THE ONLY RELIABLE COLORA IVIL CE EXAMINATIONS VETERANS' BUREAU HITAL BE COMPOSED OF AND WOMEN Southern States See Cause for Alarm at Migration to North of Negro Labor Louisville, Ky., May 10.—Thousands of Negroes have migrated from the Southern States to Northern and Western regions within the last six months and the movement is showing signs of continuing, Dr. I. Garland Penn, Sr., Cincinnati, executive secretary of the Board of Negro Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church said in an address today at the conference of city church workers held under the auspices of the board of home missions and church extension of the United States. Mr. Penn said the movement of the Negroes from the South was alarming and that he thought the leading white and Negro citizens should confer with a view to affording better living and school conditions and giving more brotherly treatment. Unsatisfactory living conditions, denial of the right to vote, boll weevil ravages and cotton crops and mob violence were some of the reasons for the migration in the opinion of Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, Negro, Philadelphia, director of the bureau of Negro work, who also discussed the question. Jackson, Miss., May 4.—Joint meetings of white and colored citizens will be held May 19 at every Court House in Mississippi to discuss the exodus of Negroes to the North and the labor situation developing as a cause of the getting from under of the Negro worker. The meetings were called by the State Chamber of Commerce. A large number of Negroes have also been arrested on the charge that they were found idle about employment agencies, notwithstanding appeals by Southern planters for help. Ex-Slave Wills His $150,000 Estate to Tuskegee Institute Oakland, Calif.-By the will of William T. Ewing of this city, who died recently, his entire estate, amounting to $150,000, was devised outright to Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Mr. Ewing was born a slave in the State of Missouri. This is the largest legacy given by any colored man to an educational institution in America, it is reported. Mr. Ewing, after living in Iowa and Tacoma, Wash., went to Alaska in 1896, and was there when the gold rush began. He staked out a claim from which he realized a modest fortune. Then in 1903 he struck a lode that cleaned up $40,000 in three months. He invested in Alaska property, reselling profitably. Settling in Oakland in 1904, he acquired holdings that now include some of the city's most highly developed residential areas. The estate embraces both Alaskan and California realty. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House HON. B. F. STAPLETON, MAYOR-ELECT (Under the Preferential System of Voting) BENJAMIN FRANKLIN STAPLETON, newly elected mayor of Denver, has been a prominent figure in the affairs of this city for more than twenty-five years. He was born Nov. 12, 1873. His birthplace was a farm house near Paintsville, Ky. The early part of his life was spent on the farm and he received his preliminary education in the Paintsville public schools. Later, he attended the National Normal School at Lebannon, O. Then he took up the study of law and passed the bar examination and was admitted to practice in 1896. Shortly after being admitted to practice law, he moved to Denver, and this city has been his home since that time. Mr. Stapleton enlisted as a private with the First Colorado Volunteers when the United States entered the war against Spain. He served through the Spanish-American war in the Philippines, and in the war of the Philippin insurrection, taking part in many engagements. He was mustered out of service in September, 1899, with the rank of first sergeant. Mr. Stapleton served in the county recorder's and county treasurer's offices from 1900 to 1904, when he was elected police magistrate and justice of the peace, an office he held until 1915. During his term of office as police magistrate and justice of the peace, he received two appointments from Mayor Robert W. Speer and one under the commission form of government in addition to his original election. Formerly Postmaster Here In 1915 he was appointed postmaster of Denver and served in that capacity until 1921. John F. Shafroth and Charles S. Thomas, then representing Colorado in the United States Senate, indorsed Mr. Stapleton for the position. He was reappointed in 1919, and two years later resigned to associate with a large oil company. He was placed in charge of the company's business in Texas and had charge of their Texas business until the company was absorbed by another concern. Associated with Mr. Stapleton in the Western Oil Fields venture was ex-Governor Oliver H. Shoup, and other men of large financial interests who showed their complete confidence in Mr. Stapleton's ability by placing him wholly in charge of the affairs of the company. It was during his administration as postmaster that the Denver postoffice had its most rapid growth and arose to the commanding heights of a big, first-class office. A very deserving tribute to the new mayor is offered in the fact that practically every employee who served under him in the postoffice was strong for him in the campaign just closed. He has a devoted wife and son of four years old, Benj. F. Stapleton, Jr., who will happily share the new honors that have come to their household. They have a charming home at 430 Williams street, bordering the fashionable Country Club district. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1923. Both Houses of Pennsylvania Legislature Pass Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill Both Houses of Pennsylvania Legislature Pass Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which was introduced in its original form and passed by the Pennsylvania House, has now passed the Senate of that state according to reports reaching the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The bill as passed by the Pennsylvania Senate fines a county in which the lynching occurs $10,000 to be paid the family of the victim. NOTE: Since our previous release on this subject we have received a letter from Mrs. M. Mossell Griffin of the legislative department, National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, in which she states that that organization had actively supported and furthered the passage of this legislation. 552 Workers Pass Thru Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tenn., May 10.—The emigration of Negro workers from the South to the industrial sections of the North, has been resumed with the arrival of fine Spring weather, and 552 passed through Chattanooga yesterday in charge of Northern labor agents. They came from Memphis, Tenn., Corrinth, Miss., and other points. Americus Has New Hospital; Cost $40,000 Americus, Ga., May 11.—The Americus Colored Hospital, owned by Dr. W. S. Prather, a leading white surgeon, has just been completed here and is now in operation. The structure, which cost approximately $40,000, contains thirty rooms and is fitted with every modern convenience. It will be devoted entirely to the treatment of patients of our race. Race girls will be used as nurses and our physicians will be permitted to treat patients there. It is rated as one of the finest hospitals in the South. ILLINOIS BONUS PAYMENTS WILL BEGIN IN JULY Chicago, Ill.—Payment of the $55,000,000 state bonus to Illinois soldiers and sailors of the World War will begin in July. The state bonds, authorized at the last general election following legislative enactment providing for the bonus will be ready for sale next month, or as soon as the Legislature can authorize the printing of the issue. The initial sale of the bonus bonds will be a block of $10,000,000 which probably will be offered publicly next month by a Chicago banking syndicate. The start in paying the bonus will be sold from time to time as fast as the service records of Illinois veterans can be checked up and the amounts to which they are entitled be computed. PROMOTION OF PERRY W. HOWARD SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WASHINGTON, D. C., May 7. Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, is now the highest salaried government official of color in the United States. This distinction comes as the result of a promotion in the tangible form of an increase of $1,000 in his yearly salary. He now receives $6,000 a year. Result of Legal Efforts This promotion is a recognition of the very valuable legal services Mr. Howard has rendered the government. He received his appointment two years ago and was assigned a large number of suits brought by various railroad companies against the United States. Many millions of dollars in claims against the government were involved. The railroad companies had the best lawyers they could obtain. But Mr. Howard went to his work enthusiastically and, as a result of the success with which he defended these claims against the government, the Attorney General shortly after his return to the Department of Justice last week approved this promotion for him. Engaged in Important Work A conception of the importance of the work in which Mr. Howard is engaged at the Department of Justice may be had from the fact that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, ninety-one railroad cases handled by him, in which the amount claimed was $4,999,415.71, were disposed of. The claimants, however, secured judgments for only $513,850.19, for a large part of which there was no defense; the only question involved being the ascertainment of the correct amount due. He now has 102 cases pending, in which the amounts claimed aggregate $3,901,204.46. He has also represented the government in two coal cases involving the question of the liability of the United States for losses incurred by producers in selling their coal at prices fixed by the Fuel Administration under the wartime powers given the president. In both of these cases he filed demurrers to the petitions, which were sustained in the Court of Claims. The coal companies immediately appealed to the Supreme Court and if these test cases should be decided adversely to the government, the United States will probably be called upon to satisfy judgments amounting to millions. A Fine Example Born and reared in Mississippi, his is a splendid example to the Negro youth of this country of the height which may be attained in the legal profession by application and determination. COL. YOUNG'S BODY ARRIVES MAY 20TH New York City, May 10.—The body of Col. Charles Young, U. S. A., who died while on a tour of investigation in Lagos, West Africa, January 1922, will arrive in New York on board the steamer West Hesselpine about May 20th. Interment will be in the National Military Cemetery at Arlington, Va., following a military parade. NO. 31. Leaves New York, May 10.—(Crusader Service)—According to information from reliable sources, Gabriel Johnson, Mayor of Liberia, and potentate of the Garvey movement, is said to have quit. The resignation of Mayor Johnson it is said is being kept a dark secret for fear in event it is made known of the reaction it will have on the U. N. I. A. members in Africa. Johnson's resignation does not come as a surprise to those who remember his protest last year against the alleged mismanagement of the affairs of the U. N. I. A. by Garvey. Another to leave the Garvey ship is Fred Toote, a resident of New York City. Another reason for keeping Johnson's resignation secret it is said, is the bad effect this announcement will have upon the plan of raising money in the United States to hold the next U. N. I. A. convention on African soil. BRITISH LIKE ROLAND HAYES American Artist Wildly Applauded by London Audience at Wigmore Hall London, England, May 4.—Do the English like Roland Hayes? Ask the big audience that jammed Wigmore Hall to hear a recital by the famous colored American tenor last week who wildly applauded every number, and then stormed the artist's room at the conclusion of the performance in order to shake his hand. Mr. Hayes was accompanied by Harold Craxton, white, one of London's leading pianists. Last year he gained country-wide attention, when he sang before King George, who presented him with a diamond pin. From the time Mr. Hays took the stage until he had sung through his program of twenty numbers, the audience was simply delighted. Not a sound could be heard during the singing. Mr. Hayes began with a number of German songs and then sang some old English melodies, displaying his soft delightful singing, yet with every word telling with its emphasis. The second part of the program was in French, winding up with some modern songs in English and two Negro melodies, "O Rock Me, Julle," and "Don't Scandalize My Name." Critics here praised him as the greatest singer of the race and an example to most other whites in that he never attempts an effect out of place nor shows excessive display of his voice for a cheap effect. After the concert Mr. Hayes left for Paris. FOREIGN The strike of the Belgian state employees has reached serious proportions. Work in the larger cities was at a standstill. As a result of the House of Lords' decision in the case of Art O'Brien, the British government is requesting the Irish Free State government to return to England all the prisoners deported to Ireland, Home Secretary Bridgman announced In the House of Commons. In the Shantung hills back of Lincheng are, according to the latest available information, fourteen men and two women—foreigners—together with an unknown number of Chinese, who have been held by Chinese bandits who raided the Shanghai-Peking express and kidnapped the passengers. Reports received in Paris, France, tended to confirm that the woman killed in the airship crash at Monsures was Miss Juanita Bates of Ithaca, N. Y. The woman, who was travelling alone, gave her age as 32. The cause of the accident, which resulted in the death of six persons, including, besides Miss Bates, Laurence Von Post Schwab of New York, has not been determined. That the leaders of the bandits who are holding more than a dozen foreigners in the hills back of Lincheng are highly educated, intelligent men, determined that their demands shall be met and showing little if any faith in promises made by Chinese authorities, are among the statements made by Roy Anderson, American, who returned to Tientsin, from a trip to the robbers' stronghold. A violent storm that broke as the Good Will delegates from America entered the war-devastated area near Solssons, gave the scene a dramatic setting. Seated comfortably in a closed car, the delegates were deeply impressed with the desolation that seemed to hem them in. The delegates were the luncheon guests of the American committee to devastated France at Bierancourt, where the committee maintains a large community center. GENERAL Fire and Police Commissioner John Alderman and two firemen were injured when flames wiped out an entire block in the business district of Fort Worth, Texas, the main buildings of which were occupied by the Gabert garage. The loss is estimated at $150,000 to $200,000. New York detectives have arrested a suspect in connection with the Wall street explosion which caused the death of more than a score of persons. The man under arrest gave his name as Noah Lerner. Lerner was arrested on information obtained by detectives from persons who told of the alleged boast of Lerner that he "had driven the wagon that carried the bomb in the Wall street explosion." Five farm girls from Iowa and Colorado, crowned queens in the art of canning, gathered in Chicago for the start of their trip to Washington and France, where they expect to "pick up pointers" from French dress as well as to show how America's fruit is canned. The girls, winners in the national canning contest held in Chicago last fall, are Esther Bollbaugh, Katherine Bollbaugh and Beulah Rogers, all of Eddyville, Iowa, and Bertha Roger and Elaine Hendricks of Burlington, Colo. A little bit gray and looking as mature as a retired farmer, the former champion of the world Jess Willard, stopped Floyd Johnson, the 23-year-old Iowa boy, after eleven rounds of desperate fighting in the feature bout of the greatest boxing show for charity in the history of the country. It was the show at the Yankees' new stadium in New York City for the benefit of the free milk fund of the mayor's committee of women, headed by Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, and attended by 60,000 people. The sanitarium at Colorado City, Texas, is filled with victims of the tornado which swept a strip of territory a mile wide and fifteen miles long near that town a few days ago. Sixteen bodies have been recovered. About 200 persons were hurt and property and crop damage will total millions of dollars, according to observers. Hot Springs, Ark., is endeavoring to extricate itself from debris and ruin left by flood, fire and wind which wrecked the business district of the city with damage to property which is expected to run into the millions. Several persons are reported to have been killed. It is not expected, however, that the death list will exceed three or four persons. A price war in Chicago turned fashionable North Shore millinery shops into a feminine paradise a few days ago. Rival milliners, after bombs weret hrown, resorted to price-slashing to wipe out competitors. Where woman, a short time ago, crowned her glory with a chapeau costing up to $25—vanity considered—there appeared in windows cards proclaiming "any hat in the store $5." Lord Curzon's reply to the German reparations note expresses disappointment at the "inadequate sum" offered and at the lack of precision as to guarantees, and also voices a suggestion that Germany will "reconsider to expand her proposals" in such a way as to convert them into a feasible basis for further discussion. Final passage of a bill to ban corporal punishment of convicts in Florida was effected when the Senate refused to reconsider its action in banning the whip. The bill goes to the governor. A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE WESTERN In response to a telegram from Houston, Texas, officers asking if James C. Dunham was wanted in San Jose, Cal., Police Chief J. N. Black of San Jose replied that Dunham was wanted in connection with the deaths of his wife and five other persons May 26, 1896, at Campbell, seven miles west of San Jose. That a prehistoric race of people—glants, in fact—lived in California and Arizona, 997,000 years before King Tutankhamen of Egypt, is conclusively proven, Samuel Hubbard, Oakland archaeologist, declared recently in telling of evidence he has found in the Grand Canon of Arizona to support such a belief. A man who said he was James M. Clark, was arrested in Los Angeles on charges of having defrauded many persons in a number of American cities by the alleged sale of land in the Peace River district of Canada. He was held to answer grand larceny charges. Police declared Clark's operations had netted him in excess of $100,000. Refusing to eat food prepared in a non-union restaurant, 100 asserted I. W. W. strikers held in the jail at Los Angeles harbor went on a hunger strike. The prisoners informed Desk Sergeant A. H. Castleberry they would eat no food unless it came from a union restaurant. The police have a contract with a restaurant to prepare all meals for prisoners. Miss Wilma Ruth Rayburn, a member of the graduating class at the University of California, was presented with her degree at the university infirmary at Berkeley and died a half hour later. Miss Reyburn, 22 years' old, a daughter of the Rev. Clinton H. Reyburn of San Francisco, collapsed during the final examinations and was removed to the infirmary. The San Francisco grand jury has refused to indict Gladwell C. Richardson, a sailor, on a charge of murder in connection with the killing of Rabbi Alfred G. Lafee in a hotel in San Francisco. Action by the grand jury was taken in order to hear Richardson's story. The grand jury held that Richardson "was justified in defending himself under the circumstances." WASHINGTON The remains of two men found near the wreckage of an airplane on Cuyamaca mountain, east of San Diego, were positively identified as those of Col. Francis Marshall and Lieut. Chas. Webber of the aviation corps of the U. S. army. The discovery of the bodies ends a search for the missing aviators which has been carried on for months. Charges that the government is violating the spirit of the Pittman act in using silver dollars to make smaller coins instead of buying raw silver at a dollar an ounce were made by Senator Key Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada, in a letter to Under Secretary of the Treasury Gilbert. The use of silver dollars, Pittman said, had run the price of silver down to 67 cents an ounce. George Harvey, American ambassador to Great Britain, declared upon his arrival in New York City on the steamship George Washington that he knew nothing about reports that he had resigned, or planned to resign, in order to direct a campaign for the renomination and re-election of President Harding. Great Britain alone of the allied powers has replied to the American suggestion of April 2 last for concerted action to bring about a permanent solution of the relief problem in the Near East. The British, it was said at the State Department, expressed willingness to participate in any sound plan for permanent relief measures, but advanced no suggestion as to the form such measures might take. Neglect by parents of their homes and children is largely the result of mental difficulty and as such should be treated as a physicological problem, Dr. Nellie L. Perkins, director of the Wayne county physicolophic clinic, of Detroit, declared in Washington, before the annual conference of the National Probation Association. A recent study of such parents in Detroit, she said, showed that 48 per cent of them were feeble minded. State Department advices from the American legation at Peking said the Peking authorities had ordered the Chinese troops "to desist from measures against bandits" and adopt "pacific means," which would insure the liberation of the captured Americans without injury. President Harding has informed the Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Association that its members in a program adopted at the recent Louisville convention have "pretty nearly written my platform as far as you have gone." 6 LATE NEWS From All Over COLORADO Boulder.—Twenty-seven high schools entered the state scholastic track meet to be held here. This entry list includes the five Denver high schools. Boulder.—World peace and federal aid in education were supported in the resolutions adopted by the twelfth annual convention of the Colorado Parent-Teacher Association. Denver.—By a vote of 849 to 379, the Federated Shop Crafts of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad system, decided to terminate the strike which has been in effect on the road nearly a year. Denver.—"Conditions in Colorado look favorable, and it is my belief that the state is entering upon a great period of development," said Hale Holden, president of the Burlington railway system in Denver recently. Greeley.—Charles E. Wickline, held here in connection with the murder of Irwin O. Hittle, salesman, whose body was found lying by a roadside last summer, was denied bail after a long argument by his counsel on the condition of his health. Denver.—A coroner's jury here held E. R. Kent of the Royal hotel responsible for the death of Miss Kate V. McAdams. The jury decided from the testimony introduced at the inquest that Kent was driving fast and in a negligent fashion when his automobile ran down Miss McAdams. Boulder.—Students of the University of Colorado subscribed $22,671.50 to the Memorial Student Union funds at a special convocation a few days ago. Alumni, students and friends are raising a fund of $200,000 to erect a building on the campus as a memorial to forty-five university men who died in the world war. Denver.—The state of Colorado faces the possibility of operating for the years of 1923 and 1924 with a deficit of more than $700,000, appropriations made by the state Legislature for the biennial period being that much greater than the estimated tax returns for the next two years. This was learned in a checkup of figures now in the hands of State Auditor Arthur Stong. Trinidad.—This city and vicinity are being closely combed today in search for one or two men implicated in the slaying of Louis Debona, an Italian barber, who was shot to death on a sidewalk near the public library. There were no witnesses to the shooting. Debona was shot twice, once through the left shoulder and once through the head, the bullet coming out over the left eye. Officers are investigating an angle of a possible blackhand plot. Denver.—Harry Schrader, who was convicted of misconduct, fined and ousted from the office of sheriff of Lake county, is restored to his official position by a Supreme Court decision. On April 12, 1922, an information was filed against him charging that he "extorsively" charged and received from Chris Uponovitch the sum of $200 for omitting and delaying to serve a warrant issued from a justice of peace court against Uponovitch. He was convicted by a jury. Denver.By signing the secondary appropriation bill for the purchase of Woodcroft sanitarium in Pueblo and vetoing the measure authorizing the building of a branch asylum at Brush, Colo., Governor Sweet ended the longstanding controversy over the site of the extension of the state insane asylum. The action of the governor followed the receipt of a letter from members of the Senate and House finance committees, giving reasons for the division of the appropriation for Woodcroft into sums of $160,000 and $40,000. Pueblo.—The state of Colorado will not obtain Woodcroft Sanitarium here as a branch of the State Hospital for the Insane, according to its owner and manager, Dr. C. W. Thompson. The state's option on the institution expired May 1, according to Dr. Thompson and on May 3 the governor was notified by Dr. Thompson that the option was cancelled. Colorado Springs.—For the third time, Colorado Springs was selected for the meeting place of the Colorado Retail Jewelers Association at the close of its two days' convention here. Sessions were concluded with the election of officers, Max Strasburg of Trinidad, vice president, being chosen president, to succeed J. W. Oahan of Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs.-The Colorado Retail Jewelers' Association closed its annual meeting here with a banquet at the Antlers hotel. Papers were read by Jes Hansen of Denver on watch repairing, and by Frank T. Allen of Denver on the diamond situation. R. S. McAdams, assistant superintendent of the Pinkerton agency, talked on methods of protecting stores. Trinidad.—Parading the streets of Trinidad, waving hundreds of American flags, 500 striking students of the City High School engaged in a patriotic demonstration against school officials because of the latter's failure to fly the flag over the school building. Alvin M. Owsley, national commander of the American Legion, accustomed the demonstration by a speech in which he said, "If I were you boys and girls I wouldn't attend a school unless the American flag appeared at the top of the building every day." CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver.—Colorado winter wheat held about steady in condition during the month of April and the first forecast for the 1923 season promises a possible crop of 13,741,000 bushels, according to the May 1 federal-state cooperative crop report just issued. This estimate is based upon the May 1 condition of 65 per cent, which represents an equivalent of about thirteen bushels per acre upon 1,057,000 acres, the estimated area left for harvest. Mostly due to a long drought period, in some sections dating back more than a year, winter wheat suffered the unusually heavy abandonment of 33 per cent of the acreage sown last autumn. The abandonment last year was 20 per cent and the average for the past five years has been 9.6 per cent. Boulder.—Four records smashed and one tied established the Colorado Interscholastic high school meet at Boulder as the greatest yet held in this region. Nearly 400 of the picked athletes of the state, representing every section, struggled throughout the day to put the colors of the respective schools to the fore and the final summing up found Fort Collins High School far in the lead with $37\%$ points. Her nearest competitor was Grand Junction, with 21 points. The Denver schools participated for the first time in many years. Denver.—Crops in an area twenty miles by nine miles in Rio Blanca and Moffat counties are threatened with total extinction this year by a plague of Mormon crickets, according to urgent appeals for aid pouring into the offices of Governor Sweet. Organizations of farmers and city dwellers have been unable to raise the $4,500 required to combat the plague, according to a message from C. L. Corkins, deputy state entomologist, and appeal is made to Denver to raise funds. Durango.—The search for William Lantz, who murdered Glisson Keith and wounded Harry Gordon, still continues in the mountain fastnesses. The fugitive, who is heavily armed, has been trailed into the mountains northeast of Durango. He abandoned his automobile and took to the hills. Henry and Joe Lantz, two sons of the fugitive, are being held by the authorities on a technical charge, so that they cannot aid their father to escape. Fort Collins.—Jake Becker is dead and Mrs. Becker and their 3-year-old daughter, Lorene, are in a dangerous condition as the result of a stroke of lightning. They were standing in the doorway of a barn on the farm of Ed F. Munroe, northeast of Waverly, which they rented. Lightning struck the top of the barn and ripped down a wall, striking Becker in the back of the head. He was killed instantly. Greeley.—A grain elevator and grocery store at Gill, Colle, was completely destroyed by fire recently with a loss approximately $12,000. The Greeley fire department was called but was only able to prevent further spread of the flames. A bucket brigade fought the fire before the Greeley department arrived. The loss is said to be well covered by insurance. Pueblo.—By a vote of more than ten to one, residents of school district No. 20 voted to issue bonds of $800,000 to raise funds for the purchase of additional school grounds, constructing new school buildings on the south side of the city and to fund the floating indebtedness. The latter involves $100,000 of the total. Fort Collins.-The Colorado Agricultural College captured the triangular track meet over the University of Wyoming and the Colorado School of Mines here with 87 points. Wyoming came second with 36 points while the Dynamiters trailed with 11 tallies. Golden.-Six inmates of the State Industrial School for Boys at Golden are dead, nearly thirty others are in the hospital and all of the 350 boys in the school have been given antitoxin as the result of a diphtheria epidemic at the institution. Pueblo,—Rudolfo Caberello, Mexican employee of the Minnequa Steel Works, died after having been shot by L. W. Nye at the roaming house operated by Nye's mother. Nye claims the Mexican was trying to get into his mother's room, and fled when Nye tried to stop him. Nye, who is a railway postal clerk, is being held until a coroner's jury returned a verdict. Littleton,—Attorneys W. H. Dickson of Denver and H. A. Griffith, formerly of Caldwell, Idaho, were fined $100 each by District Judge F. W. Johnson for contempt of court in connection with the trial of George Griffith for the alleged slaying at Deertrall last Christmas eve, of Howard Hamilton, and the serious wounding of Miss Pearl Coeur, as the pair were leaving the dance hall. Aguilar.—Ten men lost their lives in the Southwestern mine of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, from an explosion of gas and dust and the explosion was due to indirect negligence of the management, in the findings of the coroner's jury which returned its verdict here after a day spent in taking evidence. Denver.—Beginning in 1925, ten-year permits are to be granted to stockmen who desire to graze cattle and sheep on ranges within the national forests, according to announcement made by District Forester A.

DEMOCRATS ALSO PLANNING Their Orators Likely to Discuss League of Nations on the Stump—Harding Stands Firmly for Membership in World Court. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—It is as clear as future things can make themselves that the country this summer is to hear "the various sides of various questions" which have reared their interrogation marks in the field of legislation and international relations during the last year. Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin is to take to the stump to address public gatherings soon after President Harding has done the same thing. Naturally the politicians in Washington are considerably interested in this intention of the Wisconsin senator, for, as the country knows, he does not look at many matters with the same eyes that President Harding views them. Washington has been told more or less directly that the LaFollette intention is not to trail the President on his tour nor is it his intention to make it sharply apparent that he is engaged in an "offsetting campaign." The Republican leaders here, whether they be of that school of Republican thought or of another, are finally convinced, however, that the Harding and the LaFollette speeches will in considerable measure be "one against another." The Democrats on their part expect to have a somewhat lively speechmaking summer of it. It is said arrangements are being made for speeches here, there and elsewhere by the friends of men, and perhaps even by the men themselves, who have presidential nomination ambitions or who are suspected of having them. It is said in Washington political circles that the League of Nations will have its strong Democratic supporters on the stump during the summer, and that as a natural consequence some of the Democrats who are opposed to the league will take the stump and deliver themselves of more or less antagonistic remarks. So it seems that if the Republicans are to have speechmaking party difficulties the Democrats also are to have them. All of the campaign this summer, as politicians here view it, will have its direct bearing on the campaign of the summer next to follow and its bearing unquestionably upon the campaign for the presidential nominations, and especially weight bearing on that for the Democratic nomination. Politicians in Washington are wondering today whether or not Senator LaFollette, in picking speeches out of the collection which he will carry in his traveling bag, will hit on the outline of one of his legislative plans to deprive the Supreme court of much of its power under the Constitution. It is known that President Harding is staunchly opposed to the taking away from the high tribunal any of its present power. Senators LaFollette and Borah and some others of their general school of thought are strongly in favor of constitutional amendments which will deprive the court of some of its authority. It would seem from what some of the administration Republicans here say that, generally speaking, they would not object to giving the President an opportunity to answer arguments in favor of weakening the court's authority. It can be taken for granted, however, that the President will not in any of his speeches make it appear specifically that he is answering anything which is being said on the stump at that time by any Republican speaker whose views do not agree with his. Harding Firm on World Court. In his speech before the Associated Press in New York President Harding made it clear that he intends to stand by his international court proposition in the face of opposition which has come from some members of his party. This means unquestionably that he is going to carry the matter to the people. The opposition also will carry the matter to the people and this in itself will add to the general liveliness of political and party conditions one year in advance of the real campaign. Thus far the Republican party leaders, the men charged with the work of forwarding the party's fortunes, have not taken a position either positive or negative on the world court matter. If the opposition on the part of the Republican party to the President's proposal in this matter shall take itself into hiding, it is understood in Washington that soon the Republican national committee will present, in argument form, the advantages of American membership in the court. If the opposition continues and the opponents of the plan seem to rank in numbers with its proponents, the feeling seems to be that the campaign committee may ignore the subject, although there are Republicans who say that to ignore it is the worst thing the committee can do. Inspecting Coast Defenses. Secretary of War John W. Weeks, accompanied by five United States senators and twenty members of the house of representatives, has embarked on the United States transport Grant for a long tour of inspection of the coast defenses of the country and of some of its outlying possessions. The senators and representatives who are with the secretary are either members of the military committees or have places on the appropriation bodies. The intention is to learn what properly should be done for the defense of Panama and for the coastline fortifications of the United States on the Pacific side. Secretary Denby recently took a party of congressmen to southern waters not only to witness the evolutions of the fleet but to study the naval defense program of the Panama canal. There is a disposition in congress to appropriate only small amounts for defense purposes, but the intention is to have the money expended where it is most vitally needed. On the eve of the sailing of the party on its inspection trip the writer of this, as commander of the National Press Club post of the American Legion, asked the secretary of war to be the post's guest and to talk not only to the members of the legion organization, but to newspaper correspondents generally on the subject of "The Army and Peace." Secretary Weeks accepted the invitation and the correspondents in the capital learned from him first hand what the department's views are concerning preparedness, the attitude of the people toward the army, and something about the attempts of certain organizations to induce congress to make the country wholly defenseless in case war should come. Dickman Praises Our Soldiers. Prior to the address of the secretary, MaJ. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, who commanded the Third division at the battle of the Marne and the First corps in the Argonne, who led that corps to the gates of Sedan, and who later took the Army of Occupation into Germany, spoke about the conduct of the American soldiers when they were occupying a part of the country of their recent enemy. General Dickman commanded the 250,000 American troops constituting the First Army of Occupation in Germany. He said European military authorities admitted that never before had an army of occupation shown such exemplary conduct as did the individuals composing this great force of American boys. Recent German combatants and the entire population of noncombatants pursued unhindered their ordinary vocations and learned to respect American manhood. Secretary Weeks in his address called attention to the seeming belief among the people that an army necessarily is militaristic. Apparently it seems somewhat strange to him, as it does to others in Washington, that the people do not realize that anything an army does in peace times is done under the limitations of acts of congress and wholly under the control of the direct representatives of the people of the country. He said that it is the Juty of the army officers to study situations and to prepare plans which in case of an emergency would enable the country to defend itself. This is the duty with which the officers are charged by the representatives of the people. Weeks on National Defense. The army, in brief, as its work is outlined, is doing its necessary guardianship work in the continental United States and in the non-contiguous territories, and otherwise is engaged simply in so planning things that if the people ever need a scheme of national defense they will have it. "Effective national defense," said Mr. Weeks, "depends upon the extent to which the people appreciate the need for it. This appreciation will come only when the people know and are able to interpret the facts relative to national life and international relations. In a word, education of all the people in these matters must go on all the time if our representative government, wherein public opinion controls governmental action, is to survive and to grow stronger. "We, as a nation, understand now, and we shall continue in our understanding, that we shall more certainly preserve peace when it is well understood that we are prepared to defend ourselves." While Secretary Weeks was addressing the veterans of the legion post the White House was being picketed by representatives of an organization which is striving totally to disarm the United States, and thus in the case of any sudden attacking emergency to lay it open to invasion by an enemy. Angry With Him. "I'll tell you how it was, my dear" said the first girl. "I was driving on the wrong side of the street—it just happened so—and in turning the corner I struck his car, one of those disgusting little filvers. I hit the side of it—not so very hard; my car wasn't hurt at all—and shoved it around so that one of the rear tires came off. And I believe the fender was bent and one or two other unimportant things broken. At any rate, he was a very coarse man. He jumped out of his car with an oath—or I guess it would have been if I could have heard it—and—" "What did you do then?" "Oh, I gave him such a look, and drove away."—From the Country Gentleman.

STAPLETON ELECTED MAYOR UNDER THE PREFERENTIAL VOTING SYSTEM THE CITIZENS of Denver, in their sovereign majesty, have spoken, and Benjamin F. Stapelton was selected as their choice to serve as mayor for the next four years. Elected over a field of six other candidates by a substantial majority, Mr. Stapelton carries with him the good will and hearty support of all loyal citizens. He is by no means new to the uses of executive and official authority, and having been long a resident of this city, active in many ways, he should readily sense the needs of a great, growing cosmopolitan city such as Denver is destined to be. Denver has her greatest opportunities before her, and Mr. Stapelton has a rare chance to measure up to her possibilities, such as few city executives have in this country. We do not believe he will lightly weigh the immense responsibilities imposed upon him so handsomely by the electorate at the polls last Tuesday. We are upon an era of a great industrial revival. Denver is building as never before. Momentous questions and problems will be submitted to him within the next four years, and upon their rightful, clear thinking solution will depend the success of his administration. It is no easy task to serve acceptably the nervous anxieties and hopes of a people in such times as these, and the new mayor will have ample opportunity to demonstrate his capacity for constructive interpretation of the things needful to meet the requirements of the hour. The Bailey administration that comes to a close May 31st leaves a mass of civic undertakings that had in their conception a bigger and better Denver. Mr. Bailey was an able executive, captious critics to the contrary notwithstanding. But the decree has gone forth in no uncertain voice that he relinquish the reigns of authority to another, and if they prove more capable hands, then well and good, for Denver must continue to go forward. For some time we have been overwhelmed with the slogan of a population of 500,000 by 1930. It is a pretentious dream and not beyond the range of possibilities. Thus it is evident that the foundation for this immense population must be laid in the years of Mr. Stapelton's administration. As for our group we have fared well under the Bailey administration. We were given a large voice in the affairs of government. Our leaders, naturally close friends of Mr. Bailey, directed with fidelity and care our interests at all times. With the advent of the new mayor, a new element will be close to the throne. It is our hope that they will be loyal, as painstaking and as fearless as those whom they succeed. None will wish Mr. Stapelton ill. The COLORADO STATESMAN bows graciously to the will of the majority. B. F. Stapelton is our mayor. To him, in all good undertakings, we pledge our loyal support and stand ready to applaud his every achievement. It is the part of good citizenship to stand squarely by the new administration and join in an undivided effort to make Denver one of the most beautiful and prosperous cities on the American continent. A WEEK OF MUSIC MUSIC flows through every human soul. It is the great humanizer, and no race or tribe escapes its benign influences. Once in a while it is a great scheme to get away from ourselves in the business world and give full play to the music that reach our souls and inspires our dreams. A few years ago the happy thought came to a select Denver group to inaugurate a Music Week during the month of May each year. The idea has grown beyond the community singing that formed our yearly program until Music Week was ushered in. During the present week Denver has been blessed beyond the fondest hopes of those who first conceived the idea. Each day has been crowded with programs of such variety as meet the wants of every class of music lovers. Upon convenient corners and in large public gathering places musicians galore have responded to the popular acclaim and delighted eager crowds, who found in the occasion a carnival of pleasure, refined and mind lifting. Every race and tongue was given its inning and no one entered the slacker list. In some places a sacred concert was given, in others popular songs were the ruling fashion, in others strains from grand opera were rendered with artistic skill, while the ever popular southern melodies drew forth merited applause. Perhaps the finest feature of Music Week was the rendition of the comic opera, "Geisha," at the Auditorium Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Nothing more beautiful was ever offered a people in any community. There is one refreshing phase of Music Week, that if maintained will materially add to its longevity, and that is its freedom of commercialism. It is not a profit-making venture. The whole idea is to lift men and women out of the common ruts, to inspire culture and encourage the natural, God given talents, too often lying dominant in the human breast. On the whole it is a seasonable blessing and Denver's lead may in time spread to other portions of the country. We need the recreation, we enjoy the treat, we feel the sublime and our souls come in closer contact with the Infinite through the harmonies and some times weird strains that filter our beings and bring us to a realization that life is worth the living after all. The generous impulses of the heart arise as a heavenly font and the mysteries of creative genius thrill our ambitions as once each year we give ourselves over, not to riotous carnival, but to the most inherent element of human nature—a flow of God's music within us. The Rudiments of Conservation: Protect, Preserve, Propagate and Plant By ALEXANDER MACDONALD, N. Y. Conservation Commissioner. CONSERVATION means intelligent use—securing the maximum of benefits with a minimum of waste. Applied to our natural resources, it means their utilization with regard to the future and the generations that are to come after us. They have been given to us in abundance for use, but not for destruction or extermination. Serious inroads had been made upon our natural resources before it was borne in upon us that they are not inexhaustible. Carelessness, waste and prodigality had reduced our forests and decimated the wild life of our fields and streams before the need of conserving them began to impress us. Much of our wild life was gone before an intelligent effort was made to save it; the same is true of our forests. The intelligent use of 2,000,000 acres of our forest reserve supplies a wilderness playground where all the people of the state can enjoy healthful recreation with no restrictions other than those required for the necessary protection of this great common property. The subject of conversation is broad and of vital importance to all of us, but its rudiments may be taught in four words: Protect, preserve, propagate and plant. Protect our forests from fire and disease. The utmost care in the use of fire in the woods is enjoined upon every one. Preserve our forests and wild life that the benefits we enjoy therefrom may be enjoyed in like measure by those who come after us. Propagate valuable species of wild life to prevent their extermination. This the state is doing. Plant—and this is of paramount importance—forests on every available acre of idle land, because forests form the keystone of the conservation arch. Upon them depends the conservation of our streams and our wild life. Without forests there would be nothing to conserve. We Are Too Lazy, or Too Busy, or Too Unrealizing to Get at Beauty People try to persuade me out of farming. They say a person who writes or paints should have no cares. * * * Is there any other pursuit that furnishes one fraction of the joy, as a by-product, that farming does? Here I was, just going out for posts, and what blossoms and poetry did I not come upon? No matter how exasperatedly one starts out, one returns rewarded, whether it is from a trip to the barn on a stormy evening, when your lantern makes a golden richness in the brown shadows, and everything smells of hay and milkiness, and the beasts are so sleepily pleased to see you that they quite melt your heart; or from a dash through a star-lit barnyard, on some anxiety or other, with a freezing wind blowing, but with Venus and a young moon putting your eye out over the top of the wall; or from a fagging jaunt in a twilight rain after escaped ponies, when the graying mountain world grows beautiful beyond any dream, and one pushes the soaked hatbrim away from one's eyes and thanks Heaven for sending one out to see it. We are too lazy, or too busy, or too unrealizing, to get at beauty; we have to be shoved out into it, and if it is your vacation that does the shoving, thank it with all your soul. Give up farming? Not while I love air and moonlight and gray rain and bird song and the woods—and a million other things. If farming did not drag me out, I should miss them. It is daredevil originality which put America into the lead of the rest of the world as regards technical sciences. And it is this daredevil originality that has made the one art which is America's specific contribution to the art of our century—in which she has produced something superb and unique, which the world has never seen before and but for America may never have seen. I mean American architecture—I mean the skyscraper. The New York architect saw himself confronted with a growing demand for dwellings and office buildings and a stationary amount of building space. Natural conditions set a limit to horizontal expansion. The development of steel and concrete, plus the rock bottom of Manhattan, opened up possibilities of vertical expansion. The result is the skyscraper. American architects did not worry as to what Sir Christopher Wren would have done or what the architects of Rome or Paris would do. They asked: "What is needed? What can we do?" And they went and did it. The skyscraper, the magnificent office building and apartment hotel and the railroad terminal are the achievements of a distinctive American art that is as different from the art of Europe as the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen is from the Cathedral of Chartres. And American architects achieved it because they dared to be themselves. "Monstrous Folly of the Versailles Conference —Without a Woman" By MRS. LOTTIE HOLMAN O'NEILL, Illinois State Legislator. Previous to our own time there was no mass thought by women on the problem of the new generation. Before our time there were very few women that had a vision broader than their own family interests, indeed, there were few humans that gave any public service unselfishly. But now we have in every hamlet in the land bodies of earnest women groping for the light, puzzled where to start, when so much is to be done. Can it be that Providence is waiting for a sign from mankind that will indicate that woman, who bears more than half life's burden, has been admitted to her just share in the governing of the world? Can you explain the monstrous folly of the Versailles conference, that gathering of presidents and premiers, scientists and savants and generals from hither and yon—men from every land and every race—and among them all not a woman? Here was a meeting to settle the squabbles of the earth, and woman, the great specialist in the art of adjustment, a woman who could have contributed so much wisdom to these deliberations, was altogether overlooked. The welfare of humanity, the fate of mankind, was at stake and she, the mother half of the world, had not a word to say because those in power in all lands considered that what she had to say was of no importance.

Johnson of the real estate firm of Lyons & Johnson, has just returned from a three months' trip to Europe and northern Africa. It will be remembered that Mr. Johnson was the one who gave the inspiration to the building movement by offering the first $5,000 towards the fund. He was greatly pleased to hear of the progress made in the collection of the subscriptions. Only two months has passed since the close of the drive, and 25 per cent of the subscriptions have already been paid in full. This is a record seldom equaled in a movement of this kind. Beginning with this week the long honor roll lists which the papers have been carrying from week to week will be discontinued, and only those who are paying out from week to week will appear. This is done because it is unfair to ask the papers for so much extra space. Should anyone who has paid out fail to find his name on the honor roll, we shall be very glad to have the matter reported to us at once, and the name will appear in the list the following week. The Cadet Band is making great improvement under the direction of Mr. Leo Davis. Fifteen mothers of the band boys responded to a call to meet last Tuesday evening for the purpose of forming a Mothers' Auxiliary to the Boys' Band. The idea is to give all the sympathy and co-operation possible to the directors of the band, and to encourage and stimulate the boys in their practice. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, May 29th, at which it is hoped that the mothers of all the boys will be present. HONOR ROLL CONTINUED L. D. Bruce; Mrs. Leona Barbee; Jesse J.

DAVID FOSTER DAVIDSON, ELECTION COMMISSIONER THERE were many surprises and upsets in Tuesday's election, but none more so than in the election of David F. Davidson, whose many friends made for him a whirlwind campaign that swept everything before him and carried him to victory by a handsome majority. Early in the campaign but little was heard of Mr. Davidson and it was only at the near approach of election day that he showed the class necessary to outstrip all rivals. He is a fine young man and well spoken of by all who know him. As election commissioner he will give a square deal to all, being perfectly free of bias of any sort. THE COLORADO STATESMAN predicts that he will make an ideal public servant, and congratulate both him and the people upon his election.

Alfred Virgil Gardner, one of Denver's most prosperous and active business men, prominent in church and Masonic circles, passed away last Sunday evening at 6:30, at his residence, 1631 East Twenty-second Avenue. Though Mr. Gardner had been in ill health for some time, his usual happy non-complaining disposition was such that his true condition was known to but few of his most intimate friends. Thus, announcement of his death came as a great shock to all. Mr. Gardner was born in Burnsville, Ala., Oct. 14, 1880. In his youth he was always studious and finished a course in tailoring at Tuskegee Institute. He came to Denver nearly ten years ago, and for the past six years has conducted a successful tailoring establishment at Twenty-first street. On June 3, 1909, he was married to Miss Margaret Chism at Selma, Ala., who survives him. He also leaves a sorrowing mother-in-law, two brothers in Cleveland, Ohio, and a sister in Virginia. Funeral services were held from the residence, Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. W. H. Thomas of Shorter Church, of which Mr. Gardner was a member, officiating. It was a beautiful, impressive service and a large profusion of floral offerings attested the esteem and high regard in which Mr. Gardner was held in this community. THE COLORADO STATESMAN offers its profound sympathy to the grief-stricken widow and other relatives. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Rev. C. E. Chapman, Minister Last Sunday was an interesting day, all things considered. Notwithstanding the unusual situation, a situation that was somewhat unfavorable, yet the services were carried out in the usual order. The moments in the Sunday School were highly enjoyed by all who were present to take part in the deliberations and discussion of the Lesson. The Lesson proved to be a source of inspiration and delight. Two splendid services were had during the day. MOTHERS' DAY WAS FITTINGLY OBSERVED at the afternoon service, at which time Rev. C. E. Chapman delivered the message, using as a theme, "The Position of a Mother." At the evening hour, the message was delivered by Rev. McCain of the A. M. E. Church; and the message was forcefully delivered, and warmly received. The invitation was extended to come again. Tomorrow (Sunday) there will be the usual program. The following is the order of the services for Sunday: Sunday School at 2:30 p. m.; praise service and worship at 3:30 p. m.; praise service and evening worship at 8:00 p. m. Reverend C. E. Chapman will speak at the afternoon hour, while the Reverend Thos. E. Henderson will deliver the message at the evening hour. The services are now being held in the People's Prestyterian Church, corner of Washington Street and Twenty-third Avenue. The public is requested to note the change of place of worship as well as the change in the hours of meeting. A cordial invitation is extended everybody.

This was indicated in an official statement made public by the tariff commission announcing the policy agreed upon at a conference with the President. It was stated in the an- nouncement that such investigations as are made without any formal ap- plications as a basis will be launched only after conference with the Presi- dent. This means that the Prestdent upheld the contention of Thomas 0. Marvin, chairman of the commission, who insisted the power to change duties Is vested in the President. ‘The effect of the Presidemt’s post- tion Is to nullify the action taken by the commission at the instance of W. S. Culbertson, vice chairman, on March 2 ordering broad investigations Into all duties on such commodities as wool, steel, pottery, and glassware. Under the Culbertson program the commission would have gone ahead on these investigations. It will be necessary for the commis- sion to make a preliminary survey in cases where no application has been filed for a change in rates before consulting with the President as to whether formal investigations will be ordered under section 315, the flexible provision of the tariff law. The pre- liminary ‘survey would be conducted HERE its considerable curios- ity in official Washington con- cerning the National Trans- portation institute, Just organ- fzed in Mlinois.

The President laid stress upon the usefulness of this statute and Indicated a strong desire to see It fully applied. “Petitions and applications for In- crease or reduction In rates are to be considered by the commission in ac- cordance with the executive order of October 7 to determine whether for- mal investigations are warranted. “In cases where no petition has been filed, whenever a preliminary In- quiry or survey discloses sufficient grounds, under the law, the commis- sion, after conference with the Presi- dent, will order such formal investiga- tions as the facts may warrant. “Each formal Investigation, however instituted, will begin with an order giving public notice to all interested “parties.” Republicans who are close to the ad- ‘ministration declared that President Harding, while anxtous that the flex- ible tariff provisions shall be invoked whenever necessary to adjust duties to meet post-war emergencies, does not intend that the commission shall go ahead with what would amount to a general revision of the tariff law. tion, is president of the institute.

From a sperm whale 60 feet in length, which was sent to the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History from Japan, 20 barrels of spermaceti were taken out of the “case” and the sur- rounding fat. ‘The oil congeals as soon as it Is cooled by the air. ‘The sperm whale is the animal which yields ambergris, the valuable substance used so extensively in the manufacture of the best perfumes, Ambergris Is only found in “sick” whales—that Is, Its presence is not normal, but {s eaused by a patho- logical condition of the intestines. ‘The finback, closely related ¢o the blue whale, has been called the “grey- hound of the sea,” for Its long, slender body is built on the lines of a racing yacht, and the animal can equal the speed of the fastest steamship. Little is known about the breeding habits of whales, except that young of whales fare born alive, and are suckled and vigorously defended by the mother, as In the case of land animals. @innllig-Gonulncad iiler: I was keeping company with a young man who lived out of town and mother often invited him over for Sunday din- ner, When it came time for the sec ond helping he always refused. I knew he did this more for manner’s sake and that down in his heart he really cared for more, so I always insisted on his eating more, One day mother wasn't feeling well, so she refused to eat din- ner und that left us to eat alone. When I insisted on nis having an- other plece of meat, he looked up at me and said, “I wish I could always have a girl Ike you to look out for me.” I laughed and took It in a joking way, but before the day was over he convinced me that he meant {t, and made me promise that I would take the responsibility.—Exchange. ‘Dameninete orhin:. Senator LaFollette said at a din- ner in Milwaukee: “The American people are learning to think. They don't swallow hifa- lutin catch phrases and tags the way they used to. “They used to remind me sometimes of the sailors from a certain warship who once visited the theater. The sailors sit In the gallery en masse, and in the course of the play a fight arose among them, and one poor fellow fell from the gallery down into the audi- ence below. “The excitement was terrific, of course. “‘Man overboard!’ a hoarse voice sang out. ‘Man overboard!" “At these words a second sailor without a moment's hesitation dived after his unfortunate comrade.” <eitane' the Alnion Qo. Ta, The question, “Where do all the apples go to?” is answered in part by the export figures which show that In the last three months of 1922 we sent 705,801 barrels to Great Britain, as compared with 887,872 barrels in the corresponding period of 1921. Most of these, however—430,932 barrels—were from the Far West, while the remain- der were produced chiefly In New York, Virginia and Maine.

Schurman, American minister to China. ‘The American diplomat, who stopped off here on his way from Shanghai to Peking, told the Chinese officials con- gregated here to negotiate with the bandits that unless the foreign prison- ers were released immediately serious international complications would re- sult, Dr. Schurman said: “End these delays and confusion be- tween various departments of the gov- ernment. Get the captives out and talk terms afterwards, otherwise there will be drastic action taken.” Relations between the Chinese gov- ernment and the representatives of for- eign countries Is described on all hands as “strained,” as a result of the ban- dit situation, Dr. Schurman kept in constant cable communication with Washington dur- ing his stay in Shanghai and sent and ‘received numerous messages. J. B. Powell and other captives have sent out word from their mountain prison that all the prisoners are begin- ning to feel the strain, Some are ill from insufficient and unaccustomed food. Others, forced to make new marches from places with their feet unhealed from the bruises and cuts of the rocky trail from the scene of the holdup near Stichow, are suffering in- tensely. | The bandits charged that the Chinese troops have not been with- drawn, despite official assertions to the contrary. ‘This apparently consti- tutes the greatest hitch to the nego- tiations for the captives’ release. Washington—The State Depart: ‘ment has received from Peking the text of a note delivered to the Chinese ‘foreign office by the diplomatic corps ‘in Peking, reiterating that responsl bility rests upon the Chinese govern- ment to obtain release of the foreign prisoners held by Chinese bandits and adding that the diplomatic corps “waits with impatience for it (the Chinese government) to take, without further delay, efficacious measures for the liberation of the prisoners.” ‘The note added that the diplomatic corps “reserves the right to fix at a luter date the nature and scope of the sunetions which the delay in the set: tlement of this deplorable affair en- tails, and which will be destined to prevent its recurrence.” A Peking dispatch to the State De- partment said that Consul John K. Davis und Mayor Philoon, assistant military attache at Lincheng, had re- ported that the bandits had stated they were ready to negotinte with Chinese authorities for the release of the Americans and other foreigners recently captured. Police Hold Student in Hazing Case Chicago.—Charles (Chuck) Palmer, star football player and senior student at Northwestern University, held in custody in connection with the disap: pearance in September, 1921, of Leigh- ton Mount, freshman student, despite denials by Palmer that he knew any thing about the case. Palmer was tak- en into custody after Mrs. Violet Bach: man, a former friend of his, had told assistant state's attorneys that Palmer told her shortly after Mount’s disap- pearance that Mount was safe and that he knew where he was, and that he later told her he could not talk about the case. Harding Denounces Factionalism Washington.—Standing before the statue of Alexander Hamilton, which he had just unyeiled, President Hard: ing uttered a plea for the erasure of Zactionalism in the United States, which he asserted is developing now as never before in this country. The Pres ident recalled Hamilton's definition of factions as a body of men “united by some common impulse of passion ad- verse to the rights of other citizens.” Alva Adams Appointed Senator Denver.—Governor Sweet appointed Alva B. Adams of Pueblo as United States senator to succeed the late Sam- uel D. Nicholson. When questioned with regard to the possibility of his be- ing a candidate for re-election to the Senate at the next general election, Senator Adams would neither confirm or deny the possibility. “I shall sim- ply try to serve the people of the state in the Senate and the other con- sideration can rest until the time comes.” 1 Kitchen Sink Sometimes Needs Strong Cleanser. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Stoppage in pipes is often due to hardened grease or to an accumulation of hair and lint. The waste pipes should be flushed thoroughly after using, so that the waste is carried out of the house pipes and the trap left full of clean water. A trap in a waste pipe is a curved section so arranged that water remains in it and prevents the passage of sewer gas into the house. If the water left in the trap is not clean, decomposition may take place and odors and gases may come from the impurities in the water itself. Precautions should be taken to prevent oil and grease from going down the waste pipe from the kitchen sink, because being lighter than water they tend to remain floating on the surface of the water in the trap. Use of Cleansing Mixtures. boiling water. The kitchen sink may a stronger cleanser, oughly cleaned and dishwashing, and caustic potash is often used carefully—protected and the p allowed to touch p lain-lined sinks, be stroy the glaze. O tals dissolved in 2 should be poured. About half an hour should be flushed Caustic soda, although omitted, is not do is likely to unite w form a hard soap, remove from the p ers may be used on the United States D Occasionally more than cold, or even hot, water is necessary to clear out the accumulated grease, lint, miscellaneous dirt, and bits of refuse. Washing soda is ordinarily strong enough for bathroom pipes, and may be used in the proportion of 1 part "liquid" soda (made by boiling 1 pound of washing soda and 1 quart of water in an old kettle) to 12 parts hot water, or 1 pound of dry soda thoroughly dissolved in 3 gallons of PROTEIN IN EGGS OF PARTICULAR BENEFIT (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) When the price of eggs drops during the spring months housekeepers generally feel that the time has come to abandon eggless muffins, one-egg cakes and other dishes in which eggs were sparingly used, and to give the family a good deal of the needed protein in the form of eggs. For the protein of eggs, like that of meat, milk and cheese, is of such kind that the body can use it to particular advantage. Moreover, egg yolks are a rich source of iron and vitamin A. Eggs can be served in so many forms and with so many other foods that no one need tire of them. In addition to the common ways of boiling, coddling, frying and poaching, eggs can be used in a great variety of custards and sauces, both sweet and sour. There are also as many kinds of omelets as there are tasty ingredients to put in them. Peppers, cheese, tomatoes, minced ham, chopped chicken, jelly and parsley are all good additions to omelets. The uses for hard-boiled eggs are innumerable. They may be cut up and combined with cream sauce, or the yolks may be put through a ricer and sprinkled over the mixture of chopped whites and sauce, to make "goldenrod eggs." They may be made into devilled eggs for plioches or supper by mixing the yolks with salad dressing and seasonings, and refilling the whites. Devilled-egg salad on a bed of lettuce is appetizing, or a plain egg salad may be made by slicing up the hard-boiled eggs and serving them with other salad ingredients. A hard-boiled egg seems to taste particularly good with spinach, and is often used as a garnish for that vegetable. Egg sandwiches are usually satisfactory and least dry if the yolks are first mixed with salad dressing and are then mixed with the chopped whites. Many dishes calling for a number of eggs, such as souffles, fondues, timbales, and combinations of meat and eggs or cheese and eggs, may be served when they are plentiful. Farmers' Bulletin 487, "Cheese and Its Economical Uses in the Home," which may be obtained free from the United States Department of Agriculture, gives the following recipes, all of which require several eggs: Cheese fondue, rice fondue, corn and cheese souffle, creamed cheese and eggs, baked eggs with cheese, scrambled eggs with cheese, Swiss eggs, cheese souffle, omelets and cheese cougnettes. Eggs may be put into various types of rolls or loaves, containing meat and bread crumbs, or meat and potatoes, improving both their texture and their food value. An entire chapter in a cookbook could be written on cake-making, when the number of eggs called for may be disregarded. As the great problem ordinarily for the housekeeper is to discover recipes for des- boiling water. The drain pipe from the kitchen sink may sometimes need a stronger cleanser, even if it is thoroughly cleaned and flushed after each dishwashing, and for this purpose caustic potash is efficacious, but must be used carefully—the hands must be protected and the potash must not be allowed to touch porcelain or porcelain-lined sinks, because it may destroy the glaze. One pound of crystals dissolved in 2 quarts of water should be poured down the drain. About half an hour later the pipe should be flushed with clear water. Caustic soda, although sometimes recommended, is not desirable, because it is likely to unite with the grease and form a hard soap, that is difficult to remove from the pipes. Fine scourers may be used on all fixtures, says the United States Department of Agriculture. For porcelain and enameled-iron fixtures kerosene and whiting are especially good; the kerosene cuts the grease and the whiting supplies the abrasion. Some of the commercial cleaning preparations used for enameled and porcelain fixtures contain scourers so gritty that they scratch the surface, and thus make the work of cleaning gradually harder. Nothing coarser than whiting should be allowed. serts that are economical in respect to eggs, she has no difficulty at the season of plenty in choosing puddings and desserts which require eggs. Flavored egg-and-milk drinks should not be forgotten. Occasionally it is a good thing to get children to take raw egg in the form of a vanilla, chocolate or orange "egg-nog," while such drinks are usually refreshing and acceptable to those on a light diet or needing nourishment in easily digested form. GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR SOAP Soapbark, Starch or Bran Water May Be Used Without Fear of Injury to Delicate Color. When the action of soap is likely to injure a delicate color, one may use, instead, soapbark, starch water or bran water, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. Soapbark, although not a soap, when heated in water will form suds. To prepare it for use, boll for ten minutes a cupful of the bark with one quart of water, and cool and strain the liquid. The "soapy" water may be used full strength for sponging or diluted washing; half of this amount is enough for one-half tubful of water. Since the liquid is brownish, it should be used only on dark-colored goods. Starch water is especially good for cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This is usually made by adding thin starch paste to the wash water. Water in which rice has been boiled, if it is not discolored, may be used instead. If it is not desirable to have the material starched slightly, it must be rinsed in salt water. Bran water, made in the same way as soapbark solution, is useful with colors that are likely to fade. It does not give suds, but cleans like starch water. All Around the House Eggs may be poached and served on rice. Most ink-stains on linen can be removed by rubbing with a slice of juicy tomato. A teaspoonful of salt put in starch when cooking prevents it from sticking when ironing. A pinch of salt put into the whites of eggs will lessen the time for whipping. A good salad is made of canned peaches, chopped nuts, cottage cheese and mayonnaise. Greens are improved if a piece of dripping is added to the water when they are almost boiling. To keep peeled apples from turning brown while standing, cover them with salt water. When silverware becomes tarnished, place it in potato water and you will find afterwards that it looks like new.

For the mind cannot remain fixed, no matter what the psalmist thought about the heart. Ourselves, like everything and everybody else, must change.—Edgar J. Goodspeed FOR FRIDAY'S FOOD Even in homes where meatless days not observed, it is found profitable to serve fish on Friday as the markets provide a greater variety for that day. Fish in most communities is a plentiful and cheap food. It is easily di- gested and nutritious gested and nutritious. Baked Stuffed Fish.—Prepare a stuffing for fish with one-half cupful of bread crumbs, one-fourth cupful of melted butter, one-half cupful of cracker crumbs, a few drops of onion juice, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a few dashes of pepper, and two tablespoonfuls of chopped sour pickles. Mix and bind with a beaten egg. Stuff the fish and lay on strips of cheese-cloth; this will keep the fish from breaking when lifted from the pan. Bake until the fish leaves the bones. Serve garnished with cress or parsley, with sections of lemon. Jellied Fish.—Cook a two-pound fish and remove all the bones and skin, chop fine, and stir in a little at a time a half cupful of water; add a teaspoonful of salt, the juice of three lemons, one tablespoonful of grated onion, 2 almonds blanched and finely chopped, and a dash of cayenne pepper. When all these ingredients have been well-mixed add two tablespoonfuls of gelatin which has been softened in one-fourth of a cupful of water and dissolved over hot water. Pack in a mold and when thoroughly chilled serve in a crisp nest of lettuce with mayonnaise dressing. Swiss Crumpets.—Beat four eggs, add one teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of butter, one pint of milk and six to nine cupfuls of flour. Mix the ingredients and roll one-fourth of the dough as thin as possible. Cut in pieces two by three inches and let them dry a few minutes, then stretch each piece carefully until it is three times its original size and as thin as a piece of tissue paper, being careful to stretch the edges. Fry in deep fat until brown; dust with powdered sugar. Lemon jelly with chopped vegetables and a few nuts, molded and served on lettuce makes a pretty and novel salad. Serve with any well-liked dressing. Of all the men I have known I cannot recall one whose mother did her level best for him when he was little, who did not turn out well when he grew up.—Frances Parkinson Keyes. WAYS WITH SPRING FOODS Asparagus is one of the most appreciated early vegetables. Cooked until is one of the most appre- vegetables. Cooked until tender and served plain with melted butter it is excellent, or served with cream on toast it makes a delightful luncheon dish. Asparagus Another method which adds variety is to toss the cooked stalks in butter in a hot frying pan, then spread with butter and grated cheese and brown under the gas flame. Hollandaise sauce is also delicious with cooked asparagus. Cream of asparagus soup is one of the most delicious of all cream soups. Served with a spoonful of whipped cream on top of each bowl, with a sprinkling of minced chives or finely shredded almonds, the soup is par excellence. Cooked stalks thrust through a ring of pepper or tomato and served with rich mayonnaise (a spoonful placed on the side of the salad plate), makes a delightful salad. Rhubarb is one of our early fruits. It is especially good for the system and blends well with other fruits as drinks. Rhubarb sliced, sprinkled with sugar and baked in the oven until tender is unusually good in flavor. Combined with strawberries and pineapple a most delicious jam or conserve is made. The cultivated mustard is one of the nicest greens for serving, cooked and dressed with butter and vinegar or lemon juice, or cooked with a slice of fat salt pork. The fresh, pretty leaves served with lettuce in a salad add a zest to the dish which is well liked. Mustard grows freely and should be found in every garden as it continues to put forth leaves all summer. If the blossoms are kept picked the plants may be useful until late in the fall. Spanish onion with green or red pepper in rings, radishes and watercress, all add variety to the salads of this time of the year. A fine dinner menu for this season is a dish of greens with a slice of corned beef, salt pork or ham, which have been cooked together, potatoes, onion salad and rhubarb ple—a dinner which is not only filling but medicinal. There is no food more healthful for young and old than the fresh, juicy fruits. Nellie Maxwell The Kitchen Cabinet (©. 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) The luxury of all summer's sweet sensation is to be found when one lies at length in the warm, fragrant grass, soaked with sunshine, aware of regions of blossoming clover and of high heaven filled with the hum of immerable bees—Harriet E. Prescott. WHAT TO EAT The codfish is one of our most common and well-liked fish. Codfish balls when well made make a most nourishing lunch or breakfast dish. 鱼 Codfish Balls. — Cut the fish into pieces or shred it with a fork, measuring two cupfuls. Cook four cupfuls of potatoes until tender, drain and shake until dry. Mash, add two beaten eggs, one tablespoonful of butter and a little white or cayenne pepper. Beat and mix well and drop by spoonfuls into deep hot fat. Drain on paper and keep hot in the oven. Serve very hot. Baked potatoes and codfish gravy, made by making a rich white sauce and adding the shredded fish, or using a drawn butter sauce, makes a most wholesome dish. Sour cream instead of milk to use in making the white sauce is especially tasty with the codfish. Just try it. Blankette of Veal. — Take three pounds of the best end of a breast of veal; wipe the meat with a damp cloth and cut into pieces two inches square. Add water just to cover the veal, a carrot scraped and cut into quarters, two small onions tied in a bit of cheesecloth with a teaspoonful of celery seed, two branches of parsley, two cloves and a bit of bay leaf. Cover and simmer until the veal is tender—about two hours; strain the broth, discard the vegetables and keep the veal hot. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add three tablespoonfuls of flour, stir and cook until smooth, add the broth, add salt and pepper to taste and beat in the yolks of two eggs diluted with half a cupful of cream and stir into the sauce; cook without boiling, then add the juice of half a lemon and pour the sauce over the veal. Serve at once. Sportsman Trout.—Take two fresh young trout, clean, wash and wipe dry. Salt and pepper them and place in a narrow baking pan. Fill the pan to the top of the fish and bake until a light brown. The cream will make sufficient sauce and the fish will be well-seasoned. Last night the unseen gates swung back go softly no one knew The troops of dreary, darksome things that silently withdrew; For down a way All somber gray. Like phantoms put to rout. The bleakness of the winter days slipped sighing, shuffling out. The long cold, purple shadows fled, and the late ling'ring snow. To leave a patch of healing green where early violets glow. SOMETHING TO EAT A few soups without meat may be acceptable at this time of the year. Celery Soup. Take one quart of finely-cut celery, add one quart of boiling water, cook five minutes in a closely covered fireless cooker kettle, then Celery Soup. Take one quart of finely-cut celery, add one quart of boiling water, cook five minutes in a closely covered fireless cooker kettle, then place on a heated stone in a fireless cooker for two hours. Heat one pint of milk thickened with one tablespoonful each of butter and flour cooked together. Put the celery through a potato ricer and return to the water in which it was boiled, add the thickened milk, season with salt and pepper and a dash of nutmeg, boll two minutes and serve. One bunch of asparagus may be cooked the same way, making a delicious asparagus soup. A cupful of cream or rich milk with an egg stirred in at the last will make a more nourishing and richer soup. **Spring Vegetable Soup.**—Place in a fireless cooker kettle one cupful of green peas, one cupful of asparagus, one-half cupful of carrots cut into small dice, two stalks of celery, two green onions and a small sprig of parsley; cook all in one quart of water (bolling) closely covered for ten minutes, then place in the cooker and leave for four hours. Rub the mixture through a sieve, add a tablespoonful of flour, two tablespoonfuls of butter; cook until smooth, add a dash of cloves, a teaspoonful of salt, a bit of cayenne; mix all together and serve hot. Cauliflower Cream Soup.—Take two cupfuls of minced cauliflower, drop it into a quart of milk and let it come to the boiling point, cover and let simmer on the back of the stove for five minutes then place in the cooker for two hours. Thicken with butter and flour, boil up and serve with a teaspoonful of minced parsley. Rice Pudding.—Wash one-third of a cupful of rice, mix it with one quart of milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half cupful of sugar, a grating of nutmeg and the grated rind of half a lemon. Bake in a pudding dish, stirring three times during the first hour of baking. Bake for three hours in a slow oven. Telephone Franklin 7-W. Pearl J.

THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY RICH, STRAIGHT-LINE DRESS OF BLUE MOIRE IF THERE is anyone privileged to vie with the bride in the distinction of her toilette, it is that happy young person's mother. And the mother of the groom will aspire to do as well. These older women may or may not be youthful in appearance—that has little to do with the success of their costumes. It is the poise and carriage of maturity which lends to them a distinction that can dare to challenge youth. And the modes are kind to them, presenting a long array of fascinating styles for matrons.
