THE RICHMOND PLANET HORRIBLE MASSACRE Texas, the Scene of the Outrage. Helpless Colored People Butchered. NO EXCUSE FOR THE CRIME-EIGHT WHITE MURDERERS IN JAIL. VOLUME XXVII, NO. 36. HORRIBLE MASS Texas, the Scene Helpless Co. Butch NO EXCUSE FOR THE MURDERE Palestine, Texas, July 30.—At least eighteen negroes were killed in a racial clash in the extreme eastern section of Anderson county last night and today, the culmination of an enmity between the races brewing for several weeks. Eighteen is the number dead, according to the more conservative reports which have reached here from the isolated section where the disorder occurred. Other reports place the total fatalities at between thirty and forty. It was also reported that several white men were either killed or wounded, but each rumor as to casualties among the whites has met an authoritative denial. TROOPS REACH PALESTINE. Troops reached Palestine early tonight and established quarters at the county prison, where it is planned they will remain until tomorrow unless further fighting necessitates a night march to the scene of the disturbances, about 25 miles distant. It is reported, however, that at nightfall the belligerents began to disperse, and further bloodshed will, in all probability, be averted. The first advices of the disturbance reached Palestine this morning. Officers were sent to the scene, local ammunition stores ordered to suspend sales and the saloons closed. It was quickly apparent, however, that the situation was beyond the control of the local officers, and troops were asked for. A company of militia under command of Captain Golfrey Fowler, former United States army officer, and more recently engaged in Nicaragua in the cause of the insurgents dispatched from Marshall, Texas, arrived tonight. CAUSE OF THE RIOTING The rioting began late yesterday near the village of Slocum. Several reasons are assigned as the cause for the racial feeling. First, the refusal of a negro to pay an obligation for which a white farmer stood sponsor. This was some days ago. Later, a white man received notice that he should perform road work under the supervision of a negro. The white man refused. Later came reports of secret meetings among the negroes and an alleged confession of a negro that the murder of the man in question, James Spurger, and his family, was planned. The situation reached a climax, however, yesterday, when a negro was discovered advancing on Spurger from the rear, armed with a shotgun. He was trailed for some distance and shot by a posse when he refused to surrender. With the shooting of the negro, those of both races armed themselves and the rioting began late last night. FIGHTING THROUGHOUT NIGHT Throughout the night the meeting of parties of the two races was the signal for a resort to arms, fatalities attending many of the encounters. Finally the negroes were driven to the cover of a heavily-timbered section, and the crowd or whites, about 200 in number, formed into posses and followed, scattering over a wide area. As the small bands met they clashed, and, according to those returning to Palestine tonight, in each instance the negroes were forced to give ground, finally disappearing among the thickly-wooded recesses. A small portion of the pursuing party is still in the woods, but the majority have returned to their homes and the outbreak is believed to have reached its end. Besides the troops, four members of the state rangers reached Palestine late today, and it is planned that the militia and rangers shall work in conjunction with the county officials in arresting those responsible for the uprising. The detachment of rangers went to Slocum tonight. RUSHED TO AID THE WHITES. While the disturbance began in the vicinity of Slocum, its spread through the towns of Densom Springs and Elkhart followed quickly, farmers gathering with the first news of the outbreak and adding their numbers to the attacking party. From Palestine sheriff's posses and crowds of citizens went to the scene in automobiles, wagons, or any mode of conveyance most available. A run was made on ammunition stores, and the local stocks of weapons and cartridges were almost exhausted before the order suspending their sale became effective. With the absence, en route to the scene of the trouble, of the county officials the situation in Palestine was taken in hand by County Judge B. H. Gardner, who ordered that saloons close and the sale of fire arms be discontinued except on an order or the court. It was planned that the court session end this afternoon, but in view of the disorder the session will continue Monday. FOUR NEGROES SHOT IN ONE HOUSE. According to a member of the party of whites the first killing occurred just across the county line, in the adjoining county of Houston, where the negro who attempted to kill Spurger was driven. A few moments later two negroes were killed in Anderson county and the riot became general. In one house four negroes were shot to death, he declares another was probably fatally wounded and still another has 13 buckshot in his body and it is believed will die. Then the outbreak became general and before the riot ended about 15 others were killed. It is reported tonight that further rioting is in progress in Houston county, but his has not been confirmed. Palestine, Texas., July 31.—At least fifteen, and it may be twenty, negroes all of them probably unarmed, were hunted down and killed by a mob numbering perhaps 200 or 300 men, in the Slocum and Denlison Springs neighborhood of Palestine last night and yesterday, according to the opinion of Sheriff Black, who returned early this morning after a twenty-four hour absence in that district. The Sheriff told of a fierce man hunt in the woods, of riddled bodies found on lonely roads and of the terror almost indescribable among the inhabitants in the southeastern part of Anderson county. "I found the greatest excitement prevailing throughout that section of the country," said Sheriff Black. "Men were going about and killing negroes as fast as they could find them, and, so far as I have been able to ascertain, without any real cause at all. These negroes have never done anything that I could discover. MANY DEAD BODIES "We found eleven dead bodies, but from what I have heard the dead must number fifteen or twenty. We came across four bodies in one house. I don't know how many there were in the mob, but I think there must have been 200 or 300 altogether. "I sent two detectives out through the county to collect all the arms they could find in the house of the negroes. They made a thorough search, but found only nine little single-barreled shotguns. "I believe the main trouble was due to a controversy over a promisory note R. Afford, a white man, who is a cripple, had gone on a negro's note. The note came due, and he got after the negro to renew it or pay it. The negro would not do it, and cursed him. The incident caused bad feeling. Then I think Mr. Spurges probably had a little trouble with them. At least they claimed that he had whipped one. Somebody saw this negro slipping up to Spurges's house. "This negro was killed, and then they went to killing them all over the country. I think the most of that crowd of men came from Houston county, and, according to what I am told, that the shooting was still going on late yesterday evening. They were hunting the negroes down like sheep. We found two in the road that had been shot about 10 o'clock night before last. (Continued on Eighth Page.)

The new Mechanics' Savings Bank building was on fire Friday night, 29th alt. if the statements of hundreds of people, who viewed the roof at about 10:30 are to be accepted for their face value. Many may have that opinion yet, but it was all due to the good times of Mecca Temple, I. D. O. K. K. of this city, which gave one of its noted banquets on the roof garden. MEMBERS ACT. Members of the Temple were stationed around the parapet walls and at a given signal, the electric lights went out and the red fire flared up from about twenty-four points, presenting a magnificent spectacle. The building was outlined against the sky and the "conflagration" could be seen for at least five miles. A LARGE ATTENDANCE A large number of ladies and gentlemen were on the roof and the attendance was greater than at any previous time in the history of the Order. The Knights wore their red fezes and brought their ladies to the palatial structure in lighted carriages. Covers were laid on the roof for two hundred persons and relays in the service followed. MUSIC FURNISHED Music was also furnished and those who cared so to do "tripped the light fantastic toe." Caterer Isahal Love furnished the banquet. The cool breezes and the well-lighted city with the commanding appearance of the roof garden made the occasion all the more enjoyable. Royal Vizier John Mitchell, Jr., and his corp of officers were delighted with the success of the entertainment. The Committee of Arrangements consisting of Sirs W. R. Green, M.

Cincinnati, July 31.—A letter has been received here from Ava Townsend, former member of several of the most prominent athletic clubs of New York and Boston, by his brother Myron Townsend, which says that James J. Jeffries is suffering from over-stimulation of the heart, and will never be able to fight again. The letter comes from Avizon, Culatina Island, where Townsend has been spending the past two weeks fishing with Jeffries. PRICE CONVICTED Appeals to Hustings Court When Fined for Selling Liquor. W. A. (Catty) Price, colored, was fined $100 and placed under $500 security for twelve months in Police Court Wednesday morning on a charge of operating an objectionable resort at 411 North Seventeenth Street. The arrest of Price grew out of the case against Lucinda Davis, who was arrested on a charge of selling liquor without a license at the place. She stated that she was not responsible for what went on in the house—that Price was the lessee. Some days ago officers raided the house and discovered white and negro men drinking together, but the case against the woman was dismissed. Price testified that he rented the house for the woman, and that he did not live there. The case was submitted without argument, and Justice Crutchfield immediately rendered his decision. Price appealed. ATHLETICS WIN BOTH GAMES Good In and Out-fielding by the Crack Teams. The Southside Base Ball Park seems to be the centre of attraction now-a-days. More than 500 fans and fannies wended their way to this enclosure last Monday evening to see the Athletics cross bats with the Newport News Black Stockings. The game was a hard contested one which resulted in the score of 8 to 5 in favor of the home team, (Athletics.) Tuesday evening was the scene of another great throng of ball fans, seating room being at a premium. It was the last of a 2 days series and an interesting and hotly contested game from the words "Play Ball!" to the end. The game was a pitcher's battle, the score being nothing, nothing up to the sixth inning. The crowd went wild cheering when in the seventh Patterson of the Athletics succeeding in scoring the only run in the game. Be it said to the credit of Managers Threat of Athletics and Cunningham of the Black Stockings, that they have the strongest aggregation of ball tossers south of Mason and Dixon line.

It is printed PLEASE SEE MR. A L COP PLEASE ROLLING MEMPHIS THAT HORRIBBIT BUTCHERING Good news where it is that of late our outpost of town was laid with horror the flood that had harried accounts of that will assault us of coloured people Texas. From the storm shortly after nozes of crops was evidently afflicted by the signs of the horrible slang that everywhere met his fate. The affliction occurred in the sloth and the nison Springs neighborhood near Palette Texas. Reports were sent out that Nigro were slaughtering whites that they were well armed and plentifully supplied with ammunition and that they had killed planers and state troops when as a matter of fact they were running like rabbits before hunters and were about as harmless. The telegraphic reports which give a true description of the massacre real as follows. Palestine Texas July 14 At least 15, and it may be 20 nigros were hunted down and killed by a mob numbering perhaps 200 or 300 men in the Sieum and Denison Springs neighborhood of Palestine last night and yesterday according to the opinion of Sheriff Black pressed today. The sheriff returned early morning after a 24 hour absence in that district where racial trouble has been noted and described in some detail the conditions which he found to exist here. He told of a four man hunt in the woods, or riddled bodies found on lonely roads and of the terror almost indescribable among the inhabitants in the southeastern part of Anderson county. Sheriff Black is sure that his extinction of the dead is conservative, he said he had a careful investigation mode. Sheriff Black is quoted as follows We won't find some of the bodies until the location is revealed to us by the buzzards. I found the greatest excitement prevailing throughout that section of the country. Men were going about and killing negroes as fast as they could find them and so far as I have been able to ascertain without any real cause at all. These negroes have never done anything that I could do cover. There was just a hot headed gang hunting them down and killing them. We found 11 dead bodies but from what I have heard the dead must number 15 or 29. We came across four bodies in one house on a match between Denlson Springs and Stocum. This then is the testimony of the democratic sheriff who is evidently no Negro-lover yet the horriliness of the slaughter so impressed him that he bluntly told the whole truth. These colored people were not only harmless, but they had never done naught to any one. He tells the story further. 'I don't know how many there were in the mob but I think there must have been two or three hundred, altogether. I understand that Mrs George Scarborough, of Slocum, saw a party of 40 or 50 through her field. Some of them cut the wires and went through on horseback and some of them walked through. They went down the street and the golf dead bodies. One negro had been killed at this house the night before and three wore sitting up with the remains, one of them being an old and whiteheaded negro. "These three were killed right where they were found." To further emphasize the absolute heartlessness of the slaughter and the absolute lack of justification therefor, he said: ... "So far as I can learn, the necroes were not armed. I have been somewhat disabled by a runaway accident, and therefore could not make a personal investigation of this point, but I sent two detectives out through that county to collect all the arms they could find in the houses of the negroes. They made a thorough search, but found only nine shotguns, none of which seemed to have been fired lately and about thirty shells, all loaded with small shotgun only way to save the living is for the dying to leave their mark behind in the obliteration of their murderers. When colored men buy their own homes and their own rifles and their own shotguns and their own ammunition these kind of killing excursions will not be popular in the section of the country where these kind of colored people live. lution or hill under suspension, it requires a two-thirds majority vote, and as usual, the Democratic members, particularly from the South, were there in sufficient number to prevent its passage by a two-thirds majority, but it carried heavily, and will, when brought up in its regular order at the next session, undoubtedly pass the House without the slightest difficulty. The Independent. A STAUNCH FRIEND OF THE NEGRO This then confirms the opinion that it was a brutal slaughter of helpless unarmed people who had never done any harm to any one and who were never liable to do so. They were simply butchered by a mob of irresponsible white cowards, the lowest type of the white face and a disgrace to that class of people whose accomplishments in science, literature and art have given them the foremost place in the world's history. It is not to be wondered that the better classes of white people are hanging the itch it has in shine and demanding that white men of this type and character shall be somnally punished. The sheriff said. I am led to believe that the main trouble was due to a controversy over a professory note. This may not be true but that is the impression I have at this stage of the investigation R. Afford a white man who is a cripple and gone on a negro note. The note came due and he got after the negro to renew it or pay it or something of the kind and the negro would not do it and cursed him. The indictor caused bad feeling. Then I was sent to the court and the negro put trouble with him. At length they accused that he had whipped one somebody saw this negro slip on to Springs' house. This negro was killed and that they were to kill them over the country. I have been king to Mr. Sultan. I have told me two wives, a sister and a wivesday. I have met the king of the city of Philadelphia. I have the king of the crowd of colonists. He is the king of the county and a kinging to what I am told the showing was going on late yes to day evening. They were hunting the negroes down like sheep. We don't two in the road that had been shot about 9 o'clock night before host. It was evident that at the time they were killed they were trying to get out of the county for they had their bundles of clothes with them. He continued Because of my disabled condition, I got to see only two babies myself but my deputies found dead negroes scattered around everywhere. General all they had been killed with bookbill. I have now two deputies down here and these are working in conjunction with the raiders who went down last night. If I am able to ride to tomorrow I shall go back myself. I hope that the situation is now under control. Our first I heard about this story was about 11 o'clock a Friday night when the sheriff of Houston court is appointed me that a white man had killed two negroes in his county near the line and wanted to know if I would not meet him at a trap and go with him to make the arrest. At 12 o'clock he telephoned me that it had all happened in my county and then I got ready and sent two men on down there and I went yesterday morning. He still forbids L everybody was armed with shot guns. They had the women and children all bunched up in places and were guarding them. Many people were so scared and excited that they could hardly tell their own names. The people right above Sloom and Denson Springs were not in the mob but this other gang had been setting out our safety reports that hundreds of nerosques to the teeth were coming from Cherokee county. They telephoned me early yesterday morning that two hundred nerosques were at Denson Springs heavily armed and when we got there we found one negro and he was not armed but he was badly scared. If reports that I have had given to me are to be credited there must be fifteen or twenty dead, all of them nerosques. It will be difficult to find out just how many were killed because the dead are scattered all over the woods. Some will probably never be found. Arrests have been made and eight of the lynchers are in jail charged with first degree murder. The better element of white people are evidently ashamed of this record. These reports have gone over the whole civilized world and as a result, emigration to the southern states will be checked. No man will want to go where human life is so cheap and where the sworn officers of the law are only able to meet hoens of dead men have been left as prey for the buzards. There are some people, who advocate this defenseless conduction on the part of colored people in order to prevent the slaughter of more of them. We have never been able to subscribe to this phase of the question Negro hunts are popular because they are hardly ever dangerous. The women at home are not harrowed and uneasy for fear that their fathers, husbands and brothers may be injured in the contest. They know that the end will be dead Negroes and live white men. They know too that post mortem arrest are useless expenditure of time and money on the part of the state and that other white men and women will come to the relief of the murders and defy the expense of the trial, even if liberal minded, justice loving white men are intent upon securing a conviction of the guilty parties. For our part, we think that the only way to save the living is for the dying to leave their mark behind in the obliteration of their murderers. When colored men buy their own homes and their own rifles and their own shot guns and their own annuition these kind of killing excursions will not be popular in the section of the country where these kind of colored people live. The wild, reckless, dissolute colored men have no business to have deadly weapons, but those of the law abiding tax paying peaceable kind should be properly protected. They can then upon a moment's notice combine with the better class of white people in protecting the community against lawless colored men as much as they can against lawless white ones. Whether it be by defensive methods or by the law, lynch law must go and the lynchers with it THE NATIONAL NEGRO EXPOSITION. Dr Washington Explains—A Se Back, But Not a Defeat—The South 'gainst It Editor of The Richmond PLANET Richmond, Va My dear Sir, Various members of our race and many organizations, have been so very kind in assisting to get the bill through congress appropriating $ to be used in defying the expenses of a preliminary commission to investigate and report upon the wisdom of holding a Sent Centennial of 1717. Negro freedom in 1917 that I found that a perfectly frank statement of what has been done and the present progress for the legislation ought to be made. THE PRESIDENT'S SUGGESTION I cannot take in the first place, the idea of a preliminary commission was first suggested by President Taft and this idea as is well known was urged upon Congress in his last message it seemed to all of us at the time that the course by which President Taft was the wisest to pursue, and if Congress had seen its way clear to have carried out the Ident Taft's wish matters would have been by this time. Importantly how ever that was the approach upon business before Congress that it seemed impossible to reach the Exposition bill in the regular course of committee reports before the ad-journment of Congress. THOSE WHO ADVISED IT Hon W. A. Rodenberg of Illinois with the consent and co-operation of Hon E. L. Taylor Jr of Ohio both of whom charged charge of the bill thought it wise to have the bill called up under a suspension of the rules in order to expedite the matter. When a bill is called up under suspension of the rules, two third majority is required to pass it. Unfortunately, when the bill was called up certain Democrats thought the Republicans were simply trying to pass the bill in order to make politically capital out of it. Consequently it was made a party measure practically all the Republicans voting in favor of it and practically all the Democrats voting against it. It will be seen that a large majority of the members of the lower house favored the bill. The exact number was 189 SIGNATOR JONES DID ALL HE COFLD Lougent to add that Senator W. L. Jones of Washington chairman of the Senate Committee on Exposition- did all he could in favor of the bill along with Congressman Roderberg and Congressman Taylor, President Taft also manifested the deepest interest and did all he could to bring about the passage of the bill by Congress. All who are interested in the Exposition are greatly obligated to him, to Congressman Roderberg to Congressman Taylor, and to Senator Jones, who from the first have shown the deepest interest in trying to get the bill through Congress. There are also other members of Congress who deserve the thanks of our race for their activity and interest in behalf of the bill. ANOTHER EXPLANATION. In order that the race may see just how matters stand at present, I give portions of letters received on the subject. In a recent letter, Congressman Roddenberg says, 'As you are probably aware, my resolution providing for the appointment of a preliminary commission to investigate the question of the advisability of holding an exposition to commemorate the semi-centennial of the Negro's freedom in America was defended on Monday, as it failed to get the necessary two-birds vote. The vote stood 189 to 87. The votes in opposition to the resolution came entirely from the Democratic side. I will state, however, that we have no intention to be itself discouraged. It is any purpose to bring out a bill at the short session providing for holding an exposition of this kind, and securing consideration on Calendar Wednesday, wholly only a majority will be necessary to pass the bill. I believe it will be an easy matter to get this majority in a Republican Congress. CONGRESSMAN TAYLOR'S OPINION Congressman Taylor writes as follows "I have your letter of June 22. The bill has not failed. In order that you may understand the situation and not feel that we have lost a good fight, I will say that the resolution providing for the commission was on the regular calendar, and it became ordained under the rule of the Committee on industrial Arts and Expositions would not be reached in its regular order. For that reason, Mr. Rodonberg procured the consent of the speaker to be recognised under a suspension of the rules. In order to put through a reco- lution or bill under suspension, it requires a two-thirds majority vote, and as usual, the Democratic members, particularly from the South, were there in sufficient number to prevent its passage by a two-thirds majority, but it carried heavily, and will, when brought up in its regular order at the next session, undoubtedly pass the House without the slightest difficulty. AN HONEST EFFORT This was an honest and sincere effort to get the bill out sooner than it would have been called up on the regular calendar, and therefore, as I stated in the beginning, it is not a defeat, but only a temporary setback and leaves the resolution exactly where it was before it was called up. The Senate will pass it, it will pass in the short session of the Sixty first Congress, and am in deed sorry that we could not put it through successfully at this session." WILL TRY AGAIN Senator Jones of Washington, who had charge of the bill in the Senate, has written to similar effect. He plans at the coming session to cooperate in the effort to secure favorable action at the hands of Congress. At the coming session of the National Negro Business League the whole matter will be considered and in all probability new plans will be decided upon Before any definite decision is made Professor R R Wright the members of the preliminary committee and others interested in the movement will be consulted. Certainly no harm has come from what has thus far been attempted. That position of the subject has resulted in calling the attention of the nation to the important of this celebration in some form it is safe to say the event will be duly recognized and celebrated in 1913 BOOKER T WASHINGTON Tuskegee Institute Alabama July 2, 1910 REGISTER VERON'S PREDICAMENT Wanted in Both Places—Will Hold His Present Place Washington, August 1, 14 Colored circles here were set again last Sunday by a tilt the Sunday dailies coming out with a story intimately that Dr W T Vernon would resign his position as Register of the Treasury. The newspapers intimated that he had also resigned his place as president of Quindaro University in Kangas. In the same newspapers appeared an interview with the Register in which he denied that he had resigned as president of Quindaro University, and also his denial that he would resign as Register of the Treasury. In view of the fact that The Christian Recorder carried a statement, under the name of Bishop A Grant, to the president of Quindaro University, and also resigned the presidency of Quindaro University, the fact that The Poet Piohlaimov carried a statement that after resigning the presidency of Quindaro in June Dr Vernon had returned to Topeka last month to see the Governor not about securing the presidency of the institution again and in view of a rumor that Bishop Grant had stated that he had again been elected president the people here are all up in the air as to the Doctor's real status It is also reported that Re (Dr Vernon) told several friends here, who announced it that he had resigned the presidency of the institution in Kansas When Bishop Grant writes an article stating Dr Vernon has resigned the presidency of Quindaro, and Dr Vernon in an interview gives out a positive statement that he has not resigned the people are wondering who is correct. At any rate the publication of this report of bringing out number of candidates for Register of the Treasury, a position Dr Vernon also positively announces he will not resign from Dr Vernon founded and built up Quindaro University to its present commanding position as an institution of learning and as Register of the Treasury he has made a popular official with many of his colored friends.

Nervous Reaction Real Cause, Says "Bob" Armstrong. Boston, Mass., July 31.—Big Bob Armstrongq, the heavyweight-pugilist who was a member of Jim Jeffries' training camp from the time the once heavyweight champion first began active training for his fight with Jack Johnson, entertains only one belief in regard to the white man's downfall. He is positive that nervous reaction, following months of the hardest kind of training, was responsible for Jeffries' defeat. "You can say for me, and put it as strong as you like, that it was notching more or less than nervous reaction that beat Jim Jeffries," said Bob "All the excuses that are being offered for Jeff's defeat are amusing and as many of them come from men who assisted in preparing Jim for his fight with Johnson it is only natural that they should try to protect themselves as far as possible. CONSTANTLY TOLD OF RESPON SIBILITY. 'How did Jeffries nervous break down come about?' Simplie enough. You know Jeffries is not much of a fellow for talking about himself or giving public exhibitions, and when he began training in earnest tons of letters and telegrams began to pour in upon him, telling him of the trust the white race placed in him and of his friends stalking their last dollar on him to win them over against exactly that sort of thing before, and naturally it preyed on his mind it was not until the last couple of months of his training that I first began to take notice of his nervousness. "Mind you, it was not the fact that he was going to fight Johnson that worried him. It was the everlasting crowd of lightseakers that crowded his camp. As the time of the fight drew nearer these people jammed the gymnasium daily, hoping to get a chance to see Jeff do some boxing, and I want to say right now that if the white people, his friends, had kept away and let him train as he wanted to there would have been no nervousness and fewer fishing trips. "It happened day after day that he had planned to do some boxing, and when he would come in from his road work he would ask Choynaki 'Jack', Jeffries, 'Farmer' Burns and myself to get ready, but when he made the change he him and get flashed. Instead." "Don't you ever believe that it was lack of condition or lack of boxing exercise that beat Jeffries. He was in as grand physical condition when he stepped into that ring at Reno' as I ever saw a man. He was awfully nervous though, and had been for three of four days before the fight." STRONG IN DRESSING ROOM "I guess I was one of the first to see that his body was a good deal hotter than it ought to be for a fellow who was in grand shape. That was the nervousness, and it increased steadily until the boll rang for the men to start fighting." Armstrong long said that Jeffries was as strong as ever in his dressing room before the fight, and roughhed his trainers about an unceremoniously he over did. It was the tumultuous reception that was accorded him as he made his way to the ringside and the deafening roar that greeted him when he climbed through the ropes that completely unstrung the former and made him easy prey for Johnson, according to Arm strong's boll. "And you might mention also that kidding in Jeffries' corner did not do him any good, other. Say from me that there were altogether too many people in Jeffries' corner who wanted to get into the pictures, instead or trying to calm their man. "Put it as plainly as you want to that I think Joffries got too much advice and from too many sources. In stead of rattling Johnson, the kidding behind Jeff and he would have been better advised and I would have had less advice and few advisers and had been allowed to plan his own fight. A LOT OF NEEDLESS ADVICE "Can any one conceive of those fells in Jim's corner—and I won't mention any names—telling him how to fight? Wasn't he the champion, and didn't he lick every man who sought to tell him how to lick Johnson? On the face of it, it sure looks as if Joffries knew how to fight better than the man he had licked. "If Joffries had not been listening to the advice that was hollered at him he wouldn't have taken so many punches either, for he fought like an amateur turning his head every time a piece of advice was shouted at him. "Every time Corbett and the rest of the 'wise ones' in his corner yelled at Johnson, all Jack did was to step back out of range, and then make some tantalizing reply. I tell you, for experts, those wise follows in Joffries' corner did more to hurt him than Johnson." FRAME-UP CRAZY YARN. Asked point-blank if there was any possibility of there being any truth in the report that Jeffries had understood that the fight was fixed and Johnson this to lie down. Armstrong replied with beat: "That's a crazy yarn. Why should Jeffries want anybody to lay down? Did any one before ever hurt him? Jack Johnson is the champion, and I must proud that one of my race holds the championship title, but let me may that Johnson was never in Joff's class when he was fighting right. Why then should Jim have been afraid of him and want him to quit? "What talk about a frame-up is all red. Now just let me give you a couple of instances in connection with the fight that may convince the public that everything was on the level. "When Tox Rickard came to Joff's camp at Rowdennan and told him that the fight could not be held in Prisso, but would have to be transformed to Nevada. Joffries was pretty near and the whole thing came very near being called off right then and there. "I heard Jeffries himself finally consent to fight in Neyada just to save Rickard from further financial loss. It was as a favor to Rickard pure and simple that he consented to go ahead with the match AFRAID JOHNSON WOULD QUIT "Then Rickard kept running over to Jeff's camp at Reno every little while for a week before the fight and I afterward learned that it was in regard to splitting the purse "Johnson wanted to divide the money evenly, but Jeff stuck to the original articles. 75 and 20 per cent and only agreed to cut it 60 and 40 when there was danger of Johnson quitting cold "I think it might poor business for the men who promoted the fight to tell so many secrets in connection with it after it was all over. If there was anything to be told the public should have known of it be- fore the fight took place." When "Bob" was asked if he thought Jeffries could defeat Johnson if they ever met again he was noncommittal. "You can gamble every cent you've got that 'Je' would fight 100 per cent better," he said. "What he needs is two or three flights before he again tackles Johnson though. It will probably be some time before any one will be found who can beat Johnson, but believe me he is not the great fighter people think he is, and the first man that presses him close will see him running like a rabbit from a hound. According to Armstrong, Langford has the best chance of any of the contenders just now to beat Johnson and Johnson knows this too says Bob." 'Langford is just the type of fighter to fight Johnson where he ought to be fought' in the body. The Bossman is strong quick, immensely clever and a terrific bitter and has improved a whole lot since he fought Johnson fifteen rounds in Chelsea a few years ago. To my mind Johnson had not added anything since then except, perhaps confidence. JACK JOHNSON MUST FIGHT LANGFORD OR CRAWL Latter's $20,000 Side Bet to Be Posted in a Few Days—Joe Woodman, Gibson and Hughes Say the Negro Champion Soon Will He Driven Into a Corner. Jack Johnson will have to fight Langford or get out of this country," said Joseph Woodman manager of Langford, yesterday "A forfeit and side fee of $200 will be posted inside of the next five days. In half of Langford and unless Johnson covers the money blinding a match inside of twenty days after the coin goes in Langford will lay claim to his little Joseph Hughes, a New York man who thinks Langford can whip Johnson has guaranteed to furnish the $20,000 side bet demanded by Johnson Mr Hughes is well known as a boxing enthusiast and has been anxious to see Langford mix it up with Johnson for a long time. "Personally I believe Langford can stop Johnson in a fight of twenty rounds or more Johnson is overrated Jeffries, poor fellow, was a back number when he got into the ring at ReaO. I never believed Jeff could come back and when I saw him stand up for the first round I was sure that he would lose. But do you know that Johnson was afraid of him it's a fact Why. Johnson didn't dare to extend himself for ten rounds because he didn't know whether Jeff was a counterfelt or not. Then as he realized he was up against a punching bag he sailed in Johnson's victory, in my opinion, wasn't much to drag about for Langford or Kaufman of Johnson. He was half the time Talk is cheap in pugilism and I know that Johnson has been accusing us of bluffing because we didn't have $20,000 to bet on the six several months ago, but we got the money now and as soon as we post it the public will quickly learn who is on the level." "I can vouch for Mr. Hughes," said President Gibson of the Fairmont A C yesterday. "He is a member of my club and has plenty, of money. As a matter of fact he handed me a $10,000 bill, the first I ever saw, two weeks. ago and told me to give it to Woodman as part of the side bet Mr. Hughes didn't care to be known in the matter, as but Johnson insisted on $20,000, thinking that Woodman couldn't command that much ready money. Mr Hughes agreed to put up the entire amount, and fur therefore he tells me he will wager money. He says he will wager side odds. Johnson has got to make a match with Langford or crawl. Personally I think Johnson will refuse to fight, for he knows Langford is too dangerous a proposition for him to take chances with. But Langford is going to corner him just the same so that he public will know who is to blame if there is no match." "Jim Driscoll, who saw Langford knock out an Iman Hague, the English heavyweight champion, in London a year ago, told me that Langford's exhibition of gameness was wonderful. Hague, a terrific hitter, knocked him down several times in the early rounds, but could make no impression. When Langford scored the knockout with one short punch on the jaw Driscoll declared the trick was done so quickly that few of the spectators could understand it. That is why English sporting men regard Langford as the king and have accused Johnson of being afraid to meet him. The fact that Johnson refused an offer of $10,000 made by me a year ago for a six round bout with Langford proved to my satisfaction that he was afraid of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. the Boston slugger and I see no reason to change my opinion" "I will furnish the entire sum of $20,000 within a week," said Joseph Hughes yesterday. "Langford has been a later Johnson for three years and now the latter's own proposition will be accepted Langford can beat this big bluffer and my money says so" Langford is a slight favorite over Kaufman for their six round bout at Shiba Park, Philadelphia, next Wednesday night. Interest in this affair is increasing to such an extent that the managers expect a crowd of 20,000 spectators. Bert Crowhurst has been agreed upon as the referee. —New York Sun. August 5, 1910 Y. M.

August 2- Two strong addresses, racial in character, and delivered by distinctly racial individuals have proven to be the strongest catures of the past week a work at the National Religious Traint in School and Chautauqua during the past week "What's the Matter with Sambo," the highly humorous but instructive address delivered by the Rev. Dr C S Morris, of New York, and the Rev. Dr. Carl Newark, of Philadelphia, on "Paul Laurence Dunbar, the Negro Poet" drawing perhaps more appreciation from the critical audience that faces the speaker in Avery Auditorium. Dr. Morris took occasion in his address to give some more or less valuable advice to the Negroes in the South with reference to their life and conduct down here while Mr. Alexander, by reason of his wide experience as a man of letters and partly because of an intimate acquaintance with Dunbar was able to give his hearers many hitherto unapproached angles with reference to the dead poet's character, and opened up many scenes of beauty with reference to his life and work. Francis A Clark, lp the meantime, has developed some kind of reputation as a speaker, and for one hour, delightfully filled in an interrupted program with an impromptu "History of Music," which more than proved him to be a master of the art he loves so well. Another announcement of significance with reference to the future of the work of the training school is the one concerning the future activities of the well known T. P. Smith, at present president and manager of Smith's Business College, Lynchburg, Va. Prof. Smith at his school in Lynchburg has turned out perhaps more stochographers and bookkeeper than any other one agent in the South, and for the summer chauautqua has had charge of the commercial work, which includes banking, insurance, typowriting, shorthand and bookkeeping. He will give up his work at Lynchburg at the beginning of the season, and will be a permanent fixture on the faculty of the National Religious Training School. President James E.

Alleged Murderer and Map of Ocean Pursuit PURCARLIE, MASTER OF THE CITY OF LYBERPOOL WILLIAMS STATION LYBERPOOL HURDUSRY JULIEBOT CRIPPEN READY TO RETURN Murder Suspect Will Make No Trouble. Ethel Leneve is too ill to Appear if Court, and Was Sent to a Hospital—Relatives Urge Her to Tell All Dr Hawley H Crippen who with Ethel Clara Leneve, was arrested on the steamer Montrose announced in Quebec, Canada that he would not resist extradition to England to stand trial for the murder of a woman believed to be the missing wife, Belle Moore Crippen was remanded for fifteen days. At the expiration of that time he will be sent back to England, unless in the magazine he decides to fight extradition Crippen's companion in flight was to have been arrested, but her custodians reported to the court that she was too ill to appear The authorities are confident that the woman will give no more trouble than Crippon promises to, and that as soon as the fifteen days of grace provided by the extradition laws of Canada have expired both prisoners can be returned to London without any bitch. When Crippon and the girl were arrested on board the incoming steamer Montrose they were charged with an identical crime, the murder and mutilation of an unknown woman. It had been expected that both would be arraigned at once and deported upon the steamer Royal George that will sell for England Thursday. However Dew the Scotland Yard inspector required instructions which changed the program. The English officials do not wish anything done that would give the appearance of trailing the prisoners. They wish the formalities of extradition followed to the letter, so that the prisoners shall not escape through any technicalities of the law. Clark Leneve was transferred from the Provincial jail to a hospital. The girl scarcely has been able to stand since her collapse when she was taken into custody. Her condition has exited much sympathy and the jail keepers suggested to the court that she be sent to a hospital where she could receive medical attention, of which she is plainly in need. The court granted the request and went further in making known its intention to send an official to the hospital to take her answers to the same formal question that were asked of Crippen in open court. This will spare the woman the shock of appearing in court, and under the circumstances it is deemed adveniable not to aggravate the strain under which she is already suffering. The girl's family in London appears to be doing all in their power to aid her add at the same time to promote the cause of justice. During the day she received three cablegrams from her relatives. One of these messages urged her to tell everything and another besought her to remember her own family, not matter how great might be her love for Crippen. Dr. Hawley H. Crippen and his typist, Ethel Clara Loneve, attired in boy's clothes, were arrested by Canadian police on board the Inner Montrose off Father Point, Quebec, being charged with the murder of the physician's wife, Holle Blimore Crippen, the flesh of whose body was found buried in quicktime in the cellar of their London home. Dr. Crippen took his arrest quietly. "I am the man," he said, when approached by Chief McCarthy and Chief Dennals, of the Dominion police, and being pointed out as the fugitive by Inspector Dew, of Scotland Yard. Miss Loneve was found in her stateroom, dressed as a boy and badly frightened. She collapsed utterly when placed under arrest, becoming hysterical, she was given in charge of --- a physician, who will remain at her bodisie. It is reported that Dr Crippen admitted knowledge of his wife's tragic death, but how far his confession went is not disclosed Miss Lenove dented having any connection with the crime. A quantity of jewelry was found in her stateroom. Belle Elmore owned many diamonds which were not found in the London home The arrest was made in full view of Dr Crippen's fellow passengers He made no resistance Dr Crippen attired to a great deal was on deck. Inspector Dew recognized him and at a nod the officers placed him under arrest They then proceeded to Miss Len eves cabin, where she was found attired in boy's clothes. She also was taken into custody Immediately a simple signal previously arranged was sent out by wireless from the Montrose and in a few seconds the wireless was carrying the news of the arrest to all parts of the United States and Canada and over the seas to England where the out come of Inspector Dow's trip was awaited with the greatest anxiety 14 BURNED BY VITRIOL Ten Children Fearfully Injured, and Men Who Tried to Rescue Them Also Badly Hurt. Fourteen persons ten children and four men were terribly burned by violence through the upsetting of a supply wagon of the burial of fire at Flight 801st street and Ridge avenue Philadelphia Iphone of the man Richard Greer of N.S. North Hutchin son street a fireman, and all of the children were riding on the wagon when the accident took place. The three others were burned in their forms at rescuers. Of the injured children two died at St. Joseph's hospital where all fourteen persons were taken. It is probable that all will be marked for life by the terrible burns inflicted upon them. The dead are Catharine Daniels nine years old and Raymond Dager seven years old. Three of the supplied a men who went to the house of the children and we gave him about the hands arms and test. Great is the latter of five of the children whom he had obliged to ride with him while delivering supplies of the chemical to the various engine houses. It was spilled over the children when the wheel came off the wagon and sent children and car boys and stirred into the street together. Great left the supply house with his wagon loaded up with four ten gallon glass carboys five five gallon cans and a barrel of the chemical. On his way up to distribute it among the engine houses of the northwestern section of the city he stopped at his home. Children of the neighborhood in including his five daughters bought Grear to take them for a ride on his wagon and although it is forbidden by the rules of the bureau to allow any person but the driver on the wagon, he consented. Accordingly the ten children clamber aboard and sat wherever they could find room. Young Raymond Dager sat on the barrel and others on the wooden casings of the carbons or on the floor of the wagon. As the wagon crossed Eightteenth street the wheels became locked in the grooved trolley tracks. Grear turned the horse sharply to pull off the track and the rear axle broke. The wagon dropped with a crash and then rolled over on its side. The shock broke the glass carbons and knocked the plug from the barrel so that the flies liquid poured out in a flood. Raymond Dager was thrown from his perch on the barrel and spurt after spurt of the acid spotted from the open bungule all over his head and body. It was in this manner that he suffered the burns which caused his death The contents of the carbons quickly flooded the wagon and there was no escape for the huddled children, whose screams of agony aroused the neighborhood and could be heard for blocks (Grear was hurt backward from his seat by the shock of the wreck and directly) into the whirling pool of acid Illuded by the fluid and crushed by their pain neither nor the children seemed able to get away by leaping from the wagon Harry Coleman broke his cousin's neck in a wrestling bout and is in jail at Pittsburgh awaiting a hearing on a formal charge of murder. The cousin, Joseph Smith died after lying unconscious for ten days. The two are said to have been fast friends, but always disputing each other's prowess.

Broke Neck Wrestling KILLS DOCTOR AND SELF ON EVE OF WEDDING Woman Shoots Physician and Commits Suicide. Dr George Murray Stuart, one of the most prominent young physicians of the fashionable East Liberty district in Pittsburgh was found shot dead in his apartments at 504 Penn avenue. Boulda him lay the body of Elean Wallace, a middle aged woman. A shot through her right temple was apparently inflicted after she had shot and killed the doctor. A revolver lying by the woman's side strengthens the police in this theory. The double killing occurred almost on the eve of Dr Stuart's marriage to a Virginia society woman. Elean Wallace was the proprietress of a resort at 322 Lambert street and the police believe that jealousy of the doctor's approaching marriage prompted the double tragedy. The marriage was to take place August 11. The woman's body was removed to the courge and that of the young physician was turned over to an undertaker. Both bodies were found in bed. The police believe the shooting occurred late Saturday night or early Monday morning. The discoveries of the bodies was made by Dr George W.

When the cream is from the same cows, which have been fed the same sation and milked by the same man, end when the same separator is used, the farmer naturally thinks the per cent of fat in the cream should remain the same. Errors are often made in making tests especially in taking the sample, but variations constantly occur that are due to other causes. The most common causes of these variations as pointed out in a circular by Prof H Eckles of the Missouri Agricultural Experiment station, Columbia, Mo. are as follows 1 Variations in the speed of the separator 2 Variation in temperature of milk separated 3. Rate the milk flows into the m chine 4 Amount of water or skim milk used in fushing out the bowl 5 Change in the richness of the milk separated 6 Adjustment of the cream screw Change in the speed of the separator is the most common cause of variation. The greater the speed of the separator the smaller the amount of cream and the higher the per cent of fat. Again, the temperature of the milk separated varies on the farm from day to day If cream tests 30 per cent when the milk is separated at 90 degrees, it may test as high as 40 per cent, when separated at 70 degrees Under average conditions on the farm, however, the variation in fat due to change of temperature will not amount to more than three to four per cent. A third cause of variation is found in the rate at which the milk flows into the machine. If less than the regular quantity flows into the bowl, the tendency is to increase the per cent of fat in the cream The richness of the milk separated affects the richness but not the quantity of cream. The richness of a cow's milk depends on inheritance and cannot be changed permanently by feed. Small variations are likely to occur from the other causes suggested. By the use of an ordinary labhook testing machine and by measuring the sample of cream into the test bottle with the same pipette as is used for measuring milk, any farmer can make a test of his cream that will satisfy him as to the accuracy of the test he receives from the cream buyer. BUILDING AN OCTAGON SILO Detailed Instructions and Illustration for Erecting Tank That Will Last for Many Years. We should consider it a mistake to build an octagon silo when it is easier and better to build a round one. The octagon silo has no advantages over the round. If it is desirable to build the octagon structure as suggested, says Hoard's Dalryman, in reply to a query, we should advise setting 2 by 5 on a circular foundation which extends at least six feet into the ground Cement Beech BEVELED SPACE Filled WITH CEMENT BEVELED LATH End View. and two feet above. Place the 2 by 4's 16 inches apart, sheet on the inside with good matched lumber then put on silo paper and cover with matched lumber. The outside of the 2 by 4's can be covered with paper and shooting. This will make a very serviceable silo and one that will last for many years. To us the better plan would be to line the inside of the silo with a coating of cement. Instead of putting on the second lining of sheeting and paper, bevel lath may be used, and then cover with cement, making the coating about one inch or one and one-half inches thick. The accompanying illustration shows the half-inch board which is nailed to the 2 by 4's, and they may be any width; the beveled lath and how the cement is put over them. Rest is not silence and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day listening to the murmur of the water and watching the clouds float across the sky is by no means waste of time. Lord Averyb ECONOMY IN COOLING MILK Tank. With Two Compartments, Allowing Water to Flow From One to Other, Is Used We have plenty of water on our farm and have always been able to keep our milk sweet for a long time, writes C V Petheran of Nebraska, in Farm and Home. We use a tank similar to the one in the drawing. There are two compartments to the tank that are connected at the bottom. The water comes from the well into the first apartment and from there it must go through the opening at the Milk Cooler. bottom of the partition into the apart mont where the can of milk are. This keeps the water fresh in the tank and less fresh water is required to keep the milk in good condition. If it were not for the fact that water is forced to go to the bottom of the tank to order to circulate it would be pumped in at one and run off at the other while the water in the bot tom would remain almost stationary.

DAIRY NOTES Pure water is necessary on the dairy farm. It is fast becoming so that a separator is almost as much of a necessity on the farm as the churn To a very considerable extent the way in which the cream is ripened controls the flavor of the butter Cream or milk when kept at a low temperature for some time develops a somewhat bitter flavor You should not only know how much each cow produces but how much it costs to do the producing The returns received from the cow should determine the economy and profit there may be in keeping her A quart of milk by actual chemical analysis is said to possess as much nutritive value as a pound of beef steak Oatmeal contains 32 per cent, protein consequently it is good for milch cows, but should not be fed too liberally Milk at a stated hour both morning and evening and keep everything about the stable and the dairy clean and fresh. Good pasture is the most economical milk feed that a cow can have and when pastures are short, green soiling comes next. Keep the cows comfortable at night and when the weather is cold and wet. In daytime, if they have pasture and good water they can care for themselves. As milk readily absorbs odors, don't set your milk pans where food is kept. The richest milk is the last that leaves the udder. He sure that the cows are milked clean. The Pennsylvania experiment station has discovered that rye meal as a part of properly balanced ration for dairy cows is sufficient in milk and butter production to an equal weight of corn meal. Experiments at Cornell experiment farm showed that while cows which were fed grain while on good pasture gave more milk than those which had pasture alone, the increased quantity of milk was not produced at a profit. Milkera Neat and Clean Those who do milking should be neat and clean in person. Before milking they should wash their hands with soap and they should thoroughly dry them. The finger nails should always be clean. As little dust as possible should be attired up. Dust from molly hay will float around and fall into the milk. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

But when his displeasure "saw it, they reuked them the mothers They probably thought that Jesus might not to stop his important teachings merely to bless a few children But Jesus moved with indignation (Mark 10:14) because they so misunderstood his character and his work as to blind any who wished to come to him especially children, the hope of the church and the mothers, the boat workers for his kingdom, called them unto him (Luke), taking the children in his arms and blessing them (Mark).

And then Jesus made him the greatest eat possible offer greater than the emperor could have bestowed upon him, greater than he could conceive unless he could have seen the vision of the gospel's triumph and of Jesus the King of kings and Lord of lords in a redeemed world. That offer was, "Come and follow, me." Come to Jesus, to his character and person, to join the company of the apostles who were to carry on the kingdom of God in the world. He might be the business man of the apostles in the place of Judas who had fallen. There was a need and a place for just such a man.

Woman Who Invests In This Style of Summer Headgear Gets Good Value for Her Money. In spite of all the jokes concerning the fragile quality and fleeting styles of our military, there are certain varieties of hats that are as staple as flour and more lasting than any of the head coverings affected by men, (exc for the panama) The woman who invests in a good leghorn hat may depend upon it to do service for many a season and the same is true of panamas and of those hats of embroidery and lace which are classed as "lingerie" hats. Take the leghorn for example. One of these, in a good quality, may do service for six seasons. In the hands of a professional milliner, or of the clever house milliner, it may be remodeled from year to year and remain a thing of beauty and a joy for mid-summer. The leghorn is a mid-summer hat, like the lingerie and the panama, it is not to be brought out before the arrival of hot weather and it flourishes until the first frost, when its career, for a season is over. Its trimming are then to be carefully removed, the shape smoothed and restored and put away in a paper bag where it will be out of reach of the dust and not crushed in any way. Fig 1 shows a leghorn "flat" in the A simple and original shape in which these hats are usually bought. For its first season the brim is wired near the edge with a silk-covered wire matching it in color and new with hidden slippitches to the under brim. A wreath of flowers and bows of velvet, or other ribbon make up its trimming or orchid plumes may be used in the same wreath effect. There hasn't been a time within the memory of woman when such a hat was unfashionable. When fashion decrees that crowns must be large or brims droopy—a crown of another brim, or one of flowers, lace, not or ribbon answers H. the demand of the fickle goddess. The brim may be accured with soap suds, using a bland soap, pulled and rowed into the fashionable droop. Such a hat is shown in Fig 2 with a crown of transparent braid sewed on over the original crown. A full wreath of lovely corn flowers with a velvet ribbon bow at the back, in the same color as the flowers, completes the design. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Usage for Sawduat.

JURGEN'S SON, ADAMS AND BROAD SPIRITS The Fight in The Desert. Some Observations Upon the Personal Encounter of Mr. Jeffries With Mr. Johnson. BY ARTHUR RUHL The battle about which whole wood-pulp libraries have been written ten during the past few months is over, and the great Jeffries myth has vanished into the bright Navada sunshine As Mr Jeffries himself and innumerable experts had stated repeatedly that the one-time champion was never fitter in his life, one novice hesitates to dim the luster or his rival's achievement by concluding that he didn't "come back". Nevertheless, the fact remains, whether or not the result was due to Mr Johnson's admittably exquisite technique or to his possession of that divine fire of youth which once lost is never found again, that in the fifteenth round the "hope of the white race" with his crouch and his glare and all his hairy brown bulk, hung over the ropes by his knees in a position quite primordial enough to satisfy even the red blood novelists who have written so eloquently of late in the sporting pages of noil-lithic men and the jungle-born. And above him, with the superb muscles of that terrifying left arm and shoulder taut and trembling to continue the battle if need be stood the black man, Johnson - LAD Artha, with his queer flat-footed shuffle that only masked the quickness of a cat Lil' Artha' of the bass-viol and the crap-shooting and the half puzzled pleading rather wistful smile the undoubted champion As a mere fight this battle for the greatest purse that two boxers ever fought for was I suppose, a pretty sad affair but as an event, a drama of temperaments an example of the phenomena possible in this year of grace 1910, it was as strange and as wildly romantic as any one could desire. FROM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD I have just sold good night to a man who was jumping on an overland train from which he will just have time to catch the steamer at New York and so deliver with his own hands a few precious photographs to his London paper. The man who sat next to me at the ringside and dictated the story of each round as it was fought, directly into his New York office, lost his wire somewhere in the neighborhood of Omaha just after his paper had beaten every body else in town by eight minutes. Blocked but not dismayed, the story went flashing westward over the Sierra to San Francisco down to Los Angeles and eastward by the southern route through Yumna. It went astray there a little later, and he had to swing it round to New York by way of Butte and St Paul, and we could hear, as we sat there, code calls reaching for it from cities all over the West. From the railroad yards, as I am writing this, comes the clanking of dozens of locomotive bells and the flash of their searchlights as the fight specials switch onto the through tracks. Three hundred correspondents, enough to cover any war, ancient or modern, are writing as fast as typewriters can be pounded, and something over half a million words—to be relayed later into many million more—are clicking out over the Reno wires. They are saying that this will be the last of the heavyweight prize fights. They say much the same thing since they were years ago: "we civilized people? Will foreigners believe that it is possible that the first nation in Europe can be so barbarous? Of what use are our numerous Christian and benevolent institutions?" I ran across it in an English magazine the other day, one published in 1834. It might be asked with, some pernience whether a civilization which compels helpless children and fragile girls to lead the life they do in factories and shops today need worry itself very pleasing over the brutality of permitting two perfectly made and perfectly trained bruslers to pick up a fortune in a few minutes by pummeling each other until one or the other gives in. If it is to be the end of prize-fighting, one can't help wondering what the old worthies of the days when the prize-ring was a British institution of solid respectable regime would think could they have been in Retro during the past two days. Nearly a hundred years ago, when that famous old brusser Jack Randall, the prime Irish lad, linked in his public house, the Hotel in the Wall, instead of answering a challenge, it was Mr. Tom Moore, the poet, who addressed him in these lines. "Come, Randall, my dear, come, the hodmen entreat thee, so idle no longer in 'Chancery Lane.' Lane. Shall the Baker outwrite thee who never could beat thee? Come up with thy beaver, my jewel again. What would sweet-voiced Tom Moore, who sang to bruisers in playful verse in a day when they really fought like cave-men, think of our distinguished novelties and their solemn honking about elemental men and abysmal brutes in a day when people really rather dislike, as a rule to see each other pounded up? Or suppose Haslitt could have gone out to Rono on one of the night specialists just as he rode down from London in 1862 on the Bath Mall behind Tom Turtle, the trainer and the invalid gentleman, to see Bill Natee night the Gas Man, all of which is set down in one of his most genial and engaging essays. A KELIC OF HEROIC DAYS. That was in the days when the "noble English sport of boxing" was in its prime, when the sporting prints which we so fastidiously collect nowadays were being made, when even the King—at least old George IV—had his man at the ringside to run back as fast as ever he could with news of the result, when the challenger cast his hat into the ring before he stripped, and the men sat on their bottle-holders' knees between rounds and fought with bare fats on a little circle of green turf enclosed by carts and gigs before the swells in their white box conts and the admiring fancy They were fights then, going to an incredible number of rounds. Men wrestled as well as boxed, and grabbed each other by the hair with one hand and hammered with the other and hurled each other to censure. They were both yelled at, and bloody only to rise magically in a moment and go to it again. Our own John L.—Yours truly John L., always on the level is about the only relic we have of those days. The fight he won from Jake Kilrain in 1889 was the last championship under the old London prizing rules. And as he drifted through the crowd at Reno, with his little gray cap above his big warrior's mustache and once terrifying eyes and his top-heavy body awaying above his tight trousers legs with a black band of braid down the side, as he shook hands like an absurd minded old mastiff with who never tried to shake with him, growing bushy. How are you?" asked to him his name? "Are you an undefended champion a role of the time when, as Mr. Billy Dilany rather sentiently remarked the night before the fight it was just a case of brush off the snow strip to the buff double up your bare fists and to go to it." I wonder what simple old gladiator of the pre-Sullivanite days Randall or Tom Cribb Sayers Hoven the Titon Slasher, or Jim Belcher the Pet of the Fancy—would have thought of a purse of $121,000 and moving-picture royalties, vaudeville engagements, and so on which meant to the winner. If the white man had won, something over half a million dollars? Of wine agents and war correspondents, and all the curious, top heavy accessories which surrounded this argument between two not particularly indispensable citizens? Every night for a week before the fight between 100,000 and 150,000 words—two popular novels to be doubled many times before they reached the newspapers to which they were telegraphed—went out to the world from Reno. THE HORDE OF SPECIAL WRITERS. In addition to the regular war correspondents, most of the prize-fighters temporarily disengaged from the practice of their profession were also writing daily critiques for the papers. Some, to be sure merely contributed the color of their signature and photographs while weary but more articulate reporters did the actual work, but there was at least one shining exception and the sight of Mr. Battling Nelson, with his cannonflower ears growing redder and redder as he struggled nightly in the intricacies of the literary art with the public stenographer in the crowded lobby of the Hotel Golden, was one of the fight's most fascinating pictures. And this had been going on more or less similarly not only for days but for months. Several newspapers had regular office headquarters, as at a political convention. One San Francisco paper had fourteen fabulously paid Special writers, including two red blood novelists one of whom was accompanied by a manager at least if not by a trainer, and all trying to say each day the same thing in fourteen different ways. One of its rivals, not to be outdistanced, threw its papers off the train and into an automobile on the west side of the Sierra and shot through the night over Nevada and to Reno two hours ahead of the train. These two newspaper automobiles raced over the same course, and after that another paper loaded its papers into an automobile as they fell from the presses in San Francisco at two o'clock in the morning. New clear acroses California and over the mountains, and arrived in Reno the next afternoon considerably ahead of the train. There were correspondents from Lyddu and Australia, and even M. Dupuy, of the Paris "Figaro," trawled across those American deserts mysterious and immeasurable, "to deserve M. Jeff and M Jack Johnson make the box." One overland train, white with alkali dust, would pull in with Big Tim Sullivan of New York or Charlie Millett of Mullen Contre, Iowa, and his friend Bill Another, would come in from the West and out would stop a little band of Australians, speaking a qualit, modified cockney of the colonies. And fighters wore so thick that as you pushed through the mob in front of the Golden, with the faro chips and roulette "wheels clicking in Jim Mey's and the Farnerlike bellowing of the megaphone hitting the street with betting odds, you always looked first at each man's left ear to see whether it was lopped over and grown together like an oyster or the ear of the ordinary non-fighting man No one who was not there can easily understand what a curiously ontralling drama a simple fight can be made into when thus isolated in a quiet little desert city and analyzed, colored, and vitalized by the nervous intelligence of two or three hundred keen "and imaginative men with nothing else to do. All the raw material was there. They only headed to be made interesting. On the chin band was this brown Colossus of a white man, not a fight, or in the "scrappy" sense of the word rather a sort of grimly bear, bored by people and photographers and noise, and much preferring to bury himself in the mountains and fish. He didn't want to fight again. Public clamor made him. And yet you had but to look at that vast hairy body, those legs like trees, the long projection, deep-set, scowling eyes, and wide, thin, cruel mouth, to know that here was an animal who would stand up and give battle as long as it could see, whom cleverness could not ruffle, nor blows dismay. close to Murphy's car—for the latter seemed to know eater is hard of hearing now—"Tortoise!" going on in and out rather a sort of grimly bear, bored by people and photographers and noise, and much preferring to bury himself in the mountains and fish.

A MIRAGE FOR T The rest is an ode of excellent shoulders inquiringly, and the big man "bites" as I had enjoyed the sad pleasure of glaring stubbornly seeing him hit the Harvard line, he good eye, bored A CAGED BEAR There was nothing wistine about Jeffries. He was as surly and ugly as a caged bear. He would ride just on a country road. Pouring alone from a fishing trip crouched in the rear seat of his automobile, swarthy, glowering chewing gum, and never so much as notice your greeting by the flicker of an eyelid. After the machine had stopped at the gate of his training quarters and a crowd of harmoniously demented admirers had gathered about it, he would sometimes sit there without moving for five or ten minutes, still glowering straight ahead, chewing gum and seeing only, as it seemed the vision of his black rivals coming to meet him across the ring. There was something peculiarly sinister in this statistic ferocity and he did not lessen the impression when he climbed down at last and walked slowly away seeing no one, with his huge right arm, partly contracted and slowly sawing the air as if aimed for a blow. "It's John Ridd," said Mike Murphy to me one day. You've read Lorna Doone. He's another John Ridd." Lil Artha "Johnson the negro, was as different as could be. About twenty pounds lighter than Joffries, with a rather lathly underbody and super shoulers and arms, he was as smooth and sleek and supple as a seal just coming out of the water. Lighthearted humorous witty even as he showed even during the thick of the battle when any one ventured to engage him in reprieve he had the good sense or cleverness to keep the respectful ingrigating ways of the Southern darker. He was quiet well-mannered in what he said of his opponent and indeed not without an almost win some charm. In the ring he at once became fascinating. There was mystery in that slow that-footed shuffle in the way his gloves moving slowly about his opponent's bloes turned like light, ninger either to block a lead or shoot in a blow. With seemingly indolent grace and his drowsy smile, he would stand up before George Cotton, his big black sparring partner, and catch and turn aside a rain of blows as easily as a big brother might play peace-porridge-hot with his little sister. Once during the fight, when Jeffries started a left swing for the wind that looked enough to fell an ox, the naughtog it in just the same way, and Jeffries a arm stopped as his bleeps met the black man's right as neatly as if it were a ball settling into the catcher's glove. THE IMPULSE OF TRADITIONS. But what it was thought he didn't have, and this is what made the fight between the mature thinking white man and the light-hearted, seemingly careless negro most interesting was that dogged courage and intellectual initiative which is the white man's inheritance. For in any supreme effort there comes a moment when cleverness and technique count for nothing and the issue is decided by that something which goes down through panting lenges and boasting heart and straining muscles and calls for the very core and soul of the man. And it is here other things being equal that a negro is always at a disadvantage. He has no traditions behind him. He stands alone. The white man has thirty centuries of traditions behind him all the supreme efforts, the inventions and the conquests and whether he knows it or not Bunker Hill and Thermopylae and Hastings. Agnus You should have seen Mr. Mike Murphy throw back his head close one eye light shut, and with just a crack showing in the other like the eye of some curious withered, who old bird, and with the insight gained from training generations of runners and football men go straight to the heart of things in his caressing, half-quizical draw! He didn't believe even when the talk was wildest, that Jeffries could come back 'No man ever did' he would say, and no man ever will. There are three things you can't beat nature instinct and death." FIGHTING WITH THE MIND He thought the negro ought to win. He had the strength and skill yet he couldn't quite make himself sure of that seemingly vague good humour will "Mind!" he said to me one day squinting through the half-open eye and tapping his temple with one finger. "It's all mind. If you go into a contest with your mind right you've got the other man beaten all ready. And that negro." he waved his hands vaguely "hoose" No concentration if he don't wake up, he might knock out in the first round Look at Jeffries. He's going into a fight Temperament, that's the whole thing. Give me eleven men and time enough and I'll put into their hearts the idea that they are going to win and you can't heat 'em. That's what training is. Roosevelt would make a good trainer" "Hit!" he cackled, "that's the way we used to heat Harvard—we had 'em beaten when we came onto the field." He tapped his chest mysteriously "Here." Here was a man of imagination and parts in the contagious bite and snap of his words was the very mysticism and poetry of fighting. On the Saturday before the flight, Mr. Tom Shevlin, who used to do terrific things to the Harvard line, now a glittering lumber king or something of the sort, came to cast his practised eye over the warriors. As the three of us rode back to town together, the old trainer tapped his head and murmured the one word, "Bad!" Mr. Shevlin put his mouth close to Murphy's car—for the latter is hard of hearing now—"Totally" he shouted. "No concentration. He's going up against a locomotive for two hours, and he don't know it. I want to see a man worried. I want by himself and not want to talk to people. When I played football" he tapped his dye-colored waistcoat—"All gone here. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. Took two months to get myigestion back after the season was over. But when I went out into the field" Mr. Shevlin lifted his excellent shoulders inquiringly, and as I had enjoyed the and pleasure of seeing him hit the Harvard line he needed to say no more. "Good heavens, that man's going into a battle, and he don't know it yet." RFNO OR BUST Well no ride with! Tom Turtle on top a stage-coach through the finest English country in the snappest fall weather could have been more grounldid and exciting than the morning of the fight. The day down, of spotlessly clear, one of those still crystalline mornings which come in the thin dry air of the mountain desert country. The town was jammed Miles, it seemed of dusty Pullmans stretched down the trucks, above their dining car roofs the blue smoke of the breakfast area. From cast and west other trains kept quarrying in and dustier kill and honking gaily as they came touring cars with ragged signs of Rino or Bust. There were Indians Chihuahua Illinois New York wine agents, and other queer fish but above all it was a man's crowd of husks men, in high spirits talking at a great rate and in the liveliest of humor, about the difficulties of getting breakfast getting a shave and about the prospects of the fight. You must imagine a bright green little oasis, ten or fifteen miles across set in a sort of dish of bare enclosing mountains, brown mountains with patches of yellow and olive green and exquisite vells of mansue and amethyst and at their tops blazing white through the clear air patches of austere snow in the center of all this a great pine bear-pit had been raised, glaring white and hot in the blazing desert sun, and into this at 1 30 o'clock that afternoon 20,000 men were crowded with their eyes fixed on a little roped square in the center The betting was 10 to 6 or 7 on Jeffries and the talk about 1000 to 1. You couldn't hurt him - Fitzsimmons had landed enough times to kill an ordinary man in the first few rounds, and Jeffries had only shaken his head like a bull and bored in. The negro might be a clever boxer, but he has never been up against a real fighter before. he had a yellow streak there was nothing to it and anyway let a hope he kills the coon." A SCOWLING BROWN COLOSSUS That was about the mental atmosphere as Lil' Artha wrapped in a dressing gown and smiling his half puzzled, rather pleading smile, climbed into the ring Old Billy Jordan who has been an amateur fight for fifty years or so was just introducing the negro to the buzzing hostile audience, when Jeffries with a cloud of seconds and camp followers behind him, climbed through the ropes. I had a seat at the ringside directly opposite him and I can unmistakably state that I have never seen a human being more calculated to strike terror into an opponent's heart than this sowling brown Cotusus as he came through the ropes stamped like a bull pawing the ground before his charge and chewing gum rapidly glared at the black man across the ring. If looks could have thwarted burned, and torn to pieces Mr Jack Arthur Johnson would have dispaired that instant into a few specks of inanimate dust. The negro had his back turned at the moment, as he was being presented to the crowd on the opposite side. He did not turn round, and as he took his car nor and his trainer and seconds crowding in front of him concealed the white man a sort of host wolf lish and rather terrible up from the crowd. "He darsen't look at him" Oo-o! Don't let him see him! Don't let him see him! And when Jeffries pulled off his clothes with a vicious jerk and standing erect and throwing out his chest jabbed his great arms above his head once or twice. I don't suppose that one man in a hundred in that crowd would have given two cents for the negro's chances. Nor did many suspect until Johnson's left shot across to the white man a right eye in the sixth round and closed it so strong and convincing was the Jeffries tradition, the contagion of the atmosphere and that crouching, scowling gladiator--that the negro's finish was anything but a matter of time. They had all seen or heard of that short, rather slow piston-rod-like punch which the white man knew how to send with a tremendous, if not spectacular, force into his opponent's side just under the lower right ribs. They saw him send it in time and again apparently, and each time the crowd gave a sort of subdued, exultant grunt. When Johnson merely smiled his far away smile, people supposed he must be shamming and when them uppercuts of his shot up like lighting, they thought it was merely pretty, but didn't hurt. When that blow got across in the sixth round, however, the cynicism of the white man's glare suddenly went dead and changed. His right eye blackened and closed, and the blood began to run down from his right nostril. He was fighting after that not to finish his opponent, but to save himself, to stave off what he probably know, if the crowd did not yet suspect, nothing but chance could save him from. Mr. Jim Corbett, who, as Jeffries' second and following the quiet sportmanship of the ring, had gone across to the corner nearest the nego between each of the earlier rounds to fix him with a sneering eye and witty taunt and terrify him, lost his bright vauduelle amile. Once, when he called out to Johnson during a round, the negro, laughing across Jeffries' shoulder, gave him as good as he sent. Once a man far up in the seats called down to Johnson, "Why don't you smile now?" and the negro, who seemed to know everything that was going on in and out of the ring without at any time paying close attention, deliberately turned his head and smiled. He looked fierce occasionally, but that was only when he feinted When something real and dangerous was to be done, he was apparently dreaming placidly as the flowers of May A MIRAGE FOR THE MULTITUDE The rest is an old story now - how the big man/black beaten but glaring stubbornly out of his one good eye, bored steadily in as the bull charges the matador toward the end of his fight how suddenly, the main drama about which had gathered such a curiously modern and top-heavy mountain of accessories, rushed to its swift and unexpected conclusion in the thirteenth round the crafty black turned loose for a moment, and it was all over then but the shouting In the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds however the old champion can touch back groggy but willing in the fifteenth there was a quick to the point trooplike legs laughed in and the great hairs brown bulk, which had never been knocked down before nor beaten, sank close to the ropes. The crowd didn't cheer. It rose and stood and stared, as if the solid ground beneath it were turning to a mirage. At the count of nine Jeffries got to his feet only to be sent back again this time between the ropes. His camp followers, forgetting themselves in the desperation of the moment pushed him to his foot but it was only to stagger across the ring and go down again, and I for the last time on the other side. They lifted the fallen idol and slapped his big shoulders and bed him away men rushed down and hopped over the sputtering telegraph instruments to cut the ropes and floor canvas into souvenirs and Mr Jack Arthur Johnson with only a slightly cut tip rock back to camp in his automobile with a harder road ahead of him than any he ever yet has travelled the glided begging pathway of him who is not climbing but has arrived THE AFTER EFFECT The white race whose supremacy this contest was going to establish must naturally, have been as dead as the Aztecs or the Lucas, but the representatives of it in Reno seemed to battle their way into the overflowing restaurants tonight with their usual interest to smoke their black cigars with their customary zest, and gaze out at the pink and lavender lights turning to purple and ashes in the distant mountains with the usual air of equanimity. They reasoned I believe, that there hadn't been any flight, that Jet fries was only a shell of a man and it wasn't certain that they were conceived that he even had any arms. That was all very well after the event and for those who forget how things stood when the battle opened. But any one who happened to see from Johnson's corner the face of Jim Jeffries as he climbed into the ring and fell to the focused mind and heard the taunts and jerks of the hostile crowd knows that it took something more than boating skill for that black man to go out and meet his fate, that he had concentration right enough if it didn't show on the outside, and stood on his own feet and thought for himself and fought and vanquished a brave opponent cleanly and like a brave man.

GIFT NOTES SENT EARLY Bride Now Acknowledges Wedding Gifts Immediately Instead of Waiting Until After the Ceremony. It is now customary for a bride to send a note of thanks as soon as she receives a gift instead of waiting until after the wedding and honeymoon to acknowledge it. In this way all but the last minute presents are acknowledged before the wedding though a person who has waited until the last day to send his gift cannot expect it to be acknowledged till the bride is settled in her new home. Fow brides realize the importance of their gift notes. If sent to strangers, as many of them are, the acknowledgment of a present may preface the sender for or against the writer. Whether she spontaneously or merely as a matter of form a gift stands for a kindness it therefore demands a gracious response, in the first person Do not gauge your gratitude according to value of gift or what you deem should have been its value. Often the slimest bit of home needlework stands for more love and real interest than the nuhagany highboy or massive Sheffield tray. To send gushing thanks for the latter and an indifferent little note for the first is the height of vulgarity. Never write a gift note in third person nor on your visiting card. The appearance of a note is important.

This new dessert occurred to me one day when arranging to entertain guests at dinner. To four tablespoonfuls of powdered tapioca I added half a cupful of cold water letting the two stand undisturbed for about an hour. I then added four tablespoonfuls of sugar and one and a half cupful of boiling water and cooked the mixture until the tapioca had become clear. At this point I added half a cupful of the stirp from a jar of preserved ginger and a quarter of a cupful of ginger itself, first putting it into small pieces. When nearly cold the result was poured into sheeret glasses and before being served was piled high with whipped cream that had previously been flavored with vanilla. The quantity given will fill six glasses. Richmond, Va. PRICE, Embalmer and Liveryman. It short notice by telegraph or telegrams and nice entertainments. Larry conveniences.
