THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY NEGRO STUDENTS LEAD IN MEMORY CONTEST VOL. XXVIII. NEGRO STUDENTS CONT Kansas City, Mo.—Three weeks ago the local daily papers carried an article that the Negro school boys did not march in the Boys' Parade because they were not given their alphabetical location, but were always "hitched on" to the end of the procession. Now, the same papers announce that the Negro pupils lead in a music memory test and two colored schools made the highest marks. The Board of Education inaugurated the system of competition in music memory to counteract the "jazz craze." Miss Mabel Glenn, a noted expert in music, is the general supervisor and has several associates, one of whom is colored, Miss Blanche Morrison. During the term, certain selections were familiarized by the pupils in the various ward schools. On May 18th, at the Junior College, 1,000 pupils competed for honors. The colored schools were given the first chance, at the same building, and under the same conditions only three hours before the whites. It is significant that although the Negro schools competed among themselves, two of them made higher scores than any white school in an identical competition. The average for the five highest white schools is 97.19 while first five colored schools made 97.78. "The Kansas City Star," the leading local daily paper, states, "The James and W. W. Yates (colored) schools won first places in the music memory contests Wednesday at the Junior College, the Sanford B. Ladd and Wendell Phillips (colored) winning second places. The competition was very close, the first twelve white schools ranging from 38 to 98.375 in their standing, the first five Negro schools ranging from 86.8 to 99.5. Perfect scores were made by 84 white and 47 Negro children, making 131 out of 1,000 contestants." Prizes of $50 worth of records were given to the two highest schools and $25 worth given to those winning second place. The phenomenal success of the colored pupils is largely due to the high grade of efficiency and persistence on the part of Miss Morrison, the supervisor, and the co-operation of the school principals. Both Prof. Herrford, principal of Yates school, and Prof. Cox, principal of Wendell Phillips, say that they expect to keep the lead next year. WHITE TEACHER FIRED BECAUSE OF PREJUDICE. Saxton's River, Vt., June 2.—Roland C. Batchelder (white), science teacher at Vermont academy, has resigned at the request of the academy officials as a result of his refusal to eat at the same table with a boy of our group who recently arrived at the school from Haiti. The request that he resign, the officials said, was the outcome of alleged insolence to the faculty in connection with the Haitian. Batchelder is a graduate of Dartmouth, 1921. SHRINE SUED AGAIN. Tampa, Fla., June 2.—Egypt Temple of the Mystic Shrine (white) has filed suit for an injunction restraining the race organization of the same name from using the Shrine lodge paraphernalia and emblems. A large number of race men were made the defendants. This is the second such suit filed within the last three months. White Shriners of Texas obtained a temporary victory when an injunction was issued forbidding the race order from wearing the emblems. Illinois K. P. Having Trouble Chicago, Ill.—The Knights of Pythias of Illinois are much disturbed by a turn in their affairs which, it is declared, threatens their legal existence. It appears that the organization, which is one of the leading fraternal bodies in the state, has been operating for a number of years in what amounted to an illegal fashion. Two or three charters have been issued to the same lodge and failure to comply with the law makes it seem that their present name, The Grand Lodge Beneficiary of the K. of P. N. A. S. A. E. A. A. has no legal existence. These facts were brought out in the appeal of John R. Auter, former secretary of the endowment fund for a new trial. Auter was recently convicted of embezzlement after a hasty trial in which the jury was chosen and the trial conducted in a few hours. Attorney Wilson, a young colored lawyer making a name for himself by his sterling work here, was then called into the case and from that time the troubles of the Grand Lodge began. The Illinois K. of P.'s have been ruled, it is said, by a "closed group" of which Grand Chancellor Dr. A. A. Wesley, Major R. R. Jackson, Ed. Green, and Auter were the moving spirits. Loose business methods condoned by those in power enabled Auter, it is charged, to get away with a considerable amount which he lost, it is claimed, on the board of trade. His former close associates in the lodge failed to support him. With the Grand Lodge session looming up and the suggestion of the presiding judge to the officers that they get a lawyer and straighten out the tangle, which involves 6,000 members, local Pythians are aroused. On motion of Attorney Wilson, a new trial was granted to Auter and his bail was reduced from $15,000 to $5,000. He states he will make restitution. Chicago Aviatrix Performing Abroad Rotterdam, Holland, June 1.—Miss Bessie Coleman, the colored girl who has won fame as an aviatrix, was a recent visitor here. Since leaving Chicago, her home, last spring, she has taken additional training in France and arranged for the purchase of a machine which she plans to use in the school she is to establish in Chicago on her return. State Hist & Nut Hist Society State House LIABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Georgia Farmer Appeals to Court For Protection Asks $50,000 Damages and Injunction Restraining Whites From Further Molesting His Family—Wealthy Negro the Subject of Brutal Treatment by Envious Neighbors. (From New York Globe.) A veritable epidemic of lynching has spread throughout certain southern states. Since May 6 eight Negroes have been lynched in Texas, and Tuesday a Georgia mob surrounded a swamp in the effort to capture a fugitive Negro. No other nation which lays any claim to civilization indulges in such frantic exhibitions of primitive savagery. The phenomenon, however, is not peculiarly southern. Illinois is as bad as Texas, and Pennsylvania is not better than Virginia. It is a problem of race relations, and decent public sentiment in many southern states is opposed to insane manifestations of fear and cruelty in dealing with Negro offenders just as similar men and women disapprove mob violence in the north. The outrageous fact is, however, that in both regions feeble public officials condone the acts of the worst elements. Governor Pat M. Neff of Texas seems to be such a creature. When asked whether he contemplated doing anything to bring to justice mobs which murdered eight Negroes, he said that he had no statement to make. It is difficult to conceive a more cowardly attitude. If Mexico or any lesser country had indulged in violence to the degree permitted in Texas and at least condoned in silence, if not actually approved by the governor, intervention and war would be imminent. Texas is guilty of the same kind of success as is the Turk, and for much the same reason—race prejudice. Yet most Texans regard the Turks as a very cruel people! The anti-lynching bill, which has passed the House, is now pending in the Senate. A determined effort is being made by those senators who expect to appeal to Negro constituents in the autumn to obtain a floor debate upon the bill. On the other hand, Senator Borah and others whose opinions on matters of constitutional law are worthy of consideration now state that the present bill is unconstitutional. If that is true, the bill ought to be redrafted and, if possible, the constitutional objections ought to be removed. It is useless to give vent to a heroic legislative gesture by passing a doomed measure. It ought, however, to be possible to devise some legal means of compelling barbarous communities in the American nation to observe the common decencies of the law. That is the immediate problem. NEGRO WOMAN. EX-SLAVE. was a leaving girl, she ing in purchase to use sh in Louisville, Ky., May 31.—Millie Mulligan, Negro, died here Tuesday at the reputed age of 131 years, it was learned today. Records in the hands of the family that owned the woman as a slave are said to establish her age at 131. She leaves survivors to the fourth generation, six great-great-grandchildren. Judge Scores Jury Which Convicted Colored Woman Judge Scores Jury Which Convicted Colored Woman South Carolina Official Declared Woman Who Killed White Man in Defense of Her Honor Should Have Been Given an Acquital Greenville, S. C.—When a jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter in the Court of General Sessions against Lucille Tinsley, colored, who killed H. B. Hoard, a white man, while protecting her honor, Judge T. J. Mauldin of the Court of General Sessions expressed regret over the action of the jurors and gave the defendant the minimum sentence—two years in the penitentiary. In sentencing Lucille Tinsley, the judge said: "I am convinced, after carefully considering the evidence, that there would have been no miscarriage of justice if a verdict of acquittal had been rendered in this case." All the evidence submitted showed the colored woman was in her own home when the white man intruded in a drunken condition, Judge Mauldin said. Colored citizens worked hard to secure an acquittal for the defendant. Before the trial the Citizens' Co-operative Association was formed, with J. A. Brier, chairman; J. E. Means, secretary and Lee Willis, treasurer. Six hundred dollars was raised as a defense fund and a prominent white lawyer hired to represent the defense. One or two colored ministers are said to have refused moral or financial assistance as they were more concerned in ascertaining the character of Lucille Tinsley than in saving her life. The defendant killed Hoard, who followed her from her yard, where she was putting out her wash, into the house. When he sought to criminally assault her she grabbed a revolver from under the pillow and fatally shot him. Judge Mauldin expressed the opinion that had the defendant been a white woman an acquittal would have been a foregone conclusion. An effort will be made to secure a pardon for Lucille Tinsley. Negro Work in Corn Production More than 14,000 Negro farmers in North Carolina, Texas and Virginia, who raised 90,000 acres of corn last year under the advice of county agents, employed co-operatively by the United States Department of Agriculture and the state agricultural colleges, obtained average yields of 35 bushels an acre. The average for all farms in these states ranged from 17 to 25 bushels an acre. In Virginia, nearly 5,000 of the Negro demonstrators planted pure seed, and about 3,000 selected seed for their 1922 crop. All these demonstration plats of corn were harvested except 87 acres, which were "hogged down." It is estimated that 70 per cent of the Negro farmers there are following methods of growing corn taught by extension workers. Holley the Victim of CHEYENNE Race Prejudice at WYO., NEWS Naval Academy The report that Emil T. Holley, the young man appointed by the New York congressman to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., had fallen in his mental test is nothing more than could have been expected; that is to say, the report. Race prejudice in America is complete, absolute degenerate insanity, without modification or palliation. There is no question in the mind of any sane individual, whether he be white or black, but that the mental accomplishments and attainments of Holley are sufficient to pass any fair and just examination or test; but where the disposition is to force failure and thereby establish the absurdity of the prejudice claim to inferiority, it would be silly to expect men possessed with that prejudice, and therefore blind to every sense of reason, justice and honor, to do otherwise. We venture to say that if the questions submitted and the answers given by Holley should be submitted to any intelligent body of men undefiled by race prejudice, that his standing would be the highest or among the highest of those taking the test. The idea of placing in the hands of individuals the power to do just what their ignorant, blind and insane prejudice desires is not only humorous but ludicrous, to think that they will remake themselves by exercising a little portion of justice, reason and fairness. They say, however, that Holley failed in his mental test. We do not believe it; and it would take far more convincing proof than the words of the three examiners who claim not to have known the individual whose papers they were examining or whether he was white or colored. The fight for an entry into this academy must be continued; and whether Holley has a second opportunity or not, the eloquent citizens of this country must break down the wall of hellish prejudice which has prevailed against their just claims as citizens for over a half century. Better far that there be no Naval Academy, that there be no navy, that there be no ships of war, if they are to protect an institution of prejudice that has retarded the progress of civilization and is the break power to the advanced enlightenment of mankind in the Western Hemisphere.—Philadelphia American. The Lynching Bill Winder, Ga., May 29.—Andrew McClusky, wealthy Negro farmer of this place, through his attorney, filed a suit for $50,000 for damages and a petition restraining certain white men of the country from further molesting him. McClusky's petition stated that a mob visited his home recently and fired into it, wounding him and terrifying his family. The temporary restraining order was signed by Judge Blanton Fortson. Andrew McClusky owns more than 300 acres of the best land in the county, which has been greatly improved since he bought it. Numerous efforts have been made to purchase the land for a sum far less than its value by the whites and the refusal of the Negro farmer to sell is said to have aroused the ire of the whites. His fine stock has been shot and other damage done to the property, making it almost unbearable for him or his family to continue to reside in the county. An appeal to the leading citizens of the state who are members of the inter-racial committee, suggested the course for the Negro farmer to pursue and he is promised relief from his oppressors.

IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) WESTERN Judge Richard A. Ballinger, who secretary of the interior during President Taft's administration, died recently in Seattle after an illness of two days. Three men are dead, three badly injured and a dryer wrecked as the result of an explosion at the Trojan Powder Company plant at San Lorenzo, eleven miles from Oakland. Lodged in the Ada county jail at Boise is George Han, Jr., aged 11, who, according to his written confession, on two different occasions attempted to kill his mother by putting potion in her tea and coffee. The highest honor in the gift of the National Association of Real Estate boards came to L. F. Eppich of Denver, when he was elected president for the long term at the election for officers recently in San Francisco. Rodolph Valentino, screen actor, whose principal roles have been of love heroes, was cleared of a charge of bigamy at Los Angeles when the felony complaint was dismissed after a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Hanby. Closing of the Mexican-California border to all persons save those showing signs of having been successfully vaccinated has been urged upon the United States public health service by the State Board of Health, after an investigation of an epidemic of smallpox in Mexicali, Mexico. A five million dollar merger of tuna and sardine packing interests of southern California to be known as Van Camp Sea Food Company, Incorporated, has just been made public. Firms included in the merger are Van Camp Sea Food Company, White Star Canning Company, International Packing Corporation, Nielsen & Kittle Canning Co., Ltd., four of the largest fish packing plants of Los Angeles harbor, and two in San Diego, with several others acquired by association and purchase. WASHINGTON A bill designating the daisy as the national flower of the United States has been introduced by Representative Kissel, Republican, of New York. A resolution approving the holding of an international exposition at Philadelphia in 1926 in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence was passed by the House and sent to the Senate. Decision to build new veterans' bureau hospitals for the treatment of disabled soldiers at Liberty, N.Y.; Knoxville, Iowa; Chillicothe, Ohio, and Tacoma, Wash., and to lease a hospital at Muskogee, Okla., for the same use, has been announced by Director Forbes. More women will seek high political offices in elections this fall than ever before in the history of the country, a survey made by the National Woman's party shows. Already reports have been received that four women are candidates for the Senate, twenty for the House and two for governors of states. Chief Justice William Howard Taft of the Supreme Court will leave this country about the middle of June for England, where he will spend several weeks in a survey of the English courts, it was announced. The tour will be unofficial, Taft said. This is the first itt that a chief justice has made such a trip during his term of office. Within one month of the end of the fiscal year 1922, the government's ordinary receipts were $1,245,000,000 under those for the same period last year, according to treasury officials. Total ordinary receipts for eleven months were $3,626,000,000. In the same period last year they were $4,869,000,000. The loss is attributed almost entirely to shrinkage in income taxes. An injunction by Wyoming to prohibit Colorado from taking water from the Laramie river was granted by the Supreme Court to the extent of restraining Colorado from using an amount of water in excess of the amount fixed by the court. The state of Wyoming sought to prevent the diversion of water for the Greeley-Poudre irrigation project in Colorado. The Senate commerce committee unanimously agreed to incorporate in the rivers and harbors bill a provision committing the government to an ultimate expenditure of $1,394,000 for the construction of a deep-water harbor at Corpus Christi, Texas. The entire project calls for an expenditure of $5,000,000. A reduction of $51,362,749 in the public debt of the United States in May was announced by the Treasury Department recently. The nation's total gross debt on May 31 was $23,138,838,607 FOREIGN Twenty-five soldiers were killed recently when a train was blown up between Tomellin and Santa Catarina, Tlaxcala, Mexico, according to the newspaper La Raza. Nine rebels, including Epifaince Mendez, chief of the anti-government forces in the state of Michoacan, Mexico, have been killed in a fight with federal troops, according to advices to the war office in Mexico City from Ixtlan. At least 10,000 Hungarians taken prisoner by Russia early in the World war have joined the red army, according to returning Hungarian officers who have just been released by the Bolshevik. Of these about sixty are officers. Bandits have wrecked an American relief administration train in Russia and several officials are reported to have been killed, according to a Central News dispatch from Copenhagen quoting information received in Copenhagen from Moscow. The government has completed arrangements to pay during the coming fall interest amounting to £25,000,000 on the British debt to the United States. It has not been decided whether a special mission will be sent to Washington to discuss the debt with the American government. The brewing of beer is one of the chief buttresses in Britain's financial solvency, according to H. E. Field, president of the institute of brewing. Prohibition, he added, in the course of a recent address on this subject, would undoubtedly spell the financial and economic ruin of the country. Great Britain is planning to pay the United States $250,000,000 annually for interest upon the money borrowed from the United States during the war, it was learned in London from a semi-official source. Beginning in October the interest will be paid in two installments, $125,000,000 in October and $125,000,000 in the last part of March of the first of April. One hundred and seventeen children in one Russian famine district, fatally ill of glanders, were ordered shot by the local authorities to end their sufferings, according to a Helsingfors dispatch to the Daily News, London, quoting the Russian newspaper Krasnaya Gazette. The dispatch explained that the Bolshevist officers ordered the executions on the grounds of common humanity. The children became infected from eating diseased refuse. The French Olympic committee, with twenty-two federations represented, held a meeting in Paris and arrived at a decision to proceed with the organization of the Olympic games for 1924. The following communication was issued after the meeting: "The French Olympic committee has decided unanimously to continue with all the means at its disposal the organization of the games for 1924. It authorizes its president to make a declaration to this effect to the international Olympic committee and to the public authorities."

Five seamen were injured recently in an explosion aboard the submarine H-3 while the craft was on patrol duty off the Coronado islands, forty miles from San Diego. Henry Simpson, nominee for President of the United States on the National People's Christian party ticket in 1912 and candidate for Republican and Greenback party nominations for President in 1880, died of senility at Broken Arrow, Okla. What is believed to be the second death penalty imposed on a white woman in Georgia was returned at Atlanta recently when a jury found Mrs. Cora Lou Vinson guilty of murder in the first degree for the slaying of her husband. Dr. W. D. Vinson. Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago has demanded the resignation of the entire school board of ten members and the school board attorney, Henry Bither, recently indicted by the grand jury on charges of embezzlement, larceny and conspiracy. The "big five" Chicago packers—Swift, Morris, Wilson, Armour and Cudahy—and many of the small packers have agreed to pay 10 cents a hundred above the market price on all hogs shipped to the Chicago live stock market providing they are free from tuberculosis and come from a farm where both cattle and hogs are not infected with this disease. Cyanide was placed on the free list recently after a long battle on the tariff schedules in the Senate. The committee amendment placing a duty of 10 per cent ad valorem was stricken out on a motion offered by Senator Oddie of Nevada and adopted 46 to 14. The restoration of cyanide to the free list is vitally important to the mining industry of the west and to the citrus industry of California, where the chemical is used as a fumigant against destructive insects. Charles Shafstall, 20 years old, has been arrested in Philadelphia charged with obtaining $25 under false pretenses from the wife of former Congressman Keating of Colorado. Shafstall is said by police to have confessed writing a letter to Mrs. Kenting claiming to be her son Percy, 16 years old, who disappeared May 10. Henry Ford has intimated privately that he would run for President "if the people of the country desire him to do so," but "he would refuse to spend any money to bring about his nomination or election." Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Boulder.—The University of Colorado will graduate 270 seniors Monday, June 12, at the close of the most elaborate commencement week held since before the war. Denver.—Richard Pinhorn, proprietor of the Manhattan restaurant, the most widely-known restaurant in the West, died at few days ago at his residence in Denver, of uremic poisoning. Rocky Ford.—Bert Hopper has received two carloads of bees colonies, numbering more than 900, which is the largest shipment to this section for years. The bees were shipped from New Mexico. Longmont.—The annual summer field meeting and basket picnic of the Colorado Honey Producers' Association, and the Larimer and Boulder County Beekeepers' Association was held in Longmont, June 3. Pueblo.—Postmaster General Hubert Work disposed of all his interests in Woodcraft hospital, located in Pueblo, the property being purchased by Dr. C. W. Thompson, who has been associated with Dr. Work for the past ten years. Monte Vista.—E. L. Sprout, 67 years old, well known rancher, died of injuries incurred when he was struck by a motor rail car recently. Sprout was walking along the trucks and, being slightly deaf, he did not hear the approach of the car. Denver.—Hot lead from Patrolman William Pundt's revolver summarily ended the banditry of an unidentified man less than two minutes after he had held up and robbed Stanley C. Crouch of $104.35 in a Continental Oil Company filling station at Thirty-third and Downing streets, recently. Denver.—David Stead, formerly secretary of Inspiration Lodge No. 143, A. F. and A. M., pleaded not guilty to a short check charge when arraigned before Judge Charles C. Butler in the West Side Court. Another charge, that of embezzling funds of the lodge, is pending against Stead in a magistrate's court. Lamar.—One man was killed and two others critically injured near Granada, twenty miles east of Lamar, when an automobile in which they were driving was struck by a Shriners' special train bound for the San Francisco convention. Richard Bagshaw of Knowles, Okla., said to have been the driver of the car, was instantly killed. Critically injured were Bert Boseman and G. H. Kelly, also of Knowles, Okla. The latter two are in the Lamar hospital. Alamosa.—If conditions in the San Luis valley may be accepted as a barometer of the conditions of the state as a whole, it may be said that good times are hovering near. The wide diversity of farm products raised in Alamosa is a great contributing factor in the hastening of the return to normalcy, and the present market standing of many of these products, coupled with a satisfactory labor situation, seems to indicate the dawn of a new prosperity. Las Animas.-The largest irrigation development in Colorado during the last ten years is being made in Bent county, in the lower Arkansas Valley, under direction and control of the State Board of Land Commissioners and the state engineer. The land was government land, segregated and passed to the state under the terms of the Carey act, and comprises a fine body of 25,000 acres. The majority of the land owners come from northern Colorado, with others from the middle western states. Pueblo.—The first anniversary of Pueblo's greatest disaster found a newer and more progressive city than ever before. The great toll of life taken by flood waters never can be forgotten, but the memory of the wrecked buildings and homes has been wiped out by the erection of new buildings and residences, larger and more substantial than those swept away. Antonito.—Jose Risos was shot and seriously wounded in a jail break at Conejos, and Luiz Gonzales is at large being pursued by a posse and a pack of bloodhounds. Hayes, another prisoner, returned to the jail after running a short distance.

Fort Collins.—Women members of the senior class of the Colorado Agricultural college believe that an average of $2,100 a year would be a sufficient income to support a married couple, a canvass of the class revealed. The men, however, had higher ideals and named figures averaging $2,050 Preference of the women regarding the occupations of their husbands differed widely and included farmers, bankers, doctors, engineers, newspaper men and business men. Not one, however, expressed a preference for a teacher. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Aguillar.—Ella Centers, 25 years old, the daughter of a boarding house keeper at the Royal mine, one mile northwest of Aguillar, and Wilbur N. Ferguson, 22, of Saco, Maine, a junior at the Colorado State School of Mines, who was employed temporarily as a watchman at the Royal property, were shot to death a few days ago by Joseph McGonigal, 35, a watchman employed at the Jewel mine. The shooting followed threats McGonigal is said to have made against Ferguson and occurred in the Royal mine boarding house, as Ferguson was writing a letter to his mother in Bangor, Me. Miss Centers was at work in the room as McGonigal entered. McGonigal fired once, the bullet striking Ferguson in the heart and killing him instantly. As Miss Centers ran screaming from the house, McGonigal fired again. This second bullet struck the girl in the leg. She sought refuge in an arroyo while McGonigal secured a shotgun, supposedly in the boarding house, and started in pursuit. She was running along the dry arroyo toward a bridge where five men were working and was begging loudly to McGonigal not to shoot, the workmen said, when the armed man raised the shotgun to his shoulder and aimed slowly. The charge of buckshot struck her head and killed her instantly. Denver.—The second bandit to be shot and killed in an attempted holdup in Denver within twenty-four hours, net death a few nights ago when he entered the White Star garage at Cherry street and Leats Dale drive, on the Sullivan-Parker road, and engaged in a gun battle with George T. Garson, a gun battle with George T. Garson, of the garage. An accomplice is believed to have escaped on a motorcycle. From letters found on the dead banilit's body, his name is believed to be W. L. Stephenson, and he is thought to have relatives in Colorado Springs. Trinidad.-The Colorado State Federation of Labor declared itself for a showdown between organized labor and the state rangers, under the constitution of the United States. After hearing the report of Nock Fontecchio, organizer of the United Mine Workers of America, that he was prohibited from holding a meeting of coal miners at Aguilar by state rangers stationed there, the convention proposed to go to Aguilar in a body and hold a session of the convention. A committee was named to make arrangements for the trip. Colorado Springs—John McParland was re-elected president of the International Typographical Union in the election held May 24, according to returns from 660 of the 780 local unions, received at the Union Printers' home. McParland defeated Walter W. Barrett, present first vice president, by 3,100 votes. Charles P. Howard was elected first vice president, James J. Hoban second vice president, and John W. Hays, secretary-treasurer, the latter being re-elected by 3,500 majority Greeley.—One of the worst hail and rainstorms which has struck Greeley in the last twelve years caused damage unofficially estimated at $250,000, a few days ago. Sweeping a path more than two miles wide, a downpour of hallstones, some as large as golf balls, shattered hundreds of windows in residences and business houses, damaged young crops in the outlying districts and flooded many basements in the heart of the city. Colorado Springs.—A cloudburst at Templeton gap, northeast of Colorado Springs, sent a wall of water ten feet high through Papeton, a mining camp four miles northeast of Colorado Springs, marooned scores of people, washed out portions of the Denver & Rio Grande and Rock Island railroad tracks and did thousands of dollars' worth of damage to residences, gardens and civic improvements. Trinidad.—W. I. Reilly, a member of the State Industrial Commission and a delegate from the Typographical union of Colorado Springs, was refused a seat in the convention of the Colorado State Federation of Labor recently.

RAIL WORKERS NOT FOR STRIKE PRESIDENTS OF SIX ROADS SAY UNION LEADERS ARE INSPIRING TALK OF WALKOUT. MEN EXPECT REDUCTION THREE STRIKE BALLOTS OR DERED DISPATCHED TO 400,000 RAILWAY SHOPMEN. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Chicago.—Declaring that there is no talk of a strike among railway workers, the presidents of six Chicago roads issued a joint statement charging that all threats of a walkout were being inspired by union leaders. The statement, which was signed by H. E. Byram of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; Hale Holden, the Burlington; W. H. Finley, the northwestern; J. E. Gorman, Rock Island; C. H. Markham, Illinois Central, and S. M. Felton, Chicago, Great Western, said in part: "Threats of a strike, made by leaders of the railroad labor unions, are appearing with such frequency that the time seems opportune for questioning the soundness of their talk. There is a very good reason for doubting whether the men themselves, that is the railroad employés, really are in sympathy with resistance to the decisions of the United States railway labor board. "The truth is that the men have been expecting a reduction in their wages and have made or are making preparations to meet the new scale. There is no talk of strike among the men." Cincinnati. — Three strike ballots were ordered dispatched to the 400,000 railway shopmen of the country, with an urgent appeal that the vote be returned to union headquarters in Chicago by June 25, leaving a margin of five days to clear the deck for action before the shopmen's $60,000,000 wage cut, ordered by the Railroad Labor Board, goes into effect on July 1. Following the release of the ballots by the executive council of the six federated shop crafts, international headquarters of the six unions were instructed to send out a letter to all locals urging immediate action on the ballots. The letter was regarded as a certain forecast of a walkout on July 1, if the vote of the membership favors a strike. To facilitate taking the vote, every local lodge was instructed to call a special meeting immediately on receipt of the printed ballots, which are now on the presses in Chicago. The letter was signed by the six international heads: William H. Johnston of the machinists; J. A. Franklin, bollermakers; James Kline, blacksmiths; J. J. Hynes, sheet metal workers; James P. Noonan, electrical workers; Martin F. Ryan, carmen, and B. M. Jewell, president railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor. The action of the shop crafts follows a decision by all the railway unions affected by wage reductions. The triple-barreled strike ballot of the shopmen resulted from notification from the labor board that it had declined to order restoration of wages and working conditions declared to have been illegally changed on certain roads. Indicts 37 Ku Klux Klan. Los Angeles.—Three high officials and thirty-four alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan were indicted by the Los Angeles county grand jury recently on five counts of felony charges in connection with a raid at Inglewood, near Los Angeles, on April 22 last. The klan officers were William S. Coburn, grand goblin of the Pacific domain, and supreme attorney of the order; G.W. Price, king kleagle for the state of California, and N. A. Baker, kleagle or organizer for the county of Los Angeles. Villa Franca Death List Drops. Buenos Aires.—Discovery of additional survivors from the wreck of the steamship Villa Franca on the Paraná river has brought the estimated death list from eighty to thirty-four, according to advices to La Naclon. Among the survivors were Prof. E. W. Kemmerer of Princeton University and his family. Dr. Kemmerer is investigating South American financial conditions for the United States government.

MASON of the year has arrived when the heart of parts the "call of the wild," and days are being counted-planned vacation trip begins. The charm and the location in mountains or by the lakes or seashore can be that restful period that takes the individual avail him to a closer communion with nature, "who is a various language." America offers a great variety ofuting resorts for the vacation minded and the fisherman can follow his natural bent in any section who enjoy the quiet of camp life may find it in Airdrondack or Catskill mountains, or along the edge of Hudson. "Moonlight on the Hudson," what beats the tales attach to its history. Then again, the haverous country of the northwest, or the flowers, with opalescent lakes here and there, walled in mountains. All of these have their charm and appeal to those who seek release from the maddest parts of a great metropolis. But America's real pitheater, is to be found in the "Heart of the Colorado, with climate incomparable and a stream, with fish and wild game in abundance, sublime and awe inspiring chasms are to be colorings and fascinating to the point of ecstasy and windows. Here glacier and crystalline lakes and toes do the harmonies emanating from a giant creation to carry the beholder to a fuller reality, mighty God. Should we wonder then that Colorado of the annual tourist season with something? It is the time when we look for a visit from us to find special delight in showing there in mountain parks and canions. It is noticed that group come from the humid Southland and sulten for the cool breezes of Colorado. And there is a giant than mere climatic inducements. The evince and many strange allurements of cupid or stroll along roaring streams or picturesque, preserved in legend and song as the "queen of the appelative is well placed. In no other vacancy the variety of amusement be found. And so our business man or woman from all parts of the borders of Colorado and see us as we are, is meeting in succeeding tourist season. There is something lean, a mighty spectacle to behold, but majesty mountains. Look then to the outdoor life of a suriner roast on Lookout mountain is more palate manner at Rector's on Broadway. Providence and our clam bakes and they are indeed toothsome, a trout fry or venison roast in the Rockies. A real vacation for romance and restful segrega and all to Colorado. THE SEASON of the year has arrived when the heart of young and old hearts the "call of the wild," and days are being counted when that long-planned vacation trip begins. The charm and actual benefits of a real vacation in mountains or by the lakes or seashore cannot be readily described. It is that restful period that takes the individual away from self and transports him to a closer communion with nature, "who in her visible forms speaks a various language." America offers a great variety of playgrounds or outing resorts for the vacation minded and the naturalist or trapper or fisherman can follow his natural bent in any section he chooses. Even those who enjoy the quiet of camp life may find it in great profusion in the Odirondack or Catskill mountains, or along the ever impressive and majestic Hudson. "Moonlight on the Hudson," what beautiful legends and romantic tales attach to its history. Then again, the great mountainous and cavernous country of the northwest, or the flower and dell of the Yosemite, with opalescent lakes here and there, walled in by massive snow-capped mountains. All of these have their charm and powers of special appeal to those who seek release from the maddening crowd or the busy marts of a great metropolis. But America's real playground, its one vast amphitheater, is to be found in the "Heart of the Rockies" here in our own beloved Colorado, with climate incomparable and vast regions of forest and stream, with fish and wild game in abundance. Here the world's most sublime and awe inspiring chasms are to be found, magnificent in colorings and fascinating to the point of ecstasy in its varying lights and shadows. Here glacier and crystalline lakes and towering waterfalls mingle as do the harmonies emanating from a giant harp, veritable wonders of creation to carry the beholder to a fuller realization of the powers of Almighty God. Should we wonder then that.Coloradoans look to the approach of the annual tourist season with something more than a passing thrill? It is the time when we look for a visit from the "folks back home," when we find special delight in showing them our unique, incomparable mountain parks and canions. It is noticed that more and more of our group come from the humid Southland and sultering East each year to enjoy the cool breezes of Colorado. And there is a reason for it vastly important than mere climatic inducements. The everlasting hills breathe romance and many strange allurements of cupid can be traced back to the stroll along roaring streams or picturesque, winding glen. Colorado is preserved in legend and song as the "queen jewel of the Rockies and the appelative is well placed. In no other vacation spot can such complete variety of amusement be found. And so our invitation to professional and business man or woman from all parts of the country to visit the wonders of Colorado and see us as we are, is meeting with large response each succeeding tourist season. There is something entrancing about the ocean, a mighty spectacle to behold, but majesty can be found only in the mountains. Look then to the outdoor life of a summer in Colorado. A weiner roast on Lookout mountain is more palatable than an after-show dinner at Rector's on Broadway. Providence and Long Branch boast of their clam bakes and they are indeed toothsome, but not to be compared to a trout fry or venison roast in the Rockies. Thus for a real vacation for romance and restful segregation we again invite one and all to Colorado. THE DYER BILL AND THE CONSTITUTION. SONS inexplainable and unfathomable to some, wardice to others and as base betrayal and treason many Republican members of the U. S. Senate The Dyer anti-lynching bill under the pretext that led on this ground the bill very nearly went deeks ago when the Senate committee on the judge adverse report on the measure. The Dyer bill measure, no matter how carefully safe-guarded is certain to run the gauntlet of the courts FOR REASONS inexplainable and unfathomable to some, appearing as rank cowardice to others and as base betrayal and treachery to still others, many Republican members of the U. S. Senate are holding aloof from the Dyer anti-lynching bill under the pretext that it is unconstitutional. And on this ground the bill very nearly went down to defeat about two weeks ago when the Senate committee on the judiciary decided to make an adverse report on the measure. The Dyer bill or any other anti-lynching measure, no matter how carefully safe-guarded as to its constitutionality, is certain to run the gauntlet of the courts til a final decision is handed down by the U. S. Supreme Court. Therefore, just why any senator, if honest with himself, and honest to the already existent provisions of the constitution, should hesitate or quibble over a measure of such serious import is utterly beyond us. It does not bear the ear marks of sincerity. Plainly speaking, the Republican party is definitely committed to the enactment of a strong anti-lynching measure. It was upon this plea more than any other, that the party gained the solid support of Negro voters in the last general election. No other issue is so vital to us and no question ranks so deeply in our breasts. It is hard to conceive that any political unit so fortified with power as is the Republican party, would abandon an entire group of its supporters to the evil forces of anarchy and misrule. Then again, it is almost pathetic to observe with what veneration and tender solicitude some of our statesmen view the constitution when ever any measure of benefit to the Negro is offered. But in a strict sense the Dyer bill is not of special benefit to the Negro alone. It is designed to save American civilization itself, to call a halt upon the bestial savagery that has started through Texas in the last month to the shame and disgust of every Christian heart. We admire the attitude of one senator who said, "Pass the bill now and argue its constitutionality later." Brave words, bravely said. Then let us again quote that North Carolina editor who, sickened at the smell of the burning flesh of human beings, said, "We might as well look facts in the face; the rest of the world has pretty good reason for believing that the South is only semi-civilized." Again brave words, even though a shameful admission, and the South will go on being semi-civilized, it will go on in its saturnalia of crime and barbarity, it will continue to gouge out the eyes of helpless Negroes with red hot pokers, it will continue to dis-embowel women and to burn 15-year-old boys at the stake, unless the strong arm of the government reaches out in its majesty and demands a halt. In the light then of these well known conditions the attempt to hide behind the thin screen of constitutional limitations is a virtual admission that this government is powerless to protect its own citizens. That it can command its citizens to go to war and get killed in order that the world might be safe for democracy, but it cannot protect these same citizens from a henious mob. However, the unconstitutional fallacy concerning the Dyer bill has been well exploded. The most eminent of American authorities have submitted briefs to the Senate judiciary committee upholding the constitutionality of the measure. Hon. Moorfield Story, the peer of them all, sums up the situation in a masterful brief and observes that it is up to Congress to pass the bill and leave the Supreme Court to its own interpretation of the law. By PRESIDENT HARDING, and Other Government Heads. Without it, life, liberty, and property are insecure. The history of civilization has been a continuous struggle for law and order. The only sound position for those who favor respect for law to take is that those charged with law enforcement must enforce all the laws and all good citizens must obey all the laws. The government will endure on the rock of law enforcement or it will perish in the quicksand of lawlessness. Guy D. Goff, Assistant to the Attorney General.—The man who cannot obey the law, the man who cannot fearlessly enforce the law, and with the courage of his convictions bring before our judicial tribunals every dastardly and contemptible crook, no matter how high his rank, has no place in our system. Any new law which interferes with the so-called personal liberty of the community must pass through the stages of open violation, secret violation, passive enforcement, and then universal observance throughout the land. Roy A. Haynes, Federal Prohibition Commissioner.—Nothing can affront the American people more than the statement that we cannot enforce our laws. In this statement lies the death warrant of the republic, for this nation cannot endure without reverence for law, without the recognized authority of law. It is in the last analysis Americanism in conflict with Old World customs and concept; it is democracy against avarice, lawlessness and anarchy. The issue divides men not upon the question of their appetites but upon the question of their loyalty to their country. Judicial Section, American Bar Association.—The judicial section of the American Bar association venturing to speak for all the judges, wishes to express this warning to the American people: Reverence for law and enforcement of law depend mainly upon the ideals and customs of those who occupy the vantage ground of life in business and society. The people of the United States, by solemn constitutional and statutory enactment, have undertaken to suppress the age-long evil of the liquor traffic. When, for the gratification of their appetites or the promotion of their interests, lawyers, bankers, great merchants and manufacturers, and social leaders, both men and women, disobey and scoff at this law, or any other law, they are aiding the cause of anarchy and promoting mob violence, robbery and homicide; they are sowing dragon's teeth, and they need not be surprised when they find that no judicial or police authority can save our country or humanity from reaping the harvest. To Relieve the Agricultural Depression and to Make Farming Profitable Mr. President, the most important problem awaiting solution today is to relieve the depression existing in agriculture and to make farming permanently profitable. When agriculture has been sensibly and scientifically organized and placed upon a remunerative basis the most serious barrier to our material betterment has been removed. Experience discloses that every panic and every financial and industrial depression which has cursed this country invariably has been preceded by a great fall in agricultural products, and hence a great reduction in the profits derived from the farm. The beginning of the present frightful financial and industrial depression was first heralded by the great fall in the prices of all the varied agricultural products. No relief will come from these wretched conditions, as the past has clearly demonstrated, until the prices of farm products have greatly increased and this business again becomes profitable. The reason of this is plain when you give the matter thoughtful consideration. One-fourth of the entire wealth of this nation is invested directly in farming. Thirty-five per cent of our people are directly engaged in agricultural pursuits. If we add to these the varied industries that use the products of the soil in manufacturing, the mercantile establishments that traffic in farm products, the transportation and shipping companies which distribute these, and those industries that furnish implements and supplies to the farmers, it may be fairly estimated that almost practically one-half of our population is either directly or indirectly dependent upon the prosperity of the farms. To Save the Young Folks From Modern Dance Hall and Sex Problem Play The South Congregational church of Springfield, Mass., holds semi-monthly dances. It isn't the old-fashioned quadrille or even the waltz, but the modern dances, including the toddle. And even the descendants of John Alden seem to enjoy it as much as the young people. It was the only way to save the young folks from the dance hall and the sex problem play of the local theaters. If the young people want to dance they are going to dance, and if you won't let them dance in the church youth will be served and they will go some place else, probably the cheap dance hall. That accounts for many of the depraved tendencies of our "nice" boys and girls today. I convinced elders of my church that if they allowed their children to dance at all it should be where dancing could be made right, and if it was right for them it was right for us, so we all join in. It has increased the attendance of my church from 300 to 1,700 and the young people, who would not come to the regular evening service, now flock to the church Sunday nights, where they have supper and clean motion pictures. Girls and boys who took no interest in church work before are among the best workers in the Olivet community house, which is a defunct church building turned over to the work of social betterment in connection with my church. It is not true that clean motion pictures will not pay. The theater which we run in connection with our church and at which sex plays are taboo, clears over $175 a month and is increasing every day. HARRIS & EWES President Warren G. Harding.—It is absolutely essential to the maintenance of a secure society and to the attainment of a proper moral plane that the law should be recognized as sacred and supreme. It should have at its back and enlisted in its support every element of the community that realizes the desirability of sound, secure, and stable institutions. Disregard of one statute inevitably must breed a lack of respect for the law in general. Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty.—Respect for law is the one essential fact of our civilization. By REV. J.

Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Greene, the former of the publicity department of the Denver Dry Goods Company, will leave the city next Wednesday for western and northwestern points, visiting relatives and friends in Portland, Seattle, then by steamer to Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia, remaining at Barven Island for a week, thence to San Francisco and return home by the Rio Grande Western. Mr. Greene, in his capacity as publicity agent of the Denver Dry Goods Company, one of the largest and most fashionable stores of the West, has maintained the standard reputation for this firm, and through his untiring efforts, zeal and devotion to duty, has won the confidence of the public by the increase of their patronage and their commendation of the courtesy shown them from time to time. Such business men deserve a respite from their arduous duties and therefore the COLORADO STATESMAN is glad to wish Mr. and Mrs. Greene a pleasant trip and a safe return, recuperating to the extent of being strengthened to tackle the fall duties with renewed vim and vigor. INVESTIGATE. I want several parties who can pay $10 a month for five month. A small fortune awaits you. Address 600 E. & C. Bldg. But a few weeks ago John R. Kinzy, a former Denverite who paid a visit to his old home and met many of his associates and friends, had the opportunity as he often expressed, "to see Denver once more," and little did we think that he would have passed away soon after the fulfillment of his desire. Mr. Kinzy lived in Denver for many years and made many friends whom he never forgot, and during his sojourn in Los Angeles, he kept in touch with his former home, having always in his heart a warm spot for Denver and its people. It was therefore very astonishing to learn of his sudden illness and death last week, Wednesday, May 31, in California, and with more than passing regret at his loss, the COLORADO STATESMAN joins his many friends extending heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved widow and son. He dies yet lives in our memory. WELLINGTON BERRY LAID TO REST. The summons having been obeyed by our departed friend and former colleague, the last rite and respect were paid to the deceased at the funeral ceremonies which were held at the Church of the Holy Redeemer last Monday morning, the same attended by a large number of citizens including professional and business men and women. The service was very impressive, Father Rahmning priest in charge, while Miss Mabel Cole sang in a manner that helped to console the mourners. The pallbearers were: Editor Jos. D. D. Rivers, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Dr. E. T. McClain, Messrs. Geo. Gross, Wm. Graham and James F. Clark. Interment at Fairmount cemetery under the direction of Douglass Undertaking Company. May his soul rest in peace.

Notwithstanding the dull times, citizens of Denver are showing considerable activities looking toward community betterment. Few communities can excel Denver in this respect. Plans for the construction of at least two churches are under way. At Shorter A. M. E. Church there is a program of reconstruction to the extent of nearly $50,000. The good people of this church are especially industrious and so delight their church that there is little doubt they will put over any program for which they have arranged. The congregation of Scott M. E. Church, though small, is ambitious and under capable leadership, is sure to put their program over. They have already purchased and paid for the lot on which their church is to be built at the corner of Ogden street and Twenty-sixth avenue. They point with just pride to a plan of their new church home on exhibition in the present place of worship and which calls for a structure estimated to cost nearly $75,000. This fs to be a community church with conveniences for all manner of community activities under proper auspices. This is a commendable idea, and judging from the enthusiasm of the members, this program is sure to be consummated in the not distant future. Next comes the Y, M, C, A, with its program for building a beautiful edifice, to cost not less than $60,000. The lot already bought and sufficient money subscribed, the wheels of activity will be set in motion at the earliest possible time. With the usual influences at work behind these plans, no doubt should be entertained but that their realization will be a matter of a short time. The Denver Colored Civic Association, the most unique and progressive body of citizens of which any city might be proud, comprising as it does, almost every citizen of Denver deserving mention, comes forward with a building program involving an expenditure of approximately $75,000. Since this plan is advanced by the best brains of our group in Denver its ultimate accomplishment is looked forward to with deep interest. Bravo, good citizens! There is no better spirit for the people of any community to show than to desire to improve in every way the city in which they live. This attitude of our Denver citizens is, on the face of it, an evidence of the genuineness of their citizenship. With a population of only 10,000, however, such plans seem somewhat elaborate and our fellow-citizens might be counselled to a more modest program. FUNERAL NOTICE. Douglass Undertaking Company.

TEMPERATURE AT CENTER OF CAN IMPORTANT IN PRESERVING FOOD JARS OF EGGS AND POTATOES For Uniformly Good Results a Sufficient Degree of Heat Must Penetrate All Parts of Jar and De Maintained Long Enough to Render All Microorganisms Harmless. Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. In canning work one of the most important considerations is the time required for the food at the center of the container to reach the temperature of the retort or water bath in which it is being processed. United States Department of Agriculture Bulletin 956, A Study of the Factors Affecting Temperature Changes in the Container During the Canning of Fruits and Vegetables, which has just been issued, centers attention on these time-temperature relations. The purpose has been to bring out the underlying principles, rather than to lay down definite rules of procedure. The results of this experimentation are of interest to scientific workers in the field, to commercial canneries, and similar large-scale handlers of foods. Successful preservation of foods by canning is due primarily to the fact that in the processing, or cooking, the bacteria and other micro-organisms which cause spoilage are destroyed. Since the elimination of these micro-organisms is dependent upon the use of heat as a sterilizing agent, it becomes of paramount importance to know just what temperature and processing periods will destroy them. If uniformly good results are to be expected a sufficient degree of heat must penetrate to all parts of the can or jar and must be maintained long enough to render all micro-organisms harmless. Before an accurate judgment as to the proper cooking period can be found it is necessary to know how long a time is required for the heat to reach the food at the center of the container. The mercury thermometer, if properly calibrated and standardized, has been found sufficiently accurate for practical work. A satisfactory apparatus has been devised for using the mercury thermometer to measure temperature changes at the center of the can. The fruits and vegetables as processed in these tests fall roughly into two groups with reference to time- FISH FLAKE TIMBALES Pick the contents of one can of fish flakes into bits with a silver fork, add fourth cupful of sifted bread crumbs from the center of a stale loaf, a fourth of a teaspoonful of paprika, two well beaten eggs and a cupful and a half of milk. Mix well, turn into buttered timbale molds or patty pans, stand these in a pan of boiling water reaching nearly to their top and bake until the centers are firm. Unmold carefully on a hot platter, decorate with sliced hard-boiled eggs and turn over all a cupful of drawn butter, cream or tomato sauce and serve at once. Amount May Be Cut Almost in Half by Careful Use—Keep in Dry Place If Possible. The amount of soap required in a household may almost be cut in half by careful use. Keep a box ahead, cut bars in two, remove from the box and pile in a dry place if possible. Green soap is used up twice as fast as the seasoned bars. Never allow it to soak in a floor pail, tub or dishpan—a great but very common waste. To save soap and clean your hands, try putting clean scraps of dry toilet soap through the food chopper, using the finest plate. Mix one part of the powdered soap with four parts of cornmeal. Another good way to remove stains from the hands and to keep them soft is to use cornmeal and vinegar and rub thoroughly. Or try conserving soap by washing the hands with a table-spoonful of cornmeal. It is gritty enough to remove the dirt and leaves the hands soft and white. temperature relations. The first group consists of those fruits and vegetables, such as string beans, packed so that there is a free liquid filling the interspaces between the pieces of material. The rate of change of temperature at the center of the can in this group is very rapid. The second group consists of materials of a heavy or pasty nature that are packed in such a way that little or no convection can occur, as with corn or sweet potatoes. The rate of change of temperature in this group is very slow. Sometimes mechanical agitation is employed. Variations in the composition of the material, however, have very little effect if the consistency of the material is such that convection can occur. Salt Has Little Effect. Salt has very little direct effect upon the rate of change of temperature in the can. Dilute sugar solutions have only a small effect, but the concentrated solutions retard the rate of change. Solutions of starch also retard it. In 5 per cent starch the consistency becomes such that all convection is stopped and the rate of change is very slow. Other material of a viscous nature, such as protein or pectin, retards the rate of change of temperature. The retarding effect of a glass container is of more importance in the first group than in the second. Glass cools faster than tin in the air, but cannot be cooled in water. Differences in the diameter of the container are only of importance in the processing of materials of heavy consistency such as corn. Whether the processing temperature is 100 degrees, 100 degrees, 160 degrees, or 121 degrees C., the temperature of the bath or retort is reached in the container in approximately the same time. Higher temperatures, however, break down the tissues of tomatoes, which are a striking exception to the rule. Both the single period and intermittent processes are studied in this bulletin, which is available upon application to the United States Department of Agriculture.

STAURANT nd Short Orders 1848 Arapahoe ROWAN MAY GET BELATED REWARD RECOGNITION IS ASKED FOR HIS BRAVERY IN DELIVERING "MESSAGE TO GARCIA." Members of Patriotic and Historical Societies Will Attend the Unveiling of the Statue of Pocahontas on Jamestown Island. Bv EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—Major Andrew S. Rowan, U. S. A., son of the late Vice Admiral Rowan of the navy, now living in retirement in Berkeley, Cal., may yet receive official recognition for his great exploit of 22 years ago, when he penetrated the lines of the Spanish army in Cuba and delivered to General Garcia, commanding the Cuban forces in the interior, an important message from President McKinley. At that time he was a lieutenant on the staff of General Miles, in command of the army. War was imminent between the United States and Spain over conditions in Cuba and it became important to establish communication with Garcia's small army concealed in an almost inaccessible tangle in the interior of the island, where the Spanish troops could not find it. No one here knew where Garcia was nor how to reach him and it was almost a forlorn hope when General Miles handed Lieutenant Rowan the President's message to the Cuban patrol and told him to deliver it if possible. He Delivered the Message. He Delivered the Message. Rowan asked no questions as to how he was to find Garcia, but started at once on his perilous mission. He managed to land on the island and get through the Spanish cordon without detection. Finally, with the assistance of native guides, he made his way through tangled forests and jungles to Garcia's headquarters, with the result that the Cuban troops subsequently were able to co-operate effectively with the American forces in the operations that followed. Rowan's exploit was the subject of Elbert Hubbard's famous brochure. "Message to Garcia." Some of Major Rowan's friends, including Senator Shortridge of California, believe that he is entitled to some tangible recognition for his services. At their instance the board of awards of the army is considering the case. It is pointed out that as Major Rowan's exploit did not involve "actual conflict with the enemy beyond the call of duty" and was not "extraordinary heroism in action," he cannot be awarded the congressional medal of honor nor the distinguished service cross, but that he may be eligible for the award of the distinguished service medal for gallant and meritorious services in a position of responsibility. Award of the distinguished service cross and the distinguished service medal was authorized by act of congress in June, 1919, and that act provided that medals of honor should be awarded thereafter only for future services justifying the award. Pccahontas to Be Honored. A distinguished representation of the numerous patriotic and historical societies of Washington will journey down the Potomac to attend the interesting ceremonies planned in connection with the unveiling of the statue of Pocahontas, on Jamestown island, June 3. The erection of the graceful and pleasing figure of the Indian princess by William Ordway Partridge will commemorate the two hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the landing of the first permanent colony from England under the redoubtable Capt. John Smith. The first settlements along the James river, under Sir Walter Raleigh, and some previous ones under Spanish guidance perished from disease or the attacks of hostile Indians. This settlement at Jamestown dates officially from May 13, 1607, and is, therefore, 13 years prior to the landing of the Massachusetts pilgrims at Plymouth. The Pocahontas Memorial society, which had collected the funds for this worthy tribute to the noble Indian maid who twice saved the colony from certain destruction, was founded in this city about fifteen years ago, and it now claims a membership of 3,000, in practically every state of the Union and many of the insular possessions. Membership has not been confined to descendants of Pocahontas, though the society is largely composed of those who trace their ancestry back to the courageous young friend of the whites against her father, Powhatan. the memorial society was founded jointly by Miss Lizzie McLain of this city and Miss Mary Desha of Kentucky. Its present officers are Miss Ella Lorraine Dorsey, president; Mrs. William Otway Owen, Mrs. A. Campbell Pryor and Mrs. John L. McNellivice presidents; Charles C. Glover is treasurer, with Mrs. John R. Garrison as assistant treasurer; Miss Mary Lee Goddard, recording secretary, and Miss Lillian Reed, corresponding secretary. Charles Crittenden Calhoun is the legal officer. Dr. Le Breton Will Be Missed. The state of Buenos Aires is getting a mighty fine senator and the republic of Argentina is losing an able and efficient ambassador in the person of Dr. Thomas A. Le Breton, who has just quit Washington for France and his native land, after a service of three years in the United States as representative of his country. It was his love for public service, coupled with the expressed wishes of the voters in his "home town" which proptosed Dr. Le Breton not long ago to allow his name to be placed in nomination to represent the important and populous federal district of Buenos Aires in the Argentine senate. And the majority by which the radical, or progressive party, of his district elected him indicates the popularity of his decision. Dr. Le Breton will be missed in Washington. As representative of one of the greatest and most progressive of the Latin American republics he has filled with distinction and merit a most important position in the corps of Latin American diplomats. Simple and direct, easy of access, free of the wiles so often associated with the professional diplomat, he has striven to serve his country through a system of "practical diplomacy," which is the key to a real basis of international friendship and understanding. High Service to His Country. There are doubtless many farmers in the United States who don't know, and don't care, who happens to be the United States ambassador to Argentina. But there are numbers of farmers in Argentina who have learned to know Ambassador Le Breton through his service in this country, and through him have come to have a better understanding and a higher regard for the United States. During his mission here he has seen in the United States a vision of what his own country has in store. He has studied the methods by which resources, common to the United States and his own country, have been developed here. And he has made it the chief duty of his office to pass on to the people of Argentina the practical knowledge of how to do things, gained from experience here. Under the administration of Mr. Le Breton, the Argentine embassy has come to occupy a unique position among the embassies in Washington. It has become a channel through which information on every conceivable subject is gathered and passed on for use in the Argentine. Scores of agricultural and scientific bulletins, compiled by the federal departments, have been adapted and translated at the embassy and sent direct to Argentinians. There are experiment stations scattered through Argentina which are exhibiting plants today grown from seed obtained in the United States by the embassy. The dissemination of this information by the embassy has established a direct correspondence between manufacturers and farmers in the Argentine and the embassy in Washington, which is growing larger every day. Instead of making inquiries of their own department of agriculture, farmers in Argentina have written for information on agricultural subjects direct to the embassy here. British Naval Chief Coming. Admiral Sir William Pakenham, commander in chief of the British naval forces in the North Atlantic station, has notified the British embassy that he expects to visit Washington soon, arriving at Washington navy yard on his flagship, the cruiser Raleigh, and will be the recipient of much hospitality, both official and personal which will be returned in kind by receptions on the flagship. Admiral Pakenham will be accompanied by his personal staff, his secretary Being Paymaster Commander Cecil A. Ward, C. M. B., and his flag lieutenant, L. C. A. Curzon-Howe, and by Capt. Arthur Bromley, commanding the Raleigh. The entry of the Raleigh into the local port will be awaited with interest by naval men, as she will be the largest vessel that ever attempted the passage of the channel. She is the latest type of naval light fast cruiser, being 600 feet long over all displacing 9,750 tons, carrying seven inch guns in her main battery and being rated at 31 knots. The Windows Stayed Open. Ira Andrews, city clerk of Terre Haute, Ind., has very thin, sandy hair. He does not become irritated when his friends twit him about it, and in fact he himself frequently makes jokes concerning it. But none of them equals the one his stenographer played on him the other day. The room was warm and she had opened the windows several times during the morning, only to see them closed each time by Andrews. Finally she protested, and Andrews explained that "The wind blows my hair out of order so badly." She said nothing more, but at noon, when Andrews came back from lunch, a red hair net was on the desk. That afternoon the silence in the office was eloquent, but the windows remained open.—Indianapolis News. Speed of Electricity. Herz has demonstrated that electric waves travel with the same velocity as visible light. Light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. The speed with which an electric current passes along a wire depends on the conducting properties of the material of the wire. One authority states that if a perfect system of wires could be provided, a dispatch might be sent around the world during two beats of the clock. The Road to Heaven. "Dey ain' no direct road t' heaven," said Charcoal Eph. moodily, "Hit may look ink hit, but yuh got t' go round a heap e' crap games whar deacons done stopped t' rest."—Rich mond Times-Dispatch MANY CROWNS IN BASKET Surprisingly Large Number of Monarchial Rulers Comparatively Recently Deprived of Thrones. The head that wears a crown has always lain very uneasily in Russia. The son of Peter the Great, Alexis II, was tried for treason and condemned. Later he was reprieved by his father, but died in prison in 1639. There are few countries in Europe which have not had an overturn of their rulers in the last century. King Charles IV of Spain, unable to face the situation stirred up by the Napoleonic wars, abdicated in 1808. Augustus the Strong, King of Poland, was obliged to abdicate after his defeat by Sweden. King Pontiatowski of Poland was forced by the allied powers to resign his throne, and Charles Albert of Sardinia abdicated after his defeat by the Austrians in 1842. Even in comparatively peaceful times, such as the close of the last century, the number of rulers suddenly deprived of their thrones was surprisingly large. Our last experience of the kind in America occurred as recently as 1889, when Dom Pedro the last emperor of Brazil, left his throne after a bloodless revolution. For several years the crop of royal exiles continued to be remarkably large. Alexander of Battenberg, prince of Bulgaria, abdicated in 1886. Spain lost a king in 1873, and King Milan of Serbia saw fit to leave his throne in 1889. The ruler of Bulgaria retired after a peasant revolution. Just before the outbreak of the World war three countries disposed of their rulers with more or less violence. King Manuel of Portugal was formally exiled and fled to England. Abdul Hamid, sultan of Turkey, was forced by a revolt to abdicate in 1909, and the emperor of China, Hsuan Tung, after a successful rebellion, was forced to give up his throne as recently as 1912. The list might be continued indefinitely. Synthetic Sinkers. While the world is still disturbed with the many grave problems of readjustment, it is pleasing to note that science is making skillful progress and is constantly marching onward toward a brighter and better day. In this connection it is noted that among the newest of scientific triumphs is the synthetic doughnut. This victory of mind over matter is said to incorporate all the elements of the plebeian or lunchroom species of sinker. There is the synthetic armorplate or covering with which the little doughnut protects itself from attack by its arch-enemy, man. There is likewise the synthetic interior composed of the usual adamantine substances; also the synthetic hole, which is perhaps the best part of any doughnut, and last but not least, the synthetic indigestion. Let us hope that science will not rest on her laurels but will press ever forward until the synthetic ham and eggs, synthetic buckwheat and sausage and synthetic pork and beans have been rescued from the limbo of dreamy possibilities.—Thrift Magazine. Psychoanalysis. The wistful bit of a girl sat in the car near her mother, a stout, comfortable, southern type of "mammy." Her frizy black hair was braided in three tiny pigtails which barely reached below the nape of her thin little neck. Her coffee-colored face was small and piquant, with lips that reminded one of huge overripe cherries. Her large, dark eyes sparkled and rolled around as she eagerly looked out at the passing objects. "I wan' that—an' that—an' that!" she would murmur, a thin finger poking at the window whenever a gayly decorated shop window was passed. "Maw, I wan' that dress ovah theah!" she cried suddenly, indicating with her ever-ready finger a crimson gown bespattered with spangles which hung promiscuously outside of a "Theatrical Gowns Supplied" shop. "Lawd!" the mother exclaimed delightedly. "I done tell you this heath chile gwine be a actor. I aways knew it fer sure."—Chicago Journal. Problem in Mathematics. There was no room telephone in the Jacksonville hotel chamber in which we nighted for a single night. But there was a push bell with a card over it that said: "Ring once for ice water; twice for a bell boy; three times for a chamber maid; four times for porter." We desired ice water and tried to make our wants known. After half an hour, which is pretty good time for a southern hotel, a porter presented himself and looked around for baggage. "Ice water," we said severely. "The card says to ring once for—" "Yassur," acknowledged the porter. "But we all could' figgah out wheathab you rang once fo' times or fo' times once."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Double Bereavement "I'm sorry I ran over your hen," said the kind-hearted motorist.

I also have a rooster. He thinks a lot of that hen and when he finds out she's dead it wouldn't surprise me if the shock killed him."—Birmingham Age Herald. She Saw Him.

In the two suits pictured here, the coats, or jackets, are evidently of Chinese inspiration, but they are developed with decided differences. The coat at the left, worn with a skirt and separate blouse, impresses the raglan sleeve into service, thereby achieving the effect of the Chinese shoulder, and combines beads and silk in the embroidery that does so much for it. It is simple and handsome and may be made of one of the heavier silk crepes or of wool suiting. The figure at the right portrays an unusual suit, of wool cloth, in which the coat is worn over a dress. In this coat considerable liberty has been taken with the original model in the management of the sleeves (which are set in) and the shaping of the garment. But deference to its source THE FASHION WEEKLY THE FASHION OF THE TIME THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Accessories Pay Tribute to Beauty. of inspiration is emphasized in the long silk tassels that weight the points of the coat and in the silk embroidery which embellishes it.
