Frederick $26 Collins avenue, where he spake his time un- til Saturday morning. He presided over the heart of the timeplant in the election of officers. The naming of Gon. B. G.

Chief Griffin and Chief Ross Swoop Down on Jonesboro. ---The Missing Official Declared to be Near Richmond. ---Did Not Find Him---True Reformer Meeting---Warm Speeches There. The Grand Jury Begins Work... Will Probe to the Bottom... Much Corruption is Unearthed... Will Probably Indict Others... Edward Ellis, Jr., Arrested. The search for the missing cashier of the True Reformers Bank last Monday night was thrilling and picturesque. A "tip" had been given Chief R. Griffin that Rachel R. T. Hill had been seen at Jonesboro, a station about six miles from city on the C. & O. Railway, in company with Chief Floyd Ross, and two detectives from this city can acquire him on short notice if for the month had merely written She smiled farewell to earth. She moved farwell to earth. Heaven rotated now our treasure, and $19,500 at another. Earth the lonely keeps; being the amount that he had had. And the sunbeams love to linger. This accounted for the midnight trip to the "mansion in the woods" that he went in quest for a bondman. He was killed Saturday by Judge S. B. Witt in the summer of $500, with Mr. Julian W. True (White) as security. TOO MUCH MONEY FOR SALARY. A smile of heavenly birth: And when the angels called her home, he drew his own salary She smiled farewell to earth. Heaven rotated now our treasure, and $19,500 at another. Earth the lonely keeps; being the amount that he had had. And the sunbeams love to linger. Dr. Jones asserts that he has not been in his residence, as reported in company with Chief Floyd Ross, and two detectives from this city can acquire him on short notice if for the month had merely written She smiled farewell to earth. She moved farwell to earth. Heaven rotated now our treasure, and $19,500 at another. Earth the lonely keeps; being the amount that he had had. And the sunbeams love to linger. Shepherds of Bethlehem TO THE PRONT. New Order Wonder of Age. The Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem DR. JONES AROUSED. They drove past, the residence of Dr. R. J. Jones and then returned. As the party reached, the gate, the light in the front of the house, waved to them. They waved to the clock, or those beats. Each one of the men was armed with a gun. They called out to Dr. B. J. Jones not to shoot, as they were officers. They were told to go through the house and search. COULD SEARCH EVERYWHERE. They went out to the stable, through the arbor, and made a thorough search, but they could find no trace of R. T. Hill. The man was argued, too, and he went around with the party. The disappointed visitors left, but about daylight returned and went through the Jones residence again. The statement of one of the visitors that he had seen a man run through the Jones residence, the officer, who declared that R. T. Hill had not been at his residence. RETURNED TO RICHMOND "The party returned to Richmond, after alding of white family, whose automobile had become disabled. They waited until the chauffeur had carried the ladies in the party to Richmond. In speaking of the affair last Wednesday, Dr. R. E. Jones said that he was up at home studying the & O schedule in order to attend the church of his son, who was about to take a trip to Indianapolis. It was an strange coincidence that he felt hungry and told his wife jokingly to go down and got him some lunchon. A PECULIAR COINCIDENCE. He went: down himself and made a light; which was put but just as the pretty arrived at the gate. "They told me what they wanted," he said, "and I told them to walk in. Some little propitation had to be made by my family, but I told them to search everywhere, even on the hill. But when I told them Hill was there. I called Hill and he came out. I told him to get a lantern, but it was Ellijah Hill, that being the name of my hired man." CAME BACK AGAIN. They went away, and returned about daylight. One of them said that he had seen a man leave the rear of the house. I asked him why he'd not halt him, or shoot him. I T. H. Killen knew him, but I didn't. He boon there a thousand times, but I have not seen him since he left Richmond, and would be only too anxious to give him up if I could locate him." SAW HIM THERE. The news of the trip went over the city, like wild fire, and it was reported that he had been shot and taken as Yak to say that they had seen him in the automobile. A college who has known R. T. Hill for year, declared that, he had seen him, in R. T. R. Jones' phallal residence at Jotohaon. As R. T. Hill was a large stockholder in this settlement, and owned a large This accounted for the midnight trip to the "mansion in the woods." HAD NOT BEEN THERE Dr. Jones asserts that he has not harbored R. T. Hill and that he has not been in his residence as reported. Ellish Hill is there, though, and the True Reformers and officers can secure him on short notice if they wont him. The True Reformer situation has not materially improved, for the reason that the deprived man has inserted the more rank as the corruption. ROOTING UP EVIDENCE The activities are of work ominous, the accusations of the grifftail and Chickie. R. Griffin is paranoidly rooting up all evidences of fraud and corruption and informing the grand jury of the Hustings Court and the public. General Counsel J. Thomas Downewsome is abusing the cases, he seems to be perfectly at home with reference to all matters pertaining to his profession. GRAND JURY WILL ACT. ] The outlook at first was that the grand jury would go, very slow in the matter: indictments, but from the mass of nagrant violations of criminal statutes, it is reasonably probable that former officials will be required to face a jury in the Hustings Court of this city. THE PLANET IN EVIDENCE. Whether or not they can be convicted will rest with the jury and the skill of the counsel defending them. Captain Charles F. Taylor is taking a deep interest in the disclosures. It is interesting to state, too, that the files of The Planet are figuring prominently in the fiction of the galapagosian rated that it possessed a humorous aspect for at one time he saw every member of the grand jury reading a copy of The Planet. THAT WARM MEETING. It is generally conceded that in its columns, the facts can be obtained. The meeting hold Friday night, the 28th instant, at the True Reformers' Hall, was sensational. Mr. A. Humbles, of Lynchburg, Vt., presided. Grand Worthy Master A. W. Holmes spoke, being greeted with applause. He declared that he had, done all in his power to bring the guilty plea to justice. This caused him to be most favorably considered, until General Counsel J. Thomas Newsome boldly declared that he had made no effort to secure the two mules that had been stolen at the Old "Folkas" Home. CHIFF GRJFFING SPEECH. Cleof W. R. Griffin's speech was along previous lines, and he related in plain language the terrible condition of affair. He declared that it was absolutely essential that all the officers should be put out and that the people should be taken charge in order to restore the confidence of that people. He believed that the Order could be saved, but that it would take a different class of men from those now in class to save it. MR. ELLIS ARRESTED, TOO The meeting was sensational. At one time the reference to an eminent divine elicited a spiked response. It was announced that a warrant had been sworn out against Edward Nils. Jr., service-president with a salary. The officers did not, and Mr. Ellis at home Friday night. He is said to have heard of the warrant and that he went in question to a bondman. He was billed Saturday at In Judge S. B. Wilt in the sum of $500, with Mr. Julian W. Tucker (white) as security. TOO MUCH MONBY. FOR SALARY. It is allowed that Mr. Edward Ellis, Jr., after drawing his own salary for the month had money written by which he drew $15,000 at one time and $13,000 at another, this being the amount that he had already drawn. This underscores that he will claim this thin salary was drawn in advance. This pay roll will show what or why the contraction is valid. General Counsel Newcomen and Cholt Wi. Jr. Grilling that he has made a contract with the moving being held, have created intense interest, and the colored people are thoroughly aroused. HUSTINGS COURT. L. B. Phillips, former bookkeeper of the True Reformers' Savings Bank appeared in the Police Court yesterday to answer to four new warrants, charging him with forgery. He was sworn to certify to the October meeting of the Hustings Court grand jury. Phillips was bailed before Judge Witt in the sum of $3,000. The now warrants charge him with forgiving the sum of $75 on the Taylor former Bank two on the same bank for $15.75 and $16.85, signing the names of W. L. Taylor and W.-D. Hodges, and one on the Broad Street Bank for $20, to which the name of H. W. Holmes was signed. Phillips and two indictments for the same offence. This morning the grand jury of the Hustings Court will continue its investigation of the affairs of the bank. A large number of witnesses are to be examined, and the entire investigation, as is also Rouben T. Hill, the cashier, who is not to be found. A number of the bank officers and it would not be surprising if the investigation should result in additional arrests. Aug. 21 is the day when Mount O. makes her getaway to Buck Roos. V. U. U. 6. 8.

THE district attorney shrugged this answer away before he went on to say: "You have listened to Zadok Brown's testimony. When you found the shroud the stable door locked and the key hanging up on its usual nail in the kitchen. How do you account for this?" "There are two ways." "Mention them, if you please." "Zadok had been to a dance and may not have been quite clear as to what he saw, or, finding the stable door open, may have blamed himself for the fact and sought to cover up his fault with a lie." "Have you ever caught him in a lie?" "No. But there's always a first time." "You would impach his testimony then?" "No. You have asked me how this discrepancy could be explained and I have tried to show you." "Mr. Cumberland, the gray mare was out that night. This has been amply proved." "If you believe Zadok, yes." "You have heard other testimony corroborative of this fact. She was seen on the clubhouse road that night by a person amplified to identify her." "So I've been told." "The person driving this horse wore a hat, identified as an old one of yours, which hat was afterward found at your house on a remote peg in a soild dress used closet. If you were not this person, how can you explain the use of your horse, the use of your clothes, the locking of the stable door—which you declare yourself to have left open—and the hanging up of the key on its own nail?" It was a crucial question—how crucial one knew but our two selves. If no answered at all he must compromise Carneau. I had no fear of this doing. I might have made it easier. My might did. If he let this implication stand and made no effort to exonerate himself by denying his presence in the cutter and consequent return to the Cumberland home. The quick side glances I have observed cast in her direction by both father and mother showed that she had made some impulsive demonstration visible. to them, if not to others, and, fearful of the consequences if I did not make some effort to hold her in check, I kept my eyes in her direction and so lost Arthur's look and the look of his counsel as he answered, with just the word I had expected—short and dogged: "I cannot explain." It was my death warrant. I realized this even while I held Ella's eye with mine and smoothed my countenance to meet the anguish in hers, in the effort to hold her back for a few minutes longer till I could quite satisfy myself that Arthur's case was really lost and that I must speak or feel myself his murderer. The gloom which followed this recognition of his inability, real or fanied, to explain away the most damning feature of the case against him taken with his own contradictions and growing despondency, could not escape my eye, accustomed as I was to the habitual expression of most every person there. But it was not yet the ten penetrable gloom presaging conviction and, directing Ella's gaze toward Mr. Moffat, who seemed little disturbed either by Mr. Fox's satisfaction or the prisoner's open despair. The heart of grace and waited for the disney's next move. It was fatal once I began to recognize this very soon, simple as was the subject he now introduced. "When you went into the kitchen, Mr. Cumberland, to get the stable door key, was the gas lit, or did you have to light it? "It-it was lit, I think." "Don't you know? "It was lit, but turned low. I could see well enough." "Why, then, didn't you take both keys?" "Both keys?" "You have said you went down town by the short cut through your neighbor's yard. That cut is guarded by a door which was locked that night. You needed the key to that door more than the one to the stable. Why didn't you take it?" "I-I took it when I took the other." "Are you sure?" "Yes; they both hung on one nail. I grabbed them both at the same time." "Which of the two hung foremost?" "I didn't notice." "You took both?" "Yes, I took both." "And went straight out with them?" "Yes, to the stable." "And, then where?" "Through the adjoining grounds downtown." "You are sure you went through Mr. Fulton's grounds at this early hour in the evening?" "I am positive." "Was it not at a later hour, much later, a little before 12 instead of a little before 0?" "No, Mr. I was on the golf links." of the Whispering Pines BARREA WAR CARRIED OUT IN HER DISMAYED FATHER'S ARMS. WAS CARRIED OUT IN HER DEMATED PATRON'S ARMS. "Unharnessed the horse, drew up the cutter, locked the stable door and, entering the house, hung up the key where it belonged." No answer this time. "Mr. Cumberland, you admitted in your direct examination that you took with you out of the clubhouse only one bottle of the especial brand you favored, although you carried up two into the kitchen?" "No, I said that I only had one when I got to Cuthbert road. I don't remember her anything about the other." "But you know where the other—or, rather, remnants of the other—was found?" "In my own stable, taken there by my man Zaddy Brown, who says he picked it out of one of our waste barrels." "This is the part of bottle referred to. Do you recognize the label still adhering to it as similar to the one to be found on the bottle you emptied in Cuthbert road?" "It is like that one." "Did you carried that other bottle off, and had it been broken as this has been broken, would it not have presented an exactly similar appearance to this?" "Possibly." "Only possibly." "It would have looked the same: I cannot do it. What's the use fooling?" "Mr. Cumberland, the only two bottles known to contain this especial brand of wine were in the clubhouse at 10 o'clock that night. How came one of them to get into the barrel outside your stable before your return the next day?" "I cannot say" "This barrel stood where?" "In the passage behind the stable." "The passage you pass through on your way to the door leading into your neighbor's grounds?" "Yes" "The dreaded moment had come. This 'Yes' had no sooner left Arthur's lips than I saw Ella throw out her innocent arms and leap impetuously to her feet with a loud. 'No, no, I can tell.'" She did not say what, for at the hubbub rushed by it's outbreak in upon court she fainted dead away and was carried out in her dismayed father's arms. This necessarily caused a break in the proceedings. Mr. Fox suspended his cross examination, and in a few minutes more the judge adjourned the court. As I observed the satisfaction with which Mr. Mofat scented this witness—a satisfaction which promised little consideration for her if she over came upon the stand—I surrendered to fate. Inwardly committing Carmel's future to the God who made her and who know better than we the story of her life, what her dey temper had cost her I drew a piece of paper from my pocket and, while the courtroom was slowly amputing, hastily addressed the following lines to Mr. Mofat, who had lingered to have a few words with his colleague: There is a witness in this building who can testify more clearly and definitely than Miss Fulton has Arthur Cumberland in a confession contradiction to the same, might have been on the golf links at the time he awaits to. That witness is my friend. NEOLOGICAL LAEOLI I was ready to meet the surprised lawyer when his eye roars from the words. I had written and settled steadily on my face. Next minute he was writing busily, and in a second later I was reading these words: Do you absolutely wish to be recalled as a witness, and by the defense? M. My answer was brief: I do. Not to make a confession of crime. I have no such confession to make. But I know who drove that horse. I had sacrificed Carmel to my sense of right. Never had I loved her as I did at that moment. A turning point had been reached in the defense. That every one knew at the first glance at Mr. Moffat on the opening of the next morning'salon. As I noted the excitement which occasioned even in question, where self control is usually what matters, and such emotions suppressed I interviewed the subtle influence of one man's expectancy and the powerful effect which can be produced on a forsworth crowd by a well ordered silence suggestive of coming action. I, who know the basis of this expectancy and the natum of the action with which Mr. Mogat anticipated starting the court, was the quietest person present. Since it was my hand and none other which must give this fresh turn to the wheel of justice it were well for me to do it calmly and without any of the old maddening throb of heart. But the time seemed long before Arthur was released from further cross examination and the opportunity given Mr. Moffat to call his next witness. Something in the attitude he now took, something in the way he bent over his client and whispered a few admonitory words, and, still more, the emotion with which these words were received and answered by some extraordinary protest, aroused expectation to it a still greater pitch and made my course seem even more painful to myself than I had foreseen when dreaming over and weighing the possibilities of this hour. With something like terror I awaited the calling of my name, and when it was delayed it was with emotions inexplicable to myself that I looked up and saw Mr. Mofaf holding open a door in the middle of the judge's room of respect which a man only assumes in the presence and under the dominating influence of woman. "Ella" thought I. "Instead of saving her by my contemplated sacrifice of Carmel, I have only added one sacrifice to another." But when the timid, filtering step we could faintly hear crossing the room beyond had brought its possessor with it in sight and I perceived the tail, black robbed, heavily veiled woman who reached for Mr Mofaf's sustaining arm I did not need the startling picture of the prisoner, standing upright with outheld and repellant hands, to the impossible bad happened and that all bom beyond nai brought its possessor within sight, and presented the tull, black robed, heavily veiled 'woman who reached for Mr Moffat's sustaining arm I did not need the startling picture of the prisoner, standing upright with outheld and repellant hands, to realize that it be immobile had braped and that all which he, as well as I, had done and left undone, suffered and suppressed had been in vain. Mr Moffat, with no epo for him or for me, conducted his witness to a chair. Then as she loosened her curl and let it drop in her hp he cried in tones which rang from end to end of the courtroom. "I summon Carmel Cumberland to the stand to witness in her brother's defense." The surprise was complete. It was a great moment for Mr Moffat, but for me all was confusion, dread, a vellum of fear. I was shaken, shone her face, married by its inoffable sack, but calm as I had never expected to see it again in this life and beautiful with a smile under which her deeply shaken and hardly conscious brother sank slowly back into his soul amid a silence as profound as the hold she had immediately taken upon all hearts. CHAPTER XXII "WHERE IS MY BROTHER" WHAT is the explanation of Carmel's reappearance in town and of this sequential introduction of her into the courtroom in a restored state of health of which no one, so far as known, had ever seen her before. Who was responsible for her appearance? The particular are due ros. She had passed some weeks at Lakewood under the eye of Miss Unwin, the nurse who was detailed to watch as well as tend her. During these weeks she gave no sign of improvement mentally, though she constantly gained strength otherwise and impressed everybody with the clear light in her eye and the absence of everything suggestive of gloom in her, expression and language. There was the same complete loss of memory up to the time of the tragic occurrence which had desolated her home; the same harping at old moments on Adelhilde's happiness and her own prospect of a dear dear sister who soon which had marked the opening days of her convalescence. But beyond and back of all this was some secret joy, unintelligible to the nurse, which helped rather than retarded the slick girl's recovery. Meanwhile Carmel was allowed such liberty as her condition required, but was never left alone for a moment after a certain day when her eye suddenly took on a strange look of confused inquiry totally dissociated with anything she saw or heard. The awakening took place at Lakewood. Carmel had been out and was just crossing the hull of her hotel to the elevator when she stopped with a violent start and; clutching the air, was caught by her nurse, who had hurried up at the first intimation of anything unusual in the condition of her patient. The cause of this agitation was immediately apparent. Near them sat two ladies, each with a small wiggleglaze in her hand—a common sight enough, but it worked a revolution in Carmel's darkened mind. The light of youthful joyousness fed from her face, just like a jellyfish, just new life, hinned to the deathlike husb of mortal suffering. Dropping her eyes from the woman, she said to the woman in whose arms she felt herself supported: "Explain! Where am I?" "I spank where an aunt took good, iph. hotel. You have been bitten down, so just recovering." Her hand went up to her cheek, the one that, had been burned, and still showed the deep trices of that accedent. "I remember," said also. "These with "My name is Huckle, and we are here alone. But that need not worry you. I have watched over you night and day for many weeks." "You have? Because of this slight burn?" Again Carmell's hand went to her cheek. "I have a account of that only. You have had a serious illness quite apart from that injury. But you are better; you are almost well—well enough to go home, if you will." "I cannot go home—not just yet. I'm—I am not strong enough. But we shouldn't be here alone without some man to look after us. Miss Huckle, where is my brother." At this question, uttered with emphasis, with anxiety—with indignation even—Miss Unwin felt the emotion she had so successfully subtuded up to this moment, answered with a quiet motion toward the elevator: "Let us go up to our room. There I will answer all your questions." But Carmel, with the waywardness of her years, or perhaps with deeper reasoning powers than the other would be not to attribute to her, broke-sotly away from Miss Unwin's detrasting hand and, walking directly into the office, looked about for the newspaper stand. She reached it just as a boy stopped into view with the evening bulletin, on which had been written these words. Her order obtained in the trial of Arthur Cumberland for the murder of his sister, Adelaide. Carmel saw and stood, a breathless image of horror. A couple of gentlemen came running, but the nurse waved them back and herself caught Carmel and uphold her, in momentary drone of another mental if not physical collapse. But Carmel had come back into the world of consciousness to stay. Accepting her support, but giving no sign of waning facilities or imperfect understanding of what she had seen, she spoke quite clearly and with her eyes fixed upon Miss Unwin. "So that is why I am here, away from all my friends. Was I too ill to be told? Couldn't you make me know what was happening—you or the doctors or—or anybody? You were much too ill." protested the nurse, leading her toward the elevator and so by degrees to her room. "And the poor poor poor has been the sufferer. Tell me the whole story. I can bear it," she pleaded. "I can bear anything but not knowing. Why should he be fallen under suspicion? He was not even there. I must go to him. Pack up our clothing, Miss Huckinna. I must go to him once." With the sudden reading of the clouds which had obscured her intellect strange powers had awakened in this young girl. "You shall go." began the purse, and stopped. Carmel was not listening. Another change of thought had come. "How can it?" fell in unconscious betrayal from her lips. "How can I?" Then she stood slight, ghastly with lack of color one minute and rosy red with its excès the next, until it was hard to tell in which extreme her feeling was intense. What was the feeling? Nurse Uwain felt it imperative to know. She approached Carmel with renewed offers of help and such expressions of sympathy as she thought might lure her into open speech. But discretion had come with fear, and Carmel, whilo not disdainting the other's kindness, instantly made it apparent that, whatever her burden and however unsettled it was to her present weak condition, it was not one she felt willing to share. "What?" she murmured as she finally followed the nurse's lead and seated herself on a lounge. "Arthur on trial for his life! Arthur on trial for his life! Adelaide was not even murdered!" "No?" gnasped the nurse, intent on every word this long silenced witness let fall. "Who no no friend?" Was there not some one to understand? Adelaide—her her head fell till her face was lost to sight—"had-a—lover"— "Yes, Mr. Elwood Rangall. How was the first to be arrested for the crime." The soul in Carnel seemed to vanish at this word. The eyes, owh which had been so farseeing the moment before, grew blank and the little young body stiff with that death in life which is almost worse to look upon than death itself. Then the stony eyes softened and fell, the rigidity of her frame relaxed, and Carmel sank back again on the sofa and tried to read the headlines on the open shelf before her. But her eyes were unequal to the task. With a sob, she dropped the paper and entreated the nurse to relate to her from her own knowledge all that had passed. Miss Unwin complied, but with reservations. She had bothered about the marks on Adelaide's throat or of the special reason which the police had for arresting Mr. Banalade. "Blue did not dare," Strataglia said, "a horrible death to contaminate, and it was decided by O'Neill, a lawyer, that there had been no murder-woman unknown he met to her, nor it must be true." what she had said, had the labors of impossibility, as she thought of her having known what west on in the Whispering lines, then it had better Carmel received the account well. When she had it fully in mind she looked up into the nurse's face again and repeated, quite calmly, but with immovable decision, the order of an hour before: "We must return at once. You will pack up immediately." Miss Unwin nodded and began to open the trunks. This, however, was a ruse. She did not intend to take her patient back that night. She was afraid to sit it. The next day would be a better job by making sure and when the proper moment came would find some complication of trains which would interfere with their immediate departure. Meanwhile, she would communicate at the earliest moment with Mr. Fox. She had been in the habit of sending him frequent telegrams as to her patient's condition. They had been invariable, so far. "No difference, mind still a black," or some code word slang, was necessary now. She must look it up and formulate her telegram before she did anything else. The code book was in her top tray. She hunted and hunted for it without being able to lay her hands on it. She grew very nervous. She was only human; she was in a very trying position, and she realized it. Where could that book be? Suddenly, she cried it and falling on her knees before the trunk, with her back still up. Carmel, studied out the words she washed. She was leaning ever the tray to write these words in her notebook when—no one ever knew how it happened—the lid of the heavy trunk fell forward and its iron edge struck her on the nape of the neck with a knee blow which laid her senseless. When Carmel reached her side she found herself—the strong one and her stalked nurse the patient. When help had been summoned, the accident explained and everything done for the unconscious woman which medical skill could, suggest Carmel, finding a moment to herself, stole to the trunk and, lifting up the lid, looked in. She had been watchful of her nurse from the first and was suspicious of the actions which had led to this untoward accident. Being the 'two little books, she took them out. The books lay open, and on the page thus disclosed she behold written: Ap Lox Fidestum Troubum Ridiculous nonsense—until she consulted the code. Then these detached and meaningless words took on a significance which she could not afford to ignore: Ap-A change. Lox-Makes remarkable statements. Fidestum-Shall we return? Doubtful Carmel endeavored to and opt for whom this telegram was intended. There was nothing to inform her. A moment of indecision was followed by quick action. She had noticed that she had been 'invariably addressed as Miss Camptit by every one who had come into the room. Regaining her own room, which was on the other side of their common sitting room, she collected a few necessary articles and placed them in a bag, which she thrust under her bed. Hunting for money, she found quite an adequate amount in her purse, which was attached to her person. Satisfied thus far, she chose her most comfortable hat and coat and, putting them on, put them by her own door into the corridor. The time—it was the dinner hour—favored her attempt. She found her way to the office unobserved and, going frankly up to the clerk, informed him that she had some telegrams to send and that she would be out for some little time. Would be see that Miss Huckins was not neglected in her absence? "I will see to it," said he. Then, as she turned to go, he ventured to add: "It is quite dark now. If you would like one of the boys to go with you"—But he received no encouragement and allowed his suggestion to remain uninhibited. She looked grateful for this and was pulling down her veil when she perceived two or three men on the other side of the room watching her in evident wonder. Stepping back to the desk, she addressed the clerk again, this time with a marked distinction: "Have been very ill, I know, and not quite quite well." The shock of this accident to my nurse has cleared my brain and made me capable again of attending to my own affairs. You can trust me; I can do my errands all right, but perhaps I had better have one of the boys go with me." The clerk, greatly relieved, rang his bell. With the first step into the street Carmel's freely freed mind began its work. "Where is the railroad station?" she inquired of the boy who was trotting along at her side. "Over there," he answered vaguely, "Take me to it." The sight of the station, from which a train was just leaving, frightened her for a moment with its bustle and many lights, but she rilled under the stress of her purpose, and, entering, found the telegraph office, from which she could see the public house at home. Dr. Carpenter, loving her and her own truth, all the clear he knew, and, just return. Preserve silence, we must.

She was met in the doorway by the physician who was attending the nurse. He paused when he saw her and asked a few questions, which she was penetrating enough to perceive were more for the purpose of testing her own condition than to express interest in his patient. She answered quietly and was met by a surprise and curiosity which enriched that he was greatly drawn toward her case. This alarmed her. She did not wish to be the object of any one's notice. On the contrary, she desired to obliterate herself, to be counted out so far as all these people were concerned. But, above all, she was anxious not to rouse suspicion. So she stopped and talked as naturally as she could about Miss Huckins' accident and what the prospects, were for the night. These were favorable, or so the doctor declared, but the injured woman's condition called for great care', and he would send over a capable nurse at once. Menwhile the maid who was with her would do very well. She herself need have in worry. "You're very good," said Carmel. "I am tired and when I once got to bed shall certainly sleep. I shall give or not to be disturbed. Isn't that right?" "Shall I accompany you to the door of your room?" he asked. if you roomn't be asked She shook her head, with a smile. "I am quite capable of finding my room. I hope Miss Huckins will be as well in a week from now as I am at this moment. But, doctor—she had been struck by a strange possibility—"I should like to settle one little matter before we part. The money I may not be may quite safe in my hands. My memory might leave me scram, and then Miss Huckins might suffer. If you will take charge of some of it on her account I shall feel relieved." "It would be a wise precaution," he admitted. "But you could just as well leave it at the desk." "So I can," she smiled. Then, as his eye remained fixed on her: "You are wondering if I have friends. We both have, and I have just come from telegramging to one of them. You can leave us with an easy mind. All that I dread, is that Miss Huckins will worry about me when her consciousness should return during the night." "It will not return so soon. Next week we may look for it. Then you can be by to reassure her if she asks for you." The doctor, lifting his hat, took his departure. The interview might have lasted five minutes. She fell as though it had lasted an hour. She followed the doctor's advice and left half the money she had it charge of the clerk. Then she went upstairs. She was not seen to come down again but when the 8:45 train started out of the station that night it had for a passenger a young hearty girl, who went straight to her section. A balcony running by her window had fainted her escape. She was missed the next morning, and an account of her erratic night reached the papers and was published far and wide. But the name of Miss Caroline Campbell converged nothing to the public. At the house of Dr. Carpenter she not mat. Momat. What also told him heartened him greatly for the struggle he saw before him. Indeed, it altered the whole one of the defense. Perceiving from her story and from what she said, he indulged in her valour, her town was and yet a secret to every one of them herself; he neglected that the secret should continue to be kept. Carmel wished her brother, informed of her return, but the wily lawyer persisted. Arthur into his confidence until the last moment. He knew that he would receive only opposition from his young and stubborn client. One of the stipulations which he had made in securing Mr. Mofat for his counsel was that, Carmel's name was to be kept as much as possible out of the proceedings, and to this Mr. Mofat had submitted, notwithstanding his conviction that the crime laid to the defendant's charge was a result of Ranelagh's passion for Carmel and consequently distinctly the work of Ranelagh's bown hand. He had thought that he could win his case by the powers of oratory and a somewhat free use of innuendo, but his view changed under the fresh enlightenment which he received in his conversation, with Carmel. He gave unfolded before him a defense of unparalleled interest. True, if involved this interesting witness in a way that would be unpleasant to the brother, but he was not the man to sacrifice a client to any sentimental scruple—certainly not this client, whose worth he was just beginning to realize. Carmel was not strong enough for much talk. Dr. Carpenter would not allow it, and the continued clearness of her mind was too invaluable to his case for this farseeing advocate to take any risk. She had told him enough to assure him that circumstances and not guilt had put Arthur where he was and had added to the assurance details of an unexpected nature—so unexpected, indeed, that the lawyer was led away by the prospect they offered of confounding the prosecution by a line of defense to which no clew had been given by anything that had appeared. She had then laid down a dramatic climax which should take the breath away from his opponent and change the whole feeling of the court toward the prisoner. Strangely enough, the subject of Adelade's death was discussed in her hearing without any mention being made of strangulation as its immediate cause. Would her action have been different had she known that this was a conceded fact? FIND WATCH IN ALLIGATOR Is Believed to Solve Mystory of Miss- ing Twelve YearOld Girl. The finding of a valuable gold watch and chain in the stomach of a large alligator that died in a poud near Forsyth, Gn. is believed to solve the mystery surrounding the disappearance of two-wheel-old Janet Thomson from the home of her parents at Island Grove, Fla. (two years ago). The alligator was captured near Island Grove some weeks after the girl disappeared and was brought to Forsyth by J. M. Jackson. The little girl has never been heard from since she disappeared. When last seen she was standing on the banks of the lake, where Jackson captured, the inke, and the waterfall, the time a gold watch of the Waltman make, with her initials engraved on the back of the watch. The same initials are on the back of the watch discovered on the inside of the dead alligator. It is believed by Jackson and others that when the girl was playing on the bank of the lake, the alligator came upon the bank, and devoured her.

No one who has dealt with the City Collector's office during the past half a dozen years will note any deterioration in the service since the death of the popular Mr. Frank W. Cunningham Mr. H. L. Hulce his successor, has given positive and practical evidence of his ability to discharge the duties of the office and in a measure to slightly improve upon the already efficient service. It is but Justice to him and his associates to say this. The uniform courtesy, efforts to hast embarrass and handicap the patrons of the office who are the property owners of this municipality have caused him to win approval from all parts of the city Those gentlemen who selected him for the responsible duties understood their business and were efficiently advised of his sterling qualities for the wisdom of the appointment in being evidenced every day that he continues in the discharge of the duties of the office. O THE LAST CARTRIDGE The horrors of the convict lease system has been graphically told in these columns by Mra Clarissa Olda Koehler, the white lady of Washington, D C, but nothing to our mind has more forcibly emphasized its horrors than the following telegraphic report sent out to the country: Waynesboro, Ga., Aug. 1.—Flighting until his last cartridge was gone, Steve Simmons, a negro convict, who near here today shot and killed K. C. Cock, a guard, and with another convict escaped after boot shot and badly wounded, this afternoon dropped into a creek and disappeared in fifteen feet of water. The possse that caused his death is dragging for his body. The negro used the creek embankment as a breastwork, and emptied the contents of a convict guard at the josses. Sheriffs of two counties, court officers and bloodhounds joined in the chase of the convicts, one of whom is still at large. We admire bravery just as white men admire courage, and the picture- esque sooting to the death of this black convict will in a large measure atone for his crime. We have often wondered why it is that it is necessary for a black man to be an outlaw in order for him to display such sublime courage. Why should not the innocent make a similar display of courage and end their Career with the same Kind of bravery? Fifty such men throughout the Southland in the lawless sections where human life is not secure, would check the shahkhor now going on of uncleout black men, women and children. These butchery are, as a rule perpetrated by the lower elements of the white area. The better class of white people do not approve of such slaughter, and many of them have been known to take up the cause of the black man Steve Simmons know that his end had come. He determined to die fighting, and he kept his word. He dropped to a watery grave and by this method accured a surcease of all of his troubles. He went where the wicked cease from troubling and the weaty are at rest. They can do what they will with the body but the soul has gone to the God who gave it. We were impressed with his end and we are of the opinion that even his would-be elitors regard with respect the soul of the man who once lived within A BLOODY RECORD We were of the opinion that Gus H Gee who brutally killed Emmet M White the inoffensive colored man of this city, belonged to the lower strata of white men in the State and that he was not a man of a kind and character to be intrusted with the responsibility of carrying溶器. He's evidently a coward at heart knowing no doubt that he deserves death and fearing that some man may come forward and give him his just desserts. The Richmond (Va) News Leader does the people of Richmond a service when it publishes the following account of this man's career Ranohoke Va., Aug 2. Following is the record of Detective B G Be against whom the grand jury of Richmond failed to bring an indictment for the killing of the negro Emperor on the Seaplane Air Line Railroad in boud recently. Gee lived in Ranohoke up to 1900 and was on the Ranohoke police force for ten years. He doing duty as a policeman Goo kild was wounded another and was fined in police court for assaulting a woman He went on the police force in 1890 and a year or so later attempted to arrest a white man, Melhorn by name. The man resisted arrest and succeeded in wresting Gee's from him. Melhorn then went to work in the policeman with the club. Gee whipped him and shot Melhorn who died shortly afterwards. Gee was acquitted of the charge of murder it being shown that he fired in self-defense. Several years later Policeman Gee shot and wounded John Prillman. Prillman had threatened to kill Gee and the officer was on the 66th floor of the night while Prillman was under the grip of liquor he met Policeman Gee on Campbell avenue Prillman whipped out his pistol and fired Gee guilled his gun and returned fire. A number of shots were exchanged and Prillman was wounded. Gee was again acquitted in November 1945. Gee was called to arrest Mr. A. Clark. The woman charged that the police man had smacked her and he was tried on the charge of assaulting her and was fined $20. There is one thing which can be said in favor of Gee he has made no discrimination in his slaughterous career on account of race color or previous condition of servitude We cannot see why some arrangements should not be made to ship him back to Roanoke where he can continue his carnival of slaughter It would not be a bad idea to have the management of the Seaboard Air Line investigated with an idea of accertaining what grudge it may have against this city to cause it to import such a murderous proposition here with a revolver Certain it is that his license to carry a revolver should be revoked. A man like Gee should be in heaven - or the other place Divorce Case Witnesses Ball Forfeited Judge Mulqueen, in the court of general sessions in New York, doe clared the ball bonds of $2500 each that were furnished for the appearance of Alfred George Curphey and Captain Thomas W.

There—The Right of the Council to Interfere The Church Condemned. The representatives of the churches of Richmond and vicinity that composed the advisory council called by the River View Baptist Church relative to the troubles existing between Fifth Baptist Church, its past member, a number of its aggrieved members, reconstituted the Baptist Church July 6, 1911, at 8:30 P. M. Rev. Dr. E. Payne, former chairman, was reported sick, and for that reason could not attend. Rev. Dr. Williams, of Fountain Baptist Church, was elected chairman, and Rev Mary M. Payne, of Baptist Church, was continued as secretary. The minutes of the previous session wert road and approved. AGGRIEVED MEMBERS HEARD The aggrieved memoirers were called for, and Deacon M. G. Lewis came forward and read n' very strong paper, charging the Fifth Baptist Church with failing to properly invest into grave charges that had been laid against Rev Dr W. H. Dobblins, and pastor, nine members from the fellowship of the church without hearing them, as both the Bible and Church Guide required the church to do, and with refusing to grant letters of dismission when asked for by those members who voted for the rogational church, as the court had ordered at the time, for rogatives of both parties to the grouble, etc. The paper was received by the council in reply to a question, Deacon Lewis stated, that he with others, asked for their letters and was refused. Their only offense was they had voted in favor of the rogative church, and that the pastor Rev Dobblins stood as a flaming swear to that not a letter be granted until all asked pardon FIFTH BAPTIST CHURCH HEARD Fifth Baptist Church was called or and Rev Dobbins arose. The chairman asked him was he there as a representative or did his (the representative) Baptist Church) send representative, answered, "Yes myself, Dacons Church and Brown." Here a sign of relief went up from the council, because it had been reported that the Fifth Church would not be represented in the Rev Dr Dobbins came forward and proceeded to address the council SAW IT IN THE PLANET Among his first words he said: "At first I had not intended to conceive myself much about this matriarch on last Saturday I saw in the Planets and charged with wife-bearing drunkens site." Then I decide I would come "er." REV W H DOBBINS DENIES WIFE BEATING I deny boating my wife," said Rev Dobbins Hero the Reverend started to explain what caused the report that he beat his wife, when Rev Dr W H White made the point of order. The council must decide which she would try first. The council decided to try the Fifth Baptist Church first, and recognize her as a member of the council with no vote on the charges, etc against her. The next representative was called for. This brother was asked by Dr. Lewis he was (Brown) an officer in the Fifth Baptist Church and what office? Dr Lewis then said Suppose a member wants to get a letter of dismissal will be have to come to your Board or apply to the Church" Answer. "To the Deacon Board" Do your Board grant letter of dismissal" Answer no. If the board sees it they send the party on to office. So it depends upon the action of the Board whether the matter reaches the Church or not" said Dr Lewis You was the answer. Then Dr Lewis wanted to know about the election of the representatives to the council whether by the Fifth Church or how? By the deacon board, was the answer. Then Dr Lewis called the attention Brown to the statement made by his friend, Dobbins, while on the stand—That he Dobbinal. Deacons Cheatham and Brown had been elected and sent by the Fifth Baptist Church as her representatives. More the deacon lost his head, and like a rapid firing gun, loaded with only powder, began to fire at the Doctor what he would do and what he wanted, etc. Good Enat of the Moorc Street Church, looked up in wonderment and shook his head, such conduct by a brother deacon. ANOTHER SENSATION The next representative called for proved to be Clerk Cheatham, with a letter from the Fifth Baptist Church, and by a vote of the council clerk and representative Cheatham proceeded to read the letter. A second reading was called for. This letter gave the council to understand that the Fifth Baptist Church did not intend to respect or pay any contribution to anything the council did. After reading the letter Deacon Cheatham took his hat and left. At this point several members of the council tried to be recognized by the Chairman. Thief Shoots Jeweler David Silverman was shot through the shoulder in his jewelry store at 1672 Madison avenue, in New York, by a thief who, while escaping, took three gold watches. Silverman's wound is said not to be serious. 60,000 Dock Laborer Strike Dock laborers to the number of 30,000 went on at stake in London, King. The scamper's strike, which was spitited some time ago, convinced the dockers that they also could obtain their demands by similar action. Divorced Millienaire Engaged to Miss Madeline Forca. Head of Wealthy Family Betrothed Some Time Ago, But Announcement Was Dafared. Colonel John Jacob Astor, whose first wife, formerly Miss Ava Willing, of Philadelphia, obtained a divorce from him, is to marry again. His bride is to be Miss Madeline Talmage Force, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Force, of si West Thirty-seventh street, New York. The engagement in fact, follows an acquaintance of Joss than a year, for it was only last summer at Bar Harbor that Mr. Astor and Miss Force were introduced. Miss Force was graduated only last May from Miss Spence's school in New York City. The formal announcement was made by the parents of the future Mrs. Astor, but it did not come as a surprise, as the report of the engagement, although denied, was periodically included. Colodar Astor's attentions to Miss Force gave rise to the report as long ago as last winter. Miss Force who is the younger of the two daughters of Mr and Mrs. William H. Force, is one of the best known of the young women in New York society. She was a member of the fashionable dancing classes at the time of her debut a few years ago, and has since distinguished herself as an actress, taking part in many of the performances that were features of the small life of the city during the winters of 1909 and 1910. Both she and her sister, Miss Kathrine Force, are beautiful young women—the future wife of Colonel Astor being a decided blonde. The engagement has been rumored in social circles for several months, according to Mr. Force, who said he had feared that unpleasant talk might arise. Therefore it insisted on making the formal engagement, Mr Force continued "To please Colonel Astor on the telephone and we discussed the matter. For reasons of our own, we did not desired so early an announcement, but he accepted my point of view, and it was agreed between us that I should make the announcement "No date has been set yet for the marriage. All of that will come later. My daughter is with her mother and sister at 18 West Thirty-seventh street." Mr. Force is head of the shipping and forwarding firm of William H. Force & Co. 78 East street. Colonel Astor in 1891 married Miss Ava Wing, of Philadelphia, and they were divorced in November, 1899. in New York There are two children, William Vincent Astor and Miss Ava Alice Muriel Astor. Colonel Astor is the recognized head of the Astor family in this country CUBAN BAND STARTS SERIOUS UPRISING to Ashes. An uprising against the Cuban government has occurred at Regia, a suburb of the city of Havana, situated across the harbor, when General Guillermo Acevedo, a revolutionary veteran, with eight or ten companions, armed and mounted, took the field. It is reported that the party was reinforced later by 200 men. Before leaving Regia, General Acevedo issued a manifesto denouncing the administration of President Gomes as scandalous and corrupt, and adjuring all patriotic Cubans to rise and occupy the city. He declared that he would give Gomes fifteen days in which to resign, after which if the warnings was not obeyed, he insisted to apply the torch, and destroy properly indiscriminately "until the whole island was reduced to ashes." Setting forth from Regia, the insurgents skirted Havana, seemingly bound for Pinar del Rio. They halted at the suburb of Luyano, where they seized a citizen named Naranjo, demanding that he act as their guide. Upon his refusal Naranjo was shot dead. The party then rode on. Strong detachments of rurales and regulars were dispatched in pursuit of the robber. The country in which they are operating, slightly settled, and it is probable that the rurales will have no difficulty in following the trail. SHERMAN DISAPPOINTED Sunday Law Prevented Him Seeing Washington's Will. Vice President James S. Sherman called at Fairfax Court House, Va., in his automobile on Sunday to see the will of George Washington, which is among the records of the county clerk. His request, was fatly refused, and he was told that he could not see the document on Sunday, "even if he was president of the United States." The citizens' furnished, something else for the vice-president to see, however, when one of their number attempted to assassinate the sheriff of the county with a sawed-off shotgun. The vice-president saw the would-be assassinated individual in iron fence and tailed. SHEPHERDS OF BETHELHEM TO THE FRONT (Continued Factor Page Number) provement of rural schools are some of the things which this Order will aim to inculcate. The means of accomplishing these results will be as follows: At each annual session of the Order bulletins on every conceivable subject will be distributed to the delegates representable to the member lodges, and these delegates will in turn distribute them to the members of each subordinate lodge. In this way the Grand Lodge will act as a school of instruction to all of members. These bulletins will be "seasonally" prepared by the Agricultural Department of the United States Government and the Health Department of Virginia. Any one who is familiar with the conditions of the Negro in the rural districts of Virginia can see at once the annual session will be held on the second Tuesday in September next at Pampinla, Va. on the Norfolk and Negro Ballastie - About two hundred attendees are expected to attend OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

FIRST ANNUAL, SERMON The first annual sermon of this Order was reached at the Edenzoer Baptist Church on Sunday, June 4. by Rev Wa H Stokes, Th D. The occasion was one long to be remembered. Dr Stokes was at his best. The members considered this a rare treat to be at the first annual sermon of the Order. The programs were carried away as souvenirs, and yet this was not only thing carried away. In the middle the turnover how beasting societie, the amount a lot of good advice that will aid them the years as they go on through life. The two hundred men who marched through the streets, headed by a drum corps, attracted great attention. At the church they were not by the Daughters of Bethlehem, out in great numbers Bride-to-Be of Colonel John Jacob Aston. ```markdown ``` PENSION FOR ANDY TOTH Heward For Man Who Served Twenty Years.

At this season of the year the Metropolis is thronged with a large force. foremah of the grand jury is Capt. Charles F. Taylor, president of the board of fire commissioners, probably the most experienced man in Virginia in the work of conducting a grand jury inquiry. It was Captain Taylor who headed the grand jury that so thoroughly lifted the city almshouse scandal a few years ago. He was the foreman of the grand jury that indicted the men responsible for primary election frauds. His thoroughness and adroitness in dragging into the light the carefully concealed handwork of malefactors has made him a celebrity throughout Metropolis is thronged with a large force. L. J.

AT THE NATION'S METROPOLIS. Allon's National Nows Bureau. New York, Aug. 1, 1911. Preparation is being made by a delegation of prominent colored citizens to signify honor Mayor Gaynor with a presentation of a loving cup, expressive of the good will of the colored citizens of the Matropolis. The delegation, which is being handed by Bishop Alexander Walters, will make the presentation to the Mayor August 9th in the Aldermanche Chamber in City Hall. During the administration of Mayor Gaynor he has been especially solicited of the welfare and interest of the colored citizens of New York. This friendly attitude of the Mayor has especially commanded itself to the colored citizens, and this presentation is done as an evidence of appreciation of the Mayor's attitude. For some time the colored citizens here have wondered just what form of expression could be shown to the Mayor in response to his friendly attitude. After a short deliberation a presentation of a loving cup was decided upon, which was readily adopted by the committee. An interesting program has been arranged and addresses expressive of the good will of the colored people to the Mayor will be made. Bishop Walters, who stands high in the thought world of the Metropolis, and whose opinions on racial matters is valued, regards Mayor Gaynor as one of the squarer-officials that has ever been elected to the high office of Mayor of New York. The colored citizens are looking forward to the presentation with much delight. BOOKER T: WASHINGTON TO TOUR TEXAS Information has reached this Bureau that Booker T. Washington is making preparations to make a general tour through the State of Texas. The trip, which will be what Dr. Washington styles an educational pilgrimage, will be taken to become better acquainted with the life affecting the colored people of the State. Dr. Washington's plans to begin his tour through Texas the last of September. He will be accompanied by well known educators of the race and others interested in racial uplift. Texas is an interesting State, and the tour through Texas is being watched with interest. COLORED POLICEMAN ON DUTY. Among the forty-five new policemen to be added to the New York force last week was James F. Battle, the young colored man who was recently put on the force. Battle is, the first colored man to become one of the New York squad, which is said to be the finest police body in the world. The appearance of Battle on the force has inspired a great many colored men to sit for the examination. When Battle came out on his patrol duty last week he was the center of much attention, especially from his large number of friends residing in the Metropolis. Battle has been assigned to the West Fort-seventh street police station, and has been given a boat in a desirable neighborhood M. E CHURCH MISSIONARY ECHOES. The first of the four great educational, and missionary conventions that are being held in various sections of the country, under the auspices of the M. E. Church, was held in Baltimore, Md. the week of June 19-23, at the Sharpo-Street M. E. Church. The sessions were attended by a large delegation of prominent churchmen, who stand high in the affairs of Methodism. "Among the Now. Yorkers who attended the Baltimore meeting and were speakers were Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, and Miss Edith Leonard, secretary of the W. Y. O. A. The two addresses of the well known New Yorkers made a decided impression upon the big convention. The subject of Dr. Brook's address was "The Southwestern Christian Advocate and its Uplift of the Race." Dr. Brooks made a strong and powerful plea for a liberal support of the paper, which is regarded as the official organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church. MISS EDITH LEONARD DELIVERS ADDRESS. Among the noted women visitors to the Baltimore Convention was Miss Edith Leonard, the well known settlement worker and secretary of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Leonard spoke at the second day's session on the subject "How May We Interest Educated Young People in Christian Work." Miss Leonard in the course of her address said: "Give young people a chance to come to the front with their education and advanced ideas. Advanced ideas are demanded in every institution—then why not in the church. The church that is giving its young people a chance in its government is the only church that is progressive. Miss Leonard closed her address by making a plea for the support of the young men and women women's Christian associations. The address of Miss Leonard is supported to be one of the most in- treaty, addresser delivered at the convention. The second convention was held at Atlanta, Ga.; the week of July 28-30; the next in New Orleans, Aug. 2-6; and the last in St. Louis, Aug. 9-13. The purpose of the educational and missionary convention is to awaken a general interest in the church activities among the young people. SOUTHERN EDUCATORS IN THE METROPOLIS. At this season of the year the Metropolis is thronged with a large number of Southern educators, who are in the North in the interest, of the various Southern Institutions. The Southern educators are a pleasing addition to the summer life of the Metropolis, and are an earnest body of men. Among the Southern educators in the Metropolis are Professor W. W. Collier, of the Florida Baptist College, at Jacksonville, Fla.; G. C. Buchanan, of the Palm Memorial Institute, at Sodalia, N. C.; Prof. J. H. Torbert, of Fort Valley High School; Miss Lucy Smith, of Chattanooga, and Prof. Nelson Williams, Jr. and J. H. Blackwell, of Richmond, Va. A number of the Southern educators are attending Columbia University Summer School. THE AUGUST CRISIS The August number of the Crisis that is being published in the interest of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has a splendid applause. The magazine is ripe with information and is considered one of the strongest and most influential publications today. The Crisis is ably edited by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

Correspondent STORIES OF FRAUD ALMOST INCREDIBLE (Richmond, Va., News Leader, Aug 1, 1911) The story of the collapse of the True Reformers' Bank has not been half told Sensational disclosures of fronzled finance, fraud, and jeckleins juggling with bank funds will be told by new witnesses, who have been summoned before the grand jury which was reconvened by Judge Witt of the Hustings Court, this morning at 10 o'clock Since the cashier of the bank fed, an embezzler and the bookkeeper was indicated additional information concerning the transactions that led to the collapse of the bank has been obtained by the police and the Commonwealth's attorney ALMOST INCREDIBLE The frauds alleged to have been discovered are almost unbelievable. Criminal negligence and recklessness fake mortgage transactions, conspiracy between officers and employees of the True Reformers' Bank, grand larceny and petty peculations are among the serious charges that have come to the oars of the Commonwealth's attorney and the grand jury VICTIMS POOR NEGROES The crimes charged against those responsible for the conduct of the banks are made despicable by the fact that most of the depositors who suffered by the wrecking of the financial institution are poor and illiterate colored people—laborers, washerwomen, domestics, barbers, waiters, stablemen, farmers and small shopkeepers. Some of these unaltered, trusting negroes have spent twenty years in accumulating the little hoard deposited in the True Reformers' Bank. Many of them work left not only penniless, but dead. Driven to distraction by the loss of the money they had saved by rigid economy and at the cost of comfort, depriving themselves almost of necessities, some of the victims of the bank-wreckers have threatened violence. Cashier Hill, for whom the police of many cities are keeping a lookout, would Tare ill in the old Jackson Ward district today if he appeared in the streets. Feeling against the officers of the bank runs high. BLAME INNOCENT AND GUILTY The innocent and the guilty are confounded by the infiltrated nigroes who are brought up to a high pitch of indignation by the stories related to their nigroes move less familiar with the discoveries thus far made. AN ABLE GRAND JURY. The personnel of the grand jury that this thrown out the dragnet for the guilty. Injures a full and thorough investigation of the affairs of the wrecked bank. A stronger. Investigating body could harden as assembled in the city of. Blohm, well-informed citizens assert. The foreman of the grand jury in Capt. Charles F. Taylor, president of the board of fire commissioners, probably the most experienced man in Virginia in the work of conducting a grand jury inquiry. It was Captain Taylor, who headed the grand jury that so thoroughly sifted the city almshouse scandal a few years ago. He was the foreman of the grand jury that indicted the men responsible for primary election frauds. His thoroughness and adrottiness in dragging Into the light the carefully concealed handwork of malefactors has made him a celebrity throughout the State. MEN WHO KNEW FINANCE. The grand jury includes in its membership some of the most prominent citizens of Richmond, several of whom have intimate knowledge of the conduct of financial institutions. These men are qualified to make the most searching investigation of the affairs of the True Reformers. The grand jury's personal is as follows: Charles F. Taylor (foreman), H. W. Rountree, Fritz Bittering, T. L. Blanton, Robert Whitet, Jr., E. S. Rose, Colonel John Harwood, A. Eichel, B. T. Vaden and Abram Cooley. In view of the new information that has come to the knowledge of the grand jury it is not likely that the inquiry will end today, as expected. Fined, it now seems probable that the inquitior will be in session at least three days. NEWSOME STAR WITNESS J. Thomas' Newsome, a colored lawyer, of Newport News, one of the most prominent man of his race in Virginia, and one who has done much for the uplift of the Virginia negro, is said to be one of the most valuable witnesses yet secured by the grand jury. His testimony is of a nature that will make him a star witness. John Mitchell, Jr. president of the Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, the most substantial banking institution conducted by negroes in this State, is also credited with having supplied much valuable information. Like Newsome, Mitchell is a colored man of exceptional intelligence and stands high in the estimation of the better element of his race. ROBINSON KNOWS MUCH Great expectations and interest center in a certain Robinson, also colored, who is expected to throw light on large transactions, which involved the funds of the True Reformers' Bank. The investigation began with the searchlight turned upon that institution alone. It became quickly apparent that the frauds extended beyond the bank. It was discovered that the transactions in which the bank was engaged extended to the several branches of the Grand Fountain of the Order of True Reformers. THE FOUR PRONGS. These branches include a commercial enterprise consisting of a chain of stones conducted by the True Reformers, a sick benefit and insurance organization, a home for the aged, and the banking institution. There are four prongs extending from the main stem. Into each of these prongs the grand jury will insert the probe. On the surface there is evidence of corruption in each direction. Sensational revelations from fraud and financial beavers from each branch beavers. Following the roll call in the Hurlings Court chamber today, the grand jury retired to the seat of inquisition. Judge Witt delivered no additional instructions from the bench. The investigating body got down to business speedily. SOME BIG TRANSACTIONS Among the large transactions involving alleged embezzlement and grand larceny, according to report, are the sale of the big tract pawned by the True Reformers near the Soldiers' Home for $90,000, and the investment of $40,000 of the funds of the Order in the "White City," a no-go amusement park at Pine Beach on Hampton Roads. J. Thomas Newsome, Burrell, Giles B. Jackson and other prominent negroes will be called before the grand jury today in all probability. Los Angeles (Cal.) News. Los Angeles, Cal, July 26, 1911. The Baptist Union picnic, held on July 21st at Bonita Bay, was a great success. Between eight and ten thousand people attended the picnic, and all seemed to enjoy the day's outing to the fullest. The chief objects of engagement were bathing in the surf, launch and boat racing on the lagoon. And one of the great and pleasant treats to the picnics was the band concert during the afternoon. Miss Mattie Johnson, who has just purchased a $3,600 home, has broken the record. Miss Johnson is about twenty-six years of age and came to our city a few years ago, and has been employed in one of the wealthiest homes in Los Angeles. She took advantage of every opportunity to accomplish her aim. During her vacation for the past few weeks she had been in search for a home location, and succeeded in locating a six-room cottage in West 36th place. For this place Miss Johnson gave a check for the sum of $3,600. Great credit, is due this young lady for such an accomplishment. We trust and hope some of the young men of the city will follow her. Mr. Will Stevens is still relocating over his twelve-pound boy. We are glad to note that the mother and baby are getting along nicely. The B. M. C. of the Old-Fellows convene at Sacramento Monday July 21st, and will last one week. Special rates have been made on the S. P. to handle all their delegates.

She is expecting her husband and two daughters to join her soon. 2119 Marshall Avenue. Newport News, Va., June, 1911. To the Officers, Members, Friends and Schools of the Baptist State Sunday-School Convention of Virginia: Whereas, the leaders of the Baptist State Convention have espoused such a school at Lynchburg, Va., for the higher development of the young men and women: Therefore, we should show our worthiness and worth and second their efforts by giving a thousand ($1,000) dollars at the Baptist State Sunday-School Convention to help the school. In the convention recently assembled, in Richmond the spirit of advancement and intellectual development was manifested and predominant in every session. The needs of a greater Virginia Seminary and College were shown and the delights felt in honor bound to support that institution as our foremost real work done there was implanted in the who feel that the colored brother should be a factor in helping to develop his educational institutions and thus preparing himself for his share of the world's work.

To this end I am designating the fifth Sunday in July as State Sunday-School Convention'Rally Day for the Virginia Seminary Educational Fund. I shall ask that every Sunday-School superintendent and his co-workers make-special efforts during the month of July to make our effort a success on our Rally Day. I ask the hearty co-operation of every preacher connected with the Virginia Baptist State Convention and that they give their Sundayschools one of the collections or an after collection during that day. This encourages and an inclination to work among people to work as never before, inspired by progressive racial achievements, we will deliver (D'V) to the trustees of Virginia Seminary a thousand ($1,000) dollars to show our appreciation for what has been done and thus increase our race pride.

I wont on over and got the gen and when I came back he took it and put it in the car, and we went on up Grace street. We had more trouble with the lights, and stopped once and took one of the front lamps and put it on in place of the rear one. NEVER THOUGHT OF IT "Why didn't you take the gun over to Boatte in the first place?" "I might have done so. I don't know why I didn't." "Wasn't it almost as light as day at Sixth and Broad streets with the show windows on both sides?" "I couldn't say how light it was I don't remember whether the show windows were lighted or dark. I didn't give Henry any change back, forgot all about it, and he didn't ask what the gun had cost." "So you still owe him the change." "Yes. He didn't know there was any change coming to him. Our lieutenant saw us on the way up the street and Henry asked him whether our lights would do. My wife heard the car when we got home and asked me who it was. I didn't see Henry again until after the tragedy." "What about buying cartridges?" "I bought the cartridges the same day. He asked me to when he asked me to get the gun, and gave me 6 cents to buy cartridges with. The pawnshop didn't have shells, so I bought them near home. I don't remember whether he said what size shot he wanted or not. I didn't tell anybody about it until after the shooting. Then I told my wife I heard a single barrel shotgun had been found. WENT TO BEATTIE HOME "My wife and I went over to the Beattie home on Wednesday with the others, but I never mentioned buying the gun, and he didn't. My wife told me I had better go and tell somebody about buying the gun, or I might get into trouble myself. The next-day Captain McMahon called me up. My grandmother had been preaching to me to stand up and tell the truth. She didn't know about the gun, but I had bought some pistol cartridges for myself, and she heard something about that. As a watchman on the bridge, I carry a pistol, and had the cartridges in a belt, and she had heard I had bought cartridges. As an affair they might accuse me of sniffing, but I shot on account of the cartridges and told me to tell the truth. Cant. McMahon was writing for me at my house when I got home. I don't know how he came to know any thing, but he told me all about the whole thing. He had found about my buying the gun and all, and I told him the whole truth." AT HOME ON NIGHT OF MURDER "Where were you last Tuesday night?" "I was at home in bed asleep. On Tuesday night I went to bed about 7:30 o'clock, sleek from the hot sun." "After that thing happened it made it appear ugly for you?" "Well, I was worried about it." "It made it natural for you to try to put it on some one else?" "What do you mean? Put it on some one else? I don't know what Captain McMahon suspected when he came to see me. I was right worried." "Well, then, it was natural for you to try to show how and why you had gotten rid of the gun." "I don't know." "Well, now, didn't you really buy this gun to use as a watchman on Mayo's Bridge and then get scared when all this came out about Mrs. Doattie being murdered and try to put it off on Henry?" DID NOT USE SHOTGUN. "No, sir; I use a pistol as watchman on the bridge—and a shotgun." "Well, now, suppose you had bought this gun to use in your work on the bridge and they had traced its purchase to you, what would you have told them?" "I if I had bought the gun for myself to use on the bridge I would have sold Captain McMahon when he asked me. Otherwise, I don't go round telling what is my own business or what I buy." "You didn't tell anybody you had cartridges for Henry?" "No; I gave them to Henry on the way over when we came for the gun. I didn't think I had any business to ask him what he wanted with them, and I didn't think there was any harm in it." "Is this the gun you bought?" asked Mr. Smith, holding up the weapon found on the railway tracks, and which has figured constantly at the laughest. "It looks to me like the same gun," answered Paul Beatte. "I think it's the gun I bought." Was there any special mark about that gun to identify it from any other gun of the same model?" Well, it broke on the side for one think." **breek** 'bɪkɪ' *bɪkɪ' aɪte: 'I mean' *ady* *al-* *inactive* *mark.* tinctive mark, "Yes, there were two brass tacks in the place, where a place is broken on them, remember catching it in anger in them. "When was the first time you saw the gun after the tragedy? "Just now. Reference was again made to the search for the missing piece of the gun stock. It had been in evidence on the preceding day and members of the jury saw it, and admitted that it fit into the place broken in the gun in evidence. WITNESS EXCUSED. The wittig Paul Beattie, who had strengthened noticeably during his examination, was here excused and assisted from the porch several officers. He did not look once toward Henry Beattie, whose eye never left him until the officers took him around the corner of the house, where after a time he again collapsed and required attention. Mr. Wendenburg then announced that the Commonwealth had decided that the ends of justice would be best attained by not disclosing any further evidence on the part of the Commonwealth at this time, and he, therefore, offered no further witness. Mr Smith protested that a corpse's inquest, was to develop all of the evidence—to bring out all the facts surrounding the death of Mrs. Beattie—to determine how and when and by what means she came to her death. It was not a prosecution, he insisted, and he held it to be the duty of the Commonwealth to put on all witnesses who might throw away light on the case whisper. He asserted that he had never before seen a coroner's inquest conducted as this one had been, though he made no complaint against the rulings of Dr. Loving, which had been uniformly in his favor. NEVER HEARD OF IT. "I am not going to put my client in the position of offering any ovi-dence for the defense at a coroner's inquest," said Mr Smith, "but if the officers who have scoured the country in this case know of any ovi-dence favorable to the accused it is their duty to present it. I understand that there is a man known to the officers who heard the cries and shot. Why hasn't he been called?" "I know of no such man," replied Mr Wendenburg. Mr Wendenburg protested that Mr Smith had been allowed to go into a lengthy and tedious examination of Paul Beattie, which Coroner Taylor would not have allowed, and that Mr Smith, as attorney for the defense, was attempting to use the coroner's court to peep into the hands of the other side so as to prepare his case for the upper court Coroner Loving explained that under ordinary circumstances no such latitude would have been allowed, but that the case in hand presented extraordinary circumstances, and the examination had therefore gone far beyond the usual latitude of a coroner's inquest, both in the cross-examination of Henry Beattie by Mr. Wandonburg on Friday and the cross-examination of Paul Beattie by Mr. Smith. Policeman Jarrell was sworn and asked whether he know the name of a man who had heard the cries and shot. Mr. Jarrell replied that he had just been told since the question arose that Sam Talley, of Chesterfield county, heard the shot and cries but that he had not known it until a few moments before—in fact, had talked with Talley since the crime, and Talley had not mentioned it. Mr Talley was found not to be present. To set the point at rest without waiting for a witness to be summoned Special Agent Scherer took the stand and stated that in the course of his investigation he had talked with several persons who heard the shot, but not the horn. Some had heard some one "holler." The detective did not question the fact, as some had stated they had heard the noise of somebody hollering for half a mile, and he thought it probably true. He had not questioned them closely about the horn. ALL EVIDENCE CLOSED This closed the evidence, and before the jury retired Dr. Loving took occasion to thank the Richmond authorities for their help in conducting the case and for their efficiency in securing evidence. He also thanked the newspapers and their representatives, who, he stated, unnerved difficult circumstances and sought to give a little trouble as possible. There was one detail that he wished to set straight, however, in the published reports, which might have been construed to mean that there had been some misunderstanding on breach between Detective Captain McMahon and himself over the Paul Beatty evidence. The facts were, he said, that during the morning of Friday, before the inquest was opened, Captain McMahon called him on the telephone and said he was on the track of important evidence and requested that the coroner's jury would not adjourn before 4 o'clock. Captain McMahon, he said, had not asked that the inquiry be postponed, as had been printed, but merely that it would not adjourn before 4 o'clock, and as a matter of fact it sat until 7 o'clock, adjourning then until the following morning, Captain McMahon, the coroner stated, was fully satisfied with the conduct of the case and had so expressed himself. DENIES SIN LOVES ALLEGED (Richmond, Va., News Leader, July 26, 1911) Seated jauntily on the top of a table in her cell in the Henrico county jail swinging her patent leather shod foot, and laughing merrily at the suggestion that she was or ever had been in love with Henry Gjar Beattle, Benlab Binford, "the woman in the case," who many declare to have been the real motive which led to the murder of Louise Beattle one week ago, yesterday, bared from the beginning the story of her relations to the accused murderer, and of her life during the past four years. soehunousness, this child woman—she cry, anyhow. He gave me some every is 17 years old today—is strikingly now and then, but much, No. I pretty. And she is altogether half won't say he was a choos man. I girl, half woman. Her figure, her wouldn't say that, about a gentleface, her completion and her fairy man. I didn't come back to watch his But her eyes are hard and her wedding either I was in Chicago month—a full sensual mouth it is at the time. It costs about $20 to has the caprical twist of a woman who come from Chicago to, this town, has seen, and seen too much. ADMIT W TRUST She is father's slight or statue, but her figure is Beautifully rounded. She welts perhaps 125 pounds and is not more than five feet six inches. Her measurements since she has been placed in her steel barred cell show her childishness, positively. Ankily Yesterday she called to Sherif Kemp, united a knotted corner of her handkerchief and handed him a small coin. "Please go buy me some jacks," she bogged. Sherif Kemp did so, and today with her tiny rubber ball and the little jacks, she played the childish game. Sayo when she looked wistfully out through the bars, she seemed happy. Certainly one thing she is not—she is not a vampire. Her frankly expressed one wish for "for a good time." for a good time. And if she loves Henry. Beattie any, more than any other man, she is a wonderful actress. His fate does not seem to concern her in the slightest. She is too busy worrying about her own—when she deigns to worry at it. Usually she is laughing. She seems to regard the entire proceedings merely as a temporary embarrassment, which is rather humorous. "Love Harry," she said yesterday and smiled "Oh, no. I don't belove I'd put it quite that strong. "Yes, I like him. I like him a great deal. He is well educated, is a gentleman, is rich and has charming ways. But I just 'like him'—that's all. There are four or five other follows that I like just as much. Maybe there are one or two that I like a little more. "Yes, he sent me away to school incidentally. I want to say that the stories that I was expelled from school are all untrue. They knew my character at St. Mary's—it's in Alexandria—when I wont there. There were lots of other girls there just like me. I was a little over 14 when went. It was terribly lonesome you you you I had used to shaving a good time. When here in Riichmond I could stay out late whenever I pleased. Up there they wouldn't even let us outside the gate RAN AWAY TO WASHINGTON "One night I snaked away from the school with another girl, from Washington. Her name doesn't matter. She was of very good family and is now married. She was 14 then, too. We climbed the fence, and went to Washington. We spent the night there. The next day the people from the school found us. Two sisters came after us and took us back. Then I said I wouldn't stay. "Harry told me, too, that he was sending me off to be educated. After I came back I found he was sending me off to get rid of me. He wouldn't have anything to do with me for some time. "I went with other follows. After a while Harry and I went together again. All the time I was going with other men, though. I don't know whether Harry knew it or not. I never made any secret about it." "After my baby was born Harry gave me some money He didn't give it to me because he loved me, though Me on your life. He gave it to me to keep my mouth shut "I went away I wont down in Virginia. Then I wont to Nashville, Tonn Then I wont to Chicago I don't remember all the places I visited Some places I visited people I know Some places I didn't I went both West and East, mostly in big cities I was in St. Louis for a while Of course, I saw men all the time Why not? I'm young and I was traveling, to have a good time I thought I might as well. I had the money "After a while I tried to be good, but it was no use. I would find a place to work—and after I'd been there a couple of weeks somebody would recognize me The next thing I knew I would be discharged—and then I'd go right back to the old life. Why not? "I want to say here too, that I've never had a chance to be a good girl When other girls were being watched by their brothers and mothers and fathers, being sent off to school, being kept home at evenings I was allowed to do just as I pleased. My mother thought she was Jotting me enjoy myself. She let me stay out late whenever I wanted to and hardly ever asked me where I had been. I was only 13 years old I'll admit I know the difference between right and wrong. But I did not think of the future. "I'M THINKING NOW" "I'm thinking of it now all right— it seems pretty blue to me, too." and it seems pretty blue to me, too. The golden head dropped for a moment. It was the first sign of anything even approaching emotion. Thon Beulah raised her face, and she was laughing again. "But what's the difference?" she demanded. "Who carets? It is my business and nobody else's. I suppose I'll live somehow, won't it?" Am she swung her feet and hummed. "About that letter to me from Harry, hending me $10 and telling me to get an itemized bill for everything I bought," she remarked. "There was a very good reason why he should tell me to get an itemized bill. It happens that he had given me money several times before to start buying furniture—and I had spent it—yes, blown it. He wanted to make sure that I would buy furniture with that money next time. "I didn't intend to do it, either. If this hadn't happened, I had made arrangement to go to Basic City as the guest of three members of the Richmond Blues. Never mind their names. They are rather prominent in Richmond. But I was sure going. If this hadn't happened. Now, of course, I can't." so anyhow, so do you come every now and then, but the much, No. I won't say he was a cheer man. I wouldn't say that, about a gentleman. I didn't come back to watch his wedding either. I was in Chicago at the time. It costs about $20 to come from Chicago to this town, and I wouldn't spend $20 to see anybody on God's green earth get married. Gamble on that, son. No use for you to ask me what I thing about the murder. Twenty detectives tried to ask me that all shooting question at me at the same time. They couldn't rattle me, and if they couldn't you can! Don't waste your time, old. Tell you, what you use: you go down and ask Mr. Beattie what he thinks. Whatever he says, I think too. I believe just what he says. NO PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. "Mr. Beattie never told me much about his married life, as believed he did tell me he could do most anything he wanted to—stay as late as he pleased and never be asked any questions and some more like that—but that's all. I didn't ask him. I didn't care. "I don't know how many man I've known well enough to call them by their first name. You'll have to ask me an easier one. You haven't loved any of them. Yes, I guess I cared about as much for Mr. Beattie as any of the others, but I wouldn't go as strong as to say that I loved him or the others. Yes, I did tell the detectives I'd confess to killing Mrs. Beattie to keep Harry from going to the chair—but that was because he is rich, has a baby and future. What have I got? Who cares about me? "I just want to repost one thing. Several times I tried to be good and couldn't. A girl who goes wrong hasn't a chance in this part of the country. I never thought Harry would marry me. Never had any such idea. If I had thought he or any other man would, I would have been good. I don't think it. I know it. No chance for yours truly, though. Nobody but a poor fool in a padded cell would marry me. "At altogether, you can say this for me. Harry was one—but there were others—plenty of them. There still are, and I hope still will be." "Am I going to stick to him? Stick to him about what? I've got to look out for myself." On Yacht Cruise He Says Will Occupy Twenty-seven Years. PAPER STARTS ON LIFE CRUISE James B.

FINEO $1000 TO $1700 EAC: Defendants Conducted Nine Pools to the Restraint of Trade in the Wire Business. Thirty-seven of the eighty-four wire manufacturers and their employees, who were indicted by the grand jury in New York on June 29 on the charge of combining in nine pools to the restraint of trade in the wire business, entered pleas of nolo contendere before Judge Archbold in the criminal branch of the United States circuit court and each was fined $100 on the initial count and $100 on every additional count in tech indictment against him. The total amount of the fines imposed is $42,700. By entering this plea the defendants practically admitted that they are conducting a combination in restraint of trade. The first defendants to plead were F W Roobling, of Robbing Sons company, Alfred F. Moore, of Philadelphia, Frank J Nowbury, Joseph H B. Beldin, Thomas Wallace, Jr., Louis F. Antulfs and Nowell B. Parson, all members of the Fine Wiro Magnet association, as their pool was called. They were fined $1000 each. Later the other nineteen men, representing two other pools, entered their pleas of nolle contendre. They were fined sums ranging from $1000 to $1700. Judge Archbold overruffed every protest of District Attorney Wilso. When the pleas of these seven men had been recorded and it came to passing of sentence District Attorney Wise urged that there were nine distinct violations charged against all of the defendants and that in his opinion instead of the imposition of a fine of $1000 against each of the defendants, they might be fined $1000 aplece for each of the violations. Judge Archbold replied that he could not bring himself to see it that way, and in the cases of the Rubber Covered Wire association members he imposed a line of $1000 for the first violation and $1000 for each of the other violations. Ferdinand W Roebling, of John A. Roebling's Sons, who was indicted as a member of each of the nine pooling associations, except the horse shoe manufacturers topped the list of fine payers with $1700. $3.50 Recipe Free.

CHAMPION JOHNSON REMINISCES: RELATES EARLY EXPERIENCES Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world, is the man of the hour in London and England. The burly black is being idolized and lionized as a fighter has never before. And it is no wonder that Johnson has declared that he would proud to represent the Union Jack in his hats. An excellent idea of what London thinks of the fastic king may be gleaned from an excerpt from an article in the London Times, interesting comment on Johnson's private life, his stage work and boxing ability is made A portion of the article captioned "The Art of Johnson" follows. "On the other side of the Atlantic Johnson passes for a 'flush nigger,' a type not to be encouraged by those who have to keep ten millions of black men in subjection to the dominant race. In private, however, the conqueror of Jeffries is an amiable person, with a fund of quaint humor and a sportsmanlike trust in human nature (as long as long) and a questioning attitude which reconciles one to his golden teeth and the multitude of diamonds which cause him to resemble a starry night." In the following article Johnson relates some memorable happenings in his extremely eventful career Ily John Arthur Johnson Some memorable happenings in my career? Well I guess in one way and another I can recall not a few, for my life since my earliest childhood days has been an exceedingly-eventful one and indeed I think I may say that, although I am now only just over, thirty-one to be born on March 24, 1878 at Galveston, Texas I have crowded into my existence a good that more real incident of a particularly live nature than do many men in a career twice as long as mine has been My father and mother and their ancestors were all born in North Carolina and as a youngster I soon learned that I had not been born with a 'silver spoon in my mouth,' for I can recall that very often that exceedingly useful commodity, ready money, was chiefly distinguished in my home by its absence. Yes, many a time and often money was a very distant stranger from my parents' point of view, and thus I can conspicuously confess that I certainly was not brought up in the lap of luxury. I have often been asked whether I inherit my physique from my parents. Well to a certain extent I guess I do as my father was one of the most powerful men I have ever seen and he could perform feats of physical strength in the easiest possible manner which would have made most men ponder around for quite a while before they started even to attempt them. SOUGHT WORK AT EARLY AGE As far as I was personally concerned, I had to go out to work the very moment I was old enough. You see in all the family consisted of six children there had been nine but three died and as our appartenance were of a particularly healthy order, it wasn't always easy to find the money with which to purchase food for us. Still, no matter we just rubbed along somehow, and I am glad to say that work has never come amiss to me. I think I was about eight or nine years old when I first received any real money for my services and even then I got precious little of it, my wages only amounting to ten cents a week. However, I felt really proud of myself when the 'ghost first walked,' as they say in the theatrical profession. In what capacity did I earn this huge wealth? In a very humble one I acted as assistant to a certain worthy milkman, who entrusted me with the grave responsibility of taking time of milk upstairs to his patrons, the while he kept guard over the milk-cart in my absence. True, the duty was not a particularly arduous one, from your humble servant's point of view, but, all the same, I got plenty of exercise, for some of that milkman's clients resided on the sixth floor, and even higher, so that I have a notion that I must have traveled upstairs a good few miles in the earning of my salary NEVER LOOKED TO "MIX THINGS." However, I was as proud as a dog with three logs, although I don't think my occupation particularly impressed other boys of my own age who lived around Galveston, for I used to have to put up with a deal of chaf now and again; and as in my early boyhood days I was never particularly keen about "mixing things" with the rats. I used sometimes to take a hiding without retaliating. For, truth to tell, as a lad I was no means fond of fighting, and my mother has told me that I had such repugnance to pumprolling that more than once I left to my sister the task of fighting my battles. That sounds a curious confession for the world's heavyweight champion to make, doesn't it. But it's true enough, though I hope now. I have made compensation for my lack of enterprise. I think, however, I did this pretty early in my career, and I'll tell you just how it came about. Near my home there lived another boy; he was altogether bigger, and stronger than I was—who used to give me a very rough time of it, so never did we meet in the street but he would jostle and pummel me, and generally treat me as a sort of hum man punching bag. Q Well, as he was so much bigger than I was, for a long time I used to put up with his "moukey tricks," until one day a certain old colored lady who lived opposite to us happened to call me inside and said sternly: "Just you listen to me, dark! If you don't give that Morris boy—I forgot to mention that his name was Jake Morris—a real sound whipping the next time he "splits" across you, you'll just have to pummel you myself, so that's all there is about it!" Q From the gist of this kinkly promise I gathered that I was on two hides to nothing, so to speak I therefore decided to go in and "mix things" with that Morris boy the very next time I met him. As luck would have it, I did not have long to wait, for a few hours after the old dame had told me her kindly intention I saw young Morris coming along down the street. As was his wont, the moment he clapped eyes on me he just made a rush for me, expecting that as usual I would turn tall and bold. But this time he looked back. Book of surprise on his bullying face when he saw me stop and wait for him I shall never forget - he wore a real scar air, but all the same he started to "go for" me at once. FOUGHT BULLY FROM START However, on this occasion he did not find that he had such a walkover for I ripped into him with all the strength at my command, landing out blows left and right at random. I sometimes think now that I showed very little science on that memegable afternoon. But what did that matter? I achieved my purpose and I guess that when I had finished with Master Jake Morris he must have had a pretty shrewd idea that he had been fighting. Indeed I am not sure at all that his own mother could have recognized him on his return home for I pasted Master Jake good and lively. I must here say that, although my father was an enormously strong man he was nevertheless possessed of a particularly fair nature, that is to say he by no means approved of fighting for fighting's sake. Jack's my boy he would say to me never take part in a fight unless your honor compels you to do so. But if you find that you absolutely must fight have a care that you let your opponent know that he hasn't been to an afternoon drawing-room tea-party." "Thoroughly sound advice, don't you think? A rough-and-tumble does no harm to any one but bullying for bullying's sake is a coward's game which for one have always looked down upon as an action which no real man worthy of the name would storm to perform A short time after the incidents I have described I started out to make my own way in life by running away on a steamer bound from Falkeston to Boston. Goe' I'll never forget that little runaway. Immediately after the old hulk left the harbor I began to feel that the sea waves and I were not good friends. And though it had been my intention to lay low I suffered much pains that my groans were soon heard, and I was thus dragged out of my hiding place and called before the captain who told me to slip along quick to the cook's galley and do some work, the while he added that he would put me ashore; at Key West. TOO ILL TO WORK ON BOAT I obeyed that worthy captain as well as I could, but for the life of me I couldn't do any work I was far too ill, and thus when I was thrown ashore at Key West penniless, friendless and too utterly miserable for words, I was in a pitiful condition. The same I managed to live somehow or other until I made my way to Boston on the Journey suffering still more horrible pangs. In fact for the first few days I was afraid I was going to die, and afterward scared to death that I might live. I guess seismicity is a deal sight worse than fighting it is for me, anyway, and if the countries all the world over could be connected by subterranean passages, I should find traveling far pleasanter than I do. The sea is not good for me. At last we did reach Boston, and although I did not know a living soul in the place, I felt so relieved at being on shore once more that I didn't care how black my future might be. I was also enough, however, to realize that I must get work to do somehow, and as I wasn't proud and would put my hand at anything, quite a few good jobs came my way, for which I was truly grateful. Of course, in Boston I took part in many a scrap with other boys who wanted to "try me out," to see what sort of stuff I was made of. But when they found that young Jack Johnson was not standing any rough-and-tumble bullying they soon leave me alone, and thus I was able to work without undine interference. In all I was in Boston about four years. And I guess I did work! I just took on any sort of odd jobs that came my way, and saved as much as I could. And all the time I went to school to educate myself, so that in one way and another I didn't have much time for idling. WAS JOCKEY, TRAINER AND CYCLIST. Still, on the whole, things worked out. fine for me in Boston, considering that I arrived in the city without a cept and that I didn't know a soul who would give me a helping hand. I managed to save enough money to make a trip or two home to see the old folks, and when I reached the age of fifteen or thereabouts, I left Boston for good to live at home again and work around Galveston at anything that came, my way. It was about this time that I joined a racing stable, where I remained for a couple of years or so, figuring at one time and another as exercise, jockey and trainer. But all the time I was doing the racing business I was putting on Weight, so eventually, I had to quit it, and so it was necessary, for me to do something, I took up bicycle racing, at which I did pretty well on the whole, though I am not going to tell you that I was anything like a world’s champion. Still, I managed to make a living, and stuck to the business trade. Accordingly I secured a job as a painter with a certain Mr. Lewis, who was quite a successful amateur boxer, and who kindly gave me my first boxing lessons. D. Buchanan & Son Want Colored Trade.

Mr John Mitchell, Editor The Planet, City Dear Sir. -- My attention has just been called to an article that appeared in an issue of your paper dated July 22d, and it was as much of a surprise to me at the presentation it was to the colored people of our city, especially those that have been dealing with me for years, to think that such discrimination was made. DID NOT AUTHORIZE THE DISCHINATION. I do not know who gave you this information, but I naturally think that such a statement should be actually proved before going to print, and if you or your representative had called on one for an explanation for such discrimination (which you would be justified in asking or even demanding), you would have found out the true state of affairs, and the article in question would never have appeared through Willis Wiggs and Richard Jackson both of whom are in my employ, that such an order as indicated in your paper was given, but by one who had no authority to do so, and without my knowledge or consent. ACTIONEER'S BLUNDER The auctioneer told Willis Wines and Richard Jackson not to allow any colored people to enter the store during the sale, they naturally, thinking these were my instructions, they did not think it necessary to ask me if such an order was given. I have been in business on Broad street in the old store twenty-six years and do not hesitate to say that some of my best customers are among the colored people, and in those twenty-six years I do not believe there is a colored person having dealt with us that has had any cause to believe we show any discrimination between the white and colored. Personally, I do not know where we are a colored person found fault with my business dealings with them. I want to assure the colored people of our city that their trade has always been appreciated, and the same courtesies will be shown them in our present location as we tried to show them at the old store. I truly hope in justice to us. you will be kind enough to give this letter a conspicuous place in your next issue, so your people may know the truth Yours very truly, D A BUCHANAN, Prop of D Buchanan & Son. To Whom It May Concern This is to certify that we, the undersigned Willis Wines and Richard Jackson are employed by D Buchanan & Son jewelers, located for the past twenty-six years at 111 East Broad street, but now located at Third and Broad streets, were instructed by M E Glendoro, the auctioneer, employed by the firm, not to allow any colored people to enter the store during the sale, and not by D A Buchanan our employer and proprietor of D Buchanan & Son, and we regret that we carried out the said instructions without assuring ourselves that they were authorized by our employer (Signol) WILLIS W WINES, III, RICHARD B JACKSON, JR If a herring and a half cost a cent and a half, what will a ticket to Buck Roe cost with Mount O ? Ans. Adults $100 children, 50c FROM NEBRASKA. Better Times and More Wages. Broken How, Nebraska. Editor The Planet: I am sending you my subscription and thank you very much for your newspaper paper, which I enjoy very much. I have been in company with The Planet now for ten years out here in the West, and I find it a pleasant and a newspaper paper I left Winston-Salem, N. C. ten years ago this past May, and came here looking for better times and more wages, and I found the wages lot better, as I make $1.00 daily and back there I only made 25 cents a day. I have taken up a homestead of 640 acres of land and have made good improvements on it. I have fourteen months to stay on it yet, then I will secure my land deed; this farm is about 40 miles from Broken Bow, but as the trains run near this glace, it makes it very easy for me. My farm is a good one, and I can raise anything on it that grows in the West. The soil is rich and I have a fine corn crop this year, My son, Robert, farms for me, and he also owns a nice block of land in Broken Bow. This I made in the past ten years, and could have done better, but as I am nearing the age of 83 years, my strength would not allow it. But this is the place for the laboring colored people to settle. Yours truly, MRS. SADRA HUNTER. OLD PAPERS 15c per linen dried at The PLANET Office. Send when in use.

The speaker urged a more general payment of capital taxes and local taxation for individuals communities as means of adding to the school fund.
