THE RICHMOND PLANET COMBINATION WITH DEMOCRATS The Regular Republican Organization Goes Down in Defeat. Speaker Cannon Meets the Issue NO WEAKENING ON THE PART OF THE CHIEFTAIN. EVEN HIS ENEMIES ADMIRE HIS VOLUME XXVII, NO.17 A COMBINATION WITH DEMO The Regular Republization Goes Down Speaker Cannon Me NO WEAKENING ON THE PART EVEN HIS ENEMIES A COURAGE. Washington, March 19.—Speaker Cannon went down to defeat today, but when his enemies believed him to be in utter rout he turned and forced from them what practically amounts to a vote of confidence. It was the last play of a veteran fighter and of a parliamentarian whose hand has been trained by years of practical experience. The Speaker was forced from the Committee on Rules by a vote of 191 to 155, forty Republican insurgents siding with the solid Democratic vote. The trick that the Speaker turned on his enemies was in the form of a resolution presented by Representative Burleson of Texas, a Democrat, declaring the Speaker's chair vacant, and ordering an election of Mr. Cannon's successor. The Speaker already had announced from the chair amid an impressive silence that he would entertain such a motion. It was promptly voted down by 191 to 155 amid a scene that is probably without parallel in the history of the House of Representatives. Only seven insurgents sided with the Democrats in voting to depose Uncle Joe from the post that he has held for seven years. As a matter of fact, the proposition to oust him from the Speakership was rejected by a majority of thirty-six, which is ten more than the majority, that the Speaker had when he was first elected to the office. By paving the way for this vote on the Speakership question, which never has been directly involved in the present fight, Mr. Cannon adroitly drew a line of sleavage between the issue presented in his present defent and that known as Cannonism. The vote will go before the country as the best of evidence that Cannon the individual was not the issue in the present struggle, but that it was the system which he had inherited from his predecessor. It was a mighty clever move on the Speaker's part and it also was the child of his own brain, as his advisers had been urging him to throw down his gavel and resign. REGULARS SHORN OF POWER The Committee on Rules, under the insurgent victory today, will be changed from the form which it has had for half a century and the Cannon organization will be shorn of the power which it has exercised under it for the last seven years. The committee will be enlarged, probably on Monday from five to ten members till of whom shall be elected by the House itself instead of being appointed by the Speaker. Of the ten, six are to be Republicans and four Democrats. In the selection of the members of this committee will be found the possibility of another big row in the House, although it is conceded that the insurgents and the Democrats will be able to carry out their will in the matter if they stick together. On this point, however, there is a much greater chance of a split. The resolution adopted by the insurgent and Democratic vote specifically eliminates the Speaker from the committee. From the very beginning of the fight in the House today it was apparent to everybody that the Cannon organization would be humbled and the control of the House, temporarily at least, transferred from the Republican normal majority to the actual majority composed of the insurgents and the Democrats. The first test vote foreshadowed defeat --- for the regulars, and each succeeding vote demonstrated as the day wore on that the insurgents were gathering strength. NEVER SUCH A SESSION. Never in the history of the House, according to old timers here, has there been such a session. It was simply one scene of disorder after another. The House at times was utterly beyond the control of the presiding officer, and members regulars insurgents and Democrats—all acted at times like wild men. While there were no fast fights among the factionists there were disputes that led almost to personal encounters, and it seemed on one or two occasions as if the House was going to turn itself into a crazy mob. Uncle Joe, the most vitally concerned of them all, was apparently the coolest. He never lost his head, and also kept a close guard brake on his temper, which was irritated to the extreme on several occasions. Also his rulings on points made by both insurgents and Democrats never were more impartial and free from bias. He stood like a rock against his enemies and his conduct elicited only words of commendation from both friend and foe. There was a fine old war dance by the insurgents and Democrats when the announcement was made by the Speaker that the Norris resolution had been adopted. The insurgents whooped with joy, the Democrats, many of them, voiced their satisfaction with rebel yells, while the regulars hooted in derision. THE WILDEST SCENE The most impressive scene and also the wildest came, however, when the Burleson resolution was introduced, just after Speaker Cannon had announced that he would entertain a resolution declaring the Speaker's chair vacant. "Mr. Speaker," roared the Texas member, brandishing his resolution above his head and stepping out into the aisle, "I have a motion to vacate the Speaker's chair which I wish to present to the House." The words were hardly int of Burleson's mouth when Shirley of Kentucky, a Democrat, who is lame, limped down the aisle and began to plead with Burleson. He put his arms on Burleson's shoulders and tried to force him back into his seat, shook his finger under the Texan's nose and finally brandished his arms above Burleson's head trying in wild excitement to make him see that he was doing the very thing that the Speaker and the regular Republicans had hoped that somebody on the minority side would be idiotic enough to do. Mr. Shirley punched Burleson in the ribs and waved his arm over toward the Republican side of the chamber. He was evidently trying to demonstrate to Mr. Burleson that only a glance over there was necessary to show how joyously the Republicans received the Democratic proposition. They were grinning like chiehse cats, every one of the old guard, and slapping one another on the back and whispering the good tidings from ear to ear. (Continued on Fifth Page.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1910. The Story of The Resurrection IN the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: And they departed with fear and great joy; disciples word. And as they went to Jesus met them, saying, and held him by the feet. Then said Jesus untell my brethren that they shall they see me. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hall. And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

Last Sunday was a beautiful day, the sun being vertical its rays covered every point on the earth's surface, during half of its diurnal rotation reviving and stimulating all created nature. The vegetable and animal kingdoms were bathed with wholesome warmth to renew its energy for life development; while man being the representative of the system of life in nature in the highest spiritual sphere of mind. On last Sunday throughout christendom received not only warmth, light and heat from the sun to strengthen and rebuild his body physically; but as he pictured in his mind the multitude that greeted our Saviour's entrance into Jerusalem with the song "Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest, etc., and pondered the meaning and blessing of this entrance to mankind his soul revived and his spirit intensified and was stimulated to work harder for the accomplishment of nobler efforts in Christian life than he had accomplished heretofe. The Fifth Street Baptist Church is imbued with a more determined speech for good. We haven't words to express their inclination in this direction. Last Sunday was a grand day with the church. The Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, preached morning and night. He preached two great sermons that day. In the morning sermon after giving wholesome food for thought, he closed by asking all sinners who were present and desired the prayers of the church to stand up. A few stood. Prayer was offered. This is the signal for the opening of revival services at once. At night the day's services were closed with the satisfaction to the church that a brighter day still lies before it. The choir as usual did its part in the services, rendering sweet music, which was pleasing and refreshing. At 9:30 o'clock Supt. B. H. Peyton opened the Sunday School. A fairly good number were present, everything was pleasant and cheerful. Deacon John W. Howard lectured on the lesson. It was fine, instructive and enjoyed by all. Let all come out next Sunday (Easter.) Special program has been arranged. Come early. Be present at 9:30, so as to witness the occasion from start to finish. The B. Y. P. U. is doing great work. It will have a grand meeting Friday night, the Easter spirit is in the department also. Pres. John W. Howard is laboring hard to have everything in good shape. Come out on time at 8 o'clock every Friday night. The prayer services on Wednesday nights are growing spiritually and numerically. Let all attend prayer meeting Wednesday night, and be ready at the beginning. The Pastor has already sounded the call. When on Sunday he asked sinners to stand up, we know what that means. It means he wants a revival and the church doors open every night for sinners to come in and be prayed for. Be out next Wednesday night, so you'll be in the beginning of the great battle for the salvation of souls in this Spring revival. On next Sunday (Easter) special Easter services will be conducted. The Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, will preach morning and night. Morning, subject, "Witnesses of the Resurrection." At 3:30 o'clock, communion services will be held. Let every member take communion on this Sunday evening. The choir has arranged special Easter music, which it will sing Sunday. Come out and have a nice time.

Dixie Theatre, Brook Avenue and Broad Streets was packed Thursday night. March 17th by the colored Knights of Pythias and their friends. The occasion was the showing of the moving pictures of the great K. of P. parade which took place in this city June, 1999. The moving pictures were very fine. The drilling of the Pythian Cadets was a feature and Major Roscoe C. Mitchell and his officers and cadets could be seen going through with their movements very plainly. Then came the parade with Brigalier General John Mitchell, Jr., and his staff mounted: Col. Thomas M. Crump and his staff and Major Wm. A. Robinson and his staff and all the visiting companies, including Colonel Archer Drew and the members of his regiment. Even Lynchburg, Danville and Staunton are represented and all other sections that had representatives in the parade and they may be seen moving. The entertainment was so highly enjoyed that the management has consented to repeat it Thursday and Friday, March 31st, and April 1st, adding new attractions. It is well worth the time to go and see it. Knights of Pythias Anniversary The Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A. and A. will observe their anniversary at the Moore Street Baptist Church, Rev.

THROUGH THE WALL BY CLEVELAND MOFTETT Copyright, 1909, by D. Appleton & Co. HO sat thero7' He pointed to a vacant seat at the long center table. W Heads came together in exe- cted whisper. "Bring me a plan of the tables," he continued, and when this was spread before him, "I will read off the names marked here, and each of you will please answer" In tense silence he called the names, and to each one came a quick "Here" until he said "Kittridge." "All here but M. Kittredge," cried the official. "He was here, and he went out. I must know why he went out; I must know when he went out exactly when. I must know how he acted before he left, what he said. In short, I must know all you can tell me about him." Then began a wearsome questioning of witnesses, not very fruitful, either, for these Americans developed a surprising ignorance touching their fellow countryman and all that concerned him. As to Kittredge's life and personality the result was scarcely more satisfactory. He had appeared in Paris about a year before, just why was not known, and had passed as a good fellow, perhaps a lit the wild and hot headed. A few minutes later the unexpected happened. One of the policemen burst in to say that some one had called for the lady's cloak and bag. "Well!" smapped the commissary. "I was going to arrest him, sir," replied the other eagerly, but." "Will you never learn your busi ness?" stormed Pougeot. "Does Gibe in know this?" "Yes, sir. we just told him." "Bend Joseph here—quick." And to the waiter when he appeared "Tell the woman in the cloakroom to let this young man have the things. Don't let him see that you are suspicious but take a good look at him" "Tex, sir. And then?" "And then nothing. Leave him to Gibellin." A moment later Joseph returned to say that he had absolutely recognized the young man downstairs as the one who had passed him in the corridor. Francis, the head waiter was positive he was the missing banquet guest. In other words, they were facing this remarkable situation that the cloak and leather bag left by the mysterious woman of No. 6 had now been called for by the very man against whom suspicion was rapidly growing—Lloyd Kittredge himself When Kittredge, with clock and bag, stepped into his waiting cab and for the second time on this villainous night started down the Champs Elys secs he was under no illusion as to his personal safety. He knew that he would be followed and presently ar rested. He knew this without even glancing behind him. He had under stood the whispers and searching looks in the hotel. The driver grumbled and cracked his whip, and a moment later, peering back through the front window, he saw his eccentric fare absorbed in examining a white leather bag. He could see him distinctly by the yellow light of his two side mirrors. The young man had opened one of the inner pockets of the bag drawing out a flap of leather under which a name was stamped quite visible in gilt letters. Presently he took out a pocketknife and tried to scrape off the name, but the letters were deeply marked and could not be removed so easily. After a moment's hesitation the young man carefully drew his blade across the base of the flap, severing it from the bag, which he then throw back on the seat, holding the flap in apparent perplexity. As they neared the end of the Rimou Vaudiraut the American opened the door and told the man to turn and drive back. He wanted to have a look at Notre Dame, three full miles away. On the way to Notre Dame, Kittredge changed their direction half a dozen times, acting on accountable life poured, going by zigzag through narrow dark streets instead of by the straight and natural way, so that it was after midnight when they entered the Hine do Clioire Notre Dame, which runs just behind the cathedral, and drew up at a house indicated by the American. Another cat observed by Kittredge drew up behind them. "Tell your friend back there," remarked Kittredge to his driver as he put out, "that I have important business here. They'll be plenty of time for him to get a drink." He disp- peared in the house leaving the closet and bag in the car. And now two important things happened one of them unexpected. The expected thing gas that M Gibellin came forward immediately from the second cab. followed by Papa Tignol and a policeman. The shadowing detective was in a vile hunter, which was not improved when he got the message left by the flippant American Gibellin turned to Kittedge's driver. "Here's your fare. You can go I'm from headquarters. I have a warrant for this man's arrest." Meantime Kittedge had climbed the four flights of stairs leading to the sacristan's modest apartment. And in order to explain how he happened to be making so untimely a visit it is necessary to go back several hours to a previous visit here that the young American had already made on this momentous evening. After leaving the Ansonia banquet at about 9 o'clock in the singular man noted by the big clockkeeper Kitt tredege in accordance with his promise to Alice had driven directly to the Rue du Cloître Notre Dame and at twenty minutes past 9 by the clock in the Tavern of the Rose Wine Men he had drawn up at the house where the Bonnetton Brew. I was minutes after the young man was seated in the sacristan a little so as to assist A. that he didn't mind the run that the banquet was a long walk and that he hoped she was going to prove herself a sensible and reasonable little girl. Alice welcomed her very eagerly. Alice had never seemed so adamant. Then came a sudden and omnious entrance of Mother Bonnetton. She eyed the visitor with frank unfriendless and proceeded to tell him that his attentions to Alice must cease and that his visits here would henceforth be unwelcome. In vain the year girl protested against this breach of hospitality Mother Bunton held her ground grimly, declaring that she had a duty to perform and would perform it "What duty?" asked the American "A duty to M Greener" At this name Alice started apprehensively Kittredge knew that she had a cousin named Greener a woodcarver, who lived in Belgium and who came to Paris occasionally to see her and to get orders for his work "The last time M Greener was here" that's about a month ago, the woman said—he asked me and my husband to make inquiries about you and see what we could find out. And we found out things—well just few" "What things?" "We have found out, my pretty sir, that you lived for months last year by gambling I suppose you will deny it" "No," answered Kittredge in a low tone: "It's true." "Ah! We found also that the money you made by gambling you spent with a brazen creature who"— "Stip!" interrupted the American and, turning to the girl, he said, "Alice, I didn't mean to go into these details I didn't see the need of it but"— "I don't want to know the details," she interrupted "I know you Lloyd That is enough" She looked him in the eye trusting ly, and he blinked a little "Pucky!" he murmured "They're trying to queer me, and maybe they will, but I'm not going to lie about it. Listen. I came to Paris a year age on account of a certain person I thought I loved her and I made a fool of myself I gave up a good position in New York, and after I had been here awhile I went broke. So I gambled it's pretty bad I don't defend myself, only there's one thing I want you to know This person was not a low woman. She was a lady." "Huh!" grunted Mother Brompton "A lady! The kind of anybody who dines alone with gay young gentlemen in private rooms' Aha we have the facts!" The young man's eyes kindled. No matter where she dined, I any she was a lady, and the proof of it is I—I wanted her to get a divorce and marry me." "Obi" winced Alice. "You see what he is," triumphed the sacristan's wife—"running after a married woman." But Kidfedge went on doggedly. "You've got to hear the rest now. One day something happened that made me realize what an idiot I had been. So at last I decided to break away, and I did. It wasn't exactly a path of roses for me those weeks, but I stick to it, because because I had some one to help me," he paused and looked tenderly at Alice—"and well, I cut the whole thing out, gambling and all. That was six months ago." "And the lady!" secreated Mother Donneton. "Do you mean to tell us you haven't had anything to do with her for six months?" "I haven't even seen her," he declared, "for more than six months." "A little story!" Besides, what we know is enough. "I shall write Ms. Donneton tonight and tell him the facts, Matrissa!" — she rose and pointed to "Well," said he, facing Alice with a discouraged gesture, "I-I'd like to know why you turned me down this afternoon." He was actually moving toward the door when the bell in the hall tinkled sharply. Mother Bonneton answered the call and returned a moment later, followed by the doorkeeper from below, a cheery little woman, who busted in, carrying a note. "It's for the gentleman," she explained, "from a lady waiting in a carriage. It's very important." With this she delivered a note to Kittredge and added in an exultant whisper to the sacristan's wife that the lady had given her a franc for her trouble. "What kind of a lady?" chuckled Mother Bonneton. "Oh very swell," replied the doorkeeper mysteriously—"grand toilet, bare shoulders and no hat. I should think she'd take cold." "Poor thing!" feemed the other. Kittredge stood as if in a daze, starring at the note. He read it, then read it again. Then he crumpled it in his hand, muttering, "O God!" And his face was white. "Goodbye!" he said to Alice in extreme agitation. "I don't know what you think of this. I can't stop to explain. I - I must go at once." And, taking up his hat and cane, he started away. She went to him swiftly and laid a hand on his arm. "Lloyd, you must come back. You must come back to tonight. It is the last thing I'll ever ask you. You must never see me again, but - you must come back tonight." She stood transformed as she spoke, not pleading, but commanding and beautiful beyond words. "It may be very late," he stammered. "I'll wait until you come," she said simply. "no matter what time. I'll wait. But you'll surely come, Lloyd?" He hesitated a moment and then before the power of her eyes, "I'll surely come" he proclaimed. And a moment later he was gone. Then the hours passed, and still Alice waited for her lower, silencing Mother Bonneton's grumblings with a look that this hard old woman had once or twice seen in the girl's face and had learned to respect. At half past 12 a carriage sounded in the quiet street then a quick step on the stairs. Littredge had kept his word, and there was something in the American's face, something half reckless, half appealing that startled her "Well, I'm here," said Littredge, with a queer little smile. "I couldn't come any sooner and I can't stay." The girl questioned him with frightened eyes. "Isn't it over yet?" He looked at her sharply. "I don't know what you mean by it"; but as a matter of fact, it hasn't begun yet." Alice turned and said quietly, "Was the woman who came in the carriage the woman told us about?" "YEs." While they were talking Mother Bonneton had gone to the window at TAMPA "HEY CHAROKE WITH MURDER." tracted by sounds from below, and as she paused down her face showed surprise and then intense excitement. "Kind salute!" she muttered. "The courtyard is full of policemen." An impatient hand sounded at the door, while a harrison voice called out those terrifying words, "Open in the maja of the law!" With a mingling of alarm and satisfaction Mother Bonneton obeyed the summons, and a moment, later as she unhatched the door a fat man with a bristling, red, mustache and keen eyes pushed forward into the room where the laver were waiting. Two bully poofedding followed him. "Ah! examined GIBBlin, with a grip of ruler as his eye fell on Kib- lah." trouble. Then producing a paper he said: "I'm from headquarters. I'm looking for it." He studied the writing in preparation. "You are, Mr. Lo-sat Keetrode?" "Yes, sir." "I have a warrant for your arrest." But Alice, eager forward, "Why do you arrest him?" The man from headquarters answered shrigging his shoulders: "I don't know what he's done. He's charged with murder." CHAPTER V. OOQUILK GETS IN THE GAME. T was a long night at the Ansonia and a hard night for M. Grita. France is a land of in- kings and trees, where even quite red tape, where even such a simple thing as getting born or getting married leads to endless formalities. Judge, then, of the complicated procedure involved in so serious a matter as getting murdered, especially in a fashionable restaurant! Long before the commissary had finished his report there arrived no less a person than M. Simon, the chief of police, round faced and affable, a brisk, dapper man, whose ready smile had led more than one trusting criminal into regretted confidences. And a little later came M. Hauleyne, the judge in charge of the case, a cold, severe figure, handsome in his younger days, but soured, it was said, by social disappointments and ill health. He was in evening dress, having been summoned posthaste from the theater. The officials discussed the case with a wide variance in opinions and conclusions. The chief of police and M Ponggeot were strong in the theory of murder, while M Hauteville teamed toward suicide. The doctor was undecided. But the shot was fired at the closest possible range," insisted the judge. "The platoid was not a foot from the man's head. How else account for the facts? Martinez was a strong, active man. He would never have allowed a murderer to get so close to him without a struggle. But there is not the slightest sign of a struggle, no disorder in the room, no disarrangement of the man's clothing. It's evidently suicide." "If it's suicide," objected Ponggeot, "where is the weapon? The man died instantly, didn't he, doctor?" "Undoubtedly," agreed the doctor. "Then the pistol must have fallen beside him or remained in his hand. Well, where is it?" "Ask the woman who was here How do you know she didn't take it?" "Nonsense!" pur in the chief. "Why should she take it? To throw suspicion on herself? Besides, I will show you another reason why it's not suicide. The man was shot through the right eye. The ball went in straight and clean, tearing its way to the brain. Well, in the whole history of suicide there is not one case where a man has shot himself in the eye. Did you ever hear of such a case, doctor?" "Never," answered Joubert. "A man will shoot himself in the mouth, in the temple, in the heart, anywhere, but not in the eye. There would be an unconquerable shrinking from that. So I say it's murder." The judge shook his head. "And the murderer!" "Ah, that's another question. We must find the woman. And we must understand the role of this American." "No woman ever fired that shot or planned this crime," declared the commissary, unconsciously echoing Coquennil's opinion. "There's better reason to argue that the American never did it," retorted the judge. "What reason?" "The woman ran away, didn't she? And the American didn't. If he had killed this man do you think anything would have brought him back here for that cloak and bag?" "A good point," nodded the chief. "Ah, yes; she knows," reflected the commissary "And, gentlemen, all our talk brings us back to this—we must find that woman." At half past 1 Gilbellin appeared to announce the arrest of Kittredge. He had tried vainly to get from the American some claw to the owner of cloak and bag. "I'll see what I can squeeze out of him in the morning," said Hauteville grimly. "You've got your work cut out," snapped the detective. "He's a stubborn devil." In the midst of these perplexities and technicalities a note was brought in for M Pougeot. The commissary glanced at it quickly and then, with a word of excuse, left the room, returning a few minutes later and whispering earnestly to M Simon. "You say ho is here?" exclaimed the latter "I thought he was sailing for"—M Pougeot bent closer and whispered again. "Paul Coquenill" exclaimed the chief. "Why, certainly, ask him to come in." A moment later Coquenill entered, and all rose with cordial greetings—that is, all except Gibelin. "As you know," explained Coquell brieft at the judge, "I resigned from the force two years ago. I need not go into detaile. The point is I now ask to be taken back. That is why I am here." "But, my dear fellow," replied the chief in frank astonishment, "I understood that you had received a magnificent offer with." "Yes, you I have." "With a salary of a hundred then sand France." "It's true, but I have refused it." Simon and Hautville looked at Coquell incredulously. "May I ask why you have refused it?" asked the chief. "Partly for personal reasons, largely because I want to have a hand in this case." Gibelin moved uneasily. "You think this case so interesting?" put in the index. "The most interesting I have ever known," answered the other, and then he added, with all the authority of his fame, graved his "its more than interesting. It's the most important criminal case Paris has known for three years." Ellen Gona Again they stared at him. My dear Couenclin, you sanguinate, objected M. Simon, "After all, we have only the shooting of a billiard player." M. Paul shook his head and replied impressively: "The billiard player was a pawn in the game. He became troublesome and was sacrificed. He is of no importance, but there's a greater game than billiards here with a master player, and I'm going to be in it." "Why do you think it's a great game?" questioned the judge. "Why do I think anything? Why did I think a commonplace pickocket at the Bon Marché was a notorious criminal, wanted by two countries? Why did I think we should find the real clue to that Bordeaux counterfeiting gang in a Pasy winehop? Why did I think it necessary tonight to be on the cab this young American took and not behind it in another cab? He shot a quick glance at Glbellin. "Because a good detective knows certain things before he can prove them and acts on his knowledge. That is what distinguishes him from an ordinary detective." "Mooning me?" challenged Glbellin. "Not at all," replied M. Paul smoothly. "I only say that." "One moment," interrupted M. Silmon. "Do I understand that you were with the driver who took this American away from here tonight?" Coquenil smiled. "I was not with the driver. I was the driver, and I had the honor of receiving 5 francs from my distinguished associate." He bowed mockingly to Gibelin and held up a silver piece. "I shall keep this among my curiosities." "It was a foolish trick, a perfectly useless trick," declared Gibelin, furious. "Perhaps not," answered the other, with aggrivating politeness. "Perhaps it was a rather nice coup leading to very important results." "Huh! What results?" "Yes. What results?" echoed the judge. "Let me ask first," replied Coquenil deliberately, "what you regard as the most important thing to be known in this case just now." "The name of the woman," answered Hauteville promptly. "Then the man who gives you this woman's name and address will render a real service?" "A service?" exclaimed Hauteville. "The whole case rests on this woman." "Come, come!" interrupted the chief. "What are you driving at?" "I have the woman a name and ad dress." exclaimed Couenill "Iimpossible!" they cried "I got them by my own efforts, and I will give them up on my own terms." He spoke with a look of fearless purpose that M Simon well remembered from the old days. "A thousand devil! How did you do it?" cried Simon "I watched the American in the cab as he leaned forward toward the lantern light, and I saw exactly what he was doing. He opened the lady's bag and cut out a leather snap that had her name and address stamped on it." "No." contradicted Gibelin, "there was no name in the bag I examined it myself" "The name was on the underside of the tap," laughed the other, "in gilt letters." Gibelin's heart sank "And you took this flap from the American?" asked M. Simon "No, not! Any violence would have brought my colleague into the thing, for he was behind, and I wanted this knowledge for myself." "What did you do?" pursued the chief. "I let the young man cut the flap into small pieces and drop them one by one as we drove through dark little streets. And I noted where he dropped the pieces. Then I drove back and picked them up—that is, all but two." "Marvelous!" muttered Hauteville. "I had a small searchlight intern to help me. That was one of the things I took from my desk." he added to Pougeot. "And these pieces of leather with the name and address, you have them?" continued the chief "I have them." "With you?" "Yes." "May I see them?" "Certainly. If you will promise to respect them as my personal property?" Simon hesitated "You mean"—He frowned and then said impatiently "Oh, yes, I promise that." Coquennil drew an envelope from his breast pocket and from it he took a number of white leather fragments. And he showed the chief that most of these fragments were stamped in gold letters or parts of letters. "I'm satisfied," declared Simon after examining several of the fragments and returning them. "Bon Dieu" he stormed at Gibellin. "And you had that bag in your hands!" Gibellin sat silent. This was the wretchedest moment in his career. "Well," continued the chief, "we must have these pieces of leather. What are your terms?" "I told you," said Coquenil, "I want to be put back on the force. I want to handle this case." M. Simon thought a moment. "That ought to be easily arranged. I will see the prefet do police about it in the morning." But the other demurred. "I ask you to see him tonight. It's ten minutes to his house in an automobile. I'll wait here." The chief amiled. "You're in a hurry, aren't you? Well, so are we. Will you come with me, Hauteville?" "Yes." In less than an hour the men returned with good news for the great detective. "The prefet was extremely nice," said M. Hauteville. "He took our view at once." "Then my commission is signed?" "Precisely," answered the chief. "You are one of us again, and—I'm glad." "Thank you, both of you," said M. Paul with a quiver of emotion. IGHT across from the Ancona, on the Rue Marbeau, was a little wainship that remained open all night for the accommodation of cab drivers and belonged pedestrians, and to this Coquilani and the commissary now withdraw. Before anything else the detective wished to get from M. Pouget his impressions of the case. And he asked Papa Tignol to come with them for a fortting glass. They analyzed the known facts carefully. Suddenly Coquilani stopped talking abruptly to look at a comical little man with a large mouth, the owner of the place, who had been hovering about for some moments as if anxious to say something. "What is it, my friend?" asked Coquilani good naturally. At this the proprietor coughed in embarrassment and motioned to a prim, thin faced woman in the front room, who came forward with fidgety shyness, begging the gentlemen to forgive her if she had done wrong, but there was something on her conscience, and she couldn't sleep without telling it. "Well?' broke in Pougoot impatiently, but Coquell gave the woman a reassuring look, and she went on to explain that she was a spinister living in a little attic room of the next house overlooking the Rue Marboeuf. She worked as a seamstress all day in a hot, crowded atelier, and when she came home at night she loved to go out on her balcony. She would stand there and brush her hair while she watched the sunset deepen and the swallows circle over the chimney tops. "But, my dear woman," smiled Coquenil, "what has that to do with me? I have very little hair and no time to brush it." The seamstress begged his pardon. The point was that on the previous evening, just as she had nearly finished brushing her hair, she suddenly heard a sound like a pistol shot from across the street, and, looking down, she saw a glittering object thrown from a window. She saw it distinctly and watched where it fell beyond the high wall that separated the Ansona hotel from an adjoining courtyard. She had not thought much about it at the moment, but, having heard that something dreadful had happened— Coquenil could contain himself no longer, and, taking the woman's arm, he hurried her to the door. "Now," he said, "show me just where you saw this glittering object thrown over the wall." "There," she replied, pointing, "it lies to the left of that, heavy doorway on the courtyard stones. I could see it from my balcony." "Walt!" and, speaking to Tignol in a low tone, M Paul gave him quick T. W. "IT LIES TO THE LIGHT OF THAT HEAVY DOORWAY." instructions, whoroupon the old man hurried across the street and pulled the bell at the doorway indicated. "Did you happen to see the person who threw this thing?" continued M. Paul gehly. "No, but I saw his arm." Coquennel gave a start of satisfaction. "His arm! Then a man threw it." "Oh, yes; I saw his black coat sleeve and his white cuff quite plainly." "Do you remember the window from which he threw this object?" The detective looked at her anxiously. "Yes, indeed; it is easy to remember. It's the end window on the first floor of the hotel. There!" Coquennel felt a thrill of excitement, for, unless he had misunderstood the commissary's diagram, the seamstress was pointing not to private room No. 6 but to private room No. 71 "Lucien," he called, and, taking his friend aside, he asked, "Does that end window on the first floor belong to No. 6 or No. 77" "No. 7." "And the window next to it?" "No. 6." "Thank you! Just a moment," and he rejoined the seamscrease. "But one point is not quite clear," he said. "Just look across again. You see two open windows—the end window and the gree next to it. It isn't possible that this bright thing was thrown from the window next to the end one?" "No, not." "They are both alike and, both being open, one might easily make a mistake." She shook her head positively. "I have made, no mistake; it was the end widow." Just then Coqueni heard the click of the door opposite and, looking over, he saw Papa Tignol beckoning to him. "Excuse me," he said and hurried "You remember what I told goof." The old man looked hurt. "Of course I did. I haven't touched it. Nothing could take me to touch it." **Kathi Coquardi** rubbed the **seamstress**. "Thank you, my good woman," he said. "Now go right ahead, in your room and don't leave the awn of this to any one." A **law moment** later Coquardi and the commissioner and Paine Signal were standing in the convoy near two green trees of foliage plants between which the pistol had fallen. The doorkeeper of the house had listened them. "Here here!" said the detective, addressing him, "do you want to earn 5 francs?" The doorkeeper brightened. "I'll make it 10," continued the other, "if you do exactly what I say. You are to take a cab—hive is the money—and drive to Notre Dame. At the right of the church is a high iron rallying around the archbishop's house. In the rallying is an iron gate with a night bell for extreme junction. Ring this bell and ask to see the sacristan Bonneton, and when he comes out give him this." Coquillel wrote hastily on a card. "It's an order to let you have a dog named Caesar—my dog, he's guarding the church with Bonneton. Pat Caesar and tell him he's going to see M. Paul—that's me. Toil him to jump in the cab and keep still. He'll understand—he knows more than most men. Then drive back here as quick as you can." Coquenil began at once with questions to M. Gritz about private room No. 7. Who had reserved this room and what had prevented the person from occupying it? M. Gritz replied that No. 7 had been engaged some days before by an old client who, at the last moment, had sent a petit bleu to say that he had changed his plains and would not require the room. The petit bleu did not arrive until after the crime was discovered, so the room remained empty. More than that, the door was locked—locked on the outside, with the key in the lock. "Then any one coming along the corridor might have turned the key and entered No 77." "It is possible," admitted M. Gritz, "but very improbable. The room was dark, and an ordinary person seeing a door locked and a room dark"— "We are not talking about an ordi- nary person," retorted the detective. "We are talking about a murderer Come; we must look into this," and he led the way down the corridor, nodding to the policeman outside No. 6 and stopping at the next door, the last in the line, the door to No. 7 "You know I haven't been in there yet." He glanced toward the adjoining room of the tragedy, then, turning the key in No. 7, he tried to open the door "Hello! It's locked on the inside tool" "Tiehs! You're right," said Grifz as he rumpled his scanty locks in perplexity. "Some one has been inside—some one may be inside now." The proprietor shook his head and rather reluctantly went on to explain that No. 7 was different from the other private rooms in this - that it had a separate exit with separate stairs leading to an alleyway between the hotel and a wall surrounding it. The alleyway led to a gate in the wall opening on the Rue Marbœuf As Coquilleil listened his mouth drew into an omnious thin line and his deep eyes burned angrily. "M Gritz," he said in a cold, cutting voice, "you are a man of intelligence; you must be. This crime was committed last night about 9 o'clock; it is now half past 3 in the morning. Will you please tell me how it happens that this fact of vital importance has been concealed from the police for over six hours?" "Why," stammered the other, "I-I don't know." "Are you trying to shield some one? Who is this man that engaged No. 77? Grits shook his head unhappily. "I don't know his name. We have to be discreet in these matters." "But what do you call him?" persisted Qoqunit. "You must call him something." "In speaking of him we call him the tall blond." He has been here several times with a woman he calls Anita." The detective shrugged his shoulders. "Some one has been here and locked this door on the inside. I want it opened." "Just a moment." trembled Grits. "I have a pass key to the alleyway door. We'll go around." They left the hotel by the main entrance and were just going around into Blue Marlouef when the concerge from across the way met them with word that Caesar had arrived. "He's my dog Ph. h-ee! Ph-eh- Ah, here he is!" and cut of the shadows the splendid animal came bounding. They had entered the courtyard now, and Coquenil led Caesar to the spot where the weapon lay still undisturbed. "Cherchel!" he ordered, and the dog nosed the platoi with concentrated of fort. Then alently, anxiously, one would say, he darted away, circling the courtyard back and forth, sniffing the ground as he went, passing occasionally or retracing his steps and presently stopping before M. Paul with a little bark of disappointment. "Nothing, eh? Quite right. Give me the platoi, Papa Tigriol. Well try outside. There!" He pointed to the open door where the concluree was waiting. "Now, then, cherchel!" In an in-unt Caesar was out in the Rue. Marborent, circling again and again in larger and larger arcs, as he had been taught. "It's a hard test," muttered Coquenil. "Bootmite and weapons have lain for hours in a deschling rain, but—Ah!" Cassar had stopped with a little whino and, was half crutching at the edge of the sidewalk, head low, eyes barely forward, body quivering, with excitement. "He's found something!" The dog turned with quick, joyous bark. "He's got the scent. Now watch him, and shasply he gave the word, 'Yay!' Straight across the pavement dared Cassar, then along the opposite sidewalk away from the Chantara Blyss, running easily, nose down past the Bush Francis, Fischer, past the Rush ei eR cae coin SR aa Ra SaaS eRe eee Be oe S ” Viger ene recite \autef es SOR, SATURDAY......MAHOH 26, 1910 = Cleoment-Mart. thes out into the street @guin and wtopplog suddeoly, ‘{Dhore's where your murderer picked ‘ap a cab," sald the detective. “It's perfoctly clear.

SATURDAY.....MARCH 20, 1010 When Gov. Brown of Georgia openly snubbed Commander Robert E. Pearcy and declared him to be a fakir, he violated one of the most cherished customs known in the Southland, that of uniform courtesy to the stranger within one's gates. It seems to us that the ordinary rules of politeness would have precluded the idea of such a needless insult. Whether Mr Pearcy is a fakir or not will depend upon the testimony of a higher authority than Gov Brown it seems that one's personal feelings should be subordinate to the ordinary rules of polite society. The supporters of Dr. Cook, who has been discredited can hardly help themselves or their cause by belltelling Commander Peary His past record as an explorer should certainly protect him from insult. When the bureau under whose auspices he is lecturing cancelled all engagements for him in the Southland, it did a wise thing and by this method administered a zebukk all the more telling and emphatic from the fact that it was not accompanied by any language that could be construed as an insult even to Gov. Brown, who to our mind has most egregiously blundered THE UPRISING IN THE HOUSE. The uprising in the House of Rup resentatives against the regular organization of the Republican Party is but the logical outcome of the action of the present Republican administration. When a Republican President not only solicits a 'dyded in the wool' Democrat for a place in his cabinet and does not require him to even remove his political accountments of war, and then names a Democrat to a circuit judgeship and follows this up by the appointing of a 'rock-ribbed' Democrat to the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, it gives other members of the party the same privilege. There do no ground for the expulsion of the Insurgents from the caucus of the Republican Party. They have the example of both President Taft and his predecessor in office for doing just this thing. It gives colored men the same right. They can vote for Democrats or for Republicans, just as they object, without disturbing their standing in the Republican Party. We are in this movement the disintegration of not only the Republican Party, but of the Democrat Party as well. The members of the latter organization are similarly affected. All things considered, the issue of Gannonism is removed from the political equation, but the enemies of the "Old Roman" will not have it so. They are responsible for political advantage and all of the old time arduor that they displayed when they were hailing the original article. There is something, stirring in the willfulness of this distinguished citizen of Illinois. He stands for principles of the past, but the surging ways of modern day politics are sweeping over him and there is but little doubt that they will carry him into oblivion, where other great men have gone on before. Speaker Cannon is today an hundred-fold stronger with his friends, if such a thing is possible than no was before. His enemies secretly admire him, but they will not hesitate if opportunity offers it so that they can do it in safety to shatter his sturdy old frame and drive him into the tomb. Speaker Cannon will be vindicated in his district and in his state, but on the issues before the country there is much doubt as to his triumph. For our part, we have always admired him and we believe now that his only misfortune has been to stay too long at the helm. He told the truth when he declared that he was not guilty of any political wrong. The outlook is gloomy for Republicanism or for that spurious imitation of the genuine article that now passes under that name. We believe that the air will be clarified in the next election and even should the Republicans lose in the congressional contests—the will come together and no doubt be in time to win an overwhelming victory when the next presidential contest takes place. PECULIAR TALK. We do not care to give much credence to the average newspaper announcement, but a reader sends us an extract from the Washington Star of the 8th inst. Here it is: Secretary Dickinson believes the best solution of the so-called negro problem is the enfoque elimination of the race in the institution, and he has in several recent public addresses, the significance of his utterances on the subject lies in the generally accepted impression that they represent the sentiments of the present administration on that much-discussed question. At any rate, it is known that Secretary Dickinson was charged with a study of the agro question with a view to assisting in the consideration of official questions, especially in the south, involving the racial issue in any phase As the Negro is already out of politics in the South as far as we are able to see we come to the conclusion that Secretary Dickinson's reference was to the Negro in the North. We are not prepared to say that he speaks for the administration upon this or upon any other political question, for he is a Democrat and President Tatt is a Republican Still his remarks are interesting and there are many colored Republicans in the doubtful states who will sit up late at night in an effort to arrive at the true solution of this attitude of one of the most prominent members of a Republican President's cabinet.

TAPT COMMUNITY KINGDOM TO SOUTH COUNTRY, contains numerous of museums, the prosperity Will Serra Great Problem, partly of the South, means to have Disease, Queen Fawn to Receive Ocean Opens, the development of the ocean educational program, and from the idea President Taft sang the praises of velopment of the educational system. Half an hour before he was to Dixie and declared the South, with any work done the most difficult have been placed in the death chair, its growing prosperity, is better able problem to solve, at the penultary yesterday morning, to know little of the problem, as There will always be difficulty but, honey Smith, colored bouquet, a meeting of prominent educators with the education of the poor white artist of Chicago, in Alameda, more gathered to discuss, the uplift of we shall eliminate an element that than, year ago was presented by the negro at the residence of Miag feels naturally bottle to the Negro Superintendent, Wood with a paper Mabel Boardman, 1801 P Street, last and shall make them more useful to Governor Mann, respelling him night. He said the salvation of the black man must come, through the intelligent handling of Southerners, rather than through the charity of the North. Philanthropy, he said, at least by influence, should be directed toward educating those who are to be the leaders of the negro race. He said that the South must fall upon those who pay the taxes of the South. It must come, therefore, from the prosperity of the South itself, and the increase which the statistics show with reference to the increase of the wealth of the South is the most encouraging fact in the whole situation, for we can be reasonably sure that with increase in wealth and increase in that spirit of the South, we can increase of the leading whites in the development of the negro, that in the course of three decades the question will be well nigh solved." SEGREGATION IS ESSENTIAL Every speaker touched on the growing segregation of the races. It was predicted that with the development of the negro the race will become naturally segregated, each with its own institutions independent of the other. Nelson Page presided, in Dr. J. Burke Frisell, president of the Hampton Institute; President Mitchull, of the University or South Carolina, and Dr. J. H. Dillard, formerly of Tulane University, and now in charge of the rural colored school fund of the South Carolina. He was interested in the race problem listened. President Taft arrived at the Boardman home at 8:30 and by his request was not called upon to speak until several of the other addresses had been board. He remained until 11 o'clock, when Mrs. and Miss Boardman held an informal recop The President said, in part: EXAMPLE IN THE PHILIPPINES. Charged with the responsibility of educating the children in the Philippines, I was forced into a very earnest consideration of the problems of education in the United States. The truth is that providence works its ways curiously. We had to the problem of the Negro and Indian, and Gen Armstrong to teach us some of the most important lessons in the education of the whole race I heard President Eliot, certainly the foremost educator of this country, say that Gen Armstrong had solved, by his trial training, the problem of education in this country, and that he had first illustrated it in a marked way at Hampton Institute. In the Philippines, we first attempted primary education, and then industrial education, and we are working along that way there now. We have an industrial school in every province. We encountered somewhat different students there, and then in the education of the Negro or the poor white in the South. We have offered to the young, Filipinos an opportunity to become machinists and electricians, and to pursue other trades, and the difficulty we had was that they preferred to be what were called escribientes or clorks at $10 a month than to be what were called electricians or the reason that escribientes were caballeros, or gontlemen, and electricians were only laborers. Returning to this country, however and filled with interest in the matter of industrial education, I accepted over opportunity that was offered to look into the matters of the Negro and I soon found what has been stated here most emphatically by those who know a great deal better than I do that the education of the Negro in the South is necessarily involved with the education of the white. The truth is that Gen Armstrong and Booker T. Washington have done as much for the education of the whites in the South as they have done for the education of the Negro in showing the way by which must whites of the South must be educated. There are two things, it seems to me, moving in the South that are going to solve the so-called Negro question and solve the difficulties that we have there. The first is the developing interest of the best class of the Southborns in the education of the Negro and the consciousness on the part of the best class of Southborns in the help of the South so much as the industrial education of the Negro and his elevation in that way, and, second, what is equally important, the increase in the wealth of the South. To one who has had any experience in running a government it is money that is important. You can run a government economically if you don't accomplish anything with the government, and some of our critics in the Philippines, some of the critics in the present government, or who have has left her hand, can point to a much more economical government that preceded the American government than the one that now exists. But the reason is that our predecessors did not do anything with the government. They did not expand any money for health, and they did not expend any money for education. Education is expensive. The South has a hard time to support their State governments and to have any sort of education at all. After the war they were left in a condition which prevented a thorough general system of education and so ignorance-prevalent, which nothing but the result of taxes and productive taxes could remove. Now in the last two centuries, the system is prosperous and good. There will always be difficulty but with the education or the poor whiteness we shall eliminate an element that feels naturally bottleneck to the Negro, and shall make them more useful citizens, and make the industrial education of the Negro we shall enable him to show what he certainly will become. If industrialized, educated, one of the South can have in the development of all our magnificent resources. Now, occasionally in the discussion of Negro education, reference is made with some context—or, at least, with a spirit of deprecating it—to a general collegiate education for Negroes. Certainly, if that education was not for money, money were wasted—that is, if there were millions expended in that—one might well raise his voice in protest against the use or money for academic education that ought to be put in industrial education. But if you will look into the foundations of Negro colleges in this country, as I have mentioned, you will find resources of those so-called Negro universities that give a general education and that prepare physicians and lawyers and clergymen, you will find that there is not the slightest danger of any waste, for the amount that is now, expended is not near enough to all the educated clergymen, and all the educated teachers that are needed to lead the race. When the proportion of the money expended for that kind of education becomes so great as to call for protest we shall doublebess be able to turn it into a reality. We must present it think any money that goes in that direction goes in the right direction, because it can only affect a very small proportion of the colored race and not too great a proportion to make leaders and the necessities more important than there ought to be in the aggregation of the races. NEED INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. President Mitchell said the fundamentals of Negro education should be industrial, and pointed to the Hampton and Tuskegee schools as examples of the efficiency of manual training, rather than a liberal education. He declared the spirit of nationalism is surging through Dixie, and that the educational departures of the Federae government is responsible for the awakening. President Finley said knowledge of Greek roots does not help a Negro to dig potatoes correctly, and gave some statistics tending to show that the average Negro is deficient in will power, indolent, and improvident. His conclusion was that the race should be educated carefully, along industrial lines. He, too, paid attention to the South, claring that can be trusted to bring about he proper solution of the problem. "Some of us have been inclined to criticize Booker Washington," said Dr. Frissell, of Hampton, "but we must realize now that what he has done alone would amply excuse the institution." Dr. Frissell described the Hampton schools and the results accomplished. Dr. Dillard gave an account of the grade schools for the Negro throughout the "Black Bolt," and entered a plan for more patience in judging the students, given a chance, which the South is ready to admit—Washington Herald > Church and Social Gossips.

The reprieve was handed Superintendent Wood, Thursday night, with instructions from the Governor that the convicted man should not be told, if it until shortly before the death sentence should be carried out, with the hope that, under this prescience, the man would be pardoned. Besides the superintendent, only one of the guards knew of it, and there was no possibility of the negro knowing of the Governor's action until the paper was read to him. PROTEST8 H18 INNOCENCE. It was a severe ordeal, the near-earthing to the mythical "third degree," perhaps, that is practiced today for the purpose of making men give up their itchiness. The nage passed through it all with a display of nerve rarely seen. When the officers came to his cell, he thought they were there to take him to the chair, He was asked if he had anything to say. He replied that he was innocent and Eugene Dorssey, the man. He also expressed the hope that Richard Pines, Calvin Johnson and Eugene Dorssey, also sentenced for the same crime, would be freed. While thankful for the respite, he did not show the slightest emotion. Superintendent Wood said last night that he and the guard who accompanied him to the cell were vastly more moved over the incident than the man himself. The jury summoned to witness the execution went through the courtroom, so the jury tested their seals, so the jury tested and other preliminaries, only to be dismissed by the superintendent.—Richmond, Va.

WILL NOT WORK WITH A NEGRO Fifteen Sawyers at Miller Manu facturing Company on 0 strike Resulting the action of the foreman of the shop in placing a negro sawyer at work and refusing to work alongside him, every white sawyer employed at the plant of the Miller Manufacturing Company at Seventh and Stockton Streets, Manchester, this morning went on strike and walked out. The negro had been working as a laborer around the plant and this morning was put to work on one ofaws by Foreman Fleugh Garrett. Immediately the fifteen white sawyers in the plant, which is a large one, employing about 300 men in different departments, hold a consultation and decided to make a protest. The men appeared before the foreman in a body and requested that the negro be taken off the saw. The foreman replied that he had no intention of taking the negro off the saw themed on that they had no work with the negro. The foreman could not be moved from his position and the men walked out. No disorder accompanied the walk-out and none of the other departments of the factory are affected. The striking sawyers declare that they will not work with the negro and that they will stand together on this and any other dispute that might arise out of their action of this morning. Officials of the company discussing the action of the sawyers said they had no intention of making any contribution to the men. No trouble is anticipated in any other section of the plant and everything went on as usual after the walkout occurred. "I think these men wanted a vacation, was the jocular explanation made at the company's office when a statement was called for. It has been said that in any department we saw fit," said a representative of the concern, "and we know of no special grievance that caused the men to quit today. The colored man who caused the disease will be kept in our employ." A DISTINGUISHED LECTURES COMING. The services of Prof. H. T. Kealing, A. M. of Nashville, Tenn., editor of the A. M. E.

He shook the Kentuckian off, waved his arms defensively to scatter the score or more of Democrats who had crowded around him to endeavor to induce him to withdraw his motion to vacate the chair and continued the motion and for action on his propositions. Shirley, white lipped and earnest, hobbled down into the well of the House, waived the uproar he contended that Burleson's motion to fire the Speaker was out of order inasmuch as a motion to adjourn, made by Norris, was pending. In his concession, supported by most of the insurgents. Finally, after a lot of argument, Speaker Cannon ruled that although he would be happy to entertain the Burleson motion to relieve him of his job, on precedent and practice, that the motion to adjourn was before the House and had to be acted upon. It was with a joyous abandon, far different from the feeling they had displayed earlier in the day, when defeat after defeat had been their portion, that the regulars voted down the proposition to adjourn. A demand for the yeas and nays was finally refused. INSURGENTS IN A FIX It was mighty apparent by this time that the insurgents appreciated the beautiful fix they were in. If they stood by their violent criticisms on the Cannon and voted accordingly, they made a mistake, and hides within the next hour or so, to elect a Democratic Speaker of a Republican House. On the other hand if the insurgents declined to support the Burmese motion and voted to rejoin the insurgents, they would put in the unavoidable position of being inconsistent and two faced. --- "Start up the music, let the dance go on!" eried Chairman Tawnyof the Appropriations Committee in an exceedingly unparliamentary tone. And the dance wont on Mr. Burleson, who had never paused for a moment in his arm waving, document brandishing performance, got the eye or the Chair again and in a flash his resolution had been carried. The desk and all over the House continued to shout at him to sit down and shut up Mr. Burleson, paying no attention, demanded the previous question to choke off all obstate. He got it. Republican regulars and snorting Democrats jumped to their feet all over the House. Again the insurgents were noticeable from the fact that they remained in their chairs, apparently afflicted with acute malancholia. No record vote was demanded on this proposition, as it was morally a preliminary to the main question whether the Agusche guard there do repose the Speaker. Without another word on either side Mr. Burleson demanded a yea and may vote on the resolution itself and again the solid strength of the body, excepting only the insurgents, backed him up. ACUTE INTEREST IN THE VOTE The vote was on. The ante interest in it may be understood from the fact that a majority of the members on both sides had official roll calls in front of them and checked off the for all against votes as the right name. Of course what they wanted to know was how the insurgents were going to vote—whether they split all to pieces on this might tickle question or—whether they would vote solidly one way or the other. The first insurgent named on the list was Representative Cary of Wisconsin, a short, fat, red faced gentleman, who has been trying to raiseided with the local gas light company and who prides himself on the fact that his knifo is out at all hours of the day and night, for all varieties of shapes and colors and all forms and shapes of grinding and oppressive monopoly. "Aye," yelled Gary when his name was called, indicating that he wanted to see Uncle Joe thrown out of the window in a figurative sense. And of course the insurgents and the Dambar heart for the moment and believing that perhaps the whole insurgent strength would be thrown that way. But they did not hold this Idea Jong. As name after name was called it became very apparent that only the most radical of the insurgents were voting to depose Uncle Joe and the "outlaw," band, like Gardner, of Massachusetts, Norris of Nebraska, and others had declined to go as far as this. As each insurgent registrated his vote he was cheered and jeered, depending on whether he stuck by the sledged combination, or whether he turned down the offer, and set down again. If he stuck the Democrats were for him. If he voted against the Burlington motion the regular Republicans welcomed him with loud applause. Mr. Leonard M. Payne, of New York, who when the members started to vote on the proposition to depose Mr. Cannon, and been called in to take the chair, "The journal clerk with a smile on his face is us a Republican appointes and a great, admirer of Mr. Cannon—passed the vole slip up to Mr.-Payne. The Speaker pro tem, adjusted his glasse, "On this vote," he said, as everybody within hearing distance leaned forward to catch the result, "the ayes are 155 and the nose are 191, and the motion is lost." SCENE OF NOI8Y TUMULT. Mr. Payne started to say something else, but what, it was nobody will ever know. "For in a feeling second the old guard was on its feet yelling like mad. One member tossed his hat in the air and when it came down he put his foot in it and laughed like a child. Another grabbed a colleague around the neck and hugged him in a regular frenzy of joy. And the slap as stalked Republicans, old and young, clapped one another on the back sounded like a scream of relief and his laughter. Louder and louder swallowed the tumult and just then two members unfurled a big American flag and marched with it up the centre alley. 'The galleries had' gone crazy too. Among the spectators were the wives, sons and daughters of members who had reason to be vitally interested in the events. They were people from out of town drawn from the cosmopolitan crowd that throngs the national Capitol during sessions of Congress and local residents by the hundreds. No cognition cheering records were broken, but it is came from an equal number of throats. CANNON RECEIVES CONGRATU- LATIONS. The House soon adjourned and then came the most interesting scene of the unfit afternoon. The Democrats and the insurgents filed out of the chamber almost immediately, some of them quiet, some of them glum, some of them profane. But the old guard staid behind, and as Speaker of the Chamber he was responsible for the proceedings from a seat on the floor, started out he was surrounded and forced up two steps on the rostrum. There, leaning against one of the marble supports of the Speaker's desk, his mouth, that had been grim for days, relaxed in a smile, he stood to receive the congratulations of his friends. "By the back of the chamber the regulars formed lipo and marched up the centre aisle to the Speaker's desk: "Dear Uncle Joe," was the song they sang to a popular air as they advanced on their old friend, colleague and political chief. Dairkel of Pennsylvania headed the line. As he came up to where the Speaker stood he put out this hand. The Speaker stood two old crones and stood there the two old crones and looked at each other and smiled. "We're a little shot up, John," said the Speaker. "But we're still on top, Joo," said Dairkel. It was like that for half an hour. Tawney of Minnesota and Mr. Cannon hugged each other and everybody in the line had something nice to say to him, and he had something nice to say to him. After the it, was soon Iver. "Dear Uncle Joe," was sung a couple of times more and the old guard, glad that it was all over, happy to have got off so easily, quickly scattered. INSURGENTS WHO VOTED TO DE POSE UNCLE JOE The nine men who voted for Mr. Cannon's disposition as Speaker were all almost pure radicals—Perry, Cooper, Lourouto, of Wisconsin, Nelson Lindburgh and Davis, of Minnesota; Gronna, of North Dakota, Murdock, Harris and Poindexter, of Washington. Many of the insurgents who did not vote against Speaker Cannon have been making redhot speeches against him in their districts. They are in a pretty pickle now and will be able to do so. But they did not slik Uncle Joe out when they had the opportunity. Apparently the reason some of the Democrats objected so strongly to the introduction of the Burleson resolution was that it would distract from the impression that the public would otherwise be able to vote for the Republican forces in the House. Hero are the forty insurgents who voted against the regulars for a change in the Rules Committee.

COMPROMISE CONFERENCE. The crowd began to gather at the Capitol shortly after daylight. The excitement over the great fight in the House of Ropecentalydes has been running high for several days. The official and otherwise, wanted to be present at what they believed would be the culmination of the struggle. The corridors were, jammed with people when the members of the compromises committed from the two arriving armies to the morning, it was realised by both sides that this block conference would represent absolutely the last effort that would be made to teach the militants of the differences and the insignificance of the differences. taken on by the floor of the house to be wounded, he is a machete. The only point involved in the company conference was whether he should be admitted from the 'Osprey' hospital, which Cannon forces realised that his organs controlled the situation and their request that Uncle Joe be spared this humiliation was more. In the nature of a final appeal than as a suggestion. INBURGENTS INSIST ON ELIMI NATING CANNON. The insurgents were willing to accept the regulars' concession of enlarging the Rules Committee from five to ten, instead of six, fifteen, and to have it elected by the House, but the insurgents refused absolutely to into any compromise which did not permit the speaker from the committee. The insurgents on the conference committee were willing to accept a compromise resolution which would postpone the operation of the elimination provision until after Uncle Joe's term had expired, but his propotion was not acceptable to the radical men of Murdock to such men as Murdock of Kansas, to such men as Wisconsin, Polderock of Washington and others. The insurgents were represented at this final compromise conference at Norris of Nebraska, Hayes of California, Gardner of Wisconsin. The Canary of Wisconsin, represented by Tawney of Minnesota, Shultz of Mann of Illinois, Payne of New York and Dalzoll of Pennsylvania. The early morning crowd, always seeking the centre of activity, had gathered down in the corridor at the door of the Ways and Means Committee room, where the conference was being held. The Cannon confences were the first to die out and was apparent from their many murders, which they were to reach an agreement had failed. The insurgents on the other hand omerged from the committee rooh smiling and confident. CANNON TOLD OF HIS DOOM. It was then 11 o'clock. The Cannon conference committee proceeded immediately to the Speaker's room, where they reported to him the result of their efforts. The report amounted practically to the signing of Uncle Joe's political death warrant, but the old man accepted it with a smile and said: "Gentlemen, I am ready to take the old man before the House." The insurgent committee in the meantime had called a conference of the Republican insurgents. They submitted the question there whether the insurgents as a whole would be willing to accept a proposition which would allow Uncle Joe to serve out his form as member of the Rules Committee and then retire. The more radical of the insurgents declined to entertain the suggestion and the threat of being off, when word was sent to the Cannon forces that the fight would be taken up on the floor of the House. It wasn't long after the failure of the compromise effort that Uncle Joe emerged from his committee room. He showed no signs of anxiety and had a cheerful good mood for impatient people who were frightened. By 11 55, the hour set for the reconvening of the House, the galleries of the House and the corridor on that side of the Capitol were crowded. The plaza in front of the Capitol was cluttered with automobiles and even Representatives themselves had moved through the plaza, holding their hands through the well nigh impossible jam inside the building. UNCLE JOE GREETED WITH . APPLAUSE At five minutes of noon practically every Representative was in his seat and members and spectators were eagerly awaiting the entry of Speaker Cannon. The appearance of the vetron when he finally appeared in the doorway and stepped toward the rostrum was the signal for a loud outburst of applause from the rostrum. Republicans angrily protested. "For the house," the House was in an apron. Mr. Cannon looked as grim and determined as on the first day of the struggle, when he ruled the disorderly body with an iron hand. Down came the gavel with a bang and he called sharply for order. "The chaplain will offer the daily prayer," said the Speaker in measured tones and silence fell over the chamber. "While the journal of yesterday's proceedings was being read insurrectionary, regulars were scurrying about drawing their lines closer for the coming battle. Several members had corrections to suggest to the record of the twenty-nine hour session that terminated the investigation. The record had had-dy been recorded when Representative Gaines of West Virginia jumped to his foot and moved to the left, where he said that the Republicans might have an opportunity to confer." WOULDN'T ENTERTAIN MOTION TO ADJOURN The Speaker's determination to bring the fight to a conclusion without further dilly-dalping was apparent when he refused to entertain the motion matte by Mr. Gaines. Thereupon Mr. Cannon caused to be reported the Norris resolution providing for a reorganisation of the Rules Committee. It was the introduction of this resolution which brought the fight to a head two days ago. The result was the sacking of the Seeker to deliver his rallion on the point of order made against it by Representative Dallock when the fight had first started. It was under this point of order that the bitter debates of the last two days have been waged. Mr. Norris when he introduced his resolution had contended that it was entitled to consideration as a matter of constitutional privilege. Mr. Dallset's point against it had been that he would be under the rules, and not under constitutional privilege. The Speaker's long devotion raising sustained Dallset's point and press outrage over the war for the Pacific would have been a serious blow to the Constitution. THE FIRST MOVEMENT. The galleries and the members of the floor, received this ruling with a great demonstration. When order had been restored, Mr. Nerra moves an appeal from the district of the district, for recognition. He saved a counter motion, that the Nerra resolution be laid on the table. At that point Representative Glines of West Virginia, a Republican regular, interrupted with a motion for adjournment. The Speaker, and the most of the Republican regulars again showed that they were opposed the inevitable and, by an overwhelming glove vox rose the Glines motion was defeated. The question then required to the Dealzell motion the appeal from the Speaker's decision to the Norris resolution should be laid on the table. The ayes and noses were demanded and the roll call was followed with the closest attention by the House and the galleries. Everybody realized that it would disclose the truth of the matter, and would indicate pretty certainly whether Uncle Joe was to go down to defeat or whether he had succeeded in breaking into the Democratic forces. REGULARS BEATEN,: 181 TO 164. It was apparent early in the roll that the insurgents were standing together in their full strength. As . . . Taylor and Johnson of Ohio deserted the organization there were groans from the regulars and applause on the Democrat side. Because it was certain that her organisation was beaten and that a new deal in the House was about to be declared. Uncle Joe's face during the roll call showed not a single sign or nervousness. Standing erect, with jaws set and the gavel clutched in his hand, he looked the picture of determination. He steadily voice he announced, that the Daisy motion was lost by a vote of 181 to 164. The announcement of the vote was received with shouts of joy by the insurgents and the Democrats, who jumped up from seats, danced, and shouted for the arms frantically. The crowd in the galleries contributed the full share to the uprear. The meantime Uncle Joe had been banging away with his gavel and shouting for order. It was before the mutual had died town. REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED AGAINST CANNON. Trifty three Republican Representatives voted with the solid Democratic representation on the motion. The insurgents had even exceeded their own estimate of their strength by two votes. Those who thus voted against the organization were Ames of Massachusetts, Cooper or Wisconsin, Davidson of Wisconsin, Cary of Wisconsin, Davis of Minnesota, Fish of Wisconsin, Fowler of New Jersey, Gardner of Massachusetts, Good of Iowa, Gronn of North Dakota, Hawne of Iowa, Hayes of California, Hinshaw of Nebraska, Hubbard of Iowa, Howland of Ohio, Johnson of Ohio, Kendall of Iowa, Kopf of Wisconsin Kinkat of Nebraska, Linbergh of Minnesota, Lenroot of Wisconsin, Madison of Kansas, Martin or South Dakota, Miller of Minnesota, Morse of Wisconsin, Mudock of Kansas, Nelson of Wisconsin, Picketts of Iowa, Pointerock of Washington, Steenborn of Minnesota, Taylor of Ohio, Volunteer of Minnesota and Woods of Iowa. The speaker then put the issue: "Shall the ruling of the Chair sustaining the Dallass point of order be the judgment of the House?" On this report Mr. Morris used the vote to be taken. For a second time the insurgents drew blood and there was absolutely no doubt that they were in complete control of the situation. This vote was 182 to 160 showing a gain in point of majority from 160. After this vote the insurgents again showed the regulars under to the tune of 182 to 160 on the question as to whether the ruling of the Chair declaring the Norris resolution out of order should stand as the judgment of the House. The face to face with the issue whether & new Committee on Rules should be organized along the lines suggested in the Norris resolution. This resolution provided in substance for a Committee on Rules to be composed of nine Republicans and six Democrats, the committee to be elected by the House. FACING THE REAL ISSUE It was at this point in the proceedings that the responsible, leadership of the House officially acknowledged that it was no longer in control. Representative Norris, the Republican insurgent, held the floor. It was true, of course, that the presiding officer was friendly to the regulators, but the insurgent-Democratic combination had shown on three votes that it was in command. For the first time within the memory of President Obama, the Committee on Rules and the leader in all Republican fights over the rules was compelled to seek terms with the insurgent leader. An effort was made to reach an agreement for a debate on the merits of the resolution. Representative Norris suggesting that each side have an hour and a half. To this the regulators objected. Representative Rodenberg of Illinois insisting that five hours should be allowed, for each side. The regularity, however, were in the attitude of making the enemies condescend to the opposition of production. The squabble ended, however, without any understanding being reached, and the debate proceeded under the ordinary rules of the House. CHAPTER 11 OPENING THE DEBATE one of the Democratic minority, was their own personal light and their own personal light I am laying my hand on my heart and my that my relations with that displaced person always have been pleasant. This is a gift against the system. It does not make any difference if the system has been sanctioned by time. No other propa- lation, in my mind is pending on us today. I have always believed that the Speaker's position as chair- man of the House on Rates gives him more power than the House ought to have over the destinies of this republic. We need not mince words; this is a revolution." Representative Leontop of Wisconsin, an insurgent urged all Republicans to vote to change the rules and take away the Speaker's power. This was the only means, he said, of serving the Republican party in the campaign about to be begun or of insuring the election of a Republican. Representative Nye of Minnesota, delivered a stirring appeal to the Republicans to stand by the regular organization. "I have not always been in accord with the desires of the Republican party," said he, "nor have I been close to the present Speaker or the House, but for forty years this country has done Joseph G. Cannon honor and now you seek to sacrifice him to make a change," said he. Nye quoted from "Old Iron-sides," urging the Republicans "to set every threadbare, salve and give her to the god of storms," referring of course, to the regular organization. Prolonged applauds greeted his speech. NORRIS RESOLUTION PRESENTED Representative Norris of Nebraska then presented his substitute resolution providing for a reorganization of the Committee on Rules. Representative Martin of South Dakota, wanted to offer a substitute resolution providing that the Speaker should not be eliminated as a member of the Committee on Rules till the end of the present Congress, but Representative Norris would not consent. There was another wrinkle between the regulars and the insurgents as to the amount of time that should be consumed in debate. Representative of Alabama jumped in and said: "The committee this kitchen cabinet, the Committee on Rules, has throttled the desire of the real majority in this House too often." "If this proposed amendment to the rules is adopted," said Representative Underwood of Alabama, the Democratic whip, "wil will have reached an era of parliamentary practice in this body.Speaker Reed in securing the adoption of rules to enable a majority of the House $_{2}$ do business at any time vested more power in the Speaker than any one man should have. There has remained the role. Attor this resolution represents the real leader of the majority party in the House will be the chairman of an enlarged Committee on Rules and not the Speaker." When Victor Murdock, red headed insurgent from Kansas, jumped to his feet to talk for three minutes he was cheered by the Democrats and his fellow insurgents. He predicted Republican defiant in the next campaign unless some change was made. Representative Hayes of California, arose to declare that in giving the Morris resolution his entire acting only from the rules desire to make his procedure what it be. He wanted to go on record as having said that he had received only fair treatment from the Speaker of the House and from the members of the present committee. Representative Olimsted of Pennsylvania tried to obtain permission to submit a substitute resolution which provided for the election of a committee to revise the House resolution to yield and the Olimsted resolution fell by the waysto. Representative Tawney and one or two others of the Cannon forces declared that hey would support the Olimsted resolution if it was brought before the House, obviously was offered for the purpose of offering an opportunity for several of the regulars who live in insurgent sections of the country to put themselves on record as favoring a reorganization of the Rules Committee, to expose the vote which they intended to cast later against the Norris resolution and in support of the Speaker. "The resolution offered by Mr. Norris of Nebraska," declared Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, "is aimed at the speaker of the House, the speaker of the Senate, or by Representative Martin of South Dakota. I do not propose to vote for either of them. The purpose of this movement is to hand the Speaker over to the minority, hand and foot. The present Speaker will go, however, with head erect, the simile of a man who is blinding you. You are doing the blinding of a band of... literary highwaymen who have been able to smirl the reputation of public mon." It was apparent by this time that a good many of the insurgents were seeking to draw attention to the cannon as a personal factor in the fight and the system which he represents. "I dany absolutely," said Representative Norris of Nebraska, "that this effort to amend the rules is intended as a personal slap at the Speaker. We are fighting for a principle. I deny also that this is an anti-Republican attempt, from every vampire, from every dresde of every farm prairies are going up today for the success of this movement." This was too much for the regulars. Jeers and catcalls and shrieks greeted the statement. When this deli- derio Demonstration had died away the Democrat, wishing to show what they thought of Mr. Norris and his statement, applauded and cheered loudly. DANNON HEATEN 141 TO 155 had elapsed and there was a sign of roller, when Representative Norris arrose, and moved the previous question on his substitute resolution. The motion on the previous question was carried by a vote of 178 to 159, only one insurgent, Martin of South Dakota, voting with the organization Republicans. This vote forestshadowed the vote of the House, organization the resolution itself, which was adopted a few minutes later by a vote of 191 to 155. The galleries received the announcement of the vote with a hum of excitement while the insurgents and the Democrats danced around on the floor in joy at this successful conclusion of a fight that has been ongoing for more than a year. The Speaker himself took the vote like a real fighter, so far as it was apparent it made no impression upon him. He pounded away with his gavel in the same old way and shouted for order in a voice that had lost none of its firmness. After the cheers of the allies which followed, the passage of the Norris arrose, and the vote of the House a smile of triumph on his face raised his right hand high above his head and shouted: "Mr. Speaker, I move the House do now adjourn." The Speaker paused a moment, rustling several typewritten sheets in his hands, looked around the chamber and laid down his gavel. Others held his hand. "begs the indulgence of the House for a few remarks." Instantly the uproar which had followed the motion to adjourn died away. Every one realized that the real crisis of the day had been reached. A great majority of the members on the floor believed that the Speaker should move and throw his resignation to the body. In the galleries the spectators leaned forward breathlessly. On the floor the members sought their seats. UNCLE JOE ADDRESSES THE HOUSE. The Speaker looked out over the House, adjusted his steel bowed spectacles and began to read. This is what he said: Gentlemen or the House of Representatives: Actions, not words, deeds, or policies, should be the priority of men in the affairs of life. This is a government by the people, acting through the representatives of a majority of the people. Results cannot be had except by a majority, and in the House of Representatives a majority, being responsible, should be the priority of that power; otherwise the majority is inefficient and does not perform its function. The office of the minority is to get the majority on its good behavior, advocating in good faith the policies which it professes, ever ready to take advantage of the success of the majority party and appeal to the country for its vindication. From time to time harotofore the majority has become the minority, as in the present case, and from time to time hereafter the majority will become the minority. The country has a majority of 44 in the House of Representatives at this time, yet such is not the case. The present Speaker of the House has to the best of his ability and judgment co-operated with the Republican history or this Congress—the Republican Party in the House has been enabled by a very small majority when the test came to legislate in conformity with the policies and the platforms of the Republican Party. Such action of course began—critic the Speaker does not depreciate—on the part of the mil- narty Party. The Speaker cannot be unimminent of the fact, as evidenced by three previous elections to the Speakership that in the past he has enjoyed the position of Speaker of the country and of the Republican members of the House, but the assault upon the Speaker of the House by the minority, supplemented by the efforts of the so-called insurgent minority, aided by a number of so-called insurgents, constituting 15 percent of the majority party in the House. 'Is now in the majority and that the Speaker of the House is not in harmony with the actual majority, as was ordoned by the vote just taken. There are two courses open for the Speaker to pursue. One is tq resign and permit the now combination of Democrats and insurgents to choose a Speaker in harmony with its aims and purposes. The other is for that combination to declare a vacancy in the office of Speaker and Speaker. After consideration at this stage of the session of the House, with much of important legislation pending involving the pledges of the Republican platform and their crystallization into law, believing that his resignation might consume weeks of time in the reorganization of the House, the Speaker being in harmony with Republican policies and despair of carrying out the duties of carrying out precipitate a contest upon the House in the election of a new Speaker, a contest that might greatly entangle the final passage of all legislation necessary to redeem Republican plodges and fulfil Republican promises. This is one reason why the Speaker does not resign once, and another reason is this: In the judgment of the present Speaker, the Speaker is confession of weakness or mistake, or an apology for past actions. The Speaker is not conscious of having done any political wrong. --- . $100.00 Endowment Paid. Lexington, Va., March 14, 1910.

SATURDAY MARCH 20, 1910 SATURDAY GOLDEN TEXTS Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their syriacus, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Matt 4:22 I am he that liveth, and was dead and behold, I am alive for ever more! 1:23 Suggestion and Practical Thought These two Golden Texts express the truth and suggest the methods of one of the best and most interesting of Easter lessons. For they teach us the most important truths we need to know for our life here and for our life forevermore. That the Jesus who once lived in Palestine and did the works we have been studying Showing the love of God for man Teaching the eternal truths of heaven Expressing in visitable forms the loving kindness of our Heaven's Father Setting us a perfect example And giving his life that we abhor not peril but have eternal life. This same Jesus is realizing the day as he was it in earth. He is with us now as with the down in Gallilee. Is now imaspiring the same. Teaching the same to the same. Doing the same works. Is our present being Jesus our guide and friend. To realize the bliss to make a blessed Easter. We can take up the lessons one with this scholars and show that the Reisen Saviour is our heart Jesus. We are tempted Jesus is taught with the feeling of our infirmity since he was inflicted in a polis like as we are set with us. We study the laws of the kingdom and we know he who is not bound obedience by the things with which he so- fered became into all them that jobey him the aureal of salvation tion for it I teach with you and shall be in you. The review of seasons IV. IX we bring these truths to mind. We have been studying his good deeds to the bodies and souls of men Jesus the living Sait is continually here and now in the great work He that be in the works that I do shall be in the greater works than the lesser I go to the Ia- Lesson N. BEGIN THE YEAR WITH CHRIST No Period Can Be Happy or Beautiful Where the Lord is Left Opt One reason we live in a world become we are of great care if it all Jesus gave at the larger con- ting of this great when he said that for every idle word that can speak they must give a word that can the idle words light up the world how much more for the words are filled with the will of God with malice or with the will of God of envy of people. We are not done with life as we give it we shall meant it all again. These things being true how should we enter upon the new year? For one thing we should begin it with Christ. What is sufficient for the next plus problem of living without the divine grace and it? There is no other hand that can guide us through the new and strange experiences. Another suggestion for a prosperous new year is that we should give every hour with duty well done is a large word. It indicates that we owe to God for love and should once faithfully. It indicates that we owe to God for love can be happy or beautiful with good left off. The only way to live a year at its please star is to possess all purse keep the day and to possess all purse and love with it. You must possess all useful things. It is the days that our years, and we have but the one that gives us full and beauty at a time. It gives us us years or no. It gives us only days. If we want to day well all our life we must and be mutilated and beautiful.

The strike will be called off by the unions provided the Haiti Transit company agrees to take back all of the men on strike. That is the present obstacle. The company may one last stand. Through Kruger it said that it would protect the interests of it, men of the Kruger union who had remained loyal and that it would not reemploy in her area. It meant an $60 million when it had targeted for range. It was going to increase wages and injections. It will not get its way. It is taking back all of the men on strike. William I. Mauger said that the company would take back all of the men on none. The Rapid Transit Directors have been meeting in illness whether or not they can stand up against Mahon's demand. The alternative as it has been presented in recognition of the unions Either the company must take back all of the men with the understanding that union recognition will not be insisted upon or it must recognize the union if it insists on remaining loyal to the men who stand by it in the crisis. Both Sides Standing on Honor Although nothing definite came from conferences between representatives of the Rapid Transit company and the strikers it is practically certain that some sort of a settlement will be made within a day or two From a fight it has become a irritation Each side is saving that only "honor" interruptions between a complete settlement. The obstacle does not appear to be insurmountable One of the most surprised men in all Philadelphia was John E. Royburn, mayor of the city. The Hon. John fancied he know what was going on. It was Harleigh who persuaded him to present an uncompromising front to the unions. At a word from Earle the mayor denied his old political associates, McNichol and Vace, and said that he would stand out against treating with the unions if he had to break away from the Republican organization But Mr. Earle when he made his sudden change of front did not telephone the mayor. The mayor got his news from the papers. It was one of the most surprised mayors you ever saw. Directors of the Rapid Transit company say Kruger was taken into meeting the labor leaders and did not confer with them as to forms for settling the strike. It is positively known he did attend the conference and went ever the whole ground with Mahon no matter what his representative may say about it. These three indicate such entities that a split has taken place in the directorate of the Hapti Transit company. There is war around the directors' table. Mr. Earle however appears as able to direct the joint to ward conciliation as he was able to sway it toward both sides. There has been no loss for any oral data, but the police are taking no chances. Department of Commerce and Labor to Investigate. Washington, March 16. Efforts to settle the Bethlehem Steel company strikes are to be made to all of the government. An audit of the partiment of commerce and labor will be sent to Santa Monica. It will give the state a report. North to this, a report to the state of the strike. The request for a report will come from the courts and the striking environs, as of with several thousand have been out for more than a month. Investigation of the strike was prompted partly by the fact that the government has large steel contracts with the Bethlehem company and has been claimed that the strike has resulted in great delay in government work. Recently two results were introduced in the house on the subject by Representative Rutney (Dem.) of Illinois one calling for an investigation of the strike and the other calling upon the secretary of the navy to report what contracts with the steel company were un complied and to what extent delay had been encountered. The principal purpose of the investigation ordered is to bring the company and the strikers together in an arbitration of their difficulties.

What a man wants in a woman is somewhat as follows She must be a dream of beauty that will make Marine Ellott faint and Cavaleri fade away She must be an angel with the smile of a seraph and a great mass of magnificent hair and all her own natural She must possess a perfect temper and never raise her voice save in song She must be a good cook and all ways ready to do same She must be a splendid housekeeper and not require any servants She must love children and be able to care for them and raise them by hand She must be a fine musician and have a mind stored with all the intellectual wealth of the ages but must never get the idea that hobby hasn't the superior effect and does not know it all. She must dress in the latest fashion but must get it right on the same. She must be the interesting individual gay of a deep-seated nature lively and colorful, with a sense of everything built for living but a lack of home and bread. Protecting the safety of her husband is a big thing, but not worth it, since she doesn't get any of it. That is the point. SAYS THE BACHELOR GIRL It is a kiss that is not any thing else, not any answer. A married man is not appropriate the symphony of love, as he is allowed to kiss the best man while his wife plays so violin. A woman is with a helpless little thing that must not fail; it would be important for her to vote with one hand and to hate with the other. The city thing constant about a man's heart is the constant change. This is the season when every time a woman kisses her husband he for a few his pocketbook and grills it to his heart with books of steel. One earl of engagement ring is worth a pound of promises. When Love is done a man calls his heart but a woman merely conceals hers Before marriage we get the cream of love and then wonder why we have to live on skimmed milk forever afterward POT SHOTS.

Eating Too Much The Lancet, the great English medical paper, says that Englishmen and Americans eat too much. It especially advises people of middle age and older to practice self-restraint in the matter of food. "An the fire of life burns fiercely and the output of energy is smaller," says the writer, "so the fuel supplied should be reduced that the system may not be clogged with ashes and half burnt clinders, whereby the activity of the whole machine is from time to time impaired and may ever be prematurely arrested." Betting Debts in England. The English law as to recovery of betting debts has been a source of income to lawyers for a number of years.

A TALE of THE LAST FRONTIER BY FRANCIS RENO BEING A REMINISCENCE OF AN EARLY BORDER EXPERIENCE OF A NOTED DETECTIVE LARAMIE BILL'S LONE HAND (Editor's note: Francis Rend, the author, comes of a family of pilots from the United States and to Maj. Reno of Custer Massacre fame. His senior years were spent in the turmoil of the Korean War, and was for some time deputy sheriff and later deputy United States marshal, at Tuscon, his efforts in enforcing the law, including his involvement in border have been highly commended by the Washington authorities, and recognized by the United States for his service of $1,000 on his head, which stands to-day of late years he has held a highly revered position in the bank protective associations in the United States, and as superintendent of its secret service has established an aviable burial place. These stories are confined to his earlier experiences in the west, the Southwest, and New Mexico near the Mexican border. The Last Frontier which until recent years was wild and lawless, and where the first pilots of pioneer days made his last stand.) T was through the kindness of my friend Jim Baldwin, sheriff of the next county, that I was first made aware of the existence and celebrated qualities of Mr William Rodney better known among his institutes by the sobriquet of Laramie Bill Baldy" as the boys called him dropped into my office at Tuson Arith on acclession at afternoon in June I was through the kindness of my friend Jim Baldwin, sheriff of the next county, that I was first made aware of the existence and kept by guardian Mr William Rodney better known among his intimates by the sobriquet of Laramie Bill Baldy" as the boys called him dropped into my office at Tuoson Artz on applause afternoon in June 1902 seated himself comfortably and having applied a match to the elgar I handed him cast a critical eye around the room "Pretty snug quarters you've got here Renna, he observed complacent and was not in danger of old Innie San hey" Don't know as Id object to puttin' in a spell as United States marshal myself Any time you feel like tradin' jobs awhile, just let me know, will you" "Thanks" I responded, but I guess I'm not looking for a change at press ent. How are things down your way? How are new or exchanged turned up laterly? "Well," rotured the sheer, thought fully "I can't say as how shes been anything come off as pervided the boys with extra lively entertainment. There might have been if we could have come up with them parties as turned a trick at the Blue Moon mine about five weeks ago. It was late at night when the game come off. The assayer a feller by the name of flawkins, had been retortin' the ansalgam of the work a clean up and rummin' the gold into bars. He was workin' late, and flawkins was busy round the furnace when he was hit from behind and knocked cold. When he come to he was tied up and foot with a handkerchief insisted into his mouth, and the two bars of bullion was gone. The boss found him about seven in the mornin' untied him and set him to the bunk house to have his brushes fixed up. Then he got hold of me and I gathered a pose together and started out after the robbers. We picked up the trail on a rise overlookin' the camp where they had bitched their houses to an ironwood tree, and followed it the south. They had too good a start of us and made their getaway. I rightfully think they were chasing me, we met along the trail, and it's a pretty even bet from the description they gave us that a Mexican named Jose Guiterrez and three of his pals was the men we were after." "The boys that made up the posee were sure enough disappointed, countin' as they did on some free-fur-alhoncin' and fun. But I allow that none of 'em was riled so much as Laramie Bill' booney. A good scrap is meat and drink to Bill." "Laramie Bill," I repeated. "Two heard you mention it before. Who said he was a spoak of him as if he was something of a border terror. Does he eat 'em alive, or keen a private gravee?" "Leramite Bill," he said solemnly, "n'tt a joke by no means. He's one of the whitest men, the best shot and bullest all-round fighter that ever come to Arizona. If ever you've in need of a deputy that 'tll stick to you through thick and thin, you take a tip from me and send for Bill. He're ridic'n' range now with the Sandy Ferguson outfit, but if it happens that you want a good man in a burry any time, lemme know and I'll get him for you. Just tell me what good of bill that'll I tell you sometime'. Did you ever hear of what he did down in New Mexico a couple of years ago? But of course you didn't, seein' that you hadn't heard his name till a few minutes ago. "You see, he struck a fellow that'd had bad luck and was night on dead broke, and he done the square thing by him, and they come to be parada. This other fellow was real quiet and good americin', and the boyfriend like him. Well, one night he was havin' a little game in the back room of a store up to Tate, and Boston Joe—that called him Boston because he hailed from the originally, and some friends called him the Tace Terror, too, for he was on the shoot every time—Boston he came in and jist on that he wanted to get in the game. Laramie said he'd no, they didn't what him the Boston he didn't say one word, but he went in the 'dilled' rooftops and down, and when the poo chap came in, Boston he drawned and shot him USSIL. Then he put out, down Boston Fe way. Well, some one heard the shut, and he roused the camp and a party got their horses and started after Boston. When they'd been gone some time Laramie he rode into camp and they told him what happened. He heard them all through, and then he turned round, real quiet like, to a Greaser and sung out to him to fetch a fresh horse, and he rode off, never sayin' another word, except to ask which way the cusas had gone. It wasn't long before he met the party comin' back, and they told him they hadn't no show to catch Boston, because he got so much of a start, and Laramie he said that was all right, but he'd just allow he'd keep on and try, and he did. You see, he went over eight lights and rides, and he over eight forces on and in the rallies, and after awhile he comes up behind Boston, real quiet and pleasant like. "I'm sort of 'fraid' says Boston, 'that I've struck a streak of bad luck. I fired at a man down to Tass and I allow I hit him pretty hard' "Why, that's nothin', says Laramie. 'Ain't we he a man for breakfast quite frequent in Taos?' "You see, he was talkin' that way to put Boston off his guard, and he rode right up alongside of him, just the same as if they was pards, and all the time he was lookin' him over, and he saw two big six-shooters in his belt. Well, they rode along, and Laramie he was speakin' real plausant, and all of a audden, quick as a flash he pulls his gun and sticks it to Boston's head and says he 'Drop your belt, or I'll kill you!' "You don't mean it, says Boston "Drop your belt, and be d--d quick about it, or I'll blow your head off, yells Laramie, and Boston he didn't wait no longer "And Boston he knew the game was up, and he didn't say another word, but just rode along as quiet as a lamb, and as they passed the bait, with the two pistols in it, lyn on the ground. Laramie he swings himself down and picks them up, and all the way back he never took his eyes off of Boston, and kept his guns on him. And when he got back to Tao, and Boston was locked up, you but the boys just rode Laramie round on their shoulders, and they set up the drinks—champagne wine, too, eight dollars a bottle. You see, Laramie he didn't let on how he got away with Boston, but Boston himself told the boys, when he said he. He said no one else could have done it! "Evidently a reliable man in a pinch, your friend Laramie, I remarked, as Baldy concluded. "You be that a what he is," returned the sheriff enthusiastically. "And remember what I told you, Reno the U. ever wants a handy deputy, you know where to find him." Three weeks later I was destined to be reminded of my conversation with the shrift by a strange coincidence. A telegram reached me from head quarters instructing me to proceed to Flagstaff and arrest four Mexicans who were running a sheep ranch and were accused of setting fire to government timber. There was nothing out of the ordinary about this, but when my eye rested on the name of Jose Guterres in the message my mind reveted to Baldy's suspicion regarding outlaws who had been responsible for the blaze at the Blue Moon mine, and I indulged in a gasp of astonishment. "Queer thing!" I insisted if these fellows should turn out to be the members of the gang that got away from Baldy." The others named in the telegram were Victor Anton Garcia, Someret and Manuel Estadas, but of them I of course knew nothing. At all events the Blue Moon affair meant nothing to me, it was a case for the territory authorities to handle. What I had to do was to get after the bunch on the government charge, and I proceeded to make my arrangements at once. The message further stated that it would be well for me to take along a deputy a man that I could rely thoroughly upon in case of trouble, as the Mexicans were said to be a bad lot, who did not confine themselves altogether to the peaceful pursuit of sheep herding, but were suspected of indulging in other pastimes frowned upon by the law. The result of my cognitions was the dispatching of a message to Baldy informing him that I had some important business on hand and would be glad to avail myself of Laramie Bill's valuable services if they could be had in a hurry. The sheriff was true to his promise, and must have acted with lightning promptitude, for five hours later Laramie Bill himself stood before me. He was in no sense of the word a big man, this celebrated specimen of the border breed. Five feet eight in height, and built on graceful, rather than powerful lines, he did not look at first sight to be a particularly dangerous antagonist. But there was something cat-like in his movements and a hint of suppressed fires in the glance of his gold gray eyes that bespoke the activity and determination when around to action. His voice, low in tone and drawing forth sentences with seemingly lazy indifference, was also highly deceptive, if taken as an index to the character of the owner; but the recollection of what Daddy had told me acted as an effectual preventive of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. "I miss my guess," he said, "If that aunt He dore right there." the mistake of judging by outside appearance, and I felt confident that I had secured an assistant who would not fall me in the hour of need. It took only a few moments to swear Laramie into the service of Uncle Sam, and we started off on our expedition. Flagstaff is about 275 miles from Tucson, as the crow files, so that we had a pretty long journey ahead of us for the first stage, but Laramie was in exuberant spirits, and seemed to look upon the whole affair as a kind of a pleasant picnic. "I take it kind of you," he observed, in his soft,恳恳 drawing, to have rung me in this deal And, by the way, I kin tell you something about these here birds we're after. I knew this here Quiterrez and they three pals of me. They was a bad lot all of them, and the camp didn't have no use for 'em though we never got em just dead to rights at any of their games. You kin bet it ain't sheepherd in that takin' up all of their time. That's nothin' but a blind that's what it is, for whatever devilment they have in hand. If I had known they was hangin' around the Blue Moon that time I could have put Baldy wise to them, and that stirk up would never have come on. I did not know nothls about them until I was called on to join the pose." Well, you want to bear in mind that the Blue Moon robbery is none of our business. I authorized want 'em, after we got through with them, that's a horse of another color. Do you suppose that Quiterrez and his friends are likely to remember you?" Laraine laughed softly. "I guess yes," he responded. "I had a little fuss in Taco with Mr. Jose one night, and was obligated to beat him up quite some. His pal was there, but they didn't interfere. He let on he didn't bear no malice, and was very sweet to me afterward, but you know how them grease are. Anyway, it's safe betting that he didn't forgome it." We reached Flaggart in one course of time and at once set about obtaining some trace of Guillemaras and his gang. I was informed that they were spending the day with some other Mexicans who came some time from town. I asked a couple of good dressed horses and we rode to the mill, but the birds had flown and the place appeared to be deserted. Meeting with some cattle-men, I hated and had a talk with them. There is never any love lost between cattle men and sheep herder, the former looking on the latter as the pests of the grassing land and treating them accordingly. So when I informed them of the objects, I guess they will all the assistance in their power. "I think likely," said one of them, "that you'll find them greasers at Mormon lake, about two miles from here. If they ain't there, you might hike some five miles further till you strike the San Braido canyon. There's a shanty on the side of a hill where they hang out some. You'd better be nane too careless how you go after them. They're a peaky bunch of black-minded coyotes, and a gun's the only thing to argue with them. I thanked my informant, and we set out for Mormon lake, and we coveted milk when Laramie touched my show and pointed to the figure of a horseman riding slowly toward us through the mesa. "I miss my guess," he said, "if that alas't Mr. Jose right there." We rode on until within a few yards of the horseman, and then Laramie chuckled aloud. "Nothin' could be nicer," he whispered; "It's him sure enough." I wheaked my horse so as to cross the Mexican's trail. Laramie keeping close behind me. I signaled him to halt, and he came to a sudden stop, his small black eyes gleaming auspiciously from under his slouch hat. His right arm moved toward the fvv handle of the long platoi in his belt, and reaching for my gnu I whipped it out and covered him. "Throw up your hands and get off that horse," Frasak, sternly, "Mets live tight, you unlace you want some lead in your system." He compiled solidly enough, and dismounted Just as his feet touched the ground he caught sight of Laramie's smiling countenance and started violently "Cramamba" he ejaculated. "is the Laramie Laramie Bill." Laramie gripped like a pend "It's me, sure enough, old pal." he affirmed, cheerfully. "Maybe this isn't a pleasant surprise to run across a friend so far from home How's Victor, Manuel and Garcia, your teammates? I'd like to say howdy to 'em, Jose, just for the sake of old times." Guiterrez glanced at the speaker darkly, but made no reply Instead he turned to me with an expression of injured innocence. "What for you stick me up this way?" he demanded. "You're under arrest on a charge of destroying government money" I said, and am going to take you to Flag-staff Keep your gun on him, Laramie while I go through him." Laramie obeyed with cheerful promptitude, and I made a careful search of the Mexican's person, removing his gun and a long, ugly bow knife, both of which I transferred to my own belt. Then I snapped the handcuffs on him and proceeded to interrogate him as to the whereabouts of his companions. But on this point he was obdurate and refused to speak, and I resolved to return to Flagstaff with my prisoner, put him under lock and key, and come back on the following day to attend to his comrades' case. It was not quite soon when we reached the town and deposited the prisoner in jail. When we were leaving him Laramie nudged the end whispered. You can't get no objections I'd like to be allowed to talk with Mr. Jose by myself awhile. I've got a notion that I him get some news out of the sultry swine. "All right." I responded. "Go ahead, but don't be too rough in your way of persuading him to loosen up. We'd got to treat Ursula Sana's suerte tenderly." "I'll handle him like a pet kid," returned Laramie. "When was you figurin' on goin' after the rest of the bunch?" "We'll start early to-morrow morn ing," I said. "I think it's boat to make a daylight job of it." I returned to the boarding house where we had put up and lounged about for the balance of the day. Much to my surprise Laramie failed to put in an appearance, nor during my subsequent wanderings around the town did I discover any trace of my erstwhile deputy. A visit to the jail left the no waier than before. Jose, in his cell, merely glared malignantly when I approached him and declined to enter into the room. I awelled and discoloration adoring the Mexican's right eye that I could have awned was not in evidence a few hours earlier, and I wondered, with a vague feeling of discomfort, if Laramie, in spite of my warning, had been applying other means than those of moral awareness to the prisoner in his zeal to extract information from him regarding his companions. Had I been aware of the evening's entertainment which my worthy assistant comfort would have been largely increased, but of the starting train of events which followed, his visit to the jail I was destined to remain in blissful ignorance for the present. What had actually happened was this: After I left Laramie alone with the prisoner my energetic deputy proceeded to make the Mexican talk according to certain methods that would not have met with the sanction of the United States government. In other words, he brow beat and man-handed the unlucky Jose in such vigorous style that the terrified greisser finally wilted and consented to reveal the whereabouts of his accomplices. On obtaining this information Laramie filled with an unholy joy, obtained a fresh-horse and started out on an expedition on his own account. He rode steadily all that afternoon until he reached the San Brenter canyon, and drew right sight of the shanty on the hillside of which the cattlemen had told us. It was dusk when he fainted and the canyon was level with shadow. On the hill in plain view stood a roughly constructed cabin with a wreath of smoke curling up from its lone chimney. Laramie waited with impatience for a light to show in the windows, then tled his horse and scrambled down to a water hole near by. An hour passed before a light suddenly twinkled and became steady against the hillside, just lower than the stars. Then Laramie walked quickly up the hill, approaching the cabin and knocked sharply on the door. Being a careful observer of border etiquette, he stopped swiftly to one side as the door, which sagged on the wall, fell within. Instantly the opening was hot with the blissing breath of three bullets. Laramie stepped into the doorway "What d've megan" he demanded of the Mexican who stood facing him. "Oh it is you responded the man addressed. Has the Senior Laramie no more sense than to come poundin' round here this way." I once killed a guy that done such a fool trick like that. "I know you did returned Laramie placard." And that a just who you didn't notice me. You that act you prized to see the Manie was you lookin' for me to ask. The Most are the teeth in a smile. You what you in a smile. If you in a town the limited to the thick perhaps you come up here commented in and after I see you get up in pal fora with you What's become of Virtue? For you, Manie's sure to the window and paint of it. There was an anvil on ground the steps on the grave and a man at the door. "How are you Mike?" greeted Laramie languuli? How long did the good Senior Laramie wait down below? Inquired Maniel. "I think you are on hour, replied Victor with a gin. The fact that he had been washed since his attalid I seem to act like a laramie near. I do not have known it was his only remark of a thought. Simmedates, leaped to the horse he had hidden in the brush. If he should get out of the room after what then? "What you come up here for?" queried Manuel. Laramie gaced at the speaker steadily. "Tell you he said at length 'I'm here as a United States deputy and I want you fellowes on a charge of destroying government timber Jones is locked up safe and song in Flagstaff. J伞 and you chaps are on! J伞 Hold on and you be cautioned as Manuel moved restlessly. 'fove you do anything rash. Remember you don't bucking me alone, it's the fist of old Uncle Sam you'll be runnin' against. If I don't get you there's lots more where I come from and they will." A puzzled look crossed Manuel's face while Laramie was speaking. It was plausible that he had expected to be charged with something entirely different from the charge Laramie had named. "Government timber?" he repeated "Oh, that is an annoying thing I thought—" "You thought I was after you for that Blue Moon business, didn't you?" queried Laramie. "Well, I alot. That isn't any of my affair." "So, said Manuel, shortly, "but it might be someone else's affair, when they get us locked up. Why you be one damn fool, Laramie! If you say anything, not go back to town but come home us, we help make you see. You see that sack over there in our corner." Laramie glanced at the spot indicated and nodded assent. "There is," pursued Manuel softly, "much gold in there. Not only the Blue Moon gold, but ozzers. What you say?" Lamarle's reply was to drop his hands to his sides, an open declaration of war, for in the merest fraction of a second they had produced two gleaming guns with which he covers Why Not Make Use of Your Spare Time.

W. THE occupants of the cabin For an ID stant his eye dwelt on Manuel The other two had elevated their hands rapidly at his command but the leader of the party heaited and seemed to be weighing his chances At last Manuel's hands rose slowly from his knees to the level of his ears Larame felt that the room had become infinitely smaller Victor would only have to leap six feet to grasp him, but he would be dead as he moved and Garcia was in a similar fix But to dis- arm them he must leave the doorway, the only exit and Manuel, decidedly the most dangerous of the trio, would be the last one to be rendered harm- less. In obedience to his curtly expressed command they faced the wall. He could disarm darrel without moving, Victor came next and at this juncture Laramie began to realize the truth of the old adage that informs us "no chain is stronger than its weakest link." He had hoped that the chain would not until he reached Manuel, but he pulled the cartridge From Victor's gun it snapped and Laramie stagged back as a bullet cut a path through the thick crest of hair that ornamented the top of his head. The next instant his guns were in full action, and bell broke loose within the cabin walls. Late that night a hand grasped my shoulder and shook me from slumber into broad wakefulness. I opened my eyes to Laramie standing by the cabin. His left hand was bandaged but in all other respects he was the same cool, easy going individual that had accompanied me on the expedition earlier or in the day. "I've got them greaters," he remarked placidly "but you'll have to hire a wagon to tote em down from the cabin 'tother side of Mormon lake. There was some fuss and a little shootin' and I rocked that there Manus) ain't in none too healthy shape, cause a bullet got him in the chest. The other two has only fish wounds, the other has no wounds and smashed. They're tied up nice and sung till we comes to fetch em." Somewhat heatedly, for I did not exactly fancy Mr William Rodney's nerve in bringing matters to a focus without consulting me I demanded an explanation and got it. In the name of all that is sensible, I asked divided between admiration and indignation what possessed you to start off by yourself in that way? Laramie grinned sheeply "Woll, you see he said I owned a groom he gave us from back and I fingered that there wasn't no use in pulling you into the fuse. So I thought I'd make it solitary and play a long hand." In spite of his serious wound Manuel recovered and was able to stand trial with his comrades when their case came up. Next to Laramillo, it is probable that Sheriff Baldwin was the most gratified man in Arizona over the way matters had turned out. For to him fell the satire satisfaction of reargreeting the foe.

Quitting for Hate Some very beautiful quilting or children hats can be made more easily by hand than by machine. They require a quantity of ribbon velvet or ribbon (more of the latter because it is less heavy) but the simple mushroom shape will mean no further expense for trimming. Your inch wide ribbon will work up well into a snaky looking hat decoration when the two ends that depend from the back, after the quilting is tacked to the hat are each passed through a jet or metal side. New Hat Bands White hats are at the top of fash ion. Girls are wearing mushroom sailors of white beaver and felt trimmed only with a black and white or colored band, such as are sold for boys' hats It is finished with a flat pump bow at the side. This is a novelty that every girl would like. The white beaver cleans easily with yellow corn meal or French chalk. A Fact. This is a fact.

TO INCREASE YOUR KNOWLEDGE SEVEN FOR STREET WEAR DIAGONAL WOOLS ARE TO BE A POPULAR MATERIAL. Creams and Grays the Choice for Colors—Stripes, Properly Used, Will Add to Effectiveness of the Costume. Naturally the street suit occupies the most of the public attention just now, for if one may put up with old things at home the costume do sortie must express Fabiana a last mood to be acceptable. Quite the most delightful of those suits are being made of diagonal wools. In creams and grays, with a thread stripe in a darker color. With a single gown, too, the stripe will be used in two ways, up and down and across, while a short turn-over collar of satin, bengaline or rajah, will sharply contrast in color. A pale gray wool dress, with the stripping thread of black, had a satin collar in corbeau-blue satin, with the ends held down with oval Chinese buttons of great beauty. Under this collar, which, coat-fashion, came little lower in front than the collar bones, was a shawl collar of black satin. On the collar bones, there were with darker color and showing the stripe straight across, up and down, and blas—each way being chosen for some particular panel—there was a little embroidered collar of a soft brown silk with scarf ends. Very pretty little house dresses show a return to chillel, taftafo and foulard, with many of these made in the simple one-piece way that a cotton gown would be made. Twenty useful little home jackets of mongolian fabric are here shown, in strictly practical and ornamental designs. The matinee at the left is a French model which is especially adapted to 1910 the elegant wash features of summer, Swiss, infiatte, embroidered muslin, etc. The dainty garment is cut with a fish tail bottom back and front. This line is very becoming to the figure. The garment is hotted at the front only the ribbon is slipping under the pleats that run Gibbon fashion from the shoulders. As illustrated, embroidered Swiss, blue ribbon and net lace are used and with only the substitution of black ribbon, such a combination would be perfectly suitable for house mourning. The other jacket, which is essentially for practical uses is likewise fitted with Gibbon shoulder pleats, and the front is trimmed with a band and worn crossed kimono-fashion. The belt gives a neat touch to this saucage, which if made in a pretty lawn, or challe, or cashmere, would be found a very useful home garment for young or old, the mourning or the joying. At a pinch, too, when the sudden visitor appears, for instance, the tail could be worn under the skirt thus giving the nologine the look of a shirt waist. That Fancy Initial. An odd, quick method of working the thicker parts of old English letters instead of padding and covering with satin stitch is a modified buttonholing. One side of the outline is buttonholed at regular spaces, the length of stitch being taken to opposite line. The other side of the letter is then worked, the buttonholing done so the spacing alternates. This row has the stitches but half the length of the first, or to the middle of space to be covered. Use a rather heavy cotton, coarser than for solid embroidery. Both buttonholings may be alike, or one can be blue the other white or two tones of a shade.

What a pity it is allowed to escape SATURDAY MARCH 26, 1910 SATURDAY MARCH 26, 1910 LANGFORD WINS FROM FLYNN IN THE EIGHTH Pueblo Fireman No Match for Negro Boxer--Defeated Man Uncon conscious for Five Minutes After Fight Ended. Los Angeles, Cal. March 17 Sam Langford of Boston today did away with Jim Flynn. Pueblo fireman to the last half of the eighth round of a fight that was scheduled to go for five rounds at the old Jeffries Arena. The knockout was not a clean one. The uppercut which Langford delivered with his left hand merely accelerated Flynn's fall after he had missed a righ swing at Langford's law, and lost his balance Flynn fell pronons on the mat with his arms extended and dislocated his law. Referee Charles Eryton counted the flemman out before Flynn's seconds were able to realize what had happened. The fighter staggered to his feet and made feeble efforts to fight again through the opponent he saw through his half-shut eyes was imminent. Flynn's chances of winning were dimmed in the first round when Langford breaking away from the first clinch delivered a right swing to the flemman's left check. The blow opened a gash and started the blood flowing. With his face out and swollen bleeding from the nose and mouth and apparently weakened in body and spirit by the terrific blow of the colored fighter Flynn fought through eight rounds and came out for the eighth. In the first seven rounds Flynn had prevented the colored fighter from getting himself for a knock-out by closing in whenever he found his arms free, and butting his head up against his opponent's chin. He could not do that in the eighth. When the round was half over, Langford leaped backward from a clench and started his right to Flynn's jaw Flynn launched a swing with his right but it failed to find the mark, and his body followed through Langford's left hand shot to Flynn's jaw, but it was more from his own momentum than from Langford's blow that Flynn went down. In the third round Flynn had fallen to his knees in much the same way when Langford slid stepped a right swing, and he was down for seven seconds. More than 7,000 people assembled at the Vernon Academy to see the Langford Flynn. Langford came through the rope at 2:55 Bob Armstrong and Lew Byers were his seconds Flynn came in a minute later, and received the greatest ovation Abdul, the Turk Billy Rooney King Hogan and Dick Alcen seconded Flynn Charles Eyron was referee The first round was Langford's Flynn fought close, and hugged the colored man continually. He was bleeding profusely at the mouth as the round ended. The second round was more even with Flynn hugging and keeping his head on Langford's shoulder. Neither was harmed. Flynn was badly punished in the third round being down at one time for seven seconds. He was bleeding from the mouth when he went to his corner. Flynn stood back in the fourth and let go some long arm punches and then crushed into a clutch. He was distressed and cut under the chin Langford appeared unhurt. Langford tried to force Flynn to open up his guard in the fifth. He landed right and left in Flynn's ribs and Flynn clinched the round out. The sixth round was a series of clinches Langford came out of it bleeding from the right eye and mouth Flynn seemed to be stronger.
