UNITED STATES OF AMERICA G. U. GREAT MASONIC GATHERING TO MEET IN KANSAS CITY 1918. The International Conference of Knights Templars and Other Bodies—Preparations Under Way. The International Conference of Knights Templars which meets in Kansas City, August, 1918, is the greatest Masonic gathering upon the globe among our people. Its drawing strength is variously estimated at from 10,000 to 20,000. At the 10th Biennial Session in Chicago last year twenty-one Masonic jurisdictions were represented and it was predicted at that time that the Kansas City meeting would prove even of greater drawing power. A Missouri Idea. The International Conference is of Missouri birth and was first proposed by the Chas. W. Prentice of St. Louis was then Grand-Commander of Knights Templars. Grand Master Chinn had called a world's congress of Masons to meet in the city of St. Louis during the World's Fair in 1904 and it was at this gathering that Sir Prentice proposed that the fraternization among Templars be kept up every two years. Hon. Theron B. Watkins, District Grand of Oddfellows, who retires this year after a n The Sixth Biennial Session. Two years later the idea took definite form holding the first big meeting in the city of Chicago. The meeting became a popular one from the start and has constantly gained in importance and numbers so that the meeting which gathers in Kansas City August 25 to 30, 1918, will not be an experiment but a great militant host which comes back to Missouri, its place of birth, after 12 or 14 years of proved worth and merit. The Masonic Family Represented. The popularity of the movement soon attracted the other Masonic bodies and one by one nearly all of the organizations have fallen in with idea and thus hold biennial sessions Prof. Wm. H. Dawley, Grand Registrar of the Grand Lodge and one of the most dignified and scholarly men in the jurisdiction. Prof. Wm. H.

Houston to extend the invitation to the Imperial Council which meets in Detroit in August of this year to be our guest in 1918.

EDITOR TELLS THE TRUTH. Gets Peeved Over Typographical Errors and Starts Succeeding. A West Texas editor got tired of being called a "lair" because of an occasional typographical error or slight disarrangement of the facts in publishing a common place news item. In his wrath, he announced in bold face type as follows: "A lot of people in this town fall out with the editor and brand him as a liar when the ordinary human mistakes of life show up in a newspaper. You have a little charity and fellow fellin' for every man in town but your editor. You claim that you want the facts, and d—d if I don't give 'em to you. Read the next issue if this sheet and you'll see some facts with the bark off. I'll admit that I have been a liar, an editorial liar, ever since I have been editing this sheet, but I have never printed a lie in these columns except to save somebody's feelings from being hurt. I'm not afraid of any of you and I'll be dad blamed if I don't print the plain truth Geo. W. K. Love, Grand Secretary of Missouri and Royal Grand Patron expert accountant in the office of the from now on, or until you get out of the habit of calling me a liar every time I make some little unavoidable typographical error. Watch my smoke." Here are some paragraphs, culled from the next issue: John Bennin, the laziest merchant in town, made a trip to Belleville yesterday. John Coyle, our groceryman who voted with the republicans in 1896, and consumes more mail-order whiskey than any other member of the Baptist Church in this county, is doing a poor business. His store is dirty and dusty. It is a wonder he has any business at all. z Rev. Sty preached last Sunday night at the Christian Church. His sermon was punk and uninteresting, except some stuff he quoted from Bob Ingersoll, for which he failed to give Bob any credit. He also recited a few passages from one of William Elbert Munsey's sermons and had the gall to palm it off as his own. Dave Charter died at his home two miles north of this place, last Thursday night. Doock Holderness, who is an old friend of the family, attended him a few minutes before he expired. He gave it out that Dave died of heart failure. That is a lie. Dave died from drinking too much of a very poor grade of mail order licker. This paper prints the truth. Tom Spradlin married Miss Cordie Meador last theres' day at the county seat. It ain't generally known, but the marriage was brought about mainly by a Remington shotgun manipulated by the bride's father. Tom concludin' that marryin' was the healthiest thing he could do until other arrangements could be made. Roger Lloyd, cashier of the state bank at Willow Grove, died Wednesday evening and was buried Friday by the Odd Fellows in Pleasant Mound cemetery. He had been tak UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ing this paper seven years and so far hasn't paid us a cent; we thinking that he, being a banker, would pay some time. We will sell the account for two bits' worth of fresh greens. Married: Miss Susie Scruggs and Horace Guffin, last Saturday, at the Methodist parsonage, Rev. James C. Williams officiating. The bride is a very ordinary town girl who flirts with all the traveling men she meets is and never helped her mother three days all put together in her whole life. She is anything but a beauty, resembling a gravel pit in the face, and walks like a duck. The groom is a natural-born loafer and bum. He never did a lick of work until his step-daddy run him off from home last fall. He went to the county seat, accepted a job as chambermaid in a livery stable. As soon as his ma found out where he was, she went and got him and brought him home. He now resides at the home of his wife's father and says that he has no definite plans for the future. Susie will have a hard row to hoe.—Exchange. y of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Order of the Eastern Star, and City Treasurer of Kansas City, Mo.

Vaughan's Values Vaughan's Values Perhaps many readers of The Sun would like to know who are taking advantage of these values I offer weekly. The biggest men in town, they are the ones. Not necessary the man who makes the most money, nor the man largest in size, but every man, rich or poor, who feels that love of wife and family is greater than love of money is a big man. When he reaches the point of buying a home for his family, where the wife can reign supreme, he becomes, indeed, a very big man. I am selling property right along in the two Kansas Citys.

"Funeral rings," or "memorial rings," were largely made in the seventeenth century. They contained the name of the person and date of death, enameled in black and white, and were often very elaborate in form. A not uncommon design was that of a skeleton bent along the hoop, holding a coffin, which formed the bezel. KELLEY'S BEST HIGH PATENT FLOUR Kelley's Best Beat all the Rest. Kelley Milling Co.

The Bible School was well attended and work and interest fine. The attendance at the morning service was not up to the standard but excellent services were conducted. It was seemingly too warm for some to be in attendance but not for the minister to preach. Two additions were made to the church. The offering was good. Elder W. T. York of Russellville, Ark., preached a very helpful sermon at night. Next Sunday is the last before the State Convention and all members are urged to be present with Convention Claims. The City Federation of Christian Churches will meet at 3:30 p. m. The Pastor will occupy the pulpit during the day. ALLEN CHAPEL. A large congregation was in attendance last Sunday morning. Notwithstanding the temperature had climbed into the 90's. Dr. Thomas, the minister preached a very interesting sermon. At 2:00 o'clock the funeral of Prof. T. W. W. Williams, long a member of Allen Crapel was preached by Dr. Wm. H. Thomas. Many were the expressions of sympathy. The floral offerings were profuse; having been a Master Mason of the 33 degree and a teacher for 35 years his funeral was largely attended. In the evening service Bishop J. A. Johnson the erudite pulpit orator delivered one of his inimitable sermons. The pastor had charge of the Intermediate Endeavor last Sunday. In comparing the year's public collection under the pledge system with that of the previous year the former shows the advantage or gain by several hundred dollars thereby proving its success. Next Sunday, August 5, is Newcomer's Day. All strangers from the South and elsewhere are invited to attend these services. VINE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. All services were well attended Sunday. There were five additions to the Church. The Kansas and Missouri Association will convene here August 16-17 at 9:00 A. M. Everybody is invited to come and have a grand time. Master Junior Tibbs A. B.

Although the weather was extremely warm last Sunday the services were well attended. In the morning services Dr. Jacobs (white) preached a powerful sermon which was enjoyed by all. In the evening Dr. Perry preached a beautiful sermon on "The Voyage of Jesus on the Sea of Galilee." During the day there were six additions to the Church. The entertainment which was given by Mr. Bell called "The Pardon on the Gallows" last Tuesday night was a suc- cess. Dr. Bacote preached a fine ser- meeting last Tuesday at 19th and mon and the Second Baptist church Grove. The great evangelist of Texas choir sang at Rev. Moore's Camp is conducting the services. PRAYER TO THE FLAG. Flag of the Brave, that moves afar, To curb the wrath of tyrant kings; To drag Oppression to the bar Of Judgment, list to him that sings! Thou art my Flag. I love thee still, In spite of them who rend, and smear Thee with base crimes; who seek to kill My People's hopes with baleful sneer. I love thee still, and now I lift My eyes to thee on high, above. To pray thee for the promised gift Of Freedom for the Race I love. E'er thy stars mount dim Europe's skies, To cheer brave hearts to Victory, I pray thee hear my People's cries, Here in the Home-land, set men free. Thy great fleets cruise in foreign seas. Thy armies gather for the fray, To strike Injustice to its knees. The World doth praise thy might today. And wilt thou boast thy Honor still, To those who fear thy venging rod, When Disfranchisement halts the will Of millions here on Freedom's sod? Put down the terror of the Mob. Sit Justice on the throne to reign. Where thy dark children brood, and sob, Speak peace unto their souls again. Open full-wide the Golden Gate Of Equal Chance, that all may strive— Ol' Glory, 'neath thy folds we wait, All broken, bruised, but yet alive. Far Lands have called thee. They have need Of thy strong aid, yet, are least, Who in thy household now doth plead, And must we starve while aliens feast? Great is our faith. Our hearts are thine. Blackmen will follow where you tell. Upon whatever battle-line, Thou know'st, with them, that all is well. Flag of the Brave! Our foes are nine, Against them let thy wrath be hurled, And then go forth with might divine, To establish Peace for all the World! cribe for The Sun Subscribe for The Sun Now Hon. L. A. Knox, P.

EDITORIALS. Be men. Fear nobody but God. If the darkest hour is just before day, then there is a glorious sunshine awaiting the American Negro in the very near future. Don't be discouraged, Race riots in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas, all indicating the inborn hate of the white man toward the black man who wants to work, are big inventives for Negro patriotism. If we were in charge of the war department we should not send Negro troops anywhere near Waco. The Brownsville lesson ought to be enough for quite a while. Naturally the black troopers are always at fault. Every time you save a penny's worth of food or fuel you help the Allies to wni the war. The faster you save, the faster they will win. This sounds trivial, perhaps, but it is a very serious consideration. Consult your physician concerning the open air school to be opened this fall at the Lincoln. Such schools have saved the lives of hundreds of white children and the opportunity sould be heartily embraced by parents whose children are not of robust health. Dr. Howard M. Smith, a prominent member of John Lange Lodge No. 103 and a political leader of Kansas City. NEGRO JOURNALISM AND ITS BENEFIT TO THE RACE. WE have not time or space to tell of the benefits of Negro journalism to the race. We can memely sketch them. No race or group can rise which does not have its own organs of publicity so as to keep its people informed about themselves, and to discuss the affairs of the community and the world as they refer particularly to that group, and to defend themselves against misrepresentation. Every locality must have its local paper. So every group must have its organs. We do not get justice from white papers. We must look to our own. We do not get much inspiration from white papers. We must turn to our own. Negro papers try to dignity the Negro race. No matter how poor the paper is, it is standing up for the Negro, and is doing good. Negro papers tell of the achievements of the Negro people. You can learn more of the good that Negroes are doing from one issue of the average Negro paper, which costs two cents, three cents, or five cents, than you can get from a year's subscription of the average white paper that some of us pay $5.00 per year for White papers emphasize the Negro's weakness: Negro papers tell of our strong points. The Negro paper tries to dignity Negro society, Negro womanhood and the Negro home. The Negro paper makes public opinion among Negroes of an inspiring sort. The Negro paper is about the only place where the Negro can get his case before the world. RIDE IN A VELIE! COMPETENT DRIVER! RATES REASONABLE!

In loving remembrance of our dear husband and father Rev. Henry Green pastor of the A. M. E. Church, Independence, Mo., who departed this life one year ago today July 28, 1916. My dear husband, I tenderly call your name and think with loving gratitude of your love and protection and thank God for your earthly activities that blessed humanity. I falter sometimes and wonder how I can go on without you, and I stagger under the load of loneliness and sorrow for "Death's face seems stern and cold when he is sent to summon those we love." But turning to God's word for strength to bury my sorrow and give to the world the sunshine of hope and trust I read those precious words "casting all your care upon him for He careth for you." Then the ministering angel comes and says: "Child of my love lean hard and let me feel the pressure of thy care, I know thy burden child. I shaped it, poised it in mine own hand: made no proportion in its weight to tine unaided strength. For even as I laid it on, I said I shall be near and while she leans on me, this burden shall be mine not hers; So shall I keep my child within the circling arms of mine own love. Here lay it down nor fear to impose it on a shoulder which upholds the government of worlds, yet closer come thou art not near enough; I would embrace thy care. So I might feel my child reposed on my breast. Thou lovest me? I knew it. Doubt not then but loving me lean hard." Mrs. Rosetta B. Greene, Wife O. C.

Tact is one of our necessary possessions for diplomacy. It is a little word, yet it means that nice discernment between what should be done and should not be done at a certain time. Tact does not come intuitively as many might suppose. It is the product of kindness, good breeding and the habit of thinking before doing. Many people lack tact because they do not think. We do not mean "think" in the ordinary acceptance of the word, but rather in the oriental sense of devoting a certain time every now and then for undisturbed and unprejudiced concentrated contemplation of some of the problems that confront us. Thinking is required to get some vexed problems straightened out in our minds. We go ahead blundering and knocking and shooting, if possible our brothers and sisters down right and left but rarely thinking what we are doing. Often this lack of thinking is the reason for mobs, riots, revolutions and wars. Some men and women make it a policy to down the Negro. The method of other men and women to lift him up is described as a disgrace and their instruction worthless. Such tactless people never think that such criticisms and such incidents as the East St. Louis riot always have a negative effect. The Negro listens and hears for a time and all the while his estimate race sinks deeper and deeper, until finally confidence is supplanted with disgust. Hence, it behooves every American citizen not to argue but to refrain from saying or doing anything that might offend any one's feelings whether the citizen discussed is present or absent, white or black. Go your own way and make your own fortune, but do not let your path be obstructed with the correction of misfortunes of others. * Justice, equal and exact, to all * men, of whatever state of pers- suasion, religious or political.— * Thomas Jefferson. .....

Thus saith the Lord of Host concerning Isaiah's vision, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem the days Uzzith, Jotham Ahaz and Hezekiah, king of Judah. Thus saith the God of Heavens "Give ear old earth these names are spiritually unto your Country and Government." The vision which troubled Isaiah's head on June 5, 1917, and time of the hour was twelve minutes after twelve; I am Alpha the first and the last. Talking unto him and telling him to write what I reveal unto him, then I wrote what my father revealed unto me. I saw an ark angel by the name of Gabriel who was clothed with majesty with sword in one hand and hell—death and destruction was on New York City. Near the harbor vengeance was sworn on New York City and one-fifth of that city was destroyed. Your God and Father saith the mystery of the interpretation belongs to Him. The sun, moon and stars obeyed. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the revelation of mystery of the vision is Revelation, 18th Chapter, 19th verse; Psalms 77, verse 19. Jeremiah, 5th Chapter, 15th verse. God talks now that I sent my son in yonder world to testify the things which shortly cometh to pass who bear the name of Isaiah Minor, prophet, who bear record of me and I of him. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts: Look, behold the record that he bore to me. Isaiah, first chapter, first verse. Jeremiah, first chapter, fifth verse. Ezekiel, first chapter, second verse.

MANASSEH’S SIN AND REPENT- ANCE. his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him: and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.—Isalah 85:7, ‘The reign of Manasseh was the long- est of any of the kings of Judah, It is strange that a wicked king should have the distinction of the longest reign, This can be accounted for, per- haps, by the fact that the nation was in such a state that their idolatrous corruption needed to go to its fullest development. It seems to be neces- sary in a world of free beings, that their actions must go to a certain stage of development. It was so with the inhabitants of Canaan before that land was possessed by Israel. Israel was kept in Egypt until the iniquity of that nation was full, In this case doubtless the Lord permitted this to go on until the idolatrous practices would become extremely obnoxious. 1, Manasseh’s Sin (vv. 1-9). Though he had the example of a good father, he with passionate endeavor gave him- self up to the imitation of the heathen about him. This shows that grace is not inherited; a good father may have a bad son. It also teaches us that it 1s absolutely necessary to bring the grace of God into vital touch with our children, for that grace is absolutely essential to their salvation. Only his grace can counteract the downward pull of sin. 1, He restored the high places whictt had been destroyed by his father (y. 8). It is thus seen that he sought to undo the good work done by his father. | 2. He erected altars to Baal (v. 3). The idols worshiped on these altars seem to have been images of licen- tious appearance, provoking the indul- | Bence of the human passion. There- fore, with this worship was coupled the grossest licentiousness, 8. He introduced the star worship of the Chaldeans and Assyrians (v. 3). |He even erected these altars in the | house of the Lord, placing them on a level with God himself. 4. He set up Moloch in the Vale of Hinnon (v. 6). He not only encour- aged this worship on the part of oth- ers, but he even caused his own chil- dren to pass through the fire. 5. He practiced magic, witchcraft; and dealt with a familiar spirit (v. 6). So gross were these practices that they did even worse than the heathen whom God had destroyed before the Children of Israel came into the land. 6. He rejected the Lord’s testimony (¥. 10). Doubtless the prophets had again and again admonished him, but he seems to have turned entirely aside from such remonstrances, 11. Manasseh’s Chastisement (vv. 11- 18). The Lord in grace used the As- syrians to chastise Manasseh, so as to bring him to see his evil ways, He was captured, perhaps while hiding | among the thicket of thorns (v. 11), bound in chains and carried to Baby- lon, This was most humiliating. His | hands were manacled, his ankles fas- tened together with rings and a bar. Ill. Manasseh’s Repentance. (vv. 12. 18). Fortunately, the chastisement had its desired effect. Manasseh was brought to his senses and turned from his evil ways. ‘The steps in his re- pentance are as follows: 1, Affliction (v, 12), This was most severe. Bound with chains and dragged to Babylon. While this was severe, it ‘was light in comparison with the sins which provoked it. 2, Supplication (y. 12), Manasseh had the good sense to ery out to God in this condition. It is the unmistak- able evidence that God's chastisement {s accomplishing its purpose. We are instructed in James 5:13 in time of af- filction to pray. 8, Humility (v. 12). This is a com- mon characteristic of penitent souls. ‘Those who come. under the hand of God always recognize it in their hum- ble walk. 4, Forgiveness (v. 18). As soon as God sees the signs of penitence, he turns in mercy to the penitent and grants absolution for sin. No one needs to wait long to receive his for giveness, 5. His kingdom restored (v, 13), Manasseh not only was forgiven, but he was actually restored to his king: dom. Those who truly repent, God will not only forgive, but he will re stere (Psa. 32:3-5). 6. Apprehension of God (v. 18). Through this experience Manasseb came to know God. 1V. Manasseh’s Reformation (vv 14-20), Manasseh was not content with merely recetving God's forgive ness and restoration to his kingdom but he sought so far as possible tc undo the mischief which he had done 1, He strengthened the fortification: of Jerusalem, so as to make his peo ple safe from the attack of a foreigr Dr. J.

It was rung in Boston previous to 1850 by the town bell ringer, who later also had charge of the town clock. A century ago three bells were rung in Boston—at eight in the morning, one in the afternoon and nine In the eve- ning. ‘Two hundred years ago the hours were five in the morning, eleven in the morning and nine at night. At that date the inhabitants were net so prompt in rising as in the previous century, when the bell was rung at 4:30 by the first bell ringer. ‘ ‘The midday bell was not first rung to call people to their noonday meal in Boston. In 1664, “for the more con- venient and expeditious dispatch of Marchants, assayers or any other re- lating to strangers and our inhabitants, itt.1s ordered that the bell shall be runge att a 11 of ye clocke every work- ing day to give notis thereof to all per- sons concerned and that the ringer shall be allowed 12p. per peare by every person that commonly resort thereunto and that they may assemble in the Rome under the Towne house, for the space of one hower for the ends above expressed.” About 1730 the practice of ringing a bell at one was begun, though for some years later requests were made for an eleven o'clock bell at some of the churches, and that practice continued in the last half of the eighteenth cen- tury. During that century bells were rung between eight and nine in the morning on the day of a town meeting, On days of rejoicing the bells were rung from six to seven in the morning till noon, and from two to six in the afternoon. The allowances by the town to sextons for daily ringing were, for one ringing £10, for two £20 and for three £30 per annum, ‘The Civil war did more’ to abolish the observance of Saturday night as the beginning of Sunday, and finished the falling away of the previous 2 years, ‘To the war must also be credit ed the abandonment of New England farms, started by the more frequent in- tercourse between town and countr3 by railroads, A Novel Surgical Device. In cases of stricture of the esopha- gus, which is the canal through which food passes to the stomach and which is situated behind the windpipe, it is important to secure an early diagnosis. Popular Mechanics magazine tells of a new method, reported by a New York hospital physician, which gives a clear outline of malignant strictures and is also a readily applied ald in the treat- ment of moderate cases, A smal) length of sausage skin, which fs the fibrous coat of the Intestine of the hog, is thoroughly washed and treated with formaldehyde nnd glycerin, then formed into a bag by tying one end with silk floss, the other end being slipped over a rubber tube and tied. The bag, which is now only a string, {s then easily swallowed by the patient with the aid of little water, and a thick bismuth mixture is allowed to flow into it, after which X-ray pletures show the outline of the stricture clearly. Se deta ate Among her presents was a large bowl of goldfish. Now it happened that her literary tastes were well known, and there was little in the world of litera- ture from the Anabasis to Zwingli with which she was not thoroughly famil- inr—but goldfish—well, they were out of her line. So in order to familiarize herself with the life, habits, appetite, prejudices and idiosyncrasies of gold- fish, so as to be able to assist them in their physical and moral development, she went to a book store, « “I want a goldfish book,” she told the young man who waited on her. A puzzled look overspread his coun- tenance as he asked, “A what?” “A goldfish book, a goldfish book,” she replied, Suddenly his face brightened as, with a lordly air of condescending su- periority, he sald: “Oh, yes, I know what you want.

Exercise for Thin Folks. When it comes to the question of exercise, the thin woman will do well to remember the old Greek warning, “Nothing too much.” She assuredly needs a certain amount of gentle ex- ercise every day, but she does not need and ought not to take up the violent sports which will do the fat woman all the good in the world. ‘There are two outdoor practices, how- ever, which will be of great benefit to the thin woman. One of these is walking, the other is swimming. When the thin woman walks she should not try to see how much ground she can cover in a certain period of time. Let her walk quietly and at a moderate pace, paying par- ticular attention to her breathing, Walking in the fresh air will help you to breathe correctly, and it will also give you a splendid appetite for those three meals of good, wholesome food of which you ought to dispose daily. Swimming also will aid your appetite, and it is positively the best und quickest way to develop the bust und shoulders, ‘This is the swimming season; don't fail to learn if you want to gain weight and a healthful sym- metrical bodv.

Secretary Masonic Relief of Missouri Nothing is so indicative of human progress as the increasing ability of men to view death in a calm, thoughtful, sensible manner and realize that this event in no wise ends the Divine and immortal purpose of life as exemplified in the individual. Prof. T. W. H. Williams had taken up a scientific thought which must have led hi mon to the nobler ways of this co-existence with the eternal. He must have learned that cold materialism held out but little hope for men here or hereafter, that an understanding along the lines of Spiritual Science is the only thing that makes attainable the Great truth of happiness and love. Here was a pedagogue, a teacher of mankind, who for 35 years devoted his services to the gruelling away of the crudities of childhood, pointing out, explaining, interpreting, making things comprehensible to the young. All of which was very beautiful. But it was this new thought that took hold of the veteran teacher and carried him, by sheer force on to higher ground. The teacher became the warm enthusiastic student. To most people Williams, in late years, showed idiosyncrasies of senile temperament, but to the initiated he merely demonstrated the glory of Science, a science that ushers me into the realm of love, the supremacy of mind real. The writer is grateful for what little contact he enjoyed with this man.

He was our devoted reader. He was more. He inspired by his sympathy and great understanding. We are not separated now, separation includes divergence. As we are all going the same way, it really makes little difference when we reach our destination—Truth. For all shall see, all shall know, know what? Death? No. Not death, but the Truth! Remember this "Truth" is life, and this is what we shall know life and life shall make us free of death, oh Freedom, Yes, we must know sooner or later, here or elsewhere. Truth compels it. Someday, sometime, someplace man shall know his God. Death—Time—Mortality passes—Life, eternity, immortality remain. MURDER SPOILED SLEEP After a Restless Night William Davis, a Negro, Told of Killing. A trembling, husky voiced negro grasped the arm of E. G. McGeary, information clerk at police headquarters, as McGeary was leaving headquarters early today. "Lock me up," the negro said. "I killed a man last night and I couldn't sleep." The negro, William Davis, said he had quarreled over a woman with Clyde Herbert, another negro, at Seventeenth Street and Lydia Avenue last night. Davis stabbed Herbert through the heart. He is being held for investigation. Has a Hard Time.
