ANET, RICHMOND BOARD THE KA THE RICHMOND PLANET HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY JUL 5 1910 CAMBRIDGE, MASS. Mechanics' Savings Bank Opens Its Doors. Crowds Throng the New Building—Leading White Citizens There. All Enthusiastic. The Loving Cup. The opening of the new Mechanics' Savings Bank building last Monday morning to the public was a grand success. The inspection has continued all of this week, President John Mitchell, Jr., the president and founder was subjected to a pleasant surprise last Monday morning when a delegation repaired to the reception department over the vault and sent for him. Rev. W. F. Graham had been designated as spokesman and right well did he perform his part. He offered prayer, after which he introduced Rev. R. H. Bowling, D. D., of Norfolk, Va., who delivered a scholarly presentation address and at the same time handed over to Mr. Mitchell a magnificent gold-lined loving cup, handsomely engraved. MOUNTED ON MARBLE. It was mounted on a marble pedestal. The cup is about ten inches in height and about eight inches in diameter. President Mitchell was well-nigh overcome with emotion and he made a most feeling response, expressing his satisfaction and gratification at receiving so valuable a present, showing as it did the attitude of so many people towards him. Rev. Dr. A. S. Thomas dismissed the assemblage after which Mr. Mitchell was congratulated by the many visitors, who had gathered to inspect the building. WHITE CITIZENS JUBILANT A singular fact in connection with this opening is the attitude of the white citizens, who do not hesitate to express their approval and to wish the management well. They are outspoken in their commendation of Mr. Mitchell and his associates and lavish in their praise. The decoration of the building is under the management of an executive and a local committee, Miss M. L. Chiles chairman, and Mrs. Thomas H. Wyatt, secretary. A GRAND SIGHT As one enters the door at either the Clay Street or the Third Street entrance, he is attracted by the handsome electrolayers that illuminate the neighborhood half way of the block. These are on the marble columns, twenty inches in diameter. Inside one enters the vestibule finished in mahogany, marble and plate glass. To the left is the ladies room and on the right is the lobby space. One gets a view then of the magnificent round door vault, highly polish- ```markdown ``` BANK OF NEW YORK THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES The Round Door Vault Open.

On every side the banking room was decorated with palms and cut flowers. The ceiling fairly beamed and glistened with its magnificent radiance. One would think that Fifth Avenue, New York had been removed to Richmond. Gallant white gentlemen and beautiful white ladies flitted to and fro gazing upon and admiring the magnificence of this creation of the leading colored men of this city. Automobiles with their chaffeeurs pushed on that corner. Almost the entire city government was in evidence. Mayor D. C. Richardson and members of the Board of Aldermen and Common Council came to see this remarkable production. They went from the basement to the roof and enjoyed themselves.

Swann was scheduled to marry Miss Lillian Moore, a well-known and popular teacher in the public schools of this city last Wednes day night at 8 o'clock at the bride's residence. He had purchased a house and furnished it and every thing seemed to be all right. The prospective bride had purchased her wedding trousesean and all was in readiness for the event. Mr. Swann disappeared Tuesday afternoon and did not appear on Wednesday. His watch and keys were found at his eating establishment near the corner of 10th and Main Streets, but he has not been seen since. It was thought that he had been fouled dealt with, but no tidings of him has been received. The marriage has been necessarily postponed and the intended bride prostrated by the affair is awaiting some tidings or the missing man. She had resigned her position in the city schools and the entire affair is shrouded In mystery. Mr. Edward J. Cook received a letter from the management at the Buckroe Beach Bay Shore Hotel stating that Swann was there and left a letter in his room stating that the other letter must be delivered to him. In this letter to Mr. Cook, he is said to have stated that he intended to drown himself. The presumption is that he has done this, although his body has not yet washed ashore. He is said to have acted peculiarly a few days before his disappearance. Lawyer James Alexander Chiles of Lexington. Ky. is in the city.

At ten minutes before two the following day, Monday, I arrived at my office. I had spent the morning putting my affairs in shape, and in a trip to the stable. The afternoon would see me either a free man or a prisoner for an indefinite length of time, and, in spite of Johnson's promises to produce Sullivan, I was more prepared for the latter than the former. Blobs was watching for me outside the door, and it was clear that he was in a state of excitement bordering on delirium. He did nothing, however, save to tip me a wink that meant "As man to man, I'm for you." I was too much engrossed either to reprove him or to return the courtesy, but I heard him follow me down the hall to the small room where we kept outgrown law books, typewriter supplies and, incidentally, our wrap. I was wondering vaguely if I would ever hang my hat on its nail again, when the door closed behind me. It shit firmly, without any particular amount of sound, and I was felt in the dark. I groped my way to it, and I stepped on the stilede. I shook it frantically, and was rewarded by a brilliant whisper through the keyhole. "Keep quiet," blobs was saying hunkily, "You're in deadly peril. The police are waiting in your office, three of 'em. I'm gone' to lock the whole bunch in and throw the key out of the window." Of a steaming September day, musky with the smell of old leather bindings, littered with broken overabses and handleslid umbrellas. I was appolice with rage one minute, and choked with laughter the next. It seemed an hour before Blobs came back. He came without haste, strutting with new dignity, and passed outside my prison door. "I got it," he remarked comfortably, and proceeded to turn the key. "I've got em fastened up like sardines in a can" he explained, working with the lock. "Get whit you ought to hear em!" When he put his breath after the shaking I gave him he began to sputter. Howd I know he demanded sulkiness. You nearly broke your neck getin' away the other time. And I haven't got the old key. It's lost. Where it lost! I demanded, with another gesture toward his coat collar. Down the elevator shaft. There was a gleam of indignation satisfaction through his tears of rage and humiliation. And so while he held the key in the door at the top of the shaft I quoted it as prince with the assurance that the look he had slipped and that they would be happy as he was as we could tell he was with a pass key. Stars went on thinly and the light was so bright that he looked how hard he had tried to see it and failed. When Stars appeared he was almost the height he would not appear on that sky. He shattered with the feeling of the shock. He kissed and we went in together. I sat with them and we went in with him with black shoes and a very very old dog. The latter an old dog that an old I had an old very old dog. A Petting session! I implored the dog to lay my hand over Yes. All you can do is has a special skill in quality when the rider was not attached being in doubt. He will be in the skiffman. The skiffman shorter and rounded kept an ample distance. We hope you will be able to waltage extra distance. It will save time. I'll come to the court I agreed. The court the court but I want you to give me a chance here gentlemen. I think you are interested you. Have you? The court the court the court two in his back. "How about the catch of that door?" he ing迅 potentially. Any danger of it going off again. Really considering the circumstances they were remarkable cheerful thanks, how ever was not. He paced the floor uneasily, his hands under his coat tails. The arrival of Mickey created a diversion he carried a long package and a corkscrew, and shook hands with the police and opened the bottle with a single gesture. "I always want something to cheer on these occasions," he said "Where's the water, Blakeley? Everybody ready?" Then in French he toasted the two detectives "To your eternal discomfiture" he said boxing ceremoniously "May you go home and never come back! If you take Monsieur Blakeley with you, I hope you choke" The lean man nodded gravely "Prostil," he said But the fat one leanced back and laughed consumedly Hotchkiss finished a mental synopsis of his position, and put down his gait. The woman, he said pompously, "within five minutes the man will want be here, a murderer caught in a net of evidence so fine that a mosquito cannot get through." The detectives glanced at each other solemnly. Had they not in their possession a sealkin bag containing a wallet and a bit of gold chain, by putting the crime on me, would leave a gap big enough for Billivan himself to crawl through? "Why don't you say your little speech before Johnson brings the other man, Lawrence?" MoKnight inquired. "They won't believe you, but it will help them to understand what is coming." "You understand, of course," the lean man put in gravely, "that what you say may be used against you." "I take the risk," I answered impatiently. It took some time to tell the story of my worse than useless trip to Pittsburgh, and its sequel. They listened gravely, without interruption. Mr. Hotchkiss here," insisted, "but that man Sullivan, whom we are momentarily expecting, committed the crime. Mr. MoKnight is inclined to implicate Mrs. Conway, who stabbed Bronson and then herself last night. As for myself, I am open to conviction." "I hope not," said the stout detective quizzically. And then Alison was announced. My impulse to go out and meet her was forestalled by the detectives, who rose when I did. McKnight, therefore, brought her in, and met her at the door. "I am a great deal of trouble," I said contritely, when I saw her glances around the room. "I wish I had not—" "It is only right that I should come," she replied, looking up at me. "I am the unconscious cause of most of it. I am afraid. Mrs. Dallas is going to wait in the outer office." I presented Hotchkiss and the two detectives, who eyed her with interest. In his poke, her beauty, is seen THE RICHMOND Her gown I fancy she represented a new type to them. They remained standing until she sat down. "I have brought the necklace," she began, holding out a white-wrapped box, "as you asked me to." I passed it, unopened, to the detectives. "The necklace from which was broken the fragment you found in the pealakin bag." I explained. "Miss West found it on the floor of the car, near lower ten." "When did you find it?" asked the lean detective, bending forward. "In the morning, not long before the wreck." she was the set set her. You, not her sulk, old Harry house, I three that, to. "My after the for lo and young of a step and "Did you ever see it before?" "I am not certain," she replied. "I have seen one very much like it." Her tone was troubled. She glanced at me as if for help, but I was powerless. "Where?" The detective was watching her closely. At that moment there came an interruption. The door opened without ceremony, and Johnson ushered in a tall, blonde man, a stranger to all of us. I glanced at Allison; she was pale but composed and scornful. She met the newcomer's eyes full, and, caught unawares, he took a hasty backward step. "Sit down Mr. Sullivan." McKnight beamed cordially "Have a cigar?" I beg your pardon, Alison do you mind this smoke? "Not at all" she said composedly Sullivan had had a second to sound his barkings. "No—no thanks," he mumbled. "If you will be good enough to explain—" "But that's what you are to do. Me Knight said clearly pulling up a chair. You got the most attentive audience you could ask. These two gentlemen are detectives from Pitsburg and we are all curious to know the four details of what happened on the car outside two weeks ago the night your father in law was murdered." Sullivan pitched the arms of his chair. We are not prified, either. The gentlemen from Pitsburg are batting on Mr Blakeley, over there. Mr Hutchles, the gentleman by the radiator, is ready to place ten to one ode on you. And some of us have still other theories, said slowly. I give you my word of hope that I did not kill Simon Hartington and that I do not know who did." Fiddleddee* added Hitchcocks, bustling forward. Why, I can tell you—" But McKnight pushed him firmly into a chair and held him there. I am ready to plead guilty to the larceny. Sillian went on "I took Mr Blakeley's clothes. I admit. If I can reimburse blm in any way for the inconvenience..." The stout detective was listening with his mouth open. Do you mean to say he demanded that you got into Mr Blakeley's birth as he contended with his clothes and forged notes and left the train before the wreck? "Yes." "The notes, then." I gave him to Illinois yesterday. Much good he did blm bitterly. Mr Blakeley for a moment. The two detectives were adjusting themselves with difficulty to a new point of view. Sillian was looking defected at the door his hands hanging loose below in his knee. I was watching Alton from where I stood, behind her, I could almost touch the soft hair behind her ear. "I have no intention of pressing any charge against you." I said with forced clethility, for my hands were itching to get at him. "If you will give us a clear account of what happened on the Ontario that night." Sullivan raised his handsome, haggard head and looked around at me. "I've soon you before, haven't!" he naked. "Weren't you an uninvited guest at the Laurels a few days—or nights—go? The cat, you remember, and the rug that allipped." "I remember," he said shortly. He glanced from me to Allison and quickly away. "The truth can't hurt me," he said, "but it's devilish unpleasant. Allison, you know all this. You would better go out." "I use of her name or naked me." I stepped in front of her and stood over him. "You will not bring Miss West into the conversation." I threatened, "and she will stay if she wishes." "Oh, very well," he said with assumed indifference. Hotchkiss just then escaped from Richey's grasp and crossed the room "Did you ever wear glasses?" he asked eagerly "Never" Sullivan glanced with some contempt at mine "Id better begin by going back a little" he went on sullenly "I sup Johnson Ushered In a Tall Blonde Man, a Stranger to All Of Us. pose you know I was married to Ida Harrington about five years ago. She was a good girl, and I thought a lot of her. But her father opposed the marriage—he'd never liked me, and he refused to make any sort of settlement. "I had thought, of course, that there would be money, and it was a bad day when I found out I'd made a mistake. My sister was wild with disappointment. We were pretty hard up, my sister and I." I was watching Alison. Her hands were tightly clasped in her lap, and The nouns then she was taken out of the window at the character below. She had set her little loot, but that was all. "You understand, of course, that I'm not defending myself," went on the sullied yellow. "The day came when old Harrington put its both out of the house at the point of a revolver, and I threatened—I suppose you know that, too—threatened to kill him." "My sister and I had hard times after that. We lived on the continent for a while. I was at Monte Carlo and she was in Italy. She met a young lady there, the granddaughter of a steel manufacturer and an heiress, and she sent for me. When I got home the girl was gone. Last winter, for an Englishman, a wholesale grocer with a new title, but we had a row, and I came home. I went out to the Heaton boys' ranch in Wyoming, and met Bronson there. He lont me money, and I've been doing his dirty work ever since." Sullivan got up then and walked slowly forward and back as he talked, his eyes on the faded pattern of the office rug. "If you want to live in hell, he said swaggy, "put yourself in another man's power. Bronson got into trouble, ignoring John Jillinore's name to the police, and came home learned that a man was bringing the papers back to Washington on the Flor. He even learned the number of his birth, and the night before the wreck, just as I was boarding the train, I got a telegram." Hutchicka stepped forward once more importantly. Which read, I think. "Man with papers in lower ten, car seven. Got them." Sullivan looked at the little man with sulky blue eyes. "It was something like that, anyhow, and I was a fast business, and it made matters worse that he didn't care that a telegram which must pass through a half dozen hands was more or less incriminating to me." "Then, to add to the unpleasantness of my position, just after we boarded the train— I was accompanying my sister and this young lady, Miss West—a woman touched me on the sleeve, and I turned to face—my wife" "That took away my last bit of nerve. I told my sister, and you can understand she was in a bad way, too. Who knew what it meant! I dah had heard that I was going..." He stopped and glanced uneasily at Alison "Go on," she said coldly "It is too late to shield me. The time to have done that was when I was your guest." "Well," he went on, his eyes turned carefully away from my face, which must have presented certainly anything but a pleasant sight "Miss West was going to do me the honor to marry me, and—" "You were! I burst forth, thriving byast Alison West's chair "You were! internal curt!" One of the detectives got up and stood between us "You must remember, Mr Blakeley, that you are forcing this story from this man. These details are unpleasant, but important. You were going to marry this young lady," he said, turning to Sullivan, "although you already had a wife living." "It was my sister's plan, and I was in a bad way for money. If I could marry, secretly, a wealthy girl and go to Europe, it was unlikely that Ila—that is, Mrs Sullivan—would hear of it. "It was more than a shock to see my wife on the train, and to realize from her face that she knew what was going on. I don't know yet, unless some of the servants—well, never mind that "It meant that the whole thing had gone up. Old Harrington had carried a gun for me for years, and the same train wouldn't hold both of us Of course, I thought that he was in the coasah just behind ours." Hotchkiss who leaning forward now, his eyes narrowed, his thin lips drawn to a line. "Are you left handed, Mr. Sullivan?" he asked Sullivan stopped in surprise "No, he said grumly 'Can't do anything with my left hand' Hutch klas subsided, crestfallen but alert. "I tore up that cursed telegram, but I was afraid to throw the scraps away. Then I looked around for lower ten. It was almost exactly across—my berth was lower seven, and it was, of course, a bit of exceptional luck for me that the car was number seven." "Did you tell your sister of the telegram from Bronson?" I asked "No. It would do no good, and she was in a bad way without that to make her worse." "Your sister was killed, I think?" The shorter detective took a small package from his pocket and held it in his hand snapping the rubber band which held it. "Yes, she was killed," Sullivan said soberly. "What I say now can do her no harm." He stopped to push back the heavy hair which dropped over his forehead, and went on more connectedly. "It was late, after midnight, and we went at once to our births. I undressed, and then I lay there for an hour, condoning me. Some one in lower nine was restless and wide awake, but finally became quiet. "The man in ten was sleeping heavily. I could hear his breathing, and it seemed to be only a question of getting across and behind the curtains of his birth without being seen. After that, it was a mere matter of quiet searching. "The car became very still. I was about to try for the other berth, when some one brushed softly past, and I lay down. Finally, however, what things had been quiet for a time, I got up, and after-looking along the aisle, I slipped behind the curtains of lower ten. You understand, Mr. Blakley, that I thought you were in lower ten, with the notes." I nodded curly. "I'm not trying to defend myself." He went on: "I was ready to steal the Hoses—I had do. But murder!" He wiped his greehead with his handkerchief. "I slipped across and behind the curtains. It was very still. The man in ten didn't move, although my heart was thumping until I thought he would hear it. "I felt around cautiously. It was perfectly dark, and I came across a bit of chain, about as long as my finger. It seemed a queer thing to find there, and it was sticky, too." He shuddered, and I could see Alison's hands clenching and unclenching with the strain. "All at once it struck me that the man was strangely silent, and I think I lost my nerve. Anyhow, I drew the curtains open a little, and let the light fall on my hands. They were red, blood-red." He leaned one hand on the back of the chair, and was silent for a moment, as though he lived over again and the events of that more than awful night. "The stout detective had let his oligar go out; he was still drawing at it nervously. Richey had picked up a paper-weight and was tossing it from hand to hand; when it slipped and fell to the floor, a startled shudder fussed through the room. "There was something glittering in there," Suillan resumed, "and on impulse I picked it up. Then I dropped the curtains and stumbled back to my own borth. When you wiped your hands on the bed clothing and stuck the disk in to the pillow." Hutchles was seeing his carefully built structure crumbling to pieces, and he looked chagrined "I suppose I did—I'm not very clear about what happened then. But when I railed a little I saw a Russian leather wallet lying in the slain almost at my feet, "did, like a fool, "I stuck it with the bit of chain, into my bag. "I sat there, shivering, for what seemed hours. It was still perfectly quiet, except for some one annoting I thought that would drive me crazy "The more I thought of it the worse things looked. The telegram was the first thing about me—I would put the police on my neck at once when it ten had been killed "Then I remembered the notes, and I took out the wallet and opened it." He stopped for a minute as if the recalling of the next occurrence was almost beyond him "I took out the wallet" he said simply, "and, opening it held it to the light. In gilt letters was the name, Simon Harrington" The detectives were leaning forward now, their eyes on his face "Things seemed to whirl around for a while I sat there almost paralyzed, wondering what this now development meant for me "My wife, I knew, would swear I had killed her father; nobody would be likely to believe the truth "Do you believe me now?" He looked around at us defiantly "I am telling the absolute truth, and not one of you believes me" "After a bit the man in lower nib got up and walked along the aisle toward the smoking compartment I heard him go, and, leaning from my berth, watched him out of sight "It was then I got the idea of changing berths with him, getting his clothes, and leaving the train I give you my word I had no idea of throwing suspicion on him" Alison looked scornfully incredulous, but I felt that the man was telling the truth "I changed the numbers of the berths, and it worked well. I got into the other man's berth, and he came back to mine. The rest was easy. I dressed in his clothes—luckily, they fitted—and jumped the train not far from Baltimore, just before the wreck." "There is something else you must clear up." I said. "Why did you try to telephone me from M——, and why did you change your mind about the message." He looked astounded "You know I was at M—" he stammered "Yes we traced you. What about the message?" "Well, it was this way, of course. I did not know your name, Mr Blakeley. The telegram said 'Man with papers in lower ten car seven,' and after I had made what I considered the man in my birth in a bad way "He would probably be accused of the crime So, although when the wreck occurred I supposed everyone connected with the affair had beeh killed, there was a chance that you had survived. I've not been of much account, but I didn't want a man to swing because I left him in my place. Besides, I began to have a theory of my own "I've entered the car a tall, dark woman passed us, with a glass of water in her hand, and I vaguely remembered her. She was amazingly like Blanche Conway. "If he, too, thought the man with the notes, was in lower ten, it explained a lot, including that piece of a woman's necklace. She was a fury, Blanche Conway, capable of anything." "Then why did you counteract that message?" I asked courteously. "When I got to the Caterpillar house, and got to bed—had'prained my ankle in the jump—I went through the alligator bag I had taken from lower nine. When I found your name, I sent the first message. Then, soon after, I came across the notes. It seemed too good to be true, and I was crazy for fear the message had gone. "At first I was going to send them to Bronson; then I began to see what the possession of the notes meant to me. It meant power over Bronson, everything. He was a devil, that man." "Well, he's at hope now," said McKullet, and we were glad to laugh and relieves the tension. Alice put her hand over her eyes, as if to shut out the light of the man she had so nearly married, and I felt touched touched one of the soft little curls that nestled at the back of her neck. "When I was able to walk" went on. the sullen votes. "I. camp at once to Washington. I tried to sell the notes to Bronson, but he was almost at the end of his rope. Not even my threat to send them back to you. Mr. Blakeley, could make him meet my figure. He didn't have the money." McKnight was triumphant. "I will send them all as reason in my theory to the said." Mrs. Conway wanted the notes to force a legal marriage, I supposer" "Yes." The detective with the small package carefully rolled off the rubber band, and unwrapped it. I held my breath as he took out, first, the Rusia leather wallet. "These things, Mr. Blakeley, we found in the sealakin bag Mr. Sullivan says he left you. This wallet, Mr. Sullivan this one, no one found on the floor." Bullman opened it, and, glancing at the name inside, "Simon Harrington," nodded affirmatively. "And this," want on the detective—"this is a piece of gold chain" "This, I believe, is the dagger." He held it up, and Alison gave a faint cry of astonishment and dismay. Sullivan's face grew ghastly, and he sat down weakly on the nearest chair. The detective looked at him shrowdy, ly, then at Alison's agitated face. "Where have you seen this dagger booby, young lady?" he asked, kindly enough. "Oh don't ask me!" he gasped, breathless, her eyes turned on Sullivan. "It's--it's too terrible!" "Tell him." I advised, leaning over to her "It will be found out later, anyhow." "Ask him," she said, nodding toward Sullivan. The detective unwrapped the small box Alison had brought, disclosing the trampled necklace and broken chain. With clumsy fingers he spread it on the tahoe and fitted into place the bit of chain. There could be no doubt that it belonged there. Where did you find that chain? Sullivan looked closely, looking for the first time at Alison. "On the floor, near the murdered man's berth." "Now, Mr. Sullivan," said the detective, civilly, "I believe you can tell us, to the light of those two exhibits, who really did murder Simon Harrison." Sullivan looked again at the dagger, a sharp little bit of steel with a Florentine handle. Then he picked up the jacket and pressed a hidden spring under one of the cameses. Inside, very neatly engraved, was the name and a title: "Gentlemen," he said, his face ghastly, "it is of no use for me to attempt a dental. The dagger and necklace belonged to my sister Alico Curtis." CHAPTER XXXI. And Only One Arm. Hotchkiss was the first to break the tension "Mr. Sullivan," he asked suddenly, "was your slater left-handed?" "Yes." Hotchkiss put away his notebook and looked around with an air of triumphant vindication. It gave us a chance to smile and look rolled. After all, Mrs. Curts was dead. It was the happiest solution of the unhappy affair. McKnight brought Sullivan some whisky and he braced up a little "I learned through the papers that my wife was in a Baltimore hospital and yesterday I ventured there to see "I Understand Now What Puzzled Me Then." her. I felt if she would help me to keep straight, that now, with her father and my sister both dead, we might be happy together. "I understand now what puzzled me then. It seemed that my sister went into the next car and tried to make my wife promise not to interfere. But Ida-kera, Bullivan—was my father and papa, certificates, certificates and so on that would stop the marriage at once. "She said, also, that her father was in our car, and that there would be the mischief to pay in the morning. It was probably when my sister tried to get the papers that he swaked and she had to do what she did." It was over. Save for a technicality or two, I was a free man. Allison rose quietly prepared to get the papers. Bullivan, who sat crouched in his chair, his face hurried in his hands. McKnight saw her, with Mrs. Dallas, to their carriage and came back again. The gathering in the office was breaking up: Johnson had slipped away as unnoticiably as he came. Sullivan, looking worn and old, was standing by the window, staring at the broken necklace in his hand. When he saw me watching him, he put it back on the desk and picked up his hat. I cannot do anything more "he had to leave." I think you have done about enough." I roplied, grimly, and we went out. I believe that they and Holtchick led me somewhere to dinner, and that, for fear, I would be lonely, without him, they sent for Johnson. And I recall a spirited discussion in which Holtchick told the detective that he could manage certain cases, but that he locked induction. Richer Jane. I were, mainly silent. "Try, thoughts would slip ahead to that hour, later in the evening, when I should see Alison again. I dressed in fringe baste, finally and was so particular about my tie that Mrs. Klopton gave up in despair. "I wish," until your arm is better, that you would buy the kind that hooks on," she protested, almost tearfully. "I'm sure they look very nice, Mr. Lawrence. My late husband always—" That's a lover's knot you've tied this time. I started, and, Jirking open the tie, I saw the woman's eyes, looked out of the window for Johnson—until I recalled that he no longer belonged in my perspective. I ended by driving frantically to the club and setting George to do it. I was late, of course. The drawing room and library at the Dallas country home was very empty. I could hear billard balls rolling somewhere and I turned the other way. I found Allison at last on the balcony, sitting much as she had that night on the beach—her chin in her hands, her eyes fixed unselingly on the trees and lights of the square across. She was even whistling a little, softly. But this time the plainness was gone. It was a tender little tune. She did not move, as I stood beside her, looking down. And now, when the moment had come, all the thousand and one things I had been waiting to say forsook me, precipitately be a retreat and left me unsupported. The arc-moon sent little fugitive lights over her hair, her hair her gown. "Don't—do that!" I said unsteadily. "You—you know what I want to do when you whistle!" She glanced up at me and she did not stop. She did not stop. She went on whistling softly a bit tremorously. And straightway I forgot the street, the chance of passers by my voles in the house behind us. "The world does not hold anyone but you," she said. "I am in our world, sweetheart. I love you." And I kissed her A boy was whitening on the pavement below I let her go reluctantly and sat back where I could see her "I haven't done this the way I intended to at all" I confessed "in books they get things all settled and then kiss the lady" "Settled" the inquired "Oh, about getting married and that sort of thing. I explained with elaborate carelessness. We could go down to Bermuda or or Jamaica, say in December." She drew her hand away and faced me squarely. "I believe you are afraid!" she declared "I refuse to marry you unless you propose, properly. Everybody does. And it is a woman's privilege she wants to have that to look back to." "Very well!" I consented with an exaggerated sigh "If you will promise not to think I look like an idiot, I shall do it knee and all." I had to pass her to close the door behind us, but when I kissed her again she protested that we were not really engaged "I turned to look down at her "It is a girl" "I said, exculptantly "to love a girl the way I love you and to have only one arm" Then I closed the door From across the street there came an sharp crescendo whistle and a vaguely familiar figure separated itself from the park ralling in a horse whisper, "shall I throw in the key down the elevator shaft?" ELECTRICITY IN BIBLE TIMES Some Have Offered an Explanation for Miracles by Supposing Its Use. An electrical engineer of Munich named Stendamann makes an ingenious argument to prove that the Jews in the time of Moses had an advanced knowledge of electricity, using passages from the Bible to enforce his claim. His theory of the famed serpent of bronze is that it was a lightning conductor and he also says that the temple at Jerusalem was protected by metal points connected with the ground. The most ingenious speculation is in regard to the work of the covenant, which was made of walls of wood covered on both sides with metal. If this connection was broken from the temple roof, it would form a sort of laden jar charged by the electricity of the atmosphere, and would give a shock to anyone touching it. Mr. Stademann presumes that Moses gained his knowledge of electricity from the Egyptians. This ancient race certainly had a knowledge of many, branches of science that it took the rest of the world thousands of years to learn. But the only proof that they were electrical engineers is one recently advanced by an archaeologist—that they must have had electric lights because their underground temples show no traces of smoke. Charm In Expression An amiable expression while thinking is like an agreeable inflection of the voice while speaking. An exaggeration in either case brings unnatural and many quite unpleasant results — From an article in the Circle. Lady Bylbil Grey recently accompanied her father, Earl Grey, governor general of the Dominion, on his trip to the Canadian arctic gold. Baldas, Near Dawson, City, the capital of the Montclair, she begged, but a claim for herself, with all the prescribed, legal formalities and christened it the Bylbil. Her first panning out produced $20 worth of gold, which she considered a very promising start. During the long arctic winter Bylbil Grey is working her claim by deputy, but she says she will return next summer to supervise operations and examine results in person. THE CIVIL WAR PRESS SOME APPETIZING RECIPES THE GIRL CAN MASTER. Make Excellent Lessons in Cooking for the Beginner—A Pretty Way of Entertaining One's Friends. There comes a time in every girl's life when she wants to know how to cook, and there is no pleasanter way to begin than by learning to master the chafing dish. Unless a dish can be prepared in a few minutes, preparations for the cooking should be done in the kitchen, for, of course, like playing the plate, chafing-dish accomplishments are for company. The utensil is put on the luncheon or supper table, and the cook sits at her task surrounded by all the little condiments and other fixings needed. When the young amateur has mastered a recipe or two to its final perfection a little chafing dish spice is a very pretty way of entertaining one's friends. Here are some simple recipes for very sophisticated dishes: Mushrooms Sauted - As getting mushrooms ready for cooking. is a All rights reserved. Am. 87n. ETHIOPIA SHALL S meany business, they should positively be prepared away from the tabif, break the umbrellas from the stems and cut on the darkened lower odes of those. Then peel the umbrellas, beginning at the outside edges and pulling off the skin lightly and dolcally. If the mushrooms are wet first the skin will stick, so the peeling must be done when they are dry. Drop them in cold salted water for ten miniritches, then drain. rinse thoroughly. Brain again and place in a saucepan with butter—a large tablespoonful to half a pound of mushrooms. Then cover the dish tightly, start the blaze of the lamp beneath, and cook without uncovering—if possible—for half an hour or more. Not one drop of fluid other than the melting butter is needed, for mushrooms draw considerable water with cooking. While this delicious dish, which goes superbly with chops or buttered toast, is being cooked, some other course, not prepared at the table, may be dispatched. Look for fresh mushrooms. If stale, they are tough and tasteless. Salt after cooking. Calves Brains and Tomato sauce. —This dainty is as near to an approach in tastes to sweetbreads as could be had, and the brains cost about a fourth of the sum of the more fashionable sweetbreads. Get a pair of fresh brains and cook them in cold salt water for two hours. Parbell, and then denude them of all skin and veining, and divide them in portions about the size of large oysters. Have this plate of cold stuff brought to the table, where the tomato sauce would be made. Take for this three large fresh tomatoes, scalded and skinned, chopped and seasoned with cayenne, salt, salt shaving of garlic and an asphalt of butter, or of olive oil, Cook the tomatoes for allure of twenty minutes, shopping them all the time with the COLONEL ROOSEVELT IN CONVERSATION WITH MR. E. MONT REILY ON BOARD THE KAI-SERIN AUGUSTE VICTORIA. During his return voyage to America on the Kalperin Auguste Victoria Mr Rooswell did a great deal of literary work and answered a bushel of letters. He was very approachable and talked with many passengers each day. He was very noncommittal in his answers to political questions of a leading character. In the picture he is shown talking with E. Mont Belly, a business man of Kansas City. cooking spoon, and when the sauce is done, drop in the cold brains, sprinkled with flour, and cook some minutes longer. The meas goo well with a serving of green peppers, stuffed with stale white bread and fried in olive oil. Asparagus Omelet—Have a plate on the table filled with hot bolted asparagus tips—about two inches of the stem may be left on. Then beat up the eggs needed, yolk and white together, and drop them into the chafing dish after it is medium hot and has been buttered. When the omelet is half done—that is, cooked on one side pour in the asparagus tips, cover them with the egg, flap over for a minute's more cooking, slip on a hot plate, and butter the top with melted butter. Only use salt and black pepper with this. MAN OF HIGH IDEALS. "So you don't care to encourage that young poet with his etheral ideas" interrogated the cigar salesman. "I don't care a continental about his etheral ideas," growled the grocery-man, "as long as they don't cost me anything." "Did they ever cost you anything? I should say so! The other day he came in and, raising his right hand, struck a dramatic attitude and said, 'I love everything that's good.' Then with his left hand he helped himself to the candled citron and the 40 cent almonds. I don't doubt that he likes things that are good, but blamed if he's going to make this a supply station."

"Why, my dear," expostulated Mr. Ponsonby, "I wasn't drunk last night. I was merely imitating a drunk man to fool you." "Well," sniffed Mrs. Ponsonby, "all I have to say is, if that was an imitation you are wasting your talents in the grocery business. You'd draw $100 a week in vaudeville." Education.

It would be well for the average colored man to pay very little attention to prejudiced white men. There are so many of them who will recognize methyl and ability in colored men that it is a waste of time to worry over the other kind. A colored person who goes through this section of the country with a chip on his shoulder waiting for some white person to knock it off will not have to gd very far before he is accommodated. A white person who does this same thing relative to colored people, will travel much further but if he lives long enough he will find himself confronting the same conditions that we have prophesied for the colored brother.

BERRY & Co. A. Charlton Confesses Murder. Porter Charlton the husband of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton, whose body was found stuffed in a trunk which was taken from Lake Como Italy recently was arrested as he stepped from the steamship Princess from Hoboken N J Within a half hour he had confessed to the murder of his wife. Charlton at first denied his identity, but after being given the third degree he admitted that he was the husband of Mrs Charlton and made a signed statement to the Hoboken police. The following is the text of Charlton's comment: 'My wife and I lived happily together. She was the best woman in the world to me but she had an ungovernable temper. So had I. We frequently quarreled over the most critical matters and her language to me was frequently so fool that I know she did not know the meaning of it. "The night I struck her she had been quarring with me. She was in the worst ever it she had ever seen her in. I told it she did not cause I would lose her and put a stop to it. She stopped for a little while and startled again. I took a mallet which I had used to do some household repairs and struck her three times I thought she was dead. I put the body in a trunk, in which I also threw the mallet. "About 12 that night I moved the trunk from the house dragged it to a small pier near the house and throw it overboard. I remained at Malprisal the next day and left the following night and went to Como and from there to Genoa, where I took the steamer from three days later. "The room where I killed her was an out-door sleeping apartment." At the suggestion of an attorney, whose service he secured shortly after his arrival at the police station, Charlton added this postscript to his statement. "I have been informed that C. K. Impolatto has been implicated, and I wish to state that this gentleman is absolutely guiltiness. I have no defense to make and don't wish to." Charlton will probably be taken back to Italy for trial. The body of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton was found packed in a trunk which was taken from Lake Como near the village of Molkreslo by fishermen on June 10. The woman, with her husband, Porter Charlton, had occupied a villa on the lake front, leased by them some time before. At the time the woman's body was recovered Porter Charlton could not be found.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. and the blessings of Almighty God will ever delight to dwell with and bless you Rev Dr W H White, master of ceremonies, after making a few timely remarks, stated that the time had about arrived to repair to another department, where arrangements have been made for entertainment of a different nature. Just here Deacon B H. Peyton interrupted and said, by request he desired to deliver to him a program which he desired carried out before leaving for other quarters. Rev Dr Evans Payne, bishop of Church and pastor Fourth Baptist Church was called The Doctor came forward, and said he felt highly honored by the evidences shown him that he holds the Fifth Street Baptist Church and Pastor dearly to his heart, second only to that of his own that the relationship is interoven and bound by cords of love that he has been called to be honored, he was the first to have been called to honored position. That he is proud to say that Pastor Rev Dr W F Graham and he were called to the ministry about the same time thirty three years ago that about the same time thirty car ago, they both were ordained, and such affairs needlessly make each loving anxious about one another welfare. He further stated that no one can succeed in the ministry with full success without a good loving woman for a wife. That Dr Graham's son has in a great measure been due to his wife Josie A Graham that the Fifth Street Baptist Church realizing that fact has remembered but in appreciation for her service Mrs Graham's said the Due to one is remembered only by what he has done. You value and worth to this chin being we are and trade in all times to further the cause of good together with our kind kindly disposition. We want for you affection and esteem in the token on behalf of the mem- bers and friends of Fifth Street Baptist Church I present to you this fine silver service, which we hope you will accept and keep as evidence of such affection and esteem Ms. Jesse A Graham, being nearly overcome by surprise and true womanly dignified modest joy, responded betterly. Master of Ceremonies Officers Members and Friends of Fifth Street Baptist Church I am taken by surprise. I had knowledge of the movement to make my husband present of a $75 00 bill of clothes and when I found it out I was told by some of the ladies to look sewed on that night. I told them that I could not but all of this tale told me to believe that it was no cause of the present expected to be given my Rev Dr W F Graham I cannot express myself in words for this evidence of your affection and esteem being filled with joy and reverence.

After making a few timely remarks, in which he stated that the pastor and he were the best of friends and giving words of encouragement to the church and pastor the Doctor presented to Rev Dr W F Graham a fine suit of clothes the gift of the Fifth Street Baptist Church as a token and approving their esteem for his service. He served for eighteen years service Our Pastor. Rev Dr W F Graham, responded in a few words expressing his appreciation and said that under guidance of the Holy Spirit he'll put forth every effort to bring about greater results in the future than what has been accomplished in the past. Rev Dr W F Graham is worthy of all that has been done for him. He has been a blessing both to the church and the colored people in the city. Coming to Richmond about eightteen years ago, he was chiefly instrumental in revolutionizing thought and crystallizing new sentiments and ideas. Among his first lectures was the one known as "Young Mon to the Front." Prior to Dr. Graham's coming to Richmond it was almost suicidal for a young member of the church at its meetings to express his opinions on any subject. If the same was in opposition to those of superior ago A young man as a deacon was not thought of: Working hard and pushing forward the doctrine calling upon the young man because they are strong. His priest is open to everyone and officers, both young and old; thus combining together wisdom and strength. Following suit, nearly every church in Richmond and vicinity have done likewise. In the outer works he has raised many to higher walks of life. Following are notes worthy facts of our church from the record: (See Next Week.) The Sunday school opened Sunday morning at 10 o'clock by Supt. Prof. B. H. Payton. Anniversary rally was the general topic of conversation among the children after the lesson was over. They had raised $30.90 for it by their little effort and were proud. Dr. R. H. Bowling, Norfolk, Va., addressed the school encouraging the children in their work. The attendance was fair.—B.

A large number was out to hear him. Dr. Davis is of national fame as a great lecturer; as a preacher, he ranks among the boat. Last Shipday morning and night Dr. R. H. Bowling, of Norfolk, Va., president of the National Bapt. State Convention, presched two extra fine sermons at Fifth Street Baptist Church. They embodied fine thought were scientific and filled with spiritual food for enlightenment. Dr. Bowling is one of the finest preachers in this country. At 5:30 o'clock the church assembled for communion. Our pastor, presiding, Dr. H. H. Mitchell broke the bread. The deacons and officers were in their respective places. Several visiting pastors and preachers were present and spoke. The church was delighted to meet its former Pastor Dr. H. H. Mitchell, and he seemed equally so. All were well pleased at this communion and reunion Next Sunday morning and night. Dr R. Spiller will preach. In the morning he will preach a special sermon.

NEGRO PYTANHS OF VIRGINIA MEET HERE Nearly Five Hundred Deligates From All Parts of Virginia, in Conven tion in Bristol—Negro Bank President Presiding The most notable negro gathering in the history of Bristol was conven ed in Bristol Tuesday when the grand lodge Knights of Pythias colored of Virginia assembled at the Lee Street M. E. Church Nearly Five hundred delegates from all parts of Virginia protect and advance an abol- ished preside over by John Mitchell of Rihmond one of the wealth- est and progressive negroes of the country He is president of the Me- chanics Savings Bank of Richmond editor of the Richmond PLANET and enjoys the destination of being the only colored member of the American Banks Association which is the greatest organization or financiers in the world A public meeting held at the Harmlensing opera house Tuesday night, beginning at 9 o'clock at which the principal speakers included Grand Chancellor Mitchell and I President Charles Brown of the largest negro college in St Louis which has been in hundred pupils. The Harmeling opera house was packed at the public session which lasted until nearly 11 o'clock. An interesting program was rendered and the speeches were especially enjoyable. I have found that in recent years that our people are largely responsible for the conditions about which we complain most," said Grand Chancellor Mitchell, in opening his address. "The greatest thing that hinders our progress as a race is extravagance, which is proverbial among negroes. It is not a question of what we make, but of how much we can save out of what we do. THE WHITE MAN AT HOME "The administration at the national capital counts for nothing any longer. The negro who looks to Washington—the negro who looks beyond his own state of Virginia is a fool. We must learn to deal with the white man at home and we are learning it. The negroes of Virginia own $26,000,000 worth of property. In the city of Richmond alone they are worth $2,000,000. The bank of which I am president, which is the largest negro bank in the country, has just completed a magnificent new building, costing $50,000 and there is not a penny of debt against it. Notwithstanding what we have done not over 15 per cent of our people are productive—wealth creators. We must study the methods of the white men and copy after them. We now have the co-operation and sympathy of the best class or the white people. The good wishes of the southern white man is one of our greatest assets. We must learn how to approach the southern white man and if we know how we can get him help from him in the minute from him out of our class in a week Go to the southern white man humbly with a tear in the corner of one eye, even if it is necessary to eat an onion to get it. Have it COPIES AFTER WHITES "Why every state in the union except Virginia, has passed laws prohibiting us from using the name of Knights of Pythias because we have copied after the white man. In the name of God, who else do they expect us to copy after? We must look to the white man. We have no such law in Virginia, but we were afraid to say anything about it until six months afterward for fear of embarrassing our white friends. "What our race needs is leaders—wise, practical leaders to harness our latent power. We see a river here, which if harnessed would drive every wheel of industry in Bristol, but which undisturbed flows on to the sea. So with our race. We need leaders to harness and develop our power. The best white men want to see us become a potent factor and thus help to solve the question of the country's economic development. When a black man can write his check for $10,000 there is something doing in the white community. The white people all have respect for the nogroh who is trying to get ahead had be something. I want to inspire our younger people to look upward and onward for a better day has dawned for us here in the south and the future is bright." FEATURES OF PROGRAM. Prayer was offered by Rev. S. A. Moses, of Harrisonburg, Va., while Prok U. S. G. Patterson, of the Lynchburg school, rendered two beautiful President Brown, of the St. Louis negro college, who was introduced by the presiding officer as one of the highest salaried colored men in the country, made a brief, but comprehensive talk. He urged the negroes to buy homes, saying that a planked house that one owned was more to be deprived than a rented mansion. He urged the parents to look after the training of their children. "Don't send your children to Sunday school," he said emphatically. Pausing a minute he added, "Take them." The parade will occur at 1:30 clock this afternoon and will be a exhibition and an interesting of the mansion. The parade about seventy-five delegates here from Richmond stone, and almost over country, city, town and hamlet in the state is represented.

AIRSHIP LANDS BURDEN IN TREES The airship Deutschland landed in the branches of a clump of trees near Burg Germany in the Teutoburg forest. None of the passengers or crew was injured. The airship was slightly damaged. The Deutschland left Düsseldorf for an excursion intended by Count Zeppelin to demand that it could be navigated under unavoidable weather conditions. A still brighter was blowing when the craft left her moorings. She sailed over the towns of Elbefield and Sonnengen, fifteen miles from Düsseldorf and then apparently was driven by the wind in this direction. This place is seventy miles north of Düsseldorf and the airship reached here flying with the wind. When on the city the pilot attempted to bring his craft about and after some maneuvering headed for Munster This course was held for some time but eventually the Dutchschland was forced back on her track until she was again on the town To observers it appeared that two of the airships motors were disabled and that only one was working properly After jockeying in the air without power or stability to land safely, forts were given up and, apparently beyond the operator's control, the Deutschland settled toward the earth finally landing in a clump of trees $15,000,000 InFake Curez Over $15 000,000 is annually poured into the coffers of those who exploit and advertise "take" consumption cures, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in Boston. The report showed that for this vast sum the victims receive nothing in return, but are often permanently injured and in many cases deprived of the chance for a real cure.

Exposes Attempt of Powerful Lobby to Influence His Action on Oklahoma Indian Land Deal. United States...Senator Gore started the senate by announcing that he had been, in effect, offered a bribe of $600,000 to withdraw his opposition to recognition of the so-called McMurray contracts for the sale of Indian lands in Oklahoma. The senator went further and added to this declaration the statement that a member of the house likewise had been approached. This happened on May 6 last, two days after he had introduced a resolution prohibiting the approval of the contracts. "On May 6, he said, 'a representative of McMurray came to see me. He was a man who resides in my home town, a man who had been a friend in time of need He came to my office and assured me that it would be to my interest If I would call on the senator from Colorado and advise him not to report the resolution There was a suggestion that $25,000 or $50,000 would be available if the contracts were not prohibited. And I am in formed that a similar proposition was made Thursday to a member of the house of representatives. Mr. Gore did not mention the name either of the agent who approached him or that of the member of the house. He also declared that 'an ex senator from Nebraska and an ex senator from Kansas are interested in these contracts' but in this instance also he likewise failed to name the man. Without indicating other personalities, he added that there was a large lobby here pushing the McMurry interests Mr Gore announced that if the recessions of the senate from the amber lent to the general decedency bill was sustained Mr Mc Murry would get $1,000 as his fee for the sale of the Chuckaw and Chickaw Indian land. The amendments in question required proper approval of the contracts. The declaration of Senator Gore was precipitated by the chair's declaring out of or for his motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill was passed. Senator Gahanger met this motion with one to lay the bill on the table which eventually prevailed without a roll call. On a plea of personal privilege Mr Gore then took the floor and unfolded his tale of attempted bribery. The Oklahoma senator's announcement was the subject of decided comment in the corridors of the capitol and an investigation will follow. Blay Farmers Son For Revenge. Delloborately planning revenge, two Philadelphia colored boys, Henry Williams and James Sharp, working on the farm of Willmore Rogers, about three miles from Georgetown. Del shot and killed the farmer's fourteen year-old son, John Rogers, and afterward dragged him through a woods and buried the body in a skeid. The body was discovered after an all-night search, in which the two murders took part. When the evidence of the crime pointed to the two boys the crowd of farmers began to aggrage for a lynching, until Dallas Rogers, a brother of the murdered boy spirted Williams away behind a fast horse and succeeded in lauding him in the county jail. State Detective Walls succeeded in bringing the other boy here later. According to Williams' story John went to the field where the colored boys were working and complained of feeling ill but finally went into the woods. Coming back he asked the two boys to try to get a bird and tailed down in the ditch with his face down and between his hands after giving Williams a shell and the gun Williams and Sharp then went into the woods, but could not find any birds and there presumably arranged the plot. Coming out, Williams raised the gun and shot young Rogers in the neck. Terrified both grabbed their sticks with which they had been "suckering" the corn and beat the boys face and head until they were sure he was dead. Then Sharp went up to the house and secured a abovel, and both dragged the body through the woods to another field where they buried it, after taking over a dollar they found in the pockets. They hid the gun and abovel. Taft's Son Buns Down Man One of President Taft's automobile driven by his eldest son, Robert A Taft, ran over and seriously injured an Italian street laborer at Beverly Mass. At the hospital it was said that there were indications that the workman's skull was fractured had that he was in a serious condition. Young Mr Taft received a long telegraphic message from his father' re garding the accident. The president instructed the young man to give whatever assistance he possibly could to the injured man or to his family. At Pride's Crossing, about two miles from home, the streets were being bled by a gang of men. The automobile was slowed down. The horn sounded and most of the men stepped to the side of the road. One of them, however, was not quick enough and the machine struck him, topping him into the gutter. He was unconscious when picked up by Robert. Taft and his two friends. The man said his name was Michael Phiniswolla. A nearby physician was summoned and the injured man sent to the hospital, while the president's son and his friends followed soon after. The song tal sirconon said, that the skill appeared to be fractured and that the man was in a serious condition. All those who saw the Aguir sald that it was surrey an accident that the automobile was going slowly and that the man stepped directly in front of it. Mexico Re-Elects Diaz President.

JAMES JEFFRIES IS "A HUMAN BEAR" That Is Opinion of Mike Murphy, Trainer of Athletes. BY MIKE MURPHY Reno, Nev., June 24.—For a man of his years, Jeffries shows an almost incredible willingness to submit to the most severe rigors of training. I saw him do things today that it would be hard to exact of a college youngster burning with ambition to make his football eleven. He tackled the hardest kind of a program today Running, playing ball, skipping the rope, chest exercises, boxing with Bob Armstrong, Jack Jeffries and Jim Carburt, shadow boxing and finally a most terrific exercise for developing the abdominal muscles. Every stage of this work was marked by one important feature. Jeffries perspired freely, in fact, 'I never saw a man whose persecution ran in such a stream. ROUGHEST OF WORK. The boxing that Jeffries did was all of the roughest kind possible, and it is evident that Jim expects that it will be a rough bout, with all kinds of ingrighthing. Corbett, good a man as he is, is simply like a child in the hands of this monster Jeffries. Of course Corbett can stand off at long distance and give him a pretty battle at the boxing game, but when it comes to the rushing the battering, heavy inside work, it is a man against a child. Jeffries in his boxing today did not look to be very fast on his foot and on this point I want to see more of him in the days that are set to come. It is impossible but because the workof today was largely confined to ingrighthing and roughing that he did not have a chance to show with what lightness of foot he could move around if need be. It was not possible either to judge much about Jeffries's judgment of distance in the work he did today. It was too much clinch, too much covered up. What will help Jeffries in a roughing contest is the condition of his stomach. The muscles across it are hard as iron I never saw anything like them NEVER LETS UP The awful strain on the abdominal muscles in Jeff's abdominal exercises is continuous, but they show the hardening result. Jeffries never lets up, nor does he puff when it is all over. I tell you no man not in good shape could go through this without collapsing unless he had for months been engaged in the right kind of work to be in shape. Another thing I like about Jeffries is that he can deny his thirst. This is another evidence of good condition. He hardly ever drinks anything except a mouthful of water and he only gargles his mouth with that. Many athletes spoil the effects of their training by drinking too much water and other liquids, but it is evident that Jeffries is not that kind. The regimes that Jeffries has been following is pretty well balanced. He starts at 5 o'clock in the morning, takes three hours, loans an hour for two hours more after 9 o'clock. Then there is a loaf until 4 o'clock, and he takes two more hard hours. Virtually all of the work here will be done out of doors, for Jeffries thinks that this will help him to get used to the altitude, which is of course, much different from that of California. WEIGHS ABOUT 230 POUNDS. Jeffries has been steadily declining to get on the scales in front of the newspaper man, but it is given to me straight that his weight is now 230 pounds, which is just about right for a man of his size. His eyes are beautifully bright and clear and his heart must be right to do the work he does, and not show the strain. I spoke yesterday about the raspberry shortcake he ate. It is undoubtedly a fact that he does entirely follow the dictates of his own judgment in the matter of his meals, but he is old enough in the business, has trained often enough, and certainly knows himself well enough not to make any very sorious blunders. But while he insists on being his own boss, Jeffries is good natured in his training, and is very fair to those about him. He will not be bossed, but he is not arrogant. Nor will anybody, Johnson included, ever be able to rattle him with any ring conversation. He is entirely indifferent to comment, and goes about his work in the most self-contained way I ever saw. THIS HUMAN BEAR. Ho seems to think very well of his work with Farmer Burns, the former wrestler, and the constantly work in the roughest kind of neck holds. If it be true, as has been said, that Johnson's nerve is not all it should be I am curious to see what will be the effect when this human heart gets him in the grip of one of those frightful hips. THE JAZZ expect to have a chance to tell readers of the Times-Dispatch how his condition compares with that of the man he must meet—Times-Dispatch. June 25, 1910. KAUFMAN AS JEFFRIES Imitates Big Fellow's Leads in Bout With Johnson. B. W. N. W. NAUGHTON. Reno, Nev. J. Nov. 27—Twenty-one rounds of boxing was the joint record of Jeffries and Johnson today. Jeffries boxed eleven rounds in the cool of the morning hours, when there was one oak boxing mat and a smile of writers. The latter had heard there would be something doing in the glove life, and were sanguine enough to believe that Jeffries would follow out the program for once. The big follow cook on Burgur, Armstrong, Oohyniki, and Corbett. Jeffries' work was of a snappy character and if he adheres to his latest resolve he will box again tomorrow morning and the morning after. Thursday foreonon Jeffries will disport himself in front of the moving picture machine, and after that, if they can hold him to it, nothing but the lightest sort of exercise will be indulged in till he faces Johnson in the ring. Jeffries does not like to have a ```markdown ``` crowd around when he is working. Johnson is quite the reverse, I doubt for that matter, whether Jack would take any interest in a practice bout if there was not a gaping throng looking on CROWD WATCHES JOHNSON There was a gathering of a couple of hundred around the outdoor platform at Johnson's quarters this afternoon. Johnson, before he left San Franisco, referring to the current rumor that Joffries would make a rushing fight of it from the start, remarked, "I'll be ready for him. I'm making an especial study of in-fighting." Today Kaufman gave an imitation of Joffries, and Johnson was almost entirely on the defense. The men did not stand away and spar for an instant at any point of the bout. Kaufman just kept shouldering in toward Johnson, swinging a left to the body in the way that Joffries has a habit of doing, and Johnson timed the coming of the Kaufman left and beat it down with his forearm time and again. There was scarcely any variation to Kaufman's methods or going after Johnson. He would try for the body with the left Johnson would block and then they would clinch and sway in all the time they were clinched. Johnson was surely making a study of in-fighting, or rather, studying how to prevent his opponent doing any damage at close quarters. POUR INITATION OF JEFF At the beginning of each clutch Johnson would place his pains against the upper muscles of Kaufman's arm and thus prevent him from getting in body blows. As Al tried to break the hold Johnson, without being flurried, would entwine his arms with Kaufman's and bake his attempts to ram in jolly punches. From the way Kaufman behaved it was evident that he was told to do his beat, but he made very little headway. Johnson's defense was too perfect, so he had to get an arm free and cuff Johnson around the ears. Johnson would allow his head to roll with each punch, one of his ways of lessening the force of the blows. Candor compels the remark that Kaufman gave a very poor representation of the way Jeffries uses the left. Al hit out from long range every time, and Johnson had very little difficulty in turning the blow aside. Jeffries rushes and cuts loose with the left at one and the same time. His arm is held close to his side as a ruse and his left shoulder is thrown forward as a buffer. Very often he does not 'let go' the punch until his shoulder almost touches his opponent's breast. MONEY TRANSFERRED TO RENO Promoter Rickard had time today to answer numerous telegrams and to discuss his many details of his presentations with his subordinates. Most important of all asked was the arrangement for transferring to Geno from Ban. Francisco $14,000 of the puppy money, now on deposit to the court city. Rickard was naked by Tim. Bul- MR. JOHN ARTHUR (JACK) JOHNSON, ilvan, of New York, stakeholder, do attend to this at once, and the funds probably, will he in a Reno bank to tomorrow-sullivan, according to his telegram today, expects to arrive on July 1. Rickard and Johnson were in conference for almost an hour at noon, when the champion had done his 8 miles of road work. Both said the subject under discussion was without direct bearing on the fight, but would not say what had been talked of. Johnson later, visited a bank and cashed a check and then was whirled back to the camn. Announcement was made by Tom Flanagan today that a representative or a Canadian syndicate had arrived at Reno to offer $150,000 for the Canadian rights to the fight pictures. FIGHTERS ON LAST TRAN Jeffries and Johnson Have Usual Workout Reno, Nev., June 27.—Here is a cross-section view of the daily morning ceremony that is helping to make Reno a name in the world's mouth wherever spread. What happened this morning at Moana Springs before the sun was well up over the ragged top of the Washoe range may MR. JOHN ARTHUR be described as typical of what has been happening for a few days and what will continue to be a daily morning ceremony until July 4. Remember that this ceremony is an important thing, hedged about by awe, that within an hour after its completion 100,000 words for the world's reading have been put on the wire and that within another hour or two, several million people will be reading these words between the coast. An event which plumps into the world interest from beneath a cottonwood tree in a green valley of Nevada sends its ever-widening circles over wire and cable until the clock's hands have made a complete wring. Then there is another plump, and again the ripples spread. There is a valley, blue green with alfaea, a sun-baked range of mountains on the east and the snow-splotched Sterras on the west. A sprawling white bathhouse over a hot soda spring on one side of a lusky road and on the other a low cottage covered with vines. Behind the cottage is a tent, and the tum- bled bedding on a cot, within it always holds the spectators' thirtier for a moment. His bud is near the tent, and just where two cottonwood trees mingle their branches to make a shade is a small dancing platform; in the middle of this a red-painted canvas is stretched out, and its surface is covered with little lumps of rosin and rosin dust. On the night before Jack Jeffries draws this or that newspaper man aside and whispers in his ear that he would bother get but to the springs in the garden, for the big fellow is going to be born the sun is too hot. Brother Jack gives this advice tentatively and with an aid if in some degree betraying a confidence he only thinks that such will be the morrow's program, and he leaves it up to the vigilant newspaper men to act accordingly. WOMEN TALK FIGHT The electric car that leaves Virginia street, in the center of Rono, at 7:30 o'clock the next morning is comfortably crowded. There are ten or a dozen export observers, who sign these articles that less famous scriveners write for them, a handful of newspaper photographers, fifteen of the local newsmen, and have dropped into town from Pacific coast towns in good season to size up the situation before they wager. Of the plain citizens of Reno there Of the plain citizens of Reno, there are at least a dozen women, who. (JACK) JOHNSON, freshly starched as to their summer frocks, are eagerly chittering about Mr. Jeffries and Mr. Johnson, their respective punches and modes of defense. A follow with a scarred face, who is going out to the ground early with his bundle of Jeffries pennants on varnished canes, tells a follow-passenger, whose wanderings have made him kik to the flag dosier, how when he was chilped water tender on the battleship Ohio at Manila Sailor Scholtberg, of the New Jersey, pounded Beesy Janifay, of the king's nays, to a pulp by using the Jeffries loft hook to the stomach. By 8:30 o'clock there are about 100 persons about the dancing platform in the yard of the training quarters at the springs. An easy application of the privilege of caste divides the crowd. The newspaper writers and one or two chosen friends of the fighter take seats along the four sides of the platform. Among these is a novolist of the red-blood school who just landed from the night train from the East, and who has hurried out to the sooth of communities without waiting, for breakfast. There is a man who has soiled post-haste from Death Valley via Goldfield. He left his pack train at Goldfield, but he stil has on his khaki habit, little saus, and creases of alkali dust. Behind the privileged beings and at a respectful distance stand the 'plain citizens of Reno, men and women, and, as was the case this morning, a 4-year-old boy in starched knickerbockers and a baby in arms 1. M. C. A. Notes. The workers' meeting was a good one last Sunday morning. Every man was in his place and went to work with a zeal. The work in the city home last Sunday was excellent under the directions of Bros. Chandler and Burrell. The jail work last Sunday produced good results. Four prisoners were won Chairman C E White and his committee are working hard to help the other man every time. Master Richard Ballard delivered a special address to the boys last Sunday Master Charles Gibba sang a special solo. Master George R P Burrell conducted the meeting Now is the time to help the boys. Let every mother join in this good work by sending the boys. Mr Bernard L. Allen delivered a very timely address to the men last Sunday Subject.

The Riemond PLANET in speaking of Crum's appointment as Minister of Liberia says 'Why he should be willing to accept such an appointment is a mystery to us. We thought something like that when the appointment was announced, but did not feel called on to say so. Since there are other offices that there are other who are thinking about it and incidentally (this to the PLANET) that "great minds run together." It may be thought a little reflection on the job to express it that way yet it is hardly that, the personality of the man as it is understood to be is rather it. The PLANET says, "He is reported to have a large and lucrative practice in his home city and he must necessarily accept the position at a financial loss to himself. The honor though is something to be considered it is evident that he desired some other recognition and that it was a case of "take this or nothing." President Taft has made no mistake in his selection, but we fear that our distinguished southerner has made a mistake in contenting to accept the appointment." The appointment is a good one personally considered; that is to say, Mr. Crum is evidently fit. But we cannot quite see why he feels that he just must have office at any price unless he feels a sense of vindication — Indianapolis Freeman. Outing to White City.

I have in my possession a prescrip- tion for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescripition free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me.

G. Wilson, president, and S. S. Bogart, vice president of the United Wireless Telegraph company, were taken into custody by United States Marshal Henkel at the company's office. 42 Broadway, New York city and taken before United States Commissiononer Shields to answer a charge of misuse of the mails. The summonses were issued. It is understood, on information furnished by Walter L. Meyer, chief postoffice inspector, Frank A. O'Brien and other postoffice inspectors. The United Wireless Telegraph company was incorporated in Maine to unify wireless interests. It has an thorized $10,000,000 in common stock and $10,000,000 in 7 per cent pre-ferred and participating stock. Assistant United States District Attorney Stevenon requested that Wilson be placed under a bond of $50,000, but the amount finally settled upon was $25,000 A bond for $10,000 was required of Bogart. Their hearing was set for July 12. Chief Postoffice Inspector Meyer in a statement charges the officers of the company with a gigantic stock manipulation plan, declaring that the stock capital of the company, whose assets were about $400,000, had been increased by an interchange of securities and that the price of these shares had been arbitrarily raised to such large amounts that the company at this time had an apparent stock market value of $1,000,000,000. Mr Meyer states that one of the officers has cleaned up $5,000,000. He says there are 28,000 stockholders throughout the country who have placed their money with the company on the representations of its officers that it had a surplus of nearly $7,000,000, when as a matter of fact the company was falling to make operating expenses. Lightning Wrecks Status. Struck by lightning during a severe storm, the storm of Father Matthew, erected by the Catholic Total Abstainer's Union of America at the east side of the big fountain in Fairmount park, Philadelphia, was demolished. The lightning, which was attracted to the statue by the wires of a withered wreath hanging from the arm of the great apostle of temperance, shattered the left side of the figure, while the head was cut off and hung by a shred of metal from the shoulders.

In the presence of more than 1500 invited guests, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Miss Eleanor B. Alexander were married in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church in New York city, and as the wedding chimes pealed forth they notified a mob of nearly twice that number, who were crowded about the entrance of the church and occupying every orn and nook of observation to see the bride and bridegroom. Not since the wedding of Conrado Vanderbilt and the Duke of Marlborough and Ann Gould and Count Bono do Castellane has New York seen such a crowd of the curious assembled to witness a church wedding A detail of police had hard work to keep the crowd at proper distance, and some eager women attempted to force their way into the church Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and his wife were early in arriving, accompanied by Mr and Mrs Nicholas Longworth The bridal party arrived before the crowd became too thick for com fort. The ceremony was performed by Rev Dr Henry M Sanders, a great uncle of the bride He was assisted by Rev Gordon Russell, of Cranford N. J. E.

Richard Parr. the customs deputy at New York, who materially assisted the government in recovering over $200,000 in the sugar underweighing frauds, is to be given a reward or $100,000. This decision was reached at a conference between President Taft and Secretary MacVeagh. There is not money enough available in the moiety fund in the treasury from which rewards are paid to cover the amount agreed on, so that, unless other arrangements are made, congress will be appealed to for the necessary ap propriation. Part discovered a secret spring on the dock of the American Sugar Refining company by which the underweighting practice was carried on. The final discoveries of fraud were made in 1907, since which time the government has been engaged in collecting the duties out of which it had been defrauded Beea Kill Two Horses. A Washington dispatch says: A pair of horses, made wild by ations of a couple of bees, ran in among the hives which sheltered 80,000 insects, upsetting them, and were stung to death. The colored driver was terrifically stung but still lives. His face is swollen to twice its natural size and both eyes are closed. When the bees began to pour out of their hives he ran, but was pursued by hundreds of the honey gatherers. The bees belonged to Dr. Reginald Munson, whose home is on the Virginia side of the Potomac river opposite the national capitol. Hallstones Kill Shickens Southern Indiana was visited by the worst hallstorm in its history, the hall following a cloudburst which destroyed many fields of growing grain. Practically every window in the town of Algiers was destroyed. Live stock was wounded, but no fatalities have been reported. Many shingle-roofed swellings will have to be covered again. Hallstones, which by annual measurement were five inches in circumference, fell and hundreds of chickens were killed. Growing wheat and corn were beaten to the ground and the blades shredded. The wheat and oats crops are practically ruined. The damage is estimated at $100,000. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. THE FACE OF A MAN . JACK JOHNSON'S "GOLDEN SMILE." TAFT WARS FOR POSTAL BANKS Will Force Senate to Pass the Measure. CALLS LEADERS TO TASK Gives Up Trip to, Yale to See Son Graduate and Starts His First Direct Clash With Senate. Abandoning his proposed trip to New Haven, Copn., to see his son graduated from Yale university and announcing that he would stay in Washington "all summer." if need be, President Taft began his first open fight with the United States senate. The postal savings bank bill is the issue between the White House and the north wing of the capitol. The president has announced that the senate must adopt the house bill on this subject. Several insurgents and some of the regulars are strongly opposed to the house bill, and rumors of a JAC albumin against the measure dilled the air It was because of these reports and the further prediction that the absence of the president from Washington would be taken advantage of to amend the bill in the senate so as to make its passage impossible in either branch that the president decided to remain at the White House from now until congress adjourned President Taft won the first phase of the fight when the bill was taken up in the senate The acuse rejected, 24 to 34. Mr Bacon's amendment to strike out the house provision for the withdrawal of funds from banks for the purpose of converting them into government bonds. The fight over the postal savings bank bill has many angles. The most interesting, perhaps, is the fact that the measure, which the insurgents helped to frame and fully approved in the house, is roundly denounced by the insurgents in the senate. President Taft has promised to stand by the house measure, and he believes that it was tacitly agreed that in return for the acceptance by the house of the senate statehood bill, that the senate would accept the house postal bank bill. The house carried out its part of the agreement and now the president means to force the senate to do likewise. Be that as it may, the president and all of his advisers are agreed that the house bill is by far the better of the two. It was only by heroic measures that a bill was put through the house at all, and it is not believed that there would be one chance in a hundred of having an amended measure favorably acted upon. Taft Holds the Whip Hand. It is pretty generally admitted that the president holds the whip hand in the light, and that as soon as a vote can be reached the senate will accept the house bill. The river and harbors bill, containing some hundreds of items in which representatives and senators generally are interested, is still assigned on the president's desk and subject to vote. The public buildings bill, the "pork barrel," affecting nearly every state in the Union, is about to go through the senate, and then will have to re- cive executive approval before it becomes a law and makes available the appropriations, badly needed by some congressmen, to aid them in their campaigns for re-election. Mr Taft, it is said is not unmindful of the influence of these two measures and of what congressmen would do to prevent him vetoing them. President Taft "read the riot act" to a score of senators, Including Senator Crane and Senator Lodge, th-latter of whom was fresh from a sojourn with Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. He plainly told those who called at the White House that the postal savings bank pledge in the Republican platform must be kept, and kept promptly otherwise congress would be forced to remain in session all summer and until next December. If need be He showed plainly that he was not in sympathy with the senate bill and believed that if conferences got hold of th legislation a bill might come out to which he would not want to attach his signature Those who talked with the president left the White House with the impression that if congress does not pass the house postal savings bank bill, and adjourns without final action upon it that the president may immediately issue a call for an extra session. In the fear of this it is likely that something will be done toward satisfying the demands of the president. Several of the so-called "regular K JOHNSON'S "GOLDEN SM Republicans in the senate it was said, had been discovered off the reservation in the final 'round up' on the postal savings bank bill. This phase of the situation has particularly annoyed the president. Because of the revolt by 'regulars who some say are in a plot urged on by powerful interests, Mr Taft daily announced that senators voting against the house bill would be understood as simply opposing any system of postal banks at all and therefore repudiating the party's plenum pledge in this respect. Wild Leap to Death: With a display of sheer indifference and premodulation that was both nerve-folling and spectacular an unidentified man about sixty five years old, dived to death from the topmost lodge of the ten story Scheuer building, Broad and Commerce streets, in Newark, N J The building is 125 feet high. The body struck the Belgian blocks on the back of the head and shoulders. The skull was battered avery rib was shattered and both legs were broken. Railroad Bill Becomes a Law. Administration supporters are jubilant ever their successful fight for the railway bill President Taft signed the bill shortly before midnight Saturday and it became a law inmediately. The final flight was waged in the house on Saturday, much time being saved by an agreement to limit the time of debate to one hour and forty minutes. Quadruplets In Philadelphia Four children, two boys and two girls, were born to Mrs. Besio Cohen, thirty-six years old, of 346 South Boond street, Philadelphia, and three of them died. The survivor, a girl, is a healthy baby and the doctors think she will live. The mother's condition at first was serious, but it has much improved. Brookline Braska Record Walter Brookins, in a Wright biplane, broke the world's aerospace record for altitude at Indianapolis, Ind., when he soared to a height of 4605 feet, according to the measurement of the altimeter. His motor stopped as he was descending, and he made a glide of two miles, landing easy in a field. New Director of Mint Named New Director of Mint Named. It was announced that Thornton Cooke, of the Fidelity Trust company of Kansas City Mo, had been offered the position of director of the mint by President Taft Mr Cooke tactily mitten that the place had been offered him "but would not say whether he would accept it.

William J Kellner accused of complicity with George W Coleman, the young bookskeeper of the National City bank of Cambridge Mass. in the looting of that institution to the extent of about $240,000 was found guilty by a jury in the United States circuit court. The case will be appealed. Got Smallpox From Immigrants. Dr Ira Whitehead the health officer of Wadena n air Newburgh N.Y. is ill with smallpox at his home in MILE." that village.

The new wage schedule agreed to by the adjustment committee of the Brotherhood of Railroad Tranlmen and the Order of Railway Conductors and General Manager Dice, of the Reading Railway company, was made public here. It gives some of the men increase from 6 to 20 per cent but only a few as high as the latter figure according to the different classifications. Some get no advance. The result is a general equalization of wages. The demands that have been asked by the brotherhoods are in line with those made on other eastern railroads. The Reading has never paid its employees as much as a number of the larger trunk lines but the tranlmen considered that conditions have changed during the past five years and believe that the company is able to pay as much as the rest. With the Philadelphia & Reading Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Pennsylvania making settlements with the trainmen the brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors will have success fully completed the movement started last fall for better wages on all of the railroads caft of Chicago and north of the Cheapeake & Ohio. The engineers and firemen of the Reading are now presenting their demands to the officials. Moyad Up • Notsh His Wife--And you are to defend that shoplifter?

JEFTRIES From photo taken April 15, 1910. (Copyright, 1970. by McClure Newspaper and Great Britain. All rights reserved.) CHAPTER XIX. I GO ON THE STAGE AND THEN GET BACK INTO THE FIGHTING GAME I DIDN'T do any fighting for ever a year after beating Corbett. Brady had me busy in the show business. After the Sharkey fight Tom and I had sparred every night for a week at Koster & Blain's old place, torn down now. We were arrested the first night for violating some sort of an anti-boxing law Manny Friend was our lawyer. I remember that Billy Brady got impatient over the legal way of handling the case down there in the Jefferson Market court. He jumped up, pushed Manny aside and made a redhot stoech, telling all about our boxing show. When he was all through the judge asked, "Are you counsel in this case?" "I am not," said Brady "I'm no lawyer. I'm just telling you facts." There wasn't any more trouble this time I played a part in "The Man From the West," a big show that Brady fixed up for me. When I boxed at any theater it was generally with my brother Jack and we weren't both creed. About three months after the Corbett fight John L. Sullivan had a big benefit at Madison Square Garden, and I boxed with him. Three half minute rounds were enough John had put on fat after quitting the game. I just let him punch at me and ducked under his swings until he was winced. Sullin van made a speech. I didn't Fitzsimmons boxed an exhibition with Thorne that night Sharkey sparred too. I told Tom about meeting his father at Queenstown when I went to Europe and how he saw me off at the pier "Good luck to yez," he said, "and may yez lick all the fighters in the world except me big Tom." "You haven't licked me yet," said Tom, grinning. "I ain't licked until I'm knocked out cold." When winter came along I had a lit the experience that came near putting me out of the game. Bob Fitzsimons came around to one of the theaters one night to shake hands and have a talk. Bob sat in a box until the show was over and then came behind the scenes. I stood there in my tights without even putting on a sweater and I was wet and hot from the boxing. The cold wind blew on me, and I felt chilled before Bob left and I went to my dressing room. Two doctors and three rubbers worked over me all night. In the morning I didn't feel much better, but thought I'd go to the hotel and get a good sleep. Joe Maxwell, the singer, and I went to breakfast I ordered a lot of lamb chops, but when they came in I could only eat one, and that was a little one. That satisfied it. Maxwell GRIFIN SPRINTED AROUND THE ROPES WITH ME AFTER KIM. insisted that there must be something seriously wrong with me and made me go to see his doctor. The doctor ordered me to bed. It was pneumonia, and, remembering how near pneumonia came to killing me in San Francisco, I hustled to my room in the Hotel Minot and stayed there several days until I was all right again. "Nine months after the Corbett fight I was to have met Rufin for twenty rounds in Saengerbund hall in Cincinnati. Billy Delaney took charge of my training again, and we opened a camp and started hard work. Every thing was going along fine, and the whole country was interceded in the match when it went wrong. The may, or of Cincinnati was in favor of the fight and had given us assurances that there'd be no interference. But the governor ordered it stopped. An injunction was issued, and the matter went to court. Billy Brady was the principal witness. He told the judge how Mr. Roosevelt, who had just been affected vice president, went to the big lights in New York and how he had reserved boxes for him. That was a fact. Mr. Roosevelt like a good fight better than anything else. But all that didn't make any difference. The fight was called off. After the misfire in Chicago, the Twentieth Century A. U. of San Francisco made an offer for a fight between Rubin and me on Nov. 16, six or seven months away. We signed up. SEVEN Down in my home town, Los Angeles, the boys wanted to see me in the ring, for I hadn't boxed there since winning the world's championship. So a match was made with Griffin, the same old Griffin who had given me my first fight when I was a seventeen-year-old boy. We were to fight four rounds. I guess my fight with Griffin was one of the funniest that ever took place in a ring. I intended to stop Bank in four rounds, but I couldn't got a chance to hit him. From the moment we put our hands up he sprinted around the ropes, with me after him as hard as I could go. He run around the ring so fast in the fourth that I nearly got winded trying to catch him. That coon was tickled hard to death over staying four rounds with the champion. While in Los Angeles I had made another match with Joe Kennedy of San Francisco, a four round bout, to be fought at the Rellance club of Oakland a week after the Griffin affair. Kennedy was a big fellow of about my own weight. He started out in Frisco by taking a decision over Gus Ruhlin in twenty rounds. He was clever. After beating Ruhlin, Joo went to New York to make a cleanup. The first man he fought was Peter Maher, and they figured Peter easy for Joe, who was touted as the coming champion. Joe made a show of Peter for one round, and in the second Peter managed to get over his famous wallop and Joo turned his toes up toward the ceiling until the ten count was finished. The Rellance Athletic club was packed on the night of the 24th. When "I'M ALL RIGHT, BUT I'VE GOT COLD FEET" SAID GES. we began fighting Kennedy started cleverly and got through the first round all right, but in the second I dropped him with a straight left on the law, and he was counted out I was beginning to feel like fighting again now. Billy Delaney had fixed up the training camp and in a few days I went to work. At first I did a lot of hunting and hill climbing—the best training in the world. I expected a hard fight and trained for it. A few days before Nov 15 I was in the best shape of my life and when I boxed that four rounds with Griffin in Los Angeles they had said I was fat and would have a hard time to come back again. We went down to the bay. The first day's work was done in the gymnastium of the Flexibility Athletic club. It was a ladies day in the gymnastium but the club gave them another room to exercise in, and almost all of them for that matter came in to see me work. When that day's training was over I stepped on the scales in the dressing room and weighed just 212½ pounds, stripped. That is the lowest fighting weight I remember except the 204 pounds at which I won the championship from Fitzalmmoons. There was a lot of betting on I was a 2 to 1 favorite and the Rubin money was all from the east. Cali- fornans were with me Rubin was still staying out at Blank en's, taking it easy on the last day. They told me that he looked in great shape and seemed to be confident of winning. Gus was weighing 202 pounds stripped. He was of my own height. He had plenty of cleverness. He was strong. He could take a punch. In reach he had a big advantage over me, having a stretch of seventy-eight and three fourths inches, the longest of all the heavy weights. On the morning of the fight I came down from my room in the Metropole in Oakland and found the weather outside gloomy and wet. That was my lucky weather. All my big fights have been won on wet days. Late in the afternoon Delaney and I went across the bay to San Francisco and had dinner together at the Western, where Al Smith was. Then we went to the St. Nicholas, a big, quiet hotel, and I slept for an hour while waiting the call to the ring. I can always sleep well just before a fight. That's an indication of good nerves. Rublin left Blanken's Six Mile House at 7 o'clock and drove into town with Pop Blanken and Billy Madden. After the fight they told a funny story about that ride. When they came into the city Pop turned to Gus and asked him how he felt. It was raw and cold and daimp Gus suffered and said, "Gee, I'm all right, but my feet are cold!" "What, already?" Kick on. Making a Language. An alleged improvement upon the "international" language, "Esperanto," is the result of the labors of a subcommittee appointed by the international committee on artificial languages which met in Paris, under the presidency of the famous chemist, Prof. Ostwald, in 1907. This new "inter-language" is called "Ido." It has its dictionary, grammars and readers, prepared for the use of readers of eight or nine existing languages. It has been described as a "quintessence of European languages," and its advocates claim that it is simpler and easier to learn than "Esperanto," and that many are adopting it. Prof. Otto Jespersen says it is a "purified Esperanto," freed from the arbitrary word-polynages and word-clipping of that language, its illogical and insultant rules of word-formation and its clumsy alphabet—"Youth's Canonical." SATURDAY JULY 2, 1910. RE-ELECT MITCHELL CHANGELLOR OF ORDER Negroes Name Richmond Banker as Head of Pythian Lodge—Speci- tacular Street Pageant As tracts Attention of Large Crowd. A spectacular street pageant that attracted the attention of crowds that band the skidwalk. State Street for blocks was the deed of the colored grand lodge Knights of Pythias of Virginia, at 230 colors Wednesday afternoon. There were seven hundred in the parade including men on horseback, in car rides and footman. In the lead were the footmen of the various ranks of the order attired in varying uniforms. A score or more rode horseback while the others marched to the music of the K of P band. The grand lodge was in session. Wendy Mannings and reducted John Mitchell Jr. in the negro banker of Richmond, as grand chancellor for the ensuing year. He is the dominating spirit of the order of negroes in Virginia and is presiding over the Bristol meeting. In the afternoon the colored Pythians and their friends assembled at Palfamont park enjoying refreshments. There were hundreds of them present, including the several hundred delegates and many Bristol grocers. The parade matched to the park, followed by many afloat and on shore. A banquet will be given tonight at the Lee Street M E Church where the grand lodge meeting is being held. The meeting will end tonight. PROF BRICE'S ADDRESS The formal address of welcome was delivered by Prof J H Price superintendent of city schools at the Leo Street M E Church Wednesday morning at 10 a clock. It was in part follows Master of Ceremonie *Sir Knights* This is added an honour to me and I am very sensible to the greatness are born great others as above greatness and still others have greatness thrust upon them. This is an honour that has been thrust upon me. When we take a retrospective view of our lives remembering what tools shapes dangers seen and misuse unless we are hurried we cope with praise upon our life and thanksgiving in our hearts to God the Father God the son and God the Holy Ghost. When we ask about us we see we are surrounded so covered over with His blessings. This is a great world in which you and I live my brother my sister. There may be larger world and grander at a later world in which we dwell its mountains are Gods thoughts plowed upon us and says I am not the gift of a gracious Father to His宽爱 children. This is a world that is hard to handle. Yes, get a thorn with every time but are got the roses sweet life is not length out breadth it is what we are all to be. To be alive to only the appetite pleasure money making and not goodness sinfulness purity flowers make Gods eternal love to be all but dead the may live as a conqueror but he must die as a man. Men die but their principles live on. The principles of Damon and Pythias will live on forever. The beautiful blue sky above us is clear this morning and just so clear is the spirit of Pythianism. I have been commissioned to welcome this delegation to our dual life in behalf of Zenith lodge No 111 of Bristol Va. and St Clair Lodge No 90 of Bristol. Teen Let us remember that we are to day treading the sacred soil of the state which gave birth to the Father of His Country, that silver tongued orator, Patrick Henry and the brave and fearless General Robert E. Lee the state in which the hero of our race Booker T Washington was educated. No more hospitable people can be found anywhere. "We welcome you. The doors of our homes and our hearts are ajar for you. We are mindful that if we would not be forgotten when we die we must either write things worth reading or do things worth writing. We hope when you have returned to your homes you will speak of us and write of us."

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Grand Court Convened.—Fine Time. Ladies Pleased. The Grand Court O. of C. of Virginia convened in its thirteenth annual session at Bristol, Va., June 21, 22, 23, with about one hundred delegates and grand officers, notwithstanding the expensive trip to journeys to the state five coaches were necessary for the K. of P. delegation. We were royally entertained by the hospitable citizens of both Bristol Tol vs. Bristol Tenn and all enjoyed the unusual privilege to step over the line into another state by simply crossing State street. The walking was held in the Low Street Wetlands, but most of the delegates were located in Tenbury. The white citizens highly complained the intelligent dignified bearing of all the delegation and the opera house was tendered for the public meeting. The appreciative building was crowded with an appreciative audience and the program was of a high order. The sweet voice of Sir I. G. Patterson charmed the vast assembly. The main feature of the evening was the address of Hon John Mitchell Jr. on the Progress of the Pythians. Besides dealing with his subject he gave sound practical advice along financial lines for the good of our people and the long hearty applause that greeted him at its close showed how well the people received it. Hew A S Thomas, Thomas H White followed and all of the prominent messengers of the grand lodge and directors of the Mechanic's Bank were introduced to the vast concourse of people. The welcome address by Prof Bruce on behalf of the citizens of Bristol was one of the finest ever heard at an fraternal assemblage. The welcome on behalf of the churches by Rev Forrest pastor of Lee Street Methodist was also a mark of care ability and equally highly complimented while the sweet value of Madame Copeland so captivated the audience that her vote was compared with Madame Florent Batsot. The banquet was one of the finest in the history of the Order Two hundred and fifty plates served at a time meant that could be devised on such occasion what the long rows of tables were beautiful to behold. The financial and numerical condition of the Order were much better. Some importantaws for the upbuilding of the Order were enacted and the grand orders were approved. The body of the highest praise and bravery was paid to Zacharia Taylor and the officers of Bristol Va and Rothes. That hoping to have the Order of Bristol Va Rev Dr W R Gallinis Indicated by His People. Who Were in the Majority at the Meeting As to why limit a minister will seek to destroy the good influence of a fellow minister was granted Thursday night night June 16 at a meeting called by Preselling Elders Rev H. H Cooper to hear complaints or objections to the present pastor of Bethal A M E Church, German town Rev Dr W R Gallin. The meeting was a miserable failure, so far as the intent and motive for calling it was concerned but was a complete vindication for Pastor Rev Dr Gallin. Out of the possibly 215 members of the church only 52 were present of this number fifty voted in favor of the pastor and his administration and 9 opposed and some of those not members of the church Just why this proceeding was in stated upon at Bathol Church Germantown by Presiding Elder Cooper because as he alleged there were some complaints we wonder why the same number of procedure is not issued upon to this same official at Bathol Church this city where there has been a result on the part of the members, is a problem that is hard to understand. The work of Rev Dr Gullins at Bathol has been a success and far more go than that of any of his predecessors. The vindication of Rev Dr Gullins Thursday night, is but another worthy testimonial of his success as a pastor in one of the most important appointments in the Philadelphia Annual Conference Philadelphia Pa Courant Southern Political Stench The Richmond PLANET agrees with the position of the Tribune as to the appointment of Dr W A Crum of South Carolina, to be Minister President and Consul General to Liberia The PLANET says 'We cannot understand why President Taft should want to send so good a man out of the country He was an ideal collector of the port of Charleston . We stated why in the Tribune or last week Compromises for offices or for cash by colored Southern Republicans have protested against political rights and standing of the colored Republicans of the Southern States It is no satisfaction whatever to us to have to say so. The truth which cures the falsehood of a given condition, although it kills those responsible for it, should not only be spoken now, but it should, have been spoken all during the past thirty years, but as in church matters, so in those political, we adopted a policy of silence, in the hope that the evil would heal itself by its own putrescence, the stench of it, more surely than by uncovering and stirring it up. We preferred to fight the enemies without rather than within the race house. It was a false position, and the colored people have paid deeply for it in the Church and in politics, in the Northern and Southern States. We shall no more make it or the like of it.

It is time to call a halt.
