THE RICHMOND PLANET GERSHOM (CONTINUED) OR THE STORY OF THE NEGRO. Lucian B. Watkins. But, in the course of events of these lives, There came the serpent of a subtle will To bind in spell of sacrilegious quise Of friendship's kind and sympathetic hand, These vale-taught people of simpli-city Too pure for any knowledge of a harm. When "knowledge of the good and evil" bore Its fruit in these the lives of people grown To know the meaning of the curs name Of bondage from a will of liberty. The sack-cooth and the ashes of their grief Spoke in the language of a mighty pow'r. They came to know oppression and the brand Of shave beneath a master. Here they knew Experiences most varied in breadth. Extending from the blackest sins below Unto the whitest virtues of above. They fought in battle for their masters' lives, And gave their blood and strength to save the cause; The records or their masters' history Do bear their deeds immortal in the earth To grace the pages of the human world. Yet thru it all, loved liberty was deemed A thing apart from any need of theirs; The sacred human attribute of soul Wast not to them accredited. They were As brothers to the ox of labor held. But mysteries of mysteries were wrought. And angel-hearted friends rose up and breathed The mustard seed of faith into the cause. The leaven of a will divinely great. Then one of the oppressed rose 'up and gave His life upon the gallows for his race; He hung betwixt the earth and heaven's blue. So like that other One who died to save By hanging on the cross of bitter death. Whilst trembling earth didst drink His precious blood (To Be Continued.) WHITE MAN SENTENCED Gets Eighteen Years For Killing Colored Girl. Hampton, Va., April 17.—After deliberating for fifty minutes, the jury in the Elizabeth City County Circuit Court yesterday returned a verdict, finding Earl A. Vandyke guilty of attempted assault upon Rebecca Chandler, a nine-year-old colored child, and fixed his punishment at eighteen years in the penitentiary. Judge Clarence W. Robinson, who presided over the case, refused to set the verdict aside, and immediately pronounced sentence on the convicted man. A stay of thirty days was granted the prisoner, so that his counsel may appeal the case to the Supreme Court. CHANGE TERMS OF WILL Mistake of One Word Affects Estate of $250,000. Cincinnati, April 15.—A mistake by which the word "her" was made to read "my" affects the disposition of an estate of $250,000 in Cincinnati. It is now in the Common Pleas Court here for decision. Robert Gordon, a rich colored man, died in 1883, leaving a will directing that one-half the rents and personal property should go to his wife Ella during her life, and the other half to his daughter, Virginia Ann Jackson, wife of a colored attorney here, and that after the death of the wife and daughter the whole property should go to the children of the daughter, "providing, of course, that the children should be those living at the time of her death." In copying the will somebody made the words "her death" read "my death." The Title Guarantee and Trust Company, which is named as one of the executors, asks the court to decide it. Child Wanted.

Ashburn, Ga., April 15.—The news of the killing of two negro men near Amber, about four miles north of here, reached this place today. Later on in the day warrants were sworn out by two negro women charging five prominent white men with lynching. The negroes killed were Albert Royal and Charley Jackson. The verdict of the coroner's jury was delivered sealed, and nothing is known of its action. The trouble is said to have started over an alleged criminal assault near here about two weeks ago. Charley Jackson, one of the negroes, was arrested at the time, charged with criminal assault on a white woman, but was released on bail. The other negro. Albert Royal, is said to have signed the bond of the accused man. The two negroes, it is said, began to openly boast of the deed. The killing is said to have followed. Brownsville. The final decree in the Brownsville case permits only fourteen of the discharged soldiers of the twenty-fifth infantry to re-enlist, presumably through their ability to prove their innocence. It would be interesting to know just what kind of evidence these fourteen men presented to prove their innocence, inasmuch as the proof of innocence is the most difficult of all proofs to establish and is not required by any civilized tribunal. It is guilt and not innocence that must be proven. Had Mr. Roosevelt's original order been allowed to stand, not even these fourteen men would have received justice.—Yonkers New York Standard.

E. Church. H. T. Kealing, A. M., editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, of Nashville, Tenn., undertook to tell a highly appreciative audience last Monday night, 'How Much Should a Man Welg?' He succeeded admirably well at the task. His lecture was highly entaining, and instructive, and those who paid the price were well satisfied with the investment. He came here upon the invitation of Rev. E. H. Hunter, who has proven himself to be one of the ablest financiers this section has ever seen in this tenomnational work here. His success in steering entertainments of this kind has attracted much attention. Prof. Kealing will always be a welcome visitor in this city. LANGFORD WINS FIGHT Knocks Out Jim Barry in the Sixteenth Round. Los Angeles, April 14.—In a fight which demonstrated anew the ability of Sam Langford, of Boston, and added to the reputation of Jim Barry, of Chicago, only for gameness and ability to stand punishment, the Boston "Demon" sent his white antagonist to the mat for the final count in the sixteenth round at the Vernon arena today. It was a vicious go from start to finish, with the negro well in the lead after the first six rounds. From the tenth, in which Barry twice went down for the count of nine, until the sixteenth, when a straight left to the chin ended the combat, it was one-sided. Langford landed almost at will, and a knockout appeared only a matter of time. Barry surprised the ringside crowd with the strength he displayed, despite the terrific punishment, and a rally in the fifteenth inspired his backers with the hope that he might outlast Langford. While the men did not weigh in before entering the ring, it was said a difference of 30 pounds in weight favored the white fighter. Barry's weight was given as 196 and that of Langford as 166. In the clinches the white man was far the stronger of the two, and he was cautioned by the referee several times for rough tactics at close range. The pugilist went at one another viciously at the sound of the gong for the first round. There was fast fighting at close range in the second, and both men were bleeding at the mouth at the close. A ROUGH BATTLE. In a clinch near the end of the third round, Barry almost threw Langford through the ropes. From then until the eighth, the milling was a mixture of terrific slugging, rallies, and infighting, Barry throwing the negro around roughly in the clinches, and undergoing severe punishment whenever they fought at long range. Several times during the eighth and succeeding rounds, the men were hooted for wrestling. Langford showed the utmost good nature. "Stop your tickling," he admonished during a clinch; "you can't win that way." In the tenth the negro executed a couple of ring tactics. He suddenly threw the white man against the ropes, and catching him on the rebound landed a terrific swing flush on the jaw. Barry dropped for the count of nine. Barry's left eye, cut open early in the fight, was almost closed by that time, and his cheeks were puffed. Blood flowed in a stream from his nose and mouth. The last four rounds were marked by a succession of slugging matches. It was during one of these hard rushes in the sixteenth round that Langford caught his almost exhausted opponent with a straight left to the chin and ended the combat. A Card of Thanks.

"Jim Crow" Car Law Up to the United States Supreme Court. Washington, D. C., April 20, 1910. Editor of The PLANET: The case of J. Alexander Chiles vs. C. & O. Ry. Co. has reached the U. S. Supreme Court, and that august tribunal now has it under consideration. Next to the disfranchisement laws, the "Jim Crow" laws of the South, are of vital importance to the Negro. In a most forcible and pointed argument, Lawyer J. Alexander Chiles presented the case on Monday, April 18th, to the court, seven members being present; the Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Harlan, White, McKenna, Holmes, Day and Lurton. The vacant chairs those of the late Justice Brewer and Justice Moody, being ill. In the recollection or some of the attacks of the court, no case of such importance has ever been presented by a Negro lawyer, and in but few cases has the court displayed such attention as was manifested, during the argument. For nearly two hours, Lawyer Chiles, addressed the court in behalf of the rights of ten millions American citizens of color, the whole time being consumed in the presentation of law, and a more convincing argument we have never listened to. He acquitted himself with credit, and with honor to the race. The case comes up from the State of Kentucky, and is to test the law as effecting inter-state passengers. A favorable decision is hoped for and should be prayed for. The prayers of our fore-fathers, in slavery, were answered through Lincoln in emancipation, and in this article may I ask that those who read it, and who believe in the efficacy of prayer, that in their daily prayer, they will ask God's guidance of the hearts of the Justices, towards a righteous decision, and that the ministers in our churches may do like wise in our worship on Sunday, April 24th. It is of vital importance to us as a race, and the termination of this important case means, not that conditions remain as they are, but for better or worse. A decision is expected during the next week.

Case of "Pink" Franklin Now Being Heard in Supreme Court Washington, April 20.—An alleged infringement of the rights of negroes in the South came before the Supreme Court of the United States, in an indirect way today, when argument of the "Pink" Franklin murder case was begun. Franklin was convicted of the murder of H. E. Valentine, a constable, who was trying to arrest him, and sentenced to be hanged. He appealed to the Supreme Court. A few weeks ago former Attorney-General Bonaparte filed a brief in behalf of Franklin, claiming that the South Carolina act under which the warrant for Franklin's arrest was issued was one which "attempted to reduce the plaintiff in error to captivity." Mr. Bonaparte did not appear today. John Adams, one of the colored counsel for Franklin, explaining that the former Attorney-General was "unavoidably detained." According to Adams, Franklin shot the constable as he entered his house at night, without knowing that he was an officer. He contended further that Franklin was justified in resisting arrest on a warrant issued under an unconstitutional law, such as he claimed the "agricultural contract law" to be. The argument will be continued tomorrow. Mr. Kit Pettis, of Newport News, en route to Chase City, Va., called on us. Prof. H. T. Kealing, A. M., editor of the A. M. E.

D., Pastor, Residence: 10$8 E. Leigh St., Richmond, Va. 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. Last Sunday was a dreary day, dampness and rain abound. People as a rule stayed home; thousands of seats in churches were vacant. We often wonder why are there so many dry weather Christians. A little sprinkling from the clouds sometimes after Baptism would be good. Bad weather is often a scrutinizing test. What would have become of America if Gen. George Washington in colonial days had failed to discharge his duties, because of rain, snow and ice? It would be well for the christian world today to take lesson from Gen. Washington's trip across the Delaware, American victory over the British is in great measure due to loyal soldiers, who fell upon the enemy unaware in times of dreary weather. A certain captain of a colored soldier company, once asked one of his men, why was he absent on a certain night. The soldier responded: "Because of the hail and sleet." The captain angrily retorted: "Don't you know a true soldier don't stop for rain, snow, hail and sleet?" The next time you are absent when ordered out, I'll send a squaw for you. Let us stop for a moment and think what does General Jesus think of His soldiers, who lay in camp in disobedience to orders, because of the weather? Many of us want to be in front rank, Brigadiers, Colonels, Captain, Lieutenants, etc. Do you think He will ever select one who is afraid to brave the storm? Many times timidity cut us short of many a blessing. One or the greatest blessings that he heavenly charity shed upon the Americans during the Revolutionary War, was at a time when they confronted the perils of the sea, amid a cold stormy night. A great victory was achieved by them without lost, and consternation was thrown into the camp of the enemy. I am inclined to the opinion that more increase is made to the Devil's rank during inclement weather than at any other time. The christian should remember that Satan never sleeps or slumbers; always ready and active to take advantage. He co-webs mostly during inclement weather and makes great parades in fair. Services at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday was about as well as is consistent with the usual custom of the christian people. While the different departments felt the lethargic condition, which prevails among most christians in stormy weather; yet the Sunday School was fair, Supt. Prof. B. H. Peyton did his best in making everything lively and instructive. The church services were fairly attended and the Pastor preached a nice sermon. The choir sang delightful music. Don't forget the Wednesday night services. Come out rain or shine, and send us praises to God and ask for other blessings. Pres. John W. Howard wants to see every member of the B. Y. P. U. Friday night. Come out on time: 8:30 o'clock, exercise will commence. Be on time. Demands upon the services of our Pastor in assisting others seem to grow as time runs on. He has had to say "No." to many persons, and institutions, calling for sermons, addresses and speeches, during this year. But he will try and find time to fill the following: Lecture on the 25th, at Franklin, for the Norman Industrial Institute; May the 4th, preach in Roanoke, at the unvailing of costly paintings of the Crucifixion, at the High Street Baptist Church; May the 8th, he will preach the anniversary sermon of the Old Fellows, of Richmond; May the 15th, he will preach the anniversary sermon of the Theban Beneficial Association; May the 29th, he is to be the chief orator of the day at the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, at Atlanta, Ga. And then in June, he is to enjoy the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Fifth Street Church and the same of his ordination to the ministry. The Pastor will preach Sunday morning. At 3:30 o'clock, communion. Come out on time. At night, Pastor will preach. By request, the following letter is published: Mrs. Josie Graham: Dear Madam—Please publish this statement.

Military Court's Unjust Findings The Military Court of Inquiry has given out its finding in that Brownsville, Texas, affair which has been such a nightmare to some people in authority in this country who have devoutly tried to saddle it on the Negro soldiers. Yes, they have labored assiduously and insidiously and continuously, in season and out, day and night, to make the responsibility for that episode stick to the great Negro fighters, but all efforts, and they have been many and strenuous in that direction, have been utterly futile. The dogged persistency with which this last court, composed of high-titled military dignitaries from captain to lieutenant-general, has sought to build up a case just anyhow, out of one that frustrated and staggered into silence the great Roosevelt regime, was worthy of a better and juster cause. This puissant military court forgot or ignored the fact that the white commissioned officers who had command of the troops of the Twenty-fifth had been absolved from all blame touching that affair. To give their findings in the case some air of justification or tolerance the court proceeds to abuse the non-comissioned officers and the men of the line. Sacred history furnishes another example of the crying need of testimony to insure conviction. When the Great Nazarene was shifted from court to court until he was adjudged finally by Pilate, it was for no other reason than to give the Jews a chance to hatch up some sort of evidence that would partially stand the test before the blas Sanhedrin. The outcome of Jesus' many trials was that he was found guilty. But guilty of what? Not one of the courts before which he appeared was able to find in Him any guilt. The deep-prejudiced Jews yell out their answer as to the Lord's crime or guilt by shouting. Away with Him! crucify Him! Devilish Pilate, the synonym or cowardice, sentenced the Son of Man as being guilty of the crime with which he had been charged by the Jews, though the charge had been unsupported by an iota of reasonable testimony. He, then, a carping craven and an uncompromising hypocrite, called for a basin of water to impress upon the Jews that he was washing away the stain of the part he had played in condemning an innocent man without proof and that on them would fall the responsibility for the act. But Pilate had played falsely with justice, and the day of retribution was reserved for him, and he got it. The Military Court of Inquiry has played in the Brownsville affair a role similar in its general aspects to that of Pilate. Pilate played to the prejudice of the power of the Jews, whom he thought might work his undoing politically. He pandered to prejudice at the expense of justice, and the world now executes his weakness and will ever do so. The Military Court's findings were to be the last word in the matter, and it threw away its one great chance. Before Roosevelt's ghost or shadow, which is looming upon the political horizon of the affairs of this country again, that court fell down, ingloriously fell down. The court was unable to fix the responsibility on any soldier, yet it proclaims to the world that Negro soldiers shot up the Texas town. It either overlooked or was insensitive of the ridiculous position it placed itself in to declare that the evidence before it showed that the soldiers were guilty and yet could not show which soldiers were guilty. How in the name of the least common sense can a court say that a certain man committed a certain crime unless it proves that he did commit it? This Court of Inquiry has been caught squarely as being incompetent to weigh unprejudicially the stuff it had before it and render its findings in accordance thereto. — Nashville, Penn, National Baptist Review.

The confessional box was one not in use owing to repairs in the wall behind it. These repairs had necessitated the removal of several large stones, replaced temporarily by lengths of supporting timbers, between which a person might casually pass. Coquellil had taken advantage of it to effect Alice's escape. The girl had entered the confessional and had then slipped out through the open wall. And the priest was Tignol! "I scored on him that time," chuckled Coqenil, rubbing away at the woodwork. "M. Matthieu!" called Groener. "Would you mind coming, hero a moment? A most unfortunate thing has happened. Look at that!" And he appended the door of the confessional. Matthew started in blank surprise "Not your cousin" Greener added "Yes my cousin is run away" It makes me sad. Will you join me in a glass at the tavern? His companion agreed to this and a few moments later the two men were seated under the awning of the Three Wise Men "Now" began Greener. I'll explain the trouble between Alice and me. Her mother made one mistake that ruined her life and practically killed her Still What mistake was that? Inquired Matthelle with sympathy Why碧 married an American who was—the loss we say about him the better. The point is Alice is half American and she is crazy about American men. That's why I had to send her to Paris five years ago "You don't say." "And now it's a man to prison. As soon as Mother Boumnet wrote me about it I saw I have to take the girl near again. I fold her this morning she must pick up her things and go back to Russia with me and that made the trouble. she knew I had my eye on her so she got this priest to help her "You mean that Father Anse w helped her to run away" gasped Matthieu. Of course he did. You saw him come out of the professional didn't you. Did you see his face? Certainly I did. He posed within ten feet of me. I saw his face distantly. Have another gives asked the wood, artery or shall we go on? Let's where. Oh of course you don't know my plan. I will tell you. You see I must find Alice. I must try to save her from this folly for her mother's sake. Well I know how to find her. How well you find her. I tell you as we drive along. Council assembled Gleicher in a cab to a telegraph office where the latter sent a message. When they Kraut ALICE WAS GOOD! came out Coqenil gave a quick signal with his hand. A moment later Papa Tignol entered the office. They proceeded to a doorway in the Rue Trouchet, which doormer entered after informing the disguised detective that he would return in a few minutes. "All right! madded M. Paul! I'll be patient. And as the woodcarver disappeared he signaled Tignol to surround the house with the assistants he had brought in a cab. "He's trying to lose us," said the old fox, burrying up a moment later. "There are three exits here. "Three?" "There's a passage from the first courtyard into a second one and from that you can go out either into the Place de la Madeleine or the Rue de l'Arade. I've got a man at each exit." "It's Mme Coqelle's tea house!" cried Coqenil. "Put the chauffer with one of your men in the Rue de l'Arade." cade bring your owner man here, and well double him up with this driver "Now" went on Coquennil to Tignol, fyou and I will take the exit on the Place de la Mudette. They went to an imposing entrance with stately points on the white stone door and the glimpse of an imposing stairway "To think that I had forgotten this house" muttered Coquennil. "Remember that blackmall case." whispered Tignol, "when we snuck the countess out by the Rue de FArc cade?" Coquennil nodded. "How about that telegram?" The old man stroked his rough chill. The clerk gave me a copy of it, all right, when I showed my papera. Here it is, and much good it will do us: "Dibule. Nice Shile Chargin. Special biyacac amateur-bouillon danger must have dahara easily Groser area impossible. FELIX. "I see," nodded Coquenil. "it ought to be an eagle cipher. We must look T. K. "NO NONESEE OR YOU'LL BREAK YOUR ARM." up Dumbos better go in now and locate this fellow. Look over the two courtyards. Finally Tignol returned and reported all well at the other exits. No one had gone out who could possibly be the woodcarver. "Suffering gods," suddenly muttered M. Maul "this coming." The glass door at the foot of the stairs opened and a handsome couple advanced toward them—a woman young and graceful the man a perfect type of the dashing ballerina. Coquett could see no resemblance between the woodcarver and this gentleman with his smart clothes. The woodcarver's hair was yellowish brown, this man's was dark, tinged with gray. The woodcarver wore a beard and moustache, this man was clean shave. Finally the woodcarver was short and heavier than this man. The gentleman opened the door of a waiting coupe. The lady caught up her silk skirts and was about to enter where the coquett brushed against her as if it accident and her phrase fell to the ground. Stupid刃刃” exclaimed the gentleman as he reached for the purse with his gloved hand. Coquille seized the extended wrist in such fierce attack that before the man could resist he was helpless with his left arm bent behind him in twisted torture. “No nauseae or you’ll break your arm,” he carved his captive Tignol blew a shrilil quomous “Hip off this glove I want to see his hand Open it up. No! I make you open it. There, thought so. Now then, off with that glove. Ab! he cried as the bare hand came to view “It’s too bad you couldn’t hide that long little finger. Ignor quick with the handcuffs! There I think we have you safely landed now. M Adolf Groener!” The prisoner leaning close to Coquille, whispered “You poor fool!” CHAPTER XVI GROËNER AT DAY JUDGE MAUTENILLE sat in his office at the Palais do Justice. "Is M. Couquent yet?" he asked of his clerk. "Yes, sir. He was waiting." "Good. I will see him. The work withdrew and ushered in M Paul. "Sit down, motioned the judge. "Coquem I am tired but I am going to examine this man of yours tonight. Remember, you have no standing in this case. The work has been done by Tignol, the warrant was served by Tignol, and the witnesses have been summoned by Tignol is that understood." "Of course." "That is my official attitude," smiled Hauteville, unbending a little. "I needn't add that between ourselves I appreciate what you have done, and I shall do my best to have your services properly recognized." Coquem bowed "Now then," continued the judge, "have you got the witnesses?" "Yes." "And the girl?" "I went for her myself. She is out side." "And the prisoner?" "He's in another room under guard." "The things he wore? Old you find them." The detective nodded. "We found that he has a room on the fifth floor over Mme Cecilia's. He keeps it by the year. He made his change there, and we found everything that he took off the wig, the beard and the rough clothes." "Capital! Capital! I want you to be present. Coquilli, at the examination." "Ah, that's kind of you!" exclaimed M Paul. "Not kind at all. You'll be of great service. Gat those witnesses out of sight and then bring in the man." A few moments later the prisoner entered, waiting with hands manscled. He still wore his smart clothes and was as coldly self possessed as at the moment of his arrest. The clock settled himself at his desk and prepared to write. "What is your name?" began the judge. "I don't care to give it." "Gfooner, you are lying. Tell me if you have money to employ a lawyer?" "I whib no iswrat." "That is not the question. You are under suspicion of having committed a crime and." "What crime?" asked the prisoner sharply. "Murder. We think that you shot the billiard player Martinez." Both judge and detective watched the man closely as this name was spoken, but neither saw the slightest sign of emotion. "So I ask if you will provide a lawyer?" "No," answered the accused. "Then the court will assign a lawyer for your defense." "It's quite useless," abrugged the prisoner. Then the magistrate resumed sternly: "You were arrested, sir, this afternoon in the company of a woman. Do you know who she is?" "I do. She is a lady of my acquaintance." "The judge snorted incredulously" "You don't even know her name?" "Groeneer said Hauteville sternly, "you say this woman is a person of your acquaintance. We'll see." He touched a bell and as the door opened. "Mme. Cecille," he said. A moment later there swept in a large woman of forty five with bold, dark eyes and hair that was too red to be real. She sat down. "You are Mme Cecille and you keep a tea room on the Place de la Madeleine" "Yes, sir." The woman weutgon to relate that the man before her had come into her establishment that afternoon and provailed on a woman at a table, to whom he had introduced himself, to go out and drive a few blocks with him in a carriage. He offered her 500 francs. He assured her that he would not require her company for over seven or eight minutes. She accepted the offer. She knew that he had never met the woman before. Now the woman in question was brought in. She had been traced by Tignola's men. She corroborated what Sime Cecelle had said, and both hurried out. "Now sir what have you to say?" demanded the judge, facing the pristone "Nothing." At this the judge leaned over to Coquell, and after a few low words he spoke to the clerk who bowed and wout out The judge resumed "Do you also deny that you have a room rented by the year in the house of Mme Cecile?" I know nothing about such a room declared the other "I suppose you didn't go there to change your mother." "Certainly not." "Until Jules said Hauteville. The clerk reappeared with a large leather bag "Open it, directed the magistrate "Spread the things on the table Groener what about this wig and false beard?" Groener walked deliberately to the table "I've never seen these things before I know nothing about them," he said The judge looked up and said quietly to the guard "Take off his handcuffs, coat and shirt boots and trousers." The guard idleved M'foul whispered to Hauteville "Take off his garters and pull up his drawers. I want his legs baro below the knees" "It is an outrage" cried Groener "Silence, air" glared the magistrate Coquill stood by in eager watchfulness as the prisoner's lower legs were uncovered "Ah! he cried in triumph "I knew it" "There." He pointed to an egg shaped wound on the right calf, two red semitrums in the white flesh "It's the first time I ever marked a man with my teeth" "What made that mark on your leg?" asked the judge 1 I was bitten by a dog" "It's a wonder you didn't shoot the dog." flashed the detective "What do you mean?" retorted the other Coquille bent close black wrath burning in his deep set eyes, and spoke three simple words that seemed to smile the prisoner with sudden fear. "Oh, nothing Raoul!" So evident was the prisoner's emotion that Hauteville turned for an explanation to the detective, who said something under his breath "Very strange! Very important!" reflected the magistrate, then to the accused. "Now I want you to put on the things that were in that bag" Both the judge and Coopenil gave satisfied nods at this sign of a breakdown but they rejoiled too soon, for by a marvelous effort of the will the man recovered his self mastery and calm. "After all," he corrected himself, "what does it matter? I'll put the things on." He denned the boots and garments of the woodcarver. "There" said the prisoner when the thing was done. But the judge shook his head. "You've forgotten the board and the wig. Suppose you help make up his face," he said to the detective. M. Paul fell to work ceaselessly at this task, and, using an elaborate collection of paints, powders and brushes that were in the bag, he presently had accomplished a startling change in the unrealizing prisoner. He had literally transformed him into the wood carver. "If you're not Groenner now," said Coqnell, surveying his work with a satisfied smile. "I'll swear you're his twin brother. It's the best disguise I ever saw. I'll take my hat off to you on that." "Extraordinary!" murmured the judge. "Groenner, do you still deny that this disguise belongs to you?" "I do." "You haven't a young cousin known as Alice Groenner?" "No." During these questions the door had opened silently at a sign from the magistrate, and Alice herself had entered the room. "Turn around!" ordered the judge sharply, and as the accused obeyed he came suddenly face to face with the grit. At the sight of him Alice started in surprise and fear and cried out. "Oh, Cousin Adolf!" "Am I talking to you with your cousin's voice?" Pay attention—tell me—am I? asked the prisoner. "Alice shook her head in perplexity. "It's not my cousin's voice," she admitted. The prisoner pulled off the beard and wig. Now the girl retracted her original identification. "And it's not your cousin," declared the prisoner. Then he faced the judge. "Is it reasonable that I could have lived with this girl for years in so intimate a way and been wearing a disguise all the time? It's absurd. She has good eyes. She would have detected this wig and false beard. Did you ever suspect that your cousin wore a wig or a false beard?" he asked Alice. "No," she replied. "I never did." "You see" he triumphed to the magistrate. "she can't identify me as her cousin for the excellent reason that I'm not her cousin I tell you I'm not Groener." "Who are you then?" demanded the judge. "You have no business to ask unless you can show that I have committed a crime, which you haven't done yet." Hero "Coquenil phispered to the judge" "Certainly" nodded the latter, and, turning to Alice, he said, "You may go." The girl left the room, followed by M. Paul. Coquenil soon re-centered, followed by the shrimp photographer, who was evidently much depressed. The shrimp turned to the prisoner and started forward accusingly "That is the man," he cried. "That is the man who choked me." "One moment," said the magistrate. "What is your name?" "Alexander Godin" piped the photographer "On the night of July 4 you attacked a man passing along the balcony of the Hotel des Etrangers? Is that correct?" The photographer put forth his thin hands, palms upward, in mild protest. To say that I attacked him is—is a manner of speaking. The fact is he behe'—Alexander stroked his neck ruefully "I understand he nearly choked you. The marks of his nails are still on your neck?" "They are sir" "Is this prisoner the man?" "I'll swear to it." "Good. Now stand still. Come here Greeron. Reach out your arms as if you were going to shake this young man. Put your left hand on his neck with the nails of your thumb and fingers exactly on these marks. There is the thumb right. Now the first finger good. Now the third. And now the little finger. Ab" The nails of the prisoner's left hand corresponded exactly with the nail marks on the shrimp photographers neck. CHAPTER NAIL THIRTY MIDDLEW WORDS GROENELI was subjected to a se very ruse a campaign in but he maintained ignorance of any assault on the photographer and of the stolen books of kittrage He angered contemptuously at Haute ville and coquett. The judge finally had the guard put hand offs on the prisoner prior to ordering him to the Sante prison. Now the noose show ed furious anger. "Mark my words, Judge Hautelet he threatened hereby you have or ordered hand offs put on a prisoner for the last time" "What do you mean?" But almost instantly Groenel had become calm again "Groenel' demanded the magis trate impressively we are coming to an unpleasant part of this examination It is unpleasant because it forces a guilty person to betray him self and reveal more or less of the truth that he tries to hide." The prisoner looked up incredulously "You say it forces him to betray himself?" "That's practically what it does." "Why?" "Because if you go guilty we shall know it and you go on confidently looking for certain links now missing in the chain of evidence against you On the other hand, if you are innocent we shall know that, too, and if you are innocent, Groener, here is your chance to prove it. We make the accused register his own guilt or his own innocence with his own words." "Whether he wishes to or not?" The judge opened a leather portfolio and selected several sheets of paper ruled in squares. Then he took out his watch. "On these sheets," he explained, "Mr Coquonil and I have written down about a hundred words, simple, every day words, most of them, such as 'house', 'music', 'tree', 'baby', that have no particular significance. Among these words, however, we have introduced thirty that have some association with this crime, words like 'Ansonia', 'billifards', 'pistol'. I shall speak these words slowly, one by one, and when I speak a word I want you to speak another word that my word suggests. For example, if I say 'tree' you might say 'garden'; if I say 'house you might say 'chair'. Of course you are free to say any word you please, but you will find yourself irresistibly drawn toward certain ones according as you are innocent or guilty. "For instance, Martinez, the Spanlard, was widely known as a billiard player. Now, if I should say billiard player' and you had no personal feeling about Martinez you might easily, by, association of ideas, say 'Spanlard,' but if you had killed Martinez and wished to conceal your crime then when I said 'billiard player' you would not say 'Spanlard,' but would choose some innocent word like table or chalk. That is a crude illustration, but it may give you the idea." "And is that all?' asked Groener, in evident relief. "No. There is also the time taken in choosing a word. If I say yen' or 'umbrella' it may take you three quarters of a second to answer 'ink' or 'train,' while it may take another man whose mind acts slowly, a second, and a quarter or even more for his reply. Each person has his or her average time for the thought process, some longer, some shorter. But that time process is always lengthened after one of the critical or emotional words—I mean if the person is guilty. Thus if I say 'Ananisa' to you and you are the murderer of Martines it will take you one or two or three seconds longer to decide upon a safe unanswering word than it would have taken if you were not the murderer and spoke the first word that came to your tongue. Do you see? "I see," shrugged the prisoner, "but it never would carry weight in a court of law." "Never is a long time," said the judge. "Wait ten years. We have a wonderful mental microscope here, and the world will learn to use it. I use it now." "Do you really think "Greener asked presently, "that if I were guilty of this crime I could not make these answers without betraying myself" "I'm sure you could not." "Then I stood the test you won't believe me innocent" The magistrate reflected a moment "Yes I should think you innocent" "Let me understand this," laughed the prisoner "You say over a number of words, and I answer with other words You note the exact moment when you speak your word and the TARRON "YOU HAVE OVERHEATED HANDS PRESSED ON A POWERFUL FOR THE LAST TIME exist moment when I speak prime then you see how many seconds elapse between the two moments is that it "That's it only I have a watch that marks the fifth of a second. Are you willing to make the test?" "Suppose I refuse?" The unmistakable face burdened "If you refuse today I shall know how to force you to my will another day. Did you ever hear of the third degree Groener' he asked shalt." After all Groener said carelessly what does it matter' go ahead with your little game. If rather amuses me' The test began. Hinted the speaking the proposal words and bidding the stop watch while counsel sitting beside him wrote down the answered words and be prescise time intervals. First they established Groener's urgage or normal time of reply when there was no emotion or mental of fort insult. The judge said milk and Groener at once by assent of ideas said cream the judge said smoke Groener replied fire the judge said early Groener said "hate the judge and water," Groener answered river the judge and "tobacco" Groener answered "pipe." And the intervals varied from four fifths of a second to a second and a fifth, which was taken as the prisoner's average time for the untroubled thought process. "He's clever" reflected Coquenni "He's establishing a slow average." Then began the real test the judge going deliberately through the entire list, which included thirty important words scattered, among seventy units important ones. The thirty important words were: 1. Notre Dame; 2. eye hole; 3. watchdog; 4. photographer; 5. gulliotine; 6. Champs Elysées; 7. false beard; 8. Brussels; 9. Gibellin 10. sacristan; 11. Villa Montmorency; 12. raoul; 13. dreams, 14. anger, 15. lju fifen; 16. detective; 17. Brazil; 18. canar bird; 19. fire, 20. red sky; 21. assasin; 22. boots; 23. Mary; 24. coaching party; 25. Japanese print; 26. charity bazaar; 27. footprints; 28. Margaret; 29. red hair; 30. Fourth of July --- They went through this list slowly word by word, with everything carefully recorded, which took nearly an hour; then they turned back to the beginning and went through the list again, so that to the hundred original words Groener gave two sets of an awering words, most of which proved to be the same, especially in the seventy unimportant words. Thus both times he answered "darkness" for "light," "tea" for "coffee" and "clock" for "watch." There were a few exceptions, as when he answered "salt" for "sugar" the first time and "sweet" for "sugar" the second time. It was different however, with the important words, as Hauteville pointed out when the test was finished. In over half the cases the accused had answered different words in the two questionings. "You made up your mind. Grooner. I said the judge as he glanced over the sheets, "that you would answer the critical words within your average time of reply, and you have done it, but you have betrayed yourself in another way, as I knew you would in your desire to answer quickly you repeatedly chose words that you would not have chosen if you had reflected longer; then in going through the list a second time you realized this and improved on your first answers by substituting more innocent words. For example, the first time you answered "hole" which I said "anger," but the second time you answered "baum" night when he escaped from the Ansonia, and he has it now. Soel! The judge observed the prisoner carefully and nodded in agreement. There was no doubt about it. As he walked Groenner was limping noticeably on his left foot! Dr. Duprut was waiting for them in his laboratory, absorbed in recording the results of his latest experiments. A kind oyded, grave faced man was this, who, for all his modesty, was famous over Europe as a brilliant worker in psychological criminology. Entering the laboratory, they found themselves in a large room, quite dark. The prisoner leaped the red column as if the frightened heart were trying to burst the tube with its spurring red jet. The doctor put his mouth close to Coquennil's ear and whispered, "It's the shock showing now, the shock that he held back after the body." "There! Do you know these faces?" As he spoke there appeared the fake photograph that Coquennil had found in Brussels—Alice at the age of twelve with the smooth young widow. "Look at the girl in this false picture which you had cunningly made in Brussels!" cried the judge. "Who is she? There is the reason for your The prisoner was seen limp and white, sprawling over his hair. "He has fainted," said the doctor. Hauterille hurried to the open window, there listening. Just below him in the courtyard he made out the fasting helmet of a mounted garde de Paris. And he caught some quick words that made him start. "A messenger from the prime minister," muttered the judge, "you urgent business with me." (To Be Continued.) mer" You said to yourself, "Note that not a good answer because he will think I am thinking of those eye holes so I change it to "hammer," which means nothing." And when I said "watchdog" you answered first "scent and then 'tall'; when I said "Breat you answered first 'ship' and then 'coffee'" You tried deliberately to get as far away as possible from associations with the crime. "Not at all," contradicted Grooner "I made the changes because every word has many associations, and I felt lowed the first one that came into my head. When we went through the first a second time I did not remember or try to remember the answers I had given the first time." "Ab but that is just the point," insisted the magistrate "in the seventy unimportant words you did remember and you did answer practically the same words both times. Your memory failed only in the thirty important words. Besides, in spite of your will power the test reveals emotional disturbance. It is true you kept your answers to the important words with in your normal tone of reply, but in at least five cases you went beyond this normal time in answering the unimportant words. "The words are unimportant, and so are the answers. "Then explain this. You were an answering regularly at the rate of one answer in a second or so when suddenly you hesitated and climbed your hands and wailed four and two-fifths seconds before answering feathert to the simple word hat." The magistrate leaed nearer. Yes and perhaps you were inwardly disturbed by the shock and strain of an answering the previous word quickly and unconcernedly. I did not warn you of that danger. Do you know what the previous word was? "No." "It was guillotine." "Ah!" said the prisoner absolutely impassive. "And why did you waver and wipe your brow and draw in your breath quickly and wait six and one fifth seconds before answering violin when I gave you the word more." "I'm sure I didn't know. Garner started at the podge." "Shall I tell you why, Garner?" It was because your brow was ending your head through the brow of your whole macral machinery, caused by the shock of the word before it, the terror that went through you when you answered wrenched work to charity bargain. The prisoner bounded to his feet with a hoary hair. My God you have no right to torture me like this! His eyes were staring. "Sit down, under the judge. The prisoner dropped back weekly on his chair. "You can yourself a great deal of trouble. I am thankful he be confessing your part in this time. No answer me." With an offer the man straightened up and met the judge's eyes. "I feel faint, he gospel. Would you give me a little beauty?" The guard put a flask to the prisoner's lips and Grooner took several swallows. "Thanka! he whispered." "I told you it wouldn't be amusing" said the investigator grimly. Fither you confess or we go ahead "I have nothing to confess." "I know what was the matter with you just now With a tilt of his former insolence the prison answered. Look at that clock. It after it. You've had me here for the hours and I've had no food since now." Coupled was a skeptical. Several times he fancied he had caught Groomer's eye fixed anxiously on the clock. Was it possible the fel lew was trying to gain time? But why? As the detainee puzzled over this there shot through his mind an idea for a move against Groomer's resis- tance. He turned quickly to Huntville and said. I think it might be as well to let him have some supper. The judge directed the guard to take the prisoner into the outer office and have something to eat brought in for him." "Well, he asked when they were alone 'what is it?" Council talked earnestly while the magistrate listened. "Positively possible," reflected the judge. "Anyway its worth trying" and he gave the necessary orders to his clerk. "Let Tignol go," he directed. "Tell him to wake the man up if he's in and not to mind what it costs. Tell him to take an auto." CHAPTER XVIII THE WORKING PICTURE ATTENTION to detective noticed that the prisoner glanced anxiously at the clock. It was a quarter post. "We will have the visual test now, and it will take. Take the prisoner to Dr. Impress a laboratory." he directed the guard. "I hope this goes off well," whispered the judge uneasily. "You don't think they have forgotten anything?" "Trust Pina Tamai to obey orders," replied Coquenil. "Ah!" he started and gripped his companion's arm "Do you remember what I told you about those alleyway footprints--about the pressure marks? Look!" and he pointed ahead excitedly. "I know it! He has gout or rheumatism--just touches that come and go. He had it that The judge observed the prisoner carefully and nodded in agreement. There was no doubt about it. As he walked Grooner was limping noticeably on his left foot. Dr. Duprat was waiting for them in his laboratory, absorbed in recording the results of his latest experiments. A kind oed, grave faced man was this, who, for all his modesty, was famous over Europe as a brilliant worker in psychological criminology. Entering the laboratory, they found themselves a large room, quite dark, save for an electric fanat at one end that throw a brilliant circle on a sheet stretched at the other end. The light reflected from this sheet showed the dim outlines of a tiered amphitheater before which was a long table spread with strange looking instruments. "Everything is ready" said Dr. Duprat. "Is this the—er, the subject?" He glanced at the prisoner Hauvelle nodded "Please bring him over here. That's right—in front of the lantern." Then he spoke gently to Groener. "Now, my friend, we are not going to do any thing that will cause you the slightest pain or inconvenience." For some moments he studied the prisoner in silence "Interesting very interesting," murmured the doctor. Especially the lobe of this ear! I will leave a note about it for Bertrand himself! Please turn a little for the back of the head. Thanks! I must study this head when we have time. Very remarkable. We must have these off! he pointed to the handcuffs. Also the coat Don't be alarmed. There Now, I want the left arm here above the elbow. When these directions had been carried out Dr Duprat pointed to a heavy wooden chair "Please sit here!" he went on "and slip your left arm into this leather sleeve" "Why must I sit in this chair?" asked Greuer. 'Why do you want my arm in that leather thing?' Some pictures of persons and places will be thrown on that sheet and, as each one appears I want you to say what it is. Most of the pictures are familiar to every one. But the leather sleeve? "The leather sleeve is like the stop watch, it records your emotions. Sit down." Greuer hesitated. 'I want to know how it records my emotions.' The magistrate answered. There is a pneumatic arrangement he explained by which the pulsations of your heart and the blood pressure in your artist's are registered automatically. Now then. I warn you if you don't sit down willingly well you can better sit down. Then greuer sat down. The presser was shouted You surely recognize this picture Look. The desk and the fountain, the Pinteres grids. "The Place de la Grondelle" answered Grocer authority. The picture changed to a view of the Grand Open House and at the same moment a point of light appeared in the headboard back of the chair. It was shaded so that the prisoner could not see it and it placed a graduated white dial on which was a glass box. bees long, the white box, the commuter bus, the table and the not moved regularly up and down and down in steer beats, and a compass understood that this column was registering the beating of Grocer's heart. Standing behind the chair the doctor the magistrate and the detective at the same time watch the pulsating column and the pictures on the sheet but the prisoner could not see the column. "What is that?" asked the doctor. Greer answered at once. "The Grand Open House. Good. Now another." "The Bastille column." "And this." "Notre Dame church. So far the boats and come uniformly about one in a second for the man's pulse was slow. At each beat the liquid in the tube shot up six inches and then dropped six inches, but at the show of Notre Dame the column rose only three inches, then dropped back and shot up seven inches. The doctor nodded gravelly, while Cougenil with breathless interest, with a morbid fascination, watched the heating of this red column. It was like the heating of red blood. "And this As the picture changed there was a quiver in the pulsing column a hesitation with a quick fluttering at the bottom of the stroke then the red shot up full nine inches, M Paul shot at the shot and saw a perfect reproduction of private room No 0 in the Anselma. And she as they looked two holes appeared in the wait Then a dim shape took form upon the floor more and more distinctly until the dissolving lens brought a man's body into clear view a body stretched face downward in a dark red pool that grew and widened, slowly staining and wetting the polished wood "Groener," said the magistrate, "do you recognize this room?" "You are lying, Groener," accused the judge, "There." He signaled the lantern operator, and there leaped forth on the sheet the head of Martinez, the murdered, mutilated head, with shattered eye and painted cheeks and the greenish death pallor showing underneath, a ghastly, leering cadaver photographed at the morgue. "Who is it?" demanded the judge. "I don't know," declared the accused. Again the picture changed. "Who is this?" "Queen Victoria." Here suddenly, at the view of England's peaceful sovereign, Groener seemed thrown into frightful agitation. Up and down in mad excite- nept leaped the red columns as if the frightened heart were trying to burst the tube with its spurring red jet. The doctor put his mouth close to Coquennil's ear and whispered, "it's the shock showing now, the shock that he held back after the body." "There! Do you know these faces?" As he spoke there appeared the fake photograph that Coquennil had found in Brussels—Alice at the age of twelve with the smooth young widow. "Look at the girl in this false picture which you had cunningly made in Brussels" cried the judge. "Who is she? There is the reason for your killing Martines." Now the prisoner's pulse was running wild, faster and faster. "Martines knew the truth" he went on, "Martines held your secret. How had Martines come upon it? The whole slim of this investigation has been to get the secret and we have got it! Grooner, you have written this secret for us in words of terror. We know what Martines knew when you took his life, we know the story of the medal that he wore." "I know nothing about this man or his medal." dung back the prisoner his breast, being back the present. "No! Then you will be glad to hear the story. It was a medal of solid gold awarded Martinez by the city of Paris for conspicuous bravery in saving lives at the terrible charity baar zaar fire. Have you forgotten the details of the charity baar fire?" "I am not interested in the subject," answered the accused. "Ah, but you are, or you ought to be. Hundreds burned to death—think of that! Cowardly men trampling women find children! Duchesses burned to death! Rich women burned to death! Think of it Groover, and—" he signaled the operator "and look at it!" As he spoke the awful tragedy began in one of those extraordinary moving pictures that the French make after a catastrophe. Here before them leaped redder names than ever crackled through the real charity baskets; here were women and children pertinently in more average torture than the actual victims endured were here horrs piled on horrors. Cougnih had seen this picture in one of the boulevard theaters, and straightway after the precious nine second clew of the word test he had sent Tupa Tignol for it posthaste. If the mere words "charity bazar" had struck this man dumb with fear what would the thing itself do—the resulting ghastly thing? Then suddenly the tension snapped, the prisoner sprang to his feet and, tearing his arm from the leather sleeve, he faced his tormentors desperately. "No. no, no!" he shrucked "You dogs! You cowards!" "Put the bandcuffs on him!" ordered Huntville. "What does all this prove?" the prisoner screamed in rage. "Nothing! Nothing! You make me look at disgusting, abominable pictures, and why shouldn't my heart beat? Anybody's heart would beat if he had a heart." The judge went on in a tone men and cold as a knife. "Before you go to your cell Grooner you shall hear what we charge against you. Your wife perished in the charity bazaar fire. She was a very rich woman, probably an American who had been married before and who had a daughter by her previous marriage. That daughter is the girl you call Alice. Her true name is Mary. She was in the fire with her mother and was rescued by Martinus but the shock of seeing her mother burned to death and perhaps the shock of seeing you refuse to save her mother!" "It's a lie" replied the prisoner. "All this terror and anguish caused a violent mental disturbance in the girl and resulted in a failure of her memory. When she came out of the fire she did not know her own name. She was helped. And she was a great heirs' heart. If she lived she inherited her mother's fortune if she died this fortune reverted to you. So you destroyed her identity, you gave it out that 大公 "YOU DOO YOU COWARDS!" she, too, had perished in the flames, and you proceeded to enjoy her stolen fortune while she sold candles in Notre Dame church." "You have no proof of it!" "No? What is this?" and he signaled the operator whereupon the lights went down and the picture of Alice and the widow appeared again. "Now watch the woman, your firmals accomplish watch her carefully" The smooth young widow faded gradually while the face and form of another woman took her place. "Now we have the picture as it was before you satisfied it. Do you recognize this face?" "No, answered the prisoner, but his heart was pounding. "It is your wife. Look!" Under the picture came the inscription, "To my dear husband Raoul, with the love of Margaret and her little Mary."

TURN OF 16,000 VOTES Republican Candidate Was Charged With Bossiam and Accused in Insur- ance Investigation Rochester N. W. April 20 The Democrat swept in without the slightest insinuation of the result of the congressional campaign in the special election to representative in the Thirty-second district between James B Haven's Democrat and George W Aldridge. Republican is an indication Mr Haveng has defeated Mr Aldridge by a plurality. Inasmuch as the late Republican Petitioner Republic can carried the district in 1908 by 10167 the result shows a change of 16002 votes. Mr Haveng carries the city of Rochester by 374 when in 1908 Mr Perkins carried it by 621 which records a change of 961 votes. The result tallies almost to a dot with that in the Fourteenth Massachusetts district where at a recent special election Eugene N. Fuss Democrat overturned a Republican plurality in 1998 of 14,000 and won by 600 making a change of 20,000 votes. This special election marked the culmination of the liveliest campaign ever waged in Monroe county. This district elected its last Democratic congressman in 1890. Mr. Havens is for tariff reform while Aldridge stood on the tariff policies of the Republican national administration. What gave the campaign its fever heat however was what the Democrats called the moral issue the question of dissent, and of the personal fitness of Mr. Aldretta to sit in the house of representation. The evidence that Mr. Aldhidge received a check for $100 from a representative of the insurance companies for the alleged purpose of influencing legislation was an argument his opponents kept before the people in the form of a photograph far simile of this check made to every one of the commissioners in the district. Also it has been known we all along that Mr. Aldhidge has refused to accede to the urging of the National Clothiers as soon as that he put him self in regard as having a reduction of the work he should be undertaking that he stood to the principles of his party. Then too Mr. Aldhidge has received letters most of them begging Where do you stand on cannism? Other demanded that Mr. Aldhidge declare immediately against cannism or take the consequence.

PRICE OF HOGS SLUMP Decline of $1 in Two Days Due to Big Shipments Chicago April 20 Recent heavy arrivals of hogs are collected in a decline in prices of $1 in the last two days. A few weeks ago hogs sold at the highest since the Civil War thus attracting heavy shipments in view of which the present reaction is not considered remarkable.

They differ on several burning questions but unite in a strong dislike for O'Flaherty (which is not the gentleman's name). The same O'Flaherty has a positive gift for an manipulating votes and is capable of looking after a larger band of the "fairful" than any other Montreal politician. "It's man like O'Flaherty who give this city a bad name," said Riggs warmly. "He's got no principles at all. In fact, he doesn't think of anything but getting his man in." "That's so," responded Briggs. "If I had a conscience as elastic as O'Flaherty's I'd make it into a ruthless trust."—Argonaut.

Declares Privately Endowed Institutions Are a Menace Because of Undemocratic Teaching. President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton university started hundreds of Princeton graduates who listened to his speech delivered at the sixty fifth anniversary banquet of the Princeton Alumni Association of western Pennsylvania at Pittsburg. So radical were his views that the banquets refused to believe their care until President Wilson had verified his quotations as correct after the feast. In no unmistakable terms President Wilson criticised the Protestant church of the country as caring more for pew rent than for the saving of souls declared that colleges, such as Princeton, supported by private contributions, were a morace rather than a help to the country on account of their undenominational teachings and in the same breath lauded state educational institutions. He touched lightly upon the Princeton graduate school and intimated he was not in favor of accepting any donations to Princeton to which there was "a string." After the banquet, in response to a question as to whether he had been correctly quoted President Wilson said "While these views of mine may ap- pear socialistic, I have said just what I mean. The time has come for an awakening in college life and education Ferremont thinkers of the country agree with my sentiments and the sooner these sentiments are spread broadcast the better for the country at large. In the course of his banquet speech President Wilson said, "The colleges are in the same dang- orous position as the churches I hope that the last thing I will ever be capable of will be casting a shadow on the church and yet the churches the Protestant churches at least have dissociated themselves from the people. They serve certain strata con- tain visible uplifted strata and ignore the men who need to dire. They have more regard for pew rents than for soul and in proportion as they seek the respect of their congregations to lift them in esteem they are lowering themselves in the whole scale of Christian endeavor. "The colleges are in the same class looking to the support of wealth rather than to the people. The state university is being lifted in popular team and the privately endowed institution is being lowered. The future is for the state university and not for the privately endowed one. The state university is constantly sensitive to public opinion to the opinion of the unknown man who can vote. "Most of the masters of endeavor of our day have not come from the colleges but from the great rough and ready workers of the world. College men serve the non-college men do you realize that?" No class can serve America. The great value of America does not come from the seas of learning but in a murmur from the hills and the woods and the farms and the factories and the arts calling on and gaining volume until it comes to us the voice from the homes of the common men. Do these murmurs come into the corridors of the university* I have not heard them. Steel Trust Provides Relief For Men The United States Steel corporation has adopted a plan for glitter financial aid to the men injured in its plants and assists in providing to the families of those who were killed in a坠灾 at work the plan was ratified at the meeting of presidents of subsidiary companies and will go into effect May 1.

Freea Carmack Blayer. Colonel Duncan H. Cooper convicted a year ago in Nashville Tennessee on a charge of murder for the slaying of former United States Senator Carmack and admitted to twenty years in prison will go free. His son Robin concluded on the same charge at the same time and similarly sentenced, will have to stand trial again. This article came in a decision by the supreme court of Tennessee on the appeal, the Cooperers from the conviction in the trial court and in a pardon for Colonel Cooper immediately granted it Governor Paterson. The supreme court affirmed the verdict of guilty in the case of Colonel Cooper, but reversed the lower court as to the same Robin. The decision in the case of Colonel Cooper would have meant that the aged defendant must go to prison had not the governor intervened. Governor Patterson, in pardoning Colonel Cooper, said, "Being thoroughly familiar with the record, having read all the testimony and testified to certain facts within my personal knowledge. It is noother desirable nor necessary to delay action for pattition to be presented, asking executive clemency. "In my opinion, neither of the defendants is guilty. They have not had a fair and impartial trial, but were convicted contrary to the law and evidence. "The proof showed that Robin Cooper killed the deceased and that D.B. Cooper did not fire a shot. Without reflection upon the court, it is unacceptable to my mind and renoungent to every principle of justice at a man should be found guilty of murder who was not in a conspiracy to kill and who in fact did not kill."

Mr Crews thought that if Miss Peterson's "Yes" was worth $350,000 his Yos" ought to be worth a tenth of that sum. He brought suit for $35,000. Mrs. Smith a defense was that she had not married Smith for his money. Judge Pinckney intimated that he held a contrary view. "I do not see why a woman should marry a man on his deathbed as Mrs. Smith did," he said. Cow Dead: Tafta Mourn "Mooley, the pet cow and pure milk provider of the White House is dead.

What is that which we can all make, but which is never seen after it is made? A how. If food is scorched in the cooking remove the pan from the stove and place it in a larger pan of cold water. Then place a dish towel over the pan. The towel will absorb all the scorbe- taste from the steam, and when placed on the table there will be no taste of the scorcheling.

We have a field in our town to alfalfa stalks. I just know the colony comes and goes where I raise my chicks. A year ago last summer I noticed that as room as I gave the chicks free range they would seek this field and spend hours to the growing alfalfa, particularly when it lassomed ready for cutting. By close close I found that they are the toes, toes and purple buds ravenously and certainly seemed to thrive on the food. I tried soiling them and seed in my nursery pen and it was wonderful to see how the chicks enjoyed it well. Fuzzy fellows just from the incubator. This set me to thinking. When last winter came on I housed 100 pure stuff Gochin pullets in a fairly roomy and comfortable house. The large hay barn was stored to the roof with alfalfa and millet hay. From the former the leaves and dried blossoms still green in hue, fell in masses of fine fragrant litter, useless to the cattle and horses which only ate the buffler stems. All winter long I used this alfalfa chaff for litter in my houses, bedding the floor deep every day.

I give the credit to all of us especially as some close neighbors with warm homes, one of them heated, who bought patent egg-making foods protein and blood meal in a goo quanties and who have been born and fed green bone all white, with oyster shells, mica grit and cut clover got next to no eggs at all. In fact the one who has the heated chicken house did not average three eggs a week and the other barely got enough for family use. One has a flock of you brown leghorns and the other 20 pure larded flocks. In past winter eggs from my old hens have been few and far between. It was the pullets that laid the eggs but not only did the hens lay last winter but want to set just as if it was summer weather. I broke up as many as a dozen broody hens last January. In the face of facts like these I naturally give the credit to affalfa.

'Chicago Tribune' 血 APRIL 23. 1910 LESSON TEXT MATTEN 2011 Mem ory verses 23-24 PLACE Someone in Leavens on the way to Jerusalem. Suggestion and Practical Thought. Our last lesson was a discussion of doubt—honest doubt and dishonest doubt. We board our Lord after highly praising John who had proved his readiness to follow the right as fast as he received it turn with stern upbraiding to the action and lamentation who had proved themselves willing to receive the right though brought to them in such different ways as by John and Christ. Our present lesson carries the same theme; the disease sing the most important of all subjects the rejection or acceptance of the Saviour. Rejecting Christ When did Christ speak the words we are to study? Matthew would seem to imply that he spoke them in midstly after the coming and going of the messengers from John the Baptist. Hot Lake (10 13 16 21 22) reports almost identically the same words in connection with the return of the seventy more than a year later. What were the things that Christ upbraided? The cities of Galilee where in most of his mighty works were done? Three are named as samples Chorazin, probably about one mile north of the upper part of the Sea of Galilee Bethsaida a city situated by the Jordan where it emplies into the Sea of Galilee from the north and Capernaum, our Lord's own city to which he removed from Nazareth and where he wrought many mighty works. Why did Christ reproach these cities? Because though given so many opportunities, they had not repaired. That was why Christ preached and worked miracles to bring men to repentance. With what cities did Christ compare these favored towns of Galilee? With Tyre and Sidon Phoenician cities on the Mediterranean coast to the north west. Sidon was a very ancient city and Tyre, its offspring was in Christ's day the chief commercial city of Palestine and probably a large port to Jerusalem. Also with Sidon the city on the Dead Sea destined with Oomorrah in the days of Abraham. Receiving Christ, Vol. 2.2 Christ then passed from denunciation and warning to joyful thanksgiving. What was the occasion of the transition? At that time should be translated RV at that season. Like counsels the following words with the return of the seventy they are a prayer of re- folicing over the favorable reception accorded them. Perhaps the same thoughts were stated in the return of the twelve weeks of the chapter 2 of Matthew. Peace and We have studied the Christ and the power of those that dispise him. He discovers ones with a fun and joy of the occasion of those that will bear it. He invites that will bear it. To when she is in the station ad dressed* In the first place to all There was not of the occasion of that wide world. Had it not the Saviour said a little to the host hid these things from the wise and prudent* Spurgeon. In the second place to all that labor and are heavy laden. The describe the burden of humanity both a trivial and a heavy those that are worn by those less toll and those that in silence and ob- security are bearing loads that no one knows about are alike invited to Jesus. The poor under the load of poverty admires under the weight of guilt business and is asking under heavy respect for those all are in included in the process of invitation. All men are more than all men are by nature the children of wrath all men are are laboring. It is our pursuit of earthly happiness all those may consider that we are invited Prof Archibald Macdonald. What are these weary men invited to do? Simply to go to Jesus. The Greek is stronger than our ling- lish and a little harder to me all weary and burdened. And the rest of us going to Jesus is—I will go to Jesus. But what is the use that Christ will give? We promise to stop there and lose the force of the message. In the first verse the Physician puts his door to receive his patterns on the following verses he presents for them to take the one part of the message about the remainder of the life going to a great doctor and going away again only to fling his body into the fire. Principal advice is that Christ gives commands of the prophethip. Learn it and take its voke openly. The last help is to be trouble for children for them to inspire them with spurts and joy to hear their burdens for themselves and not be difficult to bravely. I think "Perhaps today nothing is more necessary than to maintain the protest of personal convictions against the bold and large assumption of science and philosophy. Man's riches are to be estimated rather by the fewness of his wants than the greatness of his possessions. Panama Mourns Loss of Obaldia People, Shocked by Unexpected Death of Chief Magistrate, Turn to Mendoza For Guidance and Are Giving Him Their Support Resume of Negro Statesmanship in the United States. BY N BARNLEI I DODSON The death of Don Jose Domingo de Oblahna president of Panama which occurred on March 2 and the second end of Dr Carlos V Mendoza to the president, resal some interesting facts to the part which Negroes have played in national and state affairs in the United States. One of the most striking instances in this connection happened in Louisiana in 1871 when our own Pinckney Benton Stewart Pinckney back who is still living, was on bar 1871 elected president pro tem of the state senate and also benton gerner to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Oscar Dunn Mr. Pinchback was noting governor of Louisiana during the impeachment trial of Governor Warmoth from Dec. 1872 to Jan. 13, 1873. He was also nominated for governor but withdrew in the interest of party peace and was elected congressman on the same ticket. He was chosen senator Jan. 15, 1873 but after a hot debate which lasted for three years he was not allowed to be seated. The vote was thirty-two to twenty nine. He was, however, given the pay and pledge of a senator. B. Bruce served as sergeant at art of the Mississippi legislature and on July 3, 1875 was elected United States senator taking his seat in that August but March 4 and serving until March 3, 1881. In West Virginia at the present time J. C. Tullmer holds the position of state legislator. And so we might go on to enumerate many more exceptional examples in which the Negro has proved his worth and shown his ability as a statesman. Dr. James A. McKinley the new pres- ident of Iowa is a Negro the ac- kewest leader of the Liberal party. He is a self made man who by his own efforts and perseverance has been the most influential men in the country. He is a nated lawyer who has always taken numerous interest in political affairs. In most cases he battled on the 18th morning for the post ten years he has been a leading president. Men- dazan has issued the following pro- vinient statements: P. Nothing in the past allusion on the Isthmus has been for prison to a slave name. The people of Indonesia have been convicted with the death of the president who was looked upon as a great organizer and who had just completed plans for the development of the country. The conservatives and the partisans of the late president are giving their support to Mendizana.

"There may be something in that, commented the sheeriff grudgingly. I remember one I think I ran into who was a heap smarter than any other of his countrymen that I ever saw. He used to work as cook for Brady at the blue Moon mine. Brady had all kinds of trouble with cooks and the fellow he had there before the Chink was probably the worst of the bunch Brady picked him up at Phoenix, where he had gone to buy some supplies. He was a tall raw boned chap about forty five years old, dark enough for a greaser, and with a long under lip that hung down like a motherless colt. He goes up to Brady and says, "I heard tell down to the 3Y Diamond ranch that they was wantin' a cook up to the blue Moon mine, so I just pulled my freight to strike the job. Know if it's so" "Why, yes," says Brady "I'm manager of the Blue Moon Can you cook?" "Yes," says the chap, "I can cook, if you ain't too particular. I ain't fond of cookin', but I can do it. I can say beef, make a tolerable saltyratus biscuit and a middink' fair pie outen most anything. But I ain't enjoyed cookin' much since I reformed. I used to be as bad as any of 'em, but I got religion with a fellow I was herdin' sheep with four years ago." "Well," says Brady, "I guess we can give you a trial. I've got some more business to attend to before I start back to the mine, so if you hang around here for a spell I'll meet you in a couple of hours. What might your name be? "They christened me Gustavus Malne, says the chap,'but them as knows me always calls me the Don Why I dunno there ain't no foreign blood in me. "All right Don says Brady, laugh in,' take care of yourself and I'll see you later." 'When Brady came back he found that the new cook had been takin' care of himself in a regular rip-scorn' in kind of way. He was an drunk as a lord, and if it wasn't that they were desperate hard up for a cook at the mine, he'd have called all beta off right there. But he allowed he'd take a chance on him, holested him into his saddle, and they started off. For the first two miles they went slow; then, as the Don grew a bit more sober and began attiting his horse steadier, they broke into a trot and were riding' along very nice, making a sudden turn in the road, around the point of mesa, they came across a herd of burrows, driven by three Mexicans, two boys and an old man. As they passed them by the old follow' shuffled very respectful, sayly' 'Buenos dias, sabohes.' a few yards when the bon pulled up and said to Brady. "Did you see that Grouser making faces at us?" He insulted two white men, and I got to rebuke him. Before Brady could make a move to stop him, the Don whips out his six shooter and fires straight at the old Mexican. It was a chance shot, of course, but it hit the mark, and down went the old man and the burro. The Don was just steadying himself to take another shot at the party, when Brady'grabbed his bridle laid his quilt over the horse's back, and they went flyin' down the road and out of sight around a turn. It turned out afterwards that the burro was hit, but the old man was unhurt, except for the fright he got "Next day the Don was very down in the mouth over the bad break he made, and he took the tongue lash in Brady gave him as meek as a lamb. Now that he was sober he turned out to be a very quiet sort of chap, and the boys at the Blue Moon learned to like him. He had a queer way of throwing off Scripture texts in his talk that amused everyone and while he wan't of much account as a cook, still no one cared to find fault with him "Them biscuits have got considerable salyratius in 'em, I guess, he used to say when he laid a pan of heavy, yellow lumps of dough on the table, but it seems to take a heap of it to operate this four. Fear ye not death—ye won't mind it with a little raw onion and plenty of salt" "He had been at the Blue Moon about two months, and Brady stood for him all right 'As long as the cuss keeps sober, he suits me,' he said. Then one fine day this Quong Wong heathen showed up Nobody knew where he came from, but he was first seen around the cooks shanty chat tering away with Don That was early in the morning, and at the noun hour the lads began chaffing Don about his new pal "That's all right,' says he 'Whenever I sees a chance to win over a heathen soul I'm the boy to go after it. I'm goin' to convert that heathen, and give him religion same as I've got myself." Along about four o'clock Bill Chambers told the rest of the gang that he had peeked into the shanty and see Don and the Chinaman drinkin' something out of a bottle. Ed Martin allowed that was a lie, because he didn't believe that the Don would lower himself by makin' that free with a 'chink' but the words wasn't out of his mouth when they hear a mad yelling and Don comes capering out of the shanty, flourishing his gun and taking snap shots at the atmosphere. The boys ducked for cover, not knowing but that Don might take a fancy to shooting at some of them same as he had at the old Mexican. Presently they see him make a bee line for the building where the horses was and soon he comes out leading the old plug he came to the Blue Moon on mounts into the saddle and away with him. Nobody tried to interfere, and Brady being away at the time didn't hear of the affair until later on that afternoon. Then he wanted to know what became of the Chink, and one of the boys goes to the shanty and finds him sitting there alone. Whatever Don had been drinking, it didn't look as if the Chinaman had hit up the stuff to any extent for he was as sober as a judge. The boys brought him to Brady, who began asking him questionas as to how he came there and what he was after. The Chink was a much bigger man than the general run of his kind, and spoke pretty good English, too. But all that Brady could get out of him was that he could do American cooking and thought he might be able to get a job helping the cook "Well, says Brady, 'I don't know but what you're responsible for getting Don off on this tear. You look like a foxy reptile. But anyway we've got to have some one to dish up the food, and a Chink can't be much worse than a dunken junniec. You can take hold and let us see what you can do. Maybe Don't show up again." "But that's just what Don failed to do. He never even came back to get the trifle of wages due him, and nobody knows to this day where he made tracks to Meanwhile the Chink got the job and made good. He could certainly cook some, and the Blue Moon boys learned to enjoy the best kind of feeding Still, they didn't take to the new cook, which I suppose was natural enough, for no man in this section of the country is over and above fond of that breed. At the same time there wasn't any liberties taken with him, for somehow, Chink though he was, he gave you the impression of being a man that it would be wise to leave alone. There's some people that nature seems to have put a danger stamp on, and that's how it was with this Quong Wong. I saw him one day when I dropped in to the camp to see Brady on some business, and I couldn't help but notice the queer gleam in his little pig eyes. "I can't stick on your new cook, sayl' to Brady. Mostly them kind of people are charless enough, except when they get to using the hatchet on each other, but that, chap has got something bad hid under all his quiet ways. I'd bet my head he's one of the high mucks in a Tong society, or THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. "There was Mr. Wong squatting on the floor with a kind of flute in his mouth — playing like fun." something of that kind, and is just lying low here account of somebody he's butchered up Los Angeles or 'Prisco way.' "Maybe so,' says Brady, 'but that ain't none of my business. All I know is that he is a lightning cook, and could make a fire stew out of old shoes if he had to. Walt till you taste some of the stuff he serves up and you won't care if he belonged to all the Tongs from here to China. I'll admit that he has some add fancies, though He keeps a big rattleknake for a pet in that shanty where he sleeps that seems to know him like a dog does his master "How can you tell?" I asked "Well, it was like this," says Brady "You see he doesn't sleep in the bunk house with the rest of the gang I guessed that the boys wouldn't care about having a Chink put in with them, and so to keep things peaceful I rigged him up a place in an old shanty where he could be by himself One night I was passing by there when I heard a kind of queer whistling music and looked in the door There was Mr Wong squatting on the floor with a kind of flute in his mouth, playing away like fun, and right in front of him was a four foot rattler awaying his yellow-barred body in circles from side to side in time with the music It made my hair stand straight on my head for a moment, it was such an unexpected sight Wong heard me gasp, looked up and stopped playing The instant he did so the rattler stopped swaying and remained with half its body erect, and poised in the air as though stiffened to stone The Chink made a motion with his flute, and it dropped like a flash and glided away into a narrow wooden box that lay in a corner of the shanty "Wong didn't seem in the least disturbed over my visit. When I hinted that I didn't quite approve of such dangerous pets around the promises he merely grinned, and assured me that he had the snake under perfect control and it would never leave the shanty unless he permitted it. Of course, I didn't care to press the matter any further, as the Chink is the only decent cook that I have had around here for the last two years, and if he wants to play with poison snakes that's his own funeral." "Well, said I, it's all a matter of taste, but I think I'd sooner put up with a little burn cooking than have ```markdown ``` that Chiks around me. I also'stuck on snake charmers of any nationality' on make charmers of any nationality. "I found that Brady hadn't exaggerated any when he praised the Chihuahua's cooking. He sure turned out a satisfactory supper for us that night, and I left there feeling more charitable to his little snake-charming stunts than I would have supposed possible. Still it wasn't long before I was to hear of a racket at the Blue Moon that made me fancy that my original ideas about Mr Wong's amusements were the correct ones. "As I said before, the gang didn't cotton very kindly to the Chink, for all that he was such an extra fine chink provider. There was a fellow named Jim Blackburn in particular who had it in for Wong, and never let a chance go by of making him feel it. And one night Blackburn and a couple of his pals who had been hitting up the whisky bottle pretty free, made up their minds to pay Wong a visit and have him a little bit. They know nothing about the snake, for Brady had kept his mouth shut: regarding the Chink's pet, not wishing to make him any more unpopular than he was. I always believed to this day that Wong, in some way got wise to their kind intentions. At any rate, when his three conspiring neighbors stole up to his shabby quietly in the dark, Wong was lying singly" wrapped in a blanket on the far side of the building. He explained afterward that he was bothered by the heat and lay down outside for the purpose of keeping cool. "Blackburn was in the lead, pushed open the door of the shanty and stole in with his pals close bobhind him. He called Wong by name, but there was no answer. The one of them struck a match and lit a lantern they carried. They looked around, but the shanty was empty "Hell, says Blackburn, the blasted Chink ain't here. Wonder what he's got hidden away in that box" "He went over to the box that lay in the corner and raised the lid. The next minute the head of the snake darted out, rattling like mad, and Blackburn gave a frightful howl. I'm a dead man, boys, he yelled, 'the snake bitten me!' "One of his pals turned his gun loose and blew the head off the rattler, and then they began pouring whisky into Blackburn to try and save his life. Lucky for him, he had been filled up with the stuff before he ever came in the shanty, or it would have been all day with him. Even as it was it was touch and go with him, and he only cheated the coroner by the closest kind of a shave. "You can imagine that this incident didn't help towards making Wong any more of a favorite with the crowd At that there was some of them said Blackburn only got what he deserved, and Brady, who is a very obstinate kind of a cuss when he gets his mind made up, said right out that the Chink wasn't to blame. I took a different view of the affair, for I figured that the yellow man just naturally lald a trap for them fellows. But Brady was boss of the Blue Moon, and it wasn't really any of my business, so long as there hadn't been any fatal results. "About eight weeks after this the Blue Moon was robbed, and robbed by someone who knew the lay of the land around there, for they got away with a bunch of bullion at night in a fashion that would have been well night impossible for strangers who wouldn't have known just where to put their hands on the stuff "This was my business, all right, and I lost no time in grabbing Mr Quong Wong, who I felt sure was mixed up in the deal. But not a word could we get out of that heathen that would help us any. He simply stood nat and declared his innocence. "There was Mr. Wong with a kind of flutie playing like fun." What riled me more than anything else was the stand that Brady took. He said I was prejudiced against the Chink, and that, these wasn't an atom of evidence to connect him with the robbery. In the long run I was obliged to let the yellow rottle go; and if you'll believe me, the first think that Brady did was to put him hask as cook at the mine. And we didn't get any trace of the robbers, either. As for Wong, he stayed on at the Blue Moon for several months and then quit, saying that he was going to "Prisco to live." "Didn't you ever hear anything more about him?" I queried, as Baldwin finished his tale. "Not me," said the sheriff, rising and strolling over to the window, "and what's more, I don't care if I never saw his ugly face again. He made me look like a fool once and—Buffering snakes, Reno, come here." I joined him at the window, and he pointed to the figure of an unusually tall (Cbinman who was passing on the opposite side of the street. "There's the identical cuss I was telling you about," he said, excitedly. "Now what is he up to here in Tucson?" I looked, and indulged in a whistle of surprise. "Why," I exclaimed, "that is a well-known Chinese merchant and gambler who has been located here for the past six months. He's named Quong Wong, all right enough, but those Chink names are so much alike that I never thought of him when you were telling me your story. A mighty smart Celestial, too, if all they say about him is true." "Well," growled Baldwin, disgustedly, "it don't make any difference to me now The Blue Moon robbery is ancient history, and if I couldn't get the goods on him then it ain't likely I'd stand much chance at this stage of the game. I only wish he'd do something that 'ud get the federal government after him, and land the skunk in the pen" "Stranger things have happened," I laughed "Well' hope for the best, Baldy." Three days later I received a telegram from Los Angeles which caused me to look upon myself in the light of an inspired prophet. It contained instructions from Attorney General Knox to place under arrest one Quong Wong, on a charge of sliding and abetting the unlawful entry of certain of his countrymen into the United States. I hastened to the store where Mr Wong dealt in the commodities of his native land—only to find the bird flown. Evidently some of his numerous friends had obtained information of his indictment by the federal court and given him warning. I went to Los Angeles and interviewed United States Marshal Osborne, and was sworn in as special deputy for the South district of California. Under ordinary circumstances my authority only covered the territory of Arizona, and the secret service men were of the opinion that my quarry had taken refuge in the Los Angeles Chinatown. As I was naware that Wong knew me by sight, it was necessary to proceed with extreme caution, the more so as, from what Baldwin had told me, the man of whom I was in search was gifted with talents of no mean order Accordingly, a Chinaman named Lem Tong, employed in the United States secret service emigration department, was sent for and ordered to place himself at my disposal Lem was to report to me at the Third street entrance of the Holland Beck hotel at two p. m. I was to wear a white ribbon in my left button hole as a means of identification Promptly at two o'clock a Chinaman clad in American garments and wearing a squatting on the floor in his mouth - Fedora hat made his appearance. As he passed me he raised his hat, the signal agreed upon. I walked into the hotel lobby and entered the elevator followed by the celestial stranger Entering my room I closed the door and my assistant produced his credentials from the secret service department. I then told him what was wanted and he inquired if I knew what the suspect's family name was It is an invariable rule with Chinese residing in America to go under different names from those by which they are known in their own country I said I would wire a Chinaman in Tuscon with whom I was acquainted and try to obtain the desired information. In the meantime Lem Tong arranged to do a little scouting on his own account in Chinatown, and we parted, with the understanding that he was to meet me at six o'clock on the following afternoon. When he again reported he informed me that he had discovered our man's family name to be Wong On. I had not yet received a reply to my telegram to Tuscon, and until I did, I would not authorize Lem Tong to go ahead with his search. This was merely a precaution on my part because I did not know Lem, and could not be sure whether he would play me false. Despite the fact that he was employed by the secret service department it was advisable to move slow.

Consequently I told him to meet me the following morning when I would decide definitely what steps we would take in the matter. It that night my double worked out real by the receipt of a telegram from Jason declaring the family name of my suspect to be Wong On. I found information being thus confirmed I started him on the trail and having assumed the ordinary gamb of the countrymen he plunged into the wind in ways of Chinatown. Early the next morning them appeared before me in strong triumph. He quiet had been a successful one and he was able to report that the mult sought for Qing Wong could be found on the third floor of a building at 111 Clay street. San Francisco in town living with a Chinese man named W. Lien. To understand properly what a rapid pulse of detective work this was on the part of Lien, it must be remembered that they are over 2000 celebrities in Los Angeles' downtown all of them as like as two peas and bound by the oaths of their respective songs to hinder by every means in their power the arrest of a criminal I lost no time in writing the local bureau of immigration at San Francisco, giving a detailed description of Quong Wong and ordering his arrest. The federal authorities do not allow grass to grow under their feet when engaged on Uncle Sam's business, and two hours later I received a message which read. Have Quong Wong in custody, come and get him. I left at once for San Francisco, a trip of 480 miles and on the following night Mr Wong was delivered into my hands. On the return journey I endeavored to draw my prisoner into a discussion of the Blue Moon robbery but without avail. Whenever the conversation took this turn he immediately forgot his English and assumed a look of stupidity that would have done credit to a hopeless imbecile. None the less I felt convinced that Mr Wong could if he chose, throw light on the subject. He was undoubtedly the best educated Chinese man that it was ever a fortune to meet and I fancy that at one time he must have been a person of considerable consequence in the Colettal empire. I have always found Chinese men to be most traitable prisoners. The Oriental best in the all-powerful decrees of Fate which they deem it useless to resist, presents them effectively from taking the desperate chances for escape which a white man might await himself of when in the toils. Quong Wong proved to be no exception to the rule but with the memory of Balkan in a snake story still fresh in my mind I was disposed to keep a war on him As a matter of fact I carried my caution so far as to compel him to wear handcuffs from the moment I took him into custody until I landed him safely in the look up a precaution. I would never have dreamed of employing what an ordinary specimen of his race was concerned. In due course of time Quong Wong was tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of three years—a climax to his ambitious career which proved a source of intense satisfaction to my redoubtable friend, Shirifu Jim Baldwin.

He grew Jim Jeffries best for a celebration of the anniversary in any other than the ordinary way will be cor- tained by the absence of Mrs. Jeffries and her preparation in an Oakland hospital for an operation. Something usually good had been planned by Manager Sam Burgers for the event but with Mrs. Jeffries and Lark Adams who has been with her away from the camp the day before to be quarter than the other. Mrs. Jeffries birthday comes next week and her husband on the eve of her departure for a couple of weeks gave her a costly diamond necklace a beautiful piece of jewelry that contains twenty or more gems Jeffries will be 65 years old tomorrow Dick Adams and Mrs. Jeffries left for Oakland on the evening train nearly the whole camp going to the Ben Lomond station to see them away An idea of what the appearance of the Emeryville area will be on July 4th was gained this afternoon when Jeffries and Black Bob Armstrong squared away in the ring for three rounds. Armstrong was with Jeffries to his preparation for his fight with Fitzsimons in seventh year ago and since the Jeffries fight changed blows the year Nine years ago Jeffries and Black Bob Armstrong who was it was to be joined Big Bob was added to the training staff for the Johnson fight because his long association with the other dancers has taught his skills of fighting with Jeffries hosts with Bob Willett him how to attack and how to self-fit from Johnson. BOLT 15 FAME Today's boy was slow to tell About four fifths of it was fountain- ing and sparring for an hour. But the end of the third round when Jeffries salled in and alighted. Bob over the trophy was a little off the match so she sat up and as to be almost a joke. Jeffries was now a whole row of crickets in his boat with three other day, but whether from a or inability could not be held though it seemed to be the further. Bob and Jeffries faced each other with broad grins. The first three blrows were landed by Bob on light fries face but all were light and the black fellow was backing away all the time. For the better part of the round the pair danced around the ring making little attempt to rush things and apparently having back for a wide opening. The round was saved from appearing rithrums by two smart blrows whose Jeffries sent with it a soft nudged kiss on Bob's face and took. Little more longer was slow as the fighters in the back left free dropped into his old crouch position but failing to book through. Armstrong a guard stood and the pair sparred lightly and indifferently almost throughout the short session. Again the round was gaved at the end by Jeffries running in after taking a couple of raps on the face and planting blows on Armstrong's stomach and face that made him turn to the tops and bother for help. Time was called. Hob's sociality kept him up until 2 o'clock this morning and he had to be out at dawn for the road work. Probably the two or three hours stop left him in poor fighting trim. JEFF GETS AGGRESSIVE Jeffries took on an aggressive attitude in the last round of the go and torre into his ransky opponent as though he had been booting before. With all Jeffries, siggern assault though the big blacks sent him well away until near the end when Jeffries jammed him hard against the ropes and almost hurried him out of the ring. In spite of Jeffries promise to his trainers that he would like his work more easily for some time he made almost a full day of it today. Road work at dawn a two-hour session at the wood pile with ax and saw three rounds of sparring and a half hour at the pumbbag bag and a couple of games of handball with Berger and Armstrong and Tod Hessier made up the days grind. One of Jeffries troubles has been very satisfactorily settled. His titration at being constantly trailed by a squad of photographers is great. Jeffries distills to have his picture taken and more than anything else he hates to be interrupted in his training by repeated requests to please hold that pose just a minute.

'April 16 - (Publishers' Press Special) - James J Jeff fries says: "I will knock Johnson out in ten rounds." Jack Johnson says "I'll boat Jeff good and plonty. I'll knock him cold about the eighteenth round." Sam Fitzpatrick, former manager of Johnson, says: "I'm not under- estimating Johnson's strength when I say that he is not good enough for Jeffries. Jeff will win, although I cannot predict what round the knockout will come in. Tommy Ryan, formerly Jeffries' manager "It looks like Johnson to me. This is a dispassionate view and I merely judge the men upon their fighting merits." With opinion divided in that manner among the experts how be it possible to say what the outcome will be* it is at least better to serve judgment into we see what form the men get into after so weeks' training.
