Seventeenth Annual Session Of National Negro Business League VOL. XX11. Westw Seventeenth Ann National Negro Tuskegee, Ala., June 5.—For forecasting the attendance at an annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, circumstances have never been more auspicious than they are this year. When the cohorts of Negro business men journey westward to Kansas City, Missouri, for the Seventeenth Annual Session which is to be held August 16, 17 and 18, 1916, they will find aaiting them "a royal welcome." During the month of August no less than four important organizations will hold their annual sessions in Kansas City, and this will help to make the conditions for attendance more encouraging than ever before. By each organization bringing its quota of visitors, the railroads will be in a position to concede the most liberal terms in the way of reduced fare and accommodations. Among the organizations which meet in Kansas City in August are the following: Missouri State Grand Lodge of Masons, the National Medical Association, the National Alliance of Postal Employes, and the National Negro Business League—with its affiliated bodies—The National Negro Press Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, The National Negro Insurance Association, The National Negro Retail Merchants' Association and the National Negro Bar Association. Kansas City is the pride of the Middle West. The white and colored people work together for the development of their city and by reason of this feeling of good will between the races, the colored people enjoy a prosperity along business and educational lines which is a source of inspiration to all who visit Kansas City. Since the first of the year the colored people of Kansas City have been discussing plans and forming preliminary organizations for the comfort and entertainment of the hundreds of visitors who will be their guests during the month of August. No small part of their attention is centering around the coming meeting of all of the National Negro Business League and our delegates may be assured a most cordial reception. Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, the popular and aggressive president of the Kansas City Local Negro Business League has written the most encouraging letters to the Secretary of the National League regarding the prospects for a successful meeting. --- COLORED MAN STARTLES AUTO WORLD—SOLVES THE GASOLINE PROBLEM Chattanooga, Tenn.—In Churchville lives a colored man who hopes to rival Henry Ford in cheapening transportation and by his own invention divert much of the flow of gasoline profits from Rockefeller's hoard of gold. Mythical as it may sound, he would replace gasoline with green-tinted water. And in the green tint is a powerful force—unpatented and unknown, 'tis said, save to the one Churchville man. W. B. Tarando, 309 Sharp avenue, Churchville, is a British subject; says he came to Chattanooga seven years ago from Kingston, Jamaica, and operates a small grocery store. The only history of what he claims as his invention is his assertion that he worked up the promised substitute for gasoline in his little crude laboratory. Three cents worth of his strange mixture is put into each gallon of water, the basic ingredient of the propelling liquid. G. W. Nixon, president of the Nixon Mining Drill Company, found the Churchville inventor, and has started to help him develop what may be great possibilities in the trade. Recently Mr. Nixon told the story to a newspaper man. He admitted that it sounded incredible, so offered a demonstration. Tarando was called and mixed a small quantity of the green-tinted liquid in a gallon of water. The mixture was poured into the gasoline tank of a six-cylinder Grant automobile—all traces of gasoline having been removed. Hugh Nixon took the wheel and a flying trip was made to Orchard Knob and back to the city. Fifteen and six-tenths miles were covered, and still the gauge showed that the gallon of propelling liquid was not exhausted. The automobile apparently speeded forward as though the best grade of gasoline was flowing into the multiple cylinders, but produced a different odor from its exhaust pipe. The strange, peculiar odor was entirely different from that of gasoline. Tarando, with sealed lips, is guarding his secret. Norfolk, Va.—Because of threats by white people and a failure of the police authorities to furnish adequate protection, 1,200 Negro longshoremen and truckmen employed at the Norfolk & Western piers at Lamberts Point have stopped work. A number of big freight vessels are tied up, waiting to be loaded, and a number have cargoes to be discharged. State Hist & Nut Hist Boices State House DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. JUNE 17. 1916 NOMINEES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY Charles E. Hughes Charles W. Fairbanks THE ABOVE ARE THE PORTRAITS OF CHARLES EVANS HUGHES, ex-justice of the United States Supreme Court and CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS former vice-president of the United States who were nominated by the Republican Convention Saturday, June 10, for President and Vice-President of the United States for the term 1917-1921. The former justice received $949½ out of a total of 987 votes, his nomination being almost unanimous while his running mate received 863. Born at Glen Falls, New York, 1862, the Hon. Hughes had an unusual career as a boy in school, which afterwards proved him to be one of the master minds of the great American Republic. As a lawyer he gained a much-coveted reputation and established such an impression on the people of New York that he was elected governor of the state twice—in 1906 and 1908. Fearless administrator, he was always successful in securing the best for the people, even though he had to contend with a hostile legislature, as he soon found them, yielding, after resorting to the people when difficulties were thrown in his way. He was credited with taking the leadership in the most radical legislation in New York, which brought about the most beneficial reforms, among them being the public utilities bill, a new insurance code, reorganization of the banking system, registration of the "lobbyists," an employers' liability law, suppression of race-track gambling, the 80-cent-gas bill and graduated inheritance tax. During President Taft's administration he was appointed Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, in 1910, and from that time to his resignation has given some notable decisions in conjunction with the other justices. The famous Oklahoma Jim Crow case and that of Leo Frank, two of the recent sensational cases, having had his opinion. In reply to Chairman Harding and delegates of the Republican convention, the Hon. Hughes said in part: "I stand for the firm and unflinching maintenance of all the rights of American citizens on land and sea. I stand for America that knows no anterior purpose and for a patriotism that is single and complete. Whether NATIVE or NATURALIZED, of whatever RACE or CREED, we have but one country and we do not for an instant tolerate any division of allegiance. Our preparation must be industrial as well as military." HON. CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS, more familiarly known to the American public as Vice President of the United States during the Roosevelt administration, is a native of Ohio. Of high scholarly attainments, he is accredited with being one of the most successful lawyers in the country and an orator of great recognition. Locating in Indianapolis, where he has an extensive practice, the Hon. Fairbanks interested himself in the welfare of city and state and became a great factor in Republican politics when he wrote the industrial plank in the platform of 1896. He was a staunch supporter of the late President McKinley, and a particular friendship between them lasted until the President's death. eH was an ardent advocate for protection of American products, as well as reciprocity agreements with other nations as to gain open markets for the United States in return to others. He stood for a firm, vigorous and dignified policy in our foreign relations, so that our interests would be safeguarded. These two characters, having established such reputations to the American people, need no further comment, but all THE COLORADO STATESMAN specially requests is that the liberty-loving, true, devoted, loyal people of Colorado prove their Americanism by giving to these men, who represent real Americans and who in upholding the ideals of America, stand firmly for the protection and preservation of its citizens, its industries, etc., a greater majority than has ever graced the election roll of our state. We carried Hon. Fairbanks in 1904 in our columns, placed him continuously before the people of the state and played our part in his being elected. This time, it is our privilege and pleasure to insert in our columns conspicuously the two Republican nominees, whose election as heads of the nation in November will restore the American prestige that is now lost to us. Our endorsement is ABSOLUTE, and, being the only, real, COLORED REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER in the state and one of the leading in the West, we intend to do our part in pushing this campaign with live-wire vigor to a successful issue, Coloradoans! See that you do your whole duty in the order of deep thinkers and ready doers. RACE NEWS Bell River, Minn.—Gus Boger, head bricklaying foreman for the Northern Construction Company, having completed the city power plant at Alex, is now erecting the Roman Catholic Church at Bell River, Minn. It is the largest church in northern Minnesota, taking 275,000 bricks. Gut reports good health and plenty of work, but he misses State street and its noise. Between 700 and 1,000 colored laborers have been brought to Cleveland, Ohio, from the South to work in the mills, and agents are at work to secure more, who will arrive in a short time. The colored men are regarded as more patient than white unionists as workers and are less liable to indulge in strikes, according to a labor agent interested in the rounding up of the Southerners. the session of the Grand Lodge of Texas opening here Tuesday, June 13. The building is already filled with tenants. Plans for the building were drawn by W. Sidney Pittman, the architect, and it was constructed at a cost of $80,000. The ground cost $36,000 giving a total valuation of $116,000. There are five stories with an auditorium, lodge rooms and offices, and with all the most modern improvements. It is of brick with white stone trimmings. The work was done by S. A. Harper, contractor. The five lodges in Dallas contributed $20,000. Officers of the grand lodge are: Dr. A. N. Prince of Sherman, grand chancellor, and M. M. Rodgers of Dallas, grand keeper of records and seal. Wichita Falls, Texas.—Lee Welch of this city was the only Negro student in a class numbering more than four hundred at Armour Institute, Chicago, taking an electrical engineer course. Young Welch was awarded a scholarship offered by a Chicago syndicate, having made the highest general grade average for the year. He is the son of Harrison Welch, a well-known citizen of Wichita Falls. Preceding the inaugural address of Major Moton on Commencement Day, a bronze bust of Dr. Booker T. Washington was presented to the Institute by Dr. William J. Schieffelin, Trustee of New York, which was purchased by the trustees from the sculptor, Miss Leila Usher, of New York City. Only two such busts have been carved by the sculptor, the other having been bought and presented by friends to Hampton Institute, Virginia. The one presented to Tuskegee Institute will occupy a permanent place in the Institute Chapel. The bust is life size and bears a striking resemblance to the late Principal of the Institute.—Tuskegee Student. Baton Rouge, La.—The Negroes of Louisiana have scored another victory along the line of equal accommodations on the railroads. The accommodations given the Colored patrons throughout the state has been very undesirable in every way. The railroad commission for the state was in session at Baton Rouge recently, so a commission of the representative Negroes of the state went before the august body for the specific purpose of asking for better accommodations throughout the state of Louisiana on all railroads. The commission heard the committee and after their argument ruled that all Louisiana railroads must provide equal accommodations for Negroes within 60 days which is a decided victory for the Negroes of the state. Dallas, Texas.—The new temple erected by the Knights of Pythias at the corner of Elm and Good streets was completed last week and the dedication services will be held during NO 44 the session of the Grand Lodge of Texas opening here Tuesday, June 13.

Anderson, supervisor of a branch of the Department of Agriculture of the state of New York that has to do with the inspection of dairy, poultry and garden products, and the bonding of the promoting companies to observe the law, holds one of the most responsible positions ever occupied by a member of the race in this country. His dealings are almost exclusively with the whites, and his tact and mastery of the art of diplomacy enables him to get along happily with both the farmer and the legal fraternity for whom he acts as a connecting link in bringing produce and the people together. Mr. Anderson has not lost sight of politics—he could not do so if he would. He is once again the actual leader of his election district and is keeping pace with the newer developments of political science. He wisely says: The man who essays to stay in politics must keep up to the minute and adjust himself to the things that are. He who clingeth to the old order when the new has the call, will be broken on the wheel." THE GEORGIA BAR AND LYNCHING. The Georgia Bar Association held its annual meeting last week at Tybee Beach. George W. Owens of Savannah, the president aroused much interest by his severe criticism of those who brought the State into disrepute. As a remedy he recommended that there be a change in the laws of the State so that a person could be indicted for taking part in lynchings in a county other than that in which the crime was committed. On the following day Robert C. Alston, of Atlanta, general counsel of the Southern Express Company, read a paper in which he suggested Federal interference to stop lynching in Georgia. The mere fact that members of the Georgia Bar Association now dare to discuss remedies for lynching, and above all, such a remedy as Federal intereference, is a hopeful sign that the conscience of the South will finally be awakened and sentiment aroused against this terrible crime.—New York Age. HUGHES ACCEPTS RESIGNS AS ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF U. S. SUPREME COURT AND STATES POLICIES. Favors Preparedness — Military, In- dustrial and Naval, and Makes Americanism the Chief Is- = sue in the 1916 Cam- paign. nN SteRtadl Lateiebh tae Besta Cas ae eee ae Washington, June 12.—Making his letter brief and strictly formal, as a courtesy, in order that the President might not feel compelled to express regrets, Justice Hughes, ten minutes after he had been notified of his nomination, wrote and sent by a mes- senger to the White House his resig- nation, as follows: “June 10, 1916—To the President: I hereby resign the office of associ- ate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, I am, sir, respect- fully yours. “CHARLES E. HUGHES.” ‘The reply, also in one sentence, was sent, as follows: “Dear Mr, Justice Hughes: 1 am in receipt of your letter of resigna- Uon and feel constrained to yield to your desire, I, therefore, accept your resignation as justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to take ef- fect at once. Sincerely yours, WOODROW WILSON.” Mr. Hughes’ telegram to Chairman Harding who had notified him of his nomination and extended congratula- tions, was as follows: “Mr, Chairman and Delegates: 1 have not desired the nomination. 1 have wished to remain on the bench. But in this critical period of our national history 1 recognize that it is your right to summon, and that it is my paramount duty to respond. You speak at a time of national exigency, transcending merely parti- san considerations. You voice the demand for a dominant, thoroughgo- ing Americanism, with firm protec: tive upbuilding policies essential to our peace and security, and to that call, in this crisis, 1 cannot fail to answer with the pledge of all that Is in me to the success of the country, Therefore 1 accept the nomination. “I stand for the firm and un- flinching maintenance of all_the rights of American citizens on land and sea. I neither impugn motives nor underestimate difficulties. But it is most regrettably true in our foreign relations we have suffered incalculably from the weak and vactl- lating course which has been taken with regard to Mexico—ot course la- mentably wrong with regard both to our rights and our duties. We in terfered without consistency, and, while seeking to dictate when we were not concerned, we utterly failed to appreciate and discharge our plain duty to our own citizens. “At the outset of the administra: tion the high responsibilities of our diplomatic intercourse with foreign nations Were subordinated to a con: ception of partisan requirements, and we presented to the world a hw miliating spectacle of inaptitude. Belated efforts have not availed to recover the influence and prestige so unfortunately sacrificed, and brave words have been stripped of their force by indecision. “I desire to see our diplomacy re stored to its best standards and to have these advanced; to have no sac riflce of the national interest to par tisan expediencies; to have the first ability of the country always at its command here and abroad in diplo matic intercourse; to maintain firm. ly our rights ‘under international law; insisting steadfastly upon all our rights as neutral and fully per forming our international ‘obliga. tions; and by the clear correctness and justness of our position and our manifest ability and disposition to sustain them to dignify our place among the nations. “1 stand for an Americanism that knows no ulterior purpose, and iot @ patriotism that is single and com: plete. Whether native or natural ized, of whatever race or creed, we have but one country and we do not for an instant tolerate any division of allegiance. I believe in making prompt provision to secure absolutely our national security. I believe in preparedness, not only entirely ade: quate for our defense with respect fo numbers and equipment in both army and navy, but with all thorough ness to the end that in each branch of the service there may be the ut most efficiency under the most com: petent administrative heads. “But we are devoted to the ideals of honorable peace. We wish to pro mote all wise and practical measures for the just settlement of interna: tional disputes. In view of our abid. ing ideal, there is no danger of militarism in this country. We have no policy of aggression; no lust for territory; no zeal for strife. It is in this spirit that we demand adequate provision for national defense and we condemn the inexcusable neglect that has been shown in this matter of first national {mportance. We must have the strength which self respect demands, the strength of an efficient nation’ ready for every emergency. “Our preparation must be indus: HOUSE PASSES TAYLOR'S BILL.

In preventing, as we must, un- just discriminations and monopolistic practices, we must still be zealous to assure the foundations of honest busi- ness. Particularly should we seek the expansion of foreign trade. We must not throttle American enterprise here or abroad, but rather promote it and take pride in honorable achievements. “We must take up the serious prob- lems of transportation of interstate and foreign commerce, in a sensible and candid manner, and provide an enduring basis for prosperity by. the intelligent use of the constitutional powers of Congress, so as adequately to protect the public on the one hand, and, on the other, to conserve the es: sential instrumentalities of progress. “I stand for the principles of our civil service laws.

Roosevelt's answer to the Pro: gressive convention follows: “To the Progressive Convention: 1 am very grateful for the honor you confer upon me by nominating me as President.

Therefore, if you desire an immedi- ate decision I must decline the nom- ination, But if you prefer it, I sug- gest that my conditional refusal be placed ingthe hands of the Progres- sive national committee.

Russians capture Dubno, second of important fortresses in Volhynian triangle and are pressing Austrians westward. Petrograd reports 35,409 prisoners taken in Saturday's fighting. Canadian troops, in what the British official statement describes as a "gallant and successful assault," southeast of Zillebeke, recaptured a former British position over a front of more than 1,500 yards. Americans routed twenty-five Villa bandits, killing three, wounding several and capturing all their horses and saddles, some rifles and several thousand rounds of ammunition, crippling the band completely near Santa Clara in a surprise attack. After a preliminary artillery bombardment, Italian troops made an attack in the Lacarina valley and captured a strong Austrian line, the war office in Rome announced. Austrian troops attempted to advance in several sections but met with checks. German troops attempting a counter offensive against the Russians in the Stripa region suffered a severe check Tuesday, according to the statement of the war office in Petrograd. The Russians reported the capture of several hundred prisoners and an enormous amount of war supplies. The Russian drive against the Austrian front continued Monday with unabated fury and now the capture of Czernowitz, northern Bukowina, seems imminent. Fighting is in progress over a front of 600 to 700 miles, from the Gulf of Riga to Bukowina, the Germans having taken the offensive in the north. Petrograd reports all German advances repulsed. WESTERN Edicts are going forth in Virginia cities for enforcement to the letter of all statutes, including the so-called Sunday blue laws.

Secretary of War Baker announced he had ordered 1,000 coast artillery and the engineer corps at Washington barracks to proceed at once to the Mexican border for patrol duty. This action was taken following the receipt of additional news of a disturbing character. Rearrangement of seats was the only evidence of the resignation of Justice Hughes shown in the Supreme court. Justice Van Deventer succeeded Mr. Hughes as fourth associate in point of service. Justice Brandeis took the seat on the extreme right of the chief justice, establishing the record of being the first justice to sit only one day in the new member's seat on the extreme left. Cotton used during May amounted to 574,867 running bales, the census bureau announced. That compares with 493,798 bales used in May a year ago.

It was on the Hampshire that Lord Kitchener and his staff were voyaging to Russia. King Constantine decided to order the complete demobilization of the Greek army. The demobilization follows the blockade of the ports of Greece by the allies and the placing of an embargo on Greek ships in British and French ports. Americans domiciled in London, who are subject to income tax, must sell or deposit American securities with the British government, under penalty of an extra two shillings tax. The ruling holds, whether the securities are held in America or England. Seeking a marvelous emerald necklace and other jewels worth $100,000, ghouls at Paris violated for the second time the tomb of Ginette Lantelme, the famous beauty and wife of the late Alfred Edwards, who was drowned in 1910 while traveling in a houseboat on the Rhine. A Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam says that a trawler has brought to that port thirty-two sailors, the crew of the Norwegian steamer Erkendal, which was sunk by a mine.

The Republican national convention nominated Charles Evans Hughes of New York and Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana as the candidates of their party for President and Vice President. Almost at the same moment Theodore Roosevelt was nominated by the national Progressive convention and later in the day John M. Parker of Louisiana was named as his running mate. Col. Roosevelt declines to accept nomination at this time. Army officers at San Antonio, Tex., are convinced that Luis de la Rosa has obtained from certain officers in Carranza's army promises of support in any border warfare which he may begin against Americans. Chairman William F. McCombs of the Democratic national committee announced in St. Louis that he had prepared a resolution to submit to the platform committee asking for a plank demanding a constitutional amendment that would prevent any federal judge from being elected to any other office. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "Houston has always been and will continue to be in an increasingly degree a sort of guide to other cities in a great many ways—educational and economical. Especially is this true with the status of the Negro population. This city is destined to become a great and growing metropolis. Onequarter of its population is colored, and whatever good or bad comes to Houston, the Negroes to a degree are affected thereby." This was the outstanding feature of an address delivered in Houston, Tex., recently at the colored evening high school graduating exercises by I. M. Terrell, president of the Prairie View State Normal and Industrial college. A corps of well educated Negro teachers in Houston have espoused these ringing words of the successful colored professor. They are calling these words an expression of their own sentiments. They are more desirous of instilling into their race a greater degree of eagerness for education than ever before. They are aware that educational training will, quicker than any other agency, lift their race higher. They are confident that educational training will in a measure tear off the shackles of crime and inspire them to labor for higher ideals and for attainments by which they can serve their community, and in so doing not only better their own standards of living but serve society in a more useful manner. While all the colored schools in Houston maintain courses of study of a high quality, especial attention is given to industrial art. There are 13 regular day schools, including one high school in the city and four night schools. The industrial arts are taught in all of these schools. These courses are not elective, but every student is compelled to include one of the industrial arts or more in his or her course of study. There was an average total enrollment of 6,329 students in the colored schools during the past year. Of this number 754 were enrolled in the four eight schools. In the night schools the students for the most part were of mature age, their ages ranging from fifteen to seventy years. The younger students of the night schools are enrolled in most instances with the object of learning something about the industrial arts in order to be of better service to the community, and to be more efficient for their own benefit. Most of the older and extremely old people have an entirely different object in view. Many of them are about ready to make their peace with their God. They want to be prepared for death. They want to read the Bible to learn what is required of them in their declining days. They want to be able to read it and interpret the meaning of the passages according to their own notions. Still another object of the older students is to learn to write so that they may correspond with their friends and relatives in other parts of the country. Tuskegee was not a one-man school, any more than Harvard was a one-man school when John Harvard was president. That Doctor Washington wielded a great influence over the destinies of our people was due, first, to his native ability and keen insight, and, second, because Tuskegee was the first profitable experiment of the kind conducted wholly by Negroes. During the past year the farm of 600 acres connected with the Hampton institute, on which are 126 cows 27 horses, 1,063 chickens and 142 pigs has been strengthened by the addition of a poultry expert, and progress has been made in the growing of seed corn, in the breeding of hogs, and in improving the character of the dairy herd. Prominent place was given the school's exhibit at the Richmond fair, and extension work, in co-operation with the department of agriculture, has greatly increased. Practical work in the trade school included, last year, blacksmithing, bricklaying, cabinetmaking, carpentry, machine work, painting, printing, shoemaking, steamfitting, tailoring, tinsmithing and wheelwrighting. The men not only work in the shops, but build houses on the grounds, install the plumbing and electric fixtures, and make the concrete walks. They build trucks and wagons, which are sold to railroad and steamship companies, and orders have been shipped to 34 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada. An increase of 16 is shown in the An increase of 16 is shown in the enrollment for this year over that of While digging stumps on the farm of Gen. A. R. Benson near Dover, Del., Negroes uncovered a great quantity of gold, jewelry and other valuables. It is believed the articles comprised the loot of a robbery committed ten years ago. To give concrete columns for building wide foundations a German engineer has invented a method for blasting awa the earth with dynamite, making a hole which soft concrete quickly fills. Doctor Washington's ability was recognized by every teacher and every employee and everyone of the thousands of students that have attended his school, as well as by all other men that have come in contact with him. But he himself was quick to discover and make use of the ability of any other man. He had gathered about him more than 250 instructors, scores of whom would be able to operate Tuskegee institute today if put in charge. There is Emmett J. Scott, his private secretary, not only one of the brainiest Negroes of today but one of the most conservative, and was maintained as Booker T. Washington's secretary because of his conservatism and because his very makeup was so much like Doctor Washington's himself. And there is Warren Logan, Doctor Washington's treasurer and lifelong coworker—another man able to carry forward his work. Tuskegee as an institution will, of course, mourn the loss of Doctor Washington, but he has so built himself into the very bricks and mortar of the institution that it will go forward in the future as it has come forward in the past. But Booker Washington's work was not all at Tuskegee, nor even the greater portion of it—it was being carried forward throughout the South with as much of a determined spirit as those who had caught the inspiration could muster. Here, at this institution, are 35 young men and young women teachers, most of whom have sat at his feet, who have gained from him inspiration and who have determined that the spirit of Booker T. Washington shall live through them and those with whom they come in contact. And not through this institution alone but the hosts of others Eatonville, Fla.; Centerville, Ala.; Denmark, S. C.; Port Royal, S. C.; Topeka, Kan.; Fort Valley, Ga.; Snow Hill, Ala., and a large number of other institutions that have sprung up from Tuskegee will go forward for years, doing a telling work for the principles for which Booker T. Washington lived and died. Remarkable work among the Negroes was done by evangelists of the Southern Baptist church during the past year, according to the report made to the convention by the home mission board. There were 12,000 additions to the Negro churches, as against 500 during the first year of this work. The two evangelists have learned how to organize their forces for the best results, the board says. Better feeling between the races has been another tangible result of these meetings, according to the report. Evangelism made a gratifying advance during the year under the direction of Dr. Weston Bruner. As the result of the work of 28 evangelists there were 27,714 additions to the churches and 20,709 for baptisms. Volunteers for the ministry number 1,386. Most effective work was done in Dallas and Washington, D. C., with 2,100 additions at the former place and 2,200 at the latter. Evangelical work was started in 1907 with five evangelists. The first year showed 1,047 additions. So that a window can be left open without danger of damage to a room when it rains a canvas trough has been invented that is intended to fasten to a window sill to catch the water. last, and of 61 over the year before, the total number being 905. Two hundred and sixty-two new students were admitted during the year Hours of study and recitation and the number of schooldays in a week have been so increased as to add two months to the school year. The summer school enrollment of 445 was ten more than in the previous year. Encouraging reports are received from the Whittier Training school, where 488 boys and girls from Hampton and Phoebus receive instruction and the library, the museum, and the departments devoted to sewing, music, athletics and religious work have made good progress. Close communication with the graduates of Hampton has been maintained, and returns from Hampton's Indian students show that 891 of them are living. One hundred and twenty-five of them are graduates, and 34 received agriculture or trade certificates. They represented 61 tribes. Mr. Frissell recommends the celebration of Hampton's fiftieth anniversary, which will occur in 1918, and the employment of a competent person to write the school's history. Small gasoline engines for starting larger engines on seaplanes and airships are now being tried in England. The engine weighs only 23 pounds, develops more than four horse power, and operates at more than 4,000 revolutions a minute. A few years ago it would have been thought impossible to make a motor of any kind so powerful for its weight.

RECOGNIZED BY THE RETAIL ASSOCIATION OF THE DENVER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM OF THE FIRST CLASS. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION PEACE AND PREPAREDNESS. Four years ago this great political organization of the United States, known as the Republican party, was said to have been split "wide open" as the results of the presidential election showed, when a number of its members and adherents, worshipping at the shrine of one whom they believed their only leader, felt that they were wronged and resolved to exact reparation. But the idea of "peace and preparedness" did not dawn on their minds, and so in the withdrawal from the old party and establishment of another, some incident would present itself that would be always shaping toward adjustment of the issues that caused the break, and the rehabilitation of the aggrieved element. At last came the panacea in the convention of the Grand Old Party, which was in session from Wednesday to Saturday of last week in Chicago, when the most striking event in the political history of this party took place. On the one hand—cheers, repeated applause, shouts for Theodore Roosevelt, the wonderful American known to all the continents of the globe; on the other, a small voice almost in a whisper barely utters Hughes; and whatever was the influence, the power, or the seeming miraculous agency, the whispering tone as if charged with an electric current flashed on, above, around, through the throng of delegates—the people's representatives—getting louder, becoming stronger, until reaching the gigantic proportions of an avalanche this tone swept the whole convention into a seething, surging mass with the name of Charles Evans Hughes indelibly stamped thereon. This sudden change, this noteworthy transformation was astonishing to those who were untrained in the catechism of the Republican party, or whose breasts, filled with the venom of former years, forgot that America was now crying "PEACE AND PREPAREDNESS, PREPAREDNESS AND PEACE," but the members of that convention who started from the radicle into the larger root, the trunk, the primary and secondary branches, the flower, and into the fruit, of the G. O. P. realized at this crucial moment the beauty of unity, the effect of consolidation, the restoration to power that would necessarily result in a greater America and an untrammelled Americanism, and therefore threw in their lot to an almost unanimous degree. Now that the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes and Charles Warren Fairbanks by the Republican convention for the positions of President and Vice President, respectively, is an established fact, every elector who has shared the joys and sorrows, victories and defeats of this party is requested to take an unusual interest in the coming NATIONAL ELECTION, and taking the example from some of our delegates from the state of Colorado and adjoining states, join the rank and file of the Grand Republican party and insure an overwhelming victory for an organization that stands for improvement in general conditions of the people of its country, upholding its dignity and commanding the respect of other nations during this and any other period of its existence. Remember! The Grand Old Party's influence is world wide, as it stands for an America—the nation of nations, whose motto is—PEACE AND PREPAREDNESS. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NO MORE SORROW—WORK IN CREASING.

We were given another proof of the musical ability of the people of Colorado last. Thursday evening in the Auditorium when twelve contestants sung before a packed house in the News-Times musical contest. Six of each sex sang two songs, and to the lay mind all would have received the award, but the professional musicians who were the judges found the best --- average in points in Miss Forsythe and Wm. Parsons. This contest was conducted in a manner that reflected the highest credit on the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Times, two of our leading dailies in Colorado and the United States, and an invitation was extended to all persons irrespective of race or creed to take part. Unfortunately for our race we did not have a representative in the final test, but seeing some of our musicians in the audience, we hope encouragement will be given them to take part in the next. The chief object of this contest is to create a greater interest in music throughout Colorado; and to bring to light new talent establishing a scholarship fund to help young worthy musicians The thanks of this paper and the community must be given the proprietors of the News and Times with the co-operation of the Columbia Phonograph Company, dealers in Colorado who will donate 25c to the fund from the sale of records of the songs of the winners and give them a trip to New York and return, singing for the Phonograph Company.

There is one peculiarity about the history of the Latin-American states which, I am sure, they are keenly aware of. You hear of "concessions" to foreign capitalists in Latin America. You do not hear of concessions to foreign capitalists in the United States. They are not granted concessions. They are invited to make investments. The work is ours, though they are welcome to invest in it. We do not ask them to supply the capital and do the work. It is an invitation, not a privilege; and states that are obliged, because their territory does not lie within the main field of modern enterprise and action, to grant concessions are in this condition, that foreign interests are apt to dominate their domestic affairs—a condition of affairs always dangerous and apt to become intolerable. The dignity, the courage, the self-possession, the self-respect of the Latin-American states, their achievements in the face of all these adverse circumstances, deserve nothing but the admiration and applause of the world. I rejoice in nothing so much as in the prospect that they will now be emancipated from these conditions; and we ought to be the first to take part in assisting in that emancipation. Development of Agriculture Will Insure National Strength Development of Agriculture Will Insure National Strength By REPRESENTATIVE J. RANDALL WALKER of Georgia Agriculture is the basic industry of the world. Whatever advances agriculture strengthens the nation for war as well as for peace and promotes the interests of all mankind. It is our duty and should be our delight so to legislate as to insure to the tillers of the soil the maximum of comfort, prosperity, and contentment in their labors. Taxation measures should be framed to bear upon them most lightly. Government aid to increase the fertility of the soil, to diversify the crops, and increase the rewards of farm labor should go out to them continuously. Develop agriculture, make it a profitable industry, and you have gone far to insure the preservation of the nation, should our national life ever be threatened. A contented, patriotic, home-loving people will arise in their might to meet the nation's need. Germany organized agriculture as perfectly as any other industry, and today she is feeding her people at home and her armies in the field, though hedged in by a ring of steel. Jealousy Not Always Sign of Mean or Little Nature By FRANK P. NIEMANN, County Judge of Nassau County, New York A recent ruling of mine, whereby I refused to send a man to an insane asylum, caused a great deal of discussion, not because of the importance of the single case, but because of my assertion that if every jealous man were sent to an insane asylum we would have to build a double row of madhouses the length of the island. I repeat that assertion. Some of the soundest, finest, biggest natures I have ever known suffered from jealousy. What is the cure for it? Patience! Patience! And again patience! If you have caused any suffering through that emotion, treat it as you would any pathological state. Remove the cause. If the person has imagined a cause, the suffering is as real to him as though it existed. Patiently convince that person that he is in error. It cannot be done at once, but by kindly persistence the germ can be eliminated from the mind. True American One Who Stands for Rights of Humanity By REPRESENTATIVE FRANK BUCHANAN of Illinois A true American is one who loves the people of America and faithfully tries to serve them, and whose fidelity to their cause will not be swerved by imminent danger to his personal interests or by threats from powerful influences to destroy him. True Americanism exists in him who has the courage to strive for the rights and freedom of humanity under great difficulties. A true and intelligent American understands that he is to a degree a citizen of the world, and while striving to serve the best interests of America, realizes that these interests are best served by directing his influence to serve humanity elsewhere. Americanism does not mean a locality. Americanism does not mean a family tree. Americanism means liberty, equality and justice, and he who stands firmest in support of these principles deserves most to be called an American. Excessive Religion Estranges Nations and Breeds Hypocrisy By REV. FRANK C. BRUNER, Pastor Simpson Methodist Church, Chicago To be overreligious breeds hypocrisy. Many are so full of religion they have no room for the love of God. The religiosity of man takes root often in materialism. Take the religion of nationalism, which has for centuries held humanity in its giant grip in Germany, Russia and Rome, as well as other nations. What is it doing now to make the world better? In the name of national religion it has drawn sword to slaughter tens of thousands, breaking the heart of motherhood, and ruining innocent childhood, whose tender life is left exposed to cruel war. The present war is nothing but overreligiousness, rooted deeply in selfishness for the promotion of a religion of nationalism, denominationalism and aristocracy.

Hair Tonic His Undoing. "I understand Binks has just had a most humiliating experience." "Yes, he has. You see, he prided himself for years on his ability to withstand regular liquor, and yet succumbed to some hair tonic he bought at a drug store."-Richmond Times-Dispatch Aid Sought. "So poor William has been caught by a proposal and the bride-to-be wants it announced. What part of the paper shall I put it in?" "If you want my opinion of William's preference, I'd put it under 'Help Wanted.'" Be Neighborly The telephone is a great thing to cure loneliness on the farm, as it enables us to talk to our friends and neighbors in all kinds of weather and regardless of bad roads. But it does not take the place of actual visiting, and we ought to do more of that. This is true as applied to the young people. Encourage them to visit around as often as possible, and keep your own latchstrings out for others to come and call on your own. As New York Understands It In one of New York's public schools the other day this sentence appeared in the reading lesson: "The king and his escort passed by." "Now," said the teacher, "who can tell me what is meant by an 'escort?'." A small, freckled-faced boy raised his hand, and in the vernacular of the East Side said: "It's a feller what's got a girl and he takes her out walking." Changed Conception. "What's your opinion of Bommaster?" "Well, when I first met him, he impressed me as being a leader of men, a ten-thousand-volt human dynamo, a clarion-voiced czar who would brook no opposition; but when I met him the second time, in his office, I sized him up for a pusillanimous mouse." "Where did you meet him the first time?" "On the telephone." Daily Thought. Courage, cheerfulness and charity; the man who knows the meaning of these words can learn to spell self-control.—Henry Van Dyke. Daily Thought A life of pleasure cannot support itself so long as one of business, but is much more subject to satiety and disgust.—Hume. Daily Thought. A man of sense takes the time necessary for doing well the thing he is about; and his haste to dispatch a business only appears by the continuity of his application to it. He pursues it by cool steadiness and finishes it before he begins any other.—Chesterfield.

THE COLORED CITIZENS' LEAGUE The league, being jubilant over the nomination of the Hon. Charles Evans Hughes and Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks, passed resolutions unanimously supporting them in the coming campaign at a meeting held last Wednesday evening at their headquarters, 2566 Washington street. Members declared that this was one of the most enthusiastic meetings held by the league, and began to realize the wisdom of working harmoniously by placing them foremost among the very limited number of organizations that stand for the general welfare of the people in the city and state. The good work that is carried on by the league is coming in for greater recognition, as it interests itself in every phase of activity among the people. While the political questions of the country, state and city are taken up and discussed, yet there are other issues as important which engage the minds of the members. ```markdown ``` Keep off date Fourth of July—Big Ball, Fern Hall, 2711 Welton Street.

On Monday evening last, a fairly large and appreciative audience greeted the pupils of Miss de Autremont in their Summer Recital at Shorter A. M. E. Church and showed their appreciation for local talent in a form of development that can only result from faithful and patient training. It can be said without any fear or attempt to boast, that this teacher of piano takes an extraordinary interest in her pupils, and the exhibition of touch and technique with the interpretation of the compositions witnessed by a critical audience proved beyond a doubt that in Denver we have "a mine of wealth untold." If parents and guardians would only encourage their children to remain with such teachers until qualified, there is every reason to predict a brilliant musical career for our young citizens. The Colorado Statesman wishes abundant success for Miss de Autremont and her class and hope to have another opportunity of hearing such celightful music. ATTENTION MASONS.

The pastor's sermon in the morning was both inspirational and corrective. The entire service was made tender by the presence of the Spirit. Two persons united to the membership during the day. The special offering lacks a few dollars of reaching the $1,500 rark. There are yet other offerings to come in. Such generosity at a time of financial stringency is characteristic of the Zion people. The Sunday school picnic is set for the third Thursday in the month of July. This outing will be fully up to former years. Sports of various kinds and classes will make up the program. Next week full announcements will be made. The Western Baptist Association will meet with the Central church next Tuesday evening, June 20th, continuing till Friday night. The programs this year will be of exceptional merit and will delight and inspire those who will attend. The public is invited. This year, in the mouth of August, Zion will celebrate the 50th year of its organization with a week of activities such as will be entirely new to this section of the country. An historical paneat covering eight days will present to the citizens the growth of the city upon which Zion has had a most remarkable influence. A full program will be published shortly, and the entire community will join with us in this commemoration. EDITOR A. D. GRIFIN PASSES AWAY. Editor A. D. Griffin of the Kansas Elevator Co., one among the best known Negro men in the state of Kansas, died Thursday, June 1st, at 2 p. m., while sitting at his desk in his office arranging his mailing list. Since the early days of Kansas politics and Negro journalism, Mr. Griffin was always on the firing line, championing and advocating those policies and principles that he thought were right for the best interests of the race. To say the least of him, he was a dreamer and hoped and labored for the day when his race would no longer be termed black men, but American citizens along all lines that the word might express. He was untiring as a worker, conscientious to a fault, and an unrelenting fighter for those things that he believed right. We cannot say that we agreed with many of the things that he expounded, nevertheless, we always admired his valor and courageousness. In politics he was Democratic, and felt that it was the party of hope for the Negro race. For some years he was business manager of the Topeka Plaindealer, and it was while holding that position that he was a candidate to the high office of the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. And he believed even up until the time of his death that he would be appointed to the same. In the prime of life with his boots on and in the very whirl of things, the great editor of the universe entered that little office in the city of Kansas City and called him from his labors to reward.—Hutchinson Blade.

Uncle Sam Has Big Job Guarding Food Supplies Fruit Stand Pure-Food Inspector at Work Among Push-Cart Men Traffic in all things people eat and drink, from meats to medicines, from lithia to firewater, from cheeses to cherries is under the close and active surveillance of Uncle Sam. His function as a policeman of interstate commerce has expanded wonderfully in recent years and the work under the pure-food and drugs act is far from the least of these responsibilities. This policing task involves seeing to it that none of the huge varieties of commercially prepared foods, drinks and drugs that pass from one state into another and ultimately down the human esophagus are adulterated or misbranded or mixed with "any added poisonous or other added deleterious ingredient." There were 386 decrees of tion and forfeiture under w in 208 cases were ordered d The above statistics have the so-called pure-food law older and companion statute inspection act, deals with work. Under the latter la tions were reported in the cases tried there were 135 All this keeps Solicitor immediate staff of 35 lawy United States district attor busy. Other current activities reau of chemistry in the pure food are legion. Stu ing made in the drying of the ripening of oranges, in The cause of pure food contains a generous plenty to engage the attentions of the secretary of agriculture, Mr. Houston; of the head of the bureau of chemistry, Doctor Alsberg, and of Mr. Caffey, solicitor for the department of agriculture. The volume of the current work is shown by the figures on legal action under the pure-food law of last year. There were 767 cases involving 826 violations of the statute. Of these, 276 cases involved criminal violation. In the 12 months, 967 cases, 456 civil and 501 criminal were terminated. BIG INCREASE IN POSTAL SAVINGS IS NOW EXPECTED Limit of $500 on One Account, Fixed Under Old Law, Raised by Amendment to $1,000. Uncle Sam's postal authorities are anticipating a big increase in the postal savings deposits as a result of an amendment to the postal savings act, which President Wilson has just approved. The maximum interest-bearing account which a depositor may now have is $1,000, as against $500 under the old law. The restriction on the amount that could be accepted from a depositor monthly is done away with under the new legislation, so that he may now deposit all or any part of the maximum amount which may stand to his credit. More than 35,000 depositors had reached the $500 limit and many of them had expressed their desire to intrust more of their savings to Uncle Sam. It has been estimated that the restrictions on deposits have made it necessary to turn away as much money as it has been possible to accept at depository post offices. The number of depositors now runs well over half a million and the deposits foot up over eighty million dollars. MUCH FARM LAND IN ALASKA Agricultural Area Equals That of Several States—Variety of Field Crops Can Be Grown. The agricultural area of Alaska is as large as the combined areas of the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire, and, in spite of the climatic conditions, it should be capable of supporting a population nearly equal to that supported by the agricultural products of those states. This is one of the interesting statements made in a circular issued by the department of agriculture for the benefit of those who are thinking of settling in Alaska. The circular contains a special report on the agricultural possibilities of the valley of the Matanuska river, through which the government railroad is now being constructed and where, as a result, settlement has recently been rapid. The great problem here, as elsewhere in Alaska, is the clearing of the generally heavily wooded land. The soil and climate have been found favorable to general farming, the experience of the past few years having shown that a considerable variety of field crops vegetables, and fruits can be produced. Wooden Clogs Disappearing. Leather shoes are taking the place of wooden clogs in Manchuria and a field is being opened up there for American leather, according to a report of Consul General Heintzieman of Mukder. There were 386 decrees of condemnation and forfeiture under which goods in 208 cases were ordered destroyed. The above statistics have to do with the so-called pure-food law alone. Its older and companion statute, the meat-inspection act, deals with a kindred work. Under the latter law 155 violations were reported in the year. Of cases tried there were 135 convictions. All this keeps Sollicitor Caffey, his immediate staff of 35 lawyers, and the United States district attorneys fairly busy. Other current activities of the bureau of chemistry in the cause of pure food are legion. Studies are being made in the drying of potatoes, in the ripening of oranges, in the shucking of oysters and the packing and refrigerating of fish, with a view to the introduction of the most sanitary and healthful methods. Investigations are under way to determine the best way of feeding poultry, after receipt by the packer, for increase in weight and quality. A recently completed investigation dealt with the breakage of eggs in transit, and led to definite recommendations—with a view to reducing an estimated $50,000,000 annual waste in eggs—on desirable improvements in the transportation, storage and general handling of eggs. Great Hospital Built for Canal Employees. Uncle Sam has built a great new hospit at Colon for the benefit of employees in the Panama Canal Zone. The buildings of the new hospital, which are of reinforced concrete with tile roofs, are four in number, arranged on the pavilion plan, with an administration building in the middle, an east wing for wards, a west wing for a dispensary and private rooms, and in the rear a service building in which are the kitchens, dining rooms, etc. There are also an emergency ward, a laboratory, X-ray room, dark room, and all the other conveniences of a well-equipped modern hospital. The buildings are thoroughly screened, and there are ample protected verandas the length of the buildings and an inclosed sun porch at one end. AUTOS HIT WAGON MAKERS Manufacturers of Carriages Suffer Still More, Output Decreasing 33.8 Per Cent in Five Years. The growth of the automobile industry in the United States is reflected in a considerable decrease in the number of wagons and carriages manufactured in 1914, as compared with 1909, according to a statement of the bureau of the census. During this five year period the production of carriages, exclusive of public conveyances, decreased 33.8 per cent in number and 30 per cent in value. In 1909 the number of carriages manufactured was 843,319, while in 1914 the number had fallen to 558,402. The wagon-making industry was not hit so hard. In 1909, the number of wagons manufactured was 629,797, while in 1914 the output fell to 572,613, a decrease of 9.1 per cent. The value of wagons manufactured fell from $42,026,198 in 1909 to $36,533,152 in 1914. MINTS NOT BUSY IN 1915 Amount of Money Coined by Uncle Sam Less Than in Any Year, With One Exception, Since 1872. With the exception of one year—1912—less money was coined in Uncle Sam's mints in 1915 than in any other year since 1872. The coinage in 1915 amounted to $30,144,280.20. Of this amount $23,967,375 was in gold, $4,114,065.50 in silver and $2,062,839.70 in minor coins. The total coinage in 1912 was only $27,416,903.80, but aside from that year it had not fallen below $42,448,811.70 in any year since 1872. The mints of the United States reached the high water mark in 1904, when the coinage reached a total of $250,781,539.30. Of this amount $233,402,400 was in gold. WILSON LEADS FLAGDAYPARADE SETS PACE FOR 75,000 PREPAREDNESS MARCHERS IN THE STREETS OF WASHINGTON. MENANDWOMENINLINE PRESIDENT DELIVERED ADDRESS ON "AMERICA FIRST" ON CAPITOL GROUNDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Led by President Wilson carrying the Stars and Stripes nearly 75,000 men, women and children of Washington marched up broad Pennsylvania avenue on Flag day in a preparedness parade arranged to emphasize the national capital's demand for an adequate army and navy. When the reviewing stand was reached the President left the line and went into the stand and watched the marchers sweep by. Beginning at the peace monument near the capitol building the line of march passed the postoffice and treasury department buildings and then reached the white house, where the reviewing stand draped with American flags had been erected. The President, attired in white trousers, blue coat and straw hat, and shouldering his flag like a musket, stepped briskly to martial airs played by the United States marine band. He smiled broadly and frequently raised his hat in response to cheers as he marched along between two district citizens escorted by Secretary Tumulty, the White House employés and the White House newspaper corps. Washington was brilliantly decorated for the occasion. It was a holiday, for, under an executive order, issued by the President, all government employés were excused from work and many stores were closed. President Wilson decided to set a precedent by walking on foot during the entire length of the parade. Former Presidents Roosevelt and Taft also had been invited but found it impossible to participate, and Chas. E. Hughes was in New York. Men and women in almost equal numbers marched, each civilian contingent wearing some uniform costume. It was nearly 2:30 o'clock when the last of the paraders passed the White House. Then President Wilson went to the Washington monument grounds to deliver his address on America First." In his address he said: "I have not come here this afternoon with the purpose of delivering to you any elaborate address. It seems to me that the day is sufficiently eloquent already with the meaning which it should convey to us. The spectacle has been a very moving spectacle, indeed—an almost unpremeditated outpouring of thousands of sober citizens to manifest their interest in the safety of the country and the sacredness of the 'lag which is its emblem." TWO GERMAN WARSHIPS SUNK Twelve Merchantmen Reported De stroyed by Russians in Battle. London, June 15—A Reuter dispatch from Nykoping, Sweden, gives a report of a naval engagement in the Baltic at a point near Hovringe. The Dagens Nyheder names the following ten German steamers as having been lost: Norma, Umeely, Arda, Mecklenberg, Isselle, Italia, Deterro, Weser, Konsul Schultze and Algebra. The following statement has been given out in Berlin in connection with the attack by Russian warships in the Baltic: "During the night of June 13 the German auxiliary cruiser Herzmann was attacked by four Russian destroyers southeast of Stockholm. After a courageous resistance the vessel was set afire by shells and was blown up by her crew. The commander and most of the crew were saved." "It is believed," said the paper, "that twelve merchantmen were sunk, while a German armed trawler, which arrived at nykoping had 150 men aboard from a German destroyer that had been sent to the bottom. The German auxiliary cruiser was the Konig Von Sachsen, which was also seen to sink and it is supposed that all of her crew were drowned." Sheriff's Slayer Gets Death Penalty. Fort Collins.—Clyde B. Pearson was found guilty by a jury here of murder in the first degree for the slaying of Sheriff Frank Roach of Cheyenne and Rancher Nels Nellson of Granite Cañon, Wyo., the morning of May 1. The jury recommended the penalty be death by hanging. Tungsten Men Fight for Claim. Boulder.—Revolvers and a rope, with which hanging was threatened, were the means used by claimants of a tungsten lease held by J. M. Smith of Denver and W. B. Leitch of Telluride to force the last named from the property and out of the tungsten district near Lakewood, according to a complaint made by Leitch. As the result of the story told by Leitch, warrants were issued charging assault with intent to murder against Charles Gilkinson and Hugh Radcliffe, well-known tungsten men. DENVER MINT IS BUSY TURNING OUT 200,000 ONE-CENT PIECES DAILY. Director Declares Unusual Need of Lesser Pieces Sure Sign of National Prosperity. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—Coupled with the announcement that the Denver mint is coining 200,000 one-cent pieces a day and that facilities have been provided for doubling the present capacity, Robert Wickliffe Woolley of Washington, director of the United States mints declared that the mints of the country were working to capacity to meet the unprecedented demand for minor coins, which Mr. Woolley says is one unfailing barometer of the condition of the country. "The present coinage season promises to be the greatest in the history of the nation," says Mr. Woolley. "Heretofore, the opening of the fall season in August has been the occasion of a big demand for the minor coins, nickels and one-cent pieces, and the subsidiary coins, half dollars, quarters and dimes." But there has been no letup in the demand for the last year. "Usually, after the Christmas holidays, there is a lull in the demand for small coins, occasioned by the fact that there is a decrease in expenditure and a consequent returning by the bankers to the treasury of these coins. But there has been no lull this year. The demand has continued steady." Chew Wing Suit Against Governor. The right of E. R. Chew to hold his position as division irrigation engineer for this district, despite the attempt of Governor Carlson to remove him, was upheld by decision of Judge J. E. Rizer in the District Court at Pueblo. As a result, Mr. Chew has been declared both de facto and de jure incumbent of the office while C. W. Beach, the governor's appointee, must step down and out for the time being. Mr. Chew brought quo warranto proceedings against Mr. Beach, alleging that since he had not been removed for cause and his successor had not been qualified by ratification of the State Senate, the appointment of Mr. Beach was not legal. Judge Rizer specifically stated that he would give no opinion as to whether the office of irrigation engineer comes under the civil service classification. Lower Production but Higher Prices The government crop report for June shows an increased price for oats, potatoes and hay in Colorado this month, as compared with a year ago; a decreased price for wheat and corn, and a decreased production of wheat. The prevailing price of wheat as given by the report is 90 cents a bushel, as compared with $1.18 a year ago. Corn is quoted at 63 cents, against 66 cents a year ago. Oats at 55 cents are 4 cents per bushel higher. Hay is $10.30 per ton against $8.10 in June 1915. The production of winter wheat is estimated at 6,900,000, as compared with 8,060,000 bushels last year; spring wheat, 4,970,000 against 5,250,000; oats, 10,900,000 against 11,700,000; apples are estimated at 601,000 barrels against 693,000 barrels in 1915. Coal Mine Fatalities Decrease. The number of fatal accidents in the coal mines of Colorado during the first four months of the present year was almost 50 per cent less than in the same period during 1915, according to James Dalrymple, state coal mine inspector. In the first four months of 1915 there were twenty-three men killed in the mines. In the same period this year there were twelve killed. This decrease in the number of fatalities was accomplished despite the fact that the total coal production for the period increased more than 700,000 tons. The fact that last year's fatality record was smaller than the one in 1914 shows a steady increase in the safety of the mines, due to better co-operation and installation of safety devices, according to the inspector. Printing Contractors Liable An opinion issued by Fred Farrar, attorney general holds that printing contractors who refuse to sign contracts for state printing based on bids submitted, are liable to forfeiture of $1,000 bond. It is understood refusal has been based on the rise in price of paper and ink since Jan. 1. Deer Plentiful Throughout Colorado. Deer, elk and mountain sheep never have been so plentiful as they are this year in Colorado, according to reports which are being received from all sections of the state by W. B. Fraser, State Game and Fish Commissioner. Many Sign Beer Law Petitions. Secretary William Koch, of the Brewery Workers' Union, announced that more than 21,000 names had been signed to petitions proposing a law which would amend the prohibition measure so as to allow the manufacture of beer in Colorado and its sale direct to consumers. About 20,000 signatures are required under the law to submit an initiated measure. When 25,000 names are obtained the petitions will be filed with the Secretary of State, according to Secretary Koch. What Uncle Sam Has Done for Arid Lands by Irrigation What Uncle Sam Has Done for Arid Lands by Irrigation Upon lands watered by government irrigation plants last year, crops were harvested and sold at prices that brought a grand total of more than $17,000,000. Federal irrigation projects now under way or completed embrace over 3,000,000 acres of irrigable land, divided into about 60,000 farms of from 10 to 160 acres each. As the result of recent rapid progress, water was made available last year from government ditches for 1,450,407 acres on 29,017 farms. In its irrigation work, dams of masonry, earth, crib and rock fill have been created with a total volume of 12,200,000 cubic yards. These include the two highest dams in the world. The available reservoir capacity for storing water in government reservoirs is now 6,500,000 cubic feet, or enough to cover the states of New Jersey and Delaware to a depth of 12 inches. The government in this work has dug 9,592 miles of canals and ditches, excavated 89 tunnels with an aggregate length of 25 miles, built 4,622 bridges with a total length of 19 miles, and has constructed 784 miles of wagon roads, 82 miles of railroad, 2,554 miles of telephone line, 429 miles of transmission line, and 1,068 buildings, such as power houses, pumping stations, offices, residences and storehouses. Excavations of rock and earth amount to 130,149,368 cubic yards. The consumption of cement has amounted to 2,501,262 barrels purchased, and 1,177,215 barrels manufactured for its own use. WORKING WITH ALIENS U. S. SEAPORTS EXCEL New York Leads in Movement to Americanize Immigrants. Uncle Sam's Educational Experts Are Co-Operating in Work — Urge Other States to Follow Uncle Sam is taking a deep interest in the efforts that are being made by the state of New York to "Americanize" the hundreds of thousands of immigrants that enter the United States through the port of New York. The bureau of education of the department of the interior calls attention to the work that is being done in New York and suggests that the example set by the Empire state could well be followed by other immigration states. In 1910 there were 597,000 foreign-born whites unable to speak English in New York and 362,000 who could not read or write in any language. The New York state department of education has begun a statewide campaign to abolish these disabilities. Its program covered the following procedure: First, a careful survey of the immigrant education situation; second, establishment of training courses to prepare teachers for the instruction of foreigners; third, adoption of standards of efficiency in public evening school work for adult immigrants; fourth, co-operation with state and federal agencies; and fifth, publication of state bulletins. As a preliminary, personal investigations and intensive study of certain communities disclosed "dark spots" of illiteracy and "light spots" in the large industrial centers where efforts were under way to teach the foreigner English and give him some contact with American standards and ideals. A teachers' training institute for the preparation of teachers of foreigners was organized at Albany in the fall of 1915. It was so successful that it was decided to continue it upon a permanent basis as a part of the regular curriculum of the New York state college of teachers. Similar institutes are planned for Syracuse and New York city, while training classes are in operation at Buffalo and Rochester, partly as a result of state encouragement. Co-operation with governmental and private agencies interested in educating and Americanizing the alien is already an established fact. A statement issued by the New York state department of education shows that the bureau of education of the department of the interior, the bureaus of immigration and naturalization of the department of labor, and the national Americanization committee of New York city are among those whose services and material have been utilized. Speakers for institutes have been furnished by some of these agencies. VOLUME OF IMMIGRATION TAKES BIG DROP IN 1915 Number of Foreigners Admitted at American Ports Last Year Nearly 1,000,000 Less Than in 1914. There were nearly 1,000,000 less immigrants to the United States in 1915 than there were in 1914. Statistics compiled by the bureau of immigration show that there were only 326,700 immigrants admitted to the country in 1915, as compared with 1,218,480 in 1914. Southern Italy continued in 1915 to lead all other nationalities, but the number coming from that country fell off from 251,612 in 1914 to 46,557 in 1915. The English held second place in 1915 with 38,662 immigrants, only about 13,000 less than in the receding year. The number of Hebrew immigrants dropped from 138,051 in 1914 to 26,497 in 1945. The number of French immigrants fell from 18,168 in 1914 to 12,636 in 1915, and the number of Germans dropped from 79,871 to 20,729. Natural Facilities Better Than Those of Old World. Greatest Progress Has Been Made In Recent Years by Cities on Pacific Coast. Seaports of the United States have undergone a remarkable development and now compare favorably with those of other countries, according to a bulletin of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce. This development is attributed to the opening of the Panama canal and the recent tendency of congress to require communities receiving federal appropriations for harbor work to provide public terminals. The bureau finds that American ports are much better suited by nature to handle the largest liners than old-world ports. The author of the report, Commercial Agent Grosvenor M. Jones, states that there are four American ports—New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Tacoma—where it is possible to dock boats as large as the Aquitania and Imperator at any stage of the tide, and in Boston such boats can proceed to the wharves at high tide. In natural advantages, the busiest of the European ports do not compare favorably with these and a number of other American ports. The majority of the seaboard ports mentioned in the report own public terminals, New Orleans and San Francisco leading in this respect. At both of these ports the entire water front is not only publicly owned or subject to expropriation at any time for public use, but is also largely improved by an adequate system of public terminals under immediate public control. At both the seaports the terminals are co-ordinated by belt-line railways, also under public control. The report continues: "The most noteworthy progress made in recent years in port development has been shown by the leading ports on the Pacific coast—San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland, Tacoma, and San Diego. In no section of the country has the importance of publicly owned terminal facilities been more intelligently understood and in none have so large expenditures for port improvement been made in the last five years." ALL-YEAR SCHOOL APPROVED Uncle Sam's Educational Experts Find Good Results Obtained Where Plan Has Been Tried. Uncle Sam risks incurring the enmity of the future voters of the country by putting his "O. K." upon the plan for all-year schools which has been tried out in Newark, N. J. W. S. Deffenbaugh, specialist in city school administration of the bureau of education, department of the interior, in a special report, commends the system as it has been worked out in Newark. Mr. Deffenbaugh finds that time is saved, street loafing is largely prevented and health is conserved by eliminating the long summer vacation. The strongest statement in the report is that the children in the Newark schools themselves speak enthusiastically of the plan. It was found that the pupils in the all-year schools not only made more rapid progress through the grades, but maintained as good scholarship as the pupils in other schools. Many of the pupils were able to enter high school as a result of the time gained in the all-year school, and these pupils have had no difficulty in keeping up with their work. It is expected that many more pupils will now complete the elementary grades at twelve years of age, enter high school and attend for at least two years. Once in high school, they are likely to remain even after the compulsory age limit is passed. WILSON AND MARSHALL NOMINATED BY DEMOCRATS FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT. ARE NAMED BY ACCLAMATION ONLY TWO NAMES PRESENTED TO DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. St. Louis.—In the presence of a cheering crowd of 12,000 people that packed the Coliseum to its capacity, Woodrow Wilson was renominated by the Democratic National Convention for President of the United States and Vice-President Thomas Riley Marshall was renominated by acclamation at the session Friday night. One delegate objected to Wilson's nomination, and forthwith the chairman announced "the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States by a vote 1,092 to 1," there being 1,093 delegates in the convention. President Wilson was placed in nomination by John W. Wescott of New Jersey, who performed the same office on behalf of Mr. Wilson at Baltimore four years ago. Mr. Wescott paid a glowing tribute to the President, whom he entitled "school-mas W. H. WOODROW WILSON. ter, statesman, financier, pacificator and moral leader of the Democracy." When nominations for Vice President were called for, Senator Kern of Indiana named Vice President Marshall, and, as all other candidates had withdrawn, he was nominated by acclamation. Before the nominating speeches began the Democrats indulged in a lovefeast, in which the advent of harmony in their ranks was celebrated. Senator Thompson of Kansas moved a suspension of the rules to permit William Jennings Bryan to address the convention. He was escorted to the platform and launched into a speech lauding the administration. Woodtick's Bite Paralyzed Boy.

AUSTRIANS LEAVE CZERNOWITZ Prisoners Taken by Slavs Estimated at Nearly 150,000. London, June 16. The Austrians have evacuated Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, according to dispatches to the semi-official Petrograd News Agency from Bukowina by way of Bucharest. The twelfth day of the Russian offensive against Austrians and Germans from Volhynia to Bukowina shows nowhere any signs of slackening. All along the front fresh gains for the Russian troops and the capture of thousands of additional prisoners and of guns, machine guns and war supplies are claimed by the Russians. The number of prisoners now exceeds 150,000. On the drive westward from the region of Lutsk the Austrians are counter-attacking or entrenching themselves in new position for a stand against the Russians. The Russians captured German trenches near Baranovichi, on the northern front, but are forced out again; French take German trench on slopes south of Dead Mans Hill at Verdun. Slayer Pleads Life Be Spared. Fort Collins—Cornelius Gray was placed on trial for his life in the District Court here, charged with the murder of Nels Neilson, a Granite county, Wyo., ranchman, at the time that Clyde Pearson killed Sheriff Roach of Cheyenne. Pearson was convicted of murder and the penalty was placed at hanging. The state is demanding the same fate for Gray, though he tried to save himself by offering to change his plea to one of guilty. C. J. Y. THOMAS R. MARSHALL JAMES PRAISES WILSON DECLARES PRESIDENT'S POLICY SAVES US FORM WAR. Chairman of Democratic National Convention Asserts Party Has Pursued Wise Policy Past Four Years. Western Newspaper Union News Service. St. Louis, Mo.—The achievements of the Wilson administration, in en- acting beneficial legislation, and in keeping the country at peace, without sacrifice of national honor, were pronounced epoch-making in American history by Senator Ollie M. James of Kentucky in his address as perma- nuent chairman of the Democratic national convention. "During three years of its national control," said Senator James. "Democracy has enacted into law more progressive remedial legislation than the nation has ever had written upon its statute books since its birth. In former national contests, in the last two decades, our party came as a prophet. Today we come with deeds, not words; with performance, not promise. The Democratic party has kept its word with the American people; we have made good!" The chairman reviewed at length the legislative record of the administration and eulogized the President for his direction of foreign affairs. The Democrats, he said, had enacted a tariff law under which monopolies were curbed, and unexamplied prosperity attained. He declared President Wilson's Mexican policy, and his course in protecting American rights against the encroachments of European belligerents had shown all the world that the President "neither bullies the weak nor fears the strong." In a concluding appeal for the triumph of patriotism above politics, Senator James said the renomination of such a President in partisan convention ought not to be necessary and that to discredit him might palsy the hand that could write the peace treaty of the world. "Four years ago, they sneeringly called Woodrow Wilson the 'school teacher,'" he said. "Today he is the world-teacher. His subject is the protection of American life and American rights under international law. And without orphaning a single American child, without widowing a single American mother, without firing a single gun he wrung from the most militant spirit that ever brooded above a battlefield an acknowledgment of American rights and an agreement to American demands. He has elevated himself to that lofty but lowly eminence occupied by George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson, the three worst-abused and best-loved Americans the Republic ever grew." STEAMSHIP BEAR WRECKED. Six Drowned When Pacific Liner Is Smashed by Rock Off Coast. Eureka, Cal., June 16.—According to a check made by a committee of the Chamber of Commerce here in charge of survivors from the wrecked steamer Bear, 204 of the 210 persons comprising the vessel's passengers and crew have been accounted for. The figures showed that there were 172 persons from the Bear in Eureka. It was estimated that twenty-seven were being cared for in Ferndale and Capetown, and five are known to be dead. The Bear, a $1,000,000 vessel in the coast trade, struck a rock off the Mendocino coast, northern California. Fourteen lifeboats got away from the Bear in good order. Eleven made the Blunt's Reef lightship, four miles away. Two made land at the mouth of Bear river, near the wreck, and one capsized and was lost. Fog and a strong current were the only reasons given by the ships officers for the tragedy. Start Big Drive on Yaquis. Douglas, Ariz.—Disposition of the new lines of the de facto Mexican army in southern and central Sonora was completed and the Yaqui Indian drive was started by 1,800 cavalrymen in five columns, according to a telegram from Gen. P. Elias Calles to Gen. Arnulfo Gomez at Agua Prieta. Gen. Calles stated that within thirty days every hostile band of Indians would be driven from the state, either into Arizona on the north or Chihuahua on the east of Sonora.

Colorado Springs.—Daniel B. Collins, clerk of Camp No. 5, Woodmen of the World, who was found seemingly unconscious lying on the floor of his office here on the 10th, emerged from a dazed state at Bethel hospital and told the police a story of having been assaulted, drugged and robbed by two men. The men, he said, were sitting in his office when he arrived there. The COLORADO STATESMAN "They seized me and, after a struggle, overpowered me," he said. "I lost consciousness and recovered just in time to see them robbing the safe, scattering the papers over the floor. Then they applied a handkerchief to my face. It was saturated with some sort of drug. The safe contained between $400 and $500." IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Collins was removed to the hospital after he had been found by his wife and mother. He is 30 years old, and has been known in Colorado Springs through his evangelistic work in the jail, where he was accustomed to preach to the prisoners.

Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Admirer Sought as Mrs. Allyn's Slayer Admirer Sought as Mrs. Allyn's Slayer Greeley—A man maddened by the refusal of Mrs. Rose Allyn to elope with him was the person who shot and killed her in the kitchen of her home here, the police working on the case now believe. Though they declare they have no clew to the identity of the slayer, the investigation, the police say, so far conducted points to the conclusion that Mrs. Allyn, who was considered an unusually handsome woman, was the victim of one of four or five men admirers, who had sought to persuade her to leave her husband, one, it is claimed, being particularly persistent. C. H. Allyn, husband of the murdered woman, who owns a tailor shop here and has been a Greeley resident thirty years, declares he knows nothing which might serve as a motive for his wife's death. He is prostrated with grief over the tragedy. So far as he knew, he declares, Mrs. Allyn had no enemies.

DAY OR NIGHT UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD There are riding suits and riding suits, and if you contemplate adding one or two of them to a summer wardrobe it is best to consult an authority on riding togs before making a choice. Most suits are made for real service, but even so, there is a difference between country riding and city riding. Some are designed for occasional use, where their display will give pleasure to the woman conscious of their charm. The fad for sports clothes is reflected in dashing outfits that are becoming and inspiring to the last degree. Practically all young women and girls ride astride; a few—and the number is lessenig—still wear skirts and cling to the sidesaddle. One occasional horsewoman is able to ride well either way, but in riding clothes the demand is for riding breeches, in such preponderance that even the divided skirt needs little mention. The materials in demand for practical wear are covert cloth, English tweed, corduroy, suede and reindeer Rompers for Boys and Girls THE CHILDREN'S WEEKLY NEWS THE CHILDREN'S WEEKLY NEWS Just as soon as the young adventurer in life has learned to stand alone, or even earlier, it is time to put him in rompers. Dresses are in the way, and make the business of learning to walk or to creep more difficult than it should be. The greater part of the time of babyhood is spent in rompers in those up-to-date homes where good sense governs. There is a really wonderful variety in styles for rompers. Those who design them contrive to stamp them as boyish or girlish, even for the youngest wearers. They fasten in most unexpected places and are made to wash and iron with the least possible trouble. One may have a choice of patterns, including the models classed as "play suits," with fastening at the back or front, or those that slip on over the head and fasten up the inside of the legs. For the youngest wearers rompers are conveniently made --- leather, forestry cloth, khaki (in brown or white). There is a choice in length of coat, but if one chooses to be exactly correct, the coat is short enough to show eight inches of the breeches, unmounted, and six in the saddle. There is a variety in coat models, among them the Norfolk and the English styles, and the coats for suits intended both for hunting and riding. A practical and dressy suit is pictured, made of hard-twilled serge in black and white check, with an adjustable cape. Riding boots of soft black or tan calfskin, and those that lace up the front, belong to the regulation outfit. For very dressy suits patent leather is offered, but it is less comfortable than the others. Soft white shirts with prim collars and mannish riding hats complete a costume that may be depended upon to enhance the good looks of any woman. In hats the choice lies between clipped beaver, felt, milan straws, satin jockey caps, or severely tailored street hats, with the clipped beaver in first place. THE HOLIDAYS like those shown in the picture. This model fastens at the back and at the crotch with buttons and buttonholes. The narrow leather belt gives shapelliness to the straight one-piece garment, and a decidedly boyish air to the wearer, so the comfort of the little lad of a year and a half is assured. The rompers shown are made of cotton poplin, with a soft hat to match, of the same fabric. White rompers and hat are for the promenade, but dark cotton stuffs make those that serve for play. Dark blue calico, checked ginghams, chambrays, percales, and other practical weaves of cotton are used for them. Sleeves are likely to be short for summer wear, and pattern companies make their patterns to be cut with either long or short sleeves. Julia Bottomly J. R. CONTEE Pres. and Mgr.
