CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP IS THE INSISTENT DEMAND OF MANY COLORED VOTERS Dissatisfied and Disgusted with Old Methods Which Have Impaired Negro's Prestige as a Political Asset and Made Him Almost a Political Nonentity. HARLEM HEADQUARTERS NOT WANTED THIS YEAR Voters Think Such an Arrangement Savors of "Jim Crowism." Same Politicians who Could Not Even Carry Negro Districts in Harlem Four Years Ago for Taft are Once More Ambitious to Manage Negro Erid of National Campaign. (BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF THE AGE.) Washington, D. C.—Four years ago a white man from Alabama succeeded in convincing those in charge of the Taft campaign that he had more influence with the colored voters of the North than any Negrd; so he was appointed in the beginning to head the Negro end of the campaign. Some Negro leaders openly resented such an obnoxious appointment and were not backward in making known their displeasure to those who had committed such a grievous error. There were others who were inclined to show anger and protest behind the backs of the campaign managers, but displayed the usual timidity and fear when it came to speaking up for the colored man's rights.

Such a rumpus was raised by those having the courage of their convictions who did not hesitate to tell the campaign managers the Negro should be represented by one of his own, a prerogative enjoyed by the Jewish, Italian, Irish and German voters, that the white gentleman From Alabama was relegated to a less conspicuous position, although it was a hard task convincing him why he could not be regarded as a most influential personage among the colored voters. Formed Auxiliary Committee. Representative colored men from different sections where the colored vote is large and a factor, were summoned to New York and an auxiliary committee to the Republican National Committee was formed. But this subcommittee was organized in a most unusual way. Some of those who had not the ability to speak aloud against the appointment of a white man to lead colored men met somewhere at some time and proceeded to elect officers. Next day in one of the rooms of the Republican National Committee in the Times Building those who had not been invited to attend the conference were told that the auxiliary committee had been formed, had elected officers and selected Harlem headquarters. To have interposed serious objections to this unfair method of organization at the time would have placed anyone in the position of being a "sorehead" or a "kicker." The amount of effective work performed at the Negro headquarters in Harlem will never be known. How much literature was printed and distributed also remains a deep mystery. The only fact made painfully apparent on election day and afterwards was that even in Harlem where headquarters were maintained, Mr. Taft lost in most, if not all, the Negro election districts. At It Again. This year a determined effort is being made to make history repeat itself. Those who could not even carry Harlem at the last Presidential election are one more working to direct the movements of the colored voters throughout the United States in November. They are scheming night and day "to put over something big politically," as they throw it, forgetful of their past disastrous record and only mindful of the enticing possibilities of the future. Sometimes Negro political leaders do not come from the people as do the political leaders of, other races. Frequently it happens that it is the Negro who can get the car of the influential white man who is told to go out and assume leadership over the members of his race. As but few colored men are able to get to talk with the powers that lie it is solidum white leaders get a true understanding of what the colored voters are thinking-expert in instances like four years ago when the Negro districts in Harlem went against Taft. New York is not the only place where a strong and insistent demand is being The New York Age made by the rank and file for a change in leadership. Chicago, however, is somewhat of an exception to the rule, for in this bustling city of the Middle West the Negro is winning political recognition. He has members in the State Legislature, an alumman and has plucked a number of choice plums from the municipal political tree, thanks to effective organization and capable leadership. In cities where a demand is being made for leadership that will mean just political recognition to the Negro, the situation is peculiar. The mutterings of discontent are not being heard by white politicians in power because they seldom come in close contact with the voters. They receive most cheerful news about the enthusiasm shown for the G. O. P., and then when things go wrong find it difficult to understand why the Negro has not supported the Republican ticket with the consistency of former years. Were conditions as they truly exist made known there would be no good and valid reason for misunderstandings. For the information of Chairman Willecox, Secretary Reynolds and other chieftains of the Hughes campaign, THE ACE correspondent believes it timely to present some of the views of the majority of voters, offering to corroborate all that is said, if necessary. The rank and file of colored voters want new and capable leadership. They want leaders not totally eaten up with selfishness—leaders who are willing to secure a square deal for others as well as themselves. They want leaders who are not afraid to come out in the open and make an intelligent and aggressive fight for the political and civic rights of the race. They want leaders who, while astute politicians and men of ability, must also be men of character. They want leaders whose influence with the race is not a negative quantity and who command respect among all classes of Negroes. Last but not least, they want leaders who are made by Negroes and not by white people. These demands are not regarded as too ambitious by the colored voters, who are asking no more than any other race that has respect for itself and wants to be respected. There are many voters throughout the country who fail to see the need of establishing a Negro division far away from the regular headquarters, believing such a separation savors of "Jim Crowism." They are of the opinion that headquarters for the Negro ought to be established in the same building with all other sub-committees under the control of the campaign committee, and that competent colored men be in charge. BALTIMORE HONORS RACE'S HERO DEAD Monster Memorial Service Held Sunday Morning by Citizens of the Monumental City. SECRETARY BAKER'S TRIBUTE In Communications to Presiding Officer The President, The Vice-President, The Secretary of War, Former Vice- President Fairbanks, and Many Others Pay Eloquent Tribute to 10th's Heroes' (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) BALTIMORE, MN—Baltimore's tribute to the gallant soldiers of the Tenth United States Cavalry who laid down their lives for the flag at Carrizal, Mexico, was paid in part at a monster Memorial Service held Sunday morning, July 16, at the John Wesley M. E. Church, the Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, pastor. The spacious auditorium was not large enough to accommodate the number who sought to gain entrance, many being forced to remain on the outside. The church was draped with innumer- able flags, the national emblem being the only decoration. Each one in the audience wore a tiny American flag as a boutonier. An air of solemnity, in which entered a large element of pride in the achievements of the heroes in whose honor the service was being held, perceived the audience. On the rostrum were seated members of the Committee of Arrangements, representing all businesses and professions. The Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon served as chairman, and I. Guy Bowley, M. D., was secretary. The choir of the church rendered special music, and other musical numbers were given by the Peerless Singing Association and Lloyd G. Gibbs, tenor. A program beating the occasion had been arranged, and it included, in addition to the musical members, a sermon by Dr. Lloyd Gibbs, and a poem by Bishop John Hurst, of the A.M. F. Church, spoke on "Patriotic Incentives," and Proi. Howard Gross, of the Baltimore High School, recited "Dunbar's "The Colored Soldier." Tribute from Secretary of War. Communications from many distinguished citizens, white and colored, who were unable to be present in person, were read by the secretary, Dr. Bowley. Among those who sent communications were the President of the United States; Secretary of War Baker, former Vice President Charles W. J. Lurbanks, Vice President Thomas R. Marshall, Dr Joseph Irvin France, Senatorial nominee of the Republican party; Congressman Albert Johnson, Bishop L. J. Copin, of Philadelphia; former Collector William F. Stone, Secretary of State C. L. Lansing, Charles L. Bonaparte, former Secretary of the Navy; the Hon. John Hubert, acting Mayor of the City of Baltimore, John Philip Hill, Prof. John W. E. Bowen, of Gammon School of Theology, and William F. Broening, State's Attorney. The letter received from Secretary Baker of the War Department was as follows: WAR DEPARTMENT Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. Lyon..... I regret that not be possible for time to attend on Sunday (Continued on page two) MANY CLAIM HONOR FOR 4TH OF JULY PLANS The celebration of Independence Day as carried out on West 134th street, Harlem, attained a considerable measure of success, but it is a mooted question, even now, as to who or what agency was responsible for the carrying out on the plans. The United Civic League, of which John M. Royall is president, was supposed to be the sponsor for the affair, and President Royall tendered the use of the roof extension of his real estate office building for the placing of a moving picture machine used to project patriotic views. He also secured permission to use a building opposite for hanging of the picture screen. Mr. Royall attended the Chicago conventions and left details in the hands of his co-workers in the league, but when he returned to the city a few days before the Fourth he found that affairs were at a standstill, and those he had depended on had been derelict in the performance of tasks assigned to him for necessity. As Monday he found that no arrangements had been made for a street stand or for music, and he had to arrange for those features in a hurry. Then on the Fourth, at the hour for the exercises to begin, it is alleged that the chairman had failed to prepare any sort of a program. However, even this was arranged and the fun started. But when the speechmaking began it appeared that there were others who claimed the honors. George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, presided, and Alderman John McKee, Counselor E. A. Johnson, Miss Grace P. Campbell, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, Captain H. H. Blunt and J. M. Royall spoke. The alderman, it is said, declared that he had exerted himself largely for the success of the exercises, and likewise, it is said, did the chairman claim responsibility. However that may be, the moving picture operator had been provided with United Civic League ammunition and he proceeded to show a large and striking picture of President Royall, followed by the tablet and memorial of the league with its slogan and mottos. The exercises continued until 11 p. 1a, and it is claimed that about 3,000 people were present. THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1918. The 15th Infantry, the recently organized colored regiment of National Guardsmen, of which Public Service Commissioner William Hayward is colonel, has recruited 425 men since it was organized, two weeks and a half ago.

Only 20 per cent, of the applicants, according to examining surgeons, have been rejected in spite of the most rigorous tests. According to present plans one battalion of the 15th will be recruited in Brooklyn, one in Haflem and another in Manhattan and the Bronx. Recruiting stations have been established at Lafayette Hall, Seventh avenue and 132d street, where the organization drills nightly, and at Dean street and Rochester avenue, Brooklyn.

COMMUNITY IDEA WINS AID OF WEALTHY WHITES (Special to THE NEW York Age.) WALESBORO, N. C.-Publication in last week's issue of TIME Act, telling of the big project launched by well-known Negroes of the North and South to establish a unique community in the mountains of North Carolina has occasioned widespread interest. John T. Patrick, a wealthy and influential white citizen of Wadesboro, has offered to act as advisor and consultant, promising to assist the promoters in every way possible. Mr. Patrick built Southern Pines, the great winter resort, and has been a strong factor in many other town developments in North Carolina. Other white men of prominence in the State look upon the idea with favor. Plans for establishing this modern industrial center and health resort are extensive in scope, embracing all phases of community uplift, and progress. As stated in last week's issue of THE AGE, the promoters have at hand money for the purchase of four thousand acres of land. PADUCAH HAS LOCAL (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.)

The funeral procession and services were most imposing in all of their features. Secretary of War Baker and May, Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the army, joined the procession on its way to Arlington and were present when the six bodies were lowered into their graves. Thousands were gathered at Union Station when the funeral train arrived Friday morning. The procession moved up Pennsylvania avenue promptly at 8 o'clock under military escort and accompanied by fifty automobiles occupied by prominent colored men and women. These civilians were under the immediate control of Dr. A. M.

TEACHERS TO, HOLD NATIONAL GATHERING (Special to THE NEW YORK ACAI) NASHVILLE, Tenn.—This city is to be the headquarters this summer for the National Association for Teachers in Colored Schools, which will meet July 26. An elaborate program is under way, as well as plans for trains, lodgings and special outing or sightseeing, which always accompany the meeting of this organization in large cities. "I don't see," said John Hope, president of the association and president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., "why shouldn't me the biggest meeting in our history. You see, Nashville is located just right. It is near neighbor to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas; indeed, is handy to the South generally, and at the same time near the North." "Moreover," Mr. Hope pointed out, "the time and place are happily combined this year in that Nashville is right on the road to Kansas City, Mo., where the business League and several other big conventions are to meet President George W. Bush, I P.R. Lee, W.T. B. Willingham and others are trying to arrange their sessions so that teachers and others making the trip west can stop over, attend meetings of the association, see Nashville, and go to Kansas in time for the convention to be held there.

NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. :: :: :: PRICE FIVE CENTS NEW HAVEN'S LABOR PROBLEM Southern Negro Laborers Being Used by the New Haven System. ABNORMAL LABOR SHORTAGE European Reservists Called Home to Fight Left a Dearth of Labor, Intensified Later by Strikes and Other Opportunities. HOW PROBLEM WAS SOLVED New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co., has Brought One Hundred Negroes to Connecticut and Puts Them on Construction Work-Free Food and Shelter for Two Months. (Special to The New York Age) WATERBURY, CONN.-The abnormal labor shortage of the last seven months has fallen heavily upon the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co., particularly in the departments of Transportation and Maintenance of Way. An experiment for the solving of this problem has been begun by the company with the importation of one hundred Negro laborers from Nortlock, Va., who have been put on construction work. At the outbreak of the European War Austen called home its reservoirs who, with the Italians called to the colors some time later, had finally ousted the Irish as the "section hand" and excavator of the North. Their places were only recently partly filled by Southern Negroes. The unusual and sudden enlargement of the New England fire arm and munition industry; the great increase in the Massachusetts shoe products to supply European soldiers footwear, which opened a lucrative field to the novice; the unprecedented for fear of borers at unheard of wages; the new opening of summer hotels (long closed); to house tourists kept away from Europe by the war, permit of such a variety of choice or employment as to create a veritable labor aristocracy in New England. They now employ employment agencies, "hard put" to fill the requests for even the choice jobs, were finally forced to send out the saloon "hangers-on" and "riff-raff," who regard honest work as a crime, vagrancy a virtue and bad whisky their prime necessity; and who a year ago, they wouldn't have permitted to enter their offices. Handicapped by Strikes. Since last November, beginning with the great South Boston decks strike, the New Haven system has been handicapped by strikes, walkouts and the like. Coming at a time when the abnormal freight traffic forced the "embargo" in eastern territory, the system had to bear unfounded for expense, and waste, as the strikers' and quitters' places had to be filled by "strikebreakers" assaying 90 per cent, mendicant. Then to prevent the usual coal shortage of the fall and winter, the New Haven system decided to utilize its vast vacant tract at Holbrook, Mass., to store 500,000 tons of coal. The best it could get was the same mendicant labor. These vagrants worked an average of on week at a time, returning only when that week's wages had gone for drink. The result was that on June 20 strings of coal cars were strung out from South Boston to Holbrook, aggregating twelve miles of blocked track. - Negro Labor Saving Problem. Economists and sociologists have long regarded the Southern Negro laborers as thoroughly competent and available for the Northern field. Only recently, the New Republic, in a lengthy editorial on "Negro Migration," laid great stress upon the eventual solution of the race problem by northern migration of southern Negroes in large numbers to fill the places left vacant through stoppage of immigration and recall of foreign subjects to their colors. On July 15, one hundred southern Negroes reached New Haven from Norfolk. They were divided into two groups, one going to Berlin Junction; the other coming to Waterbury. Both groups are now on construction work. They are in good physical condition, seem to be contented with their prosthetics, were ready for work the next morning after their arrival despite their long, tiring trip. The duration of their employment rests solely with them. They can remain permanently. The only stipulation is that they must remain sixty days during which time the New Haven Company will shelter and supply them with food. After that time, if they remain, they are to shelter themselves. If not, they will be returned home by the company. Vagrant laborers having no economic or other necessities save air, of which they are not conscious, are more expensive that profitable. It is hoped that more of the Negro laborers will come north and remain. Now is the oppotune time. The Negro does not belong to the vagrant class. If he works steadily the employer will welcome his labor. This is a nabormal time in the industrial world. Prejudice was a product of normal times. morning, by the memorial service, he held at the John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore, "in honor of the brave colored troops of the Tenth United States Cavaliers who were the first to sacrifice their lives in the Mexican crisis at Corral." The invitation which I have just received expresses appropriately the sentiments of honor which should be shown to the memory of these men who have sacrificed for their country and humanity their lives, and I trust the effect of this memorial service will be to inspire in the minds of all who attend it admiration for the patriotism, loyalty and courage of these men of the American Army who have met the supreme test of the soldier's career and laid down their lives in a contest where, outnumbered and surrounded, the traditional valor of the American soldiers was splendidly maintained. It is a matter of common grief to us all that these lives had to be sacrificed, but the influence of the example of officers and men in that encounter will be long felt in the country, and the Army of which they were a part will old their performance to its great record. Meeting Adopts Resolutions. By a unanimous vote at the conclusion of the program, the vast assistance voiced its sentiment in the following resolutions: WHEREAS The Nation-at-large was shocked and grieved when it learned through the War Department of our government, that the proppers of Troops C and K of the 10th United States Cavalry, numbering about eighty-four men, had been ambushed at Sarrizal, Mexico, by an overwhelmingly larger force of Mexicans. AND WHEREAS, As the result of that conflict, twenty-three gallant Negro troopers fell dead upon the battlefield from the bullets of the enemy, and with them their equally brave and gallant commanders, Captain Boyd and Lieutenant Adair. AND WHEREAS This uneven conflict by reason of the great disparity in numbers and in advantages, nevertheless the gallantry, heroism, bravery and patriotism as displayed by these martyrs to maintain the prestige of the nation and the honor of the flag were of such a character as to attract universal admiration from friends as well as from foes who have deferred that there has never been a "fier bit of heroism in all the annals of warfare than the desperate fight against overwhelming odds which Troops C and K made at Carrival" Therefore be it. RESOLVED. That as a Nation, we bow with uncovered heads at the open graves of these gallant patriots and their commanders and crave the honor which is ours to place wreaths of flowers. GREEDLED SECOND. That In the 10th sacrifice of these patriots our nation has received a new impetus to patriotism from the Negro troopers who faced death with smile and songs on their lips, as they went before God to render an account of their stewardship. RESOLVED. FURTHER. That the Negro citizens of the United States, of whom these brave troopers were a part, feel justly proud of the bravery and fighting, qualities of these members of their race as attested by Captain Morey in his report to General Pershing. RESOLVED FURTHER. That a race of men capable of such affection for their commanders and patriotism for their country should deserve more at the hands of this nation and the white people of this country than they generally receive. RESOLVED FURTHER. That we record with the profoundest pleasure the decision of the War Department to bury these black troops who fell in conflict with martial honors alongside white commanders in Arlington, the National Cemetery.

Colored Americans, who, from morning to night complain of their racial identity, and who labor under the false impression that you can get anything you want in America if you possess a white face and a political pull, ought to follow closely the compulsory retirement of Colonel Conley and Lieut.-Colonel Phelan of the Sixty-ninth Regiment. The Age should like to see all colored regiments officered by Negroes from Colonel down. We believe in Negro leadership; but we put merit and fitness above partisan sentiment. Negroes who aspire to be officers should be made to stand the usual mental and physical tests to which white men are subjected. In vital matters of this kind we do not seek charitable consideration. All we ask is fair play. The Age is unalterably opposed to the lowering of standards for anyone because of race or color. Colored men who can qualify as officers should take advantage of the opportunity now offered by the State of New York and join the Fifteenth Regiment. ANOTHER CONVENTION. ANOTHER CONVENTION. We were under the impression that all of the really important political conventions had already been held, but the following despatch tells us there was another of which we "wotted not." Chicago, July 12.—Members of the National Colored Democratic League, composed of nearly every State in the Union, are holding their quadrennial meeting here. Adam C. Patterson, of Oklahoma, was elected president. Resolutions endorsing the National Democratic ticket were adopted and plans made to take an active part in the campaign. It seems that we have somewhere heard the name of this Patterson before now; yet the courage of the man we have in mind, a man who hesitated to offend Southern sentiment by having his name go before the Senate for Register of the Treasury, does not tally with the courage of the man who is willing after four years of Woodrow Wilson to accept the presidency of a National Negro Democratic League. President Wilson's conception of our duty toward Mexico does not seem to take into consideration at all Mexico's attitude toward us. It's a poor golden rule that won't work both ways. Bryan in his speech before the Mutual Welfare League at Sing Sing prison said that patriotism is a mystery; patriotism is not the only national question that is a mystery to Bryan. In spite of the feeling against Germany, which the majority of Americans hold, nevertheless, every once in a while that country does something that compels admiration for her resourcefulness and courage. Germany is furnishing the only spectacular episodes of the war. VIEWS and REVIEWS AN INDICTMENT. the strongest arraignment of the Administration, which we have yet seen is contained in the following three years the Mexican Republic has been torn into the lyes of Americans and other aliens have been properties developed by American capital and entered or rendered non-productive; hands have to roam at will through the territory contiguous states and to seize, without punishment or without punishment, the property of Americans, while all of the United States, who ventured to remain in or to return there to protect their interests, have some cases barbarously taken, and the more been apprehended nor brought to justice should be tedious to recount instance after instance, atrocity after atrocity, to illustrate the true of the widespread conditions of lawlessness and have prevailed. During the past nine months in order of the United States along the lower Rio Grande into a state of constant apprehension and to frequent and sudden incursions into American territories and murders on American soil by Mexican men the lives and destroyed the property of Americans carrying American citizens across the inland with the booty seized. American garrisons have been attacked at night, killed and their equipment and horses stolen, have been raided, property stolen, and destroyed in wrecked and plundered. The attacks on Belle Ferry, Progreso Post Office and Las Peladas, during September last, are typical in these attacks. Carranzista adherents and even Carranzista in the looting, burning and killing. Not only characterized by ruthless brutality, but uncivilized were perpetrated. Representations were made, and he was emphatically requested to stop the acts in a section which he has long claimed to be domination of his authority." Words are not taken from a speech or an artifact or Hughes. They are taken from the Wilson to Carranza after the Carrizal affair, was, of course, to indict Carranza and the fact it is a stronger indictment of President Juan Government. It is difficult to understand Administration did not see this. Republican campaign document, nothing be- The strongest arraignment of the Administration's Mexican policy which we have yet seen is contained in the following words "For three years the Mexican Republic has been torn with civil strife, the lives of Americans and other aliens have been sacrificed, vast properties developed by American capital and enterprise have been destroyed or rendered non-productive; bandits have been permitted to roam at will through the territory contiguous to the United States and to seize, without punishment or without effective attempt at punishment, the property of Americans, while the lives of citizens of the United States, who ventured to remain in Mexican territory or to return there to protect their interests, have been taken, in some cases barbarously taken, and the murderers have neither been apprehended nor brought to justice. "It would be tedious to record instance after instance, outrage after outrage, atrocity after atrocity, to illustrate the true nature and extent of the widespread conditions of lawlessness and violence which have prevailed. During the past nine months in particular, the frontier of the United States along the lower Rio Grande has been thrown into a state of constant apprehension and turmoil because of frequent and sudden incursions into American territory and depredations and murders on American soil by Mexican bandits, who have taken the lives and destroyed the property of American citizens, sometimes carrying American citizens across the international boundary with the booty seized. "American garrisons have been attacked at night, American soldiers killed and their equipment and horses stolen. American ranches have been raided, property stolen, and destroyed and American trains wrecked and plundered. The attacks on Brownsville, Red House Ferry, Progreso Post Office and Las Peladas, all occurring during September last, are typical in these attacks on American territory. Carranzista adherents and even Carranzista soldiers took part in the looting, burning and killing. Not only were these murders characterized by ruthless brutality, but uncivilized acts of mutilation were perpetrated. Representations were made to General Carranza, and he was emphatically requested to stop these reprehensible acts in a section which he has long claimed to be under the complete domination of his authority." These words are not taken from a speech or an article by Roosevelt or Root or Hughes. They are taken from the note sent by President Wilson to Carranza after the Carrizal affair. The intent of the note was, of course, to indict Carranza and the de facto government, but it is a stronger indictment of President Wilson and the American Government. It is difficult to understand how the Washington Administration did not see this. As a Republican campaign document, nothing better could be devised. TWO WOODROWIAN SENTIMENTS nt Wilson in his Detroit speech had the Mexican situation: ar some men say that they want to help Mexic propose to help her is to overwhelm her with fo long way as well as the long way. After fighting we a nation full of justified suspicion. Thus you n. You would shut every door against you. President Wilson in his Detroit speech had the following to say on the Mexican situation: "I hear some men say that they want to help Mexico, and the way they propose to help her is to overwhelm her with force. That is the wrong way as well as the long way. After fighting them you would have a nation full of justified suspicion. Thus you would not help them. You would shut every door against you." "What makes Mexico suspicious is that she thinks we do not want to serve, but possess, her. And she has justification for these suspicions in the way some gentlemen have sought to exploit her possessions. "I will not serve these gentlemen, but I will serve all Americans by trying to serve Mexico herself. The way to establish our sovereignty is to respect hers." This sentiment might fit very well into the new "Wilson humanitarian theory" if it did not run contrary to the Wilson acts. But let that be as it may, what we should like to know is, who elected Woodrow Wilson to serve Mexico? Or when did he receive even so much as a request for his services from the Mexicans themselves? President Wilson is loudly preaching the doctrine that it is his personal mission and the mission of the United States to set up (purely by moral force) a truly representative government in Mexico, one in which the Mexican peon will be freed from all forms of oppression and will receive his every right. We would respectfully call Mr. Wilson's attention to the Alabama peon and the Texas lynch-law victims and to the millions who suffer brutal oppression in this country. Some of Mr. Wilson's moral force expended upon these conditions in the country of which he is president; would bring about some actual results. This Detroit speech was made before the World's Salesmanship Congress: in other words, the President was addressing a national gathering of American drummers. He concluded his address by giving these knights of the road the following charge: "Lift up your eyes to the horizons of business. Do not look too closely at the little processes with which you are concerned, but let your thoughts and your imaginations fun abroad throughout the whole world, and with inspiration of the thought that you are Americans and are meant to carry liberty and justice and the principles of humanity wherever you go, go out and sell goods that will make the world more comfortable and more happy and convert them to the principles of America." These words were spoken to the men whose business it is to go over the world and sell American typewriters and American washboards and American hams; yet they are not to look too closely at these "little processes," but to let their thoughts and imaginations run abroad throughout the whole world, with the inspiration of the thought that they are Americans and meant, to carry liberty and justice and the principles of humanity wherever they go; their purpose in selling goods is not to enlarge the market for American manufacturers and make money for their American employers, but to make the world more comfortable and happy and convert it (instead of "them") to the principles of America. We are perfectly willing to bet a good American dollar to a Mexican peso that any drummer who follows that advice will lose his job within ninety days. Here again we have the President emphasizing what he seems to consider the special and sacred mission of the United States. Nothing but words, words, words! Vain and empty words! The act of Woodrow Wilson ordaining American drummers to go out and preach to the world liberty and justice and the principles of humanity is enough to make the last victim of American brutality gather together his charred ashes which the winds have scattered about Waco, and go to haunt the corridors of the White House. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. Two recent numbers of The articles on the economic condition opportunity opened to the race in of European immigration by the p. In both these articles it is p. the Negro has had to choose be civil rights, and the cliance to make choice of living in the South, whil lical and civil rights, but when tunities for earning a livelihood; his rights as a man and a citizen a his chances to gain a living are m of competition.

It will also have the effect of when Southerners find Negro lab profitable and permanent employ compelled to make inducements ducements would naturally mean. There is still another phase, p. four, five million self-supporting the states where their votes would give to the race that political pow have if it would demand its right. Two recent numbers of The New Republic contain thoughtful articles on the economic condition of the Negro and the industrial opportunity opened to the race in the North through the cutting off of European immigration by the great war. In both these articles it is pointed out that since the Civil War the Negro has had to choose between a modicum of political and civil rights, and the cliance to make a living. That is, he has had the choice of living in the South, where he is deprived of nearly all political and civil rights, but where he has almost unlimited opportunities for earning a livelihood; and of living in the North, where his rights as a man and a citizen are not so circumscribed, but where his chances to gain a living are narrowed down by the fiercest kind of competition. The cutting off of European immigration has reduced this competition; and, already, colored men are being secured in large numbers to fill the places in the North heretofore held by foreign white labor. Agencies all over the South are sending them up in batches of from one hundred to five hundred for employment on the big Northern railroads and on public works. If this movement continues and is successful, it will have tremendous bearing on the race question in this country. If colored men can get and hold a large share of that field of labor which was once held by the Irish, and is now held by Italians, Greeks and other South Europeans, the race will have a solid economic foundation here in the North on which to stand, a foundation which is absolutely necessary. It will mean that more colored people will be able to live under free government and, at the same time, have the steady means of earning a living. It will also have the effect of bettering conditions in the South; when Southerners find Negro laborers leaving in large numbers for profitable and permanent employment in the North, they will be compelled to make inducements to keep them at home. These inducements would naturally mean better wages and better treatment. There is still another phase, perhaps the most important: three, four, five million self-supporting colored people scattered through the states where their votes would count and be counted, will finally give to the race that political power which it is necessary for it to have if it would demand its rights rather than plead for them. We venture to say that Banquo's ghost never troubled Macbeth one-half so much as this reported resurrection of Villa troubles Wilson. The Age is the only paper that has the temerity to demand a new order of things for the colored voter, especially at this time. There is no need of being delicate in this matter. You must strike hard or not at all. OLIVER JENKINS, Barring an unexpected death, the 5th of next March will be noteworthy, for the reason that on that date the country will have three living ex-Presidents. It is strange to notice the solicitude of the present Administration for the welfare of oppressed people who are a long way from the U.S.; for natives of the Philippines and natives of Mexico, while the welfare of one-half the natives of the Southern states does not concern it at all. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY POLITICAL LEADERSHIP An Age Reader Gives Editor Piece of Advice—Says Knockout Punch Is Necessary to Create New Conditions. To the Editor of The Age: I notice in The New York Age of July 13, that your Washington correspondent comments none too friendly on Negro leadership, saying that the rank and file of colored voters have tired of political leaders of the past and are clamoring for new and capable leadership. Being of the rank and file I admit what your correspondent says is true. But as a well-wisher of The Age and one who wants to see strong leaders at the political helm, I am going to give you a piece of friendly advice, and that is, you are not going to change conditions by dealing in generalities. A light tap is not going to do when a knockout punch is necessary. What The Age must do if it really wants to perform a great service to the Negro is stop being ultra conservative for once in its long career and sall names. Tell the public who the weak leaders are and give their records. Take up the political situation in New York and show the public why no Negro has been put in office by Mayor Mitchel. I know The Age is a deep dyed-in-the-wool Republican paper, but I do not believe you will put party above race. Let the people know that it is not so much the fault of white men as it is colored men that Negroes have been ignored by the Republican State administration.

It is strange how a few Negroes are so hard to convince that the Democrat party has nothing in common for Negroes to do. It is ludicrous to see the democratic Negroes struggling to keep in line with the party, after the party had given them to understand that Negroes were not factors to be reckoned with. Mr Wilson has said, about the American-American, and the hyphenated Americans, and others he deceived to be divided in regard to our citizenry. He has denounced the foremer for evidencing his love of the fatherland and exhibiting sympathy for his mother in her struggles, but Mr. Wilson has never deferred to say a word of the loyalty of the Negroes of the United States. If he has ever thanked the hundreds of thousands of the race that locked to the democra standard and helped to close him President, it was done in a sort of a desultory way, and no one believed he was sincere. Mr Wilson in his policy of "watchful waiting" in the Mexican middle has shown an entire collection of fortune hunting adventurers calling themselves Americans that he has in the millions of real Afro-American who were really loyal to the flag and paying taxes to maintain and pay taxes to the American citizenship. And even yet the Associated Press tells us that the Democratic Negro League met in Boston and endorsed itself an absolute rejection of the Negro, opposed to his recognition as a man, and a citizen, opposed to his progress, opposed to his color, opposed to his political rights and, in fact, opposed to the Negro living among white people, yet really denying him the right to get off to himself. These Democratic Negroes may be real Democrats, but they lack the political astuteness of the real white Democrat who only plebs his support where his individual interest is conserved. It ought to be very patent to every Negro by this time that Mr Wilson is not the Negro's friend; that he willinly join hands with the rabid Negro-hating crowd in Congress in humiliating and segregating the Negro, in fact, that he feels that the Negroes have no rights that he as President ought to respect. That he is particularly narrow, that he can't even recognize the Negro as a factor in politics under a Democratic administration four years ago, while hundreds of been recurrent to the trust imposed upon it, so far as the Negro's lest was concerned. It may have slept at the switch and by its passiveness allowed so many of these prescriptive laws to get on the statute books of the various states in the South. Some-of BGS, PLACE AND DATE.

(Wives' Association, Pittsburgh Boyd faction), Kansas City, Mo. the so-called lily-whitees may have assisted in really running the Negro out of the party, but after all, what real assurance of actual recognition is held out in any other party? The argument that the Republican platform does not specifically offer special inducement to Negroes is not to be laid at the door of the committee on resolutions, for of the hundreds of so-called Negro leaders on the grounds, most of them were so engrossed in their personal affairs and looking after their own interests, that after meeting and speech making, etc, they wended their way home and forgot about the meeting of the committee on platform and resolution. And again, what inducement had the committee to hold out to the race a ray of hope. Had not hundreds of the islands of them trailed after the Bull Moose, four years ago, while hundreds of thousands more flopped over to the Democratic counter in quest of plig. The committee did exactly right, and ought to be commended for its action. We are not in favor of constantly keeping the sugar text to the Negro's mouth. If he is a man, let him show his full growth by exercising real manhood and common sense. REV. E. M. ARGYLE. CHIEF THANKS RED CAPS. To the Editor of THE AGE: Permit me, through your valuable medium, to express my sincere thanks to the station porters of the Pennsylvania Terminal Station for responding so nobly to the cause of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. Fully four-tiths of these men are organization men who had already contributed through their various orders. But when I made the appeal for representation of the Pennsylvania Station porters their loyalty to the late leader of the race was manifested by contributing $75 to the fund. Yours respectfully; W H.

Revs. De Shields and Cumbs Exoner- ated. To the Editor of The Agr. Several weeks ago the Christian Recorder, official organ of the A. M. E. Church, published an article written by the Rev. T. H. Lawrence, of Glen Cove, alleging that the Rev. L. Walter de Shields, then the recording secretary of the New York annual conference, and pastor of the St. Peter's A. M. E. Church, Douglason, N. Y, was baptized by the Rev. S. H. V. Gumbs pastor of the Macdonaldia A. M. I. Church, Flushing, N. Y. The good elder tried to make it appear that the Rev. De Shields had intentionally violated the laws of the church, having been baptized twice. A committee waited on Bishop Evans Try- THE RUSSELL GIBSON DIME FUND FOR BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL M. C.

After a very careful and yet rigid investigation, they learned that the Rev De Shields never had been previously baptised. The report was submitted to the annual conference, and after a lengthy discussion, the report was approved, and a motion was put to the laws of church, the broken beacon ratified, but reprimanded for their misinterpretation. This would not have been published nor requested to be published, but it was in the Christian Recorder and the Western Christian Recorder, and has had such circulation that we deemed it best, since the reporter of the conference made no mention of our exegesis, to let the people know the true status and means of the case, and to place Rev. Ginsburg and myself in the proper light before the world and church. L. WALTER DE SHIELDS. Pastor St. Peter's A. M. E. Church Douglason, N. Y. Rev. Washington Denounces Statement 62.

To the Editor of THE AGE: I noticed in last week's issue of the New York Age a statement tending to discredit my successful pastorate of three years at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church of this city. It is evident that the statement was willfully made by an enemy of righteousness, of which there many in Saratoga. I hereby deny the statements as malicious lies of the devil. And now, Mr. Editor, I appeal to your honor to prohibit any further such statements from Saratoga appearing in THE AGE concerning me. Do not allow and statement from any one from Saratoga Springs to appear in print concerning me, except it is authorized by the Rev. Dr. L. U. A. Brooks, or Zon A. M. E. Church, this city.

That such a splendid exhibition of real, royal and race devotion as was evidenced by the gathering of delegates from all over the state should have escaped motion in your paper is deplorable. I need that the sacraments made by the splendid women who made this conference the most in its history should be at least recognized to the extent that their orders should not be hidden under a bushel. From beginning to end, perfect harmony remained in our mind, and the women present actually thought, acted in total one woman. In addition to that, I want to say that the department, the delegates during their stay in Poughkeepsie, as well as in and around the church, was most dignified and keen in keeping with the high and keen for which this body has been organized. The addresses of Miss Grae I. Campbell, superintendent of the city, are frequently Shutter, New York City, Mrs. K. Burns, of Syracuse, N. Y., M. Vah Thoms, R. N., Lincoln Hospital, New York; Dr. V. Morton Jones, head worker, Lincoln Settlement House, Brooklyn; Mrs. Tillie Harden, of Poughkeepsie; Mrs. M. B. Gregory, superintendent of the Working Girl's Home, New York City, and Mrs. Charlotte Dett, of Niagara Falls; the physical culture demonstration by Mrs. Dora Cole Norman and the temperance symposium by Mrs. Sylvia Harris, all would have done credit to a national organization. The discussions of these subjects from the floor were both instructive and educational, proving, as nothing else can, that contact is the lever with which our women must be bred. The address on behalf of the citizens of Poughkeepsie by D. W. Wilbur, of that on behalf of the clubs by Mrs. M. I. Golden; and on behalf of the churches by the Rev. Clarence Van Beren, who all gave in their happiest vow, making us feel that we were glad to be the guests of the Poughkeepsie Neighborhood Club. As far as the actual accomplishments of the convention are concerned they transcended all former names. It established an Arts and Crafts department, offering a prize annually to the woman exhibiting the best sample of embroidery, hand painting, needlework, horticulture, etc., and a new industrial department was also added to the Federation for the encouragement of the young girls, eighty-five years old, in Poughkeepsie. The Empire Friendly Shelter was named as the object for which the Federation will work. In appreciation of the life work of the late Dr Booker T. Washington, the women contributed the sum of $25 towards the memorial fund raised throughout the country. They also remembered M. M. J. Smart, one of their charter members, whose physical breakdown has caused her to fall by the wayside, by contributor towards her support the sum of $10. I take this opportunity of thanking M. C.

TWO ANTI-LYNCHING BILLS ARE UNPOPULAR ANNAVA, Ga — Two anti-lynching messages have been introduced in the governor legislature, one by President G. Oden Persons in the Senate and another Representative Henry Fulbright in the House. Both bills provide that the sheriff who fails to protect a former from lynching or who, by negotiation, allows a lynching to be carried out in the county where he holds office, is removed from office by the Governor and is debarred from the right to hold office again. The Persons bill has been unfavorably reported by the Senate general committee, and it is probable that the bulldight bill will meet the time frame in the lower house. There is considerable sentiment in favor of the bills, but the reactionary element is strongly opposed. In support of his message President Persons calls it a "enforcing bill." He says it is his purpose to give the Governor the unactionable law, and then if it is his responsibility will all陪 him, Saul Dr. Persons says, "I believe before God and man that a sheriff should give his heir four he should give up his greater, and if he is not willing to do then he should not hold the office of sheriff." Supporting the bill, Senator H. A. Bolton of the Seventhenth said: "We will have lunch out of existence, one of the people is the voice of God, and there are certain crimes which people will not stand for. I deplore lunch out of existence. The flames have been tried to burn in recent cases by the authorities. We need this law. It will let's put it on our books, we can accomplish its work, we can renew it." Melancholy insisted that it was con- sidered to all principles of democracy therefore did by the people. Are to allow the Governor to ar- rangement to an officer elected by the without any right of appeal? Whether that the sheriff is just as his duty as the Governor, machinery to arbitrarily the bill is dearest, to is resolutely, to say it violates the right of human liberty and to not it mildly" insisted Senator C. M. Croary. "This bill is to rest in one man the right bury and remove another man without the right of appeal when the sher- er not a servant of the Governor, but the judge lynching is not due process of law, but neither would the provisions of this bill, if passed, be due process of law. The proposed remedy is worse than the disease." EX-HAITIAN CONSUL APPEALS FOR CASEMENT Miami, Fla.-Dr. Alonzo B. P, Holly, former consul for flaiti to the Bahamas, now a practicing physician in this city, is making an effort to save the life of Sir Roger Casement, the Irish patriot, under sentence of death in England. Dr. Holly has sent the following telegram to the editor of THE NEW York Ack, asking his cooperation: "Miami, Fla., June 30. "Editor The New York Age, New York:-Sir Roger Casement deserves the lasting gratitude of the Neo race for having been the first British officer to expose fearlessly the merciless attitude of the Gungo and about their coexistence. We would like to affirm the initiative of millions of grateful Norsems, some even now on the battlefields of Europe defending Belgium and request the British Ambassador to forward an urgent plea for the exercise of British clemency in favor of this benefactor to our race." The Miami Herald, a white democratic daily, has endorsed Dr. Holly's effort, and states that "Miami has cause to be glad that Dr. Holly, her most distinguished colored citizen, has taken the leading part in the movement. The contention in regard to Sir Roger Casement is correct and extremely well taken. * * * Moreover, it is stated on good authority that it was the effect of these (Congo) atrocities upon his mind which made Sir Roger so frantically opposed to the rule of England in Ireland."

WHITE.) first photo-play produced under its direction. The play, captioned “The Colered American Winning His Suit, was the product of the brain of the Rev. W. S. Smith, pastor of the Monumental Baptist Church, Jersey City, and a mem- ber of the producing company. The cast ‘was made up of young men and women ‘of the race from the homts of the best families of Jersey, many of the towns in the territory contiguous to Jerséy City being called upon to furnish talent. The scenes were laid principally in Virginia, and many of the pictures were actually made on Virginia soil. Others, where the proper locale could be found, were made in Jersey City and other nearby towns. In every case homes of members of the ‘race are used" fpr the scenes. By good fortune 1 was also possible to make some of the pictures, which related to that school. on the cam- pus of Howard University, with Preéi- dent Newman, Dean Miller and a num- ber of the students taking part. The Producers state that no attempt has beer: made at strong dramatic action for the reason that all the characters were en- acted by actors without previous train- ing or experience. And not even as “amateur performers had any of them| ever had screen training. The picture is developed’ with the idea of pvercom-, ing the effects of certain vicious photo plays which have created an antago- nistic propaganda against the race in the past few months, The showing of this first picture indicates that that object will undoubtedly be attained by the com- pany. One thing especially commendable about this production is to: be found in athe-fact that the names-used by thetom- pay and author have special signifi- cance, The name of Frederick Doug- lass carries its own significance. “Bob Winall is typical of the young Negro who by sacrifice and hard struggle wrings success out vi seeming defeat. “Jim Sample” rs a clean-cut type of young fellow making good in business under favorable circumstances. "Col. Goodwill” represents the white man, North or South, ready and: walling to lend a helping hand to the deserving Negro, while "Mr. Hinder-Us" 15 a good representative of the opposite class of white man, Under the conditions operating in the making of the picture, special comment is due to the work of Thomas M. Mosely as Bob H'mall, Mrs, Ida Askins as Alma Elton, Miss Minme Smith as ‘Almas mother, and Miss,Florense Sneed as Bessir Winall, the hero's sister. All of the other characters were good and really deservang of special comment, bit the greater importance of the'play as an embodiment of the.ideals set forth by the company it necessary to give less space torindiidual accomplishment <o that more can be said about the play itself. In brief, the story treats of the career pf Bob Winall, born on an humble Wir- ginia farm, His father, after the war. had rented from his former master the farm he had cultivated as a slave. Bob and Bessie were born in this lowly en- vironment. Prosperity follows hard labor and Bob's father in later years buys his former master’s old homestead. Bob and Bessie are sent to school, the girl to Spelman Seminary; Atlanta, Ga, and the boy to Howard University. Graduating as a lawyer four years later, Rob returns home. Ressie, returning from Spelman, brings her school chums and roommate, Alma Elton, to her home for the vacation, ‘The’ inevitable hap- pens. Bob and Alma fall in love with cach other At Upton Va., Almo's home, she has been elected as principal of the high school and she is catled home fo take up her duties, Her par- ents, in the meantime, have heen con- sidering Sampie, son of a wealthy farmer and himself a successful con- tractor, as a favorable suitor for Alma’ s hand. On her return home a reception is planned for her at which she meets Sample, and he begins to pay snit to her. Rob wants to enter a larger field and iecides ta ga to Upton Rut at her mother's dictation 41ma advices Rab nat to do so." Their opposition anly intensi- fied Bob's determination and he gare to Watam end ett “line hncwinioe: opens a law .offce, So she is surprise: when, with the young contractor, she passes that, way and discovers Bab sign, Later’he calls on Atma and tind: out why she has grown cold to hin although she loves him, She feels it hes duty tv ubey her parents. But after re- turning his ring she recants and, meet- ing hun by appointment, offers to elope with him, Bob refuses to marry her without her parents’ consent. So she becomes engaged to Sample. cllma's father is“engaged in the ex- press business, and has been a successful rival to Mr, Hindcrus, a’ white man also conducting an express business, Wher a valuable nocklace is lost from one of Elton's wagons, Hinderus makes use of the opportunity, through his influence, to have Elton accused of stealing the pack- age. The colored man is arrested and his wife has difficulty in securing any of the white lawyers to defend him. As a last resort’she has to apply to Bob Winall, who takes the case. The young colored lawyer calls on Col. Goodwill, who was Elton's friend, and who had started him in business. Bond is ar- ranged for the expressman, and detec- tives are engaged to locate, if possible, the lost necklace. Eventually it is dis- covered’ that children playing in the street had found the necklace and, with- out realizing its value, had been using it as decoration for a doll. The production of the necklace in court at the last minate results in the acquittal of the accused, Of course, the successful ter- mination of the case meant also the suc- cessful termination of Bob's fight for Alma's hand in marriage.

Jack White. the peerless 133-1b, cul: ored champion of New York, has com- menced training since the ban has been Fated and ss cnen to meet any man an the world at his weight. Whife 1s one of the best two-handed fighters at his weight in the world, and knows every inch of the fighting. He 1s also a ter- rific hitter, and the fight ians can be assured that any one that meets him will have to fight because White don't know what it is to Stop once he gets started . Last week in this paper I stated that Lon Williams, of Savannah, Ga., was a lightweight, but he is a welterweight— 145 pounds. The ban has been lifted and several mixed bouts have been fought and up to the present time the colored fighter has more than held his own against his white opponent, much to the surprise of ‘not only the white fioht fans but many of the colored ones, too. . I attended a recent boxing contest at a local club and was much disgusted at the attitude of the colored fight fan toward his own color. [ heard several of them, talking to white fight fans, say that he (talking about his own color) has not a chance with that white fighter and he cannot fight. Now, you can at- tend all of the mixed bouts as long as they are legal, and Tam spre’ you will never hear a white man tell a colored man; that about his race So, colored meri that attend these contests, please be loyal to your race and applaud them and also speak encouraging remarks to them when they are fighting, just the same as the whites do. because you can- not say that the colored fighter has not made good. Since the ban hac been lifted he has engaged in about eighteen battles in all classes, and has not sui- fered but three defeats, and 1 think that is a grand record. Our boys need more encouragement than their white oppo- nents becanse they have the worst of it in weight and several other wave beiure going in the ring, So let us go to the bouts to root for our boys just as hard as our white friends do, Eddie Dorsey. crack lightweight of Philadelphia, will box his first_-mixed bout since the ban-has been lifted, on Thursday, July 20, at the Clermont A, C, Atlantic and Vanderbilt avenues, Brooklyn, where he meets Mel Coogan, the Brooklys idol, in the star bout of the evening.

Each solicitor will have a temporary receipt which will be handed to the members, perding the official acknowledgment from the treasurer of Babies' Temporary Shelter Opened. A temporary shelter for babies whose mothers must go out each day to work has been opened at the Lincoln House, 202 West 63rd street, under the supervision of Miss Arnold of the Association of Day Nursers, and the Henry Street Settlement, of which Miss Lillian D. Wald is superintendent. The nursery was opened July 1, and two competent graduate nurses from the Lincoln Nurses' Home, West 135th street, are in charge. Miss L. Moore and Miss A. M. Dufan are the nurses and they are on duty each day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. which are the hours during which the babies are cared for. Mothers who go out to work leave their babies in the morning and call for them in the evening. The babies are cared for, examined daily by a physician, from the Board of Health, and furnished with pasteurized milk. The only charge is 10 cents daily. Where mothers have nursing babies and can come in and nurse them the charge is only five cents per day. The Babies' Welfare Association is interested in the work and parents are urged to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the opening of this nursery to secure care and attention for their babies. This is especially important at this time when the dreadful infantile period is waiting such ruthless damage to babies of the city. Utopia Fashion Parade and Dance.

DOCK FOREMAN KILLED IN HOME FOR HIS MONEY Simpson Burney, 50 years old, was found murdered in his apartment at 1524 Bergen street, early Sunday morning. According to the testimony of Mrs. Lucy Williams, occupant of an apartment at the same number, Burney was killed by Edward Richards, 36 years old, living at 647 Bergen street. Burney's family was away, being on a visit to their old southern home, and he was alone in the apartment. It is said that he had been working as foreman of hands on the South Side docks and his employer usually entrusted him with money to pay off the hands. It was supposed that he had a considerable sum in his possession and that this was the motive for the crime. The failure of Burney to appear at the docks on Saturday caused his employers to make an investigation on Sunday morning. James Riley, 6 Central place, a friend of Burneys, went to the Bergen street apartment looking for him and was informed by Mrs. Williams that she had heard sounds of a struggle in the Burney apartment about 5:30 Saturday morning and had seen Richards go down the stairs after that time. Riley immediately notified Captain Carey, of the Seventh Branch, who led a squad of detectives to the place and forced an entrance. Burney was found with his throat cut from ear to ear, his head almost severed from the body. A file in his hand showed that he had made an effort to defend himself and accounted for the struggle heard by Mrs. Williams. She was detained as a witness. The apartment was in disorder, having been thoroughly ransacked and all money and valuable papers taken. Richards was taken before Magistrate Miquequire on Monday and held without ban on a charge of homicide.
