THE RICHMOND PLANET Colored Girl Graduate Says She's Going to the Dance. East Orange, N. J., June 15.—The color line, ever a source of perplexity in the East Orange Schools, has yielded a new trouble here. The graduating class at the high school is in the thick of it and it is all because Isabel Vandervall, a colored girl and a member of the class, insists on her right to attend the graduate dance. The tickets for the dance, which is to take place on June 24 in the Woman's Club of Orange, the most exclusive place of entertainment in all the Oranges, with the exception of the Essex County Country Club, were distributed among the members of the class on Monday, but Miss Vandervall was forgotten. While in school yesterday she wrote a note to John Hermann, manager of the dance, asking him for her ticket, but received no reply. Today she wrote him at his house. 569 Park Avenue, but does not expect an answer before tomorrow. Between the two writings Miss Vandervall, who had enlisted the assistance of her father, induced the latter to pay a visit to Mr. Hermann and he did so, but could not find the young man at home. Miss Vandervall says that she did not start the trouble. She was approached tentatively by other members of her class several days ago, who suggested that perhaps she would not care to go to the dance and that therefore she might be willing to part with her ticket for a consideration. Miss Vandervall replied that she intended to go to the dance, intimating that she would bring with her a male escort of her own race. When Miss Vandervall announced that she wanted to go to the dance and intended to do so some of her fellow students held secret meetings and tried to devise some way to circumvent her, but thus far they seem to have arrived at no definite plan. It is said that they contemplated either holding the dance on some other date or at some other place and withholding the tip from Miss Vandervall until too late for her to avail herself of any inkling she might get of the change. The pupils have been very reticent about their trouble, not taking into their confidence either the principal of the school. Charles W. Evans, or Supt. Vernon L. Davey of the school system. Neither had heard of the situation this afternoon when he was asked about it. There are eighty members of the high school graduating class, all of whom with the exception of Miss Vandervall are sons or daughters of wealthy residents of the city, Miss Vandervall, who lives at 71 Ashland Avenue, is the daughter of James N. Vandervall, proprietor of the Essex Steam Carpet Cleaning Works. He has lived in East Orange for a number of years and is considered well to do. Five years ago the race question was raised by the Board of Education when it sought to establish an ungraded class. There were so many colored pupils in the class that the colored residents of the city took it to mean nothing more nor less than a "jim crow" class. They held public indignation meetings, at one of which Judge John Franklin Fort, now Governor, appeared and spoke in behalf of the colored race. He stigmatized the action of the Board of Education as unpatriotic. The board eventually had to abandon its ungraded class in the face of the storm of protest. The father of the young woman who is the centre of the fuss would not say today what course he intended to pursue, but he intimated that he would make another effort to obtain a ticket for his daughter before doing anything else In case the ticket is refused him by young Hermann he may seek redress in law. If he should succeed in obtaining the ticket for his daughter it is probable, so it is said, that the dance will be abandoned. John Hermann, who is the son of Edward F. Hermann, a New York business man, is backed up by the other members of the class. They declare that Vanudervall cannot force them to give up the ticket if they wish to withhold it.

They camped for the night in the church and this morning they marched out to camp. The most of them are playing baseball at Camp Washington.

Taylor of his pocket-book, which contained his ticket and money. Mr. J. W. Robinson was robbed of three tickets and all of his money. The delegate from Strasburg was also robbed and Mr. Edward Wood, of Petersburg, was also robbed of his ticket and money. GRAND LODGE CONVENES.

OUT FOR A PROLIC SAVING NOTKING THE GOLDEN SMILE BUT SAWING WOOD READY TO BURN UP ROADS (San Francisco, June—Reports to the effect that Jack Johnson has been taking things a little too easy in preparing for his mill with Jeffries are scoffed at by his trainers. In answer to a query regarding seeming apathy in his recent work Jack Johnson declared that he could not afford to work himself out too strongly for the reason that he is now right on edge and does not want to go stale. "If I started in now to tear things apart," said he, "I would surely blow up before Independence day rolls around. This is one thing you want to keep in mind: The boxer himself knows better what his work should be than all the managers and trainers in the world, and he should be allowed to do just what appeals to him most so long as it is not a direct violation of training rules. Jeffries, for instance, is doing exactly what he pleases down at Rowardennan, and I think it is a very wise course. Let a man drive himself against his will into the strenuous work of the gymnasium every day and you will find in the end that it has done him much more harm than good. Just leave it to me to get in shape, and I promise that you won't be dispointed." OUT FOR A PROLIC Photos by American Press Association.

NEW $30,000 SCHOOL Catholics to Add Imposing Building to Colored Mission. Plans have been filed in the office of Building Inspector Beck for the erection of an imposing mission school for colored children on North First Street, to be known as the Van de Vyser School for Colored Children, the building being erected in honor of the present bishop of the Catholic diocese of Richmond. The plans have been drawn by Architect Charles M. Robinson, and the contract, which amounts to $30,000, has been awarded to John Amrhein & Brother. The school building will be erected as a constituent part of the mission work now operated under direction of the Rev. Father Hannigan on North First Street, the Catholic Church owning an entire block between Jackson and Duval Streets. The building will front 124 feet on First Street and run back to a depth of eighty-six feet. Work has already begun clearing the site, and actual construction will begin as soon as the drawings have been approved by the Building Inspector. MORE OF BROWNSVILLE Officer of Regiment in Famous Affray Will be Court-Martialed. Washington, June 19.—The trial by court-martial of Captain Samuel P. Lyon, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, the regiment of negro soldiers which took place part in the Brownsville riot, will begin tomorrow at Fort Myer, Va. Captain Lyon is accused of having made statements before the Foraker investigating committee in regard to the ammunition used in the riot, which were considerably at variance, it is declared, with those he made to the army military commission, which investigated the Brownsville affair last year. The outcome of Captain Lyon's court-martial probably will have no effect on any of the negro officers who were dis charged from the army without honor, fourteen of whom were found to be eligible for re-enlistment, but one of whom, so far as the War Department records show, has actually been restored to the service.

Sheriff Kemp and Officers Looking for Evidences of Two Bouts Held Sunday Afternoon. The constabulary of Henrico county, headed by Sheriff Kemp, is looking for evidence against the alleged promoters of a prize fight held in Forbes Lane Sunday afternoon in which Jack Chandler, of Richmond, and Miles Stokes, of Petersburg, and Jack Sharp, of Norfolk, and Alexander Wilson, of Richmond, are said to have been the principals. All of the fighters were colored, and although they fought hard, it is alleged that their presence was more as a drawing card to a crap game, banked by the promoters, than anything else. Wilson took the first bout from Sharp with a straight arm blow to the chin, putting his opponent down for the count. In the second Chandler landed a solar plexus blow in the fifth round that stopped the bout. If sufficient evidence can be got, Sheriff Kemp will have the promoters, fighters and as many of the spectators as possible arrested under the State law. The bouts were held on private property, however, and the officers are of the opinion that there will be some difficulty in getting the proper evidence. — Times-Dispatch, June 21, 1910. $100,00 Endowment Paid Newport News, June 13, 1910.

Allison's Story She told her story evenly with her eyes on the water only now and then when I too sat holding seaward I thought she glanced at me furtively And once in the middle of it she stopped altogether "You don't realize it probably she protested but you look like a -a war god Your face is horrible " "I will turn my back, if it will help any." I said stormily "but if you expeel me to look anything but murderous, why, you don't know what I am going through with That's all" The story of her meeting with the Curtis woman was brief enough. They had met in Rome first, where Alison and her mother had taken a villa for a year. Mrs Curtis had hovered on the ragged edges of society there, pleading the poverty of the south since the war as a reason for not going out more. There was talk of a brother, but Alison had not seen him, and after a scandal which implicated Mrs Curtis and a young attacke of the Austrian embassy. Alison had been forbidden to see the woman. "The women had never liked her, anyhow" she said. "She did unconventional things, and they are very conventional there. And they said she did not always pay her—her gambling debts. I didn't like them I thought they didn't like her because she was poor—and popular. Then—we came home, and I almost forgot her, but last spring, when mother was not well—she had taken grandfather to the Riviera, and it always uses her up—we went to Virginia Hot Springs, and we met them there, the brother, too, this time. His name was Sullivan, Harry Pinckney Sullivan." "I know Go on." "Mother had a nurse, and I was alone a great deal, and they were very kind to me. I—I saw a lot of them. The brother rather attracted me, partly—partly because he did not make loves to me. He even seemed to avoid me, and I was piqued. I had been appled, I apponed. Most of the others knew I had had—" "I knew that, too." I said bitterly, and moved away from her a trifle. I was brutal, but the whole story was a long trudge. I think she knew what I was suffering, for she showed no resentment. "It was early and there were few people around—none that I cared about. And mother and the three played cribbage eternally, until I felt as though the little pigs were driven into my brain. And when Mrs Curtis arranged drives and plenices I I slipped away and went I suppose you won't believe me, but I had never done that kind of thing before and I—well I have paid up I think. What sort of looking chap was Sullivan? I demanded I had got up and was nacing back and forward on the said. I remember kicking savagely at a bit of water soaked board that lay in my way "Very handsome, so large as you are, but fair and more modest. I drew my shields and straplets. I am straight to go, but I was fairly sagging with peaks as ruge. "When mother began to get around and somebody told her that I had been going along with Mrs. Harris and her brother, and we had a dinner. I was dragged home like a bad child and I had always over that to leave. "Not really ever cared. I was born an explorer, I lived with a teacher at a public body, I went. If Mrs. Harris knew she never said an thing. She was to chatter to officers and to the summer when they went to dress, she asked me to tell her what I did. She was so proud to let her know that I did not go where I went, and so I sent Polly my mind, to her in the country, pretended to go to Seal Harbor, and really went to Tresson. You see I warned you it would be an unpleasant story." I went over and stood in front of her. All the accustomed gallery of the last few weeks had been fired for what she told me: If Silliman had "Did You Marry Him?" I Demanded come across the sands just then, I think I would have strangled him with my hands, out of pure hate "Did you marry him?" I demanded. My voice sounded hoarse and strange in my ears. That's all I want to know. Did you marry him? No" I drew a long breath "You—cared about him" She hesitated "No, she said finally "I did not care about him" I sat down on the edge of the boat and mopped my hot face. I was heart- ly ashamed of myself and mingled with my abasement was a great de- fault. If she had not married him, and had not cared for him nothing else was of any importance "I was sorry of course the moment the train had started but I had wired I was coming and I could not go back and then when I got there the place was charming. There were no neighbors but we fished and rode and motured, and it was moonlight, like this." I put my hand over both of hers, clasped in her lap "I know" I are knowledgeed repentantly "and—people do queer things when it is moonlight. The moon has got me to night, Alison If I am a boor, remember that, won't you?" Her fingers lay quiet under mine "And so," she went on with a little sigh. "I—began to think perhaps I cared. But all the time I felt that there was something not quite right. Now and then Mrs Curtis would say or do something that gave me a queer start, as if she had dropped a mask for a moment. And there was trouble with the servants they were almost insolent. I couldn't understand I don't know when it dawned on me that the old Baron Cavaleant had been right when he said they were not my kind of people. But I wanted to get away, wanted it desperately." "Of course, they were not your kind." I cried "The man was married!" the girl Jennie a housemaid, was a spy in Mrs Suillian's employ. If he had pretended to marry you I would have killed him "Not only that, but the man he murdered, Harrington, was his wife's father. And I'll see him hang by the neck yet if it takes every energy and every penny I possess." I could have told her so much more gently, have broken the shock for her. I have never been proud of that wreaking on the wind. I was alternately a boor and a ruman-like a hurt companion who passes the blow that THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Esa hurt him on "to his playmate, that both may bawl together. And now Alison sat, white and cold, without speech. "Married!" she said finally, in a small voice. "Why. I don't think it is possible, is it? 1-1 was on my way to Baltimore to marry him myself, when the wreck came" "But you said you don't care for him!" I protested, my heavy unmuscled mind unable to jump the gaps in her story. And then, without the slightest warning I agalized that she was crying. She shook off my hand and fumbled for her handkerchief, and falling to find it, she accepted the one I thrust into her wet fingers Then little by little, she told me from the handkerchief a sordid story of a shouter trip in the mountains with out Mrs. Curtis of a lost road and a broken car and a rainy night when they she and Sullivan trumped eternally and did not get home. And of Mrs. Curtis when they got home at dawn suddenly grown conventional and deeply shocked. Of her own proud half disdainful consent to make possible the backneyed compromising situation by marrying the rascal and those of his disappearance from the train. It was so terrible to her such a Heaven sent relief to me, in spite of my age against Sullivan, that I laughed about. At which she looked at me over the handkerchief. I know it’s over the handkerchief with a catch in her breath. When I think that I nearly married a murderer and did not I lay for sheer joy. then she buryed her face and eried again. Please don't, I protested unsteadily. I won't be responsible if you keep on crying like that. I may forget that I have a capital charge hanging over my head and that I may be arrested at any moment. That brought her out of the hand kerchief at once. I meant to be so helpful she said, and I was thought of nothing but itself. There were some things I meant to tell you. If Jenna was what you say then I understand why she came to me just before I left. She had been packing my things and she must have seen what condition I was in for she came over to me when I was getting my wraps on to leave and said, Don't do It Miss West. What you won't do it, you'll be sorry over after. And just then Mrs Corta came in and Jennie slipped out. "No. As we went through the station the telegraph operator gave Har-Mr Sullivan a message. He read it on the platform and it created him terribly. He took his sash aside and they talked together. He was white with either fear or anger. I don't know which. Then when we boarded the train a woman in black with beautiful hair who was standing on the car platform touched him on the arm and then drew back. He looked at her and glanced away again but she recked as if he had struck her." Then what? The situation was growing clearer. Mrs. Cornish and I had the drawing room. I had a dreadful night just sleeping a little gown and then I saw his cigarette case in your hand. I had given it to him. You were his clothes. The murder was discovered and you were accused of it. What could I do? And then afterward, when I saw him asleep at the farmhouse—I was panic stricken. I locked him in and ran. I didn't know why he did it, but he had killed a man." Some one was calling Alison through a megaphone, from the veranda. It sounded like Sam. "Allie," he called. Allie "I'm going to have some anchors on toast." Allie "Neither of us heard." "I wonder I reflected "If you would be willing to repent a part of that story just from the telegram on—to a couple of detectives say on Monday. If you would tell that and how the end of your necklace got into the seakellin tag." "My no knee she repeated "But it isn't mine. I picked it up in the car. Alllee Sam again I see you down there I'm making a julep." Alison turned and called through her hands coming in a moment Sam" she said and rose "It must be very late Sam is home. We would better go back to the house." Don't I begged her Anchovies and juleps and Sam will go on for ever, and I have you such a little time I suppose I am only one of a dozen or so, but you she only the girl in the world. You know I love you, don't you dear." Sam was whettling an irritating bird call over and over. She purred hered lips and answered him in kind. It was more than I could endure. "Sam or no Sam. I said firmly 'I am going to kiss you.'" But Sam's voice came strident through the megaphone. "Be good, you two, be beheloved. I've got the binoculars." And so under fire we walked sedately back to the house. My pulses were throbbing the little swish of her dress beside me on the grass was pain and cessant. I had but to put out my hand to touch her, and I dared not. Sam, armed with a megaphone and field glasses, bent over the rail and watched us with glueful malignity "Home early aren't you?" Alison called, when we reached the steps "Led a club when my partner had doubled up trumps, and she fainted. Dunn the heart convention" he said cheerfully "The others are not here yet." Three hours later I went up to bed. I had not seen Alison alone again. The noise was at its height below, and I glanced down into the garden, still bright in the moonlight Leaning against a tree, and staring intertwinedly into the billiard room, was Johnson. CHAPTER XXIX In the Dining Room That was Saturday night, two weeks after the wreck. The previous five days had been full of *swift*-following events—the woman in the house next door, the picture in the theater of* man about to leap from the doomed train, the admirer at the Dallas, and Richard Telescope that Allison was the key to the case. In quick succession, come our visit to the Carter place, the finding of the rest of the telegram, my seeing Allison there, and the strange interview with Mrs. Conway. The Cresson trip stood out in my memory for its serio-comic horrors and its one real thrill. Then—the discovery by the police of the seasick bag and the bit of chain, Hotchkiss producing triumphantly Stuart for Sullivan and his subsequent discomfiture; McKnight at the station with Allison, and later the confession that he was out of the running And yet, when I thought it all over the entire week and its events were two sides of a triangle that was narrowing rapidly to an apex, a point. And the said apex was at that moment in the drive below my window, resting his long legs by sitting on a carriage block, and smoking a pipe that made the night hideous. The sense of the ridiculous is very close to the sense of tragedy. I opened my screen and whistled, and Johnson looked up and grinned. We said nothing. I hold up a handful of cigars, he extended his hat, and when I finally went to sleep, it was to a soothing breeze that wafted in salt air and a faint aroma of good tobacco. I was thoroughly tired, but I slept restlessly, dreaming of two detectives with Pittsburgh warrants bing hold up by Hotchkiss at the point of a splint, while Alison fastened their hands with a chain that was broken and much too short. I was roused about dawn by a light rap at the door and, opening it, I found Forbes, in a pair of trousers and a pajama coat. He was as pleasant as most fleshy people are when they have to get up at night, and he said the telephone had been ringing for an hour, and he didn't know why somebody else in the blank etryk house couldn't have heard it. He wouldn't get to sleep until noon As he was palpably asleep on his feet, I left him grumbling and went to the telephone. It proved to be Richey, who had found me by the simple expedient of tracing Alison and he was jubilant. You'll have to come back, he said. "Got a railroad schedule there." I don't sleep with one in my pocket. I rested, but if you hold the line I'll call out the window to Johnson. He's probably got one." Johnson: I could hear the laugh with white. McKnight comprehended the situation. He was still chuckling when I came back. Train to Richmond at 6:30 a.m. I said, "What time is it now?" Four Listen I little We've got him Do you hear "Through the woman an at Baltimore Then—the other woman the lady of the restaurant"—he was obviously avoiding names who is playing our cards for us No—I don't know why and I don't care But you be at the Incubator to night at eight o'clock If you can't shake Johnson, bring him bless him" To this day I believe the Sam Forboes have not recovered from the surprise of my unexpected arrival, my one appearance at dinner in Granger a clothes, and the note on my dresser which informed them the next morning that I had folded my tents like the Arabs and silently stolen away. For at half after five Johnson and I, the former as uninquisitive as ever, were on our way through the dust to the station three miles away and by four that afternoon we were in Washing ton. The journey had been uneventful. Johnson relaxed under the influence of my tobacco and spoke at some length on the latest improvements in gallows dilating on the absurdity of cutting out the former face passes to see the affair in operation. I remember too that he mentioned the curious anomaly that permits a man about to be hanged to eat a hearty meal. I did not enjoy my dinner that night. Before we got into Washington I had made an arrangement with Johnson to a tender myself at two the following afternoon. Also I had wired to Alison asking her if she would carry out the contract she had made. The detective saw me home and left me there. Mrs. Kopton received me with dignified reserve. The very tone in which she asked me when I would dine told me that something was wrong. Now what is it Mrs. Kopton? I demanded finally when she had informed me in a patient and long suffering time that she felt worn out and thought she needed a rest. "When I lived with Mr. Justice Springer, she began acidly her mending basket in her hands. It was an orderly well conducted household. You can ask any of the neighbors. Meals were cooked and, what a more, they were eaten there was none of this here one day and gone the next' bushes." "Nonsense," I observed "You're tired, that's all, Mrs Klopton And I wish you would go out, I want to bathe" "That's not all," she said with dignity, from the doorway "Women coming and going here, women whose shoes I am not fit—I mean women who are not fit to touch my shoes—coming here as inpatient as you please, and asking for you" "Good heavens!" I exclaimed "What did you tell them—her whichever it was" "Told her you were slick in a hospital and wouldn't be out for a year!" she said triumphantly "And when she said she thought she'd come in and wait for you, I slammed the door on her" "What time was she here?" "Late last night. And she had a light-hatned man across the street. If she thought I didn't see him she don't know me." Then she closed the door and left me to my bath and my reflections. At five minutes before eight I was at the Incubator, where I found Hutchins and McKnight. They were bending over a table, on which lay McKnight's Total armament—a pair of plating, an elephant gun and an old cavalry saber. --- "Draw up a chair and help yourself to ple." he said, pointing to the arsenal. "This is for the benefit of our friend Hotchkiss here, who says he is small and fond of life." Hotchkiss, who had been trying to get the wrong end of a cartridge into the barrel of one of the revolvers, straightened himself and mopped his face. "We have desperate people to handle," he said pompously, "and we may need desperate means." "Hotchkiss is like the small boy whose one ambition was to have people grow ashen and tremble at the mention of his name," McKnight jibed. But they were serious enough, both of them, under it all, and when they had told me what they planned, I was serious, too. "You're compounding a felony," I remonstrated, when they had explained. "I'm not eager to be focked away, but, by Jove, to offer her the stolen notes in exchange for Sullivan." "We haven't got either of them, you know" McKnight remonstrated "and we won't have, if we don't start. Come along Fido to Hotchkiss. The plan was simply itself. According to Hotchkiss, Sullivan was to meet Brisson at Mrs Conway a apartment at 5 30 that night with the notes. He was to be paid there and the papers destroyed. But just before that interesting finale, McKnight ended, "we will walk in, take the notes, grab Sullivan and give the police a jolt that will put them out of the count." I suppose not one of us, slewing around corners in the machine that night had the faltest doubt that we were on the right track or that Fake, scurvy enough before was playing into our hands at last Little Hotchkiss was in a state of fever, he alternately twitched and examined the revolver, and a fear that the two moments might be synchronous kept me uneasy. He produced and dilated on the scrap of pillow slip from the wreck, and showed me the stiletto, with its point in cotton batting for suitkeeping. And in the intervals he implored Richer not to make such fine calculations at the corners We were all grave enough and very quiet, however, when we reached the large building where Mrs Conway had her apartment. McKnight left the power on, in case we might want to make a quick getaway and Hotchkiss gave a final look at the revolver. I had no weapon. Somehow it all seemed melodramatic to the verge of force. In the doorway Hotchkiss was a half dozen feet ahead. Hitchcock fell back beside me. He dropped his affectation of gassy and I thought he looked tired. Same old Sam, I suppose" he asked "Some only more of him" "I suppose Alarm was waiting is she" he inquired irrelevantly "Very well I did not see her this morning Hotchkiss was waiting near the elevator McKnight put his hand on my arm. Now look here old man," he said "Ive got two arms and a revolver, and youve got one arm and a splint. If Hotchkiss is right, and there is a row, you crawl under a table." The douce I will! I declared scornfully We crowded out of the elevator at the fourth floor and found ourselves in another theatrical halfway of drapes and armor. It was very quiet; we stood uncertainly after the car had gone, and looked at the two or three doors in sight. They were heavy covered with metal, and sound proof. From somewhere above caho the metallic accuracy of a pianopiano and through the open window we could hear or feel the throb of the Cannonball's engine. Well Sherlock McKnight said, "what's the next move in the game? It is our jump, or theirs. You brought us here. None of us knew just what to do next. No sound of conversation penetrated the heavy doors. We waited uneasily for some minutes, and Hutchkiss looked at his watch. Thon he put it to his car. "Good gracious" he exhilted, his head cooked on one side, "I believe it has stopped I am afraid we are late." We were late. My watch and Hottehk agreed at nine o'clock and, with the discovery that our man might have come and gone, our rest in the For at Half After Five Johnson and Were on Our Way Through the Dust to the Station, Three Miles Away. For at Half After Five Johnson and I Were on Our Way Through the Dust to the Station, Three Miles Away. adventure began to flag McKnight motioned us away from the door and rang the bell. There was no response, no sound within the rang it twice, the last time long and vigorously, without result. Then he turned and looked at us. "I don't half like this" he said. "That woman is in, you heard me ask the elevator boy. For two cents I'd- I had seen it when he did. The door was, alas, about an inch, and a narrow wedge of rose-colored light showed beyond. Then, with both men at my heels, I stepped into the private corridor of the apartment and looked around. It was a square reception hall, with hats, and a couple of chairs. A lantern of rose-colored glass and a desk light over a writing-table across made the room bright and cheerful. I was empty. The place was just of no importance it was made us feel the weakness of our position. Some such instinct made MoKnight suggest division. "We look like an invading army," he said. "If she's here alone, we will startle her into a spasm. One of us could take a look around and—" "What was that? Didn't you hear something?" The sound, whatever it had been, was not repeated. We went awkwardly out into the hall, very uncomfortable, all of us, and flipped a coin. The choice fell on me, which was right enough, for the affair was mine, primarily. "Wait just inside the door," I directed, "and if Sullivan comes, or anybody that answers his description, grab him without ceremony and ask him questions afterwards." The apartment, save in the hallway, was unlighted. By one of those freaks of arrangement possible only in the modern flat, I found the kitchen first, and was struck a smart and unexpected blow by a swinging door I carried a handful of matches, and by the time I had passed through a butler's pantry and a refrigerator room I was completely lost in the darkness Until then the situation had been merely uncomfortable; suddenly it became grisly. From somewhere near came a long sustained grenon, followed almost instantly by the crash of something—glass or china—on the floor. I struck a fresh match, and found myself in a narrow rear hallway. Behind me was the door by which I must have come with a keen desire to get back to the place I had started from, I opened the door and attempted to cross the room. I thought I had kept my sense of direction but I crashed without warning into what from the resulting jangle, was the dining table, probably had for dinner. I cursed my stupidity in getting into such a situation, and I cursed my nerves for making my hand shake when I tried to strike a match. The groan had not been repeated. I braced myself against the table and struck the match sharply against the sole of my shoe. It flickered faintly and went out. And then, without the slightest warning, another dish went off the table. It fell with a thousand splinterings, the very air seemed broken into crashing waves of sound. I stood still, braced against the table holding the red end of the dying match and listened. I had not long to wait the groan came again, and I recognized it, the cry of a dog in straits. I breathed again. Come old fellow," I said "Come on, old man. Let's have a look at you." I could hear the thud of his tall on the floor but he did not move. He only whimpered. There is something companionable in the presence of a dog, and I fancied this dog in trouble slowly. I began to work my way around the table toward him "Good boy!" I said, as he whimpered. We will find the light which ought to be somewhere or other around here, and then—" I stumbled over something and I drew back my foot almost instantly. Did I step on you old man?" I exclaimed and bent to pat him. I remember straightening suddenly and hearing the dog pad softly toward me around the table. I recall even that I had put the matches down and could not find them. Then, with a bursting horror of the room and its contents, of the glibbering dark around me I turned and made for the door by which I had entered I could not find it. I felt along the endless waistscoting, past miles of "The Notes, Probably." wall. The dog was beside me, I think, but he was part and parcel now, to my excited mind, with the Thing under the table. And when, after accents of search, I found a knob and stumbled into the reception hall, I was as nearly in a panic as any man could be. I was myself again in a second, and by the light from the hall I led the way back to the tragedy I had stumbled on. Bronson still sat at the table, his elbows propped on it, his cigarette still lighted, burning a hole in the cloth. Partly under the table lay Mrs. Conway, face down. The dog stood over her and wagged his tail. McKnight pointed silently to a large copper ash tray, filled with ashes and charred blots of paper. "The notes, probably," he said ruefully "He got them after all and burned them before her. It was more than she could stand. Stabbed him first and then herself." Hotchkiss got up and took off his hat. "They are dead," he announced solemnly, and took his note-book out of his hatband. McKnight and I did the only thing we could think of—drove Hotchkiss and the dog out of the room, and closed and locked the door. "It's a matter for the police," McKnight asserted. "I suppose you've got an officer tied to you somewhere, Lawrence? You usually, have." We left Hotchkiss in charge and wont downnatares. It was McKnight who first saw Johnson, leaning against a park railing across the street, and called him over. We told him in a few words what he had found, and he grinned at me cheerfully. "After awhile, in a few weeks of months, Mr. Blakley," he said, "when you get tired of snorkeling around with the blood stain and fingerprint specialist upstairs, you come to me. I've had the follow you want under surveillance for ten days! Some Simple, Precautions That Will Mean Addition to Life of Now that taffeta petticoats are coming back again it is well to know how to make them last as long as possible. Do not choose a silk that has much dressing in it, as it cuts much more quickly. Do not have much shirring or tucking as the effort to keep dust brushed out is hard on the petticoat. Do not fold in a chest or trunk as the creases will cut quickly. Hang by straps to the waist band. Have a silk skirt put on a narrow band; pulling on a draw string, besides giving greater bulk, cuts the material. One woman says her skirts wear longer if she hangs them upside down by loops placed on under side of ruffle. Do not save your taffeta petticoats. They will cut from hanging too long in a closet, so you might as well have the satisfaction of wearing them out. The Home. Stuffed potatoes are made by mixing cheese and bread crumbs in with the contents. A few alliace are an improvement to stews, thick soups and gravy. They give almost the same flavor as if wine had been added. Plaster figures in hard or stabaster finish are easily cleaned by dipping a stiff toothbrush in gasoline and scrubbing into all the crevices. If you have a black gown that needs freshening cleanse it thoroughly with clear black coffee diluted with water and containing a little ammonia. After the weekly washing rub a little vinegar and spirits of camphor over the hands. This will keep the hands in good condition summer and winter. Garments that are to be hung out to air can be put on hangers rather than planned to the line. This prevents sagging or marking with the clothespins Cleaning Lace Pure alcohol can be used with won- dful success as a means of cleaning black Spanish or chantilly lace. The alcohol should be poured into a clean basin and whipped with the hand until it is frothy when the lace should be dipped into it and well worked about with the fingers until the dirt is removed. After gently squeezing out the spirit the lace should be laid on a folded cloth, the patterned edge fastened down with a pin. When per- fectly dry the lace should be unplinned and pressed gently between the palms of the hands until smooth in lieu of ironing it, as this would flatten the pattern and scall the color COMBINED FAN AND BOUQUET Parlalan Novelty That Has Won and Well Deserves the Favor of Fashion A decidedly novel) and attractive fan is this that first appeared in the ballrooms of Paris.

I KNOCK OUT CORBETT. THE GREATEST BOXER OF THEM ALL. THE Seaside A. O. at Coney Island island was packed that Friday night when I fought Corbett. At least 8,000 people turned out. Corbett was first in the ring, and I didn't keep him waiting. George Considine, Billy Madden, Gus Rublin and Leo Pardello were in Jim's corner, and Brady, Ryan, Jack and Dunkhorn were behind me. Charlie White, the refore, came in ten minutes later. As soon as Jim and it was me wook hands, and it was like meeting an old friend. We were going to fight all right, but that was a business proposition. Corbett asked as if he was half tickled to death to see me again, and I guess he was. Jim was the only man in the whole place who knew what kind of fighting condition he was in that night. He know he was fit to fight for his life. The bell rang, and we came together slowly in the middle of the ring. He had plenty of time to size Corbett up. His skin was white as marble except around his wrists and his neck and his head, where he was tanned to a sort of macabry color. Anybody could see that he'd been doing a lot of work out in the sun. My recollection of this fight is a little confused. It wasn't like any fight I'd been in before. Right at the start Corbett began dancing around, light as a feather, in and out, reaching for me with the left and getting away from my rushes in a way that made me feel so foolish I had to stop and laugh. Then when I grinned he'd jab again and jump away like a rabbit. The crowd was cheering Corbett for his cleverness, and he deserved all the cheering he got. I landed on him now and then, but he was always going away so fast that the blows didn't do much damage. It's a lot easier to beat a man who'll stand up and fight than one who runs away and picks his own time to trade punches with you. I kept on chasing Jim as fast as I could, slamming punches at him when ever he was in range. Most of them he jumped away from or ducked, some he blocked and some got through to the mark. In the meantime he was pecking at me with both hands with IN THE NINTH JIM THOUOHT HE WAS WINNING. out stopping except for a sprint when I got too hot on his trail. Now and then he came to a clench and as White broke us away snapped left and right to my face almost before I could move. He was the fastest man and the greatest boxer I ever saw that night. Along in the third or fourth round Corbett ran around and around me in circles, while I stood and pivoted to face him. When I finally lingered out to get him Corbett laughed and ran away untouched. As the right light along be grew more and more confident and used his right hand now and then, sending it over as hard as he could. in the ninth round Jim thought he was winning. He rapped me a couple on the chin and then swiped his right for the same spot so hard that the force by the blow showed me blaze on my head. I could see his eyes blaze as he thought he had me staggering, and for a minute he grabbed and took a wild chance mixing with me in the hope of finding a knockout. I grinned and blocked his blows and walked tight into him without starring at a punch. In the next round he went at me just as hard. It was wonderful- how that fellow could land and get away. I chased him around and around the ring until I was tired, and still he sprinted or dashed in again when he saw an opening. My nose was bleeding, and my right eye was badly swollen. The fight was half over now. All along Tommy Ryan kept telling me to "take my time" and "jab him." When I walked out at the beginning of each round Brady yelled instructions after me so loud that Corbett couldn't help hearing. I asked Brady if he was trying to get me licked, and he kept quiet after that. Ryan was still telling me to lab and box and take my time, but as the fight went along the crowd yelled "Corbett, Corbett, Corbett!" louder and louder, and I began to think what the decision might be if I didn't get him. Why should I be changing my style to suit Tommy Ryan and be boxing a man like Corbett instead of cutting loose as hard and fast as I could until I landed the right punch! I began to suspect that Ryan was a little more interested in Corbett than he was in. I told Ryan to keep still and went out to fight my own fight. Round after round I chased Corbett and landed whenever I could get him into a corner. Even then he blocked most of the blows with his elbows or his crossed arms. But one of my swings glanced from his shoulder and hit him on the jaw and shook him badly, and after that I lauded offender. In the nineteenth Jim looked tired. He tried to duck under a left and lost his footing and fell. He jumped up quickly. Through this nineteenth round Ryan kept yelling, to mo and telling me if "stick the left out." Near the end o. the round there was a fuss in the corner, and when I walked back for the rest before the twentieth Brady was in the corner and Tommy Ryan had disappeared. Brady told me afterward that Ryan's advice made him more and more suspicious as the fight went on. He began to suspect that Ryan was trying to make me lose, so he jumped up and told Ryan to get out of my corner. "Get down or I'll bust your head," Ryan said. Brady jumped down and went out for two policemen with their clubs. He put them right behind my corner and climbed up again. "You get away from this corner," said Brady "Get away yourself before I take a punch at you," said Ryan. "This is my club, and I'm Jeff's manager." said Brady. "I'm just hiring you. If you don't get back there and keep still I'll hand you to those two cops, and they'll throw you out." Tommy looked at the cops and climbed down. Brady jumped up, and as I came back to my corner he whispered: "Jim, they've got the tip over in the other corner that Corbett's going to get the decision. Your only change is to knock him out. Forget everything about boxing and go out and fight." From that on I never gave Cobbott time to stop on one spot. I know I'd have to get him. I had my second wind, and the tired feeling had all gone. As for Corbett, he was wiling Game and clever as he was, he could not stand the pace much longer. He ran for his life around the ring, and when I caught him he slipped his left shoulder into me and clinched. In the twaty-second I a swung my right so hard that it knocked him down, although it only landed on his shoulder. Corbett jumped up instantly and mixed with me. I put a heavy left into his ribs, which were red and sore now, and he wioched and lost some of his speed. The bell rang, and I wont back to my chair. Tom O'Doukree ran around to my corner and said to Brady: "For heaven's sake send this man in. He's losing!" "I am, am I?" I said to myself. "Just then the bell rang for the beginning of the twenty-third. There wasn't much time left, and I surely didn't want to risk losing that championship decision. I jumped out of my chair and ran at Corbett as hard as I could go. He jabbed lightly and skipped away, but before he could gather himself I was after him with a rush." drove him back nearly to the ropes, and here I saw the right chance at last. I booked my left into his stomach, throwing him back hard against the ropes within a yard of his own corner. As he bounced back I brought the left up obliquely to his jaw—my double punch. It lifted Corbett up in the air, and he foil to the door solidly like a sack of grain. His right arm is under him and his neck rested across the rope of the ring. He struggled a little and fold back limp, and White began to count. While the count was going on I saw Considine trying to throw a bucket of water over Corbett to arouse him, which was against the rules of the game. Reaching through the ropes, I kicked at Considine to drive him back, and he fell over two or three people, water bucket and all Jim was counted out, and Charlie White helped to carry him to his corner. After a minute or so he revived enough to stagger over and shake hands. I felt sorry for him, for he certainly had made a great and a game fight. That was a night to be remembered. The light had been so sensational that when it was all over the crowd went wild. Hundreds of people awarmed over the ring, some cheering for Corbett because of his dine showing and some for me because I had won like a champion with a knockout. I got dressed as soon as I could and started for Ben Cohen's. I had my lucky No. I room there that night. It was only a block or so from the club, and I tried to hustle through the crowd. But it was no use. Before I knew what was happening a lot of men grabbed me and shoved me up on their shoulders. There wasn't any use in struggling, so I just lay back across a bunch of heads as if I had a couch under me, with a big cigar in my mouth, and made the best of it. BRAKES ON BATTLESHIP. Steel Wings on Indiana Open to Check Speed. WON'T ADOPT SHIP BRAKES Naval Board Finds It Increases Danger From Tornado Attack. Although it has been demonstrated by practical trials that were made on the battleship Indiana that what is known as the "ship brake" will undoubtedly stop a vessel in somewhat less time than were it not employed, the device has been found unsuitable for naval use. The naval board which conducted the test holds that the brake, which resembles a barn door on either side of the ship, would soon become clogged with barnacles unless constantly employed. It would also increase the danger from torpedo attack; would be a grave menace in close evolutions, and would retard the speed of the ship Murdered by Black Hand.

SATURDAY ... JUNE 23, 1910 THE TROUBLE IN CALIFORNIA. The feeling which has been aroused in this country against the championship battle between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson is largely due in our judgment to racial antipathy, and the growing apprehension among the Negro haters that Jack Johnson is liable to win the contest. Of course there is a moral sentiment which abhors these kind of brutal exhibitions, but it has not been strong enough to exert such an influence as to cause the Governor of a great state to do what he himself has previously declared that he had no power to do. That the contest will take place admits of no question as the promoters have too much money involved to give up on short notice. We have never been able to see that any race question whatever involved. White men are backing Jeffries and white men are backing Johnson. There is no more sentiment in it than there is in a white race horse and a black race horse. Jack Johnson is an athletic wonder just as Jeffries has been. He has all of the odds in his favor save those based upon race prejudice. He has made many blunders, but none in the matter of training. He likes advertising. He likes a fight whether it be with his fists or in the courts. The people of the United States are against the match and yet the people of the United States will stand at every bulletin board in the country to enjoy themselves and be happy upon being able to read the result of each round as the game proceeds. This is an age of hypocrisy we believe. The temperance man condemns whiskey, and yet the temperance man takes his dram or toddy "on the sly." The moralist abhors immorality and yet the moralist will indulge in secret immorality, when he is sure of not being detected. The profound church officer will lay down the rule of conduct for the governing of the lay members and yet this profound church officer will violate the very rule that he advocates. We do not mean to say that all of them are this way, but enough are culpable to cause the average person to sit up and take notice, wondering if this is an age of doception and the day of chronic deceit and duplicity. Still, these peculiarities existed during the time of the Saviour for they are spoken about in the scriptures. Makes Due Threats Against Virgini ana—Attacks the Cleveland Gazette Too—Its Able Editor. The I. L. U of Dayton O. is evidently much disturbed by the agitation in the country coupled with the drastic treatment it has received at the hands of the efficient commissioners of insurance of this state. Hon. Joseph Button. It is issuing and distributing a circular which will react upon Mr. W G Critchlow Hon H C Smith is one of the best known race leaders in the country and his integrity is unquestioned. Here is the circular STATEMENT The Cleveland Gazette, published by one Harry D Smith of Cleveland, Ohio carried in a recent issue an attack on this Union Sold attack was reprinted from the Richmond PLANET, Richmond Va. The Richmond PLANET was evidently given their piece by the Insurance Commissioner of Virginia. The Commissioner got the piece from the Dayton Journal, a daily paper published in Dayton, Ohio. THE TRUTH The Insurance Commissioner of Virginia opposes this Union because we refuse to be coerced by his department into paying tax in that state as an Insurance Company. This Union is not an Insurance Company, never has been, never pretended to be and never will be so far as now known. Therefore, it will not be forced into paying excessive insurance taxes in Virginia. HOW IT ALL HAPPENED The Insurance Commissioner's Department evidently worked some scheme to get an article evidently written in that office, into the columns of the Dayton Journal. They then evidently took the piece and sent it out to the papers of that state. Probably they hoged to thus put this Union out of business. It is certain they were afraid to stand for the story sent out, and so hid behind the name of the Dayton Journal. THE PLANET The PLANET got the piece and printed it. That paper was at that day and date under contract with this Union, duly signed and sealed their contract without notice to this They Violated a specific clause of Union This indicates to us the management behind the publication who regard their signed contracts so lightly The matter is now in the hands of attorneys for this Union to investigate that paper a financial standing with regard to civil suit for breach of contract THE CLEVELAND GAZETTE The Cleveland Gazette copied the piece from THE PLANET That paper had been trying to get some of the money of this Union for advertising and failed. Failing to get our money he becomes a knocker. Read these letters from the publisher of that paper to this Union and see. THE LETTER The Gazette Cleveland, Ohio Harry C. Smith, Proper' (Dated) September 30 1909 Mr Critchlow Dear Sir — We will run your 54 inch adv. (electro) six months, every other week, for sixty dollars cash to accompany electrotype with order to insert the same aa per instructions. This is an extremely low rate because of the size and kind of adv., and the length of time for which you desire it inserted. During its life in the Gazette we will give you without extra charge a ten line read notice which you can send three times—one every month HERE IS ANOTHER The Gazette. Blackstone Bldg. Cleveland, Ohio Harry C Smith Propr (Dated) November 4 1909 W.G. Critchlow, Dear Sir —Were the rates we gave you or your large electro adv satis- factory or not? Answer Yours very truly Signed H. C SMITH NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? These letters show for themselves. Smith did not get the contract. Now he starts knocking. He wanted our $60 00, and falling to get same he turns the other way What do you think of that follow? THE REASON WHY The reason the Gazette did not get the contract was because of its statement in a letter dated August 20, 1909, as follows "The Gazette has no equal in its class (race) as an advertising medium, reaching more Afro-Americans in central, southern and western U 8. than any, other publication." That statement we know to be false and we can prove it. If the proprietor was so far from the truth in one statement in which we had the correct particulare, we would not care to trust him in others. Draw your own conclusions as to this paper's motive. THE DAYTON JOURNAL The next day after publication the Dayton Journal retracted the statement worked into its columns by the Virginia people. The management of the Journal say they cannot understand how such a statement got into their columns and they not only regretted it, but retracted it and published a complete denial signed by this union. Every other Dayton tally paper investigated the story, found it to be a "faked" newspaper story, and would not print a line of it.

Derry 16 Draw your own conclusions THE STORY The story referred to herein is false in nearly every particular—it is misleading—it is malicious—and the printing of it we believe constitutes criminal libel under the United States laws RETRACTION Every paper printing said story that comes to the attention of this Union will be asked to print a retraction of same. Failing to do so the matter will be referred to our attorneys, with instructions to spare no expense in investigating financial responsibility of every such paper, and where responsible to file suit for civil damages—and if possible to have arrested under the United State criminal libel laws. We purpose to protect our good name, the good name and integrity of our officials, and to stand back of the reputation for fair dealings that we have in the eight years past built up. ONE MORE PAPER One South Carolina paper published the story, too. This paper failed to get a 1910 advertising contract with this Union, though it was tried. That may have had something to do with their position—who knows? Their case has been placed under investigation NOT A COLORED UNION This is not a colored Union Neither is it a white Union This Union draws no color line It recognizes no race discrimination in accepting membership And this Union is a success. Over eight years in business—over 1,000 Unions chartered—over 58,000 memberships issued—and we are here ready to prove it to all honest comers Come and see us.

We will guarantee you the surprise of your lives when you see our institution. If you cannot come, send a friend who lives near You or your friends will be welcome. ASK THEM. If you find any one talking against this Union ask them what they know. If we please our members and customers, why not boost instead of knock? We do business with all people. We do not draw the color line. Our business is world wide, among people of all colors, creeds and races. We spend a lot of money in colored papers, and hope you appreciate it.

A homing pigeon flow on board the steamer Kansas City, from Swansea, Wales, when the vessel was sixty miles east of Fire island. Captain Franklin reported, when the Kansas City reached New York, that the pigeon had a silver ring on its right leg marked "T S. L., 1804, 1849." Naval Pageant and Land Parade Viewed by Hundreds of Thousands, Who Tender Him Great Ovation. Theodore Roosevelt is home His reception on Saturday exceeded in enthusiasm any given to a private individual in this country, or elsewhere for all of that. That the expresident appreciated the honors bestowed upon him was plainly evident from his vigorous node to right and left, accompanied by his usual smiles. Flags, bunting, Teddy bears, G O. P. elephants and welcome signs were seen everywhere. The din was at its height when the Roosevelt party was esploded on the upper forward deck, the colonel boyishly waving his hat to Collector William Loeb and other friends on the revenue cutter Androscoggin. By his side were Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Miss Ethel and Kermit Roosevelt and Secretary of the Navy Meyer, who met the steamer at Sandy Hook Friday night. There was but one warship and five torpedo boats in the fleet, but it lacked nothing of dignity because of the necessary omission. There were twelve divisions, each commanded by a vice commodore under the general supervision of Fred B. Daleil. In the first and second division were steamboats carrying members of various political organizations. Straight up the North river the procession moved, factories and vessels along the shores adding their whistles to the din that carried for miles. The boats were in two lines 200 feet apart and kept up the New Jersey side of the river to Fifty-ninth street, where a stakeboat was placed. On the return trip the boats followed the New York side and enabled Colonel Roosevelt to review the procession, the Androscoggin passing through the center of the fistula. By the time Colonel Roosevelt arrived at the Battery the boats were still moving up the river. Col. Roosevelt and the reception committee disembarked at the Battery, where Mayor Gaynor awaited them. Every available foot of ground not guarded with physical force by the police was occupied, and it was with difficulty that Breadway was kept clear for the land parade. The debarkation was the signal for the start of a hoarse roar from the crowd, which was but temporarily checked by the presidential salute of twenty-one guns from the North Carolina. The arrangements at the Battery were so perfect that Colonel Roosevelt was landed without inconvenience and made his way on a raised walk from the pier to the platform facing Battery park in comparative comfort. The windows and roofs of the surrounding skyscrapers reflected the masses of people on the Hudson's shores, and no point of vantage was too dangerous to lack an occupant. According to the committee's program, the ceremonies of welcome were brief. The advance of Mr. Roosevelt to the front of the platform was the signal for a marvelous demonstration. during which time he renewed his acquaintance with Mayor Gaynor and others and then waited for the tumult to subside. The noise would dale away, and then the colonel, catching sight of some child in the crowd who was waving a handkerchief, would smile broadly and wave his hand, and the noise began again. The mayor's remarks were inaudible to those within the charmed roped circle in front of the stand and to the committeemen and others on the reserved section of the stand. The people seemed content with looking at the ex-president and occasionally cheering without other incentive. Hence the same conditions prevailed when Colonel Roosevelt made his brief reply. He thanked the committee and through it New York and the states generally which had tendered him the welcome, which he felt more deeply than any honor yet tendered him. If the naval parade was a success the parade up Broadway and Fifth avenue was trefully so. It was here that the thousands upon thousands who lined the streets could see the man who had caused this uproar and greet him, and the canyon of Broadway resounded with caers. Here, as at the Battery, the office buildings were all jammed with sightseers. Even the wonderful height of the Singer tower was no obstacle to privileged ones who gazed at a spectacle that must have resembled an ants' procession in their eyes. The band of Squadron A, the crack cavalry troop of Manhattan, led the Spanish war veterans, of whom several thousand were in line in the khaki of the Cuban and Philippine campaigns. Bringing up the rear were Captain Jack Abernathy, federal marshal of Oklahoma, and his sons. Louis and Temple, aged ten and six years respectively. From the Narrows to Central Park it was the same, a continuous ovation but Colonel Roosevelt seemed never too tired to bow and smile, and the satisfied the people. COL. ROOSEVELT. Latest Picture of the Former President. ```markdown ``` SPORTING GOSSIP Governor Orders Attorney-General to Prevent Johnson-Jeffries Battle San Francisco, June 15.—Gov Gillett today ordered Attorney-General Webb to measures to prevent the Jeffries-Johnson fight in San Francisco. The fight promoters were dumfounded, for the Governor in an interview in the East and since his return had declared that responsibility to the fight rector with the District Attorney-General. The Governor's purpose to prevent the fight was outlined in a letter addressed to Attorney-General U S. Webb. On receipt of the communication from the Governor the Attorney-General and his chief assistant, Ray Doejohn, went into conference to consider the legal phases of the case. Governor Gillett is evidently determined to put an end to pristigging in California, for late this afternoon he sent a telegram to the Attorney-General ordering him to stop the Langford-Kaufman fight scheduled for next Saturday afternoon in September. This despatch intensified the bloat that followed headquarters of the pristignt promoters, as it was recognized as the death knell of prigilism in California. No promoter can afford to antagonize the Governor, as the Attorney-General's deputies could stop any boxing match as soon as blood was shed and the spectacle became brutal. All talk about taking legal measures is recognised here as absurd, for every lawyer who has been here in years has been a genuine prizedight and under the law a felony. The action of Gov Gillett was a hard blow to the sporting men, but what they don't know is that the Governor's hand was forced from Washington. The Governor in his jealousy deplores that he has convinced that the function stated for July 1 will be a prized gift and not a boxing contest, and as price fighting is dechlorated by California law to be a felony he feels his duty to stop the contest. This is the Governor's official position and real reason that prompted him to take this action was a telegraphic warning he received last night from Congressman Bennet of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Mr. Bennett wired that unless the Governor prevented the Jenkins-Johnson fight San Francisco need no delay. Virtually the same dispatch from Mrs. Bennett was received by William R. Wheeler, president of the Chamber of Commerce or San Francisco. This ultimate made the Governor take quick action, especially as it was seconded by despatches from California Congressmen and Senators. On the other side are business and hotel men of San Francisco, who are up in arms because of the Governor's action. They do not appreciate the danger of the city losing the Panama fair. The Governor's letter to the Attorney-General follows. EXECUTIVE OFFICE Sacramento, Juppe 14, 1910. The Hon. U. S. Webb. Attorney-Gen. Bral, San Francisco. Dear Sir: I desire call your attention to a so-called prison sight to take place on the Fourth of July next in the city of San Francisco between one Jim Jeffries and one Jack Johnson. Many complaints are received at this office from prominent citizens of the State protesting against the so-called fight and requesting that some action be taken by the proper authorities to stop the same. The District Attorney of San Francisco has informed me that he does not propose to interfere in the matter. The first session of the Legislature, held in this State in the year 1850, unset a law making it a felony for the person to each other a previous agreement, upon a waiver for money or any other reward. This law has been amended from time to time, but never so as to make prisons fathing lawful. In 1903 the Legislature again amended the law relating to price-fighting. While the law is amended permitted "sparring exhibitions" for a limited number of rounds with gloves to be held by a domestic incorporated club, it did not remove the ban which the laws of 1903 imposed, and while a "sparring exhibition" under certain conditions and restrictions is permissible under this act, a price-fight still remains a felony. Therefore the question arises, "What is a price-fight and what is a sparring exhibition?" The former is a crime, the latter is lawful. It is claimed by many that the contest soon to take place between Jeffries and Johnson is to be a price-fight, as that term is understood in the law, and therefore a crime under law. If this failure it should be prevented, but if carried out the guilty parties should be punished by law. I believe that you should investigate the matter and take such legal steps as may be proper in your judgment if warranted by the facts in pressing the case to the court for its decision and ask to hawp all intergrated parties enjoined pending the hearing. "Our Supreme Court has never defined a prizefight and I believe that an opportunity should be given it so. Since the amendment of exhibition prizefighting, under the gules of this amendment has greatly increased and has been tolerated in California until today our State is a Mecca for prizefighting, much to our dishrodt. Our people have the right to demand that prizefighting shall cease in this State, and it will if our present laws are enforced, especially if our courts follow the direction of the Supreme Courts of our sister States in defining a prizefight. When then reviews reports of the Moran-Molest fight and the Nelson-Wolgast fight to show that they were rog prizefights, He concludes If these contests were not price-fights then the historic battle between Heenan and Sayres was not one. I have no doubt that the coming content between Jeffries and Johnson be a reposition of the brutality mentioned in the ongoing fights only on a larger scale. If "a sparring exhibitions," as permitted by our laws, means fights where men are killed, beaten into insufficiency and their faces "cut into ribs" are lawful acts then it is time that the Legislature should interfere and make such exhibitions or contests as elony. When contests are price-fights not permitted by the law and should be punished as such. Those who engage in them are price-fighters and make their living by fighting each other for prizes and rewards. The whole business is demoralising to the youth of our State, corrupt public morals, if offensive to the senses of a great majority of our citizens should be abated as a public nuisance and the offenders punished. If the court upon your petition reuses to grant the relief prayed for therein and permits the parties interested to proceed as advertised by the court to grant all of the people of the State to gather all evidence possible and if the contest is carried out as advertised and the parties fight for a purse or money or for a reward and inflict upon each other bodily injury then you are to use the law of those interested with them in promoting the fight and try them on a felony charge for violating section 412 of the Penal Code. Yours truly. J. N. GILLETT Attorney-General Wobb and after studying the Governor's letter to him. "The letter of the Governor is a positive and porcupine command addressed to this office to prevent the Joffries-Johnson fight. The Governor states that facts are presented to him a priscifix and a priscifix are prohibited by the laws of this State. This command the Governor has the right and power to make and it is the duty of this office to comply. He shall take such action as the law warrants to prevent the 4th being hold. "The Governor's instructions will be followed to the letter. I am not at liberty to state just the character of the proceedings that will be instituted, but such action or actions the ends desired by the Governor will be brought." Tex Rickard was plainly rattled when he heard of the Governor's action, it is the first time he has lost his nerve since he began the campaign to fight the battle. He said this afternoon: "As soon as I receive official notification of the Governor's action I shall order all work stopped on the night arena and move our camp at once to Salt Lake City. That the Governor should interfere at this late hour especially after his many public statements that he would not do so. We can't buck Gov. Gillett, and if he is determined to stop the mill I will immediately arrange to stage it in other parts. Reno and Ely, Nov., and Cedar Rapids were proposed to do the fight, and can put it on for July 4." "Manager Woods of the St. Francis Hotel has just telephoned that he will call a meeting of business men of the city tomorrow to protest against the Governor's late mygo. He will lose a barrel of money if the fight must go to other parts. Only today I sold 1,000 tickets to some of the richest men of Canada, who would have spent a great deal of money here. The prison schon when seen at his training quarters took the Governor's decision philosophically. He said, with a grin that showed all his gold teeth: "I am ready to go to any part of the world to defend my title, providing the contest cannot be held here. He will take such an arbitrary stand so late in the day. Why, no later than two weeks ago he denied having any interest whatever in the exhibition beyond the general interest which is taken by practically every man, woman and child in the city. He has switched around so completely. "Go to Nevada? Sure. I shall go there or any other place that Joffries agrees to go, Salt Lake, Australia or Kingdom Come. Though I don't suppose either Joffries or myself would train at aas level, I am ready to do anything within reason that Gleason and Rickard ask me to do. But I still think that contest will come off at Eighth and Market Streets per schedule." Rowardonnan, June 15. When the book has been read, Gleason left had ordered the big fight stopped there was consternation. At first no one would believe it, and Joffries was most obdurate of all. "I. I can't believe it, I can't believe it," he monned. "It's almost impossible that the Governor would interfere at this hour. If he intended to take action, the Governor has been quoted as saying he had looked into the law and, found that the match was not a violation of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA any of its provisional" Upon being assured that the report was authentic and that Gov. Gillitt had ordered the Attorney-General to act, Jeffries suddenly became tac-turn and it was hard to get a word out of him. He joined Mrs. Jeffries on the porch of the hotel and they quietly discussed the latest turn events had taken. After much persuasion Jeffries finally said: "If the news is correct I will continue training until I hear from Rickard. Then after that my actions will be guided by the rules. If they want us to fight, we should I suppose we will have to, but that will be up to the promoter." After relapsing into another spoil of silence he resumed: "I can't see how this affair differs from any other fight I have had in California. If we are breaking the law I now broke it when I fought Morroc, Fitzsimmons, Corbett and Cottt. My articles I signed with Johnson are same as I signed with these other fights, them over for yourself. California has a law that allows boxing bouts and we are boxing under it." Rono, Nov. June 15 -- There is no indication that the Jeffries-Johnson firm promoters will be interfered with if they decide to pull of the event in this city or Ely, both have news of Gov. Gillett's action reached here today local sports wired Tox Rickard to bring the fight here and a mass meeting of business men was held tonight at which a committee was appointed to secure the big event. Large subscriptions were announced and committee expects to be able to raise at least $100 000 before tomorrow night. Gov. Dickerson is absent from the State, but other State officers are in favor of allowing the fight and say that they know the Governor will not interfere with it. The laws of the State provide that if the finance fee of $1,000 is paid, men may be ordered to writing on any conditions they please and for any number of rounds. It is believed here that while Rickard and the principals would prefer Salt Lake to any Nevada city, the city would be there in that case the sight would not come here, as it would be out of the question for Texas or any Southern State to get it at this season of the year. A telegram was sent to Rickard and the principals to provide an arena and pay the staff. If he would bring the fight here. Promoters Give Up All Hopes of Holding Battle in California. San Francisco Cal. June 20—With the departure of Tex Rickard today the Reno to the question of a stage for the heavyweight fight ship fight on July 4th was shifted definitely from California to Nevada. After the interview that Mayor McCarthy held yesterday with Governor Gillet failed to produce and positive results the promoters admitted that the last chance of holding the fight was gone, gimmoring, and the command went back Rickard to the training camps to pack up for a journey to Nevada. Both camps obeyed orders, and are now awaiting final instructions from Rickard, who reaches Reno tonight. As he expects to hold an immediate conference with the respective fight promoter committees from Reno and Fillmore, it will be that the two camps will receive marching orders tomorrow. That active, preparations are making to shift the Langford and Ketchle fight to Nevada was manifest today when Joe Woodman instructed his Reno representative to procure training quarters at Reno for Langford, Sid Hester, who promoted the Nelson team. He said that he is Reno, and it is believed that he is trying to get a permit for a fight between Langford and Ketchle. Dickerson May Oppose Fight. San Francisco, Cal., June 20. — Reports that Governor Dickerson, of Nevada, may declare himself against the holding of the Jerries and John son fight in the Sagebrush State was received at the Johnson camp today. Johnson himself was the recipient, and he divulged whence the information came. It cast a noticeable gloom over the training quarters. Jack said he intended to leave the beach Thursday evening for Reno, but that he would wait until he received word from Tex Rickard or manager Flanagan that Governor Dickerson was in favor of expressing himself in favor of waiting until the news had been received from the promoter. Will Start Another Protest Columbus, D. June 20—George W. Rockwell, chairman of the "Stop That Fight" post card movement, which "claimed a share of the credit" it for removing the Jeffries and Johnson fast from California tonight announced that tomorrow a similar movement of protest to Governor Dickerson, of Novada, would be started against the holding of the context in Nevada. Tun thousand positions directed to the Governor will be bound to the country, without the country, and the recipients will be asked to get from 20 to 500 signers for each and forward them to Governor Dickerson. Will Break Up Ben Lomond Camp. Ben Lomond Cal, June 20 — James J. Jeffries, accompanied by trainers, sparing partners, court leaders and one manager, will bid admonition to Ben Lomond tomorrow and start for Nevada. From the quiet retreat in the Santa Crus Mountains, where Jeffries transformed himself from actor to fighter, the former champion will go to Oakland and stay until the Jeffries special train leaves for Kend tomorrow night. Blot Backs, Up, "Footpounding". Mill Making it Certain That Big Bout Will Be Fought in Nevada Ring San Francisco, June 12 "On to Rono" is the ory of the big bridegale, Convinced by the "postp幂ement" of the Kaufman and Langford match that Kaufman and Langford definitely had been eliminated as possible scene of the Jeffries and the light positive announcement in exposed tomorrow "that the battle of the century" will be fought in Nevada Tomorrow night, at Reno, Tex Rickard will receive bids for the big content from committees representing Rono, Goldfield, and Ely. The city offering the most substantial fight in ducement, he said, will get the match against him, and it will immediately announced. It is generally the know ever, that Rono will be the choice. The Jaws of Novada do not prohibit prize fights and no serious obstacle to staging of the great battle in that State is anticipated. After his turbulent experience of the last few days, a calm appears to have settled over Rickard. Breathing freely once more, he is inclined to feast about him. "I think we are getting this championship into a safe port at last," he told the newspaper men today, and he smiled grimly over the pun. FIGHTERS ARE READY TO MOVE Both Jeffries and Johnson are awakening the word to move. Preparations to break camp, have been completed, and on Monday morning the exodus of fighters and trainers from Ben Lomond and San Francisco is expected to begin. Tenative arrangements for quarter at Reno already have been made for both Jeffries and Johnson. The capitulation today of Louis Blot, promoter of the Langford-Kaufman contest, as a result of Gov. Gillett's order to prevent the fight, ended a stressful situation. Blot's determination to hold the fight, though shortlived, was fraught with exciting possibilities, involving the calling out of militia, the perpetual mother's open defiance of the chief executive, no serious importance was attached to his attitude and his "back-down" caused little surprise. A big crowd surrounded Blot's arena this afternoon, curious to witness the toast of strength between Blot and the authorities. Mounted police threaded their way among the spectators of the patrolmen managed to keep the crowd Blot stood at the entrance of his arena and greeted Adjutant General Lauck and Chief of Police Martin when they motored up to ascertain what was happening. Neither Kaufman nor Langford appeared, however and finally the crowd melted away INSISTS HE WILL MAKE TEST. Blot said that it had been decided to withdraw the main fight in favor of a third rate bout to be held Monday, with the intention of forcing the governor to interfere "with his troops." Blot said, after which the matter could be taken into court as a case, he said he would be secured in 48 hours, and he was cleared for the Langford-Kaufman fight. When informed of Blot's plans, the governor, who was in Sacramento, stated to the Associated Press this afternoon that Blot would meet with no interference in conducting a boxing match, and would have nothing to do with prison fights. That the governor and the adjutant general were prepared to take militant measures if Blot had persisted in his intention to hold the Kaufman-Langford fight, there is no doubt. It is understood that a strong force of militia, now in camp at the Presidio, was ready for dash to the governor, who arrived there within fifteen minutes of the issuance of the governor's order. Blot paroles in his assertion that the contest has been "merely" "postponed" until next Saturday, in order to stage a minor boxing event, against the holding of which he hopes the governor will take action, so that a contest case can be put up to the courts ACTING MAYOR IS PEEVISH Sputterings of the controversy between the governor and the local authorities continue to attract attention. Acting Mayor J. A Kelley issued a signed statement this afternoon of the governor to send troops into this peaceful community to prevent Blot's contest if the city officers refused to take action. As the situation now stands Gov Gillett is the victor, and prize fighting in the contest over, for the presence of least Rickard. Rickard urging him to take the matter to the courts, assuring him that the Governor is in the wrong and that he will win out and be able to pull off the fight here. But Rickard declares he has no intention of opposing the State authorities, and that the fight will succeed. It is a significant fact also that both Johries and Johann are looking for training quarters in Reno. JOHNSON'S "FAREWELL DAY." Champion Will Box With Partners Before Leaving for Reno. San Francisco. June 18.—San Francisco fight fans will have their last opportunity to see Champion Jack Johnson in action at his training camp. He will be wowing morning. He will bus twelve rounds in this spe- ring partners, and will put in a long session in the gymnasium. It will be known as "fatewell day." All hope has been abandoned by Johnson and his manager of having Josh Johnson take place in San Francisco. Preparations have been made for a quick departure on Monday for Reno. Johnson announces today that he would box four rounds with Cotton, a like number with Dave Mills, and two rounds with Kaufman tomorrow. The champion put in 3.5 miles on the road today.

June 18 — With training apparatus and his new outdoor adventure, at considerable expense and trouble, stowed away and everything packed, Jim Jeffries is awaiting orders where to move. While Rickard and Gleason have not yet sent definite word, Reno is virtually accepted to the place by Jeffries. He made arrangements to his camp at a resort within a few miles. Jim Jeffries and his party expect to leave here Monday morning. The pugilist put in a strenuous forenoon, but with the stowing away of the last of his training apparatus he was forced to idleness in the afternoon. Tomorrow he will go to Santa where he will give his final boxing exhibition before the big fight M'CARTHY WILL NOT TALK Beaches Home and Asks for Time to Inform Himself on Situation. San Francisco. June 18 — Mayor P H McCarthy returned today from the East, where he had been for the last six weeks on business, still suffering broken ankle, which he received in an automobile accident in Indianapolis. The mayor was taken from the train at Oakland Mole in a wheel chair to an automobile, which carried him on board the ferryboat. He was met at the Mole by District Attorney Flickert, Chief of Police Martin, the police commissioner, and other city officers. The mayor refused to discuss the activity Oculit is stopping the Langford and Kaufman saying that he would not discuss the governor's acts in this connection until he had time to inform himself thoroughly of the facts of the case. State Authorities Will Make No Attempt to Interfere. Rono, Nov. June 21 —With Reno definitely fixed as the battleground, with assurance from Governor Dickerson that no attempt to interfere will be made, by the State authorities and with preparations already under for building the arena, the Jeffries and Johnson fight seems certain of fulfilment. The selection of a site for staging the big fight was made this afternoon it is a rocky field in East Reno, about a mile and a half from the heart of the city it is familiar in ring history as the scene of the Hart and Root contest of July 4. 1906 it is regarded as an ideal place, as it affords plenty of ground for a spacious structure. Contractor McLaughlin went over the place today with Rickerson and the Reno fight committee and immediately began to carry out plans already prepared for the construction of the arena. A building about 300 feet square, modeled along the lines of the structure begun in San Francisco, will be completed by the first of next month. TRAINING QUARTERS CHOSEN Another selection made this after noon was training quarters for Jack Johnson Tom Flanagan, the champion's manager, after looking over several sites, finally settled on a road house, three miles southwest of Reno, known as Rick's resort. According to Flanagan, it is an excellent training camp, and affords all necessary facilities. Joftries will be stationed at Moana Springs, three miles south of Reno. Nothing, according to Manager Burger's reports, is lacking at this place that could be desired in connection with a fighter's camp. Natural hot and cold springs, an open-air pavilion already provided, comfortable sleeping quarters, and nearby fishing streams and lakes are among the inducements offered. A double fight will be Reno's offence in carrying out his plan to stage the Langford and Ketchikan in the morning of the big battle in the same arena. Hester was busy today endorsing to arrange a permit and in looking over numerous 'atts for training quarters for his fighters. RICKARD'S ANNOUNCEMENT. Richard's announcement of the selection of the battleground for the Jeffries-Johnson contest was made in the form of a signed statement as follows: "I have decided to hold the Jeffries-Johnson fight in Reno.

It is a picture of the con- tending forces of good and evil in the world, and the history of the good. The Good Seed. Vs. 21, 37, 35 "The kingdom of heaven" is the king- dom which has its origin in heaven, and which Jeans as king came to establish on earth in which the laws of heaven are obeyed on earth, so that earth becomes like heaven The Sower of the Good Seed —Vs. 24, 37. The man represents the “Bon of Man,” in whom God was manifest in the seed sowing. He is the source of all good seed. He began in the Garden of Eden, and has been sowing ever since. Every good man, wherever found, is a child of God, born from above by the Spirit, and made alive with the life of God. The Field Sown —Vs. 24, 38. “The field is the world.” It is not the church, but the whole world, not Christian lands; but all lands in which the true church is the good seed. “In his field.” The whole world belongs rightfully to Christ. The sowing of tares is a usurpation Christ “came unto his own.” The Good Seed —Vs. 24, 38. “The good seed are the children of the kingdom,” those who in heart belong to the kingdom, are filled with its spirit, and drive to live according to its principles. God's children are good seed, living seed The principle of life, of increase is in them Dead seeds do not increase. A dead church does not grow, and this is fortunate, for neither God nor man destroys an increase of that kind of Christians or churches. There is a great variety of good seed adapted to all seasons and all circumstances, producing different kinds of fruit at different times. But remember that Christians are planted as well as sown, planted where God destroys them to be, by the streams of water" (Lea 1 3) The Enemy Sowing Tarsa Among the Wheat — Va 25, 28, 39 "While man slopt, that is, secretly, when the good did not realize what was going on, any more than a sleeping person" The beginnings of evil are often scarcely discernible The young often begin courses of evil, as unconscious of its tendencies and outcome, as if they were sound sage "His Enemy"—The wicked one, the devil (vs 38-29). He was the original source of evil among men. The story is truly told in Genesis. God is not the author of sin either at first, nor at any time since. Everything God does is toward making men good. "The tares are the children of the wicked one," filled with his spirit, living according to his principles, and under his control. They are not a degenerate form of virtue, but as distinct as virtue and vice. They often resemble the good till the fruit begins to appear, but they are as different as wheat and tares, as thistles and roses. The Wheat and Tars Growing Together —Vs 26, 30. “Let both grow together until the harvest.” Because at first it is very difficult to distinguish between the wheat and the tars. The tars are counterfeit wheat. Because when the distinction is clearer, there is danger less “while you gather up the tars, ye root up also the wheat with them,” for the roots of the two are interlaced together. It is absolutely necessary before the grain is used in the harvest, “to avoid the mingling of the kernels of the darnel and the wheat least the bread be polished. The Harvest The Fate of the Tars. —Vs 30, 29-42. “Let both grow together until the harvest, which takes place at the end of the world” (v 29), or age “Say to the reapers . . . the angois” (v 39), (Matt. 16 27, 24:21; 2 Thas. 1, 7); any beings or powers which accomplish this work. "To burn them." So as to destroy their power of evil, and to keep them from spreading "They shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend" (v 41), that cause others to stumble in the path of righteousness. The Harvest. The blessings of the righteous.—Va. 30. 43. "Then, when separated from evil, "shall the righteous shine forth as the sun." Here are found hope and cheer short times of opposition and the flourishing of evil. Make the evil help the good. Christians themelizes are educated and disciplined by contact with the lares. They would not be nearly no good if shut off in a community by themselves. Tarsw would still come in. If the wheat does not seek to change the tarsw fate, whee wheal will degenerate into tarea. This is always so when good people would force themselves in from all contact with the world, whether by monasteries and convents, or by exclusives of churches, or neglect of missionary work. As Professor Howne says, 'Character cannot be good regardless of all.' HAMILTON MAKES LONG FLIGHT 172 MILES IN 209 MINUTES Daring Avator Wins $'0,000 Prize Offered by New York Newspaper Cheered byuge Crowds Charles I. Bauer on the little red hair in a suit, the upper arm and a few from New York to Philadelphia and back accented with the $'10 prize offered by the New York Times. The flight was made without mischance. Stight as a person on the wing Hamilton had some other officers and farms winging an unrestricted course. At 2:25 am he was shaking hands with governor Smart of Pennsylvania right, right made from cowerners Island. He made the trip to Philadelphia in 1 hour and 49 minutes. His luck failed him on the journey home or he might have beaten Paul than a record for uninterrupted sight — 117 miles London to Litchfield Fifty three miles from Philadelphia he lost his bearings mistaking a green patch of Jersey for Staten Island, and simultaneously two of the eight cylinders of his engine coughed and quit work. He dropped into the clutch of a swamp near South Amboy and it was hours before repairs could be made and the aviator could escape the immense crowd that swarmed from the Jersey towns. As it was, his actual flying time for the 172 miles was 209 minutes, and he fulfilled to the letter his contract with the New York Times to make a round trip from New York to Philadelphia within twenty-four hours. Glenn H. [Signature] Photo by American Press Association CHARLES K. HAMILTON Curtles, the first man in this country to make long distance calls in a flying machine, said he considered Hamilton's achievement the greatest in the history of aviation unsurpassed in that Hamilton struck out a course for himself, without land buoys to guide him, without a charted route to help him, and accomplished the feat with such accuracy that he kept to the sea on the schedule he had laid out. Few men have received the kind of reception that Hamilton got when he dropped out of the clouds. Along the Battery, the water front of lower Brooklyn, the edge of State Island and the Jersey shore the plains and sea walls were black with people. Thousands of them had waited for hours, awayed by rumors that came from the Amboy swamp on Governor's Island, at the aviation grounds a thousand chicks were turned skyward. Hamilton came so fast that a few seconds after the officer spotted him the aerialplane was discernible to the naked oye. You saw, painted against the gray mists of Staten Island a blur. Tep seconds more and it was a wide winged bird, a bird with its head tucked out of sight. On it came in a line a quarter of a mile south of the Statue of Liberty, 400 feet above the bay. In another flash of time you made out the clean lines of the planes and you could see Hamilton crouched over his steering wheel. As the air currents, frisked above the water, they dipped the aerialplane to the left and right. While still over the bay, but rapidly nearing the sea wall of Governor's Island, Hamilton shut off power. The propeller ceased its faint droning, revolved slowly for a few times, and the machine commenced to drop, slowly at first; then faster. Hamilton set the motor working just long enough to reverse the propeller and make sure of an easy landing. With yells exploding all around him, he dropped his biplane to the sands in a long sweep, as a gull dives. The bicycle, wheels thumped the ground, the airplane bounced a foot perhaps and then ran along without a far for less than fifty feet. The crowd engulfed the little man and gave him no chance to climb out of the machine and stretch his crimped limb. He was a sight. If ever in the world there was a soiled aviation, he was that bird. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. TAFT GIVES SNUB TO CONGRESSMAN ANGERED BY HUMILIATION New Yorker Declares He Made Appointment For President to Receive Delegation and Had No Warning That He Would Not Be Received Representative Francis Burton Harrison (D) of New York said at a capitol that he had received a round at the White House from President Taft In congress with Representative Gooding, Young and Kellner of Maryland, Mr Harrison served out of the office of Hewes to the White House to talk with the president at his using his office in provincing massacres of Hebrows in Russia. After the party had waited some time it said Mr. Harrison the president so easily privately informed Mr. Harrison that the president declined to see him. So quickly was this done that the rest of the party had got into Mr. Norton's room before Mr. Harrison was missed Mr Harrison was to have been the spokesman of the party and Mr Kellher appeared much surprised when called upon by Mr Norton to present those who had called with him. No explanation of the incident was given out at the White House. Mr Norton said that a statement on the subject probably would be made later. He refused further to discuss the affair. There was a general disposition to connect the affair with Mr Harrison a resolution introduced in the house several weeks ago and later withdrawn calling upon the attorney general for information in regard to his summary of the Glavis charges against Secretary Ballinger. The resolution asked for the correspondence of Oscar Lawler assistant attorney general for the interior department who it developed in the Ballinger Pinchot, investigation made a draft or memorandum of the letter exonerating Secretary Ballinger and dismissing L. R Glavis from the government service. Representative Harrison was very indignant inasmuch he said as he had made the appointment with President Taft ten days ago and had received no warning that he was to be publicly humiliated. He declined to comment upon the incident further than to give a short statement of what occurred. "When I reached the White House with the delegation, said Mr Harrison, I informed Mr Norton that we desired to see the president. The secretary went to the president a private office and returned with the information that the president could not see me. "I then told Mr Norton that I had made an appointment ten days ago for the delegation accompanying me to ask the president, and Mr Norton again conferred with the president. "When he returned he informed me that the president would see the delegation accompanying me but would not see me. I admit I was surprised almost beyond expression." "I immediately left the White House." Hospital Orderly Heir to $500,000.

Sugar Men Convicted. Charles R. Hoike, the secretary and treasurer of the American Sugar Refining company, and Ernest Gerbracht, formerly the superintendent of the Havemoyer & Elder sugar refinery in Williamsburg, were found guilty in New York of completely in the sugar weighing frauds on the refinery docks in Williamsburg by a jury in the criminal branch of the United States circuit court. The third defendant, James F. Bendernagel, who was formerly cashier of the Havemeyer & Elder refinery, was the subject of a long-fought disagreement among the twelve jurors during the nearly twelve hours in which they deliberated. Clark William Larry called the roll of jurors and then said: "Gentlemen, have you reached a Verdict?" "We have" replied Evela D. Terry, the forman. "We find the defendant found guilty on the other course of the indictment. We find the warshash bracht guilty as charged in the indictment. As to the defendant, Bondernagel, we cannot agree." Princeton Gets Proctor's $500,000. As a result of a special meeting of the board of trustees of Princeton university the institution will acquire about $150,000 in gifts. The bulk of this comes as a renewal of the offer made by William Cooper Proctor of Cinnamint and brings to an end the controversy over the site of the graduate college. Mr. Proctor in May 1900 offered the university $500,000 on condition that the gilbert raised an equal amount. SIR JOHN HENRY all to go to the graduate college During the interview over the site Mr. Proctor's gist was withdrawn. With the renewal of the gift the half milion to be given by the alumni is to be augment in plodgos from prominent alumni. Mrs Russell Sage it was announced has given $150,000 to add to the dormitories already donated by her and to build a great memorial tower 160 feet high in the northwest part of the campus. Wealthy Planter Burned at Stake. The police of Lake Charles La are making every effort to find the men who tied James Perkins a planter to a tree and burned him alive. Perkins was found in a pine thicket near his home a few miles from her by a party of searchers. He was unconscious and apparently dead from burns that had seared his whole body. He was taken home but refused to tell the names of the men who had burned him declaring he would live to avenge his own treatment. He became unconscious again but just before he died he resolved and attempted to tell the names of his persecutors. Some time ago Perkins had trouble with squatters. Parish officers expect to make arrests among them Perkins was well known in western Louisiana and eastern Texas. He had big land holdings and was wealthy May Whip Daughter The rod as a corrective agent has been held legal by a Greene county jury at Weynesburg Pa even though the recipient of such punishment be nineteen and a social belle.

PUTS "GIFT" TAKING UP TO CONGRESSMEN Says Judiciary Committee Is Employed by Railroads. Bemnational charges were made in congress against Representative Richard Waine Parker, of New Jersey chairman and other members of the house committee on the judiciary. The sensation was sprung by Representative Choice B. Randell, Democrat, of Texas. He charged that Representative Parker and other members of the committee were "receiving gifts, franks employment and compensation of great and pecuniary value" from railroads. Mr Randell charged that this was true to suit an extent as to disqualify these members of the committee from deciding upon the bill to prohibit congressmen and judges from receiving such gifts from railroads or other corporations. Randell brought before the house a prfilled resolution to remove the measure referred to from the committee on judiciary and to have it immediately reported back to the house. The committee assailed by Mr. Ran dell includes some of the most promi- nent members of the house, its mem birs are: Richard Wayne Parker, New Jersey, chairman; Charles G.

From the moment they reached the city the little rough riders were the center of a continuous reception. They rode off the ferryboat that brought them from Jersey City into a veritable mob. It took six mounted policemen to clear the way, and a constantly increasing crowd fell in behind. Smiles as broad as their sombreros lighted up the youngster's faces as they bared their heads in salute. Then they slipped from their ponies and hurried into the hotel.

JURGEN'S SON, ADAMS AND BROAD STREETS Herr Peter SILK AND FLANNEL DIFFERENT METHODS NECESSARY IN THE LAUNDRY. Temperature of Water is the One Thing Necessary to Remember When Cleaning Flannels-Proper Process with Silks. Silks are even more difficult to wash than flannels. In cleaning flannels all that is necessary to remember is that if one starts the laundry work with hot water the rinsing and bluing waters must be of the same temperature, or all three waters may be cold, for the shrinking of the material is caused by changing the garments from one temperature to another. The so-called fine silk flannels should be washed by the same method as is here given for silks. With silks the process differs from that used for flannels that neither hot nor cold water should be used and that the washing rinsing and bluing waters should all be tepid. Make a lather with some good soap, do not rub soap on the silk unless to remove perspiration stains. Rub between the hands, not on a board, rinse, blue, and squeeze out as much water as possible, but do not wring. The advantage of this will be found when doing the froning as fewer wrinkles will have to be removed. Shake the garments into shape and hang where they will get air and dry evenly, but not in the sun, as sun burns silks as well as complexions. When they are almost dry iron with a moderately hot iron just hot enough to remove the wrinkles, and do not let it remain in one place longer than absolutely necessary, as it is the heat that discolor silks. Soft silks wash, china and especially ponges must be ironed when damp all over or when perfectly dry. They, particularly the ponges cannot be sprinkled as after ironing the sprinkling will show in insignity spots and the garment must be again wet all over to remove them. The best results may be obtained by ironing silk when it is damp as so but an iron is not required to remove wrinkles as when the material is perfectly dry. White and pink silks will turn yellow if washed in hot water and a deep yellow if boiled and especially will this be noted in the wash ribbon that are used so much in lingerie white pale blue will fade to a clear white and remain so as long as they are in use. The easiest way to keep lingerie ribbons if order is to wash a number of them at a time in tepid water and wind around a large bottle and leave them thereon until dry. This has the same effect as ironing without the drawback of the heat. Fine laces may also be dried to great advantage by this method. White silk stockings, lingerie, underwear, waist and dresses that have become spoiled by careless washing and are too yellow to be attractive may be dipped in instantaneous dyes with most excellent results and be as pretty as new. Silk that has become yellow will take a fine shade of tan and that which is only a deep cream can be colored a dainty pink or baby blue while any dark shade is still easier to handle. In using instantaneous dyes be careful to try a sample of the material first to be sure that the desired shade has been obtained and in dyeing to have all parts of the articles thoroughly soaked, special attention being given to shirrings, plaits, belts, and all parts where the goods is in folds. When the process of dyeing is completed the coloring matter will be in the materials and the water will be almost clear. The only way to launder white silks and to keep them, white is to do one's self, avoid heat and complete the process as rapidly as possible. Portola Cake Cream one cup of brown or granu lated sugar with half a cup of lard and one teaspoonful of salt. one egg beaten well, one teaspoonful of chinnamon, half a teaspoonful of cloves, half a teaspoonful of nutmeg, one cup of sour milk mixed with one level teaspoonful of baking soda or one cup of sweet milk and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one cup of snoodles raisins and two cups of sifted flour. mix thoroughly and bake in a moderate oven GingerBread—Chocolate. Less familiar to the average cakebaker is a delicious Gorman combination of gingerbread and chocolate. This is old-fashioned gingerbread made in layers with a soft chocolate fudge filling between, and a thick smooth chocolate lcing on top. The combination of chocolate and ginger will be found most happy by those who have yet to become acquainted with it. An Ironing Board Hint. If you do not want your ironing board to fall down when the door behind which it reposes is suddenly opened, try keeping it in place with a noose. Fasten a screw hook to the woodwork at back of door, and to it tie a double cord long enough to slip around ironing board and fasten the other end to the hook. HAWKS DESTROY MANY QUAIL Covsey of Little Bird Will Not Last Long Where Rapacious Fowls Are Around. I have noticed several articles on the quail and quail hunters and they have attracted my attention to the loss of quail due to hawks, says a writer in Indiana Furner. During this season when the ground is covered with snow the hawk's principal diet is squall. While driving along a road near a hedge recently I noticed a hawk in hot pursuit of a quail, but the quail flew into the hedge and escaped. Two days later I passed the Not Welcome on Any Farm. same way and again saw the hawk waiting for its prey I killed it, and upon examination found that it had been feeding on buall Upon another occasion I shot a hawk and investigation showed that it had just eaten four quail. This goes to show that a covey of quails will not last long when there are hawks around. I think there is no species of hawks, except the sparrow hawk, that do not destroy quail, as well as other small birds, especially during the winter season. Some people think the sparrow hawk, as the name implies, lives principally on sparrows, but this is not the case. Its name is taken from the size of the bird, which is the smallest of its species. The sparrow hawk should be rigidly protected, as I have never yet seen it attack birds of any kind, but it does destroy immense numbers of mice, worms and insects. The benefits derived from the hawk family, except the sparrow hawk, does not compare wits the damage they do. Therefore I am in favor of a state bounty on hawks. SEED POTATO TRUE TO TYPE Pearl Variety is Rather Vigorous Heavy Yielder—Type Is Some- what Flattened Oval. (BY C. L. FINCH COLORADO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE) Growers of potatoes should always remember that the round or oval, smooth few-eyed tubers are an artificial and not a natural product. The development and the selection given the potato in the 400 years since it was discovered by white men count very little in inheritance as compared with the unknown thousands of years in which the potato was a wild mound tall plant with long small, many-eyed tubers. For this reason all seed potatoes should be true and very true to the artificial and improved type of the particular variety because only so can we count on overcoming the tendency to run out which is nothing more than the call of the wild inheritance back to wild and comparatively useless shape and to the small yield also of the old wild forms. The Pearl potato is a rather vigorous, heavy wielder. Its type is a somewhat flattened oval with rather prominent eyes and a recessed stem end. The tendency given the variety when originated was to round out about the stem, leaving it recessed A Pearl with a flush stem end is a better eating potato, because more easily pared but such a flush stem end Pearl is of no account for seed, because unless we have the typical form we never have the vigor and the high yield (unless the natural conditions of the year be exceptionally good) Similarly, no one should use Peach blossoms for seed that have any tendency to be long or even oval because Peachblossoms are typically round. Rurals or Chios with a tendency to pointed or nosey seed ends have lost their power to produce typical shapes or large yields. With the possible exception of the stem end of Rurals, a tendency to points on either end of the tubern of any variety should bar their use as seed. Variations from trueness to type show most in large potatoes, less in small tubers. Hence, if small seed is used, much greater care is needed to secure exact trueness to type in order to get high yields and vigor. A Cure for Nerves. The "nervy" girl will find that an hour's sewing in a wonderful nerve soother. She can see in all her little irritations, her fancied injuries and generally become her normal self again when she has finished a long seam. One of the most neurotic and exoticable women, the famous George Band, wrote in praise of the soothing powers of needlework and every girl who tries this simple remedy for nerves will doubless confirm her testimony—House Notes Progress. A discovery results in an art; an art produces a comfort; a comfort made cheaply accessible adds family on family to the population; and a family is a new creation of thinking, reasoning, inventing, and discovering balings. Thus, instead of arriving at the end, we are at the beginning of the series, and ready to start with recruited numbers on the great and beneficent career of useful knowledge. —Edward Everett.

NEW IDEA IN PARIS DESIGNS Hindu, Embroideries and Printed Patterns Used in Costumes and Millinery. Paris dressmakers are recommending Hindu embroideries and printed designs. Those eastern patterns are employed in numerous ways. The other week, says the Paris correspondent of the Gentlewoman, "I described a cloak wherein the turned back collar and revers were fashioned in Hindu embroidery on white ground. With foulard and taffeta dresses this Indian trimming appears either as an inner vest at the neck or is sown in narrow knitted fouches on the skirts. "The printed specimens were recently launched by a well-known contouriere whose models are chiefly worn by English women and Americans. The designs in this case are smaller and blurred while the ground of the material is invariably of a neutral tint. "Certain milliners select a larger pattern among these printed specimens for the crowns or brims of their hats and toques. The coloring of the different motifs and the ground can here be as glaring as possible owing to the fact that the material is draped and volved with black gauso or tullo. Some of the most becoming turbans and toques are made in this way and impart a cachet to the simplest tailor costume." SOMETHING NEW IN "SHOWER" Basket Party for Bride a Novel and Thoroughly Enjoyable Function. Mary Bride-to-Be had been showered until she began to feel milded. She had been showered with aprons, stockings and handkerchiefs; she had been showered with kitchenware, hats and table linens; she had been honored at SEVEN so many fetus and feastings that she was assured by her father that if she didn't marry soon she would bankrupt the community So when Comrade Kate announced a new shower, she positively refused, but finally consented to a hardiness basket party. On the day of the picnic she was delayed by any number of things, and when she reached the open place in the woods where the tablecloth was to be spread she was astonished at the upper collection of baskets huddled under a tree. When Kate appeared on the scene struggling under the weight of a tall brown waste basket Mary's suspicious were aroused, but Kate declared she had a perfect right to being a pitcher of lemonade in a waste basket if she wanted to, besides the handle of the pitcher was broken off and beaded again this was a basket party and food had to be conveyed in baskets' Ruth brought a shallow garden basket full of flowers for the centerpiece of the spread Jane brought a silver basket of creamy yellow lilies with felt which hold the knots and dorks burrowed for the afar. There was an old fashioned spilt basket full of deviled eggs, exactly like the basket which always had blood on grandmothers back shawl for hunting eggs. There was a large fruit basket of dill green, wilted filled with fruits. A large pumpkin round basket held bottles of olives and pickles, but of course it was born a plain stocking basket. A shallow basket of redish brown was full of sandwiches. A ruffled work basket with hinged cover and with little Italian figures intertwined exactly fitted a big chocolate cake. A large homemade wood basket held the tablecloth and dolls and other accessories. When the basket were all emptied and the lunchcomb had begun somebody a big brother appeared on the scene sugaring a huge wilted olives hamper, which hold a large freter of ice cream. Of course, Mary Bingle to be protested but as that assuaded for there were always so often shows at places well and not just at these graceful ones. And so she did. TO HANG ON NURSERY WALL Decoration That the Little Folks Will Like Because They Can Make It Themselves Any suggestion that tends to brighten on the walls of the nursery is always welcome and in our sketch may be seen a novel and pleasing little decoration for hanging above the nursery door that the little fools can quite well make for themselves. A horse show is popularly supposed to bring good luck and the shoe shown in our illustration can be made in two ways. It can be cut out of cardboard and bound at the edge with narrow strips of colored paper, and the letters sketched on it in pencil and the paint can be applied to regulation and then covered or they can be cut out in colored paper and pasted on to the shoe. A lot of rhinom with a low at the top attached to the back by which the shoe has been spun from a nail in the wall. Another way in which this deor- tion may be carried out is the one that will entail a little more trouble in to GOOD LUCK cut the shoe out in stiff cardboard, and then cover it with some with some pretty plece of material on which the words "good luck" have been worked in alk and then to finish it off, edge it all round with a fine silk cord. To Clean Silver Faucet A successful experiment was tried by the owner of a blonde made of the material used in the Armenian scarf. Pure silver is hammered on to net, you know in such a fashion as never to become loosened and the material is sold by the weight of the silver. The blonde became soiled with wear and the silver tarnished, but the value of the garment did not warrant its discharge from duty. Into a bath of warm soapside and borax it went and an hour soaking with frequent squeezing and a thorough rinsing restored the material to its original beauty without ironing.

They had a bad case of tweets today did the young folks of the graduating class of the East Orange High School chiefly in the matter of race war. They want it understood that the alleged race war is not and won't be it is a race bicker. For her part Isabel, Vandervell the colored girl who has had trouble getting a ticket to the class dance says she's going to the party and what more one doesn't think she's going with an escort of somebody class race, does one? Not much Isabel Vandervall is 17 years old and speaks with force and precision. She has been an honor student at the high school and the young person who have been in class with her these four years say they think well of her. She has a sister from who is a bit older. Iron belonged to the class which graduated a year ago but she had to drop bake into 1810. The students declare that the teacher hasn't just why is a matter decided under the ancient laws and customs of the East Orange High School. John Hermann is the chairman of the dance committee. He is the son of Edward Herman and lives at 569 Park Avenue. He says that the whole decision in so far as the specific instance of Iran is concerned, lies with him but that the abstract principle & under which he acts is one of the antiques consorties of the school and that the dance committee and the whole class believe just as R. does. This fuss that has been kaked up over label Vandynerall said he is all tummy tired. The only reason why she didn't get her ticket to the dance at the same time that the others did is because she didn't show up at the class meeting on Monday. If she'd only been there she wouldn't have had any trouble I didn't see her on Tuesday but on Wednesday I went to her father's place of business and left the ticket for her there. Isabel's father is James N. Vandervall, a prosperous colored man of this place, and he wears white side whiskers. He used to be proprietor of the Lakes Steam Carpet Cleaning Works but later he retired. He lives at 71 Ashland Avenue and has a telephone in his house. It was to the office of the carpet cleaning company that young Hermann took the ticket on Wednesday morning. That same night Vandervall came around to 569 Park Avenue and took young Hermann why he felt given tickets to his two daughters. Hermann said that he had left a ticket for Isabel at the carpet cleaning works that morning and wouldn't he please go there after it. As for Irene she was another matter and couldn't have a ticket anyhow. That was certain. Vanderwalt went to his old office forthwith and got the ticket. Then he went home and tried to explain just why it was that label got one and Irene didn't. It was a hard matter, and the daughters didn't understand. They thought it was in contravention of the spirit of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and made remarks to that effect. John Hermann says no. This is his explanation. Irene was a member of the class which graduated a year ago. She got all the senior prizes then She had a ticket to the dance, to class day and to graduation. But she did not. She flunked back into our class. The committee that anybody who isn't a real member of our class can't use senior privileges now, and the class believes so too. That's the way it's always done. The committee did not have any discussion over Irene. They haven't met for a week. I decided the matter and the committee and she class is behind me. Young Herman says it would be just the name with a white person. He says it is not a matter of concern to the class whether Isabel Vandervall goes to the dance or not. She is a member of the class and has a right to go if she wants to. And under the rules she can invite any young man she wants to, be he black or white. "Take it from me," said he "the dance will go on. All the class will be there, eighty couples of ten." Isabel Vandervall said she expected to go to the dance and would not. She believed a ticket would be got from somewhere (from Thin She didn't know, to sure, where it would come from, but she thought her father would manage to get it. She supposed he would go to see it Mr. Herman again, and he refused, why it would be too bad. She wasn't sure what he would do after that, but he would do something. "Irene is a member of our class." said she. "It isn't true what they say. She didn't get a ticket to the graduation dance of 1909 and she wasn't invited to class day either. She didn't have any senior privileges last year, and it's not right that she shouldn't have any now." It might be, she said, that she herself mightn't go to the dance if Irene couldn't, but it was so far from now she couldn't tell. But as to her escort, she had her mind quite made up. "I'm sure of one thing," she said, "and that is that I won't go with anybody of their race. Not I." Generally Believed, That Reno Will be Chosen by Promoters. San Francisco, Cal., June 18—"On to Reno" in the cry of the night bril HOME FURNISHING CO., grade Convicted by the postponement of the Kaufman and Langford match that San Francisco definitely has been eliminated as a possible scene of the Jeffries and Johnson fight positive announcement is expected tomorrow that the battle of the century 'will be fought in Nevada. Tomorrow night at Reno Tex Rick and will receive bids for the big contest from committees representing Reno Goldo and Ely. The city of offering the most substantial light treatment he said will get the match and the winner will be immediately announced. It is generally said how over that Reno will be the choice. The laws of Nevada do not prohibit finish lights and no serious obstacle to the staging of the great battle in that State is anticipated. I think we are getting this championship into a safe spot at Reno. Rescued to the news station no day and to smile grinch, he has offended and abused an awaiting teammate. Our Prep team has been committed and on Monday morning the gods of fighters and trainers from Ben Lomond and San Francisco are expected to begin. Tentative arrangements for training quarters at Reno already have been made for both defenders and jockeys. The day, in honour today of Louis Blot promoter of the Langford Kaufman contest as a result of Governor Gilbert's order to prevent that fight ended a stressful situation. A big crowd surrounded Blot's arena this afternoon cartoons to witness the test of strength between Blot and the authorities. Mounted police threaded their way among the spectators, and a detail of patrolmen managed to keep the sidwalk clear Blot stood at the entrance of his arena and greeted Adjutant General Laudek and Chief of Police Martin when they motored up to ascertain what was happening. The Kaufman nor Langford appointed house and finally the crowd moved away. Blot persisted in his assertion that the contest had been merely postponed and that Saturday in order to stage a minor boating event against the holding of which he hopes the victory will be taken up. Vice Mayor L. A. Benson issued a armed statement of his intention protest against the threat of Gov- ernor Gallant to send troops into Mexico and to bring him to confront the city officers re- quired to take action. Langford and Ketchel Agree to Finish Hout. San Francisco Cal June 21 Sam Langford and Stanley Ketchel will meet in a forty five round or a finish fight in Reno on the morning of July 4th at 10 30 for the middleweight championship of the world. The announcement was made yes terday by the managers of the fighters, Joe Woodman and Wilson Mizner Jim Coffrith who has been after the match for the past few weeks will likely handle it. Both fighters will leave at one for Reno they will establish training quarters which has been made as to what weight the men will meet at but Ketchel has already said that he will fight at catch weights and they will likely meet under those conditions as the time for battle is only two weeks off. Langford is already in good shape, and he will only have to taper off for the match. His training for the Kauffman match, which was called off Saturday has primed him for a tough fight and it is expected that there will be almost as much interest centered on this card as there will be on the heavyweight battle. Ketchel and his manager, Wilson Mizner will leave tonight for the scene of battle to start work immediately. 'I am in fair shape now,' said the champion this morning. 'and the two weeks I have to be healthy, my condition I want to get just right. I beat this fellow Langdophia fight and had him gasping for breath all during the last two rounds. We and agreed to fight to a finish, but I don't think it will go over ten rounds. I now he is in good condition right now, and I am glad of that. He will be off the middleweight map after the Fourth jurt as sure as that day is coming. Los Angeles Route Barred. San Francisco, June 18 —Local fight followers are inking a little comfort in the fact that Gov. Gillett took no steps to prevent the Barry-Ferguson fight, which was pulled off in Los Angeles last night. The governor declares, however, that he was mired as in the date of the contest. When told of the Barry-Ferguson fight, Gov. Gillett said: "I did not know there was to be a fight in Los Angeles. I understood that they were going to sign for one down there some time next week." For that reason the governor said he had not notified the Los Angeles authorities to prevent any contest there tonight. "Of course, they are breaking the law here as well," he continued, "and THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. it is up to the district attorney now to prescribe the lawbreakers.' Frisonism was a newspaper decision to allow a slow affair limited to ten rounds. South Richmond Notes.
