BOY IS WALTER WHITE LAUDS NEGROES ON BENCH ROW MARY MAY United Action of Group in Opposing John J. Parker Cited NEW YORK-Returned from a speaking tour, which included visits to prominent Senators and political leaders in Washington, Walter White, Acting Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People reports the consensus of opinion to be that as a consequence of the defeat of Judge Parker's nomination to the U. S. Supreme Court, the Negro's star is in the ascendent. Among those who will witness the 500-mile automobile races at the Indianapolis speedway this year will be Miss Harriett M. Dwyer, of East Chicago. Miss Dwyer is a teacher in the schools of Robbins, Ill. "Both from the way in which the Senators in Washington received me as a representative of the N. A. A. C. P." said Mr. White, "and from what I learned in conversation with the best informed newspaper correspondents, I can say that the Negro's star, politically, and on a national scale, is in the ascendent. One well informed newspaper correspondent with whom I carefully went over the situation, informed me that eleven Senators at least, had been affected in their vote on Judge Parker's nomination, by their Negro constituents. School Problem Is Acute One, Parts of Chicago Is Revealed "Now a word of warning to the colored people. This warning comes direct from Washington. The colored citizens of America have staged a major demonstration. But the job is well and thoroughly begun, it is not ended. It will not be ended until some of those Senators who defied their colored constituents and voted for Judge Parker have been decisively defeated when they come up for reelection. CHICAGO—"The restriction of property in Woodlawn is over 90 per cent complete," says a letter of the Woodlawn Property Owner's association, signed by Fred L. Helman, secretary, "and by continuing our work we can finish 100 per cent and until it is all signed up some agency must remain active to look after the situation." "The politicians are awake to the Negro vote and its possibilities. But that possibility must be translated into fact. If Negro voters fail to do what they have said they would do, then in the future the political leaders will ignore them or give them only minor consideration. So it remains to finish and to finish decisively, the job which was begun when the Senate voted 41 to 39 against Judge Parker. A copy of this letter has fallen into good hands, those of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which is mightily interested in further statements in it, indicating that an effort is to be made to procure the establishment in Chicago of Jim Crow schools. The letter in the hands of the N. A. A. C. P. goes on: "Let the colored voters throughout the country make a note of how their Senators voted on that issue. Let them keep that note ever before them. The N. A. A. C. P. memory in the Parker case reached back ten years to a political speech Judge Parker made in 1920, and on the basis of the N. A. A. C. P. memory Judge Parker was defeated. Let the memory of colored voters keep alive the vote of their senators until each senator comes up for reelection. "The school problem is a very bad one at the present time due to the great number of colored children going to the Hyde Park High School and the Sexton School at 60th and Champlain Avenue. The property owners near the Sexton School have restricted their property to white people and they are now finding it hard to get tenants with children who have to be sent to school along with the Negroes. Our restriction of course cannot keep the colored children out of the school and we are taking the necessary steps to see if we can bring about a change in this condition. If your tenants do not mind sending their children to school with Negroes and if you do not mind seeing the colored school children passing through the white district on their way to school then you do not need the help of our organization. But if you are not satisfied with these conditions, join with the other members in your community and try to help yourselves. Our membership fee is twenty cents per front foot." "Then let the colored vote register. If anyone forgets, let him ask the N. A. A. C. P. The N. A. A. C. P. memory will not fail. The records will be kept. They are available to anyone who inquires. Remember, let us finish the job of establishing the Negro's full citizenship rights throughout the United States. That is one of the sure ways to end lynching, peonage, race riots, and Jim Crow discrimination of all kinds." NEW LINCOLN GARDEN OPENS The New Lincoln Garden which opens Decoration day, at 1801 Washington Street, has promise of being one of the finest night clubs between here and Chicago. To which the N. A. A. C. P. adds that membership in the N. A. A. C. P is one dollar up." and better put that front foot forward! The management has spared no expense, and left no stone unturned to give to colored Gary the best in night club entertainment, importing from Chicago, Forrest Dixon, and his Lincoln Garden orchestra. OPEN NEW HAND LAUNDRY HERE The only colored hand laundry in Gary was opened this week at 10 East 19th Avenue, by Tracey Smith. The floor show is entitled "Chicago Flashes" with such stars as Yvonne Fuller, soubrete, Olivia Dixon, prima donna, the imitable George Edwards, radio artist of W G N, Ernest Randell, and Robert Bell, Hot Shots, and Velma Wiggins, and a bevy of 10 beautiful maids. Mr. Smith, who is 24 years of age, has biven to colored Gary one of the finest hand laundries available in Lake county. The laundry is well equipped having one of the Horton mangles. This new addition to colored Gary will prove a boon to bachelors and wives who are so busy they do not have time to mend their husband's clothes, and according to Mr. Smith, there is no extra charges for mending. The yodeling Kid Brown, is master of ceremonies, and aside from the best talent available, choice foods will be served. The cabaret has been beautifully decorated for the opening. Tracey Smith is a young man of progressive ideas. For the past two years he has been proprietor of the Central cleaners, 12 East 19th avenue, and with the addition of the hand laundry, Smith now employs five people, two in the laundry, two in the cleaning establishment and one as delivery truck driver.

Burghardt Du Bois, editor of the Crisis and distinguished Negro scholar, will deliver the commencement address at Howard University at 3:30 June 6 as indicated by the announcement of events now being sent out by the university. The program provides for Senior College Prom on Saturday, with Baccalaureate sermon in the university gymnasium at 4 p.m. June 1. The sermon will be preached by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of the university. Music will be furnished by the university choir. On Monday, June 2 there will be R. O. T.

HUGE CROWD TO ATTEND RACE Attracted by the different type of race cars that will make their bow this year and the fact that forty cars, or seven more than in previous years, will start, more car owners than ever before from Chicago and vicinity are expected to motor to Indianapolis to witness the running of the 500-mile American Grand Prix classic on Memorial Day, May 30. The highways to Indianapolis are in fine condition, according to the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor Club, which suggested three optional routes. The shortest route, 189.7 miles, is via US 41 to the intersection with US52, southeast of Earl Park, and US 52 into Indianapolis. There is a three-mile gravel runaround between Morocco and Kentland which is good when dry or moderately wet. US 41 is marked out of Chicago via Michigan avenue. Thirty-third street, Burley avenue, Eighty-seventh street, Mackinaw avenue, Ewing avenue and Indianapolis boulevard. The second route suggested is 219 miles in length, but will probably carry less traffic. It follows US 41 out of Chicago, as described above, to Dyer, where a left turn is made onto US 30. US 30 should be followed to Plymouth, where US 31 should be picked up and followed to Indianapolis. IMPROVE ROADS THRU OUT U. S. Highway construction throughout the country for this year has been increased more than 100 per cent over 1929, according to Chas. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club, who based his statement on the recent reports from thirty-five governors to Secretary of Commerce Robert P. Lamont. "Those governors declared that contracts for highway improvements awarded within the first three months of this year totaled $114,101,383, as compared with $50,910,133 for the same period last year, or an increase of more than 124 per cent," said Mr. Hayes.

SUPREME COURT CASE WON BY NEGRO LAWYERS Successful Controversy Is Brought To Close by Both Counsel NEW YORK—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has again won a victory before the United States Supreme Court on the issue of residential segregation ordinances, this case arising in Richmond, Virginia, and being the third consecutive victory on this issue to have been won before the highest tribunal by the N. A. A. C. P. It makes the sixth victory on all issues won in the Supreme Court to date by the association. The case, which originated in an ordinance barring all persons from living in a neighborhood mainly inhabited by members of a racial group with whom they might not intermarry under the terms of the Virginia Racial Integrity Act, was won on the basis of the Louisville Segregation case of 1917 and the Louisiana Segregation case of 1927, in which the Supreme Court held such ordinances unconstitutional. Messrs. Cohen and Pollard of Richmond were retained as counsel by the local citizens' committee headed by Dr. Leon A. Reid. Messrs. Arthur B. Spingarn, Vice President of the N. A. A. C.P. and Chairman of its National Legal Committee, and James Marshall, son of Louis Marshall, and a member of the N. A. A. C. P. Legal Committee, both were of counsel in the case. All the briefs in the case were carefully supervised by the N. A. A. C. P. attorneys. The test case was fought by J. B Deans, and was won before Judge Groner, being appealed twice by Virginia authorities until it reached the U. S. Supreme Court. America's "Boy Friend" is back!

NEW YORK-For the first time in the history of Louisiana courts, and probably many other far southern states, a Negro has been aquitted, at Monroe, of a rape charge which usually brings a brutal lynching without any trial whatever. This report comes to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue from Hugh T. Layne, white attorney retained in the case by the Monroe branch of the N. A. A. C. P. under the presidency of C. H. Myers, the National Office contributing $125.00 toward the expense of the legal battle. Mr. Layne writes to the N. A. A. C. P.: "It was one of the hardest fought legal battles Louisiana has ever known, the result of which was an acquittal, the first verdict of its kind in such a case, that has ever been rendered in a Louisiana court, and in so far as I can learn, the first of its kind in many states in the South. "The handling of the case was a delicate proposition, and one had to know just, how far to go and to stop, and it took all the adritness that could be marshalled in the premises. "It is one case of fair play for the colored race and so unusual. I feel that the precedent has been established, to a degree, that from now on juries will be greatly affected and guided by this decision, for it is most well circulated and known here in the South even in this short period." The colored man, Jack Rose, defended and acquitted in this case is generally thought to have been "framed." Mr. Layne, after accepting the case and investigating, expressed his strong belief that the colored man was entirely innocent a belief which the jury later shared. The victory in this case is hailed as the more epocaly by the N. A. A. C. P., inasmuch as that part of Louisiana has been notorious for its evil treatment of colored people and has been a headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan. Mer Rouge, about twenty miles from Monroe, was the scene of terrible murders some years ago. (Continued on Page Two) Special Committee to Report on Ways to Save Wild Life A special committee of the United States Senate has been appointed to investigate all matters pertaining to the replacement and conservation of wild life (including aquatic and bird life) with a view to determining the most appropriate methods for carrying out such purposes, together with its recommendations for the necessary legislation. The committee has been instructed to report its findings to the Senate as soon as possible and not later than the beginning of the frist regular session of the next Congress. It has been given full power to call witnesses and take testimony under oath and also to call for the production of all data in connection with the subject. This action by the senate is the broadest and most comprehensive yet taken to conserve the birds, fish and wild animals of our nation. The activities of the committee will necessarily cover a vast range of subjects, including federal game reservations, bird sanctuaries, wild life in our national parks and forests, the problem of migratory birds, of upland birds, of predatory animals and of fishes of the Atlantic, Pacific, gulf and inland waters. The study will also have to deal with the seal industry, the fish industry, the fur industry and all others connected with wild animal, aquatic and bird life. The plan of the committee is to make an exhaustive study of all of these problems and of the laws connected with them. To do this they will call upon the Biological Survey and the commissioners of bird sanctuaries and game reservations of the Department of Agriculture; the Bureau of Fisheries of the Department of Commerce; the national parks and national monuments of the Department of the Interior; the state departments of game and fisheries and all national organizations in any way connected with the subject. This is a research work of very large proportions and will probably require a year or more to assemble, classify and digest the facts. After all recommendations from governmental, individual and private sources have been assembled and studied, it is the intention of the commission to recommend to the United States Senate any changes or additions that they consider necessary in or to existing laws pertaining to conservation. The committee is strictly nonpartisan. In the appointment of it, Vice President Curtis chose not only those senators whom he considered best qualified, but he also endeavored to distribute his selection geographically. The Pacific states, the Atlantic states, the mountainous states, the Central and Southern states, and those adjacent to the Canadian border are all represented. Senator Frederic C. Walcott is chairman. He was for seven years president of the Connecticut State Board of Fish and Game and was chairman of the State Water Commission. He has been a leader for many years in investigations having to do with the conservation and preservation of game in various parts of the country. Senator Harry B. Hawes, vicechairman, has been a widely known authority on fish and game for twenty-five years. He is the author of the Upper Mississippi Wild Life, Fish and Game Refuge Bill, which was the first constructive measure involving the direct expenditure of government money for reclamation and conservation of the waters of the Upper Mississippi River. He is also the author of various other bills relating to the preservation of fish and game and is a member representing the Senate on the Migratory Bird Commission. As a member of Congress he was spokesman for the Izaak Walton League. Senators Hawes and Walcott are the authors of the present bill on wild life resources. The other members of the committee are as follows: Senator Key Pittman, who is now beginning his 18th year in the United States Senate, has been identified with national legislation in relation to fish and game conservation throughout his career. Part of his early life was spent in Alaska where he took prominent part in the gold rush as prosecuting attorney at Nome. He is thoroughly familiar with the national park, national forest and game sanctuaries of America. EYE-WITNESSES DECLARE YOUTH SHOT BY GARY COP, LEFT TO DIE Hair - Trigger Patrolman Charged With the Wanton Shooting of 17-Year-Old Boy Who Only "Talked Back to Him" Independent Investigation Conducted by The Gary American Reveals That Policeman Shot Without Provocation How a Gary policeman deliberately shot and painfully wounded a 17-year-old colored boy, and walked away and left him to die on the sidewalk was told exclusively to The Gary American today by eye-witnesses of the incident. The officer who did the shooting is Patrolman Frank Harrington, who has been on the police force just about three months, but who has already established a city-wide reputation as a man who likes to pull his gun out, and Looking Back Old Files of Gary American Reveal Many Interesting Things Which Happened FROM THE GARY AMERICAN OF JUNE 22, 1928 Because he resented the attention that another man showered upon his pretty and wayward wife, Samuel White, 50 years of age, was shot and killed in an argument late Sunday afternoon by Charles Bryant, 42 years of age, 1649 Monroe whom police are holding today upon a charge of first degree murder.

Many residents of Gary know Officer Harrington as a man who is always making unnecessary display of his revolver. About a month ago, he created a furore all over Gary when he arrested Mrs. Alicia Moore Riley and her brother, Tollie Moore, pulled out his revolver and threatened to shoot them if they dared talk back to him. Boy Shot Without Cause According to sworn statements given The Gary American today by five persons who saw the shooting from a distance of not more than fifty feet, Patrolman Harrington, in company with Patrolman Van Johnson, tried to break up a fight between a group of boys at Twenty-third and Broadway. All of the boys were ordered to go home, but Randolph Corbin, 17, 1525 Jackson, was a little more stubborn than the rest. When Corbin refused to move, Patrolman Harrington is alleged to have struck him with a black jack, cursing him at the same time and holding his revolver drawn on the youth. Corbin pleaded with the officer and asked him not to hit him with the black jack, backing away out of reach of the officer's club and throwing up his arms to shield his face and head from the impending blows. "If you move another step," Patrolman Harrington told Corbin, "I'll blow out your damned brains." At this point, Patrolman Harrington struck at Corbin again with his night stick. The youth ducked threw up both his hands in the air. Harrington then is said to have levelled his gun at the boy, and fired the shot which entered his lip and emerged near the right ear. Throwing his hands up to his face, Corbin sank to the sidewalk and cried: "Oh Lord," but both Harrington and Johnson, according to witnesses, walked away, and left him lying on the sidewalk. A passing motorist came to the boy's rescue and carried him to St. John's hospital in an automobile, where it is said he will recover. According to witnesses, Corbin had both hands in the air when Harrington shot him, standing not more than five feet from the youth at the time. The boy was unarmed, carried nothing more than a small pen knife. Corbin is one of the two sons of a widowed mother, Mrs. Betty Corbin, 1515 Jackson street, and has never been arrested for any violation of the law. An independent investigation conducted by The Gary American since the shooting has revealed many discrepancies between the report Patrolman Harrington turned in at the police station and the reports made by residents living in the vicinity of the shooting who were eyewitnesses to the affair. According to the report Harrington turned in to Detective Sergeant Caine, a fight between eight boys started at the corner of Twenty-third and Broadway. Harrington declares that he and Patrolman Johnson were attracted to the scene, and ordered the boys to go home, but that Corbin "did not care about the officers," he said: "To hell with the officers," and had his hand in his pocket and struck at Officer Harrington, and then Harrington shot. This story is emphatically denied by the five persons who informed The Gary American of the true facts as given above. They declare the boy was shot in cold blood, without provocation and without cause, by an officer who has several times before pulled out his revolver and threatened to shoot people who talked back to him. So long as Harrington remains on the police force, it is pointed out, he is a menace to the lives and safety of the people of the community. M. A. B.

LOOK TO THE FUTURE in an age of many issues. Practically, it has bred a multitude of disputes and here, the fact that the American president favor of strict oil conservation is that practical action to effect this is led to the well-being of future generations of the Lowell, Massachusetts, town. It would be a public benefaction if the six restrictions to the point which our nation be continued as the storage reserve is not immediately need." Operation, of course, would benefit the state of secondary importance. The medium is twentieth-century gold. "Uses it automatically becomes an industry have been singularly blessed in the magnificent resources. But that is no excuse for reproduction is an economic crime and the industry's sake, or the sake of it, but for the sake of the America of the which eliminates waste, must be ac We live in an age of many issues. Practically every major problem has bred a multitude of disputes and disagreements. Therefore, the fact that the American press in overwhelmingly in favor of strict oil conservation is interesting as proof that practical action to effect this is vital to our progress and to the well-being of future generations. In the words of the Lowell, Massachusetts, Courier Citizen "It would be a public benefaction if the sinking of oil wells were restricted to the point which our needs dictate, and the earth be continued as the storage reservoir for that which we do not immediately need." Conservation, of course, would benefit the oil industry. But that is of secondary importance. The main thing is that petroleum is twentieth-century gold. The country which possesses it automatically becomes an industrial world leader. We have been singularly blessed in the magnitude of our petroleum resources. But that is no excuse for wasting them. Overproduction is an economic crime and a menace to progress. Not for the industry's sake, or the sake of the present generation, but for the sake of the America of tomorrow oil conservation which eliminates waste, must be achieved. CAUSING CRIME National Crime Commission has suggested commission be formed in every country of enforcing laws with reference to a sound suggestion. The law cannot trade or remodel public habits. Those state such "cures" as, for instance, as which would seek to impose exactly on communities thousands of miles apart, present problems to cope with, have to be logic. But thing State and Federal government sentencing crime would be not to pass me, but the unenforceable, unnecessary law that now infest the land. Apparent from "creating" criminals, has been a process of law with technicalities that dispensation of justice to criminals is. American cities have more major cities great European countries. Part of criminal alliances, part to the active sisters, part to incompetent police systems that a leading cause has been out practical or unenforceable laws. The National Crime Comission has suggested that a local crime commission be formed in every community, for the purpose of enforcing laws with reference to local conditions. This is a sound suggestion. The law cannot change the public attitude or remodel public habits. Those reformers who advocate such "cures" as, for instance, a Federal revolver law which would seek to impose exactly the same restrictions on communities thousands of miles apart, with entirely different problems to cope with, have too much zeal and too little logic. The best thing State and Federal government could do toward preventing crime would be not to pass more laws but to weed out the unenforceable, unnecessary and burdensome laws that now infest the land. Apparently their sole result aside from "creating" criminals, has been to so burden the process of law with technicalities that intelligent and swift dispensation of justice to criminals is impossible. Single American cities have more major crime than many of the great European countries. Part of this is due to political-criminal alliances, part to the activities of misguided sob sisters, part to incompetent police systems. But it is probable that a leading cause has been our mania for passing impractical or unenforceable laws. THE GREATEST FIRE MENACE sonist is an acknowledged enemy of fire, to a large degree, controlled by authorities of the nation. Greater menace is presented by those who might be termed "unconscious" have not started fires. But may make risks that may produce conflagration careless in disposing of cigarettes. The arsonist is an acknowledged enemy of society. But arson can be, to a large degree, controlled by the judicial and police authorities of the nation. A far greater menace is presented by those millions of Americans who might be termed "unconscious arsonists." All of them have not started fires. But many of them knowingly take risks that may produce conflagrations. The list of offenses could be continued for pages. None of them are illegal. None of these people purposely start fires. Their faults are carelessness and ignorance. Mainly because of them, thousands of lives and millions of dollars worth of property are destroyed yearly. Workers are thrown out of employment. Factories are shut down. And the result is a blot on our record of prosperity and progress. If each citizen would resolve to do away with the everyday fire risks existing in his home, garage and place of business, the fire menace would be conquered. Meet--- These Values!

B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Advertising Representatives MOSHE ```markdown ``` THE BASUTOS of South Africa enjoy the reputation of being the only dark-skinned people in the world to defeat a British army and remain unbeaten. The credit is due to Moshesh, their king, one of the ablest generals and shrewdest statesmen of all time. After defeating one of England's best generals on the field, he turned, and almost in the same breath outwitted him in intelligence in an instance that has since become famous. Whether in war or in diplomacy Moshesh was more than a match for any combination of his opponents, white or black. He played his white opponents one against the other and defeated them. As to the black allies of the white men, he ate them up as a tiger would a cat. No member of the darker races in their struggle for survival against the white has covered himself with greater glory. "Those who did not fall by those weapons were hurled to death on the awful crags below." By J. A. ROGERS The Gary American ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 31, 1930 Built Own Nation Born about 1790 the son of a captain in an insignificant tribe. Moshesh at an early age showed his genius as a master of men. At that time Tchaka, Zulu king and one of the greatest conquerors the world has ever seen, was devastating South Africa. Moshesh's tribe fled to the mountains where other fugitives joined them. Moshesh received them hospitably, and from the wreck of these petty nations, built up the powerful Basuto nation. Basutoland is very mountainous It is called the Switzerland or South Africa. Its climate and air are unexcelled; and the land is fertile and especially fine for grain and the raising of horses and cattle. Selecting a broad, flat table and known as Thaba Bosigo 5000 feet A Master of Strategy, He Humbled the British and Routed the Boers The story of Moshesh is one of the most dramatic and interesting of the "Great Negroes" series now being contributed by Mr. Rogers. The career of this black genius is a large part of the history of the great continent of Africa. Moshesh defied the most powerful dynasties of Europe to save his people from cruel and inhuman domination by unscrupulous tyrants. The story is too amazingly alive to escape the attention of Illustrated Feature Section readers. above sea-level, Moshesh established his capital there, and fortified and strengthened it. From that height he looked down on his neighbors like a great baron of the feudal ages. Under him were a rich, healthy and contented people. Not even the Zulus excelled the Basutos in physique, skill, and warlike daring. As to norsemanship they would gallop down steep inclines on their sure-footed ponies or pick their way through the rocks and mountain-passes without saddle o. bridle. What the Indian was to North America, that is the Basuto to South Africa. Attacked by the Boers But Moshesh was not to enjoy his splendid isolation for long. The Boers of Cape Colony, pressed by the British, began their great trek of 1836, and coming into territory that belonged to him or his subject tribes, founded the Orange Free State now Orange River Colony. As to the real ownership, the Boers gave little or no thought to that. Were they not Christians and white men, while the Basutos were only black men and heathen? Besides had they not rifles and artillery while the Negroes had only spears? Nevertheless, the Boers were soon to feel the might of Moshesh for sending his impetuous horsemen into the plains he would raid their farms and drive off their cattle to increase his own herds. For six years he kept this up with success for the Boers simply could not reach him. Even artillery proved useless against the rocks he would send thundering down on their heads. Lucky it was for him he had built his home on that dizzy height. True Stories Achievement Stories feature Section were posed.ials unless so captioned. BEN DAVIS, Jr. Feature Editor N AFRICA Master of Strat- v, He Humbled the British and Routed the Boers In 1843 the British found it to their interests to make a treaty with him, and the Boers, coming soon after under the protection of England also had the governor of Cape Colony, Sir Harry Smith, to arrange a treaty of peace with him for them. To this treaty, Moshesh readily placed his mark. But in doing so he had decided that he was going to keep his word only so far as his own interests could be served. The wily black monarch saw that it was to be a three-cornered battle of wits. Boers and British were fighting each other for supremacy. but at bottom both being white men, were opposed to him, and when it served their purpose would unite against him. In fact, at the signing of the treaty, Moshesh had seemed more amused than anything else at the antics of Sir Harry Smith, who snored one minute and wept the next. This was the governor's way of illustrating to the Basutos what would happen if the treaty was made or not made. The snoring signified the sleep of peace; the weeping, the loss of loved ones in war. Brought Religion Contact with the white man had also taught Moshesh a very valuable lesson. He learnt the important part that religion played in the white man's politics. To beat an enemy it is sometimes necessary to use his own tactics. Moshesh decided to have religion, too, the white man's religion, and sent a white friend of his 6000 head of cattle to bring him a missionary. Besides, he reasoned, that once his people had become Christians the Boers and British could not so easily justify their conduct against him. The missionaries came, and he gave them a settlement at the foot of his fortress. He ordered his people to follow their teachings, and seeing the ravages that alcohol had wrought among the other natives, gave strict orders that none of it was to be brought into his country. Of course, after their warm welcome, the missionaries published the most glowing reports about him and his people, considerably strengthening his prestige and good name in Europe. This naturally made the Boers angry against the missionaries, and later led to their destroying one or two of their missions. This, of course, made the missionaries all the more partial to Moshesh and his people. Mosheh. a Pagan But as to religion, Moshesh, himself, although he used to quote Bible texts as frequently as any of those who were hungering for his land, remained a pagan. Indeed, towards the end of his life, his veneer of Christianity quite left him. His aim through all was to preserve the integrity of his kingdom and he felt that the means justified the end. To strengthen his position the crafty black king did not select missionaries from one white nation but from three, English, French and Swiss. Knowing that the white men, treaty or no treaty, meant to oust him sooner or later as they had done other tribes, he meant to beat them at their game. Soon after Sir Harry Smith had left. Moshesh began his nostilities against the Boers, taking care first, to keep the British engaged in their own region by intriguing with tribes near them. One Zulu chief was planning a raid into British territory and he sent him aid In the raids that followed, Moshesh took 10,000 cattle and 2,500 horses from the Boers. The British and Boers uniting, sent an expedition against him, headed by Major Warden. Attacking one of the Basuto Continued on Page Two MOSHESH, THE SCOURGE OF SOUTH AFRICA % Continued from Page One chiefs, named Molitsane, at Jiervoct, the allies were signally defeated. The battle was fought on an extensive flat-topped mountain, edged with perpendicular rocks. The Basutos, having killed a great number of their foes, drove the rest near the brink of the precipice. There a desperate struggle took place, the assegai, the battle-axe, and the rifle making frightful execution. Those who did not fall by those weapons were hurled to death on the awful crags below. At the same time, the British artillery supported by the Cape Mounted Rifles, and a large body of natives were repulsed and forced to retreat in great confusion. A Master of Strategy After this victory, Moshesh, who had been keeping the bulk of his warriors in check, now unleashed them and the farms and flocks of the Boers were harried with greater vigor than ever. At last, General Sir George Cathcart, governor of Cape Colony, with an army of 3,000 picked white regulars wit. artillery, and a large body of natives started for Basutoland. The governor had also armed native tribes, hostile to Moshesh, among the number being Sikonyela, chief of the Batlokuas and bitterest foe of Moshesh. Arriving on the border of Basutoland, General Cathcart sent a despatch to Moshesh, reproaching him for alleged lawlessness and thefts, and ordering the immediate handing over of 10,000 head of cattle. Moshesh, whose quarrel was rather with the Boers, sent a most pacific reply, and 3,000 head of cattle. As to the rest he asked for time to get them together. General Cathcart, with an expensive and highly trained army in the field, would listen to no delay and marched on Thaba Bosigo. Arriving at Berea, he saw an enormous herd of cattle feeding on the mountain side, and dividing his force into three parts, he sent one to round them up, while he himself took the road that led to the heights. Little did he realize that the cattle there, tended by women and a few old men, was a trap that the shrewd Moshesh had set for him. Indeed, the British soldiers in coming into Basutoland had regarded it as something of a lark. General Cathcart took no pains to learn their real strength.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 31.1930 that Poultney Bigelow wrote a few years later: "The Basuto, before he enters the ranks, is a better fighting man than the average European soldier after three years of drilling, for, as a recruit, he is already an accomplished horseman, an excellent marksman, and familiar with the duties of a scout." (White Men's Africa). The British Trapped General Cathcart, as was said, sent one of his divisions after the cattle on the hill. The soldiers rounded up 4,000 of them and were driving them down the mountain through the narrow pass when 800 Basuto cavalrymen, seeming to spring from nowhere threw themselves at the enemy. In the confusion that followed the British soldiers, inextricably MOSHESH MOSHESH returned to the attack and kept it up until after nightfall. General Cathcart, retreated, leaving Moshesh master of the field.

"It gave him the privilege of using the language of a conqueror and in such language he declared he was satisfied with the number of cattle." How much cattle had the general captured? But 1500, plus 3,000 Moshesn had given him. Note, however, that the letter was for the general's consumption alone. No sooner was his back turned than Moshesh sent couriers to all the chiefs, announcing a great black victory over the soldiers of the Great Queen,—a fact that General Cathcart's hasty departure seemed all the more to justify. Mosheh became a greater figure than ever, for as may be imagined, the real truth was not long in coming out. "From this time on," says Bigelow," the career of Mosheh in South Africa, was, in its way, almost as brilliant as that of Napoleon after the battle of Austerlitz." A man is clutching his chest.

He knew only too well that the Great White Queen bay only by discharges of canisters from the artillery. At the height of the battle there was a errific thunderstorm which caused a lull in the fighting, but no sooner was it over than the Basutos possessed enormously greater resources than he; that she would never rest until he had been beaten. It was then he did something that proved he was a master diplomat. He sent General Cathcart the strangest letter a victor has ever sent beaten foe. Shrewd Move This letter is worthy of reproduction here: "Your Excellency: This day you have fought against my people and taken much cattle. As the object for which you have come is to have compensation for the Boers I beg you'll be satisfied with what you have taken. I entreat peace from you. You have chastised. Let it be enough I pray you, and let me no longer be considered an enemy of the Queen. I will try all I can to keep my people in order in the future. "Your humble servant, Moshesh." As was to be expected, General Cathcart received this letter most gratefully. "It miraculously gave him a loop-hole of escape," says Sir Godfrey Lagden. "He, too, had been deceived in the strength of the enemy," says Theal in his "History of South Africa," and he dreaded a war with a tribe so highly organized and so well armed and with such strong natural fortresses.

Just look at him! Ain't he the classiest baby you's seen since Mike Gibbons first rubbed his feet in the rosin!" INSTALLMENT I Tod Wright's companion, Hogan, a pug who had seen his best days, agreed with his boss. And there wasn't anyone more competent to judge Willie Burns's ability than this same Hogan. Many a punch he had taken from the clever Burns, and the thought of them caused a queer feeling in the pit of his abdomen; a feeling which he had never been able to understand, and never would. The subject of their conversation joined them. He was tall, well proportioned and a good all-round scrapper. He could hit with the best of them; his record testified to that, for he had fourteen knockouts to his credit. In over twenty-five bouts he had lost but one, and that was early in his career. One more fight separated him from his goal, the battle with Cap Nelson for the middleweight championship of the world. That was Willie Burns. "Well, Tod." grinned Burns, "just done ten minutes with the bag. Did you get me a sparring partner?" AFRAID OF HIM The manager's brow wrinkled. "Nope, it's the same old story. Can't get a good boy to box you. Yur reputation of sockin' your mates has made the boys wary. They say when you're not punching with your left, you're doin' it with your right." Burns again grinned. "Old Hogan can't give me a workout. He's slower than a flat-footed cop. Come on, old timer, get a guy that can take 'em. I can shoot 'em in. You—." The fighter grabbed his manager and yelled, Wright did just that. What had drawn Burns's attention was a Negro, neither short nor tall, with long arms and a thick neck, standing in the doorway of the Garden Athletic Club's gymnasium; his eyes were bulging and his mouth was wide open. He was watching, half apologetically, a couple of the boys pummelling each other. Realizing that he was being scrutinized, he backed away as Wright and Burns approached him. "Hold on a minute," said Burns, "What can we do for you?" "Nothin'." answered the Negro. "Nothin' at all. sir." "How'd you like to put the gloves on?" "Yes, sir." "Wait a moment," butted in Wright. "Have you ever boxed?" "Yes, sir." "Where?" "Down South. "What part?" "North Carolina, sir." "Much?" "No. sir. Just once in a while." Wright could not remember when he had met a Negro so extraordinarily polite. "All right," he conceded, "box my friend here and earn five bucks for yourself." "Yes, sir," was all the colored boy answered. "That's a relief." muttered Wright, when the Negro had disappeared in the locker room to change clothes. "You'll get some kind of a workout today. Willie anyway." Stripped to his waist line. Concrete Brown, for that was the dark one's name, entered the ring. He had the physique of a Hercules. His eyes shone and his teeth glistened as he paired off against Burns. "Go easy with him," were Wright's orders to Burns. CONCRETE TOO FAST Burns walked confidently to Concrete's corner. He swung at Concrete's nose, but that gentleman's nose wasn't there, and neither was he. Instead, Concrete had ducked and was now behind Burns. As Burns turned, Concrete smashed him hard on his nose, making it bleed. From then on, Concrete demonstrated what he was capable of doing. The astonished Burns, who was considered the best prospect for the middleweight crown, was now backing around the ring, unable to block the blows that were hitting him from every conceivable angle. The bell was a blessing to him. The other boxers, trainers, managers, and hangers on in general had watched Concrete's entrance into the ring good humoredly. They had expected him to kiss the canvas whenever Burns desired him to do so. Instead, they saw the newconier give the prettiest exhibition a man could give. One minute after the bell had rung for the second round. Willie Burns la- stretched out. Over him stood Concrete. Wright hustled the black man in- to his office, after seeing to it that the stricken Willie was properly attended. When they emerged, the Negro had been signed to a contract. Wright was too clever a manager to let a good thing disappear. The gentleman of color was sewed up tighter than any tailor could sew a button. For Wright was positive that he had the real coming champion under his wing. Burns was a pitiful sight. His eyes were blackened, nse bleeding, and body crimson. But it was Burns's pride that was hurt more than anything else. His grin had vanished. "Gee, Willie." said Wright soothinglv, "you certainly ran into a tartar. Better let Doc Tate patch you up." Burns glared at his manager and snarled at Concrete. "Guess you think you're the greatest fighter in the world, eh?" "No, I do not. I'm awfully sorry, honest I am. I didn't mean to hit you so hard. No, say. Uh, uh." "Well, you listen to me," Burns yelled, "I'm gonna get you in the ring again, boy, and give you a shellacking so that your 'muvver' won't know you. See?" "Aw, now, Willie" protested Wright, frowning. "No reason for you to be sore at Concrete. Yeh, that's his name He's got concrete in both them fists. Be friends and I'll pilot both you babies to championships." BURNS GETS THE GATE "Who? Me? Me be in the same camp with this black freak! You gotta decide who you want. And think fast, too, for there's plenty managers that want me." "If that's the way you feel about it, boy you can leave just as quick as it takes to get your duds." Wright was wrought up more than he'd care to admit. Burns was astounded. He never thought for even a moment that he'd be sidetracked for this colored upstart, as he called him. "Okay with me, he cried, "but you'll hear from me again, and don't forget it." And Burns left. Wright shook his head. He then spoke to Concrete, who was sorrowfully watching the departing fighter. "Burns is just a bum sport. Who does he think I'll take, you or him? Imagine that! Say, you're the swellest fighter I've seen since Mike Gibbons stepped into the ring." Wright's conscience didn't trouble him, even though it was less than an hour since he was expounding on the ability of Willie Burns. "Where did you learn to fight?" asked Concrete's new manager. "North Carolina, sir." "Yeh, but what part?" "Jest in North Carolina, sir." The manager realized that there was little use in continuing a subject which Concrete evidently had intentions of evading. He was naturally anxious to learn of Concrete's early life, as every manager is when he assumes the responsibility of a new fighter. THE LITTLE BROWN GIRL Concrete was a "find." He took the boxers in his division into camp like the flappers took to "Oh, yeh!" In less than six months he had either knocked out or defeated decisively every good man. It was now the moment when he was to meet Cap Nelson, for the middleweight championship of the world. As Concrete entered the ring and gazed upon the huge crowd, that was cheering him lustily, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He was in perfect condition; Wright had seen to that. Brown was in his glory and he knew it. He was determined to win that championship quickly—the quicker, the better. As Wright was tieing his gloves on, Concrete saw a beautiful colored girl smiling at him. She was of slight build, with even pearl teeth. Concrete's heart beat faster as the little dark girl kept her eyes on him. Wright brought Concrete to his senses, by saying, "Remember, slug him! He'll try to box with you, but keep after him. He's got a glass jaw, so catch him on the point of the chin." Just then the champion hopped into the ring. He was a handsome chap. He had won his title by outpointing his men. Both men were confident as they stepped into the middle of the ring to receive instructions from the referee. Nelson whispered to Concrete. "You ain't going to last long. I think I'll stop you in the fourth round." Concrete grinned. "Yas. sir. you all may think so, but I gotta see that ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 31. 1930 Willie Burns Lay Stretched Out Willie Burns Lay Stretched Out A One minute after the bell had rung for the second round, Willie Burns lay stretched out. you don't las' that long, sir." Back in his corner again, waiting for the bell, Concrete felt a pair of eyes on him. It was the girl with the even teeth. His heart started to beat faster, but it stopped for a brief moment—the bell had rung! THEY'RE OFF Concrete tore out of his corner and started a punch to Nelson's chin. The champion ducked and responded with a left hook to the stomach. Concrete retaliated with a short right jab to the champ's left eye. In a few moments the optic was puffed. Nelson connected with Concrete's stomach One minute after the bell ha with a hard left hook that made the Negro gasp. For the rest of the round, the champion piled up points. It could easily be seen that if the bout went the limit, Nelson would win by the proverbial mile. In Concrete's corner, at the end of the round, Wright said, "Good work. Keep away from his left hook. Now try and close that other eye of his." But Concrete wasn't listening. He was grinning at the little slight girl. When the bell rang for the second round, Concrete rushed to Nelson's corner and jabbed the sore eye; the champion shot back a stiff jab that made Concrete's nose bleed. The champion was fighting hard. He put all he had into each punch. Near the end of the round Concrete astonished the crowd by completely outboxing the chamuion. Just before the bell rang, the colored boy closed the other eye of the weakenin champion. The bell was welcome to Nelson and he wearily stumbled to his corner. --- Wright bathed Concrete's nose and stopped the oozing blood. Concrete waved to the dapper girl and he was delighted when she waved back. "Say," spoke up Wright, who had noticed the lad's interest in the pretty colored girl, "do your lovemaking afterwards—fight now!" All Concrete answered was "Yes, sir!" Before the echoes of the bell had ceased Concrete was on top of Nelson. It was the third round and Concrete intended to make it the last. He punched with uncanny skill, hardly ever missing his man. Burns Lay Stretch NELSON FIZZLES Both eyes closed, the champion fought gamely. He knew he was fighting a losing battle. But, nevertheless, he was giving the best that was in him. As his punches became weaker, Concrete's became stronger. Concrete shot his right arm forward and connected with the champion's stomach. At that moment a towel was thrown to mid-ring and Nelson was champion no more! Concrete dressed as quickly as he could. He went into the arena. All the fans were gone. But near the exit stood the little girl with the even and shining pearl teeth. Concrete walked over to her, and before he could utter a word, she said in a low voice, hardly audible. "Congratulations, Mister Champion." "Thank you," Concrete replied. "You made me happy when you waved back Honest. I think you helped me win the championship." "G'wan," she murmured. "What's your name?" --- 3 "Got a brudder there named Remus Brown. Know him?" "Uh, Uh, lot's colored folks in New Orleans. Can't know them all." "Let's go fer a ride in my car. Huh?" asked Concrete. BURNS CONCOCTS A PLAN Thus started Concrete's romance. "I'm sure satisfied with myself. There's nothing I ain't got." Those were the exact words Concrete told himself three or four times a day. Villie Burns lay stretched out. But the black boy had forgotten that there had been a Willie Burns in his life. Burns still felt the sting of defeat at the hands of Concrete. His main thought was for revenge. He had long ago realized that he was no match for the colored champion. "Listen," whispered Burns to Cropsy, one of his cronies, "that city Brown, defends his title against Bulah Ahmend, the Turkish champ, tomorrow night. I've got an idea how to give him the works." Then the former pet of Tod Wright laid out his plans that boded no good for either Concrete or the manager. Cropsy nodded his approval "Yeah," he cunningly declared, "it can't miss. Me. I'll do my share. Watch me!" What foul plan is this that Burns has in store for Concrete? Will the clever colored champion escape it? See the last installment next week!

Most small children do not like broker playthings. They also. have to 1920 be shown the rea Mrs. Elsie Ayer sons for being gracious and kind to people who have had some part of their toys destroyed. Love of beauty is natural to norma' children. Why then, do we find older children making destruction their main pastime? In the streets. small urchins scatter ashes from cans, as a prime amusement. Breaking bottles under auto tires is a great thrill maker. Unearthly noises come from bands of boys and girls. They keep the younger children from sleeping and wear out the nerves of older persons. In schools and houses, owners lose thousands of dollars on scratched desks, marked walls and broken furnitur Torn books and wasted materia' ar a constant problem. Windows are continually broken and I have seen youngsters walk across the keys of pianos placed in playgrounds for game work. Parents Responsible It can all be traced back to the thoughtlessness and indifference of parents. These parents are careful about the things they themselves have to buy. They allow the first signs of senseless destruction to go unnoticed, if it does not touch their pocketbooks. Rather, they should be more particular about other people's property than about their own. This parent must first teach himself. On the first offense, the child should be taught the value and beauty of the object. If the child persists, he should be punished by depriving him of privileges and pleasures He has deprived others. Many think that destroying is a form of curiosity which should be satisfied. A valuable clock is taken apart by young Johnnie and mother thinks it is a sign that he will be a mechanical genius. Rather, Johnnie should learn the rule "Take apart only what you can put together again." The Well-Trained Child If these ideas are instilled into children, they will have power within them to withstand suggestions and temptations. Their playmates may want to turn over ash cans; or annoy the neighborhood by tooting the horns of parked automobiles; they may elect to spend an afternoon heckling a vendor. But, the welltrained child will always do his bit to oppose and if not successful, will leave. I have not ceased to be aroused when such instances as the following occur. Destructive Children The other day, a handsome new sedan was standing near a school entrance. Slippery sidewalks had been liberally sprinkled with sand and ashes. A thaw had mixed these with slush which clung to rubbers. As soon as school was out, the sedan was covered with a swarm of youngsters. They climbed up on front mudguards, on the running boards and tugged at the doors. Of course it was badly scratched.

At the left can be seen a man who sells water to those who come. The modern steel fence is in heavy contrast to the mystery of the two stones. The smaller one is much respected by the women who pay strange worship at midnight before it. Bv NANCY LYNDON Is the superstition of the native Oriental population of Hawaii stronger than the combined efforts of an American educational system that cost last year, more than $4,000,-000, plus an extensive public health system? There is an interesting answer to this question in the recent pilgrimage of many thousands of Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and other residents of Hawaii to seek "cures" through offerings and prayers to two "Miracle Stones" located just outside the city limits of the modern and prosperous city of Honolulu. Effective Cures? Offerings of all kinds have been brought to these strange stones, which are believed to be capable of effecting marvelous cures. Nearly $2,500 was deposited in the tiny collection box near the railing around the stones. Citizens have protested against the pilgrimages: others, because of the veneration and belief in the stones island legend and mythology, have counseled that the matter be ignored. The legend responsible for this remarkable pilgrimage has been handed down by the old Hawaiians, one to the other, and in the telling has taken on the color of the individual story-teller, so that exact origin is uncertain. Cock Broke Spell One legend has it that the taller of the two stones is the Hawaiian god, Lono, who was the first great healer. Another is that the stone is a new god showing his powers by the marvelous cures said to have been effected. Another, and possibly the favorite legend, concerns the story that the stones were really two sisters of royal lineage who lived on the island of Kauai, the most northerly island of the Hawaiian group. They flew, so the story runs, to the island of Oahu, on which is located Honolulu, by magic. While in the air passing over the island, a cock had the audacity to crow three times, thus breaking the spell so that the sisters turned to stone and dropped to the ground.

One is that it is an evil stone and the reverence is paid to prevent it doing harm. Another is that it is especially efficacious for mothers and children and that special cures will result from the appeal of mothers. Queer things are whispered about it and it is said that the women pray to it in groups rather than singly, their habit of going late at night t. worship this stone, creating all sorts of weird stories about the rites involved. It is certain that women spend many hours on their knees before this stone. There are other legends which, while repeated by the natives, could hardly be printed. 5 Offer Pork Chops American residents of the island believe that the stones have been stolen from old graves, but just how and when, cannot be proved. Notwithstanding the fact that much of the white population has little to do with these stones, there are some thousand pilgrims a day that bring their strange offerings. Among the offerings have been such incongruous things as a paper box containing two pork chops, some sliced tomatoes and a bottle of castor oil. Garlands of flowers, rice and money are the most common of the offerings. Fruit, flower and soda water stands have appeared in the vicinity to serve the seekers of good luck. Among the strange things offered for sale are bunches of eucalyptus leaves, by an ancient Chinese, Wong Low. His advice to buyers included the statement that if the leaves were rubbed on the stone, taken home and placed in hot water and then used for bathing, a cure was sure.

But never have I been able to stop loving Edna, my ex-wife. No other woman looked quite as good to me in any travels, and none satisfied me in the way she did.

If you had not written the last sentence of your letter, I would have urged you to leave without seeing Edna. It looked as if you had had your chance once and thrown it away and that now it was somebody else's time to try to make her happy. But your last sentence reveals sincere love and generosity. Now, we hear a great deal of love, but love and generosity seldom go hand in hand. Therefore, I urge you to see Edna and tell her what brought you back. Give her a chance to choose between you and the new suitor. Then if she takes him and not you, it will be time enough to show your generosity by leaving town and never seeing her again. d Recipes ♦LEMON DESSERT WITH BANANAS 1 package lemon junket 1 pint milk bananas First cut bananas in thin slices and place in bottoms of dessert glasses.

MOSHESH, THE SCOURGE OF SOUTH AFRICA cast in Europe by his friends, the missionaries, won him great favor there as a lover of peace. Public opinion in Europe was decidedly in his favor. With the British soldiers back in Cape Town, Moshesh's first move was to attack his old enemy, Sikonyela. Surprising him in his stronghold during the height of a storm, he utterly routed him, and sent him flying for refuge on British soil. As a tribe Sikonyela's people ceased to exist. Stronger than ever, Moshesh once more began his attacks on the Boers. Some writers say that this was rather the act of his impetuous sons, chief of whom was Mapuba. At this time also the British withdrew from the Orange Free State, giving the Boers their freedom. Basutos and Boers were left to fight it out among themselves. The Boers now invaded Basutoland but the frowning precipices of Thaba Bosigo strongly defied them. The few paths that led to the eyry of the black eagle were well-ortified, and the garrison was provided with food and water for a long siege. They tried to take the mountain fortress by storm, but were beaten back each time. At last Moshesh sent a raidingparty behind the Boers, creating havoc in their homes, and returning with a vast herd of cattle. Abandoning the siege, the Boers returned to their homes. For the next seven years he gave the Boers no peace, and again they returned. After ten months of war, Moshesh sued for peace but it was only a ruse to get in his crops and strengthen his position. Again war broke out, and for five years it went on, both sides fighting almost to the point of extermination. The two leading generals of the Boers, Senekal and Wepener, were killed in an unsuccessful attack on Thaba Bosigo. is important to note that it was these same Boers, who a few years later defeated the British at Majuba Hill and won their independence. Furuther, that Moshesh had to rely mostly on spears and gunpowder of his own making, which was much inferior to that imported by the Boers.

But he was determined that the Boers should not get his territory. It was then he played one of his master-strokes: he threw himself under the protection of that foe less likely to pillage him directly—the British. This was made comparatively easy by the aid of his friends, the missionaries, as well as by the very high regard with which he was held in England. He was on his deathbed but he had the satisfaction of knowing that at the last moment he had saved his people from the clutches of the enemy that they had been fighting more than 20 years. Most of the historians speak in the highest terms of him. Theal says: "Moshesh possessed abilities of a very high order as a military strategist, a diplomatist, an organizer of society, and a ruler of men. . . All who submitted to him were treated alike, no matter to what tribe they belonged, and as much assistance as possible was given to those who needed it. . . Men of the tribes that had been recently destroying each other were induced to live side by side in friendship and peace. Thus a new community was forming under Moshes: by far the ablest black ruler known in South Africa since the coming of the white man."

"The individual Negro most nearly entitled to be called great," says Bigelov,—"in so far as history leaves any record—is Moshesh. . . With trifling modifications of color and education he would have been welcomed in diplomatic circles as an advanced opportunist of the Bismarckian school." Sir Godfrey Lagden: "It is impossible to recall the story of his life without admiration for the untiring energy of the man; simple by nature, toughened by rude association, contending for supremacy with other tribes and for life alternately with Dutch settlers or British, yet all the while staggering under the weight of intrigues, domestic and foreign and worried perpetually by envoys from all parts, and correspondence hard for his untutored mind to grasp the meaning of. "The gift of foresight was peculiarly his; it was because he experienced it so intelligently that British governors, one after another, challenged his bad faith and ingratitude for not following advice or orders which he knew for a certainty would prove fatal to national interests.
