No.15 KLANISM NOW MAY BE SPREAD AMONG COLORED PEOPLE (Special to The Tribune) The Ku Klux Klan seemed to be playing "both sides for the middle" according to a recent report from Kansas City. The strange incident in the operation of this organization is an effort on the part of the Klan to enlist the real active support of Negroes in its propaganda against the Catholics and the Jews. The public, knowing of the Klan which is to oppose the progress of the Negroes, drive out the Catholics, and persecute the Jews, had to rub its eyes, prick the ears and steady its thoughts when the news was spreading over Kansas City that the Klan had made a strong bid for Negro support. And not until letters were exhibited which had been sent to the Negro ministers would any one believe it. The following letter was received by several Negro ministers on Sunday morning: June 4, 1922. To the Pastor and Congregation: "Your people are vitally interested in the problems of today as are your white brethren. Will you supinely submit to foreign religious, political domination or will you awake to the menace and stand shoulder to shoulder with your white brethren—offering a united front to the common enemy. "The constitution of these United States gives to every man the right to worship God as he may see fit, but does not delegate to any sect or creed the right to enforce their belief on another. As members of Protestant churches you are protectors before the world against certain religious practices. And this organization (the most powerful secret institution in the world) is zealously standing guard over American institutions and ideals. We have had no quarrel with the colored man he is American and as such has the support of American citizens and we are ever ready to assist him in his lawful pursuits of happiness." We realize your problems and view with favor the great work you are doing in uplifting your people and in recognition of your efforts we are enclosing with this letter a contribution to be used as you may see fit. Faithfully yours, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Briefly stated this astounding reversal of policy was made manifest on Sunday when a white man unknown to each pastor, except in one instance presented an enclosed letter and departed without explanation. The churches visited were Mason Memorial of which Rev. P. A. Morrow is pastor; First Baptist, Rev. W. A. Bowren, pastor; Mt. Zion Rev. Moses Williams, pastor; Eighth Street Baptist, Rev. D. B. Jackson pastor; Pleasant Green, Rev. Geo. McNeal, pastor; St. Peters C. M. E. church, Rev. Bowers, pastor; King Solomon, Rev. Clay, pastor; Walnut Boulevard, Rev. Richardson pastor, and Douglass Hospital, which is Methodist. They were given ten dollars each, and the hospital twenty-five dollars. In each case the letters were opened after the visitors were gone. The disposition of the money then became the problem. Rev. Moses Williams was out of the city and in his case the money was held by the officers awaiting his decision. Rev. McNeal's envelope was handed him on the street by a prominent doctor whom he recognized. Rev. D. B. Jackson refused an interview to The Call, saying what was said in the Kansas, the daily paper of Kansas City, Kansas, was all. However, that statement said his church had turned the money over to the Orphan Home. The Orphan Home through Miss Emma Pendleton, secretary, Mrs. Wilhite and Mrs. G. B. Buster, treasurer, say they did not receive the money and would not take it coming from the Klan, under any circumstances. COLORED SHRINERS WIN LEGAL BATTLE IN STATE OF FLORIDA (Special to The Tribune) JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 30.—What has sent a thrill of triumph through the hearts of Attorney D. W. Perkins, legal adviser for the Masonic fraternity of the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of the state of Florida, and the 20 or more thousand who pay allegiance to that jurisdiction handed down in the circuit court in the city of Tampa on the 5th of this month, wherein the temple of the Mystic Shriners, white had sued out a writ of injunction, restraining all colored men in Florida from using the name, insignia, paraphernalia, words, costumes, etc., of the Ancient Arabic Mystic Shriners. Arguments were made before Judge Robles of Tampa, who holds the reputation of being one of the fairest judges that ever set in any court in this state. The case was fought hard, and every assault made by the opposition was smashed by Attorney Perkins, and Judge Robles gave his decision, denying the injunction. This is the first time white Shriners have attempted to interfere with colored Shriners in this state, and their failure may not be the last of it. Attorney Perkins is being lionized over his great victory. The white press quickly published the entrance of this case, but so far, not one of them has had a word to say about the denial of the court to grant the injunction. Rev. Bowers said the money had been turned over to charity and again The Call representative found an absolute denial that any money had been received. The Douglass hospital treasurer, Rev. Isaacs, said that after attempting to return the $25 through the daily papers they had entrusted it to the mail hoping the sender could be found that way. Speaking for the Civic League, Dr. S. H. Thompson said that no action would be taken because the ministers had already done what they wished on their individual responsibility. At King Solomon church the letter was handed in just as Sunday school was adjourning and the messenger said "it is a notice which I would like for you to read to your church." At Walnut Boulevard Rev. Richardson noticed the visitor and welcomed him to a seat, but he left his envelope and departed immediately. The congregation, when it was read, voted unanimously for its return. Rev. Morrow's church through its officers voted to return the money. Rev. A. W. Davis of the Christian church was also approached, but his position was such that the matter went no further. A similar condition is reported concerning Rev. J. F. Griffin of the First Methodist church. Summing up the matter, the consensus of Kansas side opinion is that the Klan visit reflects the sentiment of the local membership which seeks to attach itself to the good will of colored people despite its constitution and tenents that it is a white man's organization, anti-Negro, anti-Catholic and anti-Jew. They believe the present activities of the Klan in Kansas City. Kansas were only a political scheme and that Klan members realized they had driven the colored man from them and that they are attempting to redeem themselves by this means; that they desired publicity, and sought it through this means. They even add, membership of the colored men is wanted, stating the only difference was that they would have to hold separate meetings. The letter itself, which is reproduced herewith, carries the insignia which used to terrify—the horseman in his white robe, and the firey cross, the "invisible empire" and yet addressed to Negroes, with the word "brethren" it seems entirely alien to the Klan that was strictly against the Negroes in other days.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1922 COURT ACTION IS BROUGHT AGAINST CHURCH TRUSTEES (Special to The Tribune) New York, June 30.—Bishop William H. Heard of the New York Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and Cain P. Cole presiding elder of the Long Island district, have applied to Justice Leander R. Faber in the supreme court to compel the trustees of St. Mark's A. M. E church at Elmhurst to open the doors of the church to the Rev. Henry Irons, who has been assigned to the church by the bishop. The assignment of the pastor to the church was made no May 28, and when he went there on May 29 the doors were locked against him. Justice Faber has reserved decision. This controversy, while primarily among the congregation of the African Methodist church, is vitally important to the entire business community of Elmhurst. St. Mark's church is on corona avenue, in the heart of the business section. It stands on a plot of about one acre. This acre was purchased by white residents of the Newtown district more than a century ago and presented to the congregation. It was valued then at only $87.32, according to deeds on file. Recently an offer of more than $75,000 was made to the congregation for the plot. While it has a frontage on the main business street, it also has frontage on the Long Island railroad and is very valuable for business or industry. The value of this plot is what is uppermost in the minds of those who are in this controversy. They want to know who is going to get that money. The present trustees want it and the New York annual conference would also like to have it. The business men of the district want the controversy settled so that some one with authority who will be recognized by the courts will be able to consider the offer made for the property. These business men would like to see the plot taken over and improved as a business or industrial property for the general benefit of the community. TUCSON PRINCIPAL LEAVES TO ATTEND SCHOOL ON COAST TUCSON PRINCIPAL LEAVES TO ATTEND SCHOOL ON COAST (Special to The Tribune) TUCSON, Ariz., June 30.—C. C. Simmons, principal of the P. L. Dunbar school, said to be the first Negro graduate of the University of Arizona, left Wednesday for Berkeley, Cal., where he will take a summer post-graduate course at the University of California. Mr. Simmons received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of Arizona this year. He has been identified for many years with efforts to raise the educational standards of his race. Passes to Reward Mrs. Fannie E. Day, wife of William Day, departed this life Sunday, June 25, at the family home, 1040 East Madison street. She had been seriously ill for fourteen days and was 53 years old at the time of her death. Mrs. Day had been a resident of Phoenix for more than thirteen years and was loved and respected by all. She was a member of the A. M. E. church and as a stewardess, did her share in helping the church. She leaves to mourn her loss, the husband, Mr. William Day, two daughters, Mrs. Roseine Brown of Los Angeles, Cal., Jeanette Day of Phoenix; two brothers, L. K. Wallace of Phoenix, and Wm. Wallace of St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Mary Wallace, sister-in-law, and Andrew Wallace, a nephew. Her many friends also will lose a dear departed soul. She is gone but not forgotten—asleep to wake in the great beyond. On to California Mrs. Laura Wells of 1129 Esat Washington street left Wednesday evening for the coast to spend her summer vacation. COLORED MAN WILL ENTER THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR IN OHIO (Special to The Tribune) CLEVELAND, Ohio. June 30.—Harry C. Smith, the well-known editor of the Cleveland Gazette, which has not missed an issue in 48 years, has entered the race for nomination on the republican ticket for governor of Ohio. Two years ago Mr. Smith filed for the nomination for secretary of state and rolled up the handsome vote of 62,000 which was only a few thousand behind the successful candidate. Encouraged by this fact and urged by loyal supporters and admirers throughout the state, Mr. Smith has announced his candidacy for governor, paid the required filing fee and has entered actively upon his campaign for the nomination at the August primaries. When it is known that the race vote in Ohio numbers 125,000 it can be readily seen that with anything like unanimity Mr. Smith stands an excellent chance of winning. He served acceptably as a member of the state legislature in the early nineties and is the author of Ohio's famous anti-lynching law and also of the effective civil rights bill of this state. He introduced the mob-violence and anti-lynching law in the session of 1894. He persistently fought for it until it was placed on the statute books. It has stood the test of the supreme court, and has proven effective. TEXAN DESCRIBES RECENT BURNING AT STAKE OF BLACKS INDICATES WHITE MEN, NOT NEGROES BURNED, WERE GUILTY OF ASSAULT Speaking at Thursday's meeting of the Thirteenth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in Bethany Baptist church, 269 Bank street, Newark, Daniel Kelly, white Texan from Waco told a dramatic story of the burning to death, by a mob, of innocent Negroes in Kirwin, Texas, on May 7, 1922. Mr. Kelly said in part: "Three Negroes were burned at the stake in Kirvin, Texas, May 7, 1922, for the alleged offense of brutally assaulting and killing a seventeen year old white girl, Eula Ausley. A week later I personally investigated this affair and found the facts to be as follows: "Between the family of John King, grandfather of Eula Ausley, and a neighboring family of Prowells there had been a bitter feud in which one of the King boys had been maimed and two Prowells driven from the country. "From the thicket where the girl's body was found foot tracks led to the Prowell's and the two Prowell boys disappeared while the posse was hunting for the perpetrators of the murder. After the burning of the Negroes the Prowells were arrested and later released when they explained that they had been making bran mash in the thicket. The truth of their story was not investigated and it was not ascertained whether the bran mash was there or not. John King said he was certain that white men were implicated in the crime. "Of the three Negroes burned the sheriff said that one was innocent in his opinion and the evidence shows that not more than three could have done the act although five were mobbed to death for it. "The sentiment of the people generally was that an 'example' had been made. it was of small consequence whether the Negroes were guilty or innocent." Mr. Kelly was sent to Texas by and made his investigation for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. and Mrs. Phil Green of 224 N. 11 th street left this week for the coast to remain for an indefinite time. SOUTH BEST PLACE FOR NEGROES SAYS NOTED JOURNALIST (Special to The Tribune) PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 30.—"I disdain the trained Negro who leaves the South. There is so much to be done in the southland to educate, elevate and better the conditions of our race. Strong educated men and women should stay in the South," declared Oscar W. Adams, editor and publisher of the Birmingham Reporter, in an address before a large audience at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church here last Monday night. Continuing he said, "The question of the future of the Negro in this country is largely in the hands of the Negro himself. Eighty per cent of the Negro population lives in the South; ninety per cent of Negro wealth is in the South. The greatest and most daring strides made by any Negro, were made by southern born Negroes. More and more this race needs to be welded together, not so much in race vanity and race pride as in race character, old fashion worth and downright merit. But it will never be done by pining, whining, croaking and cursing. "When both races become completely educated all disadvantages, injustices and limitations will be removed," declared because of ignorance. It is foolish to think for a moment that we can have a peaceful, happy, normal civilization with a half ignorant and a half intelligent group in either race. The ignorant of both races must be educated. "The day has long since passed," thundered Mr. Adams, "when race men and women should be satisfied to take an imaginary trip to heaven each Sunday under the leadership of their gradiloquent pastor. When the Ku Klux fight us with fire I declare that it is absolutely foolish for us to talk about fighting them with prayer. Brave men must be willing to fight them back with the same weapons; they must meet these masked and white robed marauders with shot and shell if we would protect our families and command respect." WHITE SUPREMACY IS A FALLACY SAYS ANTHROPOLOGIST WHITE SUPREMACY IS A FALLACY SAYS ANTHROPOLOGIST The white race is not superior to others, declared Dr. A. A. Goldenweiser, anthropologist, last night, in an address delivered before the 13th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Robert Treat School, Norfolk and 13th Avenue, Newark. Dr. Goldenweiser is a lecturer on anthropology at the new school for social research in New York City. "The evidence of anatomy and neurology so far available does not indicate any 'appreciable superiority' of the white race over the other races," he declared. "The psychological tests during the war to the contrary notwithstanding, the psychologist also fails to provide any definite data to support the contention of psychological inferiority of so-called primitive races including the Negro to the white. "In the domain of civilization it must of course, be admitted that other races, with the possible exception of the Mongolian, have not produced civilizations in all respects comparable to our own, and even the Mongolian does not qualify when science and industry are taken into consideration. But an insight into the characteristics of the historic process makes it more than doubtful whether any but purely historical cases need be invoked to account for the differences in the civilizations between different peoples. It must moreover, be remembered that in just those particulars in which white man is incomparably superior to primitive races he is also superior to the civilizations of the ancient world, such as those of Egypt. Greece or Rome. JURY OF BLACK MEN TRY CASE IN OHIO; FIRST ON RECORD JURY OF BLACK MEN TRY CASE IN OHIO; FIRST ON RECORD (Special to The Tribune) HAMILTON, Ohio, June 30.—What is believed to be the first case in the country, possibly the entire country ever tried before a jury composed entirely of colored people, began in Judge Clarence Murphy's court Friday morning. It was a paternity case brought by Clara Patterson, colored, of Middletown, against Charles Gates, colored, also of Middletown. The plaintiff is represented by Attorney John A. Crist of Middletown and P. P. Boll of Hamilton represents Gates. The situation is regarded unusual in court history. The regular petit jury was needed in a criminal case in Judge Harlan's court and in issuing a special venire to try this case, orders were given to summon colored people. Eighteen were called, six of whom were excused from service. The jury is composed entirely of men. On the jury are Charles Conway, Frank Hogan, Alfred Nixsn. Charles Howard, Frank Berry, George Kinley, Sam Lee, Horace Preston, George Reese, Alfred Mates B. M. Fox, Peff Hodges. All of the jurors are from Hamilton. It is the first time within the memory of present court officials that a jury in any case has been composed entirely of colored people. Lodge Notice "Hinder me not ye much loved saints for I must work for Tabor and the Household of Ruth while in this land. You hate me when I talk right, God knows your hearts are not right, but I am building up the Household of Ruth anyhow." "We dedicated the Golden Star Household of Ruth No. 5999, June 24, with Jesus being our leader. Oh that all men were Odd Fellows and Sir Knights and all women Daughters and Sisters of Ruth. This city in which we live would be better and our race would prosper by it. Yours in Christ for the work." Better Sabbath Keeping The subject for discussion at the Epworth League Sunday evening, July 2nd, will be: "Better Sabbath Keeping." Jer. 17:19-27. All invited to attend this meeting, especially young people. Meeting begins at 6:30 and closes at 7:30. The meeting of the league last Sunday evening was very well attended and the lesson beautifully discussed. C. M. E. church, corner Seventh street and Jefferson. "On its practical side, the problem of races and in particular the Negro race has two aspects; the present and future of the Negro in Africa, and the present and future of Negro populations eelsewhere, primarily in the United States. "There can be no question that the Negro civilizations of Africa will henceforth develop under the ever-increasing influence of white civilization. It will, however, be unfortunate if all specific tendencies, all local color characteristic of such civilizations, while furnishing these with the tools and advantages of the modern white world. "By far the most difficult aspect of the Negro problem refers to the Negro populations outside of Africa, primarily in the United States. There can be no question that complete legal emancipation is desirable, necessary, and will within the near future be attained. The social aspect, on the other hand, appears much more gloomy. Deep-rooted prejudice, supported by certain physical reactions and backed by historical tradition, cannot readily be dislodged. Here the work will be tedious, painful and prolonged. It will not be achieved without whole-hearted and self-sacrificing co-operation on the part of the white and the Negro alike. But if both groups assume their share of responsibility, their ultimate success in this domain also cannot be doubted." 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year PRIZE WINNERS IN TRIBUNE'S PICTURE PUZZLE CONTEST The Phoenix Tribune's Bee-Hive Picture Puzzle Contest which closed June 20, was the most successful in the history of this publication. Letters from every section of Arizona and from California, New York, Ohio, Alabama, Colorado, Texas and other states poured into our office and the three judges who decided the contest Mrs. Emma L. Porter Clayton, Mrs. Laura Wells and Attorney William E. Watkins, had a real "man's size" job on their hands. After several days careful work, they have submitted us the list of winners. We are sorry that we cannot offer more than the six prizes as others proved by the excellent lists sent in that they had given much time to the puzzle. There were 211 words in the picture beginning with the letter "b," according to the master list sent the judges. The largest number of correct words, 148, was sent in by C. W. Goodman, president of Nelson Shoe Company, 42 West Washington street. He is therefore, the winner of the first prize. The second largest list of correct words was sent in by Mrs. F. H. Lewis, 1004½ East Washington street and she wins the second prize. The third largest number was sent in by Mr. Julius H. Miller of Superior, Arizona, and he wins third prize. The fourth largest list was sent in by Mrs. J. Tannheill, 1729 East Jefferson street and she wins fourth prize. The fifth largest list was sent in by Mrs. Amelia Thompson, 112 South 7the street and she wins fifth prize. The sixth place was tied for by Mrs. C. C. Dotson, 1005 East Jefferson street and Mrs. Gertrude Jones, 1739 East Washington street, therefore this prize is divided equally between them. Those deserving honorable mention are, Mrs. Gertrude Hawkins, who had 97 correct words; Miss Erma Jones who had.93 correct words and Mrs. Cecelia B. Lawson of Pasadena, Cal., who had 92 correct words. Checks have been mailed to all successful contestants and we wish to congratulate the winners. Larger prizes would have been won by some had they read and observed the rules more carefully. One contestant sent in a list of 239 words and when list of correct words was made up and the penalty deducted she fell to fifth place in the prize list when she might have had a higher one just as well. Watch the Tribune for our next puzzle contest and you are urged to read and observe the rules carefully. The management of the Tribune wishes to thank all who entered the contest and made it so very, very interesting, also the judges who gave their valuable time to decide this great contest. Wishing you better luck next time, we bid you adieu. Relief Club Notes The B. T. Washington Hospital and Relief Club met at the hospital with Mrs. Ruby Jones the president in the chair.

A few are registered duty of every registered voter to go to the state for the man whom he believes is best for the office sought. No group of citizens closely interested in the kind of officials el people. It was there a time in the history of this unity, when the question as to the kind of office, was more vital than now. We are live period is crucial. We need men of vision age and backbone in Congress, in the Governor's office and elsewhere. Man and woman in the state should re- vote at the primaries. It is your duty to the character and attitude towards states who are striving for the nomination and influence see that these candidates are now, while you may. The approaching political campaign is one of very great importance. Federal, state and county officials are to be elected and the people have the privilege, duty and responsibility of nominating candidates for the several offices. The people are the ones who at the primaries, to be held September, 12, will determine the Republican and Democratic candidates for United States Senator, Governor, Members of the legislature, Superior Judge, Sheriff, County Attorney and so on down the line. An overwhelming majority of our people in Arizona are registered as Republicans. A few are registered as Democrats. It is the duty of every registered voter to go to the primaries and cast his vote for the man whom he believes is best fitted to make the race for the office sought. No group of citizens should be more intensely interested in the kind of officials elected than the Colored People. Never was there a time in the history of this country, state or community, when the question as to the kind of men WE help elect to office, was more vital than now. We are living in perilous times; the period is crucial. We need men of vision, broadmindedness, courage and backbone in Congress, in the Governor's chair, in the Sheriff's office and elsewhere. Every man and woman in the state should register and be prepared to vote at the primaries. It is your duty to become informed as to the character and attitude towards us of the various candidates who are striving for the nomination, and then by your vote and influence see that these candidates are nominated. Register now, while you may. ORGANIZATION NECESSARY present political situation in this state offy to the Colored voters to cast their bays never before. Because of the treaty the hands of those we have trusted in people logically, are ready to break away from the unknown paths of the future. Actually solid Negro vote will nominate The present political situation in this state offers an unusual opportunity to the Colored voters to cast their ballots to an advantage as never before. Because of the treatment we have received at the hands of those we have trusted in the past, the Colored people logically, are ready to break away from the beaten paths and try the unknown paths of the future. A practically solid Negro vote will nominate and elect any candidate in the County or State, and we owe it to ourselves and to the race to unite our forces at this time. The Negro in this State and Nation occupies a peculiar position in the American life. As a group, we are few in number compared with the combined number of all the other nationalities which makes this a great Nation. Yet we are strong if we only knew it. We are not weak as some would have us believe. Our only weakness lies in our inability to organize. The white politicians are getting together these days behind closed doors and are making their slates, and are doing so without considering their Colored brethern at all. So, the thing for us to do is to get together and make our selection and vote for those selected regardless of the consequences. This can only be done by men and women who are not looking for jobs or political preferment, those who put the welfare of the race above self. We see by the papers that the Ku Klux Klan has invited the Colored people of Kansas City to join the organization. Wonders never cease. What next? The Fountain of Youth for which Ponce de Leon sought, has been found and its costs $50,000 to bathe in its waters. We can say for the discoverer, that he is no "piker". Now is the time for all good men and true, to come to the aid of the party. The party which presents a united front in the coming election will have a landslide. One writer says that the fatal error in the Versailles Treaty is the fact that the powers that be, did not forbid Germany to undersell all other nations. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING "I notice also that if I was to hit the universe over, I couldn't find a better match for Glb than Tabu-Tabu. And as we are all agreed that the white race is superior to any race on earth, and it'll do us all good to see a fine mill before we leave the country, I move you, gentlemen of the syndicate, that we pull off a finish fight between Scraggsy and the king, and Glb and Tabu-Tabu. I'll referee both contests and at the conclusion of the mixup we'll leave these two murderers marooned on the island and then—" "Rats," snapped Captain Scraggs. "That ain't no business at all. You shouldn't consider nothin' short of capital punishment. Why, that's only a petty larceny form of—" "Quit buttin' in on my prerogatives," roared McGuffey. "That ain't the finish by no means." "What is the finish, then?" "Why, these two cannibals, bein' left alone on the desert island, naturally bumps up agin the old question of the survival of the fittest. They get scrappin' among themselves, and one eats the other up." "By the toe-nails of Moses," muttered Mr. Gibney in genuine admiration, "but you have got an imagination after all, Mac. The point is well taken and the program will go through as outlined. Scraggs, you'll fight the king, No buckin' and grumblin'. You'll fight the king. You're outvoted two to one, the thing's been done regular, and you can't kick. I'll fight Tabu-Tabu, so you see you're not gettin' any the worst of it. We'll proceed to an island in the Friendly group called Tuvanatholo. It lies right in our homeward course, and there aren't enough grub on the confounded island to last two men a week. And I know there ain't no water there. So, now that that matter is all settled, we will proceed to heave the anchor and scoot for home, Mac, tune up your engines and we'll get out of here a-whoopin' and a-flyin'." It was an eight-hundred-mile run up to Tuvana-tholo, but the weather held good and the trade-winds never slackened. Ten days from the date of leaving Kandavu they have to off the island. It was a long, low, sandy atoll, with a few coconut-palms growing in the center of it, and with the exception of a vast colony of seabirds that apparently made it their headquarters, the island was devoid of life. The bloodthirsty McGuffey stood at the break of the poop, and as he gazed shoreward he chuckled and rubbed his hands together. "Great, great," he murmured. "I couldn't have gotten a better island if I'd had one built to order." He called aft to the navigating officer: "Scraggs, there's the ring. Nothin' else to do now but get the contestants into it. Along in the late afternoon, when the heat of the day is over, we'll go ashore and pull off the fight. And, by George, Scraggs, if that old king succeeds in lambastin' you, I'll set the rascal free." Seeing that there was no escape, Captain Scraggs decided to bluff the matter through. "Let's go ashore and have it over with," he said carelessly. "I'm a man of peace, but when there's fightin' to be done, I say go to it and no tomfoilery." "Clear away the big whaleboat with two men to pull us ashore," said Mr. Gibney to the mate. Five minutes later the members of the syndicate, accompanied by the captives, climbed into the whaleboat and shoved off, leaving the Maggie II in charge of the mate. "We'll be back in half an hour," called the commodore, as they rowed away from the schooner. "Just ratch back and forth and keep heavin' the lead." They negotiated the fringe of breakers to the north of the island successfully, pulled the boat up on the beach, and proceeded at once to business. Mr. Gibney explained to Tabu-Tabu what was expected of him, and Tabu-Tabu in turn explained to the king. It was not the habit of white men, so Mr. Gibney explained, to kill their prisoners in cold blood, and he had decided to give them an opportunity to fight their way out of a sad predicament with their naked fists. If they won, they would be taken back aboard the schooner and later dropped at some inhabited island. If they lost, they must make their home for the future on Tuvana-tholo. "Let 'er go," called McGuffey, and Mr. Gibney squared off and made a bearlike pass at Tabu-Tabu. To the amazement of all present Tabu-Tabu sprang lightly backward and avoided the blow. His footwork was excellent and McGuffey remarked as much to Captain Scraggs. But when Tabu-Tabu put up his hands after the most approved method of self-defense and dropped into a "crouch," McGuffey could no longer contain himself. "The beggar can fight, the beggar can fight," he croaked, wild with joy. "Scraggs, old man, this'll be a rare mill, I promise you. He's been aboard a British man-o-war and learned how to box. Steady, Glb. Upper-cut him, upper—wow!" Tabu-Tabu had stepped in and planted a mighty right in the center of Mr. Gibney's physiognomy, following it up with a hard left to the commodore's ear. Mr. Gibney rocked a moment on his sturdy legs, stepped back out of range, dropped both hands, and stared at Tabu-Tabu. "I do believe the nigger'l lick you, Gib," said McGuffey anxiously. "He's got a horrible reach and a mule kick in each mit. Close with him, or he's due for a full pardon." "In a minute," said the commodore faintly. "He's so good I hate to hurt him. But I'll infight him to a finish." Which Mr. Gibney forthwith proceeded to do. He rushed his opponent and clinched, though not until his right eye was in mourning and a stiff jolt in the short ribs had caused him to grunt in most ignoble fashion. But The Green Pea Pirates few men could withstand Mr. Gibney once he got to close quarters. Tabu-Tabu wrapped his long arms around the commodore and endeavored to smother his blows, but Mr. Gibney would not be denied. His great fist shot upward from the hip and connected with the cannibal's chin. Tabu-Tabu relaxed his hold, Mr. Gibney followed with left and right to the head in quick succession, and McGuffey was counting the fatal ten over the fallen warrior. Mr. Gibney grinned rather foolishly, spat, and spoke to McGuffey, soto voce: "By George, the joke ain't all on Scraggsy," he said. Then turning to Captain Scraggs: "Help yourself to the mustard, Scraggsy, old tarpot." Captain Scraggs took off his hat, rolled up his sleeves, and made a dive for the royal presence. His majesty, the suspicion of a grief face. "I make a motion," the syndicate pass a deminn' the action of it. It was a forlorn hoover over the heads of parment. Said Mr. C. "There ain't no more dicate." CHAPTER Nells Halvorsen of what had become of Captain Scraggs. Mr. tholomew McGuffey turned their sun-taned deep water some years Scraggs and the Mag from the environs of A Rocked a Moment on Hie Sturdy, Legs lacking the scientific training of his prime minister, selzed a handful of the Scraggs mane and tore at it cruelly. A well-directed kick in the shins, however, caused him to let go, and a moment later he was flying up the beach with the angry Scraggs in full cry after him. McGuffey headed the king off and rounded him up so Scraggs could get at him, and the latter at once "dug in" like a terrier. After five minutes of mauling and tearing Captain Scraggs was out of breath, so he let go and stood off a few feet to size up the situation. The wicked McGuffey was laughing immoderately, but to Scraggs it was no laughing matter. The fact of the matter was the king was dangerous and Scraggs had glutted himself with revenge. "I don't want to beat an old man to death," he gasped finally. "I'll let the scoundrel go. He's had enough and he won't fight. Let's mosey along back to the schooner and leave them here to amuse themselves the best way they know how." "Right-O," said Mr. Gibney, and turned to walk down the beach to the boat. A second later a hoarse scream of rage and terror broke from his lips. "What's up?" cried McGuffey, the laughter dying out of his voice, for there was a hint of death in Mr. Gibney's cry. "Marooned!" said the commodore hoarsely. "Those two sailors have pulled back to the schooner, and—there—look. Mac! My Gawd!" McGuffey looked, and his face went whiter than the foaming breakers beyond which he could see Maggie II, under full sail, headed for the open sea. The small boat had been picked up, and there was no doubt that at her present rate of speed the schooner would be hull down on the horizon by sunset. "The murderin' hound," whispered McGuffey, and sagged down on the sands. "Oh, the murderin' hound of a mate!" "It's—it's mutiny," gulped Captain Scraggs in a hard, strained voice. "That bloody fiend of a mate! The sly sneak-thief, with his pleasant smile and his winniin' ways! Saw a chance to steal the Maggie and her rich cargo, and he is leavin' us here, marooned on a desert island, with two cannibals." Captain Scraggs fairly shrieked the last two words and burst into tears. "Lord, Gib, old man," he raved, "whatever will we do?" Thus appealed to, the doughty commodore permitted his two unmatched optics to rest mournfully upon his shipmates. He gulped and thoughtfully rubbed the knuckles of his right hand where the skin was barked off. He thought of the silly joke he and McGunfey had thought to perpetrate on Captain Scraggs by leading him up against a beating at the hands of a cannibal king, and with the thought came a grim, hard chuckle, though there was the look of a thousand devils in his eyes. "Well, Mac, old sporty boy, I guess there isn't much to do except to make up our minds to die like gentlemen. If I was ever fooled by a man in my life, I was fooled by that doggone mate. I thought he'd tote square with the syndicate. I sure did." For a long time McGuffey gazed seaward. He was slower than his shipmates in making up his mind that the mate had really deserted them and sailed away with the fortunes of the syndicate. Of the three, however, the stolcal engineer accepted the situation with the best grace. He spurned the white sand with his foot and faced Mr. Gibney and Captain Scraggs with just the suspicion of a grin on his homely face. "I make a motion," he said, "that the syndicate pass a resolution condemnin' the action of the mate." It was a forlorn hope, and the jest went over the heads of the deck department. Said Mr. Gibney sadly: "There ain't no more Maggie II syndicate." CHAPTER XIII. Nells Halvorsen often wondered what had become of the Maggie and Captain Seraggs. Mr. Gibney and Bartholomew McGuffey he knew had turned their sun-tanned faces toward deep water some years before Captain Scraggs and the Maggie disappeared from the environs of San Francisco bay, and Nells Halvorsen was wise enough to waste no time wondering what had become of them. These two worthies might be anywhere, and every conceivable thing under the sun might have happened to them; hence, in his idle moments, Nells Halvorsen did not disturb his gray matter speculating on their whereabouts and their then condition of servitude. But the continued absence of Captain Scraggs from his old haunts created quite a little gossip along the waterfront, and in the course of time rumors of his demise by sundry and devious routes came to the ears of Nells Halvorsen. Hence "The Squarehead" was puzzled. In fact, to such an extent was Nells puzzled, that one perfectly calm, clear night, while beating down San Pablo bay in his bay scow, the Willie and Annie, he so far forgot himself and his own affairs as to concentrate all his attention on the problem of the ultimate finish of Captain Scraggs. So engrossed was Nells in this vain speculation that he neglected to observe toward the rules of the ocean highways that nicety of attention which is highly requisite, even in the skipper of a bay scow, if the fulsome title of captain is to be retained for any definite period. As a result, Nells became confused regarding the exact number of blasts from the siren of a river steamer desiring to pass him to port. Consequently the Willie and Annie received such a severe butting from the river steamer in question as to cause her to careen and fill. Being, unfortunately, loaded with gravel on this particular trip, she subsided incontinently to the bottom of San Pablo bay, while Nells and his crew of two men sought refuge on a plank. Without attempting to go further into the details of the misfortunes of Neils Halvorsen, be it known that the destruction of the Willie and Annie proved to be such a severe shock to Neils' reputation as a safe and sane bay scow skipper that he was ultimately forced to seek other and more virgin fields. With the fragments of his meager fortune, the ambitious Swede purchased a course in a local nautical school from which he duly managed to emerge with sufficient courage to appear before the United States local inspectors of hulls and bollers and take his examination for a second mate's certificate. To his unutterable surprise the license was granted; whereupon he shipped as quartermaster on the steamer Alameda, running to Honolulu, and what with the lesson taught him in the loss of the Willie and Annie and the exacting duties of his office aboard the liner, he forgot that he had ever known Captain Scraggs. Judge of Nells Halvorsen's surprise, therefore, upon the occasion of his first trip to Honolulu, when he saw something which brought the whole matter back to mind. They were standing in toward Diamond head and the Alameda lay hove to taking on the pilot. It was early morning and the purple mists hung over the entrance to the harbor. Nells Halvorsen stood at the gangway enjoying the sunrise over the Punch-bowl, and glancing longingly toward the vivid green of the hills beyond the city, when he was aware of a "put," "put," "put," to starboard of the Alameda. Nells turned at the sound just in time to THE NEWSPAPER It Was Just a Squib in the Shipping News. see a beautiful gasoline schooner of about a hundred and thirty tons heading in toward the bay. She was so close that Nells was enabled to make out that her name was Maggie II. "Vell, aye be dam," muttered Nells, and scratched his head, for the name survived old memories. An hour later on page 3) when the Alameda loafed into her berth at Brewer's dock, Nells noticed that the schooner lay at anchor off the quarantine station. That night Nells Halvorsen went ashore for those forms of enjoyment peculiar to his calling, and in the Pantheon saloon, whither his pathway led him, he filled himself with beer and gossip. It was here that Nells came across an item in an afternoon paper which challenged his instant attention. It was just a squib in the shipping news, but Nells Halvorsen read it with amazement and joy: "The power schooner Maggie II arrived this morning, ten days from the Friendly islands. The little schooner came into port with her hold bursting with the most explosive sound. It contained Honolulu in many years. It consists for the most part of black coral. "The Maggie II is commanded by Captain Phineas Scraggs, and after taking on provisions and water today will proceed to San Francisco, tomorrow, for discharge of cargo." "By yiminy," quoth Nells Halvorsen. "aye bat you that bane de ole man so sure as you bane alive. And aye bat new hat he skall be glad to see Nells Halvorsen. I guess aye hire Kanaka boy an' he bane pull me out to see de ole man." A Jacob's ladder was hanging over the side of the schooner as the canoe shot in under her lee quarter, and half a minute later the expectant Nells stepped upon her deck. A tall dark man, wearing an ancient palmleaf hat, sat smoking on the hatch coaming, and him Nells Halvorsen addressed. "Aye bane want to see Cap'n Scraggs," he said. The tall dark man stood erect and cast a quick, questioning look at Nells Halvorsen. He hesitated before he made answer. "What do you want?" he asked deliberately, and there was a subtle menace in his tones. As for Nells Halvorsen, thinking only of the surprise he had in store for his old employer, he replied evasively: "Ave bane want job." "Well, I'm Captain Scraggs, and I haven't any job for you. Get off my boat and wait until you're invited before you come aboard again." For nearly a minute Nells Halvorson stared open-mouthed at the spurious Captain Scraggs, while slowly there sifted through his brain the notion that he had happened across the track of a deep and bloody mystery of the seas. There was "something rotten in Denmark." Of that Nells Halvorson was certain. More he could not be certain of until he had paved the way for a complete investigation, and as a preliminary step toward that end he clinched his fist and sprang swiftly toward the bogus sklipper. "Aye tank you bane d—n ilar," he muttered, and struck home, straight and true, to the point of the jaw. The man went down, and in an instant Nells was on top of him. Off came the sailor's belt, the hands of the half-stunned man were quickly tied behind him, and before he had time to realize what had happened Nells had cut a length of cord from a trailing halyard and tied his feet securely, after which he gagged him securely with his bandana handkerchief. A quick circuit of the ship convinced Nells Halvorsen that the remainder of the dastard crew were evidently ashore, so he descended to the cabin in search of further evidence of crime. He was quite prepared to find Captain Scraggs' master's certificate in its familiar oaken frame, hanging on the cabin wall, but he was dumfounded to observe, hanging on the wall in a similar and equally familiar frame, the certificate of Adelbert P. Gibney as first mate of steam or sail, any ocean and any tonnage. But still a third framed certificate hung on the wall, and Nells again scratched his head when he read the wording that set forth the legal qualifications of Bartholomew McGuffey to hold down a job as chief engineer of constwise vessels up to 1,200 tons net register. It was patent, even to the dull-witted Swede, that there had been foul play somewhere, and the schooner's log, lying open on the table, seemed to offer the first means at hand for a solution of the mystery. Eagerly Nells turned to the last entry. It was not in Captain Scragg's handwriting, and contained nothing more interesting than the stereotyped reports of daily observations, currents, weather conditions, etc., including a notation of arrival that day at Honolulu. Slowly Halvorsen turned the leaves backward, until at last he was rewarded by a glimpse of a different handwriting. It was the last entry under that particular handwriting, and read as follows: "June 21, 19—. Took an observation at noon, and find that we are in 20-48 S., 178-4 W. At this rate should lift Tuvaantholo early this afternoon. All hands well and looking forward to the fun at Tuvaan. Bent a new flying jib this morning and had the king and Tabu-Tabu holystone the deck. A. P. Gibney." Nells Halvorsen sat down to think, and after several minutes of this unusual exercise it appeared to the Swede that he had stumbled upon a clue to the situation. The last entry in the log kept by Mr. Gibney was under date of June 21st—just eleven days ago, and on that date Mr. Gibney had been looking forward to some fun at Tuvaantholo. Now where was that island and what kind of a place was it? Nells searched through the cabin until he came across the book that is the bible of every South sea trading vessel—the British admiralty reports.

Hines This has been the hottest year in the history of Prescott, but now the heat has abated somewhat because of the heavy rains which were so much needed. Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Jourdan's babies have been ill but are improving. Baby Love was the first to take sick and the others were stricken later. Mrs. W. D. Alexander is still serving sandwiches cold drinks and other refreshments at the Alexandria Delicatesen Mr. John Garner who has been ill for some time is suffering terribly. He is unable to lie down and is in much pain. The Rev. Draper has been given power of attorney to transact all business for him. Any one having legal matters against Mr. Garner will kindly see Rev. Draper. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Burkhardt entertained informally Sunday afternoon in honor of out of town guests at their pretty home in Bullock street. The home was beautifully decorated with California daisies. The out of town guests were, Mrs. Mary E. Scott and Mrs. McCutcheon of Phoenix; Mrs. Wade of Yuma; city guests were Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Alexander Mrs. F. Young, Mrs. W. J. Tull and Mrs. Joe Anderson Dainty refreshments were served. Mrs. Gladys Green of Tucson is a business visitor in the city this week and is the house guest of Mrs. Joe Anderson. Due to circumstances over which they had no control the Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor did not have their thanksgiving services last Sunday, but will hold them this Sunday at the People's A. M. E. Zion church. The Rev. Draper will preach the sermon. All invited to come and witness the exercises. Mrs. B. Smith of Pasadena, Cal. was in the city and spent ten days as the guest of Mrs. Eliza Moker in North Virginia street. While here Mrs. Smith was royally entertained by the Daughters of Tabor and other friends. The Masons entertained the Eastern Star chapter Monday night in honor of Grand Master Wm. P. Crump of Phoenix and Ray, who was in the city. All present report a delightful time. Mrs. J. A. Youngblood returned recently from Washington, D. C. where she was called early last year on account of the illness of her relatives. She is now wearing a smile that won't come off. The Live Wire Club met last week at the usual time and place and after the opening exercises, Mrs. Moker the president, took the chair and made a beautiful talk stating that all business would be omitted. Mrs. Williamson offered a special prayer for the sick of Prescott and vicinity. The president then introduced Mr. Thos. E. Hines who spoke at length in honor of Mr. Robert Jordan in whose honor the reception was given. Mr. Jordan recently graduated from the eighth grade. Mr. Hines also thanked the worthy president for her steadfast and untiring efforts. He made a wonderful talk one of the best of its kind ever delivered in Prescott to our people. Taking for his subject, "The Essentials of Success," he explained the need of higher education and encouraged Mr. Jordan to continue in school and complete his education. He also paid a tribute to the mothers and advised them to keep their children in school. During the course of his address, he waxed eloquent and lifted the audience off their feet. The aplause was deafening. Rev. Draper was then introduced and made the closing address. Mr. Jordan responded in a few well chosen words, stating that he fully intended to continue his education and "discouragement" was a word that he had stricken from his vocabulary. At the close of Mr. Jordan's speech, the house went wild with applause for he had said what they wanted to hear. He pledged himself to complete his education. After introduction of the officers and visitors, all went to the banquet hall and enjoyed a feast fit for the Gods. Granite and Thumb Butte Lodges, F. and A. Masons had their annual thanksgiving services Sunday at Mt. Olive Baptist church and the Rev. Youngblood preached the sermon. His discourse was filled with sound logic and was delivered in a masterful way. The Eastern Star sisters formed the choir and sang beautifully. After the sermon, the Hon. Wm. P. Crump, Grand Master of Masons for Arizona Jurisdiction, was introduced and delivered the St. John's Day address to the Masons. In his usual way, Mr. Crump swayed the audience at will with his profound logic and matchless eloquence. Mr. Crump spoke at length and held the audience at rapt attention throughout his discourse. It is the consensus of opinion that Mr. Crump's address is the best ever delivered in Prescott on an occasion of this kind. Rev. Smith, the new pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist church, had splendid services Sunday and on Sunday night administered the Lord's Supper. A large crowd was present. The Children's Day exercises were good and a splendid program was rendered. The U. N. I. A. held its regular meeting last week and the attendance was large. An excellent program was rendered to the delight of all present. You are invited to attend the meetings. Friends of Judge and Mrs. Wells will regret to learn of her untimely death. She passed away Tuesday, June 13, and a beautiful career was ended. Mrs. Wells was a staircase friend to the colored people and did much for the advancement of the race. The entire colored population of this city and county deeply regret the loss of this dear woman. Red Cross Gives $310,000 to Aid 'Clean-Up' Drive An appropriation of $310,000 for Red Cross work in connection with the "clean-up" campaign instituted by the Government to bring the claims of all disabled service men who are entitled to Federal alld before the proper government bureau for action, has been made by the American Red Cross. The Executive Committee of the American Red Cross in making the appropriation authorized the appropriation of $35,000 of this sum to the American Legion to defray the expense of the Legion representatives assigned to the various districts of the Veterans Bureau. The remainder of the appropriation was authorized for apportionment among the several Divisions of the Red Cross for carrying on that part of the "clean-up" work that falls directly upon the Red Cross organization. Young America Sends Vast Relief To Needy Abroad Various relief projects of the Junior American Red Cross in European countries resulted in helping 237,000 desititute children during the last fiscal year, according to the annual report of the American Red Cross for that period. The growth of the activities of the Juniors abroad is manifested by a comparison which shows this figure is 200,000 larger than that of the previous fiscal year. The National Children's Fund raised by school children, members of the Junior American Red Cross, was drawn upon for $420,557 for these projects. Receipts for the National Children's Fund during the last fiscal year totalled $155,317. America Succors Russians Food, clothing and medical relief costing $700,000 has been provided by the American Red Cross for the thousands of Russian refugees stranded last year in Constantinople and visinity.

The Green Pea Pirates (Continued from page 2) "Friendly islands—page 177," whereupon Neils opened the book at page 177 and after a five-minute search discovered that Tuvana-tholo was a barren, uninhabited island in latitude 21-2 south, longitude 178-49 west. Ten days from the Friendly islands, the paper said. That meant under power and sail with the trades abaft the beam. It would take nearer fifteen days for the run from Honolulu to that desert island, and Neils Halversen wondered whether the marooned men would still be alive by the time aid could reach them. For by some sixth sailor sense Nells Halversen became convinced that his old friends of the vegetable trade were marooned. They had gone ashore for some kind of a frolic, and the crew had stolen the schooner and left them to their fate, believing that the cast-aways would never be heard from and that dead men tell no tales. He rushed on deck, carried his prisoner down into the cabin, and locked A policeman carries a man to the doorway. Carried His Prisoner Down Into the Cabin. the door on him. A minute later he was clinging to the Jacob's ladder, the canoe shot in to the slide of the vessel at his gruff command and passed on shoreward without missing a stroke of the paddle. An hour later, accompanied by three Kanaka sailors picked up at random along the water front, Neils Halvorsen was pulled out to the Maggie II. Her crew had not returned and the bogus captain was still triced hard and fast in the cabin. The Swede did not bother to investigate in detail the food and water supply. A hasty round of the schooner convinced him that she had at least a month's supply of food and water. Only one thought surged through his mind, and that was the awful necessity for haste. The anchor came in with a rush, the Kanaka boys chanting a song that sounded to Nells like a funeral dirge, and Nells went below and turned the gasoline engines wide open. The Maggie II swung around and with a long streak of opalescent foam trailing behind her swung down the bay and faded at last in the ghostly moonlight beyond Diamond head; after which Nells Halvorsen, with murder in his eye and a tarred rope's end in his horny fist, went down into the cabin and talked to the man who posed as Captain Scraggs. In the end he got a confession. Fifteen minutes later he emerged, smiling grimly, gave the Kanaka boy at the wheel the course, and turned in to sleep the sleep of the conscience-free and the weary. Darkness was creeping over the beach at Tuvana-tholo before Mr. Gibney could smother the despair in his heart sufficient to spur his jaded imagination to working order. For nearly an hour the three castaways had sat on the beach in dumb horror, gazing seaward. They were not alone in this, for a little further up the beach the two Fiji islanders sat huddled on their haunches, gazing stupidly first at the horizon and then at their white captors. It was the sight of these two worthies that spurred Mr. Gibney's torpid brain to action. "Didn't you say, Mac, that when we left these two cannibals alone on this island that it would develop into a case of dog eat dog or somethin' of that nature?" Captain Scraggs sprang to his feet, his face white with a new terror. However, he had endured so much since embarking with Mr. Gibney on a life of wild adventure that his nerves had become rather inured to impending death, and presently his fear gave way to an overmastering rage. He hurled his hat on the sands and jumped on it until it was a mere shapeless rag. "Let's call a meetin' of the Robinson Crusoe syndicate," said Mr. Gibney. "Second the motion," rumbled McGuffey. "Carried," said the commodore. "The first business before the meetin' is the organization of a expedition to chase these two cannibals to the other end of the island. I ain't got the heart to kill 'em, so let's chase 'em away before they get fresh with us." "Good idea," responded McGunfey, whereupon he picked up a rock and threw it at the king. Mr. Gibney followed with two rocks, Captain Scraggs screamed defiance at the am- (CONTINUED NEXT ISSUE) emy, and the enemy fled in wild disorder, pursued by the syndicate. After a chase of half a mile Mr. Gibney led his cohorts back to the beach. "Let's build a fire—not that we need it, but just for company—and sleep till mornin'. By that time my imagination'll be in workin' order and I'll scheme a breakfast out of this Godforsaken hole." At the first hint of dawn Mr. Gibney, true to his promise, was up and scouting for breakfast. He found some gooneys on a rocky crag and killed half a dozen of them with a club. On his way back to camp he discovered a few handfuls of sea salt in a crevice between some rocks, and the syndicate breakfasted an hour later on roast gooney. It was oily and fishy but an excellent substitute for nothing at all, and the syndicate was grateful. The breakfast would have been cheerful, in fact, if Captain Scraggs had not made repeated reference to his excessive thirst. McGuffey lost patience before the meal was over, and cuffed Captain Scraggs, who thereupon subsided with tears in his eyes. This hurt McGuffey. It was like salt in a fresh wound, so he patted the skipper on the back and humly asked his pardon. Captain Scraggs forgave him and murmured something about death making them all equal. "The next business before the syndicate," announced Mr. Gibney, "is a search of this island for water." They searched all foronoon. At intervals they caught glimpses of the two cannibals skulking behind sand dunes, but they found no water. Toward the center of the island, however, the soil was less barren, and here a grove of coconut palms lifted their tufted crests invitingly. "We will camp in this grove," said the commodore, "and keep guard over these green coconuts. There must be nearly a hundred of them and I notice a little taro root here and there. As those coconuts are full of milk, that insures us-life for a week or two if we go on a short ration. By bathin' several times a day we can keep down our thirst some and perhaps it'll rain." "What if it does?" snapped Captain Scraggs bitterly. "We ain't got nothing' but our hats to catch it in." "Well, then, Scraggsy, old stick-in the mud," replied the commodore quizzically, "it's a cinch you'll go thirsty. Your hat looks like a cullender." Captain Scraggs choked with rage, and Mr. Gibney, springing at the nearest palm, shinned to the top of it in the most approved sailor fashion. A moment later, instead of coconuts, rich unctuous curses began to descend on McGuffey and Scraggs. "Gib, my dear boy," inquired Scraggs, "whatever is the matter of you?" "That hound Tabu-Tabu's been strippin' our coconut-grove," roared the commodore. "He must have spent half the night up in these trees." "Thank the Lord they didn't take 'em all," said McGuffey plausely. "Chuck me down a nut, Gib," said Captain Scraggs. "Tm famished." In conformity with the commodore's plans, the castaways made camp in the grove. For a week they subsisted on gooneys, taro root, coconut and coconut milk, and a sea-turtle which Scraggs found wandering on the beach. This suggested turtle eggs to Mr. Gibney, and a change of diet resulted. Nevertheless, the unaccustomed food, poorly cooked as it was, and the lack of water, told cruelly on them, and their strength failed rapidly. At the end of a week, all hands were troubled with indigestion and McGuffey developed a low fever. They had lost much flesh and were a white, haggard-looking trio. On the afternoon of the tenth day on the island the sky clouded up and Mr. McGuffey predicted a williwaw. Captain Scraggs inquired feebly if it was good to eat. That night it rained, and to the great joy of the marooned mariners Mr. Gibney discovered, in the center of a big sandstone rock, a natural reservoir that held about ten gallons of water. They drank to repletion and felt their strength return a thousand-fold. Tabu-Tabu and the king came into camp about this time, and pleaded for a ration of water. Mr. Gibney, swearing horribly at them, granted their request, and the king, in his gratitude, threw himself at the commodore's feet and kissed them. But Mr. Gibney was not to be deceived, and after furnishing them with a supply of water in coconut calabashes, he ordered them to their own side of the island. On the eighteenth day the last drop of water was gone, and on the twenty-second day the last of the coconuts disappeared. The prospects of more rain were not bright. The gooeyne were becoming shy and distrustful and the syndicate was experiencing more and more difficulty, not only in killing them, but in eating them. McGuffey, who had borne up uncomplainingly, was shaking with fever and hardly able to stagger down the beach to look for turtle eggs. The syndicate was slick, weak and emaciated almost beyond recognition, and on the twenty-fifth day Captain Scraggs fainted twice. On the twenty-sixth day McGuffey crawled into the shadow of a stunted nimosa bush and started to pray! It was the finish. The commodore knew it, and sat with bowed head in his gaunt arms, wondering, wondering. Slowly his body began to sway; he muttered something, sild forward on his face, and lay still. And as he lay there on the threshold of the unknown he dreamed that the Maggie II came into view around the headland, a bone in her teeth and every stitch of canvas PAGE THREE Amu DEMPSEY AND WILLS TO FIGHT Amusements (Preston News Service) New Work City, N. Y., June 30.—If Jack Dempsey, present heavyweight king, does not formally accept the challenge of Harry Wills by July 10, his title will be put up for competition in New York state. This was the ruling handed down by the New York State Boxing Commission last Friday as a part of the campaign started several weeks ago to force the present titleholder to meet a man worthy of his steel. Negotiations for a Dempsey-Wills bout are already under way. Upon his arrival in this city last Thursday, Jack Kearns, the champion's manager, went into conference with Tex Rickard, world famous promoter, and Frank Flourney, matchmaker, and it was announced that a tentative arrangement had been reached, and a A MILLION AUTO PARTS MAIL ORDERS F STEINBERG A 223-33 N.

T - T E X THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING er heavyweight champion, and Tutt Jackson, the sensational local scraper here on July 4th. Both men are in intensive training and large throngs are out daily to watch the men go through their various training stunts. Jack Johnson is said to be steadily reducing, and an air of optimism invades all connected with his camp. His wife is in evidence, and the former champion is going about his work of reducing weight-with an air of seriousness reminiscent of the days when he held the heavyweight crown. But for all his earnestness, his sunny side is much in evidence, his jokes and many witicisms doing much to keep down the high tension. Tutt Jackson is said to be in the pink of condition, and his manager, Billy Palmer, predicts victory. "I don't konw how soon the knockout will come, or whether or not there will be a knockout, but I am confident that Tutt will be returned the winner when the fight is over," was the only comment Palmer would make. "Burney's Orchestra," consisting of Forest Burney, James Mullen and Earle Johnson of Phoenix, Played for the dances on Saturday and Monday nights. Mr. John Brown, the piano tuner, and repair man, brought the group over in his reliable Hupmobile. The party did not reach Superior until a rather late hour because they were entrapped in the middle of the desert by one of the worst sandstorms in years. The storm lasted about an hour or longer and was so terrific the occupants of the car were forced to lie down in the bottom of the car, piling coats, quilts and suit cases on themselves. The orchestra is making a hit with people of Superior. Mr. James Mullen is called the "Little Man" with the "Big Horn." The Magma club is headquarters of Mr. Brown and Burney orchestra. They will leave Tuesday for Ray and other mountain towns to fill engagements. Mr. Brown will be engaged in "fixin'" old broken down pianos. Mr. Forrest Burney and Earle Johnson not only can play music, but cards as well. If you don't believe it is a fact, ask Mr. Brown and Mr. Miller for they were forced to "fill up" the musicians by virtue of their wins in playing whist. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Maryland and family of Ray are in Phoenix and will remain for several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Fish are leaving this evening for the coast to be absent several months.

WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR GROWER SUPERIOR LOCALS Here From Ray DEMPSEY IS YELLOW SAYS NOTED WRITER (By A. B. Williams for N.S.W.A.) "Jack Dempsey, heavyweight title holder, dodger of the world war draft, is afraid to meet Harry Wills, the only real contender for the champs' crown," is the way two of the best sporting authorities of the country, (white) summed up the repeated refusal of Dempsey to meet the colored contender. We heartily agree with them. Dempsey is afraid. There is no doubt of this being true. It is a well known fact that Sir Jack has been sidestepping the dark challenger and in fact has no intentions of ever meeting Wills if he can avoid such an encounter. Jack has no intentions of having his block knocked off his shoulders by Wills and as long as the public will let him get away from a match with ills he will do so. He wants none of the Wills game and does not intend to take any chances in an encounter—unless the cards are stacked—and they won't be Wills can't be handled as a few others were. He's square. Wills can fight. Wills can slug. Wills can box. Wills is scientific. Wills is game. Wills is young and strong and knows what to do when he is in the ring. These qualities is what has caused Dempsey to side step him. Dempsey cannot see his way clear to take on any one regardless of color, if they are good, especially any ways near as good as Wills. Dempsey is afraid to meet Wills or any one else that he thinks can give him a battle worthy of the name. Wills can stand punishment and can mete out a goodly portion of this thing called punishment. This the Wary Jack also knows and is not anxious to meet up with it. Jack needs the long green. It takes a lot to live up to the heavyweight crown, especially when a poor cuss has been brought up from nothing to the height of the realm of fistanta. While in sad need of the coin, he Dempsey does not care to take a chance of having his features reformed by one of Harry's boone crushers. He fights shy of that Wills bird. Tis said by members of the American Legion all over the country that Dempsey is "YELLOW." This is, we admit quite an ugly monicker to attach to anything, even a yellow pup but in the light, of recent happenings we are forced to believe that there is something in the American Legion accusation. Evidently Jack Dempsey is afraid. There can be no question about it. Jack is afraid of Harry and the public is keenly watching the action to be taken by the New York state boxing commission since Wills challenged the titleholder and placed a check for $2,500 in the hands of the commission to attest his sincerity. Although he says that he has never barred Wills. Jack always finds some and Long Life Buy A Washer ELECTRIC CO.

Can any one imagine any promoter giving such a sum as this to Jack to go in a ring and have Wills dust off his crown and finally bring the championship that Jack Johnson gave to Willard a few years ago? Many think Wills can beat Dempsey while others think that Harry has no chance. Our opinion is that Dempsey is already beaten. He knows that he cannot defeat Wills and that is the reason he is steering clear of him. He thinks he can't, and he can't. There is no place in this country for yellow champs. Sport loving Americans are tired of Dempsey—they have his number and it is zero. Of the Principal Colored Insurance Companies of the United States The Secretary of Labor, James J. Davis, announces that a statistical summary of the finances and personnel of the principal colored insurance companies in the United States, compiled for the U. S. Department of Labor by Phil H. Brown, commissioner of conciliation, shows that there are 25 representatively active companies, with home offices in 13 states and the District of Columbia. The insurance sold by these companies covers life, health and accidents, principally. Of the 25 companies reporting four home offices are in North Carolina; four in Georgia; two in Kentucky; two in Pennsylvania; two in Louisiana; two in Florida; two in Virginia; and one in the District of Columbia, Arkansas, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee, Maryland, and South Carolina. Capitalization figures, which were readily available for only 14 of the 25 companies, total $1,256,000.00. The total assets of all the companies are $6,339,198.59. During the past fiscal year these companies paid insurance claims of colored policy holders and beneficiaries of the United States in a total amount of $3,072,189.00. The companies employed 6,575 colored persons, comprised of 527 clerical employees, 3,968 field, 1,523 medical examiners and 557 miscellaneous employees, to whom was paid a monthly amount of ARE YOUR W Name your salary and we w abled on account of sickness or ARE YOUR WAGES GUARANTEED?
