METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE DEATH GLAIMS JAMES BLAINE BOYD SECOND SON OF DR. AND MRS. R, H. BOYD DIES IN DENVER, COLORADO GOLORED MAN ELEGTED PRESIDENT OF BRAZIL, S. A. REMAINS LAID TO REST AT GREENWOOD CEMETERY — FUNERAL AT MT. OLIVE CH. Death claimed J. Blaine Boyd, Thursday night, April 6th, at Denver, Colorado. This sad message flashed over the wire, and reached Nashville early Friday morning. The news was scattered from this city broadcast throughout the United States to his host of friends. The deceased had gone West in search of health, and from the time he arrived at Denver, up to the day of the sad intelligence of his passing, came to this city his many friends were hopeful of his complete recovery as the best medical skill obtainable in the west had been summoned to his case. At the time of his death Mrs. J. Blaine Boyd, the wife was at the bedside as were a number of newly made friends out in Colorado. Mr. J., Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Boyd were in Tampa, Florida, spending the winter in search of their health when they received the sad intelligence. Hurried preparations were made for their return which reached Nashville Sunday afternoon was a long and sad journey, but they in time to meet the remains here which came Monday night. Funeral services were held over the remains at the Mt. Olive Baptist church of which the deceased was a member, at 2 p. m., Tuesday. Rev. V. B. Ridley, pastor of the church officiated, assisted by Rev. G. B. Taylor, of the Second Baptist church a member of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and Rev. J. L. Harding, pastor of the Third Avenue Baptist church and also a member of the National Baptist Publishing Board. When the cortege reached the church the spacious auditorium was filled to over-flowing with friends who had known the deceased from his boyhood as he grew up in Nashville. As the procession moved slowly down the aisle the funeral dirge, with the pall bearers the flower bearers and the sorrowing family and relatives made a scene of sorrow. It was pathetic to see the aged mother and father as they wended their way slowly down the aisle following all that was mortal of a son who had fallen in the prime of life. The choir Rio de Janero, Brazil, S. A. Apr. 12-Colored Americans of the United States may as well be greatly gratified that a decendent of their race has been elected by more than a half million majority, as president of Brazil.

The complete returns from the national election held throughout the republic, confirms the first reports sent out within a few hours after the polls closed declaring the election of Pecambia, president. The reports were credited but the size of his majority was not conceded by the opposition at that time; the authentic returns comroute all doubt.

WHEELER An analysis of belated returns from Tuesday's primary battle puts an aspect on the general result entirely different from that conveyed by the McCormick-Brundge forces Wednesday morning. City Hall leaders yesterday, after going over the final figures, put forth the claim that they had won a greater victory than they did two years ago. Governor Small, before leaving for Kankakee last night, stated that fo the ten state senators nominated in the down-state districts, not more than three would be under the complete control of the McCormick-Brundage people, assuming all should be elected in November. In the big fight for control in Cook county the Thompson forces pointed out that they had won a sweeping victory, nd late returns from down-state, they said, indicated that control of the new state committee may yet be in doubt. But in Chicago they cleaned up with landslide votes. With no county ticket in the field and indorsments of only four or five candidates picked out of the general list, and within sixty days after the Crowe-Barrett defection and the claim that the Thompson organization was on the rocks the City Hall Tuesday swept to victory by landslide votes the men they particularly stood for. Berger Loman, the much-decorated war hero, to whom Mayor Thompson personally gave a check for $2,500 for his campaign expenses, and who was attacked in the closing days by the McCormick-Brundage spellbinders as a City Hall entry, won over both the Crowe and Deneen candidate for the nomination for county clerk by an unprecedented vote. Get Big Majorities This was one of the big features of the contest. The two members of Governor Small's cabnt who had the support of the City Hall—Charles J. Peters for sanitary district trustee and George B. Arnold for state central committeeman in the Sixth Congressional Disrict—rolled up record breaking majorities against the combined Brundage-McCormick-Deneen-Crowe forces. Peters is state grain inspector and Arnold is director of labor in the Governor's cabinet. The Peters candidacy was the one outstanding place on the Republican ticket, aside from the fight for state central committeeman, around which the Thompson and the McCormick-Brundage forces had a straight out and clear cut fight. Alderman Wallace, who was defeated for the omitation by Peters by at least 30,000 plurality, was the particular entry of Attorney General Brundage, th hall leaders point out. Represented Brundage He comes from Brundage's home ward, and in the city council has personally represented the Brundage McCormick faction, in his assaluts on the city administration and the mayor. If there was any one single fight on the county ticket, the hall people said, where the entire issue was Brundage and Thompson, aside from the legislative and committee battles, it was this Wallace-Peters contest. And here the Brundage forces were snowed under. The victory of Arnold over Farlin H. Ball in the Sixth District for state committeeman was even more marked than the Peters victory, the city senate. In 1900 he was elected president on the Federalist ticket by a majority of 200,000. He became Premier on February 23, 1917, and will be inaugurated on May 1, 1922. FRIDAY ILLINOIS hall leaders asserted. In the closing days of the campaign the McCormick-Brundage-Deneen-Crowe forces combined against Arnold and in support of Ball, who was considered the strongest man in the district to pit against the Thompson man. Ball is Looser Ball was defeated by Arnold, according to city hall figures, by at least 6,000 plurality. While the hall spokesmen were not commenting on the sheriff proposition, the figures in the Second Ward seem to bear out the charge made by Deneen at the close of the battle that some of the city hall ward leaders were marking their ballots for Hoffman, and not Laudenheimer. The Second Ward returns shows that Hoffman ran like a racehorse in that section of the city and by practically the same vote that went to other candidates who were known to have the good will of the hall leadership. But it was on the legislative battle and the state committee, the Thompson spokesman said last night they snowed under the combined opposition. Seven Are Won The McCormick-Brundge people particularly emphasized the fight for state committeemen in the Chicago districts, and sent out special bulletins asking that the "enraged voters kick the Thompson men into the lake." The Thompson forces made a fight in nine districts—the nine districts in which McCormick-Brundge ferces made their principal fight. The Thompson people won seven of the nine candidates, as follows: First District—Francis P. Brady. Second District—Edwin S. Davis. Third District—James Rea. Fourth District—S. G. Graham. Sixth District—Geo. BB. Arnold. Seventh District—Jno. P. Garner. Eighth District—Gernard Brobowski. In electing these candidates some of the strongest McCormick-Brundage men in Chicago were snowed under. Davis, president of the Board of Education, defeated Geo. W. Reinecke, a consistent anti-City Hall leader. Arnold in the Sixth defeated one of the best known and highly esteemed men in the district when he snowed under Farlin Ball. Twenty-Three Are Indonsed The City Hall forces indorsed twenty-three Republican candidates for the lower house of the Legislature and won with twenty. The twenty out of the twenty-three carrying the hall indorsement who won were: First—William M. Brinkman and Shadrick B. Turner. Second—Peter S. Krumpp. Third—Adelbert H. Roberts. Fourth—Arthur J. Rutshaw. Fifth—Sidney Lyno. Sixth—Emil A. W. Johnson. Eleventh—Philip E. Gieseler and David I. Swanson. Thirteenth—Gotthard A. Dahlberg Fifteenth—Thomas Curran. Seventeenth—Edward J. Smeljkal Nineteenth—Charles E. Mariner. Twenty-first—James Vignola and William F. Daley. Twenty-third—Edward M. Overland. Twenty-fifth—John Paul. Twenty-ninth—Ernest W. Turner and Michael R. Durso. Thirty-first—George A. Williston. The hall leaders, after giving out these results, said they believed they would be able to put through the enabling legislation in the next session that will permit the people of Chicago to say how they want their street car systems operated.

Wake up the Baptists, and tell them what has been done for the aged ministers and their wives by the Gen. Missionary Baptist State Association, and the women's organization. Tell them that the State Association and the Women's Convention in their sessions last May in Evanston, appointed a committee of three in each body and empowered them to locate a site, and purchase, for the purpose of herin stated, and that has been done. Tell them that a desirable house with 26 or 27 rooms, just about 1-4 mile from Golconda, beautiful scenery round and about overlooking the town. The building towers high, one can see miles around about, a clear view of the river north and south; 300 acres of land 200 tillable, portion of land with wheat timothy hay, and clover. The elover seed is 30 bushels, 6 acres of wheat goes to the Association and 1-3 of 15 acres and all of the hay crop; and there is quite a deal of timber, in fact a variety of timber, such as oak, cedar and locust. Limestone and shale accessible to the railroad this a material substance in making cement. The railroad runs directly to where the cement plant is to be located, and is to be operated sometime this summer. There is a splendid barn and other buildings on the farm. It would be well to run an excursion our town, Golconda, and let the people come down and see for themselves. We hope the powers that be, will take the matter under consideration, so that everyone can see for him or herself. This property has been purchased at a cost of $20,000. A house of this kind cannot be built for less than what the whole thing cost. We can say he gave us the crop and the 300 acres and sold us the house, or gave us the land, etc. But say listen, wouldn't it be a nice thing if one of the associational days would be given for this purpose? The terms in part are as follows: A bond for the deed when the Bonus shall have been paid, that has been done, and when the remainder $1500, shall have been paid, then come the warrantee deed, abstract, etc., but do not forget that the Bonus gave possession. Just this word, and that is this, every Baptist should have his or her name on the ledger for one dollar at least let us all move forward. Apprehensions; fears, and regrets will not serve the purpose. We must act, and act promptly and efficiently.

ILL Modern "Tankers" Are Now Blamed for Added Weight Taken On by the Seamen. Shipping experts continue to argue regarding the advantages of oil fuel over coal. At present the question is occupying the attention of medical men. The adverse effect of oil fuel upon such surfaces as steel, canvas, rope and other shipping accessories are widely known: ships' doctors are now divided on the question as to whether it is harmful or beneficial in its effect upon sailors, a writer in London Tit-Bits states. Sailors on oil-fed vessels are fatter and plumper than those, who work on coal-fed ships. Some naval surgeons declare that the fattening effect is produced by the slight fumes exuded by the dormant oil fuel; others ridicule the suggestion, and maintain that the former are fat simply because they have less work to do. "Coaling ship" is one of the finest exercises in the world for reducing superfluous flesh. It is hard work that has to be maintained at high speed all day. Ships vie with each other in getting their coal aboard in record time, and even after the operation is finished the sailors still have a few more ounces of avoiddupois to work off in cleaning up the mess below decks. Usually three days are occupied in cleaning a vessel after a bout of "coal ship." On the other hand, oil-fuel ships perform the task in about three hours. Doctors are asking themselves: "Is the fat a healthy fat, or an injurious parasitic growth?" If a hammock is splashed with oil fuel, all the scrubbing and boiling in the world will not prevent a hole from appearing in it; and if it eats through double-ply canvas, what will oil fuel accomplish in the case of human beings? "Tanker", hands are noticing that after two or three voyages they begin to put on flesh. FAMED FOR ITS MARASCHINO Dalmatian Town of Sebenice Really Has Little Right to Other Claims to Honors. Sebenico vainly boasts of being the Roman colony Sicum, where Claudius quartered his veterans, and so styles itself in public inscriptions and Latin documents. But Sicum stood farther south, near Salona, at a spot still marked by Roman remnails. It is to be feared that Sebenico had a sadly ignoble origin, says the Manchester Guardian. The name is said to be derived from a word that means the fort from whence bandits watched the sea for ships which they attacked and plundered. The little Dalmatian pirates' lair remained quite unknown until selected in the early Middle ages by Croatian kings for their favorite residence. Apart from possession of a picturesque land-locked barbor, the only cathedral in the world built entirely of stone and metal, and the ancestral house of the Orasti, Sebenico has few claims to distinction. However, by some people Sebenico will always be held in high honor for being the place where they make marsecino, an insidious liquor distilled from small black cherries. The Wrong Saint. Childhood's propensity for getting names mixed was well illustrated a Sunday morning or two ago when little Richard, on the way to Sunday school with his mother and sister, met another little boy afflicted with St. Vitus' dance. Richard was deeply impressed by the incident and asked his mother what was the matter with the little boy. "Poor child," the sympathetic mother replied. "He has St. Vitus's dance." Back at home, Richard rushed in to tell his father of the incidents of the morning and closed with the remark: "And—and—and we saw a poor Little boy who jerked all over. He had the Ritcomb Rilley." Only Fat Girls in His Office. Only Fat Girls in His Once. "I have found one employer whose 'bug' in hiring folks for his office is worse than the idea against bobbed heads and short skirts" lamented a young woman who was weary with hunting work. "And what's that?" "He won't hire any one—male or female—unless he has a fat, healthy, well-fed, well-cared-for look. I was talking to the girl who lets applicants in to see the boss. She was real sweet and kind and she told me I might as well not go in. I asked her why, and she confided to me that I was too pale, too delicate looking. This girl thinks it is just because he is known as an old rightwad and is selfish, and he doesn't want it said of him that even his office people look pinched and pale and ill-treated."—New York Sun. A Day Dream. "That was a smooth stock salesman in here just now." "He was, indeed," said Mr. Dubwalte. "He hadn't been talking five minutes before I saw myself stepping briskly into a bank to deposit a few hundred thousand dollars, then strolling around to my tailor to order a winter outfit of a dozen suits and making an engagement with a friend of nine in the motor business to look at the fall styles in linousines." "What happened next?" What happened next? "Oh, I woke up, glancing, hastily about to see if I was still sitting in the little old office and wished him 'good morning.'"—Birmingham Age-Herald Twenty-Five of the Largest Cities of the World, in the Order That They Come.

SIEGFRIED'S SWORD IN BERLIN Weapon Had Long Been in German Capital, Though the Hero Was Really a Belgian. The theft of the sword from the statue of Siegfried in Berlin raises the question. What has Berlin to do with Siegfried's sword or with Siegfried himself? That hero was no Prussian, but rather a Belgian—at any rate, a Netherlander—and it was a Burgundian princess that he married. In his day the Borussians were an obscure tribe and scarcely heard of in Burgundy and along the Rhine. Moreover, the difference in character makes it hopelessly incongruous for the Prussians of today to exploit Siegfried as one of their national heroes. Hagen of Tronje would be more fit, chosen at the moment when he treacherously murders Siegfried, when he steals Kriemhilde's fortune or when he brutally slays the infant Ortlel, But Siegfried was honorable, Siegfried was brave, Siegfried was chivalric, Siegfried was not a Hohenzollern. To exploit Siegfried and his Balmung as emblematic of Prussia, or indeed of the Germany of today, is gross impertinence perhaps. It is well that the sword is gone. The statue itself should follow it into retirement from a place where it does not belong.—New York Tribune. Now Belleve London Is Dead. Now Believe London is Dead. The Danes are at last convinced that Jack London is dead. A rumor had been widely circulated among them to the effect that the American author was living a secluded life on a South sea island and would not emerge until he had finished a momentous novel. A young Dane returned to Copenhagen the other day, fresh from Sign Francisco. He said he had taken a walk with Mrs. Jack London, near the Londons' California home. Coming to a boulder, he leaped over it. Mrs. London said: "Do you know what you have just done?" The Dane confessed his ignorance. "You have jumped over my husband's grave," she said. The Dane apologized for his seeming lack of respect, took the next train for South Brooklyn, and embarked on the Oscar II for the Danish capital, where he related his experiences. Jack London's Danish publisher, Herr Martin, said: "I never did quite believe that rumor."—New York Evening Post. And Now the "Finale-Hopper." That section of Manhattan called the Acropolis of America, extending from Riverside drive to Morningside Park, has a new designation for ultra-modern girls—"finale-hoppers." They are the young women who are a year ahead of the present or think they are doing now what the rest of their sex will be doing at some time in the future. A finale-hopper is never in style. She is a trailblazer, a pathfinder. She anticipates style. As soon as what she is doing is taken up and adopted by the crowd she drops it and turns to something else that is absolutely new. That applies to music, art, dancing, dress and even slung. She is ever on the still hunt for anything fresh that has never before been done or known.—Raymond G. Carroll, In the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Improving on Nature. I plucked an autumn leaf in the park and took it to the studio. Showing it to the man with the wonderful relatives, I said: "How's that for an imitation leaf made out of a very fine grade of leather?" "Le'seelt?" asked the man with the wonderful relatives. Passing his fingers over the tinted surface, he remarked: "My uncle used to make imitation leaves." "I suppose," I queried, "that they were much better than this one." He looked at me in pity and sneeringly said: "I'll say they was!"—Exchange. Valuable Weather Predictions Valuable Weather Predictions.

Special Club-Raisers’ Rates As in former years, the Glebe-Demociat is making a special club-raisers’ rate, reduced from the regula® rates when three or more yearly subscriptions, by mail are sent at one time, The club raisers’ rate now in force is $15 75 net for a clubjof three yearly subscriptions to the Daily (ooly ) Globe~ Democrat, or $23.25 for a clab of three yearly Daily and Sun- ¢ay Globe-Democrat subscriptions, This reduces the price to each club member to $5.25 for Daily and $7.75 for the Daily and Sunday Globe-Democrat. More than three sub- scriptions can be included in a club, at the same club raisres’ rates. Not a Reduction in Quality The price reduction does not mean that either the quan- tity or quality that Globe Democrat readers have grown ac- customed to will be reduced, Regular readers will, continue to enjoy and benefit by the same extensive up-to-the last-min- ute news service, the same accurate complete market and fi- nancial reports, the same editorial page, renowned and quoted all over the world and the same vast store of unequal features that have placed the Globe-Democrat among the leading news- papers in the universe, THE GLOBE PRINTING CO., Publishers St. Louis, MO. Gothamites Take to Importation From London, Though It Seems Rather ‘a Childish Pastime. ‘There's a new dance stunt in town, Its the balivon dance and it's from dear old London, don't you gow, It's a bit of all right, too. A few nights age it was introduced ut the Kendezvour—one of Broad way's inost exclusive supper clubs. And it made a tremendous hit, says the New York World, A toy balloon is tied to the ankle of each dancer of the fair sex and the idea is to get through a close-fitting foxtrot or a toddle with the balloon still intact, ‘That is the girl's idea, The idea of the men dancers is to break as many balloons us possible without stepping out of the dance, On 4 crowded floor the balloons have about as much chance as x snowball in—well, « warmer place than New York. However, a prize I offered to the woman who can emerge from the maze of the dance with her balloon still fying. One young lady at the Rendezvous actually won the prize, But the pop- ping of the colored spheres reminded one of the popping of champagne corks. Anyway, it’s a great boon for the balloon manufacturers, For the dance floors of the average toddle sanctuary are so stall that the only way to keep off one’s purtner’s balloon ix to step on her feet—and that is not very pop wlar with the falr’ sex.
