This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or his religious belief, is entitled to be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position.—Theodore Roosevelt. VOL. VI.—NO. 3 N.A.A.C.P THROWS MORE LIGHT ON RECENT FLORIDA OUTRAGES NEW YORK, April 27—A letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People quotes the Rev. O. H. Edenburgh, a survivor of the recent burnings and mob outbreaks in Florida, as saying that a number of towns were burned and that the burning lasted for a day and a half, educated Negroes being the heaviest sufferers from the mob. Rev. Edinburgh is quoted in part as follows: "Stanley Town, a town of more than one thousand Colored inhabitants, with only one white man who lived with a Colored wife, was totally destroyed by the exception of the Post Office, and everybody except those who escaped were killed. Here the Negroes owned stores, banks and everything, just as any other town. "In these towns, every preacher was whipped, being accused of influencing his people along lines different from what the white people thought wasn't best for Colored people to aspire and know—instilling them with new ideas along educational lines and educational conditions and unity—saying that they were growing haughty and rebellious. "In one town they whipped the presiding elder, Will Burton, by tying his hands and tying him to a tree that he had planted in his yard and which had grown up to be a large tree, three men whipping him with a black snake whip until the whip-gave out. Elder Burton was rushed to a hospital in Atlanta. The white people were running the Colored people out of this place, and Elder Burton asked the governor for a state militia for a protection of the Negro. So they heard of it and came to his house and asked his wife for him, but were told that he had not returned home. They made several similar visits before he came, telling his wife their intention, and assuring her they were not going to bother her nor anything she possessed, but only wanted Burton. When he came home the white people did as above described. "Elder Burton was said to be worth more than $55,000 and had been married to this young wife about a year, and had just bought her one of the most beautiful homes from some white man in the city—paying cash for it; and a few weeks prior to this time had presented his wife with a beautiful thousand dollar car, paying cash for it. But they did not bother anything but Elder Will Burton, who survived enough to be taken to Atlanta after a black snake whip was used upon his back. "When the white people were busy trying to run the Negro away, some tried to make preparation to leave but were prohibited during the mob and conflagration by day and the Night Riders by night." MRS. B.T.WASHINGTON DELIVERS ADDRESS TO WHITE SOUTHERNERS MRS. B.T.WASHINGTON DELIVERS ADDRESS TO WHITE SOUTHERNERS (Special to The Tribune) MONTGOMERY, Ala., April 27—Mrs. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute delivered a stirring address before a large audience of prominent white women here, using the Negro as her subject. Her speech marked the first public appearance of a colored woman before a white audience in the history of Montgomery, the cradle of the Confederacy. The occasion for the speech was the twenty-seventh annual meeting of the Woman's Presbytery. Mrs. Washington said that only through the cooperation of the Christian white people of the South can the colored people ever be of material service to the country. She said that she, as a Southern born and Southern reared woman realized the Southern people can be real true friends of the Negro, and that cooperation is vitally needed, especially of white women.

The students have rehearsed faithfully and all is in readiness for one of the best plays ever presented by high school students. The title of the play, "A Bunch of Fun," suggests the character of the entertainment, which is said to be laugh provoking from start to finish. Following are the characters and a synopsis of the play: CHARACTERS Rev. Stephen Grandon, "rector of St. Paul's" ..... "Evans Fortune Mary, his wife, "flustered on occa- sions" .....

Attends Morning Worship 45 Years Without Missing a Single Service OMAHA, Neb., Apr. 27—A record of faithful attendance at morning service which it will be difficult to either match or excel is that of Mr. Hyman W. Thompson, who arrived in the city last Wednesday from New Bern, N. C., to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. Herman Wiggins, of 2833 Franklin street. For 45 years Mr. Thompson never missed attending morning service at St. Cyprian's Episcopal church, New Bern, of which he was a communicant and for over forty years never missed attendance at Sunday school, of which he was superintendent. He was one of the first men from the south to attend Oberlin university, of which he is a graduate. During the recent disastrous fire in New Bern his home was totally destroyed. Since that time his son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Wiggins, have been urging him to come to Omaha, but he was reluctant to leave New Bern, where he is highly esteemed by members of both races. Omaha gives him cordial welcome. Wills-Firpo Bout May Never Be Held, Avers NEW YORK CITY, April 27—Luis Firpo, the big Argentinian, will not be allowed to fight Harry Wills. The picking would be too soft for the redoubtable "Brown Panther," and it would also be the means of robbing the "white heavy-weight champion" of another alibi. Jack Dempsey is still the "white heavyweight champion" of the world. There is a healthy, grown-up suspicion around town among the sports that either Jack "the Superb" or Luis "the Terrible" would be beaten black by Wills. Then what would they do for a "white champion?" Journey to Superior Mrs. W. J. Jones and daughters will motor to Superior Sunday to visit Mr. Jones, who is engaged in the cleaning and pressing business in that wide-awake town. Mr. A. J. Isabell will convey them in his big touring car. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923.

TEXAS PHYSICIAN SUPREME COMMANDER AMERICAN WOODMEN TEXAS PHYSICIAN SUPREME COMMANDER AMERICAN WOODMEN DENVER, Colo., Apr. 27—Dr. E. W. D. Abner of Austin, Texas, has been elected Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen to succeed the late H. C. White, by the Supreme Council. Dr. Abner has been a member of the order since 1907, and a member of the Supreme Council since 1910, about the time Mr. White assumed the leadership. He is regarded as able, aggressive, and a good business man. Many people expected the Vice-Supreme Commander to serve until 1925, the time for the next Quadrennial, but the constitution provides for the election by the Supreme Council at its first meeting after the vacancy exists. A change of the home of the headquarters is still being agitated, with Chicago as the likely selection. Colored Ministers of New Orleans Plan Welfare Center, Avers NEW ORLEANS, La., Apr. 27—A welfare center to cost $150,000, is planned for this city by the Colored ministers' association. It is to be built in the center of a block, while the surrounding ground will be used for a playground. The proposed welfare center will be equipped with a crapel, a gymnasium, a girls' rescue cottage, an old folks' home and a modern playground. Mr. I. McPinnon of 1621 East Jefferson street, has quite recovered from his recent indisposition. $10,000 IS THE GIFT OF MR. AND MRS. MALONE TO HOWARD UNIVERSITY ST. LOUIS, Mo., Apr. 27—During a recent visit to St. Louis of Rev. Emory B. Smith and President Durkee of Howard University, Washington, D. C., about $18,000 was subscribed toward $500,000 endowment fund for Howard Medical School, to put it in Class A. Heading the list of donors in St. Louis were $5,000 each subscribed by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, proprietors of Poro College. Among those contributing $1,000 each were: Dr. Chas, E. Herriott, Geo. B. Key, Dr. W. H. A. Barrett and Attorney D. W. Bowles. There were others who made smaller contributions which brings the total amount to about $18,000 in St. Louis. Efforts are being made to enlist every Howard alumnus and friend in the cause to make the Medical Department Class A. Everybody who gives $1,000 or more, their names will be cast in bronze on a large tablet which will be placed at a conspicuous point in the building where students and visitors will see the names of those who made the sacrifice that Howard Medical might live. WAIST COMPANY WILL GIVE EMPLOYMENT TO COLORED WOMEN WAIST COMPANY WILL GIVE EMPLOYMENT TO COLORED WOMEN Special to The Tribune GARY, Ind., April 27—Numbered among the institutions recently installed in Northern Indiana which show promise for future employment for Colored women is the Dellman Walst Company of Gary. This institution recently set their factory in motion. Women of both races are employed and Mrs. C. Lindsay, formerly of Chicago, a talented woman of our group, has been made floor lady in charge. This commercial enterprise has been fostered and promoted by the Mid City Realty Company, a concern which has been largely instrumental in building up Gary through its sales throughout the country. It is said that the firm feels it will be an advantage to demonstrate the possibilities of Colored women when trained in the garment making industry as well as to add an attractive feature to the bids which they make for home owners to settle in the steel city. The company announces the success of their new plan; that of constructing and financing homes on a cost plus basis and states that they have erected more than $500,000 worth of houses under this plan. Attempts to Take Bolt From White Girl and Is Sentenced to Death COLUMBIA, S. C., Apr. 27—Because he tried to take a bolt from a young white girl who picked up the bolt and refused to give it up, Bradford Boyd, an 18-year-old Colored boy, was sentenced last week to be electrocuted on the 4th of next May for "attempted rape on a young white woman." This is the second time Boyd has been sentenced to die. He stoutly maintains his innocence. Atlanta Constitution Sings Its "Swan Song" ATLANTA, Ga., Apr. 27—The Constitution announced in its issue of the Fifth of April that "Mental tests show that light skinned Negro workmen as a class are more intelligent than their darker brothers." Prominent Colored people are declaring that the Constitution is singing the "Swan Song" of Atlanta's "color line." Receives Sad News Mrs. A. M. Wooby of 1722 East Jefferson street, received the sad news of the death of her brother, Mr. John T. Oaff in Murphysboro, Tenn., early this month. He was an ardent church worker, having been superintendent of the Baptist Sunday school in his home town for the past fifteen years. He was 78 years old at the time of his death. It has been over thirty years since Mrs. Wooby saw her brother. SPLENDID RECITAL GIVEN BY ARTISTS AT LOCAL CHURCH SPLENDID RECITAL GIVEN BY ARTISTS AT LOCAL CHURCH Tuesday evening, April 17. Mesdames Roberta Dodd Crawford and Irma Jones Tresville appeared in joint recital at the A. M. E. church under the auspices of the Steward board. Mrs. Crawford, vocalist, came up to expectations. Her voice was rich and pleasing throughout its entire register, and remarkably well-modulated, for her softest tones could be heard and the words understood throughout the auditorium. Each number was enthusiastically applauded and she was forced to respond to several encores. Mrs. Tresville played the accompaniment with delicacy and taste, also rendered several difficult selections. Her unassuming manner, naturalness, simplicity and personal charm made her a favorite with her audience from the moment of her appearance. Over 200 people were present to witness the performance, one of the best ever rendered in Phoenix. While in the city, the artists were guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. F. Gardner, 930 East Washington street. They left Wednesday for points north, where they will fill engagements. They made a favorable impression on the music-loving citizens of Phoenix, and should they return for a future engagement, a larger auditorium would have to be secured to accommodate all who would want to hear them. Following is the program as rendered: Rondo Capriccioso ... Mendelsohn Irma Jones Tresville a—A Birthday ... Cowan b—Love Song ... Stewart c—Homing ... Del Riego b—Bamboula.....S Colridge Taylor c—Deep River..... Roberta Dodd Crawford a—Polonaise in C Sharp Minor. Chopin b—Absent Irma Jones Tresville a—Ah Je Veux Vivre, (French) from "Romeo and Juliett"—Gounod b—The Songs My Mother Taught Me.....Dvorak Roberta Dodd Crawford a—Just You.....Burleigh b—Go Down Moses.....Burleigh c—Thank God for a Garden Del Riego Roberta Dodd Crawford Roberta Dodd Crawford Colored Man Secures Patent for Improvement on Inscandescent Bulbs (Special to The Tribune) WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 27—G. W. Turner, of this city, formerly of Cleveland, has been granted a patent for an improvement on incandescent light bulbs. Mr. Turner has perfected an improvement whereby the glass bulb can be used until broken. The metal top of the bulb is so made that it can be screwed off from the bulb and new wires can be put in whenever they burn out. As it is now, the bulb in no good when the wires burn out, so by this new invention the only cost will be the inserting of more wires, which can be done at a very small cost, according to Turner's statement. Charges Brought Against Former Bank Organizer CHICAGO, Ill., Apr. 27—P. W. Chavers, trustee of the defunct Woodfolk bank, has been given one month by Judge Friend to make a complete accounting and settlement. A petition filed by creditors charged Chavers with falling to deposit profits, issues, and rents from property in Columet avenue, named for himself, and other irregularities. Chavers was one of the organizers of the Douglass National Bank, but his connection with the bank has been severed. Ladies of the S. I. A. Club meet Monday afternoon, April 23, with Mrs W. C. Hackett, 1334 East Jefferson street, and held an interesting meeting. Many were present and much business of importance was transacted. Dainty refreshments were served by the genial hostess, after which the meeting adjourned to meet Monday afternoon, April 30, with Mrs. C. W Hawkins, 143 South 2nd street. Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there can be no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress.— Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year HARDING'S FATHER SUGGESTS RE-UNION OF BLUES AND GRAYS HARDING'S FATHER SUGGESTS RE-UNION OF BLUES AND GRAYS (Special to The Tribune) (Special to The Tribune) NEW ORLEANS, La., Apr. 27—At the closing sessions of the Confederate re-union considerable uproar was caused when an aged confederate veteran offered a resolution for a joint reunion with the G. A. R. at Washington next year. Dr. George Harding, of Marion, O., father of President Harding, spoke twice during the day. He declared that he considered Robert E. Lee the gratest of American generals and Jefferson Davis one of the country's greatest statesmen. He said that he felt very kindly towards the South inasmuch as his grandmother was a cousin of the mother of Jefferson Davis. He declared that he wanted a reunion of the blue and the gray in Washington next year if possible. General Julian S. Carr, of Durham, N. C., commander-in-chief, at a session during the discussion of the term "rebel" as applied to the confederate soldiers, shouted: "I'm a rebel and a Ku Klux too," and shouts of "I am too," came from all quarters of the auditorium. Pandemonium reigned when a confederate veteran, apparently over 90 years of age, offered a resolution declaring that inasmuch as the ranks of the Blue and Gray were fast thinning and animosity long ceased, suggested that a committee be appointed to meet a similar committee from the G. A. R. to perfect arrangements for a joint reunion in the near future. Almost as one voice shouts came from all corners of the hall, "Not in a Thousand Years," and men leaped to their feet. The resolution was tabled without even a second. One speaker pointed to the old man and shouted, "You look old enough to have known better than to have put such a measure before this body." Commenting on the meeting, Attorney Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, said: "The South is hostile to every thought which entertains the slightest sympathy for the cause of the Federal army. If the North would admit today that the South was right in 1860; that Grant forced Lee to surrender by strength of money and man power, there would be a reunion, the like of which this world never saw. "President Harding, nor his father can ever 'sop the South' with their 'united country' oratory. The country is not united in the eyes of the Southerners, and never will be united until the North admits that the cause of the South was right. "And the South uses the Negro as its convenient argument. The North must admit that the Negro has no business voting, holding office, attaining a high degree of intelligence through education, nor venturing to assert the slightest desire to be considered equal to other specimens of God's creation, to win the approval of the South. If the North can eliminate the Negro from the plan of creation, if it can be agreed between the two great sections that the Negro is not even human, then the 'united country' President Harding and his father are talking about will become a possibility. "As long as a Negro lives, there will be a solid South, separate and distinct from the rest of the whole world," he declared. PAST YEAR SHOWS BIG INCREASE IN CHURCH MEMBERSHIP WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 27—Religious bodies are enjoying a steady growth. Figures made public recently show that churches, both white and Colored, made their largest increase in membership last year.

This is a fight in which all can join, because of the far-reaching benefits to be gained by its suceess, The N.A.A.C.P., stands for equal rights, equal and exact justice and equal opportunities for all men regardless of race, color or creed. On account of being denied certain rights, that are freely accorded other citizens and aliens, the colored peo- ple of this country have found themselves greatly handi- capped in the enjoyment of the labor of their hands, the skill of their brain and the pursuits of happiness. There- fore, they feel that it is quite necessary for them to or- ganize for their own advancement and protection. There is no one who is so stupid as not to know some- thing about the power of organization. The power of or- ganization lies in its numbers. There is so much to be done by an organization of this kind. And whatever is done, as a rule, the whole race is the beneficiary or at least the entire community is benefitted. Just how some of our so-called leaders and thinkers can move and act so indifferently to a movement of this kind, is pretty lard to reason. We can readily see why we as a group might differ in polities, church ereeds and societies, because it’s largely a matter of choice or follow- ing after the footsteps of our parents, ete. But we have no choice when our rights as citizens are at stake, What affects one, affects all. There is no use in sitting supinely by with deaf ears to the daily warnings that are ever be- fore your eyes. Every time a colored person is mistreated in any form simply because he or she is colored, the chains are being forged tighter which are choking our very lives out. Where are those who boast of their loyalty and race pride? Where are those who suffer with those who are insulted daily because they are identified with the colored race? Surely this is the time to show your loyalty. It’s utter foolishness to presume that you and yours are se- cure as long as the least among you can be lynched with impunity. No one can say the cause is not right. If there are those who differ with the method of administration: join in and help bring about a change. The N.A.A.C.P. will live on. The work it set out to do will triumph as sure as the coming of the Lord. Those who join in the fight are hastening the salvation of the race. Instead of asking for 1000 new members, 2000 men and women in Phoenix should be anxious to answer the call, and count it a privilege to be among those who are fighting for freedom. Surely there will be no slackers among us in this drive. The solicitors are earnest, not for themselves, but for the race. Who can afford to stand idly by? Did it ever occur to you that you are a partner in the municipality in which you live? Did it ever impress you that you are a stockholder in the corporation you recog- nize as your home town or your home city; that you have a voice in all municipal deliberations, and that you count as much as any other individual in the direction of its af- fairs? If you are voter you have as much to say as any other man or woman regarding the affairs of your com- munity. You may not be a speech-maker, but the faet that you are a voter gives you equal authority with other citizens. Your vote counts just as much as any other indi- vidual vote. If you are not a speech-maker it is no sign that you have not the right to bg and if you cultivate the talent that God gave you you might be surprised at the ease and clearness with which you can make your ideas understood. Your being a citizen carries with it the right to be heard upon all topics of common interest; in the se- lection of municipal officers, in the appropriation of mon- ey for any purpose whatever, in public improvements and in every other matter that may come up for deliberation. Do not forget this fact, and do not go away from the vot- ing places to make a kick, if you do not like the way things are going. Make your kick where and when it will amount to something. Remember that the community in which you live is your home as much as it is the home of any other citizen, and that you owe it a duty to look after its interests and do all you can for its welfare. Boost your town. Say a good word for it whenever you can, and you will find that your sentiment will grow among your neigh- bors, and all will be boosting for the old home town.

Although the Negro has spent upward of $90,000,000 in church property, there has been no kicking. ‘‘Sing and shout as much as you may; that’s all right,’ says the white man, The church in- volves no commercial biisiness, and so Negro business has caused us thought among the financial goods and demi-gods of America. | The Negro in St. Louis spends, as the writer pointed ‘out in Reedy’s Mirror three years ago, more than $1,000,- 000yearly for shoes, $1-000,000 yearly for clothing, and $25,000,000 yearly for food. | The St. Louis Negro does not attempt to meet any of his daily needs nobody kicks him. He receives the most courteous attention in stores operated for him but not by him. | No factory will employ him at skilled work, except | under great duress, and then only in very small numbers. | | They know the Negro is dead. He can’t kick. There-| fore they don’t fear him and they don’t kick him. People Kick and Kick to Kill You When You Show Life! They kicked and killed Christ. He had life. They kick the Jew because he’s armed, and meets his opponent at every angle. He knows as much as his op- pressor in any line, And he is a business genius and works. Nobody Kicks the Negro in Business Because He is No Contender Over $12,000,000 is said to be deposited in banks in St. Louis by Negroes. But they won’t finance a Negro business, because the Negro would soon become a substan- tial competitor. Hence, they don’t kick him. They pat him and offer a welcome smile.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS OPEN TO NEGRO BOYS The colored boy who wishes to become a farmer can how receive practical agricultural training in the public schools of his community, says Calvin F. MeIntosh, mem- ‘ber of the Federal Board of Vocational Education. In 15 of the 17 southern states which maintain separate public schools for Negroes, vocational schools of agriculture have been organized. In these schools, the colored boy is of- fered intensive training to fit him for all branches of practical farming. At the close of the fiscal year 1921-22, a total of 165 vocational agricultural schools for Negroes were in oper- ation. This number compares with 133 schools, reported for the previous year. Pupils enrolled in agricultural classes in 1921-22 numbered 4,064. . In 1920-21, the enroll- ment was only 3,243. The inerease for the year approxi- mated 25 per cent. The only limited factor to the expansion of these schools is the lack of trained Negro vocational teachers: says Mr. McIntosh. To supply teachers, the states are maintaining teacher-training schools. Last year, 280 prospective vocational teachers were in training in these schools, In 12 of the states, further assistance is given to vocational teachers by itinerant teacher trainers who spend part of each year traveling from school to school, and aiding in the organization of local work. Negro vocational education is supported by combined federal, state and local appropriations. Under the Fed- eral Vocational Education Act, the states receive an an- nual grant of federal vocational funds, on condition that they match the federal money, dollar for dollar, by state and local appropriations. All schools receiving federal and state money must be public, and must be maintained at approved standards. The instruction in these schools must be of a character to actually fit the graduate pupil to successfully enter the vocation of agriculture. . The cost of such schools is almost completely reim- bursed by the yield of faim products of the pupils, in supervised practice work. All agricultural pupils are re- quired to put in six months ef each year in practice farm- ing, under school supervision. During the fiscal year 1920-21, farm projects were completed by 2,475 pupils in the colored schools. The total crop yield from such pro- jects was $211,389.08. A new development in the vocational field is the or- ganization of part-time and evening classes, for adult farmers. At the close of the fiscal year 1921-22, there were 64 part-time or evening schools in operation, with an enrollment of 1,035 pupils. Through the part-time and evening schools: vocational training is extended to the great group which is already outside of the public schools. The Negro vocational schools are conducted directly by the states, with the co-operation of the Federal Board of Vocational Education. H. 0.

KALAMITY KU KLUX KOULDN'T KEEP KLEAN-KOPPED KOIN-KAN KONVINCE KOURT "The most sinister movement that has threatened the peace and dignity of the United States since the secessionist movement that preceded the civil war," was an able editor's comment on the Ku Klux Klan a few months ago. He was right in describing the movement as "sinister," but he was wrong in assuming that a movement so puerile could threaten "the peace and dignity of the United States." The Klan, to swell its membership and enrich its grafting officials resorted to the lowest tactics it is possible to resort to for the purpose of building up an organization: it appealed to primitive hates and lusts, age-old racial and religious prejudice.. It declared itself an enemy of Roman Catholics, Jews and negroes, and in fact. SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923 K. K. K. KU KLUX KOULDN'T THE KOIN—KAN KO "The most sinister men the peace and dignity of the cessionist movement that probable editor's comment on the ago. He was right in describler," but he was wrong in puerile could threaten "the United States." The Klan, to swell its grafting officials resorted to sible to resort to for the purification: it appealed to primacial and religious prejudice of Roman Catholics, Je did not regard as worthy to become members any persons except native-born white Americans of Protestant faith. But the most active and effective opponents the Klan organizers encountered were native-born white Americans of Protestant faith, or native-born white Americans with no faith at all. The Jews, as has been characteristic of Jews for centuries, refused to fight when the Klan threatened them. But Christians, both Catholics and Protestants, stood ready to protect the Jews in the United States, and the Klansmen knew it. There fore, while in many communities the misguided hooded imbeciles went about at night, dragging people out of bed to be tortured or murdered, there is no instance on record of a Catholic or a Jew being whipped or murdered by them. The Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization, was always contemptuous of Klan pretensions. But the K. C.'s did not molest the Klan; they only waited patiently for it to attempt to make good some of its boasts against Catholics. And the leaders of the K. C.'s were never unaware of the nature of the Ku Klux organization or the identity of the people behind it. Some rank-and-file Catholics may have thought the Masons were endorsing the Klan, but K. C. leaders and prominent Jews who themselves were Masons, knew that no reputable Mason belonged to the Klan or approved of its ideals or conduct. There are two big patriotic fraternal organizations in this country, both of which are superior to Ku Klux ideals; they are the Masons and the K. C.'s. The mounting ambition of Colonel William Joseph Simmons to be called "emperor" rather than "wizard" and the proclamation issued by himself WHILE he was a wizard making himself an emperor, was the first tiny mole hill that now has grown into a mountain of contention among ambitious Klan leaders and threatens to land some of them in jail for malfeasance. When Simmons proclaimed himself an "emperor," one Evans had himself elected "wizard" and declared that his was the highest office and that there could be no emperor of the Klan. The tide of sentiment among members was skilfully directed against Simmons. He saw himself being edged completely out of the orgainzation he founded, and in order to acquire some adherents of his own, he organized a woman klan of Kluxettes. Evans refused to allow the lady kluxers to be affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan and a bitter fight for control of the original organization, with, OF COURSE, the right to appropriate the graft money, ensued and is still raging. The Philadelphia Public Ledger recently had the following to say editorially about the trouble in the Klan: "All is confusion—indeed, one might almost say khaos—in the Grand Headquarters of the Ku Klux. Internal explosions are occurring daily, and no one knows what the end may be. "A year or so ago Wizard Simmons, sitting alone in his palace at Atlanta, asked himself whether wizarding were not, after all, rather rough work, and whether it wouldn't be nicer to be an emperor with a throne 'n' everything. And Emperor of the Invisible Empire he became by his own proclamation. It was not long till Emperor Simmons had cause to wonder whether he hadn't elevated himself out of power. A new Imperial Wizard, one H. W. Evans, had been appointed. Emperor Simmons seems often to have thought fondly of the $3 per hood which he had garnered in earlier and happier days. He appears to have descended from his throne to make a few inquiries about it, only to be ignored by his chief magician. So he went to the lawyers. He started a suit, with sheriffs, affidavits, lawyers, seizures, injunctions and counter-injunctions all in a magnificent row. He ousted Evans for a day. Then he was ousted in turn. When he found himself being edged out of the order, he was suddenly illuminated within by a new inspiration. He would organize the Kluxettes! He would have a ladies' Klan, and sell hoods and furniture for their klaverns. These are times of equal rights, and if there is any fun to be had out of tar and feathers, why shouldn't women have their share? "When the emperor of the Ku Klux announced to the world that he was organizing the feminine Klan, the Kamella, the new Imperial Wizard, Evans, ordered Klansmen everywhere within his jurisdiction to have nothing to do with the Kluxettes or their order. Evans charged Simmons with greed; Simmons charged Evans with greed. . . . "There are conferences and uproarious rows in all the klaverns of the Klux. Sentiment among the officials is divided. Some are for the Emperor and some are for the Imperial Wizard. "These people are not krazy. They are not even slightly kukoo. "Koln is koln." Americans worthy of the name are less interested in whether William Joseph Simmons is an emperor, a wizard or a fool, than they are interested in the fact that the squabble over booty among Klan leaders may result in destroying the organization. As the Norfolk, Va., Ledger-Dispatch puts it: "What is of interest is that this legal proceeding is very apt to put the eternal kibosh on the whole mass of flummer and flubdub, half absurd and half vicious, known as the Ku Klux." An Atlanta correspondent of the New York World writes that already Klans in several states are disbanding as a result of the fight for control. And the La Grange, Ga., Reporter remarks: "If the fight keeps up between the leaders of the Klan, the Klansmen may be so busy mobbing one another that they won't have time to mob any more outsiders." THE JURYMAN Trial by jury is a good deal like absolute monarchy in one respect; it is an excellent theory provided you can get the right men to carry it out. Max Steuer, a New York lawyer, said recently that "men of big affairs make the best jurors." It is always difficult to get competent jurymen. An incident is related of an important insurance case which was once tried in Chicago involving many millions of dollars. The taking of evidence and the pleas of the counsel had occupied three weeks. Just before the jury retired a venerable looking juryman with long whiskers arose and asked the judge if he might be permitted to put one question. The judge consented. "Well," said the juryman, stroking his beard and looking very judicial, "there is one word which has been used a great deal which I do not understand, and I wish the court would tell me what it means. It is the word 'defendant.'" 16,426,759 BARRELS OF OIL IN MONTH'S RECORD SAN FRANCISCO—California produced 16,426,759 barrels of crude oil in February, of which forty-three new wells brought in during the month contributed 77,221 barrels, according to figures made public here today by the American Petroleum Institute.

He shouted. There was no answer, and he went on. Fifty feet! Seventy-five feet! Then he stopped short with a gasp. Twisted and torn before him were the timbers of the tunnel, while muck and refuse lay everywhere. A cave-in—another cave-in—at almost the exact spot where the one had occurred years before, shutting off the chamber from communication with the shaft, tearing and rending the new timbers which had been placed there and imprisoning Harry behind them! Fairchild shouted again and again, only gaining for his answer the ghost-like echoes of his own voice as they traveled to the shaft and were thrown back again. He tore off his coat and WILLIAMS A Cave-int1 cap, and attacked the timbers like the fear-maddened man he was, dragging them by superhuman force out of the way and clearing a path to the refuse. Hours passed, while the sweat poured from, his forehead and his muscles seemed to tear themselves loose from their fastenings with the exertion that was placed upon them. Foot after foot, the muck was torn away, as Fairchild, with pick and shovel, forced a tunnel through the great mass of rocky debris which choked the drift. Onward—onward—at last to make a small opening in the barricade, and to lean close to it that he might shout again. But still there was no answer. Feverish now, Fairchild worked with all the reserve strength that was in him. Behind that broken mass, Fairchild felt sure, was his partner, torn, bleeding through the effects of some accident, he did not know what, past answering his calls, perhaps dead. Greater became the hole in the cave-in; soon it was large enough to admit his body. Seizing his carbide lamp, Fairchild made for the opening and crawled through, hurrying onward toward the chamber where the stope began, calling Harry's name at every step, in vain. The place was empty, except for the pile of stone and refuse which had been torn away by dynamite explosions in the hanging wall, where Harry evidently had shot away the remaining refuse in a last effort to see what lay in that direction—stones and muck which told nothing. On the other side— Fairchild stared blankly. The hole that he had made into the foot wall had been filled with dynamite and tamped, as though ready for shootings. But the charge had not been exploded. Instead—on the ground lay the remainder of the tapping paper and a short foot and a half of fuse, with its fulminate of mercury cap attached, where it had been pulled from its berth by some great force and hastily stamped out. And Harry—Harry was gone! CHAPTER XVI It was as though shades of the past had come to life again, to repeat in the Twentieth century a happening of the Nineteenth. There was only one difference—no form of a dead man now lay against the foot wall, to rest there more than a score of years until it should come to light, a pile of bones in time-shredded clothing. And as he thought of it, Fairchild remembered that the earthly remains of "Sissie" Larsen had lain within almost a few feet of the spot where he had drilled the prospect hole into the foot wall, there to discover the ore that promised bonanza. But this time there was nothing and no clue to the mystery of Harry's disappearance. Fairchild suddenly strengthened with an idea. Perhaps, after all, he had been on the other side of the cave-in and had hurried on out of the mine. But in that event, would be not have waited for his return, to tell him of the accident? However, it was a chance, and Fairchild took it. Once more he crawled through the hole that he had made in the cave-in and sought the outward world. Then he hurried down Kentucky gulch and to the Sampler. But Harry had not been there. He went through town, asking questions, striving his best to shield his anxiety, cloaking his queries under the cover of cursory remarks. Harry had not been seen. At last, with the coming of night, he turned toward the boarding house, and on his arrival, Mother Howard, sighting his white face, hurried to him. "Have you seen Harry?" he asked. "No—he hasn't been here." It was the last chance. Clutching THE CROSS-CUT fear at his heart, he told Mother Howard of the happenings at the mine, quickly, as plainly as possible. Then once more he went forth, to retrace his steps to the Blue Poppy, to buck the wind and the fine snow and the high, piled drifts, and to go below. But the surroundings were the same: still the cave-in, with its small hole where he had torn through it, still the ragged hanging wall where Harry had fired the last shots of dynamite in his investigations, still the trampled bit of fuse with its cap attached. Nothing more. Back into the black night, with the winds whistling through the pines. Back to wandering about through the hills, hurrying forward at the sight of every faint, dark object against the snow, in the hope that Harry, crippled by the cave-in, might have some way gotten out of the shaft. But they were only boulders or logs or stumps of trees. At midnight, Fairchild turned once more toward town and to the boarding house. But Harry had not appeared. There was only one thing left to do. This time, when Fairchild left Mother Howard's, his steps did not lead him toward Kentucky gulch. Instead he kept straight on up the street, past the little line of store buildings and to the courthouse, where he sought out the sole remaining light in the bleak, black building—Sheriff Bardwell's office. That personage was nodding in his chair, but removed his feet from the desk and turned drowsily as Fairchild entered. "Well?" he questioned, "what's up?" "My partner has disappeared. I want to report to you—and see if I can get some help." "Disappeared? Who?" "Harry Harkins. He's a big Cornishman, with a large mustache, very red face, about sixty years old. I should judge—" "Wait a minute," Bardwell's eyes narrowed. "Ain't he the fellow I arrested in the Blue Poppy mine the night of the Old Times dance?" "Yes." "And you say he's disappeared? When does his trial come up?" "A week from tomorrow." "And he's disappeared." A slow smile came over the other man's lips. "I don't think it will help much to start any relief expedition for him. The thing to do is to get a picture and a general description and send it around to the police in the various parts of the country! That'll be the best way to find him!" Fairchild's teeth gritted, but he could not escape the force of the argument, from the sheriff's standpoint. For a moment there was silence, then the miner came closer to the desk. "Sheriff," said he as calmly as possible, "you have a perfect right to give that sort of view. That's your business—to suspect people. However, some sort of an accident happened at the mine this afternoon—a cave-in or an explosion that tore out the roof of the tunnel—and I am sure that my partner is wandering among the hills. Will you help me to find him?" The sheriff wheeled about in his chair and studied a moment. Then he rose. "Guess I will," he announced. "It can't do any harm to look for him, anyway." Half an hour later, aled by two deputies who had been summoned from their homes, Fairchild and the sheriff left for the hills to begin the search for the missing Harry. Late the next afternoon, they returned to town, tired, their horses almost crawling in their dragging pace after sixteen hours of travel through the drifts of the hills and gullies. Harry had not been found, and so Fairchild reported when, with drooping shoulders, he returned to the boarding house and to the waiting Mother Howard. And both knew that this time Harry's disappearance was no joke, as it had been before. They realized that back of it all was some sinister reason, some mystery which they could not solve—for the present, at least. That night, Fairchild faced the future and made his resolve There was only a week now until Harry's case should come to trial. Only a week until the failure of the defendant to appear should throw the deeds of the Blue Poppy mine into the hands of the court, to be sold for the amount of the ball. And in spite of the fact that Fairchild now felt his mine to be a bonanza, unless some sort of a miracle could happen before that time, the mine was the same as lost. True, it would go to the highest bldder at a public sale and any money brought in above the amount of ball would be returned to him. But who would be that bldder? Who would get the mine—perhaps for twenty or twenty-five thousand dollars, when it now was worth millions? Certainly not he. Unless something should happen to intervene, unless Harry should return, or in some way Fairchild could raise the necessary five thousand dollars to furnish a cash bond and again recover the deeds of the Blue Poppy, he was no better off than before the strike was made. Long he thought, finally to come to his conclusion, and then, with the air of a gambler who has placed his last bet to win or lose, he went to bed. But morning found him awake long before the rest of the house was stirring. The first workers on the street that morning found Fairchild offering them six dollars a day. And by eight o'clock, ten of them were at work in the drift of the Blue Poppy mine, working against time that they might repair the damage which had been caused by the cave-in. That day and the next and the next after that, they labored. Then Fairchild glanced at the progress that was being made and sought out the pseudo-former. THE CROSS-CUT "Will it be finished by night?" he asked. "Easily." "Very well. I may need these men to work on a day and night shift—I'm not sure. I'll be back in an hour." Away he went and up the shaft, to travel as swiftly as possible through the drift-piled road down Kentucky gulch and to the Sampler. There he sought out old Undertaker Chastine, and with him went to the proprietor. "My name is Fairchild, and I'm in trouble," he said candidly. "I've brought Mr. Chastine with me because he assayed some of my ore a few days ago and believes he knows what it is worth. I'm working against time to get five thousand dollars. If I can produce ore that runs two hundred dollars to the ton, and if I'll sell it to you for one hundred seventy-five dollars a ton until I can get the money I need, provided I can get the per- VAN NIE "Will You Put It Through for Me?" mission of the court—will you put it through for me?" The Sampler owner smiled. "If you'll let me see where you're getting the ore." Then he figured a moment. "That'd be thirty or forty ton," came at last. "We could handle that as fast as you could bring it in here." But a new thought had struck Fairchild—a new necessity for money. "Til give it to you for one hundred and fifty dollars a ton, providing you do the hauling and lend me enough after the first day or so to pay my men." "But why all the excitement—and the rush?" "My partner's Harry Harkins. He's due for trial Friday, and he's disappeared. The mine is up as security. You can see what will happen unless I can substitute a cash bond for the amount due before that time. Isn't that sufficient?" "It ought to be. But as I said, I want to see where the ore comes from." "You'll see in the morning—if I've got it," answered Fairchild with a new hope thrilling in his voice. "All that I have so far is an assay of some drill scrapings. I don't know how thick the vein is or whether it's going to pinch out in ten minutes after we strike it. But I'll know mighty soon." Every cent that Robert Fairchild possessed in the world was in his pockets—two hundred dollars. After he had paid his men for their three days of labor, there would be exactly twenty dollars left. But Fairchild did not hesitate. To Farrell's office he went and with him to an interview, in chambers, with the judge. Then, the necessary permission having been granted, he hurried back to the mine and into the drift, there to find the last of the muck being scraped away from beneath the site of the cave-in. Fairchild paid off. Then he turned to the foreman. "How many of these men are game to take a chance?" "Pretty near all of 'em—if there's any kind of a gamble to it." "There's a lot of gamble. I've got just twenty dollars in my pocket—enough to pay each man one dollar apiece for a night's work if my hunch doesn't pan out. If it does pan, the wages are twenty dollars a day for three days, with everybody, including myself, working like h-1! Who's game?" The answer came in unison. Fair-child led the way to the chamber, seized a hammer and took his place. "There's two-hundred-dollar ore back of this foot wall if we can break in and start a new stope," he announced. "It takes a six-foot hole to reach it, and we can have the whole story by morning. Let's go!" Along the great length of the foot wall, extending all the distance of the big chamber, the men began their work, five men to the drills and as many to the sledges, as they started their double-jacking. Midnight came, the first of the six-foot drills sank to its ultimate depth. Then the second and third and fourth; finally the fifth. They moved on. Hours more of work, and the operation had been repeated. The workmen hurried for the powder house, far down the drift, by the shaft, lugging back in their pockets the yellow, candle-like sticks of dynamite, with their waxy wrappers and their gelatinous contents, together with fuses and caps. Crimping nippers—the inevitable accompaniment of a miner—came forth from the pockets of the men. Careful tamping, then the men took their places at the fuses. "Give the word!" one of them announced crisply as he turned to Fairchild.
