LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY FIGHT OVER LOUISIANA NEGRO REPUBLICAN REOPENS BEHIND SENATE'S SECRET VEIL Charges of Political Deals and Trades and Ku Klux Klan Affairs Are Hurled in Argument VOL. XXX FIGHT OVER LOUISE REPUBLICAN RE SEN Charges of Political Deals and Affairs Are Hurt Washington, Feb. 27.—Behind the veil of official secrecy which cloaks the Senate's executive business, the fight over the nomination of Walter L. Cohen, Louisiana Negro Republican leader, to be comptroller of customs at New Orleans, was reopened today by a move for reconsideration of the secret vote which rejected him. Charges and counter charges of deals and trades, political and otherwise; the effect on the Negro vote in the northern states and the membership of the Ku Klux Klan in others, figure in the unofficial reports of what is going on while senators decline to discuss "executive affairs." Reconsideration of Cohen's nomination comes in a motion filed by Senator Shipstead, one of the Farmer-Labor senators from Minnesota, after conference with Senator La Follette, head of the Republican insurgent group. The nomination was rejected by almost a solid lineup of Democrats strengthened by insurgent Republicans. When Senator Brookheart, Republican, Iowa, was asked today concerning an unofficial report of the executive session that his position against Cohen had brought him support for the chairmanship of the special committee to investigate Attorney General Daugherty, Senator Brookhart replied that lie never discussed executive business, and was in favor of abolishing executive sessions. He added, "I don't make deals with anybody." The roll call on Cohen's rejection has not been made public, and a pending resolution by Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, to put the thing in the open by publishing the votes, has threatened a new complication. Democrats charge privately that Republicans fighting for Cohen's confirmation are acting with regard to the Negro vote in the northern states and in turn the Republicans charge the Democrats opposing Cohen with race prejudice. There is another charge that various senators not wishing to become involved, absented themselves at voting time. Miss Brown Named Alternate Delegate Miss Brown Named Alternate Delegate Head of Colored Women's Clubs of Country Probably Will be Only Race Women Seated Washington, D. C., Feb. 15. "I recommend Miss Brown for that honor because she is a talented woman and a fine speaker and will do honor and credit to the Republican party in Ohio," declared Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, vice chairman of the executive committee of the Republican national committee in a statement to the Preston News reporter, when telling of the selection of Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce, Ohio, and president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, as an alternate delegate-atlarge to the Republican National Convention that meets in Cleveland, Ohio, next June to nominate a candidate for President and Vice President of the United States. According to Mrs. Upton, Miss Brown will probably be the only Negro woman to be seated in the convention and participate in the deliberations of that meeting. Women Pleased With Selection Prominent club women in all parts of the United States have signified their satisfaction in the selection of Miss Brown. Most of them contend that Miss Brown is amply capable to intelligently represent the race and especially its women in an exceedingly credible manner. U. S. Leads World in Sins, Declares Official of Y.M.C.A. Chicago, Feb. 27.—"The people of the United States are the worst sinners in the world," according to Dr. George Sherwood Eddy, international secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, speaking before 1,500 students at Northwestern University. Dr. Eddy deprecated race prejudice, the curbing of freedom by the Ku Klux Klan and the control of one-third of the entire wealth of the country by 180 men. He said the seeds of crookedness and deceit were being sown in many of the best colleges, and as a result "the United States is undoubtedly leader in moral and cultural degradation." The speaker said he based his conclusions upon his personal observations taken on a recent tour of Japan, China, Russia and Germany, where the student liberal movement is making headway in the war against corruption and militarism. Working Class Districts Hit by Chicago Rent Increase Chicago, Ill., Feb. 23—Negroes on the south side are going to be the hardest hit by rent increases that will be made May 1. Rents in all working class districts will be sent soaring above present outrageous high levels, says the Tenants' Protective League. The League estimates that flats renting for $60 a month in the near south side colored districts will be raised 100 per cent May¹. Chicago as a whole will be asked to pay from 5 per cent to 15 per cent a month more after the first of May. Apartments renting from $75 to $100 a month will be raised from $10 to $15 a month. The highest rates of increase will be put over on the south side. Speculation in property has been general in that district, because of the proposal to build a subway on the south side. Renting agencies refuse to discuss the possibility of rent increases. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1924. State Convention to Favor Coolidge Leaders Predict State Convention to Favor Coolidge Leaders Predict Evidences of Party Harmony Seen on Eve of Republican Meeting at Springs Denver, Feb. 25.—A solid delegation of fifteen Coolidge supporters will be selected by the Republican state convention at Colorado Springs on March 11, according to the opinion of Republican leaders from all parts of the state. Charles W. Waterman, Colorado manager of the Coolidge pre-convention campaign, predicted today that not only would the delegation to the national convention be solid for the president, but that the delegates to the state convention also would be practically unanimous in their opinion. "Additional reports from all sections," Mr. Waterman said, "confirm the early belief that Colorado Republicans are convinced that the nomination and election of Calvin Coolidge would be the best thing for the nation. The Coolidge administration has shown itself wise and fearless. The people's affairs are safe with Coolidge; the people know he is a man whom they can trust. It is unthinkable that his own party would fail to recognize the achievements, the courage and the clear vision of the man who now occupies the White House." Delegates Being Chosen County conventions at which apportionment is decided and delegates to the state convention selected are being held throughout the state under the call recently issued by the state chairman. Two delegates to the national convention will be selected from each of the state's four congressional districts before the state convention meets, leaving seven delegates-at-large to be chosen by the state assemblage. Besides selecting national delegates, the choice of a national committeeman will also be made on March 11. Under the rules, the national committeeman is chosen by the delegates to the national convention. The state convention may, however, instruct the national delegates as to the choice. An augury of party success in the fall election is seen in the complete harmony which is apparent before the state convention. Not a ripple of discord was discernible during the meeting of the state committee at which the time and place of the state convention was decided; and party enthusiasm reached a high pitch during the Lincoln day dinner, the largest political gathering of its sort held in the state in recent years. Although several score have been mentioned as prospective candidates for places on the national delegation, and a number of candidates for the honor of representing Colorado Republicanism on the national committee have been announced, there is every indication that the process of selection will be completely without bitterness, and that all, regardless of outcome, will be ready to work with diligence and enthusiasm, for Republican victory next November. American Negroes Should Emphasize Their Race Consciousness in Working out for Themselves Problems of Their Own" Expresses Fannie Hurst New York City, Feb. 20.—Fannie Hurst, short story writer, thinks the American Negro needs race consciousness. Speaking at the annual meeting of the Circle of Negro Relief, of which she is a member of the board of directors, Miss Hurst expressed herself as follows: "It seems to me that in the Negro problem here in this country the answer lies in emphasizing among colored people of America their race consciousness—working out their own problems for themselves. Now one of the greatest determining forces in America is the vote and one of the most latent powers in the country is the colored vote. As a vote it is less expressed probably than any force in this country. "The colored vote, although I do not know the statistics, is undoubtedly more important than the woman vote, and yet we have not heard as much about the Negro vote as we have about the woman vote; but I feel perfectly sure as I look at the slightly awakening self-consciousness of the American Negro that the importance of his vote is coming through self-expression, by asking for what he wants, and if he does not get it in that way by demanding it, by thinking about his politics, by knowing generally about his politics rather than by being swayed by politics. "There is no doubt that more and more the creative influence of the American Negro is making itself felt in our national life as well as in the industrial life where the Negro is also taking his place. The Negro is also taking his place in the arts and especially music, where Negro music heads the list. Certainly the Negro is expressing himself in three different ways in this country, but politically he is still asleep. "Politically he is not getting his rights and he is not going to get them through us or other kindly disposed or interested white people. He is going to get what rightfully belong to him through himself and by demanding proper health conditions, proper housing conditions. "I say to you, the Government of the United States is yours. It is yours to use and the plea that I bring here tonight in these few minutes of talk is to use your Government, learn how to vote intelligently. Use all power to ask for industrial, civic and social health, and you will get health. Ask for it through your vote."

Commission to Virgin Islands Warmly Welcomed Commission to Virgin Islands Warmly Welcomed St. Croix Citizens in Large Numbers Greet U. S. Delegation St. Croix, Virgin Islands, Feb. 20.—(By A. N. P.)—In contrast with the rather indifferent reception accorded to the members of the All-Negro Commission recently appointed by the President to investigate conditions in the Virgin Islands on their arrival in the island of St. Thomas, the Commission was given a rousing welcome on their visit to the Island of St. Croix. The Commission arrived at Christiansted, St. Croix. On the wharf to receive them was an imposing gathering of citizens of the Island. Prominent in this group were the Dispatching-Secretary, representing the Government, the members of the Colonial Council, Minister of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and officers and members of the St. Croix Benevolent Society. The members of the St. Croix Benevolent Society and of the A. M. E. Sunday schools dressed in their regalia and carrying the banners of the Society, Church and Sunday schools marched in procession from the church to the wharf led by the Native Brass Band, Presiding Elder Robinson, Deacon Bough and Mrs. R. G. Barrow, District Superintendent of the Sunday schools were at the head of the procession. After salutations were exchanged between the Commission, the Government Secretary and the members of the Colonial Council, the Ministers and the District Superintendent of the Sunday schools of the A. M. E. Church were in turn introduced to the commission by the Hon. Lawyer D. Hamilton Jackson, member of the Colonial Council of St. Croix.

Negro Teachers Seek Equal Pay in New Jersey Declare That Discrimination Against Them Will Break Their Morale and Hurt Children New York City, Feb. 23.—Why should the salary of the Negro teacher be less than that of his white colleagues when both have to observe the same standards of performance and make the same preparation This is the question which the Organization of Teachers of Colored Children of the State of New Jersey is circulating with the purpose of disclosing that the lower pay in the Counties of Salem, Cape May, Cumberland and Monmouth is based on racial grounds only and not on the practical consideration of the teacher's worth. According to a resolution recently passed by the organization, Negro teachers in these four counties are in many cases receiving from $100 to $200 less annually than the white teachers. This same resolution voices the opinion that should this salary preference continue the morale of the teaching force will break down and inflict an irreparable injury on school children, who, according to the organization stand in most need of tutelage. The second article of the resolution says, "A lower salary schedule must inevitably attract an inferior grade of teacher to the colored school preventing the colored school from maintaining an efficient standard; many of New Jersey's school children are in this manner denied equal educational opportunities, and the spirit of the State Constitution is violated. Say Dunbar Was White Chicago, Feb. 21.—A special dispatch to the Eastern Sun here, declares that Gary, Ind., white teachers are instructing their children that Dunbar, the Negro poet, was of Indian and Spanish descent.

Howard who has been so very ill in the past ten days is much improved at this writing being able to set up quite a bit through the day. DOHENY DESTROYS SOME AMBITIONS HIS REVELATIONS WRECK THE HOPES OF ONE CANDIDATE AND MAY HURT OTHERS. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — Washington politicians of neither party are showing evidences of overweening affection for Edward L. Doheny, who has been one of the most picturesquely interesting witnesses to be called before the senate committee investigating the oil lease scandal, for scandal is the word now generally employed in connection with the case. A the politicians view it, Mr. Doheny is a champion manipulator of the guillotine. He has been at work decapitating the captains. Irrespective of party feelings, Washington today seems to think that one great Democratic chieftain has been eliminated as a presidential possibility by the fact that he was employed as a lawyer for the oil company which, it is charged, was trying to make too rich a strike in the public domain. Of course it is William G. McAdoo who is counted by a good many men here as being out of the Democratic race for the nomination. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen. Washington politicians speak of Mr. McAdoo today as definitely out of consideration, and with him are one or two Democrats who, it must be said, were only remotely possible ultimate nomination winners. No Democrat and no Republican of the so-called conservative school thinks that Mr. McAdoo's former connection, as attorney, with the Doheny interests ought to disqualify him from the proper pressing of his ambition, but they say the people will look at it differently and that therefore it is a case of down and out for the hitherto most conspicuous candidate for the Democratic nomination. Public Opinion Has Changed. Public Opinion Has Changed. Things work curiously in politics. Fifteen years ago it is probable that most of the people would have applauded any man who entered into the service of an independent oil company in any proper capacity. All that one had to do in a somewhat elder day in Washington to rouse suspicion and awaken words of scorn would be to mention the Standard Oil company. Anything which was done in the way of attack on the so-called trust in behalf of independents fighting against it in the field would have been commended as a patriotic duty. Today things have changed. It seems many people feel that independents in the oil fields can have as much of the mark of the devil of capitalism as a trust can have. It is a case of "big money," whether it is made, handled or spent by an independent company or by one which wears the gyves and shackles of Combination in Restraint of Trade. One great Democratic newspaper already has eliminated Mr. McAdoo from the field of presidential nomination possibilities. This newspaper said editorially from the first that it would be dangerous for Democrats in congress to try to make political capital of the Fall incident. It seems to have spoken truly. Democrats' Plans Are Misty. What are the Democrats going to do with Mr. McAdoo out of it? A good many of them were trying to put the former treasury chieftain, of it at a time when they did not have such pow ruf ousting implements as they have today. William G. McAdoo was by far the most likely choice of the Democratic convention for the presidential nomination. It was believed he would have a majority of the delegates and would be likely after a few ballots to secure the required two-thirds majority. It is probable that the Democratic leaders will move a little slowly for a while in their endeavor to fix upon someone who is big enough for the presidential job and yet who can stand unblinking in the light of publicity. No one knows yet who Doheny, the kl-gkiller, is likely to bring next to the block. Republicans here are somewhat ill-attent, possibly more so than the occasion justifies, but they say they have found justification for their first pronouncement that guilt is personal and not partisan. It matters nothing that they would have made it partisan if it had been a Democrat working under a Republican administration who first had been accused of doing the thing which ought to have been left undone. So it seems to be that some gentlemen with ambitions are to be sacrificed not because they had anything to do with oil leases which ought not to have been granted, but simply because they accepted retailers and pay from men who, developments seemingly have shown, thought that any means of money-making were justifiable even if they involved the tempting of men whose clients were supposed to be the people and no one else. Wilson and the Correspondents. Woodrow Wilson's relations with the press of the United States were unlike those maintained by any other recent president. He knew how to take advantage of high occasions for the use of the press for the presenting of his fixed opinions, but concerning the ordinary affairs of administration and even the world politics, he was silent when wide news publicity, it was believed, might have been of high service to his cause. This with Woodrow Wilson probably was a matter of temperance. He was not what men call spontaneous. It was said occasionally in his life that he lacked a love of human companionship, but no man with Woodrow Wilson's sense of humor ever was entirely lacking in the human qualities which make for close friendship. On many an occasion when in conference with the body of Washington correspondents he would illustrate his meaning with a story always to the point and always sharply humorous. The newspaper correspondents in Washington did not have the close relations with Woodrow Wilson that they had with his predecessors in office from Grover Cleveland's day. It was only once or twice during his administration that he permitted himself to be interviewed by an individual correspondent. For a considerable time, he met the newspaper men in a body, answered their questions and occasionally outlined to them some legislative or economic thought of his which he believed might be of interest to the public. "Open Door" Not Very Open. When Mr. Wilson came into office there was a belief in Washington that the White House would become an actively working bureau of information. This belief was founded on the president's statement concerning the necessity of "pitiless publicity." There was much talk about the open door, but the door never was thrown back far enough to strain its hinges. When President Wilson wished so to do, however, he knew how to present a matter so that it not only would be given publicity, but given it in a form bristling with news points. He knew news, but probably did not realize at all times its true value as an asset to his administration. Once upon a time, however, Woodrow Wilson gave to the country a news story which had a continuing and enlarging life for months. The correspondents had gone to the White House for their weekly conference, fully believing for the most part, probably, that the day's proceedings would be but a repetition of those of other days which had produced no news of moment. In truth, a good many of the correspondents after attending a few of the president's conferences stayed away because they thought nothing ever was likely to develop to make them hurry to the telegraph office. His Exposure of the Lobby. On this particular occasion, however, Mr. Wilson began the conference by saying: "There is a pernicious lobby at work in congress against the interests of the people." Then he outlined what he meant, Congress was stirred and the country was stirred and an investigation followed. It was found to the satisfaction of most people that a lobby was at work and that the president was right in calling it pernicious. In the course of investigation it was discovered that some former members of congress, taking advantage of the fact that their one-time status gave them unchallenged entrance to the house and almost unchallenged entrance to the committee rooms, were here as the paid attorneys of certain of the country's great business interests. The confessions of one or two of these gentlemen, forced confessions for the most part, it was thought would prevent any effort on their part in the future of attempted reentry into public life—but one or two of them, are sitting in congress today. There probably will not be one-tenth as many anecdotes related in the future of Woodrow Wilson as there were of Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Wilson did not lend himself readily to those things which make the spirit of an anecdote. Some of the men who were closely associated with him in an official way curing his administration have stories about him laid by, and one day will tell them, but from the few of them that one has heard they are almost entirely of a serious nature, never frivolous and seldom light. Light Depends on Rubber Every commercial use of electricity in the United States is dependent on our import trade. How? By insulation materials, made of rubber. Take away rubber and our cities, our homes, would be dark. We could not use the telephone nor the radio nor the cable, nor the telegraph. Of the world's production of crude rubber 70 per cent of the plantation acreage is British-owned, and 5.6 per cent is owned by American capital consisting of 55,000 cultivated acres and 40,000 acres undeveloped. In Sumatra. Within the dominion of the United States there is a limited acreage in Mindanao, Philippine Islands.—National Foreign Trade Council. The New Poor John Corbin, the champion of the new-poor college professor, minister author and intelligentsia class generally, said at a banquet in New York: "A man rang the bell of a professor of Greek the other day. The professor, of course, had no servant, and opened the door himself. The man bowed and said: "Excuse me, sir. I'm collecting for the poor. What do you do with your old clothes?" "I fold them carefully and hang them over a chair every night," said the professor, 'and in the morning I put them on again.'" American Haste "Why are you Americans always so nervous and in a hurry?" inquired the visitor from abroad. "You'd be in a hurry too," answered Mr. Chuggins, "if you had to transact a day's business and were only allowed to park forty-five minutes." PUBLIC TRUSTEE'S SALE No. 2398 Whereas, Jane E.

SCHUYLER TAKES WITNESS STAND NEW NAMES DRAGGED INTO PROBE THROUGH TELEGRAMS SENT BY McLEAN DENVER ATTORNEY DESCRIBES DEAL IN WHICH STACK 'AND BONFILS GOT MILLION Washington. — Another engrossing chapter crammed with mystery and personal emotion has been added to the public records by the Senate oil investigators. The characters in the story included such mysterious personages as "Apricots," "Peaches" and "The Duck," referred to in code messages exchanged between Edward B. McLean, publisher of the Washington Post, and his employees, during his visit to Florida. Additional witnesses were summoned, among them A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney general in the Wilson administration, who acted for a time as counsel for McLean in communications with the oil committee. Karl C. Schuyler, a Denver attorney, was called to the stand. Schuyler took the inquiry back to the Teapot dome field, explaining that he had represented the Midwest Refining Company and the Pioneer Oil Company, which had claims in that field. He reviewed at great length the now famous conference at Kansas City at which Harry F. Sinclair agreed to pay $1,000,000 to J. Leo stack, Denver oil operator, and Frederick G. Bonfills, publisher of the Denver, Colo., Post. "After my introduction to Sinclair," he testified, "and without further preliminaries, I said: "Mr. Bonfills has told me that your last and final offer of settlement is $100,000 and a one-half interest in the net profits from the operation by you of 120 acres to be selected from your lease. On behalf of Mr. Stack I decline this offer. "Sinclair said: 'Stack will not get another dollar.' "Colonel Zeverly (Sinclair's lawyer) and I then engaged in conversation. I supported my contentions with a partial recital of the facts and principles I have already discussed. "Sinclair broke into the conversation with the remark that $100,000 is a lot of money and Stack ought to be satisfied with it." The conversation between Mr. Sinclair and myself led to the settlement—a conversation lasting about one hour and a half. "I said, 'Mr. Sinclair, if any young man came to you today and created a situation for you to enter upon whereby you might secure an oil property as valuable as the Teapot structure, would you think of valuing his services at less than $1,000,000? "Mr. Sinclair finally said: 'Well, it's a big thing, and perhaps you are not asking too much.'" Schuyler told the committee that because Stack's claim "in some quarters has been disparaged, declared to be baseless and held up to public contempt, I desire to summarize Mr. Stack's situation as he presented to me from time to time and the fair inferences to be drawn therefrom." He then reviewed Stack's efforts with E. L. Doheny to get leases in Teapot and asserted that the contract Stack subsequently entered into with the Pioneer Company was a valid one and bound the company to use all its efforts to obtain leases on offset wells in Teapot. Daugherty Retains Counsel Chicago.—Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, on leaving Chicago for Florida, announced that he had retained George E. Chamberlin, former United States senator from Oregon, and Paul Howland, Cleveland attorney, to represent his personal interests in the Senate oil investigation. Mr. Daugherty's statement, in the form of a telegram to Senator Frank B. Willis, requested Senator Willis to again advise the Senate that he had not opposed the passage of the Wheeler resolution, which comes up for consideration in the Senate. Mob Attacks Texas Jail Lufkin.—Four men were wounded, none fatally, when officers fired into a mob which stormed the Angelina county jail here in an effort to get Booker T.

And All Directed Toward Better Service Telephone and Co. FOREIGN The British cabinet has decided to carry out the naval construction program previously agreed upon and will probably work upon six new cruisers immediately. Secretary of War Serrano declared in a statement issued in Mexico City that a crushing defeat had been administered by Obregon troops on rebel forces under Jose Moran at De la Curue. A Chinese court at Herbin, Manchuria, denied the appeal of Alexis Karniloff, Russian desperado, and reaffirmed the death sentence passed last November. Korniloff was the first white man ever sentenced to death in a Chinese court. Two fallen military Idols—General Erich Ludendorff, known during the great war as the "brains of the German army," and Adolph Hitler leader of the Bavarian Fascist—have been placed on trial in Munich charged with treason for their part in the "beer cellar revolt" last November. The Canadian embargo on cattle from the states of California, Oregon and Nevada will remain in effect until assurance is received from the United States that the foot and mouth disease is wiped out in the three states, it was made known in Ottawa by the Department of Agriculture. Carlos Largos, commander of troops supporting the dictatorship of former President Lopez Guilterrez, in Honduras, and General Vincente Tosta, commanding one of the revolutionary armies have agreed upon a forty-eighteen hour armistice, according to advises received in New Orleans by Manuel Paz, acting consul general for Honduras. Gen. Marquis de Cavalcantl has been acquitted by the Supreme Tribunal of War, before which he was brought for trial in connection with the annihilation of a Spanish convoy at Tisza in October, 1921. Three of his subordinate officers, in Morroco, were found guilty. Generals Tuero and Sirvent were convicted and sentenced to one year and one day in prison, and General Lacanal was given six months and one day. The English. dock strike, lasting ten days, was settled quickly when the delegates met in conference. Acceptance of the terms was almost unanimous, only two minor ports having objected. A feature of the strike, which involved many thousands of men, was complete absence of disorders, although the strike extended over all parts of the kingdom and dockers generally are regarded as a somewhat unruly class of workers. GENERAL The estate of Woodrow Wilson goes to his widow, Mrs. Edith Bolling Wilson, under the terms of the ex-President's last will filed for probate in Washington. William Baker, private in the marine corps stationed at San Diego, Calif., rode into the union station at Dallas, Texas, a few days ago nailed inside a coffin. The young leatherneck arrived safely laid out in a pine box in the baggage coach of a Santa Fe passenger train. Trainmen, who suspected the "corpse" they were hauling ripped the lid off the box and turned the "body" over to authorities. Baker said he ran out of money at Prescott, Ariz., and had a stranger at the station nail on the lid and ship him C. O. D. Three, men believed by the New Orleans police to have been implicated in the escape several weeks ago of Emory Connell from the Arkansas state penitentiary at Little Rock a few days before the date set for his execution were arrested in New Orleans last week. Several days after his escape, Connell was shot and killed by prison guards who had followed his trail. The men taken into custody were Jack Nelson, of Omaha, Neb., Melvin Stofer and Joseph Lee both of New Orleans. Almost continuous blasting of ice gorges at points on the Platte river between Omaha and Columbus, Neb., seventy-five miles west, has been necessary in the last week to prevent the destruction of railroad bridges at two points across the river, railroad officials stated in Omaha. Former Secretary of the Interior Albert S. Fall, accompanied by Mrs. Fall, have returned to their ranch home at Three Rivers, N. M., after a stay of several days at their residence in El Paso. Mr. Fall, while withholding a statement of his plans, seemed much improved in health and walked to the train without assistance. Work to straighten the channel of the Rio Grande in order to definitely fix the boundaries of the United States and Mexico was started last week in El Paso, Texas, by a joint commission composed of one delegate from each of the nations. Due to the meandering of the river, misunderstandings have occurred between border guardians while enforcing the national laws. Smugglers have frequently retreated to disputed territory. Katherine Malm, 19 years old, was found guilty in Chicago of the murder of Edward Lehman, a watchman, during a robbery. The jury fixed her punishment at life imprisonment. The jury returned its verdict after deliberating an hour and a half. George Randolph Chester, author, playwright and creator of a number of popular fictional characters, among them "Get-Rich Quick Wallingford," died suddenly of a heart attack a few days ago at his home in New York City. He was born in Cincinnati in 1869.

The per capita wealth was $3,247, an increase of 63 per cent. Ten California counties are under strict federal or state quarantine, while a provisional quarantine has been placed on eleven others, in a fight against an outbreak of foot and mouth disease that has attracted the attention of the nation. Two women narrowly escaped death by asphyxiation and more than $50,000 worth of motion picture films were destroyed by a fire that started in a cutting room of the William Fox studios in Hollywood. The women were Misses Catherine Vose and Josephine Rompagne. Twenty-eight thousand dollars in currency was scattered along the right of way of the Southern Pacific company for 125 miles when the sack containing the payroll of the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company at Ely, Nev., was thrown from the train at Cobre, a junction point. The sack bounced back under the car and was torn open. The loss was not discovered until the train reached Carlin. Without a record vote the United States Senate has approved an appropriation in the interior bill for a hydroelectric plant in the Boise, Idaho, reclamation project. The appropriations committee had recommended elimination of the item. An amendment by Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah, which would have added $1,500,000 to the $40,000 appropriation carried in the bill for Strawberry Valley project, went out on a point of order. Two boys and one girl were drowned when an automobile carrying eleven persons plunged over an embankment into an irrigation canal on the Benson-Tombstone highway, fourteen miles west of Tombstone, Ariz. The dead, who were pinned beneath the machine in eight feet of water, were: Cecelia Lopez, 16; Carlos Cales, 18, and Jesus Hernandez, 17. The driver or the machine, Jose Abuna, is being held here and authorities announce a charge of manslaughter would be filed against him. WASHINGTON Two major amendments were incorporated in the revenue bill by the House amd storms of debate involving a series of personal exchanges, threats of Republican organization leaders to vote against the passage of the entire bill, and a warning from Representative Mills, Republican, New York, of the possibility of a presidential veto. The session ended in a row over reduction of the automobile taxes. The navy is still anxious to make the polar flight with the airship Shenandoah this summer, and in the event permission should finally be given, it is prepared to rush to completion plans for the journey, which were ordered suspended by President Coolidge pending the development of the attitude of Congress. Estimates that 25,000 Indians may, upon application, become American citizens, without sacrificing any of their tribal rights, were made by the Indian office in a report on the Snyder bill, recently reported favorably by the House committee on Indian affairs. Two-thirds of the country's Indian population now enjoy American citizenship. The news bureau of the Republican national committee has issued a statement declaring the act which gives the secretaries of the navy and interior the power to lease public oil reserves was fathered by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana. That section under which Secretary Denby acted in signing the Doheny and Sinclair leases, the statement said, was written by former Secretary Josephus Daniels. The principles which will guide awards on all claims arising from the sinking of the Lustania are set forth in a decision handed down by Judge Edwin B. Parker, umpire of the German-American mixed claims commission, disposing of fifty-seven cases. Under Judge Parker's decision, which was made public a few days ago, the German government must pay about $1,000,000 in eighty-eight separate awards to Americans for losses sustained through death, injury, property damage or otherwise.

THIS paper has spoken before of the congestion of colored youth in the cities. It makes the city a problem and the race uplift a deeper problem; the intellectual, industrial, moral, physical and spiritual advancement a bigger problem still. Cities have always been both the despair and hope of every great prophet and reformer. Little, perhaps, as we think, it was Cain, a murderer, a fugitive and a vagabond for whom the earth (land or country) refused to yield her strength that built the first city, and it seems that this class of persons has inhabited the cities ever since. Cities are often built for and named after men and usually take on the characteristic of their founders. The first city ever built (Enoch) was the beginning of barter and polygamy and so it has ever been. Babel was an attempt to take the kingdom of heaven by force. Sodom and Gomorrah did not possess ten righteous persons to save them. Babylon has become the synonym for iniquity. Nineveh merited the invective of an entire prophetic book of the Bible. Of imperial Rome, the historian Horace said: "O! venal city, destined soon to perish." Of London Carlyle said, "What a fermenting vat lies hidden in a great city." But we will not continue to multiply instances of the dangers, crime and sufferings of the city. Few have studied the city problems. If members of the race would make the city, its conditions and pitfalls a study, we might be able to do something worth while for our young men. The Colorado Statesman is but a voice, a single voice; it cannot do all. We can only point the way. Good men and women, literary societies, lodges and the Church must co-operate if we are going to save the race in the city. We are not alarmists or calamity howlers, but we simply proclaim that our city youths are doomed unless a change is effected some way. What do you suggest? WHAT THE AMERICAN NEGRO WANTS TWO OF Denver's eminent race men and public speakers will answer this question at the Central Y. M. C. A., Sunday afternoon, hence THE COLORADO STATESMAN will make no effort to do so in this brief article. We are however deeply interested in the views of a noted white woman, whose observation of our racial needs appear on another page of this paper. Speaking before the Circle for Negro Relief recently, she urged that the needful element in the life of the Negro is race consciousness—the working out of our own problems by ourselves. As a proper and immediate step in this direction she saw in the use of the ballot a strong determining force and deplored our slack use of its provisions. Here is indeed the crux of the whole situation for certain it is that the Negro does not make use of the ballot as he should. Too often we confuse petty ward politics with the sacred privilege of voting, overlooking the fact that the right of franchise determines our status as men and women. There can be no doubt that the colored vote in many quarters is the subject of abuse and works to the Negro's own detriment times without number. This however was before the awakening of self consciousness and a knowledge of his power through means of self expression. It is a matter of common history that the white man has looked upon the Negro vote as merely a convenient vehicle to place him in office, with no regard whatever for his word the day following election. A development of race consciousness would mean that the Negro regarded and held the ballot as a sacred weapon to defend his rights on the one hand and to demand common justice on the other. There is no need for us to worry over the white man's politics. Our worries should be for and about ourselves with every purpose to make certain that the "creative influence of the American Negro is making itself felt in our national life," more and more. It is hardly important nor even necessary that any one should debate the question as to what the American Negro wants. This question he must decide for himself and then go after it intelligently and forcefully. Perhaps we could reach the point by a more direct line if we would take to our hearts individually and collectively the sage observation of our interested white friend, who says of the American Negro: "Politically he is not getting his rights and he is not going to get them through us or other kindly disposed or interested white people. He is going to get what rightfully belongs to him through himself and by demanding proper health conditions, proper housing conditions. "I say to you, the Government of the United States is yours. It is yours to use and the plea that I bring here tonight in these few minutes of talk is to use your Government, learn how to vote intelligently. Use all power to ask for industrial, civic and social health, and you will get health. Ask for it through your vote." THE WORLD NEEDS LEADERS. THE human family the world over is milling around in a most bewildering fashion these days, apparently unable to find a pathway out of the muck and mire of small jealousies and national hatred and distrust. Everybody wants something, but no one seems to be able to find out just what it is. Everybody in every land is protesting against existing conditions as found and encountered with a sufficiency of acumen and ability of leadership to point the way to better conditions. In fact, the most needful element in human society today is leadership, and by that we have courageous, unselfish leadership in all lines. The voice of authority has been reduced to a whisper and the directing hand is withered as well as the master mind dwarfed. Not in any given line, nor in any nation, does there stand out a huge character of sufficient power and influence as to be hailed a real leader of men, of ideas, of public policy. Lenin, favored by a brief dictatorship over a Russian proletariat, now occupies a dishonored and forgotten grave. Italy gives us Mussolini for a day, but he is distrusted and his motivixes questioned by allied powers, and even by his own people. Venizelos assumes mastery for a brief period over a base born and degenerate people, giving momentary promise of restoring the glory that was Greece, but he soon gave up in despair. The nearest approach to a powerful, enduring leadership is to be found in the great-hearted and resolute Indian prince, Ghandi, who humbled the British empire and brought her to her knees. Taken a captive, held behind prison walls, his strange power swayed his millions of followers as has not been done by any one personage in a century. And why? Because he was, like Garrison, in earnest, he would not equivocate, he would not surrender, and more than all, because his people believed in him. Religious caste, say some, was the secret of his power. If so, then what of the Christian church and its nearly two centuries of civilization? Today it presents the humiliating spectacle of not having within its fold a single outstanding character of great eminence and acknowledged leadership. As a matter of fact, most churchmen of any note are exceedingly apologetic in their interpretation of the scriptures, and the only ones to gain prominence are those who throw themselves open to the charge of heresy. Something more than a decade ago the sermons of Talmadge were read by eager thousands every Monday morning. That they lacked the elements of greatness is to be found in the fact that all are forgotten and hidden beneath the accumulating dust of years, while the Sermon on the Mount is still virile, still a living font, still applicable to man's needs and longings. Beecher, Philip Brooks, Spurgeon and Archbishop Ireland built upon a more enduring foundation. Savanarola and Martin Luther are immortal, but their counterparts are not to be found today. Christianity has not failed; man has failed in his modern interpretation of it and the river of life is being polluted by strange springs of doubt, hypocrisy and commer- calism. It is, however, in the political governments of the world that actual leadership is notably absent. Let us look at home and note what is going on around us. The most abject spectacle offered up for human contemplation today is to be found in the plight of the Republican party in Congress at the present hour. A majority party and yet fighting feebly with its back to the wall, begging succor from a rampant minority. Unable to advance a single piece of legislation helpful to the American people and for which it should assume eminent responsibility. Assailed, abused and cajoled by southern fire-eaters and insurgents, the need of a Blaine, or Conkling, or Sherman, or Ingals, or Wolcott was never more apparent. A tempest in a teapot has been stirred by the Teapot dome mess, and yet not a single charge sustained and not one marring blot attached to a single member of the party or administration. Shades of Sunner, Cullom, Edwards, Frye or Manderson or Plumb. Would they daily sit by numbed in the face of such silly charges without raising a voice of protest and going back of the miserable record and illegal election of Heflin, Harrison, Caraway and other southern senators holding their seats by virtue of disfranchisement of Negro voters? The Republican party needs to find the "way out" and can only do so by developing leaders who will stand for principles, for justice in government, for honesty in policies, and who will not fly to cover at the first charge of a Democratic light brigade. A Bill to Make Department Secretaries Attend Sessions of Congress By SENATOR JAMES COUZENS, of Michigan. IT IS my intention as soon as the opportunity presents itself to request the senate by proper resolution to call before it the secretary of the treasury and to introduce a bill making it mandatory upon the secretaries of several departments to come before congress under proper rules and regulations and thereby avoid a repetition of the conditions that have just been made public. Nothing like this could have gone as far as it has gone if the cabinet members had known they would be obliged to come before the respective houses of congress one or two days a week. When the act of June 4, 1920 (the naval appropriation law), was passed, congress and the executive understood each other as to the purchase of the oil lands, but in 1921 an entirely new administration came in, who, if you give credit for the best of intentions, had no means of knowing congress intended when it passed the act of 1920. All of this correspondence with the secretary of the treasury over tax reduction would have been unnecessary and the whole thing could have been cleared up in a discussion of these questions on the floor of the senate. Rules and regulations of congress could be so drawn as to excuse the heads of departments from answering questions that might be against the public interest and to prevent heckling upon the floor of either house. I hope that the country at large will compel congress to bring before them the administrators of the governmental departments so that those departments may be more closely brought before the public. There are entirely too many social and other barriers between the cabinet officers, heads of boards and commissions, and the general public. The atmosphere at Washington is not conducive to keeping high public officials on the ground so that they may have the interest of the public in mind all the time rather than the interest of special groups who are always represented by social connections or lobbyists. I hope, now that this trail of sliminess has been disclosed, that congress will have sense enough to adopt some business methods for the operation of this government. "The Thing That Impressed Me Most About New York Is Her Elevators" By M. C. A. LE NEVUE, French Commercial Attache. The thing that has impressed me most about New York is her elevators. That's the best advantage she has over the cities of Europe. I'm amazed too, at the number of well-dressed people here. No one is overdressed. You don't see workingmen in rags here as you do in the European cities. As to American women—there are more good-looking women here than in any country in the world and they walk better than the women of any other country. It amazes one to see what good clothes the shop girls in this country wear. Working girls in France do not wear silk stockings. The New York business man knows his job and his eyes and mind are wide open. He is unbiased and he is not big-headed. Nowhere else can one find such progress and such enterprise. But American men, leaders as they are when it comes to business, resign their leadership when in their homes—for there the woman is undoubtedly queen. "All the Nations of Earth Are Busy Preparing for the Next War" By REV. G. A. STUDDERT KENNEDY, Chaplain to King George. To end war? All the nations of the world are busy today preparing for the next war. And if there is another war it will not be like the last war, a slaughter of armies. It will be a destruction of whole peoples, death rained from the air in gases that will destroy every living thing throughout vast tracts. Yet every nation is building higher its tariff wall, increasing its armies, studying the surest way to kill, each nation seeking to profit at the expense of the rest of the world. New little Czechoslovakia is doing this, and we call her upstart; France is doing it, and we call her impudent; we in England are doing it, and it is—er—expedient; you are doing it, and it is—holy! How blind we all are! We must turn again to the Boök that tells us of the law of God: that all men are brothers since He is our Father, and that, if the world is to go on, we must live in peace with our brothers. Question of Federal Appropriation for Subsidy to State Governments By CALVIN COOLIDGE, President United States. I have given much thought to the question of federal subsidies to state governments. Federal appropriations for such subsidies cover a wide field. They afford ample precedent for unlimited expansion. I say to you, however, that the financial program of the Chief Executive does not contemplate expansion of these subsidies. My policy is not predicated alone on the drain which these subsidies make on the national treasury. This of itself is sufficient cause for concern. But I am fearful that this broadening of the field of government activities is detrimental, both to the federal government and the state governments. Efficiency of federal operations is impaired as their scope is enlarged. Efficiency of the state governments is impaired as they relinquish and turn over to the federal government responsibilities which are rightfully theirs. "I Prefer It Because It-Adds to the Amount of Visible Beauty—" By HENRY HOLT, in "Garrulities of an Octogenarian Editor." I consider the shortening of skirts one of the very most important improvements of my time. It marks an intellectual advance as well as a physical one. . . . Next to prohibition and the abandonment of hellfire and a lot of other stuff that people no longer believe—although every Sunday they say they do—the most radical change in my time has been in relation to this feminine form divine. Of course I like the present usage better than the one of my youth, when a woman in bathing wore bloomers and a loose blouse with a skirt to her knees, and generally a poke bonnet to protect her complexion, and looked worse than the devil. I prefer it not only because it adds to the amount of visible beauty in the world and shows more respect for the fitness of things in dress, and for nature generally, but also because it gives the man the chance that the woman has long monopolized of knowing what sort of mate the matrimonial question concerns.

Rahming from the city, there will be only one low mass for commun at 7 o'clock a. m. each Sunday. Church school as usual at 9:45 a. m. and morning prayer at 11 o'clock. On Ash Wednesday, March 5, the first day of Lent, litany and penetential office will be said at 8 o'clock p. m., with a short meditation. During Lent the Station of the Cross with meditations will be said every Friday evening at 8 o'clock. The bishops have asked Mr. Hudston to take charge of the Mission until Father Rahming returns, assisted by the clergy of the Associate Mission. The congregation is requested to show its loyalty to the work of the Redeemer and its sympathy with Father Rahming in his sad bereavement, by a large attendance at every service. Active work on the new Parish house will be taken up when Father Rahming resumes his duties. Though deprived of his earthly helpmeet, he has declared his intention to devote himself still more earnestly to the service of his Master and the extension of His Kingdom in the hearts of men, until the Church of the Holy Redeemer shall become, with His blessing and your help, a praise and a glory in the community. MRS. GRACE B. RAHMING DEAD Beloved Wife of Rector of the Church of the Holy Redeemer Succumbs to Brief Illness. A gloom such as is seldom known to Denver, fell over the entire city Monday evening when word went out that Mrs. Grace Belva Rahming, wife of Father Harry E. Rahming of the Church of the Holy Redeemer, had suddenly passed away after a brief illness of only a few hours. Mrs. Rahming came to Denver three years ago from Providence, R. I., where she had been a sufferer from pulmonary trouble. It was thought the change to a higher altitude would be beneficial to her and, indeed she did show such rapid improvement that a permanent cure was looked for. Last Friday, however, she complained of a slight illness, but it was not until a few moments before the end that her real condition became manifest. During the brief period of her residence in Denver Mrs. Rahming has won a large circle of friends through a naturally sweet charm and personality that was lasting. She entered into all the community activities of her sex and few women have in so short a time assumed so large a part in the social and club life of our city. The funeral service was held at the church at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening. Bishop Ingley, assisted by Fathers Haldeman, Stanley and Schmuck conducted the service, which was beautifully impressive, marked with a simplicity that was in perfect accord with her life. The body was taken to Providence, R. L., at 9:45 p. m. over the Burlington road, accompanied by the sorrowing husband. Father Rahming has the sympathy of the entire community in his deep grief and it is soothing to relate that every Negro minister in Denver surrounded him with comforting aid and prayer. Surviving Mrs. Rahming are her husband, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Edmonds; a brother, Solomon Edmonds, and two sisters. Mrs. Fred Bentley and Leola Edmonds. THE COLORADO STATESMON offers its deepest sympathy to the bereaved relatives, commending them to God's gracious keeping.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Monopoly in Radio Apparatus Charged Sea-Level Channel at Panama Canal Canada Replies to Waterway Proposal Duplicate Liberty Bonds in Existence? WASHINGTON.—The federal trade commission has issued a complaint, charging that a monopoly has been formed in radio apparatus, both domestic and foreign, and that efforts are being made to perpetuate the present control beyond the life of existing patents. The Radio Corporation of America, General Electric company, American Telephone & Telegraph company, Western Electric company, Inc., Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing company, the International Radio Telegraph company, United Fruit company and Wireless Specialty Apparatus company are named as respondents, and are alleged to have violated the law against unfair competition in trade to the prejudice of the general public. In the language of the complainant, "the respondents have combined and conspired for the purpose of, and with the effect of, restraining competition and creating a monopoly in the manufacture, purchase and sale in interstate commerce of" radio devices and apparatus and other electrical devices and apparatus, and in domestic and WAR DEPARTMENT engineers are giving considerable thought to the idea of a sea-level canal without locks at Panama, 1,000 feet wide and 50 feet deep, for which Col. Philippe Bunau-Varilla has been pleading. The proposal is all the more interesting in that it comes from a man who for 40 years has been identified with Panama, and who has been styled the "Father of the Panama Revolution." As an engineer, Colonel Bunau-Varilla knows the canal and its problems in all its technical details. As a diplomat, and the framer with John Hay of the so-called Hay-Bunau-Varilla treaty recognizing the independence of Panama and the rights of the United States in the Canal Zone, he is thoroughly familiar with the strategic and commercial questions involved. His plan provides for the progressive deepening and widening of the present route. Beginning at the highest level, the bottom is to be dredged in stages of five feet at a time, and new locks built to meet the requirements of the lowered water level and to serve until the highest level has been brought down even with the next level. This, in turn, is to be deepened, until at last the entire canal is at sea level and has been broadened sufficiently to permit the free and uninterrupted passage of ships of all sizes THE reply of the Canadian government to Secretary Hughes in the matter of the St. Lawrence river power and deep-waterway scheme includes the following: "My government has had under consideration the note of the secretary of state of the United States transmitted on the 17th day of November last, which refers to an earlier note transmitted on May 22, 1922. "It is observed that the secretary of state in the latter suggests either the immediate conclusion of a treaty looking to the development of the St. Lawrence waterway along the lines recommended by the international joint commission in its report and providing for the constitution of a joint commission, doubtless a special one, charged with the formulation of a complete plan which would be subject to the approval of the two governments, or alternatively the constitution of a joint commission of experts to make preliminary studies and investigations and frame a project of a treaty. The report of the international joint commission, recommended that before any work was gone on with the joint engineering board, whose proposals it generally approved, should be enlarged and that as so en- THE smoldering embers of the bureau of engraving controversy, which first blazed up two years ago with a wholesale dismissal of employees by President Harding, has again been fanned into flames. Charles B. Brewer, Department of Justice attorney, who investigated charges of duplication of government securities, brought the case into the open with the filing of sensational charges against the treasury, and, despite denials by Secretary Mellon and other officials that Brewer's allegations contained merit, Representative La Guardia (Rep., N. Y.) began steps by introducing a resolution to force a congressional inquiry. The charges of Brewer were contained in a copy of a report he had sent previously to President Coolidge and Attorney General Daugherty, and were made public when they were attached as exhibits to an injunction filed here against government officials whom Brewer said were interfering with his inquiry. They set forth that there had been duplications of bonds; that the treasury had suppressed knowledge of them; that treasury officers had thwarted Brewer in his attempts to trans-oceanic radio communication and broadcasting." The complaint cites that to attain the present control alleged the respondents: Acquired collectively patents covering all devices used in all branches of radio, and pooled these rights to manufacture, use and sell radio devices, and then allotted certain of the rights exclusively to certain respondents. Granted to the Radio Corporation of America the exclusive right to sell the devices controlled and required the Radio corporation to restrict its purchases to certain respondents. Restricted the competition of certain respondents in the fields occupied by other respondents. Attempted to restrict the use of apparatus in the radio art manufactured and sold under patents controlled by the respondents. Acquired existing essential equipment for trans-oceanic communication and refused to supply to others necessary equipment for such communication, and also excluded others from the trans-oceanic field by preferential contracts. at all times. In this manner the canal would be made safe in peace and war, he argues. No accidental sinking of a vessel could then obstruct the navigation of the canal, and no damage to the locks could put it out of commission for a sufficient time to interfere with commercial traffic or to prevent the Atlantic and Pacific fleets from joining. The probable need of such an enlarged canal is brought out by the rate of traffic increase during the last decade. To the pertinent question, How much will the new canal cost and who will pay for it? The French engineer makes this answer: He estimates the total cost, spread over a period of 20 years, to be about $1,000,-000,000. It will be needed only in installments. They can be raised without any cost to the taxpayer, inasmuch as the canal already has a surplus of earnings, which will increase with the increasing tonnage. During the last year it earned about $8,000,000 over and above the costs of operation and the interest on the outstanding bonds. This is enough to pay interest on a loan of $200,000,000. With the revenues from each additional 5,000,000 tons' increase in traffic, he estimates, it will be possible to meet the interest on an extra $100,000,000 of bonds for the carrying on of the work of deepening and widening the canal. larged it should further consider the technical aspects of the problem in detail and decide upon the plan which should be adopted. "My government is still considering the suggestions made by the secretary of state of the United States, but considers that, without awaiting a decision upon them, the proposal made by the international joint commission might be acted upon. It is accordingly prepared to appoint additional engineers to enlarge the joint engineering board, with a view of having the board so enlarged prepare a final report covering the engineering features of the whole project, including its cost. "My government would welcome a suggestion from the government of the United States and would also be ready to nominate one or more technical officers to discuss with technical officers of the United States the terms in which they would recommend that the instructions to the enlarged joint engineering board should be couched and the time within which it should be directed to report. "My government trusts that these proposals will receive the favorable consideration of the government of the United States." uncover the condition, and that duplicates of bonds had been destroyed in the treasury. Secretary Mellon, on learning that Brewer's charges had been made public, said that for every bond which has been issued, its face value had found its way into the treasury vaults. He added that there had been duplications of numbers, but there had been no loss to the public or the government. He attributed the duplication of numbers to mechanical errors, which Brewer had said was not the case. Brewer's charges covered a wide range, the main features of which, treasury officials said, had been under investigation and disproved. They included the assertion that a clique swayed the actions of the Treasury department and that J. W. McCarter, former assistant register of the treasury, had complained of being discharged for bringing complaint to the notice of the treasury officials in connection with alleged irregularities. Among the conclusions Brewer drew from his investigation, the report said, was that there are between about 3,000 known pairs of duplicate bonds and about 4,000 pairs of duplicate coupons, with duplicates still coming in. CAPTAINS OF ADVENTURE By ROGER POCOCK Copyright by Bobbs-Merrill Company THE GREAT FILIBUSTER A. D. 1853 William Walker, son of a Scotch banker, was born in Tennessee, cantankerous from the time he was whelped. He never swore or drank, or loved anybody, but was rigidly respectable and pure, believed in negro slavery, bristled with points of etiquette and formality, liked squabbling, had a nasty sharp tongue, and a taste for duelling. The little dry man was by turns a doctor, editor and lawyer, and when he wanted to do anything very outrageous always began by taking counsel's opinion. He wore a black tall-coat and a black wisp of a necktie even when, in 1853, he landed an army of forty-five men to conquer Mexico. His followers were California gold miners dressed in blue shirts, duck trousers, long boots, bowle knives, revolvers and rifles. After he had taken the city of La Paz by assault, called an election and proclaimed himself president of Sonorah, he was joined by two or three hundred more of the same breed from San Francisco. These did not think very much of a leader twenty-eight years old, standing five feet six, and weighing only one hundred thirty pounds, so they merrily conspired to blow him up with gunpowder, and disperse with what plumber they could grab. Mr. Walker shot two, flogged a couple, disarmed the rest without showing any sign of emotion. He could awe the most truculent desperado into abject obedience with one glance of his cool gray eye, and never allowed his men to drink, play cards or swear. "Our government," he wrote, "has been formed upon a firm and sure basis." The Mexicans and Indians thought otherwise, for while the new president of Sonora marched northward, they gathered in hosts and hung like wolves on the rear of the column, cutting off stragglers, who were slowly tortured to death. Twice they dared an actual attack, but Walker's grim strategies, and the awful rifles of despairing men, cut them to pieces. So the march went on through hundreds of miles of blazing hot desert, where the filbusters dropped with thirst, and blew their own brains out rather than be captured. Only thirty-four men were left when they reached the United States boundary, the president of Sonora, in a boot and a shoe, his cabinet in rags, his army and navy bloody, with dried wounds, gaunt, starving, but too terrible for the Mexican forces to molest. The filbusters surrendered to the United States garrison as prisoners of war. Just a year later, with six of these veterans, and forty-eight other Californians, Walker landed on the coast of Nicaragua. This happy republic was blessed at the time with two rival presidents, and the one who got Walker's help very soon had possession of the country. As hero of several brilliant engagements, Walker was made commander-in-chief, and at the next election chosen by the people themselves as president. He had now a thousand Americans in his following, and when the native statesmen and generals proved treacherous, they were promptly shot. Walker's camp of wild desperadoes was like a Sunday school, his government the cleanest ever known in Central America and his dignity all prickles, hard to approach. He depended for existence on the services of Vanderbilt's steamship lines, but seized their warehouse for cheating. He was surrounded by four hostile republics, Costa Rica, San Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, and insulted them all. He suspended diplomatic relations with the United States, demanded for his one schooner-of-war salutes from the British navy, and had no sense of humor whatsoever. Thousands of brave men died for this prim little lawyer and tens of thousands fell by pestilence and battle in his wars, but with all his sweet unselfishness, his purity, and his valor, poor Walker was considerable of a prig. So the malcontents of Nicaragua and the republics from Mexico to Peru joined the steamship company, the United States and Great Britain to wipe out his hapless government. The armies of four republics were closing in on Walker's capital, the city of Granada. He marched out to storm the allies perched on an impregnable volcano, and was carrying his last charge to a victorious issue, when news reached him that Zavala with eight hundred men had jumped on Granada. He forsook his victory and rushed for the capital city. There were only one hundred and fifty invalids and slick in the Granada garrison to man the church, armory and hospital against Zavala, but the women loaded rifles for the wounded and, after twenty-two hours of ghastly carnage, the enemy were thrown out of the city. They fell back to lie in Walker's path as he came to the rescue. Walker saw the trap, carried it with a charge, drove Zavala back into the city, broke him between two fires, then sent a detachment to intercept his flight. In this double battle, fighting eight times his own force, Walker killed half the allied army. But the pressure of several invasions at once was making it impossible for Walker to keep his communication open with the sea while he held his capital. Granada, the most beautiful of all Central American cities, must be abandoned, and, lest the enemy win the place, it must be destroyed. So Walker withdrew his sick men to an island in the big Lake Nicaragua; while Henningsen, an Englishman, his second in command, burned and abandoned the capital. But now, while the city burst into flames, and the smoke went up as from a volcano, the American garrison broke loose, rifled the liquor stores and lay drunk in the blazing streets, so the allied army swooped down, cutting off the retreat to the lake. Henningsen, veteran of the Carlist and Hungarian revolts, a knight errant of lost causes, took three weeks to fight his way three miles, before Walker could cover his embarkment on the lake. There had been four hundred men in the garrison, but only one hundred and fifty answered the roll call in their refuge on the Isle of Omotepe. In the plaza of the capital city they had planted a spear, and on the spear hung a raw-hide with this inscription: In taking that heap of blackened ruins four thousand out of six thousand of the allies perished; but even they were more fortunate than a Costa Rican army of invasion, which killed fifty of the filibusters, at a cost of ten thousand men slain by war and pestilence. It always worked out that the killing of one filibuster cost on the average eight of his adversaries. Four months followed of confused fighting, in which the Americans slowly lost ground, until at last they were besieged in the town of Rivas, melting the church bells for cannon balls, dying at their posts of starvation. The neighboring town of San Jorge was held by two thousand Costa Ricans, and these Walker attempted to dislodge. His final charge was made with fifteen men into the heart of the town. No valor could win against such odds, and the orderly retreat began on Rivas. Two hundred men lay in ambush to take Walker at a planter's house by the wayside, and as he rode wearily at the head of his men they opened fire from cover at a range of fifteen yards. Walker reined in his horse, fired six revolver shots into the windows then rode on quietly erect while the storm of lead raged about him, and saddle after saddle was emptled. A week afterward the allies assaulted Rivas, but left six hundred men dead in the field, so terrific was the fire from the ramparts. It was in these days that a British naval officer came under flag of truce from the coast to treat for Walker's surrender. "I presume, sir," was the fillbuster's greeting, "that you have come to apologize for the outrage offered to my flag and to the commander of the Nicaraguan schooner-of-war Granada?" "If they had another schooner," said the Englishman afterward, "I believe they would have declared war on Great Britain." Then the United States navy treated with this peppery little lawyer, and on the first of May, 1857, he grudgingly consented to being rescued. During his four years' fight for empire, Walker had enlisted three thousand five hundred Americans—and the proportion of wounds was one hundred and thirty-seven for every hundred men. A thousand fell. The allied republics had twenty-one thousand soldiers and ten thousand Indians—and lost fifteen thousand killed. Two years later, Walker set out again with a hundred men to conquer Central America, in defiance of the British and United States squadrons, sent to catch him, and in the teeth of five armed republics. He was captured by the British, shot by Spanish-Americans upon a sea beach in Honduras, and so perished, fearless to the end. Cold Storage Savings Cold storage systems have revolutionized the provision trade and the element of waste deplorable in bygone days has largely been eliminated. In Britain there is something like twenty-five million cubic feet of cold storage space available, and it is said that twenty million eggs and one hundred and fifty thousand tons of meat may be found in cold storage in London alone. But eggs and meat are not the only items which are commonly kept in cold storage for longer or briefer periods. Fabrics of all kinds, furs and silks, are kept there. Then vegetables and flowers are kept in cold storage. Flowers and fruit can be brought from Canada, Australia and New Zealand in refrigerating chambers. Lapland Not a Country Lapland is not a country. It is only a region with indefinite boundaries, spreading into four distinct countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Norway and Sweden have a treaty agreement whereby their nomadic joint citizens may cross from Sweden in summer and move to Norway's northwest coast, and in the winter may cross from Norway to inland Sweden.

Character is power—is influence; it makes friends, creates funds, draws patronage and support and opens an easy way to wealth, honor and happiness. SEASONABLE DISHES This is the season of the year when we are beginning to have the fresh green vegetables spinach, turnips, onions and other greens. # Spinach. Wash spinach until perfectly clean and put to cook with only the water which clings to the leaves. When tender, season well with butter, pepper and salt and serve garnished with eighths of hard-cooked eggs. Scalloped Chicken and Corn.—Use the remnants of cold fowl free from bones and gristle. For each cupful of meat take one cupful of corn and one cupful of cream sauce, then arrange in layers in a buttered baking dish. Cover with buttered crumbs and bake until the crumbs are brown. Sweetbreads a la Newburg.—Parboll a pair of sweetbreads half an hour in water with a bay leaf. Drain, remove the membranes and cut into small dice. Chop fine one-half cupful of mushrooms. Beat three egg yolks, add salt and paprika and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, one tablespoonful of worcestershire sauce and stir until they cream. Put into heated ramekins and serve very hot. Mocha Cakes.—Cream one-third of a cupful of butter with one cupful of sugar and add two well-beaten eggs; add one cupful of strong coffee infusion and one-half teaspoonful of vanilla; then stir in two cupfuls of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and bake in sheets. When cold cut into desired shapes, cover with frosting and roll the sides in coconut. Apples With Pork Roast.—Core, peel and stuff with bread crumbs and raisins finely chopped enough apples to serve each one. Add butter to the bread crumbs and a little spice if desired. Place around the roast and baste while the meat is roasting with the fat from the pan. Mocha Frosting.—Stir two tablespoonfuls of hot coffee into as much powdered sugar as will make it of a consistency to spread. Strong cocoa may be used instead of coffee if desired. Nae shoon, to hide her tiny taes, Nae stockin's on her feet; Her supple ankles white as snaw, Or early blossoms sweet.

If the puffs are made very small they are especial-ly dainty and a pair will be needed for a serving. Apple Charlotte.—Peel and core ten apples and mince them fine. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, add one cupful of sugar, the grated rind of half a lemon and half a teaspoonful of cinnamon. Stew in this stirup until they are soft. Mash fine, add two tablespoonfuls of apricot marmalade and let it cool. Butter a large mold, cut thin strips of bread, dip them in melted butter and line the mold, letting them lap a little. For the bottom lay the strips of bread in the form of a star. Fill the mold with prepared apple, cover with a large slice of buttered bread and bake in a moderate oven forty minutes. "Turn out on a plate and dust with powdered sugar. Spanish Hash.—Chop three or four cold potatoes, a slice of onion and a green pepper. Season with salt, pepper and a dash of mace; bind together with beaten egg and bake in a buttered pan until brown. Serve with macaroni. Apricot and Banana Cream.—Wash and soak one-quarter of a pound of dried apricots. While still hot sweeten to taste; there should be plenty of the srup. Mash and rub through a sieve and when cold add three firm ripe bananas sliced thin. Stir together lightly and serve ice cold with thick cream or whipped cream. Sweet Potatoes, Southern Style. Cook the potatoes in their skins until tender. Peel and cut them in thick slices and lay them into a greased baking dish, sprinkle with sugar, adding bits of butter to each layer. Bake thirty minutes in a slow oven; baste them occasionally. Serve from the dish in which they are baked. Stuffed Onions. Choose the large mild southern onions. Farboil until partly done, remove the centers and stuff with bread crumbs, sausage, chopped hard cooked eggs and seasoning. Top with buttered crumbs. surround with thin cream and bake until tender. Nellie Maxwell KEEP EGGS PROPERLY IN GOOD CONTAINERS Keeping Quality Affected in Various Ways. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) As soon as eggs are brought from the poultry yard or the market, they should be sorted, and any cracked or soiled ones removed for immediate use, advises the United States Department of Agriculture in a new Farmers' Bulletin, 1374, entitled "Care of Food in the Home." The keeping quality of eggs is seriously affected by rough handling, changes in temperature, dampness, dirt on the shells, unclean surroundings, and fertility. Fertile eggs tend to spoil more quickly than those that are infertile, for even room temperature (70 degrees F.) aids the development of the embryo in a fertile egg. Eggs, therefore, are best kept in a covered container in a dry, clean place where the temperature is not above 60 degrees F. All eggs should be washed, but not until just before using, because water removes the protective film on the shell that hinders evaporation, the entrance of bacteria, and the absorption of odors. Preserving eggs for home use in water glass (potassium or sodium silicate) or in lime solution is a good way to care for any surplus when eggs are plentiful. The department will supply information as to how to do this by either method. Fresh, clean, unwashed, infertile eggs should be used for this purpose, and they should not be left in the preservative for more than a year. Eggs preserved in water glass or other solution should be rinsed with water and wiped dry before being opened, but eggs should not be washed before being put into the preservative. If such eggs are cooked in the shell, a small hole should be pricked in the large end before putting them into the hot water; otherwise the shell is likely to crack, for the pores have been sealed by the preserving solution. Comfort of Bed Depends on Making It Properly Do you know how to make a bed so that it looks neat and is comfortable to sleep in? It is an art worth learning, says the United States Department of Agriculture. First, straighten the mattress pad so that it lies smooth and without wrinkles. Over this, spread the under sheet, right side up, with the wide hem at the head and the center of the sheet to the center of the bed. The comfort of a bed depends in a large measure on tucking in the under sheet so securely that it remains smooth and straight. Making mitered corners is one of the best ways of doing this, and any person who has had nurses' training can quickly show you how to make them. Next, put on the upper sheet, right side down and allowing for a generous turnover at the head, tuck it in at the foot, using mitered corners. Then, put on the blankets so that their top edge comes about nine inches below the head of the bed, turn the upper sheet back and tuck in all edges. Last of all, put on the spread, draw it smooth and straight, and arrange the pillows. Good Prune Relish for Fruit relishes, especially those which are spiced or slightly tart, are excellent with roast mutton or lamb, and also very palatable when cold sliced meat is served. Equal parts of raisins and prunes may be used in the recipe below if preferred. The recipe is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. Boll together one cupful of prunes cut in small pieces, one and one-half cupfuls of water, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-eighth teaspoonful of salt and one-half teaspoonful of ground cinnamon until the prunes are soft, then add two tablespoonfuls of currant jelly and the juice of one-fourth lemon while still hot. Let stand until cold. LICIOUS THAN HAM NOTHING MORE DELICIOUS NOTHING MORE DELICIOUS THAN HAM Ham Is Always Appetizing.

THICK SOUP MAY BE MAIN WINTER DISH Department of Agriculture Tells How to Make It. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The French would call it a "potage," and make a supper of it; the Scotch would use barley rather than the other starchy vegetables mentioned, and call it "cockleeekie;" the Armenians would doubtless select rice for the chief filling element; while the Italians would choose spaghetti and several other vegetables and have "minestrone" sup. The United States Department of Agriculture tells how to make it in an American way. Thick soup, which may be served as the main dish at luncheon or supper, may be prepared from the neck, rib ends, shanks and other bony parts of the carcass. Place meat and bones together in a kettle, using water sufficient to cover. Season with salt and two or three cloves and peppercorns. Let simmer until the meat can be easily separated from the bones, then pour through a colander. Set the strained broth aside to cool in order that the fat may be removed easily. Carefully free the meat from the bones and chop it fine. After removing the excess fat from the broth return the latter to the kettle and add any desired combination of chopped carrots, onion, celery turnips, and potatoes which have been previously cooked together either in a little water or in a steam- WHOLE BREAD Preparing Soup for Winter Day. er above the soup kettle; also previously cooked rice, barley, macaroni, or spaghetti may be added if desired. Reheat the soup, add the chopped meat, and serve hot. If dumplings are liked, these may be cooked in the soup just before the meat is added. After the dumplings are done, add the meat. It has already been cooked and will not be improved by further cooking. Dough prepared as for baking-powder biscuit may be rolled out about half an inch thick, cut with a small cutter, and cooked for ten minutes on the top of the boiling soup. The kettle should be kept covered during the entire time of cooking the dumplings. Salad Dressing Recipe Where Oil Is Disliked A good salad dressing for those who do not like oil can be made from sour cream, according to the following recipe furnished by the United States Department of Agriculture. $ \frac{1}{4} $ teaspoonful mustard $ \frac{1}{2} $ tablespoonful sugar $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful salt 1 egg $ \frac{1}{4} $ teaspoonful cupful vinegar paprika 1 cupful sour cream % mustard % sugar ¼ teaspoonful salt 1 egg ¼ teaspoonful cupful vinegar paprika 1 cupful sour cream Beat the egg until very light, add the other ingredients, and cook in a double boiler, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from the fire and beat well. If this dressing is cooked properly, it will have, when cool, a thick, smooth consistency. If it is overcooked, so that there is a tendency to separate, it should be strained before cooling. The Kitchen Cabinet (©. 1924, Western Newspaper Union.)

FEEDING THE CHILD The child of the family being the most important member as to feeding. it is wise to follow the English custom of having a table for the children. Here there is no temptation for them to taste food not good for them, for it is wise to follow the English custom of having a table for the children. Here there is no temptation for them to taste food not good for them, for it is not seen or desired and there is no compromise between what they ought to have and what they want. The result when intelligently fed will be sturdy, healthy youngsters. Not so many American families follow this custom because of indifference, but more because of necessity. In homes where they cannot be fed alone and properly they are too often allowed to eat at the family table where they usually cry and get what they cry for, for the sake of peace and at the sacrifice of health, manners and morals. There are ways where meals may be simplified so that the children may be served at the same time without harm. One may restrict the diet of the adults to conform to the food needed for the children, having dinner at noon or letting the little people have a simple supper by themselves earlier in the evening than the dinner hour. Children under five years of age should be given food easy of digestion, avoiding rich food of all kinds, pastries and cakes, except sponge. No rich puddings or sauces and very little meat, and that at long intervals. Fortunately the child who has not been pampered and is in good health does not desire a variety of food. Good cooked cereals, toast, eggs, plenty of milk and fresh fruits, stewed prunes, orange juice every day with potatoes cooked in various ways and chicken once in a while, will be enough variety for any normal child. One must remember that a growing child needs plenty of food, to build the body and supply heat and energy, too, for his active body. A child's digestion is more active than an adult's and it is able to take an extra meal or two daily without trouble. A light luncheon in the morning and afternoon, if only a glass of milk or a slice of bread and butter, will be found quite necessary to keep the little active body growing properly. The year's at the spring; The day's at the morn; Morning's at seven; The hillside's dew-pearled; The lark's on the wing; The snail's on the thorn; God's in his heaven— All's right with the world! —Robert Browning. A good breakfast dish for any whi- ter morning may be made as follows: Get a shank bone with plenty of meat, adding the chopped marrow; cook all until the meat drops from the bones. Let stand after cook- ing until the next Get a shank bone with plenty of meat, adding the chopped marrow; cook all until the meat drops from the bones. Let stand after cooking until the next day, then chop the meat fine. There should be three or four cupfuls of the broth. In this broth cook oatmeal, adding enough to make a thick mixture to mold. Cook until the oatmeal is well cooked, then add the chopped meat, season well and mold. Season with onion, celery salt or any desired seasoning. When cold cut into slices and fry. One may use cornmeal for this mixture making the scrapple which is so well liked. **Stuffed Peppers.**—If there should be a small chop of lamb or pork left with not enough meat to serve the family otherwise, add a cupful of bread crumbs well-buttered to the meat after putting it through a meat grinder, a bit of chopped onion and the trimmings from the top of peppers which have been prepared to stuff. Parboll the pepper shells after removing the white fiber and seeds and place them in greased gem pans. Fill with the stuffing, add any bits of vegetable like a spoonful or two of peas, a few chopped nuts, a little peanut butter, or any good tasty food; even a small amount of cooked oatmeal will add to the toast ensemble. Bake until the peppers are thoroughly hot, then serve. Scalloped Potatoes.—Cut a peeled onion into very thin slices and then into quarters. Melt three tablespoonfuls of fat, add the onion and cook very slowly on the back part of the range until softened, stirring occasionally. Slice a layer of potatoes into a buttered dish holding a quart. Sprinkle with onion, salt, pepper and parsley—continue until the dish is full; add milk or broth from leftover roasts until it can be seen through the potatoes. Bake until the potatoes are soft, then serve from the dish. Codfish a la Mode.—Take one cupful of shredded codfish, two cupfuls of mashed potato well seasoned, a pint of milk, two beaten eggs, one-half cupful of softened butter, salt and red pepper to taste. Bake in a buttered dish twenty minutes.

Pretty Brocks for Girls; Ribbons Put To Many Uses THE designers of children's clothes are not concerning themselves with bringing out styles or using fabrics that are startlingly new. Keeping in mind that the mode, in all directions, is conservative and approves simplicity (insisting upon it in children's clothes) their efforts are concentrated on original finishing touches and on making clothes that are practical and pretty—they use well-known fabrics and accepted styles. The new displays in the shops are confined mostly to fabrics we have been familiar with always. In cottons, gingham, chambray, percale, volles and heavier plain weaves, overshadow the novelties. Now is a favorable time to dispose L A A girl and a boy in a dress. of spring sewing for the young folks. Lent is nearing and a late Easter gives time to get the work out of the way before spring lures everyone out of doors. For little girls many dresses are made of plain chambers, cut on the simplest lines, or of gingham in small checks. Sometimes they have short yokes and set-in sleeves, but just as often they are even simpler. Round collars and plain cuffs—or bands—of white lawn, provide the usual finish for neck and sleeves, but on the checked ginghams plain chambers, to match in color, is often used instead. Even these accessories are left out no intention of adorned by furreys of pretty, frivolous sents all sorts of bands and innu for both outer are made of ribbon.

Hems on the sleeves and skirt are headed with a line of fancy stitching, as cat or feather stitching, the slit pockets are edged with buttonhole stitch and cross stitching makes the small baskets on the front of the frock that so pleases the little wearer.

Western New --- For girls from eight to twelve nothing makes a prettier dress-up frock than taffeta silk. In the darker colors it is very useful and in lighter colors it is the ideal party frock. A pretty model is shown at the right of the illustration. Neck and sleeves are finished with piping and narrow valce and the skirt has a tucked panel at each side. A pretty rosette of taffeta, edged with lace, is centered with a cluster of tiny rosebuds and this frock satisfies the sense of appropriate dress for one of the buds in the rosebud garden of girls. The mode may dictate the utmost simplicity in frocks for the coming season, and even extend this mandate to cover evening dress, but it has A no intention of leaving beauty unadorned by furbelows. Just by way of pretty, frivolous touches, it presents all sorts of scarfs, girdles, headbands and innumerable belongings, for both outer and underwear, that are made of ribbons. A head band and a scarf of wide ribbon are shown here which will bring distinction to the most unassuming of evening frocks. Narrow ribbons in brilliant metallic weaves usually serves to make the flower motifs applied to head bands even when the bands themselves are of silver or gold ribbon. Silk in all colors, woven in with the tinsel threads, make innumer X able color combinations so that headbands are endlessly varied. Next to the headband the ribbon girdle or sash is the one item of most importance as an accessory to the evening or afternoon frock which without it might pass almost unnoticed. There is another realm in which women delight to honor ribbons, and that is in many small furnishings and conveniences in their homes. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1924.
