THE RICHMOND PLANET GERSHOM OR THE STORY OF THE NEGRO. The day in which the nostrils of the world Of human life were filled, imparting life, Is in the distant past, but on the tree That then was given, in this act, the root Of evolution to the present day, Are borne the fruits of races quinary. Each present race has in its making known A different influence, and has thus been shaped A different product, yet can never lose The human kindship common 'like to all. But I have not arisen now to sing Of many races and their histories, But needs must speak the kindred sympathes That lend me strength to chronicle my own. For in the life beginning I was there— Not I but mine—the trusty, better part— The spirit medium of my inner self Was there. My race, inueed, was surely rocked Upon the waters of the mighty flood To serve the purpose of a mighty Will That moveth ever in deep mysteries To man unknown, but never yet wast known To do a thing amiss, devoid of good. If there couldst eer be found a single proof. Or any probability to show Aught in the hint of any race to say That there is any or the unknown mark Set on the brow of Cain, to be our own. Or that the curse of Canaan didst fall Upon our spirits in the distant past, Still would we stand, as now, steadfast in faith And see a noble purpose in it all HARTSHORN MEMORIAL A Fine Entertainment. Friday night April 1, 1910, 8:15 the assembly room of the Hartshorn Memorial College, was crowded to its seating capacity, with an appreciative, representative audience. Many were students of the Union University. The occasion was a Musical and Cantata. The program was rendered. The first singing class, produced the key note to the beginning of a creditable production. The music was timely; the melody or voices was in harmony with every strain of the instrumental music. The next was a piano solo (Days of yore) by Miss Minnie Hayes, followed by a piano duet, (Morris Dance) Misses Willie Cousins and Violet Grey. Then the quartette (The night has a thousand eyes) was well rendered by Misses McGuinn, Alston, Woodson and Johnson. The piano duet (Marche Triumphale), was an excellent production, by Misses Maude Howard and Naomi Hill, also the piano solo, by Miss Revella Hudges. The singing by the President's Glee Club (Sweet and low) brought from what then seemed to be an enthusiastic audience applause, after applause. The drill was conducted by students, who seemed to wear no insignia, not as his personal representatives, but rather as his escort, even though he was not visible upon the stage. The entire entertainment was under the skillful management of the accomplished Mrs. Rosa K. Jones. She was highly complimented. Emancipation Exercises Emancipation Day was observed here last Monday by tw₀ organizations, both of which had a parade. One was led by Mr. J. C. Randolph and the other by Mr. James C. Smith. The former had more carriages and the latter had more men on foot. Mr. Randolph secured the bands of Petersburg as the Mayor of that city would not grant a permit for a parade. Mr. Smith and his friends had employed all of the bands available in Richmond, it is alleged. Mr. Randolph had engaged the Broad Street Park. A base-ball game there interfered to some extent with the arrangements. Mr. Smith carried his followers to Fairmount Park at 21st and Fairmount and both seemed to have had a good time, although both parades would have made only one fairly good showing. Wedding Anniversary Invitations are out to the forty-sixth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Jackson, Friday evening, April 15, 1910, at their residence, 902 North Seventh Street, from 8 to 12 o'clock. A Level Headed Leader Has Faith in President Taft. "In judging President Taft's Administration, in so far as it has had a bearing on the Negro race, not a few Negroes have fallen into the error of considering alone the number and quality of political appointments to date. An equitable representation in the offices, whether North or South, is admittedly the wish and hope of every Negro, and he considers it but the just recognition of his citizenship, and his loyalty, too, and observance of the laws of his country. Still, however, it must not be assumed that political appointments alone constitute the one and only basis upon which to predicate criticism of President Taft and his Administration. "Regrettable though it be, there is a real and fancied line of distinction between the whites and Negroes of this country. President Taft in his every public utterance has shown that he is out of sympathy both with the real and fancied line of distinction. However, this has not closed his eyes to the existence of this line, nor prevented his attempting an adjustment of conditions which will, he sincerely hopes, eventually destroy every evidence of race distinction and race conflict. That he is sincere in this matter no Negro who knows him, or correctly judges him will affirm to the contrary. If those Negroes who are impatient for a shower of political fruit from the Presidential plum tree will stop to consider that when the Maryland disfranchising law was before the electors of that State for adoption, President Taft threw the weight of his influence against it, and in vigorous terms denounced it as an unjust discrimination; and that without that influence, probably, every Negro in Maryland today would be disfranchised, perhaps they will conclude the beneficent effect of his influence in Maryland as far more fruitful for the race than any number of political appointments. If the Negro critics of the President will recall his Hampton, Howard University, and Wilberforce University speeches, in which he declared unqualifiedly for, and urged vigorously the widest, most varied, and best possible education for the Negro, perhaps, if they are Lonest and sincerely interested in the race advancement, will conclude that the influence exerted by the President for education will have a vastly more important bearing on the uplift of our ten millions of Negroes than a hundred political appointments of high or low degree could have. If the Negro critics will stop and consider the deep interest shown, and the efforts put forth by President Taft's Administration, to preserve the independence, and to provide for the permanency and progress of the Liberian Republic—thus affording an opportunity for the Negro to show and develop his capacity for self-government—perhaps they will assume, and rightly, too, that the cause of the Negro is a matter of deep concern with the President. "If the Negro critics, and those seekers for the temporary elevation to be found in political appointments will recall that the President, in his annual message to Congress, advocated the holding of a semi-centennial celebration of the emancipation of the American Negro from slavery, in order that the race might show in concrete and assembled form the wonderful progress made in fifty years of freedom, perhaps they will agree to give him the credit he has earned for a sincere desire for race uplift. "And, also, it must not be lost sight of, when in forming a judgment of President Taft, that in every measure, policy or legislative enactment recommended by him to benefit the people of the United States as a whole, the Negro, as a part, must necessarily be benefited, and for this we have a right, in common with the whites, to feel grateful to him. "The fact that he President retained his membership on the Jeanes Fund Board, a board having the management and disposition of a fund for Negro education, although he had retired from active participation in all his many societies and boards, save the Yale corporation, makes it inconceivable that he can be regarded in any other light than one who aims to be a friend. And that he takes a keen interest in the work of the Jeanes Fund Board is evidenced by his having had its members meet with him at the White House last December. conditions of the one by attracting the sympathy and help or the other. "That President Taft is destrous of having, and means to see that the Negroes receive a fair and equitable political representation no one who is informed doubts. Not because of any possible bearing it may have on his future political fortunes, but because he believes it their just right and due. But Rome was not built in a day, and no administration was able to fulfill all its promises within a year from date. President Taft is sincere in his desire and aim to reduce race friction to the minimum, and increase the harmony between the races to the maximum. Criticism is not likely to dissuade him from his purpose to conserve, first, the interests of the whole people, without reference to $_{1}$ race or color, and secondly, to conserve the interests of the classes without prejudicing the cause of the latter. "Before criticising the dispensing power the race should, at least, affect consistency. His appointment of Mr. Emmet J. Scott, an ideally balanced and splendidly equipped man, as one of the Liberian Commissioners was, without just cause, criticised by some members of the race, but not by the whites. The first, and most important term appointment made by the President was that of Robert H. Terrell to a place on the municipal bench and that appointment although a re-appointment, was made in the face of strenuous opposition. And, strange to say, the opposition was entirely on the part of Negroes, the people he thought to serve and please. And that opposition was not based on any lack, in Judge Terrell, of ability, equipment or character, but was prompted by a mean, jealous spirit. If appointments or Negroes to office must be met with opposition from within the race, the race is, at least, inconsistent. If it expects white men to be unanimously in the affirmative for Negro appointments. "Taken as a whole, there is much in President Taft's first year for encouragement for the race, and the specific cases I mention stand as incontrovertable proof of his friendship for the race." Rev. Thompson's Great Work Here. That faith, grit and push, are the trio that make for success, has been verily clearly demonstrated, by the record made by Rev. O. Paul Thompson, Pastor of the Cedar Street Baptist Church (Liggin's Hill), during the short time of his pastorate there. He was unanimously called on the 19th of February, took charge on the 26th. The membership was small and scattered. Those that remained were dissatisfied and all but disheartened. He has under God succeeded already in bringing the people together, infusing new life, vim and courage in them, and remodeling the church, and beautifying the grounds, and property in general. The membership and congregation have been more than doubled, and the same holds good in the Sunday School and the other church organizations. Besides the establishment of several new auxiliaries, the finances have kept abreast of the other improvements. The collection for February, amounted to $51.88. For March, the general collections reached $66.27 besides the $128.58, raised in the rally. The Re-opening Services, held for the week beginning March 27th and ending April 1st, were well attended and inspiring in the extreme On Sunday, March 27th, the Sunday School, assisted by members of other Sunday Schools rendered an excellent Easter service at 11:30 A. M. The communion service at 3:30 was unusually largely attended and impressive, at which time the two children of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Epps, were publicly prayed for, and named. The evening brought us some of the finest talent Richmond could afford, the occasion being a Grand Sacred Concert. Monday evening, "The Church" gathered to praise the Lord for His goodness, the result was a good spiritual meeting. Tuesday night, brought us the celebrated Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, Pastor First Baptist Church, and a large number of his flock. He was at his best and left us food for reflection for many a day to come. Mrs. Johnson and Miss Taylor sang very acceptably. Wednesday evening, Miss M. A. Tharp, assisted by a hand of lovely young misses and gentlemen, furnished an A-1 program. Thursday evening a sad ulsappointment met us, in that Rev. C. L. Somers, Rector of St. Phillips P. E. Church, who was to have spoken and whose choir was to sing, was prevented from being present, by the illness of his wife. The Pastor spoke. Friday night the last of the program, brought to us a rare treat in the person and message of Rev. Dr. Hunter, Pastor of the Third Street A. M. E. Church. The message was simple, yet profound, timely and helpful. A committee of ladies served refreshments each evening. FRANK WILLIAMS, Associate Editor, "The Bulletin."

Jeffries, who is matched to fight Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship of the world at Emeryville on July 4th next, will not, according to Jack Cleason, one of the promoters of the contest, have to wait until Independence day to get a good, stiff punch. He will get all he wants of it before very long, but it is to come from his sparring partners and those who will be his seconds during the big fight. "Jeffries will have twelve assistants in all at Rowardennan," said Gleason today. "Within two weeks there will be eight of them who are capable or delivering a hard punch, working with the big fellow and Corbett will reach the camp by June 1st, if not before. "Every one of them will box at least one round every day with Jeffries, and he has just written me that he is going to let them wallop him as hard as they can. "In other words, Jeffries is going to take no chances on not getting into fine defensive condition. He realizes that Johnson is the strongest man he has ever fought, and the heaviest clever man. Jeffries wrote me that his idea was to allow his sparring partners to land whenever they could and with all their force, although he will not, or course, hit them as hard as he can, so that he will be trained to withstand the shock of any blow that Johnson may be able to hand him." JOHNSON WINS SUIT Massachusetts Court Holds That Contract to Box Is Illegal Boston, April 5.—The Superior Court today annuled a contract between A. A. McLean, of Chelsea, and "Jack" Johnson, the pugilist, in which Johnson agreed to fight, box, and give boxing exhibitions, on the ground that the making or such an agreement was a felony in this State and could not be enforced. McLean sued the champion heavyweight on a contract made four years ago, and claimed that be suffered a damage of $10,000 when Johnson broke it. Subscribe to The PLANET JEFF IS FIT TO FIGHT Coast Expert Says Bollermaker Is as Good as Ever. San Francisco, April 5.—According to opinions of sporting men who saw Jeffries when he arrived from the South yesterday on his way to training quarters in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Jack Johnson is in for a bad beating when he faces the retired boilermaker. Gene Van Court, one of the best judges of condition in the West, declared unreservedly that Jeffries looks every bit as good as when he was in the fighting game. Van Court said: "Jeffries looks the same to me as he did a number of years ago, when he was fighting. There is only one difference. When he takes off his hat he shows that he has less hair, but physically he is in great shape, and he has an eye that denotes he is already fit for a fight. There is no question in my mind but that he will stand the routine of training well." IS BROWN AND RUGGED Jeffries is brown and rugged. His skin is smooth and flesh hard. "I have practically been in training for this fight a year." said Jeffries, "and I know pretty well what I can do. The weight question is not bothering me in the least. In fact, I do not want to take off much more weight to be right. After my first trip into Tehatchiple Range I was fairly down to my weight. My wind is good. In fact, that has never been a point to worry me. Don't you worry about me. I am going to be fit when I enter the ring. I expect to pub in a hard three months in the Santa Cruz Mountains. "I can stand training and want to be absolutely perfect. I haven't said that this fellow Johnson would be tough or that he would not be easy. You can't tell about those matters. I am not going to neglect a thing that will put me right when I am fighting and I will win just as quickly as I can." Boxing will begin almost immediately after he is settled in his new quarters. For the present Armstrong and Burns will do the rubbing and boxing and tugging with Jeffries, although Berger plans to box with the fighter a couple of times a week. Jeffries, accompanied by Sam Berger left today for Rowardennan, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, to begin training. --- Ben Lomond, Cal., April 5.—James J. Jeffries began preliminary training today, for his fight with Jack Johnson, but it will be a week or more before he settles down to hard work. The fighter was accompanied to his training quarters from Oakland today by his wife, his two nephews, Sam Berger, Wrestler Farmer Burns, and a number of other men. Jeffries expressed himself as greatly pleased with the place where he will work from now until a day or two before the fight. After looking at the cottage and the gymnasium that have been fitted up for him, and after trying out the new handball court, Jeffries and his nephews and others engaged in a brisk game of baseball. RYAN WON'T TRAIN JOHNSON Fears Public Opinion, No Matter Who Might Win Big Fight Chicago, April 5 — Tommy Ryan has backed out of his agreement with Jack Johnson to help train the burly negro for the heavyweight championship battle with Jim Jeffries at Emeryville, Cal., on July 4th. After thinking the matter over carefully, Ryan, who prides himself with teaching Jeffries that famous crouch, came to the conclusion that it would be a risky job for him to undertake. "Supposing that I were to train Johnson, and through my teachings the colored fellow were to defeat Jeffries, wouldn't I be unpopular the country over?" asked Tommy. "You see, Jeff has a great following, and if he loses there will be a lot of soreheads. On the other hand, let's concede that I trained Johnson and he lost. Think of the roaring I would get all over the country. I have thought the thing over from every angle, and decided I do not care to train Johnson for the money. I could earn by so doing." Johnson has secured partial revenge on the police. He demanded a jury trial on the latest charge of speeding his auto, and was acquitted. Hereafter Jack will never trust himself to the merces of the court alone, he says. Johnson left for Bellevue, Canada, tonight, where he makes a one-night stand. He will be back in Chicago on Friday. 5TH ST. BAPT. CHURCH. Located, Cor. 5th and Jackson Sts. RICHMOND, VA. Weekly News Column. REV. W. F. GRAHAM, D. D., Pastor, Residence: 108 E. Leigh St., Richmond, Va. J. HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor, Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. It seems as though the peculiarities which commenced as seemed with the Twentieth Century, are forming into a congenial mass. Churches which are now the pioneers in civilization are gradually moulding into the shape and presenting a hue singularly strange, yet in keeping with Divine precept. The great barriers, which were never the spirings of Christianity, are gradually but steadily fading; and mutual intercourse one of the strongest ties which binds brethren in one band is beginning to be aroused from its lethargy. When this element of Christianity shall have been thoroughly again practiced, many of the difficulties which now confront Christianity in general will and must crumble into dust. In union there is strength, not only numerically; but spiritually. There are some things in the form of evils to be remedied together with others for advancement, which Providence seemingly has designed for the church in general which can only be accomplished by a unified effort numerically and spiritually. The Fifth Street Baptist Church is looking well toward this matter and is gradually bending its energies in that direction. On last Sunday, though the day was inclement, it enjoyed a rare treat. Our Pastor, Rev Dr. W. F. Graham, preached an able solemn at the 11 o'clock service. He was extra oratorical and impressive. His manner and style doubly impressed his word with force. All eyes were facinated upon him. Occasionally an underbreath was heard saying, "What's the matter with him today?" Really he seemed to have been out of self. The choir was equal to the occasion in songs. Soul stirring heart cheerful music was sung to the delight and pleasure of christian service. At 3:30 o'clock, the Rev Dr. G. B. Howard, Pastor of Giffeld Baptist Church, Petersburg, va., preached a special sermon to women. Dr. Howard is a natural born pulpit orator, with abundant flowers and fruit, an original thinker and fine reasoner. His sermon was as forceable as it was fine. The instructions given were impressive and took deep root into the heart. All are well pleased, benefited and encouraged. We hope Dr. Howard will come over again soon. Since the facilities for travel or so convenient now adays, there is no reason why the ministry and churches of Petersburg and Richmond should not have a more mutual intercourse binding themselves closer together. Conventions are good; but the masses should get together sometimes if convenient. At night our Pastor preached. The revival commenced. The church will be opened every night. Everybody invited to these meetings. Christians come out and bring a sinner with you. In these times especial should all and the revival meetings. At 9:30 o'clock, Supt. Prof. B. H. Peyton opened the Sunday School. A fairly good attendance was present. The officers and teachers were in their places and took charge of their classes for twenty minutes. Everything is in fine trim. --- The B. Y. P. U. is gradually moving on. They had a nice time last Friday night. President John W. Howard has notified the members that the meetings will be suspended during the revival services, and urges all the members to come out and at- . . . Let all members of the church who have not re-registered, do so in the next few days. Keep in mind the Thirtieth Anniversary or the church. Manchester Will Be a Part of Richmond. The contest for the annexation of Manchester to Richmond has ended. The fight took place across the river and the annexationists won by a majority of 290.

Johnson preached an able and timely sermon on "Walking with God." First church was out in large numbers and Madame Johnson sang very acceptably. Come again. Rev. Dr. Somers, of St. Philip's P. E. Church, was prevented from coming to us on Thursday night, by the serious illness of his wife. We do pray for her speedy recovery. Friday night closed the week of re-opening services. Rev.

"I was looking at this hand, replied the girl. "I have seen one like it." Coquille shook his head good naturally. "That is very improbable." Alice looked closer. "Oh but I have," she insisted. "You mean in a museum?" "No me in life." "You have seen a hand with a little finger as long as this one?" "Yes, it is as long as the third finger and square at the end. I often noticed it." "Then you have seen something very uncommon mademoiselle. That is the most remarkable hand in my collection. It is the hand of a man who lived nearly 200 years ago. He was one of the greatest criminals the world has ever known." The detainee's curiosity was aroused. Would you mind telling me the name of the person of course it's a man who has this hand?" "Yes," said Alice. It was a man but should not like to give his name after what you have told me. "A man that you like. "Why or why yes, I like him. But the detective cut off a strange look in her eyes. He banged the subject. "You'll have a cup of tea with me won't you? Then we can talk comfortably. A uncle told me your name." "My name is Alice Groenner. My family lived in Belgium but I have only a cousin left. He is a woodcarver in Brussels. He would pay my board with the Brommeus but I don't want to be a tutor so I work at the church." The girl was seated in the full light and as they talked I coughed observed her attentively, noting the pleasant tones of her voice and the charming lights in her, her studying her with a personal as well as a professional interest, for was not this the young woman who had so suddenly and so unaccountably influenced his life? "Would you mind telling me something, mademotyledle?" he said suddenly "What is it?" "I'm asking this in the interest of M. Kittredge. Tell me if you know anything about this crime of which he is accused. Do you know who was murdered." Quite a lot, she made me write it all to miss a word. He, I produced the torn page she had.

M Kittredge is really ly, so she will be able to appear and to testify in favor of M Kittredge if it becomes necessary. But she hopes it will not be necessary. She pays M Kittredge to use this money for a good lawyer. "She didn't say what this person is that she thought guilty last night?" "No." "Did she say why she thought this guilty or what changed her into Did she drop any hint? Try to remember." Alice shook her head negatively. "What can we do? Murmured Alice twining her fingers precisely." "We must get at the truth we must find this woman who came to see you. The quickest way to do that is through Kittredge himself. He knows all about her if we can make him speak. So far he has refused to say a word but there is one person who ought to unseal his lips that is the girl he loves." "Oh, yes," exclaimed Alice, her face lighting with new hope. "I think I could, I am sure I could only will they let me see him?" "That is the point. It is against the prison rule if a person au secret to see any one, it is lawyer but I know the director of the Sante prison and I think. Alice delivered at the word.

You must find them out even if he doesn't wish to tell you. His safety and your happiness may depend on it. You now write down what I must know. Then I want to know about the lady's husband. Is he dark or fair tall or short? Does Kittredge know him? Has he ever had words with him or any trouble? Got that? "Yes." "Then—do you know whether M. Kittredge plays tennis?" Alice looked up in surprise. "Why, yes, he does. I remember hearing him any he likes it better than golf." "Ab! Now I want to know if M Rittredge uses both hands in playing tennis or only the one hand. And I want to know which hand he uses chiefy—that is, the right or the left?"

It is perhaps the most im- portant part of it. He release from protection and look up. It was after 10 when Alice left the cricket roav at the Montreuil centre. She went to open place where she met regulars for the famous Bet fortune. They knew her way and hurry to the Bedfordward Arrage she presents to the greet person who knew her well. She writes and guides her children to a great gray spider. She spies between the line It should the line de la Sante and the Honour Arrage. No one told the guard heard that she went to work from M.

It was M. Dedet the斗牛 She waited to speak with the Amor- teat. Mr. Morrison who had been sent here the day before she wanted to speak with him alone. "The later she had a tooth and par- rowed his hair in a hard stare." "Did Paul come and see you for that?" "he spotted me." As a sir, answered the girl and her heart began to sink. You see it a very special moment. "Special one," laughed the other bunch. "I should say so. It's a case of murder." "But he had to tell perfectly innoc- cent, pleaded Ate." Of course I had list several murders who have had innocent see his sweetheart work which would be a fine prison. No little one he went on, with affection for them. I am sorry to disappoint you and I hate to refuse M Paul but not be the lawyer. Man is an secret with no means that he must not see a woman with a lawyer. Alice did not see. She had been sitting in a room with a large sheet of paper. The paper was spread before writing. And on she listened to the dire rough world she took care of and twitched it nervously in her face. Then with increasing excitement as she realized that her affection had failed she began with a thinking to make little art the better and then a written word all with a singular fixed look. You had to use me, said the latter gruntly. Alice started to her feet. "I—I beg your pardon," she said weakly. Her distress was so evident that even this alloused man felt a thrill of pity and stepped forward to assist her. And as he passed the table his eye fell on the blotting paper. "Why, what is this?" he exclaimed, eying her sharply. "Oh, excuse me, sir." begged Alice, "I have applied my nice blitter. I am so sorry!" "Never mind the blitter, but!"—He bent closer over the scrawled words, and then, with a troubled look, "Did you write this?" "Why—er—why—yea, sir. I'm afraid I did," she stammered. "Don't you know you did?" "I—I wasn't thinking," she pleaded in fright. He went to his desk, picked up a printed form, filled it out quickly and handed it to her. "There," he said, and his voice was almost gentle. "I guess I don't quite understand about this thing." another note about the tuning. looked at the inner blankly. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND.

He settled down as comforted and he bowed all to pass the afternoon. The last of the Mo Alice was tired and his flight led with no engaging joy. It was a bare room with bare doors and bare yellow painted walls the only furnishings being two chairs and a cheap table, but to hit people it was a marvelous and radiantly happy place for Alice was there. He stared at her almost in believing but it was true. By some kind miracle Alice his Alice was there. Then we went any prelude without so much as asking for an explanation or giving her time to make one. Lloyd sprang inward and caught the trembling girl in his arms and drew her close to him. You darling he whispered "you brave beautiful darling" I love you! I love you! 'Lloyd dear she said 'I am here to help you to get you out of this dreddful place. "You little nug" be stalled But first you must answer some questions. If begin with the easiest question, it said, Now then, have you ever had great or rheumatism? Don't laugh at your perplexity. Never be swerted. "Do you play tennis with your right hand or your left hand?" Oh see here," he protested. "No me, she insisted, you must tell me. "I use both hands" he answered. "Now you have a chest of drawers in your room with two brass dogs fighting about the lock plates?" How the devil did you know that? "Never mind. You usually keep the right hand upper drawer locked don't you?" "That a true. Do you remember going to this drawer any time latey and finding it unlocked?" Alice hesitated, and then with a flush of embarrassment, she went on bravely "Now, Lloyd I come to the hardest part" "Well?" "It is about the lady who—who called for you. She wants to help you. I have seen her" "What?" Yes, and, Lloyd she is sorry for the harm she has done and You have seen her? he cried, dased "How?" Then in as few words as possible. Alice told of her talk with the lady at the church and I have this mes sage for you from her and this She handed him the note and the folded banknotes. Lloyd's face clouded. She sent me money? His lips grew white. "No no." he declared, "it's quite impossible I cannot take it," and he handed the money back She thrilled with pride in him "But the lawyer? Tenkly "Would you want me to own my safety to her?% "Oh, no." she murmured "Besides, they have given me a lawyer" "Then then what shall I do with these? She looked at the banknotes in perplexity "Return them!" "Ah, yes," she agreed "I will go to her apartment in the morning. Let me see it's on the Avenue... Where did I put her address?" And she went through the form of searching in her pocketbook "The Avenue Kleber," unsuspecting "Of course, the Avenue Kleber. Where is that card? I've forgotten the number too. Do you remember it dear?" "Ah. I see!" he cried, asking her steadily. "She did not give you her ad- dress and you are trying to get it from me. Do you even know her name?" "No," confessed Alice shamafacedly. "Forgive me. I—I wanted to help you." "By making me do a dishonorable thing?" "Don't look at me like that. I would not have you do a dishonorable thing but"— "Who told you to ask me these questions?" "M. Coquenill." "What? The detective?" "Yes. He believes you innocent Lloyd, and he's going to prove it." "I hope he does, but—tell him to leave this woman alone." Nothing would prevail on the young man to reveal the woman's name. The guard came forward to warn them that the time was nearly up they had three minutes more "All right" nodded Lloyd and as he turned to Alice she saw tears in her eyes. "It's tough but never inbod" You so made a man of me little and I will prove it. I used to have a sort of religion and then I lost it, and now I've got it again a new religion and new breed. It is short and easy to but it all I need and it's going to keep me game through this whole ten business. Want to hear my creed? You know it already darling for a taught it to me. Here it is. I be in Alice. That's all that a enough Let me kiss you." "Loved" she whispered as he bent toward her, can't you trust me with that woman's name? He drew back and looked at her face reproducifully and her cheeks flushed. She would not have him think that she should bargain for her lips, and, throwing her arms about him, she murmured Kiss me kiss me as much as you like I am yours." The guard's griff voice came between them. "One moment, Kuttredge said, and then to the singing girl 'Why do you ask that woman's name when you know it already." Wild eyed she faced him and shook her head. I don't know her name. I don't want to know it. You don't know her name; he re- peated and cried in the turm of the r last farewell her frank and hated deal ling in his mind. She did not know the woman's name. Back in his lonely cell Kattridge pounded this and recharged for his left volume of De Musset has treasured a pocket companion that the junior let him keep he opened it at the fly leaves. She did not know this with an name. And woodingly he read on the white paper the words and the name written by Alice herself scrawlingly, but distantly the day before in the garden of Notre Dame. A sequel was neither surprised nor disappointed at the meager results of Alice's prison. It had not been entirely vanity he had learned that Kattridge might have used his left hand in filing a plate and that he did not suffer with gout or rheumatism. This last point was of extreme importance. And the directive was specifically put in effect humor by news awaiting him at the Palms de Justice Monday morning that the man sent to London to trace the burned photograph and the five pound notes had already met with success and had telegraphed that the notes in question had been issued to Addison Winnott whose bankers were Munroe & Co. Rue Scribe Quick inquiries revealed the fact that Addison Wilmott was a well known New Yorker living in forts a man of leisure. He and his shining wife lived in a private hotel on the Avenue Kleber where they ed a gay existence in the smartest and most spectacular circle of the American colony. He was still good natured and a little fat. She was a beautiful woman, with extraordinary charm and a little girlish figure. He was supposed to kick up his legs in a quiet way, while she did the things brilliantly and kept the wheels of American colony gasp busy enough anyway turning and spinning until they groaned in utter weariness. Ruch was the information M. Paul had been able to gather from swift and special police sources when he presented himself at the Wiltmott hotel about lunchoon time on Monday. Adison was just starting with some friends for a run down to Fontaine bleau in his new Panbard, and he listened impatiently to Coquanill's explanation that he had come in regard to some English banknotes recently paid to Mr. Wiltmott and possibly clover for forgery. "Really," explained Addison. Coquanill hoped that Mr. Wiltmott would give him the notes in question in exchange for genuine ones. This would help the investigation. "Of course my dear air," said the American, but I haven't the notes. They were spent long ago. "You remember whom you paid them to?" questioned the detective. "I did not pay them to any one," replied Wilmott. "I gave them to my wife." "Ah!" said Coquenil and presently he took his departure with polite assurances, whereupon the unsuspecting Addison tonted away complacently for Fontainebleau. It was now about 2 o'clock and the next three hours M. Paul spent with his sources of information studying the career of Fussy Wilmott from special points of view in preparation for a call upon the lady. He discovered two significant things—first that, whatever her actual conduct, Mrs Wilmott had never openly compromised herself As offsetting this, however, Coquitran secured information that connected Mrs. Willimott directly with Martinez. It appeared that, among her other exections, Pussy was passionately fond of gambling. She was known to have, won and lost large sums at Monte Carlo, and she was a regular follower of the fashio sole races in Paris. She had also been seen at the Olympia billiard academy, near the Grand Hotel where Martines and other experts played regularly before eager audiences, among whom betting on the games was the great attraction. "He used to talk about this lady" said one of the markers; "he called Her the 'bells Americas,' but I am sure he did not know her real name. With so much in mind Ooquenl started up the Champs Elysées about 5 o'clock. CHAPTER XL MRS. WILMOTT, very languid and astunning amid her luxurious surroundings, received M Paul with the patronizing indifference that bored rich women extend to tradespeople. But presently when he explained that he was a detective and began to question her about the Ansonia affair she rose with a bungly gesture that was meant to banish him in confusion from her presence. Coquennil, however, did not banish so easily. He had dealt with haughty ladies before "My dear madam please sit down he said quietly. I must ask you to explain how it happens that a number of five pound notes, given to you by your husband some days ago, were found on the body of this murdered man." How do I know? the beautiful Mrs Wilmott replied sharply. I spotted the notes in shops. I'm not responsible for what became of them. Besides, I am diving out tonight and I must dress. I really don't see any point to this conversation. "No? He smiled and the keenness of his glance pierced her like a blade. The point is my dear lady, that I want you to tell me what you were doing with this billiard player when he was about last Saturday night." It is false. I never knew the man she cried. It is an outrage for you to intrude on a lady and in suit her. "You used to back his game at the Olympia." I am fond of billiards. Is that a crime? "You left your cloak and a small leather bag in the vestiture at the Asonia pursued M Paul "Your name was found stamped in gold letters under a leather flap in the bag." She faltered. "It it was?" I corneti nodded. Yes. Now what were you doing with Martinez in that room? For some moments she did it aawer but studied him with frieed puzzled eyes. Then suddenly her whole manner changed. "Now I will tell you exactly what happened. And setting herself for him Pussy Willimot entered upon the hardest half hour of her life. After al he was a nun and she would do the best she could. "Well she went on quite charmingly. I have done some french things in my life but this is the most foolish I did give Martinez the five pound notes. You see he was to play a match this week with a Russian and he offered to lay the money for me "But the dimmer the private room?" She shrugged her shoulders. I went there for a perfectly proper reason. I needed some one to help me and I couldn't ask a man who knew me so. "Then Martinez didn't know you." "Of course not. He was french enough to think he would fit with me, and well I found it convenient and amusing to atlize him." "For what?" Mrs. Wilmott bit her red lips and then, with some dignity replied that she did not see what bearing her purse had on the case since it had not been accomplished. "Why wasn't it accomplished?" he asked. "Because the man was shot." "But you were present in the room. You heard the shot." You saw Martinez fall? "Yes but. Now her agitation increased. No one had entered the room except herself and Martines and the matter who served them, she insisted Martinez was standing near her when, when the shot was fired, and he fell to the floor. That was all. Cogent smiled indulgently "What did you do with the auger" he asked "The auger" she gasped "Yes it was seen by the cab driver you took when you slipped out of the hotel in the telephone girl's raincoat" "Yes she answered weakly "And you threw it into the Seine as you crossed the Concord bridge" She stared at him in genuine attention My tired you're the closest man I ever met" M Paul smiled "I can return the compliment by saying that it isn't very lady who could throw a thing like an auger from a moth, over a white roadway and a st wall and land it in a river I suppose you throw it over on the right hand side?" "Yes "How far across the bridge had you got when you threw it? This may help the divers "We were a little more than halfway across "Who bought this auger?" "Martinez "Did you suggest the holes through the wall?" "He did "But the holes were bored for you because you wanted to see into the next room" "Yes," in a low tone "And why?" She burst out in a dash of feeling "Because I knew that a wretched dancing girl was going to be there with"— "Yes?" eagerly "With my husband" "Then your husband was the person you thought guilty that night?" questioned Coquentil "Yes" "You told M. Kittedge when you called for him in the cab that you thought your husband guilty." "Yes, but' afterward I changed my mind. My husband had nothing to do with it. If he had, do you suppose I would have told you this? No doubt he has misconducted himself, but"— "You mea' Anita?" It was a chance shot, but it went true. She stared at him in amazement. "I believe you are the devil," she said, and the detective, recalling his talk with M. Grite, muttered to himself, And now Pussy feeling that she could gain nothing against Oquenil by ruse or deceit, took refuge in simple truth and told quite charming how this whole tragic adventure had grown out of a foolish fit of jealousy. "You see, I found a pet tilt bleu on my husband's dressing table one morning—I wish to heaven he would be more careful—and I—I read it. It began 'Mon gros bebe,' and was signed 'Ta petite Anita,' and—naturally I was furious. I have often been jealous of Addison, but he has always managed to prove that I was in the wrong and that he was a perfect saint, so now I determined to see for myself. It was a splendid chance, as the exact rendezvous was given-9 o'clock Saturday evening in private room No 7 at the Anoumia. I couldn't go alone, so I got this man Martínez he was a perfect fool. I got him to take me because as I told you he didn't know me and being such a fool he would do whatever I wished. 'What day was it you found the petit belf' put in cappell It was Thursday. I saw Martinez that afternoon. "And you are sure it was his as home to bore the holes?" Yes he said that would be an amusing way of watching Addison without taking a scandal. It was the first never idea I ever knew him to have." Did you look through the holes at all? he asked. "No. I hadn't time." "Did Martinez look through the first hole after it was bored?" Yes but he couldn't see anything, as No 7 was dark. Then you have absolutely no idea who fired the shot. "Absolutely none." "Except that you think it wasn't your husband." "I know it wasn't my husband." "How do you know that?" --- "Him?" reflected Conquillé. "I won der why Anita changed her mind?" "I'm not responsible for Anita" answered Pussy with a dignified whisk of her shoulders. "You know a great deal about this young man who is in prison, he sug gested. "I know he is innocent. "I hope you can prove it." "Of course I can prove it!" she de- clared. "In Kittraidge an old friend, was arrested because he called for my things but I asked him to do that, it's absurd. I'm afraid it is not absurd as you think. You say he was an old friend. He must have been a very particular kind of an old friend for you to ask a favor of him that you know and he know would bring him under suspis- ion. You did not know that didn't you?" Go on I don't mind she said "I was not in love with M Kittredge. Please make that perfectly clear. He was a dear loyal friend, but nothing more." Was he enough of a friend to be jealous of Martinez? "What was there to make him jealous? Well," smiled Coquenil, "I can imagine that if a dear and loyal friend found the lady he was dear and loyal to having supper with another man in a private room he might be jealous. "The beat proof that M Kittredge would not be jealous of me is that he loves another woman." "The girl at Notre Dame?" "Yes." "But Martinez knew her too. There might have been trouble over her," ventured M Paul shrewdly "There was no trouble." "You never knew of any quarrel between Kittredge and Martinez? No words?" "Never." Coquennel now resolved to try a chance shot. He said impressively. "How about Kittredge a letters to you?" He watched the effect anxiously. "His letters to me" she cried, with a start of dismay while M Paul nodded complacently. "He never wrote me letters that is, not many—and whatever there were I—destroyed." Coquennel her keenly and shook his head. "A woman like you would never write to a man officer than he wrote to her and Kittredge had a thick bundle of your letters. It was only Saturday night that he burned them, along with that photograph of you in the lace dress." She looked at him in frightened open and, then with a gusture of half surrender. "For heaven's sake, how much more do you know about me?" "I know that you have a bundle of Kittrelgoa a letters here, possibly in that desk." He pointed to a charming piece of old mahogany inlaid with ivory. He had made this last deduction by following her eyes through these last touched minutes. "It isn't true. I—I tell you I destroyed the letters." And he knew she was lying. Coquenil went to the desk and examined it carefully. There were two drawers in a raised part at the back; there was a long, wide drawer in front and over this a space like a drawer under a large inlaid cover hinged at the back. He searched everywhere here, but found no sign of the 100 expected letters "Well," he said, with an air of dis appointment, "I did nothing here. Suppose we try another room" "Certainly," she agreed, and her face brightened in such evident relief that he turned to her suddenly and said almost regrettedly "Madam. I hear you are fond of gambling. You should study the game of poker, which teaches us to hide our feelings. Now, then, he walked back quietly to the desk. "I want you to open this secret drawer." A big tear of weakness and humiliation gathered and rolled down her cheek, and then still silent, she took a hairpin from her hair, inserted one leg of it into a thin hole quite lost in the ornamental work at the back of the desk, pushed against a hidden spring and prostrate a small retract drawer shot forward. In this drawer lay a packet of letters tied with a ribbon. "Thanks," he said, "I am sorry. And he took the packet from the drawer." didn't harm them, she mourned. You trusted to that drawer, he suggested. No no, I knew the danger, but I couldn't give them up. They stood for the best part of my life the tenderest, the happiest I've been a weak, wicked woman. Any secrets in these letters will be scurruptly respected, he assured her unless they have a bearing on this title. I know it then with tear stained eyes. I didn't tell you the truth about Kittlese and Marritz. There was to be between Paula. He speaks about it in his letters. It was out of the picture at No. 10. You know Marritz was a live her? I told it all. She told it very strictly. I told it all. She told it the same old story. We told it all with an tractable reef of the girl's girl. He said it was the most magnificent power. "And Kittieidge objected to it." "Of course he did, and they had a quarrel. It was the one of these letters." "Do you remember what he said?" "What yes." "What was it? She hesitated a moment and then, as though weary of resisting she re- plied. "He told Martinez that if he didn't leave this girl alone he would break his d—head for him." (To Be Continued.)

Quartet of Young Athletic Stars Afro-American Lads Lead on Relay and Teach Teams in Public School Athletic League of New York—Clifton Vester and Brother Two Fleetest Short Distance Runners Ever in Contest. In the Vester brothers, Lawrence Jackson and Percy Lee, Afro-Amorokaise are well represented in the Public School Athletic League of New York. Their record has sprinters of the first magnitude has been the wonder and admiration of athletic experts around New York many of whom now say that these young athletes have clearly demonstrated their capacity for the savest physical tests and for a long time they will neither be equalled nor exceeded by any of their class. Clifton Vester the midfielder spinner of public school No. 24 has demonstrated in the last two years that few athletes in the Public School Athletic league have anything on him either as a spinner or as a member of a relay team. The youngster and his older brother are two of the fastest short distance runners that ever competed in elementary school athletics and are idols among their fellows of the upper section of the city. With Lawrence Jackson and Perry Lee, both of whom are members of public school No. 24 track team, they are known in upper Harlem as the invincible quartet of colored sprinters. Clifton Vester has made an enviable record since he started to compete in the Public School Athletic league, his performances in the budget and junior classes being of a high order. He, like many colored athletes of note who have been members of public school teams, began his career in public school No. 80. Though he is now a pupil at public school No. 24, Vester earned most of his laurels at the former school. In 1958 Vester made his first apt purpose in athletics activities when he resumed to a call of Coach arr and a training for a field day which the school soon was to have. Coach arr who is a good judge of school boy athletes noted that he carried himself well and gave him special training. The results of his efforts soon took for a fortnight later Clifton took all the trials of the school into camp and won the muddget sprint in the closed games by a handsy margin Though he was coached in several open meets prior to the Last indoor championships, Vester failed to be placed in any of them. Coach Carr was not disbanded by the adverse showing of his charge and placed him on the ninety-five pound relay team. It was as a member of the relay that Vester showed his true form. Starting as first man he often gave his mates a lead and enabled them to ramp home early victories. In the in-game games of the Public School Athletic league in December 1908, Clifford brought a championship to his school by stuttling away from his clubs in the first relay and giving his mates a goal start. After taking the school to win the competition, Seymour sponored his THE OLD TIME RELIGION Waiting to Hear Something Fall We certainly will not be eaten or not will tresbe before some of them fall asleep the legal colored Republicans who are waiting patients to hear asleep fall it is said.

Unrehearsed Lines Net Goodwin, the actor, was once the hero of an amusing incident in the theater. In one of his parts he had to come on the stage with a coat over his arm and call out loudly "Uncle!

THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. It Was the Only One the Crank Made During the Game. At a whist club in Brooklyn was an old fellow who enjoyed the reputation of being a great crank, and his amdverations against his partners were so severe and his manners generally so bad that it was care, indeed, that he could get any one to play with him. One night, however, a man happened in from the west, and the avoided one promptly assailed him with a request to "sit in". The western man was about to comply when he was quietly taken aside by one of the members of the club, who told him the reputation of the crank. "I don't care" he said. "I can stand it, I guess." At the end of the evening he was approached one more by the curious member. "Well," said the member "how did you manage?" "Didn't he insult you?" "Why, no?" "Didn't he browbeat you?" "Not at all?" "Didn't he say anything?" "Nothing special. He only spoke once during the whole course of the game." "What did he say then?" "Why, I didn't get the cards out right in the last round, and he looked over at the very pleasantly and said?" "Why, you can't even deal, can you?" - Life A Tory's "Tio' A good story is told of the times of the first reform bill in England when the popular cry was 'The bill the whole bill and nothing but the bill. In those days the various hostilities along the coaching roads were patronized according to the political learning of the landlord. One night a lorry arrived at a certain inn and found in his horror that the landlord was a Radical. The next morning he was discovered that the water was of the same political faith. He had satisfaction. Upon paying his reckoning he omitted the expected tip. 'There sir said he is the bill, the whole bill and nothing but the bill.'

Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va. as second class matter SATI RIDAY APRIL 9, 1010 LIFE ADMINISTRATION'S DEFENSE Let fortune do her worst what ever she makes us lose as long as she never makes us lose our honesty and our toil be done. Pope Hon Ralph W Tyler Auditor for the Navy and who is from Ohio has issued a defense of the present administration. As he holds one of the most important positions that has ever been tendered to a naval officer he necessary) attestation whenever he issues an order to the Afro American navy I may be well to state that when President Taft amitted that he be keenly the criticism of the press made a national error in that he advised a host to press exactly where he was most vulnerable to his military armor and it will know that where to aim the gun is of necessity. Mr Tyler Mays In judging President Taft's Administration, it is on that it has had a few New Yorkers in favor of it, and that it has had a qualifier to it. An important point is that the officers who served in the administration was and that of every Negro and his need, but the just reason is that he is capable and his loyalty to the cause of the laws or his tax. Still however, it must be noted that political appointees alone constitute the only basis upon which to predicate the team of President Taft and his Administration. Mr Tyler is correct in his statement, but he should also be equally correct in his analysis of the critic names of the conservative colored man who have not made the appointment of colored men to political offices the sole basis of their criti issue of the distinguished occupant of the White House. He then indulges in an apology for the alleged short comments of his chief, which short comments are not alone along the line of his failure and disinclination to appoint colored men to office. Mr Tyler continues Regrettable though it he there in a real and fancied line of distinction between the whites and Negroes of this country President Taft in his every public utterance has shown that he is out of sympathy both with the real and fancied line of distinction However, this has not closed his eye to the existence of this line nor prevented his attempting an adjustment of conditions which will, he succerely hopes, eventually destroy every evidence of race distinction and race conflict. That he is sincere in this matter no Negro who known him, or correctly judges him will affirm to the contrary We call this a case of "playing fast and loose", of "galloping with the fox and running with the hounds." Personally and socially, President Taft can recognize the color line. Officially, he has no right so to do. He is sworn to recognize the civil and political equality of all men before the law. Yet it is admitted that he has not done so. He has permitted racial discriminations to be made in public buildings owned by the United States government. He has issued orders to the census enumerators through bureau chiefs that colored enumerators shall be assigned only to colored sections and has issued no orders that white enumerators shall be assigned only to white sections. He has thus destroyed the basis of equality that he is sworn to regenerate. Bell at 1 o'clock now, have you served these that nothings and they have assisted them. President Taft should have closed his eyes to the sensation of a color line when it came to his official dation and if he could not close them himself it would have been right and proper for him to have some cut. He is a socialist who is being dis- cussed as a Negro who is impatient for point of view. He is therefore uninterested in this particular and behind getting the administration may be best speaking that light which is necessary. He is in order to be discussing the matter and to apply the remedy he is discussing the subject from the standpoint of a Repub- lican who sees a radical departure from the principles of the party with which he is affiliated. President Laff does not need any credit for throwing the weight of his influence against the Marxist disaffronting law for the reason that he is a Republican and the law question must necessarily be at a disadvantage to every Republi- can in the country who is true to the party's things. Mr. Tavares says about President Taft just said there could have been a liability of his speech in facing such legislation. The trouble with President Taft is that he does not stand up on vital questions when the president of the session seems to want to action and his will is not to be appealed to. And Negro sentiment prevails at some of the places where he is going. For our part we are required to favor and com- President Taty who has been trained in the use of Rehabilitation in frames with a patient is now educated and how to the age Mr Tyler says If the Negro graduates of the Pres- ident will be at his Hampton Hw- ard University and William Frost be a university trust which he dearest qualified for and urged vigor- ously the widest might varied and the best possible education for the Negro perhaps if they are talent and sincerely interested in the race an- dancement will conclude that the in- formation exerted by the President for education will have a vastly more important bearing on the upfit of our ten millions of Negroes than a few hundred appointments of fellow or law degree could have President Ita'i was all right to hold elections of the places noted and we were not taken in our common designation of the authorities. The trouble with him that he is disposed to treat the hired people just as to treat the Indiana and provide to them and politics in handling them. All we ask is an equal chance to make our own way and we respect any barring rule or regulation that tends to restrict us in our Gold of usefulness on account of our race or color. According to Hon Ralph W Tyler a logic he is rapidly arguing himself self out or office. He then leaves the colored people in the United States to discuss the action of the administration in looking after the interests and welfare of those in Africa He says. If the Negro critics will stop and consider the deep interest shown and the efforts put forth by President Tafta Administration to preserve the independence and to provide for the permanency and progress of The Liberian Republic—thus affording an opportunity for the Negro to show and develop his capacity for self government—perhaps they will assume, and rightly, too, that the cause of the Negro is a matter of deep concern with the President. He continues "If the Negro critics, and those seekers for the temporary elevation to be found in political appointments will recall that the President, in his annual message to Congress, advocated the holding of a semi-continental celebration of the emancipation of the American Negro from slavery, in order that the race might show in concrete and assembled form the wonderful progress made in fifty years of freedom, perhaps they will agree to give him the credit he has earned for a sincere desire for race uplift President Fatt certainly deserved credit for his attitude in this matter. We are of the opinion that he erred though in suggesting that a commission be appointed to enquire whether or not a semi-centennial position should be held when he had and that it should be held. He seems to have been somewhat tender footed upon the subject and in fact told the congress of the United States that he was not so sure it himself. He therefore desired a commission to investigate the matter and report whether or not this was the best thing to do. In the meantime with Dr. Bohner I. Washington and President R. R. Wright are I freed to mark the occasion until the test time. I let you know that an official has been signed out a list of opinions it will be free to give to the semi-centennial position of the head it will be held in an official and a detritus of the parties managing the affair that the president felt meant well and did what he thought was best in the premises. Mr Tyler a correct when he says And also it must not be lost sight of when in forming a judgment of President Taft that in every measure policy or legislative act must be recommended by him to be fit the people of the United States as a whole the Negro as a part of necessarily beneficial and for we have a right in common with the whites to be grateful to. M Tyler mayo The fact that the Dean's trust retained his membership, on the Dean's Fund Board, a board having the management and disposition of a fund for New England education although he had not retired to a five-participation in the faculty something and boards save. Your corporation makes it possible that he be regarded in any other light than one who attends to a friend. And that he takes a keen interest in the work of the Dean's Fund Board in exile by his having had its members meet with him at the White House last December. No one argues that President Taft is afraid to the colored people to the extent of wishing them well, but he is no more of a friend than are thousands of liberal-minded white Democrats many of them living in the Southland and who show an interest in the welfare of the colored people. Mr. Taylor should know that every effort made to elevate and make more useful the Negro citizens benefits the public at large and every white man in the country is properly entitled to the privilege of the proper use of an advancement he says. This is the correct and proper view to take and it is very good argument too against the Negro's holding public office. These declarations must have been inscribed or else Mr Tyler could not have been induced to give voice to them. We take it that he is ready and willing to retire from the position he now occupies and without a mourn whenever his chief gives the nod and intimates that his further occupancy of the position is distasteful to certain Negro haters who look with envy upon the office of Auditor for the Navy. But Mr Tyler could not let this statement go without the proper modification and in the next few lines he comes back retraces his steps so to speak when he says That President Taft is desirous of having and means to see that the Negroes receive a fair and equitable political representation no one who is informed doubts. Not because of any possible bearing it may have on his future political fortunes but because he believes it their just right and due. This then indicates that Mr Tyler may test secure in the position that he holds. It indicates too that the other colored office holders of high degree will not be disturbed just now, but in what follows he admits that President Taft is shy in appointing any other colored man to a prominent office now held by a member of the race. This is how Mr Tyler states it "But Rome was not built in a day, and no administration was ever able to fulfill all its promises within a year from date. President Taft is sincere in his desire and aim to reduce race friction to the minimum, and increase the harmony between the races to the maximum. Criticism is not likely to dissuade him from his purpose to conserve, first, the interests of the whole people, without reference to race or color, and soonly, to conserve the interests of the classes without prejudicing the cause of the latter. Now then here is a task that an angel from heaven alone would be able to perform. It is how to do a thing that will surely cause friction in a manner that it will not cause friction. In this, President Taft yields up principles to expediency. His position is that of every liberal minded Democrat in the Southland who has no autopathy to the Negro. So far as we are individually concerned, when the question of politics or office is left out of the equation, one is just about as good as the other if Mr Tyler remembers Grover Cleveland, the first and only Democrat who has ever sat in the White House since the Civil War he will note that he stood upon higher and than that. He nominated Negro to office and he stood by his nominations. He did not defer to the race prejudice against them. In this he was more of a man so far as the Negro is learned than Mr Tyler portrays President Taft to be We find all over Virginia white men of Democratic persuasion giving voice to utterances which are just so strong as those which are not so evident Taft Mr. Taft Before criticising the dispensing war the race should at least afford consensuity. His appointment to Emmet H. Scott an ideally baked and splendidly equipped man is one of the Liborian Commissioners was without just caused by some members of the race but by the whites. The first most important term appoint made by the President was that of Robert H. Terrell to a place on the municipal bench and that appointment although a reappointment was made in the face of stronomous opposition and strange to say the opposition was entirely on the part of Negroes the people he thought to resist and abuse. And that opposition was not based on any lack in skills. Terrell of ability equipment of character but was prompted by a mean pious spirit. If appointments of Negroes to office must be met with opposition from within the race the race is at least innocent if it expects white men to be unanimous in the affirmative for Negro appointments. Taken as a whole there is much in President Taft's first year for on engagement for the race and the specific cause I mention stand as in controversial proof of his friendship for the race" Mr Tyler is in error if he thinks that the Negroes opposed the appointments in question. Some of the disappointed jealous ones may have done so but the race in general has appreciated every appointment of colored men that the distinguished Ohioan has seen fit to make. Mr Tyler's appointment was a good one although he was antagonized by certain race leaders whom he had antagonized in his day to the white business in his local. We return our charge and that to President Taft regards the Negroes of this country in the same light that the average southern regards him as a child in the race of life as a valuable animal as an asset that will yield a rich return if properly controlled as an Indian as a ward of the nation and never as a political equal entitled to all the rights and privileges of American citizenship and to with his arm uplifted I am an anping men This is our criticism of the disturbing instigated occupant of the White House, and this is why we have said it is a crime vain that when it confronted us to the race question, he hasn't put his bonnet on strongly. We would not God that we were mistaken. He put Hon Johnb Dancy out of a political job to put Hon H. H. Johnson in the army job and both are colored men of ability. In the meantime, white men are swapping into the political offices on every side and from Maine to Texas they are holding lucrative positions of the most influential kind. Mr Tyler admits that President Taft is shy about putting colored men into positions formerly held by white men and he declares it to be on account of the racial antipathy existing in some parts of the country concerning the Negroes. He should know that teacup of lessening race know that instead of reasoning the prejudice in this particular it has served to increase it for the reason that it has the sanction of the first gentleman in all of this land. White people admire man of fixed convictions and with a back-bone sufficiently strong to back them up Colored people are similarly affected and President Taft's predicament with reference to thinking colored men is of his choosing As Mr Tyler portrays him we would just as soon vote for a liberal minded southern Democrat as we would support a hesitating vacillating Ohio Republican. The following telegraphic report from Washington under date of the 4th inst., seems to explain the situation The Laft administration is about to defend itself aggressively before the people of the United States. Convinced that the public mind has been impressed by attacks of various kinds upon the administration in many parts of the country, and that the criticism cannot be permitted to pass unaworned without injury to Republican prestige, the party leaders have decided to "carry the war into the enemy's country. President Taft is declared to be ready and anxious to assume the offensive. The opening guns will be fired next Saturday night, in Washington by the President in person and in Chicago by Attorney General Wick ersham. It is evident that to Hon Ralph W. Tyler Auditor for the Navy, has been entrusted the task of answering the Afro American critics of the administration. From the scant material he has at hand, he has done very well for a beginner. He makes no promises for the future further than to search the average voter and office seeker to hope for better times and better things. To our mind, President Fafta a republicanism means nothing to the average citizen of color. His general personality though leads one to expect much from him as a man. Our biggest comes from a member colleague of the Republican Party an organization pledged to, the reco- gnition of the colored man as a main brother and, the equal going about the country officially reco- giziting the existence of the color line and declining to appoint American officers to office because of their race color and previous condition of servitude. Colored folks are mighty forgiving in their disposition and it may be that a vigorous canvass on the part of the office holders and non-office holders will work a change among the black cohorts. Dr Booker T Washington could do a world of good right through here in this the administration a hour of need Thy spirit independence but no share THE BLAnder IN MARYLAND. Columbia came throughout the country should report over the action of the Maryland legislature in passing the Diggs bill disfranchising citizens of color in all state and municipal elections. For thirty years colored men have vainly endeavored to get a decision from the nine judicial phrases at Washington better known as the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. They have repeatedly ignored every point of law made in an effort to obtain a ruling upon these vital questions affecting the disfranchising of the colored people in the Southland. Now the Democrats of Maryland have had the nerve to squarely bring the question to an issue and in a way that will compel a ruling by the U.S. States Supreme Court. If there is a man woman or child who knows that the Supreme Court will contain this species of legislation because he will be undecided. This act is the part of the Maryland Legislature in the direct result of previous rulings of the United States Supreme Court. It has divorced the state from the nation in all matters pertaining to the Negroes that to be consistent it should sustain the contents of the Negrohaters of Maryland. When it sustains the contention though it will find that it has ruled worse than it could possibly know and it will open up an avenue of technical questions that will plague the court for a half century or more. We have no fear of the result however if the Fifteenth Amendment can be ratified by legislation then the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery is subject to similar treatment. Somebody is riding for a fall if not today then tomorrow and if not tomorrow then the day there after. --- THE BROWNSVILLE FINDINGS The action of the Court of Enquiry in the Brownsville investigation in declaring that colored soldiers shot up Brownsville Texas will hardly occasion any surprise on the part of those who have followed the trend of its investigations. It seemed that it was a case where the evidence had been prepared before hand. One side had the money and the influence, and the other side had only its energy. We were under the impression at the time that the members of the court were named that its duty was to as certain if any or all of the members of Companies. B, C and D. of the Twenty-fifth Infantry should be reinstated. Its action seems to be to uphold the action of President Roosevelt, Ex-Secretary of War Taft and the Negro-hating tier of Democratic senators who were desirous of humiliating and injuring one of the bravest bodies of men who ever shouldered a gun or fired a rifle. That all or the men could not have been guilty, even viewed in its worst aspect goes without question and yet the innocent were punished with the alleged guilty. It is a gratifying thing to know that the colored people can stand this further evidence of the injustices now everywhere prevalent in this country. The affair has now been removed from the arena of public consideration, but the memory of the affair will rankle in the bosom of the average citizen of color for many years to come and it may be that it may take another radical form in the attempt to wreak revenge upon somebody at the polls.

BITTERLY ASSAILED VATICAN Calonel Roosevelt declares He Will Be Used In No Way to Disparage Any One and Deplores "Religious Antisemitism." Rome April 6. Former President Roosevelt's wish that the Vatican incident be regarded as personal to him has not been restated and he is intensely annoyed. About the first thing he did was to call off the reception to the American colony. This action as stated was for directly to the issuance of a statement by Rev B M Tipple attacking the Roman church. Mr Roosevelt does not propose to be used by any one to the disparagement of any one else. Mr Tipple called upon Mr Roosevelt and then made a statement in which he gave the Vatican incident a world wide significance saving. I had made no arrangements to speak at an church or clerical organization in Rome. I have received a number of gentlemen of all religious faiths who have called at my rooms or at the American embassy. Under the circumstances I have requested the American ambassador not to hold the reception which he had intended to hold on Wednesday afternoon. As regards all efforts by whomever made to bring about and inflame religious animations because of what has occurred in connection with the Vatican and myself I can do no more than to refer to the emphatic statements contained in my open letter to Dr Ilyman Abbott. All that I have said I desire to reiterate with my whole power. Ambassador Leishman had arranged the reception that Mr. Roosevelt might meet Americans in Rome regardless of their faith on the neutral ground of the embassy. The appearance however of the Tipple statement displayed many American saints who showed an intention of not attending the reception if the Methodists of the organization represented by Mr. Tipple were to be present. The matter was carried to Mr. Roosevelt who after hearing both sides asked Mr. Leishman to cancel the whole affair and this was done. The negotiation caused by Mr. Roosevelt a decision not to be received by the pope upon terms made by Cardinal Merry del Val continues unabated. The press is filled with columns on the subject. Papers of all shadows of political citation except the clerical organs support Mr Roosevelt a attitude Some violent anticlerical sheets intimate that the affair may result in the down fall of the papal secretary. These papers are apparently trying to arouse a great anticlerical demon- stration at the railway station when Mr Roosevelt leaves the city Wednes- day night. 1910 APRIL 1910 Sen. Flm. Tm. Wed. Thm.

I have in my possession a prescription for nervous irritability, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, 'Dilling memory and liam's neck, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, of the follicles of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study or men and I am convinced it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and disgusted with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOTTOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr A. E. Robinson, $855 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. $26.75 NEW ORLEANS, LA., $26.75 AND RETURN VIA SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
