or 293 per cent. In ten years the total value of farm property owned by Negroes increased from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218, or 177 per cent. Arrangements are already being made for the comfort of delegates who intend to attend the meetings. A National Negro Business League special train, which will carry delegates from the far South to the Boston meeting, is already being planned for and, in addition, arrangements will also be made for our friends from the West, with Chicago as the center, to make the trip to Boston in a body. Further details with reference to these arrangements will be published shortly. The officers of the affiliated or- organizations of the National Negro Business League, including the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Bankers' Association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, the National Association of Negro Insurance Men are each individually planning their several programs so as to add interest and to make them constructively worth while. Further information as to detailed plans for the coming meeting, etc., may be secured from Booker T. Washington, Pres. J. C. Napier, Chairman Execu- Committee, or from Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. JACK JOHNSON SAYS HE IS NOW AN ACTOR London, May 29.—Jack Johnson, resplendent in a suit of white wool, wherein black checks figured dazzlingly, walked up Piccadilly this afternoon accompanied by a white man wearing a silk hat, whose extreme height was less than five feet. Johnson was in high spirits, and stopped a dozen times in every block to chat with acquaintances. According to his story, he went to Spain "just to see the bullfight," but the most interesting announcement he made was that he is about to "turn into a regular actor." Questioned concerning his plunge into the world of the thespians. Johnson insisted that he is very serious about it, and pointed out the case of Jim Corbett's success. "My partner here," he said, indicating the diminutive white man, "will be the 'straight' end of the team and I will be the commedian. He will play the piano and I will sing and dance and do the comedy business. We have a sketch all worked out. It ought to go with a scream. "I certainly can dance with any of them, and I know how to sing, too." Asked for his opinion of Jess Willard, Johnson smiled hugely. "He is pretty good man," he said, "pretty good, but that about lets him out." Why He Does Not "Ring True." A small piece of foreign substance falling into the bell metal will ruin the resonance and music of the bell. That is what we mean when we say that such a man does not "ring true;" some foreign substance has got into the casting of his life. Truth. Truth itself, according to Locke's fine saying, will not profit us so long as she is but held in the hand and taken upon trust from other minds, not wooed and won and wedded by our own.—George Elliot.

Ashley Ward and Andrew Holmes, three young white men, were declared guilty of first degree murder for the killing of Angus Neely, an Afro-American, and their sentences fixed at life imprisonment by a jury in the First Division, Circuit Court, last week. The sentence of life imprisonment is the first imposed in Pulaski county and the conviction of white men for first degree murder of an Afro-American sets a precedent in Arkansas, it is said. An act passed by the last legislature gave juries power to fix life imprisonment Chicago, June 1.—Oscar DePriest, recently elected to the Board of Aldermen from the second ward, was presented a handsome gold star studded with diamonds by colored citizens at the Institutional Church a few evenings ago. Edward D. Green, a former member of the legislature, was master of ceremonies. Baltimore, Md, June 2—"If the white people want segregation, then make the most of it in a business way," asserted Dr. Ernest Lyon before the meeting of the Maryland State Baptist Missionary Convention last Friday. The speaker went on to say that the race should make the most of segregation by standing and supporting racial business enterprises. The convention elected the following officers: The Revs. John H. Taylor, president; M. A. Kyle and R. T. Winn, vice-president; R. D. Johnson, secretary; A. B. Callis, corresponding secretary; Samuel Ward, assistant secretary; Jones Watkins, treasurer, and C. D.

Fisher, NO 43 Ashley Ward and Andrew Holmes, three young white men, were declared guilty of first degree murder for the killing of Angus Neely, an Afro-American, and their sentences fixed at life imprisonment by a jury in the First Division, Circuit Court, last week. The sentence of life imprisonment is the first imposed in Pulaski county and the conviction of white men for first degree murder of an Afro-American sets a precedent in Arkansas, it is said. An act passed by the last legislature gave juries power to fix life imprisonment at the penalty in cases in which formerly the death penalty was mandatory. The victim of the murder was a native of Africa, very eccentric and miserly. He was supposed to have had about $1,500 concealed in his house Robbery was the motive for the murder. The aged man was killed on the night of December 15, at his home near Wrightsville. None of the defendants showed any emotion when the verdict was returned. Washington,—Judge Robert H. Terrell, whose reappointment as a member of the bench of the Municipal Court for the District of Columbia, precipitated a big fight among Southern Senators against confirmation, filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy, a few days ago. He lists his liabilities as $13,491.58 and his assets above legal exemptions as $62.50. An attempt to revive judgments of eleven years growing out of the failure of the Capitol Savings Bank, in which he had been a stockholder, is assigned by Judge Terrell as the cause of his action in invoking the bankruktey law. The incident has caused some surprise among Washingtonians, as the incidents leading up to the matter have largely been forgotten in the whirling of time and other exciting events; but no one seems disposed to blame the Judge, for it appears that he was a victim of an unfortunate circumstance, for which he was in no wise morally responsible, and has suffered enough in consequence thereof. It is an open secret that the judge as a matter of pride and conscience has for years been paying off debts which should have been shared by others, and that the major portion of his earnings has gone in this way. Too proud to take advantage of the law until forced by drastic measures to do so, he has borne his burden without complaint. BRYAN RESIGNS FROM CABINET RESIGNATION OF HEAD OF STATE DEPARTMENT ACCEPTED BY PRESIDENT AT ONCE. SPLIT ON GERMAN NOTE INADELIITY TO AGREE WITH PRES IDENT ON SUBMARINE POLICY CAUSES BRYAN TO QUIT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, June 9. William Jennings Bryan, three times Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the G. HARRIS & SWINE WILLIAM J. BRYAN. United States, and author of nearly thirty peace treaties with the principal nations of the world, resigned as secretary of state as a dramatic sequel to his disagreement with President Wilson over the government's policy toward Germany. The resignation was accepted by the President. The Cabinet then approved the response which had been prepared to the German reply to the C. HARRIS & EWING ROBERT LANSING. Lusitania note. Acting Secretary Robert Lansing will sign the document and it will be cabled to Berlin. Secretary Bryan will return to private life. It was learned that he intends to continue his political support of the President. Rather than sign the document which, he believed, might possibly draw the United States into war, Mr. Bryan submitted his resignation in a letter declaring that "the issue involved is of such moment that to remain a member of the Cabinet would be as unfair to you as it would be to the cause which is nearest my heart—namely, the prevention of war." The President accepted the resignation in a letter of regret tinged with deep personal affection. The letters constituting the official announcement of Mr. Bryan's departure from the Cabinet to private life were made public at the White House. In Austro-German quarters, where there has been some confidence that Secretary Bryan's influence for peace would make impossible a rupture the resignation of the secretary caused much uneasiness.

Political Events in Bryan's Career. Bryan first won national attention with respect to the tariff in October 1896. His "cross of gold and crown of thorns," speech at Chicago, 1896, gained him the Democratic nomination for the presidency. He was his party candidate in 1900 and again in 1908, though instructed for Champ Clark, a Baltimore convention and secured latter's nomination for President. He has written thirty peace treaties while holding state portfolio. He is leading, advocate of prohibition, national suffrage and universal peace; he lecturer, author and newspaper publisher. BRYAN'S LETTER TO PRESIDENT Resigning Cabinet Position and Reply Made by Wilson. Washington, June 9. — Secretary Bryan's letter of resignation to President Wilson was as follows: My Dear Mr. President: It is with sincere regret that I have reached the conclusion that I should return to you the commission of secretary of state, with which you honored me at the beginning of your administration. Obedience to your sense of duty and actuated by the highest motives, you have prepared for transmission to the German government a note in which I cannot join without violating what I deem to be an obligation to my country and the issue involved is of such moment that to remain a member of the cabinet would be as unfair to you as it would be to the cause which is nearest my heart, namely, the prevention of war. I therefore respectfully tender my resignation, to take effect when the note is sent, unless you prefer an earlier hour. Alike desirous of reaching a peaceful solution of the problems arising out of the use of submarines against merchantmen, we find ourselves differing irreconcilably as to the methods which should be employed. It falls to your lot to speak officially for the nation; I consider it to be none the less my duty to endeavor as a private citizen to promote the end which you have in view by means which you do not feel at liberty to use. In severing the intimate and pleasant relations which have existed between us during the past two years, permit me to acknowledge the profound satisfaction which it has given me to be associated with you in the important work which has come before the State Department, and to thank you for the courtesies extended. With the heartiest good wishes for your personal welfare and for the success of your administration, I am, my dear Mr. President, very truly yours, W. J. BRYAN. Washington, June 8, 1915. President's Letter to Secretary Bryan. The President's letter to Mr. Bryan was as follows: My Dear Mr. Bryan: I accept your resignation only because you insist upon its acceptance; and I regret it with much more deep regret, with a feeling of personal sorrow. Our two years of close association have been very delightful to me. Our judgments have accorded in practically every matter of official duty and of public policy until now; your support of the work and purposes of the administration have been generous and loyal beyond praise, your devotion to the duties of your great office and your eagerness to take advantage of every great opportunity for service it offered has been an example to the rest of us; you have earned our affectionate admiration and friendship. Even now we are not separated in the object we seek, but only in the method by which we seek it. It is for these reasons my feeling about your retirement from the secretaryship of state goes so much deeper than regret. I sincerely deplore it. Our objects are the same and we ought to pursue them together. I yield to your desire only because I must and wish to bid you God speed in the parting. We shall continue to work for the same causes even when we do not work in the same way. With affectionate regard, sincerely yours. WOODROW WILSON. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie].

REJOINDER TO GERMAN NOTE ASSURANCES ASKED THAT "AMERICAN LIVES AND AMERICAN SHIPS" WILL BE SAFEGUARDED. FULL TEXT OF MESSAGE TORPEDOING OF LUSITANIA DECLARED OUT OF ORDINARY CLASS OF SUBJECTS FOR DIPLOMATIC DISCUSSION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, June 11.—Following is the full text of President Wilson's second note sent to Germany: The secretary of state, ad interim to the American ambassador at Berlin: Department of State, Washington, June 9, 1915. American Ambassador, Berlin: You are instructed to deliver sexually the following note to the minister of foreign affairs: In compliance with your excellency's request, I did not fail to transmit to my government immediately upon the receipt of your note of May 28 in reply to my note of May 15, and your supplementary note of June 1, setting forth the conclusions so far as reached by the imperial German government concerning the attacks on the American steamers Cushing and Guliflight. I am now instructed by my government to communicate the following in reply: Principle in Gulflight Case. The government of the United States notes with gratification the full recognition by the imperial German government, in discussing the cases of the Cushing and the Gulflight, of the principle of the freedom of all parts of the open sea to neutral ships and the frank willingness of the imperial government to acknowledge and meet its liability where the fact of attack upon neutral ships which have not been guilty of any hostile act by German aircrafts or vessels of war is satisfactorily established; and the government of the United States will in due course lay before the imperial German government, as it requests, full information concerning the attack on the steamer Cushing. With regard to the sinking of the steamer Falaba by which an American citizen lost his life, the government of the United States is surprised to find the imperial German government contending that an effort on the part of the merchantmen to escape capture and secure assistance alters the obligation of the officer seeking to make the capture in respect of the safety of the lives of those on board the merchantman, although the vessel has ceased her attempt to escape when torpedoed. These are not new circumstances. They have been in the minds of statesmen and of international jurists throughout the naval warfare and the government of the United States does not understand that they have ever been held to alter the principles of humanity upon which it has insisted. Nothing but actual, forcible resistance or continued efforts to escape by flight when ordered to stop for the purpose of visit on the part of the merchantman has ever been held to forfeit the lives of her passengers or crew. The government of the United States, however, does not understand that the imperial German government is seeking in this case to relieve itself of liability, but only intends to set forth the circumstances which led the commander of the submarine to allow himself to be hurried into the course which he took. Your excellency's note, in discussing the loss of American lives resulting from the sinking of the steamship Lusitania, adverts at some length to certain information which the imperial German government has received with regard to the character and outfit of that vessel, and your excellency expresses the fear that this information may not have been brought to the attention of the government of the United States. It is stated in the note that the Lusitania was undoubtedly equipped with masked guns, supplied with trained gunners and special ammunition, transporting troops from Canada, carrying a cargo not permitted under the laws of the United States to a vessel also carrying passengers, and serving; in virtual effect, an auxiliary to the naval forces of Great Britain. Information Herd By America. Fortunately, these are matters concerning which the government of the United States is in a position to give the imperial German government official information. Of the facts alleged in your excellency's note, if true, the government of the United States would have been bound to take official cognizance in performing its recognized duty as a neutral power and in enforcing its national laws. It was its duty to see to it that the Lusitania was not armed for offensive action; that she was not serving as a transport; that she did not carry a cargo prohibited by the statutes of the United States and that, if in fact she was a naval vessel of Great Britain she should not receive clearance as a merchantman; and it performed that duty and enforced its statutes with scrupulous vigilance through its regularly constituted officials. It is able, therefore, to assure the imperial German government that it has been misinformed. If the imperial German government should deem itself to be in possession of convincing evidence that the officials of the government of the United States did not perform these duties with thoroughness, the government of the United States sincerely hopes that it will submit that evidence for consideration. Whatever may be the contentions of the imperial German government regarding the carriage of contraband of war on board the Lusitania or regarding the explosion of that material by the torpedo, it need only be said that in the view of this government these contentions are irrelevant to the question of the legality of the methods used by the German naval authorities in sinking that vessel. But the sinking of passenger ships involves principles of humanity which throw into the background any special circumstances of detail that may be thought to affect the cases, principles which lift it, as the imperial government will no doubt be quick to recognize and acknowledge, out of the class or ordinary subjects of diplomatic discussions or of international controversy. Whatever be the other facts regarding the Lusitania, the principal fact is that a great steamer, primarily and chiefly a conveyance for passengers, and carrying more than a thousand souls who had no part or lot in the conduct of the war, was torpeded and sunk without so much as a challenge or a warning, and that men, women and children were sent to their death in circumstances unparalleled in modern warfare. The fact that more than one hundred American citizens were among those who perished, made it the duty of the government of the United States to speak of these things and once more, with solemn emphasis, to call the attention of the imperial German government to the grave responsibility which the government of the United States conceives that it has incurred in this tragic occurrence, and to the indisputable principle upon which that responsibility rests. America Contends for all Humanity. The government of the United States contending for something much greater than mere rights of property or privileges of commerce. It contending for nothing less high and sacred than the rights of humanity, which every government honors itself in respecting and which no government is justified in resigning on behalf of those under its care and authority. Only her actual resistance to capture or refusal to stop when ordered to do so for the purpose of visit could have afforded the commander of the submarine any justification for so much as putting the lives of those on board the ship in jeopardy. This principle the government of the United States understands the explicit instructions issued on Aug. 3, 1914, by the imperial German admiralty to its commanders at sea to have recognized and embodied, as do the naval codes of all other nations, and upon it every traveler and seaman had a right to depend. Willing to Act as Intermediary. It is upon this principle of humanity as well as upon the law founded upon this principle that the United States must stand. The government of the United States is happy to observe that your excellency's note closes with the intimation that the imperial German government is willing, now as before, to accept the good offices of the United States in an attempt to come to an understanding with the government of Great Britain by which the character and conditions of the war upon the sea may be changed. The government of the United States would consider it a privilege thus to serve its friends and the world. It stands ready at any time to convey to either government any intimation or suggestion the other may be willing to have it convey and cordially invites the imperial German government to make use of its services in this way at its convenience. Previous Representations Renewed. The whole world is concerned in anything that may bring about even a partial accommodation of interests on any way mitigate the terrors of the present distressing conflict. In the meantime, whatever arrangement may happily be made between the parties to the war, and whatever may in the opinion of the imperial German government have been the provocation or the circumstantial justification for the past acts of its commanders at sea, the government of the United States confidently looks to see the justice and humanity of the government of Germany vindicated in all cases where Americans have been wronged or their rights as neutrals invaded. The government of the United States therefore very earnestly and very solemnly renews the representations of its note transmitted to the imperial German government on the 15th of May, and relies in these representations upon the principles of humanity, the universally recognized understandings of international law and the ancient friendship of the German nation. The government of the United States cannot admit that the proclamation of war zone from which neutral ships have been warned to keep away, may be made to operate as in any degree an abbreviation of the rights either of American ship masters or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passengers on merchant ships of belligerent nationality. Assurances as to Ships Asked. It does not understand the imperial German government to question those rights. It understands it, also, to accept as established beyond question the principle that the lives of noncombatants cannot lawfully or rightfully be put in jeopardy by the capture or destruction of an unresisting merchantman, and to recognize the obligation to take sufficient precaution to ascertain whether a suspected merchantman is in fact of belligerent nationality or is in fact carrying contraband of war under a neutral flag. The government of the United States therefore deems it reasonable to expect that the German imperial government will adopt the measures necessary to put these principles into practice in respect of the safeguarding of American lives and American ships, and asks for assurances that this will be done.

The crew was saved. After a siege of three weeks the fortress of Przemysl in Galicia has fallen to the Austrians. The Russians were in possession a little over 70 days. The Belgian steamer Menapier has been sent to the bottom by a German torpedo near the North Foreland. Out of twenty-three persons on board only six were saved. Three German submarines recently were trapped and captured in the Firth of Tay near Glasgow, according to persons arriving at New York on the steamer Cameronia from Glasgow and Liverpool. British airmen destroyed a Zeppelin in a spectacular cloud battle over Belgium. Two other British aviators bombarded a German airship shed at Evere, north of Brussels, and destroyed it by fire. Three German transports, the Russian second-class cruiser Amur, a naval auxiliary vessel, a British bark and steamer and a French mine-layer, have been sunk, according to official announcement made in London. Five more trawlers have been sunk by German submarines. The attacks occurred off Peterhead and the Dogberry of Hull, Persimmon of Grimsby and Gazehound and Curlew of Sunderland were the victims. The Hull trawler Bardolph has also been sunk by a submarine. The crews of all the trawlers were saved. Austro-German forces continue their advance against Russians, and menace Lemberg, stronghold in Galicia. Italian armies cross the Isonzo river, meeting with desperate resistance. Allied troops on Gallipoll peninsula driven back with heavy losses, according to report from Constantinople. Serbian troops keep up march on Scutarl. WESTERN The pilot schooner Adventuress, formerly the yacht-of John Borden of Chicago, was virtually destroyed by fire in San Francisco bay. A. L. Dyer, forty-four years old, American vice-consul at Monterey, Mex., who was found dead in a street of that city several days ago, died of heart failure. Patrick Clark, sixty-five, a millionaire mining man, known in the Coeur d' Alene of Idaho and the mining camps of Nevada and Montana, died at his home in Spokane, Wash., of heart failure. Seven deaths by drowning was the toll in Chicago the first Sunday of the present heat wave, according to the reports to the police. Thousands of persons sought relief from the heat by swimming and boating. The maxi-mum temperature was 88. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is running work-train equipment to its damaged roadbed between Casper, Wyo., and Thermopolis and hopes within ten days to have trains running over the twelve-mile section of track which was damaged by the phenomenal flood. WASHINGTON Frederick B. Lynch of Minnesota was elected chairman of the finance committee of the national Democratic committee. The Federal Reserve Board granted trustee powers to the First National Bank of Trinidad, First National of Eagle, Colo., and First National of Cheyenne, Wyo. The thirty-ninth battleship built for the American navy since 1892 will take the water June 19, when the superdreadnought Arizona slips from the ways at the New York navy yard. Steps toward a memorial to the late Clara Barton, founder of the American National Red Cross, to be erected in Washington, were taken by the Legion of Loyal Women, which asked Grand Army of the Republic posts, patriotic organizations and others throughout the country to cooperate. President Wilson by his every word and act showed his deep feeling over Secretary Bryan's decision to resign from the cabinet. Sherman T. McPherson, district attorney for southern Ohio, resigned, and President Wilson selected Stuart R. Bolin of Columbus to succeed him. President Wilson let it be known that the note which the United States is to send to Germany with respect to submarine warfare had been prepared with the utmost expedition and had not been subject to an hour's unnecessary delay since it was first drafted. FOREIGN King George granted an audience to American Ambassador Page. The French mine-layer Casabianca was blown up by a mine at the entrance to a bay on the Egean Sea. Official announcement was made in London that a German spy named Muller had been sentenced to death. A dispatch to the Havas agency from Madrid says, "The Spanish government issued a loan of $150,000,000 at 4½ per cent." The restaurant Baratte, famous night resort of the quarter of the Central Markets in Paris, has been closed, and will probably never be reopened. The Italian government has declined to accept the military service of Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, because of its delicacy of feeling toward France. An Athens dispatch to the London Exchange Telegraph Company says that Prof. Eiselberg of Vienna performed an operation on King Constantine, removing the tenth rib. Extension of the German empire beyond the old frontiers to "secure it against future attack" was predicted by King Ludwig of Bavaria in an address before the Canal league, according to a telegram from Munich. The Prussian minister of agriculture informed the budget committee of the diet at Berlin that German troops had planted 80 per cent of the arable area of the occupied territory in Belgium and France. There has been a riotous outbreak in Ceylon by Buddhists against the Moslems, in which numerous Moslem shops were looted and many murders occurred, according to an official communication made public in London. Sarah Bernhardt is preparing to return to the stage. She has completely recovered from the operation in which her right leg was amputated above the knee and has been busy rehearsing at Andernes, near Bordeaux, France. In the maze of conflicting stories issued from the headquarters of Generals Carranza and Villa, each claiming victory in the most extravagant terms, the fact stands out that Villa seeks a conference as the way to end Mexico's internecine strife while Carranza is still determined to prosecute the issue with the sword. The passports of two American citizens living at Dresden, Leon Raines and Karl Recknagel, have been ordered revoked by the American embassy, on instructions from the State Department at Washington. The men, it is said, adversely criticized the American government in the present crisis and declared in newspaper articles that they were ashamed of their citizenship.

The provisions of the seventeenth open championship event of the Western Golf Association, to be played at Mayfield Country Club, Cleveland, Ohio, July 19 to 24, were announced in Chicago. For the fourth time in his long calgolfing career, Walter J. Travis, the Garden City veteran, won the championship title of the Metropolitan Golf Association on the Apawamis Club links, at Rye, N. Y. Porter Charlton, the American, accused of having murdered his wife at their villa at Como, Italy, in June of 1910, was declared to have been mentally responsible at the time of his wife's death. Within a week President Tip O'Neill expects to call a meeting of the Western League Club owners to decide on the question of finances, which has become an issue in the continuance of the organization's 1915 schedule. Harry G. Hawker, the English aviator, flying an eighty-horse power biplane at the army aviation grounds at Hendon, beat the British altitude record by attaining a height of 20,000 feet. The previous record was 14,500 feet. GENERAL Miss Beatrice Anita Baldwin-Turnbull, who claims she is a daughter of the famous late Lucky Baldwin, was married in Boston to Baron Andrew Vincent de Patterson. Application was made to the Federal District Court at St. Louis for the appointment of a receiver for the Knights of Honor, a fraternal organization. The application asks that the lodge be declared insolvent. It declares that on April 30 last the liabilities of the order were approximately $600,000 and the assets $400,000, leaving a deficit of $200,000. The outstanding insurance is placed at $23,000,000. The Dutch battleship Jacob Van Heemskerk arrived at Newport News, Va., from Curacao, Dutch West Indies, for repairs. Vincent Durry and Frank Touth, aviators, were in a critical condition, as a result of falling 300 feet while testing a new biplane in Chicago. After funeral services the body of Charles R. Bishop, a prominent banker of San Francisco, who died at the age of ninety-three, was shipped to Honolulu, where years ago he married Bernice Pauahl Paki, an Hawaiian princee. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In the fall of 1879, when a little group of colored folk were seeking a place for themselves to worship, it was the very kind and good Doctor Locke of Grace church who helped them get a hall in which to begin the work of an unorganized mission. In this humble way the first congregation of colored people of our church in Chicago began. In 1881 Rev. James Thompson was appointed as their first colored priest in charge. In 1883, largely through the munificence of Mr. and Mrs. Tolman Wheeler, St. Thomas' church was built on South Dearborn near Thirtieth street. Mr. Thompson was a man of rare good judgment and affability, and when he retired, in 1896, was succeeded by Rev. A. H. Lealted. Mr. Lealted did faithful work for nine years, and when he left in 1905 there were three hundred communicants in St. Thomas'. The present priest in charge, Rev. J. B. Massiah, came to Chicago from Detroit in 1906, and found a loyal congregation which had grown too large for its quarters on Dearborn street. Mr. Massiah's first plan, which Bishop Anderson heartily endorsed, was to get a building that would meet the demands of the growing ingress of the colored people into Chicago from the South. Just a year after Mr. Massiah's coming the present church building at Wabash avenue and Thirty-eighth street was bought from the Calvary Baptist congregation for $20,000. Since then the gains made by this congregation of colored people, all of whom are poor, have been remarkable. Very large confirmation classes have been presented during the last eight years, the aggregate being 631 persons, or an average of nearly 80 persons a year. The number confirmed by Bishop Anderson at his last visitation was 101. The communicants have increased to 900; the Sunday school has an enrollment of 250; the guild has 150 members in its different departments. Few churches have a larger contributing list in proportion to the size of the congregation than this church. The current demands are promptly met, the church is kept in splendid condition, and generous contributions made to missions. There are 70,000 colored persons in Chicago, and St. Thomas' is the only church of our communion to minister to this large and ever growing number. The total present indebtedness on the church property is $9,500, and this sum must be raised by May 1. The Church League for Colored Work in the diocese is acting as the agent for the board of missions in asking aid for the work. In commending the work of the league to the public, Bishop Anderson refers to the needs of the colored people, and of the efforts being made at St. Thomas' to meet them, and says: "It will be seen that this church is not only a beneficiary of missionary enterprise, but also a contributor towards it. They have done well. Let us help those who have shown a willingness and ability to help themselves." Contributions may be sent to the treasurer, Mr. E. P. Bailey, Chicago Savings bank; or to Rev. J. B. Massiah, 3317 Wabash avenue. --- The American sewing machine, oil and tobacco companies that have successfully entered the Chinese market have agents all through the interior. The sewing machine company has even established schools in which Chinese women are taught to embroider on machines. The Negroes are making progress, probably faster than is realized by themselves or their white fellow citizens. A bulletin recently issued by the United States census bureau shows notable advance in many ways. The bulletin itself is the work of Negroes. The Negro population in 1790 was 757,208, or 19.3 per cent of the total population of the nation. In 1910 the Negro population was 9,827,763, or 10.7 per cent of the total. The increase has not kept pace, in proportion, with the white growth, for the reason that so many millions of the latter races have come in by immigration. There has been gratifying growth in religious organization and profession. In 1906 there were 36,770 Negro church organizations with 3,685,097 communicants or members. Between 1890 and 1906 the number of Negro church organizations increased by 56.7 per cent and the number of communicants or members by 37.8 per cent, the increase in Negro population during the same period being 26.1 per cent. As a rule gray horses live the longest and roans next. About sixty-five per cent of the Swiss Federal railways rest on steel tires. In the fiscal year ending March 14, 1914, Canada welcomed 400,000 new settlers. About one-third of the textile goods made in France is the product of female labor. More than 1,600 motorcycles have just been ordered by the Russian army from England. For the exceptional man there must always be the opportunity to rise just as far as his genius will carry him; in the second place, if a great mass of people is to be uplifted, they must have leaders of their own fitted to command because of their intellectual powers and their specially advanced training. They must have intelligent and well-taught clergymen, teachers, physicians and lawyers, to say nothing of the other professions and of the need of skilled insurance company managers, bankers, etc. These are not often to be obtained from the common schools, particularly if these schools are mere pretenses, not schools, as are so many in the southern states. This need has recently been well expressed in the first report of the general education board, where it is pointed out that if "primary and secondary Negro schools are to have good teachers, principals and supervisors, provision must be made for the higher training of these instructors and supervisors." At the same time the report points out that the "mere attempt to deliver the traditional college curriculum to the Negro does not constitute a higher education," and urges the establishment of college curricula which shall be adapted from time to time to the needs, environment, and capacity of the Negro student. With this we are in the main heartily agreed, and in so far as the opposition to the higher education of the Negro is based on a belief that subjects are taught him which can have no practical value for him, this program would properly meet the objection. For the exceptional man of Professor Just's type no one ought, however, to fence in any field of learning. He should be free to roam wherever he will in our choicest educational pastures. Anything else would spell folly and, what is worse, a gross national injustice which would merely have to be stated to carry its own condemnation. Whenever opposition to throwing open the doors of our educational institutions is based merely on color prejudice and a belief in another person's alleged inferiority, it most be attacked without a moment's delay. Professor Just and his peers of his race are the most effective answer to those who would go back to the educational dark ages.—New York Evening Post. E. B. Baldwin gave a formal dinner here to eleven of his father's former slaves, according to a Marshallville (Ga.) dispatch to the New York World. He himself remembers the closing days of the Confederacy. He and his brother, W. P. Baldwin, wore aprons and served as butlers. The guests, six old "mammies" and five Negro men, were ushered into the large dining room and seated at tables. The dinner had been directed by the best cook in South Georgia. W. P. Baldwin offered a prayer of thanksgiving that brought tears to the eyes of all. One of the oldest "mammies" delivered a temperance lecture, and when she sat down the sister sitting next to her said: "Shaw! I drink whisky when ebber I gits it. I went to Miss Johnson's recently and ast her for a drink and she gibs me a tumbler plumb full. If it hadn't been for manners I'd ast her fer annudder." As they said good-by the oldest of the men expressed the sentiments of the guests: "If Ef allus felt as good ez I do now, I'd nebber want to go ter hebben." "We Negroes are under a great handicap," recently declared Jesse Rees Europe, a musical composer of note. "For 'The Castle Lame Duck' I receive only one cent a copy royalty and the phonograph royalties in like proportion. A white man would receive from six to twelve times the royalty I receive, and compositions far less popular than mine, but written by white men, gain for their composers vastly greater rewards. I have done my best to put a stop to this discrimination, but I have found that it was no use. The music world is controlled by a trust, and the Negro must submit to its demands or fail to have his compositions produced. I am not bitter about it. It is, after all, but a slight portion of the price my race must pay in its at times almost hopeless fight for a place in the sun. Some day it will be different and justice will prevail." California is unusual among the salt-producing states in that the great bulk of her salt comes from sea water, being obtained by solar evaporation on San Francisco bay, near Long Beach and near San Diego. Many of the Arabian peasant population of Palestine have emigrated to North and South America, and the Mohammedan population from the environs of Jerusalem is beginning to emigrate. The lack of suitable employment is the cause of this exodus. The noted Order of the Golden Fleece is a military one instituted by Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, in 1429, on the occasion of his marriage with the Portuguese Princess Isabella. The order now belongs to both Spain and Austria.

The inclement weather naturally reduced the attendance last week, but in spite of it two splendid services were enjoyed. Dr. George Maney, state missionary for Washington, was our visitor and preached an instructive and enjoyable sermon. In the evening Dr. John Adams, A.M. E. pastor at Pueblo, was present and gave a very helpful message. The congregation greatly enjoyed the visits of these good men and hopes that each will return. The State Federation of Women's Clubs met at the church this week. A large number of the ladies were in attendance and a splendid meeting was enjoyed. The work of this organization showed progress along all lines and occasioned much in the way of inspiration to all race lovers who were in attendance. The week of June 20th to 27th will witness the meeting of the Western Baptist Association at Pueblo. All the Baptist churches of the state will send messengers to the meeting. We are expecting a record gathering both in attendance and missionary offerings. An unusually helpful programme has been prepared and it is certain that those who attend will find the meeting very much worth while. --- --- I got down to business, the eyes of all and a greater Denver.

But if it can succeed only in the tests arranged for younger children, it is backward. A child of three should be able to comprehend spoken words and to answer simple questions by a gesture. Ask a child of three, Where are your eyes? and it should immediately point to them. A child of three should be able to repeat sentences of six syllables, but not ten. Figures, being more difficult than words because they do not convey any meaning to a child of three, are limited in the test to two, such as 6-4. When shown the pictures which Binet uses in his tests, a child of three will enumerate the objects; it is not possible for him to describe any of the action in the pictures. At four years a child should know whether it is a boy or a girl, but at three it would not be able to make the distinction. At four a child should be able to repeat three figures, be able to tell which is the longer of two parallel lines, and be able to name familiar objects when they are displayed. Among the tests at five years of age is the comparison of weights. A five-year-old child is able to tell which is the heavier of two blocks equal in size and appearance but different in weight. At five all children succeed in counting four. At three no child can count four, and at four only about 50 per cent of the children tested have been able to do so. At six years a child should distinguish between morning and afternoon, should be able to define known objects and execute three simultaneous commissions. At six Binet believes that a child's esthetic perception is sufficiently developed for it to differentiate between beauty and ugliness. For this test Binet employs a picture of six heads of women in three pairs, one of which is pretty and the other ugly or actually deformed. At seven a child should be able to count 13 pennies; describe the pictures used in the test for three-year mentalities, instead of simply enumerating the objects; point out what is lacking in unfinished pictures and name four colors. time too short for them, are more common phenomena. The breathless hurry of modern life does not conduce to peaceful contemplation and is responsible for the mental restlessness that distinguishes a large number of men and women. Inability to concentrate the mind, a flitting from subject to subject, with a deep interest in none, a constant search for excitement, are marks peculiar to them. They do not always, nor often, know what the real difficulty is, and if they do realize that something is wrong, will not know what is the remedy. Yet it is ever at hand and simply means a little determination and self-control. The man who snaps at his wife and children, his office boy or anyone near at hand whom he is not afraid of, is not excusable because he is tired or overstrained. His state of mind is none the better for this manifestation of petulance. The same is true of the woman who flies into a tantrum at the smallest provocation, slaps her children, scolds her husband and makes herself generally disagreeable. Of course she is "nervous," but her nerves are not helped by such outbursts. The cure is sometimes more work, a healthy interest in life—this in the case of women rather than men. but the race for pleasure now going on everywhere will weaken the intellectual force of the people and undermine their nobler spirit. The current amusement is sensual, not possibly in the low meaning, but it is not intellectual or spiritual. It is nearly all for appetite, show, excitement. There is very little true conversation. Men's minds are on the trivial episodes of sport and politics; women's on fashion and society. Four-fifths of the reading is shallow. It doesn't make better men or women; it makes worse. What is needed to confront this situation are earnest men and women, who take some interest in serious things, who read good books and talk sense and patronize the best.

In a community having a labor dispute the general public, the principal sufferer, is entitled to relief which will relieve. The people have long waited for legislative bodies to remedy the evil. The judiciary also is apparently derelict. Why not, therefore, as an experiment, have the executive head of the community try his hand? Since the public is primarily the most interested party, he might be empowered to say to both sides: "Unless you adjust your difficulties at once I shall appoint an arbitration board. I shall give each side an opportunity to name one member, and I, or someone named by me, shall be the third. This board shall meet at once and determine the controversy as seems just, and when that decision is made I shall see to it that it is enforced." This is the way all other disputes are settled, and labor disputes have no greater rights than any other. Therefore, once a responsible tribunal determines them, then, by force if necessary, its judgment should be made to stand. Determine Mental Status of Children By A. M.

First Requisite Is That He Shall Be Comfortable at All Times—Food Clothing and Bathing All Highly Important. Prepared by the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor. The long, hot days of summer are trying to people of all ages, but are particularly hard on the young baby. He is more liable to illness, especially to diarrhea, at this time, because he is weakened by the heat and in a condition where he is easily upset. The object for which the mother must work in summer is to make the baby comfortable, for a comfortable baby is one who is well. To make the baby comfortable it is necessary to consider how he should be fed, clothed and bathed; how to keep him cool and give him plenty of sleep; how to deal with prickly heat and other similar troubles, and, most of all, many times, what not to do. A baby who is fed regularly with the right kind of food and no other kind, except plenty of cool water to drink; who wears little or no clothing during the hot hours of the day and night; who is kept clean with plenty of baths; who sleeps in a cool, quiet room, screened from flies and mosquitoes; who is handled very little and is allowed to live a quiet, regular life, will usually be a healthy one. A healthy child makes a healthy grown person, and every stone laid in the foundation of a sound and normal baby is just so much for the child to build upon in the future. Nothing is so necessary to the health of a young baby as breast milk. This is the food nature intended him to have and on which he will nearly always thrive. Any other food, however good the milk and however well prepared, cannot take the place of good breast milk, and no mother who loves her baby will be willing to deprive him of this boon until she has tried in every way to keep it for him. This is true at all seasons of the year, but it is especially true in summer, when it is so hard to keep cow's milk pure and sweet. Unless cow's milk has been milked from clean, healthy cows, by clean milkers, into pails that have been scalded with boiling water; unless it has been cooled at once and kept cold until the food is made ready, it is not fit for a baby. Milk which is dirty when it comes from the cows, or clean milk which is left to stand about in open dishes, in a warm room, exposed to flies and dust, should never be used for the baby. If, as sometimes happens, the mother does not have milk enough for her baby, she will need to add to it by one or more bottle-feedings during the day. In such a case every effort must be made to get clean milk, to keep it cool and prepare it in the right way. In order that the mother may nurse her baby successfully she should begin about two months before the baby is born to take care of the nipples, washing them every day in warm water and a mild soap, like castile, and, after drying them thoroughly, rub them gently with vaseline, olive oil, or some other softening application. When the baby is about six hours old he may be put to the breast, and then at six-hour intervals for the first day or two, until the mother's milk "comes." After that he should be nursed every three hours from six o'clock in the morning until nine in the evening, nursing him regularly, by the clock. For the first three months he will need a night feeding, but after four months he should sleep through the night without nursing. When the baby is six months old the mother should begin to lengthen the interval between feedings a quarter of an hour each week until the length of time between nursings is four hours. The baby needs no other food than breast milk, except plenty of good drinking water (which has first been boiled and cooled) for the first eight or nine months. The nursing mother should have plenty of good food. All good food is milk-making food. What is important is that it should please the mother's taste, tempt her appetite and cause her no headache, coated tongue or gas on the stomach or bowels. If the mother is well, the baby is pretty sure to be well. Among the things that most nursing mothers will digest well and thrive on are fresh vegetables, nourishing soups, good bread and butter, milk—sweet milk and butter milk—eggs, meat, fish, poultry and fruits raw and cooked. Some of the things that may give her indigestion are heavy puddings, underdone cereals, dumplings, too-fresh bread and biscuit, pastries, or a lack of fresh vegetables and fruit from the diet. It is better to cut down the allowance of tea and coffee* to one cupful of each a day. Plenty of good drinking water is need ed and it is a good plan for the mother to have milk between meals and at bedtime. The nursing mother should have plenty of sleep at night, and should learn to relax and rest whenever the baby nurses throughout the day. As far as possible she should be relieved of the heaviest part of the household work, because if she is tired and worn the baby will not thrive as he should, as the mother's food has had to go to supply her own needs and her milk has been deprived of some of its nourishing qualities. It's easier to win a girl's hand than it is to eat her bread.

By H. M. EGBERT (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) Cyrus Vane stood in the laboratory of the hospital, watching his test tubes. The little colonies that were spreading upon the gelatine meant that the new bacillus could be developed in an ordinary medium. With this he planned to do what science had hitherto failed in doing. He hoped to cure infantile paralysis, and convert what was a scourge into a mild illness merely. For six weeks he had devoted his time to this alone. Meanwhile the scourge had fastened itself upon the town. Children were dying. It had never been checked. What a boon the new antitoxin, prepared from the bacillus, would be! Vane was sure of it. He had injected it into apes and watched them recover from artificially induced pestilence. He had tested the serum in every possible way. Why, then, could he not give it to the world? That question is often asked by those who are impatient for new remedies. The answer is that, before the conservative physician will make public his achievements it is necessary for the proof to have been piled up in at least a thousand experimental cases. In short, all over the country physicians were trying out Vane's discovery, on monkeys, on apes, and perhaps here and there on children who were in the grip of the disease and could not have been harmed by the serum, even if it failed to benefit them. But until the results of the thousand cases were known, the serum could not be made public property. Vane had said as much to the wretched women who, having heard rumors of his discovery; grovelled before him that morning, imploring the serum for their children. He had almost forced them away. He walked thoughtfully homeward. The wide street was almost empty, only a few storekeepers sat under A man and a woman stand in a bedroom, the woman adjusting the man's suit. A child lies in bed behind them. She Read the Verdict in His Eyes. their awnings, gasping in the heat. Here and there was a knot of white crepe upon the handle of a door. Vane fancied that the eyes of the townspeople followed him a little maliciously. He was within a block of his house when a woman rushed out at him from an open door on whose handle the familiar knot of crepe hung. "Doctor Vane—you will save my Freddy!" she cried, clutching at his arm. "One gone—I asked you this morning, you remember. I have only one more, and he has the disease. You won't leave me childless, doctor?" "I can do nothing for you, madam," replied the doctor sternly. The woman cried and clawed convulsively at his sleeve. "You don't understand. Listen, doctor. My second little boy is dying. I know you say it isn't etiquette to give out the serum, but won't you forget about the etiquette and save my son's life?" Cyrus Vane was not a hard-hearted man. He stood up rather stiffly and nerved himself with difficulty for his answer. "I can't help you, madam," he said. "My work is for the good of humanity and selfish personal reasons must be forgotten. I am only at liberty to think of the race. If I stopped to consider persons I should never have the strength to go through with my work." The woman was looking desperately into his face. "I don't know what you mean, doctor, but will you let my second baby die?" she asked. "I am trying to explain," said Doctor Vane. "that these things have to be done in an orderly manner. It is useless to ask me to make exceptions in single cases. I—" The woman shrieked. "My God, doctor, are you going to let my second die?" she cried. Vane detached himself. He had long ago hardened his mind against such scenes, such emotions. In the struggle fo. the race thousands fell. He turned and walked onward. He heard a man's curse follow him. He turned down a side street toward his own comfortable house. Vane idolized his wife and child. It was their only one, and there was not likely to be another. His birth had almost cost his wife her life. The little boy, seven years old, always ran to meet his father on his return to be taken up in his arms and kissed and petted. Today the boy was nowhere about. He was wont to watch for his father from the steps of the house. But he was not on the steps, nor playing in the hall when Vane let himself in with his key. Instead, a troubled woman came toward him. "Cyrus, you must come to see Dicky at once," she said. "I put him to bed; he has been feverish all day, and—Oh, Cyrus, he can't move his right arm." Frantically Vane bounded up the stairs. He rushed into the bedroom in which the little boy was lying. One glance at his face, and he flung himself down beside the bed in an agony of grief. He rose to face his wife, who had followed him. She read the verdict in his eyes. She screamed and caught at his arm just as the woman in the street had done. "Cyrus! What is it? It isn't—?" "Yes," he said, bowing his head. "But it isn't the worst thing that could befall him," he added. "Many children make a complete recovery from it; some, of course, are crippled, but—" "Cyrus! What are you talking about? Only last night you were telling me that you have discovered an absolute cure. You said there was not the slightest doubt about it." "Then how can you speak of cripples in connection with Dicky? Have you got the antitoxin with you or must you go back to the laboratory. Oh, there must be no delay." The man looked into her face be wildered. Had he never told her? Hadn't she understood? "I can't use it, Dorothy," he moaned, sinking into a chair. "You mean it isn't for use?" You mean it isn't for use: "Yes. But it has to be proved. It has to justify its use in a thousand cases. Humanly I am sure, but moreally I am not justified until I am scientifically sure—" She was shaking him by the arm as he stammered out his explanation "Cyrus! What are you talking about? Don't you see that Dicky has infantile paralysis, and don't you know that this is not the time to argue? Get the serum!" "Listen, Dorothy," said Cyrus Vane rising and going up to her. "Try to understand me. A doctor may not think of persons. He works only for the race. Today a poor woman askes me for some of the serum for her child. I refused. It was dying, and i died later. She caught me by the arm in the street and asked me to save her other child. I refused—" "You refused? My God, are you going to let Dicky die?" They were face to face with the is sue now, and he saw that there was no relenting upon her own. Relent: He might as well have argued with a stone. From the bed came a feeble wall. Vane started and turned toward it. "I'm so hot!" wailed the boy. "And I can't raise my right arm, daddy." The man's face was working convulsively. His wife caught him by the hands; she sank to her knees and pleaded wildly with him. "You're going to murder Dicky for science, then?" she asked. "No, Cyrus, you can't. Don't you see how brutal it is? If science demands that it is a devil. You must save him—" At that moment there came the sounds of altercation outside. A struggle, the door was burst open, and the woman who had pleaded with Vane in the street appeared, breaking away from the butler, who tried to hold her. "Doctor Vane!" she cried, flinging herself upon her knees also and extending her hands. "My boy is dying You can save him. You are going to save him—you must. Otherwise you will carry the brand of Cain on your forehead for the whole of your life." Vane looked haggardly at the two women, then at the child on the bed "If I do this my professional future is sacrificed," he said. "I am out of the ranks of the experimenters. Nobody will have faith in me. It is a breach of duty. I—I—" "Daddy, won't you please make me well?" pleaded the childish voice. Vane hesitated a moment longer; then bowed his head and hurried from the room. He knew that the cry of his blood had proved more potent than duty. He knew that his work was ended. He had played false with science. But he knew that at least two women would bless his name as long as they were alive. Use for Cocoanut Water. The discovery has just been made at Colombo that cocoanut water, which has always been considered a useless waste product, is an excellent rubber coagulant. Millions of gallons of cocoanut water allowed to run to waste on estates can now be made use of at a good profit. The cocoanut water is allowed to ferment for four or five days, after which it can be used without further delay as coagulating latex. One to two ounces of the fermented cocoanut water is allowed to coagulate one pint of the pure latex. This is said to produce a fine rubber, superior to that procured with the use of crude acetic acid. The color of the rubber with acetic acid fermentation is decidedly inferior to the cocoanut water fermentation. TO PROBE WIRE RATES BRITISH LOSSES HEARING ON RATES AND SERVICE ET FOR JAN. 3, 1916. State Public Utilities. Commission Cites Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company. Denver.—The State Public Utilities Commission ordered a sweeping investigation of telephone rates and service throughout Colorado. In accordance with its action a complaint was filed with the commission on its own initiation calling upon the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company to appear before the commission to answer any and all charges that might be made. The date for the hearing was set as Jan. 3, 1916. In accord with the intention of the commission to make the probe of telephone conditions as complete and beneficial as possible the engineer for the board, Daniel Hooker, formerly construction engineer for the Colorado'& Southern railroad, will start at once to make an appraisement of the holdings of the telephone company. At the same time the expert electrical engineer for the state body, Fred Rankin, also will begin an investigation. The statistician, Fred W. Herbert, rate expert E. M. Neal and the various inspectors of the commission will help in the examination of the books and properties of the telephone corporation. The hearing date is set several months ahead so the telephone company will have ample time to present their side of the case and so that each community in the state which has a grievance may come forward with proper data. It also is the desire of the commission to handle the matter in such a way that when the final adjustment is made the state of Colorado will have a model telephone service and charges equitable to all. Scenery to Save $250,000,000 a Year Scenary to save $200,000,000 a year. Denver. — County commissioners, city officials, representatives of commercial organizations and state officials heard Mark Daniels, general superintendent of national parks, outline his ideas for making the scenic beauties of Colorado available to tourists at a luncheon in Denver. After outlining his plan, he said, among other things: "Heretofore development of scenic attractions in this country has been in response to demands of the idealist and nature lover. Now it is an economic problem to retain at home $250,000,000 that goes abroad annually. The proposed Pike's peak to Longs peak park area is beyond the national park category. It is big enough to be an "international park." Only a thorough spirit of community effort and co-operation can accomplish the completion of this great project. We cannot offer the tourist any compensation for the mountain scenery of Switzerland. We have a better article to offer but lack facilities for the accommodation of the tourist. Our opportunity is at hand, for. If all reports are true, the scenery of Europe has been shot all to pieces." Ask Carlson to Stump for Suffrage. Denver. — Governor Carlson has been asked to stump New York for "votes for women." He received a letter from the Empire State campaign committee asking him to make a week's campaign for the suffragists. The letter suggests that he might give his services when he goes East to attend the national conference of governors in Boston the last of August. Governor Names New Pardon Board. Denver.—Governor Carlson appointed three new members of the State Board of Pardons, C. J. Morley of Denver, to serve until 1919. Floyd E. Dendell of Fort Morgan, to serve until 1817, and Allen Wright of Denver, to serve until 1919. He also made Dr. Z. P. Roberts of Rocky Ford a member of the state board of dental examiners. Denver-Boulder Line to Use Trailers. Denver.—As a result of the State Public Utilities Commission's recent investigation of the Denver & Interurban Railroad Company, orders were issued from the office of the commission calling for the use of trailers between Denver and Boulder when warranted by the travel. Fruit Rate Hearing Set for June 14. Denver.—Hearing in the freight rate and refrigeration case of the Grand Valley Freight Rate Association against the Denver & Rio Grande, the Colorado & Southern and other railroads, has been set by the state public utilities commission for June 14, at the capitol. Industrial Board Names Secretary. Denver.—Adolphus Warren, formerly a Boulder contractor, has been appointed acting secretary of the State Industrial Commission. An actuary will be named at $3,000 per year. Inheritance Tax $385,000 for Year. Denver.—A total of $385,000 in inheritance taxes probably will be collected by the state government this year, according to estimates made by Leslie E. Hubbard, state inheritance tax appraiser. This will excel the record of any past*year's collections. In 1914 $326,000 was collected. So far this year Appraiser Hubbard and his force have collected $101,260. It is estimated that in the next six months they will collect $285,000 from other estates upon which action still remains to be taken.

Do You Know That— The COLORADO STATESMAN IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING If you are looking for an afternoon gown that will do service for almost any of the semidress occasions which enliven summer afternoons and evenings, and is really a triumph as a visiting toilette, combinations of silk with transparent fabrics deserve your attention. In the costume pictured here such a combination is shown, employing taffeta and chiffon with the happiest results. Voiles and laces, nets (and organdies when very sheer) suggest any number of combinations and great diversity in style. The skirt in the costume shown is made of dark blue chiffon decorated with bands of the same shade in taffeta. It is straight and round and cut to extend several inches above the waist line on to the bodice. It is shaped to the figure about the hips and waist and to the lower part of the bodice by means of cords run in narrow tucks. These are drawn up, fulling the material and forming a shirred yoke at the top of the skirt, terminating in a frill above the waist line. This skirt is worn over a plain one of taffeta.

This forms a casing to hold an elastic band or cord that is run through it, gathering the net into a cap. A rosette of satin ribbon is mounted at each side. Or, if preferred, a small cluster of chiffon roses or millinery flowers may be used. At the top of the group a cap is snow made of shadow lace over chiffon, edged with a scant ruffle of messaline ribbon about an inch wide. The --- is open at the throat and finished there with an organdie collar decorated with a little fine embroidery. The sleeves are elaborated with a band of taffetta above the elbow, fastened down with silk-covered buttons. But the touch of distinction which first catches the eye is the belt and hanging end of silk, decorated with an embroidered pattern of the smallest beads in many brilliant but har monizing colors. They are put on with the intent of reminding one of the beadwork of the Indians, and are astonishingly effective. One may count upon a thrill of patriotism as a part of the satisfaction in wearing this gown, not simply because it is made of American fabrics, but because its decoration is an inspiration born in our own land.

At the front two triangular pieces are set on to form the turned-back points shown in the picture. These are about five inches deep. A short elastic cord is inserted in a casing across the back. and the fullness at the front of the cap is caught in the plain edges of the two-pointed pieces. Full rosettes of four-inch satin ribbon, with two ends, decorate this model at each side and finish a cap that is unusually be coming. The third cap shown is made of a wide shadow lace, edged about the front with a narrow lace of the same kind. The scalloped edge of the wide lace forms a cape falling to the shoulders, and the narrower lace makes a frill falling about the face. An elastic band adjusts this cap also, and messaline ribbon, caught at intervals about the face, is finished with loops and hanging ends at the back. Until you have experimented with different models in these pretty bits of feminine finery you will not know how becoming some of them are Moreover, they are made of American laces, the filmiest and softest product of the looms that turn cotton fiber into fabrics to wonder at.
