RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXVIII, NO. 29. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1911. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. LAST WEEK'S DISCLOSURES CREATE PROFOUND IMPRESSION. THE TRUE REFORMERS THOROUGHLY AROUSED. LAWYER NEWSOME'S CONTEN- TION. It is at this point that General Counsel Newsome sets up the plan that the Grand Fountain officials exceeded their authority in becoming responsible and pledging the property of the Grand Fountain or the bank, which property was the meeting place of the subordinate fountains in order to guarantee the payment of bonsa presumed to have been floated to raise money for private corporations. The following from the court records will explain themselves: Virginia: In the Chancery Court of the City of Richmond. The Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, which sues, etc. va. The Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers of Virginia. The undersigned receivers of the court in the above cause beg leave to report as follows: That there is a certain lot or parcel of land, with the improvements thereon, known as True Reformers' Hall, situated on Fifth Street, between Jackson and Polk streets, in the city of Lynchburg, Va. which was conveyed to W. W. Browne and R. F. Robinson, trustees for the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers. While this property was conveyed to trustees for the Grand Fountain, it is really the property of the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers of Virginia. The officials at the True Reformers' offices on second street are not issuing any more statements. Relative to the astounding discoveries now, being made, they are silent. Grand-Worthy Secretary W. P. Burrill when questioned concerning the situation, appeared to be wholly ignorant with reference to any of the affairs of the Savings Bank, and cited as an excuse therefore that clerks and book-keepers in that concern are now making similar statements. If they did not know anything about it, then it would be abused to expect him to know when he had charge of another department of the Order's business. PECULIAR CONDITIONS. PECULIAR CONCERNS In other words, many of the True Reformer officers and clerks are now saying that it is necessary for them to read The Planet in order to get the record of the doings in the building in which they are employed. This peculiar condition of affairs is causing no end of comment. A significant phase of the situation this week is the presence here of Mr. W. R. Griffin, who is one of the leading characters, if not the leading one, in True Reformer affairs these days. He is in charge of the Washington Division of True Reformers, and is known as Chief Griffin. He, with Mr. W. H. Lewis, has been in consultation with General Counsel J. Thomas Newsome, and Mr. Griffin and Mr. Newsome have been cloaked with Commonwealth's Attorney Mr. Mintree Folkes. MR. GRIFFIN EMPHATIC Mr Griffin states plainly that unless actions, both civil and criminal are taken at once against certain individuals, the Ordo might as well disband. It is said that the visit of Mr. Griffin to Richmond at this time has caused consternation among certain individuals. General Counsel J Thomas Newsome left last Wednesday for Baltimore for the good of the Order. Many persons are coming forward in connection with the announcement in these columns of the missing notes. They are claiming that they have paid these notes. Some others are silent, while one other admitted that he had not paid the one which was there against him. ```markdown ``` SAVED THE HOMESTEAD Cashier R. T. Hill's family have succeeded in saving the palatial home at 1401 West Leigh street. It was purchased by the family for seven thousand, three hundred dollars. It seems that Mrs. Irene R. Hill gave a deed of trust to J. D. Carnal & Son April 15, 1802, and that it was under this 'deed of trust that the property was sold. Thore was another deed of trust executed to the receivers of the True Reformer's Savings Bank to secure Some shortages discovered by them while Cashier Hill was here. Mossra. William A. Moncure and Edwin M. Pilcher had to asse to it that the sale price would protect their mortgage. The deed of bargain and sale was executed June 1, 1911. MR. HILL'S SONS THE OWNERS. The Hill residence was deeded to Messra. T. A. Hill and R. T. Hill, Jr. They borrowed from the A. J. Clewning Company, or rather gave a mortgage, including principal and interest of $2,710.00 for one year. The face of the note without interest is $2,500.00. The remainder was to be paid in cash, if is presumed. Mrs. Irane R. Hill, wife of the missing cashier, Meegt R. A. Hill and R. T. Hill, Jr.; have since placed a mortgage of $2,000 on their property at 733 North Third street. Due and payable on the 8th day of January, 1911. No interest has been paid on the said bond, and the said bond with interest thereon December 6, 1911, amounts to $14,160.00. The assessed value of the said real estate is $14,500.00, and said receivers have been advised that the said real estate is worth from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars, but so far they have not been able to get a cash offer for the same for more than six thousand dollars. Walke & Mosby, real estate agents of Lynchburg, Va., stated, however, to the receivers that several persons were interested in the property, but would not come in and bid on it as they expected it to be sold at public auction, under the above mentioned deed of trust, and wished to bid at said sale. Said receivers have been notified by the Lynchburg Trust and Savings Bank, the holder of said note of Giles B. Jackson that it will be Thursday, February 2, 1911, at 11 o'clock A. M. in the directors' room of said bank, sell at public auction the said bond to satisfy the note of Giles B. Jackson. If the bond is sold for the amount of said note, the purchaser of the bond can then direct a sale of the said real estate under the deed of trust, and if the said real estate does not sell for more than a sufficient amount to pay the amount now due on the said note, the purchaser of the said bond will hold an existing debt against the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers of Virginia for more than five thousand dollars. Said receivers are of the opinion that if the property which secures the said bond should not sell for more than $8,000 it would be to the advantage of the fund under the control of the court to purchase the said bond at the sale thereof on February 2, 1911, at a sum equal to the amount due on the said note, with the costs of sale. If the said bond should sell for more than the amount of the said note, then it will be to the advantage of said receivers to bid on the said bond, as all of the money paid on account of said bond over and above the amount of said note will belong to the receivers, the bond having been issued by the said bank to the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers without consideration, as will appear in a subsequent report to be made to the court by said receivers, and was subsequently loaned to the bank by the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers for the purposes of said loan. Sold receivers now have to their credit in the Virginia Trust Company the sum of twelve thousand, two hundred and twenty-two dollars and twenty-one cents. Respectfully submitted. EDWIN M. PILCHER. WM. A. MONCURE. Receivers. January 30, 1911. In the Chancery Court of the City of Richmond, Va.

Internet at the Post Office at Richmond, VA, as second time matter Mrs. Ida Webs Barnett, one of the most brilliant ladies of color in the United States, has entered the fold of journalism again and appears as editor of the Chicago, Ill. Fellow ship Herald. The publication is in interest, and it is ably edited. We wish it success. We have received a handsomely embossed catalogue of Hotel Dale at Cape May, N J Mr E. W Dale is proprietor, and from the description and pictures it ranks with the finest equipped hostelries of its size in the country. 0 We have received the prospectus of the Western Vinegar Co., Limited, of Edmonton, Alta, Dominion of Canada. Mr. Z. W. Mitchell, of the Royal Legion Investment Co., is the loading character in the company, and the catalogue is both interesting and instructive showing as it does what a progressive citizen may do. 0 Richmond never did itself greater honor than when it permitted the erection of the statue in bronze to Joseph Bryan, one of its foremost citizens. The unveiling exercises in Monroe Park was witnessed by a throng of people of both races. Of this great Virginian, it may be truly said that he was a humanitarian. He was not confined to narrow bounds or given to local prejudices. In him the poor, regardless of race or color, sect or colligion, found a friend. It is to be hoped that his brilliant sons will follow in his fiststeps. We have noted with pleasure the erection of this monument to his memory, and we passed with a bowed head before the heroic citizen, whom this pile, of bronze represents. THE TRUE REFORMERS It has been no pleasant task allotted to us in the portrayal and exposure of the downright rascals displayed in the reports which we have given to the public in relation to the True Reformers in general and the Savings Bank in particular in this city. We have at times been besieged by persons, either directly or indirectly concerned in this monumental betrayal of the people's confidence. Then again friends of the friends of the persons directly interested have used their influence not only upon us, but upon our friends. They do not point out the difficulties and send aloft a word of warning to help the climber upwards, but they show up words of despair and language of despondency, assuring the persistent one that just above is a peak from which he will tumble and lose not only all he and his friends have gained, but his life as well. The climber may listen for a while, and if he is permeated with the proper aptit, he will become so engrossed with his work that he will not worry over the conditions existing below. Then threats of suits have been hinted and we have plodded on. Some well meaning people have said that we were injuring the Order and the race by these disclosures. Our reply has been that those who injured the Order and the race were those who stole the money and betrayed the people's confidence, and not those who exposed them. If we had argued otherwise we might as well contend that the officers of the law and the detective bureaus are the greatest enemies of the people. The trusts set up the same plea when they argued that to make them comply with the law would injure business. But as strange as it may seem some of the most impatient and radical critics have changed their tune during the last two weeks since we have published the extracts from the records of the books of the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers. We knew then and we know now that the colored people in other States had harbored the suspicion that the colored people of this community would cover up and keep from the public gaze the records of the deception of a trusting and a confiding people. We were unwilling to be a part to any such action, and time we believe has demonstrated the wisdom of our course. The only way that safe and sound colored institutions can merit public approval is to condemn those guilty of devising the people and diverting permanently to their own use the money that should be used for the benefit of the public or that part of the public that is doing business with them. The figures and information which we have published seems to be far in excess of what had been presumed to have existed by the most radical critics. We had underground information as to conditions, and we have "stuck to our text" so to speak. We are pleased to note that a last our efforts are being appreciated. Because certain white men cover up and shield the guilty of our race is no reason why we should do the same thing. If it is wrong in a white man, it is wrong in a colored one. We must prove ourselves worthy of the confidence bestowed upon us by the better class of white people, and we must do all in our power to emphasize and hold their good opinion. The shiftless, dissolute elements must be condemned, and the sharp witted thieving elements who prey upon a 'trusting and confiding people must be sent to the rear These True Reformer disclosures are stenches in the nostrils of the public. A cleaning out process is under way, and by a liberal application of legal disinfectants it may be that some good can be done. As a matter of fact, if these conditions which we have shown that specialist are to continue, it is far better that the organization and its promoters have a "mill stone tied to their necks and be drowned in the depths of the sea." We believe, though, that a positive effort will be made to remedy these conditions, and that the rigid investigation recommended by the bank's receivers will be recorded to the end that the colored business men of Richmond will breathe free and thank God that cleanliness and square dealing in colored corporations in this city will be an assured fact and that the people of the country can rest assured that no swindling enterprises can find a location here amongst us. Q THE SUPREME COURT. The recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States as delivered by Chief Justice White and ably contested by Mr. Justice Harlan has not added materially either to the reputation or to the celebrity of that august tribunal. It indicates that that body of jurists of is "earthy". Although it is plainly evident that the decision in the Standard Oil cases trims and straddles and reads into the language of the law words which do not appear there, the learned jurist, who is Chief Justice denies that any such thing has taken place. by cases of the labor leaders and readers in a decision which was squinting in its conclusions, and left the leaders out to fall, but not free from future punishment. One of the justices argued that the intent of congress must be taken into consideration, and gave this as the reason for reading into the statute laws which did not appear thoreau. And yet it is a fact that congress intended to prohibit all trusts conducted in restraint of trade. We are of the opinion that Mr. Justice Harlan is about the only jurist who is thoroughly permeated by great principles and actuated by the purest motives. The others mean well, but they are awayed by existing conditions and actuated by the political influences at work in the country. The decent yesterday of Colonel Roosevelt from Springfield, Mass., of the story that at the Baltimore meeting between himself and President Taft, he had declared his purpose of supporting the President for the nomination, did not create much of a sensation in Washington. On the contrary, it was rather to be expected as Colonel Roosevelt probably did not care to have public announcement made at this early day of plans he is formulating. There are evidences before the Baltimore meeting that some sort of an understanding had been reached between the President and Colonel Roosevelt. It was known that views of the most optimistic character have This attitude does not seem to us to comport with the dignity of that great tribunal, which at least seems to have reached the level of the present occupant of the White House, who seems to be the slave of expedition and the servant of the interests which seem now to be in control of a part of this great government of ours. A QUESTION OF WHICH RACE We have read with interest, not unmixed with amusement, the explanation now being made of the case of Mr. Frank Bloom, the Hebrew soldier, better known as Jow, who was barred from further advancement prior to President Taft's order. We have also noted with more gratification, the mischievous attitude of that "prince ofgitators, barring William Monroe Trott, who seems to be "king," in asking President Taft to apply the game rule of conduct and the same measuring hard stick to the colored privates who desire advancement and who are barred on account of their race and color. In Colonel Garrhãd's case President Taft was chargeable with a most unprecedented act. in that he meted punishment to him without a trial A reprimand is one of the most drastic punishments that can be administered to a soldier—that is when it is publicly administered. It is a kink to a fine of ten thousand dollars. Instead of ordering a court-martial or a court of inquiry, President Taft the jurist proceeded to punish an officer in the regular army for an infraction of the law for which the military rules provide no punishment. It is closely akin to a drumhead court martial. The inference is that it was done for political effect, and therefore was beneath the dignity of a stateman standing upon a pedestal of true greatness. Now here comes Dr. J. Milton Waldron, in his emphatic manner, calls his attention to the fact that this race prejudice affects colored men in the army as well as the Jews in the service President Taft does not become impatient and he does not issue an order, but he maintains a silence which is no not-league that even his messengers must be affected. He has two rules of measurement. He has two rules of conduct. One is for the white man and the other is for the black one. Hon can he square his attitude with true statesmanship or with genuine Republicanism or with his oath of office? We have been able to note among the better class or Southerners more of a disposition to mete fair play to us than we do in the "sugar-coated" elements, who talk one way and practice another. Those colored men who can see in President Taft the elements of true greatness and transcendent statesmanship would do us a favor to loan us a pair of their goggles for a few months in order that we may get accustomed to seeing as they see and that we may reach that condition of which the prophets spoke when they said that the old men would see visions and young men would dream dreams. ____0____ THE HANDICAP OF LEADERS Tho, greatest curse to our race at the present time is the swarm of "knockers," sometimes called "rookers." They constitute a brigade of "neer do well," who can only attract attention to themselves by condemning without reason or justification some man or woman who is honestly and steadfastly struggling up the paths of success to racial supremacy and financial security. They can tell from the valley below every mistaké being made by the climber and his array of supporters whose This is the heartbreaking importance of well-dignity every colored leader with honest intentions, but above they see the sunlight of God's approval and the moonlight of His Son's approving smile. We doff our Panama to "The Sage of Tuskegee," the political reference for presidential appointment of colored men in this country. Those who would have condemned Mr. Washington, had he failed should now accord him praise for, having succeeded. Law Office, 1313 E. Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia. All Business Promptly Attended To AGAINST THE PRESIDENT It is evident that ex-President Theodore Roosevelt has not forgived President William H. Taft for his alignment with those great financial interests, which regarded with disfavor the former President, when he held the folios of office. The managers of the present administration have been vainly endowing to of Oyster Bay" that he would have no hesitation in coming out in favor of the renunciation and election of the present occupant of the White House. To this end an inspired communication was given out to the press associations of the country. It read as follows: President Taft in his candidacy for the presidential nomination in 1912, will receive the unqualified endorsement of former President Theodore Roosevelt, which will be uttered just as cordially as it was prior to the campaign of 1908. This is the beat political news Mr. Taft has received in many months, and it comes to him in a manner that leaves no doubt as to its authenticity. The Information that Col Roosevelt vole under no circumstances, will allow his own name to be presented to the Republican National Convention was conveyed to the White House several days ago, but it did not become known publicly until last night. That Colonel Roosevelt feels that the Taft administration should be continued was brought out partly as the result of a cordial greeting between the two men in the Cardinal Gibbons jubilee in Baltimore yesterday. Whether the Roosevelt approval of Mr. Taft's candidacy will go far enough to take the former President into the campaign as an active stump speaker is problematical, but that the force of his personality will be with the President is assured This fact is not expected to prove pleasing to Republicans who have made no secret of their desire to bring Colonel Roosevelt forward as a formidable real for the 1912 nomination. Many of these Republicans no doubt will refuse to abandon hope until Colonel Roosevelt shall have announced his position, thus breaking the silence concerning the administration which he has maintained since landing in New York on his return from his African hunt. The information that Col. Roosevelt would be found aligned with the President rather than against him was brought directly to Mr Taft from Mr Roosevelt by a mutual friend high in official life who was connected with both the Roosevelt and Taft administration in a capacity that enabled him to gain and retain the confidence and warm personal friendship of both men. This sounded "nightly good" to President Taft and his anxious supporters. They were so happy in face that they seemed to be putting themselves on the back and hugging each other with joy. The Roosevelt contingent however, "got busy." They knew that if this condition of affairs existed and if the ex-President had changed his attitude with respect to the associates and policies of the present occupant of the White House he had not taken them into his confidence, and they immediately took steps to disprove this semi-official declaration which had been inspired from the White House. When Theodore Roosevelt was consulted, and as a result the following positive declaration was given out to the public: Springfield, Mass., June 7 -- Colonel Theodore Roosevelt said today, with reference to a published story that he would support Taft in the next presidential campaign: "There is no truth in the report that I have agreed to support any man for President in 1912. I have neither made any such statement nor even discussed the matter. The story is made out of whole cloth." Ordinarily, this declaration would have been regarded as putting the quietus on the Taft boom for the presidency, so far as Colonel Roosevelt is concerned, but the writer for the Taft forces was not to be " laid low" by any such positive declarations, and he endeavors to modify the effect of Colonel Roosevelt's utterances by the use of the following language: dravalled around the White House recently concerning the outcome of the next Republican national convention. This condition followed a visit of Secretary Meyer to Oyster Bay one day last week. Mr. Meyer was Postmaster General in the Roosevelt cabinet, and is the only member of the last administration retained by President Taft. That Mr. Meyer should discuss the forthcoming political campaign in all its bearings, and with particular reference to the renomination of Mr. Taft, is patent to any one. No one may know what message Col. Roosevelt sent back to Washington, but from the cordiality of the greeting of these two distinguished men at Baltimore, following such a long period of refrence on the part of Col. Roosevelt, a very good guess might be made concerning the purport of Mr. Meyer's report of his visit to Oyster Bay. Much damage probably would have resulted had the horse not been stopped. J. P. Galns, Mrs. Dr. Hall and Mrs. Sarah Gunn are attending the annual gathering of the Good Samaritans that convenes in Suffolk Va. this week. Henry Mosley continues quite sick. Nathan Read had the misfortune to have a lick over the his Saturday night that disfigures his looks considerably. The particulars of the affair could not be learned, and the aggressor, Lawrences Roberts, has left for parts unknown. It is understood in Washington that Col. Roosevelt desires to work quietly for the renomination of the President. He has been in communication with some of the senatorial insurgents, and has let them know that under no circumstances would he be a candidate; more than that, he is said to have expressed the belief that President Taft should and would be renominated. This would seem to indicate that Secretary Meyer was responsible for the erroneous report that ex-President Roosevelt would support President Taft for a renaming. Who ever the writer of these inspired interviews is, he shows about as little sense as he does judgment, for this last statement is equivalent to telling the distinguished resident of Oyster Bay that he is "playing the public and his friends double, for he is alleged to be quietly working to bring about a result which he has strenuously and positively denied making, any effort to accomplish. Under the biblical rule, "No that is not for me, is against me". Colin Roosevelt is opposed to the renomination of President Taft, and not only a far-sighted citizen, but ever a blind man should be able to see it. It means that President Taft is keeping company with a class of politicians and moneyed interests which Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is opposing, and that the former's lovable personality and past friendship are not sufficient to draw the Colonel over into this camp, where he must follow and not lead and where he must occupy second or third place in conferences. Instead of being accorded absolute sway and power in passing upon all questions which shall come up for party action The distinguished and able Theodore Roosevelt of New York, while not an avowed candidate for the presidency of the United States, will do all in his power to name the man who is to be nominated, and that man will not be one who is backed by the interests which are now lined up he blind President Taft. Should he fall in this he will turn his large following out to graze so to sneak on election day, and a Democratic chiefpet will occupy the White House for the next four years, advocating measures and insisting upon legislation which will be more in keeping with the views of Col. Theodore Roosevelt than that now advocated by the present able occupant of the White House. The next National Republican Convention will be a stormy affair, and, unless the outlook changes, and the Democratic leaders blunder, it will name a man for President whose defeat will be assured long before the body adjourns and the delegates reach their homes in the various parts of this country. Q THE CONFIRMATION OF MR. LEWIS. The United States Senate confirmed the nomination of Hon William H. Lewis as Assistant Attorney General of the United States. There is much to its credit and a remarkable tribute to President William H Taft, who must have insisted upon the elevation of this brilliant attorney from Massachusetts. It may be well to state too that he was cordially supported by Col Theodore Rosevelt. We are of the opinion that colored men throughout the country should regard with favor this signal recognition of merit on the part of both the administration and the United States Senate. It indicates that color will prove no bar to the elevation of a citizen of color who possesses transcendent ability of the positive kind and the tenacity of purpose which merits praise. It may be well top to recognise the fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington is primarily responsible for Mr. Lewis' elevation. He has stood by him in season and out of dress and it is certainly proper to accredit to him this great triumph. The confirmation of Mr. Lewis is a surprise. District Deputy Grand Chancellor I. D. Burrell instituted a new lodge of Knights of Pythias, N. a. S. A. E. A. and A. at Roanoke, Va. May 13th, with the following officers: Chancellor. Commander. Dr. J. B. Smith. Master of Work. Dr. J. B.

Master of Arms, James Wray. Inner Guard, George Simpson. Outer Guard, Arthur E. Edwards. Trustees, Dr. Hiram J. Moscoloy. William Jordan and Moses J. Brumby. The Grand Chancellor was highly pleased with the work there. The new lodge will be known as Magic City Lodge, No. 181. The Pythians are now issuing a $300.00 polio to its members. NEGROES TO HAVE NEW VIRGINIA FAIR FOR AGED Washington, June 8.—Senator Curtis, of Kansas, has introduced in the senate, by request, a bill authorizing the use of $200,000, held in the treasury from the estates of departed colored soldiers and formerly in the hands of the commissioners of the Freemen's Bureau, for the construction of a National memorial home for aged and infirm colored people and working girls, and for the establishment of an industrial farm to support the home. The bill provides for the construction of the building or buildings for the freemen of Washington. The farm is to be installed in Virginia ground. The money is to be paid to the association, known as the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People, soon as the attorney-general has investigated the status of the association and accorded that it is a regularly incorporated body for the relief of colored people. The future of the colored people or of any race depends largely upon the teachers of the public schools. No teacher has done her full duty by simply doing the best she can in the class room after the term has begun. The test of a good teacher is seen first in the preparation for her work that she is willing to give before the term opens. The school superintendents of city and county are very wise in giving the prefer-ence to those teachers who attend Summer School, and show sufficient consideration to their work to spend the time, money necessary to make themselves best teachers possible. No teacher ought to be permanently satisfied with a second grade certificate, or even with a first grade certificate. The State of Virginia has provided excellent Summer Normals at Petersburg and Hampton and elsewhere. It has provided a Summer Normal for the professional certificates as well as the first grade certificates at Virginia Union University, with a course extending over six weeks, as does the course for white teachers at the University of Virginia, at Charlotteville. The colored teachers want to have the same opportunities that the white teachers have. They have the opportunity this year. The question is whether they will take advantage of these highest privileges. The summer school at Virginia Union University ought to be crowded by earnest teachers who want to do as good work as any teachers in the State, and who are willing to sacrifice time and money to show that they appreciate the best kind of instruction. The school opens Monday morning, July 19th, and closes Friday, July 28th. Let no teacher who reads this be satisfied with anything less than the best training and the most honorable State certificate that is given The expense is as little as at any school of similar grade—$3 for tuition and $15 for board for the six weeks. teachers show their own worth they make their use of such oppor- tunity From Drake's Branch Drake's Branch, Va. Sunday was rally day at St. Michie's Church, and Dr. Hail brought religion right down into practical everyday life. Those kinds of sarmons always hit Drake's in the fanks, because her people are good talkers but poor livers of religion. When he goes to husband and wife, the Doctor was louder and striking harder. Much talk is annot now about "wife No. 2." In stopping short a runaway horse, today, Rüssel Walton, tenant for Postmaster Gregory (wWhite) proved himself not only a hero, but a quick thinker and actor. The horse, bobbling to Postmaster Ingham (wfilto), of Charlotte Courthouse, became frightened while standing at the depot and ran pell meil through the streets. Walton saw the horse-running, and seized the elms as the horse struck the bridge and the postoffice. Walton was thrown from his feet in an effort to stop the animal, and both wheels passed over his body. But the boy hold the roins and stopped the horse at the bridge. The wagon was loaded with groceries. The boy says he is not hurt. Wrote Manus Manus Pittsburg, Pa. May 29, 1911. Editor The Plaintiff. Dear Sir, I have noticed in reading your paper at different times that there has been a great deal said about the Negro shopping a leader. Since we are not pressed for a leader different from those which we have at the present time, I suggest that the American Negro first present to the United States government a question for settlement, and that question is this: To accord the American Negro the same rights under the same law the white man has or pay to the American Negro two hundred and fifty-five million dollars for the number of years that the Negro were held in bondage and robbed of their privilege and earnings. If the United States government will settle the bill the American Negro will, and could, go to Africa and establish a government of their own and build up their own country. This question should be presented to the United States government for settlement by the American Negro before we choose a leader. Yours very truly, CHARLES JORDAN. It seems to us that the above letter is the strongest kind of argument in favor of the securing of a leader for the purpose of obtaining the desired results—Editor.

Dercas has struck the key-note. I think his idea are the best I have seen in print—that is, to call a convention of the colored people together and let them nominate and elect a leader. Not only of colored; but also of the white friends, should be invited to aid us in this grand movement. He Woke 'Em Up A certain Scotch minister, a newcomer in the parish, finding it impossible to arrest the attention of his congregation, became desperate. No sooner did he appear in the pulpit than they promptly composed themselves to sleep. One evening, after taking up his position, he rapped sharply on the ledge in front of him and addressed his sonnelock in tones of severe remonstrance. "Now, brethren," he said, "it's not fair to go to sleep, as ye always ha' done, directly I begin my sermon.

It is reported in Washington that the department of justice is soon to enter suit against the United States Steel corporation, but no confirmation of this can be secured from the department. The investigation of the steel trust is being conducted by Solicitor General Lehman. It was one of the first duties assigned to him when he assumed office last winter. The administration had sought an investigation some time prior to that, but Attorney General Wickersham was himself at one time an attorney for the steel trust and did not care to undertake it, and for some reason William S. Kenyon, at that time the "trust buster" for the department of justice, did not care to shoulder the investigation. It was therefore given to Lehman as his most important duty in the office of solicitor general. Mr. Lehman has been working at it persistently ever since and he has been added by attorneys for the department investigating the affairs of the concern in New York and elsewhere. However, it is not possible to learn how far along the investigation has got. The length of time required would depend upon the attitude of the trust, the ramifications of the organization and the nature of the prosecution to be brought. The investigation and preparation of the Standard Oil suit in its first stages required a year and a half. For the tobacco trust nearly three years were taken. Also beyond the question of time required for the government to perfect its suit enters the probability of a decision by the department of justice that the evidence obtained does not warrant a suit. As the solicitor general is working alone and entirely in dependently on this case it is difficult to learn what progress has been made. It is said that the commissioner of corporations, Herbert Knox Smith, has about completed his investigation of the affairs of the steel trust and that he will submit this to the president in a short time for use in conjunction with the prosecution. This would preclude a criminal investigation, as information given to the commissioner insures immunity from criminal prosecution. This information, however, could be employed in a suit in equity for the dissolution of the trust under the Sherman ant-trust law. Mr. Smith's report is founded upon investigations ordered by President Roosevelt, which have been continued by direction of President Taft. While government action might be influenced by the report, it would not be based upon it. CHARGED WITH HERESY Reformed Minister in Pittsburg Says He is Not Orthodox. Rev Dr John H. Dietrich, pastor of St. Mark's Memorial Reformed church, Pittsburg, Pa., was charged with heresy at a meeting of the classis of the Reformed church. He will be tried in Pittsburg July 12. In a statement Rev Dietrich says, "I do not claim to be orthodox; in fact, I have no desire to be, for it represents a system of thought based upon ignorance and superstition. There is no question about the difference between the orthodox theory of the world and my theory. "They beliebey in a system of things which start with the fall of man, with an atonement wrought out by a dying God midway, and an eternal hell at the end. I believe there never was a fall of man; that from the beginning he has risen; that the atonement is not wrought out by a dying God, but every man coming into harmony with the laws of the universe, which are the laws of God; and if man will do their part the kingdom of God lios ahead instead of an endless hell." Plastic of Cool Crushers Hi-Phull Price of Coal Crushers His Death. Coal thrown from a train by its rapid motion hit Daniel George of Egypt, Pa. on the head, crushing in his skull and causing death in a few hours. He was twenty-six years old. Sister of President Garfield Dead. Mrs. M. G. Trowbridge, aged ninety years, a sister of the late President Garfield, died in Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Garfield, the president's widow, was notified by telegraph. TAFT'S SON IS EXCLUDED Because he was unfamiliar with the rule requiring applicants to register when they begin their study of law, Robert Aliphone Taft, son of President Taft, was denied the privilege of taking the Ohio state bar examination for Columbus. He probably will take it two years hence. Reciprocity Will Pass. Talk in administration circles in Washington is much more favorable as regards the outlook for reciprocity. It was said that the president had been advised that the Root amendment on the wood pulp and paper schedule would be beaten and that the probabilities of the passage of the agreement were much improved over a week ago. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, declares there is no chance for the Root amendment. For a time the senate talked of trying to recess until fall, but Champ Clark has set his foot down hard on this scheme. The finance committee now talks of voting on the bill June 7 and reporting it without amendment. Says 20 Miners Were Murdered. Francis Peshan, president of the Pennsylvania Mine Workers' union, bluntly charged before the house committee on rules that murder, violence and peonage had marked the progress of the strike in the Westmoreland coal fields of Pennsylvania. He asserted that twenty minors had been shot to death by deputy sheriff and that foreign laborers had been held practically in slavery. The rules committee heard Feehan in connection with a resolution introduced by Representative Wilson, of Pennsylvania, directing an inquiry by congress into strike conditions in the Westmoreland fields. After listening to the recital, the committee decided that court action should be exhausted Before congress should conduct an inquiry into the situation. --- Murdered and Robbed. In a little tinge of woods on the edge of Paradise creek, near Norfolk, Vn., a murder was revealed when a party of searchers out scouring the country in quest of J. L. Benton, a merchant, who had been missing from his home on Deep Creek shell road since last Friday, found him with a gaping wound in his face. Robbery was undoubtedly the ruling motive of the crime and a shotgun was the weapon. Industrious and possessed of a large family iy to care for, Mr. Benton had accumulated considerable money, which he carried about with him wherever he went. He had in his pockets when he left his home on Friday morning nearly $500. When his pockets were searched the money was gone PRESIDENT AND ROOSEVELT MEET Cardinal Gibbons Completes Group and Crowd Cheers. President Taft and former President Roosevelt met at the dunlilious of Cardinal Gibbons in Baltimore. Mr. Roosevelt was the first on the scene and went on the speaker's platform before any of the other 500 or more public men, in the boat and hat rooms downstairs, had reached it. He got an ovation, the great audience breaking out into a prolonged cheer. After all the guests had been scathed, President Taft and the cardinal appeared on, the front of the stand. The chairs had been so arranged that the president was to sit on the right of the cardinal, and Roosevelt to the right of Taft. The president, the colonel and the cardinal took their seats. For a fraction of a second the eyes of Taft and the colonel did not meet. Each seemed to be looking away from the other. Then President Taft spoke to the cardinal and motioned to Roosevelt All three rose to their feet and approached one another. President Taft presented Roosevelt to the cardinal, the prince of the church grasping the hand of the lion hunter with vigor and warmth. The little drama caught the vast throng. Peace and good will was written all over it. The multitude broke out into a great cheer. President Taft had broken the ice. When they were seated again the president leaned over and borrowed a program from Roosevelt. They smiled at each other now and then as brief remarks passed or they nudged each other with elbow or hand. When President Taft had finished his address, Roosevelt was quick to congratulate him, and when Roosevelt had complied his remarks the president was equally eager with words of praise for the colonel. Then they smiled and chatted across the arms of their chairs as if they were having a love feast. New Balls For B. 4 O.

POULTRY PACKING EGGS. Those Per Hatching Should Be Packed So as to Reach Purchaser in I- reproachable Condition. The man who sells eggs for hatch- Interpre- taking dose of wiping tale "And O' Q D' trust," remarked the "Yes" laughed the always use those last CHICKEN MITES. Various 'Solutions of Kerosene and Other Ingredients For Genquering These Poets of the Hanehouse. The chicken mites not, only attack poultry, but horses and even man. According to H. C. Pierce of the Iowa experiment station, hens attacked by mites cease laying and become poor in flesh, dumpish and listless in action, the feathers roughen and drop out, the head and the comb become pale, and the bird presents a silky appearance. The adult mite is only about one-twentieth or one-twenty-fifth of an inch long. It is grayish except when feeding, when it becomes reddish because of the blood it has sucked. Unlike the chicken lice, the mite does not live on the birds at all times, but crawls into cracks at the corners of the roosts and in the poultry house. It generally attacks the fowl when on the roost or the nest. The eggs are laid in cracks or in filth, and the young crawl to the fowls after feeding in the filth for a few days. The best preventives for mites are cleanliness and sunlight. Among the beat remedies are kerosene emulsion, kerosene and flake naphthalene and kerosene and carbolic acid. For the first heat a ten cent cake of laundry soap in a pint of soft water until a paste is formed, then stir in one pound of commercial creosol and heat or allow to stand until the soap paste is dissolved, then stir in one gallon of kerosene. For use this mixture should be diluted with fifty parts water. The creosol can be bought for 30 cents a pint at the drug store. It should not touch the skin, as it will cause smarting. Kerosene emulsion is made by dissolving a pint of shaved hard soap in a gallon of soft water. While still hot add two gallons of kerosene and stir. This makes a thick, creamy emulsion, which may be kept as a stock solution. For use it is diluted with ten parts water and applied, preferably hot In two gallons of kerosene dissolve all the fake naphthalene possible and apply without any dilution. This naphthalene has the same penetrating odor of gasoline. To one part crude carbolic acid add three parts kerosene and apply without dilution. The mixture must be kept stirred while being applied. Crude carbolic acid is better than pure because it contains other coal tar products. These mixtures may all be applied with a large brush or a spraying machine. The latter is quicker and more efficient. Great care must be taken to fill every crevice in the walls, around the perches and nests with the liquid. Before sitting hens are placed upon eggs the nests should be thoroughly saturated with one of these preparations, so that any mites present may be destroyed and possible infestation prevented. The Greatness of Small Things. The Greatness of Small Things. Great business interests have made their successes through the utilization of small things. The packing house industry is great not because of the vast amount of meat that is sold, but because nothing is allowed to go to waste. The oil industry is successful not on account of the amount of kerosene oil, but because of the thousand things that have been made from the hybrids of crude oil. The same principle applies in the dairy business. While milk and breeding stock may be the principal sources of income, the feeding of pigs and the preservation of the manure will add enormously to the profit. Keeping records of the cows is often the first real step toward success in the dairy business. Leg Weakness. Young chicks that are closely confined, with but little exercise, are likely to be troubled with leg weakness and will often break completely down. Damp roosting quarters will also cause the trouble. Chicks when first hatched should have all the fresh air and sunshine possible. On days when it is not raining they should have their liberty, even though it be cold. They do not mind a dry cold, as they hustle to their mothers' wings when chilly. Guard them against dampness, but harden them to the cold, and they will grow up rapidly and be hunky. Lime and Poultry. Lime is one of the very best disinfectants for the poultry house and yard, and we venture to say that, if used constantly, nine-tenths of the diseases would be avoided. It should be thrown around and allowed to slake itself, the process seeming to absorb the impurities surrounding. Fowls cannot remain healthy unless in healthy surroundings, and when once a disease gets started it means much work and loss before it can be checked. Take time by the forelock and guard against the beginning. Keeping One Breed the Best Unless you are a specialist and have plenty of time and equipment do not try to keep more than one breed. Chickens are difficult to confine during the breeding season on the average place. Mixing will result unless the fowls are closely confined and watched, especially if you have neighbors with chickens. Orohard Heaters Orchard heaters offer 'ways and means of carrying fruit through frosty nights. It might pay you to investigate the benefits of orchard heaters and the methods of using them. Late frosts are always dreaded, and when fruit can be protected from them the orchardist is fortunate. Prices are usually better when the crop is short; hence the facts are all in favor of saving your crop. PACKING EGGS. Those Per Hatching Should Be Packed So as to Reach Purchaser in Impressachable Condition. The man who sells eggs for hatching purpose is under obligation to the purchaser to pack such eggs in a manner that will reach him in good, hatchable condition. Packing such eggs as he would common market eggs is his sufficient. There are ways innumerable of packing eggs for hatching. Every breeder seems to have his own particular ideas in the matter. As long as those ideas do not conflict with the main proposition of having the eggs reach the purchaser in a hatchable condition there is no harm done, but if they do then a new way of packing eggs should be inaugurated. Many packers have never had any use for patent egg boxes, for, although they may be a little handler to fill and ship, still they do not carry the eggs in as safe a way as the one which follows: For one sitting of fifteen eggs take a common peck market basket and line the bottom of it with exceler. Then take a handful of exceler and wrap it around the egg, making a tight wad out of it. Do this with all fifteen of the eggs, then pack the wads tightly in the basket. Lay exceler on top of the basket and pack some of it on the side and ends, so that the eggs may not shake around. Then sew muslin tightly over the top of all and label and address them. They will invariably reach their destination in good condition. In cold weather wrap a piece of tissue paper around the egg before wrapping with exceler. This is done to guard against chilliness en route, but after the season has fairly opened you may discard the paper. Although scientists tell us that lil shaped and malformed eggs will hatch as well as perfectly formed ones, still you should always aim to send only well shaped eggs and alim to get them as uniform in color as possible, though the latter is 'slimest impossible to do at times.' DUCK FOUNTAIN. Will Do Away With Stepping Water Around and at the Same Time Protect Young Birds. Since ducklings stop, water around considerably when they drink, and since they should be kept dry until after their feathers have formed, the drinking fountain illustrated herewith will be found particularly useful. A square of quarter inch mesh galvanized wire cloth, say, eighteen inches to the Fountain For Ducklings. side, is tacked to a wooden frame and placed over a bed of gravel so the water may easily drain away. If the soil is not gravelly a hole should be dug about two feet deep and dilled with small stones. The drinking fountain of any convenient shape should be anchored in the center of the wire screen. For little ducks the weight of a fountain holding one gallon or more will be more than sufficient to prevent toppling over Blood Clots on Eggs. A streak of blood on the shell amounts to nothing, as such will happen generally with pullets when laying their first eggs, although it may happen with old hens that lay an abnormally large egg, but blood clots on the yolks are more serious and are caused by the breaking of a blood vessel in the oviduct or egg carriage. We should prefer not to eat such eggs, although not positively bad. Embarrassing! "Tommy," said the pretty teacher, "you don't see Mr. Titliman, the principal, coming to school with a soiled face."

Carrying Forward Starter. Starter for butter may be propagated from day to day. When a good starter is secured, add a small portion of it to some sweet milk, enough milk being used to make the necessary starter for the cream to be churned. When churning is done this is a good method of carrying forward the starter. It will satisfactorily control the souring of the milk if other clean conditions are observed.

RESIDENTIAL COLOR LINE. An ordinance providing for the further segregation of the races in Richmond has been prepared by Councilman A. L. Vonderlehr, of Henry Ward, and will be introduced in the Common Council next Monday night. The measure is designed to preserve order, protect property values and draw the line between residence sections for white and colored people. The full text of the measure is as follows: Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Richmond — 1. That it shall be unlawful for any white person to occupy as a residence or to establish and maintain as a place of public assembly, any house upon any street or alley between two adjacent streets on which a greater number of houses are occupied as residences by colored people than are occupied as residences by white people. 2. That it shall be unlawful for any colored person to occupy a residence or to establish and maintain as a place of public assembly, any house upon any street or alley between two adjacent streets on which a greater number of houses are occupied as residences by white people than are occupied as residences by colored people. 3. That no person shall construct or locate on any block or square on which there is at that time no residence, any house or other building intended to be used as a residence, without declaring in his application for a permit to build, whether the house or building so to be constructed is designed to be occupied by white or colored people, and the building inspector of the city of Richmond shall not issue any permit in such case unless the applicant complies with the provisions of this section. 4. That nothing in this ordinance shall affect the location of residences made previous to the approval of this ordinance, and nothing herein shall be so construed as to prevent the occupation of residences by white or colored servants or employees, on the square or block on which they are so employed. 5. Every person, either by himself or through his agent, violating, or any agent for another violating, any one or more of the provisions of this ordinance shall be liable to a fine of not less than one hundred nor more than two hundred dollars, recoverable before the police justice of the city of Richmond, and, in the discretion of the police justice, such person may, in addition thereto, be confined in the city jail not less than thirty nor more than ninety days. 6. This ordinance shall be in force from its passage. City Attorney Pollard has reviewed the proposed ordinance and pronounces it constitutional and legal in every way.

San Francisco, June 8—G. L. (Tex) Rickard, who was the promoter of the Johnson-Joffries fight in Reno last July, says in a letter received here today that he will offer a purse of $50,000 for Jack Johnson to fight two men the same day for the world's championship at Buenos Aires. Rickard, who is in Buenos Aires, declares his belief that Johnson can defeat any two men in the world, one after the other. "All I ask," he writes, "is that Johnson be given a rest of fifteen minutes after disposing of the first adversary." EIGHT NEGROES KILLED. They Had Compiled to Murder Their Foreman.

NATIONAL HOME INVESTMENT COMPANY (Charleston, W. Va., Advocato) (Charleston, W. V., Avocado) The news from Richmond, Virginia, concerning the Grand United Order of Truth Reformers is anything but pleasing, even to the most sanguine members and friends of the organization. - The investigation into the affairs of the bank shows that the Grand Fountain and the bank are so closely allied that one must inevitably go down with the door. If Grand Mater-Holmes survive, he must save Bank President Holmes. Neither can live without the other. - The success to light that Wall Street has eluded soon such financial acornings as Hill and his associated indulged in. They thought nothing of over-checking, financing their own pet projects, and juggling funds to suit their convenience. All who were not directly engaged in embassing the money entrusted to their care, showed such indifference to the transactions of their follows as to the guilty of criminal intelligence. A thorough investigation of the Grand Fountain and all its branches was recombined by the recovers for the bank. This is the only method by which the truth can be ascertained, and it is very much hoped that the recommendation will be adopted by the court without any lengthy litigation. Law suits are costly, and the reformers, whose visible assets are small, have nothing to throw away on lawyers' fees. The lawyers and those who have robbed the Order would alone profit, while the small fire who have been paying their dues with greater regularity than they said, their prayers will be, left to hold theirs. An investigation does, not mean necessarily the discovery of the stolen funder, but if you disclose the guilty parties, but let's investigate.

Three men were killed and damage was inflicted amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars in a cloudburst that hit Allettown, Pa. "Chain lightning," that blinded the onlookers; was accompanied by terrifying thunder. A gale that rose to seventy miles an hour drowned trees by the hundreds in every part of the city. The trees tore down electric light and trotley wires. The rain was like a cataract. Within five minutes streets were guttier and the water flooded over the side walks into cellars. Houses were unroofed in every section of the city. To add to the damage the storm brought with it hall whose like was never seen here. There were hall-stones ranging in size from a hickory nut to a boy's flat. The hall smashed window panes on the exposed side of almost every house in town. At Tenth and Union streets a lightning blast bats a tree, which fell on a house in which Mrs. Carlo Ailender conducted a boarding house. One side of the house was built of corrugated iron. A high tension wire carrying 13,000 volts fell against the iron side of the house. Two men in the house, Hannibal Dotterer and Ivin Cackenbach, were electrocuted and Mrs. Ailender shocked into insensibility. John Wagner, a friend of the man killed, rushed into the house in a heroic effort to rescue them. As he touched Dotterer's body he was shocked unconscious and he died as he was being carried into a house across the street. Lightning Kills Two at Ball Game.
