RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXVIII, NO. 30. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1911. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. THE TRUE REFORMERS AND CHIEF GRIFFIN. Much Worried Here. ---Citizens Meet at Second Street Offices. ---They Speak Plainly. Editor Mitchell There, Too. Mr. W. R. Griffin, of Washington, who spent several days here after reading the disclosures in the columns of The Planet, did not leave a stone unturned in an effort to have something done, and-at once. He undertook a task that had balked abler men than himself. "He must have had "iots of fun," so to speak, for he was town-talk, and is even now the subject of comment in this city of seven hills. He found the same air of mystery pervading the Second street offices of the True Reformers that had been in evidence all the time. He could not get any information, but was told that any that could be gotten was at his disposal. JUST WANTED TO KNOW. Finally he conceived the idea that he would like to know what the people of Richmond thought about the condition of affairs and whether or not they approved of his plan to be given admit at once, both civil and criminal against the alloged guilty parties. He had the officers send out cards to the business colored men, regardless of their membership in the Order. He was so earnest about it that he induced even the editor of The Planet to attend the meeting. Prominent colored men were in evidence, and that quiet smile was observable upon the countonance of even Dr. John E. Merliweather, who has been 'relentless in his efforts to bring matters to a focus. CITIZENS INVITED. Mr. W. R. Griffin, better known to the Washington people as Chief Griffin, occupied the rostrum and explained conditions. He invited Grand Worthy Master A. W. Holmes to preside. Mr. Griffin spoke long and earnestly. There was no one who antagonized his position, not even Grand Worthy Master Holmes, who was emphatic in his declaration that he had done all in his power to bring the guilty persons to justice. He cited the fact that General Counsel J. Thomas Newsome had been vested with the power to bring suits and money had been authorized by the Board of Directors for him to begin action. The matter was in the hands of the board and the general counsel. When Editor Mitchell of The Planet, entered there was some commotion. He took a seat and was an attentive listener to all that was said. Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson made an earnest address too while emphasizing the fact that the members of the Board of Directors were not responsible, in that they had directed the prosecution of the guilty parties. A LADY'S WARNING. Mrs. Bettle McCraw was quipapoen in her 'condemnation of' those whom she allaged had robbed the poor people of their hard earnings. She told 'In tremulous tones of her hard, persistent work for the Order, but she could not go to people now, for they insisted that the people guilty of these crimes should be punished. She complimented The Planet and dwell, upon the fact that there was no denial of its assertions. LAWYER POLLARD OUTSPOKEN Lawyer J. R. Pollard delivered a short address, but it was pointed and forcible. He declared that it it was known that Mr. Hill had been sent away to shield others. He insisted that when they got Hill all of this secrecy would be explained and some men in the city would tremble. "Why talk about Hill, who is not here," he exclaimed. "Why not get the men who are here?" The fact that such a small reward had been offered was commented upon. CHIBF ORIFFIN OPBAKS PLAINLY Chief Griffin commented upon the action of the editor of The Planet. He said that some of the things said were a little more drastic than the thought they should be, but the facts were presented—and they were true. If they were not true no one had come forward to deny them. He complimented The Planet, and said that the members of the Order were under obligations to Editor Mitchell for the disclosures he had made. HOTEL MAN THERE. TOO. Mr. William Miller, proprietor of Miller's Hotel, was also an interested observer. Grand Worthy Secretary Burrell was present and stated that he was ready and willing to face a jury; that he had done nothing of which he was ashamed. He did not know about the workings of the bank. A corp of experts were now at work upon the books of the Grand Fountain. Dr. John E. Merlweather chimed in that this was one thing for which he had been working for some time, and he was glad that it had been accomplished. THE EDITOR'S COMMENT. Finally Editor John Mitchell, Jr., arose to inquire as to the nature of the meeting, and ascertained that he had voice and vote, but not before Dr. John E. Meriweather had made a motion that the Executive Committee be requested to offer an additional reward of $600.00 for the apprehension of Cashier R. T. Hill. It may be well to state that Chief Griffin stated that the detectives had told him that he had not been notified that any reward whatever had been offered for Cashier R. T. Hill. He was satisfied that he would be located when a sufficient reward had been offered for his apprehension. This created much interest. THE GENERAL COUNSEL Editor John Mitchell, Jr., stated that, in his opinion, the statements concerning the course of General Counsel Newsome were not justified. He emphasized the fact that no lawyer could act without a client. The mere authority given by the Board of Directors, to his mind, was not all sufficient in law. It was evident that the action of the Board should be binding upon the chief officer. Mr. Newsome could not act without the authority and support of the official head. He knew that General Counsel Newsome had not been permitted to proceed, but had been called off. WANTED LARGE REWARD. He was of the opinion that Mr. Hill would be produced when the reward offered was sufficiently large to produce him. The first step should be a demand upon the bonding company for that thirty thousand dollars for which it was responsible. He was reliably informed that no demand had been made upon this company for the money. When the demand is made the detectives of that company will get to work, or the reward offered will be sufficiently attractive to bring them here. It was evident that Cashier Hill was not alone in this stupendous embossement of the people's money. MUCH MONEY MISSING. He counted up the amount and it exceeded $70,000. "Mr. Mitchell was exceedingly pointed in his remarks. He declared that he had no feeling against the Order of True Reformers, although he had been designated by some as the "enemy of the Order." He was interested in the welfare of the colored people at large and primarily interested in the unfortunate in which the business people of this community now found themselves. Something should be done. He spoke for some time and created a profound impression. He called attention to the fact that Grand. Worthy Master Holmes had not stated Dr. Morlweather's motion. This created a murmur, and the demand was made by some for the question. Mr. Holmes stated that he did not think that it was necessary to pass such a motion as the board would be in session in a few days. He put the motion, however, and it was carried unanimously. The lady clorks and other officers were listening, and they seemed to be prehensive, not knowing what to expect next. Mr. Griffin left for Washington, stating that Washington would add $500.00 to the fund in order to get the much-wanted R. T. Hill. Go with Astoria Club to Buckroe Beach, Tuesday, July 11th. Round trip, $1.25: children, 75c. LOUIS L., GREGORY CAUGHT IN DENVER Defaulting Cashier of Atlantic Coast Line Under Arrest. Louis L. Gregory, absconding cashier of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, was arrested last night in Denver, Col., according to a telegram received this morning after 3 o'clock by Chief of Police Werner. The dispatch reads: "Have Louis Gregory, alias Whitmore. He will return without requisition." Gregory disappeared from Richmond on May 20, leaving a note, which indicated suicide. Subsequent developments brought forth facts that he had misappropriated funds of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway amounting to about $25,000. Chief Werner said this morning that he had information that the missing cashier was in the Colorado city, and he had advised the police there to be on the look out for him. Gregory's disappearance caused a profound sensation in Richmond. He was prominent here, and well known throughout the city. He engaged in the automobile business aside from his work as a railroad cashier, and was thought to be well fixed financially until the discovery of his shortages. A warrant for his arrest was sworn out on May 24 by Ernest Polindaxter, special attorney for the American Surety Company in which Gregory was bonded for $30,000. The specific charge was that of the theft of $5,000. The fact that he is willing to return without requisition is a source of gratification to the local authorities, who are anxious to bring the prisoner to an early trial. Gregory lived with his wife and children at Brookland Park, where he recently built a fine home—Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, June 22, 1911. Rev. McCoy Objects Los Angeles, Cal., June 13, 1911. 382 East 15th Street. Editor The Planet: There appeared in your paper on the 18th of May, over the signature of your Los Angeles correspondent. A. D. Lacoy, the 'following': "The result of a ten-nights' royal hold at the Second Baptist Church, on Wall street is the rejoicing over one chase by baptism and two adults by letter. I desire to say that the above is a gross and shameful misrepresentation of the Second Baptist Church, and appears to have all the car- marks of intentional slaughter. I called the attention of your correspondent to this matter, and he seemed not to know anything about it, but promised to make corrections. Since I have seen no statement concerning the matter, you will please do me the kindness to insert this rebuttal. JOSEPH L. MCCOY, Pastor Second Baptist Church, Los Angeles, Cal. The $100 reward offered several months ago for the arrest of R. T. Hill the absconding banker of the True Reformers' Bank, was this morning raised to $500 by the bank directors, and circulated are now being printed by the police for general distribution. Hill's family, believing the man insane, first offered the $100 reward. The banker's books were then examined. Hill having been missing a short time, and a shortage running well into the thousands of dollars, was discovered. He was subsequently indicted by the grond jury on a number of counts.

John Bancroft, Jr., son of John Bancroft, millionaire textile manufacturer of Wilmington, Del, has applied for a divorce from big wife, daughter of Alfred I. Dupont, multi millionaire vice president of the Dupont Powne company. The action, which caused a sensation, is a sequel to the elapement of the young couple to Washington, Dec. 8, 1907, where they were married by Rev D. C. McLeod. The case is brought on alleged statutory ground. The docket reads "John Bancroft, Jr., vs. Mrs Madeline Dupont Bancroft and Max Helbler, Jr. Libel for divorce." The Max Hebler, Jr, mentioned is a three-week-old son of Mrs Bancroft, the paternity of whom Bancroft denies 'Mas Hebler was a resident of Muntch, Bavaria, where Mr and Mrs Bancroft passed, much of their time, following their elopement on Dec. 10, 1997. The husband doubled that the son born to Mrs Bancroft is the child of this Max Hebler The case promises to be one of the most sensational that has ever been heard in the Delaware courts. Dj vorce cases in this state are heard in open court, and the case will come up at the September term of supreme court The wedding of the couple created a sensation at the time they left the home of the girl's father in an automobile, following a stormy scene with the girl's mother, and were married in Washington the same day. At the time the bridegroom was a student at Princeton Shirley after the wedding Mr. and Mrs Bancroft went to Munich, where the husband completed his studies at Heidelberg University. Upon returning to this country, young Bancroft became connected with his father in the Bancroft manufactory. Allegations are to the effect that while the young wife was in Munich on the husband remaining in Wilmington, she had improper relations, continuing at other European cities. The child was born at the home of Mrs Bancroft in this city three weeks ago. The object in joining the child defendant with its mother, it is said to have to the court pass upon its legitimacy. Neither Mr. nor Mrs Bancroft are in this city. He is at Minorva, N. Y., and she is at Atlantic City. Mr Whitman, attorney for the husband, declined to discuss the affair. Thomas Hosal lawyer for the wife, said I have a perfect defense. According to the docked Mrs. Hancraft's age is twentythree and her husband's twenty-six. It is the impression in Withington on that Mrs. Hancraft's son details, more than three years young. Noah her husband To the brevity of a general convoy. William Lewis his wife and five children on the river. Lewis is a wee planter and his large house on the coast a commuting post on the river a few miles from man. Some twenty convicts, at work on the road, camped with their pursuits near the Lewis rest degree. About two of them in the morning one of the citys discovered the Lewis rest house. He noticed the officer was dead the ran to the burning house being fired on seen a timed by the governor thought the prisoners were coming. When the officer reached the house it was filled to capacity enveloped at three and the rest family was in the second story living almost in the same door. The room is quickly provisioned a house that treated to the wood, fire and Lewis rest and the child in a room reserved. Several of the convicts were housed. Leads announce that he will celebrate to obtain pardons for 44 convicts. It is said that nearly every person in the county will sign the petition for pardon --- Drug and Pob Over Twenty Laborers Six armed bandits visited the camp of the laborers employed on the Bozemer road, near Eric, Pa., and after they had chloroformed (twenty or more of the men, escaped with over $2200, which represented the lifetime savings of many of the workmen. Two posses are scouring the country in search of the bandits. There are about fifty of the laborers living at the camp, many of them being foreigners. Thursday was their payday. Many of the workmen, after receiving their pay, left camp for their homes in Erie and Pittsburgh, leaving behind at the camp about twenty-four of their fellow workmen About 2 o'clock in the morning slim men, their faces concealed by masks and carrying revolvers, quietly entered the camp. The first man they robbed happened to be awake. When he tried to give an alarm he was struck over the head with the butt end of a pistol and rendered unconscious. The thieves went from shanty to shanty, pouring chloroform on the pillows of the men's beds. Then the bandits took their time in rifting their trunks and clothing of all they possessed. The police say that the bandita escaped with about $2205. There is no clue for the police to work on. Subscribe to The Planet.

Fourteen companies were in line. Brigadior General John Mitchell, Jr., was in command, and the First Regiment was under the command of Colonel Thomas M. Crump, while the Second Regiment was commanded by Colonel Archer Drew, of Portsmouth. The First Battalion of the First Regiment was commanded by Captain Adolphus Jackson. Major J. H. Ward, of the Second Battalion, was absent. SOME OF THE OFFICERS The First Battalion, Second Regiment was commanded by Major Wm H Tyler of Norfolk, the Second Battalion by Major Lee N Colchrop, of Portsmouth, and the Third Battalion by Major B F. J. Jackson, of Newport News. Lilientant Colonel W F. Harris was also in command. Some of the companies were attired in new regulation uniforms. WANTED MUCH MONEY. The livery men here raised the price of horses to $5.00 for the parade, which parade would take place at 2 o'clock Brigadier General Mitchell consulted his officers, and it was unanimously decided to walk later 12 horses were offered at $3.00 but as it was within one and one-half hours of the time of the parade, the offer was declined EVERYBODY HAPPY The parade was praised by white and colored people. The business section of the city stopped work to see it pass. The length of the parade surprised even its promoters. The First Regiment made a splendid showing rivaling the Second, which has always had its full quota of officers and men. Brigadier General Mitchell marched easily with Colonel John R Chiles Colonel D A Ferguson, Colonel R C Mitchell Colonel Thomas Smith, Colonel U S G Patterson, accompanying him. Then came the officers Colonel Thomas M. Crump was accompanied by his staff, consisting of Capt W. Henry Jones Capt Willis Wyatt, Lieutenant B H Peyton and others. LONG MARCH The march was trying on the men for the local committee had covered in the back streets as well as the business ones and the system of counter marching was indeed trying upon the men. Finally they reached the baseball park, where a game was in progress between the Richmond and Peterburg teams. Richmond won by a score of 12 to 5 GRAND SCENE Never has there been a grander scene as the bands played and the men marched and counter marched in the park. The Pythian Cadets with their blue coats and their white pants white and crimson shirts were easily the centre of attraction. They had marched 22 piles but they gave no evidence of it. ELECTION OF OFFICERS The election of officers took place as follows First Regiment Colonel Thomas M Crump, Lieutenant Colonel Thomas H Wyatt Major, First Battalion, Wm A Roblison (subject to approval), Second Battalion, J H. Ward Second Regiment Colonel, Archer Drew Lieutenant Colonel, Wm F Harris, First Battalion, Wm H Tyler Second Battalion Lee N Coltrop Third Battalion H F Jackson The contest for prizes began. Captain John Stewart, of Newport News, pitched his company against Macon Guards Company. No 16, against any company in the State. He won the prize. Python Cadet-Company under command of Capt Jerome Davis, took the prize for its super drilling FINE CAMPING GROUND The camp ground was selected by Major D B Cornish, and is on high ground and is well drained. A better place could not have been secured for the purpose. Flooring is laid in the Brigadier General's tent and also in Colonel Thomas M Crump's trent. A double bed was placed inside of each tent. It is an interesting sight to see the camp during the early morning hour A MORNING SCENE The boys and the men take their turn at the well to secure water for washing their faces. Each one provided himself before leaving home with soap, towels, blanket, knife, fork and spoon and tin plate and cup. During meal time, as a rule, everything was discarded but this plate and tin cup, and the finger and teeth did the rest. THEY EAT MUCH When it is noted here that one lit- tle boy—and some of them appear to be not much more than two feet tall—can eat as much as two men, it will be understood just how much of a proposition confronts the com- missary department. Lient. Isaac Bray has rendered invaluable assist- ance and seems to know everything about camp life. They are all having a good time over there at camp, and all of them seem to be happy. A GUIDE WHO WAS THERE The Pythian Cadets were taken on a Jaunt to the Crater last Wednesday morning, at 11 a. o'clock, Brigidian General John Mallickoll, Jr. camp over at half past 1 o'clock in a carriage. Miss M. J. Ollics, Miss Eva G. Davis and Mrs. Drudella Gilpin were in the barry, and Colone) H. F. Jouathan, who spent the night at the camp, went out with them also. Private A. M. Holmes, who was in the battle of the Crater and who had an arm broken there by a piece of shell, led the way. "The cadets marched to the tap of the drum. The route laid down and up hill until after going for about a mile and a half to two miles a gate was reached. A white lady appeared and she stood at the gate and seemed somewhat puzzled. "You see," she said, "this is private property. We own this place." "Yes, we know," responded Mr. Mitchell; "tell us the damage." "I get 25 cents aplece, she says, and sometimes with no reduction for parties." She looked at the boys. "I will let them in for 20 cents aplece." Finally she said 10 cents aplece, but she admitted that she did not presume that they would understand it anyway. MR JONATHAN PAYS M. Jonathan banded over the money for the party of four, supplemented later by a proportionate amount for a party of two. The lady was scicable now—another person so to speak. "I have lived here all my life," she said. "Right here is where the Pennsylvania troops fought. Over there is where Mahone's Brigade rallied and repulsed the Union troops General Grant and his engineers mined under this fort. The pickets of the two snakes were not more than 75 yards apart SIX WEEKS' WORK They were six weeks mining here. They started the mine down there following the line of those trees and when they reached under the fort they were 35 feet below the surface. They then dug two wings or chambers. The Confederates suspected that this tunnelling was going on, but they did not know it. They attempted to tap it by cointerminating to find it. They would have done so, but they were only 12 feet below the surface, whereas the Union men were 35 feet. THE MINE FIRED The work of mining on the part of the union army was done by Pennsylvania coal miners, and it was a skillful piece of engineering. Eight thousand pounds of powder were put into the mine. It was set off about 5 o'clock on the morning of July 30, 1864 and the shock threw men off their feet. She was now standing on the edge of the Crater "This was much deeper," she said, "and it has filled up since three hundred Confederates manned this fort and they were all killed" COLORED TROOPS SLAUGHTERED General Grant threw the colored troops into the breach. They charged across this opening, but they were not properly supported, owing to the feauness of the Federal generals. When they did get support it was too late, for the Confederates had rallied and they poured an enflaming fire from the other forts in this battery. As a result 9,000 Union soldiers were slaughtered. I will go and open up the museum and you can go down there and see where the tunnel started. It has a stone marker. THE LONG MARCH The Uniform Rank Go to Petersburg By the Turnpike. The Pythian Castle, 727 N. Third street was a scene of bustling activity last Monday morning. The Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias of this city or at least two-thirds* of the rank and file, had decided to take that 22 mile "hike" to Petersburg, where the Grand Lodge would con- vene on Tuesday morning. Two companies of Pythian Cadets were among the number. The Jantor re- ported that some of the boys were there: at 12:30 that morning and others came about 2 o'clock. By 4 o'clock there was a crowd playing ball in front of the Castle. PLENTY OF REFRESHMENTS Brigadier General John Mitchell, Jr. had secured a large wagon and had it stocked with both entables and refreshments. It was 7 o'clock when the long line passed The Planet of fire and passed in review before Gen. Mitchell, who waved them adieu. The boys and many of the men wore the khaki uniform. Some of the boys were so small as to create amusement and wonder. Mr. Mitchell had become uneasy and had engaged an electric car to transport the entire party from Centralville to Petersburg, and thus cut down the journey to 11 miles. He went over to Contrailla and arrived there in time to meet them. AT THE HALF-WAY POINT The entire line reached there at five minutes to twelve. The drizzling rain had helped instead of hindered. It may be well to state, too, that the mothers of the boys and the wives of the men were at the hall to see them off. When Mr. Mitchell reached the hall in Centralia he found the boys playing ball just as though nothing had happened. They were all in good condition. All of them insisted upon completing the journey, and the order for the electric car had to be cancelled. A FINE DINNER. It was a fine Winner' that the ladies under the leadership of Captain William White spread for the tramping soldierz. Gen. Mitchell heartily engrered the dinner himself. He took the next car for the return trip to Richmond, after spending an hour in this locality, and was jubilant over the condition of things. The boys set out again for the long tramp and reached Petersburg labs in the afternoon, just as night was beginning to enshroud the earth. "The tents and cump equipage was shipped Saturday, but the men and boys were quartered in a hall until Tuesday morning. Many of them fell asleep on the instant after the fatigue march of the past day. The meeting of the colored Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythia of Virginia in Petersburg has attracted a great gathering of members of the Order in the city. The Grand Lodge is holding its sessions in Ebenezer Baptist Church, with a full representation. Members of the Order began coming in yesterday and have been pouring in today from all sections of the State. Three long excursion trains—one from Richmond and beyond, one from Norfolk and one from Roanoke—brought in companies of the Uniform Rank of the Order and crowds of friends. The colored people of the city are receiving and entertaining the visitors with gladness. The day is a holiday for the colored people, and they have decorated their houses and churches and places of business in honor of the Grand Lodge. The First and Second Regiments of the 'Uniform Rank,' or military branch of the Order, fully 1,000 strong, escorted the Grand Lodge in a parade through the principal streets this afternoon and out to the baseball park, where the companies engaged in competitive drill in the presence of many thousands of people. The parade was a very handsome affair. With five bands of music, flags flying and variegated the regiments marched with perfect discipline and precision. The brigade marched under command of General John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, who was attended by the members of his Staff—Colonels Crump, Ferguson and Wyatt and Major D. B. Cornish Tomorrow night a banquet will be given in honor of the Grand Lodge and visiting Knights. As no hall could be found in the city large enough to accommodate the big crowd at the banquet, Parke & Young, proprietors, generously surrendered the spacious floors of Moore's Warehouse for the purpose. The colored people were allowed to decorate the warehouse and place electric lights in the streets -Richmond, Va., Times Dispatch, June 22, 1911 SENATOR LUKE LEA. Gave Quart of His Blood to Save Wife's Life. Senator to Writer Rescue. Mrs. Luke Lea, wife of the senator From Tennessee, upon whom an operation was performed at the Georgentown University hospital in Washington a few days ago, became suddenly worse and Senator Lea was hastily summoned. When he arrived Senator Lea was advised by the physician that an infusion of blood was the only thing that would save the patient's life. The senator immediately submitted to an operation. Senator Lea was able to walk about the hospital with assistance and is rapidly gaining strength. It is said that nearly a quart of blood was tranfused. Mrs Lea is now thought to be on the road to recovery. Gov. Pennewill Has ivy Poisoning. Governor Pennewill, of Delaware, is a victim of poison ivy. The executive is at his home, Greenwood, suffering from extraneous poisoning due to the weed. It was stated that the governor had come into contact with the plant while inspecting the state militia camping ground at Rebohoth, Del., last Saturday. Although no fear is felt regarding his condition he suffers severe pain. Senator Warren to Wed Announcement was made in Washington of the engagement of United States Senator Francis F. Warren, of Wyoming, who is chairman of the appropriations committee, and Miss Clara Le Barton Morgan, daughter of the late John L. Morgan, of Groton, Conn. Falling Pén Kittie Convicts Four conflicts were killed, twelve mortally injured and revenge guards, and convicts more or less seriously hurt by the collapse of the bull pen in which they were housed in a mountain pass near Waynesville, N. C. Girl Beheaded by Aeroplane. A girl who was witnessing an aviation mist in Budapest was struck by one of the machines and her head covered from her body. Revision Measure Put Through by Vote of 221 to 100. President Sent Message saying Tariff Board Had Not Completed Report and He Could Not Send Data on Wool. By a vote of 221 to 100 the house of representatives at Washington has passed the Democratic wool revision bill. The announcement of the result was greeted with great applause by the Democrats, who gave Representative Undorwood, of Alabama, the majority leader, an ovation as he stood in his place to make the final motion following the formal passage of the bill. Democratic Joy was quickly changed to chagrin as Speaker Clark, taking a document from the table, announced that a message had been received from the president of two United States. In the message the president said that the tariff board had not completed its report on the wool schedule, and that for this season he found it impracticable to comply with the resolution recently passed by the house calling for the data on wool collected by the board. The president's opportune announcement that the complete wool report of the board would be forwarded to congress in December this year provoked applause among the Republicans, who jailed at the Democrats, the house as a whole having in mind assertions repeatedly made by Republicans in debate that it was unwise to attempt a revision of schedule K in advance of a scientific statement as to conditions by the tariff board. Unconsciously the president had played a joll on the Democrats. Twenty-sen Republicans jumped the reservation and voted for the Democratic bill. Most of them were insurgents, some of them near-insurgents, while two representatives, Anthony and Campbell, of Kansas, have hitherto been classed as regulars. Representative Berger, of Milwaukee, Socialist, stood by the bill, as did Representative Aken, of New York, who is not classified politically. Representative, Francis, of Ohio, who comes from a big wool district, was the only Democrat to desert his party. The last stand of the Republican against the bill was made on a motion of Representative Payne, of New York, that the measure be sent back to the committee on ways and means, with instructions to that committee to hold it until a report on the wool schedule was made by the administration board. This was defeated by a strict party vote. The wool bill goes to the senate with the prestige of having passed the house by a big majority. ADOPTS NEW GOVERNMENT City of Trenton 'Votes in Favor of Commission Form. At a special election held in the city of Trenton, N. J., the voters adopted the provisions of the Walsh act of last winter, providing for a commission form of government, with most of the radical features that are being tried out in a number of the cities of the west and south. The majority in favor of the proposition was 1902, the vote being 6792 for and 4890 against. Under the Walah act the entire present system of government will be wiped out in the city, whose affairs will be placed in complete control of an elective commission of five members, exercising both legislative and administrative functions. The commissioners will elect one of their members, who will be the putative mayor of the city. They will hold office for four years, unless the recall feature of the act should be placed in operation in the meantime. The initiative and referendum are among the other features of the act accounted upon to add to the novelty of the new scheme of government BABY HALTS STEEL PROBE Arrival In Home Called Stanley, the Chairman, Away From Washington Chairman, Away From Washington. The announcement was made in Washington a day or two ago that Representative Stanley, of Kentucky, chairman of the special house committee investigating the "steel trust," had been called home. It is a boy. At the time it was not stated why he was needed in Kentucky, but Tuesday came the telegram showing that it was one wee baby that had held up the inquiry into the affairs of the mighty corporation. Ranchmen Lynch Stockman Charles Sellers, a stockman, living several miles south of Cody, Neb., was taken from his home by neighborin ranchmen and employees and lynched. The lynching resulted from a family brawl, during which Sellers is said to have committed an offense which had caused intense indignation. Cooperative Stores For U. S. Clarks. Government clerks, of whom there are 30,000 in Washington, began a movement to organize great co-operative stores to escape the high cost of living. Child Drowned In Wash Tub.

For president of the United States—William Howard Taft, of Ohio. For vice president—William Edgar Borah, of Idaho. This is the ticket which it is learned the leaders in the movement to have President Taft succeed himself are working for. They are desirous of having Senator Borah, of Idaho, take the nomination for second place on the presidential ticket. For some days it has been going the rounds, in high political circles that the administration looked on the able young senator from Idaho with a kindly eye. But Tuesday it came out from a high source that actual overtures had been made to Senator Borah to get him to take the nomination for vice president. He has been given to understand he can have the administration support. It is admitted on all hands that Senator Borah would make an excellent running mate for President Taft, the president likes him and admires him, despite the fact that they have clashed sharply on one or two occasions, in the fight for the direct elections amendment and in other struggles in the senate Borah has proved bimself the peer in capacity of the ablest man of the senate. He is one of the foremost lawyers of that body. ) . . Among the progressives of the renato Borah is recognized as a strong factor in their cause. He is less radical than Senator LaForte, but at the same time generally votes for progressive measures.

IF GEORGE SEEKS A METEING JOHNSON WILL NOT SNUB HIM New York, June 13.—With his coronation clothes, his jewelry and his personal suite, Jack Johnson is in England ready to answer a call to the royal presence for a handshake with King George. A cablegram to the American announcing the negro champion's arrival, says: Jack Johnson arrived at the Paddington station today and was greeted by an immense throng. The police were totally unprepared for the crowd that assembled. The newspapers here had told of his coming, and it was expected there would be a crowd to catch sight of the champion prize fighter. The fact, however, seemed to have been overlooked by the police, much to the chagrin of Mrs. Hermann Coelrichs. Mrs. Oelrichs had gone to the station to meet relatives coming from Plymouth by the same; train that brought Johnson and his wife. In the rush up the platform she was carried on her feet and away from the place she wished to go. She was rescued finally from the crush that surged about Johnson. An automobile was in waiting for Johnson, and bowing his acknowledgment, smiling and showing his mouth to gold, lugging the mouthpiece of a gramaphone, Johnson shouldered his way to the machine. He guarded the eight-carat stone he wore with one hand until he was safely in the automobile. WOMAN LADEN DOWN WITH DIAMONDS Mrs. Johnson, like Johnson, was loaded down with diamonds. There was with him Tom Flanagan, brother of the hammer thrower, and his manager; Monohan and Cattler, his sparring partners, and his negro chauffeur Johnson was driven to a flat that has been rented for him in Shaftsbury avenue. White appearing hero at the Oxford Music Hall he will reside there. The reception accorded to Johnson at Plymouth, where he landed, was a great demonstration. When the German liner arrived in the harbor and the boat put out for the mall and the passengers who were coming ashore, she was surrounded by smaller craft with persons anxious to catch a sight of Johnson as he came down the gang plank of the liner to the mall boat. Five British men of war were in the brettlett harbor in the country, and all the sailors and marines who could had obtained a half day's leave to see him, as did the soldiers in the fortress. The pier awarded with "blue jackets" and "leathernecks," who greeted the champion with cheers as he came from the boat and started for the train. He shook hands with the hundreds who crowded about him. The fact that he was going to London on the mall train from Plymouth had not been lost sight of by the inhabitants of Devonshire and Oxfordshire, and they were at the station to get a sight of him and cheer. The landing place is not far from the birthplace of Bob Fitzsimons. The fact that Joftries, who had put the lanky one out of the fighting game, had been put out by Johnson, may have had something to do with the hearty welcome in the district near Cornwall WILL NOT SNUB THE KING. Johnson was dressed in a brown business suit, with brown gloves and patent leather shoes. On the train he discussed earls and dukes with the Amjican correspondent. He said he did not countenance the gala for an audience with the play in order to boost his vaudeville engagement. "If I meet the king," said Johnson. "It will be because he wants to and my friend Lord Lonsdale will arrange it. Tonight I am going to see King Henry VIII, at His Majesty's Theatre. Then I am goin' to hear Melissa. They's my taste!" Johnson, who brought two cars, said that while in London he proposed to buy another car as he wanted another, and had his chauffeur with him. On board ship Johnson kept very much to himself, according to the passengers. He ate at the small tail he prepared for him until the weather got bad and then, to avoid sitting at a long table, was served in his room. In his cabin was where he spent most of the day, and there was a poker game that was fairly continuous. He seemed sensitive to the fact that the color line was drawn very close on the skin by the passengers. Johnson opens at the Oxford Music Hall on June 26. From there he will go to Ireland for an exhibition at the Dublin Horse Show. He will stay in England until the fight with Boy Day, a Canadian, is arranged. He will be a challenger rainst put up $30,000 and make a side bet of $10,000 more. ```markdown ``` From the National Capital. William T.

Register of the Treasury J. C. Napler, is now occupying his new office on the first floor of the treasury building. It is directly under the office of the secretary of the treasury and overlooks the White House grounds. The room has been re-docorated and re-furnished, and everything is in harmony with the handsome official who occupies it. All of the other rooms of the register's office are being repainted and returned, and will be ready about July 1st. Rev. I. N. Ross, pastor of the Motropolitan A. M. E.

The committee has collected a mass of information and will prepare a report pointing out abuses. TRANSFERS FORCE TO MAIN OFFICE Order have been issued by the department at Washington authorizing the transfer of rural and city carriers and clerks of the Manchester postoffice to the Richmond office, effective July 1, when the two stations will be consolidated, as a result of annexation. Referring to the change, Postmaster Allen said yesterday that Postmaster T. H. Smith will be retained as superintendent of the office, at a salary of $1,800. As postmaster he received $2,600. However, he will be placed under the civil service, thereby making the office peremptu The three rural routes of the Washington Ward station, known as Nos. 1, 2 and 3, will after July 1 be known as 7, 8 and 9, respectively. Postmaster Allin wishes to call the attention of the public again to the matter of the direction of mail intended for delivery in Washington Ward. It should read he said, "Manchester Station, Richmond, Va." Mr Allin pointed out that this will save delay for clerks in assuring matter, and matter so directed will be consigned to the Southside direct, instead of sending to the main office, where it is likely to be held up indefinitely — Richmond Times Dispatch. SHOT MAN, THEN DROVE ON HOME After being chased last night around and around his wagon, which he had stopped at Brook avenue and Leight street, and fearing for his life, John Epps, a colored boy seventeen years old, snatched an old pistol from the wagon seat, and dired at his pursuer, Jim Hill. The bullet found its mark, crashing through Hill's left thigh and smashing both bones. The norgell fell limply to the ground, and Epps jumped into his wagon and drove rapidly away. He was arrested shortly after wards at his home by Detective Krengel. He offered no resistance, and said that he was preparing to surrender himself. The boy stated that he had blood be twisted himself and Hill for fame and that they had had counterz. Once he had been forced to strike Hill with a bottle, and the latter smashed his nose and blackened his eyes in return. Last night, as the two met again, Hill is alleged to have said, "Now I've got you," and lunged at Epps. The boy ran around his waist until he became tired and saw that the paulture would soon end and that he would be caught. Then it was that he thought of his platoot. Hill was badly wounded, and as the city ambulance was on another call he was ticker to the City Hib pital in a carriage. There he was placed in care of Dr Summerman. KERN FAVORS JAIL TERMS Stone Pile Only Cure For Trust Evils, Declares Senator. "The sentence of one trust official gullity of violating the Sherman law to the stone pile for thirty days would do more to break up trusts than the institu- tion of a thousand civil suits. The o is no prospect for relief until individ- uals shall be held personally respon- sible for their violation of the crimi- nal law" So declares John Worth Kern, Democ- ratic candidate for vice president in the last tyrannical campaign. "There is no prospect that dissolu- tion prospects against trusts under the civil sections of the Sherman law will compel the trusts to good behav- lor," he asserts.

The trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute very kindly arranged for me to spend a number of weeks in Europe last summer taking a rest. Now, I have never learned to rest in the ordinary sense of the word, and have always made my greatest effort to change in change of work and scarcity. The action of the trustees in this matter, however, gave me a chance to do something which I had long wanted to do. I had been anxious to get into that portion of the world which I had never seen, to see for myself how the "man farthest down" was living and what was being done to improve his condition, and how this condition compared with that of the average black. SIX etalol sird eaad sird man in the United States, and to see how the methods being employed in raising him up compared with the methods employed in raising up the black man in America. It is not a satisfaction to me to describe 'poerty and misery except as a means to an end. If any one who reads suggests that I saw the worst, and am tryin' to describe the worst. Instead of the best, I would state frankly that I went to Europe with the deliberate purpose of seeing and describing the worst, and not the best. Another reason that made me am tons to make this trip was that much emphasis is now being placed upon the importance of getting European immigrants into the Southern State to replace the Negro as a laborer and I wanted to see to it to extend the opportunity to likely enter into the South and adapt themselves to Southern conditions and become competitors by the side of the Negro. Perhaps the strongest reason, how ever, for my wanting to make these observations was the service which I thought I could render to my own race in this country. There are not a few Negroes who sometimes be- come the most favorable feel that condition and prospects are worse than those of any other group of human beings. I wanted to see groups of people who are much worse off than the Negro, and through detailing their condition place such facts before the Negro in America as would make him feel and see that instead of being the worst off, his prospects would be better than those of millions of people who are in the same relative stage of civilization I saw the life of the poorer classes in the East End of London and in several other of the great cities in Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia in Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia, visited the salt mines in Poland and the sulphur mines in Sicily, examined the life of a Russian village, near Copenhagen studied the wonderfulization of the concentration in Denmark, and saw much else that was of value to my purpose. I ought to state also that I could not have covered the ground or have made the observations that I did without the assistance of Dr Robert E. Park, of Boston, who has been assisting me for a number of years in my work at Taupeague Institute Dr Park is a Taupeague one of the German universities and has the advantage of an acquaintance with several European languages, and has lived and travelled in much of the territory that we covered. He preceded me to Europe by several weeks, making a preliminary survey of the route we intended to take and afterwards accompanied me upon my whole journey B T W. (First of a Series of Six Articles) —The Man at the Bottom In London The Carmania, the ship in which had sailed, disembarked its passengers late Saturday at FriGuard, on the coast of Wales. The special train which sped us on to London reached early Sunday morning. Aug 28th. As I drove from the railway station in the gray of the early morning my attention was attracted by a strange, shapeless and undisputable figure which slunk out of the shadoow of a building and moved slowly across the empty street. In that quarter of the city, and in comparison with the solid respectability and comfort represented by the houses around him, the figure of this man seemed grotesquely wretched. In fact, he struck me as the most lonely object I had as a child, and he dawned the street as far as I could see. He did not turn to the left or to the right, but moved slowly on, his head bent toward the ground, apparently looking for something he did not hope to find. In the course of my journey across the city, I poverty, but I do not think I saw anything quite so hopeless and wretched. I had not been long in London be fore I learned that this man was a type. It is said that there are ten thousand of those homeless and houseless men and women in East London alone. They are, however, not confined to any part of the city. They may be found in the fashionable West End, lounging on the benches of St. James's Park, as well as in the East End, where the masses of the laboring people live. The Salvation Army has erected shelters for them in many of the poorer areas of the city, for things from two to eight cents, they may get a room for one night, and sometimes a piece of bread and a bowl of soup. Thousands of them are not able to compass the small sum necessary to obtain even this minimum of food and comfort. These are the outcasts and the rejected. the human waste of a great city. They represent the man at the bottom of London. Later, in the course of my wanderings about the city I met many of those hopeless and broken men. I saw them sitting, on sunbath days, not on beds, also crumpled up on bench chairs stretched out on the grass of the parks; covered them on rainy nights, crouching in doorways or huddled away in dark corners where an arch or a wall protected them from the cold. I met them in the early mornings, before the city was awake creeping among the Strand and digging with their hands in the garbage houses and again, late in the afternoon on the Thomas embankment, where hundreds of them sleep—when the night watchman permits on the benches or stretched on the stone pavements. After a time I learned to distinguish the same type of disguise of those street vendors who sell street corners and sell collarbuttons, other and other trifles, stretching out their hands in a pitiful sort of supplication to passersby to buy their wares. Whenever I found an opportunity to do so, I talked with some of these outcasts. Gradually, partly from I themselves and partly from others I learned something of their histories I found that it was usually drink that had been the immediate cause of their downfall. But there were always older and deeper causes. Most of them it was hard to pass simply been borne down by the impatiens and the fierce competition of life in a great city. There comes a time when trade is dull, men who had been accustomed to spend much money begin to spend less, and there is no work to be had. At these times it is 'the less efficient, the less energetic the less strong, the less young the less regular, the less temperate or the less doleful' who are crowded out. In this way these men have lost their hold and sunk to the bottom. I remember meeting one of these men when meeting undergoing along the Thames embankment the course of my conversation with I asked him, among other things, if he voted, and if so, to what political party he belonged. He looked at me in amazement and then he said he had never voted in his life. It was his expression rather than his words that impressed this expression told me how out of the world he had lived in the world about him. He had in fact, as famally learned, no family, no friends or trade, he belonged to no society, he had, so far as I could learn, no views on life in the very midst of this great city he was as solitary as a hermit. A few weeks later, in a little village he asked the same question of a Polish peasant, "Oh, yes" he eagerly replied, "every one votes here now." Sixty years ago most of the peasants in this village to which I have referred were serfs, and it was not until two years ago that the government gave them all the right to vote. Novettheless, at the present time the villagers are represented by one of their number in the Imperial Parliament if I stopped on my way through the village at the little store kept by this man I found two young girls tending the store, his daughters, but the representative himself was not at home. I do not know why I should mention the circumstance here, except that I was impressed by the contrast in the reply to two men, one coming from a present in Poland and the other from an Englishman in London. It is generally said that the Negro represents in America the man far most down in going to Europe I had in mind to compare the masses of the Negro people of the South with the masses in Europe in some thing like the same state of civilization. It would not be difficult to the Polish people of the South with the Polish people for example, because the masses of the Poles are like the masses of the Negroes, an agricultural people. I know no class among the Negroes in America, however, with whom I could compare the man at the bottom in England Whatever one may say of the Negro in America, he is not, as a rule, a beggar It is very rarely that any one sees a black hand stretched out for alms. One does see, to be sure, too many and loading Negroes standing on the corners around the railway stations, on the south, but the Negro is not, as a rule, an ate. If he is at the bottom in America it is not because he has gone backward and sunk down, but he cause he has never risen. Another living in regard to the Negro although he is frequently poor, he is never without hope and a certain joy in living. No hardship he has yet encountered, either in slavery or in freedom, has robbed the Negro of the desire to live. The race constantly grow and increased in slavery, and it has considerably more than doubled in freedom. There are some people among the members of the who complain about the hardships which occur to them, but none of them yet, so far as I know, has ever recommended "race suicide" as a solution of the race problem. I mention this because I found just the contrary to be the case in England. I do not think that anything I saw or heard while I was in England gave me a more polignant impression of the hardships of the laboring man in. England than the discovery that one of the most widely read weekly papers in England, under the caption of "The. White Slaves of Morality," was making a public campaign in favor of reduce- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. ing the also of the families among of sickness or some other reason, no colored, but from white Americans the working classes. The articles I refer to, which were written by a woman, were a protest, on the one hand, against the clergy, because they taught that it would be immoral for women to refuse to hand, against them, and on the other hand, against physicians who withheld from them knowledge by which they might be able to limit the size of their families. These articles were followed from week to week by letters purporting to come from working men and women telling of the heart-breaking struggle they were making at the children on the wages they were on. What made these articles the more starfilling the fact that, at the very time when they were proposing to the English inborer what ex-president Roosevelt had defined as "race suicide" thousands of immigrants from the south of Europe nothing into London every year to take the last vacant by the recession of the world. On my previous visit to England I had been struck by what seemed to me the cold and formal character of the English newspapers. It seemed to me that they were wholly lacking in my interest. Upon my last visit my nation in regard to the London newspapers I would eradically altered.' A careful study of the daily newspaper. I found, will repay any one who wants to get an insight into actual conditions in England. It not been in London more than a day or two, for example, when my attention was attracted to the following item in one of the morning papers. STARVING FAMILY Coroner's Appeal to the Public For Aid. Telling of a terrible case of starvation in the Stoke Newington Coroner's Court, Wryn Wescott, the coroner asked the press to bring a deserving case before the notice of the charitable public. He said that he had hold an inquest upon a three-weeks-old baby which died of starvation. "It its father had had no regular work for years, and only a little casual work in the garden. There was so little money that the mother, Mrs Attewell of White Hole street, Newington, was half starved to the bone. She had only had a crust of bread to sustain her on the day her child died, although she had done nine and a half hours' washing to assist the one. The home was perfectly clean, although practically desirate of furniture. It was a most deserving case. After reading this item I began studying the papers more closely, and I was surprised at the frequency with which items of this kind occurred. I learned that the local Government Board, which is represented in the English Cabinet by Mr John Burns, has issued since 1571 an annual report, or return, as is called, of the cases in which, upon an investigation by a corporation's person, happens that the persons came to the death in London as a result of starvation obtained a copy of the return for 1908 in which are included the statistic on starvation not merely for London but for the rest of England and Wales. the forms issued to coroners were explicit. They provided that the return should include only cases in which the Jury find that death is about by starvation or privation, not about incarction cases in which death was caused by cold starvation exposure, etc. by cold starvation exposure, etc. by cold starvation exposure, etc. not entered in this return. Of the 125 cases of starvation reported, 52 occurred. In London in 11 cases death was described as due to starvation in connection with some other cause, that is, disease, drink, exposure or self neglect. Of the 255 cases no application was made for poor relief or application was made only when the deceased had been in a dying condition. A few days after I had succeeded in getting this report my attention was attracted one morning by the heading of a newspaper article 'How the Poor Die.' The article points to the finding of the body of an unknown woman in a collar in the basement house not very far from where I was. Not infrequently, when in my pub he speeches I have made some reference to the condition of the Negro in the South, certain members of my own race in the North have objected because, they said, I did not paint conditions in the South black enough. During my stay in England, that the unusual experience of being criticized the London newspapers for the same time by an American white man. At the very moment that this man attacked me because in my public interviews I emphasized the opportunities rather than the wrongs of the Negro in the South I had in my possession the document to which I have referred, which gives the official history of fifty-two persons, and of every week in the year, who has died in the city of London alone for want of food. I have never denied that the Negro in the South frequently meets with wrongs and injustice; but he does not start to think a single call was over hard to the South, where a Negro Used from want of food. In fact, unless because of sickness on some other reason; he has a work. It is comparatively rare to find a Negro in an almshouse. it has not been my purpose in anything I have written to pass judgment upon the people or the conditions that I have found in the countries which I have visited. Criticism is an ungrateful task at best and one for which I will not well tolerate shall I attempt to offer any suggestions as to how conditions may be improved—in fact I am convinced from what I learned that the people on the ground understand conditions much better than I possibly could, and in a later article I hope to tell something of the great work that has been done in England and elsewhere to raise the level of life and comfort among the people who are at the bottom of the countries which I visited. What are the reasons for emphasize songs of the advantages which it spit out the members of my own race, and particularly those living in the Southern States, have at the present time. It is not difficult to discover the disadvantages under which the Negroes in the South labor. Every traveler who passes through the South sees the conditions existing, and frequently writes about those. There is an opportunity to which I have referred will be overlooked or not fully appreciated by the members of my race until it is too late. One direction in which the Negro in the South has an advantage is in the matter of labor. One of the most pitiful things I saw in London, Liverpool and other English cities were the groups of idle men standing about on the street cornors, especially around the barrooms, because they were not able to get work. One day as I was going along one of the main avenues of the city I notched an unusually large crowd which was in front of a street organ which was a saw the side of the pavement. Founding to see that there was about this organ that traced so much attention and interest, I found that the man who owned this instrument was using it as an advertisement. He was advertising his poverty. All over the front of the organ were plastered papers and documents of various kinds. On one side there was a list of advertisements cut from the "Want" columns of the daily newspapers. Attached to this was a statement that these were some of the people who visited the day before in search of food which he was not able to find. On the other side of the organ were attached six or seven pawn tickets, with the statement that these are some of the articles which my dear wife pawned to get food for our children. This was followed by a pitiless appeal for help. The pathetic thing about this is that only persons who stopped to look at these exhibits besides myself were a group of hungry and disreputable looking men who were evidently in just as great want as the man who ground the organ. I watched those men. After reading the signs they would look inquiringly at the other memoir into the group and then relapse into the group and then silence which I had noticed so many times in the forlorn figures that filled the benches of the parks It seemed to me that they both pitied and admitted the man who had conceived this novel way of adverting his misfortune I have not noticed, these same people in other places where it seemed to me they looked at something like envy upon a baker who was blind or a lame or had some interesting misfortune which enabled him to win the sympathy of the public. Of course, the persons that I have attempted to describe here and in other portions of this article do not represent the laboring classes. They represent the man at the bottom; but it is the man at the bottom, who is begging or casual 'Iabor. It shows how the struggle for existence among the laboring class higher up, from which the class below is constantly recruited. While I was in London I received letters from a great many persons of all classes and conditions. One of these was from a colored man who was born and raised in the south and was anxious to get back passages and am tempted to quote some passages and will illustrate here, because they will illustrate additional passages impressed a colored man from South who got closer to actual conditions than I was able to. He had been living, he said. In London for fourteen months without work I have tried to apply for work," he continued. "They said they want Englishmen. It seems to me that all Britons are against the Negro own country. Go back to your own country, know it. I had the means I would fly tomorrow. Perhaps I would no better to quote some passages from his letter verbatim. He says. I cannot get a passage, to be alone in London without any help or funds like a pin in a haystack, nothing but sorrow and distress. Hearing Mr. B. T. Washington were in London I appeal to him in the name of God Almighty if he can possibly help me with a ticket to get across, because the lady that was kind enough to give me a shelter in without fund women, being Christian woman who gave food to them can afford. At night I have to have a house with a widow which has two children which has to make her living by chopping wood, whom some day, does not earn enough to buy a loaf of bread for her children. The winter is coming on and I like to get home to shuck corn or to get to Maryland for a oyster draggin. It is a long time since I was watermelon pig's feet and corn. Bay, Mr. Washington, if you ever knew what a hole and the oyster I guess am in a hole and the pork chops and the corn can be, and the hot blasts caulms me to come over and get some, and many a time I have tried but failed. I can't reach them; the great Atlantic Ocean stops me, and I remain YOUR OBEDIENT SERVANT. This letter from which I have given a few extracts is but one .of many which I received during my stay in .London, not only from polarized, but from) white, Americans come to England to betray their condition for) seek their fortune. These letters served still further to impress me, with the fact that the masses of my own people in the South do not fully appreciate the advantages which they have in living in a country where there is a constant demand for labor of all kinds. If I were asked what I believed would be the greatest boon that could be conferred upon the English labourer, so that it would be for him to have the same opportunities for constant and steady work that the Negro now has in the South. If I were asked what would be the next greatest benefit that could be conferred upon the English laborer, I should say that it would be to have schools in which every class could learn to do, in other words, well to have, in the sense of industrial education that the seeking, in some measure, to give to the Negro at the present time in the Southern States. RELICS OF THE MAINE. Fittings Recovered After Pumps Lowered Water Around Wreck. © 1911 by American Press Association Pumping Will Be Resumed In Presence of Bixby. The pumping of water out of the corerdam around the wreck of the battleship Maine in Havang harbor will be resumed next Thursday. To be present when the pumping begins Brigadier General William Bixby, chief of engineers, has left Washington for Havana. The process of clearing the water from around the wreck will take several days. The pumping will be done cautiously in order that the great dam may not become weakened. To avoid any strain the engineers will make an examination of the dam after the removal of every five feet of water. STOPS TRAIN AND SAVES DROWNING BOY STOPS TRAIN AND SAVES DROWNING BOY Stopping the train when he saw a small boy drowning in the Suquehanna river near Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Frederick Stoker, a driver, Dawna Kwanna & Western work train brake man, jumped from the train, plunged into the river and rescued the boy. The youngster, a boy of about ten years, had gone in bathing alone and the current of the river, which had swollen by recent rains, seized him and swept him away. Stoker and his cries for help as the train approached him and told the engineer to put on a helmet and run to a point ahead of the boy. There was a lively race for a minute, some twenty five yards ahead of the boy Stoker jumped off and plunged in and got the boy to shore after a struggle. The lad was soon revived. WOMAN MURDERED.IN HOME Found Strangled to Death With Tow els Around Her Throat. Mrs. William W. Simmons, twenty six years of age, of White Plains, N. V. wife of an engineer on the Harlem railroad, was found strangled to death at her home here by a neighbor. Two towels were found tied about the dead woman's neck, both of which were double knotted at the back, showing that the murderer had meant to make no mistake. The woman's husband at the time she met her death was on a trip. Two daughters of Mrs. Simmons, aged four and six years, slept in an adjoining room while the murderer strangled their mother. MAN DEAD, WIFE ARRESTED Woman Plunged a Fork Into His Breast. Mrs. Julia Glucos is under arrest for having killed her husband, Joseph Glucos, near Bath, Northampton county, Pa.

The United States senate passed the resolution proposing an amendment to the federal constitution providing for the election of senators by direct vote. The action of the senate marked the successful culmination of an effort that has extended over more than a quarter of al century to bring this question before the state legislatures. The resolution was passed by the gen-ate by a vote of 64 to 24, two-thirds of those present, of 69, being necessary to carry the proposition. The resolution as adopted, however, carried with if the so-called Bristow amendment, which will necessitate its return to the house of representatives, which had already passed it. If the house acts favorably upon the resolution in its amended form, which seems likely, it will go to the states for ratification as an amendment to the United States constitution. The Bristow amendment retains to the federal government power over the manner, time and place of holding elections for United States senators. The southernners opposed the amendment on the ground that it would give the federal government power to interfere with the so-called grandfather's clauses of the constitution of the southern states. The vote on the Bristow amendment was a tie, 44 to 44, and Vice President Sherman cast the vote which tacked the amendment to the resolution. Upon the vice president may eventually rest the responsibility for the failure of the resolution, for southern senators declared that it would never be adopted in its present form by the legislatures of southern states. These are the senators who voted against the resolution on the final passage. Bacon, Bankhead, Brandegee, Burnham, Crane, Dillingham, Fletcher, Poster, Gallinger, Heyburn, Johnston, Lippit, Lodge, Lorimer, Oliver Page, Penrose, Porcy, Richardson, Smoot, Terrell, Williams and Wetmore.

The child is Anna Garry, whom Chief Killeen arrested and who confessed after an hour of questioning, that she had robbed six houses during the last week and had hidden her plunder under several porches, one at her own home and the others nearby. She had sneaked into the houses when the people were out or were occupied in the front or back Killed and Buried Wife. Marshall Taylor, of Freeman, near Farmington, Maline, who was arrested, following the discovery of the body of his murdered wife buried in a shallow grave behind the house, confessed that he committed the crime. Taylor said that he killed his wife on the night of May 12 and buried the body immediately in a trench he dug almost on the spot where she fell. Taylor said that he had frequent quarrels with his wife of late and determined to get rid of her. On the night in question he induced her to take a walk through the woods behind the house, taking his shotgun along. When she stepped in front of him he fired one shot at her head from very close range, killing her instantly. Then he dig a grave, placed the body it, and after filling in the earth cut apiece boughs with which he covered the newly turned earth Bryan's Daughter Weds.

Safe Blowers Wreck Village The village of French Creek, about twenty-two miles from Elkins, W. Va. with the exception of a few houses, is a mass of anouildering ruins, following the blowing up of the postoffice building by a charge of dynamite. The loss will exceed $300,000. There is no clue to the incendiaries and the burglar who blow open the postoffice safe. Passes are accourting the hills in search of them.

The Reformed church at Oswrigbaugh was struck and burned. A residence at Liewolyn was also burned as a result of being fired by the Uplifting. LIVE STOCK Stable Manure is Necessary For Fertilizing in Conjunction With the Artificial Product. It has been said that in a certain county, in New Jersey the farmers keep no live stock of any kind except a team of horses, but no stable manure from the towns, use only the chemical manures, well most of their products and yet maintain unabated the fertility of their farms. If this be true it would show the wonderful value of the fertilizers employed and it would be interesting and instructive to know the cost per acre of the fertilizers used so successfully. Then we could judge of the amount of their profits and the desirability of that system of farming. Taking it for granted that their land was good to begin with and that they used the "complete" fertilizers, there would still be the need of supplying humus, a necessary ingredient of the soil not supplied by the chemical fertilizers. That land from which crops are constantly taken must be manured to prevent impoverishment has been known, and manuring has been practiced by farmers in all ages of the world. That keeping cattle to supply manure is necessary to successful farming and that farms are"likely to become barren without them have been believed ever since ancient times. The live cattle and dressed meats which have been exported into Great Britain from America and Australia have greatly injured the cattle industry there, which was once one of the Indispensable to Good Farming. chief supports of its agriculture. Bittons still raise large numbers of the improved breeds of cattle and sheep, but do not expect to make a profit on the cattle and think themselves fortunate in having so much as the manure left to pay for their trouble in raising and fattening the stock. The farmers of Great Britain with out exception have the improved breeds of cattle, and there is no question that these improved breeds make a faster growth and fatten easier than our natives, and get mumps of our farmers still cling to the degenerate stock Grimt that our natives are longer to endure exposure and neglect, which is not conceded, and it might recommend them for the runners of Texas or Montana, but not for the farmers in the north and east, who need a breed which with good care and plentiful food will grow fast and fatten easily when still young. On grass that costs the ranchers nothing and on cheaper corn for fat, tending cattle can be raised at less cost in the west than in the east. Cattle in the east must be of the improved breeds and be kept growing without check from birth until sold under two years of age. It is well known to feeders that all animals gain flesh faster when young on the same amount of food, and the aim of the eastern feeder must be to crowd the growth of his animals while young. Ferding the Breed Marm Feeding the brood more is a simple matter, yet at all times requires judgment. She should work steadily at moderately heavy work. Constant, uniform work with right feeding is the thing. Her food should be somewhat different from that given the average work horse. Brain should enter somewhat more largely in. Clover hay, free from dust and mold, should figure rather prominently in the ration. Roots should in some small measure form part of her food. She should be kept in fair doshi and improving rather than losing in weight Colts Need Exercise. Growing colts should always have a smooth, roomy lot in which to exercise and should be given the run of this inclosure summer and winter. Plenty of exercise and fresh air and sunshine are essential to the best development of any animal. This does not mean that colts should be left unprotected during the cold winter nights. They should either have free access to a warm shed or, better still, be tied up nightly in stalls. The handling of the colt cannot begin too early. Movable Pigpen. Movable pigs are very convenient in grazing pigs. In this way a crop may be grazed without loss and the pigs confined in the pen at the same time. This is a common practice in Europe and will doubtless be more popular in this country as population increases and land becomes dear. Baby In Family Horse Never buy a horse for family use where the women folks are to drive him without at least one week's trial. If he is put through all his paces and sent up against steam engines and other scary things he will develop his good and bad traits in that time. CARING FOR BROOD SOWS. Nature Must Be Allowed to Take Its Course—Breeders Should. Be Careful to Provide Proper Food. There are several things that enter into the attention and care of the brood sow that may seem trivial, yet they have much to do with the comfort, thrift and profit of the animal. The hog raising business is a profitable one, and the profit for the year to come will depend largely upon the cure given the brood sow. It should be remembered that the brood sow is merely a plig factory, and the quality of the product depends to a very great extent on the raw material that is furnished. The best results cannot be expected from a sow that has been allowed to follow feeding steers or has been fed but little other feed than corn. She requires material of a character similar to that of the product, which is not carbohydrate, but albuminous; not fat, but flesh. The pligs will be coming in a very short time, and it is needless to say Duroc-Jersey Hogs. that the brood sow should be given a comfortable pen as easily as possible, well ventilated, reasonably warm and always dry; that she should be placed in this pen a week or two before the date of farrowing in order that she may feel at home and be quite comfortable away from other pligs; that she ought to become accustomed to her owner so that in case any help is necessary at farrowing time she will not become nervous or irritable. It is very essential that her bowls are in first class condition. They should not be coagulated nor the reverse but normal. If the sow's bowls are not in good condition she should be fed a little corn or oilmeal. The sow will show little, if any, inclination for food the first day after farrowing and will need none. A litter likewakewater is all she will need. The next day the feed should be light, no corn. The third day is often the critical period, and the feed should be light, no corn, but out, shorts and clover hay if she cares for it. By this time the pigs have been getting down to business, and after that the feet may gradually be increased. These little follows should by all animals have sunlight and plenty of it. It will well to study nature. The brood sow, when left to herself and with free run of the farm, seeks retirement at this critical period, builds her own nest in a sheltered place near water and is very likely to surprise her owner by coming home about the third or fourth day with a fine litter of little prickets. --- Care of Brood Mares In Winter. Brood mares during the winter prevails to foaling. If not worked daily, should be kept in an open yard tethered from storms. Daily exercise is very important to them during this period. Mares that are not in the harness during the winter should have free access to a rack filled with fresh straw or hay. With a few ears of corn daily. This is an economical as well as a safe way to feed mares during the winter. Moldy Corn Produces Staggers. The Kansas experiment station has just issued a bulletin giving results of experiments to determine the cause of blind staggers in horses. It is not certain which micro organism present in molly corn produces the trouble, but it comes from that kind of corn. No matter which one is responsible we can avoid it by feeding only sound grain to horses and using molly stuff for less sensitive animals. If it is used at all. Bation Eq: Development Corn is a good grain diet for work horses, but coils and young horses should have feed containing more protein and mineral matter. Clover hay, oats and brain are good feeds for growth and early development. Some corn and timothy hay may be fed. LIVE STOCK NOTES The shelter of awine may, be about as cheaply made as that which is made for our sheep. What the farmers want is a bug that will give the best returns for the feed which is given him, either big type or little type. For sleeping quarters the hogs should have warm, dry beds provided for them, and they will show their appreciation of the treatment. Make a feeding platform for the hogs eight inches high, with a two inch protecting board all around to keep the feed out of the mud. A variety of pasture and feed makes a pig thrifty, and he will take on flesh faster than where he is fed on corn and confined in a dirty pen. Don't try to winter fall pigs without good provision for shop. Resides the feeding value, the stop encourages the pigs to drink freely, which is desirable in cold weather. Keep the sows and pigs away from fattening hogs and give them the feeds that produce flesh and bone rather than fat. Shorts are more economical feed for sows and growing pigs than corn.

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 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 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 if 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 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.

An Open Letter to President Taft Race Prejudice in the United States Army. President William Howard . Taft Executive Mansion, Washington. D. C. Dear Sir, - Permit me on my own behalf and on behalf of the National ludegenden League to tank you for the stand, to against race prejudice in the army of the United States, of which you are Commander-in-Chief. Both I and the league I represent stand for equal rights and opportunities for all American citizens, and we feel it our duty to comment any man or set of men who stand for the same principle. We would beg to remind Your Excellency of the prejudice which now exists and has existed for more than forty years against the colored men in the army and navy of the United States, and to appeal to you as the commander of the land and naval forces of our country to use your intelligence good offices in helping to banish the hydra headed monster from the army and navy of our beloved country You will agree with me that the United States has no more loyal brave, competent and self-sacrificing soldiers than the colored men who have been and who are now enlisted in the army of this country, and yet few, if any, in the four colored regiments have ever been put into the commissioned officers and the commissioned men for promotion to the position of second lieutenant in the regular army which you have ordered, and which appeared in the public press June. 5th does not contain the name of a single colored soldier, nor have we seen the name of any such soldier in any list for examination which has been ordered by you since your incumency of the office of Executive of the nation. We cannot expect you to party to race prejudice in the United States army, nor do we believe that in the four regiments of colored soldiers in the United States army there are no enlisted men who are capable of passing the examination for second lieutenant. It must be that your failure to order such men before the examining board of the army for promotion is an oversight, and we believe you simply need to attend the examination to your attention and you will in the give colored soldiers, as well as soldiers of Jewish or Hebrew extraction the same opportunity afforded white soldiers I am yours for equal rights and opportunities for all American citizens.

There are more registered voters in the county than have been for a number of years, but the more important are the papers or a form letter that he must send and desire the support of the people is not sufficient. If there is a good reason why he should be elected, it is worth the telling. If there be one or more reasons why the old officeholder should be put aside and new ones taken up, now is the time to tell the voters will prick up their ears and listen. The lecturer sent here Sunday by the Reformers to line up the scattered sheep might have done some good, but everybody was gone to Mossingford.

Fletcher, of Florida, today sounded a warning note against the radicalization of the bill for the election of Senators by the people. Declaring that unless the logis- tics of the several States reject the imposition of the Britain amend- ment the South will upstay her elec- tive franchise, and all the rights and liberties that naturally follow in sees trouble ahead for the people of the South. "I am in favor of the election of Senators by popular vote." Senator Fletcher said, "The people have a right to say who shall serve them in the United States Senate. I voted against the final adoption of the resolution, which was a substitute for the original adopted or a tie vote, and I voted for the amendment, and I joined in the Senate. This amendment that the legislature will reject it. The Bristow amendment has the effect of giving the Federal government authority to say "when, where and in what manner" the elections for Senators shall be held. This is the objectionable feature. It simply means that the States shall surrender the control of their political affairs to the government of the United States, and I am opposed to it. I believe we are able to govern on own elections in the South without the aid or supervision of Federal authorities. "There is every reason to believe that both branches of Congress will be Democratic in the next two years, and then we can submit this proposition in a way that will not mean a proposal that might prevent the Southern States from regulating the franchise. The Democrats were practiced in opposition against the Brisbane amendment. The Democrats gave the Federal authorities powers not now claimed over the choices of Senator far reaching and by many of them voted for the resolution after the adoption of this amendment, believing that the Legislatures should take the responsibility of ratifying or rejecting it. This was not my idea at all. I think we should meet responsibilities as they come, and not pass them on to some one who holds Senate in Florida by popular vote. The Federal authorities have nothing with such elections. Why should we surrender our absolute control of such elections and give to Congress the power to regulate the time, place and manner of electing Senators? It is argued that other States should be favored by adding the amendment. The first place I answer let those States be the primary election laws, as we have done. In that place, our experience is the South, and we look out for herself, and if the time should come, as it has in the past, when she needed friends, she would find many of those name States giving their sympathy perhaps, but not their assistance. The best friend the South has is the South. She has in the past, but there are some things she must not give up—one of them is the regulation of the franchise." P. H. McG The Negro Question. Washington. June 15 — Notwithstanding their based opposition to the Bristow amendment providing for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people on the Senate, and it would permit Federal interference in states having negro disfranchisement laws, many of the Southern Senators are receiving inquiries as to its effect. Most of the replies along the same line as the speeches, Indicates apprehension that in case the amendment is engrafted into the Constitution as amended by M7. Bristow it might enact such legislation as the "forgot bill" of twenty years ago. As the bill passed the House it vested complete control of senatorial elections in the various State Legislatures. The Bristow provision knocks out that section and gives Congress the same control in the election of Senators by their election by the State legislatures, and that it has over the election of members of the national House of Representatives. It is contended that under this authority, if it itw saw fit, Congress could appoint Federal registrar and a commissioner with troops if necessary. It is admitted generally that the possibility of the exercise of such power is remote, but those who opposed the commission should not be even remotely taken. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The debate by the Y.

State Bank Examiner J K Doughton is in charge of what assets remain and the bank has been closed. Both Hart and Hussey are members of prolament fami- The State Bank of Tarboro is capitalized at $25,000. It was reported to have $20,000 surplus and $200,000 undivided profits. Deposits amount to more than $200,000. The institution was considered one of the soundest in this section of the State Business, was being conducted as usual this morning, when the State counsel, Mr. Doughton, appeared on one hour's notice. An hour later, it is said, Mr. Doughton made some alarming discoveries, and at once wired C. V. Brown, his assistant, to hurry to Tarboro. WIFE HEARS FATAL SHOT Cashier Hart left for home at his regular luncheon hour. On the way he met a business acquaintance and made an engagement for the afternoon. On his arrival at home he greeted the members of his family as usual and went to his room. Shortly afterward the other members of his household were startled by the report that his son rushed to Hart's room and found him conscious and dying. He breathed his last at 4 o'clock, without regaining his sonas. The bullet, fired into his right temple, asd through his head. His wife was first in the room after he shot himself. Shortly after noon Hussay was arrested on a charge of embeasement. He was subsequently released on $15,000. He the sheriff of Edgembe county for finishing the bond. Both Hart and Hussay are allowed to have been concerned in the reported misappropriations. Work on the bank's books is proceeding as rapidly as possible. A State official said this afternoon that the discrepancy would amount to more than $50,000, but would give no further particular pledging the result of investigations. An official statement will be issued as soon as possible. There is no doubt that the bank has suffered a crushing blow, as if it is much speculation as to whether it is resuming business. Hart had recently been involved in numerous business cases which involved large sums of money, and it is believed a series of failures was responsible for his act. Speculation in futures, it is thought, played no part in that tragedy. Hart was 35 years old. He is re- lated to several of the most pro- minent families in eastern North Car- roha.
