Solid Rock Herald) From what it believes to be a reliable source, the Herald is informed that the whereabouts of R. T. Hill, alloged defaulting cashier of the True Reformers' Bank of Richmond, Va., have become known to certain detectives, and who demand IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES It is unofficially reported that there have already been some important disclosures as a result of this examination. It is presumed that the work will be completed within four weeks' time. The Board of Directors met here last Monday morning. Those present are A. W. Holmes, Grand Worthy Master; Rev. W. L. Anderson, Vice-Grand Worthy Master; W. P. Burrell, Grand Worthy Secretary; Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. Joseph Ward, A. Humbless, of Lynchburg; W. R. Griffin, of Washington; Floyd Ross, of St. Louis, Mo.; Dr. John E. Merlweather, Treasurer; Mrs. Rosa Thompson, Philadelphia, Pa. LESS THAN TEN THOUSAND. The vote disclosed the fact that Grand Worthy Master A. W. Holmes was supported by Messrs. Johnson, Ward, Burrell, Anderson and Mrs. Thompson, giving the administration a majority of two. The forces led by Chief Griffin determined to force matters to the extent of having the afflicted guilty officials indicted, prosecuted and sued at once. Grand Master A. W. Holmes and his friends are urging delay for one cause of another. It has finally leaked but that instead of raising the $97,000 demanded by the Commission of Insurance, the Commission of Insurance, Joseph Button, only $9,900 was raised, and $2,600 of this amount was raised in gifts, entertainments, etc., by the office force of this city. MANY THOUSANDS SHORT. Still the impression was given out that the entire amount had been raised, while as a matter of fact they failed by that $27,000. That hold thanksgiving services without stating the exact truth, although Hon. Jos. Button was generous enough to grant to them a renewal of the license. This species of decoration is not tending to help the Order, for even the able Commissioner of Insurance is regarding with suspicion some of the officers of the Order whom he has hitherto trusted. HOT TIMES THERE. There were hot times at the session of the Board of Directors last Monday. The alteration between Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, D. D., and Dr. John B. Merlweather was spitified, and might have led to blows. Dr. Merlweather was disgusted and wrathy. Chief Griffin and his supporters will soon appear before the grand jury of the Hustings Court. Mr. John W. Lewis, a real estate agent of Washington, D. C., has been charged with the murder was thoroughly disgusted. He had arranged a loan of $25,000 to pay on the note past due and save the True Reformers' Hall in Washington from the auctioneer's hammer, but Grand Worthy Master Holmes and the True Reformers' officials wouldn't sign the banners. dria, Va., chief, was also a "hot" proposition. He is anxious to have something done at once. He made some charges which were it not for the fact that they are to be presented to the grand fury, would be given in full in these columns. Sufficient to say, he addressed a communication to Commonwealth's Attorney Minetree Folkes, in which speaking for Alexandria Division, United Order of True Reformers, and the depositors of the True Reformer's Savyoga Bank, he says, that on the day the receivers took charge R. T. Hill was seen carrying a large traveling bag and another True Reformer official was walking close behind him. Still another one, carrying a large book, followed. Two of the leading True Reformer officials met the others at the First National Bank of Richmond. . THAT IRON SAFE. A sworn statement of these facts is on the hands of W. R. Grillm, on Washington, D. C. He further aloged that an iron safe was carried (Continued on Page Number) FOUR. SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY OF VIRGINIA (INC.)

Kemp, Sr., and wife, also No. 200 and 202 East Clay street. No. 511 and 511 1-2 North Second street. paying about Fifteen Thousand (15,000) Dollars for the five buildings and lots. The Kemp estate will be rendered into two modern flats, carrying all modern conveniences. The other properties, though new and improved, will be rendered more modern. The purchase was purely speculative for investment purposes. The renting of these properties will be in the hands of the popular Real Estate Agent, Mr. B. A. Cophas. Don't forget the Maine! But please remember that July 11th is the date of Astoria Beneficial Club's excursion to Buckroo Beach. Knights of Pythia's (Index-Appal, June 22, 1911) The colored Knights of Pythias, attending the annual encampment of their State lodge here this week, must represent the finest class, of their race. The manner in which the visitors—and there were many hundreds of them from every section of the State—conducted themselves would have done credit to any white convention of similar size where there was no disorder traceable to the convention, no drunkenness, nothing which the most censorious could criticize. The white citizens of Petersburg will testify to the orderliness and general good behavior of the colored visitors. They were a credit to their races. Everybody is going! On a Monday, too. Blue Monday; how about it (the refreshments on the train. Leave the refreshments troubles at home. July 27—Buckroe. Hill Reported Found. (Philadelphia, Pa. Solid Rock Herald) From what it believes to be a reliable source, the Herald is informed that the whereabouts of R. T. Hill, allied defaulting cashier of the "True Reformers' Bank of Richmond, Va., have become known to certain detectives, and who demand a reward of five hundred dollars to produce him to the civil authorities. This demand is put up to the executive board of the Order, so our information goes, and the chiefs of the various divisions are being confidentially instructed to assist in raising the amount in order to make sure of Hill's apprehension. In some quarters the order is meeting with resistance by members of various "Fountains," who hold that those who were more closely identified with the interests of the Reformer organization should, protect the Order's interest in the premises without making the affair a further burden to individual members, whom they assured is long before the disaster that everything was all right. As to the authenticity of Hill's capture, the details of Hill's very mugge up to the time of going to press, we cannot, of course, verify, but our informant is closely identified with the Order's interest, and claims that his information ample through an official source. Should developments justify further details our future issues will contain such facts in the case, interesting to the public, as they come under our observation. . We leave on time 8:30 Monday July 17. No use to wait until it gets hot. Diving Stunt New Orleans, T.A., June 23, 1911. Mr. J. L. Murchison, chlof diver, is enroute for Alabama on diving business and expects to make a large collection job for two years' work, after paying up all expenses. There may be a good surface to accomplish commencing affairs. Mr. Murchison is now engaged on a long diving job for 3 firms, and will make work for many laborers. Mr. Murchison will make good with all his work, being thoroughly familiar with his business. Fourth of July Excursions Season 1911. Southern Railway announces very low round-trip fares from all points on its lines, account Fourth of July Holiday. Tickets on sale July 17 to 4th, inclusive; final limit returning July 8, 1911. Consult ticket agent or write S. E. Burges, D. P. A., Richmond, Va. 5 or 6 doses "GGG" will cure any case of Chills and Fever, - Price, 25c. Huntington (W. Va.) News. Mr. G. F. B. Boston has opened up a very industrial printing office in the city of Huntington, W. Va. His prospects seem to be 'bright' for his business. Time is sufficient to tell all things what his prospects will be. Chief Griffin Speaks. (SPECIAL TO THE PLANET FROM WASHINGTON.) Colonel Joseph Button, Insurance Commissioner, will meet the Board of Directors of the Grand Fountain at 10 o'clock. A. M. Next Monday, June 28th, at which time every member is expected to be present. The first official request given to the Richmond Detective Bureau with the offer of $100 reward was given to that department by Dr. Jno. Met- weather, of Richmond, and myself at 4 o'clock P. M. June 16th, for the arrest of R. T. Hill. I have sent similar copies to every chief, with a request for the chief's signature, to be attached, and the season to be turned over to the police department, asking them to join in the hunt to the murder case. I have been earlier in the month. Mr. Hill has been located, but the parties furnish the information desired a larger roward. True Reformers, think for a moment, Mr. Hill's shortage together with the shortage of money spent by him belonging to the Grand Fountain will reach $50,000. If the True Reformers will take up the hunt in earnest in every town indirectly while the Board of Directors are taking special care of his associates at home, no detective bureau would be so effective as the Reformers' Detective Burden. If we wait for the police department or the detective bureau to find him the reward will go to them. Whoever finds him, the reward will go to that party. The citizens of Richmond and contributing members of the Order are questioning the similarity of our own officers because of their delay in taking steps in bringing the guilty to justice. Let the chiefs and deputies and members put their shoulders to the wheel, keep your dues up and bring the old members back and put new members in, and keep this thing intact. I see a brighter day in the very near future for the Grand Fountain. This Board is called for strictly business purposes, the results of which will be measured and felt by those most interested in the future existence of the Grand Fountain. The citizens' meeting held in the True Reformers' Hall last Friday at 604 North Second street, was called by your humble servant to test the sentiment of the Richmond people. Let me say right here, the best people of Richmond are with those of us who stand out with uncovered heals in an honest effort to uncover every questionable act and let the jury pass upon the culit or innocence of every man. Let the membership stand firm, send the money into the main office that the payment of death claims may continue, while the battle of right against wrong is being waged. Mr Hill carried a bond of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). Remember this company has offered no reward for the cashier which shows on its fae sooomething is terribly wrong in some quarters but the truth will be told. We have waited for eight months; now we must act, for ourselves. There never was a time in the world's history that called more earnestly upon all persons to cultivate a firm, mainly decision of character, to be able to say NO to the seductive notion. There is no more beautiful character to be found than that of a determined will guided by pure motives. To talk beautifully is one thing, but to act with promptitude when the time of action has fully come is an far superior to the former as the brilliant sunlight surpasses the reflection of the moon.

A., A and A, came the report of the Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, Va. He began his address with a quotation from Dr Davis, as follows: "The victories of peace are far more renowned than the victories of war, for they are the result, not of battle-axe and sword, of cannon and of slaughter, but of principles of celegial origin—of principles indeed, which have their abiding place in the very heart of God Himself." Seal Thomas M. Crump made his report, which was referred to the proper committee. It was of a most encouraging character. Grand Master of Exchequer H F. Jonathan was ready with an itemized report. It showed a balance of $14,000.00 in the treasury of the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge adjourned until Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. A concert was scheduled for that night at the Colored Y M. C A.

M., A special program has been arranged. MANY DIFFICULTIES. He told of the difficulties which had confronted the Order during the past year, but that the results had been satisfactory. He recommended the holding of meetings in the districts with the Deputy Grand Chancellor as presiding officer, where instructions could be given and questions answered. He explained the provisions of the new $300 000 policy for the members of the Order, which policy is now in effect in this State. The actual cost of the policy is only $300 per year for all ages. The new policy is for new members and for old members, who wish it, but not for old members who do not wish it. He declared that this was the result of the work of the churches employ the same methods for raising money that were used by our fore-parents fifty years ago. The result of this is that the race moves around in a circle with no material advancement in its methods for the material advancement of our present day civilization. * PECULIAR CONDITIONS Men and women, too, who think beyond them are regarded as financial cranks, persons who would bring new-fungited ideas to the detriment of the people. It requires her culinary efforts and no end of talk and travel to bring the masses of our people to see the advantages of some of the most common-place positions, while on the other hand, the demagogues who will agree with them are able to despoil them, not only of their time, but of their money. INTERESTING INFORMATION. He gave an extended account of the questions propounded to him during the past year and his rulings. He reported 157 benefited lodges. The Pythian Calanthe-Industrial Association owns the property, and the report showed that the receipts since its organization have been $32,451.21. The receipts for last year wore $4,917.62. The balance in the treasury is $2,270.26. The value of the property owned at 727 North Third street and 511 North Third street, Richmond, Va., is $20,000* of which is clear of debt. TOTAL MEMBERSHIP. The Pythian Reliof Fund amounts to $409.48. The number of new policies issued during the past year to old members is 390. The total membership in this State, in both branches of the Order, is 9,503. At the conclusion of the report, which was listened to with rapt attention, Past Chancellor P. W. White of Pocahontas, moved that the rules be suspended and the Grand Master at Arms be directed to cast the unanimous vote of the Grand Lodges for John Mitchell, Jr. There was an animated scene upon the floor of the Grand Lodge as Grand Vice-Chancellor H. L. Jackson put the motion, which was unanimously carried amidst applause. OTHER OFFICERS REPORT. TOO. Seal Thomas M. Crump made his report, which was referred to the proper committee. It was of a most encouraging character. Grand Master of Exchequer H F. Jonathan was gaudy with an itemized report. It showed a balance of $14,000.00 in the treasury of the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge adjourned until Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. A concert was scheduled for that night at the Colored Y M. C A.

"The old gail is telling me all about it" muttered the sly, adaptable fellow. He had sided up to the maro and their heads were certainly very close together. "Not touch her! See bore! Sweetwater had his arm round the filly's neck and was looking straight into her fiery and intelligent eye "Shall I pass her story on?" he asked, with a magnetic smile at the astonished coachman. "You'll oblige me if you can put her knowledge into words," the man Zadok declared, with one fascinated eye on the horse and the other on the house where he evidently felt that his presence was wanted. "She was out that night, and I know it, as any coachman would know who doesn't come home stone drunk. But where she was and who took bar, get her to tell if you can, for I don't know no moron the dead." "The dead!" fushed qit Sweetwater wheeling suddenly about and pointing straight through the open stair door toward the house--who the young mistress the old servant mourned lay in her funeral casket. "Do you mean her--the lady who is about to be buried? Could she tell if her lips were not sealed by a murderer's hand? "Shef" The word came low and awesomely. Rude and uncultured as the man was, he seemed to be braggarly affected by this unexpected suggestion. "I haven't the wilt to answer that," said he. "How can we tell what she knew? The man who killed her is in jail. He might talk to some purpose. Why don't you question him? "For a very good reason," replied Sweetwater, with an easy good nature that was very reassuring. "He was arrested on the spot, so that it wasn't he who drove this mare home, unharmed her, put her back in her stall, locked the stable door and, hang up the key in its place in the kitchen. Somebody else did that." "That's true enough, and what does it show? That the mere was out on some other errand than the one which ended in blood and murder," was the coachman's unexpected retort. "Is that so? whispered Sweetwater into the mare's cocked ear. 'She's not quite ready to commit herself,' he drawled, with another enigmatical smile at the lingering Za dok. 'She's keeping something back. Are you?' he pointedly inquired, lefving the stalls and walking briskly up to Za dok. not quite ready to commit herself," he drawled, with another chigmatical smile at the lingering Zadok. "She's keeping something back. Are you? be pointedly inquired, leading the stalls and walking briskly to Zadok. "You're overstepping your dooty. I don't know who you are or what you want with me, but you're overstepping your dooty," said the coachman. "He's right." muttered Hexford. "Better let the fellow go. See one of the maids be knocking to him." "He ball go and welcome if he will tell me where he gets his taste for this especial brand of whisky." Sweetwater had crossed to the cupboard and taken down the lower unit of the broken bottle which had attracted his notice on his first entrance, and was now holding it out, with a quizzical look at the departing coachman. Hexford was at his shoulder with a spring, and together they inspected the label still sticking to it, which was that of the very rare and expensive spirit found missing from the clubhouse vault. "This is a find." muttered Hexford into his fellow detective's car. Then, with a quick move toward Zadok, he eouthed out. "You'd better answer that question. Where did this bit of broken bottle come from? They don't give you whisky like this to drink." "That they don't," muttered the conchman, not so much abashed as they had expected "And I wouldn't care for it if they did. I found that bit of bottle in the ash barrel outside and sailed it out to put varnish in. I liked the shape." "Broken this way?" "Yes; it's just an good." "Is it? Well, never mind; run along. We'll close the stable door for you." "I'd rather do it myself and carry in the key." "Here, then. We're going to the funnel too. You'd like to?" This latter in a whisper to Sweetwater. The answer was a fervent one. Nothing in all the world would please this Protean natured man quite so well. [TO BE CONTINUED.] WANTS TO LOCATE HER MOTHER 4 I would like to know the whores abouts of my mother, Bendie Allen. She wont away in 1892 from Oberlan, N. C. two miles from Raleigh, N. C. She was last heard from last October. That was the first time she gave birth. That was the youngest daughter that is trying to locate her. My name is BUSIE ALLEN, 913 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Babia, Brazil, May 8, 1911. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Editor and Publisher of The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va., U. S. A.: Dear Editor,—I am now reminded of an article written in one of your January issues. Where Mr. Washington was referred—to as "The greatest proposition that has ever come down the pike," I wish to say now that that statement seems quite justifiable—after what happened to him in New York and his manners after it. I am somewhat of a believer in all the Christian teachings. But if Mr. Washington's actions are prompted thereby, let me say here that he has one beat to death. Mrs. Eddy's faith "was nothing"; and he naks to be cited by the Lord himself. Why. I have never read of such a thing in all my short life. It has proved that Corbett was not altogether wrong, when he described in his prediction of the Jeffries-Johnson fight—how cowardly some of the Negroes are when coming to face a white man in whatever combat. But Mr. Johnson deceived that prophet. Theres are millions of others, who like a white man or any other true specie of mankind, who will gladly accept death rather than bring disgrace to their race. But not with Mr. Washington. For a man as he is supposed to be, to act as he has in his recent adventures, has not only disgreged every American Negro, but has endangered the lives of every Negro from whatever part who may have the sad misfortune to visit New York. In this much he has proved himself worse than a disgrace—an actual hurt to all men of whatever color. From the fact that Mr. Washington was beaten principally because of his color first, and, secondly, because of one of the lowest acts that a real man of any race should stoop to, that if he ever again expects to be called a gentleman. In the first case, with all justice to others, he should have stood like a man and let the law take its course. And in the second, he has denied to all American Negroes the right to call themselves gentlemen. For if he being who he is supposed to be, would stoop to such a low thing, what could there be expected of one of the more common ranks? Think of this men'. And he was not man enough to stand to his post and let the law prove to all men that there are other than brute means to deal with men of color, and as he showed such great willingness to let the matter drop outside of the court he must not be able to prove his innocence. And as he says that the man was right, then he should not escape paying a fine or serve a term in prison, or pay the fine and be bound over to keep the peace for a reasonable time or the whole order. For if this man is guilty, he is also angered by the justice, deserves the greatest of restrictions as a protection to the public's welfare. If he is innocent, then the carpenter who thrashed him should be taught to treat people more civilly. If he was so powerful to whip him thus he could have held him for an officer and not have beaten him so bad. To me, the whole thing has proved unworthy of a gentle people. And the worst of it all is that much better man have got to pay for it all. Now this reminds me that, al though Mr Washington is the most celebrated Negro in America, and is in the world, in my opinion he is unworthy of elder. And everything he has done has been to your disadvantage. But let us see if I am not wrong. He has done a most wonderful work in establishing the Tuskegee Institute of work. He has sent thou sands out from his school of work I believe that is, about as far as we can go. But, on the other hand, what has all this much talked of goodness to the (or his) race cost you? It has cost the race almost every citizen's right. The money which was given to all the schools was stopped for the benefit of Tuskegee, he is a most eloquent orator. Yes to the Negro's sorrow. He has sent out yes, probably hundreds of thousands, but where are they? Can we exactly count those who were benefited before and are now suffering? There is, for example the Fisk University, which was doing a most splendid work (May those old jubilee singers be remembered by all). Mr B. T Washington succeeded in having thou called back from Europe and disbanded. There was one band of people who was certainly telling you some good and it was not Interfering with any right which God had given you. But they sang to the hearts of all the world; and the money they were receiving was being honestly earned. They pleased the people and brought in the money They also opened the way for many thousands who are now making their living on the stage. Bert Williams, Cole & Johnson,"Black Pattio, Madam Blavasky and all the rest owe the greater part of their success to these plain people. It is so much so that even today in Europe, as well as New England, the older white people have never forgotten "Old Black Joe," "Take Me Back to Old Virginia," "The Swaince River," "The Steamboat," "The Gospel Train," etc. These people told the story of their woo in homely song and verse. I heard only a few days ago an Englishman, or rather a Scotchman, singing "Take Me Back to Old Virginia." Washington, you never have, and never will, replace these melodious strains, telling of the black man's woo. With all your oratory, elr, you have never pleased the simple soul as those people did for 20 or more years. But on the other hand: He came to his people telling them to take no part in politics. He advised an inferior education, and an education to work (as though the Negro had not been always doing all the work for his master). And he the black man been educated as all other people, would they not have come to their conclusions in fina? And instead of having one school teaching it, the people would have been teaching at the time they worked. There would have been many of the teachers and teachers in those schools and solitude in living. And the Negro by this time would have the ability to work at whatever there was to do without so much trouble. wherein today many a poor man and woman is deprived of the privileges of making a living at trades which they have learned. And many a person who has worked hard and prepared him or herself for higher service has been thrown completely out of their positions upon these theorists. Where are your Senators and your Congressmen to plead your causes? Mun have been thrown out of post-office. Baker was most brutally assassinated; his poor children, with their mother, thrown out of their home without the least thing to depend upon. And all the time and in face of all the hundreds of thousands of atrocities perpetrated all over the land, which has brought to American society so much pain of the civilized nations. The Czar of Russia told Roosevelt that when he had been Christian to the Nogro, he might advise him (the Czar) about the sultan's site. Mr. Washington lately tells the world that he has been navigating your political ship. I will ask this one question right here—if he or any one can reply. Were the most representative men which stand for your greatest worth among you today in all walks of life educated in Mr. Washington's school? But a blind man can see that Mr. Washington has been both the direct and indirect cause of many losing their positions'. As some few years ago, when a colored man waited a position in the national public service he was told to consult Mr. Washington. This was quite sufficient to have made the Negro divide his vote, so that parties seeking power would make it of optional value to those interested. But since Mr. Washington has been one of the on hangers, the conditions of the black man have grown from bad to worse. And the open insults to all women with the dignity even of gorillas] have been leveled. You have been lynched, burned at the stake, and in Wilmington, N.C. people peacefully coming from their work were most wickedly slain in the streets All this was while Mr. Washington was representing the Negroes of America. Single hunged, in every walk of life. I say black men, if you do not wake up and denounce this man who has already denounced himself, the time may mark you too late. Long before the death of Fred Douglas has this thing been going on. Now he is quite ready to ask the black voter to support Mr Roosevelt after he has done all he could to keep you from being able to support anybody else. Why, Mr Washington betrayed his own mother who brought him into the world. And if you doubt it, why look in his life's history on the first or second pages and you will see where he said that, although he did not know who his father was nor his own name, it was generally supposed that his mother was not his father. (This of course was his father. This of course was the father of Frederick Douglas. It also calls to mind a poor old dead mother was a chicken thief as though a slave could steal anything to eat from his master, unless it was to wiltfully waste it. And if she did take a chicken without being told, 'I'll bet it was for himself as he says that it was his father.' How was the poor woman to eat and feed her young, when she was a slave and could now buy? She seemed to be owned by her master in every possible way—and he rulled all she working for him and wheedled Mr. Washington a sense of Justice. And he her son's. O God help the poor. One can tell all the people some times, but not all the people all times get some may forever heools. How does Mr Washington speak for his face at any time but as to the best interest of the white man? He speaks not in the name of God and righteousness, which are greater than any Face or nation. Had he been for the right he would never have made such a statement as he did in his own case. For does not his statement enhance the veracity and privilege of all men of color—even their very lives in New York? Should, not that man have been taught not to beat a man simply because he is of the same race of some other man with whom he is angry? Mr Washington might have forgiven the man on his own account, but not to declare that the man was right even for the benefit of others. Leave that to the courts of justice to say. But that gentleman only betrayed his prenessness to decide matters much like his friend, Mr Reservat. But the race still moves along regardless of Mr. Washington, and a great many never ask him any favors. And many have exceeded him in anything he is able to do as a single individual. Gentlefolks, let me say here that it was never in the plan of Mr Washington to have the American people United as one. It was his plan not only to have you divided into two parts, but into three—namely the white, the mulattoes and the blacks. The whites to make the laws and place them into hands of the mulattoes, and the blacks to do the common labor, for which they would need no higher education, under mulatto masters. He did not mean that he should be considered as a real Negro nor the physical-labor being done by the mulattoes. No, let us see if I am wrong again. What color have most of those men been whom Mr Washington has recommended to playing and respectable positions? And to where has he Teocinionided the real dark one? What color were the men who the greatest force was brought to bear against to force them out of public places? What color has his closest friends been? I shall never forget that one time a very light mulatto and a business man, who said that he was born in North Carolina, and who was a friend of Mr. Washington. He said to me one night when we were discussing the subject of racial or social affairs of the United States: "Beyond all doubt God had made the Negro for the servant of servants. Cuttors of wood and drawers of water they were and ever would be." I then presumed to be more ignorant two races. And when I did, about all I could carry, I excused myself from him and went my way. I have very good authority for the fact that this man in his own house of business hired a white man, and gave him the first place after battering into his house. And if people did not either personally or merely mistakenly for the place. This is still alive I think; and I suppose doing the same business. I hope he will see and read this article and remember that talk. Now, that was pure cowardice and uncalled for. But we saw nothing of this in that nero boy who made the known ride from a certain town in Virginia to another, the capital, or county seat, where the Governor might be persuaded to revoke a sentence of death imposed and was about to be executed. And, those persons had been found to be innocent. I would rather that this statement had been made in some other paper, less that some might believe that I am acquainted personally with this, your Black Paul Rover. But the fact is that I have never seen or been anywhere near where Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., was, and he has never written to me upon the subject at all. But I say that he is the true type of hero, for he has ever been doing good to his And not, but doing nothing, either. He royalty of his place in the K. of P. or F. C B Society. A fool could never be what he has long proven to be he. He should be made to go over the whole route again before he dressed in his uniform and mounted upon a white steed. And if he was white it would be done. But back to our course, because you all know Mr. Mitchell, Jr., better than I do. I will cite you again that Mr. Washington never practiced what he preached. Ifusmuch as he himself did not keep out of politics. He likewise did not stop his own children with any inferior education. But here is a question, and the one which greatly confronts you all today. How can you or any one expect to be equally recognized without being equally qualified? This is your trouble in Washington today between the employees; and it is not near so bad today as it was intended. When the Jubilee singers were recalled and all persons wishing to help educate the American Negro were asked to consider the Tuskegee problem. Do you think that people can see these things? If all the Negroes had heard his theories in the 80's, where would you all be now? He seemed to have forcetted the Europeans, who would flood America, and who would utterly crush to death any people who stopped with a half education and did not take part in making the laws which governed them. And Mr Ulrich seems to be one of the very people whom he had so sadly forgotten. But, my poor colored friends, not half has yet been told. But if you who are giving the alarms can succeed in awakening the people you will yet win back your rights and privileges—but never by doing things in halves or waiting for any one to do it for you. You should read and support your journals above all things. There is for instance the McConico's Magazine, a very nice monthly, as well as the Richmond Planet, and many others. but these I invite your attention to because they are finding their way through and among people and sending from these parts to Africa in India, also to other parts. You should see that these journals represent you and your causes properly. I believe that Mr McConien is doing a great work for his race and really deserves all the support he can get. You can hear nothing but praise through these parts for his magazine. Thanking you for your attention I beg to announce myself your most humble servant PROF ISAAC S MOORE Bu' ta.

Simpson" and at times sailing under other names has been persistently swimming both white and colored people in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and Phoebe. His plan has been to represent that he has money in col- laboration with the state police risky to write to John Mitchell, Jr., President and toll him to send him six hundred and fifty dollars or some like amount at once to the person who is writing the letter or advancing him a small sum of money until he has gotten his money from Rich- mond. He alleges that he is captain of a sailing vessel, which according to his letters has been lost near Thimble Light off Buckroo Beach and as he has been carrying on this kind of swindling for about two years, that boat is presumably wrecked every two or three weeks. He asks that the letter be sent to him in care of the person who advances the money. He never comes back to see if the money comes as he directs. We have written continuously to the people, who send these letters, but we have had quite a time to keep up with him. Keep clear of Captain John H. Himpson or anybody who looks like him. —Subscribe to The PLANET JIGGLY Published every Saturday by JOHN MITCHELL, 48., at 311 N. Fourth Street, Hitchmond, Va. JOHN MITCHELL, JR., ...

Interested at the Post Office at Richmond, Va., second class matter SATURDAY TWO COLORED MEN LYNCHED. The following telegraphic report will show in vivid colors the predicament of Colored men charged with crime in the Southland. Atlanta Ga. June 27 Tom Allen and Joe Watts, negroes were lynched in Walton county today. Governor Brown disclaims responibility and puts the matter up to Judge Brand and Sheriff Stark The Sheriff says Judge Brand is responsible in any event because officials failed to act the mob claimed two lives and a legislative Inquiry seems sure to follow. Tom Allen was the first victim of the mob. He was accused of outraging a white woman near Monroe Walton county, about six weeks ago, and was brought to Atlanta for ante-keeping. Tance weeks ago he was taken from Atlanta to Monroe, guarded by troops, to be tried Judge Brand resented the presence of the troops and postponed the trial and the negro was returned to Atlanta Two days ago Judge Brand gave orders for the negro to be taken to Monroe today for trial. It was known that citizens there had organized to lynch the negro and Governor Brown asked Judge Brand if he wanted troops at the trial Judge Brand returned an evasive answer and referred the Governor to Sheriff Starck, the latter said that Judge Brand would ask for troops. No one asked and this morning the negro was sent to Walton county in charge of two officers. As the train neared Social Circle it was stopped by a mob, the negro was taken off, tied to a telegraph pole and shot to death, the passengers on the train looking on. The mob, several hundred strong and unmasked, then marched to Monroe, about six miles away, where Joe Waits, a nigro held on suspicion of being Tom Allen's accomplice in the alleged outrage, was confined in jail. The mob holdly entered Monroe at 6 o'clock, proceeded to the jail, stormed it, took out the negro, hanged him to a tree and shot him to pieces. Both negroes denied guilt to the last, and there seems to have been no strong evidence against them. The tragedy, involving as it does, failure to use troops, has created a sensation and the members of the Legislature who are here for the opening tomorrow say there will be an investigation. There is no question as to the responsibility resting upon Sheriff Stark primarily and secondarily upon Judge Brand. The prisoner was in the hands of the sheriff, and it was his duty to protect him. If he had any doubt of his ability so to do he should have called upon Governor Brown for troops. But the sheriff is subject to the orders of the court, and as the Judge opposed the use of troops he would have been in an embarrassing predicament to have ordered them there. It seems to have been a case where Judge Brand should have granted a change of venue to some point in the State where troops are not needed. We know that there are jurists who contend that fair trial cannot be had in a locality where troops must remain in order to uphold the dignity of the law. As the matter now stands the blood of the prisoners, who are presumed innocent until they are proven guilty, is upon the two officials mentioned. In this State the Chief Executive is sworn to take care that the laws are enforced. This provision has been repeatedly construed to justify the use of troops at felony trials, where there is danger of lynching, whether they are asked for by the sheriff or not. The sigation calls for legislative investigation, and we hope that all parties to the murders will be relentlessly prosecuted. Petersburg Va.

Wenner, With the report of the Committee on Credentials came the report of the Grand Worthy Counselor, John Mitchell, Jr. He reported the organization in a prosperous condition. The new policy had been issued and members in this department who held them were insured for $15000 instead of $1000 as heretofore, which with the burial benefit would make the total amount $2000 at death. The Calanthe Relief Fund for deceased members now amounted to $83173. He reported that new courts had been organized at Saxe, Prince George county, Portsmouth, Chester Roanoke and Pulaski. UNIMOUSLY REELECTED The conclusion of the report was the signal for applause, which was followed by the (Chautauqua salute twisting of handkerchiefs) and then by a motion to suspend the rules and cheat by unanimous vote, the ballot being cast by the Grand Worthy Escort. This was done. The Grand Worthy Register of books read a fine report, and Mrs. Joseph A Graham, the Grand Worthy Responder of Deposits, submitted the figures, showing the receipts and disbursements of that office. The roll of courts was called and each Grand Representative responded. The Grand Court took a recess until 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Second Day's Session Petersburg, Va.

The report was made that 61 Grand Representatives had received the Fifth or Grand Lodge degree. Grand Chancellor Mitchell assisted by high corp of degree members, did the work in just 12 minutes. Both the candidates and the Grand Lodge members were delighted. PUBLIC MEETING The roll of lodges was called and the Grand Representatives responded. The Grand Lodge took a recess for the parade at about 11 o'clock to meet again at 9 o'clock this morning, and the Grand Court took a recess at 12 o'clock, to meet at 10 o'clock this morning. The public meeting at the Ebenezer Baptist Church last night was a grand affair. Grand Chancellor Jno Mitchell Jr. presided. He did not have time to prepare for the occasion but appeared as presiding of deer in the full dress uniform of a Baldgadder General Prayer was of benefed by Rev E Watts, D. D.

D. of Richmond cepted and the members arranged at once to visit the Central Hospital. The company had prepared six of its largest gavels, front of the church, and both bodies took a recess at once and were soon on the way to the insane asylum, which place is now known as the Central State Hospital. Reaching the grounds, the buildings could be seen upon a knoll or hill. The long line of visitors filed up the gravelled walkway. The inmates were working in the garden, as many as six and seven being engaged in grazing up the earth. They have no sign of their condition, other than that peculiar look which is noticeable about one suffering from the abruption of the mind. The grounds are magnificently beautiful Reaching the costhule of the Central State Hospital, the fine halted and members of the party were admitted one by one, until the reception room was well filled. There they waited for ten minutes for the arrival of one of the colored supervisors, as the attendants in charge who helped. Superintendent Drewry, who insisted with being the ablest physician and manager in the State, so far as any positions relate to mental diseases or temporary aberrations of the mind, was in Richmond. Thanks were extended to the citizens of Petersburg, the city officials of the newspapers and to the Virginia Railway and Power Company for courtesies extended. It was about 9 o'clock P. M Friday night when the gavel of the Grand Chancellor announced the close of the session of the Grand Lodge Grand Chancellor Mitchell, after taking an automobile ride, left Friday night at 10 50 for Richmond. One of the interesting features was the breaking of camp at the head of Sycamore street, where nineteen tents sheltered the Uniform Bank. It was nearly 10 o'clock Friday night when the tap of the Drum was heard and then came Colonel R. C. Mitchell with two companies of cadets with measured tread, wearing slouch hats and knakl uniform, with guns on their shoulders, while wound around their bodies were the blankets on which they had slept, and swung to them also were their knives, forks, spoons, tin plates and tin cups, all of which were a part of camp life. to camp life. They had walked from Richmond into Petersburg. They were about to ride out of Petersburg into Richmond. The electric car was there to transport them. They arrived in Richmond at about 1 o'clock, and they filed out of the car at the tap of the drum, arousing the mothers and sisters as they marched to the Pythian Castle. General John Mitchell, Jr., had preceded them by the Atlantic Coast Line train and he was there to receive them. The boys were happy. A BOY FOUND. Then it was discovered that one of the small boys, About 7 or 8 years of age, was missing. The news that WAITING FOR ATTENDANTS THE VISITORS SEPARATED Finally the attendant came. The ladies went through the female ward and the gentlemen through the male ward. Everywhere was scrupulously clean. It showed that the entire force there wielded a ceaseless warfare against every form of uncleanness. The females wore dark clothes which were the striking contrast to the white wall and well scrubbed floors. NO MANIACS SEEN No manacles were in evidence; only those who were doilee were seen by the visitors. As the party entered the door a tail, stately young colored man, with a peculiar look in his eye inquired of George W. Rison about first one person and then another. He asked if any of his people came. Then he wanted to know about Wylie. He looked like a man who had come off from a restrained scree. Later as the man wended their way through the corridors of the hospital he was seen standing in his room with the door closed, peering wildly at the passing throne. CARD PLAYERS BUSY As strange as it may seem, he was perfectly rational in his talk. He could tell the date of the month that he came to the asylum. Men sat in rows on the benches. Two were playing cards with each other. They lay in the cards and not at each other. One of them gave a sidelong glance at the bow, but the other played on. The player that game was mechanically as did a wooden figure once on exhibition in New York play checkers. NEW BUILDING Finally the porch was reached, and the guide called out to the attendant to come and watch the gate. These inmates were locked in the porches were well provided with bars to prevent an escape. There was a new building being erected for the criminal insane. The present quarters are wholly inadequate for the steady stream of people who are suffering from the aberration of the mind. As the chapel was being visited the indies were seen coming to inspect the same. OREYED ORDERS Some of the inmates are tractile and they work and obey orders, just as though they are sane. Reaching the station again every electric car hits a crowd during an interval of ten minutes until the last load had left the building. They returned to the Eleanor Baptist Church to complete the business. COURT RECONVENES The Grand Court reconvened at B P M, with Grand Worthy Counselor John Mitchell, Jr. presiding.

Editor Richmond Pinet: Wm. Brown, a resident of our city shot and instantly killed Mrs. Mackie Morton, formerly of Texas. Brown called on Mrs. Morton early in the evening to have an understanding. She had promised to marry him some time before, but repeatedly put him off from time to time, until he was convinced that she was feeling him, and he became so enraged that he shot her. After emptying his revolver into her head and body, he stepped over his victim to a telephone and rang up for the police to come and get him. The children's day exercises held at Westly Chapel Sunday, June 8th, were well attended. The children were well trained and great credit is due the teachers and mothers for their unfiring efforts to prepare them for the day. After the program President Dr. Thirkleid, of Howard University, was introduced, and was received very cordially. The doctor delivered a short address, which was well rendered and to the point. He also extended congratulations to our Los Angeles people in their success of raising $100,000 for the Y. M. C. A. building. Bishop Clinton, of Atlanta, Ga., spoke at Zion Methodist Church morning and evening to a crowded house. It is a deep regret that the bishop could not remain to fill his appointments to lecture at the M. E. Church Hundreds were uslawnpointed, but we hope he will come again. The State Baptist Sunday-School Convention convened at the Second Baptist Church on June 23d. About forty-five delegates were present. The meeting was interesting and good reports were given. Rev. T.

Mrs. Lena Mason has fallen in love with Los Angeles and is going to make it her future home. She is still carrying on meetings at the A. M E.

This is unusual for the young people to secure such a treat, and they are please to know that their new pastor has their allure at heart. The doctor, like all men, knows the success of a race in the training of the young people, and we are satisfied that in this we have a person who at all times is willing to encourage them. Mrs McPheas, who arrived in our city a few days ago from Biscayne, Arizona, brought with her a colored child of about twelve or thirteen years of age, employed as a nurse for her baby. After remaining in the city a few days she discharged the girl and made no preparation for her to return to her home. The girl at once went in search for some colored people to live with, and in her wanings along the street she happened to see two little girls playing and went to them, and they took her to their mother, Mrs Bright, of 1015 Overton street, where the girl is still staying Mrs Mass, one of the ladies rooming at Mrs Bright's, called on Mrs McPheas, after putting her through the third degree, Mrs McPheas was willing to pay five dollars a week for the girls board until she could arrange to send her back to her mother.

Hey, Grayse, Haptian preserver, who has preached the gospel, for about forty-five years, on Sunday af- ternoon, June 4th, sought relief from family domestic affairs by fastening himself in a room, and turning on the gas.

Children's day, was observed at Shilloh Baptist Church, Dupras, Vel., Sunday, and a number of Drake's Branch people drove through the country to attend. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Bedford, who have been teaching for years in the county, had prepared an elegant program and deserve 'credit for the deportment of the young folks. After the exorcises a gorgeous table was prepared, and the inner man was amply filled. When the exorcises was over Mr. Clem Green arose and delivered an excellent address in behalf of The Planet. The number of people was estimated at about 500. Some of those who sang and recited are: Misses Sarah High, Mamie Burwell, Florence Goode, Fleetra Elam, Alma Brown and others. Mrs. Fangie Foster is feeling better, after having a dizzy spell and falling on Main street Saturday. Mrs. Padina Morton is very slick. There is a good show here for a music teacher; most of the people are buying organs. Attention was called to Mr. D. Wobster Davis passing through Monday going South. Our town is small, but we would be delighted if he would consider stopping with us sometimes. The G. U. O. of Moses will celebrate the Fourth of July at Drakes Branch. The parade will be at 2 P. M., and the ball game between Drakes and South Boston will come off later in the day. There will be speaking also. The Question of Leadership. A Voice From the Backwoods. Bucknor's, Va., June 18, 1911 Editor The Planet: Dear Sir,—We have watched with interest each article concerning the national leadership from its very beginning, and after some time we are tempted to ask, "What for and which way?" Now that the answer has come through an article by Mr. Charles Jordan, of Pittsburg, crowned by the Editor's comment, we feel like taking off our hats and saying amen. After the war we began our citizenship in this country, with the understanding that we were a part of the people, and as such entitled to every right and privilege of citizens of the United States, and of the State in which we perchance may reside. BOUGHT MUCH Under this impression we have bought land, built homes, built churches and schools, paid taxes and given our lives on the battlefield. Now, if the United States regrets its action in guaranteeing us the rights of citizenship; if we had bought property under false impression, it is high time we were finding it out. As for the lenders, we can find them when the time comes. We may profitably take notice of the sayings of the gentleman from South America also. He gives us some food for thought. Now, it takes men for this business-but we have them. They are modest men, not signing their own names. E. B. JOHNSON 100 Pounds of Ice on His Back 100 Pounds of Ice on His Back AND TEN POUNDS ON HIS HEAD. He said the weather was so hot he was trying to keep cool. After talking with the gentleman, we said to him, if you go to 314 E.

You will find there an up-to-date line of underwear in Balbriggan, B. V.

The story of the alliance of the Mormon church and the Havemeyer interests in the beet sugar business was told and the deal characterized as entirely legal by Joseph F. Smith, president of the Mormon church and of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, before the house "sugar trust" investigating committee. A score or more women were present. Mr. Smith was escorted to the committee room by Bishopa Thomas R Gutter and C N. Nibley, R. W. Young, a grandson of Brigham Young, and Representative Joseph Howell, the only Mormon member of the house. The head of the church explained how Mormon affairs are conducted, how its funds come principally from the tithes of its people, how they are systematically accounted for. He asserted that the interests of the Mormon people are safeguarded at all times. Mr Smith testified that it was not the general practice of the church to make business investments, that the sugar business was its largest investment, and that was entered upon to help Uri Mormon people. He emphatically denied that the church had any stock in the American Sugar Refining company. "Why, haven't you folks bought out the Havenmeyer interests?" asked Representative Raker, of California. "We haven't the money." "You knew Havenmeyer was a very powerful man in the business world and you were glad to get him interested in your business, weren't you?" "We were only interested in getting his money." "Have you any official connection with the Utah-Idaho Sugar company?" asked Mr. Hardwick "I am president of the company," replied Mr. Smith. "Do you own any stock?" "Yes, sir," I own about 5000 shares individually." "Do you own any stock in a representative capacity?" "Yes, I hold 49,815 shares for the church. The title is held in the name of Joseph F. Smith, trustee." Mr Smith said the church became interested in the Utah Sugar company when many people who subscribed failed to pay for the stock, and the company, under bond to complete a beet sugar-factory, was unable to do it. The church was appealed to by the stockholders to assist, which it did, to the extent of $50,000. "Does the Utah Idaho company pay dividends?" "Yes, seven per cent." He seemed to know little of the Haveney proposition. It was negotiated, he thought, by Thomas I. Cutler, a Mormon and manager of the Utah-Idaho company. Mr Smith could give no figures as to the cost per pound of beet sugar, the cost of machinery and the number of acres in cultivation. "Do you regard this combination as being in restraint of trade?" "I regard it as being extension of trade it has enhanced the value of our farms; it has made possible the cheaper production of beets, and it has proved one of the greatest blessings ever visited upon Utah and Idaho I do not think that the combine has increased the price of sugar to the consumer one bit." Mr. Smith volunteered the information that the church had borrowed money to help out the Utah Sugar company. "The church had a bonded indebtedness then of $1,000,000," he said, "but we borrowed more to help out the sugar industry, that had not up to that time been successful." "How was the money borrowed?" "By the church through me as trustee." "Didn't the secretary of the Utah-Idaho company often write to Havemeyer at your direction?" asked Mr. Rakar. "Never," said Mr. Bligh. "I don't think I ever had but one letter from Henry Havemeyer in my life." Bridegroom Is Drowned. William Covart, twenty years of age, an assistant yardmaster for the Erle Railroad company at Jersey City, N. J., was drowned while bathing in the Suquehanna at Wilkes Barre, Pa. Covart was salzed with crampa while in the middle of the stream. The dead man and his bride of a few months were visiting friends in this section Taft Going to Pittsburgh Taft Going to Pittsburgh. President Taft promised Mayor Magee, of Pittsburgh, Pa., to attend the continual celebration of the beginning of steamboating on the Ohio river in that city on Oct. 27.

Collector Loeb has received information that the underground channel, through which Mrs Helen D. Jenkins and others brought goods of unornamental value into this country duty free, is still open and that members of his staff are implicated in the scheme. The collector said that he is aware of his facts, but he admitted that it might be difficult to prove them, and he is waiting warily until he has his case in satisfactory shape. As matto is stand now, action against six inspectors is likely. Two and possibly more customs officers are said to be in the plot, which had its inception several years ago. These officers received. It is said, $100 for every trunk they passed with only a casual inspection. The New York leader in the operations not only was able to amuse valuable goods, including much jewelery, for himself, but thousands of dollars worth of dutiful stuff for others, who became in this way obligated to him. District Attorney Wise is reticent regarding the case, but it is feared the premature publicity will hinder the indictment of the head of the smuggling conspiracy. There will be no compromise in the Jenkins smuggling case. Deputy Surveyor Parr is the authority for the statement that he learned of the smuggled goods some time before he confronted Mrs. Jenkins in the matter. CHEAP CANDY KILLS GIRL Died of Pomaline Poisoning a Few Hours After Eating It. As the result of pomaline poisoning, which developed a few hours after she had eaten candy Mary Evans, one and a half years old, died in the Crozer hospital, in Chester, Pa. She and her sister, Ida Evans, two and a half years old, were admitted to the institution together. The latter is recovering. The girls bought ten cents' worth of cheap candy. They were seduced with violent comming spells during the night. Dr Robert S. Maison, who was summoned, says: "Of course, it is not always possible in these cases to ascertain the truth, but this both a very suspicious, and I believe it is a case for investigation. The coloring matter shows every indication that it caused the pomaline poisoning." Powder Trust Must Dissolve Powder Trust must dissolve. Judges Gray, of Wilmington, Bufington, of Pittsburg, Pa, and Lanning, of Trenton, N. J., filed an opinion in the United States circuit court in Wilmington, Del., declaring that the Dupont Powder company and twenty seven other companies and individuals are guilty of such a combination in restraint of interstate commerce in powder and other emplies," and ordered that it be dissolved. The bills against United States Senator Henry A. Dupont and fourteen other defendants were dismissed. This is the celebrated suit of the government against the powder trust for alleged violation of the Sherman antitrust act. The court has fixed Oct. 16 as the date for hearing arguments as to how the combination shall be dissolved. In his decision Judge Lanning decides that a number of companies forming the combination have committed certain acts which make it illegal and in violation of the Sherman ant trust law. The decision, following closely upon those of the supreme court in the tobacco and Standard Oil cases, is regarded as a great victory for the government. The trial of the powder case, begun in Wilmington in 1907, attracted widespread attention.

Because of his election as president of the Baptist World Alliance, an office holding five years, Rev Dr Robert S MacArthur announced to his congregation that it will be necessary for him to be much absent from his church—Calvary, in New York. He will go soon to Russia to see the car of the Russians. "The time has arrived," said the preacher, "when the car must learn that this is the twentieth century, not the fifteenth, and when the voice of religious democracy must be heard even in Peterhof." The pastor of Calvary church was unanimously elected to be the head of the World Alliance of Baptists for the next five years at the closing session of the alliance convention in Philadelphia last Friday. He announced at his morning service that next Wednesday evening in Salvary church thirty to forty Russian Baptist ministers will be presented, and several of them are here under dail, only to be rerestored and imprisoned the moment they return to Russia One of them was suspended by his thumbs and flogged. His wife was treated in the same way, and when cut down at last his wife dropped dead, while the man fainted. At the White House in Washington these Russians are to be presented to President Taft. Dr MacArthur says that the United States government is he urged to use its influence with the czar of Russia to mitigate the punishment of these Baptists as much as he can To induce him to do so and if possible to see the authorities of the Russian church in the purpose of the visit of the new president of the alliance to Russia. He is to be accompanied by Rev Dr Russell H Cowell, of Philadelphia, and Rev Dr F B Meyer and John Clifford, of London. Found Dead In Cistern.

ALASKA CLAIMS THROWN OUT Pinchot and Glavia Uphold by Decision of Secretary of Interior—End of Controversy. The famous Cunningham Alaskan coastal land claims, by means of which it has been alleged, the Morgan-Guydonheim syndicate had planned to extend their vast interests in Alaska and to control one of the most valuable coal fields in the world, were finally disallowed by the department of the interior. Secretary of the Interior Walter L. Fisher, having approved the department's decision, as handed down by Fred Dennett, commissioner of the general land office, the last door is believed to have been closed to the Cunningham claimants. Their attorneys have threatened an appeal to the United States supreme court, but such an appeal can be based only on some point of law involved, and not on the findings of fact as announced by the department. The Cunningham claims have been in the public eye constantly for more than two years. They brought about the Ballinger Pinchot investigation by congress and the dismissal from the public service of Gifford Pinchot, a chief forester, John R. Glavis, a chief of field division in the land office, and several minor officials. Both Pinchot and Glavis were dismissed for inabordination incident to their attacks on former Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, who, they charged, was favorably disposed toward the claims. These claims and the bitter controversy they started, it is believed, had much to do with the resignation of Mr Ballinger last Ma ch as secretary of the Interior One of the first acts of his successor, Mr Fisher, who is a friend of Pinchot and of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, was to start these claims toward a final decision. Commissioner Donnett, in his decision holding the claims for cancellation on the ground of fraud, declares that each of the thirty-three entries was improperly allowed because of fatal defects apparent on their face. He asserts that the government conclusively established the charges brought against the claimants, and that there is no doubt but that an agreement existed among them in violation of law. The thirty-three claims involved amounted to an aggregate area of $250 acres. The value of the land has been estimated high in the millions. The coal embraced in the claims is said to be among the finest in the world. Commissioner Dennett makes frequent reference to the work of Glavak in prosecuting the government's case against the Cunningham claimants. He also refers at length to the negotiations between Cunningham and representatives of the Guggenheim, who were shown at the Ballinger-Pinchot hearing to have taken an option on these coal lands, which were to be worked in connection with the other extensive Guggenheim interests in Alaska. The government charged against Cunningham and his associates that their entries of the coal lands were made in pursuance of an understanding and agreement entered into by all the claimants prior to location, to combine the several claims for the joint use and benefit of all. It was further asserted that the entries were made with the unlawful purpose that they should lure to the use and benefit of an association or corporation. After reviewing all of the facts brought out, Mr. Dennett reached the conclusion that the claims had no legal standing and ordered them cancelled Secretary Fisher promptly approved this finding GERMAN EMPEROR DECORATES MORGAN Delighted With Gift of Luther's Autograph Letter. J Plerpont Morgan presented Emperor William of Germany at Kiel with the autograph letter written by Martin Luther to the Emperor Charles V, and for which the American banker recently paid $25,500. His majesty was immensely pleased and forthwith conferred the grand cross of the Order of the Red Eagle on Mr Morgan. This is the second highest order of knighthood in the gift of the German crown. The letter, which is in Latin, is of great historical importance. It was written in 1621 during the reformer's return journey from the Diet of Worms and described the proceedings and defended his attitude. The letter never reached the emperor, as its contents were such that no one dared deliver it. A Florence dealer, representing Mr Morgan, obtained the epilogue at an autograph sale at Lolzib, May 2. As soon as it became known that the document was to go to America the annoyance of the German public was expressed in many newspaper editorials Died on Visit to Sister. Joseph P. Spliano, an attorney of Los Angeles, Cal., is dead at the home of his sister in Pittsburgh, Pa. from appendicitis. He was on a visit TARIFF BILLS MAY PRECEDE PACT Senator Penrose's Attempt to Have Fate of Canadian Reciprocity Declared on July 24 Fails. The tension that exists in the senate over the reciprocity measure was emphasized by incidents that occurred in the confused proceedings. The session began with an unsuccessful attempt by Chairman Penrose, on the finance committee, to obtain an agreement for a vote on reciprocity July 24, on the wool bill July 26, and free list bill July 28. Friends of reciprocity will insist upon coupling all three measures in any agreement to vote. After refusing to permit such an arrangement, the opponents of the reck-prociety bill allowed that measure to advance one important parliamentary step before they realized what had happened for a quarter of an hour the senate was in executive session. At its conclusion, no one being ready to speak on the measure, and following the parliamentary custom of that body, Vice President Sherman announced that the bill would be reported from the committee of the whole to the senate. The bill actually passed through all the stages of being reported to the senate before members realized what was going on. While under consideration in the committee of the whole the measure could be amended, but could not be voted upon. In the senate it could be brought to a final vote at any time Senators Nelson, Bristow, Clapp and Bailey joined. In the protest that arose when it was found what had happened to the bill. At first Senator Penrose objected to having the measure reinstated in the committee of the whohe He said the senate had shown no disposition to hurry in its consideration of the bill, and had rejected his proposal for a delimite time for a vote on the measure He therefore thought no backward step should be taken Friends of the bill on the Démocratic side, led by Senators Stone and Bacon, said the senate had evidently been off its guard, and had permitted the bill to be advanced unintentionally Senator Penrose finally consented to having it restored to its former status The feeling that developed over this incident was not so marked as that which greeted Senator Penrose at attempt to fix a time for the vote on the bills Insurgents objected to any deadline date for the rejuvenity voices, and the finance committee was exacerbated from the embarrassing position of having the other votes determined by an objection from Senator Smoot Several Democrats and insurgents would have welcomed the fixing of the other two dates, so that the tariff bills could be forced up to President Taft ahead of the rejuvenity bill and the latter half he has as a means of forcing his signature to the others. The Penrose request will be now from time to time and whenever others seem favorable. Ultimately the friends of rejuvenity may consent to change the order, allowing the vote on the tariff bills to come first, but they will not do so at present, nor in taking this position will they consent for one to go through without the others The Foolish Girl.

How the English Lost the Battle of Spoofersfontein. "Yes, indeed, old chap," said Captain Cholmondleigh-Smithers of his majesty's Four Hundred and Eighth cavalry, "your policemen are certainly handling the traffic much better than when I was last here; but, dash it, you haven't got it down to the point we have in London as yet. You've got your policemen educated and drivers trained, but your horses are a bit raw. 'Did you ever hear how the English came to lose the battle of Spoofersfontein during the Bloody War?' Not I Well, we were not particularly proud of the incident, and it was such a bally low, trick on the part of the Boers that it is not at all strange that they have not circulated the story. "You see, the Four Hundred and Eighth cavalry were called out in 1001 during the horse famine in South Africa, so many of 'em having been killed off in battle, dye are. We happened to reach the seat of war simultaneously with a consignment of cavalry mounts that had been drafted from London in an emergency-bus and cab horses. Dash me if they didn't put us on those brutes trained in the London airfield." "Well, sir, in the thick of Spoofers-fonlite my regiment was given the order to charge a Boer battery that held the pivotal position. We swept down on them, ten to one, and for some reason we could not comprehend for the moment they held their fire. "What do you think the politeouts had done? Dash me if they hadn't dressed out one rank of soldiers in the uniform of a blooming lot of London bobbles! Just as we rose in our attirems to strike, these bounders, helmets and all, slipped out in front of the battery, with their backs to us, and each held up a big paw in a white cotton glove. Of course the horses in our front rank stopped short, and their riders went over their heads, and in the fraction of a second the Four Hundred and Eighth was rolling over itself on the ground. That's how we came to lose one of the most important engagements of the war."—Success Magazine. Cross Purpose: An asylum for the deaf and dumb, being easily in need of funds, gave a dance. Among the many outsiders present were two good looking men. As they were talking together one of them suddenly exclaimed "By Jove, there's a pretty girl" I would like to dance with her" "Why don't you ask her?" responded his companion. "How?" "Why by slaves of course." So he crossed the hall and, placing himself in front of the girl, pointed with his index finger to her, then to himself and then whirled the finger round and round to indicate dancing. The girl smiling nodded an assent. Finding that her dancing was as perfect as her figure, he went through the same operation a little later in the evening. Again she nodded assent. As they were waiting for the music to start another gentleman approached the girl and asked for the next dance. "I am sorry," she replied in the sweetest tone, nodding toward her silent partner, "but I have this dance with the dummy." — Cosmopolitan Magazine. At the Door.

President and Mrs. Taft celebrated their silver wedding anniversary, and it will be many a day, before the national capital forgets the function. Every one, from the most exclusive social cave dweller to the newest member of congress, seems willing to admit that the reception was one of the most notable social affairs ever held at the White House. With the weather absolutely perfect, the White House grounds transformed almost into fairyland, the 5000 invited guests having the best kind of a time, and four times that many interested and enthusiastic spectators standing twenty deep outside the spiked iron fence that surrounds the executive mansion, President Taft as he stood at the head of the receiving limo with the first lady of the land, didn't seem to have a care in the world He was particularly Happy, as he said repeatedly in the course of the evening, that Mrs. Taft, lately not in the best of health, seemed to have won strength for the occasion and was with him every moment of the time that the thousands of guests were filling by, exchanging hand grips and expressing the hope that they might be spared to be present away off in the future at the Taft golden wedding day. Probably not a single one of the guests had the slightest conception of the elaborate preparations that had been made in a decorative way. And to those entering the White House, either from the avenue side or the carriage entrance, there was little beyond a searchlight playing on the fountain in front of the porticocero and a few clusters of lights on the lawn to indicate what awaited them on the-spectious grounds in the rear. Back there, though, the scene was beautiful beyond description. All around the outer edge of the acres, of level, short clipped grass within the White-House enclosure swung Chinese lanterns of fantastic designs, blocks upon blocks of them, barely six inches apart, swaying in the light breeze and coating queer shapes and shadows on the lawn Within the great square of lanterns every tree, big and little, every overgreen, every shrub and bush wore a dress of colored light. From the top of ancient olims and oaks long streamers of lights in the national colors, looped here and there from branch to brancha, swung downward to the ground, 'In the pines and cedars clusters of smaller bulbs, wound about the trunks, glowed within the green. From the roof of the White House a quad of white-clad jackets from the dispatch boat Dolphin operated a big navy searchlight, casting over-changing colored rays on the converging streams of the great fountain and basin in the center of the lawn. Just underneath the huge stream of white light cast from the Dolphin's big reflector, the red, white and blue of the national emblem shone out from the thousands of colored incandescents arranged near the top of the back portica of the White House. It was a busy day at the executive manSION and a busy and happy day for the Taffa. They were the recipients of a fortune in silver, gifts pouring into the White House by the wagon load. Congratulatory cablograms from many of the rulers of the world poured into the White House. Former President and Mrs. Roosevelt sent an antique silver bowl. In addition to the silver service sent by the sonate, the Vice President and Mrs. Sherman individually sent a tall silver vase, marked with the monograms of the President and Mrs. Tafft. The Speaker of the House and Mrs. Clark sent twenty-five American Beauty roses, one, for each year of the married life of the recipients. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Knox sent a massive silver vase for American Beauty roses. From the Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. MacVengh the President and Mrs Taft received a fruit platter-of silver, designed by Mrs. MacVengh, and intended for state dinners. It is elong in shape, two feet wide and very deep, with an inner rim of gold. At either end is a spread eagle, with the coat of arms of the United Sta. The gift of the Secretary of War and Mrs. Slimson is a tall silver vase and a silver tray. The Attorney, General and Mrs. wickersham sent a large repouse of silver jewel case. It is considered a rare piece of workmanship. From the Secretary General Ritchie cock the piece has some silver vase, incorporated with the billiards of the President and Mrs. Slimson. Mrs. Meyer have sent a towing cup. There are gifts in silver from all the other members of the cabinet. Charles D. Norton former secretary to the president, and Mrs. Norton sent a silver, jewel case. Record Tour of French Actress. When Sarah Bernhardt sails away from New York to Paris on the la Lorraine on Thursday the expressions of affection for American theater-goers in which she may confidently be expected to indulge ought to come from her heart, for her tour in its financial returns has exceeded the records of any other French dramatic star. Independent of the returns of her coming, four performances at the Globe theater in New York the gross receipts of Mme. Bernhardt's season have totaled $28,000. This huge sum has been earned in loss than eight months, and the physical energy displayed by the venerable French genius diving her vault has been quite as amazing as her artistic powers. At the age of sixty-seven, when most grandmother are content to take only a passive interest in the affairs of the world, she has traveled more than 25,000 miles, crossing the continent twice. Human Remains From Maine. The first parts of a human body from the wreck of the bathed ship Maine in Havana harbor were discovered when workmen removing mud and debris from the spar deck forward of the after superstructure found the blackened and coral encrusted bones of a left forearm and right foot. They were taken in charge by an undertaker and placed in a receptacle on the collier Leonidas. Of course there is nothing to suggest identification, but it is hoped that this may be established by discovery of other objects in the immediate vicinity. The water in the coordam has now been lowered thirteen feet below normal, revealing considerably more of the craft, especially amidships. A superficial examination of the most recently uncovered portions has tended somewhat to revive the hope that it will be possible to float the after half or more of the hull. Murdered and Robbed. In a little fringe of woods on the edge of Paradise creek, near Norfolk, Vn., a murder was revealed when a party of searchers out scourne the country in quest of J. L. Benton, a merchant, who had been missing from his home on Doop 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 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 $900. When his pockets were searched the money was gone. Dived From Train to Save Boy. Willard Allen, a Pennsylvanian railroad trainman, jumped from the top of a fast moving freight car directly into the feeder of the Delaware & Raritan canal, near Trenton, N.J., and saved the life of Charles Johnson, a fifteen-year-old ind, whose cell for help had reached the railroad. Johnson sank just as the train marched and he was found on the bottom of the canal. The task taken by the mail carrier was very great, but did not hesitate an instant. His conductor said he had to report him for deserting the train, but was asked the company to reward instead of consuming him. In that he had saved life by the brave deed. A Live Duke Abroad The late Washington Duke of Durham, N.C., who manufactured tobacco co products so extensively for a quarter of a century, used to tell a quaint little story on himself. "The first time I traveled abroad," he said, "I visited Brussels and went to see all itsights. In one of the public buildings I found an ordinary looking arm hair carefully rolled off and with a chain across its front. Being tired with a hard morning of tramping, I stopped over the fence, let down the chain and, with a big sigh of relief, dropped into this chair, the only one I had seen in the building. A guard in love and buttons was on me at once. "No sitting in that chair!" he blustered. "See the card on the back? The Duke of Wellington once occupied that chair". "Well, and what of it? I returned, cool as a cuckumber 'I'm Duke of Durham and alive at that.'

Are you sure your bees have plenty of honey to last until fruit bloom? If not you had better start to feed as soon as the weather is not too cold. Make stirup of granulated sugar two parts, water one part. Mix, stir until well dissolved and warm, but do not let it come to a boll. Feed it while warm. If your hives are of the regular standard pattern put the stirup on top of the frames in shallow dishes—pleats, for instance—with a piece of cheesecloth over the stirup. This prevents the bees from drowning, while they can get the stirup as it soaks into the cheesecloth. There are regular feeders on the market that work very well. In the cold months be careful to keep the entrance to the hive open, as it oftentimes gets clogged with dead bees or perhaps with snow and ice. If your bees are in old box hives you may want to transfer them to standard hives. This may be done when fruit is in full bloom. Here is the way to transfer bees—it is the newest and handiest method: Move the old hive back six or eight feet and set the new hive in the old hive's place. Then get a small box a foot or so deep and just the area of the bottom of the old hive, so that the box and hive can be fitted together closely with the edges meeting all around. Turn the old box hive upside down, set the hive box over it and drum against the hive with your hand or a stick until about two-thirds of the bees are driven into the hiving box. Then gently lift off the box and dump out the bees in front of the new hive, whiff, of course, should have a sheet of brood foundation in each frame to insure the starting of straight combs. Be sure that the queen is with the bees thus moved to the new hive. This is essential. Turn the old hive right end up and allow it to stand at least twenty-one days, by which time the brood will all be hatched. Then drum all the remaining bees out into the living box and dawn them at entrance of new hive at before. At all these novelties the bees should be smoked to prevent their fighting. The old way to transfer was to pry one side off the old hive and cut out the straight combs, leaving the crooked and drone combs. The straight ones are then fitted into the frames of the new hive, tying them there with waxed strings. DOOR WILL STAY HITCHED. Handy Device For the Doors of Farm Buildings That Will Prevent Much Trouble. - Possibly a majority of all the doors to farm buildings are made to fasten with wooden buttons. All of these are Keeps Door Hitchad. more or less troublesome. Because of wear or the slamming of the door the buttons become split or others are damaged so that they do not do their work. They don't "stand bitched." Now, look at the cut and see how one man fixes these buttons so they work right. Bore a small hole through the button and insert a No. 9 fence wire. Bend this over so as to hold firmly, and to the other end attach an old nut or other heavy piece of metal and the work is done. If this wire is firmly fixed it will always hold the button in proper position and prevent its failure to hold the door when the wind blows or animals run against it. Prevents Swarming When clipping the queen's wings is not practiced swarms may be prevented from leaving by the use of queen traps of performed zinc. These allow the workers to pass out, but not drones or queens, which on leaving the entrance pass up to an upper compartment, from which they cannot return. These are also used for keeping undesirable drones from escaping and the drones die of starvation. Back Now Why not try a few bees this coming season? Your son or daughter with a little financial aid may wish to try a few: It helps to "keep the boy on the farm," and that is where he is most needed. It is not out of line for the woman folks. If you wish bees don't make the women take care of them. If they wish them lend a hand. DRY LAND CROP ROTATION. The Farmer Who Grows a Mixed Crop Holds Land Longer Than Single Crop Farmer. Successful dry land cropping requires frequent cultivation of the land—the dust blanket—either as an incident to the cultivation of corn, potatoes or root crop, or without a crop bumus In the sōlt The conservation of moisture in dry land farming is an immediate necessity. The fertility will last for some time, and the weeds and insect pests are items of future contingency, but moisture conservation must begin when the soil is turned. Potatoes and root crops must be struck from the list of rotation crops in some districts or special provision must be made against the drifting of the soil. Corp may not be a success in all dry land districts, and there may be some sections which cannot spare the moisture necessary to produce a cultivated crop. Where such conditions exist the dry land farmer must adopt the summer tillage methods sq successfully followed in the Canadian northwest. A process of frequent tillage during the growing season which will maintain a constant blanket over the entire surface is a necessity in dry land culture. There is a special harrow with spadekel shovels which loosens the entire surface to a depth of three or four inches and is especially adapted for maintaining a soil mulch. The machine is made in sections, like a harrow, and can be fitted out for a two or four horse team, as the owner may desire. The system of planning a varied cropping system for each individual field is right in principle and a safe rule in practice. Peculiarly enough, it improves the social conditions in a community. That mixed farmers remain longer in a neighborhood than those who grow a single crop is the universal experience in this country. Few farms are run to the best advantage which do not have two or more systems of cropping on them. The small fields near the buildings can be cropped to much better advantage by having them planned to suit the live stock needs than upon a basis of producing large marketable crops. On the other hand, it is wasteful to put them into a system so permanent as not to take advantage of the heavier supply of manure and humus which the live stock adds to the soil so regularly. The potato patch should be changed about through some minor rotation—for example, so that sambity potatoes will not be the rule and so that the potato crop can have advantage of the manure where pasture crops have been fed off and where leguminous crops have been grown. Grass and forage crops in a rotation are, in my opinion, prime necessities. A system should be devised which will produce maximum crops when the field is sown, as the fixed charges against a field are very little increased for a heavy crop over those for an average crop and the net returns may be doubled. Prices to Charge For Expay Prices to Charge for Money. The way to furnish a good market for honey you can and make people believe it. Honey has already been sold at 15, 16, 18 and 20 cents a section right in a community where much honey was selling for 10 cents simply because they knew that the honey they were paying the higher price for was a better product. Every beekeeper ought to do the very best he can, not be slipsod, not have dirty looking sections, not have one full of holes all around or perhaps not filled at the bottom of the section at all. Produce the best article you can and make people believe it is all right and set your own price. Alfalfa Honey White and Clear. Alfalfa honey is white and clear, in an extremely delicate omb, has a delicious flavor and a most delightful aroma. A report from one of the alfalfa districts of the west tells of a single 'hive that continued nearly 200 pounds and of another having ninety-six pounds Sun Ja Best Disinfectant One of the best possible disinfectants known to modern chemistry is sunshine. With plenty of this in the stable there need be little trouble with sour or foul odors and disease breeding conditions. FARM NOTES At no season of the year has the farmer's family so much to eat as in the winter, and in the more leisure to enjoy the things he produces. Take precautions against apples frosting in storage. Where there is danger from freezing set a large tub of warm water in the cellar to raise the temperature. If freezing occurs allow the fruit to thaw slowly. A good way to cure a dog of the habit of rushing at travelers as they pass is to put on an old overcoat or other dressage, fill the garden sprayer with diluted ammonia and give him a dose as he tears out into the road. One dose is generally sufficient. With poultry yard alive with fowls and some of them laying, the root house full of vegetables and a half dozen pigs on the premises and a good, well kept family milk cow yielding a big mess of rich milk twice a day there is not much prospect of the farmer starving to death.

Allen's National News Bureau New York City, June 25, 1911 Information has just reached this bureau that the recent session of the New England Missionary Baptist Convention, recently held at Providence, R I, a resolution was made that a delegation of 5,000 Afro-Americans storm the nation's capital at the next Congressional session and protest against the lawless lynching of the Negro in this country. This resolution, which was one of the notable incidents of the convention, passed in the midst of great applause and unbounded enthusiasm. The delegation has begun an active and vigilant campaign, and is sounding a bugle call to be heard around the country to awaken interest and enthusiasm in the movement. A committee consisting of three prominent clergymen has been named to head the delegation and to arrange for every detail for the successful carrying out of the project The committee is made up of the following Rev Dr Wm Credit, of Philadelphia Dr S P Tallifare and Rev Dr A Mark Harris, of Jersey City. The committee is already getting in touch with the respective Congressmen of the various districts planning to have them meet the delegation at the reopening of Congress in December. This movement promises to be one of the greatest recorded in the annalogy since the famous act of Abraham Lincoln in the early '60s. Just who will make up the delegation has not been definitely known but all indications point that some of the most prominent and influential members of the race will march in line with the delegation "On to Washington" is the slogan of the committee. Further reference to the movement will be made in another issue of The Planet BISHOP WALTERS RETURNS FROM SUCCESSFUL TOUR. Bishop Alexander Walters, the stalwart and picturesque bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Church, has just returned from a successful tour through New England, where he conducted a successful confluence at New Haven and made several notable addresses while on his trip. The bishop was the recipient of much attention while on his tour and was heralded on all sides as the one great leader of the Negro. In all of his addresses he spoke out against every unjust discrimination that is being heaped upon the race. A notable address was his annual address delivered at his New England Conference at New Haven, where he addressed it in a long formal tone against the unjust lynch law worked in this country against the Negro. While on his tour the bishop made several speaking engagements, which will keep him busy for a long time to come. Bishop Walters is making preparations for the Connectional Council, which is to be held in Boston early in August. Bishop Walters was an acclaimed national his tour by Cleveland G. Allen, national newspaper correspondent. PROMNDPAT PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON IN THE METROPOLIS Dr J A Rohlehr, a prominent physician and surgeon of British Guinea, is visiting in New York preparatory of making a general tour of the country. Dr Rohlehr came to New York after attending the reunion of the graduates of McGill University in Toronto, of which he is a graduate. Dr Rohlehr is rated high as a physician in British Guinea and was the first to establish a hospital in his native city with a full staff of physicians and interns. Through his influence the medical profession in British Guinea has been elevated by demanding that every physician have a qualified diploma from a recognized medical university in the United Kingdom. Previous to Dr Rohlehr's fight in this direction physicians could practice without properly being qualified by accredited degrees from the university. "I believe that the best paid medical service in the world is in British Guiana," he said. "Colored graduates of the Kingdom are rapidly being admitted to practice in my native city," said Dr Rohlehr. A prominent as a physician, but its lack and prominent in other directions, being an influential member of the House of Parliament. As a legislator Dr. Rohlhoir has had an interesting career, and has won many civic victories for his people. He is the popular chosen leader of the people of his native city, and bears a reputation high up in the professional and social life of South America. He is also the president of the People's Newspaper, the only official organ of the people of British Guiana. This paper was founded by Rev. Dr. H. J. Shriyag, a noted English divine, of Fullum, England. This paper wields considerable influence in the country. Dr. Rohlhoir is hopeful of the future of the Negro and is in America to make a general observation tour of the conditions surrounding the Negro in America. GENERAL NOTER. Cleveland G.

Utica, Miss., June 23 —Championing the cause of the defenseless in the South, yet in a straightforward manner with that respect due a high State official, Wm. H. Holtzclaw, principal of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, recently addressed a letter to Governor E. P. Noel, protesting against the growing prevalence of that form of summary punishment and appealing to him to use his influence to check mob violence among the people of the South In part, the letter to Governor Noel reads "In these trying days for my race, when so many of them are being put to death without the semblance of a trial, and when our own State is listed so prominently among the states that have suffered from the evils of lynch law, it is difficult for one deeply interested in it and in all that pertains to its progress, and that of the South generally, not to raise a voice of protest "News comes to us of persons lynched to the extent of one a day for ten days, and to make it worse, eight lynchings happened on the same day. I am greatly interested in this question, because it is altogether likely that the lynching spirit which has hitherto been shown by whites only may take hold on the negroes after a white, and manifest itself in ways that will shock this nation. It is the spirit of lawlessness. The same spirit that swings up a poor, ignorant, degraded Negro in Georgia and riddles his body with bullets in the same spirit that dynamites the house in California. It is anarchy in disguise and anarchy is chaos. Committing more crimes cannot be a cure for crime. "I appeal to you, my dear Governor, not on behalf of those who have suffered so directly from mob violence, but on behalf of the law abiding Negroes, who by suggestion in the end, may be led to follow this deployable example of murder to satisfy some real or fancied injury, to use your great influence to check mob violence amongst us. Dispatches tell us that only the other day a mob of Negroes lynched one of their own race in Mericold, while they were applauded by white men. It does not need a prophet to tell where actions will ultimately lead. It is an one step from lynching a negro while being applauded by white men to murdering a white man while being applauded by Negroes or to burning a barn or house, or acquiring the use of dyna mite I take the position in regard to this lynching by Negroes in Merkwood that I take in regard to all lynchings -- that it is absolutely unjustifiable under all circumstances, is a relic of barbarianism and ought not to be tolerated in a civilized country. It is vain for civilized men to try to justify so barbarous a practice as that of taking human life without some process of law. Here in the South white men make the laws, they interpret the laws, and they should enforce the laws to the last letter, not override them. All the machinery of the government is in their hands they can destroy or defend, and the black man can say nothing but look on, and it matters not what may be his opinion of the white man's sense of justice. Every time you make a law and fall to alude by it, so long as it is on the statute books, you have done just that much to undermine the structure of the government. ] "People who resort to mob violence as a cure for any evil, overlook the fact that ignorance is at the bottom of all and every crime that provokes a mob spirit, and that a few hundred of fearing that fact are working day after day to wipe out ignorance and consequently crime, from among us. "We deplore crime among our people, but we have faith that it can be overcome by intelligent training in industry. When every Negro is engaged in some useful and congenial occupation crime will be reduced to a minimum. I beseech you, therefore, to open the school house door to every Negro child, as much for the sake of the future of your own children as for my own. If you will lend your great influence to the work of helping us better the conditions of our people, I judge you the hearty efforts of ten thousand negroes in this State, who will see that crime is wiped out, and that there neither be excuse nor occasion for the mob. "I was born in the South; have lived here and remanded whatever service I could towards its development and progress. I am deeply interested in all that portains to its welfare: I would not speak or write a single word save for the purpose of helping it forward, and I am writing you this letter because I know your great influence in this State and the nation, and I feel that a word from you at this time would count tremendously in the direction of peace and prosperity in our beloved Southland." READ What The PLANET'S Advertisers say and profit thereby. Please mention us when answering them. Editor The Planet Dear Sir, I read Mr. Dorcas's letter very shortly, knowing as I did that we were not ready to choose a national leader. We must be very careful and see to it that we are not led into things so important unless we are prepared. First, it is very easy to find takers, but it is very hard to find doors. Second, we have gotten to the dawn now where we must look for men of knowledge and with understanding—and men of foresight and honesty. I want to impress you with the real thing that the Vro-American people should do before choosing a national leader—and that is to present to the United States government a bill for settlement. According the American Negroes the same rights under the same law as white men receive, or pay to the American Negroes the sum of $255,000,000 for the number of years the Negroes were held in bondage and robbed of their privileges and earnings. WILL PRESFNT THE QUESTION If the Afro American people will be intelligent enough to present these two questions to the United States Government for settlement before choosing a national leader, it will be worth more to them in the future than anything else they can do at the present time. The word Negro has nothing to do with the public respect that the American receives, but it is because we have not got the means to defend ourselves as we should and the color of the skin. If the government will be honest enough to pay this enormous bill that has been owing us for a number of years, we will take care of the word Negro. My reason for suggesting the two questions for settlement before choosing a national leader is: First - Because slavery was the cause of the Afro American's present condition. Second - Because the United States Government is responsible for slavery. Third Because all nations of the earth would look upon us as being intelligent enough to take the right step to obtain our rights. Fourth Because we should let the United States Government know that they are in our debt. Fifth Because the United States Government would value us at more in the future than they have in the past and use us as they have never seen us. Sixth Because we would place the government on the defensive side. Seventh Because we would have them cornered. OTHER REASONS Eighth Because If they didn't settle the bill they would be, and would feel, guilty not only before us, but before the nations of Europe Ninth Because it would place us on a better foundation than we are at present Tenth Because that should have been done before Eleventh—Because we could do this in a penchant way Twelfth—Because we could demand from 3 to 4 per cent interest until the nation is settled one way or the other on two hundred and fifty five million dollars Thirteenth—Because we would be going direct to the point in the proper way There appeared in the News-Leader on Saturday, June 24th, an article headed, "Swap Biting Words, then Bite Each Other." Since we have had so many inquiries concerning this matter, as from the reading of the article it would appear that this affair took place at the entertainment given by Hyacinth Literary and Art Circle. Friday night, June 23rd, we take this method of forbly denying to mar the occasion whatever. The two parties were not even the guest of our circle. In justice to our circle and the many friends who are interested in the same, we are publishing this letter of denial. HYACINTH LITERARY & ART CIRCLE. Ida K. Mills, President. Bessie E.

The fighting was so desperate and at such close quarters that 500 Turkish fugitives are suffering from serious dagger wounds. The survivors fled in disorder to Gheesan, pursued by the rebels. The Turkish gunboat Sutobbe, intending to shell the Arabs, shelled Gheesan instead, killing or wounding several hundred of the soldiers. The rebels captured four big guns, two Maximus, 200 rifles and a quantity of ammunition and, ultimately retired. Gheesan is a seaport of the Turkish village of Yemen, in southwestern Arabia. Yemen is a mountainous district whose people are engaged chiefly in stock raising and who are almost continuously in revolt against Turkish authority. Pind Sketcher at Gettysburg.
