VOL. VI.—No. 46 A. M. E. DELEGATES REFUSE TO ENDORSE BISHOP H. B. PARKS (Special to The Tribune) KANSAS CITY, Kans., Jan. 25—The delegates from the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church, which met here last week, endorsed the Rev. Dr. William H. Peck, of St. Louis, for Bishop. These delegates were elected by their several conferences, composed of ministers and laymen, and will be the official spokesmen for the Fifth District at the General Conference, which is to be held at Louisville, Ky., in May. Dr. Peck is pastor of St. James A. M. E. church at St. Louis, and a brother of Dr. F. Jesse Peck, President of Western University, Quindaro, Kans. In allowing his name to be presented to the delegates for endorsement for the high honors, Dr. Peck stated that he would be governed by the will of the delegates present, but Rev. W. H. Thomas of Denver, whose name was also presented, stated that he was a candidate if he was endorsed, but would not regard the vote, if he was defeated. He was defeated. Bishop Parks Failed Perhaps a greater display of courage has never been witnessed among ministers who are directly under a bishop, than was shown by delegates when an attempt was made to put over an endorsement for the return of Bishop H. B. Parks to the district. With the Bishop presiding, looking every man in the face and using all the generalship that has come to him through years of experience, Bishop Parks failed to receive the endorsement of the delegates. Everything seemed to be going smoothly for the asking at the General Conference for his return, when the goodly plans were completely upset by the objection of Rev. C. S. Bowman, of the North Missouri Conference, who styled himself "the smallest integral of a conference." The climax, which was not wholly unexpected and was forecast in the occurrences of Tuesday, came when Rev. J. F. Griffin, pastor of Ebenezer Church, Kansas City, offered a motion would carry without opposition action of the several conferences and indorse the asking of the return of Bishop Parks by the General Conference. It seemed as though the motion would carry without opposition in spite of the declarations made Tuesday in the absence of the Bishop when Rev. Bowman announced his opposition. He told the delegates plainly that he was not in favor of the motion nor of the Bishop's return and when he had finished there was no doubt as to where he stood. Dr. W. H. Peck, of St. Louis, and Dr. W. H. Thomas, Denver, each spoke upon the motion following Rev. Bowman. Bishop Parks had expressed surprise at finding that there was opposition to his return and that it was an issue. Dr. Peck's talk was from an informal point of view in answer to the Bishop's expressed surprise. The length of the Bishop's tenure over this district, the peculiar nature of the bishopric and the fact that the assignment of the Bishops is in the hands of a committee rather than in the hands of the Bishop's Council were reasons given by Dr. Peck as to why his return was an issue. For the good of the Bishop himself and the church as well, Dr. Peck stated that he doubted whether the Bishop should return to the district even though his return were endorsed by every conference in it. In stating his views, Rev. Osborne said that he had been told by certain men that they "controlled" the Bishop in matters of appointments and favors. This the Bishop disputed and branded as an "unmitigated lie," but neither accuser nor disputant pressed the issue. Opposition of a definite kind is said to have first developed in St. Louis on the occasion of the election of delegates from that conference. The motion to reaffirm the endorsements given by the conferences to the return of Bishop Parks was tabled without a vote out of deference to the feelings of the Bishop on the one hand and on the other it was accepted as a relief from being brought to a showdown. It was vetoed that the discussion over the endorsement of the Bishop be stricken from the minutes and excluded from the secretary's report to the church press. BLACK LIST TO BE ESTABLISHED BY DRS. IN WASH.. D. C. (Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C.—The possibility of Washington physicians establishing a "black list," composed of patients whom they consider able to pay, but who steadfastly refuse to, is imminent. It has been proposed that once every three months physicians would send in to a central bureau the names of those patients who have refused to pay them. These names would be kept on file and whenever a physician received a call to new patients he would call the bureau and find out their status. It is claimed that such a bureau has been found to work satisfactorily in Chicago. The local doctors have no desire to list the names of poor people who cannot pay, but are after those who waste their money on luxuries and then refuse to pay for medical services rendered. MRS.

WOMEN WILL PLAY IMPORTANT PART IN COMING ELECTIONS WASHINGTON, D. C.-The 775, 000 colored women of voting age, who live in the northern and border states, will be interested in the following general statement recently made by Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, the noted woman leader, who is serving as Vice-Chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee. "In the coming national campaign," said Mrs. Upton, "women will play as important a part in the ranks of Republican organizations as men. They will be held accountable for results in whatever fields of the organization they are placed. Women are Republicans for the same reason that men are Republicans, and they should appreciate the fact that they, in common with the men, reap benefits equal with men from any policy which operates to the prosperity and welfare of the country, and they suffer equally with men from any policy which, because it is uneconomic, or short-sighted, brings depression to business, idleness to industry and suspicion and hatred to the hearts of the people." This statement will appeal with force to the 170,000 colored women who are gainfully employed in the manufacturing and mechanical industries; in trade; in professional service; in clerical occupations, and by the transportation systems of the country. And it will also influence the thousands of colored women voters whose husbands have found steady employment in industry through the curtailment, by a Republican Administration, of the flood of European immigrants who for years have stood in the way of the industrial advancement of colored wage-earners. CARD OF THANKS We desire to express our appreciation for the loving kindness and tender sympathy expressed by our neighbors and friends, Mrs. Leon Manning, Mrs. Vaughn, Mrs. Jones, and many others, during the recent illness and death of Mrs. Georgia Favors, and especially to make mention of the attentiveness and help of the Yarwood & Hockery Mortuary, who shipped the body to St. Louis, arriving in perfect state. Funeral was one of the largest in St. Louis, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Favors, May the loving Father abundantly bless and prosper you in your labor of love. Rev. Z. Z. Passes Through Rev. Z. Z. Johnson, presiding elder of the Arizona-New Mexico District of the California Conference, of the C. M. E. church, spent several days in the city on business. He was returning from Somerton, Ariz., where he organized a C. M. E. Mission and appointed the Rev. Wynne, one of the pioneer ministers of this church, as pastor. Dr. Johnson stated that he with Mrs. Johnson, who is District Superintendent of Missions in Arizona and New Mexico, will return to Phoenix the first Sunday in February, where he will hold his second quarterly conference at the local C. M. E. church. This will be Mrs. Johnson's first official visit to Phoenix and the ladies of the C. M. E. church are planning to welcome her in a manner that becomes her high station. To National Convention Our own Philip L. Green, of Phoenix, has been selected by Republican National Committeeman, Andrew J. Beaumert, Jr., as a representative of our group to accompany the Republican delegation to the National Convention in Cleveland in June. Mr. Green is rehearsing daily so that he may be ready to respond to an invitation to make a speech on the Convention floor in favor of his choice for President. Mr. Green is known as the boy orator in Arizona and we are certain that he will give a good account of himself when called upon to make that famous speech. Over From Ray Mr. J. J. McDonald, his wife and son Bert, of Ray, Ariz., spent the holidays in Phoenix and were guests in the home of Mr. McDonald's brother, Dr. A. A. McDonald of 1645 East Jefferson street. Bert is the Ray agent for the Tribune and is quite a hustler. He is a student in the Ray High School. Scientists May Be Able To Change Sex of Humans, Avers (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK—During the recent meeting of scientists here, there was demonstrated the possibility of changing the sex of pigeons. A full-grown female pigeon was changed so that she acquired all the characteristics of a male, even in the delicate art of making love. If possible to change pigeons, the step to changing animals likewise will be easy. Then lo and behold, the making of different sexes among humans will follow as naturally as day and night. Think of what is in store for us. A young man falls in love with a girl. The engagement is a long one. He goes away with the expectation of marrying when he returns. She gets tired waiting, has herself changed into a man. When the fond lover returns, he finds his sweetheart has become a man, and has probably married his sister. Heavens, we will soon have fairy tales outdone in real life. Colored Man Winner First Prize of $500 in National Contest Prof. Ambrose Caliver of Fisk University has today received the information from the American Woodworking Machinery Company of Rochester, N. Y., that the essay which the entered in their educational contest last September has been awarded the first cash prize of $500 by the jury of awards. The contest was entered into by teachers, supervisors and directors of vocational education and manual arts from all over the country. The subject of the essay which was used by all the contestants was: "What I Am Doing or Propose to Do to Make the Woodworking or Cabinetmaking Department of Higher Educational Value to My Pupils." The essays were judged first as to their literary style, or as to clearness, force and elegance of expression, 20 points; second as to thought content or the contestants grasp of the subject under discussion, 30 points; third as to practical application of the ideas presented, 50 points. Prof. Caliver's essay was based entirely on the work he is doing at Fisk, where he has charge of the manual arts department, and consisted in an analysis of the educational theories on which he bases his work and a description of his methods of teaching and their practical application. This is not only a triumph for Prof. Caliver personally, but is another score for Fisk University, and is further proof of the splendid character of work she is doing and of her high standards. The jury of awards consisted of Dr. Arthur Dean of Columbia University, F. O. E. Raab, principal of Boys' Pre-Vocational School, Rochester, N. Y.; Dr. C. W. Briles, state director of vocational education of Oklahoma, and Ben Johnson, state director of vocational education of California. Professor Caliver took his A. B. degree at Knoxville College in 1915. Then he went to Tuskegee. Three years ago he went to the University of Wisconsin where he took the degree of master of arts in education and industrial arts. He also holds a diploma in employment management and personnel direction from Harvard. Placing Farmers Mr. H. H. Rice, of 438 E. Jefferson street, has placed over 20 Oklahoma farmers in the Valley and is prepared to place some 30 or 40 others in any way they wish to farm. Share crop farmers or others who wish to locate in Arizona should get in touch with Mr. Rice at 438 East Jefferson St., Phoenix. He is the farmer's friend. Over From Aio Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Ross of Ajo, Ariz., were business visitors in Phoenix last week. While here they were house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Smith at 21 East Madison street. Mr. Ross formerly conducted a tailor shop in this city and has many friends here. He stated that Ajo is booming and everyone there is making money. Mr. and Mrs. Ross motored over in their reliable Buick ARBOR DAY NAMED BY GOVERNOR HUNT IN PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, Chapter 20, Section 28-38 of the Civil Code of Arizona, provides that the Governor shall set aside, by proclamation, annually, a day to be known as Arbor Day, and, WHEREAS, Arbor Day should have even a greater significance than to be known solely as a tree day. It should be broadened in scope so as to include the beautifying of waste places, the policing of streets, alleys, lawns and vacant lots, repairing, repainting and decorating of houses, the repair of streets and sidewalks, the planting of lawns and gardens, the pruning of trees and shrubs and the doing of all those things which are necessary toward making our cities, towns and highways more attractive, and, WHEREAS, Educational institutions, civic organizations, Boards of Survivors, city and town officials are urged to arrange for appropriate observance of Arbor Day, 1924 and on this occasion it should be impressed upon the minds of all and especially upon the minds of school children, what the forests mean to the nation, and the necessity for planting, caring for and perpetuating the trees, shrubs and vines. The grounds surrounding schools, churches and public institutions of the state should be given special attention in order that they may have added beauty in the future. Municipal authorities and civic organizations are urged to make special efforts this year to encourage planting trees and shrubs along public thoroughfares. Public officials, educational institutions, civic organizations and each individual are urged to enter into the spirit of Arbor Day as suggested by this proclamation and plant trees and shrubs to beautify the streets, residences and public highways of the towns and cities of the state. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Geo. W. P. Hunt, Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby proclaim and set aside Friday, the 8th day of February, 1924, to be observed as Arbor Day in the Counties of Cochise, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz and Yuma; I do further proclaim and set aside Friday, the 4th day of April, 1924, to be observed as Arbor Day in the Counties of Apache, Coconino, Mohave, Navajo and Yavapai. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 22nd day of January, A. D. 1924. (SEAL) GEO. W. P. HUNT, Governor of Arizona. Wedding Bella Last week Mr. Julius H. Tubes and Miss Lizzie Etta Dickey were united in the holy bonds of matrimony.

GREEN SOUTHERN WHITE WEARS BLACK MASK TO COMMIT CRIME (Preston News Service) GREENSBORO, N. C.—While it seems practically impossible to obtain the names of the persons involved, it is a fact that a prominent young white man was lodged in jail here last Thursday night by a deputy sheriff of Aalamanoe county in connection with an attack on a young white woman at Elcon College early in the night. The young man was arrested on suspicion, the deputy said, and brought into Greensboro because of the high feeling prevailing at Elcon College. The assailant, she said, wore a black mask over his face to give to him the appearance of a Negro. During the struggle she managed to tear the mask from his face when she tried to scratch his eyes out. The young woman is said to have reached her home after the encounter, fainting on the door steps. Officials were notified and the man's arrest followed. N. A. A. C. P.

MINISTERS SHOULD LIVE RIGHT WASHINGTON, Jan. 25—At the regional evangelistic institute for the Disciples of Christ, the Rev. Jesse M. Bader, of St. Louis, made a plea for a better equipped ministry, physically, mentally, educationally, and spiritually. He denounced the preacher whose heart is not 'in his work and who does not conduct himself properly. He declared: "If a preacher isn't going to live right, he ought to get out of the ministry and go to hell like a gentleman." Leap Year Concert Fostered by Rev. C. N. Douglas and Rev. Wm.

Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year PRETTY GIRL LURED TO WOODS BY WHITE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS Accused of Immorality—Unprintable Words Branded on Victim's Back Tell Glaring Story of Crime—Youths Thought to Belong to "Invisible Power." (Special) SAN ANTONIO, Texas—Induced to enter an automobile occupied by several young lads, members of prominene families here, Miss Octavia Bell, pretty 20-year-old school teacher, was bound, gagged and blindfolded, taken several miles from the city, assaulted and then branded with a hot iron on five different parts of her body. The words which were burned into her skin stamped her as immoral. The outrage occurred early last Thursday morning, and Thursday afternoon two youths, one of them 17 years old, and a student at the local high school, and the other, a graduate of the school, were arrested in connection with the crime. L. G. Farley, the 17-year-old youth, denied his guilt and blamed the arrest on 'gossip. Farley and the other youth are being grilled in an effort to make them tell the names of the five other youths who were in the car on the morning of the crime. According to Miss Bell, Farley is the one who wielded the iron. Pleaded With Lads When Miss Bell filed her complaint she exhibited five brands, and said young Farley cut off part of her hair, preparatory to branding her forehead but that she persuaded him to desist. The girl, dishevelled and hysterical to the point of nervous prostration, arrived in town Thursday afternoon, saying she had been forced to walk to town from the scene of the assault. 'Gossip' Blamed for Crime "Gossip" Blamed for Crime Miss Bell blamed the prattling tongues of town "gossips" for the besmirching of her character, and alleged that she believed the actions of the youths were done under order from some one higher up, some "invisible power." The words branded on the back of the young girl are of unprintable nature, and testify glaringly as to her immoral character. It is known that the girl has had numerous admirers in the city, and it is believed that the cause of her popularity had been misconstrued, and that a secret organization, of which the suspected youths are members, had "black-balled" her, and ordered the infliction of such punishment as she received. Tells Sordid Story "I had just left the house of a girl friend," said Miss Bell in relating her night of horror, "and was standing on a corner in the downtown district awaiting a street car. The street was apparently deserted when suddenly an automobile appeared, stopped by me and several youths jumped out, dragging me into the car. "Before I could make an outcry, I was bound, gagged and blind-folded. Then driving at high speed I was carried into the outskirts of the city, where I was forced to leave the car. "The youths then proceeded to criminally assault me—oh, the horror of it all! They paid not the slightest attention to my pleas. After they had satisfied their brutal lust, a branding iron, similar to the one which is used to brand cattle, was produced. Then telling me that I was immoral and a disgrace to the community, they proceeded to brand me. The pain and the smell of my flesh cooking caused me to faint several times. "Once, when I came out of my stupor, one of the boys, young Farley, was cutting off part of my hair. He said they were going to brand me on the forehead in order that everyone would know just what I was. They said that I was the first of a number of prominent young girls who were to be treated in a similar "Then, after I had pleaded with them not to brand me on the forehead, they left the scene, telling me I could get back in town the best way I knew how." It appears that the more the boot-leggers are prosecuted, the more they grow.

In the east and middle west where the vote of Colored Americans is strongest, our Race leaders are in two camps— Conservative and Progressive. Here in Arizona, where the pol- itical plums ars seldom tossed to members of our group, we are engaged in the game of “watchful waiting,” heartily in accord with the plan suggested by Andrew J. Beaumert, Jr., that an uninstructed delegation be sent from Arizona to the Republi- can National Convention in Cleveland. While not indorsing the candidacy of either President. Cool- idge or Senator Hiram Johnson, we- are impressed with certain statements made by Mr. Johnson in his Cleveland speech in re- gard to cutting down Southern representation in National Con- ventions. Among other things, Mr. Johnson said: “The selection of delegates from certain of the southern states had become so corrupt and had created so many scandals that finally the Republican national convention in 1920 passed a resolutioin commanding within a year the Republican national committee to adopt a just and equitable basis of representation in future national conventions. The national committee obeyed and within the year acted, and while its action did not consti- tute ‘a just and equitable representation,’ nevertheless it -re- duced the delegates in southern states where there is no Re- publican party. “The reduction was a mere step in the right direction, It did not do justice to the real Republicans, but it furnished the basis for further reductions. This work of the national com- mittee, solemnly done after full hearings, a few days ago in Washington, under the orders of our opponents, was nulli- fied and the scandalous and unfair representation accorded southern states in past conventions was again given them. “I speak of this outrageously unfair selection of delegates because there is a fundamental principle at stake. The service we may render is to have conventioins which honestly express the will of the Republican party, and beyond that, the principle for which we strive is that this government belongs to all its people, the Republican party belongs to all its members, the people themselves are entitled to govern the country, just as the membership of the Republican party is entitled to govern that party. “These southern delegates are selected, as you know, and as I know, by commands issued in the City of Washington, to a very few federal office holders in the different states. A nom- ination by delegates thus selected, in number grossly dispro- portionate is a reproach to the Republican party. Our dem- ocracy is but an irridescent dream if year after year we per- mit a few bosses either to deny the right of expression to all the electors, or where that expression is given to thwart it by hand-picked southern delegates. Popular government in those states where there are no primaries is a sham and a farce.~ “A nomination made by delegates from states without presidential primaries in conjunction with purchase of hand- picked delegates from southern states is not made by the will of the party, but in spite of it. The recent action of the Re- publican national committee is a reversion to the abhorrent conditions from which we thought we had emerged. It is this system I challenge in this campaign. It is, in the last analysis, a test of popular government.” The recent statement of Wizard Evans that the Jew, the Catholile and Negro cannot become 100 per cent American is quite in line with the Klan theory of racial inferiority: It is not so much the fact that it has the psychological effect of mak- ing races believe they are inferior because a stronger race as- serts it. There is no such thing as an inferior race. To be true there are individuals in every race who do not measure up to certain standards, but in most cases it will be found that this PAGE TWO ADVERTISING TALK A hen is not supposed to have Much common sense or tact, Yet every time she lays an egg She cackles forth the fact.

So get the idea out of your head about racial inferiority. All races must be judged by the men and women it produces and as long as the Negro, under the most adverse conditions, pro. duces superior men and women, the race itself must be the equal of any. | THE BOK PEACE PLAN The winning plan in the American Peace Award, created by Edward Bok has been selected and is being submitted to the public for approval or disapproval. Civic organizations through- out the country -are discussing the plan and ballots are issued to members on which they may indicate their desire. The Tri- bune is opposed to the plan for several reasons. First, because it is impracticable. The plan submitted, proposes entrance of the United States in the World Court and co-operation with the League of Nations without full. membership, a thing utterly impossible. ‘ World Court is a misnomer. It is a mere shibboleth em- ployed by certain partisans to win popular confidence in their pretended effort to end war. By certain genuine friends of peace it is accepted as a slogan of battle for a basic principle of universal human aspirations. A court is a body in a Government to which the public administratioin of justice is delegated. It is clear that a Gov- ernment is essential to the existence of a court. It is conceded that there is no such established Government in existence. Surely the League of Nations supplies no such Government even if it had been universally, duly adopted. Could any such Gov- ernment, under our conception of Government, ever be institut- ed without first submitting its Constitution and Code of Laws and Practice to a popular vote of the several sovereign peoples who are called upon to. deldgate whatever jurisdiction and au- thority such World Court might possess and exercise? Our Government is. founded upon the eternal principles of religion, equality, brotherhood and justice—democracy. Our statesmen are confined to these precepts and can follow only the course where they lead. The Hague Tribunal, League of Natioins, and World Court do not supply the essential founda- tion for world democracy and thus do not supply a basis for a World Court and finally, the necessary guarantees of interna- tonal peace, In order that the United States may co-operate with other ‘nations to achieve and preserve the peace of the world, we be- lieve that by popular vote in the several respective countries, a federation of the world should be established upon the un- derlying principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, limited exclusively to inter- national affairs embracing no invasion of domestic matters, and providing therein for a Federation Court. Such a program would commend itself to an overwhelming majority of the American people and the people of foreign coun- tries would see the futility of any other course and insist upon, their respective Governments proceeding accordingly in due course. It would result in a world federation with adequate jurisdiction and authority in its own sphere, without impairing the domestie rights and sovereignty of any nation. It would enable the organization of a Federation Court and the selection of judges therefor solely on their merits, without special regard to the country of their origin. % The world has seen hundreds of republics rise and fall, chiefly on account of the lack of written Constitution and Codes of Laws based upon universal suffrage. Hague Conferences, Leagues of Nations, World Courts, all will take a similar course unless the peoples of the earth, through their Governments, or- ganize a World Federation administered under a written basic law interpreted by judges, limited by said law, and not by their prejudices and caprices as would be the case under any present proposal. A fair and impartial trial and full protection of the law is all the colored citizens of Arizona ask in the caseyf one Ward, charged with a henious crime.

THE discovery of the body of B. F. Perry in his home at 1316 Callowhill street, Philadelphia, by a man who had come in to see about securing a patent, did not cause any sensation at the time, for the coroner's jury gave a speedy verdict of "death from accidental causes." There was clear evidence that some sort of an explosion had taken place. A shattered bottle which had manifestly contained some sort of inflammable material, a broken pipe filled with partly burned tobacco and a charred match, lay beside the body. An autopsy showed that Perry had died from congestion of the lungs caused by the inhaling of flames or chloroform, the latter having presumably formed the contents of the broken bottle. So, as there were no claimants for the body and no estate, Perry's remains were interred in the Potter's field. There they would have remained undisturbed if it had not been for the evidence of a convict in the St. Louis prison. Shortly after Perry's death, the Philadelphia branch of the Fidelity Insurance company received a letter from Jephtha D. Howe, an attorney in St. Louis, stating that "B. F. Perry" was really Benjamin F. Pitelze, who had carried a $10,000 life insurance with the Fidelity company. The only person who could be found to identify the body was a man named H. H. Holmes, of Wilmette, Ill., who willingly came to Philadelphia to superintend the exhuming of the body. Holmes and Howe met in the office of the company, presumably as strangers, and the former clearly identified the body of the dead man as that of his friend, Pitelze. Satisfied, the insurance company paid the insurance to Howe, Pitelze's attorney, and reimbursed Holmes for his expenses. The details of the case were reported in the St. Louis newspapers, and a few days later, Marlon Hedgspeth, a convict serving a sentence for train robbery, informed the governor of the prison that he would like to give him some information which he considered most important. "If you will examine the records of the prison," said Hedgspeth, "you will find that there was a man here last summer by the name of H. H. Howard. He was in for fraud, I think, but was released on ball. While he was here. Howard asked me if I knew any lawyer whom I could recommend in connection with a swindling scheme which he had in mind—a plan which ought to net at least $10,000 without any trouble. He promised me $500 for my information and I gave him the lawyer's name, but I never got my five hundred." "The name of the lawyer I recommended to 'Howard' was Jephtha D. Howe and 'Howard' is undoubtedly the man named Holmes who is mixed up with that insurance case in Philadelphia! The details of the case agree exactly with the scheme, as Howard outlined it to me last summer." As soon as this information reached Philadelphia, the insurance company, detailed an experienced detective named Geyer to arrest Holmes and to investigate his antecedents, for it was clear that Pitezel had not met his death through accident, but had been deliberately murdered. After a month's search, Holmes was traced to New England and finally arrested. This, however, proved to be practically the beginning of the case for, the further back Geyer went into Holmes' history, the more gruesome details he discovered. In endeavoring to find out what had become of Mrs. Pitzel and her five children, Geyer found in the cellar of a house in Toronto—a house rented by Holmes under the name of Canning—the bodies of two children later identified as Alice and Etta Pitzel. From Toronto the trail led to Indianapolis, by way of Detroit and Cincinnati, and it was in Indianapolis that Geyer discovered the body of Howard Pitzel, aged ten, jammed into the chimney of the furnace in a house which had been rented some time before by a man who answered to the description of Holmes. It was in the course of his search through Indiana and Illinois that Geyer came upon the most startling discovery of the entire case—the mysterious building in Chicago known as "Holmes' Castle" or "Holmehurst." The prisoner had personally superintended the erection of this structure and investigation proved that it contained an air-proof, sound-proof vault, communicating with the cellar by means of a secret staircase. Buried in the cellar floor and half-consumed by quicklime were found the remains of at least five persons who had been lured to Holmehurst and there murdered. All of these crimes had been committed some time before the Pitzel affair, and had it not been for the fact that Holmes overlooked the promise which he had made to a convict in the St. Louis prison, it is quite possible that he would have remained at liberty, a constant and deadly peril to everyone with whom he came in contact. But Detective Geyer returned to Philadelphia with more than enough evidence to secure conviction, and Holmes paid the penalty for his crime on the gallows. (©, 1923, Western Newspaper Union.)

MILAN SHAPES SMARTLY TRIMMED ON IN A GROUP of hats for little girls, it is not without intention that a plain felt is placed at the top; for of all millinery for children, the handsome beaver or felt, with ribbon trim, holds its own as always above criticism and always appropriate. These beavers and felts, plain as they are, come in an unbellievable variety of shapes and endlessly ingenuous ribbon trims, and in all needed sizes and colors. They are here and have been for many years and are as certain of return each year as the seasons are. Occasionally one comes across a model that has a little additional embellishment besides the ribbon band or sash and in those plucked there is a flat, stitched band of felt about the brim-edge. But even these lovely beavers and felts have rivals In pretty hats of velvet, each enhancing the virtue of the other. Just below the felt hat, at the left there is shown a delightful bonnet-like shape with sort crown of velvet. Its brim is made of ribbon. The velvet side-crown is gaily embroidered and ribbon is looped at the side with long ends falling. Little misses are much dressed up, they wear CHIC MILLINERY M MILAN SHAPES A FINE milan straw expresses the very aristocracy of millinery, and this is the type which is greatly in evidence this season. Of course this milan hat must be a distinctive shape with trimming of simple elegance to assure its individuality. The poke may be said to be the favorite among favorites this season, and it is indeed charming when of finest milan braid. There are so many versions of the poke bonnet, they present in themselves an interesting study. Among others, the very deep but not wide flare is repeating its Parisian triumph in America. Milan novelty "Continentalals" are exceedingly good style. All shades of brown and black, of course, predominate in the milans as now worn. However one of the outstanding features of the season is purple milan straw. Ever so many cunning shapes are developed in deep purple and various orchid tones, also the lighter browns and cocoa shades are very fashionable. Here's a secret, too good to keep, in regard to the group of milan braid pretty head coverings of this description. The ha at the right is simpler and is also made of velvet. Two colors are used for it, the brim in a lighter tone than the crown, and a sash of ribbon finishes it. A charming hat at the bottom of the group is an amusing miniature made like hats for grownups. It is also made of velvet with sectional crown and has an upturned brim split at each side. Silk cord edges the brim and outlines the seams in the crown and bright motifs in silk embroidery help the gaiety of the winter season. No wonder its small wearer is so pleased with life in general and her hat in particular. It is a clever piece of designing in which the means used for developing maturer headwear have been perfectly adopted to childhood. Hats as elaborate as this look best with plain coats and it happens that coats for girls are plain this season. Julia Bottomley ODE CALLS FOR SMARTLY TRIMMED hats shown in this picture: Two of them have a snap-on trimming. That means the bows and ribbon garnitures are removable at one's instant fancy. It also vlonss vast possibilities matching one's millinery to one's costume. Ribbon lends itself wonderfully to this removable trimming and one can revel in a number of ornate cocardes, bows and the like, each a different color. The hat with the fanlike frill is just so in the picture, but concealed in the box from whence it emerged are several sets of bows which may be snapped on in place of the trim it now carries. The model to the left has snap-on trimmings of crushed bows of ombre ribbons in wood tones, with a band across the top of the crown. The deep milan cloche is dark purple with lavish bows of wide ribbon, for ribbon is the leading trimming item this season. Julia Bottomly (©, 1928, Western Newspaper Union.)
