The delegates arrived the day before and all seemed prepared for business "A clean sweep" was heard on all sides. There are about 400 delegates in attendance. A STORMY SCENE. Quite a stir was created when Grand Worthy Master A. W. Holmes arose to deliver his address. There were repeated blisses from the audience. He assured the members that he was in no way responsible for the crash that had come upon the Order. He said in part: "I say here and now that I have never had any knowledge of, or participation in, any crooked or dishonest work. I am not responsible for the default of the bank in any way, directly or indirectly." All the transactions which caused the downfall of the bank took place before I became grand worthy master and without my knowledge or participation. "I have lived an honest and clean life. I have labored a year to save the organization, charges have been made, and the burden of others' sins has been placed on my shoulders. In this condition I feel that I must get for the good of the Order without regard to my personal feelings or interest. I will, therefore, tender my resignation with the hope that those who will take charge in the future will be successful in saving the Grand Fountain. I pledge myself to co-operate with them to secure that harmony which has not existed for the last year. When the atmosphere has cleared and the responsibility for faults and mistakes has been duly placed. I feel sure that my devotion to this Order, my fidelity to its interests will be recognized and my reputation vindicated." His resignation was accepted TENDERED HIS RESIGNATION. As was expected, at the conclusion of his remarks he tendered his resignation. The same being accepted W P BERRELL FOLLOWS SUIT The Grand Worthy Secretary W. P. Burrell, secured the floor and addressed the audience. He was fully aware of the feeling that existed and was in accord with the demands of the investigating committee. 'In resigning he stated that he believed the time would yet come when he would be able to vindicate himself. PUBLIC MEETING. There was a large outpouring at the public meeting and the actions of the former officials were denounced in the most guiling language. The address of the eviction was delivered by Lawyer J. Thomas Nowsome. He was at times eloquent. He vividly portrayed the destiny of those responsible for the ruin and degradation that had befallen the Order. He has won his way into the hearts of the people by his bold, fearless and straightforward dealings. There were repeated onbursts of applause. Chief W. R. Grimn also spoke. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Tomorrow will witness the elec- tion of officers. Already the dolgates seem prepared, and the candidates are selected. One thing is certain— that none of the former officials will be elected. (Times-Dispatch, Aug. 22, 1911) Following a stormy four-hour session of the board of directors on the Grand Fountain, United Order of Time Reformers, beginning at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a canon of the laurents held at 1 o'clock this morning, a slave of the men who are to direct the affairs of THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA In this building 1700 students during the school term take their meals three times daily. It is the largest dining hall for colored students anywhere in the world. The building also contains an assembly room with a seating capacity of 2500, a teachers' dining room, with accommodations for 200, kitchen and a large bakery, which supplies the needs of the school and of the institute community. The tables in the dining hall are neatly arranged and decorated with flowers, and it is a most interesting sight to see the whole student body at a meal.

FRANK DOUGLASS, Roanoke, Va. the rehabilitated colored insurance order was drawn up, which practically excludes from the future management of the involved Order every executive officer identified with the last administration. Sentiment seems overwhelmingly in favor of the insurgents, and no serious opposition is expected to their election at the first session of the order, which takes place this morning. THE NEW OFFICERS The slate drawn up at the post-midnight session reads as follows: For Grand Master, to succeed A W. Holmes--W R Griffin, of Washington D C., for Grand Worthy Secretary, to succeed W P. Burrell, three men are proposed--B A Cephas, of Richmond, B A Graves, of Richmond, and J. F Douglass, of Ronnoke Dr John Merliweather, of this city, will in all probability succeed himself as Grand Worthy Treasurer, and J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, will by common consent be chosen as general attorney. The minor officers will all be chosen from the insurgents, insuring an entirely new regime in the future management of the Order. The naming these officers at an early hour this morning was presided over by Dr J. E. Dellinger of North Carolina. Three hundred and thirty-eight delegates from twenty-eight States were registered at headquarters at the True Reformers' Hall late last night. Delegates are here from as far South as Florida and as far West as Oklahoma. Two women are the delegates from Rhode Island, the northernmost State represented. The convention is composed almost entirely of men who have attained success and distinction among their fellows, and among their numbers are found bankers, real estate dealers, capitalists, physicians and lawyers in large numbers. All have come to Richmond imbued with the one idea—to rehabilitate the True Reformers and to place it again on a firm foundation, and to eventually work the refunding of every dollar lost by the depositors in the wrecked bank, which was an adjunct of the society. STAND-PATTERS ROUTED. The temper of the convention was shown unmistakably at the meeting of the directors. It met to consider the order of business of the convention and to decide upon the speakers. The present officers, who are making every effort to retain their seats on the directorate, had come to the meeting with a fully worked out program which would have placed the convention in the hands of speakers and officers in sympathy Newly Elected Officers.

A cut and dried order of business and addresses had been prepared and 5,000 programs printed by them for distribution The board of directors, by a large majority, absolutely repudiated this program, and proceeded to draw up one of its own, which made ample provision for the interests of the anti-administration party. The programs submitted by the administration were ordered destroyed. No less ludicative of the spirit of the insurgents was the action of the board in overruling a motion, made by one of the standpatters, to table a proposition looking to the disbursement of the Old Folks' Home fund of $25,000. Sentiment is much in favor of turning over this fund to the charitable institution since it is felt that such a clause has a superior claim on the finances of the wrecked bank. The old administration sought to prevent the disbursement of this fund, but the opposition party carried the move with little trouble. SESSION THIS MORNING The convention opens formally this morning with Grand Master Holmes in the chair. Under the pressure of public feeding, which is very much averse to their continuing, in offices, both Holmes and Secretary Burrell are expected to tender their respla tions immediately after the opening of the meeting. A temporary chairman will be elected to preside until the election of the new officers. For this office, Rev Morris, of New Jersey has been slated by the antis. He is counted on to appoint a nominating committee from among the progressive ranks which will see to it that all the important offices go to the insurgents. The address of welcome will be delivered by D Webster Davis, of Richmond, and the response on behalf of the delegates will be made by James I Mitchell, of Newport News. Following the addresses will take place the election of officers. HOLMES RETIRES AS GRAND RULER Charging that, the investigating committee has without adequate reason given itself the credit of exposing the defaulting officers of the defunct True Reformers' Bank when the thanks are all due to the grand jury which indicted them, and seeking to defend his administration of the affairs of the Grand Fountain, Grand Worthy Ruler A. W. Holmes created a decided sensation at the opening of the thirteenth annual convention of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, roster. day morning. He denied fully the charge preferred against him that he permitted deposits to be made in the bank knowing at the same time that it was insolvent and severely arguined the pernicious activity" of the committee on investigations which waged war upon the press and administration. His speech was repeatedly interrupted by catches and blisses, and order was with great difficulty preserved by the cooler heads among the delegates of the colored order, and by a special force of policemen which had been detailed to the hall to antitate and prevent trouble OFFICERS RESIGN. At the conclusion of his speech he offered his resignation which was promptly accepted Grand Secretary W. P Burrell followed with a speech to the delegates, in which he admitted the justice of the demand of an explanation from the present officers of the order and recognized the action of the grand jury indicting him as wholly warranted. In offering his resignation he said that he welcomed the opportunity which will shortly be given him to justify his conduct. The principal business of the day was the appointment of a committee on credentials and their work in accrediting the more than 400 delegates who have registered. Maurice Rousseau was made chairman of this committee, with eight other members selected, one from each of the eight principal subdivisions of the order. Pending the election of officers, which takes place this morning, Rev Morris, of New Jersey, acted as temporary chairman, and B A Cephas, of Richmond, as secretary pro tem. DEFENDS COMMITTEE At the public meeting last evening presided over by Fldyid Ross, of Missouri, the principal address was delivered by J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, who has been taking an active part in the prosecution of the bank officers. He outlined the work of the investigating committee, and defended its action. He mentioned the support which has been accorded the committee by white people of the country, who have interested themselves deeply in the matter because of the fact that the heaviest burdens of the bank failure had Tallen on the poorer classes of negroes, many of whom were em- (Continued on Page Number) 5 or 6 doses "000" will cure any case of Chills and Fever.

The House of the Whispering Pines By ANNA KATHARINE GREEN Copyright, 1919. By Anna Katharine Koble CHAPTER XXIX. "STRAPY" North in a sighloss stare from her to myself, muttering, and groaning and WHY linger over the result? Arthur Cumberland's case was won before Mr. Fox arose to his feet. The usual routine was gone through. The judge's charge was short, but studiously impartial. When the jury filed out I said to myself, "They will return in fifteen minutes." They returned in ten with a verdict of acquittal. The demonstrations of joy which followed filled my ears and doubled left their impression upon my other senses, but my mind took in nothing but the apparition of my own form taking his place at the bar under circumstances less favorable to acquittal than those which had exonerated him. I saw as never before how the testimony which had reinforced Carmel in my heart and won for her, and through her the sympathies of the whole people, had overthrown every specious reason which I and those interested in me had been able to advance in contradiction of the natural conclusion to be drawn from the damning fact of my having been seen with my fingers on Adelaide's throat. The horror attested me. I was reeling in my place on the edge of the crowd when I heard a quiet voice in my ear "Stendy! Their eyes will be soon to arthur, and then they will look at you." Maurit, and then they will look at you. It was Clifton, and his word came none too soon. I suffended under its quiet force and, taking his arm, let him lead me out of a side door, where the crowd was smaller and its attention even more absorbed. I soon saw its cause—Carmel was entering the doorway from the street. She had come to greet her brother, and her face, quite unveiled, was beaming with beauty and joy. In an instant I forgot myself, forgot everything but her and the effect she produced upon those about her. No noisy demonstration here. Admiration and love were shown in looks and the low breathed prayer for her welfare which escaped from more than one pair of lips. She smiled and their hearts were beams; she essayed to move forward and the people crowded back as if at a queen's message, but there was no noise. When she reappeared it was on Arthur's arm. I had not been able to move from the place in which we were "BRADY! THIRD EYE WILL SOON BE OFF ARTHUR." hemmed, nor had I wished to. I was hungry for a glance of her eye. Would it turn my way, and, if it did, would it leave a curse or a blessing behind it? In anxiety for the blessing, I was willing to risk the curse, and I followed her every step with hungry glances until she reached the doorway and turned to give another shake of the hand to Mr. Moffat, who had followed them. But she did not see me. "I cannot miss it! I must catch her eye!" I whispered to Clifton. "Get me out of this. It will be several minutes before they can reach the sleigh. Let me see her for one instant face to face." Clifton disapproved and made me aware of it, but he did my bidding nevertheless. I had just time to see this sleigh and note the rejoicing face of Zadok leaning sideways from the box when I beheld her panso and slowly turn her head around and peer eagerly—and with what divine anxiety in her eyes—back over the heads of those thronging about her until her gaze rested fully and sweetly on mine. My heart leaped, then sank down, down into unutterable depths, for in that instant her face changed, horror seized upon her beauty and shook her frantic hold on Arthur's arm. I heard words uttered very near me, but I did not catch them. I did feel, however, the hand which was laid strongly and with authority upon my shoulder, and, tearing my eyes from her face only long enough to perceive that it was Sweetwater who had thus arrested me. She had never been told of the incriminating position in which I had been seen in the clubhouse. It had been carefully taken from her, and she had supposed that my acquittal in the public mind was as certain as Arthur's. Now she saw herself undeceived, and the reaction into doubt and mislery was too much for her, and I saw her sinking under my eyes. "Let me go to horl!" I skrikked, utterly unconcerned with anything in the world but this tottering, fainting girl. But Sweetwater's hand only tightened on my shoulder, while Arthur, with an awful look at me, his sister in his arms just as she fell to the ground before the aweing multitude. But he was not the only one to kneel there. With a sound of love and misery impossible to describe Zedok had leaped from the box and had grooved at those dear feet, kissing the insensible hands and praying for those shut eyes to open. Even after Arthur had lifted her into the sleigh the man remained crutching where she had fall- Birth in a slightness stare from her to myself, muttering, and groaning and totally unheeded of Arthur's commands to mount the box and drive home. Finally some one else stepped from the crowd and mercifully took the retina. I caught one more glimpse of her face with Arthur's bent tenderly over it; then the sleigh allipped away. An officer shook Zadok by the arm, and he got up and began to move aside. Then I had mind to face my own fate, and, looking up, I met Sweetwater'ye. It was quietly apologetic. "I only wished to congratulate you," said he, "on the conclusion of a case in which I know you are highly interested." Lifting his hat, he nodded affably and was gone before I could recover from my stupper. It was for Clinton to show his indignation. I was past all feeling. Fares as an afterpiece never appealed to me. Would I have considered it farce if I could have heard the words which this detective was at that moment whispering into the district attorney's ears. "Do you want to know who throttled Adalade Cumberland? It was not her brother; it was not her lover; it was her old and trusted coachman." "Give me your reasons. They must be excellent ones. Sweetwater, or you would not risk making a second mistake in a case of this magnitude and publicity." "Mr. Fox, they are excellent. But you shall judge of them. From the moment Miss Carmel Cumberland overthrow the very foundations of our case by her remarkable testimony I felt that my work wag only half done. It was a strain on credulity to believe Arthur guilty of a crime so prefaced, and the alternative which Mr. Moffat believed in, which you were beginning to believe in and perhaps are allowing yourself to believe in even now, never appealed to me. "I allude to the very natural supplication that the act beheld by your man Clarke was a criminal act and that Ranelahel is the man really responsible for Miles Cumberland's death. Some instinct held me back from this conclusion as well as the incontrovertible fact that he could have had no hand in carrying that piece of broken bottle into the Cumberland stable or of dropping his engagement ring in the suggestive place where it was found. Where, then, should I look for the unknown, the unsuspected third party? Among the ten other persons who dropped something into that casket. "Most of these were children, but I made the acquaintance of every one. I spent most of my Sunday that way; then, finding no clouded eye among them, I began a study of the Cumberland land servants, naturally starting with Zadok. For two hours I sat at his stable fire, talking and turning him inside out, as only we dejectives know how I found him actually over whelmed with grief—not the grief of a sane man, but of one in whom the very springs of life are poisoned by some dreadful remorse. "He did not know he revealed this. He expressed himself as full of hope that his young master would be acquitted the next day. But I could see that this prospect could never still the worm working at his heart and resolved to understand why I left him so totally alone, but in reality shadowed him. The consequence was that in the evening dusk he led me to the cemetery, where he took up his watch at Miss Cumberland's grave, as if it were a Mecca and he a passionate devotee. I could hear his groans as he hung to the fence and spoke softly to the dead, and, though I was too far away to catch a single word, I felt confident that I had at last struck the right track and should soon see my way more clearly than at any time since this baffling case opened. "But before I allowed my fancy to run away with me I put in an evening of inquiry. If this man had an absolute alibi what was the use of wasting effort upon him? But I could not find that he had, Mr. Fox. He went with the rest of the servants to the ball, which, you know, was held in Tibbitb's hall, on Ford street, and he was seen there later, dancing and making merry in a way not usual to him. But there was a space of time dangerously tallying with that of the tragic scene at the clubhouse when he was not seen by any one there. "That piece of broken bottle—where was the rest of it? Sought for almost immediately after the tragedy, it had not been found at the Cumberland place or on the golf links. It had been looked for carefully when the first thaw came; but, though glass was pickled up, it was not the same glass. The task had become hopeless and ere long was abandoned. "But with this idea of Zadok being the means of its transfer from the Whispering Pines to the house on the hill I felt the desire to look once more, and while court was in session this morning I started a fresh search—this time not on the golf links. Tibbitts hall communicates more quickly with the Whispering Pines by the clubhouse road than by the market one. So I directed my attention to the ground in front and on the cartside side of the driveways. And I found the neck of that bottle: "Now, who would do this but Zadok who saw in it, he has said, a receptacle for some, nouns which he had." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. and Zadok—how had he carried it if it not in some pocket of his great contest? But glass edges make quick work, with pockets, and if this piece of bottle, had gone from the Whispering Pines to Tibbitt's hall and from there to the hill there should be some token of his work in Zadok's overcast pocket. "This led me to look for those jokes, and as I had by this time instuined my way into his confidence by a free and cheerful manner which gave him a rest from his gloomy thoughts I soon had a chance to see for myself the condition of those pockets. The result was quite satisfactory. In one of them I found a frayed lining, easily explainable on the theory I had advanced. That pocket can be seen by you. "But, Mr. Fox, I wanted some real proof. I wasn't willing to embarrass another man or to risk my own reputation on a hazard so blind as this without something really definite. A confession was what I wanted or such a breakdown of the man as would warrant police action. How could I get this? "This man, guilty though he might be, loved this family and was broken hearted over the trouble in which he saw it plunged. Excused today from attendance at court, he was in constant telephonic communication with some friend of his who kept him posted as to the conduct of the trial and the probabilities of a favorable verdict. "If the case had gone against Arthur we should have heard from his coachman—that I verily bellow—but when we all saw that he was likely to be acquitted I realized that some other course must be taken to shake Zadok from his new complacency, and I chose the most obvious one. "Just when everything looked most favorable to their restored peace and happiness I shocked Miss Carmel and through her this Zadok into the belief that the whole agony was to be gone over again in the rearrest and consequent trial of the man she still loves in spite of all that has happened to separate them. "He was not proof against this new responsibility. As she fainted he leaped from the box, and could I have heard the words he muttered in her ear I am sure that I should have that to give you which would settle this matter for all time. As it is I can only say that my own convictions are absolute. The rest remains with you." "We will go seek the man," said Dis trict Attorney Fox. THE moment I felt Sweetwater's hand lifted from my shoulder I sprang into the first hack I could find and bade the driver follow the Cumberland sleigh posthaste. I was determined to see Carmel and have Carmel see me. Whatever cold judgment might say against the meeting, I could not live in my present anxiety. If the thunderbolt which had struck her had spared her life and reason she must know from my own lips that I was not only a free man, but as innocent of the awful charge conceived in Sweetwater's action as was the brother, who had just been acquitted of it by the verdict of his peers. I must declare this, and she must believe me. Nothing else mattered—nothing else in all the world. That Arthur might stop me, that anything could stop me, that not disturb my mind for a minute. All that I dreaded was that I might find myself too late, that this second blow might have proved to be too much for her and that I should find my darling dead or passed from me into that living death which was the harder punishment of the two. But I was spared this killing grief. When our two convoyances stopped it was in the driveway of her old home, and as I bounded upon the walk it was to see her again in Arthur's arms, but this time with open eyes and horror drawn features. "Carnell" rushed in a cry from my lips. "Don't believe what they say! I cannot bear it—I cannot bear it!" She rounded, she looked my way said, struggling to her feet, beld back. Arth with one hand while she searched my face, and possibly searched her own soul, for answer to my plea. Never was moment more surcharged. Further word I could not speak. I could only meet her eyes with the steady, demanding look of a despairing heart, while Arthur, moved in every fiber of his awakened manhood, waited, think- PARKER "DON'T BELIEVE WHAT THEN SAY." ing, perhaps, how few minutes had passed since he hung upon the words of a fellow being for his condemnation to death or release to the freedom which he now enjoyed. A moment! But what an eternity before I saw the rigid lines of her white, set free relax—before I marked the play of human if not womanly emotion break up the misery of her look and soften her lips into some semblance of their old expression. Love might be dawn friendship, even, be a thing of the past, but consideration was still alive, and in another instant it spoke in these trembling senses, unfixed across a threshold made sacred by a tragedy involving our three lives: "Come in and explain yourself. No man should go unheard. I know you will not come where Adelade's spirit yet lingers if you cannot bring hands clean from all actual violence." I motions my driver away, and as Carmel drew back out of sight I caught at Arthur's arm and faced him with the query: "Are you willing that I should enter? I only wish to declare to her and to you an insistence I have no means of proving, but which you cannot disbelieve if I swear it, here and now, by your sister Carmel's sacred disguement. Such deprivacy could not exist as such a yow from the lips guilty of the crime you charge me with. Look at me, Arthur. I concaled you; now consider me." Quickly he stepped back. "Enter," said be. It was some minutes later—I cannot say how many—that one of the servants disturbed us by asking if we knew anything about Zadok. "He has not come home," said he, "and here is a man who wants him." "What man?" asked Arthur. "Oh, that detective chap. He never will leave us alone." I arose. In an instant enlightenment had come to me. "It's nothing," said I, with my eyes on Carmel, but the gesture Ifurtely made Arthur said otherwise. A few minutes later we were both in the driveway "We are on the brink of a surprise," I whispered. "I think I understand this Sweetwater now." Arthur made none, and the detective, after sending the Cumberland's second man before him to light up the stable, disappeared beneath the great door, whether we more slowly followed him. "Not here, came in a about from above as we stepped in from the night air, and in a few minutes the detective came running down the stairs, baffled and very ill at ease. Suddenly he encountered my eye. "Oh, I know!" he cried and started for the gate. "I am going to follow him." I confided to Arthur. "Look for me again tonight, or at least expect a message. If fortune favors us, as I now expect, we two shall sleep tonight as we have not slept for months." And, waiting for no answer, not even to see if he comprehended my meaning, I made a run for the gate and soon came up with Sweetwater. "To the cometry?" I asked. "Yes; to the cometry." And there we found him in the same place where we had seen him before, but not in the same position. He was sunken now to the ground, but his face was pressed against the rails, and in his stiff, cold hand was clutched a letter which afterward we read. Let it be read by you here. It will explain the mystery which came near destroying the lives of more than Adelaide: "No more unhappy wretch than I goes to his account. I killed her who had shown me only goodness and will be the death of others if I do not confess my dreadful, my unsuspected secret. This is how it happened. I cannot give reasons. I cannot even ask for pardon. "That night, just as I was preparing to leave the stable to join the other servants on their ride to Tibbitt's hall, the telephone ring, and I heard Miss Cumberland's voice. 'Zadok,' she said, and at first I could hardly understand her, I am in trouble. I want help, and you are the only one who can aid me." "I had been with her many years and I loved her as well as I could love anybody, though you won't think it when I tell you my whole story. What she wanted was this: I was to go to the ball just as if nothing had happened, but I was not to stay there. As soon as I could I was to slip out to get a carriage from some nearby stable and hurry back up the road to meet her and take her where she would tell me or, if I did not meet her, to wait two houses below hers till she came along. She would not want me long and very soon I could go back and have as good a time as I pleased. But she would like me to be secret, for her errand was not one for gossip, even among her own servants. I even tried to do better and be even more secret about it than she expected. Instead of going to a stable, I took one of the rigs which I found fastened up in the big shed alongside the ball, and, being so fortunate as not to attract anybody's attention by this business, I was out on the road and half way to the Whispering Pines before Helen and Maggie could wonder why I had not asked them to dance. "A few minutes later I was on the hill, for the horse I had chosen was a fast one, and I was just turning into our street when I was passed by Mr. Arthur's gray mare and cutter. This made me pull up for a minute, for I hadn't expected this, but on looking ahead and seeing Miss Cumberland peering from our own gateway I drove quickly and took her up. "I was not so much astonished as you would think to be ordered to follow fast after the mare and cutter and to stop where it stopped. That was all she wanted to follow that cutter, and to stop where it stopped. Well, it stopped at the clubhouse, and when she saw it turn in there I heard her give a little gasp. "Walt! she whispered. 'Walt till she has had time to get out and go in. Then drive in, too, and help me to find my way into the building after her.'" "And than I knew it was Mire Carr mel we End been following. Before I thought it was Mr. Arthur. "Presently she pulled me by the sleeve. I bearded the door shut," said she, and I. was a little frightened at her voice, but I was full of my importance and went on doing just as she had me do. Driving in after the outer, I drew up into the shadows, where the gray mare was hid, and then, reaching out my hand to Miss Cumberland, I helped her out and went with her as far as the door. You may go back now, said she. "If I survive the night I shall never forget this service, my good Zadok." And I saw her lift her hand to the door, then fall back, white and trembling, in the moonlight. "I can't. she whispered over and over. 'I can't—I can't.' "Shall Knoel? I asked. "No, no.' she whispered back: "I want to go in quietly. Let's see if there's no other way. Run about the house. Zadok. I will submit to any humiliation, only find me some entrance other than this. She was shaking so and her face looked so ghastly in the moonlight that I was PARKER IN HIS STIFF, COLD HANDS WAS CLUTCHED A LETTER. afraid to leave her. But she made me a gesture of such command that I ran quickly down the stops and so round the house till I came to a shed over the top of which I saw a window partly open. "Could I get her up on to the shed? I thought I could and went hurrying back to the big entrance where I had left her. She was still there, shivering with the cold, but just as determined as ever. 'Come,' I whispered; I have found a way." "She gave me her hand, and I led her around to the sheed. She was like a snow woman, and her touch was too itself. 'Wait till I get a box or board or something,' I said. Hunting about, I found a box leaning against the kitchen side, and, bringing it, I helped her up and soon had her on a level with the window. "As she made her why in she turned and whispered to me: 'Go back now. Carmel has a horse and will see me home. You have served me well, Zadok.'" "I nodded, and she vanished into the darkness. Then I should have gone, but my curiosity was too great. I wanted to know just a little more. Two women in this desolate and bitterly cold clubhouse! What did it mean? "I could not restrain myself from following her in and listening for a few minutes to what they had to say. But I did not catch much of it, and when I heard other sounds from some place below and recognized these sounds as a man's heavy footsteps coming up the rear stairs I got a fright at being where I should not be and slipped into the first door I found, expecting this man to come out and join the ladies. "But he did not. He just lingered for a moment in the hall I had left; then I heard him clamber out of the window and go. I now know that this was Mr. Arthur. But I did not know it then, and I was frightened for the horse I had run off with and so got out of the building as quickly as I could. "And all might yet have been well if I had not found lying on the snow at the foot of the shed a bottle of whisky such as I had never drunk and did not know how to explain. Catching it up, I ran about the house to where I had left my rig. It was safe, and in my relief at finding it I knocked off the head of the bottle and took a long drink. "Then I drank again; then I sat down in the snow and drank again. In short, I nearly finished it; then I became confused. I looked at the piece of broken bottle in my hand, took a fancy to its shape and, breaking off a bit more, thrust it into one of my big pockets; then I staggered up-to the horse, but I did not untie him. "Curiosity seized me again, and I thought I would take another look at the ladies-perhaps they might want me-perhaps-I was pretty well confused, but I went back and crawled once more into the window. "This time the place was silent—not a sound, not a breath—but I could see a faint glimmer of light. I followed this glimmer. Still there was no sound. "I came to an open door. A couch was before me, heaped with cushions. A long ray of moonlight had shot in through a communicating door, and I could see everything by it. This was where the ladies had been when I listened before, but they were not here now. "Weren't they? Why did I tremble so, then, and stare and stare at those cushions? Why did I feel I must pull them away, as I presently did? I was mad with liquor and might easily have imagined what I there saw, but I did not think of this then. I believed what I saw instantly. Miss Cumberland was dead, and I had discovered the crime. She had killed herself—no; she had been killed!" "Should I yell out murder? No, no. I could be sorry without that. I would not yell. Mistresses were plenty. I had liked her, but I need not yell. There was something else I could do. "She had a ring on her finger—a ring that for months I had fingered over and watched as I had never watched and gloated over any other beautiful thing in my life. I wanted it—I had always wanted it. It was before me for the taking now. I should be a fool to leave it there for some other wretch to piffer. I had loved her. I would love the ring. "Reachin' down, I took it. I drew ik from her finger. I put it. ik is my name." JOIN THE Solid Rock Union (20th Century Secret System) THAT BENEFITS IN LIFE, HEALTH & DEATH.

I-God in heaven, the eyes I had seen glassed in death were looking at me! "She was not dead; she had been witness of the theft. Without a thought of what I was doing my hands closed round her throat. It was drink, fright, terror at the look she gave me, which made me kill her, not my real self. My real self could have shrieked when in another instant I saw my work. "But shrieking would not bring her back, and it would quite ruin me. Miss Carmel was somewhere near. I heard her now at the telephone. In another minute she would come out and meet me. I dared not linger. "Tossing back the pillows, I stumbled from the place. Why I was not heard by my young mistress I do not know. Hor cars were deaf, just as my eyes were half blind. In a half hour I was dancing with the mids, telling them of the pretty stranger with whom I had been sitting out an hour of fun in a quiet corner. They beloved me, and not a particle of suspicion has any man ever had of me since. "But others have had to suffer, and that has made hell of my nights. I restored the ring to my poor mistress, but even that brought harm to one I had no quarrel with.

"But I fear for him. I fear for Miss Carmel. Never could I testify in another trial which threatened her peace of mind. I see that, instead of being the selfish stoker of her sister's happiness, as I had thought, she is an angel from whom all future suffering should be kept. "This is my way of sparing her. Perhaps it will help her sister to forgive me, when we meet in the world to which I am now going." THE END TWO AVIATORS FALL TO INSTANT DEATH Badger Crushed Under Machine and Johnstone Drowns. Two fatalities in the great international aviation meet, held in Chicago, happening less than an hour apart, caused the death of William R. Hadden, the wealthy aviation enthusiast, of Pittsburg, and St. Croix Johnstone, the latter meeting death when he fell into Lake Michigan and was drowned. Johnstone's fall was the more specacular fall of the two, he having an cended to a great height in a Mantis machine and was out over the lake gracefully cutting through the air, when the engine exploded, causing the machine to take a swift drop into the lake. The aviator struck the water about three miles from shore and made a few foeble efforts to swim to wards the motor boats that were running to his rescue, but sank before help could reach him. His body was later recovered. Badger participated in the most purely as an animateur he was precipitated from his aerophile, when it doubled up like a piece of paper, while doing a "dip" at a height of 150 feet. Badger's head was pierced by the ends of several broken rods when aviator and machine struck the ground. His neck was broken when he was removed from under the wreckage and he died on the way to the hospital. Both fatalities were witnessed by thousands of people who had attended the meet. Robinson, in the hydroplane, identified the machine in the water as that of Johnstone. He said he was near Johnstone and saw Johnstone's engine explode. The plane fell rapidly into the water, but Johnstone leaped out before it struck. Robinson says he was not more than 100 yards from Johnstone when the engine exploded. "I started for him, but the engine dropped through the frame of the plane, the planes folded up and in thirty seconds Johnstone and his machine were under water. He seemed to try to dive from the wreckage but was unable to free himself. Although I hovered over the spot where he disappeared for ten minutes his body did not come to the surface. The engine sank into the water, but one corner of the biplene remained near the surface of the lake." --- Captain Howard Killa Belt Captain Howard Killis Belfast, Captain John Euger Howard died in Baltimore, Md., from the effects of a self-inflicted wound last Friday.

SATURDAY .....AUG. 20, 1911 JOHNSON REPUDIATES STORIES THAT HIS FIGHT WITH JEFFRIES WAS PREARRANGED. (By Jno. Arthur ("Jack") Johnson) I had better hurry my readers along to my mooting with James J. Joffries, which. I think. I may say, was the most important boxing contest that has ever taken place in the history of the ring. You see, it's this way. So many utterly true stories have appeared in the newspapers to the effect that the match was an arranged affair, and so on and so forth, that I should just like to correct these false reports. So here goes! First and formost, let me say that the match was a thoroughly genuine affair. We were both out to win at all costs, and any one who still persists in the delusion that "Mr. Arrangement" played even the slightest part in the biggest fast encounter on record is hugging ultrasound worse than a nightmar. For the winner a fortune was waiting, and that fact alone, in these mercenary days, should have gone far to cleanse the affair of any underhand suggestions. But it didn't, as I well know, for even today there are boxing experts who would seem to doubt the genuineness of the big show at Rono. But these people, I think, must be in a trance, for no two men were keener on winning that fight than were respectively James T. Jeffries and your humble servant, John Arthur Johnson, as they were introduced to the huge crowd, stripped and trained to the minute for the fray, on one of the most sweltering days I can ever recall. JEFF WAS CERTAIN OF VICTORY You see, Joffries had hitherto always sided-stepped me, and when at last he did consent to meet me every thinking man should have realized that this concession on his part must have meant two things—firstly, that he was dead sure of winning, and, secondly, that he was out to fight on the level every inch of the way. A man with an unbeaten record does not emerge from retirement unless he is personally convinced that, barring accidents, his unbeaten record will still continue; so right here let me pledge my word that the Joffries-Johnson match was as straight a fight as has ever been contested since boxing became recognized as one of the finest sports in the world. Eight years before the contest—in 1902, to be accurate—Joffries, although refusing to meet me himself, nevertheless formed the idea that he might make his brother Jack his successor to the championship in the ring, and, accordingly, I was matched with Mastor Jack, who proved dead easy, as after four pretty brisk rounds, I put him to sleep in the fifth. At the time it was thought that big James would seek revenge, but he did not so, for he never said a word about fighting me, but drew the cofar line harder than ever. So that, in one way and another, you can see that public interest in the meeting between us had been pretty well worked up for years by force of circumstances—and Jeffries' refusal to tackle me. HOW HATTLE WAS WAGED. And now to the actual match it self: The fight went pretty much as I figured it would. Jeffries fainted a bit, and then tried the 'clinching game. I was ready, and we did a lot of pulling about, landing only a few punches in the Great round. Jeffries crouched and lot out at long range in the second; but I dodged him, and got home left and right, and we had another clinch. We wrestled a bit, and I was feeling very comfortable. Mr. Jeffries was pushing me about, but I was feeling quite fresh and got equally able to hit him when I wanted to, while, though he was looking happy so he could tell that he wasn't going to beat me for strength. He was fighting the way I wanted him to, so I didn't see any reason for a change. We wrestled a lot more in the third. I could tell that things were going my way. Jeffries seemed happy and easy in his mind. But, on the other hand, Mr. Jas. J. Corbett, who was one of Joff's seconds, was beginning to get anxious. He had been talking to me all the time, trying to locate that cowardice of maze, I supposed, but he was telling Joff to take it easy, which showed that he was noticing that the roughing game wasn't going to pay against me. Joffries started out to cut me down in the fourth, which was about the only round he did really well. But he didn't do no very much harm except when he opened that old cut and got him home, some hard ones on my body as well, and I went back to the ropes at times; but I was going back as he struck so the blows didn't tell as the crowd thought they did. He started out confidently next time, rather as though he mount trying to hit me or my feet. I didn't reckon that he would, but it was just as well to avoid raks, so I blocked his left, and let him have it from both hands, cutting his mouth, and bringing him into another clench. I uppercut him as well, and this made him above me about. I went quite easily, but the work and the heat lived. Jeff more than it did me, and my name was slitting me. CORBERT TALKED INCESSANTLY By the way, I must tell you that throughout the fight from the word "Got!" Corbett kept up a running fire of taunting remarks levelled at me, but that sort of stuff didn't worry your dumble a little bit. I just smiled at him, and chatted him back, and if I may say so, I don't think Jim got much the host of the parapente contest. Once, when Jeff got a good stiff poke on the jaw, he tried to shake off the effects of the punch by jigging up and down a bilt. It is an old trick, used to throw your opponent off his guard when he really has you badly stuck. Woll Jeff never much of a footwork artist, didn't deludo me a little bit. As a matter of fact, he did his little jig stops so awkwardly that I burst out laughing, dropped my hands, stepped back as if to give Jim plenty of space, and said: "Good! That's funny! Do that again, Mistah Jeffries!" And with that I just stood there and waited to see if Jeff was going to entertain me with a few more fancy steps. A little humor introduced into a prize-fight varies the monotony of things quite a lot. I have been told that the fact that Billy Dolaney was in any other corner but his own well nigh broke Jeff's heart, for Dolaney had been with him in all his other big fights. I understand that some silly little rumpus had separated the two, and Jeff, so Corbett afterwards said, couldn't get over the fact that Dolaney was planning a battle against him, as he had planned against all the men whom Jeff had beaten when at the zenith of his career. Anyway, Dolaney looked over at the snatch, and said: "Why don't you smile. Corbett was obviously attuned for an answer. He had run himself out, so to speak, and he morally blunted out: "Bill, he who laughs last laughs best." I forget who laughed last, but I have a kind of an idea that it wasn't Corbett. STARTED AFTER JEFF IN 'ELEVENTH. But to come back to the fight. Things wont along pretty comfortably for me right up to the eleventh round. After that the rest does not need much telling. I went all out for Jeff from the eleventh round—but, though he was weak and badly beaten, he was still so strong that I didn't judge it wise to take any chances. He was almost blind, and badly cut about, but, though I landed all sorts of uppercasts and hit him hard, he wouldn't drop till the fifteenth round. I nearly had him down twice in the fourteenth, but he still staggered at me in the next, and struggled up to his feet twice after going down. He was counted out twice, as you know, and I might have cut that last knockout out, but I didn't want to take chances in a wringle. Yes. I was a bit sore when they introduced Mr. Joffries as the champion, world, because, you see, I fancied that the title belonged to me all right. Well, I did now, you know, so I am not grumbling about it at all any more. Pathos in connection with a boxing contest seems a strange introduction, doesn't it? And yet Corbett himself said that he noticed several things which struck him as pathetic in the extreme. "The saddeat moment at the ringside," said, after the fight, "was when I can hit Jim's brother Jack over to me in the fight round, and said, 'Jack, your brother' whipped. What are we going to do?" "For heaven's sake, do something, Jim!' he answered. 'Let's do something. We can't let that black follow knock my brother out. Make Jim lose the fight on a foul." coming. "Jack," Corbett said. Jim is as weak as a baby. He couldn't even win on a foul if he wanted to. He hasn't strength enough left to hit a foul blow, even though he might think of it. "I shall not forget in a hurry the few minutes we spent with Jeff in his dressing room while waiting for the word to start for the ring," Corbett added later on. "We could hear the shouts of the mob and the thunders of applause that greeted the various celebrities who were being introduced. "Jeff listened in sullen silence. He was like a man in a trance. We tried to keep up a running line of funny talk, but Jeff wouldn't come out of that awful france he seemed to have fallen into. "And then, to cap it all, that Reno brass band got into the ring and started to play. "Just before the battle, mother." "I never knew just what that tune meant before, and I stole a look Jeff's way. The big follow was bount over, fumbling at his shoe laces, and I could see the big tears pattering down on the backs of his big, brawny fists. That tune, coming when it did, helped more than anything else to send Jeff into the ring in a complete state of collapse," was Jeffries's second final comment on the preliminaries which preceded the fight. "I should like here to remove the delusion; which would seem to be particularly prevalent, that Jeffrier did not show any real gameness. This, I can assure, is quite a mistake, for Jeff took a lot of punishment. Don't let there be any misunderstanding on that point. Mr. Jeffries fought a square fight and a game battle, and never at any time did I feel that it would be safe to take chances with a man of his boxing ability and great strength. HAD TO WEAR JIM DOWN Once or twice I thought I had him finished, but I at once found out that I was figuring things out on the wrong lines altogether, for he soon pulled round, and came at me so savagely that I was not at all certain that he would not be able to do it again. That was my reason for wearing him down, and trying to get him to beat himself, so to speak, before I went in to put the finishing touches. And now having, I hope, cleared away a number of utterly mistaken ideas which would seem to exist with regard to the big match, I don't think there is much lust for me to say about it, except that it brought me a sunt which many people would doubtless regard as a comfortable fortune. This I netted as my share of the purse as the winner, but I am happy to say that the little one count has been considerably augmented by music hall fees, which have totaled up in quite a pleasing manner: as, shortly after the memorial July 4, I started on a tour throughout the States at a salary which, I believe, is an easy record. All the same, I don't want a single member of the public to form the conclusion that I have developed into a mere music hall showman, a drawing room boxer, for such is not the case. I am merely fulfilling music hall engagements until some one worthy for, between ourselves, I've a kind of feeling that I'd like to have another go; and the sooner the opportunity comes the better shall I be to do so steps up and hands me out a real, genuine challenge. When that comes along I shall be real glad, pleased. Colonel Button has explained that no questions were asked him in the grand jury room indicating the least REBELS WIN IN HAYTI Port-au-Prince, Aug. 2.—The revolution in Hayti has triumphed. President Antolina Simon fied the capital today and took refuge on board the Haitian cruiser 17 Decembre, formerly the yacht American. With him are his wife and children and a number of his followers. The 17 Decembro lies in the harbor tonight, and it is believed Simon is awaiting the arrival of a foreign merchantman on which he can take passage for St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, or Jamaica. On all sides the capital is invested by followers of Gen. Firmin, one of the revolutionary leaders. The city itself is in the hands of a committee of safety, and there is no general disorder. Tonight numerous shots were heard, but those are believed to have been fired only in celebration of the overthrow of the Simon administration. Foreign interests are believed to be secure. FATAL RIOT ON·WHARE None of the foreign battleships have landed their blue jackets. The departure of the aged president was not without disorder, however, for as he was embarking at the wharf, there was a riotous demonstration in which the former president's chamberlain, Deputy Prin. of Jeremiah, and five other persons were killed, and Clementina Simon, his daughter, and six other persons were wounded. The injuries of Miss Simon are slight. President Simon left the palace at 4 o'clock this afternoon, after he had been informed that one wing of the revolutionary army, commanded by General Porale, had denied his request for three days in which to secure the safety of the city. The general informed the French and British Ministers, who went out yesterday to parley with him that owing to recent summary executions by Simon's order the president must leave the capital immediately or otherwise he would attack the city without delay. URGE SIMON TO DEPART The German and Cuban Ministers who want to Croix Des Bouquets on a similar errand found the ebolo commander there, Gon. Duccaste, disposed to grant the truce, provided a committee of safety was appointed. In view of the attitude of Gon. Porale, however, it was deemed best that Simon immediately lay down the reins of government and leave the city. Promptly at 4 o'clock Simon came out of the main entrance of the palace. Over his shoulder the old man, almost to the last had declared that he would fight to the end, and, if necessary, die in harness, carried his rifle. With head erect he marched down to the wharf. At his side walked his daughter, Clementina. Other members of his family, however, previously had taken refuge on board the 17 December. WOMEN MOB DAUGHTER As Simon and his daughter gained the wharf there was a rush of the mob that had gathered to witness the departure. Miss Simon was in the centre of the attack and several women, howling and shrrieking, succeeded in pulling off her hat. Chief of Police Saint Lo rushed to the rescue and led the young woman away from the infuriated crowd toward a schooner, the Bradford G. French. On the gang-plank Deputy Prin offered his arm to Miss Simon. As he did so an enraged man rushed up, and pressing the barrel of his rifle fairly into the deputy's face, fired. Prin dropped in his tracks, dead. Firing became promiscuous and before it ceased two other persons had been killed and six wounded. When the presidential party had boarded the schooner it ran out into the harbor and alongside the 17 Decrombor, on which they took refuge. Among those with Simon, who will accompany him in oxillo, are Gon. Monplaisir, aminister of war, and Minister of the Interior Sylvain. COMMITTEE OF SAFETY The committee of public safety, which tonight is in charge of the capital, is made up of perons prominent in the republic, among whom Judge Lechaud, president of the court of cession; Judge Gauvin, Senator Logger, former Haitian minister to Washington; Tanorodo Auguste, a former cabinet minister, and Dr. Louis Audain. Antoine Simon assumed the presidency of Haiti in December, 1908, after Nord Alexis had been deposed, and on December 17 was regularly elected as the executive by congress. Cape Haitien, Haiti, Aug. 2.—The American cruiser Chester satied today for Port-au-Prince. News of the embarkation of President Simon was received here with cooilings.

The early adjournment is therefore construed to mean that the body has about completed its investigation and only the preparation of the report remains to occupy the attention of the investigator. To set at rest the rumors regarding the state insurance bureau and, as a matter of justice to Colonel Button, the grand jury has with the clerk of the Husking Court to be spread on the records the following resolution: "Whereas, an eventing paper of this city published Friday, Aug. 4, a statement to the effect that the insurance department of Virginia was to be investigated by this grand jury, and whereas this statement which was wholly without foundation has been telegraphed to other papers in justice to the Stata Department of Insurance, we deem it proper so say that this grand jury never had any intention of investigating the insurance department of Virginia and that no evidence of facts were at any time introduced to this jury which would in the remotest degree call for any investigation of the conduct of that department. Such an investigation had never been broached by any member of the grand jury." The News Leader is glad to give the fullest publicity to the resolution of the grand jury printed above in regard to the alleged proposal to investigate the State bureau of insurance. In an article appearing August 4 in the noon edition The News Leader stated that the grand jury would investigate the State bureau of insurance for negligence in not closing up earlier the insurance branch of the True Reformers. The source from which this information came was thought to be entirely trustworthy and The News Leader, in giving currency to that statement felt that it was only antipolling by a brief space the news of the occurrence that was inevitable. Before the next edition of The News Leader went to press the report that Insurance Commissioner Button was being criticized by the grand jury was wholly denied, and this denial was given equal publicity. Now comes the formal report of the grand jury, from which it appears that the information of The News Leader in the first instance was untrue and that no action by the grand jury intended to criticize the State insurance bureau was taken or intended. The News Leader is sincerely sorry that it should have given currency even in one edition to a report that Colonel Joseph Button or the bureau under his direction would be judicially investigated. We desire to express our deep regret to Colonel Button for that publication, which it now appears was unfounded. —Editor. More than 30,000 colored people in Richmond and more than 600,000 throughout the United States are awaiting with eager interest the result of the probing—for there are upward of 3,000 subordinate fountains of the Grand Fountain and the membership of the Order of True Reformers is spread over twenty-sight different States. SYMPATILY GENERAL Sympathy for the hundreds of poor, illiterate and trusting negroes, whose deposits in the True Reformors' Bank, representing the savings of years, were pilfered by dishonest officers, is general among the white citizens of Richmond. Their interest in the hunting down of the guilty is likewise keen. Colonel Joseph Button, State commissioner of insurance, conferred briefly with Captain Charles F. Taylor, foreman of the investigating body, just before the grand jury was reconvened by Judge Witt in the Hustings Court chamber, at 11 o'clock this morning. Colonel Button also had a talk with Commonwealth's Attorney Folkes. shadow of suspicion on the part of the grand jury as to official negligence in the office of the bureau of insurance. FRAUD SEARCH RESUMED. The grand jury resumed its search for fraud and corruption shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. The investigating body had summoned only one new witness for today. The investigators may report to the court tomorrow, although it is not improbable that the inquiry will be continued through the first half of the week. The grand jury's personnel is as follows: Charles F. Taylor (foreman) H. W. Rummenitz, Gittlinger, T. L. Blanton Robert Hitterson, Jr. E. S. Rose, Colonel John S. Harwood, A Echel, B T. Vadon and Abraham Cooley. Walter R. Griffin, of Washington, chairman of the examining board of the True Reformers appointed to ferre out the guilty and bring them to justice, is closely following every stage of the grand jury inquiry, With A. Humbles, of Lynchburg; J. Thos. Newsome, of Newport News, and other prominent negroes, Griffin appears at the city hall at each setting of the investigators and remains until the hour of adjournment. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

The PLANET is read all over this country and in foreign lands. A colored man calling himself, "Captain John E. Simpson" and at times sailing under other names has been persistently swimming both white and colored people in Norfolk. Portsmouth, Newport News and Phoebus. His plan has been to represent that he has money in a col- ored bank in this city. He gets his victim to write to John Mitchell, Jr., President and tell him to send him six hundred and fifty "ollas" or some like amount at once to the person who is writing the letter or advancing him a small sum of money until he has gotten his money from Rich- mond. He alleges that he is captain of a sailing vessel, which according to his letters has been lost near Thimble Light off Buckroe Boach and as he has been carrying on this kind of swindling for about two years, that boat is presumably wrecked every two or three weeks. He asks that the letter be sent to him in caro of the person who advances the money. He never comes back to see if the money comes as he directs. We have written continuously to the people, who send these letters, but we have had quite a time to keep up with him. Keep clear of Captain John E. Simpson or anybody who looks like him.

Martin That Rev J. A Martin who is an alumnus of Virginia Union University and who now resides near Bannan Va. is a popular minister in many counties of the Old Dominion and whose acquaintance is broad and profound among white and colored alike and for whom the adoration of saints and sinners is given and the praise is given by the universal sympathy for him in the present bereavement of the recent death, of his beloved mother Mrs Lucy J Martin of R F D No 3 Danville Va. AN INVALID FOR YEARS After having been an invalid for about twenty-six years and having been confined to her bed nearly six months in her final illness she departed this life on Friday morning July 7th, at the venerable age of seventy. She leaves a loving husband three daughters, three sons and twenty-four grandchildren. Two daughters are married—Emma D Johnson and Mattie S. Ferrill. The oldest Salite B Maffin, always remained with the mother and nursed her to the last. The two married sons are George W Martin and Albert M Martin. The third and youngest Rev J A Martin, is now pastoring in Middlebury county, Va. What was singular about the funeral was that on the day of its occurrence, every near relative, especially grandchildren of the family, to the smallest child—both close and distant was present Rev R B Brandon officiated and the ceremony was held at the home. The deceased leaves a memorable record. She lived a consistent Christian life—thirty-five years without ever erring from the regulations of the church. "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" was the principle of her active life, for every neighbor knew nothing else of her but a congenial and harmonious personality of the community, who never disturbed the peace of a single neighbor, even to vindicate herself in an unjust attack upon her. During the twentieth-six years of her illness she was never heard to complain, for she assured all of her friends that God had given her "Job's patience and Joshua's resolution": that his yoke was easy and his burden light, and that he would put no more on her than she was able to bear. STRONG CHRISTIAN CHARACTER Her rare maternal ability and stro- Her rafa maternal ability and strong Christian character are so well reflected in the noble personal- ity of her son, Rev. Martin, that when one comes in contact with him there is always an inward feeling of the soul. She is the most individual individuality of the unseen mother. That she was loved and adored by her children is shown by the many allusions. As my dear mother used to say, "of my mother used to do and pray for me." made to her openly by Rev. Martin in his conversations. Truly did she understand the maternal mission as a divine ordination. "Now art thou a priestess unto those whom I have given thee," for during her forty-seven years of married career she was born to a family well and loved by the family circle that the loss of her is irretrievable to husband, children and neighbors. Let them not get despondent, for her voice is still heard today. Soon I shall stand where angels sing, Glad on your shore And fold my spirits tired wings. Resting evermore There I will wait for thee, my child. Storing my heart's full love. God guard and guide them safely on. Joining our lives above. H. A. M.

American Public Opinion to Blame Says Ransom N.Y. Sun, Aug 21 1911 The Rev. Reynolds a Ransom an teacher graduate who is pastor of the Bethlehem African Methodist Episcopal Church at 21 West Twenty- fifth street the largest negro church in New York asked his congregation yesterday. Who lynched Zacharia- Walker last Sunday at concerts table Park? His own answer was Not the cold blooded mob at coffee bar at American opera. And later Mr. Ransom said he his horse. I suppose the white race will never be satisfied until it has lynched a negro on Boston Common The pollination the plant in the field has to be educated for more fertility, with the visit of the scientist in the field to the trach. A survey of the plant in the field, press the silent acquires of the American people and the present attitude of the Southern States to respect the negroes. But the negroes themselves, M. Ransom said toward the close of the convention, are largely to blame for the contempt in which they are held and the impunity with which their liberties and their lives may be invaded. Sheriffs mayors, courts governers will not take seriously into account the interests of a people who have lost or surrendered the right to retaliate or call them to account at the bagot box. Mobs do not quip when there is no fear that their wild sentiments will be answered by a colley of bullets. Men would be slow to apply the matel for the incineration of a living victim if it were probable that the answering torch would dangle a flame in their midst. I am unwillingly but slowly coming to the conclusion that the only way for the negro in particular and the dark skinned peoples in general to win and hold the respect of white people is to mete out to them a white man's measure in all the relations of life. Profs. professions and solemn proclamations have little weight when they come from a people whose character has been so clearly disliked." Mr Ransom read carefully from manuscript the paragraph about meeting out a white man a measure, and tiger said to his 600 listeners, who sat tensely silent except for a Good 'good' here and there. But you stay inside the law. No matter what happens you stay inside the law. Then you can demand that the white man enforce the law. The day the negro becomes lawhe is doomed. But, you say laws are passed unjustly discriminating against us. I reply, agitate for their repeal. Just as the white man would do. Vote for the men who will pass just laws. To do that the negro must divorce himself from partisanship. After church one who found it difficult to reconcile the advice that the negro behead the law with Mr. Ransom's earlier word about retaliation was moved to ask the clergyman just what he meant. He replied that he had purposefully refrained from saying all that was in his mind in order not to inflame his people. "The negro race might as well put a pistol to its head and blow out its brains as to start in to fight." Mr. Ransom said in the interview, "but I'll tell you that I meant just this: When mobs of white men rise everybody in a community knows, "that they're coming before they come. When a negro's home is invaded or mobs come among negroes for lynching, as they did in Springfield, ill. If the mobs knew that they would be met with a hall of bullets — "But let me put it in another way. What would happen to a negro mob that went among white men to string them up? What would happen? Well. "At my old home in Ohio a colored man accused of shooting a Van De Vyver College, "Mind you, it is not reprisal I am advising it's preparation. To my people I say. He prepared." You've seen a dog chasing a cat across the street. The poor scared cat seems hopelessly outclassed. But when hardest pressed the cat turns, arches her back and glares. The dog stops. Often he slings away. If he stays to light—well, a cat can lick a dog. Do you see what I mean? These are 'some of the other things Mr Ransom said in his sermon. "The burning to death of Zacharish Walker happened in the State of Pennsylvania, which is better organized than any State in the Union for dealing with mobs. It happened in the State of the Hon. Philander C Knox, Secretary of State. This deed was done by a mob estimated to 17—M 8 contain 10,000 persons They were not inflamed by strong drink, for that Christian community closes its saloons on Sunday They were not acting in the heat of passion under the usual shield of such brutalities, that a white woman had been assaulted by a negro "Now that this barbarity has occurred in the North instead of the South, President Taft, who is always very considerate of the feelings of the South whenever, the negro is involved has a fine opportunity to speak to this nation and to the world against this national crime. "Can it be possible that our Secretary of State pulled off this human holocaust for the benefit of Admiral Togo the nation's guest, to impress him with the superiority of our democratic institutions over those of Japan?" "Booker Washington said recently that he could see light ahead for the negro in America. Do you? The race needs in Moses, but consider the Moses of the Bible I presume that he could have stopped at the best hotels that he could have been wined and dined that he could have given good advice when he saw one of his people attacked by Egyptians. But the Bible will tell you what he really did. If we are to have a Moses we want a real Moses patterned after that one who said he would rather affliction with his people and with good than to endure the pleasures of sin for a season." To his questioner of the afternoon Mr. Ransom road Perry Vaughn will punish these men. In the South they are never punished. The negro is helpless and the Southern output is dumb. The negroes should say. We are not going to be lynched any longer. We rather defend our lives like men than be led off to die like dogs. That what the negro would say if he had the spirit of the white man. At the end of the sermon added Mr. Karson a young woman came to him and said. Thank God there is at least one real man among our people. W. R. Griffin Elected Grand Master ((continued From Page Number) ONE) employed as servants in their homes other addresses were made by W Griffin of Washington, D C D Webster Davis and James I Mitchell The vital problem confronting the convention is the disposal of the assets of the involved bank, which are now in charge of receivers appointed by the courts. A resolution which will be put before the delegates by John Lewis, of Washington, advocates the transfer of $a1$ the property of the defunct bank to the Grand Fountain, on condition that it makes satisfactory arrangements to settle with the individual depositors. The plan meets with the approval of the delegates, and is claimed by the chief of the best solution of the difficulty. The flight of the present convention will center about this resolution, which will come before the body this morning immediately after the election of officers. The day will be given up to its consideration, and the final vote taken on it tomorrow. The Chicago delegates are here with Chief M. T. Bailey, making a good showing. They arrived here Monday, Aug. 21, over the Cheesapeake and Ohio Railway in through Pullman from Chicago, Ill. They will leave as soon as the session is over for New York, Boston and Philadelphia.

SAYED HIMSELF BY DARING TURN By a display of nerve, which was truly astounding, Charles Goode, a colored man, who was unable yesterday afternoon to control a pair of wild horses attached to an under-taker's wagon owned by A D Price, shot them into Henry street from Franklin in time to avoid a collision with a Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac train which was passing between the closed gates at Bolldere. Both horses were thrown violently to the pavement, and by some curious means an artery on the left blind ankle of each was cut, almost in the same identical place. Goode was not hurt. Goode lost his holding power at Franklin and Third, when the horses became frightened at an automobile truck. They raced wildly up Franklin street, and would have crossed the railroad track without mishap except for the train CLOSE SHAVE WITH DEATH. When he was only a short block away the driver saw the gates bending toward the ground just as the locomotive came in view. The horses simply could not be stopped. Before the end of the train had cleared Belydire, Goode would have been hurled against the side of the moving cars. He had to act quickly. With a vicious-pull he turned to the right into Henry street and came to grief, but he saved his team. As the wagon tongue was torn, out the horses, shocked by the fall, suddenly became still. A moment later the crowd which had gathered saw that blood was pouring from the two arteries. They rushed up with handkerchiefs to blind the wounds and partially stopped the flow of blood while waiting for a veterinarian. Shaken up, though he was, Goode did a very graceful thing when he personally thanked every person who loaned him money andankerkchief, Price left it right, that were not seriously hurt. —Times-Dispatch, Feb. 17, 1911. Editor Murphy's "Ox-Bone" (Baltimore Md Afro-American) The disgraceful failure of the Order of True Reformers carries with it a most serious lesson for the people of the Negro race who in the fear of God seek the honest advancement of our people. The only great True Reformer the world has ever known was Jesus of Nazareth. It is a fearful thing to use the outward organism which enshrined the leadership of Jesus to accomplish results which completely nullify the reformation of society sought by the Christian Church. Among the men indicted in connection with the looting of the Order of True Reformers, is a former executive of that Order, who claims to have been called to preach the Gospel of Peace and goodwill to mankind. Although his Master was so poor that he had not where to lay His head, yet this man who cannot lay claim to even a good high school education, had become of such great importance as to demand five thousand dollars a year, and to to place in a lordly manner, while his poor Master, Saviour of the world was content to use His feet as through mountains and valleys He moved, seeking not money, but to bless and help the oppressed men of His time. The "True Reformation" preached by Jesus was not a so called Gospel of money getting, but one of character He sought to improve the conditions of His time, not by greed and selfishness, but rather by self-denial, self control and righteousness. He declared, and it has never been repealed, that if men would seek first such things of self denial, self control and righteousness, that all the other necessary things of life should be added. But the indicted "True Reformer" of this order and in no doing have brought about a vindication of the Master's command. More deadly, vulnerable and damning to the race are such educated and "unprincipled rascals among us, than all the disfranchisement schemes, and jim crowisms that can possibly be conceived. If such men are guilty of the charges laid against them, the savior possible penalty should be imposed. Particularly are the educated men among us who seem to use their gifts primarily and almost exclusively in making money regardless of righteousness, should take notice and beware. The liberation of the slave came from God. He desires still further their emancipation from ignorance, poverty and oppression. The Negro who mediates way down in his heart, to use the power of his mind to fortune of his poor and suffering race, and to grow wealthy thereby, it were better for him that a millstone was tied around his neck and he be cast in the depths of the sea. The Lord gave, and around the Lord can take away. All around us we see men who have been endowed with rich and intellectual gifts and splendid abilities, veritable outcasts, and forever disgraced before the eyes of their fellow- Richmond, Va.

Race pride is not to be displayed in giving support to grand rancals simply because they have black faces Rather do we evince pride in our race We do not give the good name of the race for integrity, fidelity, and honesty We do not hesitate in advising our people to be slow in investing their funds in any enterprise simply and solely because it is run by colored men. Avoid grand ragsals whether they be of the colored or white race. Lot us do less booming of an enterprise, but let that enterprise boom itself by showing forth its own worthiness. Lot us stop parading our big men and saying how much they are worth in dollars and cents, until such show greater worth in that kind of moral excellence which shows itself in large and regular contributions to our elemenomy and charitable institutions. For after all this is the true measure of "big men"; not what they have, but what they give. Not their selfishness, but their Christian liberality on behalf of others. It is a positive duty of every Christian man, whether in the lodge, church on society of large, to do all that he can to save his people from the grafter and money lover, who makes his way into all such institutions to knock down and to steal. Let us not soon forget the needed lessons which the bunch of indicted "True Reformers" and the bad odor still in the air, omitted from the remains of the Baltimore end of the Metropolitan and Realty brokerage of New York, would point out.
