PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY DOES LY ING DIE DR. LOUIS EDELMAN WRITES TIGATIONS OF MORE THAN SOUTH WHICH HE DEN DOES LYNCH- ING DIMINISH CRIME? DR. LOUIS EDELMAN WRITES FROM PERSONAL INVESTIGATIONS OF MORE THAN 2000 LYNCHINGS IN THE SOUTH WHICH HE DENOTES IS REFLECTION ON THE WHITE MAN. Dr. Louis Edelman, the well known eye, ear and nose specialist, who is without doubt one of the most liberal minded Southern men, and who is known throughout the county as the friend of humanity, has written a letter touching upon lynching in the south, which letter was prompted largely by recent editorials in The Birmingham Ledger on the lynching evil. Dr. Edelman's letter is published here in part, as follows: "When human beings lived like savages, roaming wild, looking for prey, their one defense was their strength. Then, perhaps, the murder of a fellow man for self-protection was justifiable; but when people begin to live in groups, they were forced by necessity to rules and regulations for self-protection. There could not have been one law for one party, and another law for another party. "If a small number of people without the process of the law, will take the life of a criminal for committing even the unspeakable crime for which they may be justiable, we will soon drift back to barbarism and take life without a process of law for other crimes, real or imaginary. For twenty years or more I have collected statistics of lynchings and have investigated many of them in person and from all investigations and observations, and from evidences given by the best people in the community, there has hardly been a single case of justifiable lynching. In the number of 2531 lynchings I have investigated, only 22 per cent were guilty of the crime for which lynching is declared to be justifiable, and of the whole amount 3 per cent were proven guilty beyond doubt. Of 703 cases of lynchings personally investigated, 269 were charged with rape, 253 with murder, 44 with robbery, 37 incendiarism, 4 with burglary, 27 with race prejudice, 13 quarreled with white men, 10 making threats, 7 with rioting, 6 with miscegenation. In 32 cases no reasons were given. Of the 269 charged with --- VOL. XX1. ```markdown ``` rape, only 8 were proven guilty beyond any doubt. Of 14 Negroes burned at the stake, only 6 were charged with the unspeakable crime. In order to make it clear here, I give to you 13 lynchings which happened in 1910. One was lynched for peeping through a window; one for sueing his white neighbor for killing his cow, two for murder; one for trying to save his brother; one for cutting several people; one for beating and robbing an aged man; one for striking a town marshal; one for running around town with a shot gun; one Negro was burned at stake for killing a constable. "In order to be more explicit and plain, I will cite two cases In Clarkdale, Miss., two Negroes were sitting in a cabin playing cards. Two officers went to arrest them. One officer who was drunk, pulled his pistol and accidently shot his brother officer. The alarm was given that one of the Negroes had killed the officer. The name of the Negro was Nathan McDaniels. He escaped on a mule loaned to him by his brother Hiram. Hiram was lynched in the presence of his neighbors and in the streets of Clarksdale, Miss., a little boy and a woman were shot down and killed in the stampede. "I could give and should give 2000 examples of lynching, but what is the use? Does lynching help to diminish crime? I say No, it never has, and it never will. It is a reflection upon the white man who is the superior of the Negro and who makes and executes the law that he should not abide by the law. OHIO'S GOVERNOR APPROVES DECISION Columbus, O., June 29.—Thus far Governor Frank B. Willis of this state appears to be the only state executive who has expressed himself concerning the decision rendered by the Federal Supreme Court on the Oklahoma election law. In keeping with his well known State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ANTS WHO ADC E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO TS WHO A VER COLORADO SATU attitude against every conceivable form of race discrimination, he promptly gave to the press his views respecting the Supreme Courts's decision. There is no mistaking his stand on the race question by any one who reads his statement, even if they have not been familiar with his strong defense of the race since, and before becoming Governor of Ohio. Said Governor Willis: The decision of the United States Supreme Court against the "grandfather" clause in the laws of Oklahoma, and in the Maryland case, is one of the most important and far reaching in years. It is a vindication of the principle that in this country a citizen's worth is to be measured by his own merit, and not by the qualifications of his grandfather. The principle of the "grandfather" clause was un-American, unfair and altogether out of harmony with the spirit of our institutions. The law should encourage every citizen without regard to race or color to improve his own condition, not dampen and kill his energy and ambition by applying a rule of recognition as arbitrary and indefensible as ever stained the pages of the history of hereditary feudalism in the dark ages. The Fifteenth Amendment meant what it said when it proclaimed that the right to vote should not be denied on account of race or color or previous condition of servitude. This Amendment does not prohibit a fair educational qualification applicable to all races alike, but it does prohibit unfair discrimination between races. The decision of the Supreme Court will be hailed with satisfaction by every person who believes in a fair chance to all.

Three Hundred Delegates From South Acknowledge Brotherhood With Black Race. Chicago, July 8.—Moved by stirring speeches of men prominent in church and business life of the South. 300 Southern men and women, delegates to the World's Christian Endeavor convention, in session here today, openly acknowledged brotherhood with the Negro race and determined to extend it the right hand of fellowship. Out of this idea is to grow the Southern extension committee' of the Christian Endeavor, which the Rev. Ira Landrith of Nashville, Tenn., calls the beginning of the interdenomination union of the Negro race. Plans to Help Blacks "We are going to get behind the Negro problem," declared Dr Landrith. "We are going to take the Christian Endeavor work into the Negro churches, organize new societies, extend it, and help millions of blacks to enlightenment. "God has placed at our door the greatest opportunity for Christian work that ever came to any missionary anywhere. We cannot dodge the Negro question if we would, and we would not be worthy of Him we serve if we would dodge it if we could. We will fight until we are above the criticism of the unselfish; we can ignore the criticism of the indifferent and the unintelligent." John W. E. Bowen, Jr., of Georgia, has been awarded a fellowship of the American University, being one of the five Board of Awards during the commencement week of the University. The fellowship pays $400 annually and Mr. Bowen will continue his study in American history at Harvard University. William A. Pledger, son of the late Col. W. A. Pleger of Georgia, has enlisted in the English army and is fighting with the allies in France. He served in the U. S. army in Cuba and the Phillippines. Mr. Pledger enlisted at Cardiff, Wales. It is said that forty-five Afro-Americans are in his company and more are going. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Philadelphia. Pa., June 30.—Not knowing whether his son, James W. Henderson was alive or dead, the Rev. Thomas W. Henderson, former manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern, declared in his will that, "he has for years neglected me and his mother," and so left him only good-will and prayers. Dr. Henderson's estate, which goes in its entirety to his widow, is estimated at $5,000. Lordsburg, New Mexico, is the individual who received the invitation from the executive. When Captain Mix, of Nogales, who has charge of the party, discovered that Turner was of the colored race and had already engaged a berth to accompany the delegation, he went up in the air and yesterday made a protest to the governor. The latter professed that he was unaware of Turner's race and he hedged Philadelphia, Pa., June 30. Daniel Riffan, a West Indian, who had stowed away on the steamer Rochelle, arriving here from the West Indies, was afraid of deportation and attempted to slip into the country by slipping overboard from the vessel and swimming ashore at a point off the lower part of the city. He was accompanied by Luther Read, another West Indian. Riffan and Read were unable to reach the shore and Riffan was drowned before he could be rescued. Read was taken from the water by the crew on the Government tug Vidette, and will be deported just as he feared. Howard Smith of Camden, N.J., at the risk of his own life, recently dived overboard and saved the life of a horse by releasing the animal from a wagon to which it was attached. Smith is employed by Charles I. Adkins, a contracting teamster of 434 Davision street, Camden. He went to the Spruce street wharf with a dump cart, which was backed to the water's edge and before he could block the wheel of the vehicle it went overboard, taking the horse with it. Losing no time, Smith dived overboard and finally released the traces, and horse and master arose to the surface. Smith managed to climb back on the warf, while the horse floundered about on the surface of the water, and after some difficulty the animal was landed on the wharf. Thus again a member of our race in New Jersey performs a noble deed. Phoenix, Ariz, June 14.—That Governor Hunt had appointed a Negro as one of the delegation of citizens to represent the state at the launching of the battleship Arizona, is the news which leaked out today and which is the main object of conversation in the hotel lobbies and the cause of intense indignation among southern Democrats. Tom Turner, a colored porter on the Arizona and New Mexico railroad, running into NO 47 Lordsburg, New Mexico, is the individual who received the invitation from the executive. When Captain Mix, of Nogales, who has charge of the party, discovered that Turner was of the colored race and had already engaged a berth to accompany the delegation, he went up in the air and yesterday made a protest to the governor. The latter professed that he was unaware of Turner's race and he hedged with the declaration that the invitation must have been meant for a different Turner. However, it was too late too mend matters, and the porter was told that he must go on a different train. Incidentally, Senator Goldwater and some of his colleagues pulled off a stunt by hiring a band to be present at the departure of the special with instructions to play for the benefit of the governor as the train pulled out: "We Don't Care If You Never Come Back." Boston, Mass., June 30.—In the Boston Evening Transcrip of Tuesday, June 22, report is made of the graduation of 113 students of the Phillips Exeter Academy, located at Exeter, N. H., and also of the prize awards for the year. Emmett J. Scott, Jr., of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., is reported in the prize awards for the year, as having won a First National Gordon Prize of $20.00 for proficiency in knowledge of the Bible; is also listed as an honor man of the second group, being one of the only five students of his class who is listed for such honors having maintained a yearly average of a Grade B, and also received honorable mention, having received Grade A in certain studies during the whole of the year. In the scholarship awards published by the Academy in the Transcript some weeks ago, young Scott was listed as having won a Phillips Scholarship award of $100.00 and a Kingsman Scholarship award of $80.00. Mr. Scott is the only colored Student this year attending Phillips Exeter Academy. He last year received his diploma from Tuskegee Institute, having finished the academic course of study and that of the machine shop division. He is being prepared for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the oldest son of the widely-known Emmett J. Scott, for many years secretary of Tuskegee Institute and right-hand man of Principal Booker T. Washington. Young Scott, therefore, is a veritable "chip off the old block."

Colorado We Make Old Hats New AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The question of the education of the Negro has always been one of deep concern to the South, and is particularly interesting with the illiteracy campaign in progress, the Negro being such a factor in bringing down the literacy in this state. Therefore the work of the Industrial high school of this city is a matter of great moment, writes Mrs. Sidney M. Ullman in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. This splendid institution, under the direct influence of the board of education and Doctor Phillips' supervision, and with the able leadership of Prof. A. H. Parker, has become a factor in the city school life and an asset to the community. The principal of this school is a direct product of the public schools of Birmingham, raised and educated in this city, a man of great brains and heart, and regarded as one of the leading Negro citizens, not only of Birmingham, but of Alabama. Professor Parker impresses one immediately with his earnestness, and you feel how serious is the undertaking of this man and in what able hands the work has been placed. Housed in an unattractive, old, ramshackle building with unspeakable surroundings, as far as comfort and equipment for school purposes is concerned, this work goes on progressing, assisting hundreds of young Negro men and women, reaching into the family life, making better citizens of them and fitting each for the problem peculiar to themselves. The Industrial high school is situated on Eighth avenue near Eleventh street. The building was originally erected by a man named Lane, for an auditorium to display and conduct his art of medicine quackery, for Lane was an Indian medicine man. How the ugly, unattractive, old building ever lasted 20 years is almost inconceivable; however, it has lasted, stood all of these years, to at last become useful as the home of this splendid school. The building contains every modern idea along vocational lines in school development, some still crude, almost always because of lack of funds, but all carried out to some degree of perfection, and serving their purpose well. These departments are under the direction of trained teachers, well equipped in their professions. The spirit and work of the school can best be judged from the essay of Franklin Irene Davis, a graduate of the school this term. This paper is not selected only as descriptive of the school, but also as a sample of the remarkable work done in the school. In the spring of 1913 the mothers and teachers, seeing the need of a more inexpensive method of dressing our girls, together decided upon the adoption of a uniform. Permission was obtained to enforce it and the next fall saw us donning simple dark dresses now familiarly known as "high school blues," relieved by white cuffs and collars. Besides these dresses came the rules permitting only one finger ring, no bracelets, no lockets, and no jewelry of any kind save a simple pin securing the collar. No silk hose can now be seen, and our color scheme has been reduced to black, white and blue. Its effects have been many, the greatest among them being the money saving; for a girl's supply of school dresses has been reduced to two per year, which only cost from 45 cents to $1.05 each, according to the size of the girl and Lafecadio Hearn held that the term "Negro melodies" is a misnomer. He traced all Negro songs back to English, Spanish and particularly French sources. The old ballads of these people which were in vogue at the time of settling in America were adapted, transformed, Africanized by the Negro slaves, and preserved in their new form long after the originals were forgotten. Doubtless Hearn's theory is correct in essentials, but it has one defect. It does not give full credit to the Negro element in these tunes as they exist now. If the Negroes had not been a musical race, they never would have taken over and finally made their own the music of their masters. The Indians, a far more stiff-necked and independent race than the Africans, have no such group of songs to their credit, not even where they form an overwhelming majority of the population. Mexican bands do not play Aztec music, and it is not of record that Peruvian audiences listen to Quichua variations on Spanish airs. The National Negro Business league will celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of its organization by holding a convention in Boston, August 18 to 20. Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee institute, who also is head of the organization, will preside. Gains made by the Negro race since the founding of the organization will be discussed. In 1900 there were 20,000 Negro business enterprises, and the number now has increased to 45,000. The total value of property owned by Negroes in the country is estimated at nearly $2,000,000,000. the season of the year. What a difference between this and former times when so many more dresses were thought necessary and did not look half so well as our simple dark blues with neat collars and cuffs. No longer do we envy those who wear better clothes than ours. Less time is spent in worrying over what to wear, consequently tardiness has been greatly reduced. We have also learned that good taste demands simplicity and so the jewelry not permitted during school days is often forgotten during Sundays. After becoming accustomed to our uniforms we are not so prone to rival the rainbow in choosing colors for other occasions. For all of these lessons we are grateful to our school. "Save the boy, and it will not be necessary to reform the man," was the keynote of the addresses delivered in the National Negro Baptist Sunday school congress at Washington, and resulted in an organized effort among the boys against loafers, crime and criminality, and a declaration on the part of boys representing 15 states to assist the officers of the law in preserving law and order. "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?" was used to open one of the busiest sessions of the meeting of the congress, and many new features looking toward the betterment of the home life of the Negro race throughout the country were introduced through addresses. Starting with the cadet movement, under Dr. W. H. Crawford, with 300 boys in uniform, making a demonstration, brought out many Negro boys of Birmingham, who made application for membership, but were told they would have to come in through the Sunday school. "These boys will be of benefit to communities in which they live," said Doctor Crawford. "They will work against cigarette smoking, tobacco chewing, and will be opposed to strong drink. You will find in these places where the cadets are there will be fewer arrests of boys, and stronger men will be developed. That shiftless, loafing criminal Negro will become a thing of the past. The Sunday school movement means this or nothing. We are going to do practical Sunday school work in the future." "Man's Part in Life's Choice," was the subject of the Bible lesson taught by Dr. E. Ford of Jacksonville. "With a common God there can be no misunderstanding between two men or two races," declared Prof. A. M. Tarwick, international secretary of the Young Men's Christian association, one of the instructors in the Methodist institute, conducted by the Methodist Episcopal church, South, for the Negro Methodist ministers. "I want to here congratulate you upon the wonderful progress you have made, and that you are still making. This movement means much to your people. You have strong men here, and you are to be congratulated." In a costly watch that has been made for exhibition purposes there is a wheel that makes the revolution only once in four years, operating a dial that shows the years, months and days. It's easy to gauge a man's intelligence. Draw him into a discussion, and if he agrees with you he's sensible. The superintendent of education in Russell county, Alabama, conceived the enlightened thought that the Negro would be less a menace to the community if he were educated. He called a meeting of the white folks in the courthouse and tactfully asked them if they would be pleased to hear addresses from three educated colored persons. They agreed to listen and two Negro teachers and a Negro editor from Tuskegee presented the gospel of education for usefulness for which that institution is famous. The white folks were persuaded. They thereupon decided to add to the schools of Russell county a plan of industrial training, not only for colored children, but for their own white children as well. Buck Kilby, who is one of the Noble Red Man's stanchest defenders, says it can at least be said for the Indian that he never tries to "make" conservation. An electrically heated incubator for the production of bacteria has been developed by a Salt Lake City scientist. The traffic of the Forth bridge, which is the largest of its kind in the world, for the year ending March, 1913, was 62,944 trains, an increase of 40 per cent, while the total weight increased to 15,984,410 tons, or about 60 per cent. The average woman likes to talk about her neighbors almost as well as the average man likes to talk about himself. The first woman handed the first man an apple, but her daughters have been handing men lemons ever since. INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION FIXES AMOUNT TO BE CHARGED: Average of $3.46 Per $100 of Payroll Is Approved for All Metalliferous Mines in State. Denver.—The state industrial commission notified the private insurance companies that it will approve a premium rate of $3.75 per $100 of payroll for furnishing workmen's compensation insurance for underground employés in metalliferous mines, and a rate of $2.39 per $100 of payroll for insurance of surface workers of the same class of mines. The two rates would make an average rate of $3.46, in contrast with $4.15, which was first proposed by the companies, $3.92 later proposed by them and $3.85 finally filed by them with the commission. In addition the commission will rule that 25 per cent of the rate will be cut off for employers supplying medical and hospital service in accordance with the law. The action of the commission in notifying the companies that it will approve an average rate of $3.46, while the companies filed one of $3.85, indicates that the commission itself will charge $3.46 for insurance in the state fund. This, it is expected, will induce the private companies to lower their rate to meet the one put in force by the commission. The committee of metalliferous mine employers which considered the subject for two days with the commission is satisfied with the rate indicated by the commission. It is not as low as the mine employers believe they should receive, but they say they feel that the commission is acting conservatively, so that there will be no possibility of insolvency of the state compensation insurance fund through an insufficient income because of too low premium rates. The action of the commission has removed the probability that a mutual insurance company will be formed by the metalliferous employers. A majority of them will now undoubted take out their compensation insurance with the state fund, according to Fred Carroll, state mining commissioner, who headed the committee that met with the commission. Big Estates Help Pay Expenses. Denver.—A total of $16,584.51 was collected by Leslie E. Hubbard, state inheritance tax appraiser, during June. The largest tax collected was of $8,348 from the estate of Robert H Beggs of Denver. From the estate of Fred Warshauer of Conejos county the state received a tax of $1,489, from the Rodney Curtis estate $12,294.15 and from the estate of Lamon V. Harkness of Kentucky $1,210. Taxes were collected from 163 estates, the principal ones being as follows: Estate— Value. Tax. Mary T. Hatch, El Paso $17,385.59 $ 372.46 Wm. W. Borst, Denver 76,878.41 643.00 Robin H.

Mr. Morrison is an attorney and a Republican in politics. Commissioner Grant, a_Democrat, has been president of the civil service commission during the last year. Lewis Is Acting Governor Denver.—So far as the location of the state's chief executive is concerned, the capitol of Colorado for the next few days will be at Canon City. Lieut. Gov. Moses E. Lewis of Canon City is now acting governor, and will continue to serve in that capacity during the absence of Governor Carlson in the East. He will remain at his home unless called to Denver on official business. McLaughlin Heads Civil Service. Denver.—Frank McLaughlin was elected president of the State Civil Service Commission. He succeeds W W. Grant, Jr., whose term on the commission has expired and who has been replaced by Arthur R. Morrison, appointed by the governor. Drach Refuses to Give Up Office. Denver.—Formal demand for pos session of the office of the state banking commissioner was made upon E. E. Drach by Grant McFerson of Boulder, recently appointed by Governor Carlson to the position. Drach declined to turn over the office and McFerson is planning to start legal action to remove him. Drach, who was appointed to his position by Governor Ammons, claims that, in addition to being under civil service, he holds ever until next April. MANY LIVES LOST IN BIG TORNADO SCORE DROWNED WHEN GALE CAPSIZES BOATS ON THE OHIO RIVER. TOWNS ARE LAID WASTE CLOUDBURSTS AND CYCLONES IN CENTRAL STATES CAUSE HEAVY LOSS. Chicago, July 8.—Tornadoes and cloudbursts, sweeping eastward from the Missouri river valley, caused heavy damage and loss of life in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Tornadoes swept districts northwest of St. Louis, blowing part of a Wabash railroad train from the track and devastating St. Charles, Mo. The wind at St. Charles blew eighty miles an hour. Similar storms were reported to have struck St. Peters, Mo., and Lawrenceville, Ill. First reports said two persons were killed at Lawrenceville. Exceptionally heavy rains were reported from all sections of the affected territory, especially at Rock Island, Ill., and Cincinnati, O. At the latter place the heaviest loss of life was due to the capsizing of river boats and it is feared many others have been drowned at other others along the river. Official forecasts for the storm-swept territory promised a cessation of the disturbances today. Last night St. Charles, a city of more than 10,000 population, was in total darkness except for kerosene lamps and candles. The electric plant was put out of commission. The entire front of Factory No. 2 of the American Car and Foundry Company was blown in. The storm came from the southwest but as it struck the city it swerved north and swept the entire central portion. The first volley of wind was followed by the heaviest rain in the memory of a generation, and this by hail. The storm then swept across the Missouri and Mississippi rivers and into Madison county, Ill., but there its fury seems to have been spent. An automobile party which rushed to St. Peters returned to St. Charles and reported that while every house in the town had been badly damaged, and many demolished, no one was killed and few persons were hurt. The town, however, was almost buried under stacks of wheat which had been carried from neighboring fields. Cincinnati.—A score of persons are believed to have lost their lives, and many more are known to have been injured, some seriously, as a result of one of the most severe wind and rain storms ever experienced in this section of the Ohio valley. Saxonia and Philadelphia Wire No Explosives Found on Board. New York, July 8—Fears for the safety of the Cunard line steamship Saxonia were dissipated when a wireless message, saying there were no bombs aboard, was received here from her captain in answer to the warning sent out that Frank Holt, who shot J. P. Morgan and committed suicide in jail, had asserted that this boat and the steamship Philadelphia of the American line were in danger of internal explosions. Earlier a reply had been received from the Philadelphia that no bombs were found aboard her. Both the Saxonia and the Philadelphia left New York on July 3 for Liverpool. The Philadelphia, being the faster boat, is due to dock on the other side on July 10 or 11, while the Saxonia should reach her destination on July 13 or 14. Both boats were in mid-ocean yesterday. Holt had written that "steamers leaving New York July 3 will be destroyed in mid-ocean by an explosion." Holt's warning was contained in a letter he sent to his wife at Dallas, Tex., and which was forwarded to the State Department at Washington by her attorney, J. E. Cockrell. It was believed that Holt had written the warning just prior to his attack on Mr. Morgan at the latter's home rear Glen Cove last Saturday. Denver Woman Stabbed to Death. Denver Woman Stabbed to Death. Denver—With a knife thrust through her right lung and the weapon which killed her lying across her breast, the body of Mrs. Augusta Brown, thirty-eight years old, was found in her home at 1012 West Ellsworth street by her eleven-year-old son Robert. Her husband, Carl Brown, forty-six years old, a blacksmith, was held in the city jail in connection with the crime. Russians Check Teutons' Advance. London. By the employment of strong reinforcements the Russians have temporarily, at least, checked the Austro-German advance toward the Lutin railway, which, if successful, would seriously imperil Warsaw. The Russians Wednesday claimed to have inflicted a serious defeat on the Austro-German army in the region of Krasnik, south of that railway, while the Austrians state that "the battle was invigorated by the participation of strong Russian reserves."

The history and importance of the Liberty Bell, so well known to us, cannot fail to revivify the heart of every true American when such an opportunity will be afforded every patriot to view the metallic object whose peals sounded and resounded July 4, 1776, pouring forth the glad tidings that America was no longer a colonial possession of Britain but a self-goverened country. This bell, viewed for a number of years by millions of people at its home in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, is being sent to the Panama-Pacific Exposition by special privilege of the President and members of the Senate and Congress, and among the places for a stopover in its journey to San Francisco, Denver has been kindly remembered and our gratitude for such a special kindness on the part of our government can be better imagined than described—the same never to be effaced from our memory. Special care has been taken to prevent any destruction to the bell, as worn with age it has a large crack, and so with the protection and guardianship of responsible and capable men we trust the same safety will result on its arrival here. Today will be red-letter day in the annals of Denver and Colorado, special trains being engaged to bring in the out-of-town folks when the bell arrives. The commissioners of the city in conjunction with the school authorities have charge of the exhibition. Every infant, juvenile, parent, young and old, should not miss this great opportunity, as the spirit which will permeate us in being permitted to view this relic of American foundation may be the means of an independence in common; the means of a real LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE, a true and genuine liberty-loving people, irrespective of class, creed or color, which is not only the basic principle of our Americanism, but our only hope in the perpetuity of our great American nation. ARE WE HOPING AGAINST HOPE? In a number of articles in preceding issues of this paper we have tried our best to advocate HARMONY among the commissioners of our city government and we went so far as to indorse the late Mayor Perkins wise expression when he advised the members of the Commission Government to put aside all selfishness relative to their respective departments and work as a whole for the good of the community. If we can remember clearly, the present form of municipal government was introduced as a decided improvement to the former phase of Mayor and Aldermen, and everyone looked forward to rapid strides and successful results beneficial to the city and county of Denver. In fact so well assured were the people, that business men who were hesitating to invest came to the front believing that our civic affairs were placed in the hands of good, efficient, noble and business-like men, and in resolving to assist in improving conditions they started to erect buildings, open up stores, etc., looking forward to an era of prosperity. But, alas! it appears as a crisis has been reached in our municipal affairs through the failure of our commissioners to cooperate and bend their efforts towards a common cause and a general policy. "A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand," a trite biblical expression, can be well applied to our present governing body of the city, and if the composition of that body as a whole or in part will continue to disobey the rules applying to unifying of forces and unanimity of action then Denver must prepare for the worst—the fall of Commission form of Government. As it is being given out to the public that the Commissioner of Safety, Alexander Nisbet, is the barrier among his associates, and as Mr. Nisbet announces that what ever he engages in is for the good of the public, can not the Mayor, Mr. Sharpley, Messrs. Greenlee, Pitcher and Hunter, meet the Commissioner of Safety on common ground and impress him with the necessity for confidence in one another and cooperation in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the city? We venture to assure the commissioners that the people of Denver are anxious to secure a peaceful administration, free from trouble, strife or any agitation, and although they are vested with the power of the recall, yet it is not their intention to use same indiscreetly and therefore will endeavor to give the present form of government an honest trial. With this in view, if any member of the commission will be so stubborn as to withhold his help in acting in concert for a better Denver, a progressive people and a successful administration then is he unmindful of his obligation, has he abused the people's trust, and become a subscriber to what results from "equals being added to unequals." We hope then that we will not be mistaken or our efforts proven futile, or that we are not hoping against hope, when we again make bold to emphasize the necessity of harmonious working as well as confidential relationship among our civic authorities which must take place immediately to save us from blame in our election of such officers to destroy the Commission form of Government and to prevent a stigma from being placed upon the fair name of our city. The Colorado Statesman in its continuous appeal to this civic head having borne the heat and burden of the day in helping to secure their election makes this final effort, warning them of the downfall of our city government in its present form if the voice of the people is not given attention. "Take heed lest ye fall," etc. Youth's Education Is His Foundation By A. T. MERRILL, Wheeling, Ill. Youth's Education Is His Foundation By A. T. MERRILL, Wheeling, Ill. The public schools should be brought up to the highest possible efficiency and everything should be done to allow boys and girls to receive a good education without hardship to them-selves and their parents. The farmer does not try to economize in the attention and care that he gives the crop while it is growing, for he knows that he will harvest accordingly. The children of this country are the crop of the nation. The harvest will be the future generation, and any economy that is practiced on the growing crop is false economy from which the harvest will suffer. The majority of children can attend school for only about seven or eight years of their lives. During this time they must get the foundation and a large amount of the material with which they are to go through life. How careful is the contractor who erects a skyscraper that his foundation shall be solid and true! The boy's education is his foundation whereupon to build his character and manhood. Instill in the boy self-respect, teach him to do things whereby he will also gain confidence in himself, teach him to occupy his mind by thinking useful and uplifting thoughts of his own, and when evil influences are brought to play upon him his moral muscles will be developed and strong to resist the attacks. Upon the school depends also our standing as a nation and the people's patriotism. The bearing that schooling has upon the progress of a country is illustrated by the fact that the United States and Germany have on an average one inhabitant out of every five in their schools, while a country like Russia has only one in every thirty-three in school. In the schools is also about the only place in which the people in this country can be taught "America first" and that this country is not a mixture of different countries, but that it is truly American. Whether the illiterate should be excluded from this country may be debated, but the children that come here and those who are born here must be educated and taught to be good American citizens, who are proud of their country. Children must be taught to be Americans first and should be taught the American language before any other. The American flag should be found displayed in all the schools and its significant meaning of justice, righteousness and liberty should be taught impressively. Higher Prices for Alligator Made Goods Leather goods made from alligator hides have gone up in price very considerably of late years. Higher Prices for Alligator-Made Goods By Samuel W. Yeakle, Athol, Mass. The alligator is rapidly disappearing in the swamps and bayous of the far South, and that is why bags and books fashioned from the thick skins of the saurian are worth from 25 per cent to 33 1-3 per cent more than of yore. Not only is the hunt for them keener, but in those parts of Florida where they were once abundant, civilization is rendering them extinct, as it has done in the case of rattlesnakes. A man who sets out an orange grove does not relish alligators for near neighbors, and he tries to exterminate all of them in his locality. It isn't so easy, either, to get alligator hides in perfect condition. The bulls wage eternal warfare among themselves, and it is a hard matter to get one whose outer carcass is not punctured with holes, which, of course, render the hide less valuable to the manufacturer. Down in southern Georgia, not long since, I met a man who told me of a thrilling experience with a gigantic bull alligator. Armed with a long-bladed knife, he jumped on the monster's back in shallow water, and before the surprised creature could make off into a deeper channel he plunged the knife into its throat, thereby putting an immediate end to its existence. At the time of relating the story he was having a huge specimen stuffed in his back yard, and he assured me it was the same one whose existence had been terminated by his hands. The narrator of the incident lives in Quitman, Ga., and in addition to being the superintendent of a Sunday school, bears a long-established reputation for honesty and veracity. It is impossible for us to understand the moral development of a man without some knowledge of the temptations that have crossed his path. In analyzing those factors which Temptation Shows Worth of Person By Rev. Preston Bradley, Pastor of Wilson Avenue People's Church, Chicago. It is impossible for us to understand the moral development of a man without some knowledge of the temptations that have crossed his path. In analyzing those factors which have entered into the moral success of a man we find that the part his temptations have played is the leading role in his drama of life. The highest example that we have of the moral life is found in the character of Jesus. His biographers have portrayed the character and scope of his temptations. There was nothing startling or unique in the temptations of Jesus. They came at a time in his life when they were most severe and at a time when he was the weakest. They were real tests of his power. They revealed his humanity. Without temptation in his own life he could have had no sympathetic attitude for humankind. The man whose life is spent in ease and refinement can never appreciate the position of the man who is having a terrific struggle. The man whose heart has never been torn by a great grief can never understand the value or depth of his own happiness. The man whose whole moral nature has not been swept by some mighty surge of a great temptation can never feel the moral security of one who fought and won. Great and terrific temptations are necessary to strong and powerful lives.

I have recently seen numbers of robins, meadow larks, black-birds, thrushes, bluejays and other birds. Here is a suggestion: Kill all English sparrows, for they eat the eggs of song birds and tear up their nests. These sparrows eat nothing but the farmers' grain, while song birds earn their keep by the insects they destroy as well as the songs they sing for us. While robins eat a few cherries, they more than earn their bread with the good they do elsewhere. If a cherry orchard is surrounded with a row of mulberry trees the robins will hardly touch the cherries. Blackbirds are not such nuisances in the garden or in the orchard as people imagine. Small boys should be encouraged to leave the birds alone. Hunters should spare song birds. Cats are great enemies of birds, but I believe they can be taught to leave them alone.

STANLEY HOTEL FLASHES AND SPARKS. (By Spree.) Curtis Harris the ever-ready, popular and genial captain of the bell-men is making the usual hit with the guests and also the men on his staff. Charlie Williams. Sergt. Howard Jones and James Grey, Second Lieutenants, with Ernest Reed, elevator pilot, are all in their respective capacity doing their best in catering to the success of the hotel. Curtis performed a daring feat last Thursday in his representation of Sheridan's ride, when his noble steed made a mile a minute clip nearly throwing its rider, being frightened at the sounds of his armor dangling from his side. Harris proved himself a good horseman by discarding his accoutrements and retaining his seat. Lloyd Hall, our famous soda dispenser of Denver, is in charge of the soda grill. He shows his ability for the performance of his duty as well as exceptional taste in the decoration of his show cases and the systematic order of his furniture. He has the best in candies; Woodward's Fine and all the leading brands of Key West and Havana Cigars. Lloyd comes in for quite a commendation from the management and guests, over his introduction of new drinks for the season. The following are among his specials: Estes Park Sunset Lemonade, Long's Peak Freeze, Stanley Frapee, Manor Fruit Punch and Twin Sisters Pargait; each having a charming effect on the most fastidious. The waiters under Sam Flemming are a jolly bunch, each endeavoring to impress the management with their ability to give satisfaction in rendering the best service. The season promises to be bright as soon as the weather conditions change. Ernest Manning, an adept in the tonsorial art, is making quite an appearance and will soon be famous among the employees of the Stanley Hotel. His artistic finish on the head of Elder P. R. Fossett, Chief Gazaboo, is a particular advertisement for the season of 1915. Henry Owen, Chief of the administrative department of the Stanley Manor has proven himself an horticulturist of no mean order by the grand results obtained from his plants on a soil thought to be non-fertile.

Time saving is one of the chief problems of the busy woman, and it concerns especially the housewife who does her own cooking or has only one maid. Here, for example, is how one woman saves time: When she makes pie crust she makes double the quantity needed at the moment, as pie crust rolled in a damp napkin and put in the refrigerator will keep perfectly for several days. Then she plans in the menus for the next few days to use that crust. A dessert or a fruit tart for the first night, turnovers for luncheon the following day, and if any crust remains it can be used in desserts, meat patties or cheese straws. By using the pastry in such a variety of ways she avoids the impression of sameness, yet manages to lighten materially her work of preparation. Filling the ice box with scraps of leftover food is a waste of room—and usually of food; but this woman solves very neatly the problem of "leftovers." She never allows an accumulation; nevertheless, every scrap is used. For example, if there are a few string beans or boiled potatoes left from dinner they are immediately sliced into small dice-shaped pieces and put away in a bowl to be used for a vegetable salad at tomorrow's luncheon. Scraps of meat too small to be used in other ways are put through the meat chopper, and go to make sandwiches for tea. Every dish that comes off the table is promptly attended to. If it be available for future use it is put away in a convenient form; if not available it is thrown away immediately. By this means the ice box is kept neat and clean, there is no waste by spoiling, and much time is saved. SAVE BOTH TIME AND LABOR Casserole Dishes Should Be Constantly in the Mind of the Housewife in the Summer. The long list of casserole dishes are among the time and labor savers of the summer housewife. With everything cooked in and served from the same dish, table service, as well as dishwashing, is reduced to the minimum, while even a commonplace preparation is given a bit of elaboration by this process. In the same practical category belongs the attractive serving of an occasional planked dish, surrounded by an alternating variety of vegetables. While in reality the meat or fish so served may have been broiled in the regulation way, it gains much in appearance if served in imitation of a planked dish, occupying the center of a large platter with the vegetables as a border. Mounds of mashed potato or boiled rice, alternating with mounds of some fresh vegetable, are quite sufficient, although more variety is easily possible. Vegetables served in this way make an attractive garnish, at the same time lessening the number of dishes required on the table. Strawberry Bread Pudding. Soak one slice of bread in enough cold water to cover it for half an hour. Then press all the water from it and beat with a fork. Add a pint of boiling milk, two eggs well whipped, half a teaspoonful of salt, a tablespoonful of butter and a large cupful of sugar. Flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla and pour into a buttered baking dish. Just before placing in the oven drop in a cup of strawberries cut in halves. Bake till a nice brown. Then spread with butter and sprinkle thickly with powdered sugar. Return to the oven till a crust is formed. Serve warm with strawberry sauce. To Fillet a Fish. Remove the dark skin; cut down the backbone and slip the knife under the flesh, keeping close to the bone, till the fins are reached. Cut a fillet off of each side, turn the fish over and cut two more fillets off the other side. A good-sized flat fish will give four fillets. Smaller fish that are not flat should be divided into two fillets only. Weakfish, flounder, salmon, whiting, herring, mackerel, haddock and any of the larger fishes that have not too many small bones are excellent subjects for fillet. Rice Mold. Mix one-half cupful rice with two cupfuls cold milk, put it in a double boiler, add one-half teaspoonful salt and boil about one hour, then put it in a mold, and when perfectly cold turn out and spread with scraped maple sugar, about one cupful; pour over one cupful whipped cream and serve. Curtain Washing Hint. When washing new curtains you will generally find that they are full of lime. A great deal of trouble may be saved by soaking the curtains overnight in water in which a little salt has been dissolved. The salt draws the lime and makes the curtains easy to wash. Machine Oil Stains. Yellow machine oil stains on white material may be removed by rubbing the spot with a cloth wet with ammonia before using soap. Brightening Rugs. Throw coarse salt over rugs and carpets before sweeping them to prevent the dust from rising. This will brighten the color also. Pansy For summer flowering, annuals are very satisfactory, blooming profusely through the entire season, while the cost of a seed packet is but a trifle. Good taste dictates the system of planting large bunches of single species together rather than the old way of mixing a dozen varieties in as many square feet. It is the same plan that places a dozen carnations or roses in a vase rather than the heterogenous collection in the old-fashioned bouquet. Mass your flowers if you would secure the best effect. The old callopsis, "lady's breastpin" they used to call it, is a handsome plant, its long slender stems rendering it extremely useful for cutting, and the shades of gold and brown harmonizing nicely. A mass of it next to the shrubberry in the background gives a most pleasing effect. Some handsome forms of single dahlia may be secured by planting a packet of the seeds in pots early in the spring and transplanting the Water the --- V Water the Gloxinia. By L. M. BENNINGTON. If the season is a dry one some of the plants in the garden will have to be watered if you want flowers from them. Especially is this true of gloxinia. Use enough water to penetrate all the soil in which their roots grow, and see that it is kept moist. Watering today and neglecting for a week to come isn't the proper thing. Save the suds from wash day for this purpose. The snap in the water will benefit the plants. Be sure to supply substantial supports for your dahlias. If this is not done you will likely find them broken some morning after a sudden wind or a hard rainstorm. The stakes should be at least four feet tall—allow an extra foot and a half for insertion in the ground and they should be at least an inch through, and of good sound wood. Paint them a dull green and they will not be unpleasant- COLORS IN ANNUALS COLORS IN ANNUALS Bv L. M. BENNINGTON. WORK-A-DAY NOTES young seedlings to the garden as soon as danger from frost is over. The colors of some are very fine and to one liking the single flowers the plan is a good one of getting a variety at a small price; but unless started very early these seedlings rarely mature tubers that will keep through the winter, though they commence flowering almost as soon as the plants are started from the tubers. The chrysanthemum-flowered asters are much more pleasing, both grown in masses and for cutting, than the quilled bouquet sorts. If but two kinds are chosen, let them be lavender and white with rose as a third choice. When ordering seeds there is a strong temptation to order mixed packets, yet if the very finest specimens are expected, the surer way is to single out one or two of the choiceest colors. These are made up from the best individuals, while the mixed packets are what the name implies, though in many instances highly satisfactory. With pansies for spring, sweet peas for summer, and asters for autumn, one may be sure of having an abundance of the most beautiful cut-flowers for all occasions. Gloxinia. ly obtusive.

A light breeze ruffled the lake, and from the topmost twig of a tall tree a red-winged blackbird sent out his cheery morning call. Isabel Orth came down the path among the pines, a fresh young form garbed in crisp white linen. She paused for an instant and peered through the straight pine trunks and caught a glimpse of the canoe with her guide waiting patiently beside it. Her guide, John Dunston, was unlike any other guide who had served the Orths on Loon lake. Young and straight-limbed, with brown hair, eyes and skin, and a close-lipped mouth, he might be mistaken for the typical woodsman, only that when his lips parted in speech his voice lacked the rough intonation of the natives, and his words were carefully chosen. The Orths and their friends acknowledged that John Dunston was quite "superior" to his station in life. If Isabel admitted it, she gave no utterance to her thoughts. Her attitude toward Dunston was as coolly impersonal as it was toward Trapper Joe or Hank Pike. If anything, it was a little more pronounced in hauteur, due, perhaps, to self-rebuke for a secret interest in the young man. "Good morning, Miss Orth." Dunston lifted his hat as he arose from the pebbly beach. "Good morning, Dunston," returned Isabel. "Do tell me what that bird is—that little black mite, with touches of red and the pearly breast—hear him?" Chee—chee—chee-e-e-e-e! Dunston looked up into the thick tangle of a tall elderberry bush. "That's a redstart. Cheery little beggars, aren't they?" he asked as he bent to the canoe and arranged the cushions. "Yes," said Isabel. "Are you ready for me?" "Just a moment—there!" Presently, Isabel was leaning among crimson cushions while Dunston's strong arms were sending the paddle in flashing arcs from side to side. The water fell from the blades in silvery drops. Isabel watched the rhythmic movement of the paddles and frowned a little when she discovered that she had forgotten the beauty of the morning, the song of birds, the ripple of the lake, everything, in the fascination of watching Dunston's strong arms as they rose and fell with each dip of the paddle. "Turn your head to the left—don't move suddenly—you will glimpse a deer," whispered Dunston. Isabel obeyed. For an instant, she saw the beautiful brown head with soft startled eyes fixed on the canoe and its occupants. Then it vanished and there was a crashing of underbrush along the shore. Isabel laughed in sheer delight: "Wasn't it lovely?" she asked impulsively. Dunston's reply was amazing. "Why, you are a real girl after all!" he exclaimed, and immediately bit his lip with annoyance. Isabel blushed to her fair hair. In her astonishment at the guide's outburst she forgot their relative positions and spoke quite naturally. "Of course I am a real girl. Don't I always act like one?" she questioned curiously. "I beg your pardon, Miss Orth," he said contritely, "but—somehow, it seems to me that you take your pleasures rather seriously for a young girl." "I am twenty-four," admitted Isabel frankly, "and I am never so stiff and disagreeable as I am when in your company, Dunston!" Dunston concealed a smile. Miss Orth's haughty demeanor masked a very agreeable simplicity. "I am sorry," he said humbly. "Perhaps I could change places with Hank. Mr. Luttrell has asked me if I could not break my contract with your father. Hank is considered the best guide in the Loon district, and I know he would be glad to come back to your father." "No!" cried Isabel sharply. "You cannot go, Dunston; my father would not like it. You are bound to Orth cottage until November." Dunston bowed his head in acknowledgment, but his brown eyes showed golden sparks as if some flame burned within. As was customary on pleasant days, the guide took Isabel to a certain tiny island in the lake, where a hammock swung under a tree. At sundown he would come after her and their silent trips to and from the camp and the island held a growing significance because of the girl's quite unnecessary aloofness and the man's cool indifference beyond the mere performance of his duty. Isabel never forgot that she was Henry Orth's daughter, and John Dunston never failed to remember that she had relegated him to his place—and he never presumed. The canoe bumped against the moss-grown logs that served as a landing place and Isabel, disdaining assistance, stepped ashore and received her books and little lunch basket from the guide. "You will come for me at sunset, Dunston?" she asked. "Yes, Miss Orth," was his terse reply as he paddled away. Isabel went up the path to the hammock and fell to day dreaming. Strange to say, her thoughts had noth- ing to do with her host of friends, her devoted family circle, or several insistent suitors. They persisted in dwelling upon John Dunston's handsome eyes, his well-knit form and his rather grim young face. "Of all the idiots!" Isabel's eyes flashed at her own weakness. "What does it matter who he is—it cannot possibly interest me. I am going to marry Freddy Moore—I've quite decided to answer his letter this evening. Let me see, a honeymoon yachting in the West Indies. How I shall adore it—and Freddy is a perfect dear!" A vision of Mr. Freddy Moore, plump, fair, pink-cheeked and blue-eyed, panting breathlessly in her wake as she explored the unknown delights of foreign countries, had rather a dampening effect on Isabel's enthusiasm. She frowned and picked up a book. Noon came and went. The dainty lunch was disposed of. The book was nearly finished. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Almost immediately she awoke to the low rumble of thunder. The sky had darkened and from the northwest black clouds had piled to the zenith, obscuring the sun. The air was heavy with portent of the coming storm and birds flew to cover, uttering sharp, uneasy cries. Isabel sprang to the ground and pushed back the locks from her hot cheeks. What should she do? There was no shelter on the island and she was afraid of thunderstorms. Where was Dunston? He might have been miles away with her father and, although recognizing the approaching storm, he might not have time to reach the island. She felt a vague resentment that he had not remembered her there alone on the island. Not the displeasure of the mistress for a neglectful servant, but a woman's jealousy because she had been forgotten by one whose regard she valued. There was a flash of lightning, and then another long roll of thunder. With her hands on her quivering throat, Isabel looked down and saw Dunston's form on the little landing. He was bending over the canoe. His head was bare and his white shirt was wet with perspiration. He had evidently hurried to rescue her, and yet he seemed to be in no great haste now. And the storm was almost ready to burst over their heads. Suddenly he turned and came up the path. "Oh, Dunston," she quavered, "do you think it's going to be a very bad storm?" "Oh, no, Miss Orth," he said cheerfully, although his eyes evaded hers. "We saw it coming up and so I came after you. The wind is east and the storm is shifting to the southwest. See, it is quite clear overhead now." "It is," agreed Isabel. Then, with a change of tone, she said, timidly: "It was very good of you to race over here after me. I-I thought you had forgotten me, Mr. Dunston." He reddened. It was the first time she had ever called him that. The golden sparks came into his eyes as they fell on her lovely flushed face, with its new look of shyness that was quite adorable. "I could never forget you," he said grimly. "I wish to heaven I could!" There was a long, palpitating silence. Isabel's proud head drooped before his bold gaze. "I hope you—you never will, Mr. Dunston," she whispered. He sprang to her side. "Just what do you mean by that?" he demanded fiercely. Isabel lifted her eyes for an instant before the thick lashes veiled them. Dunston regarded her dizzily, his hands clenched. "Do you remember that I am only a guide?" he asked sharply. She nodded. "You are a man—such as I have never known before." "You know nothing about me—you—Isabel, I love you. Will you marry me?" Again she nodded. "Unknown as I am?" "Yes," she whispered. "I have a confession to make," he murmured when his arms had enfolded her yielding form. "Two years ago I came to the woods dying from consumption. I lived like a primitive man in the open, earning my own living—and I have earned my life and splendid health. Now I am going back to my family and friends—oh, I am not a nonentity, darling. I belong to the Philadelphia Dunstons and my father is Seth Dunston of the Iron Works!" "I don't care about that—it's you I love!" protested Isabel. "And another confession," he whispered. "I arrived at the island while you were asleep in the hammock and I could not resist kissing you! I was going to tell you and take my discharge, for it was a cowardly thing to do! Tell me, sweetheart, that you forgive me!" Isabel smiled adorably. "I should never have forgiven you if you had not!" she said. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate) Giving an Illustration. A newly enrolled volunteer was rather alarmed during his first experience of a sham battle, especially as he heard the colonel in command say that everything was to be done as in actual warfare. No sooner was the first blank cartridge fired than the frightened soldier dropped his gun and took to his heels. "Hey! where are you running to?" shouted the captain, as he fled past him. "Oh," said the man, "it's all right, sir. I am just doing the same as I would do in actual war." NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Broad Smile Worn by President's Stenographer WASHINGTON.—Charles L. Swem, President Wilson's personal stenographer, went to work the other day with a broad smile, a box of cigars, and the happy announcement that he was proud father of a six-and-a-half state than were ever before intrusted to a man of his years.

And he further admitted that anything he might say by way of a name for the boy would be pure speculation, as, of course, Mrs. Swem would have the final say. It's "Charlie's" first child. President Wilson brought Swem with him to Washington when he became president. The young man is shy just seven points of the world's record for stenography.

The new home seemed most appropriate; the statue looked like a shrine. It was indoors, anyway. But they have made changes in the institution, and the chapel is now a mass of cases for exhibition purposes and the statue is quite concealed, surrounded by the lumber and glass, so that the effect it might have is altogether lost. The statue seems thrust into a hole in the wall, as a cast-off among a lot of other debris, and, moreover, it is covered with gray dust, until it is getting to look quite black and certainly repellently soiled. Another amusing incident in connection with this notable statue is the fact that Senator Gorman of New York during the last session of congress introduced a bill providing for the removal of this work of art to the Smithsonian institution. It is presumed, of course, that the senator had no knowledge of the whereabouts of the statue. Eastern Approach of Capitol to Be Replaced WASHINGTON'S most historic spot is to be replaced.

A bulletin issued by spe- | cialists at his bedside stated that there were no unfavorable symptoms, | and that Mr, Morgan was resting easily. Late Saturday night it was definite- ly established that both bullets fired at Mr, Morgan had penctrated his hip and that neither had pierced the abdomen, The first shot struck the right hip and went through in a line almost horizontal, deflecting slightly down: | wards. The second shot struck nearer the groin and was deflected much more sharply downward. This shot | came out of the upper leg. No vital organ, the physicians an- nounced had been involved in his in- dury. 4 Junius Spencer Morgan, eldest son of the financier, was asked to state the exact nature of the wound, After conferring with the physicians young | Mr, Morgan asserted that the doctors had dvsided to add nothing to their previous bulletins. Holt was overpowered by Mr. Mor- gan and Henry Fiske, the butler in the Morgan household, He was jafled here, where he issued a statement say- ing he had intended no harm to Mr. Morgan, but had come to Glen Cove to persuade the banker to stop the shipment abroad of munitions of war. An authoritative statement of the shooting was obtained after many conflicting reports had been cir- culated, s Statement on Shooting. This account is as’ follows: Holt called at the Morgan home at 9 o'clock, while Mr. and Mrs. Morgan were at breakfast. Fiske, the butler, answered Holt’s ring at the door. Holt handed the butler his card, tell- ir; him to inform Mr, Morgan it was from a friend. As the butler started back through the hallway Holt slipped a pistol from his pocket and pressed it against the butler’s stomach. “See this gun?” he demanded, “I have another one.” The butler backed into the hallway, Holt following. As the front door closed behind them the butler realized the determination of the assa~sin and spoke in a loud voice, so that Mr. Mor- gan might hear: “Mr. Morgan is in the library.” Holt continued to press the butler backward toward the dining room, As they neared it the butler spoke again: “Upstairs! Mr. Morgan; upstairs!” he shouted. Alarmed by the shout, Mr. Morgan and his wife left the dining room by another door, entered the rear hall- way and went upstairs, They found nothing amiss there and started back, using the front stairway. They walked almost into the assassin's arms, Mrs; Morgan saw him first, screamed and drew back. Holt turned and fired twice before Mr. Morgan could seize him, Fiske, no longer menaced by the pistol, grabbed the assassin’s right hand, ‘Mr. Morgan, with two bullet wounds in his body, threw himself on his as- sailant and the three men fell on the floor. ‘The struggle on the floor was short. ‘The pistol was torn from Holt’s fin- gers and he was beaten by the butler and other servants who came running at the sound of the shots. The Glen Cove police and a physician were sum- moned and Holt was placed in one of the Morgan automobiles and hurried to the jail here. ‘Mr. Morgan walked, calmly and col- lectedly, feeling, he said, that he had been shot, but experiencing no sensw tion of weakness, up the sairs and went to the telephone, He called up the doctor and afterwards his office in New York city and told the story of the shooting, asserting that he did. not regard his wounds as serious. ‘Then he went to his bed and lay down, awaiting the doctor. ' Butler Saves Morgan's Life. Fiske, Mr, Morgan's butler, doubt- less saved his employer from more se- rious injury by felling the assailant with a blow from a coal hod and over- powering him, Holt was locked up in the Glen Cove jail, and from his cell issued a statement asserting that he was impelled to go to Mr. Morgan to yersuade him to stop the shipment ot munitions of war from this country abroad. . Holt later confessed the placing of a bomb in the Capitol building at ‘Washington. Holt Makes Statement, Glen Cove, N. Y., July 6—Frank Holt, the man who shot J. P. Morgan, is the man who set the bomb that ex- ploded in the United States Capitol at Washington Friday night. In a statement to Justice Luyster and Thomas Tunney, head of the bomb and explosive squad of the New York City Detective Bureau, Holt confessed setting the bomb, and described it in detail, “I made this bomb,” Holt is quoted as having said, in his confes- sion, “with three sticks of dynamite, some match-heads and a bottle of sul- phurie acid.” Holt made the following statement about the shooting: “My home is in Dallas, Tex. I have a wife and children and am 40 years old. I was born in this country, and so were my father and mother. My ancestors were French and German; it was all mixed up. I received a de- gree of doctor of philosophy from Cor- nell in 1914, but before that I was in- structor in French. I was formerly an instructor in Vanderbilt University. I came to New York two weeks ago from Ithaca and put up at the Mills hotel at Thirty-sixth street and Sev- enth avenue. I took no pains to con- ceal my identity and registered un- der my own name. About a month ago & a Sy fx = ‘ 2 i) ; | \ Ge : cS Pa . eo 38 P| J. P. MORGAN. I conceived the idea to see J. P. Mor- gan, and get him to use his influence in stopping the exportation of arms, ‘which make you and me responsible for the murder which is going on over ‘there. “I could not go from manufacturer to manufacturer myself, but 1 thought ‘that Mr. Morgan's banking connec- ‘tions would render it more easy for him to accomplish this. I have not been influenced to do this by anybody else. I think President Wilson's notes were fine—but they did not. seem ‘to do anything to stop the war. | “I came down here from New York to put my ideas before Mr, Morgan, ‘but I depended upon him to formulate the plan. Of course I did not mean 10 shoot Mr. Morgan, but I intended to stay there until something was done. I had a stick of dynamite in my pocket; J had thought it might come in handy, somehow. Some fool has said that I had nitro-glycerine in my suit case, but that was only benzine ‘to clean my clothes. “I went up to the house and got by the butler and walked up stairs. I had ‘my gun in my hand. In the hall on the second floor I met Mr. Morgan. A woman whom I took to be his wife immedidately preceded him down the hall, She screamed and jumped away from where—I don’t know exactly where, Mr, Morgen did not give me a chance to-say anything. He jumped at me and grappled with me and 1 fired in the air, thinking to scare him. ‘They tell me I hit him. I don't know, for somebody hit me on the head. “I hope Mr, Morgan is not badly hurt. I admire Mr. Morgan's courage in grappling with me. If he would only use his courage in the right di- rection, and for the right things, he will get somewhere and do something worth while.” The belief prevailed that Holt had been connected with other bomb out- rages which have baffled the police, notably the finding of a bomb on the grounds of Andrew Carnegie's Fifth avenue residence in New York City. With = pencil borrowed from the newspaper man, Holt addressed a tele- gram to his wife, at 101 Marseilles street, Dallas, Tex. The telegram fol- lows: “Man proposes, God disposes. Don’t come here until you get my letter, Be strong.” ‘The telegram was signed “Frank.” He said he had written “war arti- cles” for an evening paper in Ithaca and that in these articles he had asked the editor of the paper to be neutral. The articles, he said, were published over his signature. } a re ee A He de HL ha aN CEABIART- WVADEND ES aaen nie Biota a titer jf winds’ si, that Peter's a aang bu the SrGiG:"End crtig fa haere?

Morgan is the man who set the bomb that exploded in the United States Capitol at Washington Friday night. In a statement to Justice Luyster and Thomas Tunney, head of the bomb and explosive squad of the New York City Detective Bureau, Holt confessed setting the bomb, and described it in detail. “I made this bomb,” Holt is quoted as having said, in his confes- sion, “with three sticks of dynamite, some match-heads and a bottle of sul- phuriec acid.” Mineola, N. Y., July 7—Frank Holt, the Cornell University professor who shot J. P. Morgan in his home near Glen Cove last Saturday and placed a bomb in the Capitol at Washington Eriday night, committed suicide in the jail here last night. While several of the jail authorities declared that Holt killed himself by climbing through the opening at the top of his cell door and then plunging to the narrow court below, Holt’s keeper said he was positive that the prisoner was killed in his own cell, where, he said, he found the body. Holt's suicide followed an earlier at- tempt when he slashed his wrists with the metal of a lead pencil. There were “many conflicting re- ports as to the manner in which Holt met his death, but it was definitely es- tablished, through Dr. Cleghorn, the jail physician, that Holt died of a frac- tured skull. ; Several of those about the jail said they heard an explosion, the report coming from Holt’s cell. This noise, it was believed, was due to the falling of boards from the top of the cell. Jeremiah O'Ryan, the keeper, who was detailed to watch Holt, said he was fifteen feet away from the cell, when he heard a loud report. He looked in the direction of the cell but it was dark, Entering, he found Holt’s body, in a pool of blood, in the corner. Dr. Cleghorn denied a report that Holt had killed himself by chewing a percussion cap. He repeated that death was caused by a fracture at the top of the skull. An Oe which would have blown his ‘head off would have fol lowed an attempt by Holt to chew a percussion cap, the physician safd. A thorough examination of Holt’s cell failed to disclose, according to the jail authorities, any weapon or imple ments of any kind which Holt could have used to kill himself. Coroner Walter R. Jones, after view: ing the body, said: “Undoubtedly a suicide and undoubtedly the man jumped ‘The body was taken to the morgue in Hempstead, where Dr. Cleghorn was prepared immediately to perform an autopsy. sorry, but there is little I can say. I shall not tell my daughter until to- morrow. I do not care to discuss the matter further tonight.” This was the statement ‘Tuesday night by Dr, O. F. Sensabaugh, father- inlaw of Frank Molt, when told that Holt was dead. Mr. Sensabaugh said a physician had told him it would be unsafe to tell Mrs. Holt of the suicide until Wed- nesday, Holt’s tather-in-law said no ar- rangement would be made for the funeral until later. “I told her of the theory that Holt was really Erich Muenter, who disap- peared after the mysterious death of his wife and my daughter is _pros- trated as a result,” added Mr, Sensa- baugh. “But I had to tell her all. To- morrow we will have to tell her of her husband's death.” Mr. Sensabaugh added that he could not believe Holt and Muenter were the same man. “If Holt really was a man who had dropped to life's bottom—and I can't believe it—1 take my hat off to him for the way he came back,” he added.

DAY OR NIGHT 遊 To Lend Beauty to Summer Fetes THE FASHION OF THE TIME What with topcoats variously named and classified with sports coats, motor coats, tourist coats, and simply overall coats, it takes a fine discrimination to pick out just the coat best suited to one's style and needs. Sports and motor coats may be considered as one and the same thing. Those chosen for motor wear are likely to be a bit less vivid in color than the sports coats. Tan or blue or green are liked for them, while rose, canary, mustard color, hunter's green, French blue, beige and combinations including strong color contrasts mark the snappy style of coats for other sports. As to the lines of the newest models, they are flaring, with narrow shoulders and high convertible collars. For motoring and sports pockets are ample and much in evidence, belts conspicuous by their absence. Of coats for the tourist there is a wide variety in styles, some of them cut along the same general lines as those just described, but often pocketless. Others bear no resemblance to sports coats. Many of these topcoats are made of covert cloth, and very smart models are shown in tussor silk, prettily lined with flowered silk. They shed dust and are as practical as they are attractive. To Lend Beauty Hats that are frivolous, along with hats that are dignified and picturesque, make place for themselves among hats that are merely sensible, for wear on the rounds of midsummer days and nights. But all must be chic and bespeak the part they are to play, leaving no room in the mind for doubt on that score. Here are two that belong to the dignified and picturesque coterie, shown with examples of flowers that are liked on millinery of this kind. They bring to mind weddings and garden fetes and all sorts of charming, gay occasions to which they will lend their own beauty. Millinery holds the center of the stage where those who aspire to elegance in dress assemble and make a part of the occasion. The wearer of either of these hats will be entitled to feel complacent as to her headwear no matter how much elegance may vie with her own. Honors may be divided, but she will not be outshone. The large light hat is of flesh-pink georgette crepe and malines with daisies and wheat in a wreath about the crown. The wheat is of white chiffon and silk fibers, and the daisies have petals of satin in white and in light blue and pink. This hat has a double brim, the widder, lower brim of malines bound with crepe, and the overbrim of crepe. A narrow black velvet ribbon encircles the crown and is tied in a little A conservative and smart-looking coat of covert cloth is shown in the illustration. It is waterproof and in a greenish tan color. The collar and cuffs are inlaid with checkerboard silk in black and white. If one is looking for a coat to be called upon for much service and to fit all the occasions likely to come up in the course of a journey this is a model worth considering. Half Boots. The queerest looking pair of boots seen in a long time are those which look exactly as if someone had taken a pair of scissors and cut away the uppers just a little above the ankle line. The half boots have a seam up the front and are laced at the side, three eyelets being sufficient for the height of the shoe. Black and biscuit-colored boots are most prominent on that score. Organdie Bodice. Taffeta will be worn even by those who are adopting the newest fashions, and over them an organdie Moyen age bodice ending above the knee, or rather between the normal waist line and knee. to Summer Fetes bow at the back. The ends are brought over the brim and fastened on the under brim, hanging from there in long ties that are never tied. The lovely black hat of malines and lace braid is made on similar lines except that its brim is curving. The lace braid over-lay on the malines brim has the effect of a double brim. The wreath of white satin oats is brightened by a single rose that deepens to pink at its center and is mounted on the crown at the left side. Narrow black ribbon finishes a bandeau at the left and falls in long ends at the back. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Scenting Linen: A formula for a scent to place among her bed linen is usually liked by the dainty woman, and here is a most excellent one: One ounce powdered gum benzoin, one of powdered cloves and two of powdered cinnamon; add to these seven ounces powdered cedar wood and the same of dried lavender flowers; mix sift and put into flat bags to lay between sheets and smaller ones for the slips; or, if pads are made to fit the shelves it will answer as well. Balsam, the ar tree balsam, gives of its own fragrance from pads made and filled with it and these, with the old-fashioned lavender, can never be improved upon for perfuming bed linen. --- THE DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992 FRANK S.
