Disgrace Scenes A The quadrennial conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in session at Bethel Church, 6th and Pine streets, was disturbed Wednesday, by a recommendation of the committee on episcopacy that two additional bishops be elected tomorrow. The debate following the committee's report was so heated that Bishop B. F. Lee, presiding today, had the doxology sung, and then ordered that a recess be taken. The committee consists of seventy-two members. There are a majority and a minority faction. The report recommended the passage of character of all bishops but Joshua H. Jones, Alabama and Tennessee, who was elected two years ago. It was stated that his character was being investigated in connection with the manner in which he regulated certain affairs. The report also recommended the recall to this country of Bishop William H. Heard, West Africa, and Bishop J. Albert Johnson, South Africa. They have served twelve years in those fields, and desire places in this country. The report then touched upon the recommendation for two new bishops. The Rev. E. H. Hunter, Richmond, Va., who represents sixteen members of the committee, who are in the minority, read the minority report, which agreed with the other on all recommendations except the election of new bishops. The Rev. J. G. Robinson offered a motion to table the minority report. He was accused of trying to get "easy chairs" for two men. One delegate said he was trying to rob widows and orphans by paying so much money for new bishops. A bishop receives $2,500 a year and traveling expenses. Bishop W. D. Chappelle was appointed chairman of a committee to go to Washington and try to induce Congress to pass a law making lynching a crime against the Federal government. On Wednesday night the scene at the conference was so disgraceful and noisy that one delegate moved that twenty Sergeant of Arms be appointed to preserve order. This motion brought applause from the galleries, of people who were really ashamed of those who claim to be the leaders of our people. One man muttered, "If those fellows are our leaders, may the good Lord soon deliver the race from their grasp." Indeed one gets the impres- sion at the A. M. E. Conference that .ts delegates may be anything else but Christians. Why, at one of the sessions, a brother was howled down and hissed, because he suggested that a prayer be offered. Quite a number of the delegates show they have little or no respect for their bishops, and are frequently very imprudent toward them. A careful looker on observes that the new crop of preachers are in no ways an improvement on the army of godly men who used to make up the A. M. E. Conference years ago. Men and women are now asking as they study the make-up of the present conference whither goeth the once great A. M. E. Church. Brethren! Signs of retrogration are evident except a change for the better is made. Two new bishops were elected at the General Conference, Thursday afternoon out of the thirty aspirants for the elevation to the espicopacy. The leading candidates were Beckett, Ross, Fountain and Johnson. Three ballots were necessary before an election resulted. On the first ballot Rev. William A. Fountain, of Atlanta, Ga., led, followed closely by Dr. Ross, of Baltimore. On the second ballot, Fountain dropped due to the opposing efforts of Bishop Chappelle; Ross and Beckett rose, but neither gained the necessary 287 for choice. On the third ballot Beckett and Ross made a landslide. Rev. Beckett, president of Allan University, Charleston, S. C., secured 377 votes; Rev. I. N. Ross, of Baltimore, 312; Rev. W. A. Fountain, 173, and Dr. W. D. Johnson, 260, necessary for choice 306.—Philadelphia Tribune. PHILADELPHIA PASTOR SCORES HIS PREACHERS. Philadelphia, Pa.—In a sensational sermon at Allen A. M. E. Church, Sunday night, the Rev. Dr. W. Spencer Carpenter attacked some of the ministers attending the A. M. E. general conference for drinking in saloons, criticised Dr. DuBois "Star of Ethiopia" for having dancing therein, and scored the many candidates for various offices because they were advertising their candidates like ward politicians. When it became known that Dr. Carpenter was to preach the sermon, many of the delegates attending the conference helped to pack the church. Many of them winced as he made his onslaught against unrighteousness in DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1916 high places. Some of the delegates became incensed at his plain talk, as a result of which a resolution was introduced in the general conference Monday censuring him for his utterances. The resolution passed. There are some Christians who say, "Lord, I will follow Thee, but I don't see any harm in dancing." Now there is a law in our rituals that says don't encourage dancing, but I very seldom higher authority to help me fight it, mention it, and if I did, and sought I would be told to let that alone. How on earth is the church going to square itself when it is co-operating in the giving of the great play of Negro life in which there is dancing? Some of my members come to me and tell me their wives come home from the rehersals of this play, they are so stiff they can hardly walk. They have been dancing. And then there are some Christians who say: "Lord, I will follow Thee, but I don't see any harm in taking a little drink now and then." Why, some of the members of this church have been complaining about some of the delegates to the General Conference who are living with them, taking out the water pitchers and bringing beer into their homes. What has African Methodism come to? There is a club on South Street made up of a fairly good set of men, most of whom are not Christians. These men can look across the street into a saloon and see the gold badges of some of our delegates as they line up at the bar. Then there are some Christians who say, "O, Lord, I will follow Thee, but I see no harm in having affinities." How can you lead your members if you are guilty of these things yourself? I don't say that you are THE NEW CITY COUNCIL. Four councilmen named by Mayor Speer and five already selected by the commercial and labor organizations constitute the city council for the ensuing year as changed by the charter amendment adopted May 9. The following are the members appointed by the mayor: Dr. D. G. Monaghan, oculist; William C. Danks, attorney; John Conlon, former councilman, and Joseph B. Rycraft, fuel and feed business. The other members named by the commercial and labor bodies are as follows: Louis F. Bartels, J. A. Burnett, T. O. Spacy, Jesse M. Wheelock and Harry Zimmerhackel. This selection being in conformity with the promise of Mayor Speer that his appointments would be made on a non-partisan basis, should be satisfactory to the citizens of Denver, and ought to give encouragement to every lover of good government to help the new council to put into effect a system which we hope never to regret. The majority of these councilmen are well known to us as men who have the city's welfare at heart. Being strictly businesslike in their respective spheres, and residents of long standing in Denver they are familiar with the things that are necessary towards the development of the city, and their thorough acquaintance with the districts they represent particularly fits them for the responsible positions give them. Regarding their political faith we will have the highest respect for the platform that Mayor Speer stands on, which he has declared with emphasis during the recent campaign, and which we believe is made absolutely clear to the members of his cabinet and council—a non-partisan, non-political city government. Realizing this and believing these representatives will be honorable and faithful in discharging the trust committed to them, we will do all in our power to work with them for a successful administration and the salvation of the city and county of Denver, so that a guarantee of sound, economic and efficient government will be offered the people, who will show their appreciation by indorsing this local legislature for future service. The council will meet for the first time on Monday, 29th inst. when it will organize and elect a presiding officer. It now devolves on our new city councillors to do their part; the mayor and his cabinet to demonstrate their new system, and the public—the ever ready contributors and arch-supporters of good govern ment will in turn maintain and sustain a cause worthy of the coming WONDER OF THE WEST. guilty of these things. But the trouble is that if one colored man does wrong, the whole race is condemned. SNOWBALL LEADS IMMIGRANT TO DEATH. Negro Boy, Ignorant of it All, in Jail. Philadelphia, May 24.—Last winter John Mysleski, 21 years old, arrived in America, an immigrant. Today he lies dead in the morgue, because he was hit by a snowball shortly after his arrival in this city. The only apparent result of the blow from the snowball was to cause him to store up anger against Wiley Lewis, 15 years old, a Negro boy, who cast the Christmas missle in play. Sunday the immigrant, who had kept in his mind, his friends say, the image of the young Negro's face, came across Lewis, with a crowd of boys of his own age, pitching dimes. The foreigner plunged into the party, seized Willy by the shoulders and forced him aside, while the others looked on amazed. Mysleski incoherently poured out his wrath on head of the boy. Willy, despite his years, is a young giant in stature and strength. He did not understand who the stranger was. He had forgotten the tragedy of the snowball. One does not throw snowballs at a stranger in Russia. Willy had never been to Russia. But when Mysleski drew back his fist, Willy understood the immediate intention of his new-found foe. Willy struck first. It was a solar plexus. Mysleski crumpled in a heap. He died in a hospital. Willy was locked up, still ignorant of the original cause of his quarrel. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Hampton, Va., May 15.—At the big conference of experts interested in both education and labor held in Boston, Saturday, it was officially announced that one of the speakers, Prof. Paul H. Hanus, of the Harvard Department of Education would soon revise the educational system at Hampton Institute. Washington, D. C., May 17.—At the recent Sociological Congress held here, Dr. H. T. Landis, representing Phipps Institute, Philadelphia, a research institute for tuberculosis, paid a high tribute and compliment to the Colored nurses and doctors assisting in the work at that hospital. Their especial work was one of the main topics of discussion. The only colored delegate present at the congress was Dr. C. A. Lewis of Philadelphia. Hampton, Va., May 15.—Allen Washington of Hampton Institute has been chosen successor to Major R. R. Moton as commandant of cadets. He is a Hampton graduate and has been an officer since final graduation, is treasurer of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, and financial secretary of the Hampton Institute Alumni Association. He is a thorough drillmaster and tacticism. New York, May 10.—The will of Mrs. Ellen S. James, who died on April 28, the widow of D. Willis James, disposes of an estate of more $3,000,000 goes to religious, charitable and educational institutions. The dead woman's colored coachman and groom were not left out of her charity. She bequeathed to each of them the sum of $3,000, to her butler she left $1,000. The latter, however, died before Mrs. James and it has not yet been decided just what disposition will be made of this bequest, finally. St. Louis, Mo.—Because she refused to allow him to administer gas or to pay for services which he had not rendered, Mrs. Earl Johnson, 3136 Pine street, had to be rescued from the office of a white dentist, one Dr. Hutchinson, at the corner of Market and Jefferson streets. The dentist locked his operating room door, but Mrs. Johnson called for help. Miss Arbella Payne, 3020 Laclede avenue, had accompanied and was waiting in the reception room. Hearing her friend's cries, and finding the door locked, Miss Payne ran outside and telephoned for a police officer. The officer forced Dr. Hutchinson to open his door and release Mrs. Johnson Mrs. Johnson declined to have the NO dentist arrested, not wishing to incur the notoriety which would ensue. Eleven Negro graduates of reputable dental colleges have been licensed by the state of Missouri and are practicing their profession in St. Louis. Colored women are never subjected to such humiliating experiences by professional men of the race. Atlanta, Ga.—There is admittedly a too high rate of illiteracy among the whites and the Negroes in Georgia. It has been discovered in a recent inquiry that there are thousands of adults of both races in the state who have never known how to read or write. Georgia is ashamed of this, but, wisely, is rather exposing than concealing the deplorable fact. Recently there have been conferences of state and local educationalists in which plans have been formulated with the view of wiping out the disgrace at the earliest possible moment. Wherever the local authorities show a disposition to support the movement against illiteracy, the State Board of Education will co-operate. Certain other of the southern states in recent years have been called upon to meet and solve a similar problem. In the mountain and remoter agricultural districts in the South illiteracy among whites has always been prevalent. Only in recent years have the southern states possessed the means of dealing adequately with the question. White illiteracy does not seem to decrease and the present effort is to bring this within bounds. LANKFORD RUNS FOUL OF HURST AND HAWKINS. Philadelphia, Pa.—A sensational incident occurred Monday at the A. M. E. general conference when John A. Lankford is alleged to have called Bishop John Hurst "a dirty scoundrel," and John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination, "a dirty cur," with the added announcement that he could "knock daylight" out of the latter. Hawkins retorted that he would stop Lankford for all time if he assaulted him, and friends stepped between the men. It is said that Lankford, who is an architect with offices in Jacksonville, Fla., wanted to be elected official architect for the demonination. Mr. Hawkins opposed this on the ground that it may involve the denomination in lawsuits about salary, even if Lankford did now claim one. Bishop Hurst is also said to have been opposed to making him official architect. Lankford then became angry and used the above quoted remarks.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN Judge Kinney, After Hearing Evidence Decides that Claimant Was Not Widow of Stratton. Western Newspaper Union News Service Colorado Springs.—The case of Mrs. Sophia Gertrude Chellew, who several years ago started suit for half of the estate of Winfield Scott Stratton, late multimillionaire mining king, was thrown out of court by County Judge W. P. Kinney at the conclusion of several days of evidence. He declared his decision that the claimant was not the widow of Stratton, according to the testimony given by witnesses. His specific findings were: That from Dec. 21, 1873, to Jan. 2, 1874, Stratton was in or near Colorado Springs, and not in Texas, where Mrs. Chellew claims he was. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West That A. N. Poor, first husband of Mrs. Chellew, died in 1875, and that therefore the claimant was Mrs. Poor at the time she claims to have married Stratton: That the claimant was not married to Stratton Jan. 1, 1874, in Texas, as set forth in her complaint. Judge Kinney's decision ends the suit as far as his court is concerned unless an appeal is taken, which is not expected. Ruby Tungsten Mines Sold.

Holtzclaw, princi- pal of the Utica Normal and Industrial institute, Utica, Miss., writes: I have read your editorial of No- vember 15, entitled, “Booker T. Wash- ington's Field.” I have found it very interesting, but there are some points in it which I feel ought to be ampli- tied, to say the least. It is for this reason that I venture to write you this letter. For instance, you make a compari- son between the Northern Negro and the Southern Negro, and you state that the southern’s Negro’s progress in 60 years has not been relatively commensurate with that of the North- ern Negro during the half century of his freedom. You were kind enough however, to give some very valuable reasons for this. The facts which I have at my command, however, and which can be had from the United States census, convince me that tak- ing everything under consideration, the Southern Negro's progress during the past 60 years has far surpassed that of even the Connecticut Negro of whom you speak. We ought not overlook the fact that the Southern Negro is making progress under tre- mendous difficulties—among them 1s the matter of education. The Con- necticut Negro has paid, on the edu- cation of each of his children, out of public funds, for any given year, more than 15 times as much as we Negroes of the far South receive per capita. Besides, he has educational facill- ties. For 50 years the Negroes have had here in the South the poorest kind of opportunities to educate them- selves—school terms being from three to five months in length, and the cot- ton fields taking up the remainder of the time of our children. Besides, when they do attend school, the fa- cilities are often so poor that it is al- most equal to no school at all. It requires a boy 26 years to complete common school course under the cir- cumstances. There is often no more than the wreck of a log cabin with no heating apparatus, and but the noor- est improvised blackboards, and little ‘ar no protection from the elements. The teacher presiding over such a school is often paid as low as $10 a month (that is the case in my own county) for five months, and out of which she has to pay not less than $7 @ month for board. If this sounds extravagant, I have only to invite your attention to the latest annual report of the superintendent of education of this state and Louisiana. It cannot be expected under such conditions that the Negroes will make satisfactory progress. But this fs not the worst. There are, according to the United States census, about 2,000,000 Negro children in the South who cannot get into even the poor schools that I have just men- tioned. That is to say 52 per cent of the Negro children of the South, ac cording to the United States census, attend no school at all. Methodists who sought to have col- ored bishops provided for work among the colored people failed to receive the sanction of the annual conferences of the Methodist Episcopal church, the affirmative vote failing to reach the necessary two-thirds, Announcement of the total conference vote was made by Dr. Joseph H. Hingeley, secretary of the general conference of the Meth- odist Episcopal church. The plan was known as the Mississippi proposition Representative L. C.

Mr. Dyer said he would do all he could to further this movement by an appropriation by congress, and pledged ‘the support of the Spanish war veterans, of which he is com- manding chief. Representative H. Martin Williams, who was master of tie ceremonies, made a short address, in which he stated that he was for peace, and that he hoped this country would never be in another war.

The vote, as compiled by Doctor Hingeley, was: Total vote of the conferences, 8,402. Necessary two-thirds for adoption, 5,601. Total affirmative vote, 4,921. Total negative vote, 3,481. The proposition failed of adoption by 680 votes. ‘The vote of the laymen on the prop- osition was: Yeas, 3,300; nays, 2,425. Necessary for adoption of the propost- tion, 3,816 votes. The Wilmington proposition, giving bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church in constitutional matters the right of veto, which was submitted to the annual conferences by the general conference of 1912, was lost by a ma- jority of 1,571 ministers and 960 lay- men. The Colorado proposition, granting honorary ‘privileges to retired minis- tere and absentee voting on constitu- tional matters, had a majority of 2,012 ministers and 818 laymen. These priv- ileges will be granted and will become law by favorable action by the general conference at Saratoga Springs May 1.

Utilities Commission to Issue Order, But Board Will Not Require Railroads to Build Fences. Western Newspaper Union News Service, Denver—Objections to the issu- ance of an order by the State Utili- ties Commission providing for - the construction of uniform standard grade crossings at all public high- ways in the state and preparation of sketches of the crossings for filing were made by the engineers repre- senting the railroads affected by the Proposed order at the conference of the engineers with D. S. Hooker, en- gineer of the commission, The engl- neer declared that the expense of such work would be too great for the railroads. The commission, however, is pre- paring to issue an order for uniform grade crossings. The total cost, it is estimated by Engineer Hooker, will be less than $1,250,000, The commission intends that this expense be spread over a number of years. In an estimate of the cost of the Preparation of sketches of the cross- ings the railroad engineers gaye the cost at $12 per crossing, while Mr. Hooker showed that the maximum cost would be $2 per crossing. The commission will consider and Pass upon specific complaints made by stockmen for the fencing of par- ticular parts of rights of way of rail- roads as a means of protection of cat- de and of the lives of passengers of trains, but will not issue a blanket order compelling all the railroads to fence all their rights of way. This was the substance of a decision an- nounced by the utilities body in the case brought by the livestock asso- clations of the state asking that the commission compel the railroads “to fence all their rights of way. The decision of the commission was announced after the receipt of an opinion from the attorney general up- on interpretation of the laws in volved. Opposition to Proposed Herd Law. Reports from practically every part of the state, made at a meeting of the livestock and agricultural bureau of the Civic Association in Denver, show a determined and spirited op- position to the so-called herd law for which initiative petitions are being circulated, The report cites that all stockmen have always used the pub- lic commons and that farmer have fenced their growing crops to keep the stock out, which was legalized in the present fence law. ‘The first sec- tion of the proposed law, which de clares that “the owner, person in possession or caretaker of any do mestic animals, shall hereafter be li- able for all injury done by such do mestic animal or animals,” is de clared to be the meat of the whols bill. lnuar Shipments (ehow inoeakee.

You Save A Doliar. FEARFUL CARNAGE MARKS THE DRIVE OF BAVARIANS IN DEATH GRAPPLE. \MPORTANT STRONGHOLD LosT BY FRENCH AFTER SERIES OF FURIOUS ATTACKS. SCs SAC no a ye ee ree Paris, May 25—The Germans have re-occupied Fort Douaumont, while ‘he French hold the immediate ap- groach to that position. This announcement is made in the official communication issued by the French war office which says two new divisions of Bavarians effected the re- capture after a series of furious at- tacks. The battle around Verdun continues to rage with a violence un- exampled even in this region, The text of the statement reads: “On the left bank of the Meuse the Infantry action continued east of Le Mort Homme. Several times our ar- tillery fire stopped the enemy, who had attempted to debouch from the village of Cumieres. During the at- ternoon a spirited counter attack en- abled us to retake trenches situated on the southern outskirt of the vil- lage. On the right bank the bombard- ment was redoubled in the region of Fort Douaumont, on which the enemy had particularly set himself. Furious attacks with two Bavarian divisions, newly arrived on this front, succeeded each other all day. After several fruitless attempts and enormous losses, the enemy succeeded in reoc- cupying the ruins of the fort, Our troops hold the immediate approach. About the same time an attempt to fMank our positions in the Cailette wood completely failed under our fire.” Without full possession of the line from Pepper hill to Vaux fort the Ger- mans cannot hope to get any nearer to the capture of Verdun. Even if they succeeded in taking this line they could not hold ft unless they were also in possession of hill No 304, and Dead Man hill, which out flank the line, Driven to desperation by seeing so much of its work undone, the German commander hurled attack after attack against Fort Douaumont, At the same time it has kept up its onslaught on the left bank of the river to prevent the French transferring any forces to the main scene of attack.

Next Tuesday brings forcibly to us a reminder which is dual in form—the paying of respects to our dead heroes, which is fraught with the natural features of sadness and the impressiveness of our gain from the loss of their lives. The story is too well known for repetition herein, but we are glad to state that the celebration of the day has gone beyond the confines of war, and has filled the role of remining families and relatives of their departed loved ones whose existence here has left them many examples which have helped to mould and shape their present career. It is not giving the flowers to the dead, but it seems so timely and charitable that we should decorate the graves and tombs of those who have predeceased us, thereby showing our token of affection, and at the same time, affording us an opportunity for self-examination. WHO WILL TAKE THE INITIATIVE? On Monday, May 15, Waco, Texas, subscribed her name to the list of cities that show their form of appreciation of American liberty by their peculiar fondness for mob rule and lawlessness, inscribing their deeds in the hall of fame of barbarism and heathenism. A 16-year old Negro lad, after being convicted by the jury and sentenced to be hanged, was taken from the Fifth District court room last Monday week and burned on the public square in the presence of 15,000 persons, who cheered and jeered during the ghastly exhibition. We are further informed that even the young white children, on their way from school, joined the spectators in witnessing what they termed the "sportive event." It is clearly reasonable and specially to our mind, that mob rule has become an American institution, the pupils of which, after graduation, must at the earliest possible moment make a report of their success to their Alma Mater, and after getting the "well done good and faithful graduate," endeavor in competition to excel the inhuman deeds of the Colisium at home, of the past age on the barbaric acts of heathen lands. The city authorities have acknowledged their inability to suppress this beauty of their municipality;" the state sitting supinely by, loses its control conveniently over its subordinate, and from its lofty position cannot behold the reflection of savagery and inhumanity; the federal government, in spite of appeals year in and out from various sources, is entirely unmindful of the rise and fall of nations, of the result of internal unrest and the inevitable disintegration and disunion. City's inability, state's inconvenience, federal deafness will, shall and must find fertility in the human conscience, and when conscience, in consultation with nature, resolves to unshackle itself from such revolting actions, then will the bulwarks of freedom, founded upon the enactment and enforcement of just laws be extended to rich and poor, strong and weak, black and white alike. Who or what will take the initiative? Our reply is—the cries and appeals of the weak and distressed often become the INITIATIVE, which force the readjustment of evil conditions for the sake of the honor of those to whom they have delegated the power to make laws and see they are dispensed, and the continuous oppression from the greatest Republican country on earth, out of her charity (?) relieving the distressed abroad, rushing to the rescue of her neighbors, but calmly and contentedly awaiting a convenient season to attend to the vile and terrible wrongs that some of her citizens are undergoing, will find a ready response when the time is ripe from the hearts of 12,000,000 citizens. that will not be in the form of an appeal, but a demand that will eclipse that of 1776, and expose to the world the unreality and falsity of American democracy, which demand will help to humanize humanity, civilize civilization and Christianize Christianity in the land of the brave and the home of the free (?) America. IS IT ROOSEVELT OR HUGHES? Viewing the action of Republicans, Progressives and standpatters of the G. O. P. at a joint meeting held at the Brown Palace hotel Wednesday evening last, when an agreement to act together in the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt as the Republican candidate for the presidency at the national convention in Chicago next month, was entered into, and following closely the Rooseveltian idea that is being strengthened in so many states besides Colorado, we are compelled to say "it looks like Roosevelt." While Justice Hughes is being named by a few supporters, yet he realizes that the people's choice in Roosevelt, and to show his true position, he is reported as saying—"In my opinion Roosevelt is going to be nominated, so it makes it unnecessary to discuss anyone else." However, it is held by prominent Republican leaders that Colonel Roosevelt considers the platform to be adopted at Chicago of more importance to the party than the candidate to be named, and therefore, whoever he may be he must be strongly American or the Colonel will fight the ticket. Our position is our undivided and loyal support now as in the years gone by, to the candidate chosen, and the return of the Republican party to the management of the nation's affairs. Perhaps you don't want to play, or you think you're too old, or you say you've forgotten how! No one is too old, nor too stiff, no one "doesn't want to play," although there may be a few though there may be a few who think they've forgotten how. All the sorrows in life may be helped to be eliminated by some active form of play or pleasure. It is good for man to play and for the farmer most of all! You say that you do not need exercise, but that is a wrong impression, for your daily work tends to make you stiff and does not develop the fine, delicate muscles that bring ease, grace and bodily control. All active out-of-door games tend to this development. Why not play with your wife, with your children, with your neighbor and make the most of what there is in life for you? For an hour after supper take time to play tennis, baseball, volley ball or some form of amusement in which you are particularly interested. Your work will hold a keener joy for you, for you will have unconsciously acquired the attitude of play toward it. You can never take wealth nor material possessions with you when you leave this world, but you can give to it and gain from it much of pleasure in the pure enjoyment of the good and happy things of life. We were made to be happy, and the greatest material happiness comes through the enjoyment of some form of recreative sport, after a day of good work well done. Don't sit on the side lines and watch! Come into the open and play! Drop your work for a few moments every day and play with your children, for verily a little child shall lead you back into that long-forgotten kingdom of early joys and greatest of opportunities, your youth and all it held for you. All Manly Sports Should Be Encouraged BY DR. JESSE F. WILLIAMS, Columbia University Football and other manly sports involving the element of combat and emotional excitement should be encouraged as preparation for war. From the standpoint of biology and ethnology, man, as Doctor Crile has said, has a "kinetic" equipment for war, developed by the innumerable centuries during which he had to fight for his own life and the life of his mate and children. Now as civilization has more and more deprived man of the need to fight he has devoted more time and attention to the games which are substitutes for war in that they involve a vigorous struggle and in their sublimation offer an opportunity for the formation of habits and ideals of a kind which may effectively fight for personal and social ideals. It is important, also, to remember that these games approaching war, involving a large element of personal danger, appeal most strongly to normal human instincts. There are those who see in football, even as those who see in war, only horrors and debasements. Such individuals are unable to see any values in the sacrifice of material interests for the sake of high ideals, of personal and individual elements for the good of the group. Now games and athletic contests will give the essential virtues which may be achieved by war. Doctor Cannon of the department of physiology of Harvard university has shown from the standpoint of internal secretions and the emotions why games and athletics serve the body in the preservation of the warlike virtues. This scientific work on the physiological side shows how insignificant gymnastic drill is, because of its lack of the necessary emotional re-enforcement. New Yorkers Make Milk Supply Safe By JULIUS HORTVET, Member of United States Joint Committee on Food Standards All milk should be graded and sold under its proper label. All grades which contain over 100,000 bacteria a cubic centimeter should be permitted to be sold only as "raw milk." Pasteurization is defined as subjecting milk to not less than 145 degrees Fahrenheit for not less than thirty minutes. This process should be carried on under the supervision of local and state health officials. Pasteurized milk should be divided into three grades: First, that which contains not more than 200,000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter before pasteurization and not more than 10,000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter when delivered to the consumer. Second, that which contains not more than 1,000,000 bacteria a cubic centimeter before pasteurization nor more than 50,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter when delivered to the consumer. Third, that which should be restricted in its use to cooking and manufacturing purposes only. Such milk should not contain more than 1,500,000 bacteria a cubic centimeter before pasteurization and not more than 300,000 after pasteurization. These are the New York rules. Under them New Yorkers know when their milk is safe. Desire to Live Has Lesson for Mankind By REV. SCOTT R. HYDE, Pastor of First Methodist Church, Winona, Wash. To live is the common desire of men. Much of our modern life is lived on the low plane of mere physical existence. Christ came to set over against this low view of life the possibilities view of life the possibilities which inhere in the higher spiritual life of the soul. The spiritual must ever be the master of the physical. It is just here that we discover life's secret. Our failure to put the emphasis where it belongs accounts for our extreme materialistic tendencies, which threaten the overflow of faith and the loss of the higher virtues of life. Much of our modern life is a mere surface existence. It is time we paused in our mad rush for material gain and seriously ask ourselves, "For what are we living; what is it that makes life worth while, if it is not a spiritual aim?" Where many employees report daily for work and ever so many continually arrive late, what are the results? The latter may vary, but to my knowledge gen- To be reliable here, there and everywhere will, as a general rule, distinguish one as a person of one's word. It is never too late to start. May all who read this endeavor to see how proxn't they can be, instead of tardy, at all affairs.

Moton, the principal-elect of Tuskegee Institute and successor to Dr. Booker T. Washington, has spoken to thousands of white and colored people during the past twenty-five years on the value of testing eduction by results and promoting kindly feeling between the races. Three of his striking addresses have been reprinted, under the title of "Racial Good Will," 'by Hampton Institute, which trained Booker Washington and Robert Moton. Major Moton, so-called because he has been commandant of cadets at Hampton for nearly twenty-five years, stands for all that one can read into the words "Racial Good Will." He faces facts as they are. He realizes that race adjustments must be made in order to insure progress. He looks upon the nation as "God's great laboratory which is being used by the Creator to show the rest of the world, what it does not seem thoroughly to understand, that it is possible for all God's people, even the two most extreme types, the black and the white, to live together harmoniously and helpfully." He takes into account the wide ethnic differences in the races that are brought face to face in the South, but he also makes a twofold plea—have the Negro grasp firmly the elements of race consciousness, a high moral ideal, and intelligent industry; have white people act with patience in all matters of race relations. "Racial Good Will" is a document in which white and colored leaders will find a clear-cut, frank, convincing statement of what Dr. Washington's successor thinks on a wide range of timely and important subjects—race adjustment; morality as a race and national asset; industrial education; the color line; commonplace virtues (such as simplicity, self-respect, courage); Dr. Washington as a man and educator; the need of trained workers; segregation and what it means to the colored people; judging a race by one class; protection of Negro women; and racial cooperation in industry, health and education. Miss Maggie L. Harris won highest prize in a contest published in the Evening Herald of May 9th, but upon presentation of the $100 check received by mail which entitled her to a lot in a supposed restricted district, Miss Harris was informed that it was not known that she was colored, and was asked to give up the check, but she refused to obey since it was not stated in the paper that the contest was open only to white.

Telephone Standards Telephone Standards Forty years ago Alexander Graham Bell succeeded in transmitting the sound of the human voice over a wire; and while men scoffed at the invention and laughed the inventor to scorn Bell's imagination even then pictured the telephone in universal use. His was the master mind, that penetrated the future and visualized an ideal—One System, One Policy, Universal Service. Since then, time has developed certain standards—standards of plant construction, standards of equipment, standards of service efficiency. Standards of our duty to the public have existed from the beginning of time; for they are founded on principles of equal justice and fair dealing. This means that our service must be as nearly perfect as human skill and ingenuity can make it, and that our rates must be fair, equitable, and as low as a fair return upon investment will permit. It means courteous consideration of the public's needs, and solving the problems growing out of such needs in the light of the best engineering and other expert skill which the art of telephony has developed. Such a policy commends itself to public favor, public respect and public confidence, without which no public utility can long exist. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co.

DECORATION day, day of flags, and flowers, and green, grass-covered graves. Decoration day, the time of sobs and tears, of prayers, and memories, and smiles. Decoration day! It comes only once a year, this brave holiday, on the boundary line between May and June, spring and summertime. Schools give a holiday and banks close. Business is shut up, and the tired workingman hangs a flag out over his porch, and rests. Old soldiers, tottering on canes, soldiers bent and white-headed, waiting for the last "tape" to be sounded, get out their suits of blue and gray, covered with tarnished gold lace and brass buttons, and hobble to the cemetery to lay a wreath on some comrade's last resting place. It is a beautiful thing to think of a nation celebrating a day—setting it apart from all others—for the purpose of honoring the nation's heroes. I was sitting in a trolley car when a lady entered a woman no longer very young, with a pale, sorrowful face. She wore expensive black, and her two carefully gloved hands held a huge dowy mass of roses. Like an oasis in a desert they filled the dusty city air with sweetness and color. In a little while a small newsboy dragged himself up the step and presented a grimy transfer to the conductor. "I found it," he confided loudly to a man seated near the door. Then he tramped down the aisle, and climbed up on the seat next to the lady. "Them flow's are swell," he told her in a soft, wondering tone of voice. "I never saw any like 'em before." Reverently he touched the nearest blossom with moist, grimy fingers. The lady moved down on the seat, putting several feet of space between herself and the small intruder. "Don't touch them!" she ordered grossly. Several blocks farther on she got out, her arms full of her fragrant burden. With halting foosteps and tear-filled eyes, she turned in at a great marble-columned cemetery gate. She was taking her roses to lay on the grave of some loved dead one. I was sorry for the woman; but I could not help thinking of the little newsboy. He was very much alive, and a single flower would have meant paradise to him. I know a girl who had a very dear friend—a friend who meant more to her than I could possibly put into words. One day, the friend died and left her plunged in grief. A year after, the dead girl's birthday came around, and the day before the anniversary I happened to meet my friend on the street. We went to tea together. I did not speak to the absent one, but suddenly, as we sat quietly gazing out of the window, the girl began to talk. "Margaret," she said, "something has been bothering me. I want to ask you if I'm doing right." "Perhaps I won't help any. I'm not so good at advice—but go on." "You see, it's this way," she told me. "Tomorrow is Alice's birthday—the first birthday when we haven't been together for ten years. I had earned five dollars—it seemed more personal that way—and I was going to buy flowers for her grave. I was just on my way to the florist to order them when I met a woman I know—a woman who used to wash for us. Margaret, you should have seen her. Her eyes were large and black and her cheeks were perfectly hollow. I asked her what was the matter, and she said she was hungry. Hungry? She was starving! And so were the three children that belonged to her! Well, I told her that I would find some work for her today, and then I gave her all the money I had. It was only after she had left me that I remembered Alice's flowers—I can't get them now. Do you think that she'll mind—very much?" "Mind?" I groped blindly for words, "Mind? Of course not! She would be glad and thankful if she only knew." Do you think so too, friends of mine? One day this week I felt rather blue and unhappy. It was a dark, gloomy day, with a biting wind coming around the bleak corners and a heavy rain that fell drenchingly to the ground—a steady downpour of big splashing drops. Somehow the world inside my office seemed very lonely and gray. I had a headache, my work had been going badly and I was rather discouraged. When the mail came in—a big package of letters to be opened—I was not much cheered. But my special guardian angel was on duty that day. When I cut the first envelope, I found a plain little letter, written in pencil on cheap paper, by an unknown lady old enough to be my grandmother. But the words, lightly written in an old-fashioned hand, fell across my heart like a ray of golden sunshine, through the grayness of the rain. "Dear Friend," read the letter, "I have been seeing your pieces in the Christian Herald for some time, and I made up my mind to write to you. Some people believe in keeping their kind words and their flowers and their love until a person is dead. But I don't. I want you to know, right now, that you've cheered me up lots of times, and that I like your stories and that I like you." Now, I don't want you to think that I am disapproving of Decoration day. The world is stupid enough and matter-of-fact enough to forget easily the heroes who lie in our cemeteries. But we should consider the living, too. Let us place roses over the little green mounds, but don't let us overlook the pleading child-hands that are stretched out for their sweetness. While we honor the memory of those beautiful spirits that have passed from us, let us not forget the living, breathing souls that need our help. It is not necessary to save all the flowers, the kind words and the kisses until lips and hearts and minds are cold and dead.—Margaret E. Sangster, Jr., in the Christian Herald. UNITY OF NATION PROVED Great Southerner Long Ago Pointed Out How Complete Has Been Its Restoration. From an address delivered by Henry wrote a memorial cemetery, Nashville, Tenn., Decorated by the family. We are assembled, my countrymen, to commemorate the patriotism and valor of the brave men who died to save the Union. The season brings its tribute to the scene; pays its homage to the dead; inspires the living. There are images of tranquillity all about us; in the calm sunshine upon the ridges; in the tender shadows that creep along the streams; in the waving grass and grain that mark God's love and bounty; in the flowers that bloom over the many graves. There is peace everywhere in this land today. streams, Peace where'er our starry banner gleams, And peace in every breeze. The war is over. It is for us to bury its passions with its dead; to bury them beneath a monument raised by the American people to American manhood and the American system, in order that "the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth." The Union is, indeed, restored when the hands that pulled down that flag come willingly and lovingly to put it up again. I come with a full heart and a steady hand to salute the flag that floats above me—my flag and your flag—the flag of the free heart's hope and home—the star spangled banner of our fathers—the flag that, uplifted triumphantly over a few brave men, has never been obscured, destined by the God of the universe to waft on its ample folds the eternal song of freedom to all mankind, emblem of the power on earth which is destined to exceed that on which it was said that the sun never went down. IMPRESSING YOUNG AMERICA PHOTO BY FRANK TOURNIER Experience does not show that the strength of the domestic affections is impaired by the long separations unavoidably incident to war. On one occasion a private soldier said to General Thomas: "General, I want to go home and see my wife." "How long is it since you have seen her?" asked the general. "Over three months." "Three months," replied Thomas. "Why, I haven't seen my wife for three years." "That may be so," admitted the soldier, "but, you see, general, my wife and me ain't that sort." THE REVEILLE Hark! I hear the tramp of thousands, And of armed men the hum; Lo! a nation's hosts have gathered Round the quick alarming drum— Saying, "Come, Freemen, come! Ere your heritage be wasted," said the quick alarming drum. "Let me of my heart take counsel: War is not of life the sum; Who shall stay and reap the harvest When the autumn days shall come? But the drum Death shall reap the braver harvest, "But when won the What of profit she What if conquest, she Even greater ills But the drum Answered, "C You must do the sum to prove it," "What if, 'mid the Whistling shot and When my brothers f Should my heart But the drum Answered, "C Better there in death united, than in Death shall reap the braver harvest," said the solemn-sounding drum Better there in death united, than in life a recreant—Come!" Thus they answered—hoping, fearing, Some in faith, and doubting some, Till a trumpet-voice proclaiming, Said, "My chosen people, come!" Then the drum, Lo! was dumb, For the great heart of the nation, throbbing, answered, "Lord, we come!" —BRET HARTE. LITTLE LEFT OF OLD APPOMATTOX SOLDIERS of 1865 who revisit the town of Appomattox find that the half-century which has done so much for their country has done nothing for the hamlet made famous by the great event of Lee's surrender. Indeed, the place has gone backward in fifty years. Its houses have fallen into decay or have disappeared, and its fields have grown up to pine. The village of Appomattox Courthouse was never a considerable settlement. Like many another county seat in the South, it had its origin in a courthouse, a jail, a tavern, a house or two and a blacksmith shop—a center to which the inhabitants of a rural district could come at intervals to transact legal business. A visitor to Appomattox Courthouse today—or "old Appomattox," as it is now called in that neighborhood—must be disappointed, unless he has the faculty of visualizing the momentous events that took place there, and near there, in April, 1865. The court building had then stood there half a century. About 1890 it was burned. Today the square in which the old courthouse stood is covered with the debris of the fire, but out of the wreckage trees have grown up as companions to those that shaded the old courthouse before the fire. The village that clustered around the courthouse has nearly disappeared. Four old frame structures have survived fire, storm and neglect, but these are sagging and out of joint and seem soon to pass away. One or two of these houses are tenantless. The tavern, once the Appomattox hotel, is the home of a farmer and the overseer of about 1,500 acres of adjacent land now owned by Col. George A. Armes, a retired officer of the United States army, who lives in Washington. Another house is occupied by a small farmer who has not dwelt long in that part of the state. The Surrender house, the McLean house, in which General Grant and his staff met Lee and his military secretary, is not there. It was a broad-fronted brick house with a covered porch across the front, with the entrance in the middle and a hallway through the center. The house was torn down in 1892. It was proposed to reconstruct it at the World's Fair in Chicago, but after the demolition of the house the plan was carried no further, presumably for lack of funds. The piles of brick and lumber that had been the house are rotting in the garden. There has been some talk of a patriotic society building the house on its old site. An interesting personal story goes with the history of the Surrender house. It was the home of William McLean, who had moved to Appomattox from the vicinity of Bull Run, to avoid the scenes of war that destroyed the peace and safety of his family in 1861. McLean was a farmer, then living in a frame house near Manassas on the road leading to Blackburns Ford, on Bull Run. July 18 the first fighting between the troops of Gen. Irwin McDowell and Gen. G. T. Beauregard took place at that ford, and General Beauregard took up his headquarters in the McLean house. A shell from a Union battery struck the house. After the battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861, McLean and his family moved to upper Fauquier county. He next moved to Lunenburg county. War followed him. Then, declaring that he would S me! ' said the solemn-sounding drum. coming battle, springs therefrom? objugation, become?" some! said the Yankee-answering drum. cannons' thunder, d bursting bomb, all around me, grow cold and numb?" some! life a recreant—Come!" take his family so far from the fighting grounds that war would not further trouble them, he rented a house in the hamlet of Appomattox. Fate made this house the Surrender house. The McLean house near Manassas long ago was a ruin, but another house near it, which Beauregard also used as headquarters, is often erroneously pointed out as the McLean house. McLean's son—J. Wilmer McLean—is a business man in Manassas—a hamlet that since the war has grown into a thriving town. The table in the McLean house at Appomattox on which the articles of surrender were written is in the National museum at Washington. The flag of truce under which the negotiations between Grant and Lee were conducted is also there, having been loaned to that institution by the widow of George A. Custer. Colonel Whittaker of Grant's staff, who carried the flag, lives in Washington and is expected to take part in the celebration at Appomattox. Maj. George C. Rounds of Manassas, a Civil war veteran, resident since the war at Manassas, who promoted the Blue and Gray reunion on the field of Bull Run, has promoted the coming fraternal celebration at Appomattox. Major Rounds has been urging upon the war department and congress for years the desirability of converting the battlefields of Bull Run into a national park. He also takes a keen interest in the future of Appomattox Courthouse. On the surrender ground is now a dense pine growth, in which is the only important monument at Appomattox. It was erected by North Carolina, April 9, 1905. Though the Appomattox Courthouse village of the Civil war period has practically disappeared, there is a new and thriving town called Appomattox, which is now the county seat of Appomattox county. It is three miles from old Appomattox and is on the Norfolk & Western railroad. During the Civil war there was a siding on this railroad called Appomattox station. It was here that Custer with his cavalry division got in front of Lee. The place has grown to be the town which today is called Appomattox. When the old court building was destroyed by fire, the courthouse was re built at Appomattox station.

A LIVING IN VIOLETS Two thousand dollars was the amount netted two young women last year who raised violets for the New York market. The girls started in four years ago with a capital of less than $50 and about as little experience as girls who have lived in the country all their lives could have about anything growing. Their first investment was 12 unglazed hotbed sashes, 3 by 6 feet, at 70 cents a sash. They glazed them themselves at a cost of $19. They started their experiment in the fall and devoted their evenings to studying up varieties. They determined to choose the Marie Louise, as it was of the double varieties most popular in the New York market, and beside the Lady Hume Campbell, the only double variety suited for commercial growing. Early in March they invested $10 in cuttings of the Marie Louise and began work in earnest. Following the advice of a successful grower of violets they potted these cuttings in 2-inch pots in a mixture of one well-rotted manure to three parts garden soil. Besides mixing thoroughly, the soil was sifted to free it from lumps. The pots were then set in a frame in the garden and covered with four of the sashes. There were about a thousand pots in all, but unfortunately the cuttings were very poor. While waiting for the cuttings to root they built the frame into which they were to be permanently set. This frame was only a rough box, 6 feet wide by 36 long, 12 inches deep in the back and half as much in front. The frame was placed in a fertile spot in the garden. Over the surface of the soil they spread well-rotted stable manure to the depth of 3 or 4 inches. It required all of their spare time for a month to get the soil to their satisfaction. About the middle of April they selected the largest cuttings for planting first, leaving the small plants for the last. Knocking them carefully out of the pots, they set them in the frame 8 inches apart in 6-inch rows. They soon discovered that they had only room for about one-half the cuttings. The young women built another frame and set the last of their young plants. The first summer there was the red spider to fight against. July and August found them very busy syringing the plants. It was a difficult task, as the stream must be kept down low enough to strike the leaves underneath and turn them completely over. About the middle of September the plants began to bloom, and although they kept the blossoms closely picked they did not attempt to sell them until the first week in October. They allowed the florist in their home town to have all their blossoms at the rate of 40 cents a hundred in October and 55 cents a hundred in November. In October they built their first greenhouse. It was 60 by 20 feet, and helping with the work they managed to reduce the cost of the first estimate of $80 to $65. Early in November the plants were lifted from the frame and set in beds in this greenhouse, and so well was the work done that none of the plants stopped blooming. At Christmas nearly 4,000 blossoms were picked and were sold for ninety cents a hundred. During May the young women began preparations for their second season by putting in a second thousand young plants. To save the trouble and expense of moving them in the autumn they marked out beds as they would be when the new greenhouse was complete, and after setting up the posts of the house, put out the violets. The shades were stretched over these posts, and aside from this and giving them water when rain failed to come often enough they received almost no attention until September, when the new house was completed. The violets bloomed so profusely that the young women were advised to have their violet beds photographed and samples of their flowers sent with the pictures to some of the big florists in New York. They did so, with the result that one of the largest concerns in New York sent one of its representatives to see the young women and arrangements were made to take all the blooms at the rate of $1 a hundred for all sent during November, $2 for December, and $1 for January and February, and 75 cents for the rest of the season. The offer was accepted and the young women have continued to ship their blooms to this firm. THE CULTURE OF CINERARIAS By G. GEOFRY. In the culture of the cineraria the one mistake so often made is that of sowing the seed too soon. The plants thus raised, more often than not, make a rank growth; this is not in any sense desirable. By sowing in May or June, plants large enough for all decorative purposes can be had. In after treatment the aim should be to secure as hardy growth as possible. Cineraria is one of the most useful and ornamental of plants, with flowers of the richest and most brilliant colors and shades and of the finest textures. For succession, it is well to make sowings of the seed from May to September, but the main sowing in July. The cineraria is a very fine plant for the conservatory and for house decoration. The coloring of this plant endears it to growers; there are the lovely and rare cornflower-blue tints in profusion, rich crimson and blood red in many varieties, deep rose and shell pink, and a wonderful combination of pink and light blue shades. There is also a lovely single pure white variety that is worth considering for your all-white bed. SIX INJURED IN STORM AT YUMA ONLY ONE SERIOUSLY HURT IN TWISTER THAT DAMAGED TOWN $100,000. MANY HOMES WRECKED EIGHTEEN KILLED IN TERRIFIC STORM THAT WIPED OUT OKLAHOMA TOWN. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Yuma, Colo.—Six persons were injured, one of whom may die, nearly a score of buildings in the business section were wrecked or badly damaged, many homes partly destroyed and more than $100,000 damage was done by a cyclone that swept Yuma Saturday afternoon. The storm arose from the southwest. It raced onto Yuma without an instant's warning. It caught its victims in business houses, at their homes, in the fields, driving in motor cars, buggies or wagons and walking the streets of the little town, which never before had experienced a storm so violent. The tornado also visited Brush. There is a probability, however, of only one death, Benjamin Meckelburg, a wealthy farmer, is the only person injured whose condition is considered critical. Meckelburg has a broken back and is in an extremely serious condition. He was caught beneath a garage wall that the storm demolished. H. E. Greer, who was buried under three feet of brick, is not seriously hurt, in the opinion of physicians at Yuma. The progress of the four other injured was reported Monday as satisfactory. Denison, Tex.-At least eighteen persons were killed in a terrific wind and rain storm which passed over the section just north of Denison. The town of Kemp, Okla., two miles north of the Red river, is reported wiped out. Most of the deaths are said to have occurred at Kemp. One child was killed a mile north of Denison. At Woodward, Okla., more than a score of persons were injured when a Chautauqua tent was blown down. Mrs. H. B. Peebles probably will die from injuries to her head. PROGRESSIVES NAME DELEGATES C. P.

Attorneys Given 45 Days to Make Application for New Trial—Case May Go to Supreme Court. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Boulder, Colo., May 24.—Rienzi C. Dickens was found guilty of the second degree murder of his father, William H. Dickens, wealthy Longmont banker and pioneer builder. The verdict carries with it a sentence of from ten years to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. The jury retired late Monday night and began balloting on Rienzi's fate. Attorneys for Rienzi Dickens were granted 45 days in which to file a motion for a new trial, and if this is denied are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court in the bitter fight to free Rienzi. When the verdict was read, the defendant's wife, who had been at his side constantly during the trial, shrieked and went into hysterics. Within fifteen minutes after the verdict, Mrs. Dickens collapsed completely and was carried to her hotel. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Foremost in the efforts to stop the cries of the little woman was Rienzi Dickens himself. He received the verdict with utter calm—almost apparent indifference. Then, without flinching, he arose and began to comfort his wife. Mrs. William H. Dickens, wife of the murdered man and active in her son's defense, was not in the room when the verdict was read. Mrs. Walter C. Coulehan, sister of the defendant, and Mrs. Jack Dickens, sister-in-law, broke down as did his wife.

Dickens occurred the night of Nov. 30, last. He sat resting, alternately dozing and reading, in the library of his luxurious home in Longmont. It was about 8 o'clock. His wife, who came west with him thirty years ago and fought the fight with him from poverty to wealth, had just entered the room and taken a seat across from him at the reading table when a bullet came crashing through the window. It plowed its way through the aged banker's body, and buried itself in the wall. A fragment strayed from the copper jacket and cut open the cheek of Mrs. Dickens. Mr. Dickens fell to the floor unconscious and died in his wife's arms four minutes later.

There were many theories advanced and many clews, followed in the succeeding days. Officers racing to Longmont in an automobile from Colorado Springs with bloodhounds eight hours after the murder passed a man driving an exhausted horse toward Denver and he was traced by the officers until they became convinced that he could not have been the assassin.

A number of the men who, through business association with the banker, had become his enemies, were investigated. A theory was offered that one of a gang known as the Bill DuBois gang in the early days of Longmont, practically wiped out by a vigilance committee commanded by William H. Dickens, had killed the banker in keeping with an oath of vengeance made at that time. All northern Colorado was aroused. Rewards were offered by the Dickens family. William H. Dickens, scornful of formalities, rough in speech and dress, was one of the most prominent citizens of the section, and the business and social ramifications of the Dickens family extended to every part of Boulder county. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction Learn of Rienzi's Purchase. The day of Dec. 2, two days after the murder, Patrolman McKinnon in Denver learned by accident that Rienzi Dickens had purchased a high power rifle and a box of shells from the Tritch Hardware Company Nov. 3. He ordered a Maxim silencer, which the store did not have in stock. It came to him in Longmont Nov. 15. The next day he was out at Empson's hill, five miles from his home, shooting at a target. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver The officers called Rienzi to the home of B. O. Smith, deputy sheriff the night of Dec. 2 and questioned him. Denials of the purchase of the rifle and of his automobile having been taken from his garage the night of the murder led to the investigation that uncovered the chain of circumstances on which a charge of murder was based. He was arrested the following morning and after being allowed to attend his father's funeral was taken to jail at Boulder. He was a prisoner thirty days and then was released on bonds of $27,500 furnished by his mother. His arrest split Boulder county in two factions—those who arrayed themselves with the Dickens family in declaring Rienzi Dickens incapable of the crime of parricide and those who refused to declare a faith in his innocence. The Dickens clan pledged its fortune of more than $500,000 to his cause. Detectives were hired to search out evidence that would clear him and point to some other as the guilty person. The detectives caused the arrest of Jack Endsley, range rider and roamer, and he was held in jail a week by Sheriff Buster THTHETH THT ttt ttt ttt TTT ttt ttt ttt ttt ttt ttt tt t+ ttt ot +) i ED : EN ; : ; 4 . . 4 A Wonlerful Hair Dressing and Grower - Be | A Wonterful Hatr Dressing and Grower. 3 B |“ onethousand Awents Wanted. “Good Mon P| oy Made."
