THE RICHMOND PLANET SENATOR TILLMAN BLUNDERS Embarrasses Diplomatic Guests.==Harangue on the Race Question==The Presiding Officer's Mistake==Pres. Taft's Timely Response. VOLUME XXVII, NO. 9. SENAT Embarrasses D the Race Que Mistake==P A SCATHIN Washington, Jan. 23.—A large portion of the 150 men who attended last night's annual dinner of the Washington Corral, Military Order of the Carabao, are saying today that they are mighty glad they were there. It was the most notable function in the history of the Washington branch of this organization, whose membership is limited to officers of the army, the navy and the marine corps who served in the Philippines during the period or the Aguilahuan insurrection. The Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Senator from South Carolina, ran afoul of the Hon. William Howard Taft, President of the United States, and got a spanking, of which The Sun told briefly this morning. It was a spanking scientifically administered and incidentally it placed Mr. Taft in the front rank of after dinner speakers. While serious at times he interspersed his remarks with good natured satire at Mr. Tillman's expense and put everybody, including Mr. Tillman, in good humor. SENATOR TILLMAN SPEAKS Mr. Tillman was the first speaker of the evening. He made a characteristic pitchfork speech, alleging that the members of the Carabao society by the very songs they had sung acknowledged that they were ashamed of the part they took in the conquest or the Philippines. According to Mr. Tillman mixture of races in the Philippines had brought a new race question to the United States, and he used such expressions as "hell broth," "mongrels" and "miscenegation." MANY ANGRY A good many of the other diners were pretty angry over what Mr. Tillman was saying. What made them most indignant, however, was his reference to Cuba. Next to the presiding officer, Rear Admiral McLean, sat Carlos Garcia Velez, the Cuban Minister, and part of Mr. Tillman's remarks were addressed at him. The South Carolina Senator said that Cuba had a black vice-president, and with a wave of his hand toward Gen. Velez referred to "this Caucasian." THE MIXTURE OF RACE "And when I think of the mixture of races in the Philippines," cried the Pitchfork statesman, "when I think of the mongrel, worthless, damnable mixture of blood going on in Cuba which we are obliged to mix with our own; when I consider this hell broth that is being brewed, I don't know where it is all to end. We have departed from the fundamental principles of our Government." Representative Hull of Iowa, chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, came back at Senator Tillman in a defense of the Government's Philippines policy and was applauded loudly. PRES. TAFT RESPONDS There was much enthusiasm when President Taft arose to speak. It was evident that he could not ignore the statements of Senator Tillman and particularly those referring to Cuba. Those who expected him to speak in tones of anger were disappointed. His attitude toward Mr. Tillman was that of a father toward an erring child and he soon had his audience seeing Mr. Tillman in the light of a man whose oratory ran away with him and compelled him to say things he did not mean. When the President finished there was a wild outburst and Mr. Tillman ran over and patted Mr. Taft on the back. The President spoke in part as follows: COMPARED HIM TO A HEIFER I don't know whether it was with that in his mind that your presiding officer called on "My brother Tillman" to open the ball, but after Brother Tillman got to work the presiding officer looked to me like that farmer who voked himself with a helper and when they started down the hill, overcome with the error he had made, said: "Here we come, damn our fool souls; won't somebody stop us?" (Cheers.) I don't know whether he has struck the bottom yet or not; but in the interest (Continued on Eighth Page) MECHANICS' SAVINGS BANK Officers Elected and Committee Appointed.

BURK, M. D., Superintendent. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1910. Gone, But Not Forgotten. The funeral services of Mrs. Cora C. Thomas, were held in the Ebeenezer Baptist Church, Monday, January 24th, at 12 M., the Rev. Wm. H. Stokes, Ph. D. officiating, assisted by Revs. Scott C. Burrell, D. D., and W. F. Graham, D. D., As the body was borne up the alse "Nearer My God To Thee" was sung by the choir. After the invocation Madame Carrie Hawkins sang solo "No sorrow There." Rev. W. H. Stokes, very briefly pictured the beautiful life of the deceased and implored those of the eleven children out of the ark of safety to make ready for the great reunion of mother, father, and children in the bright beyond. Following the sermon came a solo by Madame Fannie Payne Clarke, "Jesus knows thy sorrow." After the body had been commended to the God who gave it, by the pastor "Shall we meet beyond the river" was softly sung by the choir. Could she speak to us today, she would say "Weep not for me, children. Theo' o'er my lifeless form you may be bending, For now my song with angel notes is blending. I'm safe at home where joys are never ending Weep not for me. Please think of me, as only gone be- fore you, From heavenly heights I will be watching o'er you. Just by the gates I will be waiting for you Weep not for me. Tho' now with grief your hearts are sad and aching. Tho' now with sobs your bosims may be shaking Entered into eternal rest at her home 730 N. Fifth Street, Thursday, January 20th, at 5:30 P. M., Mrs. Cora C. Thomas, widow of the late Louis Thomas, after an illness of one week of pneumonia. She leaves eleven grief stricken children to mourn their irreparable loss. Mrs. Thomas was not only the mother of a large family who bound fast as by golden bonds the affections of her children, but she was a mother to all those who came within the sphere of her influence. Blest are we who were privileged to call her mother, for she enriched our lives from the richness of her own pure and hallowed life. To Him who giveth Him beloved sleep let us be thankful that she was permitted to remain with us until the afternoon of life. I miss the, my mother! Thy image is still The deepest impressed on my heart. And the tablet so faithful in death must be chill, Ere a line or that image depart. Thou wert torn from my side, when I treasured the most When my reason could measure thy worth; When I knew but too well that the idol I'd lost Could be never replaced upon earth. I miss thee, my mother! Oh, when do I not? Though I know 'twas the wisdom of heaven That the deepest shade fell on my sunniest spot, And such tie of devotion was riven; For when thou wert with me my soul was below, I was chained to the world I then trod; My affections, my thoughts, were all earth-bound; But now they have followed thy spirit to God.

Dear Sir:— I beg to inform you that at the meeting of the City Council held December 28, 1909, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Whereas, the City of Spokane recently suffered the experience of a determined and premeditated assault upon her laws by the organized forces or the I. W. W., in which the said I. W. W. attempted to subvert and overthrow the laws and ordinances of the said City of Spokane, and in the suppression of which disorder and law-breaking it was necessary that great numbers of the disorderly persons be arrested and confined under sentence of court, to an extent and number that completely overtaxed the capacity of the jail and other places of detention of said CITY; and. "Whereas, The authorities of the Federal Garrison, Fort George Wright, adjoining this City, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 25th U. S. Infantry, under command of Lieut. Col. W. R. Abercrombie or the 25th Infantry, courteously granted to the City, upon the request of Mayor Pratt to the War Department, the privilege of confining so many of such disorderly persons as might be necessary in the places of detention in said Fort George Wright, where such persons were kept under the custody and control of the Police Officers of the City of Spokane, and. "Whereas, The Federal Troops stationed at said garrison, by their soldierly bearing and correct deportment, their sympathy and moral support in the maintenance of good order, and by their constant example of orderly, law-abiding, sober and gentlemanly conduct at all times, greatly contributed to the aid of our Police Officers in handling a most serious situation; involving in large degree the great principle of law enforcement; and. "Whereas, We desire to express our appreciation to the officers and soldiers of the Federal Garrison, Fort George Wright; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, That the City Council do hereby tender to the enlisted men and officers of the 25th U. S. Infantry, for their services and their support, the thanks of the City of Spokane." HOWARD F. SYKES, 1st Lieut. 25th Infantry, Adjutant FOR RENT—good hand laundry, in Oak Park. Cheap.

Mr. Macbeth the new lessee, is well-known to the people of this city and state, and is experienced as ap artist and manager of moving picture and vaudeville theatres. He is one of the few expert moving picture operators, colored, and comes well qualified to make the Globe the success it ought to be. He is working to the end that the best stage talent will always hold the boards at the Globe in the future. Abolish Negro Secret Societies A bill is soon to appear in the House and Senate which will prevent the use of names of established secret orders being used by other persons than the successors to the persons who founded them. For instance, there are many orders which have been chartered by the national or State governments, and since that time, colored fraternal titles using the same name, have come into existence. The law will be a copy of the Georgia law on the subject, and will be rigid in its provisions.—Richmond, Va. Journal. Mrs. H. E. Thompson continues sick at her residence 104 W. Jackson Street.

Rome, Negroes, Were Rome, Ga., Jan. 21. — (Special.)— A strange story has developed here of two negroes who recently appeared at Chubbttown, a negro settlement about 12 miles from Rome. These negroes spent two or three weeks at Chubbttown and it is reported that they defrauded the negroes of their prosperous settlement out of something like $2,000. The scheme they worked was an original one. They claimed to be able to show the others how they could dig into the ground and find quantities of gold. It was necessary for the digging to be done at night at a spot indicated by themselves, and those digging were required to use candles for light. These candles were sold to the unsuspecting darkies at the rate of $12.50 a piece. Unless the digging was done by the light of these candles efforts to find the gold would be of no avail. Quite a number of negroes were taken in by this hoo-doo scheme. The perpetrators of the scheme claimed that the gold was left in the indicated spots by spirits of the dead, and could not be discovered unless the searchers acted under their directions. A day or two ago Clubbtown became too hot for the hoo-doo negroes and they disappeared. Since their departure the whole scheme has been unfolded by the negroes who were duped.

In the congregation of the righteous the comforter shall embrace the children of the most high, until Christ presents Himself bodily, and shall show mercy unto them; for His wills are plentiful and His grace shall not fall. The Fifth Street Baptist Church feels proud. Sunday, January 23, 1910, was a day with it long to be remembered, even nature smiled upon it. Before the hour came for services, the heights of the air were lifted up and a balmy mild atmosphere filled the immensity of space under the firmament of the blue canopy of heaven, while mother earth itself presented a healthful condition, and the grand sun in its diurnal rotation bathed it in its efficient brightness and strength. The heavy damp cold weather of the three preceding days had succumbed to the more genial meteorological phenomena in which the weak, feeble and infirm as well as the more healthy, robust and strong could face and be embraced. At 9:30 the Sunday-school of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, opened its exercises joyfully. The sweet music rendered in its opening song, "Stand up! Stand up for Jesus! Ye soldiers of the Cross." Lift high his royal Banner, etc," coming from the voices of such a large number of little children and the attentiveness with which they with buoyant hearts listened to biblical instructions, make any reasonable mind feel proud that Christ uttered the words "Suffer little Children to come unto me, and forbid them not." Train the child properly the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Send the child to Christ in the Sunday-school. Even in this department Sunday, there was an unusual air, attendance larger, moiety sweeter and prospects brighter. At 11.30 o'clock the members of the church choir together with their veteran leader Alex. McCoy and the organist Miss Edmonia Anderson, took their places. The organist at once began playing the organ voluntary with such force and power that the sweet harmonious sounds coming from the great pipe organ filled the church with such melody that the large congregation at once saw that the spirit of the day was in the choir. Ah! but when the choir itself arose and mingled their human voices with the sweet strains from the organ, each with their own part striking on time symmetrically. There was indeed sweet music in the air which found its way as it were to the very soul. Who can forget the song "Christ will hold me fast?" especially when sung so sweetly as it was by Miss Louise Scott. The spirit was not only in the choir, but there was a double portion in the pulpit, while our pastor, the Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., always feeds his flock and gives them food for meditation. Sunday morning he out stripped himself and preached as he never preached before, holding his congregation spell-bound from start to finish with the exception at times there were cries of amen, yes, etc, every word finding lodgement in the heart and deep-rooted in the soul. Never did his congregation seem more cheerful, hopeful and inspiring. At 3:30 o'clock the congregation began to assemble to partake or its first communion in this year. A striking spectacle was presented, a symbol of the new covenant as an abiding memorial of their Lord was before them. The scene was sympathetic, solemn and triumphant. The pastor together with the Revs. Evans Payne, W. H. White, Marshall Payne J. W. Woodson, Jacob Turner and other preachers occupied seats overlooking the scene. The deacons were in their usual places ready for service. The attendance was the largest the church has witnessed within five years, each and all seemed animated and in one accord for similar purposes the intimate spiritual communion with Christ as their Saviour and a reunion of spirits. A grand time was had. It was indeed a love feast, the comforter together with PRICE. FIVE CENTS. the invisible presence of Christ and the most high God were certainly without doubt present communing with the church. Everything demonstrated that fact. The songs were sweeter, appearance brighter and words had a quickening power. Rev. Evans Payne was beside himself, although his general appearance shows the sign of many years and his 38 years ministerial work has dealt heavily upon his frame, yet under the influence of Holy Spirit. All were changed and this divine became the central figure of the hosts his voice revived and was clear, heavy sweet and firm, his body received extra strength. None appeared more active nimble, and strong as he shouted, talked and sang to the delight of all and glory of God. At night our pastor, Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., preached another wonderful sermon calling sinners to repent and accept Christ as their Saviour. The climax of the day was reached when out of the few sinners present, two walked to the front seats and bowed to be prayed for. How happy the Fifth Street Baptist Church feels from Sundays blessing, no human tongue can describe. The revival services will continue during the week. All sinners and others are invited. Let every christian come and unite in these meetings. --- We are sorry to note the death of Miss Julia Gray, one of the Sunday-school, as well as those of Edward Watkins and Percy Quaries. All auxiliaries, branches of the church, except the Sunday-cschool have suspended meetings to unite with the church in conducting the revival services. Wont you come? The pastor will preach Sunday morning on missions. Be there to hear him. Two real Africans from the dark continent so classed will be present, one is said to be a King, and the other the son of a Prince. Would you like to meet them? If so come to the Fifth Street Baptist Church Sunday. You will also get some idea as to the work the missionaries are doing in the foreign lands. Let every one decide to give God service Sunday. Attend church somewhere. Come to the Fifth Street Baptist Church and unite in the praise and thanks to God for his manifold blessings. Mr. J. R. Willis, of Winston-Salem, N.

CHAPTER IV OFFICER KEIGHII an hour later under the white light of the desk lamps over at the guardian was telling his story to the desk sergeant behind the rail. The desk sergeant listened distantly torelessly until he heard mentioned the name Craibough. At that juncture he held up his hand placed a warning finger on his tips, nodded to ward the drowsy doorman and toward two of the coats, squint in the room and, looking through in the eyes, whispered, "Officer, speak how. The most important thing is just where the body was found. He enact now if possible. It's important." Keigh went on to give a minute description and wound up by saying, "The man was dragged all right after he was dead." The desk sergeant's eyes narrowed to pin points as he demanded, "In which direction?" "To the worst The desk sergeant shock his head portentiously and observed "Looks for sure like this was pulled off in Craddloughs." "That's what I've been telling every body" poured kough. The desk sergeant shot out his fore finger and exhaled. "The host you love to say about the matter the letter. This is not a case for you or for me but for the captain in the morning." The captain appeared unusually early in the morning with some half dozen papers in his hand. Slapping the morning edit as some heads upper most in front of the sergeant he blurred out "What's this here?" The sergeant grinned at the topmost sheet "Don't know when they got the facts but it looks like the good am right." The captain stood in front of the window. How a pet bored dog that ly be used. "What did you do?" "Not a blondet thing to answer. The cap is not a cap of ap provision but a cap of ap provision. "For you to join the needed. You hit the cap upon the head. I fant not a case for it." "Then fawn." looked this way. "For you to look at the cap tained." "What's it for? It looks like do with it. It looks like the desk ergon still dullly." The cap is so soft that it but put on it. It looks like a hard cap of everything to do with it. She the people put this blather to Margaret who the prose entrance will. She with as and I do that blather to many compasses. It blathers and Marg gutread it well from the court house that will be used up up clear. It will be used on the trouble the "And he told me he was in the gear." He looked at me and then the pad of his arm was up to his thigh and he looked at me. "And that is enough for a small arm. We got to obey orders, see." He repeated the request from the book and was able to control but changed his mind being the receiver who arrived at the origine and asked "Were you going here?" The other person pressed his arms and gawked "Yes. Why?" The captain passed over two thick riggs "Smoke em! They will keep you awake. And, say" he went on playing his hand soothing upon the other arm "you wouldn't mind looking up there. Peter Broderick would you? It can't everybody I can trust." He soaked a pad and wrote hastily for a moment and finally holding the slip of paper to the sergeant added "First try these four addresses. If he's not at any of these then try his home. You'll be sure to find him there. But see him. Don't take me for an an awer and after you have told him the whole story get his orders. See?" It took an hour and a half to locate Chairman Peter Broderick. The sergeant found him home in his room on the ground floor of the troopia club. He waited for some time before he could gain access to that attestable gentleman; for Peter Broderick's hour for rising was high noon. The boy who aroused him awakened a slumbering tion. The troopia club cowered when Broderick woke up. Others cowed too. Broderick's word was law everywhere, and yet he wore no badge of authority, held no office. He did not even want one. He was higher than authority, stronger than civic force. He was power personified. He had attained that mystical position in the universe known wherever men cast sails as chairman of the county committee, which meant to owe no man a duty. Not to demand attitude and really from every man. It meant more. It meant to hold the bag. It meant that whatever Peter Broderick wanted be so. "Well?" roared Broderick to the sergeant. "What in thunder do you want?" The book aereight briefly set forth his credentials and authority and then plunged boldly into the purpose of his presence "The captain wants to know what he's to do about this Hargraves murder" Broderick stared hard at him Hargraves murder?" he repeated. "What Hargraves?" The sergeant went on to give him the facts. Broderick the whittle was thinking deeply. Finally he interrupted the other with the question "Look here, sergeant what was there to prevent Hargraves being shot down by a highwayman or a thug? Can you tell me that?" "Offour Kough says" Hang Officer Kough" velled Broderick Kough is going to say nothing but what he told so say. Look here does anybody know who killed Hargraves? "Do far as good. Now then that a dark street isn't it? And other houses as well as Crudlebadh a huge an opening on that street, haven't they? I say that this thing wasn't pulled off inside of Crudlebadh as it was the work of an unknown assasin a thug. Do you understand?" he declared emphatically. "You want the captain to work it out on that theory" isn't that? "I don't want the captain to work it out on my theory" yelled Brocklead. Let the captain sit still and nothing say nothing. I'm doing this thing. I work out all the necessary theories I do on hear." The captain told me to remind you that those unfortunate Murgebroad Broadleigh spring to his feet and stood glowering over the sergent Murgettred Noble has to remind me of Murgettred down a timid man always being reminded of him. He is the only child he holds in this burg that has got the door, I know that what I say is Sergeant. He was on confidence, he was for portent thing I say is Sergeant. Mr. Noble is the man I want to be. back in office and passed some time to the whole of there. There amused grimly and passed the time of morning popup on his desk I knew it all it was to check this morning I had been waiting for him to turn in for lunch. There was no time to wait for him. He drank on there. He took us to be had met. Prior to the visit, he did not find this last. He did not find a young man very great at an inning to be�ed. He has possessed all the skills of it to make up an event. He was always in law. Of his next life he was true in the know that he had to be used to now short as he was in the long law the old of the quats. I am a man who has a lot of the power that he has to be called that. He has a present in him a lot of power. It was a though he has to be of the reconded. He had always. That he earned him at day of who was quite a man for the service.

"Well, I hurried," "I politician what are you going to do about it?" "What are you going to do about it?" asked the lawyer to turn I can handle the police. Bruderlek affirmed "That goes without saying. But we're up against something more than the police. "If Tom Martin or Sam Appar was the prosecutor now?" "Sailed Bruderlek we'd have no trouble. They used to come to me regularly for instructions. Thorne paced the entire length of his long private office. "But he protested. Martin isn't prosecutor. Neither is Appar Murga- trood is prosecutor and "Confound the man's interrupted Broderick. He's no straight that he leans over backward. It was he who said six weeks ago that the Tweedlead sidelight was the last straw, that if another fracta occurred inside of Cradle-baugh's it would be goodly to Cradle-baugh's. And now there's this blamed murder." Thorne looked Broderick in the eye for a moment and asked "You forget that I waited here for you. Now that you're here, my idea is to see Penniman and get the facts." "The captain of the — precinct will be there," explained Brodgrick. "The understands that you're counsel for Gradchaugh's. Beef." "Come on," repeated Tharao. "We'll go and see Penniman." Brodgrick remained silent. Presence is be said hesitantly. "Just a second counsel. Wait." you'd draw a check for live for me." "Dollah?" "No." "Fire thousand!" Thorne whistled. "Coming it just a hit strong, Broderick." Broderick vigorously shook his head. "Now, look here, Thorne. I've got no complaint to make of you, and you've got no complaint to make of me. You've paid my wall, but you've had blamed good" returns for it, haven't you? Come, now! "Yeah," admitted Thorne, "But—" "No buts," interrupted Broderick. "This is a crista." Thorne drew down the corners of his mouth. "Do you think that I don't know it's a crista?" He went back to his deak, drew forth a check book and wrote a check. Before passing it over to Broderick he looked him aquely in the eye and added. "Peter, I've always, paid you by check and taken your receipt." "Sure!" returned Broderick. "I'm no officeholder. You could publish it in the newspapers. Nobody could find fault." "The point is." continued Thorne, referring to a memorandum, "that I've passed over to you a sight of money." "And you got a sight of influence in return," retorted Broderick. Thorne passed over the $5,000 check, seated Broderick by the arm, marched him out, then began to relieve his mind. Broderick I want more influence I've got a pet scheme a great ambition that is overweening, overwhelming it wont down. It owns my body and soul. He paused a moment before finally coming to the point "I want some day to sit in the senate of the United States." Physically whistled Broderick "Noth but sinny about you." I shall want every lot of your in fiancee! Thorne went on I shall need it. And Peter I want to know whether I going to have it I want to know that son. Readick stopped him in the middle of the sidewalk and shook him by the hand. He runs he examined there isn't a man I'd rather send to the United States than you I mean it There my hand on it. And push him into the waiting taxicab, he commanded the driver to take them to Cruelbaugh's back entrance. Once in Cruelbaugh the donnering influence of Broderick again as served it. Where. Dumbbell he inquired gruntly and waited for an answer. Sail the right away. It said he did theidding however. He did the right but art did the wrong. I was asked at the captain at Hirschkirk and then at Thorne before answering. Then he said "Room A" "Then it was pulled off in here?" "Yes" "And I would be given of there on the offer" "I was handed hands together of the house and then to the approval" "I was given a brief cut out" "We were asked Thorne after a second he answered." aimed Thorne with nothing as a client of me.

Just then the telephone hell rang The captain with some trepidation sized the instrument and talked in low tones. I finally he bung up the re- cently and announced. In my office, Margatroy is there now. The captain looked worried as he declared. He wants to talk to me. Thorne was the first to break the situation that ensued. If Murray's drugs Cradleham has this murder case there'll be the dead or pay. He gets to keep it out! Installed Broderick confound it! If he drags Cradleham into it he'll drag into it his own organization! He doesn't know the men who are behind it its party affiliations. Its patrons! If he makes this case a handle for his con founded investigations—well"— "He will!" interrupted the captain of police. "See if he don't." "What if he does?" protested Broderick. "There isn't a grand jury over been picked that would indict Cradleham!" And there you are! "Bo long as public opinion don't get to work." ventured the captain. Broderick started. "You've hit the nail upon the head, captain." he ascertained as he amote the table with his clinched hat. "Keep cool, now. keep cool," commanded Thorne. "I'll see Murgatroyd," he went on. "This is the time of all times that he's got to do what we tell him to do, and if he doesn't—we'll break lion on the wheel!" Thorne smiled and joked his head toward Penniman. "We even have the sole witness to this tragedy in the hollow of our hands." There was a gentle tap on the door. Penniman opened it and held a white person conversation with one of the ab- tentures or the house. Then he came back into the room, and looking at the captain, he said: "They say, downstate that two of "They say downward that they fear of the prosecutors men step step step." P. A. B. "You won't keep me muzzled!" ing the elevated a few minutes ago and that they were working their way over to the wrest." "Jumping Jerusalem!" exclaimed the captain, loaping to his feet "They're coming here. That ends me—I'm off!" he caught up his cup and disappeared "By George that's so" he said to Thorne "Penniman is the witness We can keep him muzzled" Penniman asked forward "But you won't keep me muzzled" he exclaimed Broderick gave "W what?" Pennican drew himself together. Hitherto big attitude had been one of fearful defender toward Thorne. Now he was defiant. "You can't keep me muzzled" he repeated. Broderick it was a long breath and rose us thus: "I throttle Pennican Thorne waft" up to his seat. Pennican and Thorne "you need some sleep." I don't need sleep nor coaching elther." rotated Pennican. "I'm going to tell the truth about this murder." "Well," said Broderick soothingly, "you've told it to us. Thorne fast and Pennican with his cold penetration, glance of displeasure. Pennican shouted but was game. This intrude. Peminan maintained desperate was committed by tahunner in town of this gambling house I do. If the house does pay me my days I don't care if I am in charge here the house can't make me die. He paused for a moment and then we met. This king fled and wandered a game of cards. I heard the row I saw the shooting and took up to me to lay my cards down in the table. I'll give up what I know.

I'm going to tell the truth about this thing to Murgartroad. There was another book upon the door a short, short command big book. Penalties spring to the door marked it and throw it open. Three men entered. They was Miltier another Metropolitan detective in the employ of the prosecutors of the court in the courthouse and the third man was William Margaret, the newly elected prosecutor of the pleas. CHAPTER V The yellow light of the early June afternoon grew softer as it sunk into and was absorbed by the deepening dusk but to Mitiam challoner proped up with red skid upholsters in a strange attitude of expatancy, these things had ceased to matter for out of her life a living presence had gone leaving a void more harsh than death. For weeks now she had patiently waited her car arrived at every sound trying to assemble it somehow with her husband's return. The arrivals seemed to tread on tiontice as they went about their duties. The house was curiously hushed as though listening always listening Oh why doesn't be come" she cried, an anguage of despair in her voice, and began to pace the room in nervous agitation. At that moment a man noiselessly entered the room. She did not hear him until suddenly looking round, she saw Stevens, the butler, advancing respectfully toward her Stevens held the silver sailor before her on which were several letters. There were ning in all, the last of which she quickly tore open as the solo missive fraught with possibility. But she was doomed to disappointment, and, handing them back to him, she told him to put them on the desk. "Stevens," she said falteringly, "send Foster to me at once." Stevens turned on the instant and found Foster in a passageway shuddering. "What's the matter with you?" he whispered at the same time placing his arm about her. "What are you doing?" he claimed Foster, with indignation, but inside no attempt to release, himself, from his embrace. "Don't you hear the new-boys? What are they saying?" she went on, needing closer, to him. "Listen." They did not have long to wait, for that from the nearest rainbow voices of the heavens, calling early special learned their days. Then like a hull from the blink rang out the world. Challenger caught in Cheltenham. "There we caught him," the maid aloud, shrieked, plunging. Slaves, visibly away from her, and starring in obedience to her affreases commands, she added sympathetically, "I hope she hasn't heard?" And as surprise would have it Mrs. Challenger had not heard, but went on to inform the maid that she was going to her room to lie down. On reaching her room, however, Mrs. Challenger shaddowed her intention to lie down. Apparently calm and collected, she took a seat near the light and started mentally to place her house once more in order. Item after item she checked out from her memorandum upon her household pad. There was an almost unheard tinkle of an altogether unseen bell, and before its sound died away Stavens had gone to answer. "What is it?" asked Mrs. Challoner when she summoned Foster. "I don't want to see anybody. I can't see anybody. I won't." she ended almost hysterically, and, gathering her trailing skirts in her hands, she fled to her room. But no sooner had she reached the door than Burley Bloodgood followed on her boots. "I just simply couldn't stay away from you and longer. Mirlam," she declared. "I know you don't want me here, but I can't leave you." Mirlam Clinton手机 weakly at a table. Finally, she leaned toward her visitor and asked a world of pathos in the question. "Is it the way news outside?" Mrs Challenger throw her arms about the girl. "Shirley, Shirley, I'd have gone mad, I think, if you hadn't come," she cried and fell to sobbing, but after a moment she straightened up again. There was a defiant look in her face now, a tremor in the voice that said, "I don't care what he done. I want I hurry to come back, do you understand?" I want him back—I want him. Shirley Bloodgood hit her lips. "I know, I know, Miriam—I do understand—" "Oh, but you can't understand" she persisted "You haven't a husband, and you don't know." Yes yes. Miriam. I know," were the only words that rose to the girl's lips to comfort her for at that moment the faint sound of the insistent doorbell broke in upon them. Mrs Cummings's slight frame shook with sudden agitation as she exclaimed. "The shorthold will drive me crazy!" And almost instantly recovering her composite she gasped. "If it should be Laurie." The girl glanced at the amoldering fire in the grate where to her excited fury to all their hideousness rose before for the headlines she had read in the exquisite papers "Challoner Caught In Charge." "How are we going to break the news to her?" sighed Shirley as she pushed left the room. Just outside of the door she encountered Stevens, and, putty playing her finger on her lips, she motioned him to be silent. When they were well out of hearing he answered in a confidential tone: Mr. Murgetroyd Miss Bloodgood." Mr. Murgetroyd William Murgetroyd? What does he want, Stevens? She was gladly excited. Shirley warned Stevens gently. He the prosecutor of the plea. Shirley held out her hand. And you what are you doing here? she asked quickly "I didn't know that you were a friend of the family. I did well built, with a smooth shavings on a square chin and a nose that stood well out into the air. Murgatroyd was a man who appeared to be without enthusiasm, but, although sharp and businesslike, his manner was easy. Turning to Shirley, he came to the point at once. I want to see Mrs. Challoner," he announced. "But I'm glad you're here, for I don't know her very well, and" "You can't know very well see her now." Shirley interrupted, shaking her head. She's frightfully unstroking. She's ill. You know it almost three weeks now since Laurie first went away, and" "I know, he broke in just a bit impatiently. "Whitl?" Shirley gasped, the truth at last dawning upon her. "You don't mean to say that you're here in—in your official capacity?" Murgatroyd emiled grimly "It's the only capacity in which I'm likely to be here. Shirley," he reminded her. "But," she protested, "I thought they left these things to—" "The police," he finished, and again smiled grimly "They do, but there are reasons You see." he went on to explain, "since I was appointed prosecutor of the pleas I've turned up a thing or two in the police department, and, well, the police department and I are somewhat out of tune. This case they have put up to me and my man." "Surely you can't mean to imply that you have to do this kind of thing yourself." "Yes; it's up to me. I am sorry to remind you," he went on, the full responsibility of his office upon him, "that I am here to see Mrs. Challoner, to find out where Challoner is and to persuade her to persuade him to come back." "Then he wasn't caught in Chakago." Bhridley explained almost, suddenly, and then, touching him on the arm a bit familiarly, she added: "Billy, you don't really believe that Laurie murdered Colobel Hargrave?" Murgrave laughed a abbit brush. "I don't know," he said, but he availably, "whether Childner murdered Hargrave or not." Shirley drew a long dream and scrolled excitedly. "Circumstantial! There was a plucker of a smile on her face and she added: "Then the newspapers were wrong when they said it was a certainty!" Murmured held up his hand and went on to explain: "What I tell you is confidential. You understand." "Yes, you." and said. Impatiently "But tell me about it—the real fact—that is you can." "There's no reason I shouldn't i suppose" said the prosecutor of the plague. "The real facts as we have them—as we have them, mind—are simple. Challoner quarruled with Colo- pel Hargraves." What about?" asked Shirley impulsively. Murgatrosd finshol "That makes no difference," be answered, with some confusion. "The point is that they were enemies. It was a quarrel in which the passions of each were roused to the utmost. To make a long story short, Colonel Hargraves won $10,000 at Gravsond. The men met in Cradlebaugh's. Another quarrel followed. "What does that prove?" "Nothing, only a man named Pemian of Cradlebaugh's witnessed both quarrels, and Challoner has run away." "But," persisted Shirley, "that evidence"— "One moment, please," went on the prosecutor calmly "Hargraves had the $10,000 in cash with him, and"— "Surely you don't think Lawrence would steal?" she commented. Prosecutor Murgatroyd answered slowly "Frankly speaking, I do. I believe that Challoner would do anything" "It's impossible! Why, the Challoner has no amount of money." Murgatroyd shrugged his shoulders. "Challenger's wife has, but"— It's the same thing." Shirley protested "and she just adores him—you do not know how much she adores him Billy!" "But how about him?" The girl shook her head and answered somewhat sadly "I know She's blind to everything." Once more she placed her hand impulsively on Murgatroyd's arm. "Oh, it's perfectly dreadful, the whole thing!" Unwittingly Murgatroyd changed his mood to meet her. "You were a friend of his, weren't you?" "Yes, before he married, when he was poor and decent like the rest of us—yes, I was a friend of his." Shirley Bloodgood drew her brows together. "Indeed! You must have been a good friend to let him take his downward course." For an instant this imputation seemed to rest heavily on Murgatroyd's shoulders, but he cast it from him quickly with a sigh and answered. "A man's best friends are like a man's good wife—they do not desert him, whatever happens, he deserts them. And so it was with Challonor." "And so at the last he has no friends?" "But," he protested, "I am wasting time. I—oh, pardon me!" he quickly corrected, flushing with embarrassment. "I did not mean my time exactly; but, frankly, I must see Mrs. Chaloner." "Miriam 'challoner is ill, much too ill to see any one. She cared orders"— "Excuse me but Mrs. Challoner is not too ill" persisted Murgatroyd, "to walk from room to room. My mom have seen her through the windows I must see her." Shirley made a movement to go. "Oh, I can't tell her" she cried. "I'll ring for Stevens." She rang "Stevens," she said as he came into the room "will you tell your mistress—oh, I can't—I can't!" she faltered. The servant left the room. Shirley sank into a chair and half covered her face with her hands. "There is but one way to reform a man like that"— The prose-utor did not finish, for standing in the doorway was Miriam Challoner, full as a ghost, a look of interrogation in her eyes. Mrs Challoner bowed and smiled falsely. "I believe I have met Mr Murga troyod before" she said with a grace peculiarly her own. Murgatroyod returned her greeting with "I need not assure you, Mrs. Challoner that this is a very painful duty." Murgatroyod bowed and, placing a chair for Mrs Challoner, begged her to be seated. "Mrs Challoner," he began in a voice that was even more gentle than at any time before "believe me that I've no desire to give you trouble unnecessarily." "Please don't apologize," Mrs Challoner repeated, holding fast to Shirley, as though she plumed her faith to that young woman. "I shall begin at the beginning, Mrs. Challoner," he said. "I suppose, of course, that you have had the report that your husband has been found in Chicago? "What! Found! Laurie has been found!" she went on. "Thank heaven! I'm so glad! Now he must come back home." "I had thought," said the prosecutor in even businesslike tone, "that the news of his arrest would—would have been an unpleasant shock to you. I find that the shock is yet to come." "You don't mean—you can't mean that." Murraytrud bowed. "I have already told Miss Bloodgood this, the report was a mistake. Your husband was not arrested in Chickoky! At that Mrs. Challenger really pro- duce down. She walked quietly on the shoulder of the girl,袖子 her. "Oh Laurie, Laurie! Then. You're not color PADRE "It is necessary for my men to search this house." Mg home!" she cried. "Most three weeks, Shirley, he's been away!" Murgatroyd waited patiently until she had recovered, never once forgetting that he was the servant of the people. "Mrs. Challoner." he said with simple directness, "the whole substance of the matter is this I believe—we believe that Mr Challoner has not left the cast and that he may still be here in town—In this house even" "In this house!" Miriam returned, with a faint smile "I wish he were—indeed, I do wish he were." "Mrs. Challoner" the prosecutor wenton, "it is necessary that my men should search this house." Shirley Bloodgood dushed indignantly "This is an imposition It is preposterous. Murgatroyd that you should doubt her word." "It is necessary for my men to search this house, he repeated and not unwholesly for us well knew that there is something that brings men-good bad and indifferent men-back to their homes. Murgatroyd left the room and returned almost instantly. Followed by two men, Malley and McGrath. The men passed in unceremoniously and proceeded to search the room, places that even Miriam had forgotten about. They overlooked nothing, but silently quietly in their businesslike way turned everything topsy turvy, replacing things in the end as they found them. Presently they turned to their chief and said "It is all right prosecutor. "Cover the rest of the house" again ordered Murgatroyd McGratty nodded. "Yes. While you were talking in here he said "we showed our shields, and they showed us through." He drew near and whispered "We thought it best to take 'em by surprise. They didn't no time to fix things, don't you see?" "Nothing found?" asked Murgatroyd. Simultaneously they shook their heads and answered "Nothing." Murgatroyd waved his hand and commanded them to wait for him at the door. Turning to Mrs. Challoner, he said: "If you know where Mr Challoner is I want you to use your influence with him to make him come back. His flight amounts to a moral confession of crime. He has nothing to gain, you see," he went on to explain "by staying away. He is bound to be caught. He cannot escape." "I want him to come back," stammered Mrs. Challoner. "Yes, yes, he must come back and face this charge. You-you don't think him guilty. Mr Murgatroyd." Murgatroyd walked toward the door. If he had spoken his mind he would have answered in the affirmative, but instead he compromised with "I don't know" and abruptly left the house. CHAPTER VI "BRUTES. every one of them, and Billy Murgatroy the worst of all." The exclamation fell from Shirley Bloodgood's lips. "Why I thought you liked Mr Murgatroy. Shirley." "You have things badly twisted, Miriam—he likes me." Aud, suddenly rising to her feet, she clapped her hands impulsively. "Oh, Miriam. I've good news for you!" "Good news? What good news? Miriam asked incredulously. "Prosecutor Murgatroy," she began, "told me to confidence"— "In confidence." Miriam repeated. "Then you had better off"—Shirley shook her head belligerently, "Oh, no!" she laughed. "It's all right. Billy Murgatroy likes to tell things to me. He told me once that he believed that to be one of the controlling motives that led to matrimony—that a man should have somebody to tell things to." "But"— again protested Miriam. "Yes, yes," admitted Miriam; "tell me. I must know." "Muralmard, tola me, Milam, the greatest rock and ball story you ever heard," Miriam looked full of her brain would say, "It seems that the paper have distorted, exaggerated everything. The fact is, Miriam, dear, the case is the moment." Miriam drew a deep breath. "The Shirley, what on us tell that nobody had seen I ever seen killed, no only had seen the idea that they had only seen some remarkable gown that of other who said so to my wife." THE QUARTER SATURDAY.....JAN. 20, 1010. hewed a quartel between them. "And, oh, yes!" she added a moment later. "the man that killed Margrues sobbed him of $10,000, and, of course, Lawrence Challenger wouldn't rob a man, much less kill, one, so don't you see, there's nothing, in the story at all." "I don't know," answered Britiam. I don't know, am not sure how slowly, "whether he would or not" "What?' gasped the girl. "Don't misunderstand me." pleaded the woman. "There are two Lawrence Challengers. One is the man I love that loves me; the other is the Lawrence Challenger who-well, I don't care, she added fiercely, "what he's done, I want him back." She sobbed for an instant. "You didn't know, Shirley, that we had a quarrel. I treated him badly, shamefully. He hasn't come back since." "You quarrelled—you, Miriam!" "About money," admitted the conscience stricken woman—money. He wanted me to give him some. Men have got to have money," she wont on, repeating his words, "and I wouldn't give him any. It was brutal in me. can never forgive myself" A look of astonishment crossed Shirley's face. "You wouldn't give him any money? And he didn't have any when he went away." Miriam wept After a moment she answered: "No. My poor Laurist Think of him starving freezing, perhaps dying!" Shirley Bloodgood drew a long breath. "And Colonel Hargraves was robbed," she murmured to herself. "I don't think you understand," Miriam went on, breaking in upon her thoughts. "Of course I don't believe that Laurie is guilty of the things they charge him with. But he must come back and stand trial and be acquitted—and I must stand by his side through it all." She broke down completely. "What's that?" inquired Mrs. Chatloner, starting up nervously, in alarm. "It's that horrible bell ringing again." she went on breathlessly. Shirley stole to the door and listened Suddenly the door was pushed steadily open. Stevens came in and stood at green tion. He drew a long intake of breath then he spoke this name "Mr Challoner" And hardly were the words out of his mouth than he was thrust aside and there stood in his place a spare gaunt, tottering figure—a man dishies- el, soiled, exhausted-James Law rence Challoner had come home! The young wife's face turned pate and for a moment words failed her Then all of a sudden she sprang to her feet, crying in an cacades of joy. "Laurie, Laurie! You've come home to me at last!" And throwing her arms around his neck she kissed him many times laughing hysterically and crying the while "You've come back to me" But Challoner cast her off with a frantic sweep of the arm "Keep away!" he cried "I'm dog tired" I've got to sleep. sleep! Shirley was keenly alive to what his presence there might mean. "Stevens," she called, pointing to a window, "pull that curtain down. I pulled it up after they went, pull it down." Challenger now turned upon her "Leave the curtain alone, I tell you," he said "I don't care if it is up. I don't care about you either, nor you" looking at his wife. "I don't know you. I must have sleep, sleep, sleep." Deep down in her soul Shrirley knew that she should not hear all this, and she would have fed if she had not promised Miriam not to leave her. Miriam now went over to the girl "You're not going to leave me?" she exclaimed) clinging to her "You and Laurie are the only friends I have. You must stay here with Laurie and me." Shirley patted her affectionately. "There, there. Miriam, dear, of course I shall stay." Miriam, reassured, started back to her husband and cried: "Laurie, dear," kissing him and pushing the hair back from his forehead, "no tired, no tired." But chalionor, a wolf now and not a man, jerked away from her and answered: "I came home, didn't I? Well, then, I must have sleep, sleep; I tell you, sleep." And, tottering over to a dainty silken covered sofa, he threw himself upon it, with a deep sigh. Miriam went down on her knees and drew him to her in a close embrace. "Everything's all right now that you come, back," she told him in soothing tones. "And, dear, you'll forgive me, for quarrelling with you. I'm sorry, sorry, I am, Laurie." Missing him on the lips, the face, the forehead, Say you'll forgive me, Laurie, dear? His answer was a snore. Miriam, whispered. Shirley, "we must not forget that Morgbryd and his men have only just left. We must not let him lie here. It was lucky they searched the house when they did." "No, objected Miriam. 'He must sleep.' "No, no, Miriam," perilated Shirley, putting great emphasis on the words. "We ought to tell him what kind of evidence is against him. If we didn't warn him in time he'd never forgive us." "Perhaps you're right, Shirley. You seem to be always right. Yes, I appose he ought to know." Gently, Miriam shook him, rocked him to and fro, shook him so, as some mother might wake a driver, growing boy at a station. lawrence, lace, grind, softly, in, the ear, wake up, deak, make, up For an instant, Phileo stirred. "I can hardly believe that Laurie is back," murmured Miriam happily. Unconscious of the other's words, she remained kneeling at the side of the dalyty soffa with its far from dalyty burden, her arm still about the neck of the man who slept upon it. At that instant as Miriam and Shirley stood clustered about the shopping thing the bell once more broke out in feeble clamor. "The hell! chorused the women and stood frozen silent." They heard Stevens, tolling up the stairs, waited, watched the door. Finally they saw him enter. "It's the prosecutor's men again, madam" and the butter "They've come to me." "Stevens," interrupted Shirley. "wure you didn't tell them that—" "They said they saw him." Shirley grounded and pointed to the sofa Mrs. chalition rose to her feet and stood before it as if to hide the man man it. "You left them outside, Stevens?" "One of them. The other forced his way in." A maid, quivering with fear and indignation, burst in with: "There's a man coming upstairs, madam, but I stopped him. He said he left out there on the landing to see you, so he knew Mr. Challoner was in the house and he was going to arrest him." "Oh dear! There's nothing to be done, I suppose, but to let the man in" Mrs. Challonge was speaking to Shibloy now, and whenen without waiting for a reply she ordered Foster to show the man up, adding: "I hope he will until Mr. Wakeens." Instantly Miriam crossed to the sofa and once more rested her soft, warm face on his, hoping that he could feel the love that she bore for him. Then she shook him somewhat roughly. "Laurie, dear, you must wake up." And then like a flash the thought of DANIEL "In the thing loaded?" queried McGrath, resistance crossed her mind. She spring up with a cry, rushed past Shirley, past Stevens, reached the door, closed it, fumbled for an instant and, finding the key, locked it light. "No, no." she muttered, "they shall not take him—I won't let them—he belongs to me!" In a freaky she piled up the light chairs and tables and pushed them against the door to form a barricade, crying the while to Stevens: "Help me, quick! We've got to keep them out! We must not let them in, must not"— Shirley caught her in her arms. "Don't, dear, don't!" We can't help it, don't you see? "Of course we can't help it," after a moment Mitism said resignedly and proceeded to pull the chairs and tables away that she had so vigorously piled up. Wearily she fell into a chair. Mixley entered the room, McGrath following soon after. At the sight of them Miriam rushed back to her husband, speaking his name softly. "If you would only let him sleep—just a little while longer," she said falteringly to the man. "You must leave him to us, ma'am," spoke up, Mixley. And suddenly together the man bodily lifted Challoner from the sofa and as suddenly dropped him back again. At this use of physical force Miriam covered her face with her hands and sobbed. "There's a hump here that we'd best attend to," said Mixley, running his hand over the outline of Challoner's clothing. The next instant revealed a revolver, which they took from Challoner's hip pocket. "Is the thing loaded?" queried McGrath. "Meam—ladies," said Mickley, crossing the room, "we're fair people, and Prosecutor Morganroyd is fair. You seen us take this here firearm from Mr. Challoner just now, didn't you?" Mickley and Shirley nodded in acknowledgment. "Mickley requested that they take a good look at it. "Don't give it to me!" cried Shirley. "Give it to me," said Mickram unhesitatingly. "You see that there's five chambers loaded, don't you, Mrs. Challoner?" asked McGrath. Mickram looked at it helplessly. "Five chambers loaded!" she asked in unaccentedly, unaccentedly. "Herb!" wrote in Mickley, "let me show you." And he counted slowly: "One, two, three, four, five; all full, Bee?" Mickley paused, then said: "And one plumber simply." "Oh, yes," she acknowledged, almost silently, as she placed her finger on the door. Iberrey surely one champun, empty Lace is now. McGrath Rositated, hut Mixley went on: "Will you smell it, please—just the end of it—the muskell?" "A Fourth of July smell," Mirlan faintly ventured, "gunpowder, of course." McGrath had another card to play. "Look at this here figure on this here gun, will you, ma'am? Here— there it is. I want you to tell me what it is." "What is it, Shirley?" asked Mi- rlam, bringing it closer to the light. Shirley peered at it. Finally she declared: "In 83," touching the gun lightly. "There, now," exclaimed Mixley, "no one can say we ain't been fair. You saw us take it from him. You exam- nol it, and you told us what you saw. That's fair. See?" "Yes, but what of it?" asked Shirley and Miriam in one breath. McGrath opened his eyes in mock wonder. "Why, bless me. Didn't you know? This here Colonel Hargraves was shot by a bullet that came out of a 38 caliber revolver; that's all. We wanted to be fair." "Fair! Shirley cried bitterly. "And Mr. Murgatrayd sanctions such methods—will uso for evidence!" But even than Miriam did not understand. She was watching Mirley and McGrath, who were lifting Qualonier up and dropping him—watching them draw him up to a standing posture and then throw him back again on the sofa, calling the while: "Wake up! Wake up!" "I have to sleep." "Was all they could get out of him." At last a drop more vigorous than the preceding ones caused Challoner to open his eyes. Then he closed them again. "Are you James Japenese Challenger added Mixolion, poremol polyphil?" And now again the bell. And a moment later Murgatroyd, the prosecutor, stood in the doorway. The heat of much haste was on his brow. "Has he talked?" Murgatroyd asked. "No, answered the man." "Lift him to his feet." The men did so. And then the women heard him snap sharply. "Challoner, wake up! This is Murgatroyd, the prosecutor!" Challoner opened his eyes, yawned stupidly and stood squarely on his feet without any help. "Hello. Murgatroyd!" he said. "Challoner" said Murgatroyd. "I am not here as your friend I am the prosecutor." "I understand," said Challoner. "Very well then," went on Murgatroyd. "you know why I am here. I charge you now, Challoner, with the murder of Colonel Richard Hargraves. Do you understand me?" "Perfectly," was Challoner's reply "You want to take me into custody? All right, only let me sleep when I get there will you? I—" "Wait a minute, Challoner," persisted Murgatroyd "It's my duty to inform you that anything you say will be used against you. You must not forget that I am the prosecutor" Miriam came forward quickly "Oh, Laurie, do, don't say anything just yet" she cried in alarm. Shirley seconded her warning, say quickly: "Who's saying all this? Only a lot of women. What do they know?" And turning back to. Murgatroyd. "See here. Murgatroyd, let's get this straight, shall we?" And he looked at him full in the gree. "You're the prosecutor and anything I say will be used against me. Is that right? Well, this little matter is just as simple as A B C'. And, suddenly drawing himself up to his full height, he went on in a loud, clear voice. "I waited for Richard Hargraves with"— "I warned you!" cried Murgatroyd, stretching forth a hand. Challourer scornfully refused to listen. "And when I found him"— He glanced about him defiantly and gave an imitation of a man taking aim and shooting "There, now, you know the facts." Murgatroyd turned to his two men. "It's a case of willful, deliberate, premeditated murder—murder in the first degree. Take him away." Shirley was on her feet in an instant. "Oh, Mr Challoner," she cried, springing forward, "why did you tell him?" "Come on!" Challoner called out grumby to the man. "Take me away! He did not even glance at his wife, who clung to the girl and sobbed on her breast." The prosecutor nodded to his subordinates, and immediately they seized Challoner by the arm and started toward the door. "No, no," cried Miriam, tearing herself from Shirley's hold. "Don't take him away?" And again and again with all the force left in her: "No, no, pot. Oh, Laurie!" The doors closed behind the man. Then Miriam sank down upon the soiled sofa where he had lain and sobbed as though her heart would break. [TO BE CONTINUED] Twenty-five Per Cent of MIll Employee in Bouth Infected.

COLORED VIRGINIA'S AND MIR TART It is said that one will do well to go away (from home for news). This seems to be the case in Virginia for the Baltimore Maryland and Afro American can one of the newest race fountains of its size in the country publishes in its news columns the following: Washington D.C. January 18 A large delegation of Afro Americans from Virginia saw President Lincoln week and asked him not to apply to Virginia office white men whose chief qualification law has been enacted to the Negro market must not all circumstances. Mr. James Mitchell was the spokesman for the delegation The President seemed to be impressed with the argument to the visitors. The delegation consisted beside the Chairman of James M. Harrison and Dr J E Mills of Norfolk, Va, J Thomas Newsome, Dr Philip Scott, J H Coleman, and Dr W P Dickerson of Newport News. The visitors seemed to be much pleased with their visit but would not be the President. On Monday of this week, the President appointed Clarence J Smithers, a well known "ily white" Republican, as United States Marshall for one of the Virginia districts. Perhaps the visitors got glad too soon. This seems to be a case of whose those gonilion were handed a "gold brick." If they wished recognition of their claims, they should first have gotten the written endorsement of the leading Democrats in their respective communities and then with these secured the cordial approval of the Democratic congressman of their district. With this combination of endorsements, they should then have made application for similar favors from the two Democratic Senators, and then they should carry all of these recommendations to the Republican President in the White House and then they would have gotten practically anything that they desired in the way of political offices, which are vacant --- or are about to become vacant. A Negro has absolutely no hope of citizenship recognition through Republican channels to the extent of holding representative offices. They will be accorded janitorials and the like at salaries which will just about equal the wages that a Democratic business, man would pay them for similar service in a whisky house or in a dry goods store or in a commission warehouse, but when it comes to holding offices of the kind that these colored citizens would desire they might as well have saved their railroad fare and the time spent in going to Washington Colored folks are on the outside of the White House to stay so long as the present political regime is in control She it was quite a favor on the paid of President Taft to them. A white beggar is recorded this private, and certain colored folks should appreciate the fact that they are accepted the same privilege. It can be as much that we have, at least some one of our rights left. Let these colored other workers be taken against it and one away smiling. COLORADO FOLKS IN CITY I have at last a good opportunity to tell you why I desire to be a broad and right wing politician for the United States. I have a great interest in the work of the United States government. Having been a lawyer, I have been a broad and right wing politician who will be the judge that the administration will represent the population in what protest against the Hate Party for the disillusionment to serve the people. To be a broad and right wing politician, the free choice of the people who likewise choose the Free Party is essential. It demands that the President of the Americans who want to disillusionate on race lines or to protect radical measures of a religious or progressive pass or religious laws. The prime dearest that it is the first step in aorious campaign to obtain full rights for groves and treasures dire consequences if those rights are not conceded. President Gomez promised the committee that he would do all his power and the cause of arbitration. Women undergo the negro President of the Senate diligently organize the party throughout the globe. Farra, growing the third Party to the Senate, acts as two哥伦比亚 Congress went into the role of the hotel and demanded drinks that were served but were compelled to be an exchanging of the hotel refreshment. President Tatt would not have given voice to any such utterances, but he angrily so to do for now. Increasing Negro delegates to the closed doors when any subject of such vital importance is the discussed. The above report reads much like similar ones in the country about thirty five years ago. Gross male breasts just as colorful as doing yellow flesh would threaten loss and do we would witness more tangible results it is best to have the situation in eight while using no words concerning it. The effort is impressive and the feeling on part of the whole like less felt as a result of the conference. President Tatt seems to be being right however and we hope that his good information will best come in the end of this. 0 : + I am coming around from the department of the daily press at this office. President: R. I. Kallman. To day we the illumination of the negroes a hotel waiter in this city. The last of the big hostilities gave its colored waiters notice, several days ago and today white men took their places at the tables. A representative of the hotels said: 'Yes we have put on all white waiters in our dining rooms and cafes. As a matter of fact, we have been behind hand, for you will find that all the first class hotels on the European plan have white waiters today and all we have done is to fall into line, and not only on the question of waiters, but in several other lines. That's all there is to it.' The explanation given for this action is practically no explanation to the conservative colored man who is seeking information as to the causes for these changes. There is no allegation that the old employees were incompetent. All there is to it is that the guests seem to demand the change in order to be in line with the most modern hotels of the country. Some of our people take a pessimistic view of the situation and they see in it the deterioration of the colored man as an employee. We see in it the spread of the dark cloud of Tillilianam that has swept from the South over many sections of the North. But the question with us, is what will be the result of this innovation? How will it affect the industrial status of the Negro in this country? Will colored men find themselves out of employment entirely or will the conditions adjust themselves and will the biblical faith of the black mammals be realized; when they say that God is in charge and in His own time, he will so arrange it that where one door is shut, another door will open? We shall see. It is evident though that this question is one that will engage the attention of the thoughtful Afro-American leaders of the country. Already, the agitation is well under way in Philadelphia and the colored clergy there have become aroused to the seriousness of the situation. Rex Lyman B Tefft, D D. President of Hartshorn Memorial College of this city a gentleman of rare ability and possessing a far-saving acumen asks us for our ideas as to the remedy for the threatening aspect of affairs. Not our part we have been seriously embarrassed by the worthlessness of the average member of the rising generation. White and color of youngsters are budding into manhood with a cigarette or a cigar in their mouth and an appetite for liquor that surpasses all human understanding. What can be done about it? Is the material in the race dooming? Are the youngsters of today in possession of the same star quainties as their cancestors? These are the questions that seem to be confronting the student of human life and the professor of political economy. The determination in the material of both races is the subject or context by both white and colored employers. In the Southland the artisans of the colored race of the Old School are dying out and the colored young men dislain to take their places. They do not look to the trades. They scorn this kind of employment and choose the easy life of a hotel man or the nomadic life of a hotel waiter. It may be that the elimination of the younger element from the employment where the tipping practice is in evidence and where the money thus secured is used to spend upon the butterfly girls or at the gaming table will tend to direct their efforts and abilities to other fields of employment and open their eyes to the dangers ahead of them in the struggle for a legitimate livelihood. We should not forget though that the colored man of ability have been steadily encroaching upon the white man's field of professional endeavor both in medicine law finance and administration. The attack or rathor or the retaliating blow is coming from the rear. He is crowding the Negro out of mental employment. We cannot see that we have over much to fear from this last effort to throw the white man upon his own resources. We have too many colorful men of exceptional ability wearing white aprons when they should be a charge of their own offices earning an ittle dependent livelihood. They take the key to go out and make a hire for themselves but prefer the easy route of a steady salary rather than going out among their own people. Where worth makes the man and lack of it the fallow. The colored people of this country will be granted a competency and a permanent success if they will enrol in the following permits farm or commercial finance the trades and professions. It seems to us that the place to start this agitation is in the homes and in the school houses, where boys and girls range from the ages of ten and upwards may be influenced and brought to see the need of a change in the race's education. We need contractors in every branch of industrial pursuits, and these contractors will need highly skilled workmen. We should teach these young people that there is no royal or easy road to success and that the more difficult the task, the greater the reward. Colored young folks are constantly dodging hard work. They are looking for something easy. As a matter of fact, no man or woman who will balk at labor or hesitate in the face of difficulties will make a brilliant success. There can be no standing still in this life. The man, who performs a given service this year in the same manner that he did last year is "embalmed" so far as racial progress is concerned. Capable people are always in demand. If we are losing out as dining room servants, let us win out as carpenters, black smiths, plumbers, janitors, excavators, stoveforces, farmers, cotton-pickers and the many other lines of employment that remain open for those who are willing to work and who will go to localities where they can secure employment. We are not at all cast down by the outlook. The Northern colored man is already too free and many of those who went from the Southland, supplement their freedom with ostentatious airs which make them ridiculous and the subject of ridicule, by those who knew of their undone condition in this section of the country. Let those waiters, who have lost their jobs come South again. Race prejudice is in evidence down here, but most of us are so busy that we do not take time to notice it. Our country manure need teachers, our farms need cultivation, our colored contractors need competent help and Southern Democratic white men need common laborers in their business, honesty and politeness are the most valuable assets to obtain employment and faithful service is the main feature necessary to ensure good pay and long employment. If these open-eyed, disgruntled, colored waiters are being turned down by the white folks of the North, let them come home, where the sun shines hot and where the hum of the machinery of industry is music to the average colored man's ear. Moreover, we are so arranging it here that under the cordial co-operation of the better class of Southern white folks, we are building better than we knew for by the exercise of a principle of political economy, we are employing ourselves. We hope to see the dawn of the day when organizations will be put under way to secure a membership of the Intelligent, far seeing laboring elements, willing to appreciate the dangers of the situation and anxious to put on foot plans to avoid them. The clouds are dark and lowering in the West, but already we see the rays of financial sunshine SENATOR TILMAN'S BLUNDER We do not doubt but what every one in Washington who had the good fortune to attend that annual dinner at Washington last Saturday night, given by the Washington Corral, Military Order of the Carabao now feel that Senator B R Tillman of South Carolina is not only a national blunder but a national nonsense. He violates all rules of politeness and good breeding and makes himself righteous in the eyes of the civilized world. It is a reflection upon the state from which he hails that a man of his prominence and intelligence should repeatedly parade his weak nesses and display his temperament in high places. He is certainly demonstrating to the world that there are tens of thousands of Negroes, who could conduct themselves with becoming dignity in places where he seems to be devoid of knowledge of the ordinary rules of politeness and decent society The rebuke administered by President William H Taft was no less severe, because it was administered in a humorous vein and bestowed with the fatherly instinct and moderation of a man, who was really arrogate above his senatorial rival, both in good breeding and in the position he occupied as Chifo Executive of the nation DIVE IN ICY WATER TO SAVE A TOWN Heroes Open Safety Valve In Austin Dam. Austin Pa. Jan 26 Through the hereditary efforts of a little band of heroes Austin was saved from being wiped from the map by a threatened catastrophe similar to that which devastated Johnstown years ago. Just above the city is an immense concrete dam keeping back a volume of water nearly a mile long, 600 feet wide and deep. Little Frank Robbins in coming from school takes the concrete retaining wall as a crosscut to his ague. As he crossed it Monday he thought he felt vibrations, and upon reaching home told his mother that the dam shook. Investigation proved the boy's story to be correct. The thaw had caused the water to slide to throw volumes of water into the dam and the safety value was lost to the surface had to come deeper. The concrete wall was trembling. Like wildfire the news that the dam was about to give way spread through the city. Fathers and mothers hastened to gather together their families and sought places of safety on the surrounding hills. Monday night 2000 persons camped on the hills overlooking the dam expecting every minute to see their homes and property swept away. In the meantime a little gang of heroes was working to reach the safety valve regulating the outflow, and that was submerged in thirty feet of water. There were no diving suits near, but two volunteers divested themselves of their clothing and dived into that icy water. After the third attempt one of them succeeded in reaching the valve and extricating a large log with which it had been clogged. Just after the valve had been opened the authorities decided the pressure still was too great and blasted one end of the breast of the dam. At daybreak the water had receded and Austin was out of danger. Thaw Allanist Under Arcst Pittsburgh, Jan. 26, Dr. C. W. C. Wilson, famous as an alienist, appearing in behalf of Harry K.

According to the story told by the woman, Miss Dora Pedder, the alleged larceny took place about two years ago. She knew Dr. Willey had taken the jewels, but, despite her constant demands, he has refused to return them to her; she Jim Corbett. Explains Why Flat Footed Man Is. At a Disadvantage. BY JAMES J. CORBETT. Former Heavyweight Champion of the World. I have stated many times that Jack Johnson is a flat-footed fighter. Many followers of the ring have asked and written me as to exactly what I mean by a flat-footed man, and if it be a disadvantage, where does it come in? Well, in hundreds of battles it makes no difference whether a man fights "on his toes" or on the "noles of his foot." In an affair between two such fighters as Jim Joffries and Jack Johnson every slight advantage figures. And being flat-footed will help Johnson's defeat. Now I am going to try and explain as best I can what a disadvantage a flat-footed man is under it is plain to all that a flat-footed man can carry as fast as fast as a man on his toes. While the shuffling about, the opponent can jump, smash, and get under cover before the other fellow can get up enough speed to follow. None will deny that speed is a necessary asset in the prized ring. The slow fellow may win a battle now and then, but not often. Go back over the records or the prize ring and you will discover that all the topnotchers were able to prance around like debutantes at a cotillion. And in most cases you will find "winner behind their names CITES CASES IN EVIDENCE Take the缸 explots of such men as Bob Fitzsimmons, Tommy Ryan, Kid McCoy and, if I may as myself, Every one of this aggregation was always primed for a rush, and in most cases sent over a wallop and got away before a return. Joe Gans was the only flat footed fighter in my years that I ever saw go down the line liking all comers. But we all must admit that this world will produce very few men possessing the cleverness and strength that the "Old Master" had in his day. Flat footed fighters have sel'd done been enrolled under the title of champion. Many crities may ask. "If a flat footed fighter is not successful, why is it Johnson holds the championship?" That looks good dope. But did Jack ever meet a man anyway near Jeffries in class, or a man who was built by nature for a champion fighter? Not so it is noticeable. Johnson won all his fighters—as only a flat footed fighter can—by waiting for his opponent to come in and mix it. The dope will show you that it was trying to swap punches that beat Tommy Burns and Stanley Ketchel I don't want anybody to think for a moment that I mean Jack Johnson is no fighter. On the contrary I think he is a marvel, particularly on the defensive and entitled to his honors. JOHNSON SELDOM LEADS But I am going to try and show why in my estimation Johnson's flat footedness will be his undoing. He is a slight supple man in comparison with Jeffries. He should have the speed to carry the fight to Jeff's hit and get away. That's what I did with Jeff at Coney Island, and I had him thrust from his own exertions lunging after me I fought all the way on my toes I did most of the leading in that battle, and my speed kept me out of harm's way until the twenty third round John son does little or no leading. He rolls on the other man coming to him. Then he, blocks and counters. He cannot break ground and put his opponent at a disadvantage because his movements are slow. Do you think for a moment that he will be able to make that all time blow of Jeff's all time? Certainly not. Johnson's style is made to order for the big fellow Jeff will bore in and Johnson will peek away with his jabs but he will not pick many of those swings of Jeff's out of the air with his gloves and forearms. This battle will be the case of the man with the stronger punch. And take it from me, there is no man in the world able to face Joffries in the ring and swap punches with out getting a ticket to dreamland in return. Johnson has a good right hand but his white rival possesses a pair of hands and he has the kick of a mule in both. JEFF ALREADY AT WEIGHT Now a few words to the skeptics who are worrying over Jeff getting into condition. It was only a few days ago that Jeffries submitted to an exhaustive physical examination in Chicago and was pronounced to be in magnificent shape. That should clear up the situation. I mot Joffa a few days ago and want to announce that he already tips the scale between 230 and 265 pounds, which is his regular fighting weight. It looks now as though the big follow would have to case up for a time to be able to fight. With his health good, his strength never better, his eye as clear as when he was at his best, the man to boat Jim Jeffries is still unboard of. And I say this notwithstanding the fact that I consider Jack Johnson a good, clover, high-class fighter MUST FIGHT IN UTAH Salt Lake City, Jan. 22—After a long conference with Jim Jeffries today, Tux Hickard, the fight promoter, assented that the Jeffries-Johnson fight would take place where he selected or not at all, and that he had fully arranged to have it take place here. In answer to a series of questions put to him by your correspondent, Rickard issued the following statement: You ask what my position will ```markdown ``` "Unless they box for me according to the forms of the contract they both have signed there, will be no boxing contest. "Not, only will I claim the forfeit of $10,000 posted by each, but will take legal stops to protect the interest I have in their meeting and in the pictures, should they jump to another promoter. "There is no dispute between Gleason and myself. Neither do I expect the slightest protest from Joffries or Johnson as to the place I have selected. Tim Sullivan will inform you that he is the final judge of all controversies between myself, Joffries and Johnson, and for Jack Gleason and myself as well WILL POST ENTIRE PURSE "The entire purse of $101,000 is to be posted by me, and I will do so. Not one cent is to come from Gleason, and also in case of a financial loss Gleason is not to stand any part, as I have guaranteed him in writing that he will not be called upon to meet any loss or exposure. "Mr Jeffries has not at any time said that he would not box for me in Utah Those reports come from Berger, who is boosting Frisco. "There is every indication here that the gate receipts at the contest will be well over $300,000. Every man in Utah is coming, and when the Fourth of July comes every city of importance in the United States will have its delegation here." TEX RICKARD The foregoing will about settle all doubts as to where the big fight will take place if it is over to be decided. Rickard knows whereof he speaks when he insists that the big men must go to him to hold their championship mill. He knows the strength of his backing thoroughly, and has been promised by the high est authorities in the State of Utah that his plans will not be interfered with RICKARD WANTS PART His decision to take down the fighters forfeit and his plan to "cut in" on the fight, no matter where it may be held, will set Joffries and Johnson to thinking, and when the former Goldfield minor shows his hand to them they must decide on Salt Lake as the place for the battle, or call everything off and reopen negotiations for the holding of another meeting to sign up for a fight under new conditions, and oven to the authorities of the famous promoter. He will hold them to their original agreement, and without doubt he would be upheld by the courts. When Rickard presented his bid he had inserted in his offer a clause reserving for himself the right to hold the fight in one of three places, namely, Utah, Nevada, or California. He is going to make the fighters live up to that clause now, and in holding out for Utah as the place for the mill he knew right along what he was doing. He paid no attention to the word or Gov Spry that the fight could not take place in his State, but went about the work of cementing the protection that was necessary to go through with his arangement. SEEMS TO HAVE ASSURANCE He has invested a great amount of money to date, and has gone so far as to lease the big Saltair Pavilion a recreation park which lies about a dozen miles outside of the city limits of Salt Lake. This pavilion is built on plains of 6 miles out on the lake, and is owned and controlled by the piliers of the Morrison Church. And it was from these people, who are the most influential in the State, that Rickard got his lease, and with it the guarantee that he would not be interfered with if he wanted to hold the Joffries John son bout there on July 4th. There is surely a business tone to Rickard's statement and it be hooves Jack Johnson and Jim Joffries to seize insulating on California as the place for the fight, because if they go too for they may be out of pocket to the extent of at least $10,000 each, to say nothing of what they might lose through litigation and the cutting in of Rickard. JEFFRIES IS WILLING Jeffries and his manager, Sam Borger, declined to enter into the dispute, but they said that Utah can have the big bout if the people want it, and the participants are assured of no interference. This, in substance, was what Berger and Jeffries gave out upon their arrival here from Denver this afternoon Jeffries and Berger emphatically refuse to enter into the controversy between the two fight impascuos just now as to the place for the fight, but do so later on, if Rickard and Glosson fail to arrive at an agreement. He ended that he had ever said that he will not fight in Utah. Here is what Berger says for Jeffries on the subject. "Salt Lake can have the contest. I wish to deny all statements purporting to have come from Jeffries that he would not box in Utah. He never said anything of the kind. Jeffries will box in any place named by the promoters." SAYS HE WILL BE THERE Jeffries 'onight was formally notified by Rickard on the stage of the Colonial Theater, at which he appeared in a theatrical stunt with the Jeffries-Gotch Farmer Burns Dr. Roller combination, that the championship bout will be held here July 4th. "I'll be there," replied Jeffries. "I'm willing to meet Johnson here or anywhere in the three states named in the articles of agreement, when you and Glaser get together and determine upon the place."—Washington Post. . ____ Bir Robert, Gray has been indoposed at his residence 1017 N.

The two examiners dropped into Lynn at 7 30 in the morning and went to the Lynn Security Safe Deposit and Trust Company's branch to make a routine examination in the ordinary course of their work. The bank does not open for business until 8.30, but Janitor Johnson was sweeping out the place and had left the outer door open. The bank examiners, without a word to Mr Johnson, walked in. Mr. Johnson noted that, although woll dressed they were of husky appearance—altogether husky, he said later to be left alone in a bank with one aged janitor "Hold on there." He said, "the bank can't open yet." "That a all right," said one of the men coolly, "we're bank exam inners from Washington "You might be from Heaven," said Mr Johnson, "but you can't do no business here 'till the bank's opened" Then one of the visitors announced he was going to use the telephone. He found himself in a moment looking into the muzzle or a big revolvevle "You can use this instead," said Mr Johnson "You mean to put us out, then?" said one, angrily "That's just what I do," said Mr. Johnson "All right, we'll go." exclaimed the other. But well report you just remember that." "All right, I'll report you, too," said the Janitor. Then, as the me-to-left the building, he locked up the bank and started for a policeman He came back with Officer Loring Burrill and Sorgt Andrew Bosson They found the bank open Inside stood the two "burglar" talking excitedly to Manager Fred Miller and the other officials.

New York, Jan 28—Frank A. Giese, registered from Baltimore, was arrested by detectives while buying an expensive fur coat in a Broadway store. Giese whipped out a ten-cartridge revolver, but was disarmed. He was charged with passing bogus chocks aggregating $3200 on the National Bank of the Republic, of Chicago, and hotels in this city. On him, however, was found a channels bag containing almost $10,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry that were taken from a Mrs. Sommers, of 222 West Fifty-seventh street. She saw the jewels at police headquarters, identified them and said a fine breastpin was missing. This Giese pawned in an Eighth avenue pawnshop, but the detectives have recovered it. Giese made a complete confession, say the police. Detectives followed Gliese to Mrs. Sommers' apartment. When he had left they asked Mrs. Sommers what she knew about him. She suddenly arrose, walked to a dazzing table, as if in search of something, and then screamed. Mrs. Sommers said she met Gliese at a New Year's party at a fashionable restaurant. Then she told of removing her diamonds at Gliese's request placing them in a chamois bag, which Gliese managed to secure in some unknown manner. Men Dier While at Braun Solyville, Del.

Van Norden, president of the Van Norden Trust company, was held up and robbed of $28,000 on East Thirty-third street. New York, by two women. Two suspects are under arrest. He was glad that the women highwayman had not taken quite all that he and when they waylaid him. The $28,000 which they did take were stretched at full length in the long compartment of his wallet; doubled into a smaller pocket were four $100 bills and a sixtie piece of paper currency with the $500 mark on it. These remnants of the $28,000 which Mr. Van Norden had with him when he left the house were found in West Fifty-seventh street had been overlooked by the feminine thugs. "I had been to the theater with friends," said Mr Van Norden. "We stopped at the Waldorf and had a little supper, after which I went into the writing room and wrote one or two letters. I started to go home some afternoon and midnight. I went across Fifth avenue and wished Thirty-third street, intending to take a Fourth avenue car I noticed two women just ahead of me, an old one and a young one, both rather flashily dressed "One of them turned and looked at me, and then when I was nearly up to them, the young one dropped her pocketbook. I immediately stooped to them, and looked at her. And heavier of the two throw herself on me, and I felt her throw back the lapol of my heavy fur lined overcoat. Wrestled With Woman. "I rose to a standing position and wrestled myself away from her. The younger woman was standing near laughing. Don't mind her; she is just a little bit drunk," she said. Just then the older woman made another dive at me, and I watched with her for a fraction of a minute and then freed myself of her. "I don't remember that I said any thing, and there was nothing said by the two women except that one remark from the younger one. I walked on toward the car at Fourth avenue, since my wife and the wallet in the pocket though. I thought the tempt had been made to rob me it had failed. When I got home I looked in my wallet and found that $28 000 was gone from the middle pocket." After having discovered his loss Mr. Van Norden went early on the following morning to headquarters and reported the incident to the detective who was in charge of the investigation of the two women Detectives brought two women into headquarters on Sunday. One of them is known variously as May, Annie and Marilie Williams. She gave her age as twenty-four. The other, an older and heavier woman, said she was Bossie Roberts, and that she was known as a police society as Kitsy Dowdell, of Chicago, one of the experts at purse grabbing.

W., were run down by a locomotive on the New York Central railroad. A stiff wind was blowing, and the men did not hear the approaching light engine as it bore down upon them. Doberty was ground to pieces and his body was strewn along the roadbed for a quarter of a mile. McTiernan was ground to pieces and his skull crushed in, while Jackson had both his legs covered at the knees. The locomotive was turning backward at the time, and the crew, unaware of the accident, continued on to this city without slackening speed. Jackson regained consciousness in about fifteen minutes after he and his companions had been struck, and finding that his lower limbs had been so sore, removed the laces from his shoes and tied the laces around the stumps of his legs in an effort to check the flow of blood. He accomplished this with difficulty owing to his greatly weakened condition, and then rolled over and over in the snow and slid down the stairs, and shaken when he found a man, to whom he related the circumstances of the accident.

A most brutal triple murder was revealed in an obscure flat in the heart of New York's East Side. Two women and a man are the victim, and the manor of their death was horrible. Gagged with silk handkerchiefs and their heads crushed with hammer or axe, they were left bleeding and fully dressed on the floor, with a whimpering bull terrier as companion for the dead. Robbery was the motive, or else it is another case of the Black Hood. Salvators Scalpone, a well-told young Italian barber, his wife and a middleaged woman, believed to have been Mrs. Realpone's mother, are the victims. His failure to appear at his shop started an investigation, which resulted in the discovery of the crime. Policemen, summoned by the jailor of the tenement, which is at 10 and 13 Montgomery street, entered the locked fat by way of a fire escape. Railroads Won't Increase Wages. Not a single railroad company in the eastern section of the United States or Canada has accepted the demand made by the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen or the Order, of Railway Conductors for an increase in wages and uniform working conditions. This statement was made by W. G. Leo, head of the trainmen, at the headquarters of the trainmen in Cleveland. While the trainmen say they are ready to strike, if necessary, yet it is a general opinion among their officers that there will be no occasion for drastic measures. The trainmen are merely attempting to establish on the eastern railways the same wage and benefits that they obtained in the west two years ago. A similar movement is on foot as affecting the southern railways. FIRE Dead In Factory Fire Five persons were killed and about a score injured in a fire that destroyed a four-story building on the southwest corner of Chancellor and South American streets. Philadelphia. Several of the injured will probably die from the fire with any capacity through the building with any capacity that the firemen were powerless to save it, and the loss on building and contents will reach close to $76,000. The majority of the firms occupying the structure were shittiwat and other garment manufacturers. During the progress of the fire about fifteen men and girls leaped from the street at night and were street behind. All those were hurt to a greater or less extent and some of them are not expected to live. Eleven Dead In Explosion Eleven men were killed and five seriously injured when a premature explosion of dynamite took place in a tunnel of the New York city aquaduct about a mile outside of Cold Spring, N Y.

Industrial Life of French Capital is Rapidly Becoming Paralyzed—Street Cars Tied Up and Factories Shutting Down. Paris, Jan. 28.—Fifty thousand soldiers, comprising the garrison of Paris, were placed at the disposal of the municipal authorities to help fight the flood, which is spreading rain and constation throughout the city. The water at the Pont Royal has touched twenty-nil foot above low tide and is still rising at the rate of almost half an inch an hour. The damage already done is incalculable. The industrial life of the city is rapidly becoming paralyzed. Only two sections of the subway are in operation, while three-fourths of the surface lines are tied up. Factories are shaking down at the back of park due to the electric plants having been flooded. Half of the telephones in the city are out of commission, and telegraph and railroad communication is almost shut down. The disaster locally is due chiefly to the fact that the whole marvelous underground architecture of the city, which is honeycombed with labyrinths, is filling up with water, causing the sewers to burst and the streets to cave in and threatening the foundations of buildings. The scene on the river front is majestic but appalling The Seine has broken its barriers at several points and is pouring its yellow torrents into the surrounding streets, converting them into vortable lakes. At any moment it may be necessary to blow up the Alma bridge, where the water is but a few inches from the keystone of the arch, as a dam there might turn into a river. The city is as to flood several of the most fashionable partitions of the city. During the night the subway stations at the Orléans terminus and at Qual d'Orans were flooded and closed, and the snaking of the Rue de Poilers let the water through a foot and a half deep into the Rue de Lille and the Rue d'I Université, streets in which the Vaugard district near the Boucleau hospital also is lined. The weather grows worse rather than better, and at noon Paris was the center of an era of low pressure and bitter cold. Rain and sleet were falling throughout the flooded regions, adding to the suffering of the poor and homeless. The price of bread and other foods increases owing to the fact that communication with the provinces is crippled. The supplied supply of drinking water has ceased the greatest alarm. With the rise of the flood just a few inches higher the pumping stations still in operation must stop, and Paris, in the midst of a miniature ocean, will be without water fit to drink. The situation at between twenty and thirty suburban towns above this city is worse than in the capital itself At Charcotton where the swollen river Home of the Sine are an area of 20 square miles has been flooded The submerged district includes At fortville and very-SurSeine with a total population of 50,000. At this point the soldiers are firemen are doing heroic work in rescuing families in boats and pontons At Fortville the cemetery has been washed out and caskets having been placed in floating places are floating down stream The animals of the Zoological Garden which were in danger of drowning have been removed to higher ground Physicians fear an epidemic when the floods subside, as the overflowing sowers are likely to contaminate the river and the rate driven out of their underground homes are invading residences.

BOYCOTT MAKES MEAT PRICES DROP There Has Been No Apparent Change In Retail Prices, But Big Decline is Exposed Before Another Week. Pittsburg, Jan 26 — The effect of the first day's boycott on high价 food prices in this city was immediate. Wholesale prices, which were slowly coming down, took a slump. More than 125 000 workmen began their thirty days attnance from meat. Hogs, heavies, which on Saturday sold at $8.85 and on Monday at $7.70, dropped to $6.65 Hogs, mediums, which had been selling at $8.90 and $7.70, dropped to $6 Pigs, which on Saturday were $7.75 and on Monday $6.60, were quoted at $30 Tuesday Lambs remained at $ Choice cattle, which brought $7.50 on Saturday, sold from $405 to $2.50. Our cattle sold from $405 to $2.50. Good cattle was the one exception. It advanced 20 cents over Monday's price, being quoted Tuesday at $9.90, as against $70 Saturday's quotation on good cattle, however, was $8.40. The boycott has had no apparent effect on the retail markets. Butchers quoted round steak at 15 cents the pound, sirloin, 18 and 20 cents about der steak, 15 cents lamb chops 15 to 20 cents, pork chops 15 to 20 cents, the 16 cent rate prevailing where a whole loin is bought, sliced ham 25 cents, whole hams, 17 and 18 cents, according to quality while the other grades of meats are selling in prosections. The dealers declared that there has been no advance in prices for weeks Trade has decreased to some extent because of the boycott. One dealer in pork saled butchers are buying to supply only immediate goods, believing that there will be a big decline in the price before another week. Butter and eggs will in a few days be under the boycott the same as is meat at present. Pearing this butter dealers began to scale their prices, and in some instances the price was 6 cents per pound. Eggs too, while they are the cold storage brands, are beginning to come down in price and as much as 2 and 3 cents a dozen was loomed off. Eat meat only once a day and you will help to solve the problem of the cost of living and also improve your health' is the advice of Dr E B Walters director of the department of health Dr Walters and Dr J. C McNall superintendent of the human food inspection, are convinced that the operation of a municipal shatter would reduce materially the cost of meat to the consumer and would provide meat known to have been properly inspected. Developments indicate that the buy cott is a genuine result. Butter stalls and markets in the residential sections are well nigh deserted. There was a rush in the fish markets. Fish prices are lower than they have been here in some months and the consumption of oysters and fish will be startling, according to one of the dealers GOTHAM FOOD PRICES DROP Milk, Eggs and Butter Much Cheaper in New York New York Jan 26. Milk eggs and butter led the process of recording prices in food products. Nationwide agitation, aided by potent local in-fluences, have brought about the drop in food prices, following a greatly reduced consumption. State and monopoly laws are to be invoked in the movement to combat the trusts g卑ity of advancing food prices. A special grant jury whose particular office it will be to consider the effect of combinations among dealers in foodstuffs was sworn in. While it is expected first to deal with the alleged milk combine the most damaging and possibly the whole挤食 the food situation will be taken in during the probing. Milk is down a cent a quart already on the routes of at least two big dealors, butter in the best qualities has been cut 5 cents a pound and eggs are off 5 cents a dozen in local marshmallows. But the real selling as "artfully fresh" at high prices are no longer put out as such, the big wholesalers say WANT EXPORT TAX ON MEAT Father of Boycott Circulating Petitions to Be Sent to Congress. Cleveland, O Jan 26 - Fred W. Bebelin, originator of the meat boycott, and Mayor Beah discussed the anti-meat satiation and suggested that the meat industry move to have congress impose an export tax upon meat. This plan is supplementary to the petitions now being-circulated The petitions will be presented to congress. While the wholesale price has been going down steadily, there has been no lowering of prices. The petitions contain in the local retail market. The signing of abstinence pledges still continues. Compliment to the Highlanders During the war in South Africa at order was issued that all men of the highland regiments must cover up their uniforms, as it was thought that they made too obvious targets for the enemy.

Colonel John Sneed's Conversations on Domestic Problems Copyright. 1800. by C. S. Yost. III.—How to Keep Young. YOUNG Mrs Rollins was dressed for the opera when Colonel Snook, her father, entered. The old gentleman threw up his hands in mock astonishment and chucked with delight. "My, my, my, child," he exclaimed, "you look as fine as the queen of Sheba." And I let it, he added, "you're a doggone sight sighter. Turn around, honey and let me get a sort of panoramic view of you." With an indulgent smile Mrs Rolls revolved. "The more I look the better I like," it said the colonel. "But the wrappin' isn't any too good for what's inside of it. And that reminds me that I haven't kissed you yet. You dazzled me so I plum forgot. Kind of turn your check up to one side so I won't miss it." But last, the Colonel was running the end of his tongue over his lips, and there was a puzzled expression on his face. "What's the matter, paran?" asked Mrs. Rollina, with twinkling eyes seen quite familiar," he answered "What is it, honey?" P "Oh, it's just a little touch of rouge daddy, that's all!" "Huh!" "grunted the colonel." "Beginnin' to paint the lily already, are you well, I don't take much stock in artificial colors, but I reckon the principle's all right. You see, there's where's William! Dressin' eh? Just got honest! I'm afraid that boy is workin' too hard." "DON'T BEEN QUITE afraid that boy is FAMILIAR" workin' too hard. Think I'll alt down and chat with you anyhow until he comes down. "As I was goin' to remark, the little girl was going to the market and arranged himself comfortably in the big armchair. "I've got some rather peculiar notions about keepin' young I'm a long ways from being an old man yet, but I've been around here a considerable time, and maybe I can understand what every woman wants to know "I reckon you've heard that old songs about a woman bein' as old as she looks, while a man just as old as he looks. Well, there some truth in the distinction, for looks have a whole lot more to do with a woman than a man, but all the same it's the feeling that counts in the long run and it counts just as much for one sex as it does for the other. You're goin' to feel young, and if you feel young the looks will take care of themselves. Now there's a good deal more in that statement than I can work out for you while William gets into his dress shirt but it all slums down to this; that the way to keep young is to quit grown old. What that thing call a KEEPING TOOK parabox isn't it? Hub! Well I don't care what you label it it's the right formula. Of course you understand I am not talkin about yours! I am talkin about looks and feelings. Ive got to admit that time has some influence, but it only relative. I know a fellow down town who's thirty five years old and he acts like he was about ten. There such a thing as keepin too doggie young, you know I see women that way too. Then there another fellow I know who isn't over forty and of who I don't know. So you see, honey, the calendar don't count in the game as much as people imagine. It's the looks and feelings, but principally the feeling's, that make you old or keep you young. "And you need just two things, little girl, to keep you feeling young I've been keepin' them a secret, avin' them for you. One of them is what is called a stiff upper lip the other's a tapered nose the other's tapered nose toward life; the other's a physical condition. A 'man or a woman with a stiff upper lip don't get discouraged, don't get the blues, don't worry about trifles. When a black cloud comes along she grabs it and turns it around so the silver thin' will show; she finds out what her duty is to help her friends, she fusses about it; she don't make mountains out of mollehins nor cross bridges until she gets to them, and if there's any fun gain on in her neighborhood she's gain' to have her share of it without makin' a fool of itself." "Now, did you ever, see anybody with a straight back who was really old? No, she's not. No, since you never did. Keep your backbone straight, honey, whatever you do. The minute it begins to ang or bend that very minute old ear starts down the road to meet you. It's easy enough to keep it straight now, while your years are few, but after awhile you'll begin to feel like lettin' your shoulders droop, and if you let them do it, why, pretty soon your chest will go in, and your stomach will push out, and the wrin- "MOUNTAINS OUT OF MOLEBILLA" kies "it begin to multiply. You'll look and, what's more, money, you'll feel old. The backbone was made to support your head, and when the sup begin to get wabbit you can't superstructure with foillet creams. "Not that I'm against toilet creams; bless your life, no. I believe in a woman lookin' as handsome as she can as long as she can, and when I see one of sixty, as I do every day or so over home, masagna her neck is too tight, and when it is, into her cheeks, why, I glory in her spunk. But—and I want you to get this straight in your mind, honey—if she didn't have a straight back and a stiff upper tip she wouldn't do dain't that sort of thing. When your spinal column begins to droop you begin to quit carin' much about your body. If you haven't got enough ammonia, you're not gone' to have enough to rub the crow's feet from the corners of your eyes, and the only thing you can do is to get some red and white paint and cover up the cracks. But paint, my dear, won't keep you young. It's all right in an emergency I believe every woman ought to have a little pignt on her toilet table for me to use. And when she has her eyes and no color in her cheeks and she's compelled to go out in com- pank—when she's pank, in fact, and don't want to show it, then I think it's all right to put up a good straight bluff. But honey, don't you get the notion in your head that you've got to swab around with a paint brush every time you go out Nice. Put a color in a jar that is anywhere near as fine as the data that nature puts pany—when she's slick, in fact, and don't want to show it, then I think right to put up a good straight bluff. But honey, don't you get the notion in your head that you've got to swab a around with a paint brush every time you go out. No man ever put a color in a jar that was anywhere near as fine as the tints that nature puts in a woman's face, and if she don't keep her buried under artificial pliages they still stay with her as long as she hides herself away with face to face and gets all the life, straight back and a stuff upper up little girl but all the cosmetics on earth." Going to Church There is a cautionary lesson for sleep in late on Sunday morning and none of them has a suit. It just instills pure and unobtrusive inness. That what it is. We're not of us a last minute or less mostly unstressed and it's a powerful impatient to end in bed until the dinner is set, digging, but all the same, it doesn't a good habit to get it. I met a man of the 18th century and I was soon of the 18th century after my dear friend I to a secret party after new denies I did the best. The first man, they did pick but I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the church is a mighty good thing to litch on to whether you're figurin on happiness to this world or the next I don't mean to say that the church will carry a man into heaven. Not by a long jump. Avisly can John the church but get them through the pearly gates and do their part. Some of the menestre can't at people I ever find any dis as with being to the church and I thought they and through tickets to the green fields of Eden I'd want to go the other way. But I know this is a lot I know they'll all be in it. Of when they try to come under the war at the flash, and so the things they do and the things they say don't bother me a little bit. On the other hand I believe a man or a woman if they have the right kind of a disposition and the necessary stiffness of backbone can worry along through life and get satisfactorily安心. I don't want to worry from the church. But I can't make that but too strong it only one in a thousand who can do that. The other 900 need some help to keep 'em from wandering off the straight path. I don't want to worry and peace and everything else that worth having. Colonel John Reed. SHOT AT DOG: KILLS WOMAN Farmer Fires at Fleeing Animal and Hits Neighbor's Wife Sound Bond ind.

All the glory and the hopes of the nation and of the world were built on the law and the prophets. The Pharisees had already accused Jesus of abrogating the law of Moses (Mark 2 24 John 5.16, 18). Jesus denies the accusation in the strongest language '"Abrogate the law of Moses" Never You Pharisees have abrogated it by your false interpretations and misglications. I have come to fulfill it 18 "For verity I say unto you till heaven and earth pass away, one job or one little title in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished" Because the moral law is as eternal as natural law "There is no repealing clause in the New Testament that acts aside the Old Testament."

Suffer a stroke of Paralysis. Philadelphia, Jan. 18.—Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, of the Methodist Episcopal church, suffered a stroke of paralysis while riding in an Arch street car, and he is now in the Hahnmann hospital in a serious condition. His entire right side is paralyzed and he has lost the power of speech. Because of his advanced age—Bishop Foss was seventy six years old on Monday—fears are entertained for his recovery. For a year or more his health has been precarious. It is only recently that he has been able to go out. Blahson Foss left his home, at 605 Arch street, to take a short walk and to mall a letter. He walked down Arch street to Teeth, and then boarded a westbound car which passed his door. At Thirteenth street he offered a sharp cry and the lay was stopped. He was haplos and was carried into a stair at the corner and a few/m moments later he was removed to the hospital. Bell the lodges and courts, address I, Jr. Street.

As a substitute small glasses of sweet elder may be used, grape juice, fruit punch, which contains no liquor, orangeade or lemonade or any one or another of the so-called 'soft drinks'. The drink is served in wine or champagne glasses at the proper time for the drinking of the toasts. Perhaps the nicest thing, in the opinion of many people, is white grape juice. It is very pretty, a pale amber color usually, and is particularly suitable for serving at dinner The Difference , Why is it that when a small boy does something wrong, his mother all ways says: "I'll have your father wake you when he comes home tonight," but when a small girl does some forbidden thing, does ma say that dad will attend to her case? Not much. She simply calls her into the house, weeps over her waywardness, gives her a stick of candy and says: "Now, run along, darling, and Don't Evor Do It Again." To Grow Korean Figs.

THE DLNGT Senator Tillman Blunders Continued from the First page. of humanity I am going to do the best I can to head off that team (Loud laughter) THOSE ABBERATIONS OF THE MIND Now my friend the distinguished Senator from South Carolina I have known well, have been glad to know have been honored by his friendship and I want to assure you that he is a good deal better fellow than you sometimes think from what he says. He is not always one who sits and talks thinking about the race question and misgénation and amalgamation and that sort of thing. He does have other thoughts, but when he goes on his feet and stars on that slippery subject it requires a good deal of force or a good deal of pause to keep him from going further than he really wanted to go him self. WILL NOT ANNEN CUBA Now he tells my friend from Cuba that we are going to anneaux Coton Well. I don't think so. He thinks that because Cuba has a rare question we have got to try their race question with our own question not have a sort of result with sulphur rising from it that is going to consume the world. I don't believe that Senator does think so, as these words roll from it. He also and they have rolled from it as the new amusement on the Senate floor and from the stump and have very much plished anything in the way. We will be cannot get to it. GROWING HERB Mr Taft patched a glowing picture of the Philippines and said he felt that, end of the East of which Kittling had told Mr Tillman he said, thought the army in the Philippines had nothing to be proud of because he had not been there. Now the Senator says he has been allowed to think but the officers of the army have not been Mr Taft remarked. Well I contend that the circumstances with the result of the fight. I think the army is ahead of the Senator. This was greeted with great laugh in which Mr Tillman joined Dr. President defended the course of the Mekong Administration in taking over the Philippines. Returning to a remark of Mr Tillman he said. PROBLEM BOTT TANATION Now my friend the Senator is troubled about tautism without representation and about the Declaration of Independence. I am not going into these arguments and I am not going to point out to my friend the Senator some of the most glaring instances that I could point out in his view of the Constitution in South Carolina and his view of the Philippines." This apparent crack at the suppression of the negro vote in South Carolina brought shouts from the audience. There were loud shouts when the President declared that whether we had the Philippines or would have an army of the presents site Mr. Taft made of the opportunities that had been opened to the United States through the Spanish war from which dated the expansion of this country into a great world power and continuing said *PERCULATE THE REMARKS Now I deprive the tone of my friend Senator Tillman in the statement that we are ashamed of all of this. Well I am not ashamed of it because if it had not come that way I should not have been in the White House I know, and if he expects me to shed tears over that he is mistaken (Laughter) I think I know our army and navy well enough to know that while they sing these songs that at times hold up to ridicule our "little brown brothers" in the Philippines they look back to that service with pride and with the belief that they accomplish what no other army could have accomplished in the same time and under the same circumstances with as little blood and as little oppression It may be, as I say, that I am a prejudiced witness I am Never the less a witness may be prejudiced, but he may have such an advantage in opportunities for observation which are denied to those who are only free from prejudice as to make his evidence better than the judge who sits on the case (Cheers) OTHERS THINK DIFFERENTLY The truth is, while my friend the Senator comes from South Carolina and the South I think I know something of the attitude or his brethren in the South with reference to the Philippine Islands and this general policy of expansion, and I think we could have a vote on that alone without introducing the race question and all that sort of thing—the wisdom of our taking the Philippines as we have taken them and developing them as we are developing them, teaching them English and extending to them, as they show themselves fit, self-government. Then the time, may come, and, I hope it may come soon, when they shall be ready to take over a government like that of Australia or Canada, and I say so not because that we might not be willing to part with them but because they will find that under the present arrangement, under the tariff as arranged there and the tariff as arranged here, it is greatly to their advantage to retain some sort of bond, no matter how light, which will justify their continuing to enjoy the benefit of our markets with a free trade tariff toward the Orient. SENATOR TILLMAN AROUSED HIM And now, my friends, I have talked a good deal longer than I intended to but in friend, the Senator, who perched to me that he would not; have said a word if he had not desired to start me up, thoughter, so I had to gratify his desire and show him that he was successful I thank you, my friends for giving me this opportunity to bring back the reminiscences of the Philippines. There were times in the Philippines when no nervous strain upon those who were responsible was tremendous, and the more tremendous because we were so far removed, it seemed, from Washington and the people of the United States. There were times, and they were many when the beauties of life in that country when the associations that we made there, when the feeling that we did have a people who were grateful at times and who listened to us as children depending on us and having confidence in us gave us a pleasure in doing the good which we thought we were doing a pleasure that knew no measure for there is nothing in life equal to the consciousness of hatred attempted to do good for a person and I either in a measure succeeded. MURKLED CONDEMNATION There is no other thought that I wanted to give you, and that was in relation to the carabao. He too told me I must say unfortunate condemnation from my friend the son at that for kind of sympathy with the dark beast and for lack of opportunity of observation. There is no personal that is the friend of the carabao. He moves away he moves boldly, but always in the right direction. He gives me after a time with a request to obstacles. It is not dealing with the Emperor with anything in the hope that you are going to always solitude. IN A HOW TO COMPLETE THINGS 1. I also agree to the right; I can be working out the problem. 2.

ELLI ON JACK JOHNSON And Hurt His Eye—The Big Black Signs a Lordly Ball Bond Jack Johnson the negro pugilist got the worst of his encounter with Norman Pinder a featherweight colored man of 26 West Ninety-ninth Street when the two met yesterday in the Jefferson Market Court for the fourth round of their legal bout Johnson is charged with assaulting Pinder in a saloon Pinder was in court with an eye gone bad. The big prize fighter leashed on the Judge's desk and fashed a huge diamond ring in the Court's eye while Mark Alter, his lawyer, questioned him "Did you hit this man in the jaw?" "Hit that?" said Johnson contemptuous "nous" souh! Why. If I had ever hit him in the jaw I would have broken his jaw" "Did you kick him in the head?" Again the big boxer sniffed: "If I have kicked him with my foot I would have killed him I never touched him. He hurt himself by falling downalarm." "It's strange how people fall down stairs on their eyes," said the Court, and this defiant guilty and I will hold him for trial in $1,000 ball." While Alter was hustling for a bondman Johnson sat on a bench toying with a handful of diamonds that he carries loosely. "Some one will stick you up and take those stones one of these days." a man suggested to Johnson. "Ho ain't got a chance," retorted the fighter.
